Chapter 32: The Newlywed (1)

The Changchun Garden of the Zhu family, as the location of today's wedding banquet, has already been full of guests, and it is very lively.

The big red lantern was hung high, setting off the joyful atmosphere at the banquet, and everyone raised their glasses and inscriptions to congratulate Zhu Jintang, the eldest of the Zhu family, on finding a prefect's daughter as his wife.

Although the Shen family does not have the same illustrious reputation as the Qin family, it can be regarded as an official eunuch family.

Before the Zhu family and the Shen family got married, many people speculated that Zhu Jintang would marry another daughter of the Qin family, but the result was unexpected by many people, compared with the Qin family, the background of this new daughter-in-law was a little too low. However, she was selected by Mrs. Zhu based on her birthday, so there are many unpredictable people today who are full of curiosity about this new daughter-in-law of the Zhu family.

Zhu Jintang, who was dressed in a big red wedding robe, was left and right among the guests, the jade tree was in the wind, his eyebrows were flying, and he accepted the congratulations of the guests, and his original deep and rigid facial features seemed to be much calmer.

"Cousin, I wish you a happy marriage, a hundred years of good marriage, and a long old age." Zhu Jinlun, the second young master of the Zhu family, took the initiative to step forward and salute Zhu Jintang, with a gentle and joyful smile on his handsome and white face.

Zhu Jinlun is the eldest grandson of Erfang, and he is only one year younger than Zhu Jinlun. Unlike Zhu Jintang, who is usually meticulous and stereotypical, Zhu Jinlun looks much kinder, but when he starts to do things, he is as unrelenting and resolute as Zhu Jintang.

Perhaps, this is the outstanding feature of the descendants of the Zhu family, as long as you look closely, you will find that under their seemingly ordinary appearances, they hide their ambitions for family power and money.

In the past six months, Zhu Jinlun has been wandering around the south of the Yangtze River, ostensibly playing in the mountains and rivers, but in fact he is still running around for the Zhu family's silk business.

Although Zhu Jintang and Zhu Jinlun are cousins, they have maintained a distance since they were children. Over the years, Zhu Jinlun's strength in running a business has gradually emerged, which often impresses the Zhu family and makes Old Man Zhu have the idea of reusing him.

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and one family cannot tolerate two masters. Zhu Jintang is the eldest grandson of the eldest family, and he is destined to inherit the family business in the future, however, because of the problem of heirs, he is often reprimanded by Old Man Zhu. Zhu Jinlun is superior to his cousin in terms of heirs, although he does not have a son-in-law, he has three concubines. As a result, some people will inevitably begin to have some calculations in their hearts, Zhu Jintang and Zhu Jinlun, who is more suitable to be the helmsman of the Zhu family. So now, Zhu Jinlun has a lot of flattery and flattery around him, and he has the psychology of betting in advance.

Zhu Jintang is a person who is prepared for danger in times of peace, and it is precisely because he knows where his weaknesses are, that he did not reject the marriage of the Shen family. After Qin's death, he almost didn't even have time to be sad, and now that the newcomer is about to enter the mansion, he doesn't have much expectation in his heart, he only heard his grandmother say that she is a well-read and quiet woman, and he agrees.

He has always agreed with the meaning of the elders, and this was the case when he married the Qin family. No matter what kind of woman she is, whether she is beautiful or ugly, virtuous or stupid, he will not reject it, at least not on the surface.

Today is his wedding banquet, hearing the greetings of his younger brother "growing old together", Zhu Jintang smiled faintly, raised his wine glass, raised his head and drank the empty wine in the cup, poured a glass again, and said: "Thank you cousin for your kindness, a glass for your brother." After that, the two brothers raised their glasses and drank together, and in the eyes of outsiders, it was a scene of brothers, friends and brothers.

Before the sedan chair entered the door, Zhu Jintang had already drunk more than a dozen glasses of sake in a row, as long as someone toasted, he did not refuse, you have a cup and I have a cup, so lively.

Zhu Jintang was not such a lively person, his personality has always been a little arrogant, and he is unwilling to get along with others.

The eldest lady Li Shi looked at him from afar, sighed lightly, and said secretly in her heart: Is he really happy?

In the joy of blowing and blowing, the sedan chair of the Shen family finally arrived outside the door of the Zhu family, in the noisy congratulations of everyone, Shen Yuechen completed all the etiquette in a daze, and then surrounded by the Xi Po and the maids, respectfully sent into the new house, like a statue of the Buddha was placed on the Huanghuali wood carved bed.

Stopping and stopping all the way, Shen Yuechen was a little confused about the feeling of being in the southeast and northwest, and the whispers of the people around her made her feel a lot of emotion in her heart.

In her previous life, she was an older leftover woman who had never been in love or married, and she could theoretically say that she was the first thing about men and women, but in fact she didn't know anything.

The lights of the new house are bright, and even through the first floor, Xipa can still vaguely see the women surrounded by pearls and greenery around her, as well as the tall and slender figure.

As soon as Shen Yuechen sat down, she heard Xi Po smile and said, "The groom, quickly pick up the hijab and look at the bride." ”

Zhu Jintang stood beside the bed and hesitated slightly, and then took the gold scale rod from Xi Po's hand.

Shen Yuechen lowered her face, her hands unconsciously clutching the smooth skirt. Just when she was deeply disturbed, the hijab on her head was picked up by Zhu Jintang with a weighing rod.

The bright lights as bright as day made Shen Yuechen's eyes squint slightly, and she only felt that a group of women in brocade clothes were surrounding the soft couch in front of the bed, and their eyes were all staring at her in unison. Among them, the tall man's gaze was particularly sharp, like two scorching flames, which burned her cheeks red.

The moment he saw Shen Yuechen, Zhu Jintang's gaze sank, revealing a look of surprise. But in the blink of an eye, it was back to normal.

Didn't you say you were fifteen years old? Why does it still look so young, it's clearly just a child. A child? If it's for the sake of the heirs, why choose a child?

Shen Yuechen sat on the bed with half-lowered eyes, her pink face was flushed with shyness, her lips were dotted with red rouge, and a flower was pasted on her forehead, which made her eyebrows and eyes suddenly become a little charming.

Shen Yuechen lowered his eyes, fanned it lightly twice like the eyelashes of a small fan, and then raised his head and met Zhu Jintang's bottomless black eyes.

She got married, and the man in front of her was her husband.

Shen Yuechen was stunned, looking at Zhu Jintang standing next to the bed, there was no trace of joy as a groom's official on his handsome face.

In the next second, she silently lowered her eyes, and easily opened the corners of her tight skirt, feeling that she had nothing to be nervous about.

After bowing and worshipping, they are husband and wife. Everything is a foregone conclusion, whether you like it or not, she and him are the parties without a choice.

Shen Yuechen sat up straight, Zhu Jintang also sat down together, Xi Po pressed the hems of the two people's clothes up and down, and then several beautifully dressed maids immediately put on drinks and snacks, sweet cakes and fruits.

Xi Po handed the two wine glasses to the two of them and said a lot of auspicious words of blessing and please.

Shen Yuechen didn't dare to look at Zhu Jintang's cold eyes anymore, but lowered his head and gently sipped the wine in the glass.

The two of them face each other, and they can clearly smell each other's breath, the fresh fragrance of fat powder and the faint smell of wine.

After drinking a glass of wine, the maids stepped forward one after another, preparing to take off the phoenix crown and wedding dress for Shen Yuechen. Zhu Jintang didn't change his clothes, he still had to go out, and the guests in the garden were still waiting for him, the groom.

Zhu Jintang's interest in his new wife is mediocre, she is too young, he can't guess the thoughts of the elders anymore, urging him to get married, urging him to have a child, urging him to marry another person when the Qin family's bones are not cold, but this person is still a child.

There are not many people around Zhu Jintang, and the eldest of them is a grandmother surnamed Li.

In order to leave a good impression on Shen Yuechen, Mama Li personally took someone to serve her to freshen up, but when she was changing clothes, Zhu Jintang had already left without saying a word.

Shen Yuechen's eyes flashed, and he said in his heart: I think he is not satisfied with himself either.

After Zhu Jintang returned to Changchun Garden, he was immediately surrounded by a group of people, drinking wine one after another.

The atmosphere at the banquet was very good, but Zhu Jintang was not happy at all.

His new daughter-in-law doesn't look satisfying. Too young, delicate and weak, although she looks delicate, I heard that she can read and write, but she doesn't look like a woman who can give birth to children. If he can't give birth to a son, this marriage will be meaningless to him.

Thinking like this, I don't know how many cups I drank, and in the end, the eldest lady Li couldn't stand it anymore, so she sent someone to remind him to be careful and not to be greedy for cups.
