The next morning, Wen Xinya came to the Mo family with simple luggage.
When Uncle Zhang, Aunt He, and Aunt Jiang learned that she was going to stay at the Mo family for a while, they were all very happy and talked to her for a long time.
Wen Xinya looked around and asked, "Where's Grandpa? Why can't I see him?"
At this time, my grandfather would mostly either stay in the teahouse drinking tea or playing with the chessboard.
Uncle Zhang smiled and said, "Mr. Zhong is here, and he is in the study with the old man."
The old man collected the paintings and calligraphy that the young lady gave to him as if they were treasures. He would take them out every day to appreciate them, and even couldn't help showing off to some of his friends. In the past few days, many people came to appreciate these two masterpieces, and Mr. Zhong was one of them.
Wen Xinya said happily: "Grandpa Zhong is coming? I'll go up and take a look."
After saying that, Wen Xinya ran upstairs. She hadn't seen Grandpa Zhong for a long time.
Wen Xinya came to the door of the study room, which was ajar. She subconsciously peeked into the study room...
"Girl, you are always so sneaky every time you come here. A gentleman doesn't do sneaky things, but you have learned it all." The cold rebuke of Mr. Mo came from the study. It seemed harsh, but if you ignore the affection in his words.
Wen Xinya quietly stuck out her tongue. Since she had been discovered, she was just thick-skinned and pushed open the door of the study with confidence, saying, "I can't say that. I'm just worried that grandpa is writing and reading ancient and modern books. I'm afraid of disturbing him, so I'm so careful."
Mr. Mo looked at Mr. Zhong and shook his head helplessly: "Look, look, you don't learn many skills on weekdays, but you are very good at making specious arguments."
Wen Xinya quickly smiled and greeted Mr. Zhong: "Hello, Grandpa Zhong!"
Mr. Zhong laughed and nodded at Wen Xinya, then looked at Mr. Mo and said, "You are not satisfied with having such a beautiful and well-mannered granddaughter. I think you don't know how to appreciate your blessings."
After saying that, he winked at Wen Xinya.
Wen Xinya understood and gave him a big smile.
Grandpa Mo looked at his granddaughter and felt hesitant to laugh and cry as he saw Lian and his old friends slandering him in front of her.
Old Master Zhong said in a sour tone: "You know that our Zhong family has more males than females. We haven't had a daughter for three generations. I don't know how envious I am that you have a well-behaved and caring granddaughter like Xinya."
This is the truth. Although the Zhong family also has many outstanding children, such as Rufeng, who has been raised by the family since childhood, boys are not as lovable as girls.
Old Master Mo glanced at his granddaughter, who looked quite pleased with herself after being praised, and said calmly, "If you keep praising her like this, her tail will be lifted up to the sky."
Mr. Zhong couldn't help laughing.
Wen Xinya refused to give in and said, "Grandpa, how can you disparage your own granddaughter like this?"
Old Master Mo glared at her and said, "You are so disrespectful. Didn't you see that your Grandpa Zhong is still here?"
Wen Xinya pouted and said unconvincedly: "Grandpa Zhong is not an outsider."
This sentence pleased Mr. Zhong, and he couldn't help laughing: "I like Xinya's straightforward personality. You were not like me when you were young, but you were more and more pedantic as you got older."
Seeing that someone was speaking up for her, Wen Xinya, who had suffered from her grandfather's majesty, became bolder and secretly made a smug face at her grandfather.
After seeing this, Old Master Mo couldn't help but sigh: "By the way, why did you come here today?"
Mr. Mo has also been paying attention to the recent events of Wen's Group regarding the entertainment city. Of course... his focus is naturally on his granddaughter Wen Xinya. He knows that she has been busy recently, so she shouldn't have much time to come to him.
Wen Xinya laughed and said, "Grandpa promised me to stay at the Mo family for a while, so I came here."
She didn't tell her grandfather about this before just to give him a surprise.
Sure enough, the smile on Mr. Mo's face spread out: "You were busy with the college entrance examination before, and some courses were temporarily suspended. Now it's time to resume. It's a rare opportunity to meet your Grandpa Zhong today. I will write a few words for you to see if your calligraphy has improved."
Mr. Zhong smiled and said, "If you don't meet my requirements, I will punish you."
Wen Xinya happily walked to the desk, her features were delicate and clear, her face was radiant, and there was a faint smile on her lips. It was obvious at first glance that she was confident about what she was doing. Obviously... her calligraphy had improved a lot during this period.
Wen Xinya picked up her pen and wrote the opening chapter of the first volume of "The Book of Power and Strategy" by Zhang Juzheng, the chief prime minister of the Wanli Cabinet of the Ming Dynasty.
She stood in front of the desk, her slightly lowered head making her hair look full, smooth and broad. Her beautiful long eyebrows made her look even more imposing, as if her hair was written in the style of Liu, which was vigorous, beautiful, graceful and elegant. Her slightly pursed lips gave her a firm aura, fully revealing the tough style of Liu style.
Mr. Zhong looked at him and nodded repeatedly.
After about ten minutes, Wen Xinya handed the written words to Mr. Zhong.
Mr. Zhong was optimistic and praised: "The previous characters contained the energy of strengthening tendons, and the current characters have the energy of strengthening bones. The structure of strengthening tendons and bones is rigorous, and the momentum is sharp, just like the momentum of rock, hard and strong, and it belongs to the sharp characters. Very good, very good.
A smile appeared on Wen Xinya's face.
Mr. Zhong handed the calligraphy to Mr. Mo. Mr. Mo took a closer look and frowned slightly, saying, "Although the calligraphy is good, the character's character is not good enough. The structure of the characters is rigorous, but it lacks peace. The edges between the characters are sharp, and the hostility is hidden. It has a sharp momentum. Liu style calligraphy emphasizes style and talent, as well as character. Otherwise, there would be no saying that the heart is in the pen, and the pen will be right if the heart is right."
Grandpa Mo was more or less aware that her trip to Country E had allowed her to witness the rule of a country that was completely different from the legal society of Country Z, and that she had personally participated in it, which had affected her state of mind to some extent, hence the deviation in her state of mind.
Grandpa's words made Wen Xinya stunned. When she was feeling proud of Grandpa Zhong's praise for her, grandpa had already sensed through her handwriting that she had a desire to become stronger because of the various things that happened during her trip to Country E, which led to her deviation.
Mr. Mo said calmly: "If you only have this kind of character, even if you are your granddaughter, I will not teach you the art of scheming."
The art of political intrigue is a minor art!
Good or bad is a matter of opinion.
Being kind-hearted and having a good character is the best way.
Those who harbor evil intentions and have weak character are the ones who use the worst tactics.
Si Jiu's father was a rare person with a good character, so he was willing to teach him the basics. Si Jiu had excellent talent and understanding, and he had principles and a heart of Buddha, so he taught him almost everything he knew.
As for Xinya, she was never among his teachers. After all, whether it was because of the environment she was in or because she was his granddaughter, not teaching her was good for her. However, things are unpredictable and the path she needed to take in life was destined to be beyond his control. Being willing to teach her would only allow her to protect herself a little more.
Wen Xinya said solemnly: "Grandpa, I know. During this period of time, I will follow you to make up for the lessons I missed before and polish my character."
Mr. Mo nodded with satisfaction.
