Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 333 Doll Kiss (2)

The night is heavy and the dew is heavy, and the moon is half curved.

Shen Yuechen still didn't feel sleepy, she sat on the bed leaning on the soft pillow, thinking about Brother Ming's marriage in her heart.

The old lady and aunt had already exchanged tokens and settled the matter.

However, such a decision is not too childish.

Shen Yuechen lowered his eyes slightly, and didn't say a word for a long time.

Zhu Jintang lay on the side as if sleeping but not sleeping. Seeing that the people around him hadn't moved, he opened his eyes and looked at her, saying, "Why aren't you asleep?"

Shen Yuechen was dazed for a moment, and then said: "I'm going to sleep right away. Maybe, I drank too much tea at night, so I'm a little more energetic."

Zhu Jintang turned over, looked at him with his head on one hand, and said, "Is there something on your mind?"

Shen Yuechen originally wanted to say no, but after hesitating for a moment, he still said: "The old lady and aunt made a marriage arrangement for Brother Ming today."

Husband and wife should not hide too many things on their minds.Moreover, the reason why Zhu Jintang asked such a question must be because he had sensed something from her expression.So, she might as well tell the truth.

Zhu Jintang was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, before he realized: "Marriage? Do you mean baby kiss?"

Shen Yuechen nodded, "Brother Ming is not yet four years old. I heard that the great-granddaughter of my aunt's family has just turned one year old."

Zhu Jintang frowned slightly, but then relaxed it.

He has heard many things about children making baby kisses. Although he is surprised, it is not unacceptable.

"Grandma's kind intentions, she wanted to get closer to us. It turned out to be a good thing. However, the children are still so young, so it's okay to make an appointment a few years later."

Zhu Jintang heard a little uneasiness from her tone, and said: "You look like you are very worried. Are you worried about Brother Ming?"

Shen Yuechen shook her head slightly: "I'm not worried, I just feel that everything was decided too hastily."

Zhu Jintang said lightly: "It's true that I was in a hurry. However, the elders just like this. In fact, if you think about it carefully, this is also a good thing."

Shen Yuechen looked up at him, waiting for him to continue.

"My aunt's husband's family, Xu's family, is in the area of ​​Jingzhou. It is also a famous family. Someone in the ancestors used to be a high-ranking official, and the family was well-off. Now, they are engaged in the tea business, as well as homemade scented tea, which is quite famous." Zhu Jintang said slowly : "The eldest son of the Zhu family, it's better to get married sooner rather than later. The sooner Brother Ming gets married, the sooner he can mature and help manage the family affairs."

As the saying goes, get married and start a business.Start a family first, then start a business. Zhu Jintang also took over half of the business from his father after he got married.

Shen Yuechen just smiled slightly when he heard the words, and said in his heart, I hope so.

Tomorrow she will tell Brother Ming about this in person, and she doesn't know how he will react.

Early the next morning, Shen Yuechen took the children to greet the elders as usual.

Perhaps, it was because of the betrothal to Brother Ming.

When the elders in the family saw him, they couldn't help teasing him a few words.

Brother Ming didn't take it seriously at first, he just thought it was just a joke.But unexpectedly, after returning to the west courtyard, Shen Yuechen personally called him to the front, and then told him about the engagement.

Brother Ming was stunned for several seconds after hearing this, before he smiled in disbelief. "Mother, aren't you joking with your son?"

Ever since they expressed their attitudes and intentions to each other, regardless of whether they were in front of others or behind, Ming Geer directly called her "mother", and he paid attention to his words and deeds, and he no longer did as he used to.

Shen Yuechen also hoped that he was telling a joke, but unfortunately he was not.

"This incident happened suddenly. It was just a joke of the elders at first, but who knows, everyone took it seriously in the end and decided it directly."

Brother Ming's eyes widened, he shook his head and said, "How can that be done? Marriage is such a trifling matter."

Shen Yuechen smiled helplessly, and said: "In this era, such a marriage is very common. I know, you don't want to, but this is what the elders mean..."

Before she finished speaking, Brother Ming objected: "No, no. This is simply too ridiculous. How can I marry a woman I have never met before? I don't even know what she looks like? What kind of personality?"

Seeing that his voice was getting higher and higher, Shen Yuechen made a small gesture. "Look at your aggrieved face. I don't know, I thought we were going to force you to marry an ugly monster. The great-granddaughter of my aunt's family is not an ugly monster. It is said that the child has beautiful features. He said that when he grows up, he must be a beautiful embryo."

Brother Ming's expression eased slightly when he heard this, but he still shook his head and said: "It's still not possible. Mother, you know that I am different from ordinary children. I am... In short, I cannot marry someone I don't know. "

No matter how much he pretends to be real, he is still an adult in his bones and cannot accept such a thing.

For him, it's not just a question of who to marry and who not to marry?Rather, he didn't want his life to be hastily arranged like this.

Shen Yuechen sighed softly: "I can understand your feelings. However, the matter has come to this point, whether you want it or not, this marriage cannot be voided."

Hearing this, Brother Ming immediately slumped down on the seat like a wilted eggplant, wrinkled, pouted, with an unhappy face, and muttered to himself: "It's not fair, it's so unfair. It's..."

Shen Yuechen said: "Don't think too badly about things. My aunt's husband's family is also a prestigious family, and they are naturally particular about etiquette. Therefore, when the child grows up, he must be a gentle and decent lady. Strictly speaking, It’s not like I’ve wronged you.”

To be honest, compared to worrying about brother Ming, Shen Yuechen was more worried about his daughter-in-law who hadn't entered the house yet.

Shen Yuechen pondered for a while, and continued: "A woman who is a husband all her life, you will not understand the hard work. So, no matter what the future holds, don't act willfully, lest you hurt someone who shouldn't be hurt."

Although he was wronged, but thinking about that little baby who was still in its infancy and didn't understand human affairs, wouldn't she be a hundred times, a thousand times more wronged than Brother Ming... Brother Ming sat aside dejectedly, without responding for a long time.

He has never thought about getting married. Right now, his most urgent thing is to grow taller and grow up quickly.

Brother Ming looked down at his body with short hands and legs, and couldn't help but sighed helplessly.

Even at the age of a little kid, he unexpectedly got lucky for no reason. It's really... Really speechless.

Seeing his sullen look, Shen Yuechen hurriedly raised her hand to pat his head, and comforted him: "Okay, okay, don't be wronged. Marriage needs to be managed and maintained slowly, as long as you are willing to put your heart into it."

Hearing this, Brother Ming looked up at her, and said, "Not everyone can be as lucky as Daddy to meet someone like you."

We have been together for so long, Ming Geer feels from the bottom of his heart that he is considered lucky.Just imagine, if he hadn't met Shen Yuechen back then, what would his life have been like?What will become of the Zhu family?
If he could choose in the future, he also wanted to choose a wife like Shen Yuechen.Although I haven't done anything spectacular, I can hold on to the most ordinary days and survive the most difficult difficulties.

Shen Yuechen was dazed for a moment when he heard Brother Ming's words, and was about to speak when he saw the maids coming over to exchange tea, so he stopped talking and drank the tea quietly.

A few days later, news came from Jingzhou, saying that the eldest grandson and granddaughter-in-law of my aunt had heard about the engagement and decided to bring their baby daughter who had just turned one year to visit Zhu's house.

It seemed that the Zhu family couldn't help but feel a little surprised by the sudden decision of the three old people, and even the Xu family felt it was abrupt.

My aunt's eldest son, surnamed Xu Mingran, is slightly younger than Zhu Jintang by two years, and is twenty-five this year.It is said that he is handsome, talented, and a very good person.

Less than two years after Xu Ran's wife entered the house, the Xu family gave birth to a daughter. Although it was a daughter, she was valued and loved by the family because she was the first child.

Xu Ran named the child Xu Nian'en, nicknamed En'en, and felt that she was a gift from heaven to himself and the Xu family.

However, a family letter from their grandmother made them panic. The child who had just turned one year old was already about to get engaged. This fact made Xu Ran, a new father, and his wife, Liang Shi, a new mother, find it difficult to accept. .

Although Jingzhou is thousands of miles away from Dezhou, the Zhu family has a good reputation, they are close relatives of the emperor, and it is also their grandmother's natal family, so the Xu family still knows about them.

After much deliberation, Xu Ran decided to take his wife and daughter over to have a look, which was more thoughtful and safe than writing a letter.

They took a boat all the way by water, passed through several small towns, and took a short rest. It took a month and a half before they arrived in Dezhou.

At this time in Texas, it is already April in the world.

The spring is bright and the flowers are blooming just right. It is a good time to visit relatives and friends.

Take off the heavy cotton-padded jacket, put on light and bright spring clothes, blow the warm wind, smell the fragrance of flowers, and let people's spirits be refreshed.

Xu Ran and his wife Liang Shi rode in a carriage for a long time before arriving at the gate of Zhu's house.

The Zhu family's ancestral house is an old house with a history of more than 100 years. However, because it was just renovated a few years ago, it does not look old, but it gives people a strong and heavy feeling.

Zhu Jintang personally came to greet him at the door. Xu Ran and him were cousins, so they still called each other "cousin" and "cousin" according to their seniority.And Xu Ran's wife, Liang Shi, also called Shen Yuechen "cousin".

Mrs. Liang doesn't look very old, at most fifteen or sixteen years old. Moreover, she is small in stature and a little shy of strangers. Whenever she sees strangers, she will blush and feel very shy.
