"Does the official know Fanning?" Wang asked cautiously.

Zhu Xiaoyun nodded, "My father wrote to this person, saying that he was originally stupid, but then he suddenly became extremely talented, and won the first place in the Wu County selection competition in one fell swoop. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Xiaoyun asked his wife puzzled, "Why did you suddenly mention him?" ”

"He's coming to our house today, to visit Pe'er?"

'Visiting Pelle?' ’

Zhu Xiaoyun was a little stunned, "Is he very familiar with Pei'er?" ”

Zhu Xiaoyun only knew Fanning in general, and he didn't know anything about Fanning's relationship with his daughter.

"They are familiar with ......"

Wang tried to use a more gentle wording, "You also know that Pei'er once disguised herself as a boy and studied at Yanying Academy for half a year, and her table mate at that time was Fanning. ”

Zhu Xiaoyun opened his mouth wide, and he smiled dumbly for a while, "This is very interesting!" ”

"Do you think it's funny?"

Wang said worriedly: "They are mixed together every day, and they will fall in love with each other for a long time, aren't the officials worried?" ”

"Pell is only ten years old! Is it a little too early to think about this? ”

"Your daughter is no longer a yellow-haired girl!" Wang couldn't help but raise his voice.

"Alright! All right! Don't worry. ”

Zhu Xiaoyun hurriedly comforted his wife, "Tell me what happened today?" ”

Wang told her husband about Fanning's visit today, and she didn't let her daughter come forward, and finally her daughter ran out without permission.

Her evaluation of Fan Ning is still relatively objective, she thinks that Fan Ning is knowledgeable and reasonable, and she is a sensible child, the key is that her daughter is too willful, to put it mildly, she is a wild girl.

Of course, she wouldn't say the word "wild girl" in front of her husband, so she changed it to a euphemism.

"Pell has been spoiled by her grandfather since she was a child, freewheeling, very willful, and I am afraid that if she continues to be willful, there will be some gossip that is not good for her."

Zhu Xiaoyun knew that his wife had always complained about his father's way of disciplining his granddaughter, and when he talked about his daughter today, he faintly blamed his father, which made Zhu Xiaoyun feel a little uncomfortable.

He smiled reluctantly and said: "The girl goes out to play with friends, this is not against etiquette in itself, it is also a normal thing, you have to control Pei'er, it is not realistic to lock her up at home all day, it is better to let her make more friends, today Liushe people brought their son to visit me, his son is good, it is our Wujiang boy Chu Qiao, let Pei'er contact him." ”

Although her husband said it lightly, Wang's heart moved, when she returned to Wujiang last year to keep filial piety to the old lady, the third sister-in-law Liu Hua faintly mentioned to her nephew Liu Ran, although she didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning was obvious, that is, she wanted to be a matchmaker for Pei'er.

The Liu family is a native of Songling Town, and it is also a wealthy family in Wujiang, and the Zhu family has been married for generations, which can be described as a good match, Liu Ran is the leader of the younger generation of the Liu family, and it is said that the boy won the second place in the examination.

Today, the Liushe people brought their son to visit their husbands, and it looked as if the younger generation was visiting the elders, but the intuition told the Wang family that I am afraid that things are not so simple.

"Official, did the Liushe people mention Pei'er?"

"I didn't mention it, I just said that I wanted his son to have more contact with Yi'er and become friends."

Yi'er is Zhu Yi, Zhu Xiaoyun's second son, sixteen years old this year, currently studying in Taixue, Zhu Xiaoyun really thought that Liushe people brought their son to establish a relationship with their second son.

Hearing what his wife said, he suddenly woke up a little, "You mean that the Liu family has taken a fancy to Pei'er?" ”

"I just feel this way, last year, the third sister-in-law Liu Hua introduced me to her nephew Liu Ran, and praised him for how smart and elegant he is, isn't it obvious?"

"Maybe she also wants Liu Ran to become Yi'er's friend?"

Wang sighed, "If you want to be friends with Yi'er, you should be told that when a woman chats with a woman, what can you say besides marriage?" ”

Zhu Xiaoyun laughed, "It seems that my daughter is a fragrant glutton, and she is robbing it everywhere!" ”

"Official, now is not the time to joke." Wang looked at her husband with some complaint.

"Madame, don't be so nervous!"

Zhu Xiaoyun smiled and comforted his wife: "I guess you have been nervous and used to Zhe'er for many years, so Pei'er is also regarded as Zhe'er, in fact, there is no need, my attitude is very clear, Pei'er can go to play with friends, but you have to contact other friends more, Fan Ning can be contacted, Liu Ran can also be contacted, anyway, there is a sword girl to protect her, she will not be wronged." ”

Wang sighed faintly, maybe her husband was right, she had worried too much about her eldest son over the years, and she habitually put it on her daughter.

Thinking of the eldest son, Wang's heart tugged again, has Zhe'er been like this all his life?

．．．．．．

A few days later, on this morning, the autumn rain began to fall in the capital, and the whole sky became foggy, and the chill of late autumn shrouded the capital full of life.

Fan Ning did not sit in the study and listen to the sound of the rain, but wandered alone in the old Caomen tiles, just like you can find the essence of the garden in the rain, and there will be a harvest when you visit the tiles on a rainy day.

There were very few pedestrians in the tiles, and it seemed very deserted, except for the occasional few students who came to forage for food, without umbrellas, with their sleeves covering their heads, running in the rain, and soon getting into a snack shop.

Holding an oil-paper umbrella, Fanning enjoyed the rare silence on a rainy day alone, having already eaten breakfast and had no interest in the snack shop.

He was interested in the shop that sold all kinds of knick-knacks, so he could see if he could buy some interesting things and send them back to his sister.

At this time, Fanning stopped in front of a small jewelry shop, and the shopkeeper sat at the door, carefully making a lotus flower made of gold, the core of which was a large crystal white pearl, drilling a small eye on the pearl, pouring a little melted grease glue, and then inserting the pearl into the half-cut needle on the core of the flower, and after the grease glue dried, the pearl was stable.

Immediately, the petals of gold flakes that were beaten as thin as cicada wings were installed.......

Fanning watched for a quarter of an hour and watched the shop make the golden flowers with his own eyes, and he was amazed by the exquisite craftsmanship.

"Little official, are you interested? I bought it and gave it to my mother, a beautiful headdress. The owner recommended it to him with a smile.

"How much does this golden flower cost?" Fanning asked with a moment's hesitation.

The shopkeeper smiled: "The small shop only makes silver jewelry, this kind of gold jewelry is not much, generally I want ten yuan, but it rains today, I don't have a business, even if you help me with a business, eight dollars!" ”

Fan Ning estimated that the cost of this golden flower, including pearls, was about five yuan, and he didn't have to pay it to the craftsman, and the profit was three yuan, so Fan Ning smiled and said: "I'll buy it for six yuan!" ”

"The little official's bargain is too ruthless, I'm going to lose money for six times, give me some craft money! One price, how about seven dollars. ”

Fan Ning thought that he still had rent, so he nodded, "Then seven yuan, you can help me wrap it up." ”

The shopkeeper was overjoyed, and hurriedly found the jewelry box and helped Fan Ning carefully put the golden flower up.

Fanning took advantage of the gap in his packaging to take a look around his small shop, and saw that the shopkeeper's various silver jewelry was indeed very delicate and amazing.

At this time, a familiar voice suddenly came from the door of the store, "Shopkeeper, sell me this golden flower!" ”

"Little lady, this golden flower has been bought by the customers in the store, I'm really embarrassed."

Fanning laughed, walked out and said, "I'll sell it to you, ten dollars!" ”

There was a pretty little lady standing at the door, holding an oil-paper umbrella, who was not Zhu Pei?

Behind her, Jian Meizi stood behind her like a goddess, holding a large umbrella, which was already taller than the shop.

Zhu Pei wore a light red tight-fitting half-sleeved shirt, a small sleeved long shirt with a green placket collar, and a dark red wide six-panel long skirt, all made of the precious Luo Qi, which was the most fashionable clothing for women in Beijing.

She combed her hair in a small double-ring bun, her hair in the middle was like a cloud, and she inserted a jade feather hairpin inlaid with precious stones, her skin was like congealed fat, her eyes were full of autumn water, and her double eyes were shining like jewels.

Zhu Pei tilted his head and looked at Fanning with a smile, "This little official, you haven't paid yet!" If you don't buy it, why do you want to resell it to me? ”

Fan Ning took out seven taels of silver and handed it to the shopkeeper, who took it with a bitter face, and secretly thought in his heart, 'This little official is too dark, he bought it for seven yuan, and sold it for ten yuan in a blink of an eye, this is making his own money!' ’

He had the intention not to sell, but the deal had been reached, and the shopkeeper had no choice but to say angrily: "Little official, don't sell it so expensive, making black money is not the job of a scholar!" ”

Fanning smiled slightly, "Then sell it at a loss!" ”

He handed the golden flower to Zhu Pei and said with a smile: "Little lady, this golden flower is given to you." ”
