Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 192 Nobles (1)

To be honest, if Mr. Chen hadn't spared his face to protect the Zhu family's matchmaker, He Changhai would not have been willing to marry his precious daughter He Yalin to the Zhu family in Texas.

Originally, when Mr. Chen came to He's house to propose marriage.At that time, the Qin family hadn't experienced any changes, but now that the Qin family has fallen, the He family saw it in their eyes and kept it in their hearts. Thinking about the unpredictable changes in the officialdom, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future.Fortunately, the Zhu family has a solid family background and a prominent reputation, so they can be regarded as close relatives.

Zhu Jinlun hasn't seen He Yalin yet, but he often hears his mother Chai talking about her.

Seeing that, the day of getting married is only a few months away.Mrs. Chai had already started to prepare for the wedding, but when she was pregnant, she didn't dare to make too much fuss, so she could only prepare one by one, and she couldn't be in a hurry.

Zhu Jinlun is a playful person, but he has never been obsessed with women. He treats women seemingly affectionately, but in fact he is alienated. Usually, he is just playing on the occasion of entertainment, and never cares.

After breakfast, Zhu Jinlun went to greet the elders first. The old lady heard that he had a drink with Zhu Jintang last night, so she couldn't help but feel happy, and said with a smile on her face: "Your elder brother and sister-in-law just returned, you are late step."

Zhu Jinlun said with a faint smile: "Brother and sister-in-law are always diligent, I am different from them, I have always been lazy."

Hearing this, the old lady smiled and waved to him: "Who said that? It's just right for you to come. The kitchen has stewed tonic in the morning. You can eat a bowl before leaving."

Zhu Jinlun bent down and squatted in front of the old lady, holding her hand, and said with a smile: "Please worry grandma, my grandson has already eaten, so I will come here to say hello."

The old man sat aside, dozed off with his eyes closed, listened to the conversation between their grandparents and grandson, opened his mouth slightly and said: "It's already this hour, how could Mrs. Chai let him go out on an empty stomach? Don't be naughty, go early Let the children go out."

When people get old, their speech becomes trivial.Things that can be clearly explained in one sentence have to be repeated several times over and over again.

Hearing this, the old lady looked aside helplessly, and said, "I've only said a few words, and the master will get bored." After she finished speaking, she patted Zhu Jinlun's back again, and said with a smile: " All right, you go out too, come back earlier in the evening, don't drink."

Zhu Jinlun answered yes, stood up and bowed to the two of them, and then went out.

He just walked to the door, and suddenly heard a bell, and immediately stopped, making Zhu Fu behind him stunned, his feet almost stumbled, and hurriedly said: "What's wrong with the second master?"

Zhu Jinlun didn't speak, but just raised his right hand to signal him not to speak, and followed, just like last night, he followed the crisp sound and searched for it.

Zhu Fu looked puzzled, but he didn't dare to make a sound, so he could only follow behind him silently.

Zhu Jinlun walked along the long corridor, and soon at the corner, he saw a thin figure.

"Stop." Zhu Jinlun ordered her to stop her footsteps.

Zhu Fu looked at a little girl dressed as a maid standing with her back to them, and said, "Did the second master call you? What are you still doing, come and answer."

The little girl's figure froze slightly, she raised her foot hesitantly, before turning around, she heard Zhu Jinlun say: "Don't think about running again this time."

The little girl was startled when she heard the words, but she didn't dare to slip away anymore, turned around with her head lowered, knelt on the ground and said: "My maidservant, send my regards to Second Lord."

Her voice sounded childish and timid.

Zhu Jinlun took a good look at her, reckoning her age, at most thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a half-worn blue dress, with a copper bell tied with a red string tied around her waist.

Sure enough, it was her, the "bell ghost" I met last night.

Zhu Jinlun asked in a low voice: "The maid who sneaked away in the garden last night was you, right?"

The little girl lowered her head, bit her lips slightly, then knelt down on the ground and kowtowed: "I know I'm wrong, I didn't expect to disturb the second master, I should die... I didn't want to run away at first, but I was afraid that Madam Liu would find out. Afterwards, the servant will be punished... the servant really realizes his mistake, I beg the second master to be kind enough to spare the servant this time."

If she knew that the person she bumped into last night was the second master, even if she was lent a hundred courage, she wouldn't dare to run around.It's just, I didn't expect that I was able to hide from last night, but I couldn't hide from my eyes, and I was caught firmly by others.

Zhu Jinlun heard the words, and said lightly: "You think you won't be punished if you run away? Which courtyard are you from?"

"The servant girl is from the South Courtyard...the servant girl who is in charge of serving Aunt Sun..."

After Mrs. Sun got mad, the maids around her changed again and again, and no one was willing to serve a crazy and statusless master.

Mrs. Sun's situation was good and sometimes bad, and occasionally she got sick, and there was nothing she could do to hurt others.Therefore, the Zhu family had to bring in newcomers every now and then.However, they are also servants.The little girl who works in the south courtyard is like mud on the ground compared to the maids who serve the lady.

"What's your name? What's your name?" Zhu Fu half-understood, thinking, the second master asked himself if there was a newcomer in the mansion early in the morning, so he didn't just want to inquire about this little girl, right?He quickly answered the question and asked.

"The servant's name is Xiaotao."

Zhu Jinlun saw that she was still young, and she was still a half-grown child, so he stopped being harsh and said: "Since you are working in the south courtyard, why are you wandering around in the main courtyard?"

"The maidservant came to pick jasmine flowers, and took them back for Aunt Sun's medicine to soothe the nerves."

The fragrance of jasmine is quiet, the color is plain white, and it also has the effect of calming the mind and mind. It can also be used as medicine, which indeed has many good uses.However, the south courtyard was always deserted, and there were no such flowers and plants at all.

Zhu Fu saw that the second master had finished asking one sentence after another, and thought to himself: I don't think the second master usually pays so much attention to any maidservants?Could it be that he was taken by the second master?
Thinking of this, Zhu Fu squinted his eyes again and looked at the little girl kneeling on the ground, and hurriedly said: "Our second master is talking to you, can you always keep your head down? Quickly raise your head and let the second master have a look."

Xiaotao hesitated a little when she heard this, but still raised her head.

A pair of big black eyes, full of panic, a round face with a little blush, slender brows and cherry lips, and small facial features are unforgettable.Although she was dressed in plain clothes, she didn't look shabby at all, on the contrary, she brought out her pure and pleasant charm.

Looking like a child, but the beauty is so extraordinary, people can't help but feel surprised, surprised, and then, inadvertently, the eyes feel inseparable.

Zhu Fu was startled, then said "Hey", turned around and looked at Zhu Jinlun and said, "Oh, my second master, this little girl is a beauty."

Zhu Jinlun also didn't expect that, while sizing up the person in front of her, she thought to herself: With her appearance, she shouldn't be working in the south courtyard, she should be in front of the wife and aunt, and be loved by others.

Zhu Fu has followed Zhu Jinlun for several years, and he has seen many beauties before and after.It's just that it's rare to see such a coquettish and cowardly person.

The woman in Fengyue Field is bright and charming, but she also has a faintly seductive aura. I always feel that she is smiling at you while reaching out her slender hand to touch your purse, which is very cunning.

Zhu Jinlun thought for a while and said, "When did you enter the mansion?"

Hearing this, Xiaotao lowered her head again, and timidly replied: "The servant just entered the mansion three days ago, and has been doing odd jobs in the south courtyard. I hope you will do well, second master, and give the servant a way of life. Don't drive the servant away. go out……"

Standing aside, Zhu Fu couldn't help but laugh in his heart when he heard what she said. After all, she is a little girl who doesn't understand anything.

With her appearance and second master's current expression, how could it be possible to throw her out?If you want to kick her out, you should "throw her" into your own courtyard.

Zhu Fu looked at Zhu Jinlun's face, saw that he was frowning slightly, and deliberately said: "Second Master, calm down, this girl surprised you last night, and today she came here to obstruct your eyes, I definitely can't just let it go. "

Sure enough, as he had expected, Zhu Jinlun turned his head and glared at him halfway through hearing it, and said, "What are you trying to do? I haven't even spoken yet, and you're about to lose your temper?"

Zhu Fu hurriedly said: "The young one doesn't dare, isn't the young one afraid of being disturbed by the sight of the master? The house is so big, there are so many deserted corners, the young one just sends her to the backyard."

"Who said I was upset? You will come to be my master now." Zhu Jinlun's tone was vaguely displeased.

Zhu Fu heard it clearly, he didn't dare to be presumptuous any more, he lowered his head and asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhu Jinlun's gaze sank slightly, "Let's do this first, let's go."

He just dropped such a sentence, then turned and left.

Zhu Fu stood there in a daze for a second, and then quickly rushed up, but after thinking about it, he felt wrong, turned around and looked at Xiao Tao who was still kneeling on the ground, and said softly: "Girl, get up, today you are meeting a nobleman." Now, go back and wait for Xin'er."

Xiao Tao looked at him puzzled, then at Zhu Jinlun who was walking further and further away, then lowered her head again, stood up and ran back in a hurry.

Zhu Fu followed after Zhu Jinlun, and said cautiously: "Second Master, let the little girl go back."

Zhu Jinlun lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the stone road under his feet. He didn't speak for a while, and said for a long time: "Didn't you say before that we should add more people to the yard? Hurry up and get more people back."

Zhu Fu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately understood what he meant, nodded and said: "Yes, I understand."

at dusk.

Zhu Jintang saw that Shen Yuechen was preparing dinner happily, and he couldn't help asking curiously: "What good thing happened to you today? From morning till now, have you been so happy?"

Shen Yuechen arranged the last pair of chopsticks, raised her head and said with a smile, "I do have a good thing. Grandma sent someone to say that her old man is going back to Dezhou."

Zhu Jintang frowned: "Didn't the old man live in the capital all the time? Why did he suddenly come back?"

Shen Yuechen said indifferently: "Grandmother said a long time ago that she doesn't like the environment in the capital city, and she wants to return to her hometown to retire and live a quiet life for two days. Also, she has been thinking about the old house at home, saying that it is comfortable to live in."

Zhu Jintang didn't pay too much attention when I heard the words, just nodded and said: "It's true. When you get older, there are always things you can't let go of in your heart. It's good for the old man to come back, so that when you want to go out in the future, you can also You can go and accompany her."
