Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 153 Secret (3)

Hearing this, Zhu Jintang felt like a mirror in his heart, and said obediently, "Master Yuezhang, I will definitely bring your greetings."

When Shen Zhiyun heard this, he immediately smiled, and felt that his head was not so dizzy anymore.

Mrs. Shen was more thoughtful than her son, whether she asked for help or visited as a guest, she would never leave empty-handed.

Although Zhu Jintang brought a lot of gifts to the Ruan family, but they were gifts from the Zhu family, and the Shen family naturally couldn't blend in shamelessly.

Old Mrs. Shen ordered her servants to bring up some gifts prepared in advance and bring them to Shen Yuechen. "Your father was so happy and confused, he forgot to mention the gift. This is the first time you have been a guest at the Duke's Mansion, so you must be polite. This little gift was prepared by your father and me, and it is not expensive. It’s just something to eat and drink, you take it with you, and then say a few good words for your father.” After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhu Jintang with a smile, and said gently: “Although they are not relatives, they are also relatives now. Those who have relatives and old relatives also work for officials in the capital, it is better to move around more in the future. So, grandson-in-law, please say a few words to the old man for your father-in-law, so that you can tell the old man Make a good impression."

Taking advantage of her seniority, Mrs. Shen simply spoke more bluntly, making Zhu Jintang unable to pretend to be confused, so he could only nod his head.

Shen Yuechen has been paying attention to his face all the time, seeing his eyebrows moving slightly, although he didn't frown, but his expression has changed a little, so he secretly took his heart.

After the two of them got out of the courtyard and got into the carriage, she couldn't help but said, "Master, I was a little embarrassed just now. My father is not usually such a quick-tempered person, maybe he drank too much wine last night, that's why... "

Before she finished speaking, Zhu Jintang waved his hand lightly and said: "It's okay, your grandmother is right. Although they are not relatives, they are related by relatives now. It is naturally good to be able to move around more."

Shen Yuechen was slightly taken aback, she didn't expect him to agree so readily.

In fact, Zhu Jintang knew a long time ago that he accompanied Shen Yuechen back to his natal family this trip, and the Shen family must have such thoughts.This is human nature, he can understand, and, after all, the Shen family and the Zhu family are in-laws, so it is appropriate to help them appropriately.

As the saying goes, it is better not to let the fat and water flow into the fields of outsiders than to be stronger than outsiders who are cheap.

Seeing that he agreed so readily, Shen Yuechen felt a little relieved, and then put all her thoughts on the Ruan family.

The carriage drove slowly on the crowded street, and it took half an hour to reach Ruan's house.

Shen Yuechen took advantage of this opportunity to prepare well.

Zhu Jintang would come to the capital once a year, and every time he came, he would visit Ruan's house.However, this time he came to visit with Shen Yuechen, so naturally he should be more solemn.

The Ruan family has always cared about the Zhu family, after all, they are one of the best families in Texas, very respectable.

Ruan Xiping and his wife Zhu Yuanlan were naturally very happy when they heard the news that Zhu Jintang was coming.

Zhu Jintang took Shen Yuechen to Ruan's house together, and the concierge's servants quickly spread the word to the second bedroom.

Zhu Yuanlan was very happy, and she came out to greet her with her maid herself, with a smile on her face, and she seemed to be in a good mood, before Zhu Jintang saluted him, she gave him a hand and said, "Jintang, you Come, aunt has not seen you for a while."

Zhu Jintang smiled slightly, and said with gentle eyes: "I should have greeted you earlier. Are uncle and aunt healthy?"

Zhu Yuanlan nodded with a smile, her eyes were as gentle as water, and then she looked at the slim and beautiful figure behind him, and asked softly, "Is this the child?"

Shen Yuechen has been standing cautiously behind Zhu Jintang, with a decent smile on his face and his eyes slightly downcast.

Hearing this, Zhu Jintang stretched out his hand to gently hold her hand, and then introduced her to Zhu Yuanlan. "This is my wife, Mrs. Shen."

It was the first time for Shen Yuechen to hear Zhu Jintang call himself a "wife", and he felt a little inexplicable, weird and sweet.However, she reacted quickly in the next second, and hurriedly bowed her knees to salute Zhu Yuanlan, with a smile on her face, respectful and decent.

Ever since Ruan Linluo was conferred the title of Concubine Jing, Ruan Xiping was also given the title of General of Zhen Guo, and now Zhu Yuanlan has justifiably become the wife of the second rank, with an extraordinary status.Therefore, Shen Yuechen was extra careful, no matter what, he wanted to make a good impression on her.

Zhu Yuanlan narrowed her eyes with a smile, looked her up and down for a while, and then said with a smile: "Well, at first glance, she looks like a docile child, no wonder Concubine Jing always talks about her to me."

Concubine Jing... Shen Yuechen felt a sour feeling in his heart after hearing these four words. He thought of Ruan Linluo's bright and beautiful smile, and how she always liked to act coquettishly and make jokes, as if it was just yesterday. Same scenario happened.

Obviously, Ruan Linluo inherited her mother's beauty, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, small facial features, and clear and energetic eyes.

Although Zhu Yuanlan has become the imperial wife, she is still the same as before, without the slightest arrogance, she took Shen Yuechen's hand in a very approachable way, patted it lightly, and said: "You are the first time back, so you will inevitably feel Be cautious, don’t worry, just get acquainted with it a few more times in the future.”

Shen Yuechen nodded and smiled: "I'm bothering you, I'm causing you trouble."

Seeing her polite tone and soft voice, Zhu Yuanlan couldn't help liking her a little more, and said, "We're all a family, what's the trouble, I'm just worried that no one will talk to me to relieve my boredom, and it so happens that you are here, hurry up and talk to me Come in and talk."

Ruan Zhengshan and Ruan Xiping are not here at this time, and the old lady is also chanting scriptures in the Buddhist hall, at least it will take more than an hour.

Zhu Yuanlan led them to drink tea and rest in her yard first, and then went over to greet them formally when all the family members came back.

"The elders haven't come back yet, so please talk to me first. When the family is tidy in the evening, let's go over to say hello, so we don't have to go back and forth."

For their peace of mind, Zhu Yuanlan stated her plan clearly.

Zhu Jintang hurriedly nodded and said, "Auntie arranged it."

Zhu Yuanlan smiled slightly, and asked, "Is everything alright in Texas? Are you two old people still in good health?"

Zhu Jintang responded one by one, "Thanks to my aunt, everything is fine in Texas, and my grandfather and grandmother are also safe."

When Zhu Yuanlan met Zhu Jintang, she naturally had a lot to say and ask. The two talked for a long time. Can't interrupt.

After a while, a maidservant in Tsing Yi came in and said, "Second Grandma, the old man and the second uncle are back."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanlan smiled lightly and nodded, habitually adjusted her unruly temple hair and the gorgeous jewelry on her head, got up and said, "Come on, let's go to the room together to greet the elders. "

Zhu Jintang and Shen Yuechen hurriedly got up to follow, and both adjusted their clothes and hair at the same time.

Zhu Jintang has been to the Ruan family many times, and he knows the people and things of the Ruan family very well, but this is the first time for Shen Yuechen, besides being careful, he is still careful, and even the expression on his face becomes tense.

At this time, the upper room of the Ruan family was already full of people. Ruan Zhengshan and his wife were sitting in the middle of the room, with Ruan Dongsheng and his wife on the right, and Ruan Xiping on the left. Zhu Yuanlan led Zhu Jintang and Shen Yuechen. Come in and say hello, a little late.

As soon as the three of them walked in, everyone's eyes could not help but fall on Zhu Jintang and Shen Yuechen.

The Ruan family are familiar with Zhu Jintang, and they always meet each other every year.However, Shen Yuechen was a completely unfamiliar face.

The Ruan family has always had a high opinion of Zhu Jintang. Although he is still very young and a businessman who has not entered the official career, the Ruan family has a good impression of him.Especially Ruan Xiping, I always felt that apart from his handsome appearance and polite manners, the bright and sharp eyes caught his attention.

Ruan Xiping was born as a military general. He has been on the battlefield all year round. Apart from his extraordinary courage, the most powerful thing is his unique vision.

Rules are rules.Zhu Yuanlan first introduced Zhu Jintang to his family, and then introduced Shen Yuechen.

The husband and wife exchanged glances with each other, then they first stepped forward to greet Ruan Zhengshan and his wife, followed by Ruan Dongsheng and Ruan Xiping.

Shen Yuechen's appearance really surprised the Ruan family.After all, they still had some fresh memories of Qin Hongjuan in the past. In addition, the Qin family was implicated by King Jing Rong before, and the state of decay was even more chilling in people's hearts.

However, although it is to meet people, but to hear about it.Now, Shen Yuechen's father, Shen Zhiyun, is an official in the capital. Although his official position is not big, he is also well-known.

I thought she was the daughter of an official family, and she would be an extremely dazzling woman like Qin Hongjuan back then.But I didn't expect that she looked so young, and compared with Qin Hongjuan in the past, she was a little less bright, a little more cute, standing beside Zhu Jintang with a smile, she didn't feel like his wife , more like his sister.

The age difference between Shen Yuechen and Zhu Jintang is nearly ten years. Although the difference in appearance is not obvious from the outside, the temperament of the two is completely different.

Zhu Jintang is mature, Shen Yuechen is reserved, one is strong and the other is docile.

Zhu Jintang and Shen Yuechen greeted each other, and the elders of the Ruan family raised their hands to signal them to stand up and speak.

"You have worked hard all the way, sit down and talk." Ruan Zhengshan said with a smile, his face was kind, and he nodded with some satisfaction seeing the two of them standing together.

The Zhu family has always had a good eye for candidates. This child looks really good, docile and honest, good-looking, quiet and unassuming.

After getting up, Shen Yuechen always had a faint smile on her face. Although she hardly had a chance to speak, keeping a smile was a kind of kind language.

Ruan Zhengshan's wife, Qiao Shi, looked at Shen Yuechen coldly, and couldn't help feeling that she was too different from the former Qin Shi.

Having lived in the capital for most of her life, she has seen a lot of daughters of official families, but she has never seen Shen Yuechen like this.

The most outstanding thing about Qin Hongjuan is her temperament and charm. People can tell that she is a lady from a famous family at a glance. Every word she says and every thing she does can make people feel satisfied unconsciously.However, the child in front of him gave people a completely different feeling from Qin Shi.Her eyes were clear and bright, revealing a faint tension, without any arrogance.
