Chapter 261 Entering the Main Hall
Chapter 261 Entering the Main Hall
Wang Jinyi was puzzled. Shouldn't her grandparents and uncle be reunited today? Shouldn't the men outside the hall be invited in? Why did they invite her into the main hall alone?
Just as I was wondering, my grandfather's voice came:
"Jin'er, your uncle brought back a few children. Everyone thought that you had too many workshops and might need people, so they asked you to see if you could find a place for the six children?"
Wang Jinyi hesitated for a moment and looked around. There were six little kids standing by the main hall door, so he asked:
"Can these children read? What have they done before? Do they have any special skills?"
Grandmother said angrily, "You just got here, how can you know so much? I'll leave it to you. You'll have to do the rest."
Wang Jinyi laughed when she heard this. Her grandmother knew that she had set up a free school, so she wanted to hand these children over to her. The rest was up to her to assess them.
Then he motioned to the boys, "Come here, all of you."
The boys looked at Wang Shuyan at the same time, and when Wang Shuyan nodded slightly, they held hands and walked to Wang Jinyi. Two of the boys were quite tall, already taller than the girl in front of them.
But Wang Jinyi's imposing manner, as she walked around them with her hands behind her back, actually made them a little nervous.
"What are your names?"
Third uncle Wang Shuyan said slowly:
"They were all orphans I picked up when they were still babies. I gave them their names in the mountains. Now that they are in the Wang family, they should be named by their masters."
Grandma also smiled and said, "Let's see what good names Jin'er can give them this time."
Wang Jinyi turned around and bowed respectfully to his uncle, then asked:
"Uncle San, do you have any requirements for naming them?"
"I picked up these children on the street. Most of them were already dying and had no family members around them, so I didn't know their names or where they were from."
Wang Jinyi was deeply touched. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that no matter what, he had to have a basic understanding of the person's personality before he could give a name.
I asked, "If you feel thirsty after running, do you want to drink warm water, cold water, or any water you can drink? Or if there is no water in front of you, you can hold on for a while and wait."
After saying this question, the six boys stared at the young lady in a daze. Wang Shuyan was also puzzled. Why did his niece ask a question about running? "Jin'er, why do you think of running?"
Seeing the grandparents in the hall, the two of them also looked curious and answered, "I want to know what each of their personalities are. Let them choose whatever they want."
Seeing that the six children were confused and didn't know what to do, Wang Jinyi asked the four answers again.
Based on the answers of the six people, they are divided into two basic personalities: one who is okay with anything, and the other who will make careful choices.
So he divided the six people into groups of three. After thinking for a while, he said to the group of boys he had carefully selected:
"Your names are Wang Wan, Wang Tu, and Wang Shirui."
After saying a few people's names, Wang Jinyi almost laughed out loud. He was so bad at naming that he could only resort to this method. These three people, one, two, and three, were still easy to remember.
He also named those who said anything was fine:
"You can call yourself Wang Yi, Wang An, and Wang Shan."
The two old men in the room and Wang Shuyan were originally thinking of the first set of names. Where did this Wang Shirui come from? This name sounds more like the name of a young man.
But after hearing the second group of names, everyone suddenly understood that the child named the three people 123 to save trouble.
Grandfather smiled gently and looked at grandmother, who was covering her mouth with a handkerchief. She thought that the child was really naughty, but she felt that the name was indeed not bad.
Only Wang Shuyan asked very seriously:
"How did Jin'er name the first group? Is it the same principle? What principle did she follow?"
Wang Jinyi felt that he had to tell the truth, because this man was an extremely smart person. If you didn't tell him, and one day he found out that you could speak a foreign language, that would be even more terrifying.
So she answered coquettishly: "I saw it in a book about foreign languages. Their numbers are called one, two, three, four, five, etc."
"Don't say that Jin'er's pronunciation is correct. I've also come into contact with foreigners and heard them say the same thing..."
Wang Shuyan looked deeply at his niece, nodded slightly and asked:
"Jin'er, will you say anything else?"
Wang Jinyi's brain was spinning rapidly. Should I say yes? Or should I say no? I should know when to say yes and no!
"It's a travelogue. It only contains a small part about language, and the content is not complete."
Grandfather said with pride:
"Shuyan, you don't know, this child is very similar to you when you were a child. When he sees a book that interests him, he will study it on his own. After studying it, he will summarize it and tell others about it."
"Your mother and I are learning the Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art from this child. She has become our teacher. This child will learn it by herself first and then teach us.
He can also give us questions to solve, and if we don’t know how to solve them, he will explain them to us.”
At this point, Grandfather asked:
"Jin'er, have you finished revising the homework you handed in last time? Did Grandfather do it correctly?"
Wang Jinyi felt a little embarrassed to receive such praise. He knew how hard it was for him to learn advanced mathematics back then. How could he say that he taught himself if he was learning it again now?
I felt guilty for receiving such a compliment, and replied timidly:
“Grandparents are the best students in the world.”
Seeing that her granddaughter was avoiding the main point, the grandmother said:
"Take them away. They are yours from now on. You are responsible for their food, clothing, shelter and transportation. All expenses will be paid from your account. Remember?"
Wang Jinyi pretended to be dissatisfied and said coquettishly: "Grandma is attracted by Jin'er's little money. I don't know that Jin'er's money can't catch up with so many people's spending."
But the grandmother refused: "I heard that you started making toys again recently. The toys you make now are..."
At this point, the grandmother paused and looked at the grandfather, who then continued:
"The last time someone from the tribe came, they said that it was the intellectual toy you were researching, and they were going to sign a separate contract with you. This time, they are going to increase the share by one point as your reward."
Wang Jinyi was overjoyed when he heard this. "Really? Grandfather, it seems that I should think carefully about what better ways I can help the clan develop to make money."
"These are enough. They are enough to help the clan support the Wang family's students. You should also calm down and complete your own assessment."
When the grandmother heard this, she quickly said, "Her test answers have been delivered. You have been tutoring the children for the exams these days and I haven't shown them to you. Take a look when you have time."
Grandfather said, "Send someone to get it, and let Shuyan judge it."
After Wang Jinyi saw a stack of test papers being brought in, her grandparents and third uncle each took a few and passed them around.
