Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 64: Insect carving tricks (2)

Mingyue raised her eyebrows suddenly, looked at her and said: "This method is not bad, after all, you still have more evil ideas."

Ming Xin chuckled: "Leave this matter to me, I am the best at making trouble and making trouble."

The two looked at each other and smiled, then turned off the lights and went to sleep, each having a dream about the future.

In the early morning, there was a light rain outside the window, and the breeze was mixed with the aroma of green grass and flowers, which was fragrant and cool.

Shen Yuechen was sleeping soundly, but suddenly felt a chill on her shoulders, shrank her body slightly, and instinctively snuggled into the warm embrace beside her, and chose the most comfortable position to continue sleeping peacefully.

Zhu Jintang saw her sleeping and afraid of the cold, and his black pupils became deeper and deeper.He covered her bare shoulders with great care.

He didn't want to wake her up, he just wanted to enjoy this rare leisure time quietly.She rarely slept so deeply, especially when he was around, she was always like a puppet with strings stretched.

Shen Yuechen fell asleep, if Chunming hadn't come to call her, and rushed to pay her respects, she would have slept until dawn.

Zhu Jintang got up one step earlier than her and was washing in the clean room.

Shen Yuechen dressed and stood up in embarrassment, looked at Chun Ming and said, "You girl, why didn't you call me earlier?"

Chunming replied with a smile: "Master won't let the servants call you, and said he wants you to sleep more..."

Shen Yuechen blushed, pinched her lightly, and said angrily, "You listen to the old man, but you usually have a lot of ideas when you are by my side."

Knowing that she was thin-skinned and shy in her heart, Chun Ming hurriedly smiled and half-coaxed and half-persuaded her to put on her clothes and get up to comb her hair.Although she was a little tired, her body was not as sore as last time.Last night, Zhu Jintang didn't make things difficult for her, on the contrary, he was surprisingly gentle and patient... Thinking of this, Shen Yuechen's cheeks and ear roots became hotter and hotter, and he felt ashamed for himself, thinking about it when he woke up early in the morning.

Chun Ming took out a mahogany comb and combed her hair carefully, then helped her brush her teeth and wash her face, and changed into a brand new long dress with gold silk and white pattern epiphyllum and rain silk, and tied a purse with a magpie and plum blossom around her waist , with white embroidered shoes on her feet.

Shen Yuechen saw that the begonias blooming in the vase in the room were beautiful, so he asked Chunming to pinch one and put it on his head, it just matched his golden begonia and pearl hairpin.As soon as she was dressed, Zhu Jintang came out. Seeing her fresh and pretty appearance, she felt that she was more delicate than Hua, and she looked very comfortable.

The two had breakfast together, and then went out to the main courtyard.It rained lightly all morning, and some water accumulated on the eaves and roads. Mingyue's eyes were sharp and her hands were quick, and she took the first step and raised the oil-paper umbrella to follow behind Zhu Jintang. He lowered his head and pursed his lips.

Chunming held an umbrella for Shen Yuechen, quietly watching Mingyue's actions, feeling secretly unhappy.

Shen Yuechen saw that the rain was not heavy, and the road was full of corridors, so he said, "I won't be able to get wet this time, you should put your umbrella away, so you won't be tired."

Chunming Buyi: "The slaves are not tired, the weather is cold after the rain, it is good to hold an umbrella to keep out the cold wind."

The two arrived late, the old man and the old lady didn't care, and let them sit down after greeting them.

Everyone sat down in an orderly manner, and the maids came over to serve tea, and then quietly retreated to the side to wait.

The old man was still half awake, he didn't speak for a long time, and everyone was only focused on drinking tea, and no one said anything.

After a while, the old lady said calmly: "Since there is nothing to do, everyone should go to their own business."

Everyone got up and answered "Yes".

The curtain in the inner hall moved, and the nurse came in to report in a flustered manner, saying that Brother Ming coughed a few times when he got up early, and asked the doctor to come and have a look.

Mr. Zhu sat up excitedly, and before his wife could say anything, he said, "Naturally, I want to ask the doctor to take a look. I'm confused, can this kind of thing be delayed?"

When everyone heard that Brother Ming was not feeling well, they were not ready to leave.

Shen Yuechen hesitated for a moment, then got up and said: "I want to go in and have a look."

The old lady nodded in agreement.

Master Hu has already returned to Beijing, and the Zhu family has invited Dr. Zhou, who is also a well-known doctor.

After Dr. Zhou's pulse diagnosis, he got up and cupped his hands at Shen Yuechen, saying, "Young master is fine, but he just sucked in some cold wind, so he will be fine if he takes care of him."

Shen Yuechen felt relieved when he heard the words, and immediately asked Chunming to give him a piece of silver as a reward, and then troubled him to go out and reply to the elders, so that they could feel at ease.

Doctor Zhou received the reward, and thankfully withdrew to answer the question.

Shen Yuechen immediately picked up Brother Ming, looked at his round face, weighed it lightly, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, there is no serious problem. I haven't seen you for a few days. Our Brother Ming seems to have weighed a lot. See Shen."

The nurses smiled and said: "Master Ming has a good appetite recently, he eats milk well, and sleeps soundly."

Shen Yuechen patted Brother Ming, saw him smiling at himself with his small face upturned, and said with crooked eyebrows: "Our Brother Ming is really sensible, we don't make noise, we just want to grow up quickly and become a little adult. "

Brother Ming chuckled, attracting the wet nurses to gather around, looking at it again and again, very rare.

Shen Yuechen hugged him for a while, then handed her over to the nanny to take care of her, and when she was done, she did not forget to tell her: "At this moment, the weather is going to be hot and cold, brother Ming can't be cut off from anyone for a moment!"

She then returned to the main hall, and saw that the old man, Zhu Feng and others were not there, only the female relatives were left.

"The men are all busy, the old man didn't wake up and went back to sleep in the cage." Li Shi confessed, and then asked: "Brother Ming, how is it?"

Shen Yuechen nodded: "Okay, the wet nurses will be breastfeeding again later, so the concubine didn't take him out."

The old lady pondered: "In the future, it's better not to carry it out, just wait for a hundred days to talk about it. Daughter-in-law, tell the kitchen later that frying and deep frying are not allowed within this month, and don't spread oily smoke in the yard." son."

Li Shi responded, and then thought about it: "It's just that the dishes are less oily and less fried, so the dishes will inevitably be lighter..."

The old lady slowly turned the Buddha beads in her hand: "It's all about fasting and eating vegetarian, and praying for the child. As long as our brother Ming can grow up safely, let alone a month, even a year and a half, I am willing." After she finished speaking, she felt sad alone, Li Shi didn't want to make her sad, so she hurriedly searched for other topics.

The crowd stayed for a while, and the old lady said she was tired, so they left.Shen Yuechen went out with Li Shi and Chai Shi, and when she returned to the west courtyard, she saw Cuixin standing in the courtyard wiping her tears, and hurriedly said, "Cuixin, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing her coming back, Cui Xin cried even more aggrieved, grinning and crying: "Miss, you are back."

Seeing her crying, Chunming anxiously said: "It's fine, why are you crying? I'm not afraid of letting the little maids see the joke."

Cui Xin bit her lips, choked up and said, "Ms. Mingxin and Sister Chun'e exchanged a few words just now. It wasn't a big deal at first, but after arguing and arguing, the two of them actually started to fight fiercely... Wu Ma and I stepped forward to try to persuade them to fight, but who knows, during the tug-of-war, we accidentally bumped into the square vase of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum on the coffee table, and it was broken..."

Shen Yuechen frowned slightly, and only asked: "Are you guys injured?"

Cui Xin shook her head: "No, it's not hurt..."

Make trouble and fight?This happened strangely. Although Chun'e was not smart, she was not such a stupid person who didn't know the importance.

Shen Yuechen took Chun Ming's hand, walked into the house and said, "Don't cry, come with me into the house. Where's Mama Wu?"

Cui Xin bowed her head and followed: "Mama Wu is packing things in the house, she is afraid that the servants will tie their hands, so she asks the servants to come out to get the broom and dustpan."

Sure enough, when the curtain was lifted, Mama Wu was squatting on the ground, picking up the pieces of porcelain slag on the ground with her hands, and sighed repeatedly.

Shen Yuechen hurriedly said: "Mom, don't pick it up, cut your hands carefully."

Wu Ma stood up: "Miss is back. I'm slow to let you see the mess of this place..."

Shen Yuechen took her hands, checked them carefully, and reprimanded: "Mom is confused, things are valuable, and your skillful hands are more valuable. Since the maids caused the trouble, let them clean it up by themselves, besides, There are still servant girls around, why do you need to reach out yourself."

Wu Ma shook her head: "It's so noisy, it makes people laugh. I told them to go back to the house to calm down. It's not good after all, let the maids outside know, it will inevitably make people gossip..."

Shen Yuechen knew that she was thinking of herself, and wanted to make big things into small things, so she took advantage of Li Nanny's absence to clean up this matter. "Okay, Mama Wu, go to the kitchen and get busy. I'll take care of it here."

Wu Ma nodded in agreement, and only asked Cui Xin to get a broom to clean up the house.

Shen Yuechen looked at the fragments on the ground, and felt sorry, that vase was not an ordinary thing, it had been placed in the new house, and it was broken like this, the uncle must have to ask about it.

Chun Ming said from the side: "Miss, that little hoof of Ming Xin must have made trouble on purpose!"

Shen Yuechen glared at her: "What little hoof? You don't pay attention to your words."

Chunming couldn't help bowing her head: "Your maidservant knows it's wrong, but Mingyue and Mingxin must have a plan on their minds. This morning, it was Chun'e who went to get the umbrella first, but Mingyue pushed it aside abruptly. .”

Shen Yuechen frowned and said: "They were originally maids serving the uncle, so it's not a fault to be diligent. You go and call them both, I have something to ask."

Chunming immediately went out to find someone. Chun'e was crying bitterly on the big kang in the house, covering half of her swollen face, angry and annoyed.

Seeing this, Chunming gritted her teeth angrily, pulled her up from the kang, and said angrily: "Don't cry, let's go to Miss, and let Miss decide for you."

After a while, Chun'e and Ming Xin came over, Ming Yue, Chun Ming, and Cui Xin were also standing in the room.

Shen Yuechen saw Chun'e's face first, and then saw Mingxin's nose was stuffed with cotton, and it was still stained with scarlet, which seemed to be bleeding from the nose.

That's a good thing, one saw blood and the other was disfigured, they were really evenly matched.

Shen Yuechen didn't rush to ask questions, picked up the tea bowl and took two sips slowly.

Chun'e sobbed endlessly, but Mingxin disdained her way of crying and wiping away her tears, she lowered her eyes and said nothing, just straightened her back.

Shen Yuechen drank half a bowl of tea, took a breath and said, "Which of you two will speak first? Why are you arguing and fighting?"

Ming Xin raised her chin slightly and said, "Your maidservant will speak first."
