With the help of the wine gall, Shen Yuechen not only complained that he was stingy, but also stretched out his little hand to take the wine jug and filled the wine glass himself.

Zhu Jintang's eyes flashed, he looked at Shen Yuechen, then at the overflowing wine glass, and covered the mouth of the cup with his palm, "Don't drink it." Drink too much and have a headache tomorrow morning. ”

The taste of a hangover is not pleasant, and her body is thin, and she will feel much more difficult.

Where is Shen Yuechen willing to follow, she usually looks docile, but in fact she is very stubborn in her bones, she will be drunk again, her words and deeds are becoming more and more bold, while wrapping Zhu Jintang's hand, she went to take the cup on the table, not only drank all the wine, but also raised the bottom of the cup to show him, and the corners of her lips were lazy and proud.

Zhu Jintang's eyes were slightly hot, and he was not ready to let her continue to make trouble, so he directly pulled her up from the seat.

Shen Yuechen staggered to his feet, his mind was full of paste, his mouth was full of the aroma of wine, he slowly stretched out a finger, lightly tapped it on the tip of Zhu Jintang's nose, and begged softly: "One more drink, the last one." ”

Zhu Jintang held her shoulder with one hand, protected her waist with the other, and said, "Don't make trouble, stand up." ”

Shen Yuechen was strong in wine, and he was confused by the effect of the wine, and lost his usual calmness and reserve. In a daze, he only leaned on Zhu Jintang's body with all the weight of his body.

He was a head taller than her, standing there straight, like a big tree with body temperature, and he simply reached out and circled it without thinking.

She lowered her head, her cheek against his chest, listened to the pounding heartbeat inside, and muttered to herself, "One, two, three......"

This sudden move made Zhu Jintang's heart flash with a strange stimulation that he had never seen before, like a small pebble falling into the water with a "bang", causing a circle of ripples, and then disappeared again. It came suddenly, and it went quickly.

"What are you counting?" Zhu Jintang's deep voice sounded in his ears.

Shen Yuechen looked up at him, showed a shallow smile, and said, "Heartbeat, your heartbeat." ”

A complicated look flashed on Zhu Jintang's rigid face, and his originally deep eyes gradually poured out a touch of warmth.

Shen Yuechen stared blankly at the handsome face in front of her, only to see that there was a certain emotion in his eyes that flashed like a star, but she didn't know what it was and what she was doing, she didn't have the strength to find out, she lowered her eyebrows and smiled lightly: "Don't move, let me hear it again." After speaking, the whole person snuggled up again, just listened quietly, but stopped making a sound.

Zhu Jintang protected her steadily, speechless for a long time, but the hand that had been wrapped around her slender waist was tighter and gentler.

Unexpectedly, just a few glasses of wine made her completely change as if she were a person......

Perhaps, she was originally like this, but she never did this to others, never to him. No matter how sensible and reasonable she is, once she loses the coat of pretentious posture, she is only a teenager after all, petite and fragile.

Zhu Jintang fell into a deep thought, and his head, which had always been organized, rarely felt a little messy and heavy.

Shen Yuechen closed his eyes and leaned on his body, slowly getting a little tired, just wanting to sleep, and his legs couldn't stand.

Zhu Jintang hurriedly picked her up, put her on the bed and lay down, and called the spring tea outside the door, and ordered: "Make a cup of sobering tea for the eldest grandmother, she is drunk." ”

Chun Ming was startled when she heard this, looked up at Shen Yuechen who was lying on the bed with a crimson face, and hurriedly trotted over to serve.

Zhu Jintang was about to go to the clean room to wash, Mingyue followed in, she had been waiting outside for a long time, and she was in a hurry.

Zhu Jintang was worried about the drunk Shen Yuechen, and just wanted to wash his face and sober up, seeing that Mingyue was busy pouring water into the bathtub, he hurriedly said: "You don't need to prepare water, I'll just wash my face." ”

When Mingyue heard this, she answered yes, brought a wooden basin over, and said, "The slave and maid are waiting for the uncle to wash his feet, the uncle has been busy for a day, just to relieve his fatigue." ”

Zhu Jintang's eyes kept looking at the door, and his tone was a little urging: "Then you move faster." ”

Mingyue didn't know what he was in a hurry about, so she hurriedly waited for him to scrub it clean, and prepared words for an afternoon, and she didn't have a chance to say half a sentence.

Zhu Jintang strode back to the inner room, only to see that Chun Ming was preparing to feed Shen Yuechen tea. He walked over, sat down on the edge of the bed, and took her over to sit down.

Shen Yuechen struggled slightly, and finally obediently did not move.

Chun Ming hurriedly scooped up a spoonful of warm tea with a spoon and slowly gave her a drink.

Shen Yuechen's brows were always slightly wrinkled, and after only two or three sips, he turned his head and buried his face in Zhu Jintang's arms.

Chun Ming made a mistake with the spoon, looked at Shen Yuechen, and then at Zhu Jintang, and didn't know what to do for a while.

Zhu Jintang sighed helplessly, only hugged Shen Yuechen to his chest, patted her on the back, didn't say anything more, only waved his hand, and motioned for Chun Ming to go out.

Chun Ming didn't want to disturb the purity of the young lady, so she hurriedly withdrew with the tea bowl, only to see that Mingyue was standing at the door and looking into the house, looking a little anxious.

Chun Ming didn't like her eyes, and said coldly: "The masters are all asleep, what should you do." ”

Mingyue glared at her: "Uncle hasn't been to the study yet, I'm going to stay here and wait, I don't need you to care." ”

Chun Ming snorted lightly: "It's said that you are asleep, what can you do if you stay here, is it possible, do you still want to stay in the corner of the wall to listen to the masters?" ”

Mingyue's face was stunned when she heard this, and she was just about to say the word "you", but she was robbed by Chun Ming again: "Forget it, I don't have time to quarrel with you, and I don't have the courage to mess with you. We're all minions, so you should be a little more restrained. ”

Chun Ming left angrily, Mingyue stood still, her face turned pale with anger, and she simply stayed outside the door as if she was angry, not believing that the uncle would really not come out. She has been with her uncle for many years, regardless of whether it is a New Year's festival or a red and white celebration, she has never seen the uncle, and one day she rests directly without looking at the big account book.

She stood alone in the courtyard, waiting for more than an hour, but she felt like she had been waiting all night.

By the time there was movement in the house, it was already the second watch.

Zhu Jintang came out in a long robe, and when he saw her standing outside the door, he was slightly surprised: "Is it your vigil today?" He hadn't slept just now, quietly guarding Shen Yuechen, and seeing her falling asleep like a cat, he didn't move, and only remembered that he was going to the study when she fell asleep.

Mingyue didn't explain much, just nodded, her legs were numb and sore, and she couldn't even bend her knees to ask for peace, but said, "Slave and maid, I'm going to carry a lantern for you." ”

Zhu Jintang waved his hand and said, "No need, there are illuminated lanterns along the way." A few of you stay in the yard and take care of the young grandmother, she is drunk, so she will sleep soundly, don't be alarmed. With that, he fastened his clothes, took two steps, and suddenly stopped.

Mingyue thought that he had something to order, so she hurriedly went up.

"You and Mingxin, how many years have you been in the courtyard?" Zhu Jintang asked lightly.

Mingyue was slightly stunned, and replied: "The slave came in two years earlier than Mingxin, and this year is already the fifth year. ”

Zhu Jintang's expression was faint, and he pondered for a moment and said: "After you mentioned this, I remembered that you are not young, and it is time for you to go out and get married." ”

When Mingyue heard this, her whole body immediately shivered, and she knelt on the ground tremblingly, and tears were about to burst out. "Uncle, slave maid...... The slave and maid don't want to get married, and the slave and maid want to serve the uncle for the rest of their lives. ”

Zhu Jintang didn't look back, his eyes sank: "Since you have been here for five years, you should be clear about the rules of the house." He left that sentence and hurried away.

Mingyue knelt on the ground and was so shocked that she followed at once,

Tears fell in a stream, and he couldn't take care of it for a while, so he grabbed Zhu Jintang's sleeve and begged: "Uncle, you are doing well, the slave and maid don't want to go, the slave and maid are willing to be cattle and horses for the rest of their lives, just ask the uncle not to drive me like this...... Today, it's all Mingxin, that girl doesn't know how to measure, and she has nothing to do with the slave maid......"

Zhu Jintang's dark eyes fell on his slightly wrinkled cuffs, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't let go quickly, don't wait for me to call someone over, pull and pull will embarrass you, and you won't even be worthy of a good person when you go out." ”

Mingyue knew his temper, and knew that if she continued to entangle, not only would she not be able to get benefits, but would provoke her even more anger. I had to let go of my hand immediately, bit my lip tightly, looked at his distant back, and didn't dare to chase anymore, only clenched the hand in my sleeve into a fist, and pierced my nails into my palms, only piercing the skin and flesh, and bleeding out.

Mingyue never thought that the eldest young master would send her out so easily, kneeling on the ground with tears on her face, sobbing and choking, and she didn't dare to cry out loud, for fear of provoking the jokes of others coming to see her again.
