"Does the official know Fan Ning?" Wang asked carefully.

Zhu Xiaoyun nodded, "My father wrote a letter to talk about this person, saying that he was originally stupid, but later he suddenly became extremely talented and won the first place in the Wuxian selection competition. Not long ago, he won the first place in the boy's examination. He is a promising young man."

Speaking of this, Zhu Xiaoyun asked his wife in confusion, "Why did you suddenly mention him?"

"He came to our house today to visit Peier?"

‘Visit Peier?’

Zhu Xiaoyun was a little surprised, "Do he and Pei'er know each other?"

Zhu Xiaoyun only knows Fanning roughly, and he knows nothing about Fanning's relationship with his daughter.

“They are very familiar”

Wang tried to use a more gentle wording, "You also know that Pei'er once dressed up as a boy and studied at Yanying School for half a year. Her deskmate was Fanning at that time."

Zhu Xiaoyun opened his mouth wide, and for a while he burst into laughter, "This is very interesting!"

"I think it's interesting?"

Wang said worriedly: "They will fall in love with each other every day, and they will fall in love with each other over time. Don't officials worry?"

"Peer is only ten years old! Is it too early to think about this issue?"

"Your daughter is no longer a yellow-haired girl!" Wang couldn't help but raise her tone.

"Okay! OK! Don't be anxious first."

Zhu Xiaoyun quickly comforted his wife, "Tell me what happened today?"

Wang told her husband about Fanning's visit today, but she did not let her daughter come forward, but in the end her daughter ran out without permission.

Her evaluation of Fanning was quite objective. She thought Fanning was well-educated and was a sensible child. The key was that her daughter was too willful. To put it bluntly, she was just a wild girl.

Of course, she would not say the word "Wild Girl" in front of her husband, so she changed her euphemism.

"Peer was spoiled by her grandfather since she was a child. She was as good as she wanted and was very willful. I was worried that if she continued to be willful like this, there would be some gossip that would be unfavorable to her."

Zhu Xiaoyun knew that his wife had always complained about her father's method of disciplining her granddaughter. Today, when talking about her daughter, she vaguely blamed her father, which made Zhu Xiaoyun feel a little uncomfortable.

He forced a smile and said, "The girl goes out to play with her friends. This is not against ethics and is also a normal thing. You have to control Pei'er and lock her up at home all day. It is not realistic. It is better to let her make more friends. Today, Liu Sheren brought her son to visit me. His son is good. It is our young man from Wujiang, Chu Qiao, so you can let Pei'er have some contact with him."

Although her husband said it lightly, Wang's heart moved. Last year when she returned to Wujiang to filial piety for the old lady, her third sister-in-law Liu Hua vaguely mentioned her nephew Liu Ran. Although she didn't say it clearly, her meaning was very obvious, she wanted to be a matchmaker for Pei'er.

The Liu family is from Songling Town and a wealthy family in Wujiang. They have been married to the Zhu family for generations. They are a matchmaker. Liu Ran is the best among the younger generation of the Liu family. It is said that the boy got the second place in the exam.

Today, Liu Sheren brought his son to visit her husband. It seemed that his juniors were visiting his elders, but his intuition told Wang that things were probably not that simple.

"Official, did Liu Sheren mention Pei'er?"

"I didn't mention it, I just said that I wanted his son to date Yi'er more and become friends."

Yi'er is Zhu Yi, Zhu Xiaoyun's second son. He is sixteen years old this year. He is currently studying in the Imperial Academy. Zhu Xiaoyun really thought that Liu Sheren brought his son to establish a relationship with his second son.

Hearing his wife's words, he suddenly felt a little awake, "Do you mean the Liu family is interested in Pei'er?"

"I just feel this way. Last year, my third sister-in-law Liu Hua introduced her nephew Liu Ran to me and praised him for being smart and elegant. Isn't this very obvious?"

"Maybe she also wants Liu Ran to be Yi'er's friend?"

Wang sighed, "If you want to be friends with Yi'er, you should tell you, what else can you say to chat between women besides marriage?"

Zhu Xiaoyun laughed, "It seems that my daughter is a hot commodity, and she is snatching her everywhere!"

"Officials, now is not a time to joke." Wang looked at her husband with some complaints.

"Madam, don't be so nervous!"

Zhu Xiaoyun smiled and comforted his wife, "I guess you have been used to being nervous about Zhe'er for many years, so Pei'er also treats Zhe'er as Zhe'er. In fact, there is no need. My attitude is very clear. Pei'er can go out to play with friends, but you need to contact other friends more. Fanning can contact and Liu Ran can also contact. Anyway, if there is a sword girl who protects her closely, she will not be wronged."

Wang sighed quietly. Perhaps her husband was right. He had been worried about his eldest son so much over the years that he habitually put it on his daughter.

Thinking of his eldest son, Wang's heart twitched again. Has Zheer been like this all his life?

......

A few more days passed, and on that morning, autumn rain started drizzling in the capital, and the whole sky became foggy. The chill of late autumn enveloped this capital full of life.

Fanning did not sit in the study and listened to the sound of rain, but wandered around the old Caomen tiles alone, just like the essence of the garden can be found in the rain. There will be a reward for surfing the tiles on the rainy day.

There were few pedestrians in the tiles and seemed very deserted. There were only a few students who came to forage for food by chance. They did not hold umbrellas, covered their heads with their sleeves, and ran in the rain. They soon got into a snack shop.

Fanning held an oil-paper umbrella and enjoyed the rare tranquility of the rainy day alone. He had already had breakfast and had no interest in the snack shop.

He is very interested in shops selling various gadgets, and see if he can buy some interesting things and send them back to his sister.

At this time, Fanning stopped in front of a small jewelry shop. The owner sat at the door and carefully made a lotus made of gold. The core of the flower is a large crystal white pearl. A small hole was drilled into the pearl, and a little melted glue was poured in. Then he inserted the pearl on the half-piece needle on the flower core. After the glue was dry, the pearl was firm.

Then, the golden petals that were as thin as cicada wings were installed

Fanning looked at it for a quarter of an hour and saw the shop make golden flowers with his own eyes. The exquisite craftsmanship surprised him.

"Little official, are you interested? Buy it and give it to your mother, it's a very beautiful headdress." The owner smiled and recommended it to him.

"How much does this gold cost?" Fanning asked hesitated.

The owner smiled and said, "The shop only makes silver jewelry. There are not many such gold jewelry. I usually want ten cents of money, but it rains today and I don't have a single business. Even if you help me with a single business, eight cents of money!"

Fanning estimated that the capital of this golden flower and pearl was about five jin of money, and he didn't have to pay the craftsmen. The profit was three jin of money. Fanning smiled and said, "I'll buy the six jin of money!"

"The little official bargaining is too ruthless. I will lose money for six guan. Please make some craftsmanship money! How about the price of seven guan."

Fanning thought that he still had rent, so he nodded, "Then it's seven-cent money, please help me with it."

The owner was overjoyed and quickly found the jewelry box and helped Fanning to carefully install the golden flower.

Fanning took advantage of the gap in his packaging and walked around his shop again. He saw that the shop owner was really exquisite and amazing.

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from the door of the store, "Shopkeeper, sell this golden flower to me!"

"My little lady, this golden flower has been bought by the customer in the store. I'm really embarrassed."

Fanning smiled and walked out and said, "I'll sell it to you, ten cents of money!"

At the door was a pretty and unparalleled little lady holding an oil-paper umbrella in her hand. Who isn't Zhu Pei?

Behind her, Jian Meizi stood behind her like a female god, holding a big umbrella, which was already above the small shop.

Zhu Pei wore a light red tight half-sleeved shirt, a green double-breasted, cross-necked, and a deep red wide six-sleeved skirt, all of which were made of precious silk. This is the most fashionable clothing for women in Beijing.

Her hair was combed with a small double-ring bun, and her hair was as beautiful as a cloud in the middle. She inserted a green feather hairpin inlaid with gems. Her skin was as creamy as a result, her eyes were filled with autumn water, and her eyes were twinkling like gems.

Zhu Pei tilted his head and looked at Fan Ning with a smile, "This little official, you haven't paid yet! You just don't buy it, why should you resell it to me?"

Fan Ning took out seven taels of silver and handed it to the owner. The owner took it with a bitter look on his face, thinking to himself, "This little official is too dark. I bought it for seven coins and sold it for ten coins in a blink of an eye. This is making money for me!"

He was determined not to sell, but the transaction had been reached. The owner had no choice but to say angrily: "Little official, don't sell it so expensive. Making black money is not something a scholar does!"

Fan Ning smiled slightly, "Then sell it at a loss!"
