Fan Ning couldn't smile bitterly. No wonder Uncle Er looked so apologetic, but he was only nine years old, so what's the point of a blind date?

Fan Ning smiled and said, "Since you are here, it's okay to see!"

Fan Mingli hugged his shoulders and looked at him with a look of contempt and said, "Brother, don't think too much. It's useless for you to fall in love with others. The key is that they want to fall in love with you."

Fan Mingren also hugged Fan Ning's shoulder and said with a smile: "That little girl in Wu's family looks so good, but unfortunately she belongs to a tiger!"

Fan Ning laughed silently and said, "How old is that little girl? You can actually see that she is the year of the tiger?"

"Hey! You will know after reading it. Will we delay your lifelong affairs?"

Fan Ning thought of the second uncle's plea and felt a little hesitant, "But... will it affect your store?"

The two brothers looked at each other, and their eyes showed pity. Akihito shook his head and said, "If you are willing to feed the tiger with your body and save the shop, we can also help you."

Fanning didn't mean that. He probably couldn't explain it clearly, so he quickly denied it completely, "I'll listen to you and just eat."

At this time, Fan Tiego called them on the steps, "You three, come in quickly!"

The three of them hurriedly followed Fan Tiege into Wu's house.

The owner of this house, Wu Yuanwai and Fan Tiege, were classmates in the same school. When Fan Tiege failed to pass the imperial examination in the county, he stayed in Wu County and worked as a partner in the restaurant run by Wu Lao Yuanwai's house.

Thirteen years ago, Fan Tiege rented a small store with his own savings and opened his own store. After working hard for more than ten years, his store became a two-story grocery store.

During this period, he started a family and had children. In his hometown Jiangwan Village, Fan Tiege also became a successful person that everyone admired.

But life is like dressing, you know the warmth and coldness. Fan Tiego's grocery store is small and profitable, but he has to support his family and support his two sons to study. The pressure of life can be imagined.

Behind the glamorousness is actually a man who is always facing huge pressure from a bankruptcy crisis.

The emergence of Chai's grocery store finally caused the survival crisis of Fan Tiego's store to be detonated.

In order to get rid of the fate of bankruptcy, Fan Tiege had to come and ask for his former classmates.

Just as Wu Yuanwai was about to open a new restaurant in Wujiang County, he needed to purchase a batch of pots and pans.

Seeing that Wu Yuanwai agreed to help him this time, he also offered a condition to ask Fan Tiege to take his nephew Fanning to have a meal at home.

For the Song Dynasty, the imperial examination system was not only a mechanism for selecting reserve officials, but also a training base for the golden son-in-law of the Song Dynasty. The Jinshi produced in each imperial examination was like a freshly released cooked cake, and was always snatched by powerful and wealthy families.

Other middle-level officials in the capital, or huge businessmen who are determined to improve their political status, of course, want to become a blind date for Jinshi.

It’s a pity that there are too many monks and there is little porridge, so they can’t get the ticket to If You Are the One.

But there is no If You Are the One, there is also a passionate love in the same city, and there is also a lot of love to watch.

Like local wealthy families, they will turn their attention to the top few states in the trial, and intercept future Jinshi in advance.

Of course, the risks are also high. The top few states in the exam may not be able to pass the Jinshi exam. Finally, they caught a golden turtle, but in the end they found that it was a gold-plated turtle.

I paid for my daughter and dowry in vain.

Under the guidance of this social atmosphere where everything is inferior and only has a high study experience, even if you can pass the exam, the matchmaker who comes to ask for marriage will break the threshold.

Although the juren in the Song Dynasty could not be an official, if the examination of the juren, the social status would naturally be greatly improved. He could go to a good school to be a teacher, or to an official as a civil servant, and wealthy families rushed to hire him and lived in the countryside, and he became a gentry.

The county scholar selection competition in Wu County is well-known throughout the country. Over the past fifteen years, three young prodigy who were granted the same Jinshi have been produced.

The county scholarship selection competition attracted high attention from the locals at the beginning. Although the competition has not ended yet, Fanning's dazzling performance in the selection competition has attracted the attention of many wealthy families in Wuxian.

The Wu family is one of them.

Fan Tiege walked to the central hall with three children. A fat white man in his thirties smiled and greeted him. He wore a dark blue shining dress, a white silk head with a head, and a leather belt around his waist. The leather belt was covered with various jade gadgets.

"The wine and food are ready, just waiting for your iron pot to cook!"

The two of them laughed and hugged each other heavily. Fan Tiezhou pointed at his two sons and said with a smile: "These are my two dogs, come with me to have a meal."

Mingren and Mingli hurried forward to salute, "See Uncle Shi!"

"Haha! I really can't tell who is Akihito and who is Mingli?"

Having said that, Mr. Wu's eyes were always staring at Fan Ning behind him.

"This one is......"

"This is my nephew Fanning!"

Fan Tiego pulled Fan Ning forward and introduced him: "This is Mr. Wu, my classmate and friend when I was studying in school."

Fan Ning bowed with fists, "I've caused trouble for Mr. Wu."

"Fan Shaolang is so polite, please come with me!"

Akihito whispered in Fanning's ear, "The following is the first part of the investigation. You will accidentally find that there is silver around you, which is within your reach. First, you will remind you that it is not silver, but white copper dressed like silver."

"How do you know?" Fanning asked with a smile.

"You are the ninth blind date, this is the summary of the blood and tears of the first eight people."

Fanning smiled and said, "Can you brothers be one of the top eight?"

Mingli next to him pressed his chest and looked painfully like he was injured by an arrow, "It hurts so much, so sad. Good intentions will not be rewarded! Second brother, don't remind him again, let him taste the Wu family's hidden arrows by himself, it's hard to defend!"

Mingren looked righteous, "If we don't tell him, wouldn't it mean nothing if we pay those heavy prices? Mingli, you have to dump ten days of garbage!"

Fanning really liked the two brothers. He hugged them on their shoulders, "Continue, what mechanisms are there below?"

Mingren exclaimed a few words to Fanning, and Fanning nodded repeatedly, "It's really a lot of mechanisms!"

At this time, Fan Tiege called out to his two sons and said, "You two come with me, Uncle Wu Shi wants to say a few words to Aning."

Mingli poked Fanning lightly with his arm, meaning: "The show is on!"

Akihito glanced at Fanning with sympathy, but his eyes meant, "Brother can only help you so much."

The two brothers left Fanning and followed their father.

"Fan Shaolang, please come here!"

Mr. Wu invited Fan Ning to sit in the living room and asked someone to serve tea again. Fan Ning glanced at him, but there was a ingot of white silver under the small table where the tea bowl was placed, about five taels.

Fan Ning laughed in her heart, there is really money!

Mr. Wu seemed to have not seen the silver under his nose. He asked with a smile: "What errands are Fan Shaolang's father doing at the moment?"

Fan Ning scratched his head and replied seriously: "My father is currently fishing in Taihu Lake and is a fisherman!"

"oh--"

The smile on Mr. Wu's face became a little unnatural, but he still maintained a polite attitude. He asked again: "Isn't Fan Shaolang's home in Mudu Town?"

Fan Ning shook his head quickly, "Mudu Town is a temporary rented house. My family is in Jiangwan Village. My family is poor and there are only three thatched houses."

The smile on Mr. Wu's face disappeared. He looked at Fan Ning's clothes again. He saw that he was wearing a half-old fine linen and the square scarf he wore was washed white. From his clothes, he could tell that Fan Ning's family was indeed not good, which really disappointed Mr. Wu.

He forced a smile again, "Fan Shaolang, please sit down, I'll go and see if the food is ready?"

"Even if you don't want to go!"

Mr. Wu glanced at the silver under the table meaningfully, turned around and left quickly.

At this time, Fan Ning picked up the silver on the ground, weighed it, and looked carefully for a while. It turned out that it was not silver, it should be copper.

Fanning snorted softly and put the white copper on the table.

After drinking a cup of tea, a housekeeper walked in and smiled and said, "The food is ready. The master invites Shaolang to have a meal."

Fan Ning finally waited for the moment of dinner. This was his original intention to visit Wu Yuanwai’s house. Eating was the essence, and other blind dates were all over the world.

"Thank you! Please lead the way."

Fanning followed the housekeeper out. As soon as he left the living room, a girl came towards him, who was about eleven or twelve years old. She wore a light yellow short jacket on her upper body and a long red skirt on her lower body. She had a double-ring bun, and had nostrils facing the sky. She looked quite ugly, and there were a few small white pockmarks on her dark face.

The housekeeper stepped forward and bowed, "Miss Wu is here?"

The girl nodded and looked at Fan Ning with a smile. This was the second test of the Wu family. To be precise, it was the test set by the heroine. In Mingli's words, this plan is called Li Dai Tao Zombie.

Test Fanning's admiration for the heroine.

Fan Ning stepped forward and bowed deeply, "I have heard of the little lady Wu's name for a long time!"

The girl covered her mouth and trembled constantly, and the butler shook her head secretly. What kind of eyes are you looking like! Will the real Miss Wu be so ugly? Another loser in the test.

He smiled and said, "Shaolang made a mistake. This is not my little master, but Xiao Tao, the little master's maid. Her surname is also Wu."

"Oh! So that's it. I'm sorry."
