Chapter 679: Be Honest
After agreeing to go to see the horse together, in the evening, the Zhen family, the Tao people, and the fake Huns went to bed early, and they set off according to the agreement tomorrow morning.
And the potter had already sent someone Pegasus to inform Guo Jia in Linzi City, and instructed him on the situation here, he and Guo Jia had a tacit understanding, and he believed that with Guo Jia's wisdom, he would definitely know what to do next.
Therefore, the potter slept very soundly this night.
But compared to the carefree potter, there is one person who is very uncomfortable in his heart, and that person is Zhen Mi.
Miss Zhen tossed and turned on the bed, almost sleepless.
Her heart was filled with turbulent waves and deep self-reproach.
Although they have not been together for a long time, Zhen Mi can see and feel that the potter is a good person, although the good is not so pure, but compared with Yuan Shao's self-sacrificed others for personal interests, the sentiment of the potter is far more noble.
Over the years, for the Zhen family, outside of Jizhou, Hebei, the southeast pottery merchants have the best money, the most abundant resources, the richest people's livelihood, and the people are the most peaceful and contented.
These are not from the rumors of others, but the heads of the shops in the southeast under the Zhen family, including Zhen Mi, who summarized them when they sorted out the profits and losses of the accounts every year.
"Alas~"
When she thought of this, Zhen Mi turned over and got up, came to the table, lit the oil lamp in the dark room, and stared at the lamp blankly.
Under the light, the light reflects the slip that the potter taught Zhen Mi a new bookkeeping method the day before, and the regular form looks in Zhen Mi's eyes, and the scenes seem to be vivid.
Zhen Mi bit her lip and finally made up her mind.
She got dressed and hesitantly walked out of the room.
When she was young, she came to the courtyard where the potter was, and she wanted to step in, but as soon as she took a step, she was a little hesitant at her feet.
Just when Zhen Mi was hesitating, suddenly, a voice suddenly sounded from the side, startling him.
"Who?"
Zhen Mi hurriedly turned her head to look, but saw Ah Fei flashing behind her at some point, staring at her with a wary expression.
However, when Ah Fei saw that it was Zhen Mi, he was stunned for a moment, then put away his fierce expression and showed a playful smile.
"Who shall I be? It turned out to be Miss Zhen. ā
Zhen Mi covered her chest and said in surprise: "I'm scared to death...... You, you are? ā
"Oh, Miss Zhen has no impression of me, I'm Tao Cheng...... Mr. Tao's nursing home. ā
"Nursing home?" Zhen Mi looked him up and down suspiciously: "You don't sleep in the middle of the night in a nursing home, why are you scaring people here?" ā
"The girl misunderstood, she was just protecting the safety of her husband and was on duty at night."
Zhen Mi breathed a sigh of relief lightly and said, "Then bother you to go and talk to your husband, I have something important to see him, it is very important, bother him......"
Ah Fei laughed, waved his hand and said, "Miss Zhen doesn't have to be so polite, you and my husband are both family, so why don't you have so much hard work." ā
Zhen Mi was stunned when she heard this: "I'm with your husband...... When did you become a family? ā
Ah Fei's broken mouth made another mistake: "You have been started by my husband and become his woman, isn't this a family?" ā
Zhen Mi's expression stiffened suddenly.
ā¦ā¦
When he was young, the potter was woken up by Ah Fei, came to the side hall with sleepy eyes, sat down with Zhen Mi, yawned and said, "Miss Zhen doesn't sleep in the middle of the night?" What ...... is there about looking for Tao?"
Before he could finish speaking, the potter suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
Zhen Mi looked at her with extremely resentful eyes, faintly revealing a great sense of grievance, and that expression was ...... How should it be described?
It's like being ruined by a potter.
"IāI don't seem to have asked you to borrow money lately, have I? Isn't it? Borrowed? The potter asked Zhen Mi suspiciously.
He was a little unsure in his heart.
Zhen Mi took a deep breath and held in her heart what Ah Fei said to her.
This prodigal son, one in front of him and one behind his back, said that he was his woman outside behind his back, and he didn't dare to admit it in person!
Zhen Mi shook his head, and suddenly said: "Mr. Tao is from the southeast, and he is a member of the same clan as the prime minister. ā
The potter didn't expect Zhen Mi to run to his side in the middle of the night to ask this?
He looked at Zhen Mi suspiciously, and said: "The main reason is that since the Taiping Prince took charge of the southeast, he has gone through reforms, developed the economy, rebuilt the law, raised the people with serious injuries, and governed the fields in Tuntian, which has only achieved today's results." ā
Zhen Mi nodded when she heard this, and said, "Mr. is a relative of the prime minister, dare to ask sir, what kind of person do you think the prime minister is?" Good yes, bad yes? ā
The potter couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "It's not good to talk about, but it's not a particularly bad person...... The prime minister is also a human being, with his relatives, his enemies, his ideals, what he must do, and the principles and bottom line that he must adhere to. ā
Speaking of this, the potter suddenly looked at Zhen Mi seriously and said seriously: "At least, he definitely didn't harm the lives of people who were not his enemies for no reason. ā
Zhen Mi suddenly burst into tears when she faced the potter's serious eyes.
"Y-Did you already know?"
The potter smiled: "Although I have known for a long time, I have never pierced you, just because I think you are a kind person, and there must be some hidden worries behind this matter, so I have been waiting for the girl to take the initiative to tell me the truth." ā
Speaking of this, the potter said lightly: "Who is not wrong? Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, and good is great. ā
Zhen Mi gently wiped her tears and said in a low voice, "The little woman understands...... I'm here tonight just to let you know that I'm not that kind of person......"
said it, but when she saw her Yingying getting up, she asked An Shili: "The people's daughter Zhen Mi, I have seen the prime minister." ā
"Sit down." The potter waved his hand and said, "You are a woman, and you are a white-bodied businessman, why do you want to get involved in the struggle between Yuan Shao and me?" ā
Zhen Mi sobbed as she told the story.
In fact, the reason is very simple and rude, after Zhen Yan's death, the head of the Zhen family is Zhen Yao, Zhen Mi's brother, but now the main male of the Zhen family has been transferred by Yuan Shao to serve as a hostage.
Although Yuan Shao didn't say it so thoroughly, Zhen Mi was not stupid, and naturally knew Yuan Shao's true intentions.
On the one hand, it is the life of his biological brother, and on the other hand, he wants to harm a person he has never met, Zhen Mi's conscience has been tormented during this period of time, and others really can't imagine.
After all, she's just a weak woman.
The potter chief sighed and said, "For me, you are guilty, but you are not wrong. ā
Zhen Mi wiped her red eyes and nodded.
"Girl, you told me the truth today, and Yuan Shao will settle accounts with you in the future? What should you do? ā
Zhen Mi smiled dismally and said, "I'll talk about the future in the future, after all, the little girl's conscience is okay now...... Some things are destined by heaven and cannot be forced, if Yuan Gong wants to blame, then the little woman will bear it, at least ......"
Speaking of this, Zhen Mi paused and said, "At least, the little girl didn't harm anyone." ā
The potter blinked at her for a moment, then suddenly smiled.
"Just what you said just now, don't worry, I will help you in this matter, so that your Zhen family will be in danger this time, which can be regarded as your reward for your honesty and kindness."
