When Grandma Zhang arrived, Shen Xingwan was taking the little girl from the village to dry chrysanthemums in the yard, and the whole yard was filled with fresh fragrance.
Fu Jingchao was sleeping under the cherry blossom tree in the corner with his face covered with a book, and the fat cat was rolling on the ground.
"Why are you here in person?" Shen Xingwan put down the chrysanthemum in her hand.
Nanny Zhang saluted Shen Xingwan and said, "I have good news for you, Miss."
Shen Xingwan's mind moved and he smiled sweetly.
"Mommy, come and sit."
Shen Xingwan walked over and kicked Fu Jingchao, "Wake up, go in and move out the table and stools." Then he told the little girl to boil water.
Fu Jingchao said dissatisfied, "How can you bully a patient?"
Aunt Zhang came forward and saluted Fu Jingchao respectfully, "Hello, young master."
Fu Jingchao coughed and said, "Hello, Mom." He got up obediently and moved the table.
Finally, the three of them set up a table under the cherry blossom tree. The three of them sat around the table. There were several stacks of snacks and three bowls of scented tea on the table.
"The old lady agreed to what the young lady and the old lady said that night." Nanny Zhang went straight to the point.
Shen Xingwan's heart finally settled down. No matter what happened in the future, at least now she had a reason to leave the family in an honest way and could leave the second room of the Shen family in a glorious manner.
"I won't let the old lady down." Shen Xingwan said with a faint smile.
It was not Nanny Zhang's turn to answer this. She was secretly optimistic about Shen Xingwan, so it was expected that the old lady would give her a chance.
Grandma Zhang took a sip of tea and changed the topic, "But the old lady has a condition?"
Grandma Zhang looked at Fu Jingchao who was yawning with his chin on his hand.
Shen Xingwan knew it instantly, "Tell me."
"The old lady hopes that the lady will bring the young master into the Shen Mansion." Aunt Zhang said solemnly, "and she must bring him into the Shen Mansion without letting anyone suspect him."
Shen Xingwan is a smart person, and Granny Zhang believes that she can understand the meaning of her words.
Sure enough, Shen Xingwan smiled and said, "Mommy, help me tell the old lady and let her rest assured that I will definitely handle this matter."
She didn't say exactly how to do it, and of course Grandma Zhang was sensible enough not to ask.
"In the girl's house, are you going to talk to them yourself first, or are you going to send someone from the old lady's side?" Grandma Zhang asked.
As expected, it was very comfortable to deal with such a clear and respectful partner. So far, Shen Xingwan had a very good impression of Mrs. Shen.
"Then please ask the old lady to send someone personally."
Shen Xingwan's character has always been decisive. Now that she has decided to cut ties with her family, she does not want to get involved with them anymore. If she goes back and talks about it on her own, it will be another turmoil.
"Old slave, I understand." Nanny Zhang nodded. The old lady would ask for her opinion like this, so she could guess Shen Xingwan's current situation.
"The girl is well prepared. The adoption date has been determined and I will notify you further."
Nanny Zhang stood up to say goodbye, and Shen Xingwan personally escorted her to the door.
"Tell me how to thank me?" Fu Jingchao stood under the cherry tree, a beautiful person more beautiful than flowers.
Shen Xingwan walked over and poked his arm, "You said it so nicely, but you just took advantage of me."
Fu Jingchao lowered his head and approached her ear, "Aren't you curious about my true identity?"
Shen Xingwan was so smart, Fu Jingchao didn't believe that she didn't see anything. She just didn't ask a question for so many days.
Shen Xingwan sneered, "Aren't I afraid that you will throw me into the river to feed the fish again? How can I be curious?"
"You really hold a grudge. You still remember what happened five years ago." Fu Jingchao was speechless, "How do you plan to bring me in?"
Shen Xingwan smiled mysteriously, "Anyway, you just need to cooperate."
Fu Jingchao suddenly had a bad premonition.
That afternoon, a carriage came to Zhuangzi. It was said that it was coming to pick up the friend of the lady who was visiting Zhuangzi.
Wearing a veil, the slender girl got into the carriage in full view of everyone. The carriage quickly drove towards the town, and Shen Xingwan reluctantly waved goodbye at the door.
Two days later, Uncle Zhang, who was always alone, returned to the village with a yellow and thin girl wearing coarse linen clothes and her hair braided in the simplest way.
Along the way, it attracted the attention of villagers and tenants on the farm.
"Uncle Zhang, who is this?"
"Uncle Zhang, where are you going to bring a girl here?"
Uncle Zhang said with a sad face, "Hey, this is the daughter of my sister who married to the mountains. She is the only one left in the family, so she came to join me."
"It's so pitiful."
Everyone sighed, and soon the whole Zhuangzi knew that Uncle Zhang's niece had died and came to join him.
That afternoon, Uncle Zhang took his niece and knelt at the lady's door, begging the lady to give his niece a bite of food.
The kind-hearted Miss Shen sympathized with the little girl's plight and she still lacked a rough maid, so she took her in.
Shen Xingwan, who was very compassionate, was sitting in the courtyard. The door of the courtyard was open, and several women from the village were cooking and washing in the courtyard.
Uncle Zhang was very dedicated and kowtowed to Shen Xingwan with red eyes, "Thank you, Miss, for taking me in."
Shen Xingwan raised his eyebrows, looked at Fu, who had become a yellow and ugly wild girl from the mountains, and said to him with his eyes, "Why don't you follow suit?"
The cunning little girl is indeed full of tricks. Wasn't it the fact that he used her as a maid on the ship five years ago...retribution comes too quickly...
"Thank you, Miss, for taking me in." Fu Jingchao said in a rough voice, but he refused to knock and looked like he didn't understand the rules.
Shen Xingwan was just having a good time, so he didn't want to go too far and ask pretentiously, "What's your name?"
Fu Jingchao said reluctantly, "My name is Pomegranate."
Uncle Zhang immediately answered the question in a polite manner, "Miss, please rename me."
I heard that all the maids of wealthy families are like this, and the master personally gives them names.
Fu Jingchao's eyelids twitched at the side, should he act so realistically...
Shen Zhou held back his smile and thought for a while, "From today on, your name will be Cuihua."
Fu Jingchao froze in place, unable to convince himself to accept this name.
"Why don't you like it?"
Fu Jingchao lowered his head and said, "No, the little sister I used to play in the mountains was named Cuihua. It would be inappropriate to have the same name as her."
Good guy, he's pretty good at editing.
"Well, in that case, let's call him Platycodon." Shen Xingwan didn't really want to call him Cuihua, she just wanted to tease him.
"Get up, stop kneeling, and learn the rules from your sister Banxia from now on." Shen Xingwan said.
From today on, there will be a maid beside her. She comes from the mountains. She has been hunting and running with her parents since she was a child, so she has a pair of feet that are a little bigger than the average girl. Everything is reasonable.
Anyway, the old lady only said to bring people in, but she didn’t say what identity she would use to bring them in.
"The eldest lady is really a kind-hearted person."
"That girl is lucky. She looks stupid and ugly, but she was chosen by the lady."
Shen Xingwan has received a lot of praise for this, and she is indeed a little fairy with a beautiful heart and a kind heart.
