At this time, Zhu Pei and Jian Meizi walked into the room. Zhu Pei's face was full of energy. It was obvious that she was quite satisfied with the house. She winked at Fanning and said she could buy it.

Fan Ning hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but say, "This price is indeed cheaper than the house outside. If General Yang urgently uses money, I can add another 2,000 guan."

Yang Wenguang shook his head, "Of course I know that if I ask for a price of 20,000 yuan, it can be sold, but every family has a difficult scripture to recite. This price is the result of internal negotiation and compromise between the family and it is related to the family's face. I won't say much, only 16,000 yuan."

Fan Ning said again: "Then add two thousand guan. As the money for furniture, I also hope to buy this house at a fair price. Please understand General Yang."

Fan Ning did not want to take advantage of the Yang family. He was not interested in this house because he was not trying to make it cheaper. He paid 2,000 guan more to avoid any disputes within the Yang family in the future.

Many times, taking advantage will cause greater trouble.

Yang Wenguang thought about it and nodded in agreement, "Okay! That's 18,000 guan. Except for the screen wall, everyone else belongs to Fan Shaolang."

Fan Ning took out a deposit ticket from Zhu's money shop and half a jade pendant, put it on the table and said, "This is a deposit of 2,000 guan, and the remaining 16,000 guan is completed. I will pay it in one lump sum."

Yang Wenguang shook his head, "The deposit is not needed. After the transaction is completed, we will pay together in the end!"

Yang Wenguang immediately signed and stamped Pan Sanlang's deal contract, and said goodbye. He ordered the housekeeper to find someone to transport the screen wall back to Tianbo Mansion, then close the door and prepare to hand over.

The rest of the matter is done by Teen, and neither party has to worry about it. Just give the money to buy and sell the house in the end, and the transaction is completed.

"Zhu Pei, you're pretty satisfied with the house!" Fan Ning asked with a smile as he sent Zhu Pei onto the carriage.

"You guys have gotten a big bargain!"

Zhu Pei sighed, "I didn't expect there was live water in the mansion. Such a house is hard to come by in the capital. My father wanted to buy a house with live water. I searched for a year but didn't buy it. I didn't expect you to encounter it."

Fanning was also very excited, "It seems that I am lucky to leave. I didn't know that it was hard to find a house with living water. I thought there would be living water by the river."

"No! The government strictly prohibits the introduction of living water into the house when building a private house. The living water in this other house should be naturally formed, so it is not banned by the government. This is the most rare thing."

Zhu Pei got on the carriage and said, "Tomorrow I will accompany my brother to the palace and give the statue of the emperor and Concubine Zhang. The palace fights secretly, hey! It's hard to say, I'll leave first. By the way, my brother likes the Tianhuangshi you gave him very much. After he finishes carving, I'll give them to you."

"Tell him that next time I will make him a big Tianhuangshi, which is as big as a water tank."

"Don't exploit my brother in different ways all day long."

Zhu Pei hit the nail on the head, Fanning scratched his head a little embarrassedly, as if he had exploited Zhu Zhe a little too much, and only asked him to work, but did not pay.

Zhu Pei gave him a dissatisfied look and ordered: "Go!"

The carriage started and drove quickly to the east, and soon disappeared into the crowd.

Then Fan Ning walked quickly towards the Ximen of the Taixue School.

．

At noon, Fanning came to the Taixue Dining Hall. Today he did not go out for dinner. One was because he went out farther and he was not happy to go more. The other was that the officials of the Imperial College and the professors of the Imperial College were having lunch in the Taixue School, and Fanning had no need to be alone.

Of course, he also wanted to find Su Liang.

There are four dining halls in the Taixue School, three large and one small. Three of them mainly serve Taixue students and auditors. There are about 500 students in the Taixue School, but there are nearly 2,000 students. They almost all spend lunch in the Taixue School at noon, and the number is huge.

The small dining hall mainly serves professors of the Imperial College and officials of the Imperial College. In addition, the jinshi of the Boys and Jinshi who are studying in the Imperial College can also eat in the small dining hall. Of course, the food color and taste of the small dining hall should be better.

But generally speaking, the food in Taixue is still very good. Historically, Song Shenzong once inspected the Taixue and ate a lunch at Taixue, praising the deliciousness of the Taixue buns. From then on, Taixue buns became famous in one fell swoop and became a famous snack in the capital.

Fanning came to the small dining hall, which was close to the library. When he walked into the small dining hall, Fanning saw Su Liang at a glance. He was sitting at the dining table and having dinner with several classmates.

Fanning took a bowl of soup, one

Grilled lamb chops, a fish, a serving of stewed vegetables and two meat buns came to Su Liang to sit down. The other three boys and scientists were stunned for a moment and looked at Fanning with a little nervousness.

"It seems that my image is not very good!"

Fanning smiled and said, "Everyone seems nervous when they see me. What is the reason?"

Su Liang curled his lips and said, "Because you are the supervisor, we are the students, you are the officials, we are the people, and the people are afraid of the officials. Don't you understand this principle?"

"I am a official, and I am just a name, and I have nothing to do. In fact, like you, I am also studying in the Imperial Academy, but the monthly subsidy is a little more than you."

Speaking of subsidies, everyone became interested. A scholar asked, "How much salary subsidy does Brother Fan have in a month?"

Fan Ning recognized that the person who asked was Cao Shi, and smiled and said, "I am an official rank of eighth rank. How many will Cao Yanei calculate?"

Cao Shi thought for a while and said, "I have a cousin who is currently the magistrate of the eighth rank. His monthly salary is 15 jin, plus the subsidy of five jin of local officials, totaling twenty jin. Brother Fan is 8th rank. I estimate that the monthly salary will be slightly higher, but there is no subsidy for local officials. With the subsidy of the Imperial College, I estimate that it is between fifteen jin and twenty jin."

"It's almost the same! But I rent a house outside myself, and I have to solve it myself for two meals sooner or later. The expenses are relatively high, and it's far less comfortable than you."

"But Brother Fan is an official in Beijing!"

Another scholar sighed: "We will be able to be appointed as a candidate in three years. This is too big a gap."

"It depends on how you understand this problem. Just like the difference between ten and twenty years old, but the difference between the same two people, by the age of seventy and eighty, is almost gone. So today I seem to be one step ahead of you, but it is hard to say who is lower and who is higher in more than ten years. It is very likely that I will be your subordinate in the future."

Fanning is telling the truth. It is hard to say about things in the officialdom. Everyone has different backgrounds, different opportunities and different abilities. It is still hard to say who can reach a high position in the end.

For example, the Cao Shi, the Cao family's legitimate grandson, has placed great hope in him, and there is another aunt who is the queen, so it is difficult for him not to be promoted.

Everyone knew that Fanning was right, so they lowered their heads to eat and stopped talking.

Fanning took a few bites of steamed buns, took a sip of soup, and asked Su Liang again: "How many times did you pass the Jinshi of the last Boy Craftsmanship?"

The Boy Crazy Exam is also taken every three years. The previous class also admitted fifty Jinshi in the Boy Crazy Exam, but the first place in the previous class was only ranked eighth in the second grade, so he did not directly obtain an official position. Like other Jinshi in the Boy Crazy Exam, he entered the Imperial Academy for three years.

Fan Ning asked how many people passed the three-year study assessment after the previous grade of the Boy Craftsmanship?

Su Liang thought for a while and said, "I passed more than 30, and there were still more than a dozen people who stayed and continued to study for two years."

Cao Shi smiled and added: "Not only were there those who stayed in the previous session, but eight people in the previous session did not pass the Ministry of Personnel's assessment and were disqualified from being a Jinshi."

"What about the allocation of those who passed the exam?"

Cao Shi sighed, "Essentially, I went to various states to study as ninth-rank teaching assistants. They were only seventeen or eighteen years old. What official can I become?"

This topic was a bit heavy. Thinking of their future destiny, their eyes flashed with a hint of gloom, but Cao Shi looked calm. He had a family support from behind and was not worried about his future.

.........

After lunch, Fanning invited everyone to sit in his official room. Everyone went there happily. Everyone wanted to see Fanning's treatment, and everyone was full of curiosity.

Su Liang and three new friends all live in the same yard, but each has their own separate room. In addition to Cao Shi, two people are named Zheng Li, from Chengdu Prefecture, and the other is named Wen Xiu, and from Fenzhou. These two people are said to be children of officials, but they are relatively low-key and do not know their specific family background.

Everyone walked up to the third floor of the library. Fanning pushed open the door of his room and smiled at everyone, "It's quite simple, everyone come in and sit around!"

Everyone walked into the room and couldn't help but exclaim. The room was brightly lit with bright light. Outside the window was a green forest, which was pleasing to the eye.

Su Liang snorted, "This is still simple! I'm so envious."

Cao Shi asked calmly: "Does Brother Fan have his own official room in the Imperial College Courtyard?"

This is the person who has a thorough understanding of the problem. Many of their professors have their own spacious and bright rooms in the Imperial College, but at the same time they also have their own seats in the Imperial College Courtyard. The real status is reflected in the Imperial College Courtyard. No matter how spacious the room in the Imperial College is, it is meaningless.

Fanning shook her head, "I don't have a seat there."

Cao Shi laughed, "I believe it now. Brother Fan is really here to study in Taixue."

At this time, the tea boy appeared at the door. When he saw Fanning had a guest, he hurriedly found two tea cups to serve tea for everyone, dragged a chair, and everyone sat down. Fanning simply sat on his desk. He took a sip of tea and asked with a smile: "Do you usually deal with the Tai students?"

"We don't deal with each other very much, and sometimes when we meet in class, we don't care about the water. Those students are too arrogant and look down on us, so we don't bother to pay attention to them."

"You should look down on them, either!"

Fanning joked and said, "Maybe a few students are drinking tea and chatting now, saying that those boys are too arrogant and look down on them, so what should they do?"

The few people were right to think about it and laughed together.

At this time, the bell for class in the afternoon rang, and the four of them stood up to say goodbye to Fanning. They had class in the afternoon and had to go back to the dormitory to get books.

Fanning took them to the stairs and smiled, "Why don't we get together tonight and have a few drinks and I'll treat you!"

Since Fan Ning deliberately made friends, everyone was no longer polite and happily agreed.
