Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 378 The Grange ([-])

The scorching summer is coming to an end, but the chirping of cicadas at night is still ringing tirelessly all night long.

Shen Yuechen didn't sleep very well, but Zhu Jintang beside him was sleeping very deeply, snoring lightly all the time.

In the early morning, Shen Yuechen stood in front of the window, looking out
The red, green and green flowers are very beautiful in the morning light.

She looked at it for a long time before turning back to the bed and gently waking Zhu Jintang up.

In order to get to the farm in the outskirts before dinner, they had to start early.

Zhu Jintang hummed, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Shen Yuechen, cleared his throat and said, "What time is it?"

"It's almost time for Chen Shi."

Hearing this, Zhu Jintang quickly sat up, rubbed the old wound on his shoulder, and said, "It's about this time."

Shen Yuechen took the initiative to stretch out his hands and gently rubbed his shoulders, "Does the old injury still hurt, sir?"

Zhu Jintang said honestly: "It doesn't hurt anymore, it's just a little stiff, and you need to move around to loosen your muscles and bones."

When Shen Yuechen heard this, the strength in his hand became a little lighter.

Every time she saw the long scar on his shoulder, she felt a heart-wrenching pain.

Thinking about it, if it was a few inches deeper, his life would have been lost.

Thinking of this, something suddenly occurred to Shen Yuechen's mind, which she kept in mind all the time, but rarely asked about it, because she knew that Zhu Jintang must know it well.

"Master, several months have passed in a flash, have you found all the murderers who framed you?" Shen Yuechen asked cautiously.

Zhu Jintang's eyes flickered slightly, and he said lightly: "Cangzhou is still looking for it, but it doesn't matter if we can't find it, we all know who did it."

Although, it has been a long time since he was able to find definite evidence that Zhu Jintang was framed by the Jia family, but apart from the Jia family, Zhu Jintang really couldn't think of anyone else who would dare to do such a thing.

Zhu Jintang has always kept this account firmly in his heart, but now is not the time, and it is not the time to take revenge on the Jia family.

Shen Yuechen saw his face change slightly, and hurriedly said: "Master, please get up and wash up, breakfast is ready."

Zhu Jintang nodded and got up to wash and change clothes.

Taking advantage of her free time, Shen Yuechen asked the maids to come over and prepare the meals.

The children's breakfast was brought into the house, so that they could sleep for a while longer without tossing about.

When it was dawn, Shen Yuechen had already packed everything up.

Outside the door, Zhu Liujin was waiting in the courtyard with a group of servants.Among them were men and women, old and young, all of them were servants who wanted to follow Zhu Jintang and Shen Yuechen to the farm.

Wu Ma personally checked the names and counted carefully, there were five maids and servants each, plus two cooks and two coachmen, a total of 14 people.

Naturally, Mama Wu wanted to go to the farm together, but Chun Ming wanted to stay temporarily and take care of the house.It's not that he doesn't want to take her with him, but because she suddenly fell ill yesterday, she was vomiting and diarrhea, and it was really inconvenient for her to go out.

After all the preparations were completed, Zhu Jintang took Shen Yuechen to the upper room to bid farewell to the elders.

Seeing the excited expressions on the children's faces, the old lady said in a tone full of reluctance: "How many of you are so happy? You know, this trip will take a while, and you are so willing to leave home in your heart."

It is a rare opportunity for the children to go out for a walk and play, so they are naturally very happy.

However, Zhu Ying and Brother Ming would also look at each other. Seeing Shen Yuechen blinking, he hurriedly ran to the elders, and said coquettishly: "I miss the two old ancestors the most. The ancestors should go with Brother Ming too."

Seeing what her brother said, Zhu Ying looked at Li Shi and said, "Ying'er is also reluctant to part with her grandparents, she really wants to bring the whole family there..."

The old man chuckled when he heard the words: "Hey, these two little dolls are really sweet."

The old lady hugged Brother Ming and was reluctant to get up again: "You dishonest little thing, since you don't want to, you can stay and stay with us."

Brother Ming immediately pouted when he heard the words: "No, no."

The old lady was amused by him, and sighed helplessly: "Okay, okay, go and play. Just don't be so naughty like you were at home, and you will fall and hurt yourself. When you come back, I will Will check one by one, but whoever hurts himself."

Li Shi stretched out her hands to straighten Zhu Ying's braids, and said, "It was your mother who braided your braids again this morning."

Zhu Ying nodded, "Mmm", turned around in front of her, and said, "My mother also chose this dress for me. Does grandma think it looks good?"

"It's pretty." Li Shi smiled.

The material of the clothes was brand new, probably freshly made and only washed once.

At first, she thought that because of Cao's matter, Shen Yuechen would be jealous of Zhu Ying, but she didn't expect that she would still treat that child the same as before, without any change.

This is the best.

As an elder, one must look like an elder, and Shen Yuechen has always done a good job in this regard.

Li Shi immediately asked, "Have you packed your luggage?"

"It's all ready."

"How many people are you going to bring this time?"

"If you count all of them, there are 15 people."

Li raised her eyebrows slightly: "With just a few people, can they serve you well?"

Shen Yuechen nodded and said: "That's enough, they are all capable old people."

Zhu Jintang followed suit and said, "There are still many servants in the Zhuangzi, so you don't need to bring too many."

Li Shi was more or less worried, and he had to ask everything before he could feel at ease.

In order not to delay their trip, the old lady let them go on the road after a few words of advice.

The chariots and horses walked slowly, and they had just left the alley.

Brother Ming couldn't wait to lift the curtain, looked out, and stuck out his whole little head.

Before he could take a closer look, he was pulled back by Shen Yuechen.

"There are many cars outside, you just sit in the car and watch."

Hearing this, Brother Ming had no choice but to cross his legs and face the window, watching the bustle outside for a moment.

He was really bored by Zhu's family for too long, and he felt that he was going to be stupid.

Nowadays, it is really not easy to have the opportunity to go out for a walk.

He wished he could turn himself into that light and nimble little bird, break free desperately, and take a happy stroll.

Shen Yuechen didn't know what was on his mind, that's why he didn't stop him, and only let him slowly appreciate the quaint and bustling streets full of the atmosphere of the market.

Zhu Jintang doesn't like making cars, and usually only likes to ride horses when going out.

He stood up straight, with a tall and straight figure, walking majesticly on the street, attracting a lot of onlookers.

Some people had sharp eyes and recognized him as Zhu Jintang, the young master of the Zhu family.

"Oh, look, isn't that Zhu Jintang, the young master of the Zhu family? Look at his vigor and vigor, it's really amazing."

The fact that Zhu Jintang was framed was not a small news in Dezhou city.

As outsiders, they naturally didn't know the inside story of the twists and turns. Now, just looking at Zhu Jintang's high-spirited appearance, he couldn't help but feel emotional.

As the saying goes, if you survive a catastrophe, you will have a future blessing.The youngest of the Zhu family escaped that catastrophe, and what awaits him in the future is probably only a good life.

Brother Ming inadvertently noticed those envious and curious eyes.

Occasionally, a few beggar-like children in ragged clothes would pass by the car, eagerly chasing the wheels, grinning at Brother Ming and begging: "Young master, please show me some money."

Their faces were black, and their hands were also black. They all looked like they had rolled out of coal piles.

Hearing this, Brother Ming unconsciously touched his body from behind, but he was helpless, he was just a child and had no money on him.

Shen Yuechen had noticed this a long time ago, and only told Cui Xin: "Scatter some copper coins outside."

Cui Xin nodded yes.

Hearing this, Brother Ming quickly turned his head, stared at the rattling purse in Cui Xin's hand, stretched out his little hand and said, "Give me some money too."

Cui Xin smiled and shook her head, "The copper coins are too dirty, it's better for the young master not to touch them." After finishing speaking, she casually grabbed a handful of copper coins and threw them outside.

The moment the copper coins fell to the ground, the children stopped chasing them, and then threw themselves on the ground, picking them up and grabbing them one by one.

The road was tossed by them and the dust was flying all over the sky. Seeing this, Brother Ming had to look away and sit upright.

Shen Yuechen looked down at him, and found that he was lowering his head thoughtfully, so he leaned into his ear, and said in an inaudible voice, "Is it suddenly that I feel very lucky?"

Brother Ming looked at her in surprise, but he didn't expect that she would guess what was on his mind.

Shen Yuechen smiled slightly, and gave him a look of understanding.

Of course she knew, because she had thought so too.

Sometimes, the human heart is like that.You have to see those less fortunate than yourself to know how lucky you are.

Shen Yuechen touched his head, at this moment, Zhu Jintang came to the side of the car again, and said: "Brother Ming, when we get out of the city gate later, do you want to ride a horse with Dad?"

Hearing the words, Brother Ming regained his energy immediately, and hurriedly clapped his hands to him and said: "Okay, okay, I want to ride a horse."

Cuixin carried Brother Ming out of the carriage and handed it over to Zhu Jintang who was on the horse.

Brother Ming was a small person, sitting firmly in Zhu Jintang's arms, without any expression of fear on his face.

Zhu Liujin watched from the side, quickly gave a thumbs up and said, "Master, our Young Master Ming is really adventurous, even though it is his first time riding a horse, he is not afraid at all."

Zhu Jintang hugged Brother Ming tightly with only one arm, lowered his head and smiled and asked, "Little guy, are you really not afraid?"

Brother Ming raised his two little hands, as if he was riding a horse, and said excitedly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Daddy, ride faster, the faster the better."

Shen Yuechen sat in the car, heard his hearty and hearty laughter, hurriedly raised the curtain to look over, and warned: "Master, don't ride too fast, lest the road will be too bumpy."

Hearing this, Zhu Jintang tightened the reins a little, pretending to be helpless and said: "It seems that we can only ride slowly, lest your mother nagging behind."
