Chapter 232 God-given Opportunity
Huo Ying rushed back to Xunnan County to pick up the samples sold by the Fucheng Wood Furniture Store, and also brought two furniture sketches drawn by Chen Sanlang.
The sample was the style specified by Chen Sanlang. As soon as Huo Ying said that, Zhang and Chen started to load the car. However, when they saw the furniture on the drawing, they were dumbfounded. They didn't understand why there were so many useless decorations on the furniture?!
If Wang Jinyi was present, she would be able to tell at a glance that this was French furniture. In her previous life, the only requirement Wang Jinyi had for marriage was French furniture.
For this purpose, Chen Zhiyuan specifically studied the characteristics of French furniture and even painted a large bed in French style to show off that he could design and make it independently.
Originally, the two wanted to design and decorate their own wedding room after their trip, but they didn't expect that both of them would die...
Huo Ying firmly believed in Chen Sanlang's design and urged the carpenter to speed up the work, but let's not talk about it for now.
A month passed in the blink of an eye, and Chen Sanlang had no news of Wang Jinyi! However, he strangely discovered that all the major bookstores in the city had the works of Stars in the Night Sky, and they were all very popular!
The most popular of the many storybooks was the "Journey to the West" that he had copied. It was said that the book had been published for six years and had been reprinted repeatedly. The shopkeeper proudly boasted:
"Our boss has good vision. She was the first to discover that the star in the night sky is a talented writer of storybooks. All the storybooks she publishes in our house are printed very well. For example, we have sold at least tens of thousands of copies of this book, 'Journey to the West'..."
After hearing the shopkeeper's remarks, Chen Sanlang decided to come to his house often to copy books.
The provincial examination would begin in less than half a month. No matter how busy Chen Sanlang was with his review, he insisted on copying books every day, hoping to hear some news about Wang Jinyi.
If Wang Jinyi is still the same age as in her previous life, then she is eighteen years old this year. In ancient times, men who were unmarried at the age of eighteen were considered special. How could Wang Jinyi insist on waiting for him now? ...
Wang Jinyi was indeed waiting for someone, but not Chen Sanlang. She was waiting for a letter from Wen Xiao from Xunnan County.
It was Wang Jinyi's wish to spread the Taisheng rice shops throughout Daqi County. Wen Xiaokai's Xunnan store was the last store in Xunyang Prefecture City, and Wang Jinyi decided to cut the ribbon in person.
Thinking about it is one thing, but making it happen is another! What excuse can one use to leave the house has become Wang Jinyi's biggest headache these days!
Yes! How to go out? !
God heard Wang Jinyi’s inner call, and someone appeared to help her get out of the house!
One autumn afternoon, a group of three people from the Wang clan of Langya came to the Wang family’s old house.
After hearing the announcement, all the male members of the clan went out to welcome the visitors. Although in terms of seniority, Wang Jinyi's father was the oldest, and his grandfather, who was the head of the family, was not at home, and his uncle was far away in Xunnan, according to the rules, the eldest grandson of the first house would be in charge of the family affairs.
The visitor from the clan was naturally received by the eldest cousin Wang Wenzhen. The elders invited him into the main hall, greeted him, sat him down, and exchanged polite greetings. One of the elders asked:
"Is Wang Jinyi not here today? Why didn't she come? We are here to pick up samples of the order. Also, let's ask the accountant to come over to check the accounts."
A group of men looked at each other, wondering why the visitor to the family wanted to find a girl. No one knew what to do. After all, Wang Wenzhen had grown up working with people for many years. He first arranged for the clan leaders to rest, and hurried back to the back house to ask his grandmother for instructions in the upper room.
After hearing the eldest grandson's report, the grandmother sent someone to the second house to tell Wang Jinyi, and asked Wang Wenzhen to send someone to find the old housekeeper Wang Qian, and did not forget to instruct:
“You have not been in the mansion for six years, and the mansion has changed a lot. It is mainly because Jin’er is cooperating with the clan to help maintain the family. Generally, the clan sends people every month to pick up samples or place orders.
Take it slow, you will know it after a while!
But when it comes to monthly reconciliation, usually Jin'er will provide his own people, and we will provide the accounting office, and the three parties will reconcile the accounts. You have to master this, and your grandfather will tell you about the other things when he comes back, don't worry!"
Wang Wenzhen asked tentatively:
"Grandma, how long has my cousin been working with the clan? Have you done many projects?"
"Well, it was after you went to Xunnan that Jin'er came up with something called a pencil, and thought of cooperating with the tribe. From then on, Jin'er gave the samples to the tribe, and the tribe gave Jin'er dividends. Later, there were more and more, and now there are four workshops providing samples to the tribe.
Look at that bouquet of flowers. Jin'er calls it everlasting flowers. It's also a project in cooperation with the tribe. I heard that both the pen and the flowers are selling very well."
Wang Wenzhen heard that although his grandmother didn't say a word of praise, the proud tone of her voice was enough to show her appreciation for his cousin. But he himself couldn't even remember what his cousin looked like.
I still remember that six years ago, I seemed to have seen my little cousin in the main hall. She seemed to be only three years old at that time, and she was always playing tricks with Yue'er. What does the second cousin look like? I searched my memory but couldn't remember anything.
The main reason is that we haven't met each other many times, and it was only a fleeting encounter. I have almost forgotten about it over the years.
Just as I was thinking about someone outside the door reporting:
"The young lady from the second room is here."
Wang Jinyi was followed by several girls. She walked into the main hall with grace and greeted her grandmother first, then bowed to her eldest cousin. When she was about to return the greeting, she heard no sound. Wang Jinyi turned her head slightly to glance at her eldest cousin and found that he was looking at her seriously.
Wang Jinyi guessed that in the eyes of her cousin who had been away from home for six years, she was probably still a little kid!
But in fact, what Wang Wenzhen saw was: a girl in a turquoise silk skirt, a goose yellow right-fronted blouse, and a white plum blossom cloak, came gracefully, with a sweet smile on her porcelain-white oval face, a soft voice, and decent manners. She saluted calmly and waited for him to return the salute.
Wang Wenzhen coughed lightly to hide his unfamiliarity and embarrassment, and then asked after returning the greeting:
"I haven't seen you in six years, cousin. How are you? I feel a little strange after not seeing you for so long."
Grandmother said, "Someone from the clan has come to check the accounts. Please wait in the front yard. The family can exchange greetings later. Is Jin'er in charge of the account?"
Seeing her granddaughter nod seriously, the grandmother continued:
"Jin'er is still going to the room in the front yard that was originally reserved for you to reconcile the accounts. We will make other arrangements later. Go first, don't keep the people in the tribe waiting for too long."
The cousin was in front, and Wang Jinyi followed two steps behind according to the clan rules and walked into his own account office. After the three clan elders saw Wang Jinyi and nodded slightly to accept the greeting, the clan elder sitting in the middle gestured:
"Jinyi, grandson of the Wang family of Xunyang, I will bring you the words of the clan leader before we settle the accounts today."
When Wang Jinyi heard this, he was about to kneel down and kowtow, but was stopped. He then performed the scholar's etiquette, lowered his head and listened quietly in an obedient manner.
"The elders of the tribe have decided that the school for children to be established at Beiyukou will open next month. Although it is inconvenient for you to attend as a woman, the tribe leader will still give you a chance. You can decide for yourself whether you want to go and take a look!"
