Chapter 238 How big is the world?
Grandfather read the note, thought for a while and asked:
"What does Jin'er think?"
"Is there something going on here, Grandfather? I don't know! Is there any connection?"
"You're the most thoughtful kid I've ever met, and that's right.
But this time, the tribe leader asked you to evaluate your attitude. Just treat it as an ordinary barren mountain, and do whatever you want!"
Wang Jinyi understood. It turned out that the clan knew that there was a salt mine in the back mountain, and that they would hand it over to the court. Perhaps it was because his grandfather gave the credit to the Wang family that the clan wanted to acquire the mountain.
After understanding this, Wang Jinyi nodded and said:
"Grandfather, I bought the mountain and did the preliminary construction. If I sell it again, I should have a purpose, or sell it only when I can make money. Do you think this is the truth?"
Grandfather didn't expect that such a child would figure out the key to the mountain after he just said one sentence and treated it as an ordinary mountain. He said with relief:
"Jin'er did the right thing, and what she thought was right!"
My father was listening to the charades and finally couldn't help asking:
"Father, can I ask what's so strange about this mountain?"
Grandfather said cryptically:
"There is a mine on this mountain. Jin'er bought this mountain by accident and later discovered this mine. Now she wants to hand it over to the tribe for management."
The father looked at the old man and the young man with a confused look, and nodded without comment:
"The clan wants to take over, this is the best."
When Wang Jinyi saw this, she thought, since they were talking about the clan, she should take care of the thing that she was most concerned about while the parents were all here.
"Grandfather, father, the primary school that I have built in cooperation with the clan in Beiyukou is about to be completed. The clan leader has specially approved that I can go and see it, and he said that he will write to you to tell you about it.
I have never been out of the house, and I want to know who I should bring with me and what I should prepare for.
"The clan intends to let Jin'er attend the opening ceremony of Beiyukou Primary School, but the journey is long and Beiyukou is a border town, so we should consider carefully before making a decision."
When Wang Jinyi heard this, she knew that this matter was in jeopardy and her only chance to go out might be ruined!
The clan leader had given special approval, and the nine clan elders had jointly discussed and decided to get such an opportunity to go out. I must strive to make the trip a success. Thinking of this, Wang Jinyi asked:
"Grandfather, how big is your empire? What is the world like outside Xunyang City?
Besides you, what are the others like? Why does Uncle San like to travel around? Are there so many orphans out there? What is Border Town? What is the elementary school I spent money to build like? Who are the people studying there? What is the point of all the things I do? ! "
The grandfather and father were stunned after listening to the series of questions and did not answer for a long time. The child really wanted to attend the opening ceremony of the primary school.
"Yes, how big is the world? Who are the students in the school that our Jin'er has invested in with all his hard work and money?"
Grandfather silently repeated Wang Jinyi's words, his voice becoming lower and lower, his tone becoming longer and longer, and finally he seemed to strengthen his confidence.
“Jin’er, what you mean is that the world is so big, you have to go out on your own, you have to meet the people who are studying in the school you worked so hard to build.
Grandfather understands what you mean and will make arrangements for Jin'er. You just need to take care of your own people, and the other grandfathers will contact the clan members, and you just need to wait to go out!"
The grandfather had made up his mind, and the father wanted to stop him, but his daughter asked a few questions and the matter was resolved. As a son, he couldn't object, but just looked at his old father silently, and was convinced by his daughter after just a few words.
On the way back to the second house, Wang Jinyi was thinking: This trip allows me to see the Daqi Dynasty with my own eyes, and I can also create an opportunity to go to Xunnan to cut the ribbon for the opening of the last Taisheng Rice Shop. Just thinking about it makes me happy!
The father and daughter each had their own thoughts along the way. The mother was waiting in front of the gate of the second courtyard with a lantern. The father held the mother with one hand and the daughter with the other and walked into the second courtyard.
The father took the mother and daughter into the main hall. It was already late, so Huang Xing poured half a cup of warm water for each of the masters and went outside the door to wait for the call.
The father remained silent. Wang Jinyi guessed: the father had too many questions to ask, but probably didn't know where to start!
He simply started by talking about the special features of Kushui Mountain, and then talked about finding the crystal stones in the salt mine. His parents listened quietly, and then he said that his grandfather seemed to have been hiring people to explore. Wang Jinyi stopped and looked at his parents, holding his chin...
My father whispered, "It's better to let the clan handle it! Discuss the rest with your grandfather and don't make decisions on your own..."
The father reminded his daughter again:
"Jin'er, you need to sort out all your people in Kushui Mountain. Do they have a place to go when they come back? If they can't be settled, let them go to the second house's farm first.
Go to Beiyukou and settle your affairs. I remember you have a maidservant, take her with you. Don’t leave her alone during this journey. Safety is the most important thing…”
The father talked a lot in a long-winded way, and Wang Jinyi summed it up in one sentence: All the nagging was out of love for herself!
Wang Jinyi was an adult soul after all, and could sense her parents' worries, so she cleared her throat and called out softly, "Sister Feng, are you there?"
The door was gently pushed open, Feng Mei walked in silently, stood by the door and asked:
"Miss, did you call me for something?!"
Seeing her mother suddenly stand up, with a look of disbelief in her eyes and forgetting words for a moment, Wang Jinyi knew that she was frightened.
Quickly explained:
"Don't be afraid, Daddy and Mommy. This is the younger sister of the two maidservants who follow me. Her name is Fengmei, and the other one is Fengjie.
You won’t see them on weekdays. I’m never alone. They take turns following me.
Don't worry, they are good at martial arts, I will be safe with them around."
Although the parents were unwilling to trust Wang Jinyi, they felt more at ease knowing that there was someone protecting their daughter.
The two relieved parents repeatedly reminded Wang Jinyi to pay attention to this and that, and then advised the child to go back to his room and rest early.
Fengmei opened the door and followed the young lady to the west wing. She thought the young lady would go back to the bedroom, so she could go back to rest as well. It was time for Fengjie to keep watch.
Unexpectedly, Wang Jinyi turned into her own study. Feng Mei hid in the shadow outside the study door. Through the paper on the window, she saw the young lady discussing something with Mo Yu under the lamp. When she left, she reminded her:
"Mo Yu must separate the people from Ku Shui Mountain according to their indentures tonight and arrange for them to return to the farm in batches. Remember to notify me immediately when Wang Jin comes back."
Mo Yu sent the young lady out and stood at the door and answered:
"Yes, Miss. I will make sure to sort out the list tonight and give it to you for inspection tomorrow morning."
There were still many things to do that day, but it was already too late, and Wang Jinyi stood alone under the starry sky in the autumn night.
