Chapter 269: Acting on Orders
Seeing that Lin Ajiao was not afraid of what she said, Zhou Zhou Ming was very relieved, and at the same time he thought to himself, if there is no daughter-in-law at home, I really don't dare to leave casually, after all, those thieves in the northern country are ruthless, and if they want to implement a revenge plan, their families will be very dangerous.
He took Lin Ajiao's hand and said with a grateful face: "Lady, fortunately I have you at home, otherwise I wouldn't dare to go out."
This time I went out to run errands, and I may not come back very late, if my father and mother are worried, you must persuade them for me, don't let them be too anxious. ”
Lin Ajiao nodded, although her heart was full of reluctance, she still nodded stubbornly and agreed: "Xianggong, I know, I will take good care of my father, don't worry about the family, do what you should do, we will wait for you to come back." ”
After telling Lin Ajiao, Zhou Zhou Ming turned around and walked out of the room, Lin Ajiao followed closely behind, and the two of them went straight to the front yard.
The people in the front yard were already busy in the yard, and after everyone saw the young master and the young grandmother, they all greeted each other warmly.
"Young master, early."
"Young master and young grandmother, you guys got up so early."
Because there were important things to deal with, Zhou Ming and Lin Ajiao just nodded to these subordinates along the way, and did not speak.
When I came to the study, as soon as I entered the door, Zhou Ming said, "Who is looking for me?" ”
The two messengers stood aside, thinking that after Lin Ajiao went, it would take a long time to wake up Zhou Ming, so during this time, the mood of the two of them relaxed a little, and they took advantage of this time to keep thinking about what methods they should use to avoid being punished if Zhou Zhou Ming was really angry for a while.
After thinking about it, neither of them thought of any good way, but just when the two of them were worried, Zhou Zhou Ming suddenly came, which made the two of them scared and very caught off guard.
The two of them took two steps forward, then bowed to Zhou Ming and said respectfully: "Lord Zhou, the two of us are hereby invited to go back to the yamen to discuss important matters on the order of Inspector Deng. ”
After Zhou Zhou Ming saw the two people, he didn't pay attention to them, he first greeted his father and mother, and then turned around and looked at the two poor people carefully.
He didn't know these two poor people, but he had an impression of both of them, these two boys were marginal figures in the Chengnan Inspection Yamen, and they might not even have the qualifications to talk to Zhou Ming, so he looked a little surprised at the first time.
"I was busy for a day and a night yesterday, I was almost exhausted, I easily seized a chance to take a good rest at home, why did Lord Deng send you to call me so early? He doesn't care about my life or death at all. Although he had already decided in his heart to follow these two poor people back to the yamen quickly, Zhou Zhou Ming still showed a very reluctant look, because he wanted to use this way to leave a bad impression on these two poor people, so that they could remember it for a long time, otherwise in the future, as soon as he encountered a big fart in the yamen, he would be called back, even if he was not tired to death, he would have to die of annoyance in the end.
The two messengers saw that Zhou Ming was showing signs of anger, so they immediately knelt on the ground and explained desperately: "Lord Zhou, why did Inspector Deng call you back to the yamen, the two of us don't know, the two of us are just acting on orders, please don't embarrass the two of us." ”
Zhou Ruhai and Mrs. Zhou also understand their son's character, they are afraid that their son will be angry, and if they really do something to these two bad people, it will cause big trouble, although these two bad people have low official positions and low status, but after all, it is human life, and their son's martial arts cultivation is so high, if they do it to these two ordinary people, they may not be able to save their lives.
Zhou Ruhai hesitated to persuade Zhou Ming, but just when he couldn't make up his mind, Mrs. Zhou had already begun to act.
I saw Mrs. Zhou slowly stand up, walked to Zhou Ming's side, and whispered in his ear: "Son, what are you angry with these two messengers?" The two of them are also poor people, and there is no way to come to our house to invite you back.
If you are angry, you go back to the yamen and inspect with that Deng, as the so-called unjust debtor has the owner, don't be angry with these two innocent people. ”
Lin Ajiao was also worried that Zhou Zhou Ming would do something drastic, so she blocked Zhou Zhou Min in front of her for the first time, wanting to prevent accidents from happening in this way.
After seeing the reaction of his wife and daughter-in-law in the house, Zhou Zhou Ming smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking to himself What impression did I leave on my father and daughter-in-law? Why is it that when I get angry, they are afraid that I will lose control of my emotions? Am I a madman who can't control my emotions in their minds?
He smiled helplessly, and quickly lowered his voice and explained to Mrs. Zhou: "Old lady, why are you still serious? I'm so angry, it's all about scaring them, otherwise, if they encounter something bad in the future, they will come to my house to find me, so will I still have a good life? ”
After hearing these words, Mrs. Zhou realized in her heart that Zhou Ming's angry look just now was all pretended.
"That's good, it's the same when you go back to the yamen, you must be calm when you encounter things, and you must not be rash." After understanding Zhou Ming's good intentions, Mrs. Zhou took the opportunity to open her mouth and instructed two words.
Lin Ajiao stood not far in front of Zhou Ming, so when she heard the conversation between him and Mrs. Zhou, she felt a lot more at ease.
After resolving the misunderstanding in his old mother's heart, Zhou Ming said to the two poor people angrily: "Did I say I blame you? You two kneel pretty fast, it's really cheap.
Hurry up and stand up, and don't say that you are from the south of the city to inspect the yamen outside, otherwise I will feel ashamed. ”
The two messengers were kneeling on the ground and were uneasy, not knowing how Zhou Ming would clean them up later, and suddenly heard Zhou Ming let them stand up, and both of them had a feeling of being reborn in their hearts, so that Zhou Zhou Ming scolded them at the end, and neither of them listened to them.
didn't have time to pay attention to these two poor people, Zhou Zhou Ming hurriedly walked in front of his father, and then said very seriously: "Dad, it seems that something big must have happened in the yamen, I have to go back quickly, everything at home, please worry about it." ”
Zhou Zhou Ming did this with good intentions, because he felt that he was too much of a limelight yesterday, in comparison, his father's face was almost lost, if he didn't give his father enough face at this moment, not only would there be a gap in the hearts of the two people, but once his father broke the can and ignored the affairs of the family, it would be bad.
After all, most of Zhou Ming's time and energy are now focused on the outside career, and it is difficult for him to take care of things at home, in case in this case, the father will leave things at home, and there will soon be many problems at home, although his wife and daughter-in-law are very virtuous, and it is not impossible for them to manage this family, but many things, it is still very inconvenient for women to deal with them.
It is based on the above considerations that Zhou Ming said such things to his father in front of outsiders.
When Zhou Zhou Ming was talking to the two poor people, Zhou Ruhai had been sitting on the chair drinking tea, although he tried his best to show a leisurely appearance, but he was actually very uncomfortable in his heart.
Because of the picture in front of him, he suddenly felt that he was a failure, after all, he had been an official outside for decades, but during this period, there were very few people who came to the mansion to find him, and in recent years, there were almost none.
On the other hand, his son Zhou Ming, this kid entered the yamen as an errand in just a few months, but in these few months, he has become very popular, not only has made several great achievements in a row and has become the number one celebrity in the world, but also the people who usually come to the house to find him are endless.
The huge contrast between the two people made Zhou Ruhai, the father, very uncomfortable, and at the same time under great pressure, because he knew in his heart that if his son continued to develop according to this momentum, he would probably become the important minister relied on by the emperor today, although such a result would restore the Zhou family to its former glory, but Zhou Ruhai was also very worried that once his son achieved such extraordinary achievements, would he still have his father in his eyes? This is a very difficult question to determine.
Just when Zhou Ruhai was bothered by this question, he looked up and suddenly looked, and found that after Zhou Zhou Ming had reprimanded the two poor people, he slowly walked over to his side.
Zhou Ruhai was a little nervous for the first time, he was afraid that Zhou Zhou Ming would take the opportunity to find his own fault, and complain about why he didn't stop those two poor people.
Just when he didn't know how to deal with it, Zhou Zhou Ming suddenly spoke, entrusting himself with the affairs of his family, and he was humble and calm throughout the whole process of speaking.
After hearing this, Zhou Ruhai almost jumped up with joy, because he understood that if his son could say this, it proved that he still had a place in his heart.
Zhou Ruhai hurriedly put down the teacup, took out the style of being a father, and said to Zhou Ming seriously: "Son, you can rest assured about the affairs of the family, there is me."
If you can't go home in time because you have something to deal with, you must ask someone to send a letter to your home, and don't let your daughter-in-law and your mother worry too much about you. ”
"Yes, my son knows." Zhou Ming gave a salute, "Then I'll go." ”
Zhou Ruhai nodded, a sour feeling surged in his heart inexplicably, he understood that he was reluctant to leave Zhou Ming.
Zhou Zhou Ming then said goodbye to his wife and daughter-in-law, and after all these things were done, he shouted loudly outside: "Laifu, prepare the carriage, we will go to the yamen immediately." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the study was stunned for a moment.
