Chapter 498: New Army Division
Chapter 499: New Military Division
Zhou Ma was attracted by his granddaughter's words: "Who could it be?" Who was nosy and gave him this idea?! β
Zhou Jinpu has not had much contact with outsiders recently. Since the news spread that he and his step-grandmother Mrs. Ma planned to dig the foot of the border army wall, he was confined at home by his father Zhou Shigong, and his former classmates and friends did not see each other, and every day he was either drunk and dreaming in his study, or scolding people with his wife and children. Originally, there were brothers and uncles and nephews in the clan who had a good relationship with him to visit him, but as his anger became heavier and his temper became more and more irritable, these fellow clansmen stopped coming to the door. When the third room of the Zhou family is completely closed, he can only entertain himself in his own yard. Then his wife was clamoring for a divorce, and the quarrels between the husband and wife occupied most of his energy.
If someone really gave him an idea and asked him to calculate Old Madam Ma, it would definitely not be relatives and friends outside. And he has been arguing with his wife Chen recently, and he has become an enemy. If it weren't for the Zhou family's three-room closed door and didn't let anyone out of the family, the Chen family would have moved back to their parents' house long ago. Even if she dispelled the idea of reconciliation now, Zhou Jinpu did not have any intention of forgiving her for betrayal, and did not intend to reconcile with her.
It can be seen that the person who came up with the idea is not an outsider, nor is it his wife. Could it be his children, or his servants?
Zhou Mashi recalled his henchmen, and doubted whether they were really so clever and capable: "Zhou Jinpu's brother is a straight man and a tendon, just ask him to do what he is told, don't expect him to have any good ideas." It's the one who follows ...... That person was originally the son of Zhou Jinpu's mother's companion, and he had been staying in charge of the marriage Zhuangzi, and when the A family allowed him to enter the house on an errand, he was fifteen or sixteen years old......
This time, he found the remnants of the Ah family, which shows that he does have some talent. In the past, Zhou Jinpu thought he was verbose, and he always liked to say words of admonition, and he didn't treat him very well, so he easily refused to ask him to go to the yard. This time, it is estimated that there is really no one to call him, so he was called. But if Zhou Jinpu didn't let him enter the East Courtyard, he wouldn't be able to see his master, so how could he persuade Zhou Jinpu to listen to him? β
When Zhou Jinpu called his brother and eldest entourage to the East Courtyard, he had already seen Mrs. Ma come back from the West Courtyard, and he must have had a plan at that time. Extrapolating from time, Chang Sui could not have been the one who made the plan.
Zhou Ma felt that these two Zhou Jinpu's henchmen didn't seem to be able to come up with ideas. So who else? It can't be those half-grown kids, right? Or is it the maid waiting in Zhou Jinpu's yard?
Zhou Ma was a little uneasy. If you don't find out who this person is, the other party has been staying by Zhou Jinpu's side, and I don't know how many bad ideas he will come up with. In the past, Zhou Jinpu was instigated by Mrs. Ma, and she did not block her stepmother. Now Mrs. Ma has fallen, but Zhou Jinpu's evil thoughts about his stepmother have not necessarily weakened. With a new helper, will he continue to calculate his stepmother?
When Zhou Ma thought of this, he felt restless. With Zhou Shigong's current importance to his eldest son, if Zhou Jinpu really wants to slander, she doesn't believe that Zhou Shigong will treat her stepfamily fairly, then won't she suffer again?
Zhou Ma twisted a handkerchief in his hand, his expression hateful. Seeing this, Ma couldn't help but say, "Eldest sister, what are you afraid of?!" You have shared hardships with your brother-in-law and have not made mistakes, so your brother-in-law will never divorce you! If he just scolds twice, you can bear it, and if you can't bear it, you can scold back, what can he do with you? As for Zhou Jinpu, as long as he didn't come up with that idea himself, he was still a fool. Fools, just throw it to your brother-in-law to discipline, you just have to worry about your own children and grandchildren. Jin Lin took the path of a military attachΓ© on the side, and Zhou Jinpu was not a person all the way, Zhou Jinpu couldn't hinder his future, so you can relax! β
Zhou Mashi sighed: "It's not that I'm thinking about it, it's that I have eaten too much and I'm scared." As soon as he saw that there were capable people around Jinpu, he was worried that he would be calculated. As long as the old man can be less biased towards Jinpu, he doesn't have to be so frightened, and he doesn't always have to be aggrieved by Jin Lin. β
Zhou Ma has been married into her husband's family for decades, and she has already fallen into a heart disease. Ma can only hate the eldest sister for iron and steel, but he can't persuade her to get rid of this problem, so he can only let her go.
As for whether Zhou Jinpu has a new army division by his side, Ma doesn't care. Zhou Jinpu in her impression actually has no real skills, and it all depends on his father Zhou Shigong's preference and belief in him. As long as Zhou Shigong is not confused, he can't handle his stepmother. Instead of being wary of the people around Zhou Jinpu, the eldest sister Zhou Ma might as well work her brother-in-law Zhou Shigong!
Just thinking of Zhou Shigong's actions, Ma couldn't help but shake his head again.
She said to Zhou Mashi: "Eldest sister, what Zhou Jinpu did, whether it was good or bad, should be notified to the side of the Zhenguo Mansion." Even if he found the remnants of Mrs. Ma, what is the fault of instigating the guards of the Guogong Mansion to help him release people? You, a mother, don't you pay compensation to the Guogong Mansion for your son, do you? β
Zhou Ma muttered in a low voice: "What does this have to do with the forehead?" It's not for him to do it, the master will send a letter to the long house, and if he wants to pay compensation, isn't it the master who will go......"
Zhou Yijun leaned into his grandmother's ear and whispered for a long time, and the expression on Zhou Ma's face changed: "Yumei, you are right!" It's time to go to the Duchess to make compensation. Zhou Jinpu is not sensible, and the master also indulges him, but he is not the ignorant person! β
Zhou Ma's waist pole slipped straight up again. The granddaughter gave her a good idea to sell it in front of the Duchess of Zhenguo. She doesn't have to say anything to belittle Zhou Jinpu, she just needs to tell the truth and make amends honestly. What if Zhou Shigong was unhappy afterwards? has a long room to support her, and he himself is weak first, and he never dares to show her face. And Zhou Jinpu, a stupid child raised by a sinner woman, doesn't want to ruin her reputation again! At that time, even if there are ten or hundreds of new military divisions around him, he will still honestly respect her as a mother!
Thinking so, Zhou Ma immediately sent Cai Luo to the Zhenguo Mansion to deliver the post. Anyway, it's all a family, and the situation is urgent, so there is no need to abide by any rules for being a guest. She went to visit the Duchess of Zhenguo in the afternoon, saving her long nights and dreams.
However, just in case, she continued to let people pay attention to the news from her husband's side, and saw that Zhou Jinpu had tossed something else.
When it was almost noon, Zhou Ma left his sister and grandson to eat at home, and he heard that his mother-in-law came to report, saying that Zhou Shigong had examined the two remaining rough girls in the West Courtyard, and only then did he know that they had concealed something before.
It turned out that after her henchmen and servants were arrested, Mrs. Ma had considered contacting the remaining manpower outside. The only thing she could use at that time was the two rough girls, so she bought them with the valuable jewelry in the jewelry box and asked them to help her send letters outside, and the recipient and the address were the one she later told Zhou Jinpu. Helplessly, the West Courtyard has been blocked, the two girls can't get out, and the letter has never been delivered. Mrs. Ma was thinking about finding an excuse to get rid of one of them, so that she could go out of the house to deliver the letter, but she was worried that if there was one less person, Zhou Shigong might not make up for anyone to come in, and there was a lack of people around her, so she would not take action for a long time.
When the couple of Zhenguo and Tu Tongzhi came to interrogate Mrs. Ma with a palace envoy, the two girls knew what good she had done, so they didn't dare to do anything for her. While they came into the house to guard her, they put the jewelry back. Mrs. Ma was so angry that she accepted Zhou Jinpu's "help".
Although the two girls didn't pass the letter, they didn't report it, and Zhou Shigong was also very angry, and felt more and more that his family was smart and decisive.
Zhou Mashi couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.
