Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 285 The Person I Trust Most Is You

The relationship between them is really mixed with too many things. It seems to be clear, but it doesn't seem to be clear.

He only knows that he trusts her, appreciates her, likes her, cherishes her, pities her, and respects her... But these feelings, layers upon layers, have gradually changed into an indescribable emotion.

Brother Ming then said: "To be honest, even if I really made a choice. Then can you really treat me like a son? Is it really possible?"

His rhetorical question made Shen Yuechen ponder for a moment, before he replied: "I think I can do it."

Brother Ming was suspicious of her words, but she continued to speak slowly: "You always say that I am very careful and can bear it, but you never think about why I have to be so careful, why I have to endure, Give in, obey..."

Shen Yuechen smiled suddenly, "Because I am a very timid person. Because I am timid, I don't cause trouble, because I am timid, I am patient, because I am timid, I am docile, and because I am timid, I try hard to adapt to everything I have to face. .This is my character. Everything I have now is accumulated bit by bit and carefully. This family, this location, this child, these hard-won emotions are all things to me. Treat it like a treasure... Maybe, because I am too timid, I am always afraid of accidentally losing something, or regretting it afterwards. Therefore, I am cautious in my words and deeds every day, restraining myself and the people around me .So I'm just a coward, never able to conceive of the future as boldly and triumphantly as you."

It is not easy for a person to admit his own weakness.

Brother Ming's heart was shocked, and he said: "You are not timid, you just have no chance to choose."

Shen Yuechen shook her head slightly: "It's not that there is no chance at all. If I had been as fearless as you back then, maybe I wouldn't have returned to the family that once abandoned me, and maybe I wouldn't have swallowed my anger and married into the Zhu family... Then Yes, it’s not that I don’t have the opportunity to choose, it’s just that I don’t have the courage to fight against this strange world alone. So, I shaved off my edges and corners, gave up a lot of things, but also gained a lot.”

The two of them hadn't had such a heart-to-heart conversation for a long time, Shen Yuechen's words made Brother Ming feel a faint sour taste in his heart, and the bitter taste spread all the way to his throat.

Shen Yuechen took a long breath and said: "I don't want you to become as blunt as I am. But, you are young and immature, how can you afford that ambition? Moreover, you also understand that as the eldest son Sun, it is not easy to grow up in this family. As long as you can trust me, then I am confident that I can be your mother."

A complicated light flashed in Brother Ming's eyes, and he said, "I've said it before, the person I trust the most is you."

Shen Yuechen hurriedly said: "In that case, let's try it out together."

"Try? How to try?"

Shen Yuechen said seriously: "The first thing is to try to learn to be obedient. In the future, you have to listen more and talk less, and learn to hide your thoughts in front of others. Although children's words are free, the elders just think that children say it If you don't, it's all a joke, but once they find out that you are not joking, the consequences will be troublesome."

Shen Yuechen knew that to make Brother Ming fully adapt to his identity, trust alone was not enough, and a certain degree of restraint and control was also needed.And this kind of restraint and control must be strong and firm, without any flexibility.Therefore, she needs the confidence to be a real mother.

Brother Ming didn't expect that she spoke so earnestly and earnestly for a long time, just to make him obedient, she couldn't help raising her eyes and said: "That's all?"

Shen Yuechen nodded slightly: "Yes, if you can really do this, I will feel at ease."

Brother Ming asked again: "Are we still friends in the future?"

Shen Yuechen shook his head: "From now on, we are no longer friends."

Brother Ming was a little anxious: "Then you are really going to raise me as your son."

Shen Yuechen nodded solemnly: "That's right. For the sake of the bright future in your heart, just temporarily forget all the little concerns and discomfort in your heart."

Brother Ming swallowed a sigh when he heard the words, and didn't say a word of disapproval, as if he acquiesced.

Brother Ming believed in his heart that his purpose was right, he firmly believed that his future would be successful, as long as he had the courage, he would be able to break new ground.

However, Shen Yuechen's serious and heavy attitude still reminded him heavily, making him have to re-examine his position.Maybe now, it's really time for him to make compromises and changes.

After more than ten days, the imperial court's grain requisition order came down, and the price was still the same, but the quantity was doubled.

Although the Zhu family had already made preparations, they were still shocked and surprised when they saw that the amount collected was so large.

Although the imperial court bought merchants at this certain price every time they collected grain, the price was less than one-third of the market price.Therefore, rather than collection, it is better to say collection, rather than buying, it is better to say robbery... As a result, food prices in various places began to fluctuate restlessly.

The price of grain in Texas has been rising all the way. Many retail investors are eager to sell grain to save money, while those large households are busy collecting grain, which makes the price rise again and again.

The common people rushed to buy grain, but the bulk of the supply on the market was controlled by those big merchants, and they couldn't squeeze in, so they had to find another way and turn to the black market to buy.

In this way, those speculators have the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos.

Several major merchants in the city are working together to resist the rise in food prices, but they can only seek stability first, not drop.

At this time, Zhu Jintang was harvesting grain in the north, and Zhu Jinlun was on his way to welcome his relatives. His sons were not there, so he could only rely on Zhu Feng to support himself. Although Zhu Jun could help, he didn't have any outstanding abilities. I can't make my own decisions, so I can't help you much.

Zhu's grain store sold out the limited amount of grain sold every day, but it was sold out within half a day.Every time Zhu Feng looked at the grain shop and the ledger, he felt a headache.

Rumors abounded in the city, and even the business of Tianxianglou was implicated.

Seeing that the business was deserted, Nanny Song had no choice but to ask Shen Yuechen for instructions.

Pregnant for four months, Shen Yuechen's lower abdomen has begun to swell day by day. Most of the clothes she used to wear can no longer be worn, and she has to remake them again. Just lie down for half a day.Although I didn't feel bad, but my appetite was bad, and I couldn't eat anything, so I could only drink some porridge and eat some side dishes.

On this day, Nanny Song came in to answer and said that the business had become quite deserted.

Shen Yuechen thought for a while, and then said: "It's going to be hot, people are lazy in summer, and there are some people who don't like to move. Everything in the store is as usual, but the new toilet water must be well promoted and sold as much as possible. The goods are the same."

Shen Yuechen originally estimated that it would take a year or two to recover his capital, so it doesn't matter if he is deserted for a while.

Nanny Song hurriedly nodded her head, but she saw Shen Yuechen let out a soft "ah" suddenly, with a dazed expression, as if she had been frightened by something.

Nanny Song hurriedly said, "Grandma, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Yuechen was stunned for a moment, then blinked, looked down at his lower abdomen, and said in an unbelievably excited tone: "The child seems to have moved just now."

After Li Zheng ascended the throne, although he was ambitious, he has not made any outstanding achievements.This time, he wanted to conquer the Northeast, and he wanted to make a great achievement with an astonishing momentum.

Li Zheng was eager to win, and despite the opposition of his ministers, he resolutely declared war on the Mongolian tribes.

The war in the north is about to break out, the atmosphere in the court is dull, and the capital has been raining continuously for days, making people feel more depressed and uneasy.

It was clearly still midsummer, but there was too much rain and too much humidity.Ruan Linluo had already held a warm hand stove in her hands. Recently, her hands and feet have always been cold, and her body feels cold. The doctor said that it was due to the lack of energy and blood, so she should pay attention to recuperation and nourishment.She knew very well in her heart that she had not been sleeping soundly lately, so her spirit had deteriorated a lot, and she was pregnant again, which made her feel even more strenuous.

Perhaps because it was the first child, Ruan Linluo had a hard time these few months.

The Empress Dowager was very worried when she saw that she looked bad, so she only asked her to move here to live with her in Shou'an Palace.

Li Zheng is now busy with political affairs, and only treats the concubines in the harem as dispensable decorations, and is rarely willing to go there.

The Empress Dowager took Ruan Linluo to her side, and every time Li Zheng sneaked in to pay his respects to his grandmother, he could stop by and have a look at her, which was very convenient.

Although the Empress Dowager is getting old, she is still in good health.Moreover, she has always loved Ruan Linluo very much. Because she has no granddaughter under her knees, she only treats her as a half-granddaughter-in-law, half-granddaughter. Therefore, when no one else is around, she calls herself the emperor's grandmother. kind.

Ruan Linluo played chess with the Empress Dowager with the hand stove in her hand, holding the chess piece, pondering for a long time, and then gently dropped it, accompanied by a faint sigh, and said: "Grandmother, you are really good at these chess moves, Lin Luo It’s okay not to admit defeat.”

At this moment, the Empress Dowager who was sitting opposite her had a smile on her face, and after she settled down, she just smiled lightly and said: "You are dishonest in what you said, it's just that step, there are obviously other ways to do it, But you deliberately let Aijia go."

Ruan Linluo smiled and said: "Grandmother, you have sharp eyes. Lin Luo dare not play tricks in front of you. If you lose, you lose. Lin Luo is willing to bet and admit defeat."

When the Empress Dowager heard the words, she still smiled and said: "You said you can't play tricks. You are the best at deceiving people in this palace."

Ruan Linluo smiled.

To be honest, it was much easier for her to make the Empress Dowager happy than to make the Holy Majesty happy.

Ruan Linluo got up slowly, and it happened that someone outside came to report, "The empress dowager is here with the prince."

The Empress Dowager was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, she felt that it was really rare for him to come here at this time.

Because of the tense battle, Li Zheng, in order to win people's hearts, deliberately gave Li Huan the name Suiwang. Although he was a prince of first-class status, the word "Sui" was full of negligence and contempt.

Sui Wang, Sui Wang, reminding him openly and secretly that he should keep his own place, follow and obey him all his life, and he is not allowed to have a heart of resistance.

With such a title, Li Huan immediately became a big joke in the capital.

Li Huan has always respected the Empress Dowager very much. Whenever he entered the palace to meet with the Holy Majesty or discuss matters, he would come to pay his respects to the old man. He was very filial.
