Traveling through the starry sky just for you, I was a koi in ancient times
Chapter 31: Becoming famous
Everything that happened in the main house in the courtyard of the second house naturally could not escape the eyes of the guards with the character "Yun" in their names. Ouyang Wenche listened to the guards who were taking over the shift and reporting what happened in the Wang family today.
He just casually looked up from the book, not taking it seriously at all, thinking it was just something that happened in the backyard of the house he was staying in.
The grandfather, who also thought it was a matter of the harem, flipped through the seven stories written by his granddaughter. Since he had promised his granddaughter, he used the free time after dinner to flip through her work.
After reading a few short stories, I asked the grandmother who was pouring tea for me:
"Have you seen it?"
"I read half of it when it was delivered last night, and finished it this morning."
As the grandfather watched, he asked, "What do you think?"
Grandmother picked up the teacup and sipped slowly:
"I think this kid looks like the third child."
Grandfather looked up: "What do you mean?"
“You don’t know what you have been doing in the government house.
The child has already begun to learn and can recite a lot of books. I heard from the servants that every morning in the second house's courtyard, the sound of the child reciting books can be heard.
A few days ago, I made a lot of jokes because I had to set up my own accounts. "
My grandfather put down the manuscript, picked up the teacup and drank tea with his old wife.
The grandmother continued:
“Your granddaughter discovered that all the money in the account was public property, and she was afraid of having to pay compensation if it was damaged, so she decided to tie up everything in the house.
Send someone to Curry to get the rope."
"Is there such a thing?"
"Maybe the child felt that everything he had would be lost, so he decided to write a book and sell it for money!"
"Hahaha, hahaha..."
Grandpa and grandma laughed heartily.
A happy smile also filled Wang Jinyi's face. Not only was she her brother, but she also happily called herself "Jin'er, Jin'er..."
Make yourself feel less guilty.
There was also a message from the upper room saying that his grandfather wanted to see him.
This time, the family hurriedly finished their meal, and Dad picked up Wang Jinyi, followed by Mother, and went to the upper room.
The grandmother saw her second son and his family rushing over.
"Your father is waiting for Jin'er in the study. Let her talk herself and you just listen outside the door.
If you want to know what your child is like, don’t look at how he behaves in front of you, but look at how he behaves in the eyes of others. Go and listen.”
The mother put Wang Jinyi on the floor of the study, closed the door from the outside, and stood outside listening quietly.
Wang Jinyi didn't understand why her parents didn't come in.
He turned around and looked at his grandfather who was sitting behind the desk, and knelt down to greet him:
"Grandfather, Jin'er made a mistake."
Wang Minzhang smiled, feeling pleased with his second daughter-in-law's strict and good discipline of the children.
"Come, let's talk."
"Yes, Grandfather."
Wang Jinyi walked to the opposite side of the desk and pointed to a large chair:
"I want to go up and talk."
The grandfather came over, carried his granddaughter to the large mahogany armchair, then returned to his original seat and the two of them looked at each other across the desk.
Wang Jinyi suddenly realized that after sitting down, only the area above his eyes was exposed on the desk, so he got up from the chair and stood on it to talk.
"Grandfather, is this okay?"
Wang Minzhang was a person who attached great importance to etiquette, but today he wanted to comprehensively evaluate a child, so he just said "hmm" lightly.
Then he looked at the girl with the flower-bud hairstyle in front of him in silence. The silence in the room made the couple outside the room feel inexplicably nervous.
Wang Shuli held his wife's hand, which was cold from nervousness. His grandmother acted as if she hadn't seen anything, and even moved closer to the door, with her ear pressed against the window frame.
The grandfather in the room felt inexplicably amused when he saw his wife's face stuck to the paper. It was as if he was going to eat his granddaughter.
So I wanted to speak to break the silence in the room, but I heard Wang Jinyi speak:
"Grandfather, I want to tell you something in private."
"it is good!"
"Come here, come here."
The girl stretched out her dimpled little hand and waved it at her grandfather. Then she covered half of her mouth with it and used her other arm to support the back of the chair as she moved closer to her grandfather.
"Grandfather, we look alike. You look like daddy, and I look like daddy too."
The nonsense that my grandfather was about to say was drowned in his mouth.
"It should be said that your father is like your grandfather, and you are like your father!"
"We are very similar anyway."
Then he reached out his hand and stroked his grandfather's eyebrows:
"Look, we look alike."
Grandfather laughed heartily:
"Hahaha……"
"We are a family, right?"
"Jin'er is absolutely right."
Feeling that his grandfather was not a rigid and stubborn old man, Wang Jinyi opened up the conversation. The old man and the young talked about everything from appearance to family motto, from the clan to the third uncle. Finally, the grandfather asked:
"Why does Jin'er want to write a book? Is it to make money?"
Looking at Wang Jinyi, he shook his head and then nodded.
"Well... I make money, and I want to make other things."
"What else does Jin'er want to earn?"
"Yang Ming!"
"Do you know what Yangming is?"
"I know! Our family motto says: To bring honor to one's family is the ultimate filial piety."
"Could you understand me?"
"Well, I don't quite understand. Daddy said that if you are good to mom, you should be famous."
The father outside the door inexplicably exchanged glances with his wife, as if asking, did I say that? The wife's attention was not on her husband at this time, and she did not understand the meaning of this glance at all, but just nodded casually.
This nod saved Wang Jinyi's small vest.
In the room, Grandfather asked:
"Do you know what fame means?"
"I understand. It means that Jin'er must be better than others, and more people must know how good I am."
Wang Jinyi felt that what he said might have gone a bit too far, so he stopped talking.
"Grandpa, grandpa."
At Wang Jinyi's call, Grandfather came back to his senses from his surprise and asked, "Are you in Kaimeng?"
"Mother is teaching me how to carry a bug."
"What are bugs?"
"It's Sister Yaoyao!"
"Who is Yaoyao?"
"Grandfather, you must not know this."
The sound of "The Book of Songs. Guanjiu" came from the room:
"The orioles are chirping on the island in the river,
My fair lady,..."
"Any more?"
Wang Jinyi thought about it and had memorized the family motto.
The poem I have been reciting the most recently is "The Daughter's Sutra".
Then just recite "Xue Er"!
"The Master said: 'Is it not a pleasure to learn and to practise what one has learned? When a friend comes from afar, ..."
Looking at "The Analects" being recited fluently from the mouth of a child who knew nothing about the world, the grandfather felt a little bit unbelievable.
He stood up from behind the desk, walked to Wang Jinyi's side, looked her up and down, and saw the child who was standing on the chair and reciting incessantly.
Are these words coming from this child? But there is indeed only this one child here.
Wang Jinyi still carries
"The Master said: 'A clever way of speaking and making an ingratiating appearance'..."
I found that my grandfather was looking at me, but I ignored him and continued to recite: "Zeng Zi said: If you are careful about the end of your life and remember your ancestors, the people's morality will become thicker. ..."
Seeing her grandfather looking her up and down, Wang Jinyi stopped playing with the ribbon of her dress.
What's wrong? He shut up. He looked at his grandfather with his big furry eyes.
"Grandfather, why are you looking at me like that? Did Jin'er do anything wrong?"
"You are right. I heard that you received the account book. Do you want to keep a separate account?"
"Is that what Grandfather is asking? No, I want to grow up quickly."
"why?"
"Mom has worked so hard, I want to grow up quickly."
The grandfather outside the door turned around, patted his second son, and glanced at his second daughter-in-law whose eyes were already filled with tears.
The three of them stretched their necks. As the grandfather saw the face on the paper on the window frame becoming clearer and clearer, he walked over and opened the study door.
"Come in and sit down, everyone."
Wang Jinyi leaned on the back of the chair and turned around to see his grandmother bringing his parents in. She sat on the chair by the door and had no intention of interrupting. So he turned around and continued:
"Mother injured her head while trying to save Jin'er. She also has to take care of Jin'er, my brother, and my father every day. She also has to do things, and she also has to..."
I was about to say that I would also volunteer to copy the manuscript, but then I thought it would sound like a complaint and stopped.
"When Daddy is not at home, Mommy will miss him."
The mother blushed and lowered her head shyly.
The father reached out and held the mother's hand, and in the eyes of their parents, the two of them behaved like a newly married couple.
The grandfather's attention was not on his son, but on the 3-year-old child.
Grandfather asked, as if hinting at something: "How long does it take before you miss me?"
"I think about it every day. That's my dad."
The father who was sitting by the door had something warm flowing in his heart and finally gathered in his eyes. He tried hard to calm his emotions and not let the tears flow, and then he heard:
"Daddy will miss us too. We miss daddy. We are a family."
"What if we can only see each other once a year?"
Wang Jinyi shouted in her heart, what? It turns out that where Daddy is going, we can only see each other once a year!
"Grandfather, it's been too long! We will forget Daddy, and Daddy will forget us, forget Mom, forget Brother, forget me! What should we do then?"
Wang Jinyi followed up by saying:
"Grandfather, come here, I will tell you quietly. Daddy is so outstanding, there will be Sister Yaoyao who likes Daddy, and Daddy will also like Sister Yaoyao..."
A firm voice came from behind:
"No, Daddy won't."
"But Daddy is a gentleman, don't all gentlemen like Sister Yaoyao?"
"Jin'er, don't worry. Daddy won't."
Although he was pointing at his daughter, it was obvious that he was speaking to his wife beside him. Wang Jinyi had no time to listen to his father's confession to his mother, and only wanted to fight for her mother's interests.
"If Daddy doesn't see us for a year, can we go see him?"
"Well, that's a good idea, let's give it a try."
"Then go see Daddy every day, isn't that good?"
Grandfather Wang Minzhang thought of another solution. He looked at his second son.
"Come to the outer study room and find me later."
Wang Jinyi looked at his father and stood up respectfully.
"Yes, father."
"Don't worry, I've made note of Jin'er's wish to publish a book. I'll find a way to make this child famous and bring honor to his family."
"Grandpa, grandpa!"
Wang Jinyi thought, I can’t just leave this like this, I have to leave my mark, otherwise Chen Zhiyuan won’t know it’s me even if he sees me!
The grandfather looked down at his granddaughter, wondering what the child would say next.
"Grandfather, can I give myself a name?"
"Jin'er, do you think your current name doesn't sound good?"
"No, my third uncle is going to publish a book and he won't use his own name, so I want to choose one too."
"Okay, Grandfather will pick one for you."
"No, I want to call the brightest star!"
“It’s a little too ostentatious.”
"Then call it the stars in the night sky."
"Why is Jin'er called Xing?"
"I want to shine brightly, to shine on my parents, to protect them, my grandparents, and the people I love."
"Grandfather, I'll tell your father when I have news."
"Grandfather, can I continue writing?"
"Yes, you can show it to your grandfather."
"Okay, Grandpa will hold you."
This grandfather, who had never held a child in his life, timidly held a child for the first time. Wang Jinyi hugged his grandfather's neck and kissed him on the face.
"Thank you for your concern, Grandfather. What did you mention? What did mother mention?"
“It’s support.”
"But I'm wearing shoes! Don't mention it."
The whole family laughed out loud at the childish talk...
