Fanning hurriedly walked outside the gate, and a young man with a red baggage, a short brown coat, leggings, and cloth boots stood at the door, holding a rattle in his hand.

"I'm looking for an official surnamed Fan, do you live here?"

"My surname is Fan!" Fanning hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"May I ask the name of the junior official?" The messenger asked very politely.

This is the rule of the trade, you have to say the name of the recipient to receive the letter, Fanning said: "I'm Fanning, right?" ”

"That's right!"

The messenger handed the letter to Fanning, and asked Fanning to draw a charge on the note, and then hurried away.

Fan Ning looked at the letter in his hand, it was actually two, and by looking at the handwriting, he knew that one was written by Ouyang Qian, and the other was written by Zhu Pei, and these two little ladies actually wrote their own letters at the same time.

"Fanning, don't you have my letter?" Su Liang asked.

"No, it's all my letter."

"Who wrote it, Ouyang Qian?" Su Liangli asked with a smile on his face.

"Go aside!"

Fanning pushed him away and said to him again: "Why don't you go out and buy some spring water, do you still need me to remind you of this kind of thing?" ”

Su Liang woke up at this time, and hurriedly ran back to the house and went out with two big kettles.

There is a mobile vendor selling water at the gate of the old Caomen Wazi, who drives a donkey cart from 30 miles south of the capital to pour spring water into the city every day to sell, although it is very hard, but the income is not bad, and he can earn four or five yuan a month.

Fan Ning took the letter back to the room, he read Ouyang Qian's letter first, it was actually a letter written by Ouyang Qian in the morning.

Ouyang Qian's letter was very short and hastily written, saying that her father had been preliminarily designated as the chief examiner, and her father had restrained her, no longer allowed her to go out, nor allowed anyone to visit, and she could not even write a letter to prevent being criticized, and this state of 'semi-house arrest' would continue until the end of the imperial examination.

Later, Ouyang Qian seemed to want to write something, but it was estimated that it was too late, so she had to put away her pen in a hurry, and even wrote only half of the words that wished him the gold list high school.

Fan Ning put Ouyang Qian's letter away, and then opened Zhu Pei's letter, Zhu Pei's letter was even shorter, only one sentence, 'Visit the day after tomorrow, the third day of October.' ’

Fan Ning smiled and shook her head, Zhu Pei came to look for her several times, but she was not there, this time she simply made an appointment first.

At this time, Cheng Yuanyuan's voice came from the courtyard, Fan Ning slowly walked to the window, and saw Cheng Yuanyuan making tea on the stone table in the courtyard, Su Liang sitting on the stone bench, holding his cheeks and looking at Cheng Yuanyuan's skillful sencha, and the two whispered and laughed from time to time.

Fan Ning felt quite embarrassed in his heart, there is still a real fate between people, Su Yan can't look down on how many little ladies he kissed, so I don't know how he met Cheng Yuanyuan.

........

As soon as the morning dawned, Fanning was awakened by the sound of a hammer knocking on the door, he had read a little late last night, and the bed was so warm that he couldn't open his eyelids, and the knock on the door annoyed him.

"Fanning, Juppe is here, don't you hurry up!"

Hearing that Zhu Pei was coming, Fanning got up with a strong spirit, he opened the window, and a cold wind blew in his face, which made him feel so cold that he hurriedly got back to the bed, but the drowsiness was gone.

"Jupei, you come and sit in my study for a while, I'll clean up!" Fanning said as he yawned heavily.

But there was no voice from Zhu Pei in the courtyard, Fanning was a little strange, and hurriedly put on a soft velvet sheepskin armor and two thick leggings on his lower body, and then put on his sergeant's uniform.

He opened the door, and there was no shadow of Zhu Pei in the courtyard door, and at this time, Su Liang came out of his room and pointed to Cheng Yuanyuan's house opposite.

Immediately, Zhu Pei's laughter came from Cheng Yuanyuan's room.

Fanning breathed a sigh of relief, so he took the copper basin to the well to fetch water, endured the cold and biting well water, he hastily washed his face, and brushed his teeth with sand salt.

At this time, Jupe, who was wearing a fox fur coat, walked out, and seeing that Fanning's hands and face were red from the cold, she thought for a while and said, "Fanning, you better invite a servant woman!" At least boil some hot water for you, do some chores, etc. ”

"We also thought about it, it's inconvenient to live together, if we want hot water, we will buy a little, and the old Caomen Inn sells hot water, but we are too lazy to run, and it doesn't matter if we are used to washing with cold water."

"What about that night? It is more comfortable to sleep with hot water scalding your feet. ”

Cheng Yuanyuan walked out with a smile, "In the future, let the cuckoo be responsible for boiling water, so that everyone has hot water to use, starting tonight, I will ask my brother to buy the stove and the big kettle back, and then buy some wood and charcoal." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Cheng Ze running in from outside with a few bags of buns, "The buns that have just come out of the cage are still hot!" Eat it hot, everybody. ”

As soon as he looked up, he happened to see Zhu Pei, and he was so shocked that he almost threw away his buns, there is still such a delicate little lady in the world?

If Ouyang Qian's beauty is gentle and pretty, and Zhu Pei's beauty is delicate and atmospheric, she is a typical woman from a large family in the south of the Yangtze River, with an aura of water charm, her skin is crystal white, her ruddy mouth and high nose bridge are like sketching in a painting, and her eyes are as smart as autumn water, shining with jewel-like luster.

Although Cheng Ze is a son of a big family in Yangzhou, he has never seen such a beautiful woman as Zhu Pei, and he was stunned for a while.

Cheng Yuanyuan saw that her brother's ugly appearance was revealed, she glared at her brother with some annoyance, and introduced him: "Big brother, this is Miss Zhu, she is here to find Fan Ning!" ”

She specially bit the words 'looking for Fanning' a little harder, suggesting that her brother should not have any thoughts of wrongdoing.

Cheng Ze came to his senses and hurriedly laughed, "Let's have breakfast first, and then set off after breakfast." ”

As soon as he turned around, he almost bumped into Jian Meizi, who had just walked into the yard, he slowly raised his head and couldn't help but gasp, who is this! How high is like a dominatrix.

Jian Meizi ignored him, and stood directly behind Zhu Pei, so frightened that Cheng Yuanyuan's face changed slightly, although she guessed that this woman was Zhu Pei's guard, she was also a little too tall!

Like a thin maid cuckoo, her size is only the waist of a sword and plum, and she is so frightened that she hides in the house and does not dare to come out.

Since Cheng Ze was going to follow his sister to explore the water source, Fan Ning didn't want to go, there happened to be a transaction with the surname Wan today, and he just wanted to go shopping.

Fanning was folding the quilt in front of the bed, when Ju Pei walked to the door and whispered, "Dumb, I also want to explore the water source, can you accompany me?" ”

"What do you call me?" Fanning looked back suddenly.

"Call you dumb! Didn't I keep calling you dumb before? Juppey grinned.

Fan Ning hurriedly arched his hand, "Grandma, this time I sincerely ask you, I still forgot to call you an old man!" No one calls me this title anymore, even Su Liang doesn't know the degree, or save me some face, spread it, and be laughed at by the world. ”

Zhu Pei thought for a while and said, "Then you promise to accompany me to see the water source, and I promise not to call you dumb in front of them." ”

"You better call me Aning! My family calls me Aning. ”

Zhu Pei pursed her lips, she originally wanted to say that Ouyang Qian also called you Aning, but thinking that Fanning's parents also called him A-Ning, she decided that this A-Ning could not be used exclusively by Ouyang Qian.

"Alright! It's okay to call you Aning, then you must agree to accompany me to explore the water source. ”

Seeing that she was in a good mood, Fanning nodded and agreed.

"Since you want to go, I'll go with you."
