The people in the courtyard were also sincerely happy for Zhou Ming, after all, their young master had passed the most difficult level, and the subsequent things might not be so dangerous.

Zhou Ruhai stroked his beard, very satisfied with his son's performance at the critical moment, and he had to admit in his heart that his son's courage and ability to adapt to changes may exceed his own by dozens of times, which means that if he is carefully cultivated, he is likely to achieve countless times higher achievements in officialdom than himself

Thinking of these, Zhou Ruhai was secretly a little excited in his heart, after all, although the Zhou family used to be a wealthy family, it was decades ago, in the past twenty or thirty years, the Zhou family has not produced a promising person, and when he did not give up fame and fortune before, the official position he held was already the highest achievement of the Zhou family in the past 20 years.

Seeing that his son is expected to revive the former glory of the Zhou family, how can this not make Zhou Ruhai excited?

Zhou Ruhai retracted his chaotic thoughts, checked the surrounding situation, and found that everyone was looking at him, as if he had done something out of the ordinary when he was in a trance.

In order to alleviate his embarrassment, he coughed lightly twice, then raised his sleeves, pretended to wipe sweat, secretly wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes, and then returned to normal, raised his head, looked at Zhou Mingming, and slowly praised: "Ming'er, well done, the more critical moments like this, the more you have to be in danger, only in this way can you do great things."

The heroic act you just said about yourself is very much the style of your father when he was young, and you must maintain this precious character, because it can help you a lot in the critical moments in the future! ”

Zhou Ming had a question mark in his head, an unnatural wry smile appeared on his face, thinking that his father was too cheeky, usually he rarely praised me as an old man, and it was rare to really praise me once, but he also picked himself up, turned his head and praised himself fiercely, this character is too bad.

When Mrs. Zhou saw her master's funny appearance, she couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "What an old child, obviously he was praising his son, but in the end he turned around and praised himself.

You said that in front of so many people in the family, how could he be embarrassed to say the last words? ”

Although most of the people in the courtyard felt that Zhou Ruhai's words were out of place, as if he was stealing the limelight of Zhou Ming and putting gold on his face, Lin Ajiao didn't think so, she felt that her father-in-law could say this because she was happy for her father-in-law from the bottom of her heart, and when she was relaxed, she revealed her true feelings and said what she thought in her heart.

And she thinks that this is in her own family, although there are many people, but they are all family members, even if her father-in-law says something out of the ordinary when he is happy, it is harmless.

After Zhou Ruhai said that, he regretted it, because he realized that it was very inappropriate to speak like this, and in order to alleviate the embarrassment, he immediately asked Zhou Ming what happened later.

Of course, Zhou Ming understands his father's intentions, but who makes himself his son, he can only obediently cover up his ugliness:

"I was also very puzzled by Han Pingzhi's attitude at the time, but I didn't think much about it, after all, other people's postures have been taken out, if I have twists and pinched, I can't be honest with each other, but it seems that I am a child.

In line with the principle of employing people without suspicion and suspecting people, I unreservedly told Han Pingzhi all about the situation of the thieves lurking in the capital of the northern country at that time.

Originally, I was also worried about his reaction, afraid that he would pretend to be a public servant and exclude me and my brothers in order to take credit, but it turned out that my worries were unnecessary.

After listening to my story, Han Pingzhi immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, so he personally expressed his attitude to me and expressed his full support for me to catch the thieves in the northern country. ”

In the process of Zhou Ming's narration, everyone in the courtyard was worried about what kind of conspiracy Han Pingzhi would play to prevent Zhou Ming from making great contributions.

waited until the end to hear it, and these people breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and from Zhou Ming's expression, they even felt that this Han Pingzhi was not bad in nature.

Only Zhou Ruhai showed a suspicious look: "Ming'er, although this surnamed Han has been out of Yan Qiu's sphere of influence, he is still not an old thief, only he knows it in his heart."

With his background and position, will he really help you? ”

"Dad, I have to admit that you are very thoughtful, but you really think too much about this issue." Zhou Zhou Ming once again showed no mercy to his father, "The thieves of the Northern Kingdom lurked under the eyes of the emperor and were not discovered for a long time, which is a serious dereliction of duty for the leaders of the various yamen in the capital.

And this kind of dereliction of duty is even more fatal for Han Pingzhi.

Because the yamen of the General Affairs Office where he is located is responsible for the security of the entire capital city, and even our inspection yamen in the south of the city is his subordinate yamen.

Once these thieves from the northern country make a big deal in the capital, the emperor will be the first to ask for his head, and it is precisely for these reasons that it is impossible for him to abandon his future and destiny, and stand by and watch me for personal grievances.

And dad, don't forget, these people from the white guards are different from you and me, their obsession with fame and fortune is engraved in their bones. ”

Zhou Ming's words were the Tao, so much so that they taught Zhou Ruhai a lesson, as for the people in the family, they couldn't keep up with Zhou Ming's train of thought at all, and after digesting it for a long time, they understood how deep the truth of Zhou Ming's words was.

Seeing that her master was speechless and out of shape by Zhou Ming's words, Mrs. Zhou couldn't mention how happy she was: "Our master often boasts to others, saying that he is just not obsessed with fame and fortune, but he knows everything about the knowledge in the officialdom, and even I was almost deceived by him."

It's good today, the original form is revealed, right? In front of his son, he still wanted to pretend to be a teacher, but he was speechless all of a sudden, I think if he doesn't come back, where will his old face go. ”

Compared with the scene of Mrs. Zhou laughing, Lin Ajiao couldn't laugh at all, because she understood that there were so many people in the courtyard at this time, if Zhou Zhou Ming embarrassed her father-in-law in public like this, the consequences would be difficult to clean up.

His shallowness and naivety were once again exposed by his son in public, Zhou Ruhai had a feeling of self-shame, his face was flushed, and he didn't know how to answer Zhou Ming's words for a while, just stood in place in a daze, wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.

Zhou Zhou Ming actually felt embarrassed when he refuted his dad just now, so when he was about to finish speaking, he left a button and deliberately let his dad pick up the stubble, so that his dad would not be so embarrassed.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that his father's political wisdom was so low, not only did he not find out what he left for him at the first time, but because of shame, the whole person was stunned.

Seeing his father's embarrassment, Zhou Ming was anxious for him, and even wanted to give him a hint to solve the current dilemma quickly.

After a long period of silence, the embarrassing atmosphere created by Zhou Ruhai became stronger and stronger, and those subordinates couldn't help but talk to each other.

"What's going on? The young master spoke so well, why did he suddenly stop talking? ”

"You can't even see that? It's so stupid. Didn't you see the two sentences of the young master just now, and you made our master angry? Our young master wanted to continue talking, but the old man's temper, he knew, if this word was not given to him back, once he lost face, everyone in this courtyard should not think about it. ”

The other subordinate sighed, lowered his voice and said, "Can we be blamed for this, young master?" It was the master himself who stretched out his face and threw it over, knowing that he didn't have anything in his stomach, and he still had to earn a lot with our young master, he really didn't know the times.

That's it, just now I took the opportunity to praise the young master and praised myself, you said that you are so old, do you really want no face at all? ”

"Shhh, be quiet, be careful to be heard by the master, otherwise you won't be able to eat and walk around."

After this warning, the subordinates shut up one after another.

Seeing that the situation continued to be like this, it would be difficult for things to end, so Lin Ajiao planned to walk over and relieve her father-in-law.

It's just that Zhou Ruhai didn't give her this opportunity in the end, after he was stunned for a long time, he finally understood the mystery in his son's words, he was overjoyed for a while, and hurriedly said: "Ming'er, do you mean that this opportunity to capture the thieves in the northern country, Han Pingzhi can't ask for it, he wants to take advantage of this opportunity to continue to climb up?" ”

Zhou Zhou Ming finally let out a sigh of relief, thinking that it was too hard to talk to his father, and he must not discuss such a profound issue with him in the future, otherwise he would be uncomfortable with himself.

"Dad, what you said is so right, it seems that your old man's vision of the problem is still very unique, as a son, I will learn from you in the future." Zhou Zhou Ming hurriedly grabbed the conversation, in order to make up for his behavior of slapping his father's face just now, he hurriedly praised it, for fear that this incident would leave a shadow in his father's heart.

Things have come to this point, if Zhou Ruhai doesn't understand his son's good intentions, he will really be a fool.

He looked at his son with emotion, his eyes were full of tears, thinking that being able to have such a good son was really a blessing that he had cultivated for several lifetimes, not to mention how much he would be productive in the future, and how much glory he would bring to the Zhou family, just because he was so considerate of himself, it was already very rare.

Thinking of these, Zhou Ruhai felt that his previous efforts to Zhou Ming were worth it.

Seeing this scene of father's kindness and filial piety, everyone in the courtyard was very pleased, only Mrs. Zhou felt a little disappointed, because she had been expecting her son to make her master lose face more completely, because maybe this would make him get rid of the stinky problem of saving face.
