Fan Mingren took out a piece of Tian Huang Shi tightly wrapped in silk from the bag he carried, he opened the silk layer by layer, and finally revealed a volleyball-sized Tian Huang Stone, Fan Ning was attracted at once, this Tian Huang Stone is oval, dark yellow, at first glance it is the best frozen stone Tian Huang, but it is more delicate as fat, there is no radish texture on it, and there is no trace of cracks or flaws, it is simply the best of the best.

"The other two are the same as this one?" Fanning asked.

"It's a little smaller than this one, but the quality is the same, it's three pieces dug out in a nest, and there was originally a layer of stone shell on it, and after peeling off the stone, it was found to be precious."

Fanning groaned and said, "Give me all three!" ”

Akihito suddenly screamed, "You take all three pieces, you're too greedy!" ”

As soon as his words fell, Fan Tiege slapped him on the back of the head again, "What are you anxious about, listen to A-Ning finish speaking!" ”

Akihito covered his head and muttered, "I want to leave it to my children and grandchildren as family heirlooms, why not?" ”

Fan Ning shook his head and smiled: "I don't want your stone, I can't ask for it myself, this kind of superb Tianhuangshi is only suitable for carving seals, once Tianhuangshi is recognized by the world, these two Tianhuangshi treasures in your hands will become a hidden danger for future generations, and will be peeped at." ”

After all, Fan Tiege is old and understands the truth that civilians do not hold heavy treasures, so he hurriedly said to his son: "A Ning is right, this kind of Tianhuang Stone Supreme Treasure is not something we can have, but it is a disaster to hold it, you give it to A Ning, let the court carve it into a jade seal, but let it play a role." ”

Under the persuasion of Fanning and his father, Akihito had to agree, but he thought in his heart that if he was allowed to find this kind of Tianhuangshi treasure again, he would have to learn a lesson, and he must not let Fanning know about it again.

Fan Ning carefully wrapped Tian Huangshi with cloth and put it away, not knowing when there was a chance to turn it into a seal.

At this time, the door opened, and Su Liang walked in from the outside, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm late. ”

When Akihito saw Su Liang, the nature of the big horse monkey immediately burst out, he immediately jumped up, took Su Liang's hand and said with a smile: "Xiao Su, I heard that you already have a fiancée, why don't you bring it to see?" ”

Su Liang is most afraid of these twin brothers, although Mingli did not enter Beijing, but it is this Mingren who also makes his head big.

He glared at Fanning fiercely, needless to say, it must have been this kid who said it.

"I'm only twelve years old, how can I have a fiancée, don't listen to Fanning's nonsense."

"I'll be thirteen years old after the New Year, and at the age of thirteen, I should be able to marry a wife and enjoy the fun of a man, you don't have to be modest!"

"Akihito, don't talk nonsense!"

Although Fan Tiege was scolding his son, his eyes were full of smiles, could it be that Xiao Su was really going to get married?

Su Liang broke free of Mingren's hand and ignored him anymore, he sat down and said to Fan Ning: "I just heard the news that Fan Xiangguo has reactivated the return to the court, is it true?" ”

Fan Ning nodded, "I've also heard that Fengguan Wendian University Scholar and Rite Department Scholar." ”

When Fan Tiege heard that the third uncle had returned to the court as an official, he was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "What kind of official is the scholar of the Guanwen Palace and the scholar of the Ministry of Rites?" ”

Fan Ning said with a smile: "These two official positions are both high-ranking officials from the second rank, but they are both false positions, I estimate that the Son of Heaven will not let his cousin take charge of specific affairs for the time being, so as to stop the mouths of those who oppose it." ”

"Then has Fan Gong been promoted?" For ordinary people like Fan Tiege, he is most concerned about whether Fan Zhongyan has been promoted.

Fan Ning smiled and nodded, "My cousin grandfather was appointed as the governor of Dengzhou as a senior scholar of the Imperial Palace, and the senior scholar of the Imperial Palace was a third-grade scholar, and now he has been promoted to a scholar of the Guanwen Palace, which is a first-level promotion from the second rank. ”

In fact, Fan Ning was also very emotional in his heart, according to the trajectory of history, Fan Zhongyan should have been the governor of Hangzhou last year, and transferred to Qingzhou next year, and finally contracted the disease and died a year later.

But in the end, Fan Zhongyan was not transferred to Hangzhou, but was directly transferred back to the capital, which undoubtedly changed history and the trajectory of his life, so I wonder if he can make a difference in his twilight years?

．．．．．．．．

After Fan Zhongyan's new appointment was issued, Fan Zhongyan was going to hand over and set off for the east, and it would take at least February to go to the capital to take up his post, but the provincial examination of the imperial examination was imminent, and there were still two days before the imperial examination.

Early in the morning, Fan Ning, Su Liang and Li Dashou took an ox cart to the military camp outside Beicheng, which was the North Barracks, where 200,000 troops were stationed at the most, the barracks covered an area of nearly 10,000 acres, and more than 10,000 big tents were set.

The provincial examination of the second year of Huangyou will be held in this large military camp, nearly 100,000 scholars are divided into 20 examination rooms, because the military camp is too large, the first examination room and the last examination room are separated by more than 20 miles, when the scholars understand the situation of the examination room on the spot, they can arrange travel time according to their own examination room situation.

The ox cart came out of the new Fengqiu Gate, and it didn't take long to see the flag waving ten miles away, it seemed to be very lively, and the coachman smiled at the three people: "That is the Beida Camp, this imperial examination was held in the Beida Camp, and it was open to visit the day before yesterday, and today is the last day to visit, and I heard that the camp will be closed tonight." ”

"Were there a lot of people visiting in the first two days?"

"Why not much, there are tens of thousands of people every day, I have run seven times, which examination room are you? Maybe I know. ”

Fanning said: "There are two of us in the first examination room and one in the Ding examination room. ”

"Huh! There are three examination rooms in A, the first one is called the examination room of A Tong, the second and third examination rooms are called two and three respectively, and the examination room of Ding is in the middle, which seems to be very close, but in fact it is almost seven or eight miles apart. ”

"Why are there three A exam rooms?" Su Liang asked puzzled.

"Who knows! If you are taking the children's exam, it is estimated that it will be the first child A exam room. ”

Su Liang hurriedly took out the floating ticket, and then he noticed that he was really a child in the examination room, and the child characters were far away, and he always thought that he was the first examination room.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the first examination room, and Fanning said to Li Dashou: "When we are over, we will meet here, and we will see you or disperse!" ”

"Got it!"

Li Dashou agreed, and the carriage continued westward.

Fan Ning and Su Liang came to the entrance of the examination room and checked the floating ticket for the official at the door, and the official nodded and said, "You guys are here, go in and see for yourself!" Be careful not to miss anything to avoid unnecessary trouble. ”

A examination room is the children's examination room, as soon as you enter the door, you will see a big sign, which reads' special examination room for children's examination', this is just an examination room, the inside is open to Fan Ning and Su Liang for a while, there are at least hundreds of big tents in the camp, neatly arranged, and there is no end in sight.

Not only they were in the camp, but there were also many other candidates, most of whom were thirteen or fourteen years old, all of whom were candidates for the children's examination from all over the Great Song Dynasty.

This time, there were a total of 3,000 candidates for the children's examination, among which Kaifeng Mansion had the largest number, with more than 100 people, which was also to take care of the children of the powerful in the capital, such as Pang Gongsun, the grandson of Pang Gongsun, Zhang Chun, the grandson of Zhang Yaozuo, and so on.

They basically don't have to take the solution test, as long as they get the recommended places of Taixue, Guozixue and Hongwenguan, they can directly participate in the provincial examination, these powerful children occupy most of the places, and the remaining ten or twenty places are fought for by the majority of ordinary people.

Fanning is two thousand seven hundred and eighty-six, and Su Liang is two thousand one hundred and ninety-nine, and the two are not far apart, but they should go behind the camp.

"Here!"

Su Liang finally saw the sign in front of the big tent, No. 2,180 to No. 2,199.

"Fanning, I've found my exam account!"

Half of the big tent was opened, and twenty tables were neatly placed inside, but the exam number on the table had not yet been numbered, which was to prevent candidates from knowing where they were sitting in advance, so as not to hide cheating information, anyway, as long as they found the exam account, the rest would be much easier.

Fan Ning also found his exam account, and there were also twenty tables in it, he remembered the general direction, turned around and was about to leave, maybe it was really a narrow road, only to see Liu Ran and two candidates coming head-on.

"I'm here for the exam!"

Liu Ran pointed to the big tent behind Fan Ning and shouted excitedly: "I found it, right here!" ”

As soon as he looked up and saw Fanning, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Since the last time Zhu Pei went to Liu's house to pay a visit, the relationship between Liu Ran and Fan Ning has become a little delicate, at least Liu Ran's mentality has changed, and his attitude towards Fan Ning has become hostile.

"Yo! What a coincidence! ”

Fan Ning smiled: "Brother Liu is actually in the same account with me. ”

Liu Ran's face was ugly, and he barely squeezed out a smile, "What is Brother Fan Xian's exam number?" ”

"I'm number two thousand seven hundred and eighty-six, where is Brother Liu?"

"I'm two thousand seven hundred and eighty, our seats should be very close, Brother Fan Xian is bound to win this time, right?" Liu Ran asked sourly.

"Where is it possible to get it, I haven't reviewed well at all, I don't know what to take? But Brother Liu is very confident! ”

"Each other! Each other! I'm very flustered, I'm afraid I'm going to lose my name this time. ”

The two hypocritically spoke to each other modestly, as politely as if the negotiators of the two countries had met.
