Because of the diaphragm in his heart, Shen Yuechen couldn't eat anything for lunch, so he only took a pill according to his habit, and freshened up under Cuixin's service, and then, as usual, went directly to the old lady's upper room.

Although the old lady exempted her from the rules of morning and evening, but at this time, Shen Yuechen still couldn't relax, thinking that she obediently went over to serve the old lady, and by the way, she was saying something pleasing to her, which was better than stealing in her own house to raise the corpse.

In this Zhu family, only the old lady is the best and most partial to herself, and only by often showing her well-behaved and obedient side in front of the old lady can she be more partial to herself in the future!

Sure enough, Shen Yuechen came at the right time. Brother Ming had just taken a nap and was in good spirits, so he happened to be personally picked up by Li Shi to show the old lady.

Shen Yuechen saluted the old lady when she entered the door, and then Li Shi and Yang's mother.

"What are you doing on such a hot day? Moreover, there are many things to do in your yard, so taking a nap is the only way to go. ”

After Shen Yuechen finished saluting and sat down, the old lady said lightly.

Shen Yuechen said respectfully: "In the morning, Aunt Sun was a little unwell, and the concubine invited the doctor to come and take a look, but the result was fine. The concubine knew that the old lady was the most sympathetic to Aunt Sun, so she wanted to come over in person to say goodbye, and by the way, let me know, so that you can rest easy.

When the old lady heard this, she smiled faintly, took over the conversation and said, "Although I love her, I love you more in my heart." You have to take it easy, don't tire yourself out for others. ”

About the Sun family, Xia's mother returned to the Li family early, and the Li family also told the old lady.

A pregnant woman will inevitably become a little suspicious, and occasionally make a little fuss, but it doesn't matter.

The old lady likes Shen Yuechen's sensibility and obedience very much, and hopes that she can get into Sun's good luck and conceive a son and a half daughter as soon as possible. The children born in the concubine are just luck for the Zhu family, and the children born in the concubine are the blessings that God really gives.

After the old lady said a few words to Shen Yuechen, she kept looking at her great-eldest grandson with a smile, no matter how she liked it, her eyes could drip with tenderness.

Brother Ming has grown very fast in the past two months, and his body is getting heavier and heavier day by day, Li Shi hugged him slightly, his wrist was sore, and he was about to hand him over to the nurse, but he saw him stretch out his little hand and point in the direction of Shen Yuechen, and his mouth made a "whine" sound

Seeing this, the old lady glanced at Shen Yuechen deeply, and said with a smile: "Brother Ming is looking for you, but you can't come and hug you." ”

When Shen Yuechen heard this, her eyes were happy, and she got up with a smile and took Brother Ming. As soon as he reached her arms, he lay on top of her, and a few muffled syllables came out of his mouth.

Seeing this, Li Shi's heart suddenly felt a little sour.

Thinking about it, he obviously takes care of him every day, but this child always likes to stick to Shen Yuechen, the stepmother.

Now, Brother Ming is five months old and weighs more than ten pounds, and it is really not easy for Shen Yuechen to pick it up. And, according to the nurse, he has learned to roll over, and occasionally he can sit on the cushion for a while.

Seeing him grow up day by day, Shen Yuechen's heart also became happy, once he learned to speak, the two of them could talk, and many things would become easier to do, for example, to bring him to his side and raise him personally...... Now, Brother Ming is the only grandson of the long house, and the Li family naturally refuses to easily hand him over to him to raise, so Shen Yuechen has not asked for this matter for a long time, so as not to lose his sense of proportion and make the Li family unhappy.

While talking, the old lady accidentally mentioned an old friend surnamed Chen, saying that his third son had won a jinshi in the imperial examination this year, so the family had to prepare congratulatory gifts and find time to go over to say goodbye.

The meaning of the old lady's words was obvious, she wanted to take Shen Yuechen out to socialize and see the world.

Li Shi listened and listened, and suddenly remembered: "It turned out to be the old man Chen, the old man who pulled the thread for the nylon media before." ”

The old lady smiled faintly: "It's the old pedant." Speaking of which, he is really blessed, he is over sixty years old, his body is tough, his three sons are all promising, and the third child was admitted to the Jinshi again, which is really glorifying his ancestors. ”

When Li Shi heard this, he didn't speak quietly, but gently brushed off the tea leaves in the cup.

I have to say that this old man Chen has guaranteed Zhu Jinlun a good family business.

Zhu Jinlun is forty-four in his twenties this year, and it is said that he should have married a wife and had children, but he has been traveling outside all the year round, and he has been deliberately delaying his family affairs again and again, and the old lady is not willing to let him get married too early for the sake of the long house.

However, this year, Zhu Jinlun's marriage has finally been settled, and his future bride is also a young lady from an official eunuch family, whose surname is Yalinn, who is fifteen years old this year, the same age as Shen Yuechen, and the month is only two months apart.

He Yalin's father, He Dongping, is the governor of Qingzhou, an official from Wupin, and only has a son and a daughter under his knees. He Yalin followed her father to Qingzhou since she was a child, and during the Spring Festival last year, she accompanied her mother back to save her relatives, and happened to be favored by Mr. Chen, and then personally held the red line for her and Zhu Jinlun.

In ancient times, marriage events paid attention to the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers, Zhu Jinlun and He Yalin had never met, but they had already decided on their relationship with the consent of their parents.

Shen Yuechen listened to these things, and smiled lightly without a trace, thinking that she and Zhu Jintang were not the same, from never knowing each other to sharing the same bed, it only took one night.

In a short time, the Zhu family is about to have another happy event, but this joy is greatly discounted in the hearts of the people in the long house. Once Zhu Jinlun marries a wife and has children, the pressure on the heirs of the long house will naturally become heavier.

At night, Chun Ming and Cui Xin stayed to keep vigil, carefully and carefully making the bed. Shen Yuechen sat quietly by the window, at this moment, in a quiet space, for some reason it suddenly made her feel a little lonely...... I don't know if it's because there have been too many things that have happened recently, or because Zhu Jintang's return date is close at hand.

Zhu Jintang has been gone for more than a month, and she has never thought of him so suddenly. Maybe it's because there are too many things to worry about, maybe it's because she's been deliberately restrained, no matter what, she still hasn't controlled her thoughts.

He's coming back, coming back in style, and then, gladly welcoming a piece of good news that belongs to him.

Chun Ming didn't notice her thoughts, and filled the brass basin with hot water with her hands and feet, and took a hand towel with a faint fragrance of flowers to dip it in, ready to serve her to freshen up and go to bed.

Shen Yuechen changed into pajamas, her body was slightly cool, and at this time, Cui Xin came over with a small cup of celadon, "Miss, this is the sweet soup sent by Mother Wu." ”

Shen Yuechen hadn't eaten anything all day, and although her stomach was very hungry, she couldn't help but think back to the disgusting things she saw in Qin's room, so she couldn't eat.

Mother Wu heard what the Qin family had done, and guessed that she would not be allowed to get oily again, so she deliberately boiled a pot of sweet soup. The soup is filled with wolfberry longan, lotus seed white fungus, as well as a handful of red dates and rock sugar, which has a rich aroma and sweet spleen.

Shen Yuechen's clear eyes sparkled, holding the soup cup, very grateful to Mother Wu for this kindness. She took two slow sips when she heard a soft knock on the door outside.

Cui Xin was slightly stunned, then walked over and opened the door, only to see Aunt Qin's personal maid Lan Hua standing at the door with teary eyes, and whispered: "The slave maid wants to see the eldest young grandmother." ”

Cui Xin frowned slightly: "What time is this?" How dare you bother? Our young lady has already fallen asleep. She thought that Aunt Qin had sent her to find trouble, so she just wanted to send her away quickly.

Who knows, the orchid cried more and more, and begged in a low voice: "The slave maid has something to say to the grandmother......

Shen Yuechen vaguely heard her crying, so she said loudly: "Cui Xin, let her in." ”

Cui Xin reluctantly let go of the door, Orchid hurriedly walked in, went straight to the inner room, knelt in front of Shen Yuechen with a plop, kowtowed three times in a row and said, "Grandma help!" Please save the slave and the maid! ”

Shen Yuechen looked at the tear-stained orchid on her face, with a slightly puzzled look on her face, and said lightly: "What's going on again?" What kind of crooked thoughts did Aunt Qin have again? ”

Orchid first shook her head, then nodded, and choked up: "Grandma Da Shao, Aunt Qin, she ...... She is a crazy person at all, the slave is afraid, the slave and the maid no longer dare to serve by her side, and asks the grandmother to show the slave and the maid a way to live......"

Shen Yuechen's eyes widened when he heard this, he glanced at her lightly, drank another sip of sweet soup, and then said, "You really deserve to say this." Since he is a slave and a maidservant, it is his duty to serve his master! How can it be your turn to say yes or no. What's more, this will be fine for you, and Aunt Qin will also be fine, what do you need me to save your life? ”

Orchid wiped a handful of tears and continued to cry: "Grandma, you have seen everything in your eyes today, and the slave and maid dare not say much, so she only asks the grandmother to save the slave and maid...... As soon as the slave maid saw Aunt Qin, she was scared...... The slave is willing to be a cow and a horse, and from now on, she will be loyal to her grandmother for the rest of her life. ”

True blue? When Shen Yuechen heard these four words, she only felt a little funny, she had just betrayed her master, and this would show her loyalty to others, it was really difficult to make people believe it.

Shen Yuechen slowly put the medicine bowl in his hand on the table, and raised his eyes to look at the orchid coldly: "Serving your master well is your way to live." Although she is now locked up and confined, she is neither deaf nor blind after all, you are crying and crying here with me, if she knows, she may not be able to clean you up? ”

Orchid's body trembled, refusing to give up so easily, and kowtowed again: "Please, please, grandma." ”

Shen Yuechen frowned slightly, didn't say anything, and just asked the maid to send her out.

Right now, as long as it has something to do with Qin Taoxi, whether it is a person or a thing, she is very angry, and she is unwilling to listen to it or take a look at it more.
