Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 151 Secret (1)

Shen Yuechen looked at Shen Yueqiu, and asked in a gentle voice: "The two younger sisters are engaged, but when will they get married? Have you decided on a date?"

Shen Yueying's face was slightly red, and she replied delicately: "The date is still uncertain, I just said that my sister will be in the next spring, and I will be in the next winter..."

Shen Yuekui was a little slower than her, and when she regained her composure, she tried to answer but couldn't answer, so she just nodded in agreement.

Shen Yuewei was a year older than Shen Yueying, so she should get married first.What's more, Shen Yuexuan's future husband's family is also a merchant, so it can be regarded as a respectable family in the capital.

Shen Yuechen was slightly surprised when he heard this.Although life is not in a hurry, it is too anxious to marry all the younger sisters in the family within the next year.

"If we do it next spring, there will still be enough time." Shen Yuechen replied lightly.

Old Mrs. Shen said lightly: "Yes, it could have been done earlier, but we have to wait until the national funeral is over."

Shen Yuechen nodded knowingly: "Well, marriage is not allowed during the national mourning period, this is the rule."

Old Mrs. Shen smiled and said: "It's better later or sooner. As long as they can marry well, I will feel at ease."

Yao shi didn't speak for a while, but when he heard them talking about his daughter's marriage, he regained his energy and smiled again, and said: "The person you personally choose, the old man, of course you can't be wrong."

After everyone chatted for a while, the old lady ordered the maids to serve tea again, and several plates of exquisite snacks.

Knowing that Shen Yuechen doesn't like sweets, the old lady specially made a light lotus root powder cake. "I specially ordered someone to make this for you. You should eat more."

Shen Yuechen agreed with a smile, took a sip, and felt that the taste was good, so he ate more.

Shen Zhiyun had been drinking and eating with Zhu Jintang until late at night, before he put down his glass, saying: "My son-in-law, we did not enjoy our drinking enough today, let's continue tomorrow."

Seeing that he was finally willing to let him go, Zhu Jintang hurriedly got up and saluted, "Yes, Mr. Yuezhang has been tired all day, so he should rest early."

Shen Zhiyun had indeed drank a lot, and even walked slightly wobbly, the maids behind hurriedly supported him from left to right to prevent him from accidentally falling.

Shen Zhiyun said with a bit of drunkenness: "You guys also go to rest."

Zhu Jintang nodded, walked outside, and bowed his hands to Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Yao.

Old lady Shen said with a smile: "Son, your father-in-law is too happy today, so he asked you to drink a few more drinks to make it difficult for you. If there is anything wrong, please forgive me." Said After that, she waved to Shen Yuechen again, and said: "Help your grandson-in-law down to rest, you have worked hard today."

Zhu Jintang and Shen Yuechen both saluted, ready to say goodbye first.

Shen Yueqiu, who had been secretly paying attention to Zhu Jintang just now, also stood up with her grandmother and mother.

It was a rare opportunity to take a closer look at Zhu Jintang, Shen Yuekui naturally couldn't give up this opportunity, she simply raised her head, looked at him openly, with a smile on her face.

Zhu Jintang obviously had no impression of her, seeing her smiling at him, he nodded slightly.

His smile made Shen Yuekuo feel even more concerned, she was stunned for a long time, before she regained her composure, she hurriedly lowered her head.

Old Mrs. Shen's expression remained unchanged, she still smiled, pretending that she didn't see Yao Shi, but she couldn't help coughing lightly.

Just as they exchanged glances, Zhu Jintang and Shen Yuechen had already left the room.

Although Zhu Jintang was not drunk, he reeked of alcohol.He also drank a lot tonight, Shen Yuechen smelled the alcohol on his body, and felt slightly apologetic.

Zhu Jintang walked slowly on purpose, wanting to blow some air and let off the smell of alcohol.

This time, the night was dark and accompanied by a cool breeze.

After Zhu Jintang blew a gust of wind, he felt much more refreshed. After returning to his room, he also stood in front of the window without saying a word.

Shen Yuechen brewed sober tea, brought it to him, and said, "Master was tired tonight, I thank you on behalf of my father."

Zhu Jintang took the teacup, drank it almost, and then said: "It's rare that the elders are interested, and they have prepared so many drinks and dishes."

The Shen family's intention to please is so obvious.Naturally, Zhu Jintang wanted to accompany them to socialize, and he didn't want to make things difficult for Shen Yuechen.

After Zhu Jintang drank the hangover tea, not long after, he felt a little hungry.

Just now at the banquet, he was so busy chatting and greeting, he barely ate anything, and ended up drinking a lot of wine, which made his stomach empty, and immediately felt even more uncomfortable.

Seeing that he was hungry, Shen Yuechen quickly ordered the servant girl to prepare food for him.

After seeing the meal, Zhu Jintang asked Shen Yuechen to sit down with him.When Shen Yuechen heard this, she didn't refuse, she just added an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks for herself, and ate a few mouthfuls with him.

Zhu Jintang took a sip of the dish, frowned slightly and said, "Compared to Mama Wu's craftsmanship, it's really far behind."

Shen Yuechen smiled slightly when she heard the words, and looked back at Mama Wu, only to see that she also had a faint smile on her face.

"Unconsciously, like my concubine, my uncle is only used to Wu Ma's cooking."

"It's not all because of you." Zhu Jintang replied lightly.

Shen Yuechen laughed even sweeter immediately, and felt elated in her heart.

Wu Ma interjected at the right time: "Master, I will deal with it first, and tomorrow I will personally do it for you and Miss."

Zhu Jintang nodded and did not refuse, just said: "Thank you."

Unlike Zhu Jintang, when the drunken Shen Zhiyun returned to his room, he fell asleep without even saying a word.

Listening to his snoring, Yao frowned and said, "Isn't it true that you've never drank before? Why do you have to drink like this? This age is in vain."

Yao shi didn't bother to care about him, and only asked the maid in the room to undress him and wipe his face, while he went to his daughter Shen Yueqiao's room.

As she expected, her daughter hadn't fallen asleep yet, she was sitting by the lamp, her chin resting on one hand, slightly lost in thought, and she didn't even know she came in.

Yao shi said softly, "Why are you so preoccupied with thinking?"

Shen Yuekui was slightly startled, she hurriedly got up and smiled, "Mother, why are you here?"

Yao shi half-jokingly said: "Your father smells of alcohol, which makes people's head hurt, so I came to see you."

Shen Yuekui hurriedly took her hand and sat down together.

Yao scrutinized her face and saw that her cheeks were slightly flushed, so he simply waved his hand and sent away the maids in the room, leaving only the mother and daughter behind.

"Your eldest sister has changed a lot, hasn't she?"

Seeing her mother suddenly asking questions without beginning or end, Shen Yuewei thought for a while and said, "Well, she does look like she has changed a lot, her complexion has improved, and she looks more refreshed."

In fact, just looking at her changes, one can imagine how comfortable she is living in Zhu's house.

Shen Yuekui pondered for a moment, and then said: "I really didn't expect that she would have such a good fortune and marry so well?"

Yao frowned when she heard this, "What? Don't you envy her?"

After hearing this, Shen Yuekui just shook her head vigorously, but did not open her mouth to refute.

Seeing this, Yao shi smiled softly and said, "Silly boy, what do you envy her for? Don't look at what she will be like in the future, but no one can tell for sure?"

Shen Yuewei was confused when she heard it.

Seeing her blank expression, Mrs. Yao smiled smugly, and continued: "The most blessed child in this mansion is always you. A flash in the pan is the most unreliable. You really don't need to envy others, especially your sister. .”

Shen Yuexuan felt that there was something in her words, so she couldn't help asking curiously: "Mother, what do you mean by that! My daughter is confused."

Yao patted the back of her hand: "You don't need to know, just remember what mother said."

Although Shen Yuexuan is willful, she is not the kind of person who likes to break the casserole and ask the bottom line, but today, because of feeling uncomfortable, she wants to ask the bottom line.

"Mother, don't be so secretive, tell me what's going on right now? What else can we mother and daughter not talk about?"

Yao shi just wanted to remind her a few words, and didn't want to say more, but this time, she didn't want to go back to her room and see her husband reeking of alcohol, so she hesitated a little.

Seeing her hesitating to speak, Shen Yuewei became more and more curious, and said in an urgent tone: "Oh, mother, what can you say to your daughter? Why are you so secretive? Could it be that the elder sister still hides something in her body?" Isn't it a shady secret?"

Her seemingly unintentional words hit Yao Shi's heart, she hesitated for a moment, and then nodded: "Isn't it! Your sister does have a secret that can't be known by outsiders, especially the Zhu family!"

Shen Yuewei was slightly startled, her eyes widened a little, and she said in disbelief, "Really? What's the secret? What happened to her?"

Looking at Shen Yuechen's appearance, I really can't tell what is wrong with her. Moreover, her complexion is rosy, and she is obviously very healthy... Yao Shi said softly: "Your sister is not in good health... her constitution is cold, the doctor said It is not easy for her to have children!

Strictly speaking, this matter is a secret. Now in the Shen family, only the old lady, her husband Shen Zhiyun and herself know about it, and the people around Shen Yuechen know about it.

It's a secret, but it's still a secret, but everyone has a taboo in their hearts, and they are absolutely not allowed to say anything bad about Shen Yuechen in front of people.Especially in front of Zhu's family, they can only be praised, not belittled.

After all, Shen Yuexuan was still an unmarried girl's family. When she heard the words "conceived and had a child", she looked a little unnatural, but then she understood the meaning of these words.

She stumbled back and said: "Mother, so...my sister is..." She really couldn't say those words herself.

Yao shi nodded understandingly: "In order to marry her to Zhu's family, the old lady worried a lot about this matter, and even your father and I felt like there was a stone hanging in their hearts."

After hearing this, Shen Yuekui was really stunned for a while, and it took a long time to react.

Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Mrs. Yao quickly instructed: "The matter is very important. After you know it, don't talk nonsense. Right now, your father needs the Zhu family to make a bridge. We can't afford to offend you."

Shen Yuexuan was still a little resentful at first, but because of what her mother said, her mood improved instantly. Although she was a little gloating, she still felt a little complacent in her heart.

So it turns out...it turns out...she really has a lot of fate, which is obviously a blessing, but it can also turn into a bad luck.
