As a person who came over, Zhu Jun was also young and vigorous, and for those women who did not enter the stream, he often upset the Chai family.

As a person who has come over, he just wants to warn his son a few words, don't do unworthy things for the sake of unworthy people.

"Look at your cousin, how powerful he used to be, but now for your cousin-in-law, the family is full of bitterness. You don't want to learn from the good and the bad, at this juncture, you can learn what the wind and snow, children are common. ”

Zhu Jun got up slowly, walked to the cabinet with all kinds of antique jade behind his back, and continued: "In two months, you will get married, it's time to take care of yourself, so as not to neglect your new daughter-in-law and future in-laws." You must know that your new daughter-in-law is the daughter of an official family, and the most important thing for those people is face. ”

The face of the merchant is thick, and the face of the official is thin. One values profit, and the other values fame.

Zhu Jinlun sat next to him, listening silently, keeping the tea bowl in his hand, and said with a faint smile: "What if she is the daughter of an official family?" It's not the same to marry and be a woman, abide by women's morals, serve your husband, and honor your in-laws. This will, she hasn't passed the door yet, why are we in such a hurry to please her? ”

The daughter of an official family has always been pompous and imposing. I like to be high and unstoppable.

Just like the late cousin-in-law Qin, she is like that. Although all the family can see is how gentle and elegant she is, beautiful and outstanding, but no matter how many advantages she has, she can't hide it, her always slightly contrived kindness, and the ambition that is clearly visible in her eyes.

Zhu Jinlun likes to observe a person from words and deeds, but he prefers to explore a person's true character from his eyes.

In the past, the Qin family's high-profile style everywhere in the Zhu family made the people around her have to pay attention to her and care about her.

In the eyes of their families, Zhu Jintang and Qin Hongjuan are a talented and beautiful couple. However, Zhu Jinlun knew that Zhu Jintang's relationship with her was not deep, and he treated her far less attentively than Shen Yuechen now.

Although everyone else was surprised, Zhu Jinlun felt that his cousin treated the Qin family more politely than intimately.

Zhu Jun listened to his son's words, and said with a little dissatisfaction in his tone: "Don't be born in happiness and don't know blessings, the family has put a lot of effort into this family business, don't be dissatisfied." ”

Zhu Jinlun lowered his eyes slightly and said, "Of course my son is content." ”

He didn't want to argue with his father about it because he knew what he was thinking.

Because Zhu Jintang married the daughter of an official family, and the stepfamily of the continuous string is also the daughter of an official family.

The long house is so beautiful, and the second room is naturally unwilling to be subordinate, so no matter what, they have to marry an official daughter for Zhu Jinlun, and the official quality is neither high nor low, and it happens to be the state capital.

While speaking, Zhu Jun carefully took down a Tang Sancai lady from the cabinet, squinted his eyes slightly, admired its plump and elegant face, and said: "Your grandfather has liked beauties all his life, and he also made a lot of ridiculous things when he was young. You know? Once upon a time, many people outside thought that the Zhu family was going to collapse, and it was going to collapse in the hands of your grandfather. Then your father and I were a kid playing with mud, and I didn't understand anything. As a result, our Zhu family did not collapse, although your grandfather ate and drank all day long, but the Zhu family did not collapse, do you know why? ”

Zhu Jinlun didn't reply, but waited for his father to continue.

Zhu Jun was very focused on tasting Tang Sancai in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Because your grandfather married your grandmother, because he has a wife who is a good housekeeper." ”

Zhu Jinlun laughed dumbly when he heard this, but he had to agree with his father's words in his heart.

Zhu Jun reluctantly put Tang Sancai back into the cabinet, then turned around and looked at his son Zhu Jinlun's face, "When you and your uncle were young, we watched with my own eyes how your grandmother struggled to maintain this family. Even if you can't get a tael of silver out of the family's account, your grandmother still has the ability to make the family's red and white ceremonies beautiful, so that people can't find any flaws. In fact, half of the credit for the Zhu family to be where it is today is your grandmother's and her maiden family. ”

Doing business has both losses and gains, and no one can always be a "winning general", and can always make a lot of money.

Zhu Jun remembers that when he was seven years old, Texas was hit by a once-in-a-century drought, and the surrounding fields were barren and barren. Not to mention food, even the forage to feed the animals has to be brought in from other places. Natural and man-made disasters cannot be avoided. The year's lack of income made the Zhu family's business precarious, however, the price of sitting on the black market made the Zhu family in debt and almost bankrupt. At that time, the old man of the Zhu family had to take out the ancestral old mansion as a mortgage to guarantee it, so that he could borrow a little silver and two turnovers. At the critical moment, the old lady took out all her dowry, and personally took a boat back to her mother's house in Cangzhou, and tried her best to raise a large amount of silver to let the Zhu family survive the difficulties.

"Back then, so did your cousin. You also know how many big deals the Qin family's fame brought us back then? Those tens of thousands of taels of deals are definitely not the sweetness that ordinary people can get. So, son, think about it, once the new daughter-in-law gets married, how many opportunities are waiting for us in such a big place as Qingzhou? And those opportunities are yours. When Zhu Jun finished saying this, he gently patted Zhu Jinlun's shoulder, and said in an accentuated tone: "This marriage is a good opportunity for us to start being the masters of the house, you know." ”

Zhu Jinlun understood the meaning of his father's words, he raised his head, looked directly into his father's eyes, and said solemnly: "My son knows the severity." ”

Zhu Jun smiled slightly: "Of course, you are my son, who has a unique vision since he was a child, and knows what is valuable and what is not." What is the maid called Xiao Tao, it's just a fresh picture for a while, don't let your mother worry about it, her body is sinking day by day. ”

Zhu Jinlun responded: "My own business, I have my own measure, I won't let my mother and you worry about it." ”

When Zhu Jun heard this, he withdrew his hand and said, "That's good, okay, don't talk about it." I'm a little hungry, so let's get the food ready. ”

In order to save trouble, Zhu Jinlun and his father Zhu Jun ate together in the study. However, this meal, Zhu Jinlun had no appetite, and he didn't know how to eat it.

Although his father's words are very reasonable, and his request is not excessive, for Zhu Jinlun, it still makes him depressed.

Family relationships are indeed very important, and everyone can benefit from each other's relationship handsomely. This is definitely a good thing, but if you have to think carefully about everything in your life, such a life is too boring.

If it's just a favorite maid, it doesn't matter, it's just that he's still so young, he doesn't want to live a life like this, or like Zhu Jintang, even if he becomes the head of the next generation, he is just as conformist and has no new ideas...... His life shouldn't have gone on like this...... It is his ambition to become the next head of the Zhu family, but this does not include it, to become another Zhu Jintang himself.

Because Zhu Jinlun had dinner directly in her father's study, Du Juan's carefully arranged dinner prepared in the kitchen did not come in handy as expected, which made her feel a little disappointed.

The second young master rarely eats supper at night, and if he doesn't eat these dishes, after overnight, it will be even worse.

The cuckoo sighed a little distressedly: "Keep that quail egg and pearl soup, and you can take the rest and divide it." ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately burst into laughter.

Seeing this, the cuckoo glanced at them with displeasure and scolded: "It's all heartless things!" The serious master didn't eat it, but it cheapened you gluttonous guys. ”

When everyone heard this, they didn't dare to laugh anymore, so they could only steal joy in their hearts. Among them, if there is something wrong, he immediately replied: "Sister Du Juan has been busy all day and has worked hard. I know that my sister loves to eat scrambled eggs with shrimp the most, and this dish has not been touched yet, so I will send my sister into the house first, and then wait for my sister to be free, and then eat slowly. ”

When the cuckoo heard this, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked: "Well, you are still a good person." After speaking, she looked at the dishes on the table again, pointed to the plate of vegetarian stir-fried cabbage and said, "Take that dish back to the kitchen, add a little more salt and stir-fry again." Later, I'll bring it to Sister Peach. ”

If the tender cabbage sum is fried for too long, it is not as delicious as the old vegetable leaves. Moreover, it is necessary to add more salt, which is clearly a deliberate bully.

Jin Gui listened, and for some reason her eyelids suddenly jumped, thinking to herself, she had already been there once during the day, and she would want to come again, in case the second young master found out, wouldn't it be endless trouble. She felt inappropriate, and hurriedly answered: "How can you let my sister do this little thing herself?" My sister is the one who serves the second young master, so let's stay in the room and wait for the second young master to come back. I'll deliver the little peach girl's food. ”

The cuckoo looked at her suspiciously and said, "Strange? Usually let you go to her house, you always shirk in every way, why did you suddenly become enthusiastic today? What's wrong? Are you afraid that I will bully her? Or do you want to wait for the second young master at her? ”

In the past few days, Zhu Jinlun has to go to her almost every night. This is a well-known thing, but if they can't keep it, what other thoughts do they have, and they also want to go over and follow it.

Jin Gui's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said: "Sister, don't get me wrong, I just don't want my sister to be tired." ”

Du Juan smiled slightly: "Sister Jin Gui has a heart." But I still have to deliver this dish, so as not to make Sister Peach lose her temper again, and she doesn't eat or drink, and she spoils things in vain. ”

She doesn't eat bayberry during the day, and this plate of cabbage at night is enough for her.

That's right, she just wants to bully her and despise her until she is willing to bow down and completely die for it.

Jin Gui wanted to speak and stopped, but he couldn't persuade him even if he thought about it, but he didn't say anything, and only went down to eat with the others.

Too lazy to care, too lazy to worry about it. Some people want to fight for their position, while some people just want to do their duty, three meals and clothing.

Subsequently, Du Juan personally came to Xiao Tao's room with the plate of fried vegetarian stir-fried cabbage sum that was somewhat black and yellow.

Xiao Tao had just been combed, her hair was still wet and scattered on her back, her face was slightly ruddy, her eyes were still swollen, and she was crying at first glance.

Seeing her beautiful appearance after bathing, the cuckoo smiled unconsciously and said, "Little peach girl, I'm bringing you food." ”

Xiao Tao sat in front of the mirror, and after hearing her voice, her eyes flashed, and she immediately put down the wooden comb in her hand, and said lightly: "My sister treats me really caringly." fruit and food. ”

It seems that she is addicted to bullying, and if she doesn't torture herself several times a day, she will not be happy.

When the cuckoo saw that she was coming, she sat firmly in her chair and said, "What can I do if I don't come?" I heard that the girl cried very sadly in front of the second young master, which was pitiful. With that, she slammed her meal down on the table.

The sudden sound made Xiao Tao's body tremble slightly.

Her reaction fell in the cuckoo's eyes, which made her mood somewhat happy.

Xiao Tao slowly stood up, turned to look at the smiling face of the cuckoo, and the fried food she served, frowning slightly, and feeling extremely tormented.

She didn't feel afraid, she just felt that patience was a hard thing. It's like holding your breath in the water, it's extremely uncomfortable.

The cuckoo stared at her red and swollen eyes and asked in a low voice, "You have the ability to cry and cry, why don't you have the ability to sue?" ”

Xiao Tao didn't dodge like before, but asked bluntly, "Do you want me to sue?" ”

Du Juan was still smiling at this time, but he lowered his voice: "If you chew your tongue by the side of the second young master, the end will only get worse." ”

Xiao Tao took a step back, looked at her and said, "I don't know what my sister is annoying about me, so she targets me again and again." After speaking, she looked down at the plate of cabbage sum and said, "My sister's anger is so big, so even if I eat these things, it won't make you feel angry." In this case, whether I eat or not, whether I am obedient or disobedient, it is irrelevant. ”

Cuckoo listened to her words and was a little surprised, "You are quite good at talking." Then, she pushed the plate with her hand, "What kind of person eats what kind of meal, this dish is just right for you, and rotten cabbage is just right for you, and it is the same as cheap." ”

When Xiao Tao heard this, she suddenly pursed her lips and smiled, "Really?" ”

Xia Jiu stood aside and whispered, "You can't eat this dish......"

Although I am afraid of the cuckoo, if the little peach girl eats a bad stomach, she is unwell or sick, and she can't get rid of it.

Xiao Tao didn't think so, and directly picked up the dish, picked up a greasy vegetable leaf with her slender white fingers, and then threw it directly on the cuckoo's body without thinking.

The cuckoo was slightly stunned, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and then turned to anger.

However, Xiao Tao reacted before her, and her reaction made Du Juan stunned again.

Xiao Tao raised her hand and sprinkled the whole dish on her body, and the greasy black soup immediately stained the new moon-white pajamas on her body, which looked very disgusting.

The cuckoo froze in place, a little unclear about what she was doing.

After Xiao Tao finished pouring the dishes, she also threw the plate heavily on the ground, and the plate shattered in response, causing Xia Jiu to almost cry, "Girl......"

Xiao Tao's face did not change, he bent down, chose the sharpest piece from the fragments on the ground, and held it tightly in the palm of his hand.

"You ......" The cuckoo was frightened by her sudden move, and subconsciously took a step back, for fear that she would pounce on her.

Xiao Tao said quietly: "Sister is scared? Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. With that, she raised her hand again, but this time, she pointed the sharp shard directly at her face, and it got closer and closer.

The cuckoo couldn't help but exclaim, "What are you going to do?" Are you crazy? ”

Xiao Tao pressed the sharp sharp spire next to the base of her ear, and with a little force, she made a small cut, and the red and dazzling blood flowed out, as if a thin red line was drawn along her cheek.

The cuckoo's face was already pale, and looking at her looked like looking at a madman again, and finally couldn't help but say: "Don't be crazy anymore, if you break the appearance, you will be miserable." ”

Xiao Tao looked at her fixedly when she heard this, and didn't speak until she heard the familiar footsteps, and then said in an extremely low voice: "No, you are miserable." ”

As her words fell, the wound on her face lengthened and deepened, and the blood flowed faster.

Her hand shook a little, and the porcelain piece fell to the ground and turned into several smaller pieces with a crisp sound.

Just when Du Juan and Xia Jiu were still in a trance, Xiao Tao suddenly shouted, and then sat down on the ground, not caring about the debris all over the ground, and cried with a low head.

The cuckoo was completely stunned by her, and stood in place in a daze, stunned, only listening, Xia Jiu glanced behind her, his body stiffened, and his tears were scared back, and he hurriedly said in a trembling voice: "Second ...... Second Young Master......"

The cuckoo couldn't help but turn around and take a look, only to see that at the door a few steps behind him, Zhu Nylon was standing with his hands behind his back, looking at Xiao Tao who was sitting in the mess with surprise on the ground, his face was extremely ugly.

At that moment, the cuckoo felt that something had exploded in his chest, splashing all over the ground, like fragments on the ground.

Then, Xiao Tao's trembling and restless cry sounded in her ears, "Help...... Second Young Master, save me......"

After Xiao Tao looked up and saw Zhu Jinlun, she immediately cried bitterly, and there was still blood on her cheeks, splashing on her dress drop by drop, which looked shocking.

Zhu Jinlun only hesitated for a few seconds, then immediately rushed to Xiao Tao's side, picked her up from the ground, and looked in the direction of the cuckoo with a pair of black eyes, his face was blue and his eyes were terrifyingly cold.

In just a few moments, Xiao Tao was already crying like a tearful person, just like her just now.

She nestled in Zhu Jinlun's arms, crying profusely, and muttered in her mouth: "Second young master...... You're finally here. ”

Du Juan's expression changed greatly, knowing that things were not good, he quickly knelt down with a puff, looked up at Zhu Jinlun, and was so excited that tears fell, and tried to explain: "Second young master, the slave maid didn't do anything, she made it herself, and the slave didn't ...... The slave and maid have no ......"

However, the scene in front of her is too clear and too strong to allow for any explanation, and no matter how much she says, it will be useless and meaningless.
