Chapter 42 The old bottom is exposed(1/2)

When he returned home, Fan Ning boarded his father's boat, and there were grandfather Fan Dachuan and fourth uncle Fan Tongzhong on the boat.

Fortunately, it was not dark, Fanning sat on the bow of the boat and fished with a fishing line. The fourth uncle Fan Tongzhong also took a fishing line on the other side, talking to Fanning without a single click.

Grandfather Fan Dachuan sat in the canopy, taking a nap with his eyes closed, but his ears were raised, and he brought the conversation between the two outside into his ears without missing a word.

"Ning'er, how did you know Master Zhu?"

"How could I know Master Zhu? It was the head of the hospital who helped him invite him."

"I want to invite Mr. Zhu to have a cup of tea. Can you help me with the thread?"

"Uncle Fourth, you have to be more confident. You have communicated with him today. Go and invite him yourself, and I will support you!"

"Ninger, there is another important issue."

"Uncle Fourth, stop talking, ah! I've caught fish."

















After listening for a while, Fan Dachuan finally couldn't help but say something: "Little slippery!"

After darkness ended, the boat finally slowly anchored on the dock in the village. Fan Dachuan was exhausted and went home with the support of his youngest son.

"Ning'er, let's go!"

Fan Tiezhou tied the boat and walked towards the house with the oar and his son.

Although Fan Tiezhou was also full of questions, he knew his son. If his son didn't want to say it, it would be better not to ask.

"You are back!"

When Zhang Sanniang heard the footsteps of her husband and son, she quickly opened the yard gate to meet her.

"Mom, we are starving to death!" Fanning immediately shouted when she saw her mother.

"There are rice and food, wait a little hot and eat."

However, Zhang Sanniang didn't care about her son for the time being and asked her husband, "How is the talk?"

"The negotiation has been completed, the third brother and his father-in-law have returned and live a peaceful life."

Zhang Sanniang was stunned, "Isn't this the same as before?"

"no the same!"

Fan Tiezhou shook his head, "The Lu family completely admits its conscience. The two families wrote an agreement. Niu Niu and his surname are. Tieniu grow 100 acres of land every year, of which 80 acres of income belong to Tieniu. Anyway, he has all the normal son-in-law. The gentry, Li Zheng and Zhu Daguan all signed and sealed the documents. I guess Mr. Lu was also afraid that the third brother would take revenge on him when he got old."

"It seems that he is not stupid! But who is Mr. Zhu?"

"You have to ask Ning'er, this is the big squire he invited."

Zhang Sanniang turned her eyes to her son in confusion, and she suddenly remembered something a hundred times more important than the third brother's divorce.

She stepped forward and grabbed her son's ear, "You little rabbit, come with me!"

"Mom, what are you doing? It hurts! Let go."

"Madam, why are you trying to pull Ning'er's ear?"

Zhang Sanniang angrily pulled her son to the living room. An oil lamp was lit in the living room, and the small square table was filled with white silver.

Not only was there silver on the table, Fanning's treasure chest also was dug out, the mouth of the box was open, and there were all kinds of treasures inside.

Fanning's heart was 'skipping!', when did my mother become a hunting dog?

Fan Tiezhou was also stunned, "What's going on?"

"Ask your baby son, he found it from his room."

Fan Tiezhou looked at his son in confusion.

Fanning scratched her head, "Strange! Who put this in my room?"

Zhang Sanniang was both angry and funny, and knocked her son hard on the head.

She suddenly let out a 'puff!' and couldn't help laughing.

"My son is so interesting. He actually asked who put it?"

Fan Tiezhou laughed dryly, stepped forward and picked up a ingot of silver and looked at it.

"Like the last time the silver, the official silver from Raozhou, Ning'er, did you find another Taihu stone for Yuanwai Zhou?"

Fan Ning secretly gave a thumbs up, who said his father was not smart, and he could tell the whole story of it with a glimpse of it.

"That's right, I found him a top-quality Taihu stone in Qishi Lane, and he gave me two hundred taels of silver."

Zhang Sanniang's eyebrows stood up, "A broken stone, you actually have the nerve to ask for two hundred taels of silver. You are too greedy!"

"Mom, if you get that Taihu stone to the capital, you will have to sell at least 5,000 taels of silver. I'm already at a loss."

"Five thousand taels!"

Zhang Sanniang was a little dizzy. She really couldn't figure out what the concept of 5,000 taels of silver was?

"You can buy 10,000 sheepskin coats!"

Fanning understood his mother's eyes and muttered in a low voice.

"His father, when can we get five thousand taels of silver?"

Zhang Sanniang sighed weakly, "Not five thousand taels, I will be satisfied with one thousand taels of silver."

"The one on your wrist is worth at least 100,000 taels of silver."

Fan Ning suddenly discovered that his mother actually put the string of purple jade on his wrist.

Zhang Sanniang screamed, pointed to the bracelet, widened her eyes and asked, "How much is this money?"

Fan Tiezhou looked solemn. He picked up his wife's wrist and looked at the beads, and said to his wife: "This should be jade, which is very expensive. I saw it at the Changzhou Jewelry Store more than ten years ago. Only one piece is priced at 2,000 guan, which is far less dazzling than this one."

"I won't wear it!"

Zhang Sanniang quickly wiped the beads and placed them on the table, avoiding them like snakes and scorpions.

"Ning'er, you must tell your father where this came from?" Fan Tiezhou asked extremely seriously.

"This is given to the third grandfather by the emperor, and the third grandfather will give it to me again."

Fan Ning pushed Fan Zhongyan on the head no matter what, it was definitely correct.

"Dad, although this bead string is expensive, it cannot be sold, let alone told. It will cause a murder, so I buried it and won't tell you."

Fan Ning looked at her mother in confusion. She could find it even after covering half a foot of soil. She really admired her.

At this time, Zhang Sanniang had returned to normal from the extreme fright of 100,000 taels of silver.

"Is your mother the ignorant person? If you said it earlier, I would wear it on my hands?"

She reached out to knock on her son's head, but Fan Ning avoided it in time, "Didn't you show it to others?" he asked vigilantly.

Zhang Sanniang blushed, "I originally wanted to show it to the wife of the Liu family next door, and you are back."

"What are these?" Fan Tiezhou asked, pointing to the other items in the box.

"It's all gifts given to me by others. Congratulations to me for the first place in the exam. The fan was given by Master Zhu, the agate jade gourd was given by Master Liu, and you know the two topaz rings, and there is also a piece of white jade sent by Mr. Zhou."

Fanning was talking nonsense half true and half false, and anyway, this kind of thing could not be proved.

"Then put it away quickly!"

Fan Tiezhou said: "These things are souvenirs, and I think it's best to bury them."

Fanning stepped forward and put all the treasures into the treasure box and covered them with a lid.

After all, Zhang Sanniang is a country woman, and her life of 100,000 taels of silver is too far away from her, she cannot imagine and has no interest.

On the contrary, two hundred taels of silver made her eyes shine.

She piled up two hundred taels of silver together and smiled at her husband, "Dad, let's use this silver to build a new house! I want to build a big yard, five tiled houses, and marry Ning'er in the future."

Fan Ning heard his mother's three words and never parted in marriage and said angrily: "This is the capital I plan to open a clinic for my father."

"What clinic is open!?"

The couple spoke in unison, but their meanings were different. Fan Tiezhou was unhappy and denied, but Zhang Sanniang was questioning.

Fan Ning quickly told his thoughts to his mother. He knew that the mother was the one who decided at home, and as long as the mother made the decision, his father would have to go if he didn't go.

After hearing Fan Ning's thoughts, Zhang Sanniang didn't say anything. This happened suddenly and she needed to think about it.
