Zhu Youwen is an adopted son, and his wife Wang has the appearance of sinking fish and falling geese; Zhu Youqi is his own son, his wife Zhang, and he has the appearance of a shy flower in the closed month. Zhu Wen successively occupied the Wang family and the Zhang family, and compared with the two, Zhu Youwen's wife was even more enchanting and charming, which made Zhu Wen fascinated.
