Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 145 Brother Ming's Dead Mother
Zhu Jintang drank two sips of tea, and then said: "No, there are still many things going on outside."

After finally waking up from the haunting and weird dream, he didn't want to close his eyes again and do it all over again.

Zhu Jintang put down the tea bowl and got out of bed, went to wash and change clothes first, and when he came back, his expression was back to normal.

Shen Yuechen didn't think much at first, and ordered the servant girl to prepare breakfast, and after seeing off Zhu Jintang, she saw Wu Ma come in lightly.

"Master, what happened this morning?"

Shen Yuechen said lightly: "I don't know, maybe I'm too tired."

Wu Ma is a careful person, after thinking for a moment, she hesitated and said: "Miss, could it be because that day is coming?"

Shen Yuechen didn't think that deeply for a while, and asked a little puzzled: "What day is mother talking about?"

Mama Wu was a little confused: "It's the anniversary of Qin's death...doesn't it come soon?"

Shen Yuechen paused when she heard the words, and said in her heart: Yes, she has been in the mansion for almost a year before she knew it.

Come to think of it, Zhu Jintang's gloomy face last night, and he said that the matter of life must be because of Qin Hongjuan... Shen Yuechen secretly blamed herself for being careless. She should have thought of this kind of thing a long time ago, and should have realized it a long time ago. How could there be no reaction at all... Really, during this period of time, it was so comfortable that I couldn't even use my brain.

Shen Yuechen pondered for a while and said: "Mom is still careful, I even forgot."

Wu Ma said softly: "The servant also remembered for a moment that the past is over, so there is no need for the miss to take it to heart. Besides, the master and madam haven't said anything, so it seems that they don't want to do it."

Shen Yuechen thought for a while and said: "After all, she is Brother Ming's biological mother, and she is also a person who has entered the genealogy and paid homage to the ancestral hall. The Zhu family should give her some dignity."

The fact that the elders didn't say anything doesn't mean they won't do it. Even Zhu Jintang is so concerned about it, let alone them.It's just in front of my own face, so it's inconvenient to say a thing or two.

Shen Yuechen said: "Since I know this matter, I can't pretend I don't know it. I have to ask the old lady what she means, should Brother Ming give her a stick of incense too?"

Wu Ma hesitated: "Miss, do you really want to take care of this matter?"

Shen Yuechen nodded slightly: "Master's business is my business, who made me and him husband and wife."

Although Qin's status in the Zhu family is higher than hers, she has no reason to haggle over a dead man.

In the afternoon, Shen Yuechen first talked about this matter with Li Shi.

Sure enough, as she expected, Li Shi always remembered this matter in her heart, but she didn't expect that she would take the initiative to bring it up.

Li Shi sighed softly and said: "I didn't expect you to still remember this. Yes, although Qin Shi is gone, she gave the Zhu family a child anyway, we can't ignore her."

Shen Yuechen said quietly: "Then what does Madam want to do? What should I prepare myself?"

Li Shi smiled softly: "It's all right if you have the heart. Let the servants prepare things. It needs to be done, but it can't be done in the mansion. It's better to send someone to donate an extra sesame oil lamp in the temple." Bar."

"Then do you want Brother Ming to kowtow to her..." Shen Yuechen asked cautiously.

Li Shi was startled when she heard the words, she was stunned for a moment before she said: "It is reasonable to want it, but are you willing?"

Now, their mother and son are as good as one person, and Brother Ming has begun to understand. If she finds out that her biological mother is not her, wouldn't she be in a difficult situation?

Shen Yuechen didn't worry about this at all. Brother Ming was the same as her, they trusted each other and depended on each other, so at any time, they were the closest relatives.

So, she replied lightly: "I don't care. Everything is up to you, madam."

Since Qin Hongjuan is an official, the memorial tablet will naturally enter the Zhu family's ancestral hall after her death.It's just that due to taboos and rules, few people in the mansion usually mention her.Although Li Shi and Qin Hongjuan are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, their relationship is as close as mother and daughter.

When Qin Hongjuan married, when the Qin family was in full bloom, she married into Zhu's family with a whole body of pride, but when she left, she was full of illnesses, haggard, not like a human, nor like a ghost.

The Li family has never concealed her love for Qin Hongjuan, a daughter-in-law. She is the daughter of the Qin family's direct descendant.

Li Shi sighed slightly, thinking of her flower-like face in the past, she couldn't help being filled with emotion.

A good person, if you say no, you will be gone, what is it if it is not a confidante?
Although Shen Yuechen took the initiative to mention the anniversary of Qin's death, Li did not plan to entrust this matter to her, nor did she plan to make a big deal of it.

It is good that she is sensible, but she inevitably has her own ideas in her heart.

Qin is the main wife, and she is the second wife. The two have been compared by everyone since they entered the door. It is impossible to say that they don't care at all.

In order to avoid suspicion, Mrs. Li did not let her deal with the anniversary of Mrs. Qin's death. She went to the ancestral hall and burned two sticks of incense for Mrs. Qin. head.

Brother Ming is not a real child, and he understands what is going on in his heart.

Shen Yuechen had explained before, asking him to behave well, not to cause trouble, and not to talk nonsense.

Brother Ming naturally took her words to heart, he would do whatever Li Shi asked him to do, he even saluted and kowtowed obediently, and called "Mother" to the tablet.

Li Shi had always controlled her emotions very well, but after hearing Brother Ming call "Mother", she couldn't help but shed tears.

Seeing this, Brother Ming hurriedly took small steps, moved close to her, and wiped her tears with his little hands.

Li Shi stretched out her hand to hold him in her arms, patted his back lightly, and said: "Brother Ming, you must remember your own mother well, she has suffered a lot and suffered a lot for you. , so you have to remember her."

Brother Ming sighed softly when he heard the words, nodded and said: "Yes, I remember everything."

Everyone here is kind to him, and he will never forget it.Just like what Shen Yuechen said, no matter what happened in the past, in this life, he is still a child of the Zhu family, so naturally he should behave well.

Li Shi hugged Brother Ming and cried for a while, then calmed down, wiped his face with a handkerchief, and then walked out of the ancestral hall with Brother Ming in his arms.

Although it is a place to enshrine the ancestors and family members, it will inevitably be more sinister. Brother Ming's body is delicate, and she doesn't want him to stay there for too long.

Li Shi was a little tired from crying for a while, so she asked Mother Xia to carry Brother Ming back to the west courtyard.

Shen Yuechen had been sitting in the room waiting at this moment, and when he saw Brother Ming came back, he reached out to pick him up, carried him to the bedside, then let him sit down, and asked face to face: "Is everything done? ?”

Brother Ming seemed to be infected by Li Shi's emotions, and nodded silently.

Seeing this, Shen Yuechen asked again: "After you go, how do you feel, are you sad?"

Brother Ming instinctively shook his head, but he didn't think so in his heart, and then nodded honestly: "Well, I'm a little sad, a little bit."

Although the number of times I have seen her is very few, Brother Ming has always had a deep impression of Qin's.

As a human being in two lifetimes, he has never been looked at with such earnest and complicated eyes, but it was a chaotic time, and he didn't care to think about it, and he was taken away by the midwives, only faintly heard Qin's weak voice, Muttering to himself: "It's a son...son...my son..."

Shen Yuechen raised her hand to touch his head, and sighed softly: "She is someone who deserves your sorrow, no matter who you are, she is the one who risked her life for you, so you have to remember well Don't forget her."

Brother Ming's heart moved slightly, he lifted his small face, and said with some emotion, "It's so strange, you all said the same thing as me today."

Shen Yuechen didn't show much surprise, she knew earlier that Li Shi has always been thinking about Qin Shi in her heart, and there are some things that need not be said explicitly, but those who are interested can see it.

Shen Yuechen smiled slightly, and said softly: "Actually, you are luckier than me, at least you can still remember the face of the person you are grateful for."

After hearing this, Brother Ming blinked and looked at her, puzzled: "What? Don't you remember your mother's face?"

Shen Yuechen murmured: "Of course I remember her in the previous life, but in this life, she died before I could take a good look at it... Thinking about it carefully, the only thing I can remember is the bloody smell that filled the room and the smell of my father. Scarlet and angry eyes."

She is different from him, and she is not as lucky as him. She has become the heart of the whole family since she was born, and she takes good care of her.

Brother Ming seldom heard her mention the past, so he listened very carefully, thinking about himself and her words, and sighed from his small mouth: "It seems that you are also a poor man, but you are also It’s not bad, and I can still grit my teeth and persist until now, so I don’t embarrass us modern people.”

Shen Yuechen heard that he said such words in the tone of a little adult, and immediately stopped him softly: "You are not allowed to speak in the tone of an adult, and you are not afraid of revealing your secrets."

Hearing this, Brother Ming fell back a little discouraged, kicked his calves, and said, "Oh, when will I be able to make a living like this? I feel that if I pretend to be a child, my brain will degenerate."

If this continues, he is really afraid that he will become a little fool before he grows up.

It was not the first time for Shen Yuechen to hear him complain, ever since he was able to speak plain words, he would complain like this from time to time.

"You are less than two years old now, and you will have to endure a long time in the future. You should be prepared in your heart."

At this moment, there was no one else in the room, and the maids were all sent away, so Shen Yuechen could talk to him a little more comfortably.

Brother Ming sighed helplessly again, turned over and sat up, but because of the inertia of his body weight, he fell backwards again.

Seeing this, Shen Yuechen smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Don't rush everything, take your time, anyway, you still have time."

Looking back, although I had a hard childhood, it was the easiest thing to be a child, as long as I was obedient to everything.

Brother Ming looked at her with a crooked little head, hesitated for a moment before asking: "How did you get through it in the first place? Don't you think about going back?"

go back?Shen Yuechen was startled, turned to look at him and asked: "How to go back? Is there going to be another accident, another death?"
