Shen Yuechen listened to the nurse's words and couldn't help but smile.

What mother-child connection? It should be sympathy.

She and him, both poor people who were accidentally struck by the arrow of fate, without warning, without preparation, everything came so suddenly.

Brother Ming, who was in swaddling clothes, suddenly began to swing his little hands restlessly, as if he wanted to express something, but helplessly, at this time he could neither speak nor write, except for crying or crying.

Seeing that he began to cry restlessly, the nurse hurriedly said, "Young Master Ming, I'm afraid it's time to change the diaper, let the slave take him out first." ”

Shen Yuechen didn't dislike it, but said, "You can change it here, it's okay." ”

When the nurse heard this, she had no choice but to do as she was told, picked up Brother Ming and walked aside.

After just a moment's effort, Brother Ming immediately regained his quietness, and the nurse changed his diaper, wiped his body, and changed it to Shen Yuechen cleanly.

Shen Yuechen hugged Brother Ming, took advantage of the nurses going out to pour water, lowered her head and said softly: "I'm not used to it, I'm at the mercy of others like this, like this for a while, like that for a while, obviously my body is not well controlled." ”

Come to think of it, when she first came here, her mother died, and her father regarded her as a demon, if it weren't for Wu's mother, she would have died thousands of times.

Although fate is absurd, it is not ruthless to the end, and finally gave her a small corner to rely on.

Brother Ming blinked his eyes and nodded slightly, as if in agreement.

Shen Yuechen smiled slightly, and continued: "At the beginning, I also survived little by little like this, walking, talking, eating and sleeping, everything has to be learned from scratch, but fortunately, I know in my heart who I am and where I come from......" Speaking of this, she suddenly paused, and her tone was a little deeper: "None of this is a dream, so don't expect too much in your heart, the cruelty of reality often makes you forget who you are?" I am now your mother in name, but in my current situation, I cannot do much for you but to see you as often as possible. You have to be careful and don't be impatient. ”

When she said this, she just wanted to remind him that she might not be able to stay in the Zhu family for a long time, and she couldn't protect him thoroughly.

When Brother Ming heard this, he suddenly became anxious, and he was about to cry, but he arched his little head into her arms and arched again.

Shen Yuechen hugged his small body, and felt a little more pity in his heart, and hurriedly reassured: "Don't be afraid, you will get used to it after all." Everything is fine. ”

Yes, time can change everything, and he will always get used to it, just like she did.

The busy day passed in a hurry, and as the night became thicker, the Zhu Mansion slowly changed from noisy to quiet.

Shen Yuechen sat in front of the carved window lattice on the outside and on the inside, looking at the exquisite courtyard surrounded by flower branches by the light in the house, silently distracted.

She was waiting for Zhu Jintang to come back, and seeing that it was about to be time, he should be back soon.

Mingyue, the intimate maid, prepared hot water and towels early in the morning, waited outside, and waited for Zhu Jintang to return, so she immediately entered with hot water and waited for the eldest young master to wipe his hands and face.

As soon as the bangzi was struck, there was movement outside the courtyard.

Shen Yuechen got up and looked, only to see the door open in response, Zhu Jintang walked in, and two young men dressed in Tsing Yi followed him respectfully, holding several brocade boxes of different sizes in both hands.

Zhu Rong, the head of the Zhu Mansion, personally followed, hunched his back slightly, reminding the two little guys to pay attention to their feet.

Zhu Rong is the head of the Zhu family, and he is also the most powerful subordinate in the outer courtyard of the Zhu family. He is the only son of the old housekeeper of the Zhu family, he has followed Zhu Feng since he was a child, and has seen a lot of the world.

Zhu Jintang's face was flushed, his face was radiant, his eyes were bright, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Shen Yuechen got up to greet him, looked at Zhu Jintang with a smile, and said, "Uncle, you're back." ”

Zhu Jintang drank the wine, with a faint smell of wine on his body, very light and light, and mixed with a little fragrance of apricot blossoms.

The little guys brought in the brocade box one by one, and Zhu Rong said in a loud voice, be careful, be careful.

Zhu Rong was on an errand in the outer courtyard and rarely entered the inner house, and today was the first time he saw this new young grandmother. "Slave Zhu Rong, please say hello to the eldest young grandmother."

When Shen Yuechen heard this, she hurriedly said: "Manager Zhu, please get up quickly, don't be polite." ”

Zhu Jintang sat down next to the table, and Mingyue, who was dressed in a delicate body, brought hot water and towels, ready to wipe his face and hands for Zhu Jintang.

"Leave it to me!" Shen Yuechen stretched out his hand.

Mingyue was slightly stunned, watched Shen Yuechen pick up a towel and soak it in water, then take it out and wring it out, and said busily: "Grandma, don't touch your hands, just let the slave and maid come." ”

She has been serving Zhu Jintang for five or six years, and she thinks that she is the most powerful person around him, and she also feels that only she can serve the eldest young master well.

"No need, in the future, I want to serve the uncle to freshen up."

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Jintang couldn't help but look up at Shen Yuechen. I found that her eyes were as bright as water, and her smile was sweeter and more beautiful. His dark eyes, as he gazed at her, flashed a faint strange light.

"Yes." Mingyue hesitated for a moment, but lowered her head and agreed, silently retreating back, a trace of unwillingness flashed in her eyes.

Zhu Rong smiled silently, then bowed and said, "Young Master, wait a while, the slave will personally send you the account book." ”

Zhu Jintang nodded and withdrew his gaze.

Zhu Rong saluted and said goodbye, and the rest of his subordinates also followed behind him and silently retreated.

Chun Ming closed the door with great discernment, so that the two of them could talk for a while.

Shen Yuechen first wiped Zhu Jintang's hands with a warm towel, his palms were wide and large, and his fingertips were covered with a thin layer of calluses, because he had been playing with the abacus for a long time.

She waited for him to wash his face, change his clothes, and followed him all the way to the clean room to serve him to bathe and wipe his back and massage his shoulders.

In the neat clean room, there is only the sound of ticking water, so quiet that even the sound of two people breathing can be heard.

Shen Yuechen was the first time in his life to serve a man to bathe, and it was inevitable that her face would blush and her heart would beat wildly.

She doesn't like this humble life of looking up to people and looking at people's faces.

But now she has no choice, if she can't rely on Zhu Jintang, then her status in the Zhu family will become precarious, especially the domineering Qin Taoxi, who will definitely eat her alive.

Zhu Jintang naturally couldn't know what Shen Yuechen was thinking, he just remained silent, silently admiring the little face in front of him, from pink to red, and in the end, her face was almost dripping blood......

Zhu Jintang supported his chin with one hand, silently, and for a moment looked at her gradually reddening face, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and his expression seemed to be smiling.

She was shy and unfamiliar, but she unexpectedly pleased him and reminded him of someone...... A man who has been dead for many years......

When the two of them came out of the clean room, the account book had already been delivered, and it was placed on the table in a dignified manner, and there was also paper and ink and a gold abacus prepared next to it.

The Zhu family's ledger and gold abacus are valuable things that only the head of the family can have the right to view and use.

When Zhu Jintang saw the stack of account books, the lazy expression on his face immediately disappeared, and was replaced by rigor and seriousness.

Checking the ledger is a routine for Zhu Jintang every day, and no one is allowed to disturb him.

Shen Yuechen silently stepped aside, not daring to make a sound, just sat in front of the dressing mirror, unloaded the hair accessories on his head one by one, and then, put down his hair, slowly combed it with a wooden comb, and looked at Zhu Jintang a few steps behind him through the bronze mirror

Zhu Jintang looked at the account book intently, his mouth was full of words, his slender fingers were quickly playing the golden abacus, the abacus crackled and made a crisp sound, and his brows were sometimes furrowed, sometimes loosened.

The whole body of the gold abacus is made of real gold, except that the abacus beads are made of jadeite, which are pierced and polished by craftsmen.

The Zhu family has a huge industry, many stores, and a wide geographical distribution. The shops outside the customs report their accounts every six months, and the shops inside the customs report their accounts every three months, while the account books of the main store in Dezhou are sent back to Zhu's mansion by Zhu Rong personally after closing every day and handed over to Zhu Jintang for personal inspection.

Zhu Jintang is talented, can read at the age of three, can write at the age of five, at the age of seven he followed his father Zhu Feng in and out of the account room, learn to manage family affairs, at the age of twelve made the first transaction in his life, earned twenty taels of silver, and has been invincible since then.

Zhu Feng only has such a son as him, and he is inevitably uneasy, fortunately, Zhu Jintang has been sensible since he was a child, and he is a natural businessman, when he was twenty years old, he began to slowly take over the business, and he has been conscientious and has done a lot of beautiful big business.

As the saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and the sons of mice are born to make holes, and when Zhu Jintang was a child, he also chose the golden abacus at a glance.

Halfway through the candle, Zhu Jintang sighed softly, closed the account book, stood up, and moved his muscles. He carefully put away the account book and pressed the gold abacus firmly on the account book.

Shen Yuechen lay on the dresser tiredly, closed her eyes and recuperated, not realizing that Zhu Jintang had finished checking the accounts, and it wasn't until he called out to her that she turned over and sat up, cheering up from her sleep.

Seeing that Zhu Jintang was sitting on the edge of the bed looking at him, Shen Yuechen's face was slightly red, and he hurriedly got up and said, "Uncle, are you going to rest?" ”

Zhu Jintang nodded, and was about to take off his coat by himself, but saw that Shen Yuechen had already walked over to him with his head down, stretched out his hand and silently took off his coat for him, took it to the side shelf and put it away, and then turned around, squatted down, and wanted to take off his shoes and socks for him.

A vague smile flashed on Zhu Jintang's face again, and he suddenly had a little good impression of the delicate and weak little wife in front of him.

In the past three days of marriage, she has been trying to fulfill her duties as a wife, making food for him, changing his clothes, and bathing him...... Full of sincerity, but a little rusty. It can be seen that she wants to please him, but behind this flattery, there is a faint reluctance......

She was afraid of him, and she had to please him. Thinking like this, a certain light flashed in Zhu Jintang's eyes, and the good feeling in his heart disappeared in an instant.
