Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 107 - The Family (3)

It's called a fat job, but don't you know that it's just a false name, and you can spend all your money without any effort, and you can relax all day long.

Shen Yuechen was slightly taken aback, unexpectedly, even his father Shen Zhiyun also came along to help.

However, if you think about it, they are not only a family, but also a community of interests, and they should help each other.

"Your father, although he is not good at words, he still misses you very much. After all, you are his own flesh and blood."

The body is his flesh and blood, but unfortunately, the soul is not.

Shen Yuechen glanced at the old lady quietly: "Father's kindness, Yuechen will definitely keep it in his heart, and will not let you down."

Old Mrs. Shen nodded, and slowly smiled on her stern face just now. She was most concerned about Shen Yuechen's body, and secondly, the Zhu family's attitude towards her, especially Zhu Jintang.

"How is Young Master Zhu treating you? How are the old lady and the eldest lady treating you?"

Shen Yuechen nodded, and said honestly: "The uncle treats me very well, and the old lady and the eldest lady also love me very much. It can be said that they care for me."

Old Mrs. Shen felt a little more at ease, thinking of her docile and obedient appearance at home in the past, she was really likable, but it was a pity that she could not have children, otherwise, she would not be spoiled by the Zhu family in the future.

It's over, it's useless to think about it.

Old Mrs. Shen sighed softly, held her hand and said: "You have never acted like a baby, you worry too much and talk little, you will have to change it in the future, show your strength of knowing pain and heat Come on, coax your husband to be submissive. This woman must grasp her husband's heart well. With his favor, not to mention that your position in Zhu's family will become more and more stable, even in the future, if you really appear If something goes wrong, someone will back you up and deal with it."

Zhu Jintang is the eldest son of the eldest son, the future head of the family, as long as he is willing to say a word for his wife.Perhaps, everything is still negotiable.Moreover, she is the youngest mistress of the Zhu family who Ming Media is marrying in. Even though she is the second wife, she has passed the Ming way, and the quarrel is too stiff, and the face of the two families is not good.

Shen Yuechen understood her grandmother's meaning, and responded in a low voice.

The two talked for a while, and the maid outside the door said: "Old lady, the second master and the second wife are here."

After hearing the words, old lady Shen immediately looked at Shen Yuechen, and said, "It's so easy for you to come out for a while, I've finished what I need to say, let your second uncle and aunt come in to have a look at you."

While speaking, Shen Zhijian and Xiao Shi had already walked in one after the other, both of them had eager smiles on their faces.

Shen Yuechen hurriedly got up and saluted: "Yuechen pays respects to my second uncle and aunt."

Xiao Shi only smiled and helped her up and said, "Let me take a good look at it! It's amazing, we haven't seen each other for several months, our eldest girl seems to be a completely different person."

Shen Zhijian on the side smiled and said nothing, and couldn't help feeling that she had become a lot more pleasing to the eye.

Xiao paid the most attention to Shen Yuechen's attire, and inadvertently glanced at her hand, and saw that her index finger was wearing a red agate ring, which was small and exquisite, quite unique.

After all, the person who married into a famous family used to be full of sickness, but now he is full of nobility.

Xiao Shi was originally a chatterbox, so meeting Shen Yuechen, he naturally had a lot to talk about.

Shen Yuechen kept smiling lightly and listened to Xiao's gossip, but it was just how the old lady missed her, how well-behaved and sensible the sisters were, how the family was full of distinguished guests and bustling.

After the marriage between the Shen family and the Zhu family, there was an endless stream of guests, and their status is not what it used to be.Although Shen Zhiyun is in Laizhou, he has already started to get closer and closer to the dignitaries in the capital, and his official career will become smoother and smoother in the future.

After a while, Nanny Li came in and replied, "Old lady, we have already prepared the return gifts for our in-laws."

Mrs. Shen picked up the teacup and said, "It's all ready." After finishing speaking, she looked at Shen Yuechen again, "You are tired after tossing all morning, why don't you go and rest first."

Shen Yuechen smiled slightly: "I'm not tired, it's better to talk with grandma."

It's not easy for her to come back once, and the next time I see you, I'm afraid it won't be until the Chinese New Year.

Old Mrs. Shen finished what she had to say, and said, "Okay, since you're not tired, you should go back earlier, so as not to delay the time to pay your respects at night, and make your mother-in-law unhappy."

Just as Shen Yuechen had this intention, she stood up and saluted.

Old Mrs. Shen took her hand, and said earnestly: "Be careful in Zhu's house, and take good care of your health. If you encounter any difficulties, just ask Mama Wu to come back and let her know. The family will definitely plan for you. Don’t be tempted for a moment.”

Shen Yuechen nodded: "Grandson knows, please rest assured grandma."

Old Mrs. Shen sent someone to send her away, then walked to the bed by herself, looked at her thin back, and sighed deeply.

After sending Shen Yuechen away, Li Momo came in to reply, seeing that there seemed to be tears in the old lady's eyes, she unconsciously said, "What's wrong with the old lady, why are you crying? But what's wrong with the young lady?"

When Mrs. Shen heard the words, she immediately shook her head: "It's just that I rarely see her once, and I suddenly feel a little bit reluctant."

Nanny Li smiled faintly, and responded lightly, "Miss is already married as a woman, and the old lady is reluctant to let her go, and she can't keep her. The lady has a good fortune, and the old lady doesn't have to worry too much. And the master is planning outside."

The old lady Shen sighed again: "Yuechen is a good child, but... well, everything depends on her future fate."

After Shen Yuechen returned to the mansion, he went to wash and change his clothes first, and then it was time to light the lamps.

Just after the time passed, the maid at the old lady's side brought some exquisite side dishes and a pot of warm stewed chicken soup with mushrooms, and also brought the old lady's words, and asked her to eat in the room after dinner. Go to bed early, don't have to go over to say hello.

The old lady came here because she was thinking about her going back to her natal family, she was tired and inconvenient to make troubles.Secondly, I was afraid that she was really infected with sickness, and wanted her to take it easy.

Shen Yuechen listened carefully, so she didn't disobey the old lady's intention, and got up and ordered Chun Ming to send over the return gifts brought from her natal family.

The dishes brought by the old lady are suitable for meat and vegetables.

The cabbage heart is fresh, the squab is tender, the mushrooms are smooth, the beef is fragrant, and there is a pot of chicken soup with mushrooms that has been boiled for nearly two hours.

Shen Yuechen looked very comfortable, so he deliberately used more, and remembered his grandmother's explanation during the day, so he drank another bowl of soup.It was too much food, so after eating, she had no choice but to walk around the yard twice more, it was best to move or stay still.

Coincidentally, the old lady had just delivered the meal, and the old man ordered someone to deliver a small boxy brocade box, which he said was a gadget given by the old man to the grandma to relieve her boredom.

Shen Yuechen took the brocade box, and immediately remembered the gift the old man had said that day, and immediately opened it, only to see that there was a western pure gold pocket watch inside the box.

Shen Yuechen was slightly taken aback, she didn't expect that the treasure that the old man played up before would be a pocket watch.

The workmanship of this pocket watch is fine, the color is brand new, and the case is lightly engraved with gorgeous patterns. It is heavy in the hand, with a heavy sense of retro.

Although it was not difficult for her to see such things in her previous life, it was very rare in this life.

Shen Yuechen held the cool pocket watch, with a slight smile on his face, without making a sound.

The old man's mind is really different.

An inch of time is an inch of gold, the most precious thing in this world is time!

It's just that I don't know how long I can spend in Zhu's house?
Thinking of his unknown future fate, Shen Yuechen suddenly felt a little more urgent, and suddenly something came to his mind, and he called Wu Ma to him, and said, "Wu Ma, didn't I say before that I wanted to buy a few acres?" The field? There are too many trivial matters recently, and this matter has been delayed, and you will find a suitable opportunity later and help me pay attention."

Wu Ma paused when she heard the words, and then said again: "How much land does Miss want to buy?"

The lady hadn't mentioned the matter of buying land for a while, and now she brought it up again, afraid that she was making the worst plan in her heart, planning to leave Zhu's house.

Although the dowry is rich, it cannot be easily moved.

Shen Yuechen knew that he didn't have much savings, and the total amount was only more than 200 taels.According to the current market conditions outside, at most [-] mu of land can be purchased.However, you can't spend all your money, you have to save some money to live.

"At least ten mu of land is needed. We can buy it first to collect rent, or hire people to grow some grains and seasonal vegetables in the next spring. In short, don't just leave it empty."

She thought about it carefully, and it is not enough to just have money by her side. Buying a few more acres of land and buying a house can be regarded as leaving a way out for herself. Even if she is really divorced from the Zhu family in the future, she and Wu Mom and the others wouldn't have nowhere to go and be displaced.

When Mama Wu heard this, she felt bitter in her heart, but she said respectfully: "Yes, I will definitely settle this matter as soon as possible." After speaking, she looked at Shen Yuechen for a while, and then asked cautiously: " Miss, are you okay..."

"Of course I'm fine. Anyway, we have to live on in the future. I just want to leave us a way out, just in case. Mom, don't worry."

Reflecting the faint candlelight, Shen Yuechen's eyes were originally like autumn water, but at this moment they were like a bottomless pool, her eyes couldn't tell whether it was sadness or joy, just like her mood at this time, it was hidden.

Inexplicably, Wu Ma's heart ached, she deliberately turned around immediately, picked up the scissors and gently cut off the knotted lantern flowers: "It's late at night, miss should go to bed earlier."

"I'm not sleepy, you go to bed first." Shen Yuechen gave Mama Wu a faint smile to reassure her.

Upon hearing this, Wu Ma had no choice but to put on the gauze again to make the room brighter.

Shen Yuechen sat under the lamp, leaning on the pillow, looking at the gift list line by line.

Chun Ming took the cloak and put it on Shen Yuechen's shoulders, then took out the sewing basket, put on a thimble, and lowered her head to start sewing seriously.

Although Zhu's family has women who specialize in needlework, Shen Yuechen's personal clothing still has to be handled by people around him.

Wu Ma gently closed the door, stood outside the door, let out a long sigh, then went back to her own room, and pulled out a big black box under her bed. The box looked old and seemed to be old .

An old brass lock was attached to the old box.

Wu Ma took out a copper key from under the pillow and opened the big box. Inside were some old clothes, and they were children's clothes.
