Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 149
Zhu Jintang saw that she was still in a state of anxiety, so he said, "We will set off early tomorrow morning, don't worry."

Hearing this, Shen Yuechen smiled reluctantly.

In the evening, the two of them went to bed early.

Shen Yuechen was lying on the bed, constantly repeating the scenes that happened during the day in his mind, and he felt a little insomnia.

She hesitated for a moment, then took the initiative to take Zhu Jintang's hand, and said softly: "Can we hold hands and sleep?"

The weather is getting a little hot now, if they hug each other, it will only make people sweat.

Hearing this, Zhu Jintang was taken aback for a moment, closed his eyes for a long time and didn't realize it. After a while, he held her hand and said, "Are you so scared?"

After hearing this, Shen Yuechen thought to himself: Who wouldn't feel scared when seeing a murder scene?

Although she thought so in her heart, she said: "Well, there is always a feeling of living in a black shop, a little uneasy."

Black shop?Hearing these two words, Zhu Jintang vaguely wanted to laugh for some reason, but he held back the next second.

The two of them held hands and fell asleep peacefully, and they have been speechless all night.

By the early morning of the next day, the couple was ready to go.Before departure, Xie Wuyou personally brought someone to see him off. After one night, Shen Yuechen's mood was much calmer, and his attitude towards him was as gentle and polite as ever, without showing any neglect or disrespect.

Xie Wuyou was slightly surprised. She thought she would be terrified by what happened yesterday, but she didn't expect to recover so soon.

Xie Wuyou smiled faintly, looked at Zhu Jintang, and said something meaningful: "Brother Zhu, you are really blessed, with such a good wife, what more can a husband ask for!"

When he said this, Shen Yuechen had already sat in the car, but he still felt a little awkward, looking at his wrinkled smiling face through the thin curtain was even more weird.

Starting from the inn, he walked north along the official road and walked for nearly three days before finally arriving at the capital.

Shen Yuechen looked up at the tall city tower in the distance, and said with a little emotion in his heart: "It's finally here, it's really not easy to walk this way."

Just when the carriage was about to enter the city gate, Zhu Jintang suddenly said, "Once you enter that city gate, everything will be different."

Shen Yuechen was slightly surprised and puzzled.However, when the carriage passed the city gate, she suddenly understood the meaning of Zhu Jintang's words just now.

The root of the imperial city at the foot of the emperor, a place full of power and desire, the air, smell, sound, everything here is very different.

Shen Yuechen involuntarily took a deep breath, feeling very strange, perhaps due to psychological effects, as if he could smell a heavy and strong breath from the air, like the smell of metal, and also like the smell of conspiracy.

The Zhu family has always had business in the capital, so there is no need to worry about basic necessities of life.However, this time the couple came to visit their relatives in the capital, so naturally they are not suitable to live in an inn. Mrs. Shen has already prepared a room for them to rest in Shen Zhiyun's new residence.

Ever since Mrs. Shen learned that Shen Yuechen and Zhu Jintang were coming together, she had always taken this matter to heart.

Shen Zhiyun is now an official in the capital, and he goes to court every day to do things. Naturally, his place of residence cannot be too far from the palace city.

Shen Zhiyun's new residence is in an alley in the east of the city. Although it is not as big as the previous residence in Laizhou, it is still spacious and decent.After all, the capital is no better than Laizhou, where every inch of land is expensive, unless you are a relative of the emperor or a first-rank official, otherwise, it is difficult to enjoy that dignity.

When Shen Yuechen first arrived in the capital, everything he saw was fresh and lively. Compared with Dezhou, there were many times more people here. Moreover, the shops along the street were all gorgeously decorated, full of guests, and they were doing small businesses on both sides of the road. Local businessmen also have their own accents and characteristics, and they come from different places at a glance.

Shen Yuechen looked out the window and couldn't help but let out a sigh: "The capital is indeed the capital!"

Hearing this, Zhu Jintang said calmly: "Let's go to the father-in-law's mansion today to bother me for a day, and tomorrow you will visit my eldest aunt with me."

Shen Yuechen's heart moved slightly.Is she going to Ruan's house?It stands to reason that, as a junior, she should pay a visit to show respect, but when she thinks that they are a family of meritorious service, she starts to feel a little nervous.

This time I went back to my mother's house, which was different from last time.Shen Yuechen already had very little preparation in her heart, and so did Zhu Jintang.

The carriage drove all the way to the east of the city. Before the carriage arrived, the accompanying servant knocked lightly on the door of Shen's house.

The young man who came to answer the door saw Zhu Jintang, who was riding a tall horse with an extraordinary appearance, immediately came up to him with a smile on his face, saluted him and said, "Greetings, young master."

Waiting to see, Shen Yuechen walked out of the carriage with the maid's hand, and continued: "The little one sends my regards to the eldest lady."

Shen Yuechen glanced at him, saw that he looked familiar, and smiled slightly: "Is the old lady and master at home?"

Seeing that she took the initiative to talk to him, the young man hurriedly said: "The master is on a business trip, the old lady and the lady are waiting for you and uncle in the room."

Shen Yuechen and Zhu Jintang looked at each other, and led the servants to the courtyard.

This is a typical courtyard house, with three entrances and three exits. The courtyard is square, with flowers and plants planted inside. It looks like it is newly planted, and the soil on the ground has just been refurbished.

At this time, Old Mrs. Shen heard that Shen Yuechen had arrived, she was slightly relieved, she silently recited Buddha, and after waiting for more than half a month, it can be regarded as looking forward to the two of them.

Seeing her excited look, Yao shi said with a smile: "This child, Yuechen, really cares about your old man, and came here as soon as he received it."

It was rare for Mrs. Shen to hear her praise Shen Yuechen, she smiled faintly, and whispered: "When I see you later, be careful with what you say, and don't embarrass that child Yuechen."

Upon hearing this, Yao shi replied with a half-hearted smile: "Mother, don't worry, I have a sense of propriety."

While speaking, Zhu Jintang and Shen Yuechen had already arrived.

Old lady Shen stood up slowly, only to see that Shen Yuechen looked at herself with a smile, and called out kindly: "Grandmother."

A look of surprise flashed in Old Madam Shen's eyes, she hadn't seen her for several months, Shen Yuechen's complexion looked a lot more rosy, and she also gained weight slightly, she didn't look as thin and thin as before.

Zhu Jintang was still the same, with the same noble air and the same calm expression.

The old lady Shen didn't wait for Shen Yuechen to salute her, she quickly beckoned her to come to her, gently hugged her in her arms, and said softly: "Oh, my good boy, grandma misses you so much! Are you ok?"

The excitement of the old lady was not entirely an act.

Before, before she moved from Dezhou to the capital, she seemed to see Shen Yuechen, but unfortunately, the time was too short and she couldn't get out, so she had to give up.

I haven't seen her for half a year, and the old lady has been very worried about her, firstly because of her body, and secondly because too many things have happened recently, and she always wants to keep in touch with her.

Shen Yuechen took advantage of the opportunity and threw herself into Old Madam Shen's arms, and immediately smelled the faint sandalwood fragrance on her body, and suddenly felt a little more familiar in her heart.

Standing aside, Yao Shi put all his eyes and attention on Zhu Jintang, his eyes flickered slightly.

I heard before that the youngest of the Zhu family is a sharp-sighted man, whether he is a man or a ghost, whether he is treacherous or fraudulent, and he has never been able to hide it from his eyes.However, looking at it now, he is also a blind man. He has been married for more than a year, but he still hasn't discovered the serious problem with his wife.

From the day when she found out that Shen Yuechen was in poor health, Yao shi silently made a bet with herself in her heart, betting that Shen Yuechen, who could not bear a child within a year, would be divorced by the Zhu family. Books, get out of the house!

However, now that the time of the year is approaching, instead of reconciling, the young couple came over to visit their relatives affectionately, which was far beyond her expectations.

Zhu Jintang's eyesight alone is nothing more than that, how could the whole family be so indifferent to Shen Yuechen?

The more Yao thought about it, the more confused she became. She didn't give up the bet until after Ruan Linluo of the Ruan family was conferred the title of concubine. She thought that if Shen Yuechen could stay in the Zhu family, it would be a good thing to keep it a secret.

Shen Yuechen and Mrs. Shen hugged each other for a while, and then separated. Even if they were happy, the rules must not be forgotten, and they should salute first.

Zhu Jintang and Shen Yuechen saluted together, but Mrs. Shen kept telling them to sit down and talk.

"You are all tired all the way, now you will be at your own home, so you can be more comfortable."

The maids brought tea. They were all newcomers to the mansion. They only heard that the eldest lady and uncle were coming, but this was the first time they saw them.So, while they were serving tea and snacks, they secretly took a few glances at the two of them. Seeing that they were a good match, their eyes flashed slightly, and they suddenly felt concerned.

I usually work as an errand in the mansion, and I only think that the second lady is a first-class beauty, but unfortunately she has a bad personality, and sometimes she is unbearable when she is savage and willful.Looking at the eldest lady now, she is the complete opposite of the second lady. She looks gentle and quiet. Although her appearance is not superior to that of the second lady, she has a delicate beauty.Moreover, my uncle is also handsome, tall and talented.

Shen Yuechen clearly saw the thoughtful eyes of the maids, and felt a little embarrassed.

Every time she comes back, once Shen's mansion changes servants, she will be scrutinized like this by everyone.

Mrs. Shen looked at the two of them, and said with emotion: "Son-in-law, I haven't seen you for a few months, and you look a little thin."

When Zhu Jintang faced the elders, he respectfully said: "Please trouble the old lady to think about it, everything is fine with me."

Mrs. Shen smiled when she heard the words, and hoped to tell Shen Yuechen: "Yuechen, you have to take good care of your grandson-in-law, and as a wife, you have to take good care of your husband's body."

Although this is a scene, but as an elder, since he has said it, the younger generation will naturally nod and say yes.

Shen Yuechen was a little embarrassed, and just said: "My granddaughter knows, she will pay more attention in the future."

Originally, she just wanted to chime in casually, but she didn't expect Zhu Jintang to say suddenly: "Don't worry, old lady, Yuechen has done a good job, and no one else has to worry about family matters."

Old Madam Shen and Shen Yuechen were slightly taken aback when they heard this.One is novelty and the other is surprise.
