It wasn't an easy thing for Aunt Liu to secretly send him away back then.
If Yun Zhaoruo suddenly comes to her door now, she will definitely do everything in her power to stop her and will never admit what she did back then.
The Jiang family originally only had one child, Jiang Yang, and now they've given him to their legitimate son to compete with her son for the family fortune.
Would she easily let Yun Zhao into the house?
If Jiang Zai Shui also knew about Yun Zhao's existence, he naturally wouldn't have allowed Yun Zhao to enter the door. If he didn't know about Yun Zhao's existence...
As long as Aunt Liu stubbornly refuses to admit it, it's obvious which side Jiang Zaishui is on.
If Yun Zhao were a beautiful woman, Jiang Zai Shui would naturally come and snatch her away.
But now, he probably doesn't even want Yun Zhao to enter his home.
Chen Yan understood her concerns, nodded and smiled, "That's fine, Zhao'er can stay at her maternal grandfather's house, so she can spend more time with him."
"Yun Sheng, Yun Zhao will stay in your courtyard. You can take care of them nearby, and it will be more lively with more people," Chen Yan arranged.
When Qu Zhao heard his maternal grandfather call his eldest uncle Yun Zhao, he slowly stood up and clasped his hands together.
Everyone looked at him at the same time, and Chen Yan, seeing his expression, assumed that he disliked the arrangement.
"Does Zhao'er not like his maternal grandfather's arrangement?" Chen Yan asked him with concern.
Yun Zhao shook his head, somewhat embarrassed to speak. No one was in a hurry or urging him; they just waited for him to speak.
He pursed his lips and bowed to Chen Yunsheng.
Chen Yunsheng was puzzled. "What's wrong with this child? Get up, get up quickly."
Yun Zhao finally spoke, saying, "I had no intention of offending you, Uncle. Please forgive me."
Chen Yunsheng laughed heartily. "Oh... tell me, how did you offend your uncle?" Seeing his embarrassed expression, he added, "How could your uncle not know that you offended me?"
Chen Yunsheng asked him in a joking tone, afraid that he would feel uncomfortable.
“My nephew has no relatives since he was a child, so no one would name me. They all call me Ah Gou. There is nothing wrong with being called Ah Gou. Children from ordinary families have lowly names so they can live a better life. But they do it to humiliate me.”
I just chose this name for myself, and I never expected it to be the same character as my uncle's. I, your nephew, have failed to avoid using the taboo word associated with my elders, and I ask for your forgiveness.
Chen Yunsheng nodded approvingly. Zhao'er even knew to avoid using the words of elders, which showed that he was a smart child, even though his family didn't pay much attention to such things.
But if they both appear in the same place, it's bound to be a laughing stock when others call out to them.
Yun Zhao turned to Chen Yan and bowed, "I humbly request my maternal grandfather to bestow a name upon his grandson."
Everyone was delighted. They discovered that although the child was small and thin, he was definitely not spoiled.
Compared to Jiang Yang, who was raised in the Jiang family mansion, she was far superior.
Chen Yan stroked his beard thoughtfully, probably concentrating on thinking of a name for Yun Zhao.
"If you really like this name, you don't need to change it. Your uncle doesn't mind." Chen Yunsheng had a slight worry in his heart that he would be laughed at later.
On second thought, such a good child probably wouldn't be allowed to be laughed at. He wouldn't stay in Kyoto for long anyway, and besides, it was a name he chose for himself. It must have given him courage and strength during those days.
Yun Zhao smiled as he looked at Chen Yunsheng; this was the happiest smile he had had in years.
Chen Yunsheng thought he was happy because he didn't have to change his name!
His genuine smile was full of happiness, and his awkwardness had lessened. "Back then, I had no relatives, so I could only give myself a name. Now that I have relatives, I want them to give me a name, so that my nephew will always know that he has relatives and is loved."
Ms. Yu was overwhelmed with heartache, like a round, bubbly balloon wanting to find an outlet to send out all her care.
She looked at Yun Zhao with affection.
Mrs. Xu wiped away her tears with a handkerchief.
This child is likely to amount to something great; Chen Yan believes his judgment of people is usually pretty good.
Yun Zhao is strong and resilient, reasonable and sensible, and has never felt inferior despite being bullied for so many years.
His eyes and heart were filled with satisfaction.
Chen Shiyu also felt sorry for his cousin, but when he saw his mother's heart, it melted away and he got angry.
When will I be able to care about him like this?
As he thought this, childhood memories flooded his mind.
"Shiyu, wake up. I made your favorite plum blossom cake."
"Shiyu, the sun's already high in the sky, get up quickly, Mom made you chestnut cake."
"Shiyu, we're going to the temple fair today. Get up quickly, Mom will take you there in a bit..."
Every time I get up, the first thing I do is memorize my lessons.
Forget it... let's share some of this care with others!
He can't take it!!!
Chen Yan thought of a few names, but he was not satisfied with any of them and rejected them.
I can't make up my mind right now.
Chen Shiyu suppressed the memories in his mind and slowly spoke, shifting his thoughts, "How about Mingzhao? Just change the middle character?"
Chen Yan silently recited it a few times in his mind and thought it was good.
He looked at Yun Zhao as if asking a question, letting him choose for himself, since it was his name.
Yun Zhao wore a sincere and happy smile the whole time, and he truly felt the warmth of his family.
With a gleam in her eyes, she asked, "Second cousin, is this 'the bright light that comforts me and hopes for my enlightenment'?"
"You've been to school?" Chen Shiyu asked in surprise.
Everyone looked at Yun Zhao with puzzled expressions, waiting for his answer.
Yun Zhao nodded, "My third uncle taught me."
"Uncle Xiaosan was the only scholar in that village, but his wife and daughter died the year after he passed the imperial examination. He became despondent and came to work on the estate."
