"Well, it's okay. After all, it's a shop, so it won't lose money. You should be more alert, look more carefully, and pay more attention."

"My daughter-in-law has made note of this and will definitely take good care of it."

"There's nothing special about managing private property, but Jin'er is still young, and we adults have to keep a closer eye on her."

"Mother, I will send someone to find out, and then let Jin'er decide for herself."

"This is safer. You should be more careful. This is the first property that our Wang family's daughter has purchased. Back then, when her aunt Wanyu was selected to enter the palace, she was still young. The family didn't have time to prepare a dowry, let alone give her private property, before she went to the palace. Alas! It will take nearly 10 years for her to come back. ..."

"Mother, has my aunt never seen her family since she entered the palace?"

"I guess I have seen her before. Back then, when the master was an official in the capital, he could still see Wan Yu at large-scale sacrifices and festivals.

At that time, I heard that she was wanted by the Queen's palace to do clerkship and became a female official of the sixth rank.

Last year, a friend of your father mentioned in a casual conversation that she had been transferred to the Taiji Hall to do clerical work for the Queen Mother. Judging from her clothes, it seemed that she had been promoted to a fifth-rank official position.

I don’t know how the child is doing in the palace.”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fell into a long silence, neither of them going into details.

Qing'er came in from outside and broke the silence, reporting back:

"Madam, Madam, Zhu'er has already done everything. The master asks you two to go to the front hall."

By the time the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law entered the main hall of the front yard, the grandfather had finished testing his descendants.

While drinking tea, I talked about Wang Jinyi's vernacular story:

"It's because you come into contact with too few people and things in your daily life, and they are too simple, so you don't have many creative themes. As Jin'er grows up, it will always be more beneficial for you to write storybooks."

"Grandfather, can I go choose a shop?"

"You need to ask your mother about this, discuss it with your parents, and listen to your family's opinions."

"Grandfather, Jin'er has taken note. Grandfather, I want a copy of your calligraphy to use as a copybook."

"Jin'er is not suitable for copying your grandfather's calligraphy. You should use Wendong's calligraphy as a copybook first."

Grandfather looked at Wang Wendong.

"You are the elder brother, so you should help Jin'er more. She is not very good at calligraphy. You should write the beginnings of the characters for her carefully and let her copy them. Slowly she will be able to write well."

"Yes, Grandfather. I will help Jin'er write well."

As if he was afraid of hurting Wang Jinyi, his grandfather softened his tone. He spoke slowly, word by word:

“Most people need to practice continuously for more than a year to write in a stylish way, and it may take you even longer.

As a descendant of my Wang family, you can only learn to write well. This is the lowest requirement of my Wang family. Do you understand?"

Wang Jinyi was stunned. Oh my God! No one in the family wrote worse than me. I am so ashamed.

Fortunately, I took advantage of the fact that I didn't lose my memories from my previous life, otherwise I would have become the fat leg that holds the Wang family back!

Wang Jinyi almost bit her baby teeth to pieces, which made me so angry. But I just don't believe this.

I can't write like Wang Xizhi, and I can't beat Wang Xianzhi, but I can at least write like an ordinary descendant of the Wang family, right?

"Grandfather, I promise to finish writing it in half a year!"

"Good, like the descendants of my Wang family."

As soon as the grandmother and mother sat down, they heard Wang Jinyi's resentful promise. They were both worried about Wang Jinyi's promise.

I'm not worried about whether he can write in half a year. I'm worried that this child will work too hard and tire himself out...

Until his grandparents passed away and his parents discussed matters, Wang Jinyi was trapped in the torment of being the last among the descendants of the Wang family.

After all, I had never been so outstanding in my previous life. No matter how well I studied, I had never been number one.

Even if he was admitted to one of the two famous universities in Beijing through the college entrance examination, he would not be the only one in the entire school.

Now, I am suddenly given a chance to become the first, but I am not mentally prepared for what happens next.

Just like this, I kept thinking about it over and over again until my mother sent me back to my room to rest. Then I listened to her advice:

"Jin'er, don't think too much. Tomorrow, mother will take you to see the shops. You can choose one and we will buy it."

Seeing that her daughter was still lost in her own thoughts, the mother just smiled and shook her head, watching Zhu Yu and the wet nurse busy helping the young lady wash.

The rotation of the sun and the moon will not speed up or slow down due to people's mood.

The indignation I felt before going to bed yesterday turned into anticipation for the day when Wang Jinyi woke up slowly in the morning.

Today, the sunlight seemed even brighter. The leaves reflected dazzling golden light in the sunlight. The lattice windows covered with bright paper were unusually clear. Even the figure of my mother under the window in the yard became clear.

Wang Jinyi sat up, stretched, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

It’s time to go out. I can go out again.

The weather was getting hot, and in order to avoid the scorching midday sun, the mother and daughter decided to go out after breakfast and try to come back when the sun was shining brightly.

Wang Jinyi was deliberately dressed up today: she wore a light, aqua blue cross-collared shirt, which was soft and comfortable, and flowed like a summer breeze. She wore a lilac skirt embroidered with jasmine flowers, and a belt embroidered with jasmine flowers around her waist, on which hung a string of flower-shaped decorations to press the hems of her skirt.

The nurse carefully combed two small flower buds for the young lady, and decorated each flower bud with a pearl. Wang Jinyi always felt a little worried when she saw the nurse wearing her private property on her head.

I only have these few things and I carry them all with me. If I show them off and lose them, I’ll be in trouble.

"Nurse, don't take this. Take the bunch of flowers. It's the lily of the valley bunch that Qing'er gave me."

"Miss, that is made of cloth, and this is jewelry, they are different. Today, when we go out, Madam asked me to dress you up well.

Then you must use something beautiful!"

Wang Jinyi thought about it and decided that they were just two small drops of water, nothing serious, so she just took them.

Unexpectedly, the nurse became more energetic and took out a pair of small gold necklaces from the jewelry box. As soon as she held them up, Wang Jinyi discovered them.

What are you doing? Are you telling others that I am a walking jewelry display cabinet? Decoration is good only when it is just right. Too much will look tacky!

Wang Jinyi quickly said:

"Put it down, put it down, it's okay now."

The nurse was still hesitating. Mother had already dressed and walked in with Qing'er.

"My Jin'er is ready? Let's go. The sooner we go, the sooner we can return."

The nurse carefully put the gold necklace back into the jewelry box. Zhu Yu was not careless and quickly sorted out the jewelry, then put it into the drawer of the young lady's dressing table, locked the small copper lock, and pulled it twice with his hands to confirm that it was really locked, and finally felt relieved.

Noticing that the young lady was looking at him, Zhu Yu carried the young lady down from the stool in front of the dressing table:

"Miss, this is all we have, so please take good care of it."

Wang Jinyi thought to herself: Don't worry, looking at the cash flow from Tai Sheng Rice Shop, it's hard not to make money. The public's ability to follow trends is beyond people's imagination. With the current momentum, it's okay to buy some small decorations.

When I went out, I saw two small blue cloth carriages standing in a row in front of the door.

The mother brought Wang Jinyi and sat in Qing'er, and the seat was full.

The one at the back is the wet nurse, Zhu Yu and Ping'er.

All men and stewards sat on the carriage.

"We are going to look at three shops today." Mother said to Wang Jinyi with a smile on her face.

The mother explained to Wang Jinyi in detail the location, size and price of the shops, and said that after Ping'er had investigated the three shops, there would be accurate information about the specific circumstances in a few days.

Wang Jinyi understood what her mother meant. It was better not to make a deposit today. She should wait until she had done enough research before negotiating the price and making a deposit. Wang Jinyi understood what her mother meant.

The crisp sound of horse hooves tapped on the stone road, and the carriage entered Pingkang Street in the East Market.

At this time, the East Market had just opened, and there was an endless stream of vendors coming in and out. Among them were many foreign faces: Uighurs, Turks, Tibetans, Kumbu people, etc. People of all skin colors came in with different goods.
