Chapter 136 Jade Clan Emblem

Wang Jinyi looked at the white jade pendant in front of her and sighed, "Oh! There is such a beautiful thing!"

To avoid embarrassment, the grandfather quickly stood up and took it for Wang Jinyi:

"I would like to thank the clan members for their love on behalf of my child. I will accept this recognition!"

My grandfather took it with both hands, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket, wrapped it up, and put it in his arms with great care.

Wang Jinyi looked at his grandfather's cautious expression and was somewhat confused about the meaning.

The brother shook his sister's arm at his side.

"I want to thank the clan leader for the gift."

"Oh? Uh-huh."

Wang Jinyi let go of his brother's hand and performed a formal scholar's salute.

The clan wife laughed out loud when she saw it:

"Jin'er, you need to show great courtesy. This is the clan's recognition of you."

The grandfather took down the cushion and placed it in front of the child.

"Jin'er must kneel down and kowtow to thank the Sect Master. This jade family emblem is an honor."

Wang Jinyi was a little confused about what to do, so she quickly looked at her brother. Her brother remained silent, as if he didn't know what to say. Seeing that his sister was waiting for his response, he nodded heavily.

Wang Jinyi then knelt down and, under the guidance of the clan's wife, kowtowed three times.

The clan wife squatted down and helped Wang Jinyi up, and said in a very Zheng style:

"The jade token you received is a certificate for non-Wang family members and female relatives to participate in all sacrificial activities of the Wang clan. It means that you are recognized by the Wang clan. In the future, you can participate in the sacrifices, festivals, and large-scale clan activities of the Wang clan with this jade token.

That means you are accepted by the Wang clan, do you understand?"

Wang Jinyi grabbed the hem of her skirt, nodded as if she understood, and replied hesitantly:

"understood."

"With this jade token, you can get help from all the Wang clan members in the entire dynasty. Do you understand?"

Wang Jinyi's mouth opened slightly, her eyebrows raised, and her big eyes were wide open.

Is it that effective? But I wonder how many Wang clan members there are?

When Mrs. Zong saw Wang Jinyi's reaction, she knew that the child didn't understand the jade token, so she said:

"Someone will stay here to teach you the clan's rules and etiquette. You can choose one of us to be your instructor to guide you into the Wang clan."

Wang Jinyi looked at the two of them carefully. Both of them had dignified and handsome faces, and she didn't know how to choose for a moment.

So he called for help:

"grandfather."

"Jin'er, it's up to you to choose."

Wang Jinyi narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, and decided, "Just let the two of you compete on yourselves!"

"Now I have two children as old as my older brother, from poor families, who love to study, but now there is only one fund for support. What should I do according to my plan to support poor students?"

The two clan women looked at each other helplessly. They never expected that letting such a young child choose a teaching position in etiquette that suits their eyes would actually be treated as an examination for becoming an apprentice.

The clan leader asked:

"There's only one share of money for two people, right?"

Grandfather smiled.

"This kid is trying to change the concept. There's something wrong with the question."

The people in the room started to whisper about the topic. Wang Jinyi stayed out of it. Seeing the two clan wives also started to talk together, she took her brother's hand and said:

"Let's go out and wait for Grandfather!"

"Jin'er, who do you want to support between the two of you?"

Wang Jinyi looked at her brother with a smile and thought: Adults don't make choices, so let them make their own choices! I want to take a break!

That night, my grandfather hosted a party for the Wang clan at Baoqinglou Restaurant, the most famous restaurant in Xunyang City.

The female guest was my grandmother, and the male guest was Wang Wendong. In the words of my grandparents, the most valuable thing in a person's growth is experience, and no matter how old a boy is, he is the pillar of the family.

In this way, Wang Wendong, the 7-year-old pillar of the second family, followed his grandfather and accompanied the clan elders to the banquet.

Father came back from the provincial school, and brother was not home yet. Mother took a group of servants to the study in the front yard to deliver food to father. Wang Jinyi also wanted to go and see his father whom he hadn't seen for a day, but then he thought that it was not easy for his parents to have a short time to spend together, so he should let them go.

Before leaving, the mother told Qing'er:

"Bring all the deeds with you."

Qing'er raised the tray in her hand:

"Madam, this is Miss's result. You must let me see it. I won't forget it."

The mother turned back, looked at herself in front of the dressing table, gently smoothed her hair, glanced at her daughter, smiled gently, and went out.

Wang Jinyi looked at her mother, shy like a little girl in love, and envied her father for a second, just one second.

Wang Jinyi has always thought that her love is the most beautiful. She can only accept admiration but not rebuttal. Why does she feel a little jealous?

The wet nurse led the young lady out the door and was then taken back to the west room by the young lady.

Wang Jinyi thought of the woman in the clan who could publish a book in "Chongwenfang".

I thought: Isn’t it just writing a few poems?

"Qingyu, I want to write a short poem. Please write it down for me. We can sort it out later and send it to Chongwenfang to try it out."

Qingyu was shocked this time, and looked at the young lady and asked:

"Miss, you also know Chongwenfang? It's a place that publishes books for students. If you can buy books there, you are not an ordinary person. Why do you want to publish poems there? Miss..."

She didn't dare to say, "Miss, you are dreaming!" She left the second half of the sentence in her mouth and swallowed it back.

Wang Jinyi pretended not to understand, nor did he hear Qingyu's unfinished meaning. Wang Jinyi ignored the ghostly look on Qingyu's face.

"Come on, Qingyu, I told you to record it for me."

Of course, the first song is "The Hermit" which he once told to the clan elders. Wang Jinyi described the hermit as a sword with a strong steel wind. It is hidden in the scabbard, with a sharp blade and cool wind. It is the sober person who enjoys the leisurely breeze and bright moon.

Qingyu raised the pen and looked at her young lady, wanting to know what poem it was that made her so determined that she would be sent to "Chongwenfang" only to run into a wall.

"The hidden sword hides its golden sound, concealing its merit and fame; the idle sun and moon in the sheath are still more brilliant than frost and snow."

Qingyu finished writing quickly, put the pen on the inkstone, and exclaimed,

"Wow, Miss, you really can write poetry, and you write it so well. What is it about?"

"You don't even know what's written, but you just say it's good. What a sycophant."

"Miss is just great. What is a horse? What is a scripture? Is that also a poem?"

Wang Jinyi thought about it and found a source for his horse.

"A single roar astonishes the world, a steed's heroic presence shakes the heavens and earth, it appears out of nowhere with wind and clouds, a jade dragon soars to settle Kunlun."

"Oh! Miss, please speak slowly. I'm not ready yet. Say it again, say it again."

Wang Jinyi also said it casually and couldn't remember it anymore. Qingyu quickly wrote down what he remembered and let the young lady recall the rest.

The master and servant were busy reminiscing when their brother Wang Wendong called out from outside the door.
