Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 96 Lively (2)

Seeing Zhu Jintang's tired face, the old lady waved her hands lightly and said, "Go back and have a rest first, and come back after dinner. Our family is very lively."

Afterwards, Zhu Jintang and Shen Yuechen returned to the west courtyard together. The two of them were silent all the way, and it was not until they returned to the bedroom that Zhu Jintang spoke to her for the first time.

"Prepare hot water for me, I will take a bath later." Zhu Jintang ordered lightly.

Shen Yuechen nodded, she was already prepared to order her servants to prepare hot water at any time in case of emergency.After that, she Yingying stepped forward, with a pair of white hands, she took off the outer robe for Zhu Jintang lightly and skillfully, with the same care and gentleness as usual.

After not seeing her for a long time, Zhu Jintang's dark eyes stared at her face for a long time, and after a while, he asked softly, "How is home?"

Seeing that his question was simple, she also answered lightly: "Well, thanks to the uncle, everything is fine at home, nothing serious."

If there are no big things, then there are small things.Zhu Jintang obviously knew it well, and didn't ask any more questions. The thing he wants to do most right now is to take a bath and then have a good sleep.

Water was soon prepared in the clean room, and Shen Yuechen followed Zhu Jintang, preparing to bathe and groom him himself.After all, they are already husband and wife, and it's not the first time she served him like this.

Inside the room, it was steaming and misty.

Zhu Jintang sat in a wooden bucket filled with hot water and closed his eyes to rest his mind. His tired body and stiff bones gradually became relaxed under the comfort of the hot water.

Shen Yuechen gently wiped his muscular arms with a towel, pondered for a moment, and then said: "I haven't seen you for a few days, the uncle has lost some weight."

Zhu Jintang closed his eyes, resting his head on the edge of the bathtub, and said calmly, "You too."

From the first time he saw her, he noticed that she had lost weight, and even her chin had become sharper.She used to look thin and pretty, but now, with a slender body, she looks even more lovely.

Shen Yuechen was slightly startled when he heard the words, lowered his head, and then got up and said, "I was confused just now, and forgot to congratulate the uncle. Aunt Sun is already three months pregnant."

Zhu Jintang straightened up abruptly, turned his head in surprise, and said, "Really?"

Shen Yuechen tried her best to make the smile on her face generous and decent, and said: "Yes, Aunt Sun is very lucky. The doctor said that her fetal gas is stable, and she will be able to add a new baby to the Zhu family in a few months."

Zhu Jintang was in a good mood, and with a satisfied "hmm", he rested his pillow on the edge of the tub again, and exhaled with a half-sigh.The eldest son has few heirs, and the arrival of any child is a happy event for him.

"Aunt Sun has been looking forward to the uncle's return. Should I send someone to invite her to talk to the uncle?"

Zhu Jintang closed his eyes again, and said, "There's no need to worry about it. She is pregnant now, so she can take care of her baby with peace of mind. It's never too late to see you sooner or later."

This time, he was very tired and didn't want to see anyone.

Seeing that his attitude was neither cold nor indifferent, Shen Yuechen stopped talking, and just silently wiped his body and back.

Back in the main room, the exhausted Zhu Jintang leaned on the bed and took a nap. As soon as his head touched the pillow, he felt like he wanted to fall asleep immediately with his head covered. However, he couldn't sleep well now because there was a family banquet at night.

Chun Ming, who had been waiting quietly in the room, was busy making tea, and brought some pastries one by one.Outside, Cui Xin and Ying Chun were packing their luggage together, and they were carefully folding the robes and gowns one by one.

Shen Yuechen saw that the two of them had quick hands and feet, and they put together the clothes, shoes and socks in those boxes neatly in a short while, and couldn't help but praise them a few times.

When Cui Xin and Ying Chun heard the words, their faces were filled with joy.

Everyone can see that because the uncle is back, the young lady's mood has also improved a lot.

The clothes, shoes and socks were handed over to the servant girl to take care of, while Shen Yuechen herself had to carefully put away those slightly more expensive things one by one.For example, jade fingers, paper fans, fan pendants, jade pendants, jade plaques, etc. Those trivial and precious things may fall or be lost if you don’t pay attention, which is a pity for nothing.Fortunately, she has a good memory, and she remembers everything that Zhu Jintang brought when preparing the luggage for Zhu Jintang earlier.

Shen Yuechen cleaned up for more than half an hour before taking time out to go back inside and take a rest.

Zhu Jintang was half lying on the bed, motionless, as if he was asleep.

Shen Yuechen thoughtfully walked to the side of the bed, and noticed the slight movement between his brows, and knew that he was not asleep yet. "Master, would you like a bowl of shredded chicken porridge? My concubine specially asked someone to cook it for you, and it has been kept warm on the stove."

Hearing this, Zhu Jintang opened his eyes and looked at her, lay lazily on the bed, and said yes lightly.

Shen Yuechen bent her lips and smiled slightly, got up and ordered Chunming to bring the porridge, but she heard the little maid outside the door come in and say: "Grandma, Aunt Sun is here to greet grandpa and grandma."

Hearing this, Shen Yuechen smiled lightly and said, "Quickly invite her in."

Sun Wenpei was wearing a smoky butterfly skirt, light and floating, lightly draping the arm of the servant girl Yun'er, and walked in slowly step by step, with a smile like a spring breeze blowing on her face, a pair of bright eyes like water, wandering in the eyes, revealing a little Delicate, but also somewhat proud.

Sun Wenpei was originally an outstanding beauty, but now she is pregnant, her figure is getting plump, her face is like a full moon, and her face and body are shrouded in a faint soft light, even a woman can't help but feel heartbroken when she sees her pity.

Looking at Zhu Jintang who was lying on the bed, Sun Wenpei's face was filled with joy, and he suppressed the excitement in his heart, Fu Yifu turned his body and said: "My servant and concubine greet the uncle and grandma."

Shen Yuechen didn't dare to neglect the beauty, and with a smile told Cui Xin to go over and help her up.

Zhu Jintang propped himself up against the pillow, looked at her face, then at her slightly showing belly, smiled slightly, and said, "Sit down."

Shen Yuechen and Sun Wenpei greeted each other, and sat down in priority. Shen Yuechen sat next to the bed, while Sun Wenpei sat on a chair with rabbit fur cushions brought by the maids. He raised his head slightly, watching with anticipation. Zhu Jintang seemed to be waiting for him to say something to him.

When Chunming brought the shredded chicken porridge, Shen Yuechen ordered her to bring a few more delicious snacks, and by the way, picked the best and largest grapes from the backyard.

The spring tea nodded in response one by one, and then served some delicate snacks on small gold-plated plates, and a few bunches of fresh and juicy grapes in a carved hollow box were also delivered.

Seeing this, Sun Wenpei deliberately said: "Grandma is really thoughtful. The concubine just wants to eat something sour and sweet."

Shen Yuechen nodded kindly: "I often hear people say that sour is hot. It's a good thing that my sister likes sour. Later, I will ask the maids to pick a few more skewers and send them to your room."

Hearing this, Sun Wenpei couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing: "By virtue of grandma's auspicious words, I'm afraid that maidservants and concubines may not have such a good fortune..." After finishing speaking, she gave Zhu Jintang a meaningful look, and said shyly : "Fortunately, uncle, you are finally back. With you by my side, I can finally feel at ease."

Zhu Jintang raised his eyebrows and asked, "What happened recently that made you feel uneasy?"

Hearing this, Sun Wenpei hurriedly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, glanced at Shen Yuechen a little uneasy, put on an expression as if she knew what she said was wrong, and said: "No...it's okay, everything is fine, sir. Grandma takes care of everything in the yard."

Shen Yuechen's indifferent eyes flickered slightly, quietly watching Sun Wenpei's slightly contrived expression, his brows furrowed invisibly, and suddenly relaxed. "How can there be so many things in a yard as big as a palm? But they are all trivial things, disturbing people's cleanliness." After speaking, she took out a handkerchief herself, pulled a grape from the plate and wiped it carefully. Afterwards, he handed it to Zhu Jintang's mouth, and said with a smile, "Master, please taste it and see how the grape tastes?"

Zhu Jintang was slightly taken aback, she was mature in normal times, it was rare for her to show such an intimate behavior today, she simply kept silent and ate the grapes she fed, but ended up with a mouthful of sour juice, so sour that he couldn't help frowning.

The grapes looked fresh and juicy, but in fact they were not fully ripe and had a rather sour taste.

Seeing this, Shen Yuechen also took a sip, shook her head slightly, and said, "The grapes grown at home are indeed more sour." After she finished speaking, she looked up at Sun Wenpei and smiled: "Fortunately, my sister likes sour, so naturally I want more grapes." Just eat something."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chunming put the carved box in front of Sun Wenpei with sharp eyes and hands.

Sun Wenpei immediately tore off one and tasted it, frowning with the same sourness.Such a sour thing, eating too much will make you lose your teeth.But, in front of Zhu Jintang, she had to eat a few more.

Shen Yuechen lowered his head to drink tea, rinsed his mouth, and when he was about to get up and leave with an excuse, he saw Mother Liu who was in the room coming, and said: "Grandma, the old lady invites you to go to the room."

Shen Yuechen stood up and asked, "What happened?"

Nanny Liu said with a smile: "Miss Lin Luo just arrived at the mansion today, the old lady said that her legs and feet are inconvenient, and she wants Grandma to take her around in person, so that she can get familiar with the familiar place."

Shen Yuechen also smiled and said: "I see, please ask the mother to call the old lady for me, and say that I will be there soon."

Grandma Liu agreed with a smile, and Cuixin immediately lifted the curtain and sent her out respectfully.

After hearing this, Sun Wenpei lowered her head and pursed her lips and smiled, thinking that she finally had a chance to be alone with Zhu Jintang.

Sure enough, Shen Yuechen turned around, took a soft pillow himself, put it on Zhu Jintang's back, and said with a smile: "Master, lie down first, and I will go to accompany Sister Lin Luo, and come back to serve you before dinner." After finishing speaking, She glanced at Sun Wenpei again, "Please trouble my sister to look after the uncle for me."

Sun Wenpei took advantage of the situation and nodded repeatedly, and immediately showed a joyful expression.

The corner of Zhu Jintang's mouth curled slightly, and he reached out to pat Shen Yuechen's head. "That girl Lin Luo is the most mischievous, don't let her tire you out."

Shen Yuechen blinked at him with a smile, "I see."

The slight intimacy between the two was clearly seen by Sun Wenpei, and he felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

Shen Yuechen took the spring tea out of the house, and before leaving, he did not forget to explain to Yingchun and Cuixin, and kept an eye on the movement in the house, including what Aunt Sun and the uncle said.
