Chapter 180 Farewell
Wang Jinlai finally tried carefully and asked:
"Miss, the Zhao family has agreed to go to Kushui Mountain for a year. The Zhao couple will take their children with them. The eldest son of the Zhao family, Zhao Sanzhu, will not go and will stay at home to take care of the family business."
Although Wang Jinyi was still considering how to make use of Zhao's talents, he asked casually:
"How is Zhao's health?"
"I heard from Bai Shu that the young lady arranged for her to treat Zhao's health. Bai Shu only used a few doses of medicine, and she felt much better. She is no longer as sick as when I first saw her."
Wang Jinyi thought that it was okay to let Zhao go to Ku Shui Mountain first. After all, Ku Shui Mountain and the capital city would have to communicate frequently in the future, and he could send his design drawings to Zhao if necessary.
The most urgent task now is to determine the management team for Ku Shui Mountain. I don't have anyone, and my mother can't find anyone for the time being. If I cooperate with the clan, I am unwilling to hand over my property to the clan. I am really struggling inside.
Wang Jinyi opened the small notebook he carried with him and wrote it down formally: Cooperation with the tribe?
Then he asked:
"Anything else?"
"Miss, Fuling has revised your design. I brought a copy with me. If there are no problems, we will start working according to it when we get there."
Wang Jinyi took the blueprint, which was still a sketch of the building rendering, clearly marking the size of the house, the direction of the house, etc.
"Miss, is this picture okay? Any other instructions?"
"Wang Jinlai went to settle accounts with Qingyu first, and then Wang took away 100 taels of silver as a fund for building a house in Kushui Mountain, for initial use."
"Miss, Qingyu gave me 100 taels. I will make good plans and manage them well."
Wang Jinyi looked at Wang Jinlai seriously and said word by word:
"Wang Jinlai, I really want you to stay with me, but you have more important things to do. You should explain to Wang Jindong and tell him my thoughts. You must straighten things out at the beginning and let him take charge of Kushui Mountain temporarily. You must come back in seven days."
Wang Jinyi made up her mind. Wang Jinlai was indeed capable of doing things, but her father needed this person more. Wang Jindong was the only available person in her hands. She didn't know his ability, so she could only try to use him.
Wang Jinyi took out the small notebook again and wrote three words in pencil - Kushui Mountain. After thinking for a while, he drew a question mark under the three words.
"Wang Jinlai, when you go, go to the mountain and see why it is called Kushui Mountain. If possible, bring back some stones or something you think is particularly valuable.
By the way, last time I planned to let you buy a car, you should buy a mule cart before you leave. "
Wang Jinyi arranged everything in detail, and finally felt that there were no omissions, so Wang Jinlai withdrew from the main hall...
Wang Jinyi was thinking about how to make the design into a series when she heard someone at the door announce:
"Miss, madam is here."
The mother entered the main hall and dismissed all the servants. Wang Jinyi jumped down from the chair as soon as he saw her, waiting for her instructions, and asked anxiously:
"Mother, did Jin'er do something wrong again?"
The mother looked at her daughter who started dealing with a lot of things as soon as she entered the main hall. In just one hour, the maids outside the door came four or five times to report one thing after another, which surprised her more. Later, the mother simply couldn't sit still and came directly to the normal place, wanting to see what she could do to surprise him more.
The mother tactfully expressed that she had never let the maid eavesdrop,
"Mother just passed by the main hall and wanted to come and see what Jin'er was busy with."
Wang Jinyi scratched his head and thought about it. Whenever he passed through the front yard, he could be considered to have passed through the main hall.
Wang Jinyi's little brain was spinning rapidly, wondering what she had done to attract her mother. However, she really needed to talk to her mother.
"Mother, I've bought the bitter water mountain, Poria cocos and Atractylodes macrocephala, but I still need an experienced manager."
The mother asked, "What kind of manager do you want?"
"Well, I'll think about it and tell mother when I'm done."
"Jin'er is going to publish a collection of poems?"
"'Song of the Evening Picking'?"
Wang Jinyi explained seriously:
“It’s a poem I read in a book.”
She tried to recite Li Bai's "Song of the Wine". Before reciting other works, the mother pulled her daughter into her arms:
"Jin'er, can you write poetry? This poem is so good! I'll help you write it down."
As he spoke, he walked to the desk and began to grind ink. Wang Jinyi quickly told the truth.
"Mother, this is a poem written by a man called Li Bai. I have read it and memorized it. I have just asked Wen Bai to memorize it. I will sort it out in the next few days and give it to you for proofreading."
The mother stopped when she heard her daughter say this, but her joy was beyond words. The mother was convinced that her daughter had the talent to write poetry, and this continued from that moment until the next morning when she was learning the Book of Poetry.
"Reeds are lush and green, white dew turns to frost. The so-called sweetheart is on the other side of the water. I go back to follow her, but the way is long and obstructed. I swim back to the edge of the river, and she seems to be in the middle of the water..."
A beautiful picture appeared in Wang Jinyi's mind: a misty autumn morning, a scholar was standing by the river, looking at the river water under the reeds, and a beautiful woman was standing across the water from him...
She kept reciting along with her mother as she thought. In the early autumn morning, the quiet voice of the young lady reading could be heard again in Zongxing Lane. Everyone who came to the old house knew that the young lady had started to make progress again.
In fact, from this point of view, even the wet nurse admires the young lady. The young lady is born to be a master. She can learn anything and can do anything well.
Zhu Yu reminded her twice softly outside the door, but the nurse was distracted and didn't hear her. It was Qing'er who quietly came in and whispered in the mistress' ear:
"Madam, the master and the old lady are here in the main hall, and they brought an elder with them."
Wang Jinyi thought that if it really came, she would be lucky to have been prepared. Otherwise, how would she explain the change of the script she had originally given to the clan to print?
The mother put the letter in her folder and took her daughter to meet the visitor.
After entering the main hall and bowing, I took my seat. My grandfather introduced me:
"This is someone sent by the clan leader to deliver something to you. He wants to see you in person and get your opinion on something."
Wang Jinyi quickly stood up respectfully.
"Master, you have worked hard."
The man looked to be in his 40s, wearing a round-necked cloth robe and a turquoise clan emblem on his belt. He spoke gently,
"Wang Jinyi, according to seniority, your grandfather is my cousin, so you should call me your great-grandfather."
After saying this, the visitor stopped and looked at Wang Jinyi. This time Wang Jinyi reacted and quickly called out to the visitor:
"I wish my great-uncle good health. Jin'er greets you."
This time they were supposed to recognize their relatives and perform the grand ceremony, but the visitor and grandfather stopped him. Wang Jinyi saw that they all laughed heartily, "Hahahaha".
