Chapter 144 Tears Blooming One After Another
Chapter 144 Tears Blooming One After Another
Mrs. Zong dipped the paper in ink and quickly wrote the headings of two pages. Then she pushed the paper in front of Wang Jinyi, walked behind the girl, held the child's hand, and taught her step by step to write the headings of the two pages of paper twice.
Writing is initially a muscle memory, which becomes imprinted in the brain over time. Wang Jinyi tried his best to write according to the head of the character, but he became more and more nervous as he wrote. In the end, he either forgot the strokes or his writing did not look like a character at all.
Wang Jinyi bit her lip, insisting, insisting, but she couldn't hold on. When drops of pearl-like crystal tears fell on the paper, slowly spreading the ink, it seemed like large freehand flowers blooming one after another.
The woman watched quietly, wondering how the girl would react, without saying anything.
Wang Jinyi wrote while crying. Tears blurred her eyes and she could not see clearly. She wiped away her tears with the back of her hand and continued writing.
The nurse promptly offered the handkerchief to the young lady. Wang Jinyi hugged the handkerchief tightly and blew her nose hard. The snot flowed into the nurse's handkerchief. Wang Jinyi put it directly on the table and continued to write. She cried, blew her nose, and wrote at the same time without affecting each other...
Finally, the two pages were finished. On Wang Jinyi's desk, there was a pile of handkerchiefs used to blow noses. Some were from the wet nurse, his own, the clan wives, Zhu Yu, and Qing Yu. In the end, even Qing'er, who came in, contributed her handkerchief.
The lady of the clan looked at Wang Jinyi, who was crying and writing, and nodded meaningfully. She felt that Wang Jinyi was so persistent at such a young age and never gave up when faced with difficulties. She praised him carefully, using only her own words:
“Confucianism is teachable.”
Wang Jinyi unexpectedly received some compliments, which relieved her mood from her recent emotional outburst.
I think Zongfu is still very cute. At least she praised me in a targeted way, which was somewhat helpful.
Mrs. Zong observed Wang Jinyi's reaction. Although the girl was very happy to hear the compliment, she did not get carried away. She had a comprehensive assessment of Wang Jinyi in her heart.
In the next few days, Wang Jinyi understood the essence of the Wang family's etiquette according to the requirements of the clan woman and mastered it quickly. In fact, after the assessment, the one-on-one training between Wang Jinyi and the clan woman ended.
These days, I was trying to figure out how Wang Jinyi would develop in the future so that I could report to the clan leader when I return. I also wanted to give some advice on Wang Jinyi's calligraphy.
In addition to that, I can play a game of chess with Wang Jinyi every day.
Playing Go is really time-consuming and affects Wang Jinyi's daily schedule. So she can only squeeze out time for one game a day, and she has to roughly see the trend of the game before one side has to give up a piece. If she really wants to continue playing to the end, it will take a long time.
After interacting with Wang Jinyi for some time, Mrs. Zong found that this girl is simply a perfect match. She is not flattering, she really likes this girl's intelligence and tenacity!
It was another morning, still sultry. Wang Jinyi put on her clothes according to etiquette and began her daily routine.
According to the daily routine, Wang Jinyi went to her mother's room to wait to memorize the chess records and then review the game with her mother. She sat in her mother's room and watched her put on makeup and see her father and brother off.
Wang Jinyi was swinging her legs, waiting leisurely for her mother to come back. At this time, the clan wife came in and saw Wang Jinyi swinging her legs apart. She told Wang Jinyi that women should always abide by the rules and etiquette, saying that this is the basis for women to survive...
Wang Jinyi never expected that there would be a debate session. Who is afraid of who? Let’s discuss it!
"Master, learning these rules is related to women's survival confidence, but it is not absolute. I think women's economic independence is the confidence of women's survival."
When the wife heard such a statement for the first time, she was somewhat surprised and found it somewhat novel, but she found it difficult to accept, so she asked back:
"What is women's economic independence? What does it mean?"
At this time, his mother pushed the door open and Wang Jinyi felt that he had said something too big and didn't know how to correct it. His mother came back to help him out.
After my mother bowed to the clan lady, she reviewed the chess game with Wang Jinyi and started a two-person match based on the review. As expected, my mother lost again and Wang Jinyi quickly ended the match.
Next, he played against Zong Fu. Before Zong Fu could give up a piece and admit defeat, Wang Jinyi gave up a piece himself and ended the game.
I have things to do today and no time to waste.
Wang Jinyi, followed by the wet nurse and Qingyu, turned out of the Haitang Second Gate and saw Wang Jinlai coming back and standing in the corridor of the main hall.
As Wang Jinyi walked towards him, he remembered Qingyu's somewhat frustrated resentment:
"Miss, we just made some money, and you spent 40 taels of silver on Wu Mei and Feng Jie. Do you know how hard it is to make money?"
After asking, Qingyu knew that she had overstepped her bounds. Looking at herself secretly, Wang Jinyi knew that although she was not poor now, she was indeed stretched to the limit and was in great need of money. Because of the lack of money, she could not expand her influence to find Chen Zhiyuan...
Wang Jinlai in front of him was bowing and saluting.
"Miss, East Market and West Market will exchange the missing person notices every other day as you requested.
Missing person notices were posted behind the notice boards at the four city gates. It was agreed that two cents would be paid every day, with each gate paying the same price every ten days. This was handled by Wang Jindong and I, and we both signed our names. "
This was a note written by the person who had negotiated the price. Both of them put their fingerprints on it. Wang Jinyi took a quick look and immediately remembered something.
"Wang Jinlai, you and Qingyu should keep a separate account book for this matter. Put this piece of paper in as a note, and then slowly hand it over to Wang Jindong."
"Yes, Miss." Wang Jinlai took his leave.
Today is the day for Wang Jinyi to meet with several clan leaders who came to learn the craft and take on the assessment. Tomorrow, grandfather will come to inspect the work.
Entering the main hall, Wen Bai, Wang Jindong and the clan leaders were already waiting. Wang Jinyi knew that if she wanted to convince the others at such a young age, she had to have the ability to make people admire her. Otherwise, if they respected her, it was because she was well-educated.
When it comes to being admired by others based on one's strength, Wang Jinyi said that she has the ability to do so.
He lowered his head and walked to the main seat, thinking about the next steps, then raised his head and said with a smile:
"Dear clan leaders, please find your own seats and sit separately. Mr. Wenbai."
Wen Bai was about to sit down when he heard the young lady calling him.
"Miss, Wen Bai is here."
Wang Jinyi glanced at Wenbai today. For some reason, Wenbai's attitude towards her has been changing every day since she started making pencils.
Is it because the popularity of pencils is beneficial to poor students? Or is it because of what I have done in these few contacts? Anyway, it was my original idea to conquer Wenbai and use it for my own benefit. Now it seems possible.
Wang Jinyi nodded with a smile:
"Mr. Wenbai, please give us a question."
Wen Bai opened the roll of paper in his hand. Wang Jinyi added:
"Wang Jindong, you will be the supervisor. Please ask the clan leader to choose a position and prepare for the exam."
Then he called again:
"Zhu Yu."
