Chapter 194 Being a Light Bulb
In the evening, Wang Jinyi was swinging on the swing, waiting for her brother to finish school, when she saw her mother leading her father into the backyard.
Wang Jinyi felt like a light bulb, a powerful and shining light bulb, but she still had to walk up to her parents and kneel down to greet them. Before she could say anything, her father spoke from behind her mother:
"Jin'er, let's go inside and talk."
The mother and daughter held hands and followed their father into their mother's room. The three of them sat on the couch, waiting for the tea and snacks to be served. After the servants left, the father asked:
"Jin'er, if your parents are not with you, what should you and Wendong do if something happens?"
Wang Jinyi waved her little hand, interrupted her father, and answered:
"Dad, Mom, I am not a child anymore. My brother is three years older than me. We know what we want and can handle small things by ourselves. We have capable servants around us. We don't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation.
As for the big issues, there are still grandparents to check, there is nothing that cannot be solved, so don’t be distracted by this.”
"What if I need help with something?"
"Mother, you have to grow up little by little. For a big event like Kushui Mountain, I will ask my grandparents for help. If that doesn't work, I can borrow people from the clan. Anyway, my brother and I are adults and we will handle it."
The parents knew that her words contained too much comfort and consolation, but the mother believed in her daughter's ability and still asked reluctantly:
"Jin'er, don't you miss your parents?"
This time, Wang Jinyi's face was serious. He pointed at the table with his little finger and said:
"Mother, do you still remember the story of 'A gentleman dreams of marrying a beautiful lady'? Now mother only goes to accompany father for half a year every year, and then she can come back to be with me and my brother. We only don't see each other for half a year, which is better than our father being deceived by a beautiful lady..."
"Don't talk nonsense!" The father looked at his daughter angrily.
"You can really do this..."
The mother came out to smooth things over.
"Jin'er, you can't say that about your father. Apologize, quickly!"
Then, she took her husband's hand and comforted him softly:
"I know you're not that superficial. The child is still young, and he's just worried about losing his father's love. Don't take his nonsense to heart."
Wang Jinyi was glad that she had improved her parents' relationship again, so she pursed her lips and bowed her head in silence. She didn't want to listen to her parents talking to each other, but she couldn't leave for the time being, and she had something else to tell her parents later, so she could only listen.
My father seemed to have calmed down and spoke calmly:
"Hui Niang, don't believe what the child said. You will know when you go there. There are no beautiful ladies there. It is a barren mountain with various trees on it. They are all prepared for the cemeteries and ancestral halls of the Wang clan. The things that Jin Er said will never happen there."
Wang Jinyi lowered her head tightly, trying to shrink herself into a little quail, but she still had to join in the conversation with her parents.
"Dad, what Jin'er said just now was too much, but for the sake of our family, taking turns to accompany you for half a year is the best solution now. We can all be with our family and won't be lonely. Mom can still see all of us. Isn't this the best?"
This time, the parents did not object. Wang Jinyi saw that there was some effect, so he continued:
“Are there any rules about who to bring with you when you go there?”
"We need to ask the clan to see if they have any requirements."
"Can I bring a guard for my father and mother? Or a martial maid for my mother?"
"I haven't heard of any request, but the last time the clan leader came, he said that our clan would send people to go with us, about 30 people specifically for patrolling the mountains. They will go there in advance to take over, so don't worry about it."
I didn't expect that the clan leader's arrangements were so detailed.
"Mother, who else do you want to bring besides what you mentioned last time?"
"There are no special arrangements. Will your grandfather arrange for someone else to accompany you?"
"Mother, if grandfather doesn't give you a maidservant, I will let my sister go with you. I will also give father a guard or a servant."
The parents laughed, and the mother said:
"Jin'er is so worried about us that it makes us look like two useless parents."
"After all, mother, you are going to the deserted mountains, while my brother and I are in a mansion in the capital city. We should make full preparations when leaving home."
The parents smiled at each other, and this time they didn't say anything else, but just stretched out their hands at the same time. The mother finally supported her daughter's forehead, and the father just patted Haozi's shoulder.
Wang Jinyi saw that the atmosphere was just right and quickly said, "Mom, don't worry about your money. I will make a lot of money to support my parents and brother."
The mother replied with relief, "We are adults, please don't worry too much about us. After Qiu Wei passes, our whole family will sit down and discuss it together."
Wang Jinyi knew that her parents had basically accepted her suggestion, so she had to wait for Wen Bai to understand the situation, the situation of the Feng sisters, the arrangements of the group, etc.
Maybe I was too serious. My brother outside the door changed my name. My parents were smiling at me. Wang Jingyi didn't worry too much until her mother gently changed her name. What are you thinking about? Wen Dong is calling you from outside.
When Wang Jie heard that the matter was over, he finally stopped being an annoying light bulb between the two of them and quickly got off the step, not forgetting to say goodbye to his parents. Daddy and Mommy, I'm going to play with my brother...
Before Ke Hua could finish her words, her brother Wang Wendong came in through the door.
But before he could finish his words, his brother Wang Wendong had already pushed the door open and came in. Is mother Jin'er here?
Before he could finish his words, he saw his father sitting on the couch. He happily stepped into the room, bowed respectfully, and then said, "Dad, why did you get home so early this year?"
My father is fine. The doctor will have an exam in 7 days.
In ancient times, the imperial examinations were held in autumn, which was called the end of autumn. Only those who passed the examinations were admitted as Juren, and only those who passed the examinations had the possibility of being selected as officials. Only those who passed this level had the opportunity to continue the examinations. Liwei or the village committee was to participate in the joint examination in February of the following year.
After the meeting, the palace examination was presided over by the emperor. The questions were given or already set. The candidates answered the questions on the mat. Those who passed the examination were called disciples of the emperor. This was the way for common people from ordinary families to change their status. It was also the way for the emperor to exclude the nobles and select the officials he appointed.
There are still 7 days until the Autumn Examination. My father is in the final sprint before the formal examination. I am afraid that he will not come to the back house again. The whole family happily reunited for dinner. After a quiet meal, some people sat on the steps and chatted about this and that.
Mother took the booklet of words signed by Wang Ziyi and the one given to the group, Xi Shi Fang Ge, from the desk and placed it on the couch. Wang Wendong grabbed one and took a look. Envengeance Record asked, "Jin'er has written a new story. What kind of story is it?" Wang Jin usually wanted to tell a story to liven up the atmosphere, but his father said,
I heard from your grandfather that Li Xin compiled a collection of poems. Is this the one?
The mother said, "I have already signed a letter of resignation with the group. It seems that someone from the group will come to look for my daughter in a while. Let's discuss other cooperation."
The mother said, "I have already signed the letter of renunciation with the group. It seems that someone from the group will come to find my daughter in a while. Let's talk about other cooperation." The father and brother looked at Wang Jingyi in surprise. "Oh, please tell me what else you want to say."
