Zhou Zhou Ming was drinking tea, and after hearing Lin Ajiao say this, he was suddenly stunned, and his breathing rhythm was disordered, so that he choked on a mouthful of water, and in a panic, he squirted out a mouthful of tea, followed by a violent cough.

Lin Ajiao hurriedly patted him on the back, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" You can choke on drinking water, and I'm really convinced of you. ”

After the coughing gradually disappeared, Zhou Zhou Ming raised his head, looked at Lin Ajiao with a somewhat complicated look, and thought to himself that the lady was really difficult to deal with, if his own rhetoric just now was to say to his parents, they must have been deceived by themselves a long time ago, and they couldn't think of those tricky and weird ideas at all.

"It's okay, I went out and talked a lot just now, and I haven't had a chance to drink water, but now it's easy to drink tea, and I'm a little anxious." Zhou Zhou Ming explained the reason why he choked, while thinking carefully, how to deal with Lin Ajiao's question just now, he knew in his heart that he only had one chance to deceive the lady, if there were too many loopholes in the reasons made up, and if the lady was exposed at once, he could only tell the truth, after all, he deceived the lady one after another, one is that he will be unbearable, and the other is that Lin Ajiao is not easy to mess with, in case his lies anger her, he will definitely have no good fruit to eat.

And what makes Zhou Ming unacceptable the most is that as long as he tells the truth, this large amount of money does not belong to his own disposal, because whether it is public or private, as a public self, he must hand over this money to his wife.

Thinking of these, Zhou Zhou Ming couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, and secretly thought in his heart, Lao Tzu licked blood on the tip of the knife outside, and when he fought with the thieves in the north, he was not so afraid, but he didn't expect to be so scared at home, facing his wife, if this was known by outsiders, wouldn't he laugh off his big teeth?

It's so hard for men.

After a sigh, Zhou Zhou Ming decided to use the method of preemptive sound, and he must stop Lin Ajiao immediately after speaking, so that she must not have time to think.

Seeing that after Zhou Zhou Ming regained his composure, he never opened his mouth to answer her question, Lin Ajiao became even more anxious, because she thought that the reason why Zhou Zhou Ming avoided her question was that this matter was very difficult to handle, and he didn't mention it to himself, just because he didn't want to worry about him.

Thinking of this, Lin Ajiao felt very moved for the first time, because she felt that Zhou Zhou Ming must have done this because she loved herself too much and was afraid that she would be afraid of him, so she deliberately concealed herself.

While being moved, Lin Ajiao couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart, thinking that Xianggong was really stupid, although you didn't let me know the truth of the matter because you were afraid that I would worry, but if you do this, don't you just don't treat me as your own? The two of us are now husband and wife, except for our parents, the two of us are the closest, if you hide these bad things from me in the future, how can we live this life?

Although I am a woman, I usually can't show my head and can't help you in my career, but if you encounter difficulties, just tell me, I will do everything possible to find a way for you, there is really nothing to do, I will be cheeky and go back to my parents' house for help, even if my father and mother don't look down on you anymore, they will help you for my sake.

After thinking about this, seeing that Zhou Zhou Ming never meant to speak, Lin Ajiao finally couldn't help it, she moved a chair over, put it opposite Zhou Ming, and then sat on the chair, looked at Zhou Ming with a sincere face, and said softly:

"Xianggong, I know that there are some things you don't want to say to me, and I also know that you are in a very difficult situation now, to be honest, as your wife, there are too few things I can do for you, but I want you to remember one thing, you and I are husband and wife, the closest people, you can be strong in front of outsiders, there is no need to do this in front of me.

If you keep reporting good news to me and not bad news, the pressure on yourself will be very great, and everyone's ability to withstand pressure has a limit, in case you are under heavy pressure and your ability to withstand collapse collapse, what do you let me do?

Besides, although I can't help you a lot, it's okay to give you ideas, right? So you don't have to worry about me at all, you can say anything to me, this is not only a relief for your own psychological pressure, but also so that I won't feel that you treat me as an outsider. ”

After listening to what Lin Ajiao said, Zhou Zhou Ming was like five thunderbolts, and he was shocked, he had always felt that his lady was very good, because Lin Ajiao was almost a one-in-a-million existence in terms of appearance, figure, and martial arts cultivation, and just now, he also found that his lady not only has no appearance and knowledge, but also has no one in virtue.

After she guessed that she had something to hide from her, not only did she not complain to herself and lose her temper, but she thought about herself and enlightened herself step by step, hoping that she could tell her the difficulties and let her share part of the problems for herself.

Zhou Zhou Ming was extremely moved, he couldn't believe it, he had always had bad luck, but in the matter of marrying a wife, Ou Qi was full and won the first prize.

He had been planning in his heart just now, how to deceive his mother, and after being moved at this time, he suddenly fell into a dilemma, I don't know whether to tell the truth to my lady, or should I continue to lie to her.

Just when Zhou Zhou Ming was doing a fierce ideological struggle, Lin Ajiao noticed the expression on his face and guessed what difficult choice he might be making, in order not to make him feel persecuted, Lin Ajiao hurriedly said again:

"Xianggong, you must not feel embarrassed because of what I just said, you just keep your usual style of doing things, just don't put too much pressure on yourself.

Just like this incident you encountered today, in fact, you don't have to embarrass yourself at all, although 500,000 taels of silver is a lot of money, but people want to borrow so much, you don't have to lend to others, even if it is a little less, as long as you give sincerity.

I believe that as long as our family makes a little bit of a scrape, it shouldn't be a problem for me to go back to my parents' house to borrow a little bit from my parents and take out 50,000 taels of silver.

When the time comes, you will hand over the 50,000 taels of silver to the man surnamed Han, which will not only let him see your sincerity, but also preserve the friendship between you, wouldn't this be the best of both worlds? ”

Originally, Zhou Ming was still hesitating, whether he should lie to Lin Ajiao, but as soon as he heard his mother say that he wanted to go back to his parents' house to borrow money, he suddenly made up his mind, in order to prevent his mother from going home and borrowing money from his father-in-law and mother-in-law in a low voice, he said that he was unwilling, and he would lie to his mother-in-law again.

"Lady, what you just said really touched me so much." Zhou Ming's opening remarks were honest, "I also understand your intentions, you have always been thinking about me and worrying about me."

But I can tell you clearly today, your husband is a man who stands up to the sky, I am outside, I have to rely on myself, even if I encounter a problem, I will not let you be a woman to worry about me, if I don't have this ability, it is better to eat soft rice at home. ”

Seeing Zhou Zhou Ming's words so domineering, Lin Ajiao was happy at the same time, but she was even more worried, because she knew in her heart that although her father-in-law was very capable, he was too sharp, and this kind of character was very easy to suffer in the officialdom of the imperial court.

"Xianggong, in fact, ......" Lin Ajiao wanted to say something, but Zhou Zhou Ming stretched out his hand and stopped her.

"Lady, I appreciate your kindness, but you really don't need to worry about it for me." Zhou Zhou Ming stood up, walked to the bed, lifted the quilt, and was about to lie down to sleep, while saying leisurely, "Let me tell you, your husband is wandering outside, relying on strength, those who give me face, and those who have a relationship with me, are all impressed by my strength."

Take Han Pingzhi as an example, why does he value me, a little head catcher? It's not that I think I have the strength and the future is limitless.

Don't say that I refute his face now and don't lend him money, even if I scold him in front of him, he won't dare to be angry with me. ”

Lin Ajiao's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe her father-in-law's words, thinking that he was bragging to comfort himself.

After seeing Lin Ajiao's eyes, Zhou Zhou Ming understood her thoughts, so he quickly explained: "Lady, I know, you must think I'm bragging, after all, from the perspective of common sense, how could an official as big as Lao Han be afraid of me?"

But in fact, this matter is very easy to explain, Lao Han has been in that official position for so long and has not been promoted, do you know why? ”

Lin Ajiao shook her head and said very honestly: "I don't know." ”

"It's because he didn't get a good chance to be promoted." Zhou Zhou Ming continued, "If a person with a high official position like him does not have a suitable opportunity to make great contributions, it is simply impossible to be promoted to an official.

And the case of the Northern State spy that I cracked just gave him a great opportunity to be promoted.

After understanding this truth, you should know if what I just said is bragging, right? ”

Lin Ajiao sat on the chair, rolled her eyes, and carefully thought about what Zhou Zhou Ming said just now, and then finally understood the truth.

"In this way, you won't offend the person surnamed Han by refusing to borrow money?" Lin Ajiao said thoughtfully.

"How dare he be angry with me? I lent him a guts. Zhou Ming said proudly, and the tone of his voice was unquestionable.

At this time, Lin Ajiao finally put her mind at ease, she stood up, walked to Zhou Ming's side, and smiled embarrassedly: "Xianggong, it seems that I was too worried just now." ”

Seeing this situation, Zhou Zhou Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, because he knew in his heart that if Lin Ajiao asked one more question, he might not be able to resist.
