Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 167 Homecoming (1)

Zhu Yuanlan is a very easy-going person, without the ostentation and posture of an official's wife, she can be regarded as a very easy-going person.

Zhu Yuanlan saw that Shen Yuechen's complexion was good, and his face gradually turned rosy, she was very satisfied, nodded, and said lovingly: "In the past two days, I see that your complexion has improved a lot, and you can finally feel relieved."

Zhu Yuanlan really did what she said, she treated Shen Yuechen as carefully as she treated Ruan Linluo, but with a little more care and a little less pampering.

Hearing this, Shen Yuechen hurriedly got up and said to Fu Yifu: "Thank you for your kindness, Madam, I was able to recover so quickly. Originally, it was not right to come and trouble you for so many days, and I have to trouble you everywhere. It really makes me a junior, I feel ashamed. In fact, I’m almost better now, so I don’t want to cause you any more trouble. I should just go back..."

Although the Ruan family is nice, it is the Duke's mansion after all, and they have lived in it for a month, and it's time to go back to Dezhou.

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanlan couldn't help shaking her head: "You are not in good health yet, and it is time for you to rest. Now, the weather is going to be hot, and it is most unsuitable to be exhausted, absolutely not."

According to her intention, Shen Yuechen must be allowed to recuperate for another month.The place in the mansion is spacious, there is plenty of space, and there are enough servants, it doesn't matter if there are two more of them.

Shen Yuechen was grateful for her kindness, but still replied tactfully: "It's been almost four months since I came to Beijing this time, and Dezhou has always been on my mind, and, sir, he still has a lot of business matters to deal with. Always because I procrastinate, it makes me uneasy."

Zhu Yuanlan is also a wife, so she can understand her thoughts, even if she thinks about it.Letters from Texas are coming more and more frequently. Although there is no urging intention in the letter, it is certain to be impatient.

Zhu Yuanlan asked again: "What does Jintang mean? Is he willing to let you suffer?"

Hearing the words, Shen Yuechen lowered his head slightly, smiled, and blushed a little, "Actually, the uncle is also eager to return, but he just didn't say anything. When he comes back, I'll just persuade him."

Zhu Yuanlan also laughed when she heard it, and said with a bit of a joke: "Well, he will definitely listen to what you say."

Everyone in the Ruan family can see how much Zhu Jintang loves her.

Shen Yuechen's face couldn't help turning redder.

Zhu Yuanlan continued: "At first I wanted you to enter the palace to meet the empress. But I was afraid that you would still have lingering fears, so I let it go. The empress has always cared about you, but there is no need for you to come here in the palace. You can think about it and leave as soon as you want." Walk."

"Your body, how can you worry about a person like me? I hope my wife will say hello to your empress for me. Although the poisoning incident was just an accident, it is also very dangerous...Compared with me, your empress is more responsible. Take good care of the person, the empress is now in full favor, and there will inevitably be jealous people around her..."

The more Shen Yuechen talked, the more worried she became. She only entered the palace once, and she encountered such a dangerous thing.Ruan Linluo lived in the palace day and night, and she was being tricked by many people... Zhu Yuanlan didn't know this, but she was powerless and wanted to send someone into the palace, but it was more difficult than going to heaven.Fortunately, there is also the empress dowager, who has been looking after Ruan Linluo overtly and secretly.

When Ruan Linluo was mentioned, both of them felt a little uncomfortable.

However, Zhu Yuanlan calmed down quickly. She is not someone who likes to frown. Moreover, she also has confidence in her precious daughter, and believes that she will be safe and everything will come true.

While talking, Madam Wu had already brought in breakfast, which she cooked all by herself.

Zhu Yuanlan raised his eyes and took a look, only to see that the dishes were all light and not rich at all, so he couldn't help but frowned and said, "You are just recuperating, why are you still eating so lightly?"

Shen Yuechen said with a faint smile: "These days, I eat a lot of fish and meat every day, and I feel a little greasy, so I want to eat something light."

In the Ruan family's kitchen, none of the meals delivered was meatless.The smell of meat is too heavy, which is not good. Moreover, she is not nourished now, so she is not as good as usual. The meat and vegetables are appropriate, so that it is better for the body.

Zhu Yuanlan saw that she spoke clearly and logically, so she didn't say much. After sitting for a while, she went back to serve the old lady.

Shen Yuechen leaned on the bed and ate breakfast, seeing that the sun was shining outside, she suddenly wanted to get out of bed and move around.This time, even though she narrowly escaped death, she was seriously injured.On the surface it looks haggard, and there is nothing serious about it, but in the end, the body is still suffering a lot.

Because of the lack of vitality, she hadn't gone out for several days, and she was raised in the room all the time, which was very dull.

Wu Ma followed her gaze, looked out the window, and said with some hesitation: "The weather today is really good, but miss, it's better not to go out."

Chunming and Cui Xin also nodded in agreement, "Miss, let's go back to sleep again. After a while, servant girl, I will go and fold two more flowers and put them in the room for you to watch."

Seeing their dissuasion, Shen Yuechen had no choice but to compromise: "Okay, I understand. It's okay if you don't go out, I want to take a walk in the house, it's okay."

Wu Ma heard the words, nodded her head, and agreed: "Of course."

Shen Yuechen was wearing clothes, holding Chun Ming's hand, and walked around the room step by step.After walking for a while, she began to feel a little strenuous.

Sure enough, I still can't show my strength.

Shen Yuechen sat back on the side of the bed again, thinking a little discouraged, after recuperating for such a long time, she still doesn't seem to have much strength.

Seeing that her forehead was sweating, Chun Ming hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat. "Miss is too weak. Fortunately, she didn't go for a walk outside."

Shen Yuechen lowered his head and said: "It's really getting more and more useless, even walking a few steps makes me gasp."

Wu Ma's heart sank slightly when she heard this, and she said: "Miss is just recovering from a serious illness, and there is nothing I can do if my body is weak. We have plenty of time, just take it easy."

Shen Yuechen smiled slightly: "Well, my mother has worried a lot for me during this time, and you have worked hard."

Wu Ma shook her head again and again, as long as she thought of Shen Yuechen's suffering and suffering, she would feel extremely guilty.

Wu Ma stretched out her hand to gently hold her hand, and said gently: "Miss is tired, it's time to rest."

Shen Yuechen nodded obediently, and before going to sleep, he softly instructed: "When the uncle comes back, remember to wake me up."

Wu Ma nodded silently.

Zhu Jintang delayed a lot of business because of taking care of Shen Yuechen before, but now because he was preparing to return to Dezhou, he had to hurry up and finish the things he had accumulated on hand one by one.

Although the Zhu family's shops in the capital are few, they have an excellent reputation. Moreover, whether it is wild game or medicinal silk, they are all genuine products at fair prices.

The capital city is a treasure land, with many capable people and many shops, it is really not easy to gain a firm foothold.

Although the Zhu family is the richest family in Dezhou, but in Beijing, compared with those real powerful families, they are just small roles.Therefore, they have been doing their duty, concentrating on their own business, and seldom confront those big merchants.

However, because of the relationship with the Ruan family, the Zhu family's business this year is much better than in previous years.Zhu Jintang, as a young master, would inevitably have to socialize and entertain those regular customers every time he came here, and it took some thought to come and go.

That night, Zhu Jintang came back reeking of alcohol, drunk or not, just looking a little tired.

He knew that Shen Yuechen didn't like the smell of alcohol, so he just sat and drank tea with her and talked, then went to the next room to rest.

Seeing this, Shen Yuechen smiled and stretched out his hand to grab his sleeve, and said: "The wing room next door has been empty for several days, and the beds haven't been replaced yet."

Zhu Jintang sat down in response, lowered his head and sniffed the smell of alcohol on his body, and said again: "I'd better go wash it, lest you smell bad."

Shen Yuechen smiled sweetly, and raised her head to signal Chun Ming to wait for him to wash and change clothes.

In the past, she did things like this by herself, without using the maids, but now, if it was like before, it would be a bit brazen.

After taking a bath and changing clothes, Zhu Jintang looked much refreshed.

Shen Yuechen sat on the bed with his clothes on, propped his head on one hand, and looked at him leisurely.

Zhu Jintang couldn't help hesitating for a while, then coughed lightly, went to the table and poured himself another cup of tea, and said, "Just now, my aunt said that she will prepare everything for home, so we don't need to worry about it."

Seeing him mentioning this matter suddenly, Shen Yuechen also sat up straight and said, "Eldest aunt is really considerate and careful. I just told her about going back today, and she has already started preparing."

Zhu Jintang kept staring at the teacup in his hand, without looking at her, and responded: "My aunt has always been careful. Although she has been married for many years, she still remembers what I liked to eat when I was young? What did I like? What did I not like? ?”

Shen Yuechen smiled, and didn't say anything more. He was sitting at the table drinking tea all the time, which was a bit strange.Who knows, after he finished drinking a glass, he poured himself another glass, very slowly.

Shen Yuechen couldn't help but uttered dissuasion: "It's not advisable to drink more tea at night, I'd better ask Chun Ming to bring you another bowl of hangover soup."

Zhu Jintang quickly waved his hands and said, "No need, you go to bed first, I think there is something to confirm." After finishing speaking, he got up and walked to the desk and took out an account book, pretending to read it carefully, but in fact there was not a single word in it. Can't even look in.

Perhaps it was because of the alcohol that he always felt that his body was very hot. If he didn't quiet down for a while, he would definitely not be able to fall asleep.Not to mention sharing the same bed with Shen Yuechen, he was always a little worried about himself.

Shen Yuechen naturally didn't know his embarrassment, turned over and fell asleep on his own, without a dream all night.

Two days later, Zhu Jintang brought Shen Yuechen back to Shen's house.Different from last time, Shen Zhiyun went out to greet him personally, very concerned.

Goodbye to Shen Zhiyun, Zhu Jintang's heart felt as if he had knotted his shoes all the time, he was very uncomfortable, and his attitude towards him also returned to indifference and alienation, just like when they first met.

Shen Zhiyun was also vaguely aware of it, but thinking of the many things that had happened recently, he didn't pretend to be fussy with this junior.After all, seeing Shen Yuechen appearing in front of his eyes safe and sound is undoubtedly something to be happy about.

Although she was not blessed, her fate was very hard.If it were someone else, she would have died many times, but she was always able to survive, which can barely be regarded as a blessing.
