The carriage slowed down after driving out of the street, and Zhu Pei's anger calmed down a little.

"You have to tell me why someone is watching you?"

This question has always been lingering in Zhu Pei's mind. He thought about it day and night, and he was almost sick. After finally seeing Fanning, she was so anxious that she asked Fanning.

Fanning didn't want to tell Zhu Pei the truth so as not to worry too much, but after thinking about it, Fanning still felt that it should be the truth.

"Someone monitored me, but not targeted me, but my grandfather Fan Zhongyan. It is now rumored that the emperor intends to call him back to the court, so the opponents in the court are trying hard to obstruct me. Perhaps they suspect that I am the messenger of my grandfather, so they monitor me and understand who I have contact with?"

Zhu Pei then understood the whole story, and she asked worriedly: "Will there be any danger?"

Fan Ning shook his head, "They shouldn't be that stupid. I am a tribute scholar from Pingjiang Prefecture. If something happens to me, things will be big and will involve many people. Besides, I don't threaten them. I guess I'm just monitoring them, and they won't do anything else."

"You should not be careless. The capital is not like Pingjiang Prefecture. The water here is too deep and involves various interests. Various things happen every year in the imperial examination. I think you should be careful."

Fanning nodded. At this time, he thought of something and smiled and said, "Do you know about Tian Huangshi?"

"Of course I know!"

Zhu Pei smiled and said, "Your second uncle has written to me, I am the second owner of the strange stone museum!"

Three black lines appeared on Fanning's forehead. Uncle Er never wrote to tell him about the business situation of the strange stone museum. He was willing to write to Zhu Pei?

"Since you know, I won't say much. Mingren and Mingli have set off for Fuzhou."

Before Fan Ning finished speaking, Zhu Pei said proudly: "It seems that your news is not as good as mine. Those two guys have purchased more than 3,000 pieces of Tianhuangshi, bought 1,500 acres of land, and are hiring people to build houses. The first batch of Tianhuangshi they purchased has set off for North Transportation, and it is estimated that they have arrived in Pingjiang Prefecture now."

Fan Ning was speechless. Who is the owner of the Stone Museum? Is it my own decision to acquire Tian Huangshi? Everyone knows it, but he doesn't know anything.

Seeing Fanning's expression was shocked and annoyed, Zhu Pei couldn't help but feel funny, so he comforted him and said, "Don't blame Uncle Fan Er, doesn't he know your address?"

"Forget it, you're idle anyway, so I'll leave this matter to you."

"What do you mean to leave it to me?"

Fan Ning's words made Zhu Pei very dissatisfied, "I have been in charge of the Qishi Museum in the past two years. Uncle Fan Er will write a letter to report to me every two months.

Also, I found the shop in the Beijing Stone Museum. The shop will be officially delivered to us after the New Year next year. Then Uncle Fan Er came to take care of it in early February and was about to open a store. Who do you think is doing these things?"

Only then did Fanning realize that his second uncle was making money for him. He clearly told himself that it was his friend who was helping him find a shop. It turned out that it was Zhu Pei who was looking for a shop. Fanning suddenly realized that Zhu Pei's intervention in the strange stone museum was probably much deeper than he thought.

In contrast, I am the boss who is the boss, and I don’t care about anything and don’t want to ask.

But then again, with the help of the Zhu family in Beijing, its own "Tianhuangshi Plan" may be easier to open up the situation.

After figuring this out, Fan Ning felt a hint of grudge in his heart. He asked with a smile: "How deeply do you know about Tian Huangshi?"

"I want to ask you? What exactly does Tian Huangshi look like? You actually bet heavily on them?" Zhu Pei asked curiously.

Fan Ning smiled and said, "Su Liang bought a few Tianhuangshi at Daxiangguo Temple two days ago. I took one to give it to you today. When I met your mother just now, I gave it to your brother Zhu Zhe. Thank him for the statue for me."

At this time, Zhu Pei's carriage had arrived at the entrance of the alley where Fanning lived and slowly stopped.

"Anning, I'm going to class this afternoon. I don't have time. I'll take you to see the store in two days. You can concentrate on reviewing these days and don't run around anymore."

Fanning agreed with a smile. He jumped out of the carriage and waved to Ju Pei. The carriage started and ran westward, and soon drove away.

In the carriage, Jian Meizi, who had been silent all the time, suddenly asked, "Ape, why don't you ask him about Miss Ouyang?"

"Sister Jian, I can't ask about some things. I know what I want to tell me. He will naturally say that if he doesn't want to say it, it doesn't make sense for me to ask."

Jian Meizi snorted coldly, "Eat the bowl and look at the pot, there is no good thing for the man. If he dares to let you down, I will kill him with one sword."

Zhu Pei's face was flushed with shame, and he pulled Jian Meizi's arm and shook it around, "Sister Jian, where are you thinking? He and I just opened a store to do business together, and there is no other relationship."

Jian Meizi gave her a blank look.

The news that Zhu Pei left in a carriage was told by the housekeeper in time that her mother Wang was immediately furious. She said with a blue face: "When the dead girl comes back, bring her to see me immediately!"

Wang was spinning back and forth in the inner hall with his hands behind his back. The stupidity of the eldest son had already made her exhausted. Now her daughter doesn't let her worry. When will her children have to torment themselves?

She also complained about Zhu Pei's grandfather in her heart. She was obedient to her since she was a child and spoiled her. How could the young lady dressed up in men's clothes and went to school to study all day long? My grandfather actually agreed to such a ridiculous thing.

At this time, a maid came to report that the young lady had already returned, at the Great Yanei.

Wang breathed a little relieved. Fortunately, Fan Ning was probably quite sensible and did not take Zhu Pei to play around.

In fact, Wang also has a good impression of Fan Ning. She just doesn't want the two of them to hang out together all day, which will cause some gossip and be unfavorable to her daughter's reputation.

Wang calmed down her emotions, and she decided to discuss this with her husband in advance and then talk to her daughter.

In Zhu Zhe's room in the back house, Zhu Zhe, who was fat and slim and played with Tian Huangshi brought by his maid curiously. The maid didn't tell him what this thing could do, but he still thought it was an egg and was beating at the table.

‘Bang!Bang!Bang!’

Zhu Zhe hit the yolk egg hard, and the table was about to be broken.

"Da Dai Dai Dai! What are you doing?"

Zhu Pei walked in quickly, held his hand, pointed to the wood chips on the table and said, "You broke the table!"

Zhu Zhe was stunned with the stone egg in his arms. What exactly is this?

"Show me first?"

Zhu Pei reached out his little hand in front of him, and Zhu Zhe glanced at his sister blankly and put the stone egg in her hand.

Zhu Pei looked at the Tianhuang stone carefully and was immediately attracted. She couldn't help but exclaim: "There is such a delicate and delicate stone. No wonder that guy is determined to make it bigger, and he really has the eyesight."

Seeing her brother tilting his head and staring at the stone with curiosity, Zhu Pei pointed to the small stone statue next to him, picked up his carving knife and gestured on the stone twice, and said with a smile: "Do you know the carved doll?"

Zhu Zhe's eyes slowly lit up, and he finally understood what his sister meant.

He took the stone and began to look at the Tianhuang stone with the eyes of the carving master.

In fact, Zhu Zhe carved stone statues with Shoushan stone. Tianhuangshi itself is a branch of Shoushan stone. However, this Tianhuangshi is too much like a goose egg, which made him misunderstand for a moment.

At this time, Zhu Pei suddenly thought of a painting and immediately ran back to her yard, found the picture of the stream and mountain travel, and ran back again. She put the picture of the stream and mountain travel in front of her brother, pointed to Tian Huangshi, and pointed to the painting.

"Carn the drawing on the stone egg!"

Zhu Zhe listened to his sister very much. He put down the stone and began to ponder the painting carefully. Zhu Pei did not disturb him and left quietly. She knew that it would take at least a day for her brother to figure out a painting, just like an old monk sitting down. Except for eating and sleeping, his whole spirit was devoted to the painting.

Zhu Xiaoyun returned home at dusk. He served as the judge of the Judicial Officer's Court. The Judicial Officer's Court is mainly responsible for judging the examination and appraisal of middle and lower-level civil servants. In the sixth year of Taiping Xingguo, he also placed an order to set up a dispatch institute in the Judicial Officer's Court, responsible for Shaoqing, supervising the examination and appraisal of the dispatch matters.

Zhu Xiaoyun was responsible for the review and seized the last pass for the official exam and dispatch. Although his official rank was not high and he was only the sixth rank, he had great real power, and many high-ranking officials had to curry favor with him.

Zhu Xiaoyun is Zhu Yuanfu's second son. He is very pretty and has fair skin. Between his eyebrows and eyes, Zhu Pei looks a bit like his father.

Zhu Xiaoyun went back to her room and took off her coat, smiled at her wife, "I recently ordered more than 100 people to be approved by the dispatch hospital, and I have to review each of them. I am really tired. Fortunately, I finally finished the approval today and I can have a good rest in the next two days."
