Last time, the granary outside the Zhu family had a fire, which had already hurt the Zhu family's vitality, and in addition, the city would be full of black market rice with sky-high prices, and the Zhu family spent a lot of effort and effort in order to bring the price down, and of course lost a lot of silver.

Now, the imperial court is about to start fighting again, the conscription order has come down, and it is estimated that the requisition of grain is about to come out. Zhu Jintang had to prepare in advance.

The Zhu family has a prominent reputation in the Texas area, and now it has become a family of relatives of the noble concubine Niangniang, the more times like this, the more you have to show your attitude, otherwise, you will lose the face of the Zhu family and the face of the mother.

The Jia family wants the position of the richest man in Texas, but Zhu Jintang does not plan to be "adult beauty", and wholeheartedly wants to keep the Zhu family's reputation and status in Texas.

Shen Yuechen knew the ambitions of the Jia family, and Zhu Jintang had no choice but to say something, but her mouth moved, and she couldn't speak, she just lowered her head, looked at her stomach, and said silently in her heart: This is their first child.

Zhu Jintang looked at Shen Yuechen's face, and when he saw her silent, he couldn't bear it, but he knew that he had to go this time, and he couldn't delay it any longer.

Shen Yuechen had been silent and didn't speak, and when she saw Zhu Jintang looking at her with burning eyes, she couldn't help biting her lip, and then she lay down again, deliberately turning her back and facing the bed,

Staring at the opposite wall, I was stunned, and when I stared, I felt that my eye sockets were sour.

She was angry in her heart, but more aggrieved and uncomfortable. This kid didn't come easily, how could he be willing to leave like this? How can it be?

Zhu Jintang saw that she was sullen and seemed to be angry, so he had to follow her, lay down on his elbow beside her, and sighed: "I can't stand you this time." The big picture is important, I can't help but go! ”

The big picture counts...... When Shen Yuechen heard these four words, she couldn't suppress the endless stream of grievances in her heart, she turned to look back at him, with a faint mist in her eyes, and only said: "The affairs of the Zhu family are all major matters, so the affairs of me and the children are not major matters?" Uncle, how long have we been looking forward to this child? How could you be willing to just leave? Up and down the Zhu family, some are smart people who do things neatly, why do you have to go there in person? ”

She never asks for extravagance, let Zhu Jintang put her first in everything, but the matter of giving birth to a child is definitely not a trivial matter, and she also needs him......

Because of the second lady Chai, Shen Yuechen occasionally inadvertently becomes a little troubled and has some gains and losses, so when she is fragile and needs Zhu Jintang by her side, he doesn't have to do anything, as long as she can be quietly by her side, she feels content and at ease.

Shen Yuechen's series of questions made Zhu Jintang frown slightly unconsciously.

There are all kinds of emotions in the eyes, there are nostalgia, depression, disbelief, and more incomprehension. Those sheared eyes seemed to keep asking him why he had to do this...

It was the first time she had lost her temper with herself like this, her eyes were full of different emotions, helplessness, depression, and incredible irritability, but more of them were wronged. She just raised her eyes to look at him like that, with a somewhat stubborn posture, as if she was questioning him with her eyes, why, why?

Zhu Jintang didn't expect that she would be so angry and caring.

She has always been gentle and sensible, but today, it seems that she is making it too difficult for her.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jintang's eyes were thick, and he lowered his handsome face to approach her, gently put one hand on her lower abdomen, and said in a slight mutter: "I am willing to leave you like this, but I am the eldest son, and it is my responsibility to protect the reputation and status of the Zhu family." ”

Shen Yuechen snorted in his nose, and said like a cry: "Uncle, can't you not leave?" Can't you let someone else do it for you? ”

Her tears silently ran down her cheeks, and she slashed through his heart like sharp blades.

Zhu Jintang's heart was suffocated, and he suddenly became a little hurried, and hurriedly kissed her forehead, and the corners of her eyes seemed to be soothing...... However, his soothing kiss did not make Shen Yuechen stop crying, but made her tears flow more fiercely.

Zhu Jintang closed his eyes, couldn't bear to see her crying, the corners of his lips pressed lightly on her forehead, and sighed: "If I can hand it over to someone else, I don't have to make people sad like this." I don't feel comfortable handing it over to others, and I can't hand it over to others. ”

Zhu Jinlun is about to get married, and even if he gets married, this matter cannot be handed over to him to do, and his attitude towards the Jia family makes people feel not at ease. Therefore, Zhu Jintang had no hope for him.

Father Zhu Feng and second uncle Zhu Jun are both people of some age, and it is not suitable to go out for a long journey.

As for those people under him, although they are neat, they are too careful in the end, and it is easy to delay big things.

Zhu Jintang thought about it, and only by going over in person was he the most sure, and by the way, he could see how the harvest had been in the past few years, so that he could make the next step.

Shen Yuechen knew that he couldn't convince him, and he couldn't keep him, so he couldn't help biting his lip, dodging his kiss, and continued to face the bed, and said in a sad tone: "In this case, the concubine has nothing to say, the uncle will leave if he wants to go, and the concubine wishes you a smooth journey, safe and ......."

When Zhu Jintang heard this, he sighed again, and before she finished speaking, he raised his hand and gently pulled her face, and then wrapped his other hand around her waist, as if he was a little forced, and let her close to his arms, and said in a helpless tone: "Don't be like this, I want you to promise that you must go early and return early, and you must come back before the child is born, accompany you, and guard your ......."

This is the most infatuated thing he has ever said in his life.

Shen Yuechen had tears on her face and looked at him quietly, feeling really painful and angry in her heart. She didn't want any assurances from him, she wanted him as a person.

Zhu Jintang held her hand and whispered in her ear: "I will go early and return early, not for others, but for you." Wait for me, you know? Wait for me well, wait for me well with the child. ”

Shen Yuechen leaned on his chest and silently wiped away his tears.

Of course she had to wait for him, whether it was a day, a day, a day, a month, a month, or even longer.

In the face of parting, both of them could not calm down for a long time.

It was late at night, Shen Yuechen still couldn't fall asleep, and the sourness in her heart still hadn't dissipated, but she had a feeling of heaviness in her family.

Shen Yuechen has already tasted insomnia......

She turned over lightly and looked at Zhu Jintang beside her, who seemed to be asleep.

Shen Yuechen looked at his sleeping face, and couldn't help but think about it in his mind.

In the past half a year, Zhu Jinlun has come back to accompany her almost every day and sleep with her in the same bed, except for occasionally staying in the study due to busy affairs.

Time is a terrible thing, and it can easily change a person's habits. The days passed day by day, and her habits gradually changed, most of which were about Zhu Jintang.

In the past, Shen Yuechen felt very light, always very sensitive to the people and things around him, and would wake up at the slightest movement. But now, with Zhu Jintang by her side, she sleeps almost every night until dawn, and she sleeps peacefully and steadily.

As a human being in two lives, Shen Yuechen has been restraining and controlling himself well, don't trust others easily, and don't rely on others easily. However, now, the deeper she is involved with the Zhu family, she can't help but rely on Zhu Jintang.

He's a guy to rely on and someone to rely on. Shen Yuechen used to be silently happy and grateful for his good luck.

If there had been a different person, then perhaps everything she had today would no longer exist.

Shen Yuechen's gaze slowly descended and fell on his solid shoulders, his shoulders were broad and thick, but there were too many things on it......

She leaned over cautiously, quietly feeling his breath, his body temperature, and she curled up slightly, like a kitten afraid of cold and greedy for warmth.

Zhu Jintang was not asleep, and when he felt the people around him approaching, he stretched out his long arm and gently stopped her in his arms.

Neither of them spoke again, just quietly enjoying the peace and intimacy of this moment.

……

Regarding his trip, the first person Zhu Jintang told was Shen Yuechen, because he couldn't rest assured of her in his heart.

That morning, Zhu Jintang took advantage of the effort to ask for peace and told the elders in the family about the matter. He deliberately went over alone, without bringing Shen Yuechen, she didn't sleep well last night, and her eyes were still a little red.

Zhu Feng obviously knew his son's decision, and there was no surprise on his face. And the old man is still half-asleep.

When the old lady heard this, she frowned and said, "Why are you in such a hurry?" Does your daughter-in-law know? ”

Zhu Jintang nodded: "Sun Er has already told her." ”

The old lady hurriedly said, "What did your daughter-in-law say?" ”

Shen Yuechen is pregnant now, and she must be reluctant in her heart.

Zhu Jintang lowered his head and said, "Yuechen has always been docile and sensible, so she naturally supports me." ”

The old lady couldn't help but sigh when she heard this: "She said she supported it, but she didn't know how uncomfortable she was in her heart." Jintang, your trip is not short. ”

Zhu Jintang muttered: "This is no way, this trip to my grandson must go." ”

The old lady also knew that he was uncomfortable, so she said: "Jintang, for this family, you have suffered a lot of sins and sufferings, and grandma is very grateful to you." ”

When Zhu Jintang heard this, he only said: "Grandmother, don't say that, my grandson is the eldest grandson of the long house, and I should do my best for the family and the family." ”

Hearing this, Old Man Zhu slowly opened his eyes and looked at Zhu Jintang twice, then smiled contentedly, and continued to close his eyes and doze off.
