Chapter 259 Envy
In the afternoon, Wang Jinyi was practicing calligraphy in the study. Mo Yu went out and came back to remind the young lady:
"Miss, please."
Wang Jinyi glanced at the time and saw that there was less than a quarter left, and the one-hour calligraphy practice time would be completed. However, he had to follow the ancient etiquette, "When parents call, do not delay." He put down the brush, washed his hands, and went to the main room to see his mother.
Before he reached the main room, he heard happy laughter and chattering in the room. Wang Jinyi knew it was his little sister, Wang Yueyi was here again.
To be honest, Wang Jinyi still envies this ancient version of a happy and sweet girl.
Although she was born in the eldest son's family, she had three older brothers who took all the responsibilities of the family for her. In addition, her aunt did not strictly manage her studies. Apart from learning the virtues of a female worker, she basically did not have many expectations of her in her studies.
The Wang family is a family of pure scholars who adhere to the principle of "not competing with the people for profit", so the girls in the harem do not learn how to do business at all. Wang Yueyi lives an easy, simple and happy life.
Isn't this a kind of happiness? Wang Jinyi thought as she walked in quickly. Wang Yueyi came up to her holding a toy bird and kept talking about how she had gone through so much trouble to learn how to play with this toy...
Looking at Wang Yueyi who was as cheerful as a little bird, I couldn't help but curl up the corners of my lips.
The mother knew that her daughter had taken time out to come here, so she pulled the two children to sit down and whispered in her daughter's ear:
"Zhu Yu said you've made arrangements and she's gone to get the stuff."
Wang Jinyi nodded slightly, and looking at the endless love in her mother's eyes, her heart felt warm as if it was melting.
Wang Yueyi happily stretched her head over and said to her with a smile:
"Jin'er, let's go on a picnic after they finish their autumn exam!"
Wang Jinyi turned around and looked at her mother with an inquiring look. Her mother smiled warmly and patted her daughter's hand. "There are only three days left before the Autumn Examination."
Oh! I wonder when the clan will send a letter to Beiyukou. If the clan takes into consideration that there are students taking exams at home, I will probably leave after the results are announced. Anyway, I have already made the preparations to go out.
As for the arrangements at home: the main design of the backyard toys has been completed, and Fuling has to be sent to the library construction site. This is an opportunity for Fuling to participate in a large project.
Of course, a pair of eyes were sent to supervise the construction site. After all, they had their own investment in it. No one was allowed to fish in troubled waters!
The sewing room in the backyard, Zhen's workshop and the finances have been handed over to my mother.
My four managers have been decided, and the work arrangements for the next two months have also been arranged today.
The next step is to set up a Taison Rice Store in each prefecture to coordinate the allocation and management of Taisheng grain in a prefecture. Detailed rules need to be formulated for this.
The woodworking workshop in the front yard that Wang Luanhe is in charge of is still testing the semi-automaticity and shooting accuracy of crossbows. According to the time spent on weapons research in the previous life, as long as he does not disclose the ready-made data and only relies on experimental improvements, it will take a long time!
The craftsman's workshop is currently making various agricultural machinery and equipment for his own farm, so there will be no shortage of work for a certain period of time.
This time when I go to Beiyukou, I am afraid that I can't bring any of the managers, Wen Bai, Wang Luanhe, Wang Jinlai and Wang Dongbei, with me. I can only bring a few people from the inner courtyard with me...
Wang Jinyi's thoughts were all on her arrangements for going out, and Wang Yueyi was chattering non-stop in her ears.
The mother patted her daughter's hand gently, reminding herself to answer Wang Yueyi's question, and Wang Jinyi came back to her senses.
Seeing Zhu Yu coming in with a box, he began to demonstrate checkers to Wang Yueyi. Wang Yueyi designed a bird migration pattern and played it using checkers rules.
Watching Wang Yueyi quickly get into the new game, clapping excitedly, and playing checkers immersively, Wang Jinyi had time to return to her mother and ask:
"My brother is taking part in the Autumn Examination. Does the family need to prepare anything?"
“No, your grandmother will have the public school prepare everything, and we don’t have to go to take the exam the day after tomorrow. Wendong will go with your cousin.
I don’t know when the clan will come to pick you up to Beiyukou. You may not be able to catch up with the announcement of the results. Wendong must want you to know his results...”
The mother touched her daughter's head with love and a little reluctance. Wang Jinyi took her mother's hand in hers and teased:
"I'm just going out for some fun. With so many people protecting me, nothing will happen to me. You can rest assured. I'll prepare my brother's provincial examination gift first. If I go to Beiyukou, mother will help me send it to my brother."
"it is good."
The mother sighed softly, and it sounded so heavy. Perhaps the mother had never walked so far in her life, and she was too worried about her daughter's safety on the road.
But Wang Jinyi, a modern soul, didn't care. In her previous life, she and Chen Zhiyuan traveled by backpack, specifically going to remote and special areas to experience life. The two wanted to go further together...
If Chen Zhiyuan also traveled through time in this life, this would probably be the longest journey the two of them have ever taken...
Wang Jinyi held his chin and fell into deep thought!
Wang Yueyi ran over with a bird-shaped checkers and gestured happily:
"Jin'er, I've learned it. Let's play a game, let's play a game!"
Wang Jinyi woke up from her contemplation and looked at her mother: "Sister, I'm not very good at it yet. You can play a game with my mother."
Wang Yueyi sat down angrily. Wang Jinyi took the opportunity to pull Zhu Yu and asked:
"Arrange for Bai Zhu to go to Beiyukou with me. Ask her to prepare some common medicines, and let her prepare the rest on her own."
After arranging Bai Shu, Wang Jinyi felt that it was time for Lu Chuan to get familiar with her daily routine. She might have to make some clothes for Lu Chuan...
Speaking of making clothes, Huo Ying specially took Chen Sanlang to make two bachelor's robes for Chen Sanlang to wear when he took part in the autumn examination.
This time when they entered Xunyang Prefecture, the Four Brothers Woodworking Workshop opened up sales channels. Custom-made designed furniture became popular, especially the French style, which was sought after by the powerful and wealthy.
Especially during this period, he was too busy to review his lessons. He was either asked to design on-site according to the client's requirements or to negotiate cooperation intentions. Although Huo Ying was the client now, every time at a critical moment, Huo Ying would pull Chen Sanlang to make the decision.
In fact, Huo Ying had never been to school and was illiterate. He was not a aggressive person when interacting with others. It was very difficult for him to communicate with businessmen. As for documents and contracts, they were like incomprehensible books. Not to mention tampering with the text, he could not understand them even without tampering.
The more successful the business was and the more money he made, Huo Ying felt that he had good vision. Among so many people he knew, he chose Chen Sanlang. Look, there is no aspect of the business that can be done without this scholar.
I have to respect him and find ways to get along well with him. The autumn examination is coming soon. Chen Sanlang's coarse cloth short gown doesn't look like that of a scholar. Scholars all wear official robes. He will enter the examination hall in two days, so I have to buy one for Chen Sanlang.
Chen Sanlang didn't care about all these external things. He went in and out of the bookstores in Xunyang City for more than a month. He was aware of the eyes of outsiders, but he was thinking about finding out the news about Wang Jinyi. In fact, he didn't go to any bookstores except a few.
