Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 46 Returning to the Door (1)

According to the rules, Zhu Jintang accompanied Shen Yuechen back home to pay his respects, but the two of them could not stay overnight at Shen's house, they had to come back before dark, there were too many things in the shop, and they couldn't be delayed for a day.

The Zhu family and the Shen family are both in the city of Dezhou, whether they are far or close.If you take a carriage and walk slowly, it will take nearly an hour to arrive.

At this time, the door of Zhu's house has been opened. In order to welcome today's distinguished guests, the atmosphere in the mansion has been very tense since yesterday. Suddenly asked to rearrange.

Undoubtedly, the entire Shen family regarded today as a big day, rather than welcoming the new son-in-law, it was more like welcoming the God of Wealth.

Along the way, there was silence in the carriage, and no one talked.

Zhu Jintang closed his eyes and rested his mind, while Shen Yuechen sat beside him, looking at his nose and heart with his eyes, with a calm expression and no joy.

The accompanying servants of Zhu's family followed the car, and occasionally shouted a few times to drive away the common people who came to watch the fun and beg.

The servants outside the Shen family have already stretched their necks and waited for the whole morning, what's more, they even went down to eat lunch, wanting to see the legendary young master of the Zhu family, and even the old lady went out to meet him in person. What a powerful and extraordinary person the new uncle is.

After a while, a person with sharp eyes saw a group of people coming into the alley following a gorgeous covered carriage, and immediately turned around, rushed into the courtyard, and shouted: "Miss and Uncle have arrived."

Hearing the words, several servant girls hurried across the corridor to the Xinuang Pavilion in the main courtyard, and did not enter the house, but just bowed themselves outside the curtain, panting and joyfully said: "To the old lady, the eldest lady brought the new uncle I'm back home."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shen smiled all over her face, put down her tea bowl, and told everyone, "Yuechen is back, let's all go and have a look."

Shen Zhiyun got up slowly, his movements were somewhat slow, not as impatient as others.After all, he is a fourth-rank magistrate, and he is usually used to putting on official airs at home and outside, but no matter how extraordinary Zhu Jintang was born, he is still a commoner, and now he has become his son-in-law... As an old man, he has to go out to greet him. The son-in-law undoubtedly made him feel ashamed and uncomfortable... Shen Zhijian and Xiao Shi were very active, leading the two sisters, Shen Yue'e and Shen Yuexiu, to the front.

Shen Yuechan and Shen Yueying waited beside their mother on one left and one on the right, looking at the goose yellow dress on Shen Yuee's body, their faces were full of disdain, and a sneer appeared at the corners of their mouths.

Although she looked down on their fawning looks, she also put a lot of effort into her dressing in the morning.After all, it is a rich family, so you can't lose face.

When she got up early, Yao came here to dress up the two sisters carefully, and personally chose clothes for them to wear.She was still a little puzzled at the time, but she just felt that even though the Zhu family was noble, as long as she dressed properly, it would be fine.Unexpectedly, Yao Shi just whispered into her ear, "You must make a good impression on Zhu Jintang, the marriage of your two sisters is also on this now."

Yao shi didn't say much, but it made Shen Yuechan think a lot. I don't know what kind of wishful thinking her mother was planning behind her... In fact, as early as the day Shen Yuechen got married, Yao shi and the old lady were planning together. over this matter.

In Yao's eyes, Shen Yuechen married into Zhu's family with the blessing of a dead person, so she felt dissatisfied, thinking that if Zhu Jintang had to choose her personally, even if he tried to cover her with his toes, he would not choose her.

That night, Yao looked at the old lady's face, and asked tentatively: "That child, Yuechen, is simple-minded and doesn't like to socialize with others. Will he do well in Zhu's house?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shen took a deep look at Mrs. Yao, took a sip of tea and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it, the whole family doesn't need to hide it."

Yao shi smiled, and naturally said something: "What the daughter-in-law means is that Yuechen is docile and doesn't know much about the world. Apart from those women and maids, there is no one around who can help her. ...Although the Zhu family has a big family and a great business, that family is not easy to get along with. If anything happens to her, I'm afraid she will be wronged..."

Hearing this, the old lady smiled and said, "You are thoughtful, so what do you think should be done? Only by doing this can we help the child?"

Having said all this, how could the old lady not understand Yao Shi's thoughts.However, such words still had to come out of her own mouth.

Yao simply put the words aside: "I think, since a noble family like the Qin family is willing to condescend, in order to win over the Zhu family, they don't hesitate to send their daughter to be an aunt. Why don't we strike while the iron is hot and send someone over to help Yue What about Chen? After all, they are the sisters in the family, and if they work together, they will take care of each other, and life will be easier."

As the old lady listened, the smile on her face deepened. She knew that Yao Shi was a woman who loved money like her life, but she didn't know that she still had the consciousness to cling to power and stalk her.

"It's really not easy to say these words from your mouth." The old lady pondered slightly: "Then take a look, which child in our family is the most suitable? Hasn't Yuechan always been your favorite child?" Well, for someone who has great hopes in the future, are you willing to let her go to be the aunt of the Zhu family?"

In terms of appearance and beauty, Shen Yuechan is definitely the most outstanding one among the sisters.

Yao Shi was naturally reluctant to let his daughter be his aunt, he hesitated and said: "Of course I prefer Yueying, but she is too soft-tempered and timid, and she doesn't always have the tenacity of her elder sister. .”

The old lady leaned on Luohan's bed and nodded casually: "That's true..."

Yao shi paused for a moment, "If Yuechan can really help, this little grievance won't be considered a grievance."

Fame is important, but as long as you have the means, there is nothing you can't do. It depends on human effort, and it's not impossible for my aunt to become a real wife.

The old lady had been waiting for her to finish speaking before she said earnestly: "Daughter-in-law, it's really not easy for you to think about everything for the Shen family. But it's too early to start thinking about it now. As the saying goes Dao, we can’t chew too much, let’s take our time and see how that child Yuechen is doing first.”

Shen Yuechen had just entered the door, and he hadn't even stood firm on his heels. It was a time when he couldn't take care of himself, so how could he have the energy to support others.

When Yao shi heard this, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

Too much greed can't be chewed, the old lady thinks she's troublesome and greedy.

The old lady Shen followed: "The most important thing right now is to prepare to return home, don't think about the rest, remember to measure, don't make people laugh."

After hearing this, Yao shi nodded and gave a long "Yes", with an extremely ugly expression on his face.She endured it and swallowed the rest of the words into her stomach.There are always times when people are old, and there are always times when they can't speak. She doesn't have to compete with this old bone now, and there will always be a time when she is in charge of the house in the future.

Zhu's carriage drove slowly across the street, through the alley, and finally stopped outside the gate of Zhu's house, which was full of people.

The servants who had been waiting outside the gate for a long time looked expectant, but they didn't dare to make a sound. They only watched the gently fluttering curtain of the car cautiously.

The accompanying young man came to report, Zhu Jintang opened his eyes, and said softly, "Have you arrived yet?"

Shen Yuechen nodded with a smile, and stretched out her hands to straighten his clothes a little.

Seeing her smiling face, Zhu Jintang thought she was very happy, so he offered a hand.

Shen Yuechen was slightly taken aback, and then understood what he meant, he wanted to support himself.

Shen Yuechen frowned, smiled gratefully at him, then lowered her head, and got out of the car with the back of his warm hand.

The couple got out of the car together, and when they looked up, they saw a large group of people standing outside the gate of the Shen family.

At this time, the servants didn't dare to look any further, and immediately bowed down to salute and greeted in unison.

Zhu Jintang stood still, he didn't expect that the whole Shen family would be mobilized like this.He glanced at Shen Yuechen beside him, but saw that she also looked shocked.

Seeing Zhu Jintang, everyone's eyes flashed with surprise, and looking at Shen Yuechen beside him, they were even more amazed.

Shen Yuechen also specially dressed up today, with pink cloud makeup, brocade and brocade clothes, a wishful bun on her head, and a silver-plated gold-plated treasure-embedded butterfly hairpin, which looks very dignified and luxurious.

Not seeing each other for a day is like three autumns.I hadn't seen her for a few days, but she seemed to be a completely different person in front of her, standing with Zhu Jintang, she was no less attractive, just like a Biren.

In the past, Shen Yuechen seldom dressed up, and her body was always pure and clean, but now, she has changed suddenly, and everyone dare not recognize her.

Shen Yuechen could see the surprise in everyone's eyes, then he walked forward slowly with his head down, knelt down and greeted the elders.

Mrs. Shen smiled, shook her hand, and said with concern, "How is the journey? Are you tired?"

Shen Yuechen nodded, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she replied: "Please take care of me, grandma, everything is fine."

Zhu Jintang also greeted the old man, then looked at Shen Zhiyun standing opposite, cupped his hands, and said politely: "Master Shen."

Shen Zhiyun looked at this long-awaited "son-in-law" and nodded with satisfaction.

Needless to say, Zhu Jintang has a handsome appearance. Although he is only in his 20s, he has calm eyes, a calm expression, and no arrogance, giving people a mature and stable feeling.

When the group returned to the Shangfang teahouse, Mrs. Shen sat at the head, Shen Zhiyun and Yao Shi sat on the left side of her lower head, Shen Zhijian and Xiao Shi sat on the right side, Shen Yuechen and Zhu Jintang sat on the side according to their seniority. Sitting facing the crowd, the girls of the Shen family were unable to take their seats, so they just stood behind their parents, silently looking at the handsome and silent Zhu Jintang sitting aside.

The young master of the Zhu family is well-known, and everyone in Dezhou city knows it, but they often live in the boudoir and don't like to go out, so they don't know that he is still a handsome man with first-class appearance.

Shen Yuee showed envy, and Shen Yuekui also sighed secretly. Even Shen Yuechan, who was standing behind Yao, couldn't help but be fascinated, her eyes gradually revealed a bit of jealousy and longing.God must have taken a wrong eye and chose the wrong person, how could he choose Shen Yuechen?

After everyone was seated, the maids immediately served the brewed tea.

Shen Zhiyun looked at Zhu Jintang and said politely: "My son-in-law, this is a fine pekoe, how about you try it?"

Baihao Silver Needle, known as the "King of Tea", is as white as silver and has a mellow soup taste. It is a rare and rare product.

Hearing this, Shen Yuechen couldn't help laughing, it seems that in order to entertain Zhu Jintang, Shen Zhiyun probably took out all the treasures he had kept in the bottom of the box.It's a pity that Zhu's noble family didn't take this idea to heart.

Zhu Jintang took the tea bowl slowly, took a sip of the hot tea, and tasted it carefully with his lips pursed. Then, he gave a faint "um", neither saying yes nor no.

Shen Zhiyun was drinking happily, seeing his indifferent performance, he couldn't help showing a bit of disappointment on his face.This tea, but he brought it back from the capital all the way, usually he is reluctant to drink more...
