Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 263 Climb on the Big Boat of the Jia Family
Ruan Linluo is now an imperial concubine, the Zhu family must not lose face and lose their position as the richest man in Texas at this time.Moreover, the Zhu family has dominated Texas for more than 20 years, and Zhu Jintang cannot allow the reputation of the Zhu family to fall into his hands.

Speaking of this, Zhu Jintang just showed his posture as the head of the family, and his tone was very firm and could not be refuted.

Zhu Jinlun's eyes turned cold, and then he smiled faintly: "Since that's the case, I have nothing to say. The elder brother is in charge of the family, so naturally you have the final say."

After hearing this, Zhu Jintang got up slowly, "Okay, I've finished talking and finished my tea. I'm going back."

Zhu Jinlun also stood up and made a gesture of please.

Zhu Jintang turned around and left, walking in a hurry.

Zhu Jinlun watched his back go farther and farther, and the expression on his face became colder and colder.

Zhu Fu sensed something was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward cautiously: "Second Master, this tea is cold, I'll get you a new one."

Zhu Jinlun waved his hand: "No need, change the wine for me."

Zhu Fu was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly responded.

Zhu Jinlun sat under the moonlight and drank alone. After drinking three cups, Zhu Fu suddenly remembered something, and quickly turned around to tell the servant girls to find Miss Xiaotao immediately.

Erye never drinks for no reason, either happy or unhappy.Looking at today's situation, he must be feeling unhappy because of the young master.Therefore, you have to find someone to untie him.

There is no doubt that Xiaotao is definitely the best and most suitable candidate.

Zhu Jinlun drank one cup after another, feeling stuffy in his heart, as if he was blocked by a stone or his breath.

Just by looking at his side face, Xiao Tao knew that he was unhappy, so she walked forward slowly without making a sound, and only when he was about to pour the wine, she stretched out her hand to gently cover the mouth of the glass, and said with a smile: "So Good wine is worth savoring slowly. Second Lord, you drank too quickly."

Seeing her coming, Zhu Jinlun had a faint smile in his eyes, took her hand, and asked her to sit next to him.

"Wouldn't it be a pity if there is no beautiful woman to accompany the good wine here." Zhu Jinlun held her hand and pecked lightly on the back of her hand.

Xiao Tao withdrew her hand with a smile, picked up the jug, poured wine for him herself, and asked, "Second Lord, drinking alone, why didn't you let the slave come over earlier?"

Zhu Jinlun smiled when she heard the words, took her wine, took a sip and said, "You girl, you asked the question knowingly. Bi Mingming knew that there was an inappropriate person here just now."

Xiaotao blinked: "This servant only knows that the young master came here just now."

Zhu Jinlun smiled and said: "That's right, he is the out-of-date person, the annoying person."

Xiaotao was silent for a moment, then asked softly, "Why did Second Master say that? But Eldest Young Master made you angry?"

Zhu Jinlun looked at the seat where Zhu Jintang used to sit on the opposite side, and said lightly: "I just hate his tone of voice, he is superior, as if he can be the master of everyone." After finishing speaking, he pressed the wine glass heavily on the table , eyes darkened and said: "He can control others, but he can't control me."

Xiaotao's eyes flickered slightly when she heard the words, and she secretly thought about it, but she didn't show the slightest bit on her face.

But within two days, the marriage of Jia Xiandong, the second youngest of the Jia family, became the focus of discussions in the whole city.

Everyone said that the second youngest of the Jia family, the wife who was about to marry was a peerless beauty, like a fairy descending to earth.And the bride's background is not small, it is said that she is the niece of Mrs. Zhu's family, and she is very valued.

The second youngest of the Jia family married Mrs. Zhu's niece. Although it was separated by a layer, it was equivalent to a married family in disguise. Aunt" will do.

Is there anything more interesting in this world than two deadly rivals getting married?
However, the people outside talked lively.The Zhu family and the Jia family were surprisingly calm.

The Jia family was busy with their wedding, and the whole house was decorated with lanterns and festoons. It was very lively, just like the New Year.But the Zhu family was peaceful, and only Li Shi was struggling to prepare gifts for the Jia family's big wedding.

Originally, Li Shi didn't want to prepare anything, even didn't want to go to drink wedding wine.However, Mrs. Zhu told her: "This is the end of the matter, and the rice is ready to cook. What's the use of us continuing to vent our anger? Besides, this marriage has caused a lot of trouble in the city, and people outside are eagerly waiting to see the excitement." So, our Zhu family can't be rude to others. Jia's wedding invitation was sent with ulterior motives. If you really cared about it, wouldn't you have fallen into their tricks? So, on the day of the business, you We still have to go, and we can’t go empty-handed, prepare some gifts to send over, so that the Jia family can see our generosity.”

Now, Chai Shi and Shen Yuechen are both pregnant, so naturally they cannot go out.Moreover, Li Shi is still the eldest daughter-in-law, so she should show up on such an occasion.

Li Shi was very unhappy in her heart, if she followed her impatience, if she really went, what would she do?Eighty percent of the time, they have thoughts of messing up the wedding banquet.

The old lady knew her temper, so she said again: "If you don't go, why don't you let my old bones go around with them? You are not happy, but you still have to be polite. As the saying goes, it is better to tear down ten temples than destroy a family. Since the old man doesn’t care anymore, why are you so worried about it. It’s better to let nature take its course, simply be generous once, and forget about the beauty of adults.”

The matter was settled, and Li Shi had no choice but to swallow this dumb loss silently.

Complaining is useless, it is better to save some foam.

In order to protect Zhu's family and her own face, Li still had someone give Tong Chuchu two pairs of gold and jade heads, a pair of necklaces, a pair of bracelets, and a few odd and small items, which were exquisite and pleasing to the eye.

In the past, when Tong Chuchu was in Zhu's house, the Li family treated her well and provided her with good food.Because Li Shi likes her, she doesn't care about the amount of money, and only raises her as a half-daughter.

But now, Li Shi only feels that Tong Chuchu is an ungrateful little wolf cub, and she is extremely disgusted in her heart, not to mention spending money for her, even if it is just a penny given to her, she feels that it is not worth it.

Li Shi is not a person who loves money and is stingy, but it is the first time in his life that he feels bad about spending money.

Nanny Sun counted the congratulatory gifts herself, then came over and said: "Madam, the congratulatory gifts are all in order, and there are not many of them."

Li Shi sighed softly, feeling very worthless in every possible way, and said: "It's fine when it's all ready, and put it away."

Nanny Sun responded, and said again: "For tomorrow's wedding banquet, do you want to bring more people by Madam's side?"

Li Shi said: "Who do you bring? Just me is enough to give the Jia family face. Tomorrow you follow me, and choose a few more handsome maids to follow. When the time comes, remember to keep your mouth sharp and don't break the word. Don't lose momentum."

Nanny Sun nodded and said, "Don't worry Madam, I understand."

In the early morning of the next day, Li Shi had to get up early, dressed up and groomed to the utmost, and spent a lot of thought.She didn't want to surprise everyone, but just wanted to grab the Jia family's limelight.

Mrs. Li and Nanny Sun counted the time and went out, got into the carriage, and went slowly to Jia's house.

Jia's mansion is not far from Zhu's house, and it takes only two sticks of incense to get there by car.

In front of Jia's house, it was already full of people, with cars coming and going, and it was very lively.

The gate is spacious and there are many guests. Li lifted up the curtain and looked at the plaque above the main entrance, with gold lacquer on it and red silk lining on it, it looked grand and festive.

Li Shi had only been to Jia's house once before. At that time, she was still young, only in her early twenties.

Holding Nanny Sun's hand, Li got out of the car slowly, and just as her toes touched the ground, someone rushed up from the opposite side.

The person who came was the steward of the Jia family, with a smile all over his face, first saluted Li Shi, and said politely: "Mrs. Zhu, the little Jia Liuer is the caretaker of the Jia family. , wait here, wait for Madam, personally invite you in, please!"

When Mrs. Li heard this, she felt displeased, thinking that the Jia family was so hypocritical, since she valued it, she should come to greet her in person, instead of sending a low-class person to wait here hypocritically.

Li Shi glanced at Jia Liu'er, without a smile on his face, and walked straight to the door with a straight face.

Jia Liu'er had been prepared for a long time, knowing that Mrs. Zhu was a difficult master, she quickly followed with her head down, and said softly, "The old lady is talking to her wife..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Shi suddenly stopped, turned around, and asked sharply: "Who is the wife you are talking about?"

Jia Liu'er was taken aback by her, and hurriedly replied: "The little one is talking about Mrs. Tong Jiatong, the second young lady's natal mother. Why don't you know Mrs. Zhu? My wife has lived here for three days. .”

After hearing this, Li Shi's face instantly turned livid, he clenched his hands tightly, and his shoulders trembled slightly with anger.

Since Li Jiuniang came to Dezhou, she should see herself first. How could she stay at Jia's house as a guest without even saying hello?

Seeing this, Grandma Sun hurriedly persuaded in a low voice: "Madam, don't worry, you will know what's going on after you see her."

Li Shi sneered, and said lightly: "What else could be going on? Now that she has fulfilled her wish, she finally boarded the big boat of Jia's family and became a good in-law. So naturally, she will not pay attention to me, a direct relative. sister."

When she said these words, she didn't care that Jia Liu'er beside her would hear her.

Jia Liu'er lowered her head and lowered her eyes tactfully, pretending not to hear anything, bent over to lift the sedan chair curtain for Li Shi, and let her sit in the sedan chair.

Sitting in a soft sedan chair, Mrs. Li walked all the way to the courtyard of Jia's family, walked through the corridor, and passed through two hanging flower gates before arriving at the main courtyard.

The courtyard was brightly red and festive, with lanterns and festoons everywhere, many maidservants in brightly dressed were busy walking around, with smiles in their eyes, vaguely looking forward to the wedding ceremony that was about to begin.

Li Shi walked straight into the main room with Nanny Sun, her face was slightly gloomy, she didn't even look at the maids around her, but they were all staring at her, each with their own thoughts.

The main room of Jia's house is exquisitely decorated, but Li Shi is not interested at all. Her gaze scanned the room, and finally landed on the person in bright red. The corners of her mouth slightly curled up, and she let out a similar smile. Voice.

Not seen for several years, Li Jiuniang doesn't seem to have changed much, but her figure is slightly plump, her skin is still fair, her eyebrows and eyes are still gentle, but she is a little less green and more mature.

Li Jiuniang was shy since she was a child. When she met strangers, she would blush just by saying a word.Therefore, Li Shi always takes her by his side, and she is always obedient and willing to be a docile little tail.

When Li Jiuniang saw Li Shi, she couldn't help straightening her back subconsciously, then stood up and said, "Sister is here."
