Chapter 146 Where are you?
The ancients liked to give gifts for solar terms, so just be careful with your gifts!
Ever since he lost Ouyang Wenche's gift, Wang Wendong dared not let go of anything easily. After practicing sword skills, he came back with the peach wood sword. Seeing that Wang Jinyi's door was open, he stood outside the door and called out:
"Jin'er, are you awake? It's me!"
Wang Jinyi was just lamenting how dizzy she was when she heard her brother calling her from outside the door. Before she could even clean her face, she turned her head with water droplets all over her face and shouted to the outside:
"Brother, I'm washing my face, please wait for me for a moment. I want to see you!"
"Okay, don't worry, I'll wait for you."
After saying this, Wang Wendong sat down on the stone bench in the yard, holding the newly made peach wood sword in his arms, looking at the clear sky, and waiting for his sister silently.
At this time, the maid at the second gate came and reported:
"The master and the old lady came in."
Wang Jinyi hastily combed her two little hairs and followed her mother, followed by her brother who had not yet washed and was holding a small wooden sword, to the front hall.
Grandfather and grandmother were already sitting in the main hall drinking tea, with father sitting beside them. Mother and her two children came in, greeted each other and then took their seats.
Grandfather's leisurely and authentic way:
“I came here early today because I have two things to say. First, after the book ceremony exam, I’m afraid there will be some arrangements in the clan.
Second, Jin'er and Zong signed a pencil cooperation agreement, and the clan has agreed.
Regarding the cooperation between Jin'er and the clan in publishing the book, the clan will send someone to Xunyang Prefecture to finalize the matter. Do you still want to participate?"
Wang Jinyi shook his head firmly.
"No! It's still the same two things: help poor scholars to make a living by opening a private school, and help the children of low-ranking generals on the border to study.
This has to be written in the contract of cooperation between the clan and me. The cost of manpower and material resources can be paid from my share of the money, and the rest will be given to me as agreed, and the actual expenses will be reimbursed.
Is this okay, Grandfather?
Wang Jinyi asked while looking at his grandfather who was sitting in the upper seat.
Both the grandfather and grandmother looked over with satisfaction. The little girl, who had not yet done her makeup, casually combed her hair into two small buns. Her fluffy hair shone in the morning light, like the light emanating from her little head.
"Grandfather, may I add something?"
"Jin'er, do you have any other requests?"
"Every time the clan completes a project, I will arrange for my people to go and check the expenses and accounts. Grandfather, if I do this, will people say that I don't trust the clan?"
“Only fools and idiots have absolute trust. No matter what we cooperate on, only by agreeing on it beforehand can we avoid disputes afterwards. We must know that people’s hearts are fickle. In the face of time and money, no one can say that they will not change. Even if the treaty is written on paper, it cannot be trusted!
Jin'er, your request is supported by Grandfather! You did the right thing, Grandfather has made a note of it for you, is there anything else?"
"Grandfather, what can I write that can be printed in Chongwenfang?!"
"Jin'er has such great ambitions, which is a blessing for the Wang family of Xunyang. However, you are unable to write academic or political works now. You can try to write a few poems and submit them to Chongwenfang.
Every year, Chongwenfang collects poems from the public for selection. If they can be compiled into a book, it will be fine.
Jin Er's opening poem in "The Knight-errant" and "The Hermit" are both good. "
My father took out the copied "The Steed" and gave it to my grandfather. After reading it, the old man shook his head.
"This is a bit too arrogant. I don't know what Jin'er wanted to write or what he meant."
Wang Jinyi couldn't explain and just said four sentences, which were recorded by Qingyu. He was afraid that if he said that, would it make people feel that he was as arrogant as the horse he wrote about? !
When it was bright, my grandfather said before leaving:
"I will come to inspect your 'teaching guarantee until you learn it' tonight!"
Wang Jinyi thought: My grandfather would be satisfied with the results of the craftsmen from the clan learning to make pencils.
After seeing off grandfather, grandmother stayed with mother to meet the wife of the clan leader.
When Wang Jinyi finally saw her brother off, she took his hand, hung the first necklace she had made with colorful silk threads on the string of his school bag, and whispered in his ear:
"Brother, happy birthday!"
Wang Wendong originally bent his waist and legs to accommodate Wang Jinyi's height, and lowered his head to listen to his sister whispering in his ear. He didn't expect it to be such a sentence. After a moment of surprise, he smiled, then gently stroked his belt, looked at his sister who was more than a head shorter than him with a smile, and happily followed his father to go to school.
Wang Jinyi stood in the front yard, feeling the comfort of the cool autumn air, and found that the annoying cicada chirping had suddenly disappeared. The wind blew across her cheeks, and her hair moved slightly. Autumn had come.
Wang Jinyi has been in this world for two seasons. He lowered his head and thought, what have he done in all this time?
I have thought of many ways to find Chen Zhiyuan, but so far I have only taken one step, which is to write a script and sign it with "Stars in the Night Sky".
The name had indeed spread, but he didn't know how far it had spread, and he didn't know whether Chen Zhiyuan could see it.
Originally, I wanted to open a rice shop and look for Chen Zhiyuan, but now my idea only exists at Tai Sheng Rice Shop.
My own business has just begun, and family issues are at hand. My father will leave home after the exam, and there must be a trustworthy person by his side. Just a servant like Wang Bing is not enough.
Since Wang Jinlai is his father's book boy, he should follow his father. Moreover, he is very capable and helpful. Wen Bai is very useful in writing and organizing manuscripts. The two of them should follow their father, but Wen Bai's status as an official slave...
Wang Jinyi was thinking as he walked towards his mother's room. When he entered the hall and saw his grandmother, clan wife and mother were all there, he bowed to them all, took the "Fourth Volume of Chess Manual" that his mother had arranged, and went back to his own west room.
Because of the arrival of grandmother that day, the clan wife and mother were busy with something, and Wang Jinyi seemed to have much more free time.
Thinking about everything he has done so far, he has just started. He does not know when the search for people will have results, and he is slightly silent. How big is the Great Qi Dynasty, how many prefectures are there,
"where are you?"
Alas, the road ahead is long and arduous! Chen Zhiyuan, where are you?
Wang Jinyi stared into space in a daze, Zhu Yu pushed the door open and came in.
"Here I am! I have brought the booklet that Mr. Wenbai copied. He also gave me a page and asked me to hand it to you personally."
Wang Jinyi took them in his hands and flipped through the booklets, which recorded the pen-making process and some data in detail. Wang Jinyi marked them and put them in his drawer, then unfolded the folded page.
This is a clearly labeled relationship diagram of the Wen family. In order to facilitate identification, Wen Bai marked the relationships of the characters by generation in a genealogical manner. The only difference is that there are girls here too!
