Chapter 370: The Grange (1)

The scorching summer is coming to an end, but the cicadas chirp at night still rings tirelessly all night.

Shen Yuechen didn't sleep very well, but Zhu Jintang beside him slept very deeply, snoring softly all the time.

In the early morning, Shen Yuechen stood in front of the window, looking outside

The red, green, and green flowers are very beautiful in the morning light.

She looked at it for a long time before turning around and returning to the bedside and gently waking up Zhu Jintang.

In order to get to the Grange in the suburbs before dinner, they had to leave early.

Zhu Jintang snorted, squinted his eyes slightly, looked at Shen Yuechen, cleared his throat and said, "What time is it?" ”

"It's almost time."

When Zhu Jintang heard this, he hurriedly sat up, rubbed the old wound on his shoulder, and said, "It's all this time." ”

Shen Yuechen took the initiative to stretch out his hands and gently rubbed his shoulders for him, "Does Uncle's old injury still hurt?" ”

Zhu Jintang said honestly: "The pain is not painful, but it will be a little stiff, and you have to move, loosen and loosen your muscles and bones." ”

When Shen Yuechen heard this, the force in his hand lightened a little.

Every time she saw the long scar on his shoulder, it hurt like her heart.

Come to think of it, if it was a few inches deeper, then his life would have been saved a long time ago.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuechen's mind suddenly remembered one thing, this matter, she had always kept in mind, but she rarely asked, because she knew that Zhu Jintang must know it in her heart.

"Uncle, it's been a few months, have you found the murderer who framed you in the first place?" Shen Yuechen asked cautiously.

Zhu Jintang's eyes flashed slightly, and he said lightly: "Cangzhou is still looking for it, but it doesn't matter if we can't find it, we all know in our hearts who did it." ”

Although it has been slow to find definite evidence that Zhu Jintang was framed by the Jia family, apart from the Jia family, Zhu Jintang really can't think of anyone else who would dare to do such a thing.

Zhu Jintang has always kept this account firmly in his heart, but now is not the time, and it is not the time to take revenge on the Jia family.

Shen Yuechen saw that his face changed slightly, and hurriedly said, "Please get up and freshen up, breakfast, it's ready." ”

Zhu Jintang nodded, got up to freshen up and change clothes.

Shen Yuechen took advantage of her free time and asked the maids to come over and set up the meal.

The children's breakfast is brought to the house, so that they can sleep a little longer and avoid tossing.

By the time dawn, Shen Yuechen's side had already packed up.

Outside the door, Zhu Liujin and a group of people were waiting in the courtyard. There are men and women, old and young, all of whom are subordinates who want to follow Zhu Jintang and Shen Yuechen to the Grange.

Wu Ma personally named and checked, and after careful counting, there were five maids and maids, plus two cooks and two coachmen, a total of fourteen people.

Mother Wu naturally wants to go to the Grange together, but Chunming wants to stay temporarily and take care of the house. It's not that I don't want to take her with me, but yesterday she suddenly fell ill and vomited and diarrhea, so it was really inconvenient to go out.

After everything was prepared, Zhu Jintang took Shen Yuechen to the upper room and asked the elders to say goodbye.

Seeing the excited expressions on the children's faces, the old lady said in a reluctant tone: "How many of you are so happy? You know, you have to stay for a few days this time, and your hearts are so willing to leave home. ”

The children had a rare opportunity to go out and play, and they were naturally very happy.

However, Zhu Ying and Brother Ming would also look at each other, and when they saw Shen Yuechen blinking, they hurriedly ran to the elders and said coquettishly: "I am most reluctant to the two ancestors, and the ancestors will also go with Brother Ming." ”

When Zhu Ying saw her younger brother say this, she looked at Li Shi and said, "Ying'er is reluctant to let her grandparents go, I really want to bring everyone in the family over......"

The old man smiled when he heard this: "Hey, these two little dolls are really sweet." ”

The old lady hugged Brother Ming, and was reluctant to get up again: "Dishonest little thing, since you are not reluctant, you can stay, how good it is to accompany us." ”

Brother Ming suddenly pursed his lips when he heard this: "Don't, don't." ”

The old lady was amused by him, and sighed helplessly: "Okay, okay, you guys go play." Just don't be as naughty as you are at home, and when the time comes, you will fall into it and hurt yourself. When you come back, I'll check them one by one, and if anyone hurts themselves,"

Li Shi stretched out his hand to straighten Zhu Ying's braids, and said, "In the morning, your mother combed your braids again." ”

Zhu Ying nodded "um", turned around in front of her, and said, "This dress was also chosen by my mother." Does grandmother think it's good-looking? ”

"Beautiful." Li Shi smiled.

The material of the clothes is still new, and it is estimated that they are new clothes that have just been made and have only been washed once.

Originally, I thought that because of Cao's affairs, Shen Yuechen would be taboo against Zhu Ying, but I didn't expect that she would treat that child the same as before, unchanged at all.

That's the way it works.

As an elder, you have to look like an elder, and Shen Yuechen has always done a good job in this regard.

Li Shi then asked, "Have you packed all your luggage?" ”

"It's all set."

"How many people are you going to take with you this time?"

"Fifteen when you count them all."

Li Shi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Just a few people, can you serve them thoroughly?" ”

Shen Yuechen nodded and said, "It's enough, they are all old people who are capable of doing things." ”

Zhu Jintang also followed: "There are still a lot of people waiting in the Zhuangzi, so you don't need to bring too much." ”

Li Shi is still a little worried, and he has to ask everything to be sure.

In order not to delay their trip, the old lady let them go on the road after a few words of advice.

The carriage and horse walked slowly, just out of the alley.

Brother Ming couldn't wait to lift the curtain, looked out, and stretched out the whole little head.

Before he could take a closer look, he was pulled back by Shen Yuechen.

"There are a lot of cars outside, and you honestly sit in the car and watch."

When Brother Ming heard this, he had no choice but to cross his calves, face the window, and look at the excitement outside without landing for a moment.

He has been bored by the Zhu family for too long, so stuffy that he feels that he is going to be stupid.

Nowadays, it is not easy to have the opportunity to go out and walk.

He hated to turn himself into that light and nimble little bird, desperate to break free, and walk around happily.

Shen Yuechen didn't know what was going on in his mind, so he didn't stop him, and only let him slowly appreciate the antique and bustling streets full of market atmosphere.

Zhu Jintang doesn't like to make cars, and usually only likes to ride horses when he goes out.

He walked majestically on the street, attracting a lot of lively eyes.

Some people had sharp eyes and recognized him as Zhu Jintang, the eldest young master of the Zhu family.

"Ouch, look, isn't that the eldest young master of the Zhu family, Zhu Jintang? Look at his high spirits, it's really amazing. ”

The fact that Zhu Jintang was framed is not a small news in Texas City.

As outsiders, they naturally don't know the inside story of the twists and turns, and now, just looking at Zhu Jintang's high-spirited appearance now, they can't help but sigh with emotion.

As the saying goes, if you don't die in a great disaster, you will have a blessing. The Zhu family escaped that catastrophe, and what awaits him in the future is estimated to be only a good life.

Brother Ming inadvertently also noticed those eyes mixed with envy and curiosity.

Occasionally, a few ragged beggar-looking children would pass by the car, running after the wheels, grinning at Brother Ming'er and begging: "Little young master be merciful, reward some money." ”

Their faces were black, their hands were black, and they looked like they had rolled out of the coal.

When Brother Ming heard this, he unconsciously touched his body behind him, helplessly, he was just a child and had no money on him.

Shen Yuechen had already noticed this, and only commanded Cui Xin: "Throw some copper coins outside." ”

Cui Xin nodded yes.

When Brother Ming heard this, he hurriedly turned his head, stared at the money bag that was rattling in Cuixin's hand, stretched out his little hand and said, "Give me some money too." ”

Cui Xin shook her head with a smile, "The copper coin is too dirty, it's better not to touch it." After saying that, she grabbed a handful of copper coins at random and threw them outside.

The moment the copper coin landed, the children also stopped chasing, and then threw themselves on the ground, picking up and grabbing one by one.

The road was tossed by them and the dust flew all over the sky, and when Brother Ming saw this, he had to withdraw his gaze and sit upright.

Shen Yuechen glanced down at him, and found that he was lowering his head thoughtfully, so he leaned into his ear and said in an inaudible voice: "Isn't it all of a sudden, I feel very lucky." ”

Brother Ming looked at her in slight surprise, she didn't expect that she would guess what was on her mind.

Shen Yuechen smiled slightly, and put on a knowing look at him.

Of course she knew, because she had thought so too.

Sometimes, that's what the human heart is. You have to see those who are less fortunate than you to know how lucky you are.

Shen Yuechen touched his head, and at this time, Zhu Jintang came to the car again and said, "Brother Ming, when you get out of the city gate later, do you want to ride a horse with your father?" ”

When Brother Ming heard this, he suddenly came to his senses again, and hurriedly clapped his hands at him and said, "Okay, okay, I want to ride a horse." ”

Cui Xin took Brother Ming down from the carriage and handed it to Zhu Jintang on the horse.

Brother Ming'er was a small person, sitting firmly in Zhu Jintang's arms, without the slightest expression of fear on his face.

Zhu Liujin watched from the sidelines, and hurriedly gave a thumbs up and said, "Uncle, our young master Ming is really knowledgeable, although it is the first time to ride a horse, he is not afraid at all." ”

Zhu Jintang firmly hugged Brother Ming'er's body with only one arm, lowered his head and asked with a smile: "Little guy, are you really not afraid?" ”

Brother Ming raised his two little hands, put on a horseback riding momentum, and said excitedly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, daddy ride quickly, the faster the better." ”

Shen Yuechen sat in the car, heard his hearty laughter, hurriedly lifted the curtain to look over, and advised: "Uncle, don't ride too fast, lest the road be too bumpy." ”

When Zhu Jintang heard this, he tightened the reins a little, and pretended to be helpless: "It seems that we can only ride slowly, so as not to nag your mother in the back." ”
