Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 184 Helpless (2)

Li made the decision as a last resort, and was still feeling stuffy and uncomfortable. When he left, he didn't even look at Zhu Jintang, as if he was secretly angry.

Zhu Feng was well aware of her temperament, and after leaving the door, he slowed down his pace and said softly, "You don't have to get angry with Jintang, he did go too far this time, but at least he hasn't forgotten his duty Now, things haven't reached that level of urgency, he is still young and full of vigor, just wait a bit."

Li Shi held back her grievances, but she didn't want to complain to her husband, she just said: "After all, it's all my fault, I spoiled that child Jintang, completely spoiled."

Hearing this, Zhu Feng shook his head with a smile that was not a smile, "He is an adult, he should have his own principles. You have to take care of yourself, don't make yourself sick at this time. If you are sick, second brother Still don't know how to go about it? Besides, you still have to choose someone for Jintang?"

Li Shi didn't care about the eyes of the servants, she took her husband's arm as she walked, and said in a slightly relaxed tone: "How dare I get sick, just such a friend who has been brought up so hard, I don't care for him Planning, who is planning for him? But the master should pay more attention, recently, he always coughs at night..."

The two of them spoke softly and intimately, but their originally depressed mood gradually calmed down.

At this time, in the room, the old lady was too tired to sit still.

Zhu Jintang felt ashamed, so he stayed until the end.

Mr. Zhu seemed not ready to go to bed yet, so he waved to him and said, "This day is boring enough, let's go out for a walk together."

Hearing this, Zhu Jintang hurriedly stepped forward, helped him stand up and said, "Where does Grandpa want to go?"

"Well, just walk around."

The grandpa and grandson walked side by side, the old lady looked up, smiled helplessly, and told Mama Yang: "Order the kitchen to heat up the food and drinks."

Yang's mother smiled knowingly and let out an "ah".

The old man and Zhu Jintang walked around the yard, and finally sat down in a pavilion. Before they could give orders, Mama Yang brought over warm wine and vegetables, as well as some pastries.

Seeing this, the old man smiled and said nothing, but waved his hand to signal them to back down.

Zhu Jintang picked up the jug and poured wine for his grandfather, "It's getting late, it's good for grandpa to drink a cup to warm his stomach, not to drink too much."

Seeing that he didn't pour himself a glass, the old man said, "You should have a drink too. You must be feeling annoyed these days."

Zhu Jintang shook his head silently.

In front of his elders, he seldom complained.

The old man took a sip of the wine, smacked the taste carefully, and muttered: "This is originally a matter in your own room, we old bones shouldn't care so much..."

Zhu Jintang hurriedly said: "It's because the grandson is unfilial. He can't take care of the housework, which makes you worry and sad."

The old man took another sip of wine: "Our worries are true, but your mother is the only one who feels sad. Now that you have grown up, you have your own principles and thoughts, but you are not as obedient as you were when you were a child."

Zhu Jintang smiled lightly.

The old man continued: "Don't blame your mother for being too harsh. She is really afraid that you will be wronged. Your mother has only one son like you in her life. No one knows how much effort she spent to bring him up. So , she understands the suffering better than anyone else. When you were a child, as long as you coughed, your mother would tremble in her heart. She was afraid that you would get sick, that you would fall, or that you would be picky eaters. To be honest, she guarded you. It’s the same as guarding your own lifeline!”

At this time, it is the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the night breeze is cool and accompanied by the fragrance of flowers, which is intoxicating.A round of bright moon is hanging in the middle of the sky, bright and clean, making people feel comfortable.

This situation, the fragrant wind and the drunk moon, happened to be a night where we could have a good heart-to-heart talk.

"Your mother has worked hard, maybe a little anxious, a little arrogant, but there is only one thing in her heart. So, you have to be considerate of her..." Mr. Zhu finished speaking softly, sighed again, and poured out the wine in the glass. , drink it all.

Zhu Jintang immediately replied after hearing the words: "My mother has put in so much effort and kindness, how can Jintang not know...but, these days, Jintang has devoted himself to protecting his wife, and his words and deeds have been unfilial. Jintang is deeply ashamed. From now on, Jintang will never act so arbitrarily and do as he pleases."

Mr. Zhu tapped his wine glass, signaling him to pour himself another drink.

Zhu Jintang immediately took the pot with both hands and poured another cup for the old man.

Seeing this, Mr. Zhu raised his eyebrows lightly, and said to his grandson with a smile: "It's not a bad thing to be self-willed once in a while. In the past two years, your life has not been easy. Grandpa knows that you don't even have a single person who can talk to you. That child Yuechen is indeed a good child, he has no ambitions, no pretentiousness, and looks very safe."

Seeing that his grandfather had suddenly praised Shen Yuechen, Zhu Jintang couldn't help being slightly taken aback, and said in surprise, "I never thought, Grandpa, you can still praise Yuechen like this at this moment. Jintang will thank you for her."

The smile on the old man's face was very gentle: "Why? Do you think that I advocated divorce because I didn't like the child? I always like to discuss things as they are. So, although I like that child, You can't lose your own opinion. Jintang, you have to know that no one wants to be a villain in this family. Every sentence, every absolute, is for this family. Of course, the same, today I will change my mind, and it is also for this For the sake of everyone, but you and Brother Ming think more. She is the woman you like, and the mother that Brother Ming likes. Grandpa is willing to help you both."

He has always had clear boundaries, close and distant, as long as it is not a relative, it is an outsider.And once you become a relative, you will never become an outsider.

Zhu Jintang thought about it in his heart, and then replied lightly: "She is indeed very good. Since she got married, life has become much more comfortable and happy."

This is his sincere words.Many times, he couldn't help wondering why he didn't meet her earlier and better.

Mr. Zhu smiled slightly when he heard the words. He is also a person who has been there, so he naturally has a deep understanding.

"There will be no one else here. Tell grandpa, what do you like about that child?"

Zhu Jintang was slightly taken aback, and seemed to cough twice in embarrassment.

The old man smiled again and said: "In terms of family status, the Shen family is not as famous as the Qin family back then. In terms of appearance, she is not as delicate and charming as Qin Hongjuan. In terms of talent, she seems to be not as good as the Qin family in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is proficient in everything... ...But you like her very much, even more than you like Qin Shi, don't you?"

Zhu Jintang put his hands flat on his knees, breathed slowly and said: "Yes, grandson himself never thought that he would be so attentive to a woman. She is completely different from the Qin family. Although she came from an official family, she has no Pretentious, and there is no luxury on her body, she always looks light, very simple, and easy to think about, every time I stay with her, I always feel relaxed."

After hearing the words, Mr. Zhu seemed to understand something, and said: "This is the way of husband and wife. The most important thing is to get along with each other comfortably."

The old man has been passionate all his life but not indiscriminately. Although he has many wives and concubines, the one he cares most about is always his wife.

"Women who are too smart are not pleasing, and women who are too beautiful are troublesome. Only gentle and reasonable women are the most popular."

"Grandpa is very right. She is such a popular woman. Since I was a child, I have almost never had obsessions, but she is an exception."

To be honest, he had made selfish assumptions at first, but every time such thoughts turned in his mind, he felt as if he had been hit hard with a sap, and he felt dizzy and uncomfortable. Even my heart is blocked.

In any case, it was a terrible feeling.

Seeing that he was serious, the old man tapped his finger on the table and said, "You should have another drink, too."

It was really not easy for those words to come out of his mouth.Because, like his father Zhu Feng, Zhu Jintang was raised as a family member since he was a child. He is mature, restrained, and never reveals his sincerity easily.

Zhu Jintang drank a glass of wine slowly and remained silent for a while.

The same is true for the old man. The grandfather and grandson sat quietly for a while until the wine in the flagon changed from warm to cold.

As the night was getting dark, Mama Yang came over to persuade her in a low voice: "It's getting late, you two should go back and rest earlier."

The old man got up slowly, Zhu Jintang stepped forward to help him, but he stopped him and said: "I'm not that old yet, it's okay." After finishing speaking, he gave Zhu Jintang a meaningful look , said lightly: "It is not easy to keep a woman for a long time. It is even more difficult to keep a family business for a long time. The road ahead will only become more and more difficult. The harder it is, the more dangerous it is. Now that you have made up your mind, there is no turning back, let alone repentance! Otherwise, you will kill your woman and lose your family business. If you want to keep her, you must first Hold on to this home, hold on to your position."

Although he had drunk, his tone was still sonorous and forceful when he spoke, with an undeniable solemnity.

Zhu Jintang hurriedly stood upright, and said: "Grandpa's words, my grandson will always keep in mind, and will continue to do my best in the future, to be a person who keeps his word, and will do what he says."

The old man smiled lightly when he heard the words, he didn't say any more, and let the maids go forward to take him back to rest.

Zhu Jintang looked at his back as he gradually walked away, and his mood suddenly became a little complicated and heavy.

He walked back slowly all the way, while dispersing the smell of alcohol, while clearing his mind.

On the other side, Shen Yuechen arranged the two children properly early, and then sat in the room, quietly waiting for Zhu Jintang to come back.

The maids came back to report every now and then, and told Shen Yuechen all about the situation in the upper room, so that she could feel at ease.

Shen Yuechen heard that Mr. Zhu went to drink in the courtyard alone with Zhu Jintang, and felt a little uneasy, but then thought about the attitude of the old man earlier, and felt that he was thinking too much.

After a while, Zhu Jintang lifted the curtain and entered the room, Shen Yuechen was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up to greet him.

Because she was worried, she looked Zhu Jintang up and down anxiously, and was secretly relieved when she saw that there was nothing unusual about him except for his slightly red face.

Chun Ming brought hot water and towels, Zhu Jintang wiped his face and washed his hands, then turned to Shen Yuechen, and said calmly, "What? Seeing your nervous face, are you afraid that I won't be able to get beaten up in the room?"
