In Li Qian's small courtyard.
Yaya held the pencil Li Qian specially made for her and practiced calligraphy with a distressed look on her face.
Although learning Pinyin made her able to read very quickly, knowing it and being able to write it are two different things.
When Li Qian went on a long trip, he left her a story book filled with pinyin. Now, she knew almost all the words in the book, but she couldn't write many.
When she was in Beiba Village, there were a group of children studying with Yaya, and she could even act as a little teacher, which made her very motivated to learn.
But now, she just feels why these words are so difficult to write.
"Dad, what are you doing?" She would take a break from time to time and rub her sore little arms.
"Grinding lenses!" Li Qian was indeed polishing several lenses.
In fact, the colorless glass has already been produced by Iron Pillar, but he has not yet planned to make the mirror available so early.
But it’s still possible to get some gadgets.
"What are you doing grinding lenses?" Yaya asked.
"Make a telescope." Li Qian said.
"What is a telescope?" Yaya asked again.
"You'll know when dad makes it," Li Qian said.
"Dad, when are we moving?" Yaya was quiet for a while, then asked again and again.
"Soon." Li Qian said.
"Dad, I really want to eat the barbecue you made." Yaya licked her tongue.
Ever since her father brought something called cumin back from that Western Qiang country last time, the roasted meat was really fragrant and left her with endless aftertaste.
"If you don't practice the words that daddy asked you to practice today, you won't be able to eat!" Li Qian picked up the lenses that he had been grinding for a long time and took a look at them. It seemed that they were still not working well.
Yaya's face turned pale and she didn't dare to speak anymore. What she was most afraid of was not having food to eat.
But after a while, she couldn't hold it in anymore.
She didn't dare to talk to Li Qian, so she turned to look at Huang Sanmei, who was also practicing calligraphy.
"Sister Huang, your handwriting is so beautiful!"
Huang Sanmei was illiterate before, so she learned to read from Yaya.
Although she is not like Yaya who can spend more time studying, she will be very serious when studying.
She said without raising her head, "Be careful you don't have anything to eat."
Yaya pouted, Sister Huang's handwriting was so ugly!
"Li Qian!"
At this moment, Wu Xianxian rushed into the yard angrily.
"My shopkeeper Wu, what are you doing?" Li Qian put down his glasses and asked.
Yaya also stopped writing. Hey, it seemed like there was a lot of excitement now. She didn't need to practice calligraphy anymore.
Huang Sanmei was not affected at all and was still practicing calligraphy very seriously.
"Li Qian, why don't you leave Liuli's business to me?" Wu Xianxian asked as if she wanted to eat people.
"What do I care about? It's not a big deal. Is it worthy for Shopkeeper Wu to come here angrily?" Li Qian shrugged.
"Isn't it a big deal?" Wu Xianxian's eyes widened, "Li Qian, that's colored glaze, it's worth thousands of gold!"
"Shopkeeper Wu, Yaya is practicing calligraphy. Let's go inside and talk about anything." Li Qian said.
Wu Xianxian glanced at Yaya.
Yaya also immediately held the pen in a decent manner, writing with a very serious look.
Wu Xianxian didn't say anything and went directly into the house.
When Li Qian came into the house, he turned around and said, "Yaya, remember what dad said, be careful not to eat."
Yaya pretended to hold the pen and her hand shook a little. She felt like she was about to cry. It seemed that if she didn't practice her calligraphy well today, she would really have nothing to eat.
Huang Sanmei on the side just finished writing on a piece of paper. She stopped writing for a moment and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
Little girl, no matter how naughty you are, you can't fool your father.
"Where's Yun Niang? Why isn't she at home?" Entering the house, Wu Xianxian found that Yun Niang was not at home. She and Li Qi'an were the only ones in the house, so it would easily cause misunderstandings.
"She was invited into the palace by the Seventh Princess." Li Qian poured a cup of tea for Wu Xianxian, "Aren't you afraid that a man and a woman are alone in the same room?"
"Bah, who is alone with you? I have been to your house countless times. Besides, Yaya and Third Sister are outside. What does this girl have to be afraid of?" Wu Xianxian spat with a blush.
Yun Niang was not at home, so she was really a little awkward, but for Liuli's sake, she didn't care. Besides, it's not like I've never been alone with this guy before. We even lived in the same room when we were in Shiliang City.
It's just that this guy's status is getting higher and higher. Thinking of some of the past things, it's really like a dream. But in her opinion, no matter how high this guy's status is, she is his shopkeeper.
Li Qian smiled and said, "As long as you're not afraid, let's talk about business."
"Wait, Li Qian, what are you holding in your hand?" Wu Xianxian noticed that Li Qian was still holding several lenses in his hand.
