Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 113 Infant (3)

Shen Yuechen smiled, reached out and touched Zhu Ying's head, Zhu Ying frowned a few times, opened her eyes quickly, and softly called "Mother."

Shen Yuechen patted her lightly, and said softly: "Go on to sleep."

This will be carried back, the children blew the cold wind, and they must catch a cold.

Zhu Ying murmured in response, and then fell asleep again.

Seeing that the siblings were sleeping soundly, the old lady said with a smile, "Let the two little ones sleep with me tonight."

Shen Yuechen smiled and said: "Alright."

Mother Yang personally took the children to the left corner room, where there were burning charcoal pots in the four corners of the room, which were very warm.

After the old lady finished her tea, she asked Mama Yang to explain to Li Shi and Chai Shi about adding or subtracting things at home during the Chinese New Year.

Mama Yang carefully replied: "According to the family's old rules, years ago, the two masters and two wives of the family each made 24 sets of new clothes, six sets each for spring, summer, autumn and winter. The eldest and second young masters each made [-] sets of clothes. Two sets, ten sets of new clothes for the eldest and young mistress, four sets of new clothes for the rest of the aunts, three sets of skirt jackets for each housewife, two sets of skirt jackets for each eldest maid, one set of skirt jackets for each second-class maid, and one set of skirt jackets for each of the younger maids and coarse maids. The mother-in-law will each be rewarded with one bolt of fine cotton cloth, and the servant and the nurse will each be rewarded with two bolts of cotton cloth."

After Mama Yang finished speaking, she paused for a while, "Eldest Madam and Second Madam, do you think this is okay?"

Li Shi and Chai Shi looked at each other and nodded: "Let's do it according to the old routine."

When it comes to New Year's Eve, money is spent everywhere.According to the wishes of the old man and the old lady, this year is going to be a big deal again, and it will inevitably cost several thousand taels of silver... Mama Yang nodded and continued: "As the New Year is approaching, the old lady ordered the daily expenses of each house and house to be paid. Everything is doubled. In addition to tea, porcelain, lacquerware, folding fans and all kinds of gold and silver utensils suitable for the occasion, if there is anything special that needs to be added, please let the two ladies think carefully before letting the old slave know."

Li Shi pondered slightly: "There is nothing missing at home, but I don't have anything I want to add? Brother and sister, what do you think?"

Chai smiled faintly: "The old lady usually rewards so many good things, I can't think of anything to add or subtract, let's give it to the younger generation."

Li Shi set an example first and said nothing, so Chai naturally wouldn't be too troublesome.

After hearing what the second daughter-in-law said, the old lady smiled while holding the teacup: "You all say no more, and that child Yuechen will naturally say something." After speaking, she looked at Shen Yuechen again and said, "I know you I don’t want anything, just add an extra set of jewelry as usual.”

Shen Yuechen nodded in response, and after standing up straight, he was blessed with a warm smile and said, "Thank you, old lady."

Sun Wenpei has been sitting by the side and listening silently. On such an occasion, according to her status, she is naturally not qualified to intervene.

The old lady rewarded Shen Yuechen with jewelry, but she didn't say what she was going to reward her, which made her feel a little awkward.

Sun Wenpei touched her swollen belly, and thought: The doctor said that her fetal phase is stable, and it is very likely that she will conceive a boy.In a few months, she will give birth to this son safely.The old lady will definitely look at her with admiration.

After eating the lively hot pot, Zhu Jintang, Shen Yuechen, and Sun Wenpei went back to the west courtyard together.

When he got to the door, Sun Wenpei suddenly took Zhu Jintang's arm, and said happily: "My concubine, I asked someone to draw a picture of a hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren a few days ago. Do you want to go and have a look?"

After Sun Wenpei finished speaking, she looked at Zhu Jintang expectantly. Zhu Jintang was a little tired and didn't like to accompany her in the past, but Shen Yuechen smiled beside her and said, "I heard that my sister's fetus has been moving a lot these past two days. Grandpa, please go and see her." It's good to see."

Seeing her speaking for herself, Sun Wenpei couldn't help being slightly taken aback, and hurriedly said: "That's right, the uncle spends more time with the concubine, that is to spend more time with the child in the concubine's womb."

Zhu Jintang's brows moved slightly, he gave Sun Wenpei a displeased look, and then said lightly: "It's too late today, I'll go see you tomorrow."

When Sun Wenpei heard this, the smile on his face faded a bit, and he nodded with a smile immediately: "Yes, the concubine will not disturb the rest of the uncle and grandma, and the concubine will leave."

Shen Yuechen glanced at Zhu Jintang strangely, then smiled slightly at Mrs. Sun, without making a sound.

Even if Mrs. Sun lost her sense of propriety today, she worked hard to conceive a child for him, and there was hard work without credit.

As soon as Zhu Jintang entered the room, he took off the crane cloak on his body and stood beside the charcoal basin to warm his hands.

Shen Yuechen was holding a hand warmer along the way, his hands were not cold, but his little face was flushed red.Zhu Jintang had just warmed his hands, then turned around and held her face in his hands, covering her face.

In front of the maids, Shen Yuechen felt a little embarrassed, slightly lowered her head, her thick and slender eyelashes cast a faint shadow under her eyes.

There was a charcoal pot burning in the house, and it was as warm as spring, and my body warmed up quickly.

Shen Yuechen immediately remembered something, Pai Cuixin went to inform Aunt Cao, told her that Zhu Ying would rest in the old lady's room tonight, and told her not to wait.

Cuixin went away in response, but was stopped by Shen Yuechen halfway, "It's cold outside, put on more clothes before crossing, don't freeze."

When the New Year is approaching, if you get sick, you will get into bad luck and be disgusted by others.

Zhu Jintang was sitting at the table eating tea. Hearing this, he couldn't help raising his head and said, "Why bother sending someone to make a fuss. It's so late, she must have gone to bed early."

Shen Yuechen shook his head slightly, took a sip of tea, and said gently: "If the child doesn't come back, the mother must be worried."

After a while, Cui Xin reported the letter back, and said through the bed curtain: "Miss is really careful, Aunt Cao has not slept and waited."

Shen Yuechen turned over and said, "Well, I got it, you guys go down too."

Zhu Jintang lay on her side, touched his nose with his hand, then looked at Shen Yuechen beside her, and said calmly: "I really married a good wife."

Shen Yuechen lay flat on her body, and smiled slightly: "I can't bear the praise of the uncle. I'm just comparing my heart with my heart. I'm also a mother, so I can naturally understand the longing between mother and child."

Zhu Jintang was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, then smiled lightly, and stopped talking.

Shen Yuechen was still waiting for him to speak, turned over to face him, looked into his ink-like eyes, hesitated for a moment and said: "Master, I want to ask you something."

Zhu Jintang raised his eyebrows and smiled when he heard this, and said, "You actually have something to ask me? This is something new, so let's hear it first."

Shen Yuechen purposely moved closer to him, and said in a soft voice: "Brother Ming, that child is getting older day by day, and I want to get closer to him, so I want to ask the uncle to plead with the lady for my concubine..." After Brother Ming reaches the age of one, can I let my concubine raise her personally..."

Zhu Jintang looked at Shen Yuechen with a slightly surprised expression on his face, pondered for a moment and said: "This matter is not easy to handle."

Brother Ming has been raised by his mother since he was born, and his mother must not be willing to part with it.After all, Brother Ming is the only grandson and the only root of the Changfang.

"Good, why did you bring this up?"

To be honest, Zhu Jintang had some doubts about Shen Yuechen's motives.Brother Ming was not her own after all, why did she have to do such a thankless thing, even if she wanted to show virtuousness, it was a bit too much.

Shen Yuechen looked at the subtle changes in his face, and vaguely guessed that he was worried about him, so he continued: "Although brother Ming is not my own, I have always been his mother. It is only natural for a mother to take care of her son. How can you always bother the elders in the family?"

It's not enough to just say nice things, Zhu Jintang is not that easy to lie, he has to say something real.

Shen Yuechen paused slightly, "Besides, I don't have the kindness to give birth to brother Ming. If I don't have the kindness to raise him, he will become more and more distant from me when he grows up... between mother and child, it should be It’s the heart-to-heart connection. Therefore, I want to take more responsibility for him and raise him well.”

Hearing this, Zhu Jintang frowned slightly, somewhat understanding what she was thinking.

As the saying goes, the mother is more expensive than the child.She is young and does not have any children of her own. Now that Mrs. Sun is pregnant, she must be under pressure, so she wants to ask Brother Ming to come over and rely on her.

Sun's birth was very critical. If a boy was born, then the pressure on the long house's heirs would be eased a lot.But if it's a girl, then it's meaningless, everyone's hope will continue to be placed on Shen Yuechen, waiting for her to spread the branches and leaves for the Zhu family.

Shen Yuechen couldn't express everything in his heart.

Zhu Jintang was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "I understand what you're thinking. However, it's better not to mention brother Ming's matter for the time being. Let's see more after the new year."

Shen Yuechen gave a soft "hmm" when he heard the words. "The concubine knows."

Ming Ge'er is the lifeblood of the Zhu family, so he has some concerns about her.However, as far as the sincerity is concerned, gold and stone are open.If you can't do it once, ask twice, there will always be a day when Zhu Jintang and Li Shi will nod.

Zhu Jintang turned over and stopped talking to her. He just looked into the bed and said calmly after a while, "Don't worry too much about Brother Ming. Right now, the most important thing you should worry about is to make yourself hurry up." Pregnant! The one born by Mrs. Sun is just a concubine, and only you are the concubine."

Zhu Jintang's words filled Shen Yuechen with mixed feelings.He might have wanted to comfort her, but in the end he accidentally poked a sore spot in her heart.

Concubine and concubine are different... Shen Yuechen has never understood the meaning of this sentence so deeply.

The same ten months of pregnancy, the same flesh and blood body, but before it was born, it has already been rigidly labeled by its relatives... The two people who are sharing the same bed, the thoughts at this moment are completely different. different.

Shen Yuechen was silently worrying about her future, but in Zhu Jintang's view, it would be a matter of time before she gave birth to his son.

In the words of the old man, the family's business will prosper only when the offspring of the long house reproduce.

Even though Shen Yuechen's heart is very good, Brother Ming absolutely cannot be kept by her side.

Because it's good for her, good for Brother Ming, good for everyone, and it can also make everyone feel at ease.

Suddenly, Zhu Jintang felt a little irritable, because this was the first time he saw her ambition.

She wanted Brother Ming to be her reliance, but she didn't think that he was her real reliance.

The two have been married for less than half a year, these days, Shen Yuechen always looks like a docile and well-behaved little daughter, speaking and acting well-behaved and quiet.He likes women who are quiet and obedient, who don't talk too much, don't worry about things, and can stay at home to care for their husband and children, manage housework, and don't let him worry about it.
