Shen Yuechen sat in front of the dresser, looked at the concentric bun that Chun Ming had pulled for herself, carefully trimmed her sideburns, and said, "Are all the wine and dishes prepared in the kitchen ready?" ”

Tonight, she has to curry favor with Zhu Jintang, and she can't do it without some effort in advance.

Chun Ming nodded: "All kinds of delicate side dishes and bamboo leaf green wine are ready." ”

Normally, Zhu Jintang would go home before the unitary time, and Shen Yuechen had everything ready and just waited for him to come back.

Steamed sea bass, Taibai drunken chicken, cold salad, vegetarian stir-fried choy sum, hibiscus cake, golden silk rolls, and a pot of mellow wine.

After Zhu Jintang came back, he saw that the table prepared by Shen Yuechen was exquisite, and he still had a straight face, expressionless, but he was surprised in his heart.

She's always been mindful of food, but the atmosphere doesn't look right today.

Shen Yuechen was used to his always unchanged iceberg face, stepped forward to ask him to change his clothes, and then waved his hand gently, Chun Ming retreated with great eyes, and quietly closed the door.

Zhu Jintang held the white-faced folding fan and shook it lightly a few times, Shen Yuechen stood aside, personally moistened the towel, wiped his hands, and then poured him wine and vegetables.

"Uncle, please try it, how is this too white drunken chicken doing?"

Shen Yuechen lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, and gently picked up a piece of delicate chicken and put it on his plate.

Zhu Jintang sat there for a while, waving a white-faced folding fan, without saying a word or moving chopsticks.

Shen Yuechen stopped, and gave him another piece of fish, but no longer put it on the plate, but directly fed it to his mouth, and coaxed softly: "Uncle taste this fish while it's hot, Mother Wu has spent a lot of effort to make it." ”

Zhu Jintang didn't have the slightest expression of surprise on his face, but he was surprised that she would behave so affectionately towards him...... She is usually docile and cautious, but she never is so coquettish.

What's wrong with her? Is there something good that has happened to you, and you have overjoyed? Or is there something to ask for......

Zhu Jintang's eyes showed a little deep meaning, and he took her hand, ate the fish, and chewed it slowly.

Seeing that he finally responded to him, the corners of Shen Yuechen's lips hooked, and she was about to continue to pick up vegetables, but she heard Zhu Jintang ask, "Is there something wrong?" ”

When Shen Yuechen heard this, he paused in his hand. Nothing to do, everyone can see that there is a problem, let alone a person like him who has been in business all year round. She thought that when he had eaten and drunk first, she would make him happy first, and then she would tell the story herself.

Shen Yuechen raised her eyelashes slightly, picked up the wine glass with both hands, slowly bowed to Zhu Jintang, and said cautiously: "First of all, the concubine body must first make amends to the uncle, and please drink this cup of wine first, and let the concubine explain it in detail." ”

As expected. Zhu Jintang took the cup, drank the wine in one go, and said lightly: "Say it." ”

Shen Yuechen then told Zhu Jintang what happened during the day, without favoritism or resentment. After she finished speaking, she stood there and waited for a while, before Zhu Jintang's voice came: "If something is broken, replace it with a new one, and replace it if someone doesn't use it, don't worry too much." ”

Zhu Jintang listened very carefully at first, but after listening to it, he couldn't get serious, and poured himself another glass of wine, wanting to interrupt her, but he still listened slowly.

Shen Yuechen still lowered her head and said quietly: "I heard Mama Li say that the vase is a birthday gift from my aunt and grandmother to my uncle, and it is very valuable...... Moreover, Mingxin has been serving the uncle for many years, and if you want to replace it, you must first ask the uncle what he means. ”

She and Mingyue have been following Zhu Jintang for a long time, in case there is really anything, they have to ask clearly.

Close-up? Zhu Jintang raised his eyebrows slightly, only to feel that these four words sounded very awkward.

Shen Yuechen continued: "There are not many maids around the uncle, and they sent away Mingxin, I'm afraid you will feel unaccustomed, but Mama Li has clear rewards and punishments, and she is selfless, even if the concubine wants to stay Mingxin and continue to serve by the uncle's side, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult......"

Zhu Jintang chuckled, but didn't laugh out loud. "The people and things in this courtyard are under your control. Even if Mama Li has an identity, no matter how high she is, she can't be higher than you. There's no need to look at her face. As for Mingxin, she's just a maid, without her, there are others, what am I not used to. ”

Shen Yuechen listened to his words, and his heart was still very useful, and his palms, which were still a little nervous and sweaty, slowly let go, raised his head, bent the corners of his mouth, showed a demure smile, and said, "Uncle said this, the concubine is grateful in her body and heart." Come, the concubine will pour you another glass. ”

Zhu Jintang saw her relieved expression, and there was a feeling in his heart that he couldn't speak, he pressed her hand and said lightly: "You can also sit down, it's not fun to drink alone, you can have a drink with me." ”

When Shen Yuechen heard this, she looked at him with a difficult face, and said in a faint voice: "The concubine doesn't know how to drink." ”

Zhu Jintang picked up the wine jug and filled her with a glass: "I can't drink it to study." There is no daughter-in-law of the Zhu family who can't eat wine. If you don't learn, when it's time for the New Year's holidays, you'll only be left drunk by others. ”

He didn't want to fool her, he was talking about experience.

The merchant's family, both men and women, must be able to eat a few glasses of wine, occasionally help the fun, and socialize.

Shen Yuechen sat down, without speaking, he took the wine glass very sensibly, followed his example, and drank the wine in the cup in one go.

After a glass of wine, a hot and spicy feeling immediately came to my heart, and my face was also feverish. thought that a glass of wine would be enough, but who knows, Zhu Zhu Jintang poured another glass.

Shen Yuechen blushed, waved her hand and said: "The concubine is shallow, she can't drink anymore, and when she gets drunk after a while, she is confused and gaffe, and if she doesn't serve well, the uncle is big." ”

Zhu Jintang directly handed the wine glass to her, so that she couldn't take it, "Drunk, drunk, there are maids serving outside, you don't have to worry about everything." ”

Shen Yuechen didn't want to disturb his good interest, so he had to take another drink.

The degree of this wine is not high, and Zhu Jintang drinks it as if he is drinking water, calmly. On the contrary, it was Shen Yuechen, cup after cup, his mind gradually began to become unclear, he just sat there staring at the wine glass in his hand, and unconsciously sighed: "Alas...... Uncle, it's not good to drink on an empty stomach, it hurts ......"

Zhu Jintang saw that her cheeks were crimson like fire, and she looked a little confused, and the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened, so he only replaced the empty cup in her hand with his own full cup, and said lightly: "Drink the last one more glass, and I will accompany you to drink." After speaking, he made a gesture with the empty cup, Shen Yuechen was dazed, and he didn't know that he was deliberately teasing himself, so he simply raised his head and drank it happily.

Some people will get sleepy when they are drunk, some people will become chattery when they are drunk, and some people will find alcohol to continue drinking when they are drunk. And Shen Yuechen obviously belongs to the last one.

Shen Yuechen, who was drunk, had a ruddy face and a lazy expression, but he looked a little more coquettish, his whole little face felt like light, and his black eyes became more and more beautiful.

Zhu Jintang saw that she was really drunk, and the action of pouring wine also stopped.

Shen Yuechen blinked, seeing that he no longer poured wine for himself, he frowned slightly, and asked softly, "Why didn't the uncle give the concubine a drink?" ”

Zhu Jintang looked at her, and a smile flashed in his eyes: "Because you are drunk." ”

Shen Yuechen's tender red lips drooped, as if she was reluctant to say, "Uncle is so stingy." ”

When Zhu Jintang heard this, he knew that she was really drunk, and if she stayed in normal times, according to her docile and cautious temperament, she would definitely not say such bold words.
