Chapter 364: A dilemma
After Xiao Tao and Zhu Qingyue were fine, they breathed a sigh of relief from the top and bottom of the second room.
The same is true for the Chai family, only to feel that the big stone in his heart that has been pressing down has finally fallen steadily. Needless to say, just for her son Nylon, she also had to go to the Buddha to worship a few times, put on more incense, add more lamp oil money, and make more merits.
It's only been three or five days, Zhu Jinlun has lost a lot of weight, frowning every day, not thinking about tea, and his whole face is sunken.
Chai Shi looked distressed, said it, persuaded it, but he just couldn't hear it. This will make Xiao Tao wake up, the child will be fine, and the son will finally come back to his senses.
It's just that the people of the He family are almost here. In the past, the in-laws and now the enemies, no one wants to see such a situation.
As a mother-in-law, Chai inevitably has to deal with them for a week, she is too lazy to deal with that heart, and she doesn't want to do such troublesome things, I really hope that there is a smart person around her to help her solve these problems.
At this time, Zhu Jun sat here, casually talking about the wind and cold, Chai knew that he couldn't point to him in the affairs of the inner house...... After some thought, Chai had no choice but to find the old lady.
However, the old lady didn't care about her distress, and she didn't want to care.
"Before, Yuechen from the long room inadvertently asked about the matter in your yard, but you came to me angrily and complained for a long time, and now, there is something going on in the second room, you want someone to help you, but where can I find someone to come out. Your sister-in-law is not here, so it is difficult for me, an old bone, to come forward and listen to the cold words of the He family. ”
The old lady's tone was slightly displeased, but her expression was still gentle.
She knew that she was reluctant to come forward to do such a thing because of the difficulties of the Chai family, but who in the Zhu family would be willing?
Chai Shi said in a somewhat coquettish tone: "Ancestor, you should love your daughter-in-law more." The eldest brother and sister-in-law didn't come back on time for a long time, and the second master had a big heart and didn't care about the things in the yard. I don't even have anyone to talk to, so ......"
When she said this, she deliberately stopped talking and put on a aggrieved look.
Sure enough, when the old lady saw this, she softened her heart and said, "The people of the He family are not some kind of flood beasts, why are you so worried?" He Yalin did such an ugly thing, and it should be our Zhu family who wants to be angry and threatening, what qualifications do they have to come here to command...... Okay, you go back and take good care of the nylon first, wait for them to come, see the situation, and then say, everything has me. ”
Zhu Feng and Li Shi were delayed on the road for a long time, and they were about to come back, but Zhu Feng met an old friend for many years halfway and was invited to come to the door as a guest, so he had to bring a letter back, saying that it would be a few days later.
After hearing this, the old lady called Shen Yuechen to her, and said helplessly: "They are all old people, and their hearts are still so wild......
Shen Yuechen smiled slightly: "A chance encounter on the way is also a kind of fate, maybe they have a fate with that old man." ”
"Your belly is sinking day by day and needs someone to take care of it."
"There are enough people in the yard who take care of me, don't worry, ancestor."
The old lady nodded: "Now, there are fewer people in your yard, and it is a lot cleaner, which is the most suitable for raising a baby with peace of mind." ”
Shen Yuechen's eyes flashed slightly, and she looked down at the delicate tea bowl in her hand, and did not reply immediately.
She knew that the old lady had a small pimple in her heart.
In ancient times, it was common for men to have three wives and four concubines, but now, she is the only one left by Zhu Jintang's side.
This is naturally a good thing for Shen Yuechen, but for the Zhu family and Zhu Jintang, it may not be a long-term solution.
"Old Ancestor, don't you have anything to say to Yuechen?"
Shen Yuechen saw that her gaze had been stopping at her body as if she were nothing, and thought to herself, she must have something to say.
The old lady pondered slightly for a moment before saying, "Seeing that Jintang loves you so much, in fact, we are also very comforted in our hearts." You gave birth to Brother Xuan for the Zhu family, and now you are pregnant with a second one, which is indeed a good thing for Jintang. The heirs of the long house have always been thin, and thanks to you, good things can come in pairs. It's your credit and what pleases me the most. It stands to reason that the Cao family and the others are all self-inflicted, and it is right to send them out. It's just that in this way, you are the only one by Jintang's side...... You also know that you are inconvenient now and can't serve Jintang, so you should pay more attention to the people around you in a timely manner to see if there is a suitable one? ”
The old lady's tone was very gentle, and the meaning in her words was nothing more than wanting her to find a new person for Zhu Jintang.
Shen Yuechen still lowered her eyes slightly, making it impossible to read the emotions in her eyes, and only asked softly, "Is there any suitable candidate in the heart of the old ancestor?" ”
She answered the question with a question, just to find out what the old lady's real plan was. Is it a kind reminder, or be prepared.
"I don't have a choice, I just want to tell you. You have always been a sensible child, and many things, you don't need to say much, just a little bit. ”
When Shen Yuechen heard this, she suddenly felt the bottom of her heart.
She knew that the old lady had no ill intentions when she brought it up. It's just that purely out of their own considerations and deep-rooted feudal ideas.
"Ancestor, your advice to Yuechen has been recorded. Please rest assured, Yuechen is grateful for the uncle's sincerity, he is kind to Yuechen, and will always remind Yuechen not to forget his duty as a wife. As long as the uncle likes it, Yuechen will gladly agree, as long as he likes it. ”
When the old lady heard this, she nodded with satisfaction: "It's naturally best if you can think like this." Child, I am also from the past, and men are men. Sometimes they can control their hearts, but they may not be able to control their own people. ”
She was also young and knew the feeling of being alone, however, she had also experienced the years of aging, and she also knew the feeling of being disliked and disliked.
People are old and yellow, and people are old and decrepit, which is the inevitable fate of every woman.
The old lady didn't believe that Sun Zi Jintang had true feelings for Shen Yuechen, but she believed in the sharpness and indifference of the years.
Regardless of whether Shen Yuechen's answer was sincere or perfunctory, the old lady had no intention of pursuing it, this would not be the time to be more serious, they were still young, and the days to come were still long.
After Shen Yuechen came back from the upper room, she had been half-lying on the bed, quietly waiting for Zhu Jintang to come back.
Cui Xin thought she was asleep, so she came over to cover her lightly, but found that she was looking at the top of the bed, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Why did Miss wake up?" ”
Shen Yuechen said lightly: "It's not that I'm awake, but I haven't slept all the time." ”
When Cui Xin heard this, she only put the thin quilt on her stomach, and then moved the embroidery pier to sit down on the edge of her bed. "Miss has something on your mind?"
Shen Yuechen didn't nod or shake her head, just listened to her continue: "Mother Wu said that she would cook a lot of delicious food tonight. ”
When Shen Yuechen heard this, she turned her head slightly, looked at her longing face, pursed the corners of her mouth and smiled: "It's all big girls, but as soon as you mention food, you start to be delicious." ”
Cui Xin stuck out her tongue embarrassedly: "The slave has no interest, she has been greedy since she was a child, thanks to the care of the young lady, she can live a good life now, and there is delicious food every day." ”
Shen Yuechen said with a smile: "Xu is so delicious that I have eaten a lot, and even my mouth has become sweeter." ”
Cui Xin said with a smile: "As Mother Wu said, Miss is the hardest time now, let the slaves and maids say more nice things when they usually serve, make you happy and relieve your boredom." Yesterday, the slave and maid also learned a few jokes on purpose, and wanted to tell them to the young lady...... But the slave is very stupid, and I'm afraid that I can't say it well......"
"It's okay, you say, I'm trying to hear a joke right now."
Cui Xin hesitated for a moment before speaking.
What she said was all old jokes, although it was not new, but it still made Shen Yuechen laugh.
Coincidentally, Zhu Jintang came back from outside and heard the laughter in the room, and couldn't help but feel moved.
He hadn't heard her laugh like that in days.
I thought that the children were all in the house, but when I walked in, there were only two people, Shen Yuechen and Cuixin, and Cuixin was sitting on the edge of the bed, gesturing and saying something, which made Shen Yuechen laugh again and again.
"What do you two say? Talking so hilarious? ”
Hearing this, Cui Xin hurriedly stopped talking, turned around and saluted Zhu Jintang, his tone was not as fluent as Fang Cai, but stammered a little: "Give ...... Greetings to the uncle......"
Shen Yuechen was amused by her tone again, sat up slightly straight, and said, "Uncle came back so early, Cui Xin was telling me a joke just now." ”
Zhu Jintang bypassed Cuixin, sat directly on the edge of the bed, and said, "Really?" Then go on, and let me listen to it too. ”
Cui Xin stood with her head bowed, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she was a little embarrassed: "Slave maid...... The slave and maid did not speak well. ”
"I think she's speaking well, and it's not easy to amuse you."
Shen Yuechen glanced at Zhu Jintang with a smile, then looked at Cui Xin again, and ordered, "Go and bring tea to the uncle." ”
Cui Xin breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and hurriedly retreated.
When Zhu Jintang saw her leaving, he only looked at Shen Yuechen and said, "She's gone, who will tell you a joke?" Otherwise, I'll give it a try. ”
Shen Yuechen leaned her head lightly on his shoulder, and said softly: "No need, the concubine is already happy enough today." ”
"Oh? What's not to be like? ”
Shen Yuechen thought for a while and said, "Although there is nothing good, there is nothing bad either. ”
Zhu Jintang smiled, the tip of his nose inadvertently smelled a faint scent of sandalwood, and asked casually, "Have you just been to the upper room?" ”
Ever since she became pregnant, there had been no spices in the room, only flowers and fruits.
Shen Yuechen smiled: "Uncle's nose is really smart!" ”
"Did Grandmother reward you again? So, guess so happy. ”
Shen Yuechen shook his head, reached out to hold his broad palm, and said half-jokingly: "No, there is no reward, just talk to me." ”
Zhu Jintang didn't want to ask more, but just answered casually: "What did you say?" ”
Shen Yuechen's eyes were slightly condensed, and she said softly: "It's nothing, it's just some trivial things that don't matter." ”
