Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 393
At this time, although the capital has come to the summer season, the climate in the capital is still cool and comfortable.

From top to bottom of Zhu's house, lanterns and festoons were decorated everywhere, which was very festive.

A group of maids in red clothes hurried to the front hall at the fastest speed, all holding trays full of gifts in their hands, the hurried footsteps disturbed the quietness that should have been in the morning.

Today is a good day for the Zhu family.

The old man's 86th birthday, the old man and the old man specially brought him from his hometown to the capital for his birthday.

The eldest grandma even took care of it inside and out for nearly a month, in order to buy a decent and beautiful birthday banquet for the old man.

After breakfast, Shen Yuechen frowned slightly as she looked at the menu Chunxi handed over.

Chunxi observed her words and expressions, and hurriedly said: "Miss, this was changed by the restaurant early in the morning, and it was just sent over. If you are not satisfied, I will let them change it."

Shen Yuechen closed the menu, put it gently on the table, and said in a tone of displeasure: "It's not that I'm dissatisfied, but that I can't do it at all. Take it back, let them make it again, and send it to me within an hour .”

Chunxi was taken aback when she heard the words, and said with embarrassment: "Miss, it's already this hour, let's do it again, I'm afraid it's too late."

There are still three hours before the banquet, and the menu has not been set yet, in case of delay, what will be used to entertain the guests?
Shen Yuechen looked at her and said, "Today is a big day for our family. We gave Hehuan Restaurant a deposit of 2000 taels, but they just brought such a menu that can be seen everywhere. How can I be satisfied? Chunxi, you have to understand, we The guests entertained today are either rich or expensive, so we must strive for excellence, and we must not be negligent in the slightest, otherwise it will be a major loss of etiquette. Go and tell Boss He to use his brain more, and don’t be rude once the money arrives. Use your brain, if the food and drinks are not well done today, tomorrow I will personally go over and smash the golden signboard of his century-old shop."

If you don't know how to do business with rich people, isn't it just asking for trouble, waiting for others to smash his signboard.

After Chunxi received the words, she didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly turned and went out.

Shen Yuechen took a sip of tea, sighed and said, "If Mama Wu's health is not good, how can it be the turn of those outsiders to intervene in today's affairs. Sigh!"

If Wu Ma is old and mentally weak, based on her experience, she will definitely be able to come up with an eye-catching menu.

As soon as she finished speaking, a familiar chuckle came from outside: "Why are you sighing, madam?"

Shen Yuechen raised her head, and saw her husband Zhu Jintang walking in leisurely, with a slight smile on his face.

"Master, I really like to be free. Seeing that I am so busy that I hit the back of my head, I don't want to come over to help."

Because it was a festive day, Zhu Jintang specially wore a dark red robe, which made his complexion rosy and looks very good.

"With a good wife like this, I naturally have a reason to sneak around."

She has always made up her own mind about family affairs, and he rarely interferes.Husband and wife have been married for many years, and they have already formed a tacit understanding.

Shen Yuechen glanced at her with a smile, and randomly ordered the little maid to pour tea for the uncle.

However, Zhu Jintang reached out directly, took her cup and drank.

Seeing this, Shen Yuechen laughed again: "The majestic head of the family even steals other people's tea to eat, and he is not afraid that the servants will see your jokes."

Zhu Jintang drank the warm tea in his hand first, then smashed the taste again, and asked, "Why is this tea sweet?"

The little maid next to her couldn't help snickering, seeing the wink from the grandma, she just replied, "Master, this is the flower and fruit tea made by grandma, honey is added in it, so it tastes sweet."

Shen Yuechen also couldn't help laughing, "This is a good thing for nourishing yin and beautifying the skin, you may as well try it, sir."

Zhu Jintang looked at her, stretched out a finger and scratched lightly on the tip of her nose, and said, "I, the head of the family, can make you laugh even with a cup of tea. I really lose my momentum."

"It's right for the uncle to show off outside. However, it's best to talk and laugh at home." Shen Yuechen said while holding his palm, and said: "Zhu Zhu, I told me yesterday that I would The ancestor prepared a generous gift, you can accompany me to have a look, okay?"

Zhu Jintang nodded, opened his palm, held her hand in the warm palm, and said: "Okay, that girl is weird all day long, I want to see it too, what else is she thinking about?"

After the two finished speaking, they stood up side by side and walked side by side.

Three or five serving maids followed behind him step by step, their eyes followed quietly, and the master who walked hand in hand couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart.

The uncle and the grandmother have been married for almost 20 years, but the relationship between the two is as good as a newly married couple, which is really enviable.

In the splendid and continuous garden, a pretty figure in a water pink long dress is walking back and forth lightly.

"Juju."

Shen Yuechen called her.

Zhu Zhu turned her head in response, and when she saw her parents coming, she immediately cuddled up to them.

"Father, mother, why are you here?"

Zhu Jintang looked lovingly at her face that was almost completely similar to Shen Yuechen, and said with a smile: "See what you've been doing these two days? You didn't even eat breakfast with us."

Shen Yuechen was not in a hurry to complain, but just took out a handkerchief to wipe the fine sweat on the tip of her nose, and softly reprimanded: "It's sweaty all over the morning, it doesn't look like a girl at all. How on earth do you What are you busy with and don't show it to us?"

Zhu Zhu smiled childishly, put a finger between his lips, and pretended to be mysterious: "I have prepared a surprise for my ancestors, because it is a secret, I can't tell it now."

Zhu Jintang caressed her cheek lovingly, and reminded: "Happiness is happiness, but don't make too much noise. Your grandpa Zeng is an old man after all, and he can't stand too much joy."

Zhu Zhu tilted his head and rubbed against his shoulder twice, and said coquettishly, "Don't worry, daddy, my daughter is sensible, and my daughter will definitely give Grandpa Zeng the best and greatest gift in the world."

Zhu Jintang looked at her, shook his head and said with a smile: "You girl, every time you speak nicely, you are the one I worry about the most."

"Daddy doesn't know about my daughter's gift at all. My daughter really prepared it carefully this time." She frowned and complained softly.

How could Zhu Jintang be willing to make her feel wronged? He hurriedly held his daughter's limp little hand, and said kindly: "Okay, okay, daddy won't talk anymore, mommy and daddy trust you, you just go ahead and prepare."

Zhu Jintang has two sons and three daughters, and all of them have grown up now. Those who got married got married, those who got married got married, and those who got married got married. Now, only Zhu Zhu, his daughter, is still with him, and there is no other family.

Although there are many people who propose marriage, no matter how good the other party's family background is, Zhu Jintang can't help but look down on any of them, because he really can't bear to part with this precious daughter. He has always regarded her as the apple of his eye. She gives it to someone else.

Zhu Zhu and her mother Shen Yuechen seemed to be carved out of the same mold, with delicate features and gentle temperament, but in fact, they both have a toughness that is soft on the inside and strong on the outside.

Both Zhu Jintang and Shen Yuechen were reluctant to let her get married too early, thinking that it would be better to keep her for two more years.

After another hour, the newly made menu was finally delivered to Shen Yuechen on time.

This time the menu is finally done beautifully.

The same materials, different collocations and methods can also show different grades, so the inappropriate places must be changed.

After reading the menu, Zhu Jintang looked at Shen Yuechen opposite, and said in a tone of emotion, "Madam really put in a lot of effort this time."

Shen Yuechen could naturally hear the meaning in his words, and smiled slightly: "I have lived with my uncle in the capital for more than ten years, and I don't know anything else, but I have learned a lot about the ability to put on a show."

Today is the Zhu family's big day, and it's also the old man's big day. No matter how much money you have, you have to spend it. Greeting the affairs of the scene, that is, greeting all the guests, is also giving face to Zhu's parents.

After a month of careful preparation, Mr. Zhu's birthday banquet finally started grandly.

There was an endless stream of guests and carriages who came to congratulate.But for anyone who has a head and face in the capital, even if the person has not arrived, the gift will be delivered.

Zhu's family can now be regarded as a family with royal relatives.Zhu Qingming is a dignified son-in-law, both civil and military, and is highly valued by the Holy Majesty. I heard that he will be promoted to a nobleman soon.Zhu Qingxuan graduated from high school, and is supported by her eldest brother who is a son-in-law. Naturally, the future is bright.

Seeing the festivities and excitement in the hall, the old Mr. Zhu was in a good mood, and he drank two glasses of wine in a row.

The old lady was celebrating his birthday today, so she didn't stop her, she just asked him to change a jug of light wine for him.

Zhu Qingming brought Princess Anning home to celebrate her birthday, which was undoubtedly the most anticipated thing for everyone, and he did not disappoint everyone. Not only did he return with glory, he also brought back a congratulatory gift from the emperor for the old man.

As for, although Princess Anning did not prepare any ingenious gifts, she brought good news to the Zhu family.That means she is already pregnant, and the imperial physician has just diagnosed her.

An Ning, after getting married, is indeed as her name suggests, and her temperament has gradually changed a lot. Not only is she gentle and considerate to her husband, but she is also respectful and filial to her elders.

When the old man heard the good news, he was so excited that tears almost fell down. He tremblingly grabbed the old lady's hand and said, "Four generations live under the same roof. This is a great blessing."

The old lady's eyes were also red, and she muttered to herself: "This is truly blessed by the Buddha."

Zhu Qingxuan gave the old man a picture of a hundred years of life painted by himself. The old man looked at the joy and immediately ordered someone to hang it in the hall, which was quite showy.

Although both Zhu Ying and Zhu Xiao were married, they still went home with their husbands to congratulate and prepared thoughtful gifts for the old man.

As for Zhu Zhu's surprise, it is natural to save it until the end.

After the banquet, Zhu Zhu personally helped the old man to the garden, and saw that the garden was brightly lit, and the seven-star lanterns that symbolized longevity were hung everywhere.

Each lamp is made by Zhu Zhu himself, and there is also a message of wishing the family a long life and a healthy life. The words are sincere and sincere.

Seeing this, everyone applauded and congratulated, amazed.

In front of the beautiful scenery, Shen Yuechen couldn't help but secretly turned his back and wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, feeling infinitely moved in his heart.

Seeing this, Zhu Jintang patted her shoulder lightly: "It seems that our Zhu Zhu has really grown up."

Shen Yuechen smiled sweetly, nodded and said, "Yes, it's so sensible that it makes people feel distressed."

After finishing speaking, she raised her eyes to look at the bright lights in the garden, closed her eyes slowly, clasped her hands together, and prayed silently: "The bright moon is above, and the bright lights are in front of me. I, Shen Yuechen, am grateful to God for his kindness and love, which made me so lucky in this life." , I, Shen Yuechen, can’t thank you enough, life is long, I only wish that the years will be peaceful, the four seasons will be safe, and my family will be harmonious and everything will be prosperous.”
