Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 198 Ability (3)

Xiaotao froze for a moment, then smiled contentedly, tightened the quilt in her arms, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Zhu Jinlun made an exception and brought Xiaotao to pay his parents a respect.

Seeing this, Zhu Jun suddenly understood, frowned slightly, coughed, and then looked at his wife, Chai, and blamed himself: "My son is about to get married, so why add a newcomer to him at this time, in case the in-laws want to marry him?" Got it, don't you have to be extra careful?
Mrs. Chai could feel her husband's gaze, but she didn't see it. She only looked at her radiant son and Xiao Tao'er, and said with a slight smile, "My son, why did you bring her here?"

Zhu Jinlun said lightly: "The son brought her here to thank his mother."

Chai asked knowingly: "Thank you? What do you want to thank me for?"

Zhu Jinlun bowed his head: "My son thanked his mother for her sincerity, so that my son could embrace a beautiful woman as he wished."

When Chai heard the words, she couldn't help smiling, but Zhu Jun didn't smile, but the expression on his face eased a little, not as rigid as before.

"It's fine if you like it. As long as it's what you like, mother will never stop you. You have a caring person by your side. Seeing you happy makes me and your father happy too."

Chai said these words with a happy face. Seeing her son happy, she naturally felt happy too.What's more, the girl Xiaotao looks too ostentatious, if she doesn't make a decision sooner, if a catastrophe happens, the loss outweighs the gain.

Standing beside him, Zhu Jun silently withdrew his gaze. When he averted his gaze, he also completely cut off any subtle thoughts about Xiaotao in his heart.

There are many beauties, but there is only one precious son, he knows which one is lighter and which one is heavier, and he knows it in his own mind, so he doesn't need his wife Chai to remind him everywhere.

After Zhu Jun drank his tea, he got up and looked at his son and said, "Today, the owner of Huanxilou invited me to taste wine. If you are free, come and walk with me."

Zhu Jinlun stood up, saluted and said goodbye to his mother, then gave Xiaotao a gentle wink, and went out.

Chai took advantage of the situation and left Xiaotao alone to talk, never leaving Zhu Jinlun in three words, and even asked about their intercourse last night, which made her flush with shame and fidget.

Seeing it in her eyes, Chai couldn't help chuckling, she felt that she was really pure-hearted and couldn't hide anything on her face, so she smiled and said: "Since you have already shared the same room, then you will have sex with Du Juan from now on." Same, she is the servant girl of the Second Young Master. She entered the mansion earlier than you, and she is quick in handling things and diligent in her hands and feet. You have to learn more from her." When she said this, she paused intentionally, and said in a deep thought: "I want to Thinking about it, she has been by Nylon's side for five years. Time flies so fast."

Five years... At first hearing these two words, Xiaotao's heart tightened slightly, thinking: So, she has been serving Zhu Jinlun for so long, that's why she is full of hostility towards her.

Chai saw that she was in a daze and didn't answer, so she patted Xiaotao's hand and said gently: "You are the embryo of a beauty, you are destined to be favored in the future, take good care of Jinlun, and strive to have a son and a half for him as soon as possible." , is what matters."

When Xiaotao heard this, she felt shy at first, but then she looked at Chai as if suddenly enlightened, and blinked her eyes puzzled.

Chai couldn't help laughing in a daze: "Silly boy, what's wrong with you?"

Xiaotao remembered the bowl of soup last night, and hurriedly asked: "Madam...Actually, last night after the servant served the second young master, Sister Du Juan once brought a bowl of soup to the servant, saying it was a contraceptive medicine..."

Chai asked back in surprise, "Really? There is such a thing?"

Xiaotao nodded and continued: "Yes, sister Du Juan said that this is the rule set by you, madam. However, the slaves did not drink... because the second young master said, slaves don't need to drink."

Hearing this, Mrs. Chai glanced at her meaningfully, and said after a while, "It's a good thing you didn't drink it. You are still young, how can you stand those things. This cuckoo is really confused. I just let her drink it by herself. Pay attention all the time, I never thought that she would decide on her own and include you in it. It's really outrageous..."

Xiao Tao bit her lower lip, but didn't answer, and began to feel a little scared in her heart.Unexpectedly, Chai changed the subject again, and said gently: "But she is doing her duty in doing so. Nylon is getting married soon, and there are some things that can't be rushed... A slave who knows how to be considerate of the master and thinks of the master, can do it." She is a good servant."

Xiaotao's mind turned quickly, and she soon understood the strangeness in Chai's words.Come to think of it, the bowl of medicine last night was indeed Chai's idea.However, because of the appearance of the second young master, nothing happened just now.

Chai had always hoped that Zhu Jinlun would have a son sooner, and it would be even better if he was a legitimate son.Now that her son is getting married soon, she will soon be able to embrace her grandson.It's just that before the new daughter-in-law came in, there was a new favorite beside the son, which was by no means a good sign.

If the bride is jealous and Xiao Tao is pregnant with a child at this time, it will definitely cause another disturbance.A maid, no matter how good she is, cannot steal the limelight from her master.

Xiao Tao returned from the main room to the wing room, and the first person she saw was Du Juan.

She still had a smile on her face, and behind her was a young girl with a double bun. She had a small face and looked very pleasing.

Seeing her coming towards her, Xiaotao quickly stepped forward and gave a half-respect: "Hello, sister."

Du Juan has woken up from the annoyance of last night, she thought carefully and thought again, she was really unwilling to be compared by a little girl like this.

The bowl of medicine last night was considered lucky for her, and she avoided it.At the same time, it also reminded Du Juan that instead of worrying about her all day, it is better to focus on the second young master.

Du Juan said softly: "Sister came just in time, I was going to bring a little maid to look for you."

Last night, Zhu Jinlun said that he wanted to find a maid to serve Xiaotao.Since it is what the master said, no matter whether they like it or not, they have to follow it.

Xiaotao has many scruples about her, so she can only smile slightly at this moment: "I'm really bothering my sister."

The smile on Du Juan's face deepened, he turned his head and gave the little girl a wink, and said, "Come and meet Miss Xiaotao, from now on, you will be hers."

The little girl looked only eleven or twelve years old, and said with a childish face: "Servant, please greet the girl."

When Xiao Tao heard this, her face was slightly embarrassed, she is not even an aunt now.

Du Juan also smiled thoughtfully, looked at her face with demonstrative eyes, and said in his heart: Let's wait and see, I want to see, how capable are you?

At noon, the sun was shining brightly.In the past, at this time, Shen Yuechen was preparing lunch at home, but today was indeed different, she was sitting in a carriage, passing through the busy streets, heading towards Yong'an Avenue in the northwest corner of Texas.

As a housewife, Shen Yuechen seldom had the opportunity to move around.Today she was able to leave the mansion because of Zhu Jintang's favor.

Zhu Jintang had an excuse to go outside for a dinner party, and he also brought his family and wives with him.In fact, it was just a temporary idea on his mind, but it allowed Shen Yuechen to come out and walk freely without looking at Li Shi's face.

A few days ago, Shen Yuechen informed Zhu Jintang of his idea of ​​starting a shop and doing business.

Zhu Jintang first smiled when he heard the words, but felt that she was just joking.However, when she saw her looking at him seriously, she realized that she never liked to joke, and she always said something, which seemed to be a serious plan.

Seeing that she was so serious, Zhu Jintang did not object, but murmured slightly: "Doing business seems not difficult, but in fact it is not easy. In fact, mother and aunt also have a few shops under their names, but it is not easy. It's just a name, you don't need to worry about the business, you just need to collect the dividends when the day comes. If you want to do the same, I can find a place for you..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Yuechen shook his head and said: "That's not considered a business, I want to do something for real, not just in name."

Zhu Jintang said in a deep voice: "According to your current situation, you have to manage your family and manage your business at the same time, can you bear it?"

He likes a capable woman, but he doesn't like her being aggressive, knowing that she can't do it on purpose.

Shen Yuechen said softly: "Family affairs are mostly account matters, and they are not tiring. I know how my body is, so I will definitely do what I can, and I will never show off."

Zhu Jintang thought for a while, then said: "Well, if you want to try it, then try it. But there is one thing, you can't keep this matter from your family, and you must inform the elders before it happens."

Shen Yuechen nodded again and again: "It's natural, you don't have to worry about it. If you can't get the consent of the elders, I will stop doing it and stay at home with peace of mind."

The reason why she said this is that she still has some confidence in her heart.She believed that her idea would definitely be able to persuade the elders to agree, especially Mr. Zhu.As long as he can nod, the others naturally have nothing to say.

Zhu Jintang was surprised by her thoughts, and also a little curious, so he asked, "What do you want to do? A silk and satin shop? Or a rouge shop?"

Women's business is mostly these things, and there are restaurants and restaurants.However, places like restaurants and restaurants are too public, and it is really not suitable for her as a woman.

Shen Yuechen shook his head and said: "There are shops like this everywhere. I don't care about it, I want to make something new."

fresh?Zhu Jintang couldn't figure out what she was thinking at all, so he said: "What's your idea? Tell me first, I can help you as a staff member anyway."

Shen Yuechen pretended to be mysterious and smiled: "Master, don't worry, let me keep it a secret for now, when the time comes, I will naturally tell you."

"Playing with mystery." Zhu Jintang shook his head helplessly, tapped the tip of her nose, and said, "Now you have learned how to whet people's appetites."

Shen Yuechen smiled softly, then held his palm, and continued: "However, I still have something to ask for. My uncle is well-informed and has a lot of connections. Can you help me find a good place to open a shop? It’s a gatehouse with about three floors, spacious, tidy layout, many rooms and good lighting.”

Zhu Jintang was puzzled when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "How big of a business do you want to be, and you still need to use a three-story gatehouse. In this way, the rent alone will cost as much as one hundred taels a year."

He didn't feel sorry for Yinzi, but he was just worried that she was too ambitious and started too far, so the gain outweighed the loss.

Shen Yuechen said: "Master, trust me for now, and help me pay attention."
