Chun Nier just thought that Yi Ming must have forgotten his promise to her, so she was disheartened, desperate and helpless. She had no relatives in the world and no worries. She planned to go to the wilderness and secretly found the dagger. , this life.
Suddenly seeing Zhou Yiming appear, Chun Nier couldn't believe her eyes. Tears filled her eyes and she hugged Yi Ming's waist, fearing that he would suddenly disappear and ignore her.
Lin Ajiao appeared next, leaving Chun Nier even more at a loss.
Zhou Yiming noticed her embarrassment and immediately introduced: "Chun Ni'er, this is my wife, your sister-in-law. Don't be restrained. We will all be a family from now on. She is such a nice person. I won't be home from now on." , your sister-in-law will definitely take good care of you."
After hearing these words, Chuni felt an indescribable sadness in her heart, but she did not show it. Instead, she saluted Lin Ajiao very politely: "Sister-in-law, thank you for buying me the clothes."
"Why are you thanking me? This is what sister-in-law should do." Lin Ajiao hurriedly pulled Chunni'er into the carriage, and at the same time turned around and told Zhou Yiming, "Ms. sir, please keep an eye out while I put on new clothes for sister Chunni. Then we go home."
"okay."
Zhou Yiming agreed, turned his back to the carriage, and walked around the carriage, guarding every suspicious look, and at the same time using his vitality to detect whether there were any martial arts experts around him.
After Lin Ajiao and Chun Ni got on the carriage, she lowered the curtain in front of the carriage. She helped Chun Ni change into new clothes, folded the old clothes, and then opened the curtain of the carriage to let Chun Ni lean out.
"Ms. sir, what do you think of this new clothes?"
Zhou Yiming turned around and looked at her carefully, and had to admit that Chun Nier was really a beauty.
The shabby clothes she wore before could not hide Chun Nier's cute and dewy look. Now she wears this gorgeous new clothes, making her look even more glamorous and lovable.
"Yes, Miss Chunni is good-looking. She looks so good in this outfit. She is so beautiful."
Zhou Ming did not hesitate to praise him.
Chun Nier felt shy for a while, lowered her head with a red face, and got back into the carriage.
Lin Ajiao leaned forward, stretched out her hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. sir, how do you like it? Listen to me, right? I'm willing to admit defeat, take it."
Zhou Yiming coughed twice, took out the money from his sleeve, and put it obediently into Lin Ajiao's hand.
Just before they came here, they went to a tailor shop to buy clothes for Chunni. They both fell in love with a set of clothes, and both thought Chunni would look good on them. They wanted to buy both, but neither would let the other.
But the key point is that the two of them went out in a hurry and only had enough money to buy one set.
In desperation, the two people discussed and decided to give in. They bought the clothes that Lian Gillian liked. However, if Chun Nier didn't look good in it later, she would keep this set of clothes, and she would also have to buy Monday's clothes. Ming bought the suit of clothes he liked.
If Chuni looks good in this outfit, the loser will be Zhou Ming. Not only will he not buy the outfit he likes, but he will also give all his savings to Lin Ajiao.
Lin Ajiao, who won the bet, was very proud of herself: "It's up to you to do big things. From now on, don't get involved in small things like this. I'll just make the decision."
Zhou Yiming was helpless, bent down and bowed: "I obey, from now on, my food and clothing expenses will all depend on my wife."
The two joked for a while, and Zhou Yiming got into the carriage and went home directly.
Back home, Zhou Yiming and Lin Gillian introduced Chun Nier to their family.
The servants of the Zhou family were very disgusted when they saw another competitor coming, and they even showed it openly.
Zhou Ruhai and Mrs. Zhou liked Chun Nier very much. They thought the child was not only handsome, but also very smart with her smart eyes.
Zhou Yiming told his family in detail about Chun Nier's life experience. When it came to Chun Ni'er's grandma being killed and now having no relatives in the world, Mrs. Zhou was extremely sad and cried while holding Chun Ni'er.
"What a good child, but life is hard. Chun Ni'er, don't be sad. From now on, our family will be your family, Yiming will be your eldest brother, and the master and I will be your parents."
As a scholar, Zhou Ruhai has his own reserve and pride. Although he also likes the child Chuni, he is still a little reluctant when his wife directly wants to recognize her as his goddaughter.
Seeing that his old mother liked Chuni so much, a stone in Zhou Ming's heart finally fell to the ground. He was just afraid that his parents would not agree to keep Chuni. With his current financial situation, he wanted to settle Chuni outside. Son, we can’t do it yet.
It was a long night and many dreams. Zhou Yiming saw the right opportunity and quickly asked Chunni to kneel down: "Chunnier, why are you so stupid? Didn't you hear my mother say, does she want to recognize you as her goddaughter? Why don't you kneel down and call me mother. "
After Yi Ming's reminder, Chun Nier immediately reacted, knelt down quickly and said, "Mother, please, my daughter is being polite."
Mrs. Zhou had no intention of accepting this goddaughter. What she said just now was just a moment of excitement and she felt so sorry for Chun Nier.
At this time, Chunni directly recognized her as her godmother, and Mrs. Zhou was happy, but she felt that she accepted her goddaughter too quickly.
Zhou Ruhai saw that the raw rice had been turned into cooked rice. Even though he was a little reluctant, he had to give up and follow the trend and become a cheap godfather.
In fact, before taking Chun Nier home, Zhou Yiming was very worried. The reason was very simple. Although the conditions of the Zhou family were not as good as before, they were still a big family.
The relationship between the master and the servants is inherently delicate. If the master is incompetent, he will be fooled by the servants, let alone Chun Ni'er, who is new here.
If Chun Nier comes to the Zhou family and lives as a following person, her life will be very difficult. Although Yi Ming is confident that his wife will be very good to this child, and her parents will treat her well. The only thing What worried him was the attitude of the servants towards Chuni.
These servants have their own rules of life, and they also form cliques and even have their own class divisions.
With the protection of their master, after Chun Ni'er arrived, they didn't dare to do anything openly, but they would definitely stumble and bully Chun Ni'er secretly.
Yi Ming is busy with official duties and cannot be at home all the time. His parents are old and generous to his servants, and he cannot control them at all.
Lin Ajiao can control these servants, but she is too kind-hearted and does not have that cruelty at critical moments. Moreover, when Yi Ming is not at home, Lin Ajiao has to perform filial piety in front of his parents for him. She had to handle almost everything, and there was always something she couldn't take care of.
Chun Nier's life experience is pitiful enough. If she was bullied in the Zhou family for these reasons, Yi Ming felt that she had done bad things with good intentions.
Seeing Chunni recognize her mother as her godmother, Zhou Yiming understood that all problems were solved now.
With the identity of goddaughter as a talisman, no matter how courageous the servants are, they will not dare to bully Chun Nier.
After recognizing her goddaughter, the more Mrs. Zhou looked at Chunni, the more she liked her. She immediately took her back to her room and whispered.
The servants exchanged looks with each other. Although they were not convinced in their hearts, they all knew that Chun Ni'er would not be bullied easily in the future, otherwise she would die in an ugly way.
After lunch, Zhou Yiming called Laifu to the front yard alone and said straight to the point: "Laifu, you have been in charge of our family for more than ten years, and you also understand the rules of the Zhou family. I know that the people in our family will Among people, you are the leader, and they all listen to you."
Laifu understood that Yi Ming had something to tell him, and immediately said: "Master, you are the master and I am the slave. If you have any questions, just give me your orders. I will do my best to handle it."
Zhou Yiming nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a big deal. I brought Chuni back today, and you saw that the child is cute and cute. The old lady liked her at first sight and recognized her as her goddaughter.
I know that you servants always mess with new servants behind their backs and bully them.
I hope that this kind of thing will not happen in my family in the future, and I tell you, remember that Chun Ni'er is not a slave, nor a maid, she is my mother's goddaughter, my sister, you and others should be smarter.
If I hear the word "grievance" from her mouth in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless. "
Laifu had seen Zhou Yiming's methods before. He was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and quickly replied: "Don't worry, young master, such a thing will never happen. If anyone dares to bully the young lady, I, Laifu, will not let him go." "
Zhou Yiming patted him on the shoulder: "With your words, I feel relieved."
In order to take Chuni home, Zhou Yiming asked for half a day's leave from the Yamen. At this time, he arranged everything at home and went directly to the Yamen for work.
As soon as he walked to the gate of the Yamen, Zhou Yiming heard the noise inside.
"Oh, I've never seen so much silver before."
"If I had known I could get so much silver reward, I would have gone to the night watch team that night."
"Then you didn't tell me earlier. The night watch team was so short of manpower at that time. As long as you said hello to the leader, he would definitely let you go."
"If you don't go, you can still see so much money. It's addictive. If you really go, you will be dead now."
As soon as Zhou Ming entered the Yamen, a group of Yamen servants and police officers immediately surrounded him.
"Captain Zhou, the silver reward given to you by the imperial court has been distributed. There are tens of thousands of taels of silver, and they are all piled up in the back hall."
"Captain Zhou, you guys have received so much silver reward, shouldn't you treat everyone to a nice meal?"
"The food at Zuixianlou is good, Zhou Captou should think about it."
As soon as he heard that the reward money from the imperial court had come down, Yi Ming responded to the crowd's jokes and immediately went straight to the back hall, fearing what Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang might do if he arrived too late.
Of course, Zhou Ming's worries are unnecessary. The lesson he taught the two people last time was profound enough. Unless the two of them want to risk their own lives, they will never dare to take advantage of this batch of money.
Arriving at the back hall, Yi Ming went directly to find Deng Tong.
The room where Deng Tong worked was very large. As soon as Zhou Ming entered the room, he saw several large boxes placed on the floor. The boxes were all open, and the silver inside was shining.
It was the first time for even Yi Ming to see so much money, not to mention the little yamen servants in the yamen.
