Chapter 125: Together in the World
Doctor Wang was puzzled at first when he saw the young man suddenly become excited, but when he heard that he was asking about the girl, he glared at Chen Sanlang fiercely.
He frowned and pulled Chen Sanlang's hand away. He ignored this "lecher" and only snorted:
"Humph!"
I thought to myself: I don't know what this is, it's just a jerk. Chen Sanlang was also a little confused by this series of treatments.
Looking blankly, Doctor Wang put away his tools and put them into the medicine box, then walked out angrily without looking back.
The people from the gambling house who were waiting outside the door led Doctor Wang to the inner hall.
Someone came in to take care of the chief steward.
Chen Sanlang had experienced a night of life-and-death fighting, taken care of the wounded for a whole morning, and served as an assistant to the surgeon. He was now exhausted.
I quietly found a quiet place in the yard and sat down.
A strange face came over:
"There's food in the kitchen, go eat. The shopkeeper told you to come back tomorrow."
It was almost evening, and the day had passed by unknowingly. A wave of fatigue came over him, and he dragged his heavy steps and walked into the cafeteria for the first time. He found a seat and sat down at random. As soon as he sat down, he felt weak all over. He didn't even want to move his arms, and he had no desire to eat!
Chen Sanlang took a long time to calm down, then sat down at the table and picked up the bowl and chopsticks with difficulty, but he fell asleep on the table after taking a few bites.
Everyone eating in the cafeteria had experienced the life-and-death struggle last night and had basically rested during the day. Now, they looked at the young man who had saved their lives, snoring with his thin body resting on the table. No one said a word, and everyone took their things and left the kitchen, chatting and eating outside.
Chen Sanlang slept soundly, and when he woke up, he felt much more relaxed.
The dinner was ready, and someone pushed Chen Sanlang.
"Eat it, I've got one portion for you."
Someone put a nest in front of him. Smelling the aroma of food, Chen Sanlang slowly opened his eyes. It was true that he was hungry after waking up.
Chen Sanlang smiled, picked up his chopsticks and started to eat voraciously. The people in the gambling house looked at the noble scholar and started to eat like him. They all started to make fun of him, and some even exaggeratedly imitated Chen Sanlang's snoring...
The kitchen became bustling. After dinner, Chen Sanlang had nowhere to go, so he had to sit alone in the yard. He took out the backpack that he had placed behind the side door, sat in the yard, and read a book in the little light available.
There was nothing I could do as the gambling house was closed today and the lights on the street corner were not on, so I could only read a book in the yard.
It was getting darker and darker. Chen Sanlang squatted at the kitchen door and continued reading in the light of the oil lamp shining through the window.
Finally, the lights dimmed and he could no longer see anything. Chen Sanlang closed the book and stood in the yard to stretch his muscles. He heard someone calling him:
"Hey! Reader, if you are tired, you can go inside to rest. The shopkeeper asked everyone to take care of you. Hey, are you going or not?"
"Okay! I'll be right there."
Chen Sanlang bent down, picked up his backpack, and put it behind him.
In the night, the stars cast countless rays of light, and the earth appeared in a cold and pure white color. Chen Sanlang looked up with the basket on his back. The sky was full of stars and the moon was shining brightly. The sky was high and the stars were shining.
Chen Shanlang walked into the main hall. A voice suddenly jumped out of his mind, and a few words emerged in his mind, "the stars in the night sky."
He stopped and froze for a moment, as if he had forgotten something. Chen Sanlang followed the path he had taken just now, walked back to the yard, and looked up at the vast starry sky...
… …
Wang Jinyi stood in the empty yard, looking at the bright stars in the sky, and thought of the realistic request he had just made to his grandfather...
I still remember my grandfather asking himself:
"Jin'er, do you have any other ideas?"
At the time, I said, “I want to get a share of the money.”
Grandpa and grandmother were stunned speechless. They never expected that there would be a little money-grubber in their family. But after a moment of stunned silence, the adults all laughed.
Especially my grandfather, he squinted his eyes and looked at me, and seemed to be stroking his forehead.
"Okay, Grandfather, I'll take note of it. Do you have any other requests?"
"Nothing."
"Grandfather asked you to borrow two people, Wenbai and Wang Jinlai. When the time comes, I'm afraid you will have to teach the people sent by the Wang clan how to make pencils. Do you agree?"
"Well, Grandfather Jin'er knows. If the Wang clan sends someone to learn, I promise to teach them until they learn it. Is that okay?"
Grandfather thought about what Wang Jinyi said and nodded, then looked at his granddaughter:
"Good boy, Grandfather will make it clear with the clan and will not let you suffer any loss. Are you relieved now?"
"Grandfather, does the clan have businesses in various parts of the dynasty?"
"What do you want? You want a shop?"
"No, I'm thinking of doing a couplet-collecting activity. Is that possible?"
"Child, no! The clan's business has nothing to do with us, so it's best not to get too involved, otherwise people will think we have some ulterior motives, which is not good.
Since you have no desire, you should stay away from others to avoid being suspected and entangled. "
Wang Jinyi thought for a moment and said: "Yes! That's right."
The entire Wang clan has been around for hundreds of years. It has many branches and a large number of people. There are all kinds of people here, so there is no need to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
What my grandfather said was the best way to do it, so I stayed away from him. Besides, my grandfather had thought it through very well, and I could sit at home and get paid, so what else could I complain about?
"Grandfather, I want my mother to help me with the accounts, and I also want the right to check the accounts!"
The grandfather smiled without saying a word, looking at this calculating child. He really didn't know how smart this little head was.
The grandfather looked at the child with encouragement.
"Grandfather, this is what I want to do. I want to agree on rights and obligations with the clan, and then agree on how much money I should get, how often I should be paid, and some other details. Grandfather, do you think this is okay?"
After listening to this, the grandfather turned his head and asked his second son: "Can you think of all these?"
Wang Shuli shook his head and smiled faintly:
"Father, I am not good at this."
After hearing his son's answer, the grandfather felt that no one in the entire Xunyang Wang family could think so carefully.
“I’m afraid I need to talk to the clan about this, and I’d better let them know in advance.
Jin'er, it's right to be thoughtful. It will avoid disputes in the future. As the saying goes, brothers should settle accounts clearly.
Good! Grandfather will explain your intentions to the clan clearly and will also help you write the rules and regulations. "
Wang Jinyi happily jumped off the big armchair, and her mother reached out to hold her daughter:
"You must know etiquette, don't act recklessly, and don't run around."
Wang Jinyi had no choice but to stand there obediently.
“Thank you, Grandpa!”
Then he looked up and added cheerfully:
"Grandpa, you are so nice. You are the best grandfather!"
Wang Minzhang’s eyes widened after hearing this. This comment from the child... ?
He quickly realized that he was praised for asking for money for his granddaughter, and he burst into laughter.
He stood up with laughter,
"Okay! I'll leave it at that. We'll talk more about it when things are more clear."
So, my grandfather strode out of the main hall under the starry sky.
Wang Jinyi stood in front of the main hall, held by her mother, looking at the stars in the sky, thinking of Chen Zhiyuan's shining figure in the galaxy...
Thinking silently, I am getting closer and closer to you!
