Whether it's a boy or a girl, there's only half the chance, and everything depends on luck.

Shen Yuechen retracted his thoughts, looked at the sky outside, and asked, "Why haven't the children come back yet?" ”

Wu's mother thought for a while and said, "The old man took them to see the koi." ”

Before, because Brother Ming was too young, he never let him go to play on the edge of the pond. However, now that he can run and go, and the old man is willing to spoil him, he can do a lot of things.

Brother Ming is not as sensible and cautious as Zhu Ying, and occasionally says some inconsequential jokes, which makes the old man very happy.

He has always been reluctant to pay attention to the trivial matters at home, but now, when he is old, his eyes are spent, and he has no thoughts about the beauties, but he is willing to stay with the children, listening and watching, and only feels that he is full of energy and energy like them.

Brother Ming made the old man laugh again today without exception.

Mr. Zhu asked him what he wanted to do when he grew up?

Brother Ming didn't have any scruples, and replied bluntly: "When I grow up, I want to go out and break into the world." ”

Old man Zhu is happy, just as he is a yellow-mouthed child, whimsical, but he dares to think about anything and dare to say anything.

Old Man Zhu touched his round little face and said with a smile: "You little guy, it's not a small tone to listen to you." It's a pity, our Zhu family's ancestral training is clearly written, and the descendants of the Zhu family are not allowed to enter the court as officials. ”

When Brother Ming heard this, he was very disapproving, and only raised his head and said: "Great-grandfather, what is there to be so majestic about being an official, if I want to do it, I will be the king above the ten thousand people." ”

The ancestors of the Zhu family asked their children and grandchildren not to be officials, but they didn't say that they would not be allowed to be emperors.

It should have been a joke of fairy tales, but it made Old Man Zhu stunned on the spot, and his heart was turbulent.

The Zhu family has been in business for generations, has been down-and-out, and has also been prosperous, but no matter what the circumstances around them are, the Zhu family has never moved the idea of wanting to gain fame, and even if they do, they think silently in their hearts.

The old man stroked his gray beard, remembering that when he was young, he had secretly thought about being a powerful general. However, such childish thoughts come and go quickly.

He spent most of his life dealing with money and food, and the rest of the time, he was surrounded by women. Decades have passed, and the old man has never felt sorry because he can't be an official, but now, because of Brother Ming's joke, he suddenly has some ideas.

As the saying goes, good men are ambitious in all directions. Although Brother Ming is young, he can have such an unbeatable idea, which shows that he is also an ambitious child.

Ambition...... Thinking back then, Jintang's child was also ambitious, but he was firmly tied to this family business by his family, and Brother Ming was his son, so he would naturally inherit his temper and ambition.

The Zhu family has always prided themselves on being a serious businessman, and being a businessman has the benefits of being a businessman, but there are also many unavoidable difficulties.

Now, because of the grace of the Ruan family, the Zhu family also has the dignity of the official family.

Old Man Zhu has always believed that officialdom is a big dye vat, and as long as it is touched with it, it will be infected with color......

The Zhu family has already stepped into half a foot, and they always want to stay out of the matter, I am afraid that it is no longer possible, only by judging the situation and integrating into it is the best policy......

The words of the child's family were fluttering, but the little restless caution that he had pressed in his heart for many years was activated.

I think that back then, if Jintang was allowed to gain fame, if I wanted to come to the Zhu family today, there would definitely be a different world.

Now, the great-eldest grandson of the Zhu family wants to be Wang Liwei when he is less than three years old, which is not the ambition that ordinary villains can have.

That's the case at a young age, and when you grow up, you can pay it back...... Old Man Zhu hesitated, not knowing whether he should fulfill the ambition of a child, or give the Zhu family a chance to truly glorify their ancestors.

However, officialdom is like a battlefield, and there is no turning back if you step into it with one foot. If one person is defeated, it is the defeat of the entire family, and the future prospects, the glory and wealth in front of him, will also disappear.

The old man frowned slightly, and said in his heart: Such a dangerous road should not be the path that the Zhu family should take, nor should it be the path that this child should take......

After Brother Ming saw that he finished speaking, the old man's face changed slightly, and he suddenly fell silent, and he couldn't help but be a little careful, and deliberately pretended to play with Zhu Ying. He hoped that the old man didn't think much about it, but he still had a little mind in his heart.

In the evening, without waiting for Shen Yuechen to ask, he directly confessed his mistake to her, saying that he might have said the wrong thing, which made the old man suspicious.

Shen Yuechen was slightly stunned when she heard this, and said with a very concerned expression: "What did you say?" ”

Seeing that she was so serious, Brother Ming lowered his head a little weakly, and replied hesitantly: "I said I want to be the emperor." ”

He obviously said it after thinking about it seriously, but for some reason, as soon as he arrived in front of Shen Yuechen, he couldn't become reasonable, as if he was really a child and talked nonsense.

Aura, this is definitely aura. Brother Ming said secretly in his heart.

Shen Yuechen listened to Brother Ming'er's shocking words, he was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, raised his hand to support his forehead, and sighed helplessly: "You are really like this again, say whatever you want to say." ”

She has forgotten how many times she has reminded Brother Ming before, be cautious in her words and deeds, be cautious in her words and deeds! But he didn't listen, and still went his own way, which made people anxious and helpless.

Brother Ming saw that she didn't speak for a while, lowered his head and fiddled with the strap on his clothes, and stopped talking. He wasn't afraid of Shen Yuechen, but he was worried that she would be really angry.

Her belly was now slightly bulging, and just looking at it made people unconsciously want to be careful.

Brother Ming saw that she ignored herself, so she looked up and looked around, then took a step forward and dragged it: "Angry again?" ”

Shen Yuechen still ignored him, just gently withdrew his sleeve, sat quietly, pursed the corners of his lips, and looked displeased.

Brother Ming didn't like to see her like this, he would rather her lose her temper than be stuffy.

For him, women are definitely the most difficult species in the world to understand.

"If you want to say it, just say it, if you want to train, what is the luck of sitting here?"

Shen Yuechen didn't look at him, and then called Chun Ming and instructed her, "Send Young Master Ming to the eldest lady." ”

After Shen Yuechen became pregnant, Brother Ming couldn't come back often to stay overnight, and it was rare for him to come back today, but he had to send him away.

When Brother Ming saw this, his expression darkened, and he knew that Shen Yuechen was unwilling to take care of himself anymore, so he had to leave with Chunming obediently.

Seeing Brother Ming go back with a sullen face, Mother Wu picked up the curtain and came in and asked, "What's wrong with Young Master Ming?" Did you get into some trouble again, Miss, and make you angry. ”

Brother Ming'er has always been naughty, and occasionally thinks of a play, which often makes people cry and laugh, and is helpless.

Shen Yuechen was still worried about Brother Ming'er's affairs, rubbed her brows, and said, "It's not a big deal, I just said a few words to him." ”

When Mother Wu heard this, she slowly stepped forward and said, "Seeing that the young lady seems to have a headache, I'll grate your hair with a comb to relieve your fatigue?" ”

Shen Yuechen nodded and said with a smile: "Then there is Mother Lao." ”

She sat in front of the vanity mirror, watched Wu's mother untie her hair, and then took an ivory comb and carefully combed it slowly for her.

She pondered slightly for a moment before she spoke: "Brother Ming'er, that kid is getting more and more naughty. ”

Wu's mother smiled and said, "Boys are like this. The more naughty you are, the smarter you are. ”

"The family spoils him too much, and it's not a way to go on like this."

There are some words, Shen Yuechen can't say too deeply, so he can only sigh a few words lightly.

Wu's mother thought that she was afraid that she would spoil Brother Ming too much, and the child would not become mature when he grew up, so she comforted: "How can any child in this world be naughty." Although Brother Ming is naughty, he is also smart and understands everything in his heart. I think that at the beginning, when the young lady first entered the door, he loved to be close to the young lady, which shows that he is transparent and knows who is really good to him. ”

Shen Yuechen shook his head with a smile. Heart, how can it be so simple, the bond between their mother and son is deeper than anyone can imagine.

Mother Wu then said, "It's right that Miss loves Young Master Ming. As the saying goes, it is difficult for stepmothers to do. Miss is not Brother Ming's biological mother, and she should love him more. ”

Mother Wu is completely for Shen Yuechen's sake, Brother Ming is the heart of the whole family, everyone can't hurt it, who dares to criticize him more than half a sentence? Even if someone needs to stand up to teach him, it shouldn't be Shen Yuechen who sings white faces.

When Shen Yuechen heard this, she couldn't help but be silent again.

It would be nice if Brother Ming was a real child. Then, she can also discipline him and raise him like a real mother, but he is an adult who does not want to be controlled by others.

For him, his bitter preaching is of no use at all, because he will not listen to it, and he does not want to hear it.

Shen Yuechen couldn't help but feel worried, she couldn't teach Brother Ming as a son, and she couldn't get along with him as a friend, so what method should she use to restrain his words and deeds.

Today, he said to the old lady that he wanted to be the emperor, although he was unscrupulous, but it was also a shame that the old man did not care.

It's okay for a child to talk casually, but if he waits another three or five years later, when he grows up, and his family thinks that he is a sensible child, Brother Ming still talks as he wants, wouldn't it be troublesome.

Real children are very good at learning, and they learn what adults say. Brother Ming is so young, he can say those presumptuous and bold words, the elders may listen to it at first and find it interesting, but if he keeps saying this and always talking like this, it is really difficult for people not to misunderstand......

Shen Yuechen shook her head secretly, it is not a way to go on like this, for the sake of long-term planning, she must determine the relationship between the two of them with Brother Ming, as well as the way to get along.

Brother Ming's joke made Old Man Zhu remember it.

Sure enough, within a few days, he took the opportunity of morning and dusk to settle down and ask about Shen Yuechen's enlightenment to Brother Ming.

Shen Yuechen's eyebrows moved slightly, and she smiled softly: "The candidates for the master, a few have been decided before, but Brother Ming'er is still young, and the masters all say that it is good to wait for another two years." ”

When the old man heard this, he shook his head disapprovingly: "Let's Brother Ming spoke early, there is no need to wait for so long, I think it's better to start enlightening early." ”

The old lady was a little surprised and said, "What's wrong with the old man today?" Why did you suddenly care about Brother Ming's studies? A child who is only a little older, why is he in a hurry? Jintang was also a master when he was four or five years old......"

The old man didn't wait for her to finish, then interrupted her: "What do you know about a woman?" Our Brother Ming is a child with a lot of talent, and it is a good thing to read and write early. ”

The old lady and Li Shi looked at each other, and for a while they couldn't understand what happened to the old man suddenly.

He rarely cares about such things, because he doesn't like to worry about it, and he usually only likes to tease his grandson.

"When the child is naughty, he is handed over to those old masters to manage, and the child's aura is gone, and he grows up like a little old man."

The old lady said this, but it was from the bottom of her heart. Think about it, Zhu Jintang was enlightened too early when he was a child, so he let the child become too calm, and he became an adult early, and it felt like he suddenly grew up without being coquettish.

Looking back, it's a bit of a shame now.

Shen Yuechen lowered his head and took a sip of tea, knowing that the change in the old man's attitude was inseparable from Brother Ming'er's presumptuous words and deeds.

If the old man hadn't paid attention, he wouldn't have suddenly brought it up.

Shen Yuechen was secretly embarrassed, according to Brother Ming'er's temperament of daring to say and do, if he really met those one-eyed masters, it was estimated that eighty percent would make people angry.

Just imagine, the master is also reasoning over there, and Brother Ming will stare at his wrinkled face with disdain, in case he is angry, he is even likely to suddenly show off, saying that he knows more masters, and then say something that people in this era can't understand at all......

Shen Yuechen held the hand of the tea bowl and paused slightly, only to feel that such a situation would definitely not be his fantasy.

Since she talked about Brother Ming'er, the old lady couldn't help but ask Shen Yuechen's opinion as a mother.

Shen Yuechen said gently: "Brother Ming, this kid is indeed smart, but he is not very sensible, and he needs to be disciplined a little more before he can be handed over to the masters to learn." ”

Seeing that she was the same as she thought, the old lady couldn't help but nod and said, "Yes, it will take another year and a half." Brother Ming is a monkey now, well-behaved, but once he gets angry, I'm afraid that ordinary people won't be able to take care of it. Wouldn't it be insulting to turn around and tear off the old master's beard again......" When she said this, she deliberately looked at the old man with a slight smile.

The old man subconsciously touched his beard, remembering the scene when Brother Ming was naughty, he pulled his beard, smiled, nodded and said, "That's right, maybe I'm too anxious, so let's talk about it later."

Shen Yuechen secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.

Afterwards, she deliberately went to Li Shi in person and picked up Brother Ming.

Li Shi saw that she was in good spirits and wanted to be close to the child, so he nodded yes.

Brother Ming was a little surprised, after all, Shen Yuechen hadn't taken the initiative to deal with him for several days. Not to mention that he was tired, he deliberately got up late and didn't go to say goodbye, so that he didn't even have a chance to meet her.

After Shen Yuechen picked up Brother Ming, she let Chun Ming and Cui Xin retreat, leaving only their mother and son.

Seeing this, Brother Ming blinked his eyes, and took the initiative to speak: "I thought you were going to never talk to me again." ”

To be honest, this is the first time that Shen Yuechen has been angry with him for so long, in the past, it only took half a day's work to dissipate her anger, but now it has to be used for several days.

Sure enough, pregnant women are more sensitive.

Shen Yuechen looked at Brother Ming'er's immature and lovely face, and said with a serious expression: "Zhu Qingming, listen carefully, I have something to ask you." ”

Brother Ming was stunned when she heard this, and she didn't react for a while, and after thinking about it, she realized that she had just called her name.

Zhu Qingming This is the name given to him by the old man Zhu according to the family tree, the clear character is from the water, and the clear character represents the sun and the moon, and can also represent the meaning of light.

However, because everyone usually calls him Brother Ming, it makes people a little unable to react for a while.

Seeing that she was so serious, Brother Ming thought that something was wrong, so he hurriedly sat up and asked, "What?" Is something wrong? ”

Shen Yuechen said lightly: "Before anyone has an accident, I want to ask you a question, Zhu Qingming, are you willing to be my son?" Are you willing to be the eldest son and grandson of the Zhu family? ”

Brother Ming was a little puzzled by her question, and wondered: "What do you mean by this?" You're confusing me. ”

Shen Yuechen repeated her question again, and then said, "My question is very simple, you just have to answer it truthfully." ”

Brother Ming thought that she was buying another pass, but a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes, and she only said, "You are asking knowingly." The situation I am in now is not something I can choose. ”

Shen Yuechen shook his head when he heard this: "Don't talk about yourself so pitifully." Your current life is something that many people can't ever dream of. Moreover, you are not without choices, and the path you want to take in the future depends on your choices today. ”

Seeing her so serious, Brother Ming couldn't help frowning and said, "You won't see me again to teach me a lesson, right?" ”

Shen Yuechen still shook his head: "I won't teach you a lesson until you answer my question." ”

Brother Ming was a little anxious, "Whether I am your son or not, you know it in your own heart." Is it necessary for you and me to turn a corner and talk like this? ”

It's a little unsettling to see her look so cold.

Shen Yuechen saw that he was in a hurry, but he was not in a hurry, and continued to say slowly: "Zhu Qingming, I didn't think about it before, and my attitude towards you has always been too indulgent and humble, so that you will feel that you are my friend, not my son." Now, you are growing up day by day, and there are some things that can no longer be delayed, and you must immediately make it clear and clear that it is best for you and me. In the end, it is a son and a friend, you can only choose one! ”

Brother Ming looked at her puzzled, I don't know what happened to her suddenly, she just didn't know what to do. "Sons and friends? What do you tell me to choose, and what do you mean? Let's be clear. ”
