Chapter 235 Mother and Daughter Talk
Wang Jinyi pulled her mother's arm over, almost resting her head on her mother's arm, and said in a soft voice:
"Mother, this is a Taisheng rice shop that is going to open in Xunnan County under Xunyang Prefecture. I have opened rice shops in every county."
"Doesn't that mean there are more than twenty Tai Sheng rice shops?!"
"Mother, we have opened Taisheng Rice Shops in all the counties under the twelve prefectures."
Wang Jinyi spoke calmly, but her mother looked so surprised that she couldn't speak clearly.
"You, are you saying that there is a Tai Sheng Rice Shop in every county town in Daqi?!"
Wang Jinyi nodded with a smile.
My mother closed the account book and raised her voice in surprise: "Really? How many people are there?"
"There are probably more than 300 people with indentures in Tai Sheng!"
"So many people? You must be exhausted after all these years?"
Wang Jinyi thought, see? This is my real mother. She doesn’t care whether she makes money or not. She is just afraid that her children will suffer too much! Too busy!
Are you feeling very happy?
Wang Jinyi opened her arms and hugged her mother. Just as she was about to express her intimacy with her mother, she heard a shrill voice outside the window shouting:
"Monster! Monster, let mother go! Let her go now..."
The younger brother Wang Wenxin cried and looked around for things to smash the windows and the door. After the mother and Wang Jinyi looked at each other, they hurriedly pushed the door open and ran out. You have to know that the windows of this era were only covered with a layer of paper, which could not withstand the impact of stones. The wooden door was even worse, as it had deep holes left by the stones.
Wang Jinyi looked back at the door of her study, which presented an atypical beauty. She held her forehead with her hands, feeling that she was unable to appreciate it.
The mother ran over and hugged Wang Wenxin and asked:
"What are you doing? Why are you smashing your sister's study?"
The little fellow was panting with anger, and in his mother's arms he kept reaching out with a long branch, pointing at Wang Jinyi and shouting:
"Monster! The monster wants to harm my mother!..."
Since coming to this world, he is the first person to realize that he is a monster. He only realizes that he is a monster and doesn’t know that he is a monster who loves him. After all, he is his own brother!
Wang Jinyi held up three fingers, raised them above his head, looked at his younger brother and said formally:
"I swear, I swear I love my mother as much as you do..."
Before the monster-catching drama was over, someone came in from the front door of the second room. When she heard footsteps outside the screen wall, Wang Jinyi knew it was her brother who had returned.
Wang Wendong almost ran to stand beside his sister, leaving his brother on Wang Jinyi and taking down all the stones and leaves one by one, and asked in a low voice:
"What happened to Jin'er?"
Wang Jinyi looked at his brother helplessly and said:
"It's still about the monster! Just now I wanted to hug my mother in the study, and Wen Xin saw me. She probably thought I was going to eat her!"
As he said this he burst out laughing.
The elder brother also shook his head helplessly, looking at his angry brother and the mother who was in a dilemma, not knowing whether to be angry or laugh.
The mother looked at her youngest son intently and advised:
"This is my sister, not a monster."
Wang Wenxin pointed at Wang Jinyi with a confused look on her face and said:
"Everyone says she's a monster."
Seeing that her younger brother took her sister's name as another name for a monster, no one could explain it, so Wang Jinyi thought that she could give up correcting him. It was not bad to have a nickname called a monster!
Don't mention it, this is a good opportunity! I can use the excuse of the awkward relationship between the siblings to go out with the clan to Beiyukou to visit the completion of the Children's Primary School. If the plan is good, I can also sneak to Xunnan County to cut the ribbon for the opening of Taisheng Rice Shop!
Look, I am such a smart and capable little fairy!
Thinking that she could kill two birds with one stone and give her younger brother a chance to slowly adapt to the family and its people, Wang Jinyi whispered the clan's intentions in her brother's ear.
Wang Wendong looked at his sister with deep doubts, but did not say anything.
After the mother sternly reprimanded her youngest son, she looked back and saw her eldest son and daughter, whom she had not seen for six years, whispering to each other. She then pulled her youngest son over and asked:
"What happened?"
Wang Jinyi automatically ignored the angry younger brother, stopped holding his mother's hand, and deliberately kept a distance from her. He told her what the clan meant:
“Mother, do you remember? I signed the pencil contract with the clan, and you helped me read it.
At that time, it was said that the payment would be made every three months, and each time I funded a project. At that time, I proposed two projects: one was to help old scholars in remote areas to set up private schools to support their lives.
Another is to support the study of the children of low-ranking border guards.
I have a very good cooperation with my tribe members, and we can basically fund a project according to normal needs every time we settle accounts.
In the past two years, I have discussed with my clansmen and decided to build primary schools specifically for children in border towns. In order to avoid suspicion of private contacts between civil officials and military generals, the clansmen decided to only fund the construction of the schools, not participate in their management, not send Wang family members to teach, and try their best to get rid of ties with the military!
At the beginning of this year, the project reached the entrance of Beiyu Town. The tribe built a primary school for its children, and the tribe leader specially approved me to go and see the opening ceremony of the school.
He also said that he would send someone to pick me up when the time comes..."
The mother didn't expect the family to value her daughter so much, but on the contrary, she thought that her daughter had made money for the family and opened up the market for six years. This could be considered a special treatment for her daughter!
The mother weighed the pros and cons for a moment and said:
"Jin'er, you need to report this matter to your father, and also ask your grandparents for instructions.
You must handle this with caution, and don't let people feel that you are using the power of your clan to get special treatment at home."
Wang Jinyi told her mother that the clan elder had brought a letter from the clan to her grandfather. Her younger brother began to struggle in the opposite direction of Wang Jinyi and dragged her mother away. Her older brother had no choice but to take Wang Wenxin away first.
The mother freed herself from the protection of her younger son and persuaded her daughter not to be angry with her younger brother. Wang Jinyi smiled indifferently and asked her mother to go back to the study in the west wing.
As soon as you enter the study, you will see three three-year plans written by Wang Jinyi posted on the wall. They are all written in regular script with neat and elegant handwriting.
The mother sighed in her heart that her daughter had not stopped practicing calligraphy every day for 6 years, and she felt comforted that it seemed to be effective.
There are two scrolls of calligraphy hanging on the wall on the left, one high and one low. At a glance, they are exactly the same banners, but a closer look reveals that one is written in Liu style, with vigorous brushstrokes and a refined font, while the other copy of the three words "Tian Xing Jian" from the previous scroll. Although it is still written in Liu style, its font is vigorous and graceful, and it looks unrestrained and free.
The mother looked at the calligraphy on the wall, then looked at her daughter. It is true that the handwriting reflects the character of the person!
The mother stood in front of the handwriting she copied for a long time without saying anything, just looking at herself. Wang Jinyi asked anxiously:
"Mom, do you think my handwriting is okay now? Is it not that bad now?"
The mother reached out her hand lovingly and pulled her daughter to her side, hugged her shoulders and said:
"Look, your writing has begun to show some style. You still need to keep working hard, but now it's no longer a matter of whether it's good or not. It should be said that you are on the right track. With time, you will surely achieve some success!"
