Chapter 254 Elixir
Wang Jinyi focused all her attention on the exam, just wanting to finish it as soon as possible so that she would have time to hand over the matter to her mother. Ever since she told her grandmother that she wanted to find partners for several of her managers, her grandmother has not responded yet.
As he thought and wrote, his writing slowly changed from regular script to cursive script. He realized that his writing was too sloppy and that his mother might not approve it, so he slowly calmed down and started writing again in regular script.
After listening to his mother's story about the elixir, Wang Wenxin seemed to understand. With a worried look on his face, he walked hesitantly to his mother's side.
Standing on tiptoe, he reached for it and whispered in his mother's ear:
"Mother, my sister and I are both monsters who can read, right?"
The mother didn't know how to answer for a moment, and her unintentional silence made Wang Wenxin misunderstand that this was her consent.
His face was filled with shock after learning the shocking secret. Everyone in the room was immersed in their own affairs, and no one noticed Wang Wenxin who followed the nanny out.
The story of the elixir created a beautiful misunderstanding.
In the next few days, Wang Jinyi not only had to be chased by her mother every day to take exams, but also had to step up the handover with her mother and arrange a trip to Beiyukou every day! She was busy like a spinning top.
Wang Wenxin thought that he was also a "monster", so he imitated his sister. He got up early every day, went back to the second yard from the front yard, and drew and learned "Hundred Family Names" with his mother. Seven days later, because of his good performance, his mother took him back to the second yard.
It’s over, the short “exile” from the back house to the front yard, Wang Wenxin has returned with honor!
It just so happened that my mother started testing us on the Book of Songs yesterday. The recitation part of the test lasted for two days in a row. Today, my mother directly gave us the question: write a poem on the theme of summer.
A ready-made poem popped into his head, and Wang Jinyi wrote it down in one stroke with a large amount of ink:
The green trees are long in the dark summer, and the terrace reflects into the pond.
The crystal curtain moves in the breeze, and the whole yard is filled with the fragrance of roses.
After finishing the assessment, Wang Jinyi rushed to the front yard to talk to his steward.
Solving the personal problems of the three external courtyard managers was Wang Jinyi’s plan before going to Beiyukou.
What my grandmother meant was to let them resolve the issue internally, which meant finding a suitable candidate from among their own people.
Wang Jinyi's talks with Wen Bai yesterday were not smooth. It can be said that Wen Bai refused to discuss marriage and made it clear that he did not want to get married. No matter how much persuasion he did, it was useless. Wang Jinyi finally gave up and let him do as he pleased!
I should talk to Wang Luanhe today, but I don't know what the result will be. Wang Jinyi, with the wish of Yue Lao, waited for the attitude towards the Queen Mother. Alas! It was her own fault.
After entering the accounting office in the front yard, Chunfen and Xiayu followed him into the house and waited for orders inside, while Qiushi and Dongyue were waiting outside the door to be called.
Wang Luanhe arrived early, and it looked like he had packed up specially for today:
He was wearing a purple straight-leg gown with a wide belt of the same color embroidered with gold thread, with a jade family crest hanging from the belt. His black hair was tied up with a jade hairpin.
He looked tall and handsome, but his expression was a little shy. He had an awkward smile on his face and was too embarrassed to look at the lady.
Wang Jinyi knew without asking that he and Wen Bai lived in the same courtyard. Wen Bai must have told her yesterday that he had arranged a blind date for them. It seemed that Wang Luanhe and Wen Bai had different attitudes towards this matter.
Wang Luanhe was dressed a bit formally today. He even wore the steward's new robe, which showed that he was taking the matter seriously.
If that's the case, it's easy to deal with. Wang Luanhe is also an orphan from Huaguo Mountain. Let them choose to stay or go. He asked to be a servant in the Wang family.
When he first entered the mansion, he followed the old steward Wang Qian as an attendant. Over the years, he became smart and cautious, and never acted on his own. It was because of his qualities that his mother brought him in and asked him to run errands for her daughter in the outer courtyard.
During the years of running errands for the young lady, he grew from a permanent servant to one of Wang Jinyi's best assistants.
Since you want to seek benefits for your own people, you have to understand his thoughts. Wang Jinyi sat down and said:
"Manager Wang, you take a seat too."
"Oh, miss, you can't say that. It's killing me. Just let me stand here and tell me what you need."
"Wang Luanhe, where is your hometown? Is there anyone else at home?"
"Miss, I don't remember where I am from anymore. I was kidnapped by human traffickers. I ran away many times along the way. Later, they beat me until my head was bleeding and my arms and legs were all broken. They thought I was going to die and wanted to dig a hole and bury me.
Wang Dongbei happened to be passing by at the time, and the traffickers saw that he was alone and wanted to kidnap him, but he stabbed two traffickers and scared them away. It was Wang Dongbei who led me and found Huaguo Mountain, and I was saved. "
"Then why are you called Wang Luanhe?!"
"When Third Master named us, he asked us to think about our hometown. If we couldn't remember, we should recall the places we remembered.
All I can remember is the Luan River where my mother took me, and my third uncle named me Wang Luanhe.
"Can you still remember your family and your parents?"
"The kidnapper seemed to have drugged me, so I can't remember anything. Third Master guessed based on our accents that I'm probably from Jizhou Prefecture."
"Don't be afraid if you don't miss home. As long as you live well, your family will be at ease. Do you still remember your age?"
"Miss, I don't remember. At that time, the Third Master guessed that I was five or six years old. After I recovered from my injuries in the mountains for three years, I came to the mansion to be a permanent attendant. Later, I worked with Miss."
"Do you think you are over 18?"
When Wang Luanhe heard the young lady ask this, he blushed, nodded, and replied in a low voice: "I guess so."
When Wang Jinyi saw this shy look, she thought back to when she first fell in love, her ignorant feelings at that time, and Chen Zhiyuan at that time...
The room fell into silence as he was in a trance. Wang Luanhe looked at the young lady and stammered, "Young lady..."
Wang Jinyi came back to his senses and asked with the corners of his lips raised: "Do you have someone you like?
Wang Luanhe was stunned at first, then he clenched his hands awkwardly, pursed his lips tightly, and stood there not knowing how to conceal his emotions. He felt a little embarrassed to speak for a long time.
When Wang Jinyi was about to give up listening to the answer, she actually heard the answer.
"Miss, I like the maidservant who always follows you. She is the one who rescued me from the bandit's den two years ago.
I can't forget that she carried me on her back for more than 20 miles through the mountains and forests and saved my life. I want to treat her well for the rest of my life..."
Wang Jinyi really knew this.
This has to start with the profit sharing between Wang Jinyi and the Wang family.
At that time, Wang Jinyi received his share of the profits from making pencils every three months. He used a portion of the proceeds to support an old scholar who had no source of income to open a private school. The clan was responsible for the preliminary investigation and determining the support personnel, and Wang Jinyi had the power of supervision and sent people to inspect the use of his money every year.
In the autumn of the year before last, Wang Luanhe was sent to inspect Yuzhou Prefecture, but he has not returned for a long time.
