Chapter 574: Cause
When Liu saw Peng Jin's appearance, he asked with a smile: "Look at your appearance, do you know why Brother Ziliang came to apologize to us for Sister-in-law Huang?" ”
Peng Jin didn't want to tell Liu Shi about Huang's thoughts, so as not to affect the intimate relationship between Liu Zhi and Zhang Minghua. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, now that Zhang Minghua has apologized to Liu Shi for this matter, there is no need for her to go to the Huang family to cover it up.
"But because Sister-in-law Huang has been following you because Mr. Zhang has been following you to repay your kindness, so she missed many opportunities for promotion, and she complained?" Peng Jin asked with a low sigh.
Other than that, she doesn't do what he thinks.
After all, the Huang family did not express their dissatisfaction with them because of other things.
"So you could have seen it a long time ago." Liu Zhi smiled and sighed, "But I haven't noticed it." If it weren't for today's sister-in-law Huang, who accidentally slipped out with Brother Ziliang because she was happy, and Brother Ziliang came to apologize to me for this, I don't know how long I would be confused! ”
In the front hall, Zhang Minghua told him with a guilty face that after the appointment, the Huang family was very happy, and said casually: "You finally don't have to be Ning Anbo's entourage anymore, this time it can be regarded as raising your eyebrows." It's not in vain that you have assisted him before and after the saddle all these years! ”
The words of slight ridicule and complaining made the smart Zhang Minghua keenly aware of the problems.
What do you mean by that? Could it be that I feel that Ning Anbo has delayed my future? The smile on Zhang Minghua's face paused slightly, and he asked.
Probably very happy to learn the news that Zhang Minghua was promoted, and happy that Zhang Ju was able to enter the national prison and have a good future, Huang didn't notice the slight reproach in Zhang Minghua's tone for a while, and replied casually:
"Although you are here to repay your kindness, they do have been gracious to you, but this repayment has been a little longer. Fortunately, although there were some detours before, now it is finally rewarded!
I have heard that most of the scholars and attendants of the Hanlin and the front of the palace are served by the close ministers of the Son of Heaven, and the Holy Majesty has promoted you so much, it can be seen that he likes you very much, and you will definitely have a worry-free future in the future!
Brother Ju'er is now also ordered to study in the country's sub-prison, and with his temperament and talent, he will definitely have a bright future in the future, and he will be able to make great achievements and shine on the lintel......"
Huang kept talking happily because of joy, not noticing that the smile on Zhang Minghua's face had gradually faded, and his face gradually became gloomy.
After many years of husband and wife, Zhang Minghua knows the Huang family very well, but when he hears the Huang family speak like this now, he knows that he has been resentful of Liu Shi's family for a long time in his heart, and he has a deep suspicion.
Thinking of the fact that Liu Shi's family rarely visits the door now, and the Huang family no longer takes their children to talk to Peng Jin and accompany them as before, Zhang Minghua understands in his heart that during his absence in Beijing, he is afraid that the Huang family has already expressed his dissatisfaction with Peng Jin, so the two families have become so little now.
Zhang Minghua was unhappy in his heart, and originally wanted to open his mouth to blame the Huang family, but he happened to hear the Huang family sigh in his ear: "Now that your father and son have achieved something, and Sister Li's marriage has gradually gained eyebrows, I can finally rest assured, and it is not in vain that I worked hard to pull the two of them and serve your father and son!" ”
Zhang Minghua heard Huang's sigh like this, and then glimpsed Huang's wrinkled face that was deeper than his peers, and his heart was full of debt and gratitude, and he couldn't say anything about blame.
However, although he couldn't bear to blame his wife Huang, who had been working hard to manage housework and raise children, he also felt sorry for Liu Shi and Peng Jin.
If Peng Jin hadn't given him a livelihood and hired him as a bookkeeper in Daxing Qianzhuang with a good salary, how could he support his wife and children, and how could he have spare money to continue studying?
If it weren't for Liu Zhi's appreciation of him, he sincerely invited him to be a staff member and won the position of county magistrate for him in front of Emperor Taixi, which not only gave him a decent official position, but also made him hang his name in front of Emperor Taixi;
He also vigorously supported him to participate in the imperial examination, selflessly taught him the experience of the imperial examination, asked Emperor Taixi to allow him to take the township examination in Xichuan Mansion, and urged him to return to Beijing early to prepare for the examination, will he have today's achievements? !
I'm afraid that now he is still tossing and turning in various rich people's homes as Mr. Xixi, barely making ends meet with a meager bundle of repairs, and being his down-and-out talent.
Even if you don't mention the past, it is said that this time he was awarded the Hanlin Bachelor and the former attendant of the palace, isn't it because of his merits in the Battle of Danzhou!
If he didn't accompany Liu Shi to tour the Great Qi Sea Realm, without Liu Shi's strategizing and command, how could he make such a contribution?
Moreover, didn't Emperor Taixi also specifically praise him for his gratitude and loyalty, that is to say, the reason why Emperor Taixi was promoted to him was also because he appreciated his character of knowing kindness and being loyal.
Why didn't Huang think about these!
Zhang Minghua looked at the joy on Huang's face, sighed silently, found an excuse and went out.
Standing on the street, Zhang Minghua wandered for a long time, thinking that Liu Shi would arrive in Beijing from Tianjin Port today, so he simply turned around and went straight to Liu's house in Lantern Lane.
It was inconvenient for him to blame the Huang family, who had accompanied him all the way, but he had to express his apologies to Liu Shi and Peng Jin no matter what.
Liu Zhi thought about what Zhang Minghua said to him in the front hall just now, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
He and Zhang Minghua are like-minded and sincere, and they have never cared about the careful thinking of these housewomen, so the Huang family has such a suspicion today.
Speaking of which, it is because they are not careful enough to be husbands.
Peng Jin has known about this for a long time, and I am afraid that he has long been indifferent and alienated by the Huang family because of this.
But for the sake of his friendship with Zhang Minghua, Peng Jin has always kept it hidden, and he has been disgusted and complained by the Huang family.
Zhang Minghua couldn't bear to blame her because of Huang's dedication, why didn't he feel distressed because of Peng Jin's silent endurance.
Liu Shi looked at Peng Jin's eyes, and felt a little more tender and distressed.
Peng Jin responded with a gentle smile and sighed: "It's good to be fashionable in Quanzhou for the first time, after all, it is Mr. Zhang's first serious career, and it is enough to be able to pass the judgment position, which is enough to be gratifying for the hard-working sister-in-law Huang."
However, as she got in touch with those high-ranking women, Sister-in-law Huang felt that being the general judge of the prefect was far less enjoyable than being a magistrate in a county, and she could be the master of the house, and she didn't have to rely on others for everything.
So Huang's sister-in-law has been planning to move out to live on her own, but Mr. Zhang has never agreed.
Later, Brother Rui mistakenly thought that Brother Ju was Zhan'er and Che'er's little girl, and Huang's sister-in-law became angry and persuaded Mr. Zhang that the family didn't move out of the backyard of the mansion and live alone!
