In Mudu Town, the flags of Fan’s clinic are flying in the wind.

Fan Tiezhou had just sent away an old man who came to seek medical treatment from Kunshan.

The Fan Clinic is well-known even in Pingjiang Prefecture, especially in bruises and injuries. Even the prefect Dong sent a ship to pick up Fan Tiezhou because of accidentally spraining his hand, which made him even more famous in bone cutting and treatment.

One advantage of Pingjiang Mansion is that the waterway is well developed, and patients do not need to ride in a ox cart to see the doctor all the way. But when they lie on the boat, they come easily, and they don’t even have to get off the boat. Fan Tiezhou directly boarded the boat to heal his wounds.

For this reason, Fan Tiezhou opened his Fan's clinic directly opposite the wharf and rented a two-story shop for a monthly price of 15 jin. The flags of the "Fan's clinic" floated high in front of the clinic.

The first floor treats bruises and injuries, the second floor visits the internal medicine department, and takes the prescriptions prescribed by Fan's clinic to get the medicine, and you can get the lowest discounted price in the pharmacy shop.

Fan Tiezhou is not only a famous doctor, but also a famous gentry in Mudu Town. His family has hundreds of acres of fertile land and serves as the deputy clan leader of the Fan family. He has been the head priest of the family for two consecutive years.

However, he is still at the level of Fan Yuan, and is far from being as good as the official Fan. This requires him to obtain at least the honorary officer from the fifth-rank cavalry commander.

The only one who can be called a high-ranking official in Mudu Town is Zhu Yuanfu, who has the title of Duke of the County.

Fan Tiezhou has been a little uneasy these two days, and he is worried about his son's situation.

The provincial imperial examination has been over for four days, but he has no way of knowing how his son has done the exam.

Although his wife is more concerned about his son's safety and talks a few times a day, Fan Tiezhou is not very concerned about this. His second brother came back from the capital and told him about his son's recent situation, which made him completely relieved.

Now he is more concerned about his son's provincial examination. Since his son can pass the exam first in Pingjiang Prefecture, there is hopelessness to pass the exam.

It is this mentality of worrying about gains and losses that has made Fan Tiezhou restless and restless these days. He has not been to the hospital for three days.

"Brother Tiezhou!"

Someone called him behind him. Fan Tiezhou turned around and saw that it was Liu Yansi, the head of Yanying Academy. He hurriedly came forward and said, "Why is Master Liu coming?"

Since Zhu Yuanfu moved back to Wujiang, the boss of Mudu Town has been the owner of the Yuan of Liu. He is the largest landlord of Mudu Town, owns 50 hectares of fertile land and many industries. For example, the three pharmaceutical shops in the town are all his industries, which are closely related to Fan Tiezhou.

Yuanzhu Liu stepped forward and asked with concern: "Is there any news about Aning?"

Since Fan Ning passed the exam first in Pingjiang Prefecture Boy Examination, Yanying School in Mudu Town has surpassed Yuqing School and county-owned official school, becoming the first school in Wuxian.

In December last year, nearly 3,000 young students rushed from all over Pingjiang Prefecture to take the Yanying School in Mudu Town.

Of course, Master Liu was more concerned about Fan Ning. If Fan Ning could pass the Jinshi for the Boy Crafts degree, then Yanying Academy would be as famous as the famous Literary Academy in Pingjiang Prefecture.

The admission to an adult Jinshi has little impact on the school, mainly because the county school benefits, but the admission to the Boy School is the credit of the school.

Although Fanning has not been in Yanying School for a long time, no one can deny that Fanning was born in Yanying School.

Fan Tiezhou shook his head, "I'm worried too!"

After pausing, he said, "I heard that I have to take the palace exam again. Isn't it meaningless to have a provincial exam?"

"No! No! No!"

Master Liu quickly shook his head, "As long as you pass the provincial examination, you will at least be able to get a Jinshi, and the palace examination is only ranked."

"Master Liu, let's go have a cup of tea!" Fan Tiezhou pointed to the Tongxing Teahouse not far away and said with a smile.

Master Liu nodded happily, "Then please!"

As soon as the two of them walked to the entrance of the teahouse, Aqing ran over panting, "Master, a quick message is delivered to the capital!"

Fan Tiezhou was excited and turned around and ran towards the clinic, and Lord Liu followed closely behind.

When I rushed to the entrance of the clinic, I saw a letter sender waiting aside. The letter sender stepped forward and said, "Is the official in charge Fan Tiezhou?"

"I'm exactly!"

The sender took out a letter, "This is a quick letter to be signed in Beijing, and it needs to be signed by the outsider in person!"

Fan Tiezhou quickly took a private seal from the clinic and stamped the seal on the signing book.

Fan Tiezhou read the letter, and it turned out that it was written by his son.

He quickly tore open the letter skin, and the Lord Liu also stretched his neck to read the letter.

After only looking at two lines, Fan Tiezhou squatted down with his face covering his face, and tears of excitement surged out of his fingers.

Master Liu didn't see it clearly and asked anxiously: "Iron Zhou, what's the situation?"

Fan Tiezhou said in a trembling voice: "As you wish, he passed the exam!"

"ah!"

Master Liu's face suddenly burst into laughter and quickly clasped his fists, "Congratulations to Tiezhou!"

The news that Fan Ning passed the boy exam for the Jinshi was quickly spread throughout the town. For a moment, the entire Mudu Town became boiling, with gongs and drums and firecrackers roaring. Hundreds of people rushed to the Fan Clinic to congratulate Fan Tiezhou.

Fan Tiezhou specially took out a thousand guan of money, and each family in Mudu Town and Jiangwan Village gave Yiguan money to express his gratitude to his fellow villagers.

At the same time, Sutai Town, Wu County was also in full swing. The news that Su Liang passed the exam for the boy Jinshi spread throughout his hometown. Su Liang's grandfather was extremely excited and specially set up a hundred tables of banquets to entertain the elders of his hometown.

.........

According to the schedule of the admission notice, on March 15, all scholars will be admitted to Chongwenguan and are not allowed to go out.

This is actually for the sake of scholars. The tide of marriage catching once every three years began before the list was released.

The wealthy and powerful and wealthy merchants drove carriages everywhere to find the Jinshi who were on the list.

Married Jinshi hid in their father-in-law's house, and unmarried Jinshi hid in their relatives and friends' homes in the capital. They didn't want to be caught, but just wanted to take the initiative in their own hands.

They don’t want to be caught in the mansion and get married so easily if they are willing to choose a wife who is satisfied with them.

As for the scholars who were tested by the boys, they were not taken much attention. After all, they were young and under fifteen years old. The court also had explicit regulations that it was not allowed to test the scholars who were tested by the boys.

On March 17, three days before the palace examination, the Ministry of Rites convened 596 scholars who passed the provincial examination to study etiquette at the Ministry of Rites.

Since the emperor personally presided over the examination, the examination room was set up in the Daqing Hall, which required the scholars to learn the necessary court etiquette, bathing and changing clothes, speaking and behavior when going to the hall, how to salute the emperor, etc.

Many details were taught to the scholars one by one, and they had to simulate them three times, until they would not make any mistakes. Only then did the meticulous officials of the Ministry of Rites ended the day's training.

When I left the Ministry of Rites, it was already dark.

"Fanning, do you think we will be robbed of a bride?"

Su Liang got on the ox cart and looked around a little worriedly. He lowered his voice and said, "I heard that Meng Tong was snatched into the mansion by the Yan family and married Yan Shu's seventh granddaughter as his wife."

Fan Ning smiled and said, "Meng Tong is Ouyang Xiu's disciple, and Ouyang Xiu is also Yan Shu's disciple. Do you think the Yan family has to steal the Yan family's fondness for Meng Tong?"

"You mean, you've booked it long ago?"

"It should be!"

At this time, a carriage suddenly stopped in front of the ox cart they were riding, and only the people shouted: "This ox cart also came out of the Ministry of Rites!"

Four or five strong women rushed out of the carriage, rolled up their sleeves, and rushed straight to the ox carriage. They were the main force in robbing their brides.

The powerful and noble families also need to consider the feelings of the Jinshi. Generally, women use women to steal the bride. There are two types of women. One is a healthy woman. They are the main force in the attack. After they snatch the Jinshi into the carriage, there are two beautiful women sitting in the carriage. They are responsible for appeaseing the emotions of the Jinshi.

The two women held the arm of the Jinshi on the left and right to prevent him from jumping off the car and escaping. At the same time, they comforted him and asked the Jinshi to eat some tofu. As long as they could send the Jinshi to the mansion, they would receive a heavy reward.

Seeing a group of tiger-like women rushing towards him, Su Liang was frightened and said anxiously: "What should we do? We are going to be robbed of marriage!"

Fan Ning looked ordinary, but he was not worried. They were boys. It is said that many women who were waiting to get married were over 20 years old. Do you want him, a thirteen-year-old boy, to marry a wife in his twenties?

Just make it clear at that time.

But he didn't seem to have to worry about it. He saw a scream from a woman. Four or five healthy women who were about to get on the ox cart and rob people fell to the ground, and a black shadow protected the gate of the ox cart.

"Who is this person?" Su Liang asked in surprise.

"You know!" Fanning smiled and walked out of the ox cart.

Su Liang suddenly woke up, and he said a little sour: "I knew Zhu Pei would protect you!"

Fan Ning jumped out of the ox cart and smiled at Xu Qing, "Let me reason with them!"

Fanning clasped his fists and said to the butler sitting in front of the carriage: "Which family is it?"

When the housekeeper saw a young man, his face suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "We are from Taiwei Yang."

Taiwei Yang is the brother of Queen Yang. Fan Ning nodded, "Fan Ning is the boy test student. Thank you, Taiwei Yang, for being proud of me, I can't obey my order!"

When the housekeeper heard that it was the one who was on the list of the boy test, he immediately called out a bad luck and had to let everyone get on the carriage. He apologized to Fanning: "A misunderstanding, sorry!"
