Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 140: Brother Ming Caught Zhou (1)

In a fit of anger, Master Wang drove Wang Yue out of the house and cleaned up the house.

After Wang Yue was kicked out of the house, he has been relying on people's relief for a living, and suffered a lot by sleeping in the open.

He lived outside the city doing odd jobs, and by chance, he got mixed up with the daughter-in-law of a watchman in Zhu's granary.

The watchman's daughter-in-law used to be a woman in Fengyue Field, and she had a great impression of Wang Yue. Although she had met once, she was also considered a kindred spirit. Four acts.

Wang Yue has always harbored resentment towards the Zhu family, and every time he thinks that that old boy Zhu Rong had set him up to make him look like he is now, he would get angry.

Seeing that he was depressed, the watchman's daughter-in-law gave him a bad idea to relieve his anger.

The watchman's daughter-in-law delivered meals to her husband every day, and sometimes brought wine for him.

They quietly poured the sweat medicine into the wine, and then mixed some in the food. When they were fainted by the medicine, they sneaked out and set fire.

Wang Yue originally only wanted to burn a pile of grain to relieve his anger, but unexpectedly, when the northwest wind was strong, the fire was out of control, and it turned into a catastrophe.

Wang Yue was so frightened that he ran away overnight, leaving only the husband and daughter-in-law crying.Although her husband died, she dared not speak out because she was guilty of being a thief. It was not until the government posted a notice offering a reward for arresting the murderer that she stood up obsessed with money and revealed the whole story.

The Zhu family lost tens of thousands of taels of grain this time, and they definitely would not spare Wang Yue lightly.

Later, the Wang family came forward to pay the Zhu family 1000 taels of silver, and gave them back two pharmacies in the capital, hoping to get back Wang Yue's life.

Mr. Zhu ordered someone to accept the money, and only replied to Mr. Wang's family: "Pay back the money you owe, and pay with your life if you kill someone!"

Wang Yue was beheaded by the government, and the master of the Wang family was also mad at himself as a prodigal son. The farce finally came to an end.

Although the matter is over, Mr. Zhu still cares about it.That night, he called Zhu Rong to him, and slapped him heavily in front of the whole family, which stunned Zhu Rong and shocked everyone.

Zhu Rong didn't even have time to snort, he only heard Mr. Zhu pointing to his face, and said: "From now on, you are not allowed to use the money from the Zhu family to lend money, not to anyone! Our Zhu family's business depends on My ancestors earned it through diligence and thrift, but they did not steal it in such an opportunistic way. You can save this face, but I can't afford to lose this man!"

It was the first time for Shen Yuechen to see the old man so angry, she couldn't help being startled, lowered her eyes slightly, and sat up straight.

Zhu Rong knelt on the ground and confessed his mistake, his face turned red and white, it wasn't color.

Zhu Jintang got up immediately, saluted and admitted his mistake: "The grandson is at fault, and the account of Manager Zhu was agreed by the grandson..."

Mr. Zhu snorted softly: "It's thanks to you that you have learned so much about the truth when you were a child. You would rather offend a gentleman than a villain! You don't even understand the principle of a dog jumping over a wall?"

This is a vivid example of what is a small loss.

Zhu Jintang bowed his head, neither quibbling nor explaining, a mistake is a mistake.

Mr. Zhu sat back in his chair, knocked on the table and said, "Heaven has its way, and business has its way of business. Only the God of Wealth will take care of you if you eat according to your own ability. Whether our Zhu family can't afford to eat or drink is worth your troubles. From now on From now on, remember for me, you are not allowed to have such crooked thoughts and do such shameless things, whoever makes mistakes again, don't blame me, an old man, for turning your face and denying others."

When everyone heard this, they got up quickly and did not dare to neglect in the slightest.

Since Zhu Jintang was a child, he has almost never been scolded by his grandfather. Today is the first time, and he hopes it will be the last.

At night, seeing his gloomy appearance, Shen Yuechen didn't speak, just sat quietly at the side, and waited for him to get up and get ready for sleep, then greeted him and waited for him to change his clothes and wash his hands.

The two of them lay side by side, and it took only a cup of tea. Shen Yuechen counted silently, and she heard Zhu Jintang sigh three times.

When he sighed for the fourth time, Shen Yuechen simply sat up, looked at him and said: "If the uncle can't sleep, just get up and talk to the concubine."

Zhu Jintang glanced at her indifferently, and said, "What are you talking about?"

Shen Yuechen brushed her hair, tilted her head and smiled at him, "You can say whatever you want? Whatever you like."

Instead of being bored like this, it's better for the two of you to talk and change your mood.

Zhu Jintang turned sideways, lay on the bed with his head on one hand, thought and thought, and then said, "Actually, I've always wanted to ask you something?"

He likes to gossip, and every time he speaks, he has to be a little targeted.

Shen Yuechen was slightly taken aback, "What's the matter?"

Zhu Jintang said: "Your name, Shen Yuechen, where did it come from?"

The first time he saw her name, he felt strange, and when he learned that the names of her sisters were either Yuechan or Yue'e, he was even more surprised.Others are from the word "month" and "nv", but she chooses the word "dust".

Shen Yuechen curled his mouth, lowered his eyes and said: "I'm very ordinary, I don't have any provenance." It's all bittersweet, so there's no allusion.

"The names of the sisters in your family seem to be Cong Yue and Cong Nv. Why are you the only one who is different?"

Shen Yuechen didn't expect that he still remembered these things, so she couldn't help but feel a little hesitant. She didn't want to mention it, and she didn't want to complain in front of him as if she was complaining... Zhu Jintang saw her bowed her head and said lightly: "If you don't want to say it, forget it." , let's talk about something else." He wanted to know her a little more, but she always seemed to have some kind of invisible defense.

Shen Yuechen looked directly into Zhu Jintang's eyes, and said, "Before the uncle married me and came in, he should have heard some rumors. I didn't grow up with my family, so my father didn't get my name... My name is Master." She gave it to me. She said that the night when I came, there was no cloud on the mountain, the moon was in the sky, and the moonlight was bright and bright. However, there were some gray marks on the round moon, which seemed to be covered with dust, so she took it for me. Named Moondust."

"Because the master got the name with the character of month, which coincided with the character on the family tree. After returning home, I didn't change my name and kept using it."

Although Shen Yuechen said these words with a smile, his tone was slightly sad.

The dust on the moon, the dusty moon.Yuechen Yuechen sounds like a name, more like a dharma name.

After Zhu Jintang heard her words, he suddenly felt that her name was somewhat sad, and his brows were slightly frowned unconsciously. How did she grow up?
Seeing him looking at her thoughtfully, Shen Yuechen quickly smiled, concealing the emotions in her heart, and said: "I even said that I have nothing to do with it."

Zhu Jintang immediately said: "Fortunately, when you were young, you only went to the temple to practice. If you really became a monk, wouldn't you be a nun for the rest of your life?"

Shen Yuechen said with a smile: "I'm unclean, how can I be a monk, it's better to be a stupid wife."

Zhu Jintang raised his brows slightly when he heard this, and a leisurely smile appeared on the corner of his lips. "How stupid are you?"

The smile on Shen Yuechen's face deepened a little, and he deliberately didn't speak.

It doesn't matter if he is stupid or not, as long as he can make him smile, it is worth it.

Zhu Jintang held her hand lightly and looked at her thoughtfully.Smart people always use modesty as a protective color, avoiding everything, and seeking security for themselves.Thinking about it this way, instead of being stupid, she is very smart.

Shen Yuechen raised her head, saw that there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he was slightly lost in thought, and said, "Brother Ming's birthday will be in a few days, what do you want to do?"

Zhu Jintang stroked the back of her hand with his slender fingers, and said in a deep voice, "Naturally, it must be done well. The old lady must have her own plans. You don't have to worry too much, just do what she says."

During the full moon wine, I didn't have time to make it, so I made up for it all together this time.

Shen Yuechen nodded. "Okay, then let's take care of it." After she finished speaking, she showed him a gentle smile.

Zhu Jintang's heart moved, and he immediately reached out to hug her, but she gently avoided it.

Shen Yuechen's face flushed slightly: "It's not convenient for me today."

"Inconvenient?" Zhu Jintang was slightly surprised.

"Yeah, it's the body... the inconvenience that women's families have every month."

Shen Yuechen replied with some embarrassment.

Hearing this, Zhu Jintang showed a clear smile, withdrew his hand, patted the pillow and said, "Understood, go to sleep."

Shen Yuechen responded, and personally covered him with the quilt, then leaned forward and blew out the candle beside the bed.

After a few more days, it was February [-]th, Zhu Qingming's first birthday.

In order to bring good luck and good luck, a hundred tables were set up for Brother Ming's birthday banquet, and the Zhu family sent invitations to everyone in Texas who had a relationship with the Zhu family.

The banquet is expected to take three days, with one in the city, one outside the city, and one with relatives.

Old Mrs. Shen sent someone to bring a big gift in advance. She is in Laizhou now. Although she didn't arrive, she didn't say a word of congratulations.

Because it was Brother Ming's first birthday, Zhu's family had another grand occasion, Li Shi and Chai Shi couldn't find time to take a break, and even Shen Yuechen was too tired.Fortunately, the servants of Zhu's family were used to such banquets. Everyone received money to do things, and they were busy with their own tasks, but they didn't waste any time or make any mistakes.

It snowed again last night, and the air was fresh after the snow.

Shen Yuechen deliberately got up early in the morning, because she had to meet guests for entertainment, she also carefully dressed up, put on brand new clothes and gorgeous jewelry.Zhu Jintang also dressed very carefully today, he was born handsome, but with new clothes, he looked even more handsome.

Ever since Brother Ming moved to the west courtyard, Zhu Jintang has become closer to him. The father and son got along day and night, and they began to have some eye contact with each other.

After tidying up, Shen Yuechen hugged Brother Ming and went to the upper room with Zhu Jintang.

Brother Ming has gained a lot of weight recently, and Shen Yuechen already feels a bit strenuous walking with him in his arms.

Seeing that she was walking more and more slowly, Zhu Jintang stopped slightly and said, "Leave Brother Ming to me."

Shen Yuechen smiled when she heard the words, and sent Brother Ming to Zhu Jintang's arms.

Zhu Jintang didn't know how to hold a child yet, so he took him over with a half-hugging, half-hugging relationship. Brother Ming couldn't believe him, so he immediately wrapped Zhu Jintang with his small hands and feet, like a little monkey, clinging to him tightly. body.

Seeing his appearance, Zhu Jintang couldn't help smiling slightly.The child has become closer to him recently, and he is very happy.
