The mother and daughter entered the upper room. The grandmother picked up the book with her left hand and held the tea bowl with her right hand. She sipped the tea slowly and carefully. She watched the mother and daughter walk in, put the book beside her, and sat up straight.

"Good morning, mother."

"Grandma Kang'an."

The grandmother who was sitting upright laughed and called out. After she sat down, she spoke directly:

"Yongxing Lane has been almost cleaned up. Let's find a day that is suitable for moving with Shuli. Don't let Shuli miss his studies for the imperial examination."

The grandmother looked meaningfully at her quiet second daughter-in-law.

"Over the years since you got married, your sister-in-law has been in charge of all household affairs. This time, you have to take care of the family as well."

The mother stood up and knelt down: "Yes, mother."

Grandmother asked the servant to call Qing'er, the head maid of the second house.

The mother made eye contact with Qing'er, and seeing Qing'er nodded slightly, she followed her out.

Wang Jinyi lamented in his heart: When will I be able to have such a tacit understanding with Zhu Yu? Perhaps it was because I was not a capable master.

Then my grandmother continued:

“From now on, your monthly expenses will be allocated directly to you, and someone will go to Yongxing Lane to reconcile the accounts at the end of the month. You don’t have to come here on weekdays.

The tuition fees for Shuli and Wendong's studies will be transferred together, so you must manage it carefully."

My mother looked up at my grandmother, her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, which gradually dissipated, and there seemed to be crystal sparkling.

Wang Jinyi and her mother sat next to each other and saw it clearly, feeling confused. The little man in her heart who kept jumping out to show her what "silly" meant rolled his eyes at her again.

Wang Jinyi felt that at her age of three, it was simply abominable that she must have missed some important information.

Let the villain in your heart constantly jump out to laugh at you, ah! Thousands of lamentations in your heart.

At this time, the old housekeeper Wang Qian came over:

"Madam, the masters are about to enter the mansion. The master has sent a message in advance, asking everyone to go to the main hall of the outer courtyard today."

Wang Jinyi clearly felt that both her grandmother and mother were slightly startled, and then they both concealed their emotions. Grandmother was in front, passing through the corridor and walking out of the second door with hanging flowers.

Wang Jinyi discovered that the entire front yard was empty, and it turned out that almost all the servants in the front yard had disappeared.

Walking along the corridor towards the main hall, I heard the sound of the side door next to the main entrance opening.

From the sound, we knew someone was entering the yard. When everyone walked around the screen wall, we saw our grandfather in front of us with a handsome and steady figure. When he saw the people in the corridor, he quickened his pace and walked through the winding path in the woods.

Grandfather and grandmother walked into the main hall one after another and sat down at the top. My great uncle's family sat down on the left according to their seats, but there was no sign of my great aunt and Wang Yueyi.

Wang Jinyi followed his mother to sit on a row of chairs behind his father and brother. There was no servant inside or outside the hall, no one served tea, and no one prepared snacks. Wang Jinyi was full of doubts.

Grandfather simply straightened his robe and began to speak:

“Tell me a few things.

One is that Shu Yuan's official certificate has been issued, so let Wen Zhen and others go to Xunnan County to help and settle down as soon as possible. Wen Zhen and Wen Bo will take the provincial examination in Xunnan.

Is the resettlement fee in the mansion ready?"

Grandfather looked at grandmother and asked, and grandmother nodded.

"The second is the gift of books. Choose a day that is auspicious for moving. Move to Yongxing Lane first and settle down there. You can buy the missing items later.

As a side note, Shuyan sent back 5 more children and placed them all at the villa. Most of the children at the villa were half-grown children who were unable to take care of each other.

Send some people to help look after it."

Grandma responded: "I'll contact them."

Wang Jinyi was puzzled. Why were they always boys? Last time, they picked up more than 200 children at once. Later, they continued to send orphans back to "Huaguo Mountain" sporadically.

In fact, in ancient times, children without fathers were called orphans, which is completely different from the popular belief that only children without fathers or mothers are called orphans.

Now, I don’t know whether the purpose of sending the family servants over is to disperse everyone or if there really are orphans coming. It is very likely that this is an excuse to send away the servants in the back house!

There was one more thing that Wang Jinyi never understood. Why were there no girls among the orphans picked up along the street? How could the genders be so similar? Did the girls not flee, or did they all have good lives? Suddenly, a chill ran down her back...

It's not that there aren't any, but girls are the first to be sacrificed when their families are in trouble! Either they are sold, or... In this era where men are respected, there is no way for girls to survive! Thinking of this, Wang Jinyi felt a chill in her heart.

A woman's life is not in her own hands, but in the hands of fate, the world, male power, and husband power. Once a disaster occurs, she cannot control her own fate. Women are the first to be abandoned, and girls have nothing to say.

Wang Jinyi is infinitely grateful for the higher education she received in her previous life. Thanks to not losing this memory, and thanks to still being Wang Jinyi in her previous life, all her thoughts and personality are intact. Thank God! Thank the thousands of shining stars!

Wang Jinyi couldn't help but grit his teeth and never give up on himself at any time! Just as he was gritting his teeth and clenching his fists to cheer himself up, his grandfather talked about himself.

“Jin’er, your manuscript has been reviewed and proofread, and will be published together with Shuyan’s book.

The bookstore is very interested and wants to publish a separate booklet to test sales. Jin'er can continue to write stories if she has more."

This time Wang Jinyi learned his lesson and raised his little hand. The mother pulled down the child's raised palm and grabbed it.

Grandfather looked at Wang Jinyi, then looked around.

"If you have any questions, please leave them here. If not, please go back."

Wang Jinyi was picked up by her mother and looked back at her grandfather as she walked out the door. Her grandfather was also looking at his granddaughter. After that, his sight was ruthlessly blocked.

Humph! Humph! Wang Jinyi put her hands on her waist. I'm angry!

But no matter how angry she was, her mother acted as if she didn't see anything, and carried her daughter straight into the second door of Chuihua before putting her on the ground. Her brother Wang Wendong ran over and took his sister's hand:

"Jin'er, are you angry? Our Jin'er is the best behaved. If you have anything to say, tell your brother."

Wang Jinyi glanced at him meaningfully. His 6-year-old brother. What a brat! Wang Jinyi also despised himself for having fallen to the point where he needed a child to coax him.

Just think about it! So Wang Jinyi and her brother ran happily to their yard.

After the family had packed up their belongings, they returned to their main house.

Qing'er had already reported that Ouyang Wenche was reading and not coming to eat. Everyone at the table seemed to be in a good mood. The father was happy to see his wife and children, and the mother was happy to see her husband and son who had returned home after the ten-day holiday.

Wang Jinyi was happy because Tai Sheng Rice Shop opened for business and her first work was published.

Today was a double blessing, so Wang Jinyi's smile was very sweet. Seeing her father picking up food for her mother, Wang Jinyi ate more happily. No one talked at the table, and the atmosphere was harmonious and happy.

Wang Jinyi turned into a little foodie today. Even when he was taken off the big chair, he was still immersed in the temptation of delicious food.

After washing up, the family gathered on the couch again.

The mother poured tea for the father, the father wanted to check the brother's homework, Wang Wendong looked at his sister nervously, and Wang Jinyi expressed confusion.
