Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 73 Selection (1)

Shen Yuechen was about to ask Chun Ming to come in, but Zhu Jintang hugged him even harder... Shen Yuechen smiled awkwardly: "Master, stop making trouble, I will wait for you to get up and wash up."

It's like this early in the morning, if the maid comes in and bumps into it, wouldn't it be embarrassing.

But Zhu Jintang refused to let go, last night he saw that she was worried, so he didn't touch her, and endured it secretly all night, but when he woke up early in the morning, he just hugged her, and his body became hot.

Shen Yuechen felt something was wrong, struggled a few times, and softly declined: "It's getting late, we should get up."

Zhu Jintang was already too close to her, unwilling to give up halfway, he slowly raised her chin with his hand, his hot lips meandered down along the pink cheeks, and fell between the eyebrows and the corners of the lips.

When the breathing of both of them started to be slightly messy, his thin lips came close to her ear, and he said in the most gentle and deepest tone: "When you grow up, you must give me a child."

His voice clearly hit Shen Yuechen's eardrums, causing great pain, and even her heart ached slightly... Before Shen Yuechen officially started to take care of the house, a person died in the west courtyard.

The servants talked about this with each other, only dared to slander, dare not speak out, occasionally gathered together to whisper a few insults, and dispersed before the master noticed.Fortunately, the old lady made the decision for her herself, and sent someone to clean up the matter in a few seconds.

There was no one in Mingyue's house for a long time, so she randomly found a poor relative who couldn't beat eight poles, gratefully received ten taels of silver, and took Mingyue's body away.Because of the fright, Mingxin lost his mind and followed Ren Yazi crazily.At this point, things are settled.

Although clean, but after this incident, Nanny Li also lost face in front of the old ladies and wives.

The old lady called her to her on purpose, without raising her eyes, with a solemn face, she taught her a lesson: "You used to be a shrewd and capable person, but now, I don't know if it's because of your age, you are so confused. The servant is Servant, how can I go and gossip in front of my master? It’s really bad luck for someone who dares to seek death and life without gossiping! Don’t make such a thing happen again in the future. It's only been a few days since you entered the house...Li Nanny, you've spent most of your life in Zhu's house, so when you're here, you've completely lost all the old face you've accumulated over the past few decades."

Nanny Li glanced at the old lady's face, how could she fail to understand what she meant, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Because of taking medicine all the time to replenish his body, Shen Yuechen didn't suffer as badly as before when the little days of this month came, and he could pretend that nothing happened, and went to pay his respects to the elders.It's just that I didn't dare to stay longer, after sitting for a while, I had to go back and lie down to rest immediately.

Wu Ma secretly found all the hand stoves that were only used in winter, put them in the charcoal, and put them beside her to warm her stomach.

Although it will be earlier than the three-volt period, the weather outside is still very hot.

Chunming just went out to deliver the account book to Manager Zhu, and she was sweating from the heat. When she came back, she saw Shen Yuechen covered with a thin quilt and holding a stove, and she was a little worried: "Miss, if you cover it like this, will you get sick?" ?”

Wu Ma shook her head, brought a bowl of warm brown sugar ginger tea, carefully brought it to the bedside, and handed it to Shen Yuechen.

Shen Yuechen's physique is cold and he doesn't like to sweat, even in the dog days, his body is very refreshing.

At this moment, she wiped off the rouge and gouache she applied in the morning, her face looked a little pale, and the tip of her nose was slightly sweaty. She took the ginger tea and asked, "Did you send the ledger?"

Chunming nodded, "The servants have sent them over. The second steward said that he will send the books back after he finishes paying the bills."

Shen Yuechen took a sip of ginger tea, and said, "You ask the little maid in the courtyard to watch carefully, and when you see Zhu An arriving, hurry over and report."

Chunming asked suspiciously: "Yes, miss, do you still want to see the second steward?"

Shen Yuechen shook her head slightly: "I don't want to see him, I'm afraid that he will come to see me when the time comes."

No matter who came to this yard, she had to prepare in advance, so as not to be seen with her sickly appearance.

After drinking a bowl of hot ginger tea, Shen Yuechen's forehead was also covered with sweat. Wu Ma hurriedly asked, "Miss, do you want to sit down for a while, or lie down and sleep for a while?"

Shen Yuechen said: "I'd better lie down, even though I can't sleep, it's good to nourish my spirit."

"There are three big maids in the yard all of a sudden, and there is no one to do a lot of work, and I am not feeling well, so I have to make you hard." Shen Yuechen looked at Wu Ma and said apologetically.

Wu Ma stretched out her hand and took out the handkerchief to wipe her face, and said in a reproachful tone: "Miss is too polite to say that. Don't worry, there are plenty of women and maids outside, but they will do any work that requires a little effort. Where can we go hard?"

Shen Yuechen heard the words, smiled slightly and said: "With my mother here, I have nothing to worry about."

No matter in Shen's house or Zhu's house, as long as Wu Ma is by her side, she will feel very at ease in her heart.Having been together day and night for more than ten years, never leaving her, there is no doubt that in this life, Wu Ma is the closest person to her.

Wu Ma and Chun Ming took advantage of her nap time to go back to the kitchen for lunch, and Mrs. Li had already prepared meals for them.There are fish and meat in the dishes, and the best ones are deliberately selected.

Wu Ma looked at the big greasy bowl, and suddenly lost her appetite. Seeing two greedy little maids beside her, just staring at her bowl and swallowing, she beckoned and said, "Come on, you two should eat this bowl of rice." Take it and share it."

The two little maids were overjoyed when they heard the words, and immediately stepped forward to hold the bowl, and directly grabbed the meat with their hands and put it in their mouths.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li became a little anxious: "You two little hoofs, are you reincarnated from starvation? Tsk tsk, look at your voracious eating, you are destined to be unlucky." Mom said to her: "Mom, don't get used to these dumb people. If you get greedy later, you should go to the kitchen to steal something to eat."

When Mama Wu heard this, she just smiled: "The child is growing up, and his mouth is full of hunger. It's okay, I'll just order a bowl of plain noodles by myself in a while."

Although she is good at cooking, she still likes to be a vegetarian. Firstly, she is used to it, and secondly, she wants to fast and accumulate some merit for the young lady.

Shen Yuechen's health has been bad since she was a child, and Wu Ma has also worried a lot. It has become a habit to pray to gods and Buddhas. She doesn't ask for everything, but only for spiritual support.

Mrs. Li listened, and with a smiling face beside her, she said to herself, "Blind these delicious dishes for nothing."If I had known, I would have eaten two more bites just now.

After Mama Wu took over the kitchen, Mrs. Li and her subordinates had much less oil and water in their hands. Even the women who bought goods from outside complained about them, often talking behind their backs. Forget it, why bother to have everyone accompany her to endure hardships, the Zhu family has a great fortune, piled up with gold and silver, and it's not that they can't afford it.

In the past, when the Qin family was still there, there were chickens, ducks, and fishes left over every day. During the festivals, even abalone's wing belly could be seen.But now...Look at the bowl of noodles Wu Ma cooked for herself. There are only a few cabbage hearts, a pinch of salt, and a few drops of sesame oil in it. It's very light.

Mrs. Li watched from the side, shaking her head slightly.

Blessings will not be enjoyed, it is better to be unlucky.

In the afternoon, Zhu An came over on time to deliver the ledgers, one old and one new.In the new account book, according to Shen Yuechen's previous proposal, the fixed items are written one by one, and only the expenses incurred are written below each time.

Shen Yuechen saw that he was serious and did not perfunctory himself, she was very satisfied, and said with a smile: "Guan Zhu is really thoughtful, this new account is very well done."

Zhu An suffered a disadvantage in front of her before, and remembering this lesson in his heart, he said with a very respectful attitude: "I don't dare to take credit, it all depends on Grandma's intelligence, I came up with this good idea, and it saved my energy .”

Shen Yuechen put down the account book and said with a smile: "You take back this new account book, I only keep this old account book that I haven't finished copying."

Zhu An originally thought that if she was satisfied with the new account book, she would stop thinking about copying the account book.

"Young Mistress, this slave thinks, since you are satisfied with this new account...then there is no need to copy the old account again."

Shen Yuechen suddenly felt a pain in the abdomen, only clenched the handkerchief in his hand, pretending to be safe and said: "Guan Zhu, don't worry, I left the account book not because I don't trust you, but because I want to take this opportunity to learn about the various things in the family. Expenses. I am young, thanks to the trust of the old lady, and now I am a beginner, so please ask Guanshi Zhu to give me some advice."

How can you manage without looking at the ledger?If she can't control money, and can't control people, her eldest mistress is really just a show.

Zhu An clasped his hands and bowed, and replied, "Young Mistress is flattering your servant."

Shen Yuechen couldn't sit still because of the pain, and was about to order Chunming to see off the guests, but Zhu An said again: "It's time to add a few people to the young mistress's yard."

There is a rare vacancy in the west courtyard, so it would be a pity not to take the opportunity to let someone in.

The inner courtyard is different from the outer house, they can't come in and out at will, if they want to inquire about the news, they have to bribe the maids first, it is better to use their own people directly, saving money, labor and effort.

Shen Yuechen pondered slightly: "Guard Zhu has a heart, I have already sent Madam Li to look around. If Manager Zhu has a suitable candidate, just tell her the old man, and I will take a closer look later."

Because Nanny Li was scolded by the old lady, she was very concerned about choosing the maid, and even went to the major dental clinics in Texas City without hesitation.

Normally, the important people of the Zhu family would pick out the best ones from the major tooth shops and let the wives of the Zhu family have a look at them in person.Now, seeing Li Mama come to the door in person, I can't help being a little surprised and pleasantly surprised. I regard her as a guest, treat her with good tea and food on the surface, and secretly give red envelopes to each other, just asking her to nod happily. Give them a few good deals.

Nanny Li had to choose and choose, and it took three full days to choose a few that were slightly more attractive.

She has always had three choices: not to choose those who have no relatives or reasons, not to choose those who come from bad backgrounds, and not to choose those who are ugly and vulgar.

People who have no relatives and no reason, have no worries, no scruples, and are prone to disasters.And those who are robbed and abducted come from unknown sources, and they will be a disaster sooner or later. Even if you draw up a contract of sale, you don't know that they are using false names.Also, those who are mean in appearance and vulgar in speech, just looking at them makes people feel awkward, let alone serving the master.
