Chapter 198: Salute Before Soldiers (4)
Shen Yuechen and Zhu Jinlun stood under the corridor and greeted them politely, and then a little maid came to serve them.
Shen Yuechen saw that Zhu Jinlun didn't even have a subordinate by his side, and said softly: "I think, the second brother doesn't even have anyone to serve around, so it's better for the maids in the courtyard to carry lanterns and send you back." β
Zhu Jinlun hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Sister-in-law, don't bother, this moonlight is just right, refreshing and refreshing, I'll just walk back alone, just sober up." The sister-in-law and the eldest brother rested peacefully, and the younger brother said goodbye and said goodbye. β
Shen Yuechen nodded and didn't insist anymore. "Second brother, walk slowly."
When he walked out of the courtyard gate, Shen Yuechen turned around and entered the house with Brother Ming in his arms, only to see that Zhu Jintang was still sitting at the table drinking, his face was slightly red, and his eyes were bright.
When Brother Ming saw that there was wine on the table, his heart suddenly became a little restless, and he wanted to taste it.
When Zhu Jintang saw her coming, he put down his wine glass and said, "Nylon went back?" β
Shen Yuechen replied softly: "Well, the second master left alone." β
Zhu Jintang raised his eyes and glanced at Brother Di Ming, who was moving around in Shen Yuechen's arms, and said, "Don't hold him, let him come over." β
Shen Yuechen put Brother Ming beside him, Brother Ming put his hands on his knees, and looked at the table with his neck, only to see that there was fish, meat and wine on it, it was really a wonderful combination.
Brother Ming couldn't help but smack his lips a little greedily.
He can't just eat and drink as much as he wants, let alone taste the wine.
Zhu Jintang saw that Brother Ming had been looking at his wine glass, suddenly picked up a chopstick, put it in and was stained by Lori, and then handed it to Brother Ming'er's mouth and said, "If you want to taste it, try it." β
Seeing this, Shen Yuechen saw that before she could stop it, she saw that Brother Ming had already opened her mouth and held the chopsticks.
Brother Ming seemed to taste the taste, and he didn't hate it at all, which made Zhu Jintang a little surprised, and then the corners of his mouth rose and smiled slightly.
Brother Ming grabbed the chopsticks and wanted to dip some more wine to eat.
Shen Yuechen was also not allowed, and said, "You are not allowed to eat again, how old are you." β
Brother Ming is small, so he naturally can't resist Shen Yuechen. Zhu Jintang also patted his head and said, "Don't worry, I'll talk about it when you grow up." After saying that, he also stood up, "I will go out for a walk and sober up so that I will not be full of wine." β
"Do you want a concubine to go with you?"
Zhu Jintang waved his hand: "No need, you can take care of Brother Ming." I'll just walk around on my own and I'll be right back. β
When Shen Yuechen heard this, his eyes flashed slightly, and he felt that he seemed to be a little worried, probably because he wanted to be quiet alone, so he didn't insist anymore.
Brother Ming'er's attention shifted from the wine table to the two of them.
When Shen Yuechen turned around, he saw that he was staring at him, and hurriedly said, "What's wrong?" β
Brother Ming clasped his hands on his chest, looked at her and said, "You have something on your mind, and he has something on your mind." β
Shen Yuechen laughed when he heard this: "It's your cleverness." β
Brother Ming took advantage of the fact that the maids had not come in to clean up the dishes, so he asked, "What's going on again?" β
Shen Yuechen said lightly: "Recently, because of me, the relationship between the long room and the second room is a little tense, no, it should be said that it is very nervous." β
Brother Ming thought for a moment and said, "It has something to do with you?" Haven't you already passed your difficulties? β
Shen Yuechen shook his head: "It's still early, everything has just begun." Although I hate to say this, in the days to come, we may not be able to live as freely as we used to. β
Come to an end? In fact, it has only just begun.
When Brother Ming heard this, he said helplessly: "Do whatever you want?" When have I ever had one? β
Shen Yuechen immediately said lightly: "The last time you helped me out of the siege, it should also be clear, my health is not good, and I can't add a son and a half daughter to the long house for the time being, but the reason why the Zhu family married me in the first place was for the sake of children." Now, I have let them down, and with it, the situation of the long house has become awkward. The Zhu family's family business, only the eldest son of the eldest son of the long family can be qualified to inherit it, this is the old rule left by the ancestors, your grandfather is like this, your father is the same, and you will be like this in the future. However, the heirs of the long house are thin, and the second room is about to add Ding and people, and our momentum has been slightly inferior, and the situation has become a little troublesome. β
Brother Ming listened very seriously, his eyes flashed, and he only said: "If you say that, does the second room have the intention to fight with the long room?" β
Shen Yuechen nodded slightly: "That's true." β
When Brother Ming heard this, he couldn't help sighing: "This family is really not peaceful." It's just that if you want to fight, you have to compete in an upright manner, how can you compare the superiority with the number of children born? Women are not tools for giving birth to children. When he said this, he paused slightly, looked at Shen Yuechen, who looked slightly gloomy, took a deep breath, and continued: "It turns out that those mothers-in-law are not chewing their tongues anymore...... We look like we're going to be in trouble. β
Shen Yuechen said quietly: "Having many sons and grandchildren is a sign of the prosperity of the family. It's a pity, although we are unwilling, but we are now living in such an era of male superiority and inferiority. β
Why doesn't Shen Yuechen know what equality between men and women is, what fairness is, and what freedom is? If you want to talk about theory, it is estimated that she will not be able to finish it even if she talks for three days and three nights. However, these feudal shackles, traditional concepts, and stubborn ideas cannot be changed by her alone, the boldness and efforts of two people.
Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest. The simpler the truth, the more useful it is.
Since he had said this, Shen Yuechen couldn't help but bend down, squatted on the ground, looked directly into Brother Ming's eyes, and said very seriously: "People are selfish, aren't they?" You and I are both people who have been through a lot, so even if we have to face more difficult situations in the future, we will not panic and lose our sense of proportion...... Isn't it? It's not easy to be the head of the family, you just have to be yourself. β
Brother Ming frowned and said, "It seems that it is not easy to be a rich second generation in ancient times." But don't worry, I've never wanted to live in a mess for comfort, and when I grow up, I won't lose to anyone. β
"I'm sure you won't lose to anyone." Shen Yuechen still agreed seriously.
Brother Ming is a smart person, and he has complete memories from his previous life, what he understands and what he will gain is naturally not something that ordinary people can imagine. Even just some ordinary common sense can make him stand out.
Once, Shen Yuechen imagined more than once what it would be like if he were a man in this life. If she was a man, then the Shen family would not have been willing to abandon her at the beginning...... If she was a man, she would not have married into the Zhu family in the first place, and everything would have changed.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuechen couldn't help but smile, only to feel that he was a little naΓ―ve. In this world, there are no ifs, only now.
β¦β¦
Zhu Jinlun walked slowly in the yard, not in a hurry to go back at all, it was rare that he wanted to be quiet and quiet, and today was an opportunity.
He has never liked to go to bed early, and just now he drank a few more glasses of wine, and he couldn't help but feel more energetic.
Suddenly, a breeze blew through, blowing bursts of floral fragrance with a few petals.
Zhu Jinlun paused, followed the fragrance to find it, and saw that there was a quiet orchid grass planted next to the rockery, green and verdant, with a little beautiful little flowers, very good-looking.
The faint orchid fragrance is not thick or depressed, and it is just right.
Zhu Jinlun stood in place for a while, a little reluctant to leave, and wanted to stay for a while by the moonlight.
I don't know how long it took, but there was a crisp bell ringing in my ears, shaking and shaking, getting closer and closer, louder and louder, and it was particularly clear in the silence of the night.
Zhu Jinlun shook his head and listened to the sound of the bell, only to find it strange and interesting.
In the middle of the night, who is ringing the bell? It can't be a ghost, right?
Zhu Jinlun was thinking like this, and saw a short figure walking over from the flowers not far away, as if he was wearing blue and white clothes, looking very infiltrating.
Although, it will be dark and some can't see clearly, but he is 100% sure that it is not a ghost, but a person.
The corners of Zhu Jinlun's mouth raised slightly, and with a slight drunkenness, he was still a little curious, wanting to find out the source of this ringtone.
However, he had only followed a few steps, when the bell suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a slight sobbing, and then he saw a little fire in the clearing behind the flowers, as if someone was lighting a fire.
Seeing this, Zhu Jinlun immediately strode over, took a closer look, and saw that someone had lit the brazier to burn the paper again, so he raised his foot and kicked the brazier away, so that the fire that had just been ignited was extinguished again.
His movements were very fast, and his strength was also very strong, and he directly kicked the brazier several meters away, provoking the figure who was originally squatting on the ground, and he was so frightened that he sat on the ground and didn't dare to make a sound.
Zhu Jinlun lowered his head and frowned, his eyes became deeper and deeper, only looking at the shadow of the person on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "In the middle of the night, who asked you to light a brazier here?" Which courtyard are you in? β
The figure seemed to be startled by his sudden move, and froze on the ground, seeing him ask sharply, before he muttered, "I am ...... I'm ......."
Zhu Jinlun saw that she dared to call herself "me" in front of her, and then said, "What's your name?" Which yard is the girl who works in the hospital? I don't understand the rules at all. β
There will be no one else in the yard, and if the water is gone, something will happen.
There are either flowers or trees in this yard, and once they are lit, the consequences are unimaginable......
At this time, the people on the ground came back to their senses and raised their heads to look at Zhu Jinlun.
He stood against the moonlight, unable to see his features clearly, giving only a tall and intimidating black shadow and a stern and deep voice.
The maid who was paralyzed on the ground couldn't help but be startled again, and almost screamed, trembling and trembling: "Slave maid...... The slave just wants to burn some paper money for her deceased mother......"
Paper money? When Zhu Jinlun heard this, he was even more annoyed in his heart, "What a bold man, he dared to burn paper money in the yard, and he couldn't spare you today." β
When the man heard this, he trembled even more with fright, and he just begged for mercy.
Zhu Jinlun was about to reach out and pull her up from the ground, but saw her suddenly get up excitedly, turn around and run back.
Zhu Jinlun was a little surprised, but she didn't expect that she was still crying and crying, and she still had the courage to run away.
After all, he was drunk, and his pace was noticeably half a beat slower, and he did not keep up in time, and could only watch her, like a frightened rabbit, and run away in a puff of smoke.
She ran fast, the bell ringing non-stop, sounding just as flustered.
Zhu Jinlun stood in place and hesitated for a second, but still didn't raise his step to chase after him.
Although he didn't see her face clearly, he knew that she had a bell tied to her, and early tomorrow morning, he sent someone to check it, and he knew which courtyard it was.
Zhu Jinlun thought so, so he exhaled softly, and said in his heart: I originally wanted to go and breathe. Unexpectedly, I also caught a bell ghost.
He walked over to the brazier where he was kicking and looked around, only to see that there were no sparks, so he was relieved. However, looking at the paper that was thrown on the ground and had not yet been burned, I still felt very unlucky.
Because of such a chance encounter, Zhu Jinlun's wine woke up a lot, and slowly walked back to his yard.
Early the next morning, Zhu Nylon got up a little late.
Chai ordered someone to bring breakfast and tonic soup early in the morning, and kept them warm on the stove.
Originally, after a good night's sleep, Zhu Jinlun almost forgot about last night's "ghost collision". However, as soon as he saw the little servant Zhu Fu in the morning, he remembered something and asked, "Go back and ask Mama Yang?" Have you bought any new people in our house recently? If a new person comes in, ask who they are? What's their name? β
When Zhu Fu heard this, he was slightly stunned, and hurriedly responded: "Yes." The little one got it. However, Second Master, why did you suddenly ask about this? Do you want to add someone? β
Zhu Jinlun saw him asking questions one after another, and glanced up at him: "You kid, why do you talk so much?" β
Zhu Fu hurriedly lowered his head and said, "The little one is too mouthy." The little one just thinks that the second master will get married in a few days, and as soon as the new lady arrives, it is time to add a few new faces to our yard. β
When talking about Zhu Jinlun's marriage, Zhu Fu couldn't help but smile, looking even happier than the person concerned.
Zhu Jinlun smiled faintly: "It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry." How happy you are, boy. β
To be honest, Zhu Jinlun did not show much expectation for his marriage.
People are selected by the elders, and they are naturally girls from good families, with good appearance and good family background, so they can learn well. Therefore, he was very relieved, but he was only relieved, but he did not feel happy.
Come to think of it, Zhu Jintang also married Qin Hongjuan and Shen Yuechen in this way. It's a pity that his luck doesn't seem to be very good, one is dead, the other is sick, and they are all women with a bitter stomach. Therefore, Zhu Jinlun is not looking forward to any stunning beauty, he only hopes that his luck will be better than Zhu Jintang, with a dignified appearance and a healthy body, which is the best.
