Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 56 Difficulties (5)

That day, Shen Yuechen read the letter from his grandmother, so he burned the letter paper on the spot, so as not to leave any clues and be discovered in the future.

Although the Shen family used to treat her coldly and harshly, but it is different now, they are a community of interests, they are people on the same boat, so they will naturally become very close.

Although Shen Yuechen didn't know what method the Shen family used to buy Mr. Hu, but thinking of Mr. Hu's always full of style, he is also a person who likes wealth and luxury. As long as he is willing to put his mind to it, it should not be difficult to find him. His weakness.

Old Mrs. Shen told Wu Ma before to let her wait on Shen Yuechen to take medicine every day, and she was not allowed to miss a single meal. If the medicine was finished, she would arrange for someone to bring it over according to the dosage and day.

The big rock hanging from her heart can fall safely for the time being. Shen Yuechen really lived a few days of comfort, and, according to the pre-arranged days, Zhu Jintang also rested with his aunts for the past few nights, which made her feel even more A lot more relaxed.

Every night after An came back, she didn't have to wait on Zhu Jintang to wash up and go to bed, she just kept the lamps and candles in the room bright.Then, he sat alone on the armchair made of huanghuali wood, reading a book quietly.What's more, if you look at it often, you will see it in the middle of the night, and occasionally you have to come over to dissuade Mama Wu.

When Zhu Jintang is not staying here overnight, she will let Chunming and Cuixin Chun'e take turns to watch the night, and let Mingyue Mingxin and the others go down to rest.

Although Mingyue and Mingxin were able to do things well, they were too active in their minds, and their eyes were always turning around her body, as if they were staring at someone in the dark, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

That night, the sky was a bit muggy, and it looked like it was going to rain.

After Shen Yuechen washed and washed, she wanted to read a book as usual. She was wearing a thin gauze dress, her hair was loosely tied into a bun, and a few strands of hair were hanging from her ears. It's quiet now.

Mingyue failed to take the night watch job for five days in a row, and was secretly anxious, so she specially brought a bowl of watermelon ice bowl in, brought it to Shen Yuechen, and said earnestly: "Young Mistress, you are bored at night, you can eat an ice bowl Cool off the heat."

Hearing the sound, Shen Yuechen raised his head, glanced at the bright red watermelon, and said with a faint smile, "Let's put it aside for now, I'll eat it later."

Unexpectedly, Chunming at the side spoke quickly, and interjected: "Sister Mingyue, our young mistress doesn't like watermelon, but red dates."

Her seemingly unintentional words made Mingyue's expression sad, and she smiled a little embarrassedly: "Slaves are stupid."

Shen Yuechen smiled slightly: "It's okay, you can go down and rest first."

When Mingyue heard this, she knew that her errand had not been handled in her heart, so she had no choice but to step down as she said.

Chunming secretly glanced at her dejected face, with a mocking smile on the corner of her mouth, but when she turned her head, she saw Shen Yuechen looking at her seriously, she was startled, and hurriedly asked: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Yuechen put the open book on the table, and murmured slightly: "Chunming, I always thought you were a smart girl, calm and quiet. But just now, you talk too much, you know? Now, even though midsummer is already However, the summer heat has not completely subsided, Mingyue sent up ice bowls, it is also timely, why do you have to remind her so much, and make her feel embarrassed."

Chunming hurriedly knelt down, lowered her head and admitted her mistake: "Your servant knows your mistake, you should not talk too much... However, your servant is also thinking of the young lady, Wu Ma said that watermelon is a cold thing, it is not easy to eat too much... The servants are also worried about the young lady's body."

Shen Yuechen raised his eyebrows: "If you really think about me, you should not say anything, and after Mingyue recedes, just quietly throw away this bowl of ice, there is no need for extra trouble."

After Chun Ming heard it, her face straightened, she knew that she was really talkative and said something wrong, so she hurriedly kowtowed respectfully to Shen Yuechen: "Miss, the lesson is that the servant knows the mistake, and the servant will be cautious in his words in the future." OK, stop talking."

Shen Yuechen's expression eased when he heard the words, and a faint smile reappeared on his face, "Just remember it, get up, and help me eat this ice bowl, so as not to throw it away."

Chunming smiled slightly when she heard the words, got up quickly and thanked her, picked up the ice bowl on the table, went to the side to eat slowly, and when she saw Cuixin looking over eagerly, she waved to her and quietly gave her a hand. She fed a few mouthfuls.

Seeing the two of them giggling in satisfaction, Shen Yuechen slowly withdrew her mind and started to read the book again.

Tonight, Zhu Jintang was going to rest at Sun's place as usual, and Sun Wenpei hadn't served him for a few days, so he couldn't help but feel a little excited, so he specially took a bath and prepared properly, just waiting for Zhu Jintang to come from the study.

However, she waited and waited until Haishi, but she still didn't see Zhu Jintang's figure. She couldn't help but feel extremely anxious, and wanted to send someone to the study to ask, but she was worried that Zhu Jintang thought she was troublesome, so she had to be patient and continue to wait. .

Seeing that the third watch was about to arrive, Sun Wenpei was extremely sleepy, and felt that Zhu Jintang might not come over tonight, so he lay down on the bed disheartened, called the maid who kept watch at night, and softly ordered: "Send someone to go over quietly. Let's see, is the uncle resting in the study tonight?"

The servant girl responded and hurriedly left the room.After a while, he ran back in a hurry, panting, "I went over to see in person, the uncle didn't rest in the study tonight..."

Sun Wenpei suddenly sat up from the bed in a jerk, with a puzzled expression on her pretty face, and asked again: "The uncle is not in the study, so where did he go? Where did he go to rest?"

Who stole him?She had to figure it out.

The maid looked puzzled: "I don't know, when I left, there was no one in the study."

Sun Wenpei lay down on the bed angrily again, clutching the quilt tightly with both hands, covering her head, as if she was sullen with herself, and there was no movement for a long time.

Shen Yuechen had only read less than a third of the book in Shen Yuechen's hand when the light in the room suddenly dimmed.

When she looked up, she saw that the candles on the table had burned to the end, and the flames were small and dying.

"It's time to change the candles for the spring tea." Shen Yuechen called softly, but no one answered for a long time, so she knew that Chunming would not be here, so she got up and found a new candle from the cabinet to light it, and then steadily stand on a candlestick.

Suddenly, when she heard the door opening behind her, she thought it was Chun Ming who had returned, and was about to turn around to call her, but was taken aback by Zhu Jintang's sudden appearance. "Master... why are you here?" At this time..., it's time for him to rest.

When Zhu Jintang came back from the study, he saw that the light was still on in her room from a distance, and he felt suspicious, so he wanted to come and have a look.

Why hasn't she fallen asleep yet?Could it be that you are waiting for yourself?
Chun Ming was not here at this meeting, and naturally there was no one outside to send a message, so Shen Yuechen was really frightened by him, but she calmed down quickly, and said with concern: "Did you just come back from the study?"

Zhu Jintang gave a "hmm" and saw that she was wearing light pajamas but hadn't gone to bed, so he asked aloud, "Why don't you go to bed?"

Shen Yuechen smiled: "The concubine is reading a book."

Hearing this, Zhu Jintang immediately became interested, his eyes fell on a pile of thick books on the table, Xinting walked over at a leisurely pace, and asked indifferently: "What good books are you reading? How can you be so hardworking? Don't sleep all day."

Shen Yuechen followed behind, and softly replied: "I am reading medical books."

Zhu Jintang picked up a book and looked at it, it was indeed a medical book. "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", "Huang Di Nei Jing Su Wen", "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases", "Synopsis of the Golden Chamber", as well as "Qian Jin Fang" and "Compendium of Materia Medica".

Zhu Jintang frowned slightly: "For no reason, why are you reading medical books? Are you feeling unwell?" Medical books are the most complicated and difficult to read, and few people are usually willing to read them.

Shen Yuechen shook his head with a smile and said: "Master, don't worry, everything is fine for this concubine, Mr. Hu has already examined this concubine carefully before. I look through this concubine occasionally, just to pass the time."

As the saying goes, disease comes from the mouth and disaster comes from the mouth.Naturally, she had other thoughts in her mind, but she couldn't explain it to Zhu Jintang in detail.

Kill time?Hearing this, Zhu Jintang looked at her delicate face, and couldn't figure out what kind of woman she was.

Ordinary women and Taoists usually like to be a female celebrity and gossip about family affairs, but perhaps because she has read books, she always likes to do something different from others.

Zhu Jintang's eyes flashed slightly, he thought for a while and said, "It's getting late, let's rest early."

Hearing the words, Shen Yuechen subconsciously replied yes, and then seemed to think of something, and said: "If you count the days, the uncle will rest at Aunt Sun's place tonight..."

Zhu Jintang had already walked to the bedside, but when he heard her say this, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, turned to look at her, and suddenly said sharply: "Are you driving me away?"

Shen Yuechen looked a little panicked, quickly shook his head, bowed his knees and said: "I don't dare, I just worry that Aunt Sun will wait for the uncle to pass, and I will be restless all night."

Zhu Jintang looked thoughtfully at her face a few times, and said in a deep voice, "I'm a little tired, so I won't be going tonight."

Naturally, Shen Yuechen didn't dare to say any more, and hurriedly stepped forward to wait for him to undress and lie down. Then, she went back to the table to pick up the half-read medical book, and read it carefully.

Zhu Jintang lay silent on the bed for a moment, but he still couldn't hold his breath. He lifted the quilt, sat up straight and said, "Are you still asleep?"

Shen Yuechen held the hand of the book, clenched it slightly, secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "I'm not sleepy yet, I want to read a few more pages."

When Zhu Jintang heard this, the expression on his face was unspeakably ugly, and he couldn't help raising his voice to remind her: "When I'm sleeping, I don't like the room being too bright, so quickly turn off the light and lie down."

I usually look very smart, but why don't I have eyesight?He came to see her on purpose, but she acted so casually, as if she didn't want him to stay tonight at all.
