Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 208 Xiaotao's Conspiracy (1)

Zhu Jun reluctantly put the Tang Sancai back into the cabinet, then turned around and looked at the face of his son Zhu Jinlun, "When your uncle and I were young, we saw with our own eyes how your grandmother struggled to maintain this family. .Even if the family’s accountant can’t get a tael of silver, your grandmother still has the ability to manage the family’s weddings and weddings in a beautiful manner, and no one can find any flaws. In fact, half of the credit for the Zhu family’s success today is your grandmother’s , and her natal family."

In business, there are losses and profits. No one can always be a "constant victor" and always make a lot of money.

Zhu Jun remembers that when he was seven years old, Dezhou encountered a severe drought that was rare in a century, and the surrounding fields were barren, with no grass growing.Not to mention food, even the fodder to feed the livestock has to be transported from other places.Natural disasters and man-made disasters cannot be avoided.The lack of harvest throughout the year has put the Zhu family's business in jeopardy. However, the high prices on the black market have made the Zhu family heavily in debt and almost bankrupt.At that time, the old man of the Zhu family had to take out his ancestral old house as a mortgage in order to borrow a little silver for two weeks.At the critical moment, the old lady took out all her dowry and went back to her natal family in Cangzhou by boat. She tried her best to raise a large sum of money to help Zhu's family survive the crisis.

"It was the same with your cousin back then. You also know how many big deals the Qin family's fame brought us back then? Those tens of thousands of taels of deals were definitely not something ordinary people could get. So, son, Think about it carefully, once the new daughter-in-law gets married, how many opportunities are waiting for us in a place as big as Qingzhou? And those opportunities belong to you." When Zhu Jun finished speaking, he patted Patting Zhu Jinlun on the shoulder, he said with emphasis: "This marriage is a good opportunity for us to start to be the masters of the house, you know."

Zhu Jinlun understood the meaning of his father's words. He raised his head, looked directly into his father's eyes, and said solemnly: "My son knows the importance."

Zhu Jun smiled slightly: "Of course, you are my son. You have a unique vision since you were a child, and you know what is valuable and what is not. That maid named Xiaotao is just a novelty for a while. Don't let your mother worry about it. Her body is getting heavier and heavier every day."

Zhu Jinlun replied: "I have my own discretion in my own affairs, and I will not let my mother and you worry about it."

Hearing this, Zhu Jun withdrew his hand and said, "That's good, that's enough, let's not talk about it. I'm a little hungry, let the servants prepare the meal."

To save trouble, Zhu Jinlun ate in the study with his father Zhu Jun.However, Zhu Jinlun didn't have much appetite for this meal, and he felt a little tasteless after eating.

Although his father's words were very reasonable and his request was not too much, but to Zhu Jinlun, it still made him feel depressed.

Family relationships are indeed very important. Everyone benefits from each other and can get rich benefits from the relationship between each other.This is definitely a good thing, but if everything in life has to be carefully calculated, such a life would be too boring.

It doesn't matter if it's just a maidservant he likes, but he is still so young, he doesn't want to just care about every detail, live his life only for profit, or like Zhu Jintang, even if he becomes the next generation head of the family, he still sticks to the rules and has nothing new ... His life shouldn't just go on like this... It is his ambition to become the next head of the Zhu family, but it doesn't include becoming another Zhu Jintang himself.

Because Zhu Jinlun ate dinner directly in his father's study, Du Juan carefully arranged the dinner prepared in the kitchen, but it didn't come in handy as expected, which made her feel a little disappointed.

The second young master seldom eats supper at night, if these dishes are not eaten, after the night, it will be even more unpleasant.

Du Juan sighed distressedly: "Keep the quail eggs and pearl soup, and share the rest with you."

When everyone heard this, they immediately burst into smiles.

Seeing this, Du Juan gouged them out with displeasure, and cursed: "They are all heartless things! The serious master didn't get them, but it's cheap for you gluttonous fellows."

After hearing this, everyone didn't dare to laugh any more, they could only secretly laugh in their hearts.Among them, those who had something to do immediately replied: "Sister Du Juan has been busy all day and has worked hard. I know that my sister likes to eat scrambled eggs with shrimps. This dish has not been touched yet. I will send it to my sister's house first." Go, turn around and wait for my sister to be free, then eat slowly."

When Du Juan heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly and said, "Well, you're still a caring person." After she finished speaking, she glanced at the dishes on the table again, pointed to the plate of vegetarian stir-fried vegetables, and said, "Bring that dish back. In the kitchen, add more salt and stir-fry again. Later, I will bring it to Sister Xiaotao."

The tender cabbage heart is not as delicious as the old cabbage leaves after being fried for too long.Moreover, more salt is added, which is obviously a deliberate bullying.

Jingui listened, for some reason, her eyelids twitched suddenly, thinking, she had already gone once during the day, and now she wants to come again, if the second young master finds out, there will be endless troubles.She felt uncomfortable, and quickly answered the question: "How can I let my sister do it herself for such a small matter? My sister is the one who takes care of the second young master, so it's better to stay in the room and wait for the second young master to come back. I will deliver Miss Xiaotao's meals."

Du Juan looked at her suspiciously and said: "Strange? You always try to shirk when you are asked to go to her room. Why are you suddenly warm-hearted today? What's the matter? Are you afraid that I will bully her? Or, do you want to stay with her?" Waiting for the second young master?"

In the past few days, Zhu Jinlun has been going to her place almost every night.This is a well-known fact, if it is not guaranteed, these girls have some other thoughts, and they also want to follow in the past.

Jingui's heart tightened, and she hurriedly said, "Sister, don't get me wrong, I just don't want my sister to be tired."

Du Juan smiled slightly and said, "Sister Jingui has a heart. But I have to deliver this dish, lest Sister Xiaotao get angry and waste things for nothing by not eating or drinking."

She doesn't eat bayberry during the day, but this plate of choy sum is enough for her at night.

That's right, she just wanted to bully her and despise her until she was willing to give up and completely give up on it.

Jingui hesitated to speak but stopped, tried to persuade him but couldn't persuade him, instead he stopped talking and just went down for dinner with others.

I don't want to care anymore, and I don't want to worry about it.Some people want to fight for a position, while some people just want to divide their duties and have three meals to eat.

Afterwards, Du Juan personally came to Xiaotao's room with the plate of stir-fried vegetables that turned black and yellow.

Xiao Tao has just washed and washed, her hair is still wet and loose on her back, her face is slightly rosy, her eyes are still swollen, she looks like she has cried.

Seeing her beautiful appearance after bathing, Du Juan couldn't help but chuckled and said, "Miss Xiaotao, I've brought you food."

Xiaotao sat in front of the mirror, and when she heard her voice, her eyes flashed, she immediately put down the wooden comb in her hand, and said calmly: "My sister really cares about me. It's both fruit and food."

It seems that she is addicted to bullying. If she doesn't torture herself several times a day, she will feel unhappy.

Seeing her coming, Du Juan sat firmly on the chair and said, "What if I don't come? I heard that the girl just cried bitterly in front of the second young master. Sorry to see you." After she finished speaking, she placed the food heavily on the table.

The sudden sound made Xiao Tao's body tremble slightly.

Her reaction fell into Du Juan's eyes, which made her feel a little happy.

Xiaotao stood up slowly, turned around and looked at Du Juan's smiling face and the overcooked food she brought, frowning slightly, feeling extremely tormented.

She didn't feel scared, but felt that patience was a very hard thing.It's like holding your breath in water, it's extremely uncomfortable.

Du Juan stared at her red and swollen eyes, and asked in a low voice: "You have the ability to cry, why don't you have the ability to complain?"

Xiao Tao didn't dodge like before, but asked bluntly: "Do you want me to file a complaint?"

Du Juan was still smiling at this moment, but lowered his voice: "If you chew your tongue by the Second Young Master's side, your end will only get worse."

Xiaotao took a step back, looked at her and said, "I don't know why my sister is annoyed at me, so she targets me again and again." After she finished speaking, she looked down at the dish of choy sum, and said, "My sister is so angry. Big, so, even if I eat these things, it won't make you feel discouraged. In this case, whether I eat or not, whether I am obedient or not, are all irrelevant things. "

After hearing her words, Du Juan was a little surprised, "You are quite good at talking." Then, she pushed the plate with her hands, "What kind of person eats what kind of food, this dish is suitable for you, and rotten cabbage is suitable for you." Bitch, just as cheap."

Xiaotao suddenly pursed her lips and smiled when she heard the words, "Really?"

Xia Jiu shrank aside and said in a low voice, "This dish can't be eaten..."

Although he is afraid of Dujuan, if Miss Xiaotao eats badly, feels unwell or gets sick, I can't get rid of it.

Xiaotao didn't take it seriously, and directly picked up the dish, picked up a greasy vegetable leaf with her slender fingers, and then threw it directly on Du Juan's body without thinking.

Du Juan was slightly taken aback, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and then turned into anger.

However, Xiaotao reacted before her, and Du Juan was once again stunned by her reaction.

Xiao Tao raised her hand and spilled the whole dish on her body, the greasy black soup immediately stained her brand new moon white pajamas, looking very disgusting.

Du Juan froze in place, not knowing what she was doing for a moment.

After Xiaotao finished pouring the dishes, she also threw the plate heavily on the ground, and the plate shattered, making Xia Jiu almost cry, "Girl..."

Xiao Tao didn't change her face, bent down, picked the sharpest piece from the fragments on the ground, and held it tightly in her hand.

"You..." Du Juan was terrified by her sudden action, subconsciously took a step back, for fear that she would pounce on him.

Xiaotao said quietly: "Sister is scared? Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." After finishing speaking, she raised her hand again, but this time, she directly pointed the sharp fragments at her face, and the more from the closer.

Du Juan couldn't help exclaiming: "What are you doing? Are you crazy?"

Xiao Tao put the sharp tip next to her ear, and with a little force, a small cut was made, and the dazzling red blood flowed out, as if a thin red line was drawn along her cheeks.
