Chapter 328: Not About Fame or Gain
Everyone looked towards the corner with puzzled eyes, and their eyes were even filled with curiosity.
Some people raised their eyebrows and glared, and some even had disbelief in their eyes. Feeling these gazes, Wang Jinyi felt extremely unwilling.
I was unwilling to accept the women of this era, and of course I wanted to speak for them, so I stood up calmly, gave a scholar's salute to everyone in the main hall, then raised my head, and a clear voice rang out in the main hall:
“My original intention was to make accessories that beautify women, and of course to make money.
When planning, my mind suddenly recalled those figures who were in the fire in the inn, rushing into the ruins, and fighting desperately with the northern barbarians.
I want to do something for their loved ones. Of course, it’s not just the few people who rushed into the fire, so I want to have this cooperation.”
After saying this, Wang Jinyi sat back in his original seat as if nothing had happened and remained silent.
When Fu Jiezhi's inquiring gaze swept over, Wang Jinyi gently lowered her eyes and put on a gentle look so as not to let anyone doubt her personality.
The elder turned the topic to the issue of soldiers' families entering the workshop.
Wang Jinyi coughed lightly and said slowly: "General Fu, if this matter is to be handled properly, there must be rules and regulations."
Fu Jiezhi nodded and motioned for her to continue.
“The initial income of the workshop is limited, so we can select the most needy family members first and divide the work according to their skills, for example: those who are good at women’s work and those who are not.
In the initial stage, different skills will be taught, and then they will be assessed and the best ones will be selected for recruitment.
In the early stages you can invite all disabled family members to participate in the study, so that everyone can have hope and know that someone has not forgotten the sacrifices made by their family and that there is another possibility in life.
I would like to ask, how many families like this are there? I hope to have a data, and then I can decide how to operate. "
After Fu Jiezhi heard this, a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes, "Miss, you are a very kind person."
Salute from a distance.
Wang Jinyi stared at Fu Jiezhi intently, but her thoughts had drifted away. She knew very well that if the matter of the workshop was handled properly, it would be of great benefit to the Wang family and the families of the soldiers in the city. However, she needed to plan carefully at the moment.
Fu Jiezhi seemed to have sensed Wang Jinyi's evasiveness, so he coughed lightly, breaking the silence, and said:
"Elder, I have come here to sincerely facilitate this matter. If the workshop is completed, the soldiers will no longer have to worry about the future. I would like to thank the Wang family for their generosity."
Upon hearing this, the elder of the clan said humbly: "All the soldiers fought with all their hearts, and we are just trying our best to help."
After a brief greeting, everyone.
Fu Jiezhi stood up to say goodbye, and all the members of the Wang family followed the elder and saw him out the door. Wang Jinyi was the last one to fall, standing in an inconspicuous position in the corner in front of the door, and followed them to see the guest off.
Mo Feng was tied to the hitching post in front of Wang's house. When he saw his master coming out, he snorted and pawed the ground lightly with his hooves.
Fu Jiezhi untied the reins, clasped his fists and said goodbye. At this time, Mo Feng saw a familiar friend in the crowd.
It walked forward, stretched its neck towards Wang Jinyi, and shook its head slightly.
Everyone in front of the door was attracted to this. Fu Jiezhi took two steps and pulled the reins of the horse. Mo Feng raised his head and called out.
Wang Jinyi didn't want to attract attention, but now that Mo Feng recognized her, he was not like humans who could hide their emotions. The horse sincerely invited her, and she couldn't continue to play dumb.
He simply squeezed out of the crowd, walked down the steps, and stretched out his hand to Mo Feng. Ma lowered his head wisely and even slowly walked forward with Fu Jiezhi.
Under everyone's surprised gaze, Mo Feng obediently put his head on Wang Jinyi's shoulder and rubbed it gently. Wang Jinyi smiled unusually brightly, hugged the horse's head, stroked the mane on the horse's neck, and talked softly.
Until Fu Jiezhi gently reminded while holding the reins:
"I have been bothering you for a long time today. I will take my leave now."
After hearing this, Wang Jinyi patted the horse's head and reminded Mo Feng softly:
"My friend, we will meet again some other day!"
Mo Feng raised his head and stared at Wang Jinyi with his beautiful big eyes, as if he understood.
Then Fu Jiezhi took the reins, Mo Feng turned around to look at Wang Jinyi again, and changed direction following its owner.
Fu Jiezhi was agile. He jumped onto the horse, clasped his fists in salute, and then drove away.
The tribesmen returned to their homes.
Wang Jinyi returned to Qinfangzhai. Her mother had been waiting for her in the yard for a long time. Wang Jinyi waved to her mother from afar.
The mother seemed stunned for a moment, then raised the hand holding the handkerchief and waved it in response.
Wang Jinyi took her mother to Qinfang Pavilion. After they sat down, her mother asked her daughter in detail:
"Jin'er, you've been gone for so long. What did you do in the main hall? What did you say?"
The mother seemed curious, but in fact she was afraid that something might happen to the girl.
As an adult who is almost 30 years old, Wang Jinyi immediately understood her mother's concern.
He described in detail the episode when he entered the main hall, and also talked about seeing Fu Jiezhi, the family received a reward, and finally happily told his mother that Mo Feng, who had saved him that year, recognized him...
The mother listened with concern and asked hesitantly:
"Jin'er, why are you working so hard to do all this? You know, it's very likely to be a thankless task.
Mother is asking you this question, and you need to answer it seriously: Are you doing this for fame? Or for profit?
Wang Jinyi smiled calmly, "Mother, sometimes we do things without regard to fame or gain. As long as we are happy and have a clear conscience, that's all."
"Why?" the mother asked.
“Fame is nothing but a vain attempt. Too much fame will only burden you and constrain you.”
Wang Jinyi thought as she spoke, trying her best to make her expression appropriate for her age.
“If you value profit too much, you will put all your energy into calculations.
But life is so short, and there are so many wonderful things. It’s not worth wasting time and energy calculating! ”
The mother still asked in confusion:
"Jin'er, isn't this for making money?"
“There’s no need to spend too much energy on making money. Compared to the good things in life, if I only care about making money, I will be too fussy.
Just like now, I will not give the opportunity to make money to anyone. I will draw the blueprints myself, take them home, and make samples in Zhen Workshop. This way, I can earn more!"
The mother nodded without comment, and Wang Jinyi continued:
“Initially, it was because my hair was too ugly to be seen in public that I thought of making hair accessories to make money. Setting up a workshop was a natural move, and the idea of launching products and helping others was also an afterthought.
"What mother meant by "for fame" is probably about helping others this time, right?"
The mother looked at her daughter lovingly and said nothing.
Wang Jinyi knew that her mother was afraid that if she said too much, she would hurt her child's feelings.
Wang Jinyi understood her mother's thoughts, smiled and said:
"Mother, I didn't plan it deliberately, and I didn't do it on purpose. You can rest assured."
But I have a deliberate obsession! I never let go, let's call it an obsession! This obsession is called Chen Zhiyuan!
