Shen Yuechen rarely has leisure and leisure, accompanying Zhu Ying to learn and play together, Wu's mother bowed her head and embroidered the bandage, occasionally mentioning a few words about the cuixin around her, and Chun Ming also joined in the fun, smiling and looking at it twice.

Towards evening, the dim sunlight shone in obliquely through the window, dyeing the whole harmonious room with a faint gold, and also gilding the people in the room with a warm luster

Zhu Jintang walked into the west courtyard leisurely with his hands behind his back, but he didn't expect to suddenly hear a burst of laughter like silver bells, and the child's milk voice read milkily: "...... Round Pig Pig, Golden Pig Pig ......"

Zhu Jintang's footsteps stopped, he seemed to recognize this laughter, but he felt very unfamiliar. Raising his eyes, he glanced at the people in the room from a distance, and finally his eyes stayed on Shen Yuechen, who was sitting by the window. She was sitting by the window, teaching Zhu Ying in her arms what to write and draw, and the faces of the two of them were full of smiles, intimate postures, and happy expressions.

Zhu Jintang only felt that her unreserved smile seemed to be different from before, and his heart moved.

She never seemed to smile so easily in front of herself. Sure enough, when her eyes inadvertently flowed on him, her expression changed slightly, and the smile on her face became a little stiff.

Zhu Ying was also sincerely afraid, and got up with Shen Yuechen and came to the door to greet him.

Zhu Jintang saw it clearly, and couldn't help but feel a layer of coolness added to his heart.

However, in the blink of an eye, Shen Yuechen's face returned to his usual seemingly docile and well-behaved but guarded expression.

She smiled slightly, took Zhu Ying and said, "Go and say hello to my father." ”

Zhu Ying saluted with a little cramped and uneasy: "My daughter greets my father." ”

Zhu Jintang touched Zhu Ying's head and said flatly: "I just saw that you were talking and laughing, what are you doing?" ”

Zhu Ying remembered Cao's previous advice, took the initiative to pull her father's big palm, raised her head and replied, "Mother is teaching her daughter to write." ”

Zhu Jintang glanced at Shen Yuechen, "Take it over and let me take a look." ”

Zhu Ying nodded in agreement, trotted all the way to the table, tiptoed up a few large characters written crookedly on the table, and handed them to his father.

Zhu Jintang took it and looked at it, and suddenly hooked the corners of his mouth with a smile. It's not so much writing as ghost drawings, the first few are crookedly written, and in the middle, the strokes become much more neat, and in the end, all of them have become graffiti, with flowers and grass, and a strange thing like a cow and a horse.

Zhu Jintang read it seriously, and finally nodded and said: "The writing is not bad, your mother's handwriting is excellent, you have to follow her to learn hard, don't always be playful." ”

Zhu Ying nodded yes, took the messy rice paper, and folded it carefully, "Later, my daughter will show it to Aunt Cao." ”

When Shen Yuechen heard this, she immediately looked at Chun Ming and said, "It's almost time for dinner, you can send her back to the Cao family." ”

Chun Ming said "um" and picked up Zhu Ying and walked out of the house. Shen Yuechen personally served refreshments to Zhu Jintang and handed over a hot towel to wipe his hands.

Zhu Jintang didn't bother her today, took a towel and wiped his hands carefully: "You don't have to be busy, there are people to do the things you serve, and you don't need to do everything yourself." ”

He said these words with a blank face, and it was impossible to guess the joy and anger, but the tone sounded a little strange.

Shen Yuechen hurriedly smiled: "It is the duty of a concubine to serve the uncle, this little thing is just a gesture." ”

Her expression is very gentle, and her tone is very sincere, which is really impossible to find out the fault. But it's because I can't make a mistake that it seems more and more not sincere.

Shen Yuechen didn't know what he was thinking, and still smiled: "The concubine serves the uncle for dinner!" The food in the kitchen was already prepared and simmered on the stove......"

"No, you don't." Before Zhu Jintang could finish speaking, he refused without hesitation.

Shen Yuechen was slightly stunned when she heard this.

Zhu Jintang continued: "I will rest at Sun's place tonight, and I won't eat dinner here." After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but look at Shen Yuechen's face, but found that she was still as calm as water, without any different colors, just smiling slightly.

"The Sun family waited for the uncle for a night in vain last night, and the uncle should go over to take a look and be appeased."

When Zhu Jintang heard this, he couldn't help laughing out loud and said in a low voice. "I am very pleased that Madame is so virtuous and sensible." Although he was laughing, his laughter was clear and cold, which made Shen Yuechen stunned.

Zhu Jintang only left her with a meaningful smile, and then got up and left.

Mother Wu on the side frowned, leaned over to Shen Yuechen's side, and said cautiously: "Miss, the eldest young master seems to be angry with you." ”

Shen Yuechen was silent for a while before nodding and saying, "I know." ”

When Mother Wu heard this, she was very anxious and said, "Uncle obviously likes Miss very much, but why do you always want to push him out, Miss?" ”

Shen Yuechen asked quietly, "Did I do it so obviously?" ”

Mother Wu sighed and didn't speak again. It doesn't matter if it's obvious or not, the important thing is not to make the eldest young master feel guilty and affect the relationship between the two on weekdays.

"Miss, you usually have too much on your mind, you think too much, and naturally you have a lot of scruples, but the eldest young master is your husband after all, and he is the person you want to hold hands for a lifetime."

Shen Yuechen smiled lightly: "Really?" Can I really live with him for the rest of my life? Mother Wu, I never thought about it so much, just take one step at a time and see one step at a time. ”

For Zhu Jintang, she has no extravagant hopes, she doesn't want to be more affectionate with him, she just wants to respect each other like a guest and live a peaceful life.

When Sun Wenpei heard that the uncle came to see him, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly put on the new clothes given by the Qin family, and dressed up in the mirror again. She already has a good foundation, but after carefully dressing up, she looks more and more bright and moving.

As soon as Zhu Jintang entered the house, he saw Sun Wenpei standing in the room, looking at him with a smile. She is wearing a bixia cloud pattern plum blossom collar gown today, a crescent phoenix tail skirt is tied on her lower body, and a pearl exquisite eight-treasure hairpin is on her head, which is glamorous and vulgar, and her whole body reveals a bright charm, which is breathtaking.

Sun Wenpei rarely dressed so brightly and gorgeously, and walked to Zhu Jintang and saluted: "Uncle Wanfu." ”

Zhu Jintang looked at her, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and the original unhappiness in his heart faded a little.

Since Shen Yuechen has no intention of herself, why should she care too much, just let her give birth to a son, everything else doesn't matter, and it doesn't matter.

Sun Wenpei prepared the wine and food in advance, and wanted to talk about the wine and warm words with Zhu Jintang as before. However, he only ate a few bites, and then put down his chopsticks, as if he had no appetite.

It's only been a few days of hard work, and Wu's mother's craftsmanship has raised Zhu Jintang's taste a little tricky. And the wine and food in the kitchen are too greasy, and there is a little less thought about meat and vegetarian combinations, which is really unappetizing.

Zhu Jintang had no intention of drinking and eating, so Sun Wenpei took the opportunity to send the maid away and wait for him to change his clothes and freshen up. So far, the two have not spoken for a night.

After a few hours, the sky slowly dawned. Zhu Jintang woke up very early as usual, opened his eyes, and the people around him who first caught his eye were still sleeping soundly, his body was warm and fragrant, and there were a few strands of black hair hanging on his ruddy face.

Zhu Jintang raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and for some reason suddenly remembered another person.

She rarely slept so soundly, and every morning as soon as he woke up, she would get up immediately and without delay. Carefully calculated, only once, because she was sleepy and got up late, after waking up, she was like a child who had done something wrong, and her expression was cramped and uneasy...... Presumably, she is not here, and she should also want to sleep more peacefully.

Zhu Jintang thought about it, his eyes were fixed, and he felt that he must be asleep, so he suddenly remembered her.

Zhu Jintang turned over and got up, but Sun Wenpei was still sleeping soundly, and he didn't notice it for half a minute.

Zhu Jintang didn't call the maid in, he went directly to the basin rack to wipe his face, and after getting dressed neatly, he went straight back to the upper room.

Seeing this, Sun's maid Sixi hurriedly went in to wake up her master, but it was still too late, too late.

At this time, Shen Yuechen had already gotten up and was about to have breakfast. She expected that Zhu Jintang would accompany the Sun family this morning, so she only asked Wu's mother to prepare some simple food.

Who knows, Zhu Jintang's sudden appearance made them a little hurried for a while.

Zhu Jintang didn't eat much last night, and her stomach was empty, so she saw that she was eating, so she simply sat down.

Compared with the usual, the food on the table today is more light, and there is not even a meat dish. Steamed lotus root slices, pickled cucumbers in sauce, a plate of cloud silk flower rolls, and a large bowl of red adzuki bean honey dates glutinous rice porridge.

However, although the table is full of light, the aroma is fragrant, which makes people's appetite move.

After Shen Yuechen was slightly stunned, she instructed Wu's mother to re-cook millet porridge and send it, and only said: "Uncle, I don't like to eat sweet, so the concubine will order someone to make you a bowl again." ”

Zhu Jintang waved his hand: "Don't bother, just eat like this." ”

Shen Yuechen couldn't guess which one he came out of nowhere, he was obviously resting at Sun's place last night, why did he suddenly turn back early in the morning.

Zhu Jintang tasted the porridge in the bowl, his lips tightened slightly, and it was really sweet. Looking up at Shen Yuechen again, I saw that her cheeks were faintly pink, and her complexion was excellent, and at a glance, she knew that she slept well last night.

Shen Yuechen saw that he only ate one bite and then stopped eating, suddenly smiled slightly, picked up a piece of steamed lotus root and sent it over: "There is also ready-made millet porridge in the kitchen, just a little hot." Uncle first eat a piece of fresh lotus root to appetize. ”

Zhu Jintang glanced at her, looking at the gentle smile on her face, his eyes flashed slightly, and the remaining sweetness in his mouth slowly went down his throat and reached his heart.

Shen Yuechen didn't notice the emotions he showed at first glance, just took the bowl in Wu's mother's hand, held the spoon and blew gently, and then scooped up a spoonful of millet porridge and sent it to Zhu Jintang's mouth. "Uncle taste."

Zhu Jintang looked at her silently, took her hand, took a bite of porridge, his eyes were complicated, and he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: I obviously shouldn't be so concerned, but instead, I just came to look at her, and I suddenly felt comfortable in my heart.
