Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 95 Lively (1)

That person was a pretty girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, with crooked eyebrows and eyes, looking at Shen Yuechen with a sweet smile, while pulling Zhu Jintang's hand, and asked softly: "Brother Jintang, this is our new family member." sister in law?"

Shen Yuechen was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and saw that the woman was wearing a peach blossom misty blouse, a gold threaded gauze skirt, a gold inlaid jade dragonfly hairpin on her head, and a pair of suet white jade bracelets on her wrists, making her skin fair , at first glance, she looks like a noble daughter of a famous family, but she looks very strange, as if she has never seen it before.

Shen Yuechen looked at Zhu Jintang as if asking for help, "Excuse me, this is..."

Just as Zhu Jintang was about to open his mouth, the woman opened her mouth first, with a friendly sweet smile on her face: "Sister-in-law, I am Ruan Linluo, brother Jintang's eldest cousin."

Cousin... I think she must be Zhu Yuanlan's daughter, the official lady in Jingguo Gong's mansion in the capital.

Shen Yuechen finally smiled down-to-earth, and hurriedly reached out to hold Ruan Linluo's soft and boneless hands, and said in a friendly tone: "So it's sister Linluo. Let me go in and greet the two old ancestors."

Ruan Linluo smiled at her. She had heard that her eldest cousin married a new sister-in-law, but she didn't expect her to be so young, she looked about the same age as herself.

Ruan Linluo looked carefully, and felt that compared with the former Qin's, this new sister-in-law looked much more docile and kind, with fair skin, light body, delicate and fair face, and a pair of very gentle eyes. He is a good-natured and docile person.

Xu Shi, because of the similar age, Shen Yuechen has a kind face, which makes people feel a little more close at first sight.

Ruan Linluo didn't have the temperament to admit life, she loved talking and laughing with people, so she would hold hands with Shen Yuechen as she walked into the yard, and said with a smile, "It's the first time we've met, so it's only natural that my sister-in-law doesn't recognize me."

Shen Yuechen saw her smiling and talking in a friendly manner, so he couldn't help but look at her twice more, and naturally he felt better. "This time when my sister comes here, it's better to stay here for a long time. In the future, I will often talk together and get close."

Ruan Linluo winked at her playfully when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, since I'm here, it will definitely take some time before I'm willing to leave."

This time, in order to be able to come to Dezhou with her eldest cousin, she really spent a lot of effort to obtain the consent of her parents.Now, after finally being able to go out of the house for a trip, she doesn't have to stay in the room every day studying piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and female red needlework. Naturally, she will have enough shopping and playing before she can think about going back.

Zhu Jintang walked ahead alone with his hands behind his back. Hearing their chatting and laughing, he couldn't help adding a touch of softness between his brows.The road was bumpy and windy, but thanks to her a delicate and airy little girl, she was able to endure it happily without a single complaint.

Regarding the fact that Ruan Linluo wanted to come, Zhu Jintang did not express it in the reply letter according to the eldest aunt's wishes. Firstly, he was afraid of missing the surprise if he said it too early. A place for her to live.

Sure enough, as soon as Ruan Linluo entered the room, Mr. Zhu widened his eyes, pointed at her, and said with surprise, "Look, who is here?"

The old lady was also surprised, cleared her throat, and said tremblingly: "Oh, isn't this my Luo'er?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuechen let go of Ruan Linluo's little hand with a smile, and let her go forward to say hello.

Ruan Linluo first bowed to the two ancestors: "Grandson greets the two ancestors, the ancestors are auspicious, and the ancestors are blessed!" After finishing speaking, she stepped forward and kowtowed to the two ancestors. .

The old lady looked distressed, and hurriedly said: "Good boy, get up, get up."

After Ruan Linluo kowtowed, she went to greet Li Shi and Chai Shi, and finally trotted straight to the old man and old lady, and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, grandma, Luo'er misses you very much." we're gone."

The old man put down the broken jade cigarette stick in his hand, held her little hand, and said with a big smile: "It's true that the sun is coming out from the west. Child, why is your mother willing to let you out?"

Zhu Yuanlan has a son and a daughter. The eldest son, Ruan Shilin, is seventeen years old and is now a well-known talent in the capital. The second daughter, Ruan Linluo, is fourteen years old. , being loved and protected by her father and mother as if they were the apple of their eye.

Ruan Linluo smiled and said: "It's not easy for my grandson to come out, thanks to my elder cousin who swore an oath in front of my mother, I coaxed my mother to go."

After she finished speaking, she ran to the old lady again, and the old lady held her in her arms, screaming non-stop, and almost shed tears.

Ruan Linluo raised her pretty face, put her arms around the old lady's neck, and said coquettishly: "Grandma is not allowed to cry, Luo'er can't bear it."

The old lady was so coaxed by her, she couldn't hold back her tears, "When I saw you the year before last, you hadn't grown so tall yet. Look, you've grown so big now..." After finishing speaking, it was Sighing, he only hugged her closer in his arms, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch her away.

Mr. Zhu immediately looked at Zhu Jintang standing aside, waved his hand and said, "You are also naughty. I didn't say it earlier in the letter."

Zhu Jintang smiled slightly, nodded in response and said, "The grandson should be punished."

The old man was overjoyed at this moment, how could he really be punished, it was just a few jokes. "How is everything with your aunt?"

Zhu Jintang nodded meaningfully and said: "Everything is fine in Duke Jing's house, and everything is fine with my uncle and aunt."

With his word "good", the old man felt relieved, and immediately ordered: "As long as everything is well. Tell the kitchen to prepare well tonight, and clean up the dust for you two."

Li Shi hurriedly got up and responded, then looked at Shen Yuechen and said, "Turn around and ask Mama Wu in your yard to make some pastries and snacks, that child Luo'er likes sweets the most."

Li Shi had eaten a few snacks made by Wu Ma before, and they were very good, so she wanted her to help.

Hearing the words, Shen Yuechen hurriedly smiled and nodded in response.

The old lady then pointed at Shen Yuechen, and asked Ruan Linluo, "Have you met your new sister-in-law?"

Ruan Linluo raised her head from the old lady's arms, thinking that just now she was talking and laughing all the way, but she hadn't formally greeted Shen Yuechen, so she got up and saluted again, saying: "Just now, my sister was careless and didn't give a formal greeting to my sister-in-law. Please be safe, and I hope my sister-in-law will not be surprised."

Shen Yuechen hurriedly stretched out his hand to help her up, and said softly: "My good sister, you can't do this, we are all family members, so there is no need to be so formal. Besides, my sister has been exhausted all the way, so she can't be tired anymore."

Ruan Linluo pursed her lips and smiled, "Where am I tired? I walked all the way, played all the way, not to mention how happy I am." After she finished speaking, she deliberately glanced at Zhu Jintang, covered her mouth and joked: "It's just bitterness. Brother Jintang, who was exposed to the wind and the sun, suffered all the way."

She is usually at home under the tight control of her parents and mothers, and she rarely goes outside the door, so she rarely has the opportunity to go out for a walk, so she is naturally more cheerful than usual, causing Zhu Jintang a lot of trouble.

The old lady was amused by her, and said: "You are right to order him. Whoever made him your brother deserves to be ordered by you for a lifetime."

Ruan Linluo rolled her black eyes, shook her head and said, "No, no, no, no, no, my sister-in-law will feel sorry for my brother. I finally got a sister-in-law who looks like a real sister, so I have to curry favor."

When Shen Yuechen heard the words, his face blushed immediately, and he gave her a nasty look.

Ruan Linluo turned her head slightly, her eyes turned slightly, and she saw that Shen Yuechen's face was like a spring peach, her eyes were like autumn water, she lowered her head shyly, looking very charming, she couldn't help but took her arm, and said with a smile: "Look, sister-in-law is blushing." .”

The old lady waved her hand and motioned her to come to her: "Stop messing with your sister-in-law, she has a thin skin and can't help being ashamed."

Mrs. Chai, who was beside her, also smiled and said, "This little glass-hearted girl, I don't know where she learned such delicate naughtiness, she is very naughty."

The old man looked at his granddaughter with a happy face, took a puff of the pipe happily, and said: "The child who can play is smart. She is usually controlled by her mother, so it is rare to come here to relax. Don't worry about her." , she can do whatever she likes? Let her have fun and have fun."

Among Mr. Zhu's twelve daughters, Ruan Linluo's mother, Zhu Yuanlan, was the most valued and loved by the whole family.

Zhu Yuanlan was the old lady's first child, moreover, it was a premature baby who almost died when he was born.Fortunately, her life was not to die, and she has always been loved and pampered by her parents like a darling.After growing up, not only did she appear slim and graceful, but she was also fortunate enough to marry into Duke Jing's mansion.

Ruan Xiping, Zhu Yuanlan's husband, although he was just a bastard who could not inherit the title, had followed his father to guard the Northwest for many years. He made great military exploits and was highly valued by the court.Zhu Yuanniang married far away from the capital, so she couldn't come back often, but she cared deeply about the old and young in her natal family, so she prepared extremely rich and thoughtful gifts for every year and festival.

The old lady has always been thinking about her eldest daughter. Every time before the New Year's Day, she counts her fingers, hoping every day that she will send a letter from the capital, saying that she will come back this year, and then the whole family will be reunited and have a peaceful and happy life. section.

It's a pity that the married daughter belongs to someone else's family.As a married woman, filial piety to her in-laws is the right way. Even if she wants to return to her mother's year, she can't find the time.

During the Lantern Festival the year before last, it was rare for Zhu Yuanlan to come back with her son and daughter, but the joy of the family was spoiled, but the joy returned to joy, and she could only stay for three or five days, and then hurried back to the capital.Undoubtedly, Ruan Linluo's sudden arrival this time made Mr. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu feel very happy, even more happy than a holiday.

The old lady first asked how she and her mother have been doing for more than a year, and then she sighed a few words, held her granddaughter's hand tightly, and said lovingly, "You don't want to come here either." Others crowded in the yard, and slept with me at night, and grandma slept with her arms around you."

Ruan Linluo smiled sweetly, nestled in her arms and nodded.

Ruan Linluo was placed directly in the Xici Room in the Nuan Pavilion where the old lady lived. The two women and four servant girls who accompanied her also settled down together. They had everything they needed for food and clothing, which saved a lot of trouble.
