Traveling through the starry sky just for you, I was a koi in ancient times

Chapter 208: Stones of Kushui Mountain

After hearing Wang Jindong's reply, Wang Jinyi immediately realized that Min De exposed his talents in order to rescue his cousin Min You.

In fact, Min De was exactly the talent he needed. There has been a saying since ancient times that one should be close to capable people and stay away from villains. Wang Jinyi quite agrees with this. The kind of people you associate with will determine the path you will take.

In the past, people often said: I am not afraid of god-like opponents, but I am afraid of teammates who are like pigs. This means that your partners must not be fools, and you must choose real talents! Otherwise, you will dig your own grave.

Thinking of this, Wang Jinyi decided that he had to have a good talk with his grandfather. Wang came in to report to the young lady on the progress of the infrastructure construction of Ku Shui Mountain. He left Fuling's letter and followed Qingyu to report.

Zhu Yu came in and announced, "Miss, the Feng sisters are here."

Wang Jinyi heard this and realized that this was a trespass. These two sisters were obviously the guards brought by Ouyang, but they insisted on following him. He didn't know whether they were loyal or not, and he couldn't get rid of them.

What's the point of keeping a maid like this?

Before Wang Jinyi could figure it out, she looked up and saw the Feng sisters clasping their fists and bowing in the hall.

The grandmother held the tea and observed the Feng sisters standing below. This is what the little granddaughter said, other people's people. The grandmother watched her little granddaughter in silence to see how she would act.

"Sister Feng, where are you from?"

"Miss, we are originally from Huangjia Village, Shuangqiaohe Town, Liaoyang County. We were hired by our master to be maids. After working for less than half a year, our master's business failed and we were released from prison. We had nowhere to go..."

Seeing that Sister Feng was speaking quite smoothly, Wang Jinyi interrupted her directly.

"Sister Feng, what is the relationship between Ouyang Wenche and you?"

"We don't recognize you, Miss."

"Sister Feng, Ouyang Wenche told me that you two are guards of the Ouyang family and I will lend you to me temporarily. Don't you know that?"

"From now on, we will no longer mention your backgrounds, but I hope you two understand that I know your origins, so don't lie to me anymore!

As long as you are loyal in the future, I will take good care of you. If one day Ouyang Wenche needs you to go back, you should let me know in advance. After all, we are also master and servant. "

Wang Jinyi’s words left Sister Feng speechless. She didn’t expect that their identities were now so awkward.

However, Wang Jinyi said that the two were guards of the Ouyang family, and did not say that they were guards of the Eastern Palace. This left room for the two. The Feng sisters intervened and saluted, but remained silent.

Wang Jinyi asked seriously:

"Is it possible to be loyal while working for my Wang family?!"

The two remained silent, and Wang Jinyi became anxious.

"If you work for my Wang family but your heart is with Han while you are in Cao's camp, I will not tolerate it!"

At this point, Wang Jinyi thought for a moment: Telling two people with great martial arts skills that I can't tolerate it makes me seem a little insecure, right?

They are really disloyal, and there is no way to deal with them. Wang Jinyi gritted his teeth in anger and said:

"If you don't really want to stay in the Wang family, you can leave now!"

Upon hearing what Wang Jinyi said, the two sisters of the Feng family immediately bowed and replied, "Miss, you misunderstood. We will follow you wholeheartedly and have no second thoughts!"

"As long as you can think wholeheartedly about the Wang family during the two years you are in my Wang family, I won't care about anything else."

Wang Jinyi called Zhu Yu and instructed:

"They will be treated the same as Wu Mei. Find someone to teach them the rules of the mansion and arrange for them to stay in the mansion. Go down."

Zhu Yu asked hesitantly, "Miss, our Wang family has never had a maidservant before. Do they need to live alone? How do we manage them on a daily basis?"

"Treat them as second-class maids and let them live together. If you don't understand something, ask Qingmei. If you can't solve it, you can ask..."

At this point, Wang Jinyi looked back at his grandmother, who nodded slightly at him. Wang Jinyi continued, "You can come to me and ask for my advice."

Wang Jinyi withdrew her hands from the coffee table and habitually grabbed the ribbons on both sides of her waist, playing with them in her hands.

The grandmother put down the tea bowl, patted her granddaughter's shoulder gently, and said softly:

"Jin'er did a great job. Grandma is very satisfied. But Jin'er still needs a chance to practice."

As the grandmother spoke, she stood up and took her granddaughter's hand. The two of them walked out of the main hall, talking quietly...

In the evening, my grandfather came back with my brother, and the two siblings seemed to be closer than before. There was no swing in my grandmother's yard, so the two of them sat on the stone bench in the yard and talked about what happened during the day, deliberately avoiding the feeling of separation from their parents.

Grandma told Grandpa what Wang Jinyi had done during the day, and then she and Grandpa walked outside to look at the siblings:

"Hey! These two kids are so pitiful, why don't you let them go with you?!"

"This is good for everyone."

After my grandmother finished telling me about Wang Jinyi leaving two boxes of ore, my grandfather asked, "Where are the things?"

"Jin'er asked me to put it in the gatehouse across the courtyard. The gatehouse has been locked."

"Well, I'll go take a look and be back."

As my grandfather spoke, he hurriedly walked towards the west yard.

At dinner time, Grandfather came back and, as an exception, asked Wang Jinyi at the table: "Jin'er, have you seen those minerals?"

"Not yet, Grandfather."

"Do you want to go take a look?"

"Grandfather, can I go with my brother?"

Wang Wendong curiously pulled at his sister's clothes and asked, "What is it?"

"Someone sent me a big rock. Do you want to go and see it?"

Wang Wendong looked up at his grandfather, who was looking at the two children and then nodded.

After the meal, the four generations of grandparents and grandchildren followed without any followers. The grandfather held a lantern and led Wang Wendong, while the grandmother led Wang Jinyi and followed closely. In the night, the dim light from the lanterns superimposed the figures of the four people.

The four generations of grandparents and grandchildren walked along the corridor and turned into the west wing.

The basement of the gatehouse was filled with minerals, most of which were irregular crystals, some were slightly gray, some were crystal clear, and some were strangely blue, or pink and purple...

There were stones of various sizes scattered all over the room, and my grandmother asked, "What are these?"

The brother whispered to his sister: "Jin'er, did you get this back? What kind of stones are these?"

"These look like salt ore. But I can't be sure. I need to test the salt water to be sure."

After hearing Wang Jinyi's answer, my grandfather asked:

"How did Jin'er figure that out?!"

"Grandfather, do you remember? In the Book of History, there is a record that says 'bitter soup is made with salt and plums'."

"But how did you determine that it was salt ore?"

"Grandfather, I was bored and flipped through a book. It seemed to say... Natural salt is like stone flakes. When broken, they are all square. They are blue-black in color. They are impure. There are high-quality ones that are bright and crystal clear... That's what it said. I just glanced at it and can't remember it clearly!"

Grandfather nodded deeply, and then said to himself:

"How can we confirm this?!"
