Chapter 115 Waiting for Her
Jiang Shu nodded, and just as he was about to speak, Zhuiyun came to report.
"Master, hot water and food are ready."
Jiang Shu looked at Yu Zheng and noticed that he looked tired.
"Go back and have a meal and rest. I don't have anything important to do."
She was just curious, but it was not as important as Yu Zheng's rest.
She originally thought that Yu Zheng rested during the day, but now it seems that he has not closed his eyes all day and night.
"It's almost dinner time, you can eat with me." Yu Zheng said without giving Jiang Shu a chance to refuse, and turned around and left.
Jiang Shu had no choice but to follow.
Although he didn't have lunch, Yu Zheng didn't have much appetite because he was worried about everything. But because Jiang Shu was there, he felt a little better and ate half a bowl of rice more than usual.
The two did not say anything during the meal, but as long as Jiang Shu sat in front of him, Yu Zheng felt happy and comfortable.
After the meal, Zhuiyun urged Yu Zheng to take a bath to prevent the cold.
Jiang Shu hurriedly stood up and said goodbye: "My Lord, please rest early. I'm going back."
It was almost dark, and the clouds were thick and it seemed that it would rain again.
Yu Zheng knew that he could not keep her any longer, so he said: "Can you come over tomorrow? I need your help."
Yu Zheng helped her a lot, but this was the first time he asked her for help, so Jiang Shu naturally would not refuse.
"Okay, I'll come again tomorrow."
On the way back in the carriage, Jiang Shu kept thinking, what could Yu Zheng need her help with?
"Patta, patter..." Before reaching the inn, the raindrops could not wait to fall.
Looking at the darkening sky, Jiang Shu couldn't help but think of last night.
Tomorrow he must ask Yu Zheng how they captured Zhao Renxian.
The next morning, Tan Yu opened the window and looked at the rain outside, frowning.
"Why is it still raining? If it keeps raining like this, how can we get back to the capital?"
Jiang Shu looked at the houses shrouded in rain mist in the distance, and suddenly realized, "The rainy season in Jiangnan has arrived."
They were afraid that they would not be able to leave for a while.
Thinking of Yu Zheng's words yesterday, Jiang Shu said softly, "Let's go to the prefectural governor's mansion when the rain stops."
With nothing to do, Jiang Shu picked up a book and read it, glancing out the window from time to time, waiting for the rain to stop.
Under the same rain, Yu Zheng also held a book and sat in the living room waiting for Jiang Shu to come.
Near noon, the rain was a little lighter. Jiang Shu put down the book and said, "Let's go. I'm afraid the rain won't stop today."
"Oh." Tan Yu, who was dozing off, got up and stretched his waist.
The master and servant went to the prefectural government in the misty drizzle.
The wide streets were washed clean by the rain, but there were few pedestrians.
Out of the instinct of a businessman, Jiang Shu thought of business when he saw this scene.
Although the shops on both sides of the street were open, almost no one patronized them because of the rain.
The rainy season in Jiangnan usually lasts for one or two months, which has a great impact on business.
Jiang Shu sighed at the rain, wondering how Jiang Ji Yi Manor was doing? When can they return to Beijing?
While his thoughts were flying, the carriage stopped: "Master, we're here."
The gatekeeper had seen Jiang Shu yesterday and had received instructions from Yu Zheng. So after seeing Jiang Shu, he did not report and let her in directly.
In the guest house, Yu Zheng finished flipping through a book and looked outside.
"Master, it has been raining today. I'm afraid Miss Jiang will not come." Zhuiyun changed the pot of hot tea.
Yu Zheng didn't say anything, but stared at the outside.
Suddenly, an oil-paper umbrella appeared in the empty yard, and a thin figure was walking under the umbrella.
Yu Zheng's dark eyes lit up, and he put down the book and sat upright.
Zhuiyun, who had his back to the door, heard the footsteps, turned his head and looked outside, and said happily: "Miss Jiang, you are finally here."
Jiang Shu put away her umbrella and walked into the house, her almond eyes flickering: "What? Are we late?"
"Not late, Miss Jiang, please sit down." Zhuiyun hurriedly poured another cup of hot tea.
After Jiang Shu sat down, Yu Zheng asked her: "Did you get wet in the rain?"
Jiang Shu shook her head and got straight to the point: "Why did the prince ask me to come?"
Tan Yu was also very curious and listened. Yu
Zheng tapped the table with his slender fingers and said slowly: "How do you think we should properly settle those children in Beggar Lane?"
Jiang Shu was startled, and thought of what she saw that day, and realized that this matter was extremely important.
"Normal children should be well fed and well clothed, and then learn to read and understand reason. If there are those who don't want to study, they should be taught and understand how to behave in society. When the children grow up, they should learn a skill to make a living."
"Well, you and I think the same." Yu Zheng frowned and said, "But it's not easy to do so."
If there are only a few children, they can be taken back to the capital or adopted by a family. But for dozens or hundreds of children, they can only find a place to stay in Lin'an Prefecture.
Jiang Shu frowned and thought for a long time, and suddenly thought of something and his eyes lit up.
"I read in the folk history that there was a kind-hearted nun in Shu who took in a group of homeless children, raised them carefully, and taught them to read and be sensible..."
"Maybe, we can follow suit."
"But where can we find a nunnery willing to take in so many children?" Tan Yu interrupted with a distressed look.
Jiang Shu was amused by her: "Silly Tan Yu, if you can't find one, you can build one yourself."
Tan Yu suddenly realized, and then worriedly said: "Where can I find a kind-hearted nun?"
"Puff!" Jiang Shu really couldn't help but be amused by Tan Yu's stubbornness.
Zhui Yun and Yu Zheng couldn't help laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Tan Yu's clear eyes were full of confusion.
Zhuiyun coughed and smiled, "Miss Jiang is just giving an example. It doesn't matter whether there is a nunnery or a nun. As long as there is a place to stay and someone to take care of and teach you, it will be fine."
After hearing this, Tan Yu finally reacted and felt that she was too stupid to face people.
"What do you think, Lord?" Jiang Shu asked Yu Zheng.
Yu Zheng nodded and said, "This idea is very good. Just use Beggar Lane as the site and renovate it a little to make it a 'Ci'an Courtyard'."
After a pause, Yu Zheng frowned and said, "But the person who takes care of it must be a kind-hearted person who can treat the children sincerely."
Jiang Shu was about to say that she was not familiar with Lin'an Prefecture and didn't know anyone, but suddenly thought of Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang was the kindest person Jiang Shu had ever seen. She didn't dislike the little monkeys and they, and she had sympathy and compassion for them. No one was more suitable than her.
Jiang Shu told Yu Zheng her idea. Yu
Zheng pondered after hearing this and said, "Her husband's family is wealthy, and she is pregnant and about to give birth. She will have to raise her own child in the future. I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to get away."
Jiang Shu fell silent after hearing this. "
Master, Miss Zhao is here." Zhuiyun at the door reported in a low voice.
Zhao Manying walked to the corridor with an umbrella, and only saw Tan Yu and Jiang Shu after she put away the umbrella.
"Hey, Miss Jiang is here too."
Zhao Manying walked into the house briskly and sat down next to Jiang Shu in a familiar manner.
Yu Zheng glanced at Zhao Manying and asked unhappily, "What are you doing here?"
All the members of the Zhao family have been imprisoned, and only Zhao Manying is safe and sound.
But their deal has ended, why did she come to him?
Zhao Manying thought of the business and said respectfully, "I'm here to ask for your resignation from the prince, and I'll leave Lin'an Prefecture tomorrow."
"You're leaving Lin'an Prefecture?" Jiang Shu was slightly surprised.
Zhao Manying nodded and sighed, "The prefectural governor's mansion is my nightmare, I don't want to stay there for a day." "
Then where are you going after you leave?" Jiang Shu asked with concern.
