That night, Fan Tiezhou finally couldn't help but tell his wife about his son's money for three thousand taels of silver.

This time, Zhang Sanniang was not surprised at all, and she even saw it more thoroughly than her husband.

"That's all you have to do is that you always underestimate your son!"

Zhang Sanniang knocked on the table unhappily, "Do you think I don't know anything when I stay at home? When I was fine, I also went to Qishi Lane. I understand the market there. Good Taihu stones only cost a few cents.

Let those vendors sell a mountain travel stone to Zhu Daguanren. Will Zhu Daguanren pay attention to them? Will he give them thousands of taels of silver? Dream!

I have seen through it. Zhu Daguanren didn’t buy stones, but Ning'er. Do you think anyone can hang the plaque of the ‘God-given Prodigy’?”

Zhang Sanniang pointed to the plaque with gold edges on the wall of the living room.

Fan Tiezhou looked at his wife with confusion, "It's very strange today! Ning'er has three thousand taels of silver, but you didn't faint?"

Zhang Sanniang turned red. She almost fainted once this morning. She was excited for a whole day and had just calmed down.

"This morning, Mrs. Zhu came to chat with me and told me about this. However, Ning'er's 3,000 taels of silver have nothing to do with stones. Ning'er invented a winemaking technology and was bought by Mrs. Zhu's third grandfather."

Fan Tiezhou was stunned, and then he realized that his son had not told the truth to him. He was secretly annoyed that this brat had grown up and hid everything, even his father had to hide it.

Helplessly, he had to ask, "What do you think of that lady?"

Zhang Sanniang yawned sleepily and forced herself to say, "Miss Zhu said that her grandfather wanted to open a strange stone museum with Ning'er, and the second son would be the shopkeeper. I thought about it for a day. I think this is a good thing. With the protection of Zhu Daguan, no one dares to bully him."

Fan Tiezhou always felt something was wrong. He said to his wife with a puzzled look: "Don't you think it's a bit strange? Master Zhu has nothing to do with us. Why did he help us again and again, and he was willing to pay a lot of money? I heard from the fourth brother that Master Zhu really agreed to help him study in the palace."

"Look, I just said that you have made your old habit again."

Zhang Sanniang glared at her husband angrily, "Where are they helping us, I think Zhu Daguan is more attractive than you. You always underestimate your son, but they look down on Ning'er. Ning'er passed the first place in the county rank, which means that they have vision."

Fan Tiezhou sighed, "You are right, we can no longer look at Ning'er with old eyes."

"That's you, don't count me!"

Fan Tiezhou smiled bitterly. He was in a mess today, so he had to calm down for a few days before talking about this.

He didn't want to continue talking about this, so he changed the subject, "By the way, when will Ning'er go to the county school?" Fan Tiezhou suddenly remembered this important matter.

"Detect early the morning after tomorrow!"

Zhang Sanniang suddenly remembered something and screamed in surprise, "I'm going to die. I haven't prepared the clothes Ning'er went to the county to study!"

County schools are equivalent to county high schools. They are completely different from schools. Schools are a popular education. There are dozens of schools in Wu County, while there is only one county school, which is directly targeted at the imperial examination.

Since ancient times, Pingjiang Prefecture's education has been very developed, and genius young people have emerged one after another. County schools have gathered the best scholars in the county, famous teachers and disciples, making Pingjiang Prefecture's talents emerge for thousands of years.

The county school enrolls about 200 students every year. The late January of each year is the time for the county school enrollment examination. Thousands of students from the county towns, towns and other counties gather in the county school examination. Thousands of troops squeeze into a single-plank bridge, and the competition is extremely fierce.

The last two hundred scholars became lucky and rushed to the county school.

Of course, if you fail to get into a county school, your family is rich enough and you can pay money to become a attendant. There are about 30 places every year, which is very popular, so it doesn’t matter if you can’t get it.

The attendees are expensive, and they have to pay three years of fees at a time, about a hundred jin of coins. Fan Tongzhong paid 200 taels of silver, half of which was spent on finding relationships, and the other half was tuition.

Before it was dawn, the pier was already filled with family members who were seeing off.

Fan Ning took a boat that specialized in sending freshmen from the county school to the county town. Just like last time he participated in the county school training competition, the boat was covered with ribbons, and a flag was inserted on the tent with the words "First Student of the county school" written on it.

However, this time there were no gentry seeing him off, only relatives and friends came to the pier to see him off.

There were ten other people from Mudu Town who went to the county school with Fan Ning to report to the county school, nine of whom came from Yanying School and the other one came from the official town school.

This time, thirty students from Yanying School applied for the county school, of which 26 passed the exam, ranking second in the county, second only to the county school affiliated schools.

However, the students of Yanying Academy come from all over Pingjiang Prefecture. There are only nine students in Mudu Town, and all nine of them were admitted to the county school. This is the charm of Yanying Academy.

Fanning's bags and cages were shipped away yesterday. He only carried a book bag, which contained some debris and a few taels of broken silver.

He is a county senator, and he is exempt from all miscellaneous money from studying, so he doesn't have to pay a penny. A few taels of silver are just his pocket money.

Fanning was dressed very formally today, wearing a high and square formal hat and a slightly wide green collared deep dress. This is the unique scholar uniform for county students, and it is also a school uniform. She looks particularly energetic.

"Madam, let Ning'er say goodbye to the yard master!"

Fan Tiezhou pulled his wife with tears on her face, and Zhang Sanniang wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and reluctantly let go of her son's hand.

I go to the county school to study, but I can’t come back after I rest for a while. There is no winter or summer vacation. I usually only have the opportunity to go home during the holidays.

His son is only nine years old, so he stays away from him and goes to school. How could Zhang Sanniang be willing to do so?

Fan Ning came to the farewell team of Yanying Academy, and he and Liu Kang hugged him.

Liu Kang said a little sadly: "I have to wait for four more years before I can take the county school exam. I really envy you!"

Fanning patted his arm and encouraged him: "The county school has no age limit. If you work harder, you can take the county school exam in three years."

Liu Kang nodded, with a smile on his face, "But we should also think about it better, you and Zhu Pei are gone, and I will be the first in the future."

Fan Ning was stunned, "Zhu Pei no longer studies?"

"You don't know?"

Fanning shook her head, "She didn't tell me."

Liu Kang scratched the back of his head, "I don't know if it's true. Anyway, the school says she is going to study in the capital, and she hasn't been here for a long time."

At this time, Professor Cai walked up and said with a smile: "Fan Ning, congratulations!"

Fan Ning was very grateful to Professor Cai. Not only did he take care of himself, but he also secretly notified himself at critical moments, so that he could invite Master Zhu in time to turn the situation around.

He quickly bowed and bowed, "Students remember Professor Cai's usual teachings!"

Professor Cai felt very moved and said to Fan Ning: "I have been teaching for almost thirty years. This is the first time I have met a young genius like you. I look forward to your day returning home in glory."

"Thank you, professor!"

At this time, Master Liu walked up and smiled and said, "I won't say goodbye to you. I often go to the county school and will meet you frequently. I just hope you don't forget that you are a student of Yanqing School."

"Students will never forget it, please take care of the hospital!"

Fan Ning bowed deeply to him.

Master Liu told him again: "The day before yesterday, Zhao Xuezheng came to the town to find you, but you were not here. He asked me to bring you a message and ask you to go to the county school, don't rush to report, go find him first."

"Students remember!"

At this time, the bell urging on the boat rang, 'Dang! Dang! Dang!' The boatman shouted: "The ship is starting!"

The students said goodbye to their parents one after another, and Zhang Sanniang forced a smile and said to him: "Go quickly!"

"Mom, I'll be back in the summer solstice, at most two months!"

"Dad, I'm leaving!"

"Go! If you have anything, send me a message."

Fan Ning waved to Liu Kang, Professor Cai, Master Liu and others again, and quickly got on the boat.

He looked at both sides at the bow of the boat, but he never saw Zhu Pei.

This little girl didn't come to say goodbye to me!

Fan Ning felt a little regretful.

At this time, the ship started and parents waved goodbye to their children.

Zhang Sanniang looked at her son's figure and left, and she could no longer hold it back. Tears were pouring down again, and she lay on her husband's shoulder and choked up.

"Ning'er's father, let's rent a house in the county, too!"

Fan Tiezhou felt quite sad, and he forced a smile and said, "Don't say stupid things. If the child has a hard wing, just let him fly!"

The big ship was walking through the waves in the Xu River. At this time, a pleasure boat came towards him and came over the big ship.

Fan Ning suddenly felt that the pleasure boat looked familiar, a bit like Zhu Pei's boat. He hurried to the side of the boat to take a closer look.

Suddenly, a bright color flashed in the sun. Before Fanning could react, a small ball of paper had accurately fallen into Fanning's book bag.

Fan Ning took out the paper ball from the book bag, and saw that the pleasure boat had gone away. A young lady in a red dress stood at the back door of the pleasure boat, waving her goodbye to him.

Fan Ning smiled. This little girl was weird and elves, and she actually said goodbye to herself in this way.

After the pleasure boat disappeared, Fan Ning opened the note, with only one sentence on it.

"Ah Dai, take care of yourself all the way!"

Fan Ning laughed silently. He raised his head and looked at the county town in the distance with his hands behind his back. He couldn't help but look forward to the coming new life.
