After returning from the Zhu Mansion, Old Lady Shen didn't say a word all night, replaying every scene during the day in her mind, thinking about how to treat Shen Yuechen today.

She behaved not badly today, she was steady and polite, and she was generous, and she showed her face in front of everyone for herself and the Shen family. It was supposed to be a good thing, but she couldn't be happier.

Old Lady Shen sighed, her face sank like water, and after a while, she looked at Mama Li and said, "It seems that I have to write a letter to the boss." ”

This matter is big or small, and we have to come back to him to discuss it.

After dinner, Shen Yuechen has been practicing calligraphy, copying the same scriptures over and over again, but unlike usual, she uses her left hand instead of her right hand.

She wrote for half an hour before she put down her pen and rested, moved her slightly sore wrist, and inadvertently touched the string of Buddhist beads, and couldn't help but be slightly distracted.

Mother Wu has been quietly paying attention to her every move, and deliberately found an excuse to send Cuixin outside to do chores, which saw her speechless, and stepped forward and reminded in a low voice: "Miss, you never use your left hand to write at home." ”

Shen Yuechen was stunned in his hand, and said with a look as usual: "I haven't practiced for a long time, I'm afraid of my hands." Don't worry, just burn them all when you're done. ”

Mother Wu wasn't worried about this, she was worried that Shen Yuechen was struggling with something uneasy in her heart.

Shen Yuechen knew that she was worried about herself, she couldn't help but sigh and sigh, then put down the pen in her hand, gathered all the paper she had written, and prepared to pack up her things.

Mother Wu stepped forward, took the things in her hand, and said softly, "Miss has been busy all day, let's rest early." ”

Shen Yuechen smiled at her, wanting her to feel at ease: "It's okay, I'm not tired, I'll just sort out these things myself." With that, she put the clumps of waste paper into the candle flame and lit it, and then threw it into the brazier, looking at the flickering light of the fire, and was silent again.

She stood with her hands down, and the Buddhist bead bracelet on her wrist fell there, as if it weighed a thousand catties.

Seeing this, Wu's mother didn't say anything more and quietly retreated. When I returned to the next room, I saw Cui Xin sitting by the lamp doing needlework, yawning sleepily.

Cui Xin pinned the needle, got up and said, "Is Miss asleep?" ”

"Hmm." Mother Wu replied lightly.

Hearing this, Cui Xin lowered her head and turned around to spread the quilt, hesitated for a long time, and then suddenly said: "Miss doesn't seem to be very happy after coming back today, I don't know if I have suffered any grievances outside?" ”

Mother Wu beckoned, asked her to come to her, and whispered: "Two days later, it will be Madame's death day, and Miss feels uncomfortable." You have to be sensible, don't say the wrong thing and annoy the young lady. ”

Cui Xin nodded and agreed meticulously.

Mother Wu stroked her head, "Good boy." ”

Cui Xin then snuggled up to her side, like a child who depended on her elders, quietly lowered her head and stopped talking.

Tonight was a sleepless night for Shen Yuechen, and at the same time, there were many people in the brightly lit Zhu family's West Garden opposite the city, who were also worried about sleeping like her.

The bangzi of Hai Shi had just been knocked, and in the main room of the West Garden of Zhufu, there were still a room of people sitting in the order, everyone sat down in the order of the eldest and youngest, and the old man Zhu was drowsy, and the old lady Zhu frowned and pondered, slowly twisting the ebony Buddha beads in her hand, and it was exactly the same as the string she had given to Shen Yuechen before.

The middle-aged man sitting at the bottom of them was Zhu Feng, the eldest man of the Zhu family, with a very grim face, while his wife Li Shi was sitting next to him, with a depressed expression, sitting opposite the two. It is the second master Zhu Jun and his wife Chai.

After changing to hot tea, Xiao sent all the people who were waiting in the house out, just waiting for the old ancestor to speak up about her decision.

If you have to say it, you have to say it sooner or later, the Buddha beads in Mrs. Zhu's hand turned a few times, and finally stopped. As soon as her hand stopped, everyone's expressions became nervous.

"That kid from the Shen family looks pretty good, I think it's settled like this."

As soon as these words came out, Li Shi immediately looked panicked and said eagerly: "Old ancestor, Jintang is your most beloved grandson, he is the eldest grandson, how can you ruthlessly let him marry an ominous person?" In case of an accident......"

When Zhu Feng heard this, he also frowned, and continued: "Mother, isn't it too anxious to settle this matter now?" After all, the eldest granddaughter-in-law is still ......"

Old Madam Zhu said lightly: "I also know that I am in a hurry, but the sooner the matter is settled, the more time there will be to prepare." The Qin family has been making a lot of trouble on their side, and the intention is already very clear, we can't continue to ignore it, and Nantianshi's words must always be kept in mind, that child's eight characters are the most suitable. ”

Just the nonsense of a charlatan warlock will affect his son's life. Don't let so many well-known ladies outside, but choose a broom star who is born with a mother......

Li Shi naturally didn't follow in his heart, knelt straight in front of the old lady, and said earnestly: "Please think twice about the old ancestor." Even if the Southern Heavenly Master is an immortal in the world, he may not be able to get a glimpse of the heavens in everything...... What if he miscalculated? What if the old ancestor mistakenly believed him? ”

She was indeed crazy, and she had no time to estimate the mood of her ancestors, so she just wanted to say all the words that were pressed on her heart.

Old Madam Zhu frowned, ordered her son Zhu Feng to help her up and sit down, and continued: "For Jintang, for the Zhu family, even if there is only one in ten thousand hopes, it is worth trying!" You care about your son, and I care about my grandchildren, my great-grandchildren, and their children and grandchildren. Speaking of this, she paused slightly, raised her voice and said: "This is the second time, we can't let the same tragedy happen all the time, otherwise, the last person to delay will only be Jintang." ”

The child born to the Qin family, although he was the great-eldest grandson of the Zhu family, was not Zhu Jintang's first son. As early as five years ago, when Zhu Jintang had not officially married his wife, his personal maid Dong gave birth to a son for him, but the result was unexpectedly similar to Qin's situation, the same dystocia and blood collapse, the same dying life, and in the end, both adults and children were not saved, and both died.

Now, Qin's body is already lacking in healing, and the child is still a premature baby who is not enough in the womb, it is difficult to raise, and there will be any accidents in the future.

"I am already a person who has been buried to the neck by the loess, and I don't ask for anything else, but I just ask that your big house can prosper and keep the family business left by your ancestors."

Hearing this, the eldest lord Zhu Feng immediately looked ashamed, got up and said, "It's all the son's unfilial piety, so you have to worry about it, mother." Jintang's marriage will be done according to your old man's wishes, and there will be no objections. ”

As soon as Zhu Feng's words came out, Li Shi also trembled with excitement, followed by a black in front of him, and fainted directly on the seat.

For a while, everyone was in a hurry, and hurriedly helped her up, while stroking her back and smoothing her breath, while telling the maid to find a doctor.

Old Madam Zhu sighed heavily, as if she was a little physically exhausted, while Zhu Jun and Chai, who were standing next to her, exchanged a look silently, and were happy in their hearts, and then hurriedly greeted them, pretending to be concerned.
