Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 322
Zhu Feng went into battle in person, escorting his sister and nephew all the way back to Beijing.Everyone in the Zhu family sorted out their complicated emotions little by little, and tried their best to live as usual.

The incident happened suddenly, but the tense atmosphere in the Zhu family was still temporarily relieved.

The Zhu family's business has not been very good. Although the family is not short of money, but seeing the situation going from bad to worse, Mr. Zhu still feels very uneasy.

Zhu Jintang was already able to walk on the ground, although it was not appropriate to bother, but the old man still called him to the study to discuss together.

As soon as Zhu Jintang sat down, the old man took out an account book from the table and put it in front of his eyes, saying: "This is when you were away before, and Nylon did the accounts for you. Take a look, how do you see it?"

Zhu Jintang's eyebrows twitched, he reached out to turn over the ledger, and looked at it carefully.

After looking at it for a while, he nodded and said, "It's not bad."

The old man said lightly: "I also know that he has done a good job. I didn't call you here today to let you praise him. I just want you to see how this kid Nylon is thinking?"

Zhu Jintang pondered slightly, and understood what his grandfather meant.

The old man sighed and said: "Because of your whereabouts were unknown, we had already made the worst plan. This kid, Nylon, is still calm. He has worked hard for your affairs, and he has not lost anything in business. So, I thought about it, and I still need to give him more opportunities in the future to try his skills. However, the meaning of what Grandpa said is not that there is any pressure on you. You have worked hard for the Zhu family since you were young. , much more than nylon." After speaking, he took out a pair of cards and keys from his pocket, put them on the table and said: "This is the key of the accountant's treasury and the pair of cards for receiving silver. It will be up to you to keep it later.”

Zhu Jintang was startled for a moment, stood up quickly, and said, "Grandpa, how are you doing?"

The key to the treasury and the pair of cards represent the symbol of the head of the family.It stands to reason that this thing should be passed on from the old man to the father, and then from the father to him.

The old man glanced at him, waved his hand to signal him to sit down and talk, and said, "Your father gave it back to me before he left. I thought about it, and decided to give it to you, and let you be the master."

"Before you suffered so many crimes. If you don't tell me, grandpa knows. For this family, you have suffered and suffered, and almost deserved your life. It really makes us elders feel sad and regretful. Jin Tang Ah, it is the best gift for our family that you can come back alive. Grandpa has always thought that he is a person who refuses to accept the old, but after so many things, grandpa really began to accept the old. So , this family will be handed over to you young people sooner or later."

Zhu Jintang's heart couldn't help feeling warm and sour.

In his opinion, Grandpa has always been like an old urchin.Now, hearing him say that he is getting old, I can't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

The old man took a sip of tea and said: "Speaking of which, your father is not young anymore, and his body is not as strong as before. In the future, you will take care of this family and don't worry about anything else. You deserve it .”

Zhu Jintang held the key and the pair of cards in his hands, and felt a heavy feeling in his heart.

At the same time, in the main room of Xiyuan, Li Shi was also talking with Shen Yuechen.

Li Shi held brother Xuan in his arms, but kept his eyes on brother Ming from time to time, with crooked eyebrows and a smile.

She hadn't been in the mood to smile like this for days.

Shen Yuechen personally brought her honey chrysanthemum tea, Li Shi was reluctant to let go of Brother Xuan, and just nodded: "Leave it for now, I'll drink it later."

Shen Yuechen put down the tea bowl upon hearing this, and waited quietly with her.

Li Shi looked down at Brother Xuan's rosy cheeks and said softly, "This child is growing up really fast, it's only been a few days, but it's quite heavy to hold."

Shen Yuechen replied with a smile: "This kid has a good appetite."

Li Shi nodded, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional: "Brother Ming was not as easy to feed as he was when he was his age."

Brother Ming is currently playing with the spinning top on the ground, so naturally he didn't notice that Li Shi mentioned him.

Li Shi hugged Brother Xuan for a while before she was willing to hand her over to Mama Wu.

She picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of the warm tea, then said, "I called you here today because I want to discuss something with you."

Shen Yuechen straightened his back and said, "Just tell me if you have anything to do."

Li Shi said with a smile: "After the master went to the capital, I have always been uneasy. So, I want to go and see, even if I can't help you, I can take care of him personally."

Shen Yuechen nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Li Shi continued: "After I leave like this, I have to take care of the housework. I saw that you took care of the west courtyard well, and it's time to learn to take care of the whole house."

Shen Yuechen felt flattered.It was the first time since she entered the door that Li Shi personally asked her to manage the housework.

Li Shi said lightly: "I know, you are a child with ideas. In the past, because you had so many scruples in your heart, you couldn't let go of many things. So, don't make decisions on your own. Now, we have experienced so many things together. I have also seen a lot of your strengths. That's why I let you take over with confidence. The old lady also said, let me give you a chance to try."

Shen Yuechen lowered her eyes slightly, although she was happy in her heart, she still had many worries.

Li Shi was a little aware of her thoughts, and continued: "The old lady and I both have confidence in you, so don't refuse. Most of the rules at home are set by the old lady, you just follow them." Do it, if there is anything that needs to be changed, let me know in advance, ask for instructions, as long as the changes are reasonable, the old lady will definitely nod her head in agreement."

Shen Yuechen pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "It's rare that the old lady and madam value Yuechen so much, Yuechen will definitely do his best to not let you down."

Li Shi smiled when she heard the words, clapped her hands, and said: "Do your best in everything. We have few family members, and there are not many things to do. You have been married for a long time, and you know everything you need to know. Once you get used to it yourself, you will gradually become familiar with it, and things will be easy to handle.”

Shen Yuechen said modestly: "If there is anything I don't understand in the future, I will inevitably ask the elders to point it out."

Li Shi nodded with a gentle smile on his face.

In the evening, Zhu Jintang and Shen Yuechen returned to the room one after the other, and they both brought back a ledger by coincidence.

Seeing this, Zhu Jintang twitched his brows slightly and said, "What? Did the elders send you an errand?"

Shen Yuechen smiled, nodded and said, "Well, they said they want me to be the housekeeper."

Zhu Jintang stood up and asked in surprise, "Really?"

Such a thing is really surprising.After all, grandma and mother used to make the decisions at home, but now Shen Yuechen is in charge. It can be said that she has a big preference for her.

Seeing that he looked surprised, Shen Yuechen smiled and said, "Mother-in-law said that she was worried that her father-in-law would not be taken care of when she was away, so she wanted to rush to the capital to meet them. So, leave the family affairs to me for the time being. Said To be honest, I also feel a little flattered."

Zhu Jintang smiled lightly when he heard the words: "It will be a matter of time, because you are the eldest daughter-in-law."

Although he said so on his lips, he still felt that it was not an easy task in his heart.

Come to think of it, during the period when his whereabouts were unknown, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law deepened a lot.

Thinking about it carefully is also true. After going through so many ups and downs together, and relying on each other to live, the relationship will naturally become stronger.

Zhu Jintang also felt a lot of relief in his heart, looking at Shen Yuechen's slightly shiny face, he said gently: "Since the elders trust you, just do it well. You are so smart, you must be able to handle it."

Shen Yuechen lowered her eyes slightly when she heard the words, and said: "I just do my best."

The couple talked briefly for a few words, and then stopped talking about it.These days Zhu Jintang has been very tired, it is rare that things have turned a little bit recently, Shen Yuechen decided to let him have a good rest and sleep.

After Zhu Jintang fell asleep, Shen Yuechen deliberately waited for him to fall into a deep sleep before getting up lightly.

During the second watch, she still had to breastfeed the baby, she didn't want to wake up Zhu Jintang again, so she quietly got out of bed early, went to the outside and called Chunming to wait for the maid to come in and help her dress and wash.

After finishing, Shen Yuechen took the account book Li Shi gave her to the children's rest room.

Wu Ma and the two little servant girls were watching over the children while secretly dozing off.

Seeing Shen Yuechen coming, Wu Ma hurriedly put on her clothes and got up, "Why are you here, miss?"

Shen Yuechen looked up at the two little people sleeping side by side on the bed, and said with a slight smile, "It's almost time for Brother Ming to wake up, I'll come and have a look."

Mama Wu looked tired, and her tone became distressed: "Miss, why bother? It's only two o'clock, you should have a good rest, and when the child wakes up, I will personally carry it to you."

Shen Yuechen said with a smile: "In that case, the uncle will also be woken up."

Upon hearing this, Wu Ma showed a clear expression on her face.

It turned out that the miss was feeling sorry for the young master, that's why she got up early on purpose.

Wu Ma sighed helplessly: "It's good for Miss to feel sorry for Uncle, but you have to learn to love yourself."

Shen Yuechen patted her hand, and said, "Don't worry, Mom, I'll be careful."

There was still a long time before Brother Xuan woke up, Shen Yuechen didn't waste any time, sat under the lamp and flipped through a few pages of the ledger.

Wu Ma looked at the ledger a little strangely, not like the ones that Miss usually reads, so she couldn't help asking: "Miss, where is the ledger? This is the first time I've seen it."

Shen Yuechen looked up at her, and said: "Mom has good eyesight. This is the family's account book. The eldest lady just handed it to me today, saying that she wants me to learn how to be a housekeeper."

A look of surprise flashed across Mama Wu's face when she heard the words, "Oh, this is a big deal." After saying this, she suddenly realized that her voice was a little too loud, so she hurriedly lowered her voice and said, "Miss It's really not easy to survive until today, and Da Furen can be said to be very relieved of you now."

Shen Yuechen knew that she was happy for herself again, so she nodded: "Yes, since the eldest lady gave me a chance to show off, I should do it well. Mom, don't stay with me here, go take a nap and lie down .”

Wu Ma said: "What about you, miss? Are you going to stay up all night again?"

"I'll get familiar with the account book first, and after reading it, I'll just catch up on it."

Wu Ma also knew that she couldn't persuade her, so she just lay down on the soft couch beside her, closed her eyes for a while, and got up from time to time to pay attention to the children's movements.

On the thick account book, the family's expenses for the whole year of last year are recorded.
