Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 127 Mother and Son (3)

When Zhu Jintang heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, he no longer looked into her eyes, but just gathered his fingers together, holding her little hand tightly in his palm.

The full moon is in the sky, it is like lighting a bright lamp under a dark curtain, the brilliance is brilliant, and the snow on the ground is shining with a fine and moist brilliance.

The two stood quietly in the yard for a while, the evening wind gently blowing on the snow surface, rolled up tiny snowflakes, and blew their faces cool.

Shen Yuechen took a deep breath, exhaled a big cloud of white air, followed her to look at Zhu Jintang, and said: "Grandpa, try this too, it can relieve your mood."

Zhu Jintang glanced at her thoughtfully, then imitated her and took a deep breath. Sure enough, his dull heart suddenly felt a lot better.

Shen Yuechen then comforted him softly: "Master, don't worry too much."

Zhu Jintang gave a soft "huh": "Understood, you are the same. The person whose eyes were red from crying just now is still thinking of comforting others."

After saying this, he was silent for a few more seconds, and said in a muffled voice: "Thinking about Luo'er, although she is early and intelligent, she is still a child after all, so it is really worrying...We are still so worried, big aunt's How uncomfortable it must be in my heart!" At the end, he gave a shallow sigh, and that sigh was accompanied by the crushed snow, and slowly dissipated in the cold wind.

In the courtyard on the west side, Shen Yuechen didn't get up until dawn, and opened his pocket watch to see that it was only after six o'clock, but Zhu Jintang had already left for more than half an hour.

Last night, he kept tossing and turning, and he didn't sleep well. Now that he left the house early, the wind and cold dew were heavy, so he must not even have time to eat breakfast.

Shen Yuechen got up from the bed, and secretly blamed herself for getting lazy and sleeping so deeply, she should send him off in the morning.

She usually feels very light, and wakes up at the slightest movement, but recently, she is always lazy, and occasionally falls asleep, and she doesn't even know that Zhu Jintang is gone.

Chunming came over with her clothes in her hands, and said, "Master, he went out before dawn."

Shen Yuechen nodded slightly. He said last night that there are two big shopkeepers from foreign enemies coming to the dock today to claim their accounts.

After getting up, washing and changing clothes, I was busy again, saluting and greeting, and serving the elders.

Mr. Zhu played with the flowers and plants all night, and only lay down and squinted for a while before dawn.The old lady pulled herself together and said a few words to the children, telling everyone not to panic, everything is as usual, and prepare for the new year.

Seeing that the old lady was not in good spirits, Mrs. Li wanted to serve her for a few days, so she asked Shen Yuechen to take Brother Ming back to her yard and take care of her for a few days.

That child is usually the closest to her, so entrusting her to take care of her is naturally the most reassuring.

After everything was settled, Shen Yuechen went to Brother Ming's room.

Seeing her coming, Chang's mother immediately stood up and saluted, "Greetings to grandma."

Shen Yuechen nodded slightly, and beckoned her to sit down and talk.

Brother Ming had just taken a bath, and was carried in naked by the maid wrapped in a quilt, his little face was flushed, as if he was a little shy.

Seeing him coming, Shen Yuechen stretched out his hand to catch him. Brother Ming stretched out his hands from under the quilt, and put his arms around her neck, like a stalking monkey.

Seeing that his body was still naked, Shen Yuechen hurriedly picked up a palm-sized embroidered toad and frog bellyband and put it on for him, covering his chest and stomach first to prevent him from catching cold.

This toad and frog bellyband has been worn on Brother Ming's body since he was full moon. It is exquisitely embroidered and vivid. It was made by Chuntao, a maid in the old lady's house.

There are a lot of things that children wear.According to legend, Nuwa gave her descendants a piece of clothing, shaped like a bellyband, which can not only protect the abdomen from the cold, but also conceal shame, so the custom of wearing toad bellybands for children has been circulating among the people.

Unexpectedly, her intentional or unintentional action made Brother Ming blush again.After all, he is not a real child, it is not enough to show him naked, and he is really ashamed to wear crotch pants with his butt exposed.

Shen Yuechen smiled silently, seeing that he was embarrassed, she put him back on the bed and asked the maids to dress him first.

Brother Ming put on his little coat and jacket again, and was wrapped tightly like a little rice dumpling.

Shen Yuechen saw that he was pulling his clothes uncomfortably, so she hurriedly took off his jacket for him, and told the servant girls: "The stove is always burning in the room, so you don't need to dress Brother Ming too thickly or too hot, so as not to overwhelm him." It broke the body and hurt the skin."

Brother Ming had been raised very delicately because of insufficient womb and frail body.However, Shen Yuechen did not approve of this kind of parenting method. He locked the child at home all day long and wore thick warm clothes, just like a tree that does not see the sun all day long. Easy to get sick.

Shen Yuechen hugged Brother Ming, looked at Chang's mother and said: "From today, Brother Ming will go back to the west courtyard with me, you pack his things, and go back with me later."

Mother Chang was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, nodded her head hurriedly, and led the maids to pack their things.

Brother Ming was also overjoyed, and quickly put his arms around her neck, kissing and rubbing at the same time.Fortunately, Shen Yuechen didn't have any makeup on his face, otherwise, he would have rubbed his face into a big painted face.

Besides Chang's mother, Brother Ming also has two women, one surnamed Zhang, the other named Qiao, and four little maids. They are all servants of Brother Ming, so naturally they also want to accompany him. Go to the west yard.

There were so many people in the yard at once, and it suddenly became a lot more lively.

A while ago, Mrs. Sun was ill and delirious, and Mrs. Qin was expelled and grounded. The yard became much deserted, and it was always quiet. Usually, the sound of a needle falling on the ground could almost be heard.

Brother Ming could rarely leave the house, so he would be carried by Shen Yuechen to the west courtyard, he was very happy, he wrapped his arms around Shen Yuechen's neck, looked around, and waited to see the fruits and vegetables in the fruit plate in her room. The pastry is even more dancing.

Although he has started to eat complementary food now, he can only drink some porridge and egg custard or eat a few spoonfuls of fruit puree, and he can't touch the rest.

Brother Ming moved his body, raised his head to rub Shen Yuechen's cheek, pointed to the fruit on the table, and said, "Guess, fruit."

His diet is monotonous, and he rarely eats sweet and sour things, especially those sweet and sour fruits, and he can't eat all he wants, because it will conflict with the medicinal properties.

Seeing Brother Ming speak, Mama Wu couldn't help being taken aback, she said in surprise, "Young Master Ming, you are really smart to be able to speak so early."

There are so many coincidences in this world.Back in the day, Shen Yuechen spoke early, she would call someone before she was one year old.

Shen Yuechen smiled, and gave Brother Ming to Wu Ma for a hug: "Mom, give him a hug, you've never hugged him before."

Wu Ma took Brother Ming carefully, looked at him with a smile, and said: "This servant is Wu Ma, I greet you, young master."

Brother Ming looked at her with a slightly familiar look, grinned, and continued to mutter: "Fruit, fruit."

With a smile all over her face, Mama Wu turned her head and told Chun Ming, "Young master wants to eat fruit, so hurry up and buy a bowl of apple puree."

Chunming hurriedly responded, took an apple and peeled it, then mashed it into a paste with a spoon little by little, put it in a bowl and sent it over.

Brother Ming looked at the bowl of apple puree, lost all interest at once, and pursed his mouth unhappily, but something to eat is better than nothing, so he opened his mouth obediently, and ate a spoonful of apple puree.

After Brother Ming came, there were two children in the room at once, as if he didn't want to be lively.

Mama Wu couldn't sit still for a while, and started to gather Ming Ge'er's recipes early on. In her words, food supplements are not as good as medicine, and only by eating well can you grow strong.Besides, the lady didn't have a good foundation since she was a child, so she is thin.

Shen Yuechen saw that she was so caring, so it was hard to ignore her good intentions, and said: "Mom is caring, so I will trouble Mom. However, the food that Brother Ming eats is taken care of by special people. Mom, please ask them first if there is anything that needs to be taboo, and then think about it."

Wu Ma nodded: "Yes, this servant knows. The old slave will go now, and by the way, bring over the prescription prescribed by the doctor before, and keep it for later use."

Sitting on Shen Yuechen's lap, Brother Ming felt warm in his heart when he saw how everyone was busy doing things for him.

In his previous life, his family relationship was weak, he was an orphan with no one to support him, except for a weak and sick younger brother, there was no one close to him around him.Now, he came here and became the eldest grandson of the family. There is no one in the family who doesn't love him, and there is no one who doesn't care about him. This kind of warm feeling is really good.

Thinking of this, Brother Ming pursed his lips and smiled, wondering if he was a blessing in disguise.

Brother Ming felt full after eating half a bowl of apple puree.

Shen Yuechen put him on the small bed in the house, and took a nap with Yaya.

Not a while after lunch, a maid from the outside came to report: "Grandma, Manager Zhu is here."

Shen Yuechen was slightly taken aback, and felt that he was a rare visitor, and must have come here for the Chinese New Year.

Zhu Rong walked in slowly to salute and say hello. Although he looked plain, of medium build, and honest, his eyes were sharp, and he looked like a shrewd and capable person.

Shen Yuechen hadn't met him a few times, but she also knew that she and him were "beams".

Zhu Rong came to see Shen Yuechen only after receiving the words of the eldest lady. Although he had a lot of prejudice against her, it was not easy to come, so he had to bite the bullet and come here.

Since Zhu An committed the crime, not only could he not stay in Zhu's house any longer, but he also lost his reputation outside. He couldn't do anything, so he had to sit at home and drink all day long.

Zhu An is Zhu Rong's own nephew, his face is torn apart and his flesh is still attached to him. When he got into trouble, he can't get away with it. Not only did he post a large sum of money, but he also lost face in front of the old man and the old lady. He almost lost his job.

Seeing that Zhu An's mud couldn't support the wall, Zhu Rong was very angry, but he was also dissatisfied with this new young lady.It's okay for her to stand up, but she doesn't have to take Zhu An first.What's more, if you don't look at the face of the monk, you should look at the face of the Buddha. When beating a dog, you also need to look at the owner. Even if Zhu An did something wrong, he must always take into account his face as the big housekeeper of the Zhu family.
