Chapter 373 Unknown Things
Jiang Lianzhu said, "Grandma has something to do, so she's leaving us for a while. She might come and live with us later. Everyone has their own things to do. For example, my brothers have grown up and need to go to school. Don't you even go to school?"
Nanbao's face was full of unhappiness.
Reluctantly, he said, "Okay, but I can't bear to leave grandma."
Jiang Lianzhu said, "Mom is reluctant to let you go, but there's nothing I can do. We have to respect everyone's wishes and thoughts. It's okay. When your grandma's work is done, she will live with us again."
Nanbao is still unhappy.
She was used to Jiang Chengshi coaxing her to sleep every night. Jiang Chengshi could sing many nursery rhymes and lullabies. Her voice was gentle and she was very patient. It was hard not to like her.
Dabao said, "Nanbao, you can study and read more, and learn to write as many characters as possible, so that you can write letters to grandma. Grandma will definitely like it."
This diverted Nanbao's attention and allowed her to find a new direction.
Her expression eased and she nodded, "Okay! I'll learn to write and write a letter to Grandma! Make her happy..."
At this moment, Jiang Cheng came over with an old woman with big spots on her face.
Nanbao got off Jiang Lianzhu and quickly rushed to Jiang Chengshi, "Grandma! My mother said you were going to do something and wouldn't be leaving with us. Is that true?"
Jiang Cheng's face was sad and ashamed. "Yes, I have something to do. I won't go with you this time. I'll visit you next time. You all should behave well, okay?"
Jiang Lianzhu had given them some precautions beforehand, so they didn't cry.
Nanbao nodded heavily, "Okay. Grandma, we will be good. You have to be good too."
Jiang Lianzhu noticed the old woman behind Jiang Chengshi and knew who this person was. Before she had the time to ask her, it was just right that she came to her door.
It seemed that they still had something to say to her.
So Jiang Lianzhu let the three children continue playing, and she took Jiang Chengshi and the old woman into the house to talk.
Entered the house where Jiang Lianzhu lived
Jiang Lianzhu asked, "Mom, who is this?"
Jiang Cheng introduced, "She is Madam Cheng. I met an old sister at the post station who I got along very well with... Madam Cheng, this is my daughter Jiang Lianzhu."
Matron Cheng bowed deeply to Jiang Lianzhu and said, "Greetings, Doctor Jiang."
Jiang Lianzhu supported her and said, "I dare not accept your courtesy, Madam. Please stand up."
She had no official position and was a junior, so how could she accept the old man's gift?
She noticed that when Madam Cheng saluted, every move was very proper, as if she was well-trained. Even the young ladies from wealthy families were not as proper in saluting as she was.
Nanny Cheng said, "Doctor Jiang, let me introduce myself. I am an old man from Chubei Prefecture. My family died early, leaving me alone. I am unmarried and have no children. My background is clean and I have no ties. I am good at cooking, disciplining and managing servants in wealthy families, and learning some aristocratic etiquette for the young masters and young ladies of the leader's family. I am willing to serve Doctor Jiang and his family."
Jiang Lianzhu didn't understand what this meant.
Jiang Chengshi said hurriedly, "Zhu'er, this is what I asked for. My old sister is a good cook. We have all eaten the dishes she cooked and praised them for being delicious! I thought that after I left you, you would be busy and would not have the time to cook for our daughters every day. So, I thought of this old sister's name. She has no children and no worries anyway, so she can travel around the world and take care of our daughters in my place. She can help you cook and look after the children. What do you think?"
The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't let go and couldn't bear to leave Jiang Lianzhu and the others.
Having such a wonderful daughter, others must be envious to the point of breaking their heads. She had no choice. She couldn't let go of her son, and she couldn't let go of her daughter either. So, she had an idea and thought of her new old sister.
Anyway, she was getting paid for her work. What was the difference between being a cook in the post station and being a cook next to Jiang Lianzhu?
Jiang Lianzhu is kind-hearted and will definitely not reduce her wages.
In the past, Erya, a little apprentice who knew nothing, was paid such a high salary. As long as Nanny Cheng treats the Jiang family well, Jiang Lianzhu will not treat her unfairly.
Anyway, she just felt that she and this old sister got along well.
Another selfish thought was that if these sisters followed Jiang Lianzhu and the others, there would be a chance for them to get in touch in the future. If they were separated like this, they would be so far apart that they might never be found again.
Jiang Lianzhu said calmly, "Mother, aren't you forcing me? How can I ask someone to become a servant in our house just by meeting them? Aren't you afraid that your elder sister will feel bad?"
That being said, in reality, it was Jiang Cheng who was taking things for granted.
A stranger, I've only known him for two days.
Just let him be a servant.
What's the timing now? What if he's a spy from Baihua Tower?
Isn't that like inviting a wolf into the house?
Jiang Chengshi didn't think that much and had good intentions. Jiang Lianzhu could only say polite words and remind Madam Cheng to be more tactful.
Unexpectedly, Nanny Cheng said sincerely, "Doctor Jiang, I am willing to do this too. I was born a maid in a wealthy family and have been a maid, nanny, and cook all my life. Now that I am old, it is difficult to find a master, so I have been reduced to being a temporary cook at the post station. Your mother took pity on me and wanted to find me a long-term job with a meal ticket. I don't want you to pay me much, just give me something to eat. Please accept me, I will work hard."
Jiang Chengshi also followed suit, "Zhu'er, Madam Cheng is really good at her job. She can cook, take care of children, teach etiquette, and is knowledgeable. She's much better than me. You're in urgent need of help right now..."
Jiang Lianzhu would not offend Jiang Chengshi, so as not to make her feel uncomfortable.
But this nanny is indeed a bit strange. If she is really as good as she is said to be, if she can cook, take care of children, is knowledgeable, can teach rules and etiquette, and manage servants, and is so powerful, why doesn't she have a master?
She is so strong, why did her previous master let her leave?
Either he's bragging, or there's something unknown about him.
"How about this, mother, you go out first, I will talk to this Cheng Mama alone."
Jiang Cheng groaned. She was a little slow to react. Was there anything she needed to avoid saying? She looked at Madam Cheng again, and she said, "Okay, sister, you go out first. I'll talk to Doctor Jiang alone. It's okay."
"Oh well."
Jiang Cheng went out.
In the room, only Jiang Lianzhu and Cheng Ma were left...
Jiang Lianzhu looked at Nanny Cheng with a solemn and thoughtful expression.
At the same time, Nanny Cheng was also observing Jiang Lianzhu, trying to gauge her ability.
