The night is deep and dewy, and the moon is half bent.

Shen Yuechen still didn't feel sleepy, she leaned on the soft pillow and sat on the bed, thinking about Brother Ming's family affairs all the time.

The old lady and her aunt have already exchanged tokens and settled the matter.

However, such a decision is not too child's play.

Shen Yuechen lowered her eyes slightly, and didn't say a word for a long time.

Zhu Jintang seemed to be asleep lying on the side, and seeing that the people around him had never moved, he opened his eyes and looked at her, and said, "Why don't you sleep yet?" ”

Shen Yuechen was in a trance for a moment before saying, "I'll sleep right away." Xu Yes, I drank too much tea at night, and I was a little refreshed. ”

Zhu Jintang turned over, looked at him with one hand, and said, "Is there something on your mind?" ”

Shen Yuechen originally wanted to say no, but after hesitating, she still said, "The old lady and aunt have set up a family affair for our brother Ming today. ”

Between husband and wife, there should not be too many things on their minds. Moreover, the reason why Zhu Jintang asked this must have been from her expression. So, she didn't tell the truth.

Zhu Jintang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and only then did he react: "Family matter? You mean baby pro? ”

Shen Yuechen nodded, "Brother Ming is not yet four years old." I heard that the great-granddaughter of my aunt's family has just turned one year old. ”

Zhu Jintang's brows furrowed slightly, but then relaxed.

He has heard a lot of this kind of thing, although he feels surprised, but it is not unacceptable.

"My aunt and grandmother are kind and want to kiss us, which is a good thing. It's just that the children are still so young, and it's okay to decide a few years later. ”

Zhu Jintang heard a little uneasiness in her tone, and only said, "Looking at your appearance, it seems that you are very worried." Are you worried about Brother Ming? ”

Shen Yuechen shook her head slightly: "The concubine is not worried, but I feel that everything was decided in too haste." ”

Zhu Jintang said lightly: "It's really in a hurry." However, the elders just like it. Actually, if you think about it, it's also a good thing. ”

Shen Yuechen raised her eyes to look at him, waiting for him to continue.

"My aunt's husband's Xu family is in Jingzhou, and they are also a famous family. Ancestors once had a big official and a solid family background, and now, they are engaged in the tea business, as well as homemade flower tea, and they are not small. Zhu Jintang said slowly: "The eldest son of the Zhu family, it is better to get married sooner rather than later. The sooner Brother Ming gets married, the sooner he can mature and help manage family affairs. ”

As the saying goes, start a family. first started a family, then started a business, and Zhu Jintang also took over most of the business from his father after getting married.

Shen Yuechen just smiled slightly when she heard this, and said in her heart, I hope so.

Tomorrow she will tell Brother Ming about this in person, and I don't know how he will react.

……

Early the next morning, Shen Yuechen first took the children to greet the elders as usual.

Xu Yes, because he married Brother Ming.

When the elders in the family saw him, they couldn't help but tease him.

Brother Ming didn't take it seriously at first, but felt that he was just joking. But unexpectedly, after returning to the west courtyard, Shen Yuechen personally called him to him, and then told him about the marriage.

Brother Ming was stunned for a few seconds before he smiled incredulously. "Mother, aren't you joking with your son?"

Since, after they expressed their attitudes and intentions to each other, no matter before or after others, Brother Ming directly called her "mother", and she paid attention to her words and deeds, and she no longer did whatever she wanted like before.

Shen Yuechen also hoped that he was telling a joke, but unfortunately he wasn't.

"It happened suddenly. Originally, it was just a joke of the elders, but in the end, everyone took it seriously, and it was directly given. ”

Brother Ming'er's eyes widened, and he shook his head and said, "How can it be done?" Marriage events, how can it be such a child's play. ”

Shen Yuechen smiled helplessly and said, "In this era, such a marriage is very common. I know you don't want to, but that's what the elders mean......"

Before she finished her words, Brother Ming objected: "No, no." It's ridiculous, how can I marry a woman I've never met, I don't even know what she looks like? What character? ”

Shen Yuechen saw that his voice continued to improve, so he made a small gesture. "Look at your aggrieved face. I don't know, I thought we were going to force you to marry an ugly bastard. The great-granddaughter of my aunt's family is not ugly, it is said that the child has beautiful facial features, and everyone says that she must be a beautiful embryo when she grows up. ”

When Brother Ming heard this, his expression eased slightly, but he still shook his head and said, "It's still not possible." Mother, you know, I'm different from ordinary children, I'm ...... In short, I can't marry someone I don't know. ”

No matter how similar he looks like on the outside, no matter how true he is, he is still an adult in his bones and can't accept such a thing.

For him, it's not just a question of who to marry and who not to marry? Instead, he didn't want his life to be hastily arranged like this.

Shen Yuechen sighed softly: "I can understand your feelings." However, the matter has come to this, whether you want it or not, this family business cannot be invalidated. ”

When Brother Ming heard this, he suddenly sat down on the chair like a wilted eggplant, wrinkled, pouted, and muttered to himself: "It's not fair, it's so unfair......"

Shen Yuechen said: "You don't think too badly. My aunt's husband's family is also a prestigious family, and the etiquette rules are naturally exquisite. Therefore, when that child grows up, he must be a gentle and decent lady, strictly speaking, it is not considered to have wronged you. ”

To be honest, compared to worrying about Brother Ming, Shen Yuechen was more worried about her daughter-in-law who had not yet entered the door.

Shen Yuechen groaned slightly, and continued: "A woman has been a husband all her life, and you won't understand this hard work. Therefore, no matter what happens in the future, do not act willfully, lest you hurt those who should not be hurt. ”

Although he was aggrieved, thinking about the little baby who was still in swaddling clothes and didn't understand personnel, she wasn't a hundred times more aggrieved than Brother Ming, a thousand times......

Brother Ming sat on the side dejectedly, and did not respond for a long time.

He had never thought about getting married, and right now, what he was most anxious about was to grow taller and grow up quickly.

Brother Ming looked down at his body with short hands and legs, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

It's really ...... that when you're still a little kid, you actually walked on the peach blossom luck inexplicably It's really speechless.

Seeing his sullen appearance, Shen Yuechen hurriedly raised his hand and touched his head, and said comfortingly: "Okay, okay, don't be wronged." Marriage needs to be managed and maintained slowly, as long as you are willing to put your heart into it. ”

When Brother Ming heard this, he glanced up at her and said, "Not everyone can be as lucky as Daddy to meet someone like you." ”

Everyone has been together for so long, and Brother Ming feels that he is a lucky person from the bottom of his heart. Just imagine, if he hadn't met Shen Yuechen at the beginning, what would his life have become? What will become of the Zhu family?

If he can choose in the future, he also wants to choose a wife like Shen Yuechen. Although he hasn't done anything vigorous, he can keep the most ordinary days and survive the most difficult difficulties.

Shen Yuechen listened to Brother Ming'er's words, and was about to speak, when he saw the maids coming to change the tea, he stopped talking and drank the tea quietly.

A few days later, news came from Jingzhou, saying that the eldest grandson and granddaughter-in-law of my aunt had heard about the marriage and decided to bring her baby daughter, who had just turned one year old, to visit the Zhu family.

It seems that the whims of the three old men couldn't help but surprise the Zhu family, and even the Xu family felt abrupt.

The eldest son of my aunt, surnamed Xu Mingran, is slightly younger than Zhu Jintang, and he is twenty-five this year. It is said that he is a very good person.

Xu Ran's wife entered the door less than two years ago, and the Xu family gave birth to a daughter, although it is a daughter, but because it is the first child, it is valued and loved by the family.

Xu Ran named the child Xu Nianen, nicknamed En'en, only to feel that she was a gift from God to herself and the Xu family.

However, a letter from their grandmother made them a little panicked, and the child, who had just turned one year old, was already about to get engaged, which really made Xu Ran, a first-time father, and Liang, a first-time mother, feel a little unacceptable.

Although Jingzhou is thousands of miles away from Texas, the Zhu family's reputation is outside, and they are the imperial relatives who are involved in the border, and they are the grandmother's maiden family, so the Xu family still knows something about them.

Xu Ran thought about it, but decided to take his wife and daughter over to have a look, which was better than a letter.

They took a boat all the way by water, passed through several small towns, rested for a while, and it took a month and a half before they arrived in Texas.

At this time, Texas is already April in the world.

Spring is bright and the flowers are blooming just right, which is a good time to visit relatives and friends.

Take off the heavy cotton jacket, put on light and bright spring clothes, blow the warm breeze, smell the flowers, and make people's spirits refreshed.

Xu Ran and his wife Liang sat in a carriage for half a day before they came to the gate of Zhu's house.

The ancestral house of the Zhu family is an old house with a history of more than 100 years, but because it was renovated a few years ago, it does not look old, but gives people a strong sense of heaviness.

Zhu Jintang personally came to the door to greet him, Xu Ran and he were cousins, so the two of them still called each other "cousin" and "cousin" according to their seniority. And Xu Ran's wife, Liang, also called Shen Yuechen "cousin-in-law".

Liang's age doesn't look very old, at most fifteen or sixteen years old, and he is small, and he is a little afraid of life, and he will blush and be very shy when he sees someone.
