Chapter 195: Helpless (4)
Shen Yuechen originally just wanted to be polite, but he didn't think about it, Zhu Jinlun really took it seriously. However, since you promised to prepare, you must do your best. After all, it's all the blood of the family, and if you look down all day and don't look up, there's no need to hide, at least, not yet.
Shen Yuechen took the first step, and after returning to the west courtyard, he waited quietly for Zhu Jintang to come back.
Although she was not sure that Zhu Jintang would definitely oppose the matter of taking a concubine, she knew that as long as she was unwilling, Zhu Jintang would definitely be on her side, just like he said before......
However, although the matter of taking a concubine is small, it is very important.
Shen Yuechen didn't want to embarrass him, but he didn't want to let himself be wronged, after all, the past was the past, and now is the present, and the current relationship between the two people should no longer be able to accommodate a third person.
After waiting for about half an hour, Zhu Jintang came back, and when he saw that Shen Yuechen hadn't even changed his clothes, he seemed to have been waiting for him, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" Why don't you change into comfortable clothes? ”
Shen Yuechen got up and said, "Oh, I was thinking, should I take the children to the yard later......"
Zhu Jintang was a little surprised, at this time, the children are afraid that they have not woken up yet. Moreover, where does she have the energy to take the children around to play?
Suddenly, his mind was a little sensitive to something, and then he looked at Shen Yuechen's face fixedly, and asked, "Why did you pass so early in the morning?" Are you getting along well with your grandmother in the Buddhist hall? ”
The smile on Shen Yuechen's face looked a little unnatural, and she only said, "Well, everything is fine." You also know how much the old lady liked me before, and she said that she would continue to love me in the future. However, the concubine has something she wants to discuss with you......
When Zhu Jintang heard this, he turned to look at the maid behind him, waved his hand and said, "You all go down, I have something to talk about with the young grandmother." ”
Everyone retreated, leaving only the husband and wife, and closed the door in amusement.
Zhu Jintang looked at Shen Yuechen with an uncomfortable expression, and before she could ask a question, he said directly: "You know everything, right?" Grandmother must have told you about taking a concubine. ”
When Shen Yuechen heard this, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, "When I came back last night, why didn't my uncle tell me?" ”
Zhu Jintang frowned slightly, turned around and sat on the chair next to him, and sighed lightly: "Yesterday, the children were crying and crying, I was afraid that you would feel tired......
Actually, he was just afraid that she would feel sad and sad,
Shen Yuechen stepped forward and sat next to him, looked at his face, and said, "This morning, my grandmother told me, let me understand my mother-in-law's difficulty, and don't let them down again." ”
When Zhu Jintang heard this, his brows furrowed even deeper, and he only said, "Are you willing to agree?" It's true? ”
Shen Yuechen saw that his expression was anxious, so he asked rhetorically, "What about the uncle?" What does the uncle think? ”
"What can I think, of course I don't want to, but my mother was so emotional last night that I won't say anything in front of her."
Zhu Jintang believes that Shen Yuechen must be considerate of her feelings, because she has always been like this. But although he thought so in his heart, he still subconsciously avoided Shen Yuechen's sight.
"You know, it's all my mother's meaning, and I don't have the slightest thought. Actually, all I need is you here. He seemed a little restless, and finally, he had to put his hands firmly on his knees and speak slowly.
Shen Yuechen noticed his small movements, and for some reason his heart couldn't help but tense slightly.
Was he nervous? How do you look a little depressed. She'd never seen him like this...... And he wasn't supposed to be like that.
Shen Yuechen secretly clenched her hands and hesitated for a while before she spoke: "Da Rong has already worried a lot about me, and besides, this is what my mother-in-law meant, so, so ......"
Actually, she wanted to grit her teeth and say yes. But I don't know what's wrong, the words that I'm used to saying are just unspeakable.
Zhu Jintang looked at her speechless appearance, knowing that her heart was uncomfortable, so he said again: "You don't have to think too much, this matter is not completely non-negotiable." As long as you say no, I will not take a concubine. ”
He had said before that he didn't want her to see that she was wronged again, and if she really said she didn't want to, then he would definitely try to find a way to push the matter over.
When Shen Yuechen heard this, he felt that he was deliberately reckless.
For her, the Zhu family has made the biggest concession, and such a concession is really rare. And she can't know what to do, face the wind, and continue to challenge the patience of the elders.
Shen Yuechen took a deep breath and forced herself to make up her mind quickly and say something in agreement. It's just that when the words came to her lips, she lost control again.
"Concubine...... I...... I don't want you to take a concubine. As the saying goes, I wish to have one heart, and the white head is not separated, we are husband and wife, and we are heart-to-heart with each other, so I don't want any woman to share the uncle's heart......" The words were left halfway to her mouth, and she had to swallow the rest of the words back.
Zhu Jintang was stunned when he heard this, he couldn't believe his ears, and he couldn't believe that these words were really said by Shen Yuechen.
She used to say "no" too, she used to be jealous too, she used to ...... I care so much about myself.
If Shen Yuechen is usually a jealous woman, then at this moment, when he hears these words, he is afraid that he will immediately start to lose his temper, feeling that she does not know what to do, and he doesn't know what to do...... However, in his memory, Shen Yuechen had almost never been jealous of the women around him, and even, not long ago, she was trying her best to push him into someone else's room every day to avoid sharing a bed with him, day and night.
The human heart is such a strange thing. Once, Zhu Jintang was secretly angry because of her "open-mindedness and virtuousness", but now, she seems to have completely changed as a person, becoming more real, and becoming more flesh and blood.
I have to say that her change and her answer, Zhu Jintang did not feel the slightest dissatisfaction, but a trace of joy welled up from the bottom of his heart, and the boredom that was still accumulated in his arms before also dissipated a lot because of her sincere words.
Not long ago, he was the only one who owned her, and he didn't know anything about her thoughts. And now, he has all of her, and there is no doubt that it is something that deserves to make him happy and satisfied.
Shen Yuechen saw him looking at him in a daze, silent for a long time, and couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
She really said the wrong thing, she shouldn't have said that, she should have been more tactful, more tactful to express herself.
Shen Yuechen lowered her head and said, "Did the concubine say the wrong thing?" Or ......"
Before she finished her words, Zhu Jintang suddenly smiled lightly, then slapped his hands heavily on his legs, and only said, "Okay, I know, I will find a way to solve the matter of taking a concubine." ”
Shen Yuechen immediately raised her head and said busily: "Really? Is Uncle really willing to change his mind for me? ”
Seeing her surprised and delighted, Zhu Jintang took the initiative to stretch out his hand, and Shen Yuechen also reached out, but took it back halfway, wiped the cold sweat on his palms with a handkerchief, and then re-taught his hands.
Seeing this, Zhu Jintang held her little hand and said in a deep voice: "Husband and wife are of the same heart, if you don't like it, naturally I don't like it either." If you think about it carefully, there are too many concubines in the family, which is really not a good thing. ”
Shen Yuechen was very grateful when he heard his thoughtful words, and his eyes were a little sour, and he was originally a little worried, he would be angry.
Zhu Jintang immediately tugged at her hand: "You come here." ”
Shen Yuechen got up in response and slowly walked to him, and before she could stand firmly, she was forcefully pulled into his arms, but in the blink of an eye, she was already sitting firmly on his lap.
Shen Yuechen raised his head unconsciously, his eyes moved slightly, looking at the angular and delicate face as if it had been sculpted, and a pair of deep eyes were filled with a thick soft light, with a mesmerizing gentleness.
Shen Yuechen looked at him for a while before he spoke, "Is it really possible?" ”
Zhu Jintang still smiled faintly: "Of course, let's delay it for a while, we will always find a way." ”
Shen Yuechen muttered: "I just listened to the old lady's meaning, and it seems that she is in a hurry about this matter. ”
Zhu Jintang deliberately hugged her tighter and comforted her: "If I really want to delay time, they can't do anything about me." ”
Shen Yuechen asked softly, "Why?" ”
Zhu Jintang said lightly: "After breakfast, my father called me to the study and told me something about the outside world. I figured it wouldn't be long before I was going to leave for the house. ”
Before, he had been delayed in the capital for too much time, and he had accumulated too many things in his hands that he hadn't done, so he had to speed up the pace for most of the next half a year.
"Out of the house? Where to go? How long to go? Shen Yuechen was a little anxious for a while, and subconsciously grabbed his cuffs and asked.
"It will take three or five months to go to Guanwai, to say the least. Before the end of the year, you can come back. Zhu Jintang replied truthfully.
Shen Yuechen listened, sat up straight and said, "Why do you have to go for so long?" Can I go along? Take me with you. ”
Zhu Jintang shook his head and said: "Outside the customs is not as good as here, the weather is bad, and there are troubles everywhere in food, clothing, housing and transportation, you can't stand it." ”
That kind of suffering, women must not be able to endure it.
When Shen Yuechen heard this, her eyes flashed, and her expression was lost.
Zhu Jintang saw that her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes seemed to have a little mist in them, and said, "This is the best way." Once I get to the gate, no matter what my mother and her plans are, they can only talk on paper. Taking a step back, even if they brought people back, there was no way to force us to round the house, and it would be in vain. ”
Shen Yuechen sighed slightly and smiled at him, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile. "Uncle has been away for so long, I really can't bear it."
Thinking that they would be separated for nearly half a year at a time, there is no doubt that it is an extremely cruel thing for both of them.
Zhu Jintang saw her calm face, his heart was already soft, and he said softly: "When your body is better, I will take you with me." ”
Shen Yuechen nodded slightly, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around his neck, and said in a choked tone: "Uncle is what he says." ”
Zhu Jintang hugged her body and pretended to complain: "I didn't do what I said to you. You know? You've been getting more and more clingy lately. ”
When Shen Yuechen heard this, she couldn't help but smile faintly, and only said, "Yes, I'm really getting more and more useless." ”
The two men snuggled up to each other, said a good word, and then changed their clothes and rested for a while.
When everything was cleaned up, it was time for lunch.
During lunch, Shen Yuechen told Zhu Jintang about inviting Zhu Jinlun over for dinner.
Zhu Jintang was concentrating on eating, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head, and said in slight surprise: "He would actually agree to come over?" ”
Shen Yuechen smiled helplessly: "Actually, I just wanted to be polite at that time, but I didn't expect the second brother to really take it seriously." ”
Zhu Jintang's thin lips pursed slightly: "How could he not know that you are polite?" Come to think of it, I must have something to say to me to say so suddenly. ”
Shen Yuechen picked up a spoon and served him soup, and said, "Well, I want to come." It's just that I don't know what kind of dishes the second brother usually likes, so I can let Wu's mother prepare well. ”
Zhu Jintang took the soup bowl, "Don't bother too much, it's too rich, but it looks raw, like an outsider." Moreover, nylon has never been picky, can be compromised, and is very entertaining. ”
When Shen Yuechen heard this, her heart was a little relieved, and she only said: "That's good, then the concubine will let Mother Wu cook a few specialty dishes." ”
Zhu Jintang said with a smile: "Mother Wu's craftsmanship will never lose, just let her prepare a few dishes at will." ”
……
The next day, Wu's mother started preparing early, listed two menus successively, and showed them to Shen Yuechen.
Shen Yuechen had been in the room all morning to see the doctor, and when he came back, it was close to noon.
Shen Yuechen roughly read it, and felt that the second one looked the most pleasing, so she asked Wu's mother to prepare it immediately according to the menu.
Although the time was a little late, the good thing was that the ingredients were prepared in advance.
On the other hand, Zhu Jinlun also came back early.
Chai was very happy to see him back, and was about to order the kitchen to add two more dishes he liked to eat, when he saw Zhu Jinlun wave his hand and said, "Mother, don't bother, my son is going to eat at Brother Lobby tonight." ”
Chai Shi was surprised, and hurriedly said: "For no reason, what are you doing in the west courtyard?" ”
Zhu Jinlun smiled indifferently: "Mother, we are cousins in the end, and it is very common for us to eat and drink together occasionally." ”
Chai Shi couldn't figure out his thoughts, and said, "At this time, can you eat comfortably in the past?" ”
Zhu Jinlun said: "Why is it uncomfortable? I heard that the cook on my sister-in-law's side is very powerful. ”
Seeing that he deliberately avoided the important and trivial, Chai Shi simply made his words clear and said, "You, don't be too casual." People's hearts are separated from their bellies, even if they are a family? In the future, no one can say what will become of you. ”
When Zhu Jinlun heard this, he shook his head meaningfully, smiled slightly, and said: "Now is not the time for tension." The future is the future, the present is the present, there is no need to hurt the harmony early. ”
