Chapter 45: Returning to the Gate (3)
The Zhu family and the Shen family are in Dezhou City together, and they are not far away, but they are not close. If you take a carriage and walk slowly, it will take you almost an hour to get there.
At this time, the door of the Zhu family has been opened, in order to welcome today's distinguished guests, since yesterday, the atmosphere in the house is very tense, the people are busy with their own affairs non-stop, and they must be on guard at any time that the masters suddenly change their minds and suddenly ask for rearrangement.
There is no doubt that the whole Shen family has regarded today as a big day, not so much to welcome the new aunt, but to welcome the God of Wealth.
Along the way, there was silence in the carriage, and no one was talking.
Zhu Jintang closed his eyes and recuperated, while Shen Yuechen sat beside him, looking at his nose and nose, looking at his heart, his expression was indifferent, and he was not happy.
The servants accompanying the Zhu family followed the car, occasionally shouting a few times to drive away the common people who came to watch the excitement and beg.
The little guys outside the Shen family had already stretched their necks and waited for a whole morning, and even went down to eat lunch, bent on seeing what kind of powerful and extraordinary the new aunt of the legendary Zhu family and even the old lady had to go out to meet in person.
Suddenly, a sharp-eyed person saw a group of people following a gorgeous covered carriage into the alley from a distance, immediately turned around, rushed into the courtyard, and shouted: "The eldest lady and aunt have arrived." ”
When a few maids heard this, they hurriedly walked through the corridor and ran to the Xinuan Pavilion in the main courtyard, and did not enter the house, but only saluted outside the curtain, panting and rejoicing: "Old lady Qiqi, the eldest lady has returned home with her new aunt." ”
When Mrs. Shen heard this, she smiled all over her face, put down the tea bowl, and instructed everyone: "Yuechen is back, let's all go over and have a look." ”
Shen Zhiyun got up slowly, his movements were a little slow, not as impatient as others. In the end, he is the prefect of the fourth grade, and he is usually a person who is used to putting up an official position at home and abroad, and no matter how extraordinary Zhu Jintang is, he is still a commoner, and now he has become his son-in-law...... As an old father-in-law, he had to go out to meet his son-in-law, which undoubtedly made him feel embarrassed and awkward......
Shen Zhijian and Xiao Shi were very active, leading Shen Yue'e and Shen Yue's sisters to the front.
Shen Yuechan and Shen Yueying waited by their mother's side left and right, looking at the goose-yellow dress on Shen Yue'e's body, their faces were full of disdain, and a sneer appeared at the corner of their mouths.
Although she looked down on their stammering appearances a little, she also put a lot of effort into dressing up in the morning. In the end, it is a rich family, and it must not lose its dignity.
When they got up early, Yao came over to dress up the two sisters carefully and personally picked out clothes for them to wear. She was still a little puzzled at the time, she only felt that even if the Zhu family was noble, she just needed to dress appropriately. Who knows, Yao just put it to her ear and said: "You must leave a good impression on Zhu Jintang, the marriage of your sisters is also here now." ”
Yao didn't say much, but it made Shen Yuechan have a lot of speculation in her heart, and she didn't know what kind of wishful thinking her mother was behind her back......
In fact, as early as the day Shen Yuechen got married, the Yao family and the old lady were thinking about this matter together.
In Yao's eyes, Shen Yuechen married into the Zhu family with the blessing of the dead, so he was unconvinced, thinking that if he wanted Zhu Jintang to choose it personally, even if he thought about it with his toes, he would not choose her.
That night, Yao looked at the old lady's face and asked tentatively: "Yuechen, that child, who is simple-minded and doesn't like to socialize with people, can he do well in the Zhu family?" ”
When Mrs. Shen heard this, she took a deep look at Yao's family, took a sip of tea and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it, the family doesn't have to hide it." ”
Yao Shi smiled, and naturally had something to say: "What the daughter-in-law means is that Yuechen's child is docile and doesn't know much about human feelings, except for those mothers-in-law and maids, there is not even a person around her who can help her...... Although the Zhu family has a big business, the family is not easy to get along with, in case something happens, I am afraid that she will be wronged......"
When the old lady heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "You think about it thoughtfully, so what do you say you should do?" Do this to help that kid? ”
Having said that, how could the old lady not understand Yao's thoughts. However, this kind of words still have to come out of her own mouth.
Yao simply said: "I think, since a noble family like the Qin family is willing to condescend to the noble, in order to win over the Zhu family, he did not hesitate to send his daughter to be an aunt." Why don't we strike while the iron is hot and send someone over to help Yuechen? In the end, they are sisters in the family, working together to take care of each other, and life will be better. ”
The old lady listened to it, and the smile on her face deepened, she already knew that Yao was a woman who loved money like her life, but she didn't know that she still had such a sense of clinging to power and stalking.
"It's not easy to say these words from your mouth." The old lady groaned slightly: "Then look at it, which child in our family is the most suitable?" Yuechan, she has always been your treasure, there are people with great hope in the future, are you willing to let her go over to be an aunt to the Zhu family? ”
In terms of appearance, Shen Yuechan is definitely the most outstanding of the sisters.
Yao's family was naturally reluctant to let her daughter be her aunt, so she hesitated and said: "Of course I still prefer Yueying, but her temperament is too soft and timid, and she always lacks the tenacity of her sister." ”
The old lady leaned against the Luohan bed and nodded carelessly: "That's true......"
Yao Shi paused slightly, "If Yuechan can really help, this grievance will not be considered a grievance." ”
Reputation is important, but as long as there are means, nothing cannot be done, things are man-made, and it is not impossible for my aunt to become a regular room.
The old lady waited for her to finish her words, and then said earnestly: "Daughter-in-law, it is indeed not easy for you to think about the Shen family in such a matter. But it's too early to start planning for this. As the saying goes, it's hard to chew too much, let's take our time and see how the kid is doing first. ”
Shen Yuechen had just entered the door, and he hadn't even stood firm on his heels, so when he was too busy to take care of himself, how could he still have the energy to carry others.
When Yao heard this, an embarrassed look suddenly appeared on his face.
Greedy can't chew too much, the old lady is thinking that she is troublesome, and she is greedy.
Old Mrs. Shen followed: "The most important thing at the moment is to prepare to go back to the door, don't think about the rest, remember to be measured, don't make people laugh." ”
Hearing this, Yao nodded and let out a long "en", his face was extremely ugly. She endured it and swallowed the rest of the words into her stomach. There is always a time when people are old, and there is always a time when they can't speak, she can't compete with this old bone now, and there will always be a time when she will be the master of her own house in the future.
The carriage of the Zhu family slowly drove through the street, passed through the alley, and finally stopped outside the gate of the Zhu family, which was full of people.
The people who had been waiting outside the gate for a long time looked expectant, but they didn't dare to make a sound, only cautiously looking at the gently flickering curtain.
The accompanying servant came over to report, Zhu Jintang opened his eyes and said softly: "Have you arrived?" ”
Shen Yuechen nodded with a smile, and stretched out her hand to straighten his clothes for him slightly.
When Zhu Jintang saw her smiling appearance, he thought that she was very happy, so he took the initiative to stretch out a hand.
Shen Yuechen was slightly stunned, and then understood what he meant, he wanted to help himself personally.
Shen Yuechen browled her eyebrows, smiled gratefully at him, then lowered her head and helped him get out of the car with his warm hand.
The husband and wife got out of the car together, and when they looked up, they saw a large group of people standing outside the gate of the Shen family.
At this time, the subordinates did not dare to look more, and immediately leaned over and saluted, greeting in unison.
Zhu Jintang stood still, he didn't expect the Shen family to go out with the whole family, so exciting. He glanced at Shen Yuechen beside him, but saw that she was also taken aback.
Seeing Zhu Jintang, a hint of surprise flashed in everyone's eyes, and looking at Shen Yuechen beside him was even more amazing.
Shen Yuechen was also specially dressed up today, wearing a peach-colored cloud fei makeup satin brocade dress, a ruyi bun on his head, and a silver-gilded butterfly hairpin, which looked very dignified and noble.
Not seeing each other for a day is like three autumns. I haven't seen her for a few days, and she in front of her seems to have completely changed as if she has completely changed herself, standing with Zhu Jintang, no less impressive, like a beautiful person.
In the past, Shen Yuechen rarely dressed up, and he was always on his body
is innocent, but now, she has changed and become a little unrecognizable to everyone.
Shen Yuechen could see the surprise in everyone's eyes, and then slowly stepped forward with his head down, squatted on his knees, and greeted the elders.
Old Mrs. Shen smiled while shaking her hand and said with concern, "How are you on the road?" Exhausted, aren't you? ”
Shen Yuechen nodded, her cheeks flushed slightly, and replied, "I'm tired of my grandmother's memory, everything is fine." ”
Zhu Jintang also greeted the old man, then looked at Shen Zhiyun who was standing opposite, arched his hand, and said politely: "Lord Shen." ”
Shen Zhiyun looked at the "son-in-law" he had been looking forward to for a long time, and nodded with satisfaction.
Zhu Jintang is handsome, needless to say, although he is only in his twenties, his eyes are calm, his expression is indifferent, and he has no arrogance, giving people a sense of maturity and stability.
The group waited for the group to return to the upper tearoom, Mrs. Shen sat in the first place, Shen Zhiyun and Yao sat on the left side of her lower head, Shen Zhijian and Xiao sat on the right side, Shen Yuechen and Zhu Jintang sat sideways to everyone according to their seniority, and several girls of the Shen family were inconvenient to sit down, so they only stood behind their parents, silently looking at Zhu Jintang, who was sitting on the side, handsome and silent.
The Zhu family's reputation is not small, and everyone in Texas knows it, but they often live in the boudoir and rarely go out, and they don't know that he is still a first-class beautiful man.
Shen Yue'e showed envy on her face, Shen Yuechan also sighed secretly, even Shen Yuechan, who was standing behind Yao's family, couldn't help but look at it, and her eyes gradually revealed a little jealousy and longing. God must have looked away and chosen the wrong person, how could he choose Shen Yuechen?
