Chapter 161: The Capital (5)

Although I don't know whether they are dead or alive, the blood stains under those people are bright red, and the red is a little dazzling.

Shen Yuechen gasped and hurriedly opened her eyes, but fortunately, Zhu Jintang also stood in front of her in time and blocked her vision.

Zhu Jintang held her shoulders and said, "It's okay, I'll help you go up and rest." ”

Shen Yuechen nodded slightly, her face turned pale, and she didn't speak from beginning to end. She was really scared. In any case, this is the first time she has encountered such a scene in her life.

After Zhu Jintang returned to the room with her, he looked her whole body up and down, and saw that she was fine except for her pale face, and her tense heart was relieved.

Cuixin and Chun Ming followed up tremblingly, and Mother Wu was the first to walk up to Shen Yuechen and asked, "Is Miss okay?" Scared, right? ”

Shen Yuechen's mind was still a little messy, and it took a moment to raise his head, and when he saw that the people in the room were all looking at him with concern, he hurriedly pretended to be calm and said, "I'm fine." ”

That being said, when Zhu Jintang held her hand, her palm was still cold.

Zhu Jintang groaned slightly, warmed her hands and said, "You can rest in the room, I'll go down and have a look first." ”

Shen Yuechen subconsciously grabbed his hand and said with some force: "Uncle, be careful." ”

Those people are not good, what if there are accomplices or helpers?

Zhu Jintang patted the back of her hand as if soothingly, and said "um" softly.

Shen Yuechen looked at Zhu Jintang's back, her eyebrows and eyes were worried.

At this time, in the lobby, the few people who were knocked down by Xie Wuwu's men had already been dragged away, leaving only a long trail of blood.

Xie Wuwu commanded his subordinates with a comfortable expression, cleaned everything up, and in a few moments, he washed away the blood stains on the ground, and even the fishy smell was gone.

Zhu Jintang stood at the top of the stairs, quietly observing Xie Wuwu's every move.

He's a little too calm, so calm that it's terrifying.

Those people just now clearly came for Xie Wuwu's life, and it looked like they were looking for revenge.

However, it seems that Xie Wuwu has already noticed that something is wrong with the people at that table, so he suddenly appeared, causing them to be impatient and start directly.

Although the final result was safe, in the process, it inexplicably made him and Shen Yuechen take a lot of risks. For such a situation, Zhu Jintang was very dissatisfied in his heart, and could even be said to be very angry.

Xie Wuwu can be said to be friends all over the world, and similarly, enemies are also all over the world. Throughout the year, he doesn't know how many times he will encounter such dangerous things, but every time he can save the day and get through it safely. It's not that he's lucky, but that he has a lot of masters around him, although they seem to be dressed as ordinary guys, but all of them are skilled, and their movements are as fast as lightning, and they often protect Xie Wuwu's side immediately at the moment of danger, protecting him thoroughly.

Xie Wuwu knew that Zhu Jintang was very taboo about such a bloody and dangerous scene, and his tone was a little helpless, and he also said with some guilt: "Brother Zhu, you and your wife were frightened, are you okay?" ”

Shen Yuechen's first impression was that she was a delicate and weak woman, and her face was pale, which was really worrying.

Zhu Jintang frowned slightly, and said coldly: "What's going on?" Has Brother Xie had a grudge against anyone recently? ”

Xie Wuwu smiled helplessly: "Brother Zhu, there are too many people who hate me Xie Wuwu in this world, and I can't even count them myself." ”

Zhu Jintang said in a deep voice: "That is the case, please also ask Brother Xie to think twice." Although you are not afraid of things, however, Hades is better than a little ghost, and there is no need to provoke death and provoke those of unknown origin for that little silver. ”

Xie Wuwu said lightly: "I'll do my best, you also know that I am destined to eat this bowl of rice without risks." "Risk and silver have never been inseparable things for him.

Zhu Jintang said more to no avail, so he only said: "Early tomorrow morning, my wife and I will set off on time, and ask my eldest brother to take care of it for me, don't do anything like this again." ”

Xie Wuwu nodded again and again, patted his chest and promised: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely take care of everything for you." Also, I just ask you to apologize to my younger brother and sister on my behalf, so that she was frightened. ”

Zhu Jintang nodded silently, turned around and went up to the guest room on the second floor, only to see that Shen Yuechen was sitting at the table drinking soothing tea, his face softened a lot, but his eyes were still a little stunned, and he couldn't slow down.

When Shen Yuechen saw him coming back, the expression on his face relaxed a little, and said in a soothing tone: "Is it okay already?" How is Boss Xie? ”

Zhu Jintang sat opposite her and said lightly: "Well, it's just some little minions who make trouble, just take it away." ”

He deliberately brushed the matter aside so lightly, not wanting her to be scared and worried.

Shen Yuechen hesitated slightly before saying, "This is the best." ”

In fact, she knew very well in her heart that those people had seen blood on their bodies, and it was estimated that there was a chance that they would be dead now......

Zhu Jintang saw that she was still panicked, so he said, "Let's set off on the road early tomorrow morning, don't worry." ”

When Shen Yuechen heard this, she smiled a little reluctantly.

In the evening, the two of them went to bed early.

Shen Yuechen was lying on the bed, constantly repeating the scenes that happened during the day in her mind, and she actually had some insomnia.

She hesitated for a moment before she took the initiative to take Zhu Jintang's hand and said softly, "Can you hold hands and sleep?" ”

It's already a bit hot, and if you hug each other, you'll only make people sweat.

When Zhu Jintang heard this, he was slightly stunned, closed his eyes for a long time and didn't react, and after a while, he held her hand back and said, "Are you so scared?" ”

When Shen Yuechen heard this, she secretly said in her heart: Seeing the scene of killing, who wouldn't feel afraid?

Although she thought so in her heart, she said: "Well, there is always a feeling of living in a black store, and I am a little uneasy." ”

Dark shop? Zhu Jintang heard these two words, and for some reason, he vaguely wanted to laugh, but he still held back the next second.

The two of them held hands and fell asleep peacefully, so that they did not say anything all night.

The next morning, the couple was ready to go. Before leaving, Xie Wuwu personally brought someone to see him off, and after a night, Shen Yuechen's mind was much calmer, and his attitude towards him was as gentle and polite as ever, and he did not show any slackness and rudeness.

Xie Wuwu was slightly surprised, she thought that she would be frightened by yesterday's events, but she didn't expect to return to normal so quickly.

Xie Wuwu smiled faintly, looked at Zhu Jintang, and said meaningfully: "Brother Zhu, you are really blessed, a good wife is like this, what more can a husband ask for!" ”

When he said this, Shen Yuechen had already sat in the car, but he still felt a little awkward, and looking at his wrinkled smiling face through the thin curtain was even more weird.

Starting from the inn, I went north along the official road, and walked for nearly three days before finally arriving at the capital.

Shen Yuechen raised his eyes and looked at the tall city tower in the distance, and said with a slight emotion in his heart: "It's finally here, it's really not easy to walk this way." ”

When the carriage was about to enter the city gate, Zhu Jintang suddenly spoke: "Once you enter that city gate, everything will be different. ”

Shen Yuechen was slightly surprised, slightly puzzled. However, when the carriage passed through the city gate, she suddenly understood the meaning of Zhu Jintang's words.

The roots of the imperial city at the feet of the Son of Heaven are a place full of power and desire, where the air, the smell, the sound, everything is very different.

Shen Yuechen involuntarily took a deep breath, feeling very strange, perhaps because of the psychological effect, it seemed that a heavy and rich breath could be smelled from the air, like the smell of metal, and like the smell of conspiracy.

The Zhu family has always had a business in the capital, so there is no need to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation. However, this time, the husband and wife came to the capital to save their relatives, so naturally it was not suitable to live in the inn, and Mrs. Shen had already prepared a room for them to rest in Shen Zhiyun's new mansion.

Ever since Mrs. Shen learned that Shen Yuechen and Zhu Jintang were coming over together, she had always taken this matter to heart.

Shen Zhiyun is now a Beijing official, and he goes to the court every day to do things, and the place where he lives naturally can't be too far away from the palace.

Shen Zhiyun's new mansion is in an alley in the east of the city, although the place is not as large as the previous mansion in Laizhou, but it is still spacious and decent. After all, the capital is not as good as Laizhou, every inch of land is expensive here, unless it is a relative of the emperor or a member of the first class, it is difficult to enjoy that dignity.

When Shen Yuechen first arrived in the capital, he felt fresh and lively when he saw everything, and compared with Texas, the people here did not know how many times more, and the shops along the street were all gorgeously decorated, full of guests, and the people who did small business on both sides of the road also had their own accents and characteristics, and they knew that they came from different places at a glance.

Shen Yuechen looked out the window and couldn't help but let out a sigh: "The capital is really the capital!" ”

When Zhu Jintang heard this, he said lightly: "Let's go to my father-in-law's mansion today to disturb for a day, and tomorrow you will visit my eldest aunt with me." ”

Shen Yuechen's heart moved slightly. Is she going to Ruan's house? It stands to reason that she, as a junior, should go over to visit to show respect, but when she thought that they were a meritorious family, she began to be slightly nervous.

This time I went back to my parents' house, and it was different from the last time. Shen Yuechen already had very little preparation in his heart, and Zhu Jintang was the same.

The carriage drove all the way to the east of the city, and the accompanying little maid gently knocked on the door of the Shen family before the carriage arrived.

The little guy who came to answer the door, when he saw Zhu Jintang, who was riding a tall horse and had extraordinary instruments, immediately greeted him with a smile, and saluted him: "The little one asks my aunt to say goodbye." ”

After seeing it, Shen Yuechen took the maid's hand and got out of the carriage, and continued: "The little one asks for the eldest lady." ”

Shen Yuechen glanced at him, and seeing that he was a little familiar, he smiled slightly and said, "Are the old lady and the old man at home?" ”

Seeing that she took the initiative to talk to herself, the little maid hurriedly said, "The old man has gone on a business trip, and the old lady and the lady are waiting for you and your aunt in the upper room." ”

Shen Yuechen and Zhu Jintang glanced at each other, and walked towards the courtyard with their subordinates.

Here is a typical courtyard house, three in and three out, the yard is square, there are flowers and plants planted inside, it is newly planted at a glance, and the soil on the ground has just been renovated.

At this time, when Mrs. Shen heard that Shen Yuechen had arrived, she relaxed slightly, silently recited the Buddha, and looked forward to it for more than half a month, but it could be regarded as looking forward to the two of them.

Seeing her excited look, Yao said with a smile: "Yuechen, this kid, is really kind to your old man, and he came over as soon as he received it." ”

It was rare for Mrs. Shen to hear her praise Shen Yuechen, smiled faintly, and whispered: "When you see your uncle later, you should be careful when you speak, don't embarrass Yuechen's child." ”

When Yao heard this, he replied with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, I'm measured." ”

While speaking, Zhu Jintang and Shen Yuechen had already arrived.

Old Lady Shen stood up slowly, only to see that Shen Yuechen looked at herself with a smile and shouted affectionately: "Grandmother." ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Mrs. Shen's eyes, after not seeing her for a few months, Shen Yuechen's complexion looked a lot ruddy, and she also gained a little fatter, and she didn't look as thin and thin as before.

Zhu Jintang is still the same, full of luxury and calm.

Old Lady Shen didn't wait for Shen Yuechen to salute her, and hurriedly beckoned her to come over to her, gently hugged her in her arms, and said in a gentle tone: "Oh, my good boy, grandmother is worried about you!" Was it okay all the way? ”

The old lady's excitement is not entirely dramatic.

Before, before she moved from Texas to the capital, it was like seeing Shen Yuechen, but unfortunately the time was too rushed, and she didn't take time out, so she had to give up.

I haven't seen her for half a year, and the old lady has always been very relieved of her, firstly because of her body, and secondly, because too many things have happened recently, and I always want to communicate with her and make friends.

Shen Yuechen threw herself into Mrs. Shen's arms, and then smelled the faint scent of sandalwood on her body, and suddenly felt a little more familiar in her heart.

Yao stood aside, putting all his eyes and attention on Zhu Jintang's body, his eyes flashing slightly.

I heard before that the Zhu family is a sharp-eyed person, whether he is a human or a ghost, a treacherous or a deceitful, and he has never been able to hide his eyes. However, now that I look at it, he is also a clumsy person, and he has been married for more than a year, and he has not even discovered the big problem with his wife, and he doesn't know if he is really smart or hypocritical.

From the day he knew that Shen Yuechen's health was not good, the Yao family silently made a bet with himself in his heart, betting that Shen Yuechen, who would not be able to give birth to a child in a year, would be kicked out of the house by the Zhu family!

However, now that the time of the year is almost up, instead of separating, the two of them came over to save their relatives affectionately, which was really much beyond her expectations.

Zhu Jintang is just clumsy, how can the whole family be so indifferent to Shen Yuechen?

The more Yao thought about it, the more incomprehensible she felt, and it wasn't until Ruan Linluo of the Ruan family was made a concubine that she gave up this bet, thinking that if Shen Yuechen could stay in the Zhu family all the time, it would be a good thing to hide it like this and live it.

Shen Yuechen and Mrs. Shen hugged each other slightly, and then separated, even if they were happy, the rules should not be forgotten, and they still had to salute first.

Zhu Jintang and Shen Yuechen saluted together, but Old Lady Shen kept asking them to sit down and talk.

"You're all tired all the way, this will be in your own home, just be comfortable."

The maids brought tea, they were all people who had just entered the house, and they only heard that the eldest lady and aunt were coming, but it was the first time they had seen it. Therefore, while serving tea and snacks, they secretly glanced at the two of them a few times, and saw that they were talented and beautiful, and they were very compatible, their eyes flashed slightly, and they suddenly had a plan in their hearts.

Usually on an errand in the house, I only think that the second lady is a first-class beauty, but unfortunately her personality is not good, and sometimes she is rude and willful, which makes people feel unbearable. Now looking at the eldest lady, it is completely opposite to the second miss, she looks quiet and quiet, although her appearance is not outstanding than the second miss, but she has a delicate beauty. Moreover, my uncle is also handsome and tall, and he is a talent.

Shen Yuechen clearly saw the thoughtful eyes of the maids, and was a little embarrassed.

Every time she comes back, once the Shen Mansion is replaced, she will be looked at by everyone like this.

Old Mrs. Shen looked at the two of them and said with emotion: "Son-in-law, I haven't seen you for a few months, but I'm a little thin when I look at you." ”

When Zhu Jintang faced the elders, he said respectfully: "I'm tired of the old lady, I'm fine." ”

Old Lady Shen smiled when she heard this, and said to Shen Yuechen: "Yuechen, you have to take good care of your grandson-in-law, and as a wife, you have to take good care of your husband's body." ”

Although this is a scene, as an elder, since he said it, the younger generation naturally nodded yes.

Shen Yuechen was a little embarrassed, and only said: "My granddaughter knows, and I will pay more attention to it in the future." ”

She originally just wanted to echo a sentence casually, but she didn't expect Zhu Jintang to suddenly speak: "Don't worry, old lady, Yuechen has done a good job, and she never needs to worry about family affairs." ”

Old Lady Shen and Shen Yuechen were both slightly stunned when they heard this. One is novel, the other is unexpected.

Zhu Jintang is not a person who talks a lot, and he rarely says good things for others.

Old Lady Shen and Yao Shi exchanged a look, and the old lady said with a smile: "Well, my grandson-in-law is true, the best advantage of my granddaughter is to be careful." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Jintang nodded approvingly.

Yao sighed twice in his heart: "Looking at it like this, the relationship between the two of them is not bad." People can't look good, they used to be like a stuffy gourd in the Shen family, but they didn't expect to have a good time in their in-laws' house, not to mention that they were loved by Zhu Jintang so quickly. ”

Shen Yuechen lowered her head slightly by drinking tea, not wanting people to see her face getting redder and redder.

Old Mrs. Shen knew that she was thin-skinned, so she immediately changed the topic and said, "Your father will come back later, and the room where you two will rest is ready." ”

Zhu Jintang nodded, and motioned to his entourage to present the prepared gifts one by one.

The gift prepared by the Zhu family is naturally the best.

Mrs. Shen opened the gift box one by one to check, and saw that it was full of high-quality things, including tonic supplements, gold and silver jewelry, and antique jade specially prepared for Shen Zhiyun, which was very gorgeous.
