After a hearty meal at the restaurant, Huo Xi took Huo Nian and Bao Kang and followed the wet nurse back to the courtyard where they lived.
Huo Erhuai and others returned to the ship.
The wet nurse held Huo Nian's hand and glanced at him from time to time with a smile on her face. Bao Kang followed Huo Nian, eating well and visibly happy. Seeing Huo Nian take two steps and jump one step, he also followed suit, attracting everyone.
Extremely happy.
Wu Chengye followed the nanny on the other side, staying close to her, glancing at Huo Nian from time to time.
Huo Xi and Ma Ma followed behind.
They were following closely, but Mother Ma pulled her up. Huo Xi hurriedly looked at her, and saw that she looked like she had something to say, so she slowed down and the two of them fell behind.
"Mammy?"
Mother Ma glanced in front of her and whispered: "Chengye has been looking at you and Nian'er during the dinner, probably thinking about your identity. This child is good, but he misses his father and wants to take his mother with him."
I went to find my father and wanted to be together as a family."
Mother Ma sighed: "Your wet nurse can't speak. She is like this now. Even if that person recognizes her as a big wife, she can't speak. Why would she go to Chengye's father? Was she bullied by his second wife?
"
Huo Xi nodded repeatedly: "Don't go looking for him! The wet nurse died and married another man. He also had a son with that man and he lived in his house. Why are you looking for him? Go to the wet nurse.
What good can I do? From now on, I can just live with the nanny. When the nanny has his own family, he will just live his own life. I will provide for the nanny in the future."
Mother Ma glanced at her with relief: "That's what I advised her too. Although your nanny is sad, she knows for sure that she won't go to Chengye's father. I will watch over Chengye for you.
, we will advise him. No one will stop him from seeing his father, but just don’t bring his father, and don’t talk about the people and things around your nanny. Just live your own life."
"Yes, that's exactly what it should be." Huo Xi agreed.
"It's just that your uncle may not be too worried about success."
Huo Xi was silent: "Uncle feels sorry for me. When I was a child, I often dreamed and cried when I woke up in the middle of the night. Our family had a small boat at that time and everyone slept close to each other. My parents and uncle must have heard it at night, even if I covered myself
They can still hear it under the quilt."
"Your adoptive father and mother's family are all good people."
"Well, they are all kind-hearted people just like you. Without you, Nian'er, Nian'er, and the nanny might not be alive anymore."
Mother Ma turned her head and looked at her, raising the corner of her mouth. This child is a good one, a child who remembers gratitude.
After returning to the yard where the wet nurse lived, after talking for a while, Huo Xi slept well all night in the room prepared by the wet nurse.
She had been on the ship for the past few days and had not slept well. The cargo on both ships was still unseen. Huo Erhuai and Yang Fu had to get up several times a night. She was also thinking about it, and she could not sleep well all the way.
That day, the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce invited large and small businesses to a meeting. She was awakened by Shaodongjia and Huo Zhong and found out that it turned out that Guangfeng Shui had previously been in the military cloth business of the guards. She thought that there was someone behind Guangfeng Shui.
Shopkeeper Shen never got a seat at the club, but last time he gave Guangfeng Shui a seat.
Huo Xi sighed with emotion for several days.
In an environment where people are divided into high and low people, either you have to have a powerful position, connections and resources, or you have to be rich, otherwise no one will look down on you.
There were dozens of people sitting in the hall of the guild hall that day, and there were also several people standing outside the hall who were not seated.
Money or no money, identity or identity, the distinction is clear.
With her current status, she can only think of making more money.
This time, I sold the sugar for thirty taels per shi, or 80 shi. After deducting the cost of saltpeter, gifts, and the loss of sucrose, I could make at least two thousand taels.
I didn't get the silver, so I exchanged it for a boatload of pepper, spices, jewelry, foreign cloth and other items, and then transported it to the capital and sold it. If it works well, I can at least double the profit. I made a trip to Songjiang and earned 4,000 taels, which is worth it.
.
Huo Xi had a good night's sleep and slept soundly.
Early the next morning, I stretched out on the bed with my eyes closed, and saw a gentle touch on my face, and slowly opened my eyes.
"Nanny?" Sitting on the edge of her bed early in the morning?
The wet nurse showed a big smile and touched her face and hair with great tenderness.
"Nanny..." Huo Xi reached out and hugged her, leaned against her, and closed her eyes again.
The nanny couldn't stop smiling on her face, and used her hands to smooth her frizzy hair while sleeping. Huo Xi enjoyed this kind of love, just like when she was a child, she saw the nanny when she first woke up.
But when she was a child, her nanny would sit on the edge of the bed and nag her, but now her nanny was speechless. Huo Xi couldn't help but feel sad.
"Nanny, why don't you come back to the capital with me and I'll see if I can get you a powerful doctor to see if he can cure your mute disease." The wet nurse was mute because of the medicine the day after tomorrow, not
It's natural, and I don't know if there is any medicine that can cure it.
The wet nurse was excited and made a sound.
Huo Xi opened his eyes and looked at her, and saw that she was waving her hands and shaking her head, pointing at her throat, and she looked a little disappointed.
Huo Xi felt a pain in her heart: "There are many great doctors in the world. Let's look for that good doctor in the future and take a look. Maybe he can be cured?"
The wet nurse made another gesture.
"Okay, if you don't come back, you won't come back. When Nian'er gets older, I will take you back to the capital. You live with us, and we will take care of you in your old age. Will you live with us?"
The wet nurse smiled and nodded, with tears in her eyes.
She pointed outside and made ouch and ooh gestures. Huo Xi didn't quite understand. Seeing her anxious face, her hands were moving quickly, trying to express what she wanted to say. Seeing that Huo Xi couldn't understand, she became more and more anxious.
Huo Xi endured the pain and sat up: "It's okay. Please speak slowly."
The nanny gestured for a while, "You want to say nanny brother?"
Seeing the wet nurse nodding, Huo Xi thought of what Mother Ma told her last night and said, "Did Mother Ma tell you something?"
Seeing her nodding again, he said: "It's okay. Brother Nanny doesn't understand why you are so nice to me. He may be guessing my identity. When you were a child, you often brought him to play with me. We played so well, and he was so happy
Remember me."
"Don't tell him my identity. Just tell him that I am a child that I nursed in the past. He lives with the nanny outside and I don't know how many children you have nursed."
"Don't go looking for me, daddy. I will provide for you in the future. Don't stop me if you want to see him. He is his father after all. I just told him not to tell daddy about you or the people around you."
Just do it.”
The wet nurse nodded and made some gestures.
"Don't worry, I believe in nanny, and I also believe in nanny. Cousin Li said that nanny will learn from him. If you let him study hard, he will learn the skills, and he will be able to make a living in the future."
The wet nurse nodded, came forward and hugged him.
When they got out of the house, they realized that she and the nanny were the only ones left in the courtyard. The nanny took Nian'er and Bao Kang to go shopping, while Grandma Ma went to weave.
The wet nurse served her breakfast. After finishing the meal, Huo Xi asked her: "Is the yard rented by Weaver far away? Will it be hard? Can the wet nurse take me to see it?"
