Chapter Twenty-Eight: With Your Words, I'm Relieved
Chunnier just thought that Zhou Zhou Ming must have forgotten her promise to herself, so she was disheartened, desperate and helpless, she had no relatives in the world, she had no worries, and planned to go to the wilderness, secretly found a short sword, and lived her life.
Suddenly seeing Zhou Ming appear, Chun Nier couldn't believe her eyes, she burst into tears, and hugged Zhou Ming's waist, for fear that he would suddenly disappear and no longer pay attention to herself.
The subsequent appearance of Lin Ajiao made Chunnier even more overwhelmed.
Zhou Zhou Ming saw her nervousness, and immediately introduced: "Chun Nier, this is my mother-in-law, that is, your sister-in-law, don't be restrained, we will be a family in the future, she is fine, I will not be at home in the future, your sister-in-law will definitely take good care of you." ”
After hearing this, Chunni felt an indescribable sadness in her heart, but she didn't show it, but bowed to Lin Ajiao very politely: "Sister-in-law, thank you for the clothes you bought me." ”
"Thank you, this is what my sister-in-law should do." Lin Ajiao hurriedly pulled Chunnier into the carriage, and at the same time turned around and instructed Zhou Ming, "Xianggong, you take care of the wind, I'll put on new clothes for Sister Chunni, and then let's go home." ”
"Okay."
Zhou Ming agreed, turned his back to the carriage, walked around the carriage left and right, guarding every suspicious look, and at the same time using his vitality to detect whether there were any martial arts powerhouses around.
After Lin Ajiao and Chunni got into the carriage, they lowered the curtain in front of the carriage, she helped Chunni change into new clothes, folded the old clothes, and then opened the curtain of the carriage and let Chunni lean out.
"Xianggong, look, how about this new dress?"
Zhou Zhou Ming turned around, looked carefully, and had to admit that Chun Nier was really a beautiful embryo.
The shabby clothes she wore before couldn't hide Chuniel's cute and watery appearance, but now wearing this gorgeous new dress makes her look even more glamorous and cute.
"Yes, Chunni's sister is already good-looking, and wearing this outfit simply complements each other, it's so beautiful."
Zhou Ming did not hesitate to praise himself.
Chuniel was shy for a while, blushed and lowered her head, and got back into the carriage.
Lin Ajiao leaned out, stretched out her hand, and said with a smile: "Xianggong, how is it?" Listen to me, right? If you want to gamble and lose, take it. ”
Zhou Ming coughed dryly, took out the silver from his sleeve, and obediently put it in Lin Ajiao's hand.
Before they came just now, they went to the tailor's shop to buy clothes for Chunni, and the two of them each fell in love with a set of clothes, and they both thought that Chunni must look good in them, and they wanted to buy both of them, and no one would let anyone.
But the point is that the two of them went out in a hurry, and the money they brought with them was only enough to buy a set.
In desperation, the two of them discussed and decided, each made a move, and bought the set of clothes that Lian Gillian fancied, but if Chunnier didn't look good in it later, this set of clothes would be left, and the set of clothes that Zhou Ming liked would be bought.
If Chunni looks good in this outfit, it will be Zhou Zhou Ming who loses, not only will he not buy the outfit he likes, but he will also hand over all the savings he has with him to Lin Ajiao.
Lin Ajiao, who won the gamble, was triumphant: "Listen to you for big things, don't mix up such small things in the future, just let me call the shots." ”
Zhou Ming was helpless, bent down and said: "Obey the order, in the future, my food and clothing will depend on my mother." ”
The two of them laughed a few words, and Zhou Ming got into the carriage and went home directly.
Back home, Zhou Ming and Lin Ajiao introduced Chunnier to their families.
The subordinates of the Zhou family, seeing that there was another competitor, were very disgusted in their hearts, and even showed it on the bright side.
Zhou Ruhai and Mrs. Zhou like Chunnier very much, and think that this child is handsome, not to mention, those smart eyes are very smart at first glance.
Zhou Zhou Ming told Chunnier's life experience in detail to his family, speaking of Chunni's grandmother who was killed, and now when there is no one in the world, Mrs. Zhou was very sad and hugged Chunnier and cried.
"What a good child, it's a hard life. Chuniel, don't be sad, our family will be your home in the future, Yiming will be your eldest brother, and my master and I will be your parents. ”
As a scholar, Zhou Ruhai has his own reserve and pride, although he also likes Chunni as a child, but seeing that his wife directly wants to recognize her as a goddaughter, he is still a little reluctant.
Seeing his old mother, who likes Chunni so much, a stone in Zhou Ming's heart finally fell to the ground, he was afraid that his parents would not agree to keep Chunni, with his current economic situation, if he wants to settle Chunnier outside, he can't do it for the time being.
Inevitably having a lot of dreams at night, Zhou Zhou Ming saw the opportunity and quickly asked Chunni to kneel: "Chunnier, why are you so stupid?" Didn't you hear my mother say that she wants to recognize you as her goddaughter? You still don't kneel down and call your mother. ”
After Zhou Ming reminded her like this, Chun Nier immediately reacted, quickly knelt down, and said, "My mother is above, and my daughter is polite." ”
Mrs. Zhou didn't plan to accept this goddaughter, she just said that, she was just excited for a while, and she felt too sorry for Chun Nier.
At this time, Chunni directly recognized herself as her godmother, and Mrs. Zhou was also happy in her heart, but she felt that this goddaughter was too fast.
Zhou Ruhai saw that the raw rice had been cooked rice, and even though he was a little reluctant, he had no choice but to give up, push the boat down the river, and become a cheap godfather.
In fact, before bringing Chun Nier home, Zhou Zhou Ming was very worried, the reason is very simple, although the conditions of the Zhou family are not as good as before, they are also a big family.
The relationship between the master and the subordinate is already delicate, and if the master is incapable, he will be fooled by the subordinate, not to mention the newcomer Chun Nier.
If Chun Nier comes to the Zhou family and only lives as the following people, then her life will be very difficult, although Zhou Zhou Ming has confidence in her heart, her mother will be very good to this child, and her parents will treat her well, the only thing that makes him uneasy is the attitude of the people towards Chunni.
These subordinates have their own rules of life, and they also form gangs among themselves, and even have their own class divisions.
With the protection of the master, after Chunni came, they didn't dare to do anything on the surface, but they would definitely stumble behind their backs and bully Chunnier.
Zhou Ming is busy with official business, it is impossible to be at home all the time, his parents are old, and he is already generous to his subordinates, so he can't control them at all.
Lin Ajiao can suppress these subordinates, but she is too good-hearted, and she does not have that ruthlessness at the critical moment, and when Zhou Ming is not at home, Lin Ajiao has to do her filial piety for him in front of her parents, and she almost has to deal with the affairs of the whole family, and there are always places that cannot be taken care of.
Chun Nier's background is pitiful enough, if she is bullied in the Zhou family for these reasons, Zhou Zhou Ming feels that she has done something bad with good intentions.
Seeing Chunni recognize her mother as her godmother, Zhou Ming understood that all the problems were solved at this moment.
With the identity of a goddaughter as a talisman, no matter how dare the subordinates be, they don't dare to bully Chuniel.
After recognizing her goddaughter, the more Mrs. Zhou looked at Chunni, the more she liked it, and immediately pulled her back to her room and whispered.
The subordinates exchanged glances with each other, although they were not convinced, but they all knew that Chun Nier, a girl, could not be easily bullied in the future, otherwise they would die ugly.
After lunch, Zhou Zhou Ming called Laifu to the front yard alone, and said straight to the point: "Laifu, you have been in charge of our family for more than ten years, and you also understand the rules of the Zhou family." I know that you are the leader of our family, and they all listen to you. ”
Laifu understood that Zhou Ming had something to explain to himself, and immediately spoke: "Young master, you are the master, I am a minion, if you have anything to say, the slave will do his best." ”
Zhou Zhou Ming nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a big deal, I brought Chunni back today, you also saw it, this child is well-behaved and lovely, the old lady likes it at a glance, and directly recognizes her goddaughter."
I know that you subordinates are always doing things behind your backs and bullying people for the newcomers.
I hope that this will not happen in my house in the future, and I tell you, remember, Chunni'er is not a slave, nor is she a maid, she is my mother's goddaughter, my sister, you and others should be smarter.
If I hear the word grievance in her mouth in the future, then don't blame me for being ruthless. ”
Laifu had seen Zhou Ming's methods, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, young master, such a thing will never happen, who dares to bully Miss, I will be the first to let him go." ”
Zhou Ming patted him on the shoulder: "With your words, I am relieved." ”
In order to take Chunni home, Zhou Zhou Ming asked the yamen for half a day off, at this time he arranged everything at home and went directly to the yamen on a business trip.
As soon as he walked to the gate of the yamen, Zhou Zhou Ming heard a noise inside.
"Oh, I've never seen so much silver."
"I knew I would get so much silver, and I went to the night patrol that night."
"Then you didn't say it earlier, the night patrol team was so short of manpower at that time, you just need to say hello to the leader, and he will definitely let you go."
"If you don't go, you can still see so much silver, and if you really go, now you are dead."
As soon as Zhou Ming entered the yamen, a group of officials and messengers immediately surrounded him.
"Zhou Zhutou, the court's reward for you has come down, tens of thousands of taels of silver, all piled up in the back hall."
"Zhou Zhutou, you heads have taken so much silver, shouldn't you treat everyone to a good meal?"
"The dishes in the Drunken Immortal Building are good, Zhou Zhutou will think about it."
As soon as he heard that the bounty of the imperial court had come down, Zhou Zhou Ming dealt with a few jokes from everyone, and immediately went straight to the back hall, for fear that if he went one step too late, Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang would do something.
Of course, Zhou Ming's worries are superfluous, the lesson he gave to the two of them last time was deep enough, unless the two of them wanted to take their own lives, otherwise, they would never dare to fight this batch of silver.
Coming to the back hall, Zhou Zhou Ming went directly to Deng Tong.
The room where Deng Tong worked was very large, and as soon as Zhou Ming entered the house, he saw several large boxes on the ground in the house, all of which were open, and the silver inside was shining.
So much silver, not to mention those little officials in the yamen, even Zhou Ming is the first time to see it.
