Chapter 200 Nanny's Son
Wuming finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Qian was confused. The prince's wife was fine at first, but then suddenly mentioned the maid's marriage, which made him nervous for a while. But then the scene in front of him appeared.
He, the protagonist, seemed to have suddenly become a marginalized person, but he was happy in his heart.
Both of them had helped him that day, and he was sincerely happy that they could finally get married.
After this interruption, Zhao Qian seemed to relax and no longer felt the nervousness he had when he came to meet the Crown Prince's wife.
However, when he raised his head and looked around, he met a pair of cloudy and tearful eyes.
"Changfu..." When the people in the room were still digesting Wuming's proposal, a choked voice suddenly came to their ears.
Zhao Qian's heart trembled. How many years has it been since he heard this name?
After he was separated from his mother, he was rescued by an old teacher. The teacher's house was also destroyed and his wife and children were missing.
Seeing that he was lonely and helpless, the teacher took him and settled down in a village along the coast.
He was still using the name Jiang Changfu at that time, and he also wanted to see if he could find his mother.
But at this moment, looking at this old yet vaguely familiar face in front of him, Zhao Qian was already in tears, "Mom!"
A cry of "mother" came out after more than ten years.
Madam Zheng took a few quick steps forward, and the man she had mentioned, Changfu, also came forward to meet her. The old man and the young man supported each other, and soon a sobbing sound could be heard from the room...
Everyone watching around was stunned, but after they came to their senses, they couldn't help but sigh for the mother and son, and felt even more happy for them.
Especially Shen Shuyao.
She had asked the prince about the progress of his search two days ago, but she didn't expect that an accidental meeting today would allow the nanny to find the son she had been thinking about day and night.
Nanny Zheng has been with the brother and sister for so many years, and they even regard her as their own junior.
Perhaps it was God who opened his eyes and allowed Manager Yang to discover this young man named Zhao Qian and show him kindness that is rare in the world.
Seeing the mother and child supporting each other and their crying gradually subsiding, Wuming had already retreated.
Thinking about what happened today, he was filled with emotion.
But when he saw that the little maid was only looking at the nanny and didn't notice him leaving, Wuming suddenly felt that his journey to seek marriage was long and arduous.
The Yan Yu Hall gradually became quiet. The maids brought chairs and asked the two to sit down. Then they talked about their experiences after they separated in front of their master.
While listening to her son, the nanny couldn't help wiping her tears, and then she started laughing, crying and laughing at the same time.
Zhao Qian said slowly, "We lingered in the villages along the waterway for five years. Then, my master died, and I was forced to leave. The days that followed were also a wandering experience. I finally made it to the capital with someone, but I fell ill again and was picked up. The person applied some medicine on me, and miraculously, I recovered. I thought I'd met a kind soul, but he turned me over to a foreman unloading cargo at the docks. Those foremen specialize in picking up the homeless and raising them. If they die, that's fine. Once they recover, it's like they're selling me to them for free. There's just endless work to do, and if they don't do it right, they'll either beat me or scold me. My son was beaten to death when Manager Yang saved him."
Although the political situation in Dayan is stable, the world is full of difficulties, and even the wise emperor cannot reach every corner.
Shen Shuyao sighed, and the maids around her had tears in their eyes.
Finally, Nanny Zheng asked, "Why did you call me Zhao Qian? And where is my Changfu?"
Zhao Qian smiled helplessly and said, "At that time, Manager Yang asked me my name. My son thought he was asking what I was doing in the capital, so he answered that I was looking for money. He probably didn't hear clearly, so he called me Zhao Qian. When you are away from home, your name is just a code name. It doesn't matter what you call me, so my son just let it go."
Madam Zheng knocked him, "Who said that? You are a member of the Jiang family. You are really sorry for your damn father."
Everyone thought about Jiang Changfu's reputation and how it was related to finding money, so they all started laughing again.
At the end of the conversation, Nanny finally calmed down and remembered her considerable private savings. "Then Changfu, you should work hard in the pen and ink shop. Mother has also saved some money for you to marry a wife."
Hearing about marrying a wife, Jiang Changfu smiled shyly and asked, "Can't you spend it yourself? What if you can't find me?"
Madam Zheng smiled mysteriously, "You are my son. Mother has a sense of it. She knows you are still alive."
When Madam Zheng poured all the silver and money onto the table, Jiang Changfu was shocked for a moment, "Why is there so much?"
The old indigo cloth bag was full of money, including some small silver ingots and quite a few copper coins.
Piled there, filling up the table, are all the love a mother has for her son.
Chen Shuyao couldn't help shedding tears when she saw this.
She had been worried that Madam Zheng wouldn't be able to keep it well, and wanted to exchange it for banknotes, but Madam Zheng said, "I like to keep it like this. Counting it in my spare time makes me feel that life has purpose."
Chen Shuyao later understood that each of these silver ingots represented the nanny's full maternal love for her son.
They looked at the young man with red eyes and thought that Madam Zheng had finally put her worries aside and was about to hand the silver over to her son, but she said, "Leave it with me first! We'll talk about it when you get married."
Jiang Changfu, whose eyes were originally red, was amused by his mother's behavior. Seeing that the women around him were laughing, his face also became hot.
After the tears have dried, all that is left is laughter.
Next, Nanny Zheng finally sent her son away, but Yan Yutang was still immersed in laughter.
Nanny Zheng, who used to look serious and worried, seemed to have suddenly become several years younger. She no longer nagged the little maids for being talkative and unruly, but instead taught them very patiently.
But when her eyes swept over the head maid Qiao Wei, she seemed to have a little regret.
Chen Shuyao looked at the nanny and gradually smelled a hint of unusual smell.
She thought that she was still worried about the maids' fate, but the nanny must have already trained her daughter-in-law herself.
She laughed and sighed in her heart, and when she looked up, she saw Xiao Mo had returned to Yan Yutang at some point, and was now looking at her with a smile on his face.
"Young Master!" Chen Shuyao ran over quickly, her eyes and eyebrows full of smiles, like a happy bird.
