Chapter 207: A Visitor from Kushui Mountain
The long conversation between the grandmother and granddaughter made her more convinced that her little granddaughter was indeed special. Not only was she precocious, but she was also like a little adult and had the ability to handle affairs and run the household.
In just a few months when he was not paying attention, his granddaughter had developed her own business and employed more than a dozen people.
This three-year-old kid actually classified all the people under his control into different categories and assigned them their own duties. In just over five months after leaving the Wang family's old house, Wang Jinyi actually established his own team.
Qingmei is outside the door and reports:
"Madam, Miss, the concierge came to report that someone from Kushui Mountain came back to the mansion to deliver something."
As soon as Wang Jinyi obeyed, he jumped from his grandmother's side to the ground. He was so anxious that he didn't even have time to put on his shoes and wanted to run out to see people.
Suddenly I remembered that the person in front of me was not my mother but my grandmother. I immediately remembered the etiquette, turned around and bowed to my grandmother, saying:
"Grandma, someone from Kushui Mountain came back to give me something. I want to go out and meet him. Is that okay?"
"No."
Grandmother stood up slowly, straightened her dress, and then said to Qingmei:
"Finish your hair and makeup, and we'll go out and meet her."
About half an hour later, the grandparents and grandchildren were dressed neatly, followed by a group of people. They passed through the east corner door, bypassed the east wing, and entered the front yard.
From a distance, Wang Jinyi saw Wang Jindong, a stranger standing outside the main hall.
This unfamiliar face looked to be about 30 years old, with a handsome appearance and a hint of bookishness. He just looked a little sick and seemed to be in a low mood.
Wang Jinyi searched her memory and suddenly remembered that this was probably the person Wang Jinlai rescued on the road!
After approaching, Wang Jindong bowed his head and the man also bowed his head slightly.
I remember Wang Jinlai came back to report that the person he picked up hadn't spoken yet and didn't want to communicate with others. This time Wang Jindong brought him here...
Wang Jinyi took two quick steps and said to the two of them:
"Come in with me."
In the main hall, the grandmother sat at the upper hand opposite the door, and Wang Jinyi was accompanying the prime minister below.
Wang Jindong led his men into the main hall and stood there.
Wang Jinyi asked:
"Wang Jindong, who is this?"
Wang Jindong gently nudged the person next to him with his elbow. The stranger, who had been keeping his head down and keeping silent, took a half step forward, bowed like a scholar, and said in a very soft voice:
"I am Min De from Nanhai County. I have bothered Brother Wang to come to see the master today because I have a favor to ask of you."
Wang Jinyi continued:
"Wait a minute, please tell me your life story first, and then explain everything that happened to you before you ask for help."
Seeing her granddaughter talking to the servants in an orderly manner without losing the upper hand, the grandmother felt reassured and wanted to see what the child was capable of today. She made up her mind to just sit there and keep silent today.
My grandmother lowered her head, picked up the tea bowl and began to drink the tea slowly, sip by sip, as if she was just here to drink tea and not to take charge of anything.
Min De pondered for a long time, and finally spoke.
“Madam, Miss, I am from the Min family of Nanhai. The Min family has been surveying geological veins for generations. This is an ancestral ability.
At the beginning of the year, someone came to the Min family and said that the government officials in Xunyang City wanted us to help survey the mineral veins. After discussion at home, we decided that my cousin Min You and I would each bring an assistant to Xunyang City.
We had originally agreed to meet at the south gate of the city, but on the appointed day, only one person outside the south gate delivered a letter to us and left a guide to take us to the mountains in a town outside the city.
At first, when I saw the official seal on the letter, I felt reassured, so I rented a car and went there with the person who came. But after we arrived, we were arrested and detained separately.
I took advantage of the midnight shift change to sneak down the mountain and groped around in the mountains all night before I was luckily rescued. I still don’t know how my cousin is doing now!
I heard from Brother Wang that the Wang family rescued me out of righteousness, and this is to express my gratitude."
Having said that, he knelt down in the hall, and without waiting for everyone to react, he kowtowed three times, and then knelt for a long time without getting up.
Wang Jinyi knew that this person must be begging for help, but he couldn't solve the problem with his own ability, so he thought about it, stood up, walked to his grandmother, and whispered:
"Grandma, you should just let him talk to Grandpa directly. There are some things that the fewer people who know about it, the better. With so many ears in this hall, it's always unsafe to hear them!"
When the grandmother heard this, she was surprised that this little person had thought of it very carefully, so she nodded.
Wang Jinyi stood beside her grandmother, looked at Qingmei and instructed:
"Help the man up, settle him down first, and then go down. We'll talk about it later."
Wang Jindong was the only one left in the hall, and Wang Jinyi asked directly:
"Wang Jindong, you should have arrived three days ago. Why did you wait until today?!"
Wang Jindong lowered his head and explained:
"Miss, we originally decided to come back early, but when I got up early and went out, Min De stopped me. He said he had something important to say, and I thought it was just a few small talk.
He asked me why I collected the ore and sent it to Xunyang City. I said that my daughter said she had bought a new mountain and she couldn't come in person! I had to collect some ore and take it home to make a landscape, and I also wanted to know if the mountain had any value.
Min De pointed at the ore and said that the ore we mined was not the right one. The young lady wanted to know whether there were any mineral veins on Ku Shui Mountain and said that we should collect the stones from the mineral veins.
I thought this person was a man who didn't talk easily, but since he did, it sounded reasonable, so I decided to follow his advice and go back up the mountain to mine ore. As a result, I wasted these days."
Wang Jinyi heard that Min De had seen through her heart and specially led people to find the stones on the vein. Isn't this an accidental achievement? Since the willows are going to grow into a forest, why not give herself a chance?
As long as Min De wants to come to me, I will do my best to help him, but I also need to listen to my grandfather's opinion!
"Where did you put the ore?"
"The young lady's carriage has arrived at the west wing and has unloaded the two boxes of ore in the west wing."
Wang Jinyi turned around and asked her grandmother:
"Grandma, is there a storehouse in our west wing?"
Grandma thought for a moment:
"No. But we can put it in the gatehouse and have someone lock the gatehouse first. We will make a decision after your grandfather comes back."
Wang Jinyi felt that working with smart people was a lot easier. Her grandmother was so smart that she understood what she meant as soon as she asked.
The ore was brought back from such a long distance and was found by Min De himself. The ore should be valuable, so it should be kept confidential!
Wang Jindong saw the young lady leaning on the corner of the table, looking at the ground in silence, not knowing what she was thinking. He broke the silence, lowered his voice and said:
"Miss, I guess Min De is a real expert. He said that half of our Ku Shui Mountain is a mineral vein. We should buy it together with the several ridges connected to it to ensure that the mine is complete..."
