Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 69 Drunkenness
Seeing that she was really drunk, Zhu Jintang stopped pouring the wine.

Shen Yuechen blinked, seeing that he no longer poured wine for herself, she frowned slightly, and asked softly, "Why doesn't the uncle give me wine?"

Zhu Jintang looked at her with a smile in his eyes: "Because you are drunk."

Shen Yuechen's tender red lips drooped, as if unwilling to say: "Master is so stingy."

When Zhu Jintang heard the words, he knew that she was really drunk. If she had been in normal times, with her meek and cautious temperament, she would definitely not have said such bold words.

With the help of his gallbladder, Shen Yuechen not only complained that he was stingy, but also stretched out his small hand to take the jug, and filled the wine glass by himself.

Zhu Jintang's eyes flashed, he looked at Shen Yuechen, then at the wine glass that was overflowing, and covered the mouth of the glass with his palm, "Don't drink it. If you drink too much, you will have a headache tomorrow morning."

The feeling of hangover is not good, and her body is thin, so it will be much more difficult.

Where is Shen Yuechen willing to obey? She usually looks docile, but in fact she is very stubborn. Now she is drunk again, and her words and deeds become bolder. After drinking it, she raised the bottom of the cup to show him, with a lazy and smug smile on her lips.

Zhu Jintang's eyes were slightly hot, and he didn't want to let her continue to make trouble, so he directly pulled her up from the seat.

Shen Yuechen stood up staggeringly, his mind was muddled, his mouth was full of the smell of wine, he slowly stretched out a finger, tapped on the tip of Zhu Jintang's nose, and begged in a soft voice: "One more drink, last A glass."

Zhu Jintang supported her shoulder with one hand and protected her waist with the other, and said, "Don't make trouble, stand still."

Shen Yuechen's alcohol was strong at this time, and because of the effect of the alcohol, his mind was blurred, and he lost his usual calmness and restraint.In a daze, she only leaned all her body weight on Zhu Jintang's body.

He was a head taller than her, standing there upright, like a big tree with warmth, he simply, without thinking, stretched out his arms to wrap around it.

She lowered her head, pressed her cheek against his chest, listened to the pounding heartbeat inside, and murmured to herself, "One time, two times, three times..."

This sudden action caused Zhu Jintang a strange excitement that he had never experienced before, like a small stone falling into the water with a "boom", causing a circle of ripples, and then disappearing.It came suddenly and went quickly.

"What are you counting?" Zhu Jintang's low voice rang in his ear.

Shen Yuechen looked up at him, smiled slightly, and said with a smile, "Heartbeat, your heartbeat."

A complex expression flashed across Zhu Jintang's rigid face, and a warm color gradually emerged from his originally deep eyes.

Shen Yuechen stared blankly at the handsome face in front of her eyes, only saw a certain emotion in his eyes flashed like a star, but she didn't know what it was and what she was doing, she didn't have the energy to find out, With a low eyebrow and a slight smile, he said, "Don't move, let me listen again." After speaking, the whole person leaned over again, just listening quietly, but stopped making any noise.

Zhu Jintang protected her steadily, and was speechless for a while, but the hand that had been around her slender waist became tighter and more gentle.

Unexpectedly, just a few glasses of wine made her a completely different person... Maybe, she was originally like this, but she was never like this to others, never to him.No matter how sensible and sensible she is, once she takes off that layer of pretentious cloak, she is only a teenage child, petite and fragile.

Zhu Jintang fell into deep thought for a while, and his usually well-organized head also rarely felt a little messy and heavy.

Shen Yuechen leaned against him with her eyes closed, and gradually became a little tired. She just wanted to sleep, and her legs couldn't stand anymore.

Zhu Jintang hurriedly picked her up, put her on the bed and lay down, then called Chunming outside the door, and ordered: "Brew a cup of sober tea for grandma, she is drunk."

Chunming was startled when she heard the words, she looked up at Shen Yuechen who was lying on the bed with a blushing complexion, and trotted over to serve her.

Zhu Jintang was going to wash up in the clean room, and Mingyue followed in. She had been waiting outside for a long time, and she was in a hurry.

Because Zhu Jintang was thinking about the drunken Shen Yuechen, he just wanted to wash his face to sober up, seeing Mingyue busy pouring water into the bathtub, he said hurriedly: "There is no need to prepare water, I just wash my face."

When Mingyue heard the words, she answered yes, and came over with a wooden basin, and said, "Your servant, let me help you wash your feet. You have been busy all day, and it's time to relieve your fatigue."

Zhu Jintang's eyes kept looking outside the door, and his tone urged: "Then you move faster."

Mingyue didn't know what he was in a hurry for, so she hurriedly waited for him to clean it up, and prepared for the whole afternoon, but she didn't have a chance to say a word.

Zhu Jintang strode back to the inner room, and saw that Chun Ming was preparing to feed tea to Shen Yuechen.He walked over, sat down on the edge of the bed, embraced her body, and let her sit down.

Shen Yuechen struggled a little, but finally obediently did not move.

Chun Ming hurriedly scooped up a spoonful of warm tea with a spoon, and slowly drank it for her.

Shen Yuechen frowned slightly all the time, after taking two or three sips, he turned his head and buried his face in Zhu Jintang's arms.

Chunming was in trouble holding a spoon, looked at Shen Yuechen, then at Zhu Jintang, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Zhu Jintang sighed helplessly, hugged Shen Yuechen to his chest, patted her on the back, didn't say anything more, just waved his hand, signaling Chunming to go out.

Chun Ming didn't want to disturb the young lady's cleanliness, so she hurriedly withdrew the tea bowl and went out, only to see Mingyue standing at the door looking into the room with a slightly anxious expression on her face.

Chun Ming didn't like her, so she said coldly, "The masters are all asleep, so you should do whatever you want."

Mingyue glared at her: "Uncle hasn't been to the study yet, I want to stay here and wait, you don't need to worry about it."

Chun Ming snorted softly, "They said they've fallen asleep, so what are you doing here? Is it possible that you still want to stay and listen to the masters?"

Mingyue's face was ashamed when she heard the words, and she was about to say the word "you" when she was robbed by Chunming again: "Forget it, I don't have time to argue with you, and I don't have the courage to fight with you. If you become deaf and dazzled, it would be easier to hit your head to death. We are all slaves, so you should restrain yourself."

Chunming left angrily, Mingyue stood still, her face turned pale with anger, she simply guarded the door like a pique, not believing that the uncle would really not come out.She has been with the uncle for many years, regardless of whether it is a holiday, or a wedding or a wedding, she has never seen the uncle, and one day she will just rest without reading the big ledger.

She stood alone in the yard, waiting for more than an hour, but she felt as if she had waited overnight.

It was already the second watch when there was movement in the house.

Zhu Jintang came out wearing a long coat, and seeing her standing outside the door, he was slightly surprised: "You are the one keeping watch today?" He hadn't slept just now, watching Shen Yuechen quietly, seeing her clinging to him to sleep like a cat She didn't move, she didn't think about going to the study until she was fast asleep.

Mingyue didn't explain much, just nodded her head, her legs were numb and sore, she couldn't even bend her knees to say hello, she just said: "I will go and carry the lantern for you."

Zhu Jintang waved his hand and said: "No need, there are lanterns lighting up along the way. You guys stay in the yard, so that you can take care of the young mistress. She is drunk, so she will sleep soundly. Don't be alarmed." , He fastened the clothes on his body, took two steps, and then stopped suddenly.

Mingyue thought he had something to order, so she rushed over.

"How many years have you and Mingxin been in the courtyard?" Zhu Jintang asked lightly.

Mingyue was slightly startled, and replied: "The servant came in two years earlier than Mingxin, and this year is already the fifth year."

Zhu Jintang looked calm, thought for a moment and said: "After you mentioned it, I just remembered that you are not too young, and it is time for you to get married."

When Mingyue heard the words, her whole body trembled immediately, and she knelt on the ground tremblingly, tears were about to burst out. "My lord, my servant... I don't want to get married, I want to serve my uncle for the rest of my life."

Zhu Jintang didn't turn his head back, his eyes sank: "Since you have been here for five years, you should know more about the rules in the house." He left in a hurry after leaving only this sentence.

Mingyue knelt on the ground and followed her in surprise, tears streaming down her cheeks, she didn't care much for a moment, grabbed Zhu Jintang's sleeve, and begged: "My lord, please do me a favor, this servant doesn't want to leave, and this servant is willing." I've been working like a cow and a horse all my life, I just beg my uncle not to drive me away like this... Today it's Mingxin that girl who doesn't know how to measure, and has nothing to do with slaves..."

Zhu Jintang's black eyes fell on his slightly wrinkled cuffs, and he said in a deep voice: "Hurry up and let go, don't wait for me to call someone over, it will embarrass you, you won't even be worthy of a good family when you go out."

Mingyue knew his temper, and knew that if she kept pestering her, not only would she not be able to get any benefits, but it would arouse her even greater anger.I had no choice but to let go of my hand immediately, bit my lips tightly, looked at his retreating back, didn't dare to chase after him any more, just clenched my hands in the sleeves into fists, piercing the palm of my hand with nails hard, only piercing the flesh. Open, blood comes out.

Mingyue never thought that the eldest young master would send her away so easily, kneeling on the ground with tears all over her face, sobbing, and not daring to cry loudly, lest she would provoke others to see her jokes again.

After Mingyue cried, she remained motionless and knelt in the courtyard, waiting for Zhu Jintang to come back.

She couldn't figure out what was wrong with her and what she did wrong to provoke the disgust of the uncle.After thinking about it, she suddenly stopped crying, and anger flashed across her face, it must be her, it must be her... The uncle was obviously fine before, but she was clearly the one who made things worse, and wanted to take advantage of what happened today to bring us all together Send it out, so as not to be an eyesore if you stay around.

The more Ming Xin thought about it, the more she hated it, and she clenched her teeth tightly, unable to swallow this breath no matter what.I'm not Mingxin. You can send me whatever you want, and I won't leave if you want me to. Even if I die, I will die here.Relying on the bad breath in her stomach, she decided to go all out. Even if there was going to be a big scene tonight, she had to explain everything she wanted to say.

Zhu Jintang read the accounts in the study, staring at one page for a long time, neither making a sound nor turning the pages.

Standing by the side, Zhu Rong felt that something was wrong, and asked in a low voice with a slightly flustered expression: "Master, what went wrong?"

Zhu Jintang came back to his senses, and said lightly: "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about whether the account of the Wang family in the west of the city should be added to the end."
