Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 232
Seeing him coming in, Shen Yuechen hurriedly made a silent gesture with his fingers, Zhu Jintang raised his eyes to look at the sleeping child on the bed, and immediately understood.

Shen Yuechen walked up to him softly, and said in a low voice: "I managed to put them to sleep."

Zhu Jintang smiled slightly when he heard this, took her hand and went outside to talk.

The husband and wife sat facing each other, Chunming and Cuixin immediately served fragrant tea and snacks, and hurriedly left.

Shen Yuechen lifted the tea cover, let the tea cool down a bit, and then brought it to Zhu Jintang.

Zhu Jintang took the tea and drank a few sips before asking, "Grandmother and the others didn't make things difficult for you during the day, did they?"

Shen Yuechen shook her head: "The old lady is kind, she didn't blame me, but it's the old man, I heard that I was severely reprimanded by the old man..."

Zhu Jintang just said: "I'm not in the way."

It's just a few words, he can still bear it, and now that his father and mother have calmed down, there is nothing to care about.

Shen Yuechen had a nostalgic look in his eyes, and seemed to be a little worried.

Zhu Jintang immediately smiled and said: "Don't think too much, this matter will be over today, and everything will be as usual in the future. It's just that you have to spend more time trying to please my mother. My mother seems to have a temper, but in fact it's the worst thing to do." It's my heart softening."

Since he was a child, he knew that his mother, Li Shi, had a sharp mouth and a bean-curd heart, and she always spoke harshly, but when it came time to get serious, she worried more than anyone else.

Shen Yuechen nodded slightly when he heard the words, and said in his heart: It is not easy to please Li Shi. It is not enough to just put your mind to it. The key is to master the fire and adapt to the situation.

Zhu Jintang took her hand and said, "Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and he can see people's hearts over time. Take your time, and you will get better."

Seeing that he still did not forget to cheer herself up, Shen Yuechen moved in her heart, took his hand back and said in response: "I will behave well."

Zhu Jintang patted her hand lightly, then remembered something, looked at the bead curtain leading to the inner room, and asked, "Where are we going to sleep tonight? The bed is occupied by those two little things."

Shen Yuechen was slightly taken aback, thought for a while, and subconsciously blurted out: "Well... the uncle has been busy all day, he should take a rest, the children have to wake up every time they move, it's too troublesome, why don't you ask the uncle to go to the study first... ...or another room for the night?"

As soon as she finished saying this, she immediately felt regretful, and frowned unconsciously.He thought to himself, he was really tired and confused, he was in good shape, and when he mentioned what to do, he had already stopped going to other people's rooms... Zhu Jintang's eyes flashed when he heard the words, and he just looked at her and smiled, but didn't speak.

Seeing this, Shen Yuechen lowered her eyes slightly and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Zhu Jintang tilted his head slightly, leaned forward, and asked without answering, "Do you really want me to sleep in someone else's room?"

His dark and bright eyes turned around on her body, and he smiled a little narrowly.

"I..." Shen Yuechen shook her head embarrassingly, then blushed and said, "Of course I don't want to."

Zhu Jintang smiled briskly when he heard the words, and pretended to sigh: "In this case, I can only deal with it on the soft couch for the whole night." After speaking, he stood up, and deliberately pulled her gently. hand.

After hearing this, Shen Yuechen raised her red face, a sweet smile burst into the corner of her mouth, and entered the room together with him.

In the next few days, Shen Yuechen lived very peacefully.Every day, I am busy taking care of the house and running the new store as usual. Occasionally, I sneak away from the busy schedule to make some rouge creams by myself, and show them to the maids for a fresh look.

The powder cream Shen Yuechen made by herself smells sweet, but it's not smooth enough to apply.Therefore, many samples were awarded to the maids in the courtyard.Those maids were very happy to get these things, thinking that this was rewarded by the grandma, no matter whether it is good or not, it is a decent thing.

Shen Yuechen doesn't know much about the production process, but he can always come up with a lot of fresh ideas.Fortunately, Nanny Song is dexterous, after listening to her words, go back and think about it, and then she can make better things according to her wishes.

On this day, Nanny Song sent two more boxes of rouge cream. After seeing it, Shen Yuechen was quite satisfied, and couldn't help praising: "Well, Nanny Song did a great job, it's really hard work. The finished product this time smells and looks at it. , it’s really no worse than those Jiangnan goods, and if you take it out, some people will buy it if you ask for two taels of silver.”

Nanny Song was still unsmiling, and said flatly: "It's all thanks to you, Grandma, and the servants are just following your orders, so this is all thanks to you, Grandma."

Shen Yuechen smiled slightly when she heard the words: "Don't you want to make me ashamed when you say this, and you have the most credit for this."

Talking about wars on paper is useless, but those who can do it are the most reliable.

Although Shen Yuechen didn't know Nanny Song for long, they could be considered hit-and-miss, so she wanted to treat her more affectionately.However, Nanny Song didn't seem to appreciate it, she was still respectful and distant, she didn't gossip except for business, and seemed to consciously keep a distance from her.

Shen Yuechen didn't mind, but occasionally felt a little strange.Logically speaking, Nanny Song has been working in the Zhu family for so many years, and she is capable, so she should be in a better position, but it is a pity to put her in the conservatory.

Shen Yuechen wanted to promote Nanny Song, and wanted her to do things for him. He went to the west courtyard and was responsible for teaching and managing the servants in the courtyard.

The former Nanny Li is gone, and now, Mama Wu is alone in charge of all the chores in the courtyard, and she has to manage the kitchen. She is busy at both ends, and if it goes on for a long time, her body will definitely not be able to bear it.Shen Yuechen originally wanted to promote a maid beside her to help her. Chun Ming and Cui Xin were both her dowry maids, but the two of them had not been in the mansion for a long time, nor did they have enough experience, so they didn't have the ability to handle a whole lot of things on their own. , so, we can only wait and see.However, Nanny Song appeared in front of her just when she needed to employ people the most. She was low-key, safe in doing things, and also very smart, able to understand everything, which saved a lot of effort.

Shen Yuechen thought so, and took the opportunity to tell Nanny Song what she wanted.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Nanny Song was not only displeased, but frowned, and refused again and again: "My servant thanked Grandma for her kindness, but this servant is already old, her body and brain are useless, and she can only do some rough work. .Grandma, you are a noble person, and you don't need such an eyesore as a slave by your side..."

Shen Yuechen was taken aback for a moment, seeing her serious expression and firm gaze, she became more and more confused about what she was thinking.

Ordinarily, it is much better to be a disciplining nun in the first hospital than to be the owner of a flower house.Moreover, there is a lot of oil and water, the days are moist and decent, no one will easily refuse... Shen Yuechen was silent for a moment, and then said: "Mother is a sensible person, why do you need to say these polite words to coax me? I know, Mammy must be worried about me as the master in her heart, that's why she repeatedly declined. Since Mammy doesn't want to come, I won't force you, but I just ask Mammy to go back and think about it carefully, so that I don't want to miss what is within reach. good chance."

Shen Yuechen didn't want to talk too hard, so she left some space for her to turn around and think.

After hearing this, Nanny Song was just silent, and her face became more and more serious, which made Shen Yuechen suspicious, could it be that she had something unspeakable to hide?

After Nanny Song left, Shen Yuechen lost her mind for a while, and then remembered that it was time to send Brother Ming back to Li's place, so she called Chun Ming and said, "Go to Sister Ying's room and take Brother Ming away. hug."

Chun Ming went away at the sound, and after a while, he hugged Brother Ming firmly.

Brother Ming has been sticking to her side for several days because he is worried about Shen Yuechen.

Shen Yuechen was worried that Li Shi would be unhappy, so she had a good discussion with Brother Ming before persuading him to nod and go back.

However, Brother Ming will never be obedient in vain, he still has his condition, which is to ask Shen Yuechen to find an opportunity to take him out to have a look and walk around.

On the surface, Shen Yuechen agreed with a good attitude, but he didn't think so in his heart.

Brother Ming wants to go out, at least he has to wait for another two years, he is such a small person now, not to mention Li Shi can't let him go, even the old lady who always dotes on him won't nod.

Shen Yuechen took the initiative to send Brother Ming to Li Shi's side, firstly to be considerate of the elders, and secondly, to show off intentionally and find an opportunity to please Li Shi.

However, Li Shi's attitude towards her has not changed much, it is still the same cold face, cold tone, and cold eyes.

Shen Yuechen didn't expect too much at first, he just handed the rouge cream that Nanny Song sent to Li Shi, and said: "Madam, this is the rouge cream that Yuechen made himself, please take a look."

When Li heard this, she didn't lift her eyelids, she only looked at the tea bowl in her hand, and said calmly, "Let's put it there."

Shen Yuechen put the rouge away with a smile, and then said: "In half a month, the new store outside will open, and Yuechen would like to invite you and the old lady to go there to have fun."

Li's tone was still calm: "Let's talk about it when the time comes. It's almost the Dragon Boat Festival, and there are still many things to be busy at home."

Shen Yuechen smiled awkwardly upon hearing this.

Although she didn't directly refuse, she had already expressed her intentions.

Li Shi didn't want to stay in the same room with her for too long, so he put the tea bowl on the table and made a crisp sound, like an order to evict her.

Shen Yuechen was also sensible, and immediately got up to leave, not wanting to continue to rely on shamelessly and make her feel disgusted.

Li Shi replied lightly, seeing her walking out the door, her face darkened slightly, and she complained secretly.

She knew that she didn't like her, but she insisted on bumping into her eyes on purpose to make others unhappy.

Li Shi was thinking silently, her eyes accidentally fell on the two small boxes on the table, her brows were frowned even tighter, she still didn't even look at them, and she directly ordered the servant girl Qiao'er, "Throw this thing out for me. .”

What rouge paste?Who cares about these.Not sure, what kind of fragrant and poisonous moth, it smells weird.

Qiao'er heard the words, hurriedly picked up the box, sniffed it subconsciously, only to feel the fragrance is very good, unavoidably moved in her heart, and secretly stuffed the box into her sleeve.

After a while, Zhu Quan, the accountant's boy, came over to deliver the account book to Li Shi. When he saw Qiao'er standing furtively in a corner of the yard, lowering his head and fiddling with something, he couldn't help joking, and sneaked up to her to scare her, saying: " Qiao girl, what are you hiding?"

That Qiaoer was secretly applying rouge to her mouth, when she was so frightened by him, she shook her hand slightly, but the rouge was blurred, and suddenly shouted angrily, "You're going to scare me to death!"

Seeing her flustered appearance, with rouge still on her lips, Zhu Quan continued to smile and said, "Another person is sneaking here to be pretty, be careful and punish you if Madam finds out." The box she was holding, she reached out to take it without even thinking about it: "Where did this rouge come from? Show me."
