Chapter 228: Buying People's Hearts
At that time, Chunni's heart was very narrow-minded, she felt that she had nothing to do with Lin Ajiao, as the young grandmother of the Zhou family, Lin Ajiao, the reason why she suddenly took care of herself like this, there must be some ulterior secrets behind it.
Because Chunni really didn't believe that Lin Ajiao took care of herself so much, just out of kindness and sympathy, after all, she had never seen someone with such noble sentiments.
Although she has this doubt in her heart, Chunni is still very grateful for Lin Ajiao's care for herself, but while being grateful, she has been thinking about what is the real purpose behind Lin Ajiao doing these things?
After several days and nights of repeated thinking, Chunni finally came to a conclusion, she thought that the reason why Lin Ajiao did this was to buy people's hearts and buy herself on the one hand, and on the other hand, to show Zhou Ming.
After all, she was brought back by Zhou Ming, if life is not good, in the future, if Zhou Ming learns the truth of the matter, not only those subordinates will be severely punished by Zhou Ming, but even Lin Ajiao will be responsible at that time.
The reason is very simple, although the Zhou family is a big family, but the family background is not what it used to be, the existing manpower in the family is actually not too much, the lord and wife of the Zhou family are old and lack of energy, and it is understandable that they did not notice that Chun Nier was excluded and bullied, but Lin Ajiao did not notice this matter, so it was a little too much to say.
After all, she is young, and her own martial arts cultivation is more sensitive than ordinary people's, and according to common sense, it is impossible for her not to detect such a thing.
If it turns out afterwards that Lin Ajiao noticed that Chun Nier was being excluded and turned a blind eye, Zhou Zhou Ming would definitely be angry with her, so that it would affect the relationship between the two of them.
After thinking about this, Chun Nier couldn't help but shudder in her heart, because she understood that the reason why Lin Ajiao was secretly taking care of herself was to keep her hands behind, so that even if Zhou Zhou Ming knew the truth of the matter in the future, she could take out these behaviors of taking care of herself and excuse herself, after all, no matter what the purpose, her behavior of relieving herself was true.
And Lin Ajiao does this, there is another advantage, if Zhou Zhou Ming does not care about her own affairs in the future, Lin Ajiao can stop this kind of care at any time and leave herself to fend for herself.
It is precisely because of this thought in her heart that Chun Nier not only did not appreciate Lin Ajiao's behavior of taking care of herself, but was full of hatred for her, feeling that Lin Ajiao was a two-faced villain, and such a person being Zhou Ming's wife was simply an insult to Zhou Ming.
In the days that followed, Chunnier often deliberately avoided Lin Ajiao, even if she would be bullied by other subordinates after doing this, she did not hesitate.
But these resentments and hatreds towards Lin Ajiao in the past disappeared in an instant after Chunnier understood that Lin Ajiao wanted to die for Zhou Ming.
Chuniel finally understood that her previous thoughts and perceptions of Lin Ajiao were all about living in the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and Lin Ajiao was not such a despicable and shameless person at all.
Chun Nier felt deep regret for misunderstanding Lin Ajiao's behavior in the past, thinking of the disrespect and rudeness she showed in front of Lin Ajiao more or less before, she even felt that she deserved to die, and at the same time, she also secretly decided in her heart that she must treat Lin Ajiao well in the future, and she must not be disrespectful again.
Although Chunnier and Huan'er had different thoughts in their hearts, they were deeply relieved to see that Zhou Zhou Ming easily resolved Lin Ajiao's intention to do something stupid.
In the end, Zhou Ming easily solved the problem of Laifu, which made the two little maids admire Zhou Ming even more.
Then Lin Ajiao and Zhou Zhou Ming praised each other, although the two little maids couldn't quite understand what their words meant, but both of them were happy for them, because both of them understood in their hearts that after their young master dealt with the problem of Laifu alone, his status and right to speak in the family were not what they used to be, and it was likely that from now on, he would replace the master of the Zhou family and become the head of the family.
Originally, seeing Zhou Zhou Ming and Lin Ajiao had a rare opportunity to talk alone, the two little maids couldn't bear to disturb, after all, Zhou Zhou Ming experienced so many things last night, and there must be a lot of things to say to his wife, but seeing Zhou Zhou Ming's tired appearance, Chun Nier was extremely distressed, and at the same time, she also felt that Zhou Zhou Ming should eat earlier, and then rest quickly.
She relied on her courage, took two steps forward, and said softly: "Young master and young grandmother, the banquet is almost set up, you two should hurry into the house to eat, otherwise if you two don't enter the table, others will be embarrassed to use chopsticks." ”
Zhou Zhou Ming originally wanted to say a few intimate words to Lin Ajiao, but when he heard Chun Nier say this, he also felt that it made sense, after all, the family was busy for a day and a night because of their own affairs, and everyone was hungry.
"That's right, I happen to be hungry too." Zhou Zhou Ming touched his stomach as he spoke, and then looked at Lin Ajiao, "Lady, please, come to the table with the prime minister and eat him well." ”
Seeing Zhou Ming's naughty appearance, Lin Ajiao was also very cooperative, her legs were slightly bent, her body sank, and she made a blessing movement: "The concubine obeys orders." ”
The way the two of them sang and harmonized made Chunni and Huan'er laugh next to them.
Zhou Zhou Ming deliberately straightened his face, held back a smile, looked at the two little maids, and said, "Be serious, otherwise be careful that you won't have anything to eat!" ”
The two little maids knew that Zhou Ming was joking, so they didn't take it seriously at all, but laughed even harder.
Zhou Zhou Ming turned his head, looked at Lin Ajiao, pretended to be helpless, and spread his hands: "It seems that after today, I will have no authority at home, forget it, lady, let's go to dinner first." ”
After saying this, Zhou Zhou Ming took Lin Ajiao's hand and walked towards the study.
The two little maidens glanced at each other and followed them closely.
There were two large tables in the study, and the dishes on the table had been cold for too long, but now they were heated up and gradually put on the table again.
The subordinates hurriedly went in and out, because everyone knew that their young master was born and died last night, and he almost couldn't come back, and from last night to now, the young master has not even eaten a full meal, if they are slow with their hands and feet, delay the young master's meal, and the young master will be hungry, and they can't afford it.
Next to the dining table, Mrs. Zhou sat on a chair, her eyes closed, muttering something in her mouth, and constantly fiddling with a string of Buddhist beads in her hands.
Zhou Ruhai stood on the ground, walking around, his heart was extremely anxious, like an ant on a hot pot.
Although he was angry just now, he decided to ignore Laifu and let Zhou Ming deal with this bastard, but after entering the study, he was still very uneasy, after all, Zhou Zhou Ming is a young man, without experience, under impulse, it is likely to do something stupid.
Although Laifu is extremely guilty and innocent of death, he must not die in the Zhou family, because Zhou Zhou Ming has made such a great contribution, and if he wants to get the reward he deserves, he must be extremely cautious, after all, so many eyes in the court must be staring at Zhou Ming, even if he doesn't make mistakes, they can pick a bone in the egg and frame Zhou Ming to prevent him from climbing up smoothly.
has been in the court for so many years, Zhou Ruhai has seen too many things like this, even if Zhou Zhou Ming did not offend Yan Yan before, other officials in the court will definitely make stumbling blocks in secret, and they will not easily let Zhou Ming soar, there may be no other reason, just out of jealousy.
In the past, once there was an official in the imperial court who was extraordinary and outstanding, he would definitely not be in the limelight for long, and he would be impeached by other officials immediately, and they would find all kinds of reasons to disgrace him and dismiss him.
Zhou Ruhai often sighed, the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, and the ancients did not deceive me.
Seeing Mrs. Zhou's calm appearance, Zhou Ruhai was angry: "Madam, when has this been, what Buddha do you still have leisure to recite?"
You should go out and see what our son is doing with Laifu, and if there is something wrong, you can stop it. ”
Mrs. Zhou was indifferent, still with her eyes closed, reciting her Buddha, and the rhythm of playing with Buddha beads in her hand was not chaotic at all, and after reading a paragraph, she closed her eyes and said: "Master, you are also a slaughterer for officials outside, don't you know the truth that people are not suspicious, and people are not suspicious?"
Since you have handed over this matter to your son, you have to believe him, are you still like a manly husband who was afraid of wolves and tigers?
I have confidence in our son, he will be able to handle this matter perfectly, and I advise you not to be in a hurry there. ”
Zhou Ruhai was angry about his wife's negative attitude, but he also felt that there was some truth in her words, and he couldn't lose his temper with him anymore, so he could only flick his sleeves and continue to pace back and forth in the study.
At this time, it happened that a subordinate walked into the study with a plate of dishes, this person is usually very clever, and he has also won Zhou Ruhai's trust.
Zhou Ruhai immediately grabbed him, lowered his voice, and asked secretly: "Let me ask you, how is the young master handling the affairs outside?" Why hasn't the young master come into the house to eat after such a long time? ”
This subordinate is naturally well aware of the situation outside, but he is not a fool, his own young master handled the matter of Laifu so beautifully, if he leaked the secret in advance in front of the master, wouldn't he steal the limelight of the young master?
If the young master knew about it afterwards, he would definitely have an opinion about himself and offend the future master of the Zhou family, he couldn't do this kind of stupid thing.
While putting the dishes in his hand on the table, he accompanied the smiling face, lowered his voice, and replied respectfully: "Master, if you reply to your words, the yard was quite lively just now, but I don't know what happened specifically." ”
