The Zhu family is the richest man in Texas, has been in business for generations, and has amazing wealth, and its industry controls all the grain, tea, medicinal materials and some basic daily necessities near Texas, and there are more than a dozen shops with the same name across the country.

It is said that in Texas, nearly half of the shops that are open on every street belong to the Zhu family.

However, the Zhu family has a big business, but the heirs are not prosperous, and the old man Zhu has a group of wives and concubines, but there are only two sons under his knees, the eldest son Zhu Feng and the second son Zhu Jun. The remaining twelve are all daughters, and among these twelve daughters, the most promising one is Zhu Yuanlan, the eldest daughter who married the second concubine of Jingguo Gong.

Old man Zhu is over half a hundred years old, and now he is replaced by Zhu Feng, the son of the Zhu family, and the second grandmother Zhu who came to the Shen family as a guest before is the second wife of Zhu Jun, the second master of Zhu.

The Shen family and the Zhu family originally did not have much friendship, but since Shen Zhiyun became the prefect of Laizhou, the contacts between the two families began to increase.

Shen Yuechen is in the boudoir and rarely goes out, only knowing that the Zhu family is a big family, but as for how big it is, she still knows very little, fortunately, there is Wu Ma by her side.

Wu Ma used to make friends with a fellow villager sister when she was young, and now she happens to be on an errand in the Zhu family, although she is just doing chores in the kitchen, but she still knows more or less about the things of the masters.

The Zhu family's style is very strict, and Wu's mother spent a lot of time to get some things about the Zhu family from the mouths of her fellow villagers.

Just half a year ago, the future head of the Zhu family, Zhu Feng's eldest son Zhu Jintang's wife Qin finally lived up to expectations, and gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Zhu family in the fourth year of entering the door.

Recently, Qin's health has deteriorated, and it is estimated that the remaining days are numbered......

Mother Wu kept these words in her heart, and relayed them to Shen Yuechen one by one after she went back.

Shen Yuechen listened, the expression on his face flashed a trace of complexity, and he slowly put down the pen in his hand, and began to think about what had happened in the past two days.

She was originally a very happy person to make plans, and that was the case a long time ago, when she was a woman from another plane. Moreover, with the current environment and status, she needs to be more careful in everything, take precautions, and plan ahead.

Two days later, Yun Jin Pavilion sent the clothes that had been prepared in advance. A lilac-colored embroidered gold-threaded satin gown, a water-pink cloud brocade dress and a moon-white eight-panel Hunan skirt, and a water-blue gold threaded yarn skirt.

Shen Yuechen looked at the gold and silver threads embroidered on the lace of those dresses, and felt slightly dazzling.

"Emerald Heart."

"Yes."

"Change my clothes and make up for me."

Cui Xin was overjoyed when she heard this, "Is Miss going to try on new clothes?" ”

Shen Yuechen smiled slightly and sat down in front of the dresser, "Of course I have to try it on." ”

Cui Xin hurriedly opened the makeup, took out a cow bone comb, and combed her hair seriously.

After dark, after dinner, the courtyards went to the main courtyard to greet the old lady.

Since Shen Yuechen returned to the Shen family, the old lady has dispensed with her daily morning and dusk determination, except for the fifteenth day of the first month of the month, she can not go there the rest of the time.

Today, though, is an exception.

The maids and ladies under the eaves all looked over in unison, only to see that the eldest girl, who is usually always plain to the end, is unusually today, wearing a new pink embroidered satin dress, a moon-white pleated skirt, and the long hair after combing is curled into a conical bun, and a delicate hairpin bead flower is inserted on it.

Shen Yuechen rarely dressed up so pretty, no wonder those maids stood stunned, and thought for a moment before she lowered her body to salute and lift the curtain. "The big girl has arrived."

Shen Yuechen raised her forehead slightly, crossed the threshold with her skirt, and heard a clear and cold voice inside: "What is she doing here?" The tone was full of disdain.

Shen Yuechen didn't hear it, slowly walked into the house, and looked up to see Xiao and his two daughters sitting on the brocade stool next to Luohan's bed talking to the old lady, and the two aunts in the second room were standing on both sides, holding silk fans, fanning the old lady in person instead of the maids.

After Shen Yuechen came in, the conversation and laughter in the room stopped abruptly, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on her, but she was at ease, bent her knees and blessed the old lady, and said in a soft voice: "Yuechen asked grandmother to come here." ”

The old lady was a little surprised when she looked at her pleasing dress, and when she took a closer look, she found that her face was also smeared with a faint fat powder, and her skin was as white as jade, her eyes were like morning stars, and her smile was particularly vivid.

The old lady was stunned for a moment before she raised her hand and motioned for her to get up and speak, "You are dressed in this material just right." ”

"Thank you grandmother for your grace." Shen Yuechen slowly raised his head, looked at the old lady's face, curled the corners of his mouth and said, "This dress was delivered just now, the style is very good-looking, I thought about putting it on for you to see as soon as possible......

Shen Yuechen smiled sweetly at the old lady, her eyes full of smiles were as bright as morning stars, which made people feel comfortable from the bottom of their hearts.

The old lady's heart moved slightly, and she couldn't help but look at her a few more times, and said in a light tone: "The girl's house is still better dressed up." Now that you're fifteen, you're a good person, don't always be a vegetarian in the future. ”

According to the ancient customs, once a girl reaches the age of fifteen, she must wear a hairpin, perform a bow, and officially become an adult.

Looking at Shen Yuechen, who was completely different from usual, listening to the old lady's words, Xiao's face changed, and then returned to normal, but the smile on his face was much less. "It's really a person who relies on clothes and Buddha relies on gold, and the big girl is dressed up like this, so we almost can't recognize it."

When Shen Yuechen heard this, she smiled and saluted her and Shen Zhijian, only to hear a clear and beautiful voice coming: "I haven't seen you for a few days, but the eldest girl's complexion looks a lot better." ”

The person who spoke was Shen Zhijian's concubine Aunt Wan, she is now twenty-nine years old, with a beautiful appearance and a slender figure, wearing a long red embroidered hibiscus makeup and satin dress, wearing gold and silver, and she is extravagant.

Aunt Wan was born in a small family in the south of the Yangtze River, has been in the house for many years, and has always had a very good relationship with Shen Zhijian, and she also gave birth to his eldest son Shen Mingyuan and second son Shen Mingfang.

Although the Xiao family is the main family that Ming Media is marrying, she has no children under her knees, and has only added two daughters to Shen Zhijian over the years, so even if she is very disgusted with Aunt Wan in her heart, she still insists on raising her two concubines by her side.

Every time Shen Yuechen saw Aunt Wan, she was smiling with her eyebrows and eyes, and she looked extremely kind, which made people completely unable to see through her true thoughts.

When Xiao Shi heard this, he said lightly: "I eat and drink carefully every day, how can my complexion be bad." Then, she raised a slightly displeased face, looked at Shen Yuechen and continued: "You have really been doing well these days, and your complexion is much better than before, and it has not been in vain for the old lady's hard work." ”

Shen Yuechen didn't care about it, smiled gently, and said softly: "Grandmother loves me so much, I naturally want to grow up well for my grandmother." I haven't been filial for so long, so I want to come over every day to say goodbye to my grandmother in the future, so I can do my filial piety. ”
