Many things happened to the Fan family in the past two years. The first major event was that Fan Zhongyan died of illness. After being sick last winter, he was still seriously ill. Zhao Zhen sent an imperial physician to Pingjiang Prefecture for several months, but it still could not support it. He died in his hometown in May last year, and his funeral was handled very grandly. Emperor Zhao Zhen personally wrote the "Monument to Praise the Wizard of the Virtue" and was given to the Minister of War, posthumously titled Wen Zheng, and was posthumously named Duke of Chu.

Secondly, his father's concubine, Aixiang, gave birth to a son the autumn of the previous year, named Fan Mingxiao by his grandfather. The Fan family has Mingren and Mingli, and the fourth uncle's son is called Fan Mingyi. Now all etiquette, benevolence and filial piety are all there.

Mingli's son is the first male of the third generation of the Fan family. Mingli gave his son a nickname Kun'er because he was born in Kunzhou.

After walking dozens of steps, Fan Ning came to the strange stone museum. The strange stone museum had little change from the two years ago. The strange stone museum is not a restaurant or a consumer store such as inns. It does not require opening a branch in the same city. It usually buys a mine and then opens a branch in the mineral area. In addition to the main store of the Beijing City, Fan's strange stone museum opened four branches in Wuxian, Suzhou Lingbi County, Fuzhou Min County, Dengzhou Nanyang County and other places, corresponding to Taihu Stone, Lingbi Stone, Shoushan Stone, Tianhuang Stone and Nanyang Jade. These four stores are mainly acquisitions, and the real sales are concentrated in the capital.

After Fan Tiege's nearly eight years of hard work, the Shizhen Stone Hall has become the largest brand in the capital. Whenever the powerful and wealthy businessmen and celebrities in the capital want to buy strange stones, they will first think of the Shizhen Stone Hall.

Fan Ning walked into the store and saw at a glance that Fan Tiege, the second uncle who was introducing Shoushan Stone to the customers. Fan Tiege basically had no changes two years ago and was still as fat as a big winter melon.

Feeling that someone entered the store, Fan Tiego instinctively glanced at him and found that it was Fan Ning. He was surprised and happy and quickly asked the client to continue to receive the guests. He greeted him with a smile on his face, "Aning, when will he be back?"

"Second uncle, I just got off the boat."

"Let's go! Let's sit inside."

Fan Tiego pulled Fanning and went inside. Fanning found that there were actually several more yards inside, which were much larger. He couldn't help but be stunned.

Fan Tiege said proudly: "The houses of the two families in the latter are bought, with a total of five acres of land, and a total of 12,000 guan and 2,400 guan per acre, so it's cheap!"

Fan Ning was surprised that it would be fine if the house he bought in the outer city was cheap, but this is Daxiangguo Temple! Such a good location is only 2,400 jin per acre, which is simply too cheap.

"Uncle II, what's going on?"

Fan Tiege smiled, "These two families are ordinary people, and the houses are worthless mud and thatched houses. They are in the alleys, so the price is inconvenient, so the price cannot be increased, but it will be different after we bought it. After demolishing and rebuilding, it will be turned into a warehouse and a dormitory. Your second aunt and I have moved here, so it is convenient to see the store at night."

Fan Tiege used the money earned by his two sons a few years ago to buy a small house in the inner city for them to each of them. Last year, the Stone Museum distributed dividends for the first time, with a cumulative profit of 80,000 guan. He received a dividend of 15,000 guan.

Through Zhu Yuanfeng's connection, he bought a house covering an area of ​​five acres in the outer city.

Although there are three houses in the capital, they are far away from the Stone Museum, and it is more difficult to run back and forth. After buying the private houses behind the Stone Museum, he lived here directly.

Fan Ning was a little surprised, "Second Aunt is here too?"

"Here! I'm probably cooking at this time."

Fan Tiego looked back strangely again, "Didn't those two brats come back with you?"

"Mingli is still in Kunzhou for the time being. He is reluctant to leave it there and will stay for a while. However, Mingli and I came back and he went to Pingjiang Mansion."

"Then did he bring Amber Wood back?" Fan Tiego asked nervously.

Seeing that the second uncle didn't seem to care that Mingli stayed in Kunzhou, Fan Ning breathed a sigh of relief and smiled and said, "He brought two thousand amber woods and brought them with the official boat in two days. The Zhu family, Cao family and Gao family also brought a lot of amber woods. Is amber wood very popular now?"

Fan Tiege nodded, "Now, powerful and wealthy families are very popular with amber wood to make furniture. If there are elderly people at home, they will also use amber wood to treat longevity materials. A pair of longevity materials requires at least seven or eight amber wood. Our store was out of stock last month. The order was received by more than 100 pieces, but there was no material. I was so anxious that I was so anxious."

"Then wait for another three or four days. If two thousand are not enough, I will come over two or three thousand from the Zhu family. It will not be a big problem."

"Of course, the more the better. I will eat as much as you can."

At this time, the second aunt Yu walked in with tea, "Aning, haven't my two families come back with you?"

"Second Aunt, Mingli is going to be some time later, Mingren is back and goes to Pingjiang Mansion."

"Will Akihito go back?"

Second Aunt obviously asked a lot and asked in detail. Fan Ning shook his head, "He won't go back to Kunzhou, he is going to open a business in Quanzhou."

"What are you going to Quanzhou again?"

Second aunt was a little dissatisfied, "Is it not good to come to Beijing? There are more opportunities."

Fan Tiege smiled and said, "You don't understand. Quanzhou is the number one harbor in the Song Dynasty. It has a lot of business opportunities and a lot of wealth. I don't want them to go back to the capital. Once I come back, I have to go to speculate on salt tea attractions. That thing will kill them."

"What do you, Old Jiang, know? Both sons are twenty-three years old. Do they want to marry and have children and pass on your family line?"

Fan Ning sighed in his heart and could only say, "Don't argue with the second uncle and second aunt for now. I want to tell you something big."

"What's the matter?" Fan Tiego and his wife asked in unison.

"It's about Mingli..."

Still the woman was sensitive, the second aunt Yu immediately responded: "Can it be Mingli who hid it from us to marry a wife in Kunzhou?"

Fan Ning smiled bitterly, how could the second aunt react so quickly, and he hurriedly said, "It's not that you marry a wife, but that Mingli took a concubine in Kunzhou."

Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Taking a concubine was not a big problem, and it was not enough to marry a wife. Those two children were twenty-three years old, and women were probably indispensable around them. Instead of doing anything outside, it would be better to find a stable woman.

Fan Tiego frowned, "Are they qualified to take concubines?"

"Yes! They all have the honorary officials of the Feiqiwei. The Kunzhou government commended them to take the lead in discovering the golden field and applying to the court."

Yu said anxiously: "You old man, what are you doing in these trivial matters? Aning, what is the other party's origin?"

"Second Aunt, the other party is an innocent family, but... it is a Japanese woman, only seventeen years old."

Fanning did not dare to mention the child's matter for now. He had to wait until they accepted the Japanese concubine before he could slowly say the key points.

"Japanese woman!"

Yu frowned. She felt a little unwilling. Can women from other countries get along well?

Fan Ning quickly explained: "The other party speaks Chinese very well, and he can't tell that he is a Japanese woman. He is very good-looking and virtuous, and his living habits are the same as ours. Besides, if Mingli wants to marry an immigrant woman from Kunzhou, he will not be able to return to the Song Dynasty according to the regulations."

Yu Shi smiled and said, "I am not prejudiced, I am just worried that I am not used to it in all aspects. If a young lady like Aya, I will like it."

Fan Ning rolled his eyes. Second aunt couldn't have fallen in love with Aya!

Fan Ning smiled and said, "Second Auntie may not know, but Aya is also a Japanese lady."

Yu Shi was surprised, "No! Aya is a Japanese lady? I don't think she looks like her!"

"Didn't I tell my second aunt? I can't tell you about it. The Japanese lady married by Mingli is in line with language and has the same living habits. She is virtuous and gentle, and can have a son. Isn't this a good wife?"

"Wait a minute!"

Fan Tiege was extremely smart and suddenly heard the hint in Fanning's words. He asked: "What does it mean to have a son? Could it be..."

Yu also reacted and stared at Fan Ning with bright eyes, "Aning, what does Aning mean?"

Fan Ning was so nervous that she was stared at by the sharp eyes of the old couple. She laughed dryly: "I was about to say, congratulations to the two elders, happy grandson!"

"What!"

The two shouted at the same time, but their tones were very different. Fan Tiege was furious, while Yu was surprised.

Fan Ning said helplessly: "Uncle, I have brought both mother and son back, and I'm with Zhu Pei! Do you want to meet?"

"not see!"

Fan Tiege refused, but Yu jumped up and cursed: "You old man, we have grandson, why are you still pretending to be an air? Didn't you give birth to your son? You don't want me."

Fan Tiege knew in his heart that it must be the concubine who had taken the favor after his son, which made him think of his youth. This kind of thing happened to his son again, so how could he not be angry?

Yu didn't care. She had been waiting for her grandson for many years, and finally she had hoped for it. As long as it was her own seed, she wouldn't care whether the other party was a Japanese woman.

She was anxious and pulled Fan Ning and said, "Aning, take your second aunt to see your grandson."

Fan Ning looked at his second uncle with a little embarrassed, Yu Shi raised her eyebrows and stared at her husband and cursed: "Old man, are you going to see your grandson?"

Fan Tiege snorted, "Go and go, and say ugly things first. If you don't look like our Fan family, I won't recognize this grandson."

Yu Shi curled her lips disdainfully, "If my grandson had a dumpling face like you, I would rather not."
