31. Chapter 31 Arrangements
"Old, sir, the younger one can recognize words. Can you let the younger one try?" Ning Zhiyuan felt that he should seize this opportunity, so he took the initiative to go forward and salute Huangshi, and said to Huangshi, "The younger one has also read books at home."
"Oh, you can also understand words, so you can try it." Although Huang Shi felt a little strange, he still handed him the pencil in his hand.
After taking the pencil, Ning Zhiyuan felt a little difficult to get off because this pencil was very different from the brush he had practiced before. Although it was also a long pen stick, there was no pen tip made of rabbit hair in front. The front end of the pen was cut into a round pointed tip, and the outward part seemed to be a small black tip.
Huang Shi saw that Ning Zhiyuan was a little hesitant and knew that it was his first time to come into contact with a pencil. Even the way he took the pencil just now was wrong, so he took the pencil from Ning Zhiyuan's hand again, "Come on, I'll teach you, Zhiyuan, see how I took this pen." After saying that, Huang Shi held the pencil with three fingers to make a demonstration, wrote a few words on the paper, and then handed the pen to Ning Zhiyuan, signaling him to try again.
Ning Zhiyuan first clumsyly held the pen, then thought about it, and made some adjustments. After looking at Huangshi, Huangshi nodded to him with a smile, "Yes, that's it. You are not used to using this kind of pencil now, but you will know that it is very useful in the future. Come on, write down the few numbers I just read, and A Xiu's name."
"By the way, A Xiu, what's your surname? Your name is the word Xiu, right?" Huang Shi turned around and asked A Xiu beside him.
"Sir, the youngest was originally surnamed Lin, and he ranked 9th in his clan. Everyone in his family called me A 9th girl. Later, in the Ma family shop, Ma thought the little name was too ugly, so he changed it to Ma Xiu. The youngest asked the gentleman to give him a new name." After saying that, A Xiu bowed to Huang Shifu. She knew in front that the master did not like others to call himself a slave, so she called herself a younger one according to Ning Zhiyuan.
When he saw a little maid calling him a young man, he was so uncomfortable that he could give her a new name. Huang Shi remembered that the slaves bought in ancient times usually had to change their surnames to the master's surname. The maid's name was generally spring flowers and autumn moons. If the original surnames of these servants were still retained by the master's family, then it would be a great kindness for these servants. "You should not call him a young man or a servant in our own home in the future, nor should you call him a master or a young master. If you don't like this, you can call him a gentleman directly, you or me. As for when you are outside, when there are outsiders present, we will follow the original name, but don't kneel down at any time, do you know?"
"Sir, we know, we must do what the teacher said." These two are smart children, so they understand Huangshi's meaning at first glance. Anyway, each family has its own rules, and there is always nothing wrong with following the rules of the master's family.
"As for your name, you don't need to change it anymore. You can't forget the kindness of your parents' birth and raising. Ah Xiu, you should call him Lin Xiu in the future. What about you, Ning Zhiyuan," Huang Shi turned around and asked Ning Zhiyuan.
"Sir, my name was Ning Zhiyuan, but later I changed it to Ma Zhiyuan by Mr. Ma. But when you ask, I changed it myself." After Ning Zhiyuan said that, he wiped his red eyes with the back of his hand. The same is true for Lin Xiu. It turned out that these two people were aroused by Huang Shi's grace of giving birth to parents and relatives.
"Oh, poor children." Huang Shi saw that they were really pitiful, so he continued, "If you have achieved success in the future and make achievements for your husband, you will pay for your parents and relatives to come over to live together."
...
Huang Shi and Zhou Mingrui finally comforted the few children who had just cried, and couldn't help but sweat on their foreheads. They thought they didn't expect that a good word from him would cause such a big disturbance. First, Ning Zhiyuan couldn't help crying, and then A Xiu. When the children in the west wing heard the content of the two children's crying, they aroused emotional resonance. They were all absent from their parents, so they started to cry. The Muziyuan finally rang out, and it turned out that he remembered the mother he had never seen before.
As a result, the crying woke Awen who had been sleeping. "Yeah", her voice caught Ning Zhiyuan who had already calmed down and immediately ran to Awen, "Sister Awen, Sister Awen, are you awake? Are you awake?"
Awen opened her eyes reluctantly and saw a little bald head in a vague way, her eyes were a little red and swollen, and tears flowed on her face. She was a little familiar, "Where am I? Am I dead?" She murmured to herself.
"Sister Awen, Sister Awen, I am Xiaoyuan, I am Xiaoyuan. You have been bought by your husband and cured by your husband." Ning Zhiyuan held Awen's hand tightly and lay on her. In his heart, Awen was his sister.
"It's Xiaoyuan, am I not dead yet? I thought I would meet my father and mother this time, and I miss them so much." After saying that, Awen also started crying.
"Zhiyuan, Awen has just woken up, and her body is still very weak. You must make her sad, otherwise she will cry and ruin her body." Huang Shi was sweating profusely and quickly pressed Ning Zhiyuan's shoulder gently.
"Guosheng, Guozhu, you two go to cook rice. You are going to cook rice for your seven children. Today you need some thick porridge. Remember to put some red dates and I and Mingrui and others out to eat." Huangshi saw several children who were still staying outside and ordered, "Guosheng, Ziyuan, you two help boil hot water, let the three of them take a shower, change into clean clothes, and use the pullovers that the gentleman had given you."
Huang Shi thought about it and ordered A Xiu, "By the way, A Wen's illness has just recovered and her body is still weak. A Xiu, just help her wipe her body with hot water."
The children assigned to the task all answered yes. When Wang Xiaoya saw Huang Shi finish writing the height and length of the three people, she was about to turn around and leave. She hurriedly grabbed Huang Shi's hand and shook it, "Sir, sir, what about me, what am I going to do?"
"You," Huang Shi saw that Xiao Ya was a little anxious, and thought about it, pinched her little nose, "Okay, then I'll arrange for you to explain to them later. Is there any rules in our family good? Let them abide by them well, can it be okay?"
