Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 18
Looking at Shen Yuechen's graceful back, Mama Wu sighed deeply, feeling both sour and sweet in her heart, with an indescribable feeling.

Seeing Shen Yuechen's attire, the old lady was naturally very satisfied, and said in person: "It looks good."

Dress her up beautifully, and when she is taken out, people will look decent, and her face will also be radiant, so why not do it.

Shen Yuechen lowered his eyes slightly, pretending to be shy and sitting in front of her, silent.

Before going out, although the old lady didn't say much and only asked them to behave well, Shen Yuechen could still see from the serious look on her face how much she cared about going to the Zhu Mansion for a banquet today.

Xiao Shi and her two daughters were still dressed up beautifully, full of jewels.

Shen Yuechen and the old lady were in the same carriage, except for the two servant girls Chunxi and Chunying, they didn't take any more people with them, because Nanny Li was too old and Madam Wu didn't go out often, so the old lady specially assigned them Two young and sensible people accompanied him, and Chunying, who was the most experienced in handling things, was responsible for taking care of Shen Yuechen.

Along the way, the sweltering heat in the carriage made people sweat frequently on their foreheads.Although the ice basin was placed, it still didn't work. The maids fanned their fans vigorously, so tired that their wrists ached.

"Grandmother, are you bored?" Shen Yuechen looked at the sweat dripping from the old lady's nostrils, asked for an extra fan from Chunxi, and fanned her gently.

The old lady was sweating all over, she lifted the curtain of the car and looked outside, then she glanced at Shen Yuechen beside her, seeing that her face was clean and still looking refreshed, she couldn't help wondering: "You Why is the child different from others? They don’t even feel hot.”

Shen Yuechen fanned quietly, and replied, "I'm fine."

Hearing this, the old lady sighed depressingly, and said, "Bring me some peppermint oil."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chunxi immediately found out, and was about to hand it over, but saw Shen Yuechen stretched out his hand, and immediately handed it to her.

Shen Yuechen opened the box, dipped a little bit with fingertips, and gently applied it on the old lady's temples.

"Is grandma feeling better?"

"Well, it's cooler." The old lady closed her eyes and meditated.

Traveling in the summer is a suffering, especially for women who wear makeup, the rouge and gouache on their faces will be melted into a mess with sweat.

The carriage had only driven for half an hour, and Xiao Shi had to pick up the small copper mirror again to touch up her makeup.

Shen Yuexuan watched her apply a thick layer of powder on her face again, frowned slightly and said, "Mother, the powder on your face is too thick."

Xiao looked at himself in the bronze mirror, raised his eyebrows and said: "How about not painting it thicker, so as to look good."

It is rare for women in the deep house to come out for a walk, and since they are coming from such a prestigious family as the Zhu family, Xiao naturally hopes that she can show her face properly.

Shen Yuekui curled her lips disapprovingly, and lifted up the corner of her skirt, trying to cool herself down.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xiao immediately put on a straight face, and said a lesson: "Hurry up and behave yourself, this is outside, and it's in your own room, don't look like a girl's house."

Shen Yuewei frowned and said impatiently: "It's just the three of us, and no one else can see it."

Seeing her sluggish look, Mrs. Xiao's face suddenly became ugly, hating iron for being weak.

Along the way, Shen Yuechang quietly raised the curtain, secretly watching the situation outside, looking left and right, with a vague look of eagerness.

When she saw the magnificent and spacious gate of Zhu's house from a distance, and there was a big stone lion lying on both sides of the gate with a high-spirited and domineering posture, the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up slightly.
