Of course, Zhang Sanniang fully supports her son to buy a house in the capital, she is already satisfied with her current life, for her, the more than 10,000 yuan is the money left to her son, she is just temporarily keeping it for her son.

So when Zhang Sanniang heard her son say that she wanted to buy a house in the capital, she did not hesitate to take out two deposit tickets from Zhu's money shop.

"This is a deposit ticket of 10,000 yuan, the first one given to me, this is a deposit ticket of 4,000 yuan, and later I was given, there was originally a deposit ticket of 2,000 yuan, which was used by your father to buy land."

Zhang Sanniang sighed, took out half a jade pendant and handed it to her son, "With this half of the jade pendant, you can withdraw money, you take all the money and buy a better house." ”

Fan Ning returned the deposit ticket of 10,000 yuan to his mother, and said with a smile: "Four thousand yuan is enough, and this 10,000 yuan is collected by the mother, and it is regarded as the mother's private money." ”

Zhang Sanniang stretched out her hand and knocked on her son's head, "You little ghost, how can you speak?" What is called the mother's private money, you don't need it for the time being, the mother will save it for you, and when you marry your daughter-in-law, I will use this money to give you a beautiful marriage. ”

"Mother, I really don't need it, you just take it! If you have a sum of money in your hand, you can also be reassured. ”

Fanning took out a few land deeds from his bosom and handed them to his mother, "This is 500 acres of upper land, which has been listed in my name and can be tax-free, and these lands are considered to be filial to my mother." ”

Zhang Sanniang happily took the title deed, this is the reward for her son's entrance examination, and her son is filial to herself, how can she not want it.

"I want this, and I will leave it to my mother for the elderly in the future."

At this time, Zhang Sanniang remembered something again, and hurriedly said: "Early this morning, Old Man Zhu sent an invitation card to invite you over for a light meal." ”

Fan Ning was stunned, "Go to Wujiang?" ”

"It doesn't seem to be, it's in the town of Mudu!"

Fan Ning was immediately overjoyed, Old Man Zhu came to Mu Block, this is great, I don't have to go to Wujiang again.

"Why don't you go now! See if there's anything you need to help someone with. ”

Zhang Sanniang is now very enthusiastic about Old Man Zhu's affairs, you must know that Zhu Pei is the granddaughter of Old Man Zhu, it is possible that Zhu Pei will become her daughter-in-law, how can she not be enthusiastic.

"Mother! Mr. Zhu doesn't need my help with anything, but I can go and see him now. ”

Seeing that it was still early, Fan Ning took a boat to Mudu Town to visit Zhu Yuanfu, who lived in the town.

Zhu Yuanfu's big mansion in Mudu Town is not deserted, and there is a well-dressed tomb of his mother at the foot of Lingyan Mountain, and he will come over from time to time to pay respects.

Hearing that Fan Ning came to visit, Zhu Yuanfu personally came to the gate to greet him.

"Congratulations to Fan Shaolang for the fourth place in the high school jinshi!"

Fan Ning hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "If it weren't for the old man's care for many years, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to participate in the imperial examination, and the younger generation should thank the old man for his love for many years." ”

Zhu Yuanfu was very relieved when he heard Fan Ning's gratitude to him, and said with a smile: "You still have to rely on yourself, if you don't work hard, no one can help you." ”

"The time and place are right, all of them are indispensable, and the old man is my people."

Zhu Yuanfu laughed and patted Fan Ning on the shoulder, "Go!" Let's go to the warehouse first. ”

The warehouse that Zhu Yuanfu said is the warehouse of Tian Huangshi, currently borrowing Zhu Yuanfu's strange stone library, the warehouse is located in the northeast corner of the mansion, there is an iron door outside can directly enter the mansion, the door leading to the warehouse in the mansion is locked all the year round, in fact, it is a warehouse directly to the outside.

Zhu Yuanfu's strange stone warehouse is mainly used to place the Taihu Lake stone he has collected for many years, since he moved back to Wujiang County, most of the treasured Taihu stone has also been moved, and only a small number of high-grade Taihu stone is left here.

The huge warehouse was empty, so when he heard that he was going to find a warehouse for Tian Huangshi in Mudu Town, he thought of his strange stone warehouse.

Zhu Yuanfu's strange stone vault is stronger and tighter than the money vault, and the whole warehouse is built of large bluestone, and there are no windows around it, which looks dark and damp.

This is also the requirement of the strange stone library, most of the ornamental stones like a dark and damp environment, like the Taihu Lake stone, which has been underwater for millions of years, especially avoid light and dryness.

Even the shelves in the warehouse are made of long stones, and Fan Ning followed Zhu Yuanfu into the warehouse, where the long stone shelves are filled with large and small water tanks.

The water tank was filled with all kinds of Tianhuang stones, all soaked in clean water, and Fanning roughly estimated that there were at least tens of thousands of Tianhuang stones in the warehouse.

Especially in the corner of the warehouse, Fanning saw a shocking scene, dozens of Tianhuangshi the size of a water tank were stacked together, this is what Akihito told him that the nest of Tianhuangshi found in the mine, there were a total of forty-three.

"A-Ning, you have this piece of Tianhuangshi!"

Unconsciously, Zhu Yuanfu resumed his name for Fan Ning again, and it still seemed a little estranged to call Fan Shaolang, so he simply called Fan Ning by his nickname like Master Liu.

"What's so special about it?"

Fan Ning took this piece of Tianhuangshi from Zhu Yuanfu's hand, Tianhuangshi was the size of a fist, shaped like a potato, and the texture was not clear because the light was too dark.

"This is given to me by Akihito, there is no radish pattern in it, it is as pure as honey without impurities, it is the best Tianhuang stone they have ever seen, this Tianhuang stone gave it to your cousin for me."

Fan Ning knew that his grandfather had given the Son of Heaven the last piece of the Xishan Travel Stone, and he had always been a little disappointed in his heart, and he was also considering giving him another one.

This piece of Tianhuangshi came at the right time, and Fan Ning hurriedly thanked, "Thank you for your concern." ”

Zhu Yuanfu smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go!" I just happened to have something I wanted to talk to you about. ”

The two left the warehouse and went to the back hall, where a maid served them tea.

Zhu Yuanfu took a sip of tea and said: "Your second uncle came to me before entering the capital, he went to Fuzhou before, and had some new ideas, he wanted to expand the scope and do the business of Shoushan Stone, I wonder if he told you about it?" ”

Fan Ning shook his head, "It is estimated that the store is too busy to open the store, and he doesn't have time to tell me about it, but the expansion to Shoushan Stone is not too big." ”

Fan Ning knows that Tian Huangshi is actually a kind of Shoushan stone, which is a treasure of Shoushan stone, but there are many varieties of Shoushan stone, which was used to carve a large number of Buddha statues in the Wei and Jin dynasties, and the stone that Zhu Zhe usually used to carve is also Shoushan stone.

Therefore, the second uncle wanted to expand the business of Shoushan Stone, and Fan Ning felt that the value was not very large.

"Look at this stone!"

Zhu Yuanfu handed another stone to Fan Ning, the stone was not big, it was as big as the tea cup on the table, milky white, like frozen milk, this was a frozen stone.

But what is different is that the stone is covered with vermilion dots, like patches of peach petals sticking to the stone.

"It's ..... Peach Blossom Jelly Stone! Fanning suddenly remembered the name.

"That's right! It is this name, called Taohuashou Mountain Stone, which was brought back by your second uncle, who lived in Guangying Temple, and there are many such stones in the temple. ”

Zhu Yuanfu asked Fan Ning with a smile again, "Don't you think this kind of stone carved out is very collectible?" ”

Fan Ning shook his head, "Compared to Tian Huangshi, it's still far behind." ”

"Of course, it can't be compared with Tian Huangshi, Tian Huangshi is a treasure in the stone, the value is expensive, ordinary literati can't afford it, your second uncle's meaning, you have to consider the needs of ordinary literati."

Fanning understood a little, "My second uncle wants to make a low-grade ornamental stone at the same time?" ”

"Use mid-range Shoushan stone to set off the preciousness of Tianhuang stone."

Fan Ning smiled slightly, praised: "This idea is not bad, he knows that there are many Shoushan stones have high ornamental value, such as the peach blossom frozen stone in his hand, as well as the hibiscus frozen stone, chicken blood frozen stone, sky blue frozen stone, fish brain frozen stone, etc., these stones are also extremely beautiful, second only to Tianhuang frozen stone, if these stones are developed, the value is very high, then it will set off the king of stones, the preciousness of Tianhuang frozen stone." ”

Thinking of this, Fan Ning nodded happily, "Since the second uncle wants to do it, I have no opinion, but in this case, we must expand our investment in the Shoushan area." ”

Zhu Yuanfu nodded, "I also think your second uncle's idea is very good, but you have to be mentally prepared, once you do the business of Dashou Mountain Stone, I estimate that the Strange Stone Pavilion will not consider profit distribution within five years." ”

Fan Ning smiled bitterly, he also planned to buy a house with a few thousand taels of silver from the Strange Stone Pavilion, but this plan fell through.

Zhu Yuanfu saw that Fan Ning was a little lost in his eyes, so he smiled slightly: "For the magnates in the capital, the money earned by the Strange Stone Pavilion is only a small money, and the real big money is something you can't imagine, and that is also the foundation of the Zhu family's fortune." ”

"What's that?" Fanning asked curiously.

Zhu Yuanfu smiled and said: "I won't say it now, when you go back to the capital, you go to Pei'er's third grandfather, just say that I arranged it, let him take you to do it once, and you will understand." ”

．．．．．．．．．

In the next few days, Fan Ning went to Changzhou County to visit Zhao Xiuwen, the governor of Dong Prefecture and the school administrator of Pingjiang Mansion, and attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the expansion of Yanying School at the invitation of Master Liu.

Later, under the leadership of his father, he visited the Fan family and offered incense to the ancestors in the family temple.

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was time for Fanning to set off for the north again.

Fanning's departure place is still Mudu Town, he still takes the clipper boat when he came, they had agreed before, after the clipper made a ticket to Hangzhou, he rushed back, just in time to pick up Fanning, who was about to return north.

Zhang Sanniang also rushed to Mudu, and her husband Fan Tiezhou sent her son north, although she was used to her son's parting to study, but this time was different, I don't know when I can get together with my son again, Zhang Sanniang's heart is full of reluctance.

"Mother, when the child buys a house in the capital, you take Ado to the capital for the New Year, anyway, it's a boat, and the road is not hard."

"I really want to go, I haven't been to the capital in my life! I wonder if your dad has time? ”

Zhang Sanniang glanced at her husband and hoped that her husband would make a statement.

Fan Tiezhou thought for a while and said: "Actually, it doesn't hurt for me to go for ten days and half a month, leave a little more medicine, and the doctors in the store can deal with some minor problems." ”

Zhang Sanniang was immediately overjoyed, if the whole family could celebrate the New Year in the capital, it would be great.

Fan Ning also smiled: "Then it is preliminarily decided, and when the time comes, I will ask Li Dashou's father to arrange a boat, and their family has a special passenger ship to the capital." ”

"You don't have to worry about it."

Fan Tiezhou said with a smile: "We will arrange this matter of entering Beijing ourselves, you don't have to worry about it, you study hard by yourself, you can't relax yourself just because you are admitted to the Jinshi, in short, your mother and I hope to hear better news from you." ”

Fanning nodded, "Don't worry, Daddy, I know it in my heart!" ”

Zhang Sanniang hugged her son tightly, which allowed him to get on the boat, and at this time, the master of Liu Courtyard and the squires of Mudu Town came to the dock to see him off.

Fanning stood at the bow of the boat and waved goodbye to everyone, and the boat left the dock and headed for the Xu River, gradually disappearing into the distance.

In April of the second year of Huangyou, Fanning once again left his hometown and entered Beijing and began his official journey.
