History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]

On this day, a monk and a monk came from outside the mansion. The Taoist was on a slope, and the monk was a mangy man wearing ragged clothes, which were covered with muddy water.

Because they were standing by the fence, some distance away from the gate, the porter didn't chase them away, but just looked at the two vigilantly, fearing that they would break into the mansion.

The Taoist looked at the huge golden light in the sky: "This golden light is not something we can resist."

The monk nodded and agreed: "Even if it is a fairy, it is invincible."

The Taoist glanced at the sky again, and then said to the monk: "I don't know which immortal this is, I just hope that I don't miss that romantic friend and end the relationship."

Monk: "Why don't you and I go in and ask for a favor?"

The Taoist nodded: "Yes."

As soon as he finished speaking, the monk and Taoist disappeared. The concierge, who was staring at the two at the door, found that the two had disappeared in the blink of an eye, and immediately rubbed his eyes again, widening his eyes.

Only then did he realize that these two weird people had really disappeared. He ran over, stood where the monk and the Taoist were standing, touched the back of his head strangely, "Hey, where is this person?" Then he seemed to think of something and hit him a chill.

"Shouldn't you see a ghost?"

Rarely idle, Minning recorded all his memories of the Dream of the Red Chamber in the study.After I jotted it down, I realized that they were all stories about crazy men and women.

She couldn't help but have black lines all over her face, and only through Jia Yuanchun did she vaguely know something about the royal family.

Suddenly she noticed something was wrong in the room, she raised her head and saw two more people in the room.

The scarlet head monk and a lame Taoist, Minning was startled, who are these two?How did you get in?Why was it not reported by people?

Then he thought of who else in this world has this ability besides the Dao and the monk?

She straightened her back and sat upright, thinking of calling out for someone, she asked, "Who are you two? What are you doing looking for me?"

The lame monk said with a smile: "Amitabha, the poor monk came here with the old Taoist to meet the outsider."

Minning felt a "thump" in his heart, pretending he didn't know anything, "An outsider? Are you referring to me?"

Taoist Pojiao said: "The nobleman is naturally the person from the outside world." Seeing Minning's golden light again, the piercing eyes hurt, and he continued, "This time the two of us came to the nobleman to seek favor."

Minning didn't know why the two of them talked to her so nicely, but it didn't prevent them from pulling the banner to act as a tiger's skin.

"I don't know what the two of you are referring to? If I can help, I will naturally help." Of course, the premise is that I can help.

The scarlet-headed monk said, "Amitabha, this matter is very simple for the nobleman. It is a pair of romantic enemies who have gone down to earth for many calamities. The two of us hope that the nobleman will not interfere."

Min Ning's mind moved, and he immediately understood who the romantic lovers were referring to.

It seems that Lin Daiyu has been born.

Minning chuckled, "I don't know who the romantic lover you two are talking about?"

The scarlet-headed monk and the lame Taoist glanced at each other, and bowed to Minning, "Since the nobleman doesn't know, then we are bothering you."

Then when he turned around, the two stepped forward, and their figures disappeared in place.

Min Ning tightened her body, and her expression became solemn. If she wanted to interfere with Lin Daiyu's fate before, now she really has scruples.

She leaned back on her chair and began to think, these people are just immortals who have come down to the earth to experience calamity, just as the two said, she really shouldn't interfere.

No matter how miserable life is in the mortal world, to the immortals, it is just a dream. When one wakes up from the dream, the catastrophe will pass.

If Minning intervened at will based on her pity for the characters in the book, she would only be satisfied with herself, and it might cause Lin Daiyu to cry, and she would not be able to be a fairy.

Thinking of this, Minning shook her head, forget it, she'd better mind her own business and not meddle in other people's business.

June [-]th is the catch Sunday of the three little masters in the Baylor mansion.

After catching the week, you will be one year old, and you can officially have your own name when you are one year old.

This time, Fourth Master dug through the books as usual, and was still dissatisfied with choosing a few, and finally chose Hongxuan and Honghao as the names of the fifth and sixth elder brothers.Sangege also has his own name, Yaliqi, which means little sweet fruit.

Among the three children, only San Gege was the strongest and looked very similar to Fourth Master. If it was a boy, he would definitely be full of ambitions, but it happened to be a girl.Probably fourth master was also worried about his daughter's appearance, so he gave her this name.

But when it came to Minning, Yaliqi turned into Tiantian.

Tiantian also likes this name. Compared with Yaliqi, she responds more to Tiantian's name.

……

Wang Ershi's family lived near the capital, so he hurriedly got up early this morning to clean the house.

He is the only one in the family at present. There are many children like him in the village. His parents went to the city to work during the slack season, leaving the children at home.

Wang Ershi did not have this kind of treatment. His grandparents passed away in his early years, and when his parents were away, he could only live alone.

A few years ago, many factories were built in Beijing, and the factories began to recruit workers. Because the wages were good, all the villagers who had a little strength went to the factories.

Except for the busy time of farming, the rest are working in the factory.

Wang Ershi is used to this kind of life. He is already 12 years old this year, and he is not too old in the countryside.

What's more, the food at home has been collected, even if his parents are not at home, it is enough for him to take care of himself every day.

After cleaning the house, Wang Ershi ran to the creek behind the house and took a plunge. After washing off the sweat, he climbed up. When he got home, he fetched a basin of water, took a shower, and then changed into shorts and a jacket.

There is a happy event in the village today, which is related to young people like Wang Ershi and the others.

After changing his clothes, he went out to find his little friend Caitou next door. Caitou had a piece of pancake in his mouth, and asked Wang Ershi to wait for him to change into new clothes while eating.

It was only eight o'clock, and the sun was already very poisonous, making people itchy.

After Caitou changed into new clothes, the two continued to walk towards the entrance of the village. Along the way, they met many friends from the village one after another.

Soon a large team gathered and walked out of the village talking and laughing.

Just five miles outside the village, there used to be a mass grave, which has been filled in and a large and tall courtyard has been built.

Children from many villages from all directions rushed over.Some were brought by adults, and some half-grown teenagers like Wang Ershi came here alone.

After entering the big iron gate, we came to a large open space with three tables placed in the middle of the open space.The three people were already sitting behind the table, and the people Bi Wang Ershi and the others were looking for had already stood in a row.

The next time they saw Wang Ershi and the others coming, someone waved them to line up behind those people.

He walked over with Caitou and other companions and stood up.

After about half an hour, more than 200 people came one after another, and the whole flat ground was crowded.

It was almost time to meet someone, the person sitting behind the middle table knocked on the table and called out "Quiet".

The people in the open space slowly silenced, and the man stood up and spoke.

"First of all, everyone is welcome to come here. This is the opening ceremony of Wangcun Primary School. I am the dean of this academy. I would like to say a few words here."

Someone nearby applauded, and Wang Ershi and the others immediately followed suit.

The dean pressed his hands, and the applause stopped sparsely.

"Our academy starts school today, and we recruit children with a radius of ten miles to study. You don't need to pay the repair fee, just the book fee. Everyone knows that the book fee is [-] yuan." He glanced at it again. The crowd in front pointed to the person on the left and said, "Those who come to sign up, go to Master Zhang to sign up."

Wang Ershi had twenty Wen in his pocket, which he asked his parents for when he went to the city a few days ago, and when he heard that twenty Wen would allow him to study, his parents immediately agreed.

Wang Ershi also has a dream in his heart. He hopes that he can read and practice calligraphy, read newspapers, and understand the outside world.

Wang Ershi signed up, and there will be more than a month before the start of the school. I heard that the registration in advance is to count the number of printed books.

Holding the small receipt, Wang Ershi returned home full of hope.

After returning home, he continued to play with the toys he had made earlier.

This toy was picked up for him by his parents from the city, and he cherished it very much. Although some parts were damaged, he still peeled the bamboo himself, and carefully replaced the damaged parts.

After playing with toys for a while, Wang Ershi went into the room and took out a big wooden barrel.

This is a machine for washing clothes.There is no need to crank it by hand, just pull the mechanism, and it will work by itself.

This is something that Wang Ershi tinkered with when he was alone at home.

Checking this big guy again, Wang Ershi threw the clothes he had changed into the bucket, then fetched water from the well, and pulled out a rope violently, the wooden bucket started to spin with a clicking sound, and then the inside of the bucket A mallet also turned and hit the clothes.

Wang Ershi poured some saponin powder into it, and the rotation of the mallet drove the water to foam up a lot.When the speed slowed down, Wang Ershi yanked the rope again, and the mallet continued to spin rapidly.

It was only a few strokes, the clothes were almost washed, Wang Ershi bent his waist and touched the water, he found a soft plug, he buckled it up, lifted the plug up, and then a small vortex formed in his mouth , while the water flowed out from under the barrel.

Wang Ershi threw the cork aside and waited. After the water cleared, he put the cork back in again.

He fetched water and poured it into the wooden bucket, and then pulled the rope again, and the wooden bucket turned again, and the hammer inside drove the clothes to stir again, and the water quickly became cloudy.

After several times in a row, Wang Ershi took the clothes out of the barrel and wrung out the water in the clothes.

After drying the clothes, he looked into the bucket and found that the place where the mallet was connected was broken again.

This has happened countless times, and almost once the clothes are washed, the contents will be damaged once.

Wang Ershi first used wood, and then bamboo. In fact, what he wanted to use most was steel. As a child, he could not afford to get steel, so he could only prepare some extra bamboo joints at home for later use.

Wang Ershi took out the bamboo joints from the yard, and after measuring the length and size, he picked up the knife and cut it quickly, and then replaced the damaged parts.

clap clap clap!

Wang Ershi looked up and saw someone standing at the door of his house looking at him and clapping his hands.

"Dean?" Wang Ershi was a little surprised.

It turned out that the person who clapped his hands was the dean he had met in the academy before.

The dean smiled and asked, "Can I come in?"

Wang Ershi wiped his hands with the backs of his clothes, "Come in, please sit here with the dean." He moved a stool.

The dean waved his hand kindly, "Then you don't have to sit down. I came here to find someone. Do you know a man named Wang Meng in your village? I don't think he signed up, so I came here to have a look. It happened that you used This thing is for laundry."

Wang Ershi smiled cautiously, "Is the dean looking for Wang Meng? His house is in the far west, and the most dilapidated mud house is his house. His family is too poor and has no money to sign up."

"It's just [-] Wen for books. Isn't it easy to get it together? And I heard that all the middle-aged people in your Zhuangzi go to work in the factory. This money should be easy to pay for." the dean asked.

Wang Ershi waved his hand, "No, no, Wang Meng is different from us. His father died of illness when he was two years old, and his mother remarried later. He was brought up by a blind grandmother. He lives on a piece of land the size of a palm, and occasionally the village will help him out. His family is so poor that he can’t afford the [-] Wen. Even if he can afford it, he still has to take care of grandma, so he won’t go.”

The dean became thoughtful after hearing this. This kind of thing is very common in the countryside. There are such poor families in almost every village.

"It's okay, just come and visit." The dean took another look at the big wooden barrel, and asked Wang Ershi, "Your stuff is pretty good, have you ever thought about selling it?"

"Sell?" Wang Ershi was surprised, "Is this stuff still for sale? I made it by lazily doing laundry."

The dean smiled, and then patted him on the shoulder, "Of course they can be sold. I know there is a place that collects some weird inventions. If you are willing to sell them, I can inquire about them for you."

Wang Ershi simply nodded, "Sell, you can only sell it, of course I am willing to sell it."

With money, he can save his parents from having to go out to work.

Two or three days later, the dean came to Wang Ershi's house again.

This time he didn't come alone, but brought a young man with him.

As soon as the young man entered the yard, he saw the wooden bucket that Wang Ershi had brought out, studied it a bit, and then asked Wang Ershi to wash his clothes.

This time, I washed thick cotton clothes in winter, and basically the bamboo knots inside would break off after a while.

Changing the bamboo joints again and again, Wang Ershi blushed, thinking that this thing is so easy to break, it must not be sold.

The other party didn't care at all. After the clothes were washed, Wang Ershi wrung them dry with him.

The summer sun is very strong, and after almost half an hour, the clothes are almost dry.

The other party brought the clothes over to see that the place that was full of stains had been washed clean, and smelled them again, and the saponin smell on the clothes was very light.

The other party nodded in satisfaction, and then said to Wang Ershi, "I need to take that thing home and study it, and then I can pay for it according to its value."

Wang Ershi was a little bit reluctant, and took the things away without proof. He is not a fool.

But this person was brought by the dean, and he was too embarrassed to refuse.

At this time, the dean next to him was not happy, "I asked you to evaluate the value of the things, not to take them away directly. And this is a child, do you have the nerve to take advantage of him?"

The young man rolled his eyes at him, "Don't worry, the money will definitely be given."

Then he said to Wang Ershi. "If you sell this thing for money now, I can give you 100 taels of silver to buy it out. It means that this invention has nothing to do with you in the future. Of course, you can also choose another way, which is to invest in technology, and you can sell it in the future. Divide it for you."

As soon as he heard 100 taels of silver, Wang Ershi felt dizzy.

It's like in modern times, a middle school student accidentally made something, and suddenly someone ran over and told him to buy it for 10 yuan.

10 yuan is definitely a huge fortune for a middle school student.

The same 100 taels was also a shock to Wang Ershi.

100 taels of silver, Wang Ershi is still thinking about how much it is, and the family's savings over the years are only more than five taels.

The dean next to him stopped talking, and only looked at how Wang Ershi would choose.After all, this is the third meeting, and he can at most help him lead the way, and it is impossible to help him make decisions everywhere.

"Well, have you thought about it?" the young man asked.

Wang Ershi's head was stuck, and he asked again, "If I choose the second one, how much will my monthly dividend be?"

The young man smiled immediately, "Your product is still a bit crude, and it can only be used for our reference. In the future, we will transform it into a more convenient laundry appliance. So if you take a share, you won't get much dividends. Just sell it If you buy one, you can probably get ten coins."

One set costs ten Wen, then one hundred sets is worth one tael, and 100 sets can get [-] taels.

Wang Ershi was a little hesitant. This choice is to tell him whether he wants to get quick money or slow money.

If it is fast money, it is the buyout price, and if it is slow money, it can keep flowing.

After all, he himself doubted whether this machine could sell [-] units.

"I'll choose the second one." Wang Ershi gritted his teeth, and he took a gamble.

The dean gave the young man a wink, this level is enough, don't squeeze people too much.

The young man cheerfully took out the pre-prepared contract letter of intent from his arms, and filled in the negotiated numbers in some empty positions.

Having won an invention for such a small amount of money, the young man felt that the deal was worth it.

After signing the contract, the dean asked Wang Ershi to keep the contract.

The young man said to him, "Don't forget to sign the contract tomorrow. The address is written on the contract. If you don't understand it, you can ask someone. It's best to bring the adults in your family and open another account in the bank. After the things are sold, the annual dividends will be transferred to the bank account."

He nodded confusedly.

Together with the young man, the dean lifted the laundry bucket and put it on the carriage next to him.

Wang Ershi watched the carriage leave, turned around and jumped up excitedly.

On the carriage, the dean lowered the curtains, and said to the young man with some dissatisfaction, "You were not like this before, you actually squeezed a child's money."

The dean and the young man came out of the same orphanage before. When they were studying, they entered Zhuangzi's research institute because young people like to invent things the most.

The dean continued to study, and after he was admitted to the scholar's honor, he felt that it was difficult for him to go further, so he signed up to manage an academy.

The first batch of deans selected were all assigned to the academies in the suburbs of the capital. It was a coincidence that the dean passed by Wang Ershi's house a few days ago, and when he saw his invention, he was astonished, and then introduced this invention to himself. former friends.

However, what he didn't expect was that this friend had changed, and he put profit first. He knew that those old craftsmen who invented new tools in the factory could have a [-]% dividend. Money?Just like sending someone.

The young man has his own reasons, "You don't understand this matter, I have my own reasons why I don't give more money to outsiders."

The dean stared at him, "Then tell me, I want to see what your reasons are."

The young man looked at the letter of intent he had just signed in his hand, and said: "In the past, we also gave dividends to outsiders, but some people's whole life changed as soon as they became rich. It is easy to go astray. Many bad things happened later, such as because of getting rich, family money was robbed, and people had accidents. After having more money, they did not work and were lured to gamble. Afterwards, we After discussion, it was decided that no money will be given to any inventions received from outside, and they can be helped in other ways.”

"For example, Wang Ershi, who is still young, has real insight and can absorb it into Zhuangzi. If it is just a flash in the pan, the annual dividends can be extended appropriately, enough for his family to improve their lives. As for the extra money , we will use the donations to help some poor children go to school.” The dividends made by things are not always distributed, there is a deadline, usually five years.Five years is enough time for this product to be updated.

The young man looked at the dean and said, "Of course you can't tell Wang Ershi these things."

The dean sighed, "Forget it, I don't understand what you're talking about." No wonder such a big academy only charges for books, and those who don't deserve the salary are allocated money from above. It turns out that this is how the money comes from.

The dean didn't know whether the money was a good thing or a bad thing for Wang Ershi.

But the young man patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, Wang Ershi is definitely not in the wrong. No one will take the things out and throw them to others. At least we will give him money." Although it was very little.

The carriage drove for about three hours before entering a big village.

The entire Dazhuangzi is not surrounded by stone walls and built high up from a small fortress, and there are people patrolling it.

The carriage detoured for a while in the village before arriving at the gate of a secluded courtyard.There are three large characters written on the plaque in the yard, "Research Institute."

The dean looked at the surrounding scenery nostalgicly, "I haven't been here for a long time, the changes here are really great."

The young man smiled, "Isn't it a big change? The change inside is even bigger. You probably don't know that many craftsmen from the Imperial City Manufacturing Office have come to our village." He said and led the dean out of the carriage.

"Because of these more people, Zhuangzi has expanded again."

"Come here, help me carry something." The young man called into the research institute.

After about 2 minutes, three people ran out, "Wu Hui, what did you do today?"

As soon as I went out, I saw the dean, "Hey, isn't this Liu Yu'an?"

Dean Liu Yu'an also laughed when he saw those people. It turned out that they were all acquaintances, and they had studied in an academy before.

The three of them stopped beside the carriage, "So you also know Liu Yu'an?" Then they handed over to the dean, "Long time no see, I heard that I was admitted as a scholar, congratulations."

The dean replied: "After graduation, everyone dispersed. I didn't expect you to enter the research institute and become colleagues with Wu Hui."

Wu Hui who was on the side said, "Okay, Fatty, Lao Liu, and Xiaodao go in later to talk, and move this big guy in quickly."

"Okay." The thin knife poked his head into the carriage to look.

Fatty and Old Liu on the side also followed, and the three of them moved the barrel down together.

If the dean wanted to help, he was stopped by Wu Hui, "Don't worry, the three of them will do it."

Fatty, Old Liu, and Xiaodao said as they walked, "Yes, yes, you are a guest, how can you keep you busy, this is not heavy, we can just move it, and Wu Hui took Brother Liu to sit in."

The dean saw a few of them and knew that they didn't have so many rules, so he followed Wu Hui in.

"Wait, let's put it in the yard. In the afternoon, please invite Mr. Zhang to take a look and study how to modify it." Wu Hui directed several people to put the laundry bucket in the yard.

The fat man asked, "Wu Hui, what is this thing? It looks quite heavy." He touched the big wooden stick, then pulled the rope, and the wooden stick inside started to spin quickly.

The fat man backed away in shock.

The other two stretched their heads to look, "I guess it's for kneading."

"No, it should be used to extract oil."

The two quarreled.

Wu Hui led the dean into the room, "No matter these three, we have to argue for a while."

The dean smiled, "The three of them used to love to get together when they were studying, but I didn't expect it to be the same after many years."

Then it occurred to me that these three were not materials for studying at the beginning, and they didn't have much creative talent, so they were supposed to be unable to enter the research institute.

The dean asked a question.

Wu Hui explained: "Lao Liu's father is an old craftsman in the research institute. He has made great contributions to the research institute. Later, he asked for three places from the higher-ups and stuffed these three people in. They are only responsible for some of the research institutes. Odd jobs, such as helping to carry things, tidy up parts and so on."

The dean nodded, no matter where there are related households.

"Sit for a while, it's time to eat, I'll have someone bring the food." Wu Hui shouted outside.

The fat man came in shaking his fat body, "Brother Hui, what are you calling me?"

Wu Hui asked him, "Is the canteen closed?"

Fatty nodded, "It's closed, but the small speculation window is still open."

Wu Hui took out a stack of meal tickets and handed them over, "Okay, go and see what dishes are available, order some for me, and I'm going to treat Yu'an to dinner today."

"Hey!" Fatty took it neatly.

After eating, Wu Hui took the dean around for a walk.

"How do you look at this? It's not bad, it can test the flexibility of the child's brain. Have you thought about ordering a few sets for your academy?"

The dean smiled, "You showed me feelings for a long time, are you trying to sell these things to me?"

Wu Hui rubbed his nose in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, this has become a habit. I used to bring some people to push these things. With you, some words were said without paying attention."

At this time, two bells rang in the distance, and Wu Hui said to the dean, "Okay, it's two o'clock, and it's time for Mr. Zhang and the others to start working. Let them study how that thing can be transformed into, and then make an estimate. A suitable price. Don’t worry, your referral fee will not hurt you.” Many inventions are discovered by accident, but some people don’t realize it.

Those who also come from this Zhuangzi, no matter children or adults, understand the importance of creation. Even if they don't create it by themselves, if they introduce it and make sure it can be converted into a product, they can get an introduction fee of [-]% of the estimated value.

For example, if this washing bucket is estimated to sell for a hundred taels of silver, then the dean can get a reward of 20 taels of silver.

Of course, the laundry bucket must not be sold for less than a hundred taels of silver. This is just a metaphor, but it is free after all. As long as you have a pair of eyes that are good at discovering, you can get this reward.

In recent years, Zhuangzi has produced an endless stream of inventions. Except for Zhuangzi's own research, most of them were discovered by the people.

When Wu Hui brought the dean back, the Zhang Gong he was talking about had already been studying around the barrel with other craftsmen.

The dean even saw that the wood had been torn apart.

"The parts inside are simple, we can figure it out after a little research." A craftsman murmured to Mr. Zhang.

Zhang Gong patted the wooden barrel, "It's simple to say, but why didn't anyone think of it? Now that someone made it, this invention is theirs."

In the research institute, there is no one who steals the invention of this kind of saying. Don’t talk about it. You first research it and make a sample. After the research institute confirms that no one declares this new thing, it belongs to your invention.

The washing bucket made by Wang Ershi is very simple, not as complicated as the rice shelling machine.Probably the last few craftsmen looked at it a little bit, and basically knew how to do it, but no one thought about it.

"Okay, I'll transform some parts into steel and study it again." Zhang Gong turned his head and said to Wu Hui.

"Tomorrow they will come to sign the contract, so we have to calculate the cost. I quoted a price of ten wending tripods for each set."

"Ten Wen?" Mr. Zhang nodded, "The price is too low."

As he spoke, he patted the wood, looked at the fat man next to him, and said, "If you guys are okay, move all these things to my side."

The fat man nodded quickly, "Okay, Mr. Zhang, you go back first, and we will definitely help you move there."

Zhang Gong said to Wu Hui again, "The cost of an extra [-] Wen will definitely not be a loss. I will take it away first, and I will tell you how much it will cost after I make a new one." You can talk about it within the text.

Wu Hui sent these people away with a smile, then shrugged towards the dean, "It seems that there is no way to know today."

The dean said: "It's okay, just take advantage of this time to go back quickly, and I will come with Wang Ershi tomorrow."

"All right, let me see if there is a bus to Jingshili and ask someone to take you there." The academy has not yet started, and the dean still lives in the city, so he only goes to the academy every morning.

After returning to the city, the dean happened to meet Wang Ershi and his father in front of the city gate, and it was a coincidence that they happened to meet.

"Father, this is the dean of the academy." Wang Ershi tugged at his father's clothes.

"Principal, you are really a good person. You are willing to teach the children in our village to read for nothing." Wang Ershi's father is an honest man, seeing the dean is like seeing a benefactor.

The dean waved his hand, "Don't be so polite, this academy is run by someone else, and I'm just working for someone else. It's the host who doesn't charge your tuition, it's not my decision." Looking at the father and son, he asked, " Are we going back?"

Wang Ershi's father said, "Yes, the thing that Xiaoer said was made by others is very popular. If you need to sign any contract tomorrow, you will need an adult to follow. I just asked for a day off and will come with me tomorrow."

The dean immediately laughed, "Wang Ershi, didn't you tell your father that I introduced you?"

Wang Ershi blushed in embarrassment, and said, "Dean, haven't you had time yet? I originally planned to tell my father when I got home."

After Wang Ershi's father heard these words, he immediately thanked the dean, "It turned out to be you, and it was you who helped me. I am so grateful to you."

The dean hurriedly replied: "You're welcome, it's just a coincidence. I happened to pass by your house and saw Ershi washing clothes with things. After watching for a while, I thought that a friend was collecting these strange things, so I helped to hold the thread." Ershi is smart enough to come up with this kind of utensil."

"Ershi learned from his uncle, who was a carpenter before he entered the city. Ershi would often help his uncle. After his uncle entered the city, he took over his uncle's tools. Sometimes I play alone." Wang Ershi's father sighed, "I went to the city with his mother in the past two years, but I couldn't manage him. He might have figured out this thing himself. I really didn't expect to be able to do it one day. Take it for money."

The dean then patted Ershi's head, and then asked: "I don't have a car to go back so late, why don't you rest at my place for a night. Don't you still go to Zhuangzi tomorrow? It just so happens that I will go too, just so take you."

"No, no, no, I've already hired an ox cart." Wang Ershi's father looked grateful, "The dean will go tomorrow too? That's really great." He was still a little worried at first, saying that he was going to sign the contract. The son is illiterate.It would be great if the dean also went. After all, he is the dean of the academy. Isn't it trivial to know how to read?
