A glass of water and wine went down, and Zhu Jinlun's conversation box was immediately opened.

Because they are busy with their family's business all day long, even if the two of them are chatting, they are not far from the topic.

This year's spring ploughing has already begun, because the harvest of the previous two years was not very good, so everyone is looking forward to a bumper harvest this year.

If this year's harvest is not good, then grain prices will continue to rise steadily, and there will certainly be people who take advantage of the chaos to raise prices and raise prices.

Zhu Jinlun poured Zhu Jintang a glass of wine, and said lightly: "Spring ploughing has begun, this will be a good time again, is the eldest brother interested in taking a walk in the Zhuangzi below?" ”

Zhu Jintang picked up his full wine glass and took a sip gently: "The things in the Zhuangzi, just have Zhu Rong to watch." ”

When Zhu Jinlun heard this, he smiled faintly: "It seems that the eldest brother has been very busy recently?" However, although Zhu Rong is good, he can't understand the will of heaven in the end, how can he know whether this year's harvest is good or bad? ”

"He's an old man, and he's also very good at dealing with those farmers. Zhu Rong has known them for many years, and knows their temperament very well, and he can do things in their hearts. ”

Zhu Jinlun only said: "In the past, I often saw my eldest brother walking around, and I thought that my eldest brother liked it very much. However, it seems that the country village man is the country village man, and the eldest brother still disdains those people in his heart. ”

After hearing this, Zhu Jintang shook his head slightly and said, "That's not what I said. It's not that I don't like dealing with them. They have their way of life, and I'm a person who pays too much attention to it, and every time I use it, I make them work hard, but I lose my kindness. ”

When Zhu Jinlun heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "We are the owners, they are tenants, a master, and a slave, where can we talk about anything cordial or intimate." ”

Zhu Jintang frowned slightly unconsciously, his eyes flashed, as if he was displeased, and then changed the topic and said: "The fire last year caused us a lot of losses. Granaries can be rebuilt, but it's not easy to fill them one by one. ”

Zhu Jinlun saw him mention the incident of the Wang family, and said in a deep voice: "The incident last time was really dangerous, and now it will make people feel scared!" But it can never be repeated. The affairs of the Wang family have taught us a long lesson, as the saying goes, it is better to offend the gentleman than to offend the villain. ”

When Zhu Jintang heard this, he smiled lightly: "There are a few people who are crawling around in the business field, and a few of them are real righteous gentlemen. ”

Zhu Jinlun said: "Well, there is not one in front of you, big brother, you are not a real upright gentleman." ”

Zhu Jintang saw that he suddenly mentioned himself, shook his head a little helplessly, and continued to get back to the topic: "; The granary matter, after all, is our negligence. I lost food in vain, and I caused those tenants to suffer with me, so this year I deliberately exempted some land rent, which was regarded as buying people's hearts. ”

Zhu Jinlun hurriedly said when he heard this: "The eldest brother is really a gentleman's style, with a benevolent and righteous owner like you, those tenants on the Zhuangzi will be blessed." ”

Zhu Jintang said: "Croppers earn hard money, and all year round, they guard that acre and three points of land, hoping for a good harvest. Although the grain in the granary is ours, it is also their hard work for a year, and it is really unbearable to be wasted. The Wang family's incident, to put it mildly, was just because of four words - because of the small loss of the big. I have already learned a lesson, and the left is only a few taels of silver, which is insignificant to us, but for them, it is a good thing worth thanking. ”

Zhu Jinlun saw that he was right, so he didn't object: "Since the eldest brother has already decided, let's do it according to the eldest brother's wishes." ”

Zhu Jinlun said so, but he didn't think so in his heart. In fact, the fire in the granary was all Zhu Rong's fault. Although he admitted his mistake and spit out the silver to return it, he could not escape his responsibility after all. If it weren't for Zhu Rong's more than ten years of hard work in the Zhu family, he would open the net.

However, Zhu Jinlun has always complained about this, think about it carefully, if this matter is not Zhu Jintang's doing, but his doing, then what will the family say? How? It is estimated that it will not just lose some money and be done......

That's the difference between them.

Because he is the future head of the family, he will always be a high posture. Even if you make a mistake, you can be justified in this way.

Zhu Jinlun sighed secretly, poured himself a glass of wine again, slowly raised the glass and said, "Big brother, I respect you for this glass of wine." ”

Zhu Jintang saw that he suddenly got up, and he also raised his glass and echoed: "Okay." Let's have another drink. ”

Zhu Jinlun smiled slightly, while raising his head and drinking the wine in the cup, he looked at Zhu Jintang with his residual vision, and said secretly in his heart: Father and mother, what they want is the position of the long house, the respect of the long house, but what he wants in his heart is a fair opportunity to compete with Zhu Jintang in a dignified manner.

The wine was almost drunk. Zhu Jinlun paid attention to the dishes on the table again, he liked the crispy meat very much, and ate one piece after another, only to feel that the meat was delicious, and his lips and teeth were fragrant, and he couldn't help but praise: "Well, but then again, this chef's skills are really good, and they are compared with the chef Xiao in Yipinlou." It's a pity that such a good talent just deigns to be in a small kitchen...... I can guarantee that if this Wu Ma is willing to come forward and open a small shop, the business will definitely be prosperous. ”

When Zhu Jintang heard this, he slowly put down his chopsticks and said, "Mother Wu is a person of some age, and besides, she has been serving your sister-in-law since she was a child, how can she still have that thought." Second brother, although you love to eat, you won't want to come to my side to dig people, right? ”

Zhu Jinlun looked up at how many days he had stayed, then put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "A gentleman does not take away the beauty of people." Besides, I'm just joking. ”

When Zhu Jintang heard this, he glanced at him meaningfully, and said lightly: "Yes, the second brother is a smart person, and he will never be difficult for others." ”

Zhu Jinlun smiled: "Big brother is right, I only like to outwit, I don't like to rob by force." ”

Zhu Jintang said: "Nowadays, the atmosphere at home is a little tense, but we are a family in the end, everything is easy to discuss, don't spoil the harmony." ”

"Big brother, don't worry, the recent rumors are just a lot of people's mouths. This home, how it was in the past, how it will be in the future, nothing will change. ”

Zhu Nylon said lightly.

But at this time, the two people already knew each other in their hearts, and they also read different meanings from each other's eyes.

Since they are relatives, even if they want to fight for something or grab something, they must use knives and guns to make a miasma.

Zhu Jintang and Zhu Jinlun, although they are cousins, are more similar than brothers in some aspects, one is stronger, and the other will be even stronger.

The two of them have been compared together since they were children, and Zhu Jintang always has a slight upper hand, and he has the advantage of a long house.

Zhu Jintang knows very well that for so many years, Zhu Jinlun has always held back a momentum in his heart not to admit defeat, and he can't hide such ambitious eyes if he wants to.

Men are inherently ambitious.

Although Zhu Jinlun usually looks a little cynical and loves to enjoy, his mind and talent are by no means idle.

However, if he wants to compete, Zhu Jintang is willing to accompany him at any time. When he was seven years old, his father Zhu Feng told him seriously that the family rules must not be broken, and the long house must not fall.

This is his responsibility and his life.

……

The moonlight is hazy and the fragrance of flowers hits people.

Shen Yuechen has been playing with Brother Ming and Zhu Ying and Zhu Xiao in the west, and the scene is very lively.

The three children play together every day, eat and sleep together, and their relationship is much better.

Moreover, Shen Yuechen also found that Brother Ming did not dislike Zhu Ying and Zhu Xiao everywhere as before, but liked to be close to them, just like brothers and sisters.

Brother Ming is a big ghost, although he is inconvenient, but he has a clever mouth, and he often coaxes everyone to laugh and is loved by everyone.

Ever since, since the last time Brother Ming cried in front of the old man and the old lady, the old lady and Li Shi completely broke off the idea of taking him back.

Shen Yuechen will be able to live with Brother Ming with peace of mind, and she will no longer have to worry about being on the side.

Wu Ma and Cui Xin sat on the side doing embroidery, occasionally looking up, smiling silently.

Wu's mother was secretly happy in her heart, but she felt that there seemed to be real hope for this day. In the past, I was afraid to guard against it, and I didn't have to worry about it anymore.

Zhu Ying and her sister played for a while, and then she saw sweat on her forehead, and hurriedly trotted to Chunming, and said softly: "Sister Chunming, I'm hot and want to drink cool sour plum soup." ”

Chun Ming hurriedly squatted down to wipe her sweat, and said with a smile: "Miss, sour plum soup is something that is only drunk in summer, and it will not be able to be drunk." ”

Zhu Ying was a little disappointed when she heard this, opened her small hand to hold her slender waist, and begged: "I want to drink, I want to drink." ”

Chun Ming was a little embarrassed, looked up at Shen Yuechen, and only heard her say lightly: "If there is no sour plum, let's go and put a bowl of rock sugar lotus seeds." She also likes to eat. ”

When Chun Ming heard this, she hurriedly responded, took Zhu Ying's little hand, and said, "Miss come with the slave maid, and the slave maid will make you rock sugar lotus seeds to eat." ”

Seeing this, Zhu Ying immediately jumped and followed.

Shen Yuechen looked at her back, smiled slightly, and happened to be seen by Brother Ming, he suddenly stuffed the rattle in his hand to Zhu Xiao, and then, crawled to the side of the bed and stood up, winked at her, and said, "In a while, take me out for a walk." ”

Shen Yuechen glanced at him and said gently: "It's cold at night, you can't go out." ”

Brother Ming then whispered: "I have something to say to you, it's inconvenient here." ”

Shen Yuechen listened, thought about it for a while, and had no choice but to hold him in his arms, and then, deliberately walked around the house, then looked at Wu's mother and said, "I'll take Brother Ming to the yard for a walk, and you can stay down and take care of Xiao'er." ”

Mother Wu got up and said, "Can Miss do it alone?" ”

Brother Ming grows up very fast, chubby, and it is not easy to pick up.

Shen Yuechen said lightly: "It's just a walk in the yard, and I'll come back after a while." ”

When Wu's mother heard this, she didn't insist, thinking that it was only a few steps away, and she just went with the rumor.

Shen Yuechen struggled to carry Brother Ming to the unmanned yard, followed him on the ground, and said a little breathlessly: "You, you have really gained a lot of weight, I am about to lose your arms." ”

Brother Ming pouted disapprenously: "Really, I'm also not happy to let you hold it, isn't there no way!" After speaking, he looked down at his little short legs again, shook his head secretly, and said: Really, there is still a long time to endure!

Shen Yuechen nodded the tip of his nose and said softly, "What do you have to say?" ”

When Brother Ming heard this, he first looked around vigilantly, then leaned into her ear and whispered, "I want to go out and have a look, can you find a chance to take me around?" ”

Shen Yuechen frowned after hearing this: "Nonsense! How can you go out with a little child? ”

Brother Ming was a little anxious, "I said it all, don't always call me childish." I've been suffocated in this yard all day, and besides, I've been here for so long, and I've never had a chance to see what the outside world is like. I'm curious to death? ”

Shen Yuechen still shook his head: "No, this matter can't work, you are still too young, I can't take you out, and besides, the elders won't agree." ”

Brother Ming clasped his hands to his chest, put on a negotiating posture, and said, "You are not righteous yet!" Before, I cried and made trouble to help you, and I lost all the face of my two lives, and you didn't want to repay me? ”

Shen Yuechen saw that his attitude changed sharply, but he still didn't follow: "Some things can be discussed, and some things can't." If you want to go out, it's just not negotiable. ”

"It's not interesting enough, it's thanks to me for you, acting so hard." Brother Ming looked unwilling.

Shen Yuechen said softly: "When you grow up, you can go wherever you want, no one can stop you, no one dares to stop you." But for now, you have to listen to me! ”

The two of them were whispering and talking, when they suddenly heard a movement in the main room, and when they looked up, they saw that Zhu Jinlun was coming out of the house and walking down the steps, but there was no one behind him.

Shen Yuechen hurriedly made a silent gesture with Brother Ming, and then, holding him in his arms again, walked over with a slight smile, and greeted, "Second brother." ”

Zhu Jinlun turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw her standing not far away with Brother Ming in his arms, and said heartily: "Oh? Isn't this Brother Ming? With that, he stretched out his hands to hug him.

It's a pity that Brother Ming is not in a good mood, so he doesn't bother to be polite to him, so he just twists his face and looks away.

Zhu Jinlun smiled and withdrew his hand.

Shen Yuechen hurriedly said: "This kid is a little sleepy, so he doesn't like to pay attention to people." ”

"It's okay, it's okay. Today, my eldest brother and I had a great drink, and the food and drinks were well prepared. Zhu Jinlun gave a thumbs up while saying: "Sister-in-law's cook, the craftsmanship is really exquisite, and it is very delicious." I've always loved food, but if I'm hungry in the future, can I bother again? ”

Shen Yuechen said with a smile: "I don't dislike the second brother." If you want to eat anything in the future, just send someone to let me know, and I will order someone to send it to you. ”

When Zhu Jinlun heard this, he smiled faintly: "Well, with the words of my sister-in-law, I'm not welcome, and I will inevitably trouble you in the future." ”
