Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 128
Shen Yuechen sent someone to show Zhu Rong a table and serve tea, Zhu Rong gave it a symbolic polite way, and finally sat down firmly.

"Grandma, the servant came here today to discuss with Grandma about the New Year's matters at Dadame's request." As he spoke, he got up and presented two forms, not to Shen Yuechen directly, but to her maid, Chun Ming. .

Shen Yuechen took the list from Chunming's hand, glanced lightly, and saw that one was a list and the other was a gift list.

Zhu Rong continued: "Grandma, this is what the lady asked the servant to give you. One is a list of all the servants in the house, with a total of 96 people inside and outside. There is also a list of gifts, which was last month. Buy and buy all kinds of New Year gifts."

Hearing the words, Shen Yuechen nodded slightly, and carefully looked at the list of servants, and saw that it was clearly and clearly written the name, age, position in the mansion and every servant of Zhu's mansion. The monthly silver coin of the month.

It was the first time for Shen Yuechen to see such a detailed list, so she couldn't help but pay more attention to it.

After reading the list, it is the gift list.

"Grandma, I've bought all the New Year's gifts at home, and now, I just have to wait until the new year is over, and then I can send them out according to the order."

The matter of the annual ceremony was handled by Mrs. Li and Mrs. Chai personally, and Shen Yuechen only helped out with a few ideas, but was unable to decide.

"According to Da Furen's wishes, the matter of gift giving is all arranged by grandma. When to give it and how to arrange it are all up to you."

Shen Yuechen remained silent all this time, and looked down at the gift list seriously. After hearing this, she couldn't help but raise her head and ask, "Is this what the eldest lady meant? Or, what the old lady meant?"

When I went to pay my respects in the morning, Li Shi hadn't mentioned this matter to her, so she probably didn't mean it.

Zhu Rong nodded and said, "Go back to grandma, this is what the old lady meant."

This year is Shen Yuechen's first year in the mansion, let her get acquainted with the family's New Year's chores first, so that she can manage it more comfortably in the future.

Hearing the words, Shen Yuechen was very grateful to the old lady for her hard work, and quickly replied with a smile: "I see, please trouble the chief steward to thank the old ancestors for me later. I will take a good look at these two lists, and I will not Let the elders down."

After hearing her words, Zhu Rong hurriedly bowed with a smile on his face.

Shen Yuechen then ordered Chunming to fetch a handful of broken silver and handed it to him, and said gently: "The manager is busy with work every day, it's really hard work, you can use this little money to buy tea, it's a little bit of my heart. "

Zhu Rong took the silver with both hands, and thanked him again and again, but he didn't think so in his heart.

Although Shen Yuechen didn't know what was going on in his mind, she could tell from the smile in his eyes that he was dissatisfied with herself.

I heard that because of Zhu An's affairs, he took out a total of 500 taels of silver, which can be said to be a serious injury.

After Zhu Rong left, Shen Yuechen read the two lists from beginning to end twice, then carefully folded them, put them in an envelope, and put them in the eight treasure box on the dressing table.

The annual gift should be given out on the day of the new year. Fortunately, the gift list has been listed in order according to status, closeness and distance, so that she can understand it at a glance and know it well.

However, although she knew it well, Shen Yuechen was still slightly nervous.The concierge will be assigned in the next two days, so as not to be short of manpower.

She was just thinking about losing her mind when she saw Mother Xia walk in with a panicked expression, and said softly, "Grandma, Aunt Sun hugged Chang Ning and said she wanted to see you and uncle..."

Shen Yuechen frowned.

Since Sun gave birth, she has been recuperating her body. In addition, her spirit is in a trance, so naturally she can't go in and out casually.

It was a cold day, but Mother Xia was sweating profusely.

Recently, Aunt Sun's body has regained some strength, so she was anxious to see Zhu Jintang and Shen Yuechen.

She thought that she had given birth to a son for the Zhu family, and she couldn't tell that everything in front of her was just a flower in the mirror, and the moon in the water. Now her daughter was lying on the small bed in Shen Yuechen's room, sleeping very sweetly.

Xia's mother panicked and said, "Aunt Sun's mind is not clear, and the maids can't persuade her..."

Sun Wenpei was crying and making noise in the room, and even Xia's mother was completely out of control.

Shen Yuechen didn't want to waste her words and reason with a crazy woman, so she hesitated a little, and said in a low voice: "If Mrs. Sun is not well, she can't step out of her room. Right now, there are too many things to worry about. Don't let her come out to disturb people."

After hearing this, Xia's mother nodded repeatedly: "The servant has already made people guard the door firmly."

Shen Yuechen rubbed her brows: "It's not enough just to guard, don't let her make too much noise."

Xia's mother bit her lip, and responded: "Don't worry, grandma, there are still many tranquilizers prescribed by the doctor before, if it doesn't work, just..."

Shen Yuechen raised his hand: "Yaya is still breastfeeding, don't give Sun's medicine unless it is absolutely necessary. Mama Xia, you are an old man in the family. You have experienced a lot and learned a lot. Think about it Ways, let's talk about Sun's stability."

Mama Xia was very troubled, serving people was not difficult, but it was the first time she encountered such an errand as serving a crazy woman, so there was nothing she could do.

"Slave...let's do my best. However, grandma... let me say something that is not pleasant. Aunt Sun's illness will be cured. It will take at least a year and a half, and at most it will be three to five years. Going down is not an option."

Shen Yuechen heard that there was something in her words, and said: "Mom has something to say directly, there is no need to cover it up."

Mother Xia swallowed her saliva and continued: "Actually, grandma, you can find a safe place for Aunt Sun just like you did with Aunt Qin, so as to save her from making trouble in the yard like this. Grandpa looks at it and you look at it." Don't worry, ladies and young masters can't see it even more..."

Mama Xia's words sound nice, but in fact, there are only four words: put into limbo.

It's not like Shen Yuechen hadn't thought about this before, but for Yaya's sake, she didn't want to go too far.

Xia's mother saw that she was silent, and continued: "There are plenty of vacant rooms in the south courtyard. As long as you send Aunt Sun there, you won't suffer much."

Shen Yuechen thought for a while and said, "For the sake of Yaya, let's bear with her for a while. But first, you should send someone to clean up a good room in the South Courtyard in advance, and keep it for her anytime and anywhere."

Xia's mother responded, feeling a little relieved, and said, "As for that child in Changning, from now on... grandma, what do you think we should do?"

You can't sell it, but you can't keep it either.

Shen Yuechen lowered her eyelids and thought for a while, but she didn't come up with a proper solution. She only heard Wu Ma say from the side: "Miss, this servant has a comprehensive solution. Why don't we let that child from Changning give it to Brother Ming?" Be a substitute."

substitute?Shen Yuechen raised her eyebrows slightly, and suddenly remembered that there is still such a thing to pay attention to.

It is a feudal custom in ancient times to give up the body.Regardless of whether it is a prince or aristocrat or a wealthy family, if anyone who believes in Buddhism has a sick child who is difficult to raise, the family will find a substitute for him and send him to the temple to become a monk and serve the gods and Buddhas. Protection, praying for the children in the family to ward off evil spirits and avoid suffering from illness.

Wu Ma said softly: "We are all people who have stayed in the temple. Although the life in the temple is hard, it is better than wandering outside and wandering around."

Although this is a feudal bad habit, it can be regarded as a perfect policy.It can not only protect Changning from growing up safely, but also give Brother Ming an auspicious name.

The purity of Buddhism is better than the stability of being bought and bought.Moreover, when he grows up in the future, if he finds a suitable opportunity, it will be fine for him to return to vulgarity.

Shen Yuechen nodded slightly: "Mother's idea is good, let's do it this way. After he is weaned at the age of one year, send him to the temple to become a monk."

Xia's mother took the words and hurried back to appease the agitated Sun Wenpei.

Although she really didn't want to go in at this time, she had no other choice but to bite the bullet and do it.

Recently, Sun Wenpei's temper has been up and down. She thought wholeheartedly that she had given birth to a son for the Zhu family, and her status was naturally not as good as before. But she waited and waited, but no Zhu family came to see her.And not only were they indifferent to her, but they were so indifferent to her children that it was hard for her.

She gave birth to a son, Zhu Jintang's son, why did they turn a blind eye to her?

As soon as Xia's mother entered the room, she saw Sun Wenpei holding Changning, walking around restlessly.

Mother Xia smiled all over her face, walked up to Mrs. Sun, blessed her body, and then, naturally stretched out her hand to take Changning from her arms.

She's emotionally unstable, so make trouble, don't hurt the child.

Sun Wenpei frowned and glanced at her, then held Changning tightly in his arms with a defensive expression, and said, "What did Grandma say? Is she still not seeing me?"

Mama Xia withdrew her hand in embarrassment, "Grandma will be very busy, Auntie should wait."

Sun Wenpei had just finished listening to the first half of the sentence, and raised her voice: "Wait, wait! How long are we going to make our mothers wait?"

Xia's mother explained patiently: "It's the end of the new year, and there are things at home and outside the house. The future will be long, so why does my aunt have to go out to make trouble for this?"

Sun Wenpei snorted coldly: "Hmph, I'm just recuperating after giving birth, and I'm not locked up behind closed doors... Why did Grandma send you troublesome idlers to watch me? What's her plan?"

Xia's mother saw that she was becoming suspicious again, she sighed inwardly, and said: "Auntie, why did you come here? You know how well Grandma treats you, if Grandma didn't make the decision for you , can you still sit here properly now?"

If Qin's society is still here, she will definitely not let her live in such a calm manner.

Sun Wenpei sneered again: "She is kind to me, but it's because I gave birth to a son for the Zhu family. She oppresses me like this, and it's not because of my child."

Xia's mother saw that she didn't want to eat oil and salt, so she didn't know what to do, so she simply followed her words and said: "Since my aunt understands the power of this in her heart, she should be obedient. No matter how good-tempered grandma is, she is still a good person." If you are a face-to-face person, if my aunt continues to make trouble like this, if she really annoys the grandma, and the grandma will keep the young master by her side in a fit of anger, and break the mother-child relationship between you, what will my aunt do?"

After hearing this, Sun Wenpei really calmed down, holding the swaddling baby tightly with both hands, looking down at Changning who had already woken up, her heart was heavy, her head ached and her heart ached.
