Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 308 Madame, please help the servant girl

After having a child, there are naturally more things to worry about.

Chun'e's husband and family are all honest peasants. They can only farm the land and rely on the sky all their lives, and manage their own small life. stand up.

Seeing that after the beginning of spring, the family will start to farm like coolies again, but if this year's harvest is still not good, then people will be worried.

Shen Yuechen listened to Zhuangzi's matter, nodded slightly and said: "The past two or three years have not been a bumper harvest year with good weather and good weather. The grain harvest is not good, and I know that your life is not easy."

Chun'e sighed softly: "This year's harvest is not good, and I don't know what will happen next year." After she finished speaking, she looked at Shen Yuechen and said, "I have a heartfelt request from my maidservant today, I hope Miss can help you again." Help our family."

Shen Yuechen said lightly: "How do you think I can help you?"

If it is silver, she is not rich now, and the Zhu family is already seriously injured. Even the old man who usually likes luxury is clamoring to be diligent and thrifty in managing the family. What a waste of money.

Chun'e really wanted to borrow money this time, but she knew that she could not do any big business because of her skills and abilities. After all, she just wanted to borrow some small capital to open some small businesses to make ends meet.

"The servant wants to do some small business. I used to follow the young lady, and the servant had the opportunity to learn a lot of things, but the servant is stupid and careless, so she can't learn well. Fortunately, Wu Ma once taught the servant a few cooking skills. The slaves often practice, and they have found some ways, so they want to open a small shop selling food and make a living. Firstly, it is to subsidize the family, and secondly, it is also to make my heart feel at ease, so as not to always worry about the situation in the field. Harvest, good for a while and bad for a while."

When Chun'e said this, she turned her head to look at the swaddling baby in Chunming's hand, and said with emotion, "Miss, to tell you the truth, apart from these, this servant has another thought in his heart, that is, he hopes that the child will be able to wear it before he is sensible. Save some money for him, so that he can also have the opportunity to study... I don’t want him to have a big future, take the first prize or something. I just hope that he won’t work hard all day like his father, and live a hard life.”

After Shen Yuechen listened to her words, some parts of his heart were slightly acidic, hot, and then swollen again, unable to tell what it felt like.

What Chun'e had prepared in advance was almost finished, and now, only the most crucial sentence remained.

"Miss, this servant knows that your life is not easy now. However, you are always a decent person, please help this servant..."

Shen Yuechen didn't want her to plead with him, and asked, "How much do you need?"

Chun'e licked her lips, cautiously stretched out five fingers, and said anxiously: "50 taels. The servant wants to let you borrow 50 taels."

For some reason, Shen Yuechen felt a burst of relief after hearing this number.

She originally thought that Chun'e was going to ask for a big sum after convincing herself so affectionately.

There are only 50 taels, which shows how difficult life is for the tenants near Dezhou this year.

Shen Yuechen nodded slightly to her, and said, "If it's 50 taels, it's not a problem. I can lend it to you, don't worry."

When Chun'e heard the words, a joyful expression appeared on her face, and then she knelt down and kowtowed to thank: "Thank you, miss, thank you, miss."

Seeing this, Shen Yuechen hurriedly asked Cui Xin to help her up, and said gently: "I can still help with this little favor. Alright. Now that I've finished talking about the important things, you can also sit down and chat with me."

Chun'e agreed crisply, with a smile on her face.

Shen Yuechen took the initiative to ask: "When you married into the Zhang family alone, how did the Zhang family treat you well?"

As soon as Zhang's family was mentioned, Chun'e's face softened a lot, she lowered her head, and said softly: "The Zhang family are all honest people, with straightforward tempers, they don't play tricks, and they don't bully others. The slave is doing well."

Seeing her expression, Shen Yuechen knew that she was doing well. When a person is immersed in happiness, the expression of joy and satisfaction cannot be hidden no matter what.

At this moment, although Chun'e was dressed plainly, she looked full of energy, her face was slightly rosy, and Wu Ma smiled and said: "They should treat you well, you have added such a blessing to their Zhang family." A fat and chubby boy. The whole family will definitely not be able to hurt you even if they hurt you."

Although she has been married for a long time, after hearing this, Chun'e was still a little ashamed, blushing and said: "Mom, don't laugh at me, it doesn't hurt. It's just a concerted effort. Just live."

Seeing that the topic had become lighter, Chun Ming interjected and asked, "Chun'e, how is your husband treating you?" After speaking, she exchanged a look with Cui Xin.

Chun'e's face naturally turned redder, "He's a rough man, so there's nothing to say. Every day he either goes to work in the fields, or eats and sleeps. He's dull, but he doesn't talk much."

After hearing this, Cui Xin deliberately teased her: "Since he is a rough person and a boring gourd, why did you want to marry him back then? It's because you like him."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room laughed, even Shen Yuechen curled the corners of his mouth.

After all, Chun'e was still young and couldn't hold her breath. When she stood up, she wanted to pinch Cui Xin's face, and said angrily: "You little girl, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are so stubborn. You dare to say anything, and you don't know what to say." I don’t know how to be ashamed! The lady is not willing to punish you, so I can’t let you go lightly.”

Cui Xin dodges, and quickly hides behind Mama Wu, but Chun'e also shows her long-lost childishness, and chases after her with a smile, determined to pinch her face.

Wu Ma said helplessly: "Don't mess around, what should I do if you startle Miss?"

As soon as these words came out, the two of them immediately stopped.

Seeing Shen Yuechen pursing her lips and smiling, Chun'e knew she was not angry, so she said: "Miss, don't get too used to Cuixin in the future."

Shen Yuechen smiled, but heard the baby in the swaddle suddenly start crying, and hurriedly said: "Look, I woke up the baby."

As soon as Chun'e heard the cry of the child, she hurried over to pick up the child, coaxed her softly, then put her hand into the swaddling clothes, and said, "This child must be hungry." He unbuttoned the padded jacket, but stopped suddenly, looked at Shen Yuechen and smiled awkwardly: "Maidservant, let's go out."

Shen Yuechen said lightly: "It's okay, I'm already a mother, so there's nothing to be taboo about."

When Chun'e heard this, she immediately sat down firmly, untied her clothes and fed the child.

Chun Ming and Cui Xin went over to watch the fun, and Shen Yuechen immediately gave Wu Ma a wink, signaling her to prepare some money.

The neat 50 taels were stored in a big purse embroidered with lotus flowers.

Shen Yuechen looked at Chun'e, suddenly remembered something, and said a few more words in Mama Wu's ear.

Mama Wu responded, went back to the house and opened the drawer under the dressing table, and found a small exquisite brocade box. After opening it, she found two red strings from the inside, and put a small golden bead on it. .

After Chun'e finished feeding the child, Shen Yuechen asked Mama Wu to give her the things one by one.

"The one in the purse is 50 taels of silver. It's good for you to use it to do some small business. The gold beads next to it are a little gift from me for the children, to make it a good fortune."

Chun'e waved her hands again and again, and said: "Young servants can't take the young lady's money for nothing, and the gold beads can't be taken even more."

At the beginning, when she left Zhu's house, the young lady tore up her contract of sale and completely gave her freedom.Now that I come to ask for help, I can't rely on my past affection and take money for nothing.

"Miss, this money is considered to be borrowed by the servant from you. When the servant makes money, it will be returned to you after calculating the interest on a monthly basis. No, the servant has to make a letter for you..."

Shen Yuechen didn't intend to show off his grandeur, and wanted to make himself look superior, but he just hoped from the bottom of his heart that their family's life would be prosperous and they would have a good year.

"Hold the money first, and talk about it later when you have money. As for this little gift, it's just a thought from me. The kid is so cute. I gave it to him because I like him." Shen Yuechen paused for a while, He said again: "You came here today, which made my place a lot more lively. I haven't been this happy for a long time, so just accept what should be accepted, and don't spoil my rare good interest."

Ever since Zhu Jintang's accident, Shen Yuechen had hardly smiled, and occasionally smiling in front of the elders was a perfunctory way of dealing with it, in order to make them feel at ease.And there are almost no genuine smiles.

Today, Chun'e brought the child over, chatting and laughing, which made her feel a moment of relief.

Chun'e lowered her head, but she still didn't dare to raise her hand to pick up the things, she just said: "This servant is really too greedy, too thick-skinned, always taking young lady's money and things for nothing like this."

Shen Yuechen thought for a while and said: "Well, the silver is my investment. Later, when your restaurant is open and you make money, you can give me dividends. However, you will lose money in this way. , I made a lot of money back, and what I want to share must be much more than this mere 50 taels of silver."

Chun'e raised her head when she heard the words, nodded and said: "You can do as much as you want. Everything I have done today and today is due to the blessing of the young lady. The servant has nothing to repay. I just ask the young lady to give the servant a chance. When the servant will be successful in the future, I will definitely repay your kindness.”

"It's good if you have this kind of heart."

Chun'e kept the silver close to her body, and then wrapped the gold bead around her son's wrist. Looking at him, she laughed and said, "This child is really lucky. He was born in less than a month. Wearing gold and silver."

Wu Ma was at the side, and echoed, "Raise him well, maybe in the future, he will really be able to get a good name in the exam, and he will be the glory of the Zhang family."

Chun'e nodded hurriedly: "Thank you for your good words, I will definitely raise him up strong, like a calf."

After all, she has lived in the country for a long time, and now her words are full of local flavor.

However, such a change does not make people feel annoying, on the contrary, they are more willing to listen to her.

Chun'e sat down again, worried that the child would eat and poop again, so she got up and said goodbye.

Before she left, Shen Yuechen told her: "When you are free in the future, remember to come here often and talk with us."

Chun'e nodded, as if thinking of something suddenly, she took a step forward slowly, came to Shen Yuechen, and said softly: "Miss, you have to take care of yourself and take good care of yourself. When the young master is born later, you must send someone to know I will make a servant call, and let my servant prepare red eggs for you." At this point, she paused a bit unnaturally, and said: "The bad things will always pass. Miss Jiren has his own destiny, and it will definitely happen All the best, all wishes come true.”
