Chapter 42: Reflections (4)

Xu Yes, because I came too early, no one came over from the upper room, and there was no movement from the second room.

Shen Yuechen accompanied the old lady to drink tea alone, secretly paying attention to the movement at the door, although there was nothing unusual in her expression, but her heart was pounding all the time.

When Mrs. Zhu first got up, she heard the news from Yang's mother, saying that Zhu Jintang suddenly went to the study in the middle of the night to rest.

On the second night of the wedding, the newlyweds were left alone in the empty room, which was not what should happen to Zhu Jintang. He has been anxious about his heirs in his heart, which is a well-known thing in the Zhu family. According to the thoughts in his own heart, he can't let Shen Yuechen hold two in three years and give birth to a noble son in a row.

After a while, Zhu Feng and Zhu Jun came to the main house to say goodbye, as well as Zhu Yuanxi and Zhu Yuanyue, who had not yet married.

Old man Zhu has a total of twelve daughters under his knees, and the eldest daughter Zhu Yuanlan is the best married one among them.

The daughters of Old Man Zhu are only Zhu Yuanlan and Zhu Yuanyin, and the others are all born to their aunts. Today, the only girls in the Zhu family who have not yet married are Zhu Yuanxi and Zhu Yuanyue, the two youngest girls. The age of the two of them looks similar to Shen Yuechen, and they are dressed beautifully and very eye-catching.

The Zhu family is really a wealthy family, although it is only a concubine, the jewelry on Zhu Yuanxi and Zhu Yuanyue can be exchanged for two hundred acres of fertile land.

Seeing that everyone is about to arrive, there are only two brothers Zhu Jintang and Zhu Jinlun.

Shen Yuechen secretly began to be a little anxious, and just when her mood was extremely uneasy, the little maid's crisp voice came from outside the door and said, "The eldest young master, the second young master has arrived." ”

Zhu Jintang and Zhu Nylon walked side by side, but Zhu Jintang was taller and had bigger steps, so he was the first to enter the door.

By this time, it was already dawn and the sun was shining inside the house.

Zhu Jintang raised his head slightly, the sun shone from above his head, and his deep facial features were plated with a faint gold, a proud and noble color, which matched him. That unsmiling face is like a knife and an axe, and there is a cold aura that rejects people thousands of miles away, which makes people daunting.

And behind him, Zhu Jinlun's handsome face, but always with a touch of wind and clouds smiled lightly, his black eyes are introverted and gentle, his eyebrows and eyes are slightly similar to Zhu Jintang, but they are not similar, I have to say that the two brothers have inherited the excellent genes of their fathers, both of them are handsome and extraordinary, handsome in appearance, but different from the cousin who gives people a cold and arrogant feeling, Zhu Jinlun's body has a little more chic bearing that a young man should have. Although he is not the eldest son of the long house, he is also excellent, and he wants to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Zhu family.

Shen Yuechen took a deep breath, looked at Zhu Jintang, got up and saluted, "To the uncle, the second master, please be safe." ”

Zhu Jintang's gaze flickered over her body and did not stop for a moment. On the contrary, Zhu Jinlun stepped forward politely, arched his hand and said, "Sister-in-law is good." ”

The two brothers saluted the elders one by one, and Mrs. Zhu accepted it with a smile, and then ordered the people to prepare a meal.

The men ate outside, served by the maids, while the ladies ate with the old lady.

As the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Zhu family, Shen Yuechen will not have to stand up to serve the elders, she can sit down and eat quietly.

Chun Ming stood behind her and prepared vegetables for her, because she was already very clear about her dietary preferences, so she specially picked out some light vegetarian dishes for her.

The Chai family beside her was clear-eyed and careful, paying close attention to Shen Yuechen's every move, and seeing that she only ate vegetarian food, she couldn't help but smile and said: "This donkey meat steamed dumpling is good today, Yuechen, you can also taste it." ”

When Shen Yuechen heard this, she responded with a smile.

As the saying goes, dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat in the ground. Donkey meat is delicious, and it is the favorite of many people, but on the contrary, Shen Yuechen's least favorite thing to eat is donkey meat.

As soon as she took a bite of the dough, a stream of greasy soup instantly poured into her mouth, she lowered her eyelashes, forcibly suppressed the discomfort in her heart, and pretended to eat the steamed dumplings one by one.

The Shen family's diet is heavy and greasy, and there must be fish and meat for a meal, while the Zhu family's selection of food is more refined, whether it is chicken or fish, or game and seafood, only the essence of each part is eaten.

Before, Wu's mother also quietly told her that the descendants of the Zhu family had to use ten chickens each time to cook chicken soup.

Such a fine diet makes the Zhu family's tastes extremely picky. Somehow, he suddenly remembered that last night, Zhu Jintang's acquiescence to Wu's mother's craftsmanship made Shen Yuechen's heart slightly in a trance, and he couldn't help but think of Zhu Jintang outside again.

He didn't even look at her just now, so he was probably still angry......

After breakfast, Mrs. Zhu mentioned the matter of returning to the door to the Li family.

When a woman gets married, she returns to the door in three dynasties, which is a traditional etiquette that the two families attach great importance to, and it is also a major event that the bride's family attaches great importance to.

Tomorrow is the day when Shen Yuechen returns to the door. For this reason, Li Shi had already made arrangements and prepared a return gift in advance. There are many shops under the Zhu family, and they can choose a few to send over, which are extremely decent.

Old Madam Zhu looked at Zhu Jintang and Shen Yuechen, and wanted to ask them what plans and arrangements the two of them had.

Shen Yuechen lowered her eyelashes, shook her head slightly, and only listened to the arrangements of the elders, with a soft face and a supple face.

Zhu Jintang saw her sitting there quietly, and nodded her head in response to what her mother said, with a pair of bright eyes, exceptionally clear, as if her heart really had no desires and no desires.

In the middle of last night, he deliberately went to the study to rest, leaving her alone. originally thought that she would panic, and immediately sent someone over to ask for a call...... Who knows, she was calm and didn't move all night, and she didn't forget to come over on time in the morning to say goodbye, as if nothing had happened......

Zhu Jintang couldn't help but be a little puzzled, she was still young, ignorant, timid and cautious, and every time she had sex, she would be panicked like a child, but when she came to the elders, she was not afraid, as if she had changed someone.

The matter of returning to the door, for the Zhu family, is just the duty and etiquette that should be done, so it can be explained clearly.

Mrs. Zhu trusted the Li family, so she waved her hand and motioned for everyone to go back to their places. Everyone retreated in turn, and Shen Yue took the opportunity to follow behind Zhu Jintang, wanting to go back to the courtyard with him.

The two of them walked through the hanging flower door one after the other, and they were still silent.

Shen Yuechen looked at Zhu Jintang's long back, slowly lowered his head, and tried to think about it, thinking about it for a long, long time, but he couldn't think of how he should speak. At this moment, she should have said something, but she didn't know if his anger had disappeared.

Seeing that he was about to walk to the gate of the courtyard, Shen Yuechen finally couldn't bear it anymore, hurriedly stepped forward, and called softly: "Uncle......"

When Zhu Jintang heard the sound, he didn't stop, but slowed down slightly, as if waiting for her to continue.

"Uncle, what do you want to eat at night? The concubine asked Mother Wu to prepare well and prepare ......"

After some thought, she let herself pretend that nothing had happened.

Zhu Jintang suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Shen Yuechen with slightly squinted eyes, an elusive glimmer flashing in his eyes.

Shen Yuechen was stunned by him, and subconsciously smiled slightly, his expression showing some crampedness.

Zhu Jintang glanced at her: "I have something to do tonight, if I don't come back for dinner, you can do it alone." With that, he turned his back and took a step.

Shen Yuechen didn't know where to get the courage, reached out and grabbed his cuffs, grabbed them in the palm of his hand, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, do you still want to rest in the study tonight?" ”

This move made Zhu Jintang retract his steps again, he looked at the slender white hand holding the corner of his clothes, and then looked at her little face full of anxiety and pleading, and in an instant, something seemed to soften in his heart little by little......

She is still a child in the end, she is new to menstruation, and she is afraid of pain and shyness, so why should she be more serious with her, so that she is so afraid and uneasy.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jintang was still expressionless, and just continued: "I have a party in the evening, and I will come back before the time, if there is anything, I will talk about it then." ”

Hearing his words, Shen Yuechen suddenly felt a great sigh of relief in his heart.

She loosened Zhu Jintang's sleeves, looked at his elegant body, raised her eyebrows and smiled lightly: "Okay, the concubine is waiting for the uncle to come back at night." ”

Zhu Jintang remained silent, silently looked at her smiling face, then turned around and stepped on the bright morning light and went out.

Shen Yuechen stood in place, silent for a moment, then glanced back at Chun Ming, and said silently: "Accompany me back to the main courtyard, I want to go and see Brother Ming." ”

Chun Ming was still worried about her master, but when she saw Fang Cai's scene, she was a little relieved.

Li Shi didn't expect that Shen Yuechen would be so attentive to Brother Ming, it was not enough to stay for an afternoon yesterday, and he continued to come over today.

However, her performance of being too eager for quick success also made Li Shi feel guilty, she only asked her to take a look and go back, not to stay too long, so as not to disturb the child.

In fact, yesterday, after Shen Yuechen came, Brother Ming'er cried a lot less at night, and the nurses took care of them more carefully.

In the warm room, the little baby is wrapped in a soft gauze quilt and lies on the small bed, with his eyes closed, as if he is sleeping soundly.

When the nurses saw Shen Yuechen, they saluted and greeted each other, and the one who was the leader took the initiative to come forward and whispered: "A few slaves and maids have asked for peace to the young grandmother." Grandma, Young Master Ming slept much more solidly last night, and woke up once in the middle, and the slaves and maids patted Young Master Ming on the back according to the method you said, and he really didn't spit up milk. ”

When Shen Yuechen heard this, she nodded again and again, and whispered: "The child is too young, you have to pay more attention." ”

She walked lightly to the bed, sat down slowly, and reached out to gently touch Brother Ming'er's tender and smooth cheeks.

Strangely, when the back of her hand touched the child, she suddenly opened her eyes, narrowed her eyes and smiled.

Shen Yuechen was surprised, and couldn't help but let out a "huh", reached out and picked him up from the bed, put him in his arms, and patted him gently: "Why did you wake up suddenly?" ”

Brother Ming didn't actually fall asleep at all, just closed his eyes and thought about things.

Seeing this, the nurse next to her immediately leaned in to take a look, and saw that the little young master was well-behaved without crying or making trouble, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Mother and son are connected, Young Master Ming knows that the eldest young grandmother has come to see him, and he is happy in his heart." ”
