Huan'er thought to herself, my uncle is usually smart, thoughtful, and very eloquent. Why, at such a critical moment, when he saw the old lady so sad, he not only didn't try to persuade her, but became sad along with her?
The old lady is old and her health is not good. In addition, she was frightened last night and has been worried until now. She is looking forward to her uncle's return and can't help feeling happy. This kind of emotional ups and downs, even if Ordinary young people may not be able to bear it, let alone an old man.
Although Huan'er had a good impression of Yi Ming in her heart, she had to admit that Yi Ming's reaction at this time was very confused. He should stabilize the old lady's mood immediately and let her calm down. It would be better if she could eat Order something and then slowly resume.
Huan'er became very anxious when she saw that Yi Ming had not reacted. She winked at Yi Ming several times, but Yi Ming didn't even look at her. In desperation, she had no choice but to take courage and speak out to persuade the old lady in person. , although this is a big risk to a certain extent. After all, the old lady has just met her precious son, and she must have a lot to say to him. If she interrupts suddenly, she may make her unhappy.
But there are both risks and opportunities in this matter. If Huan'er can successfully persuade the old lady, it will not only make the old lady no longer sad, but also show off her skills in front of Yi Ming, leaving a deep impression on him. Even if she can't As long as he can change anything, as long as he can remember his name, Huan'er is already satisfied.
"Old madam, isn't the young master back?" Huan'er said carefully while wiping Madam Zhou's tears, "This should be a happy thing, why are you sad here again.
According to me, please stop being like this. We should be happy. Otherwise, if you break down crying because of sadness, the whole family will feel bad, and if outsiders see it, they will laugh at us.
If your health is really bad, it will also make our young master bear the name of unfilial piety. It will be really bad then, because this dynasty governs the world with filial piety, and those who serve as officials and murderers are all filial sons.
Our young master is so outstanding and has a bright future. If he really has the reputation of being a rebellious son, wouldn't you be harming him?
By then, not only will our young master's future be completely ruined, but it will also delay your ability to become a first-class wife. "
Huan'er's words were sincere and full of truth, and every word he said was so playful that after hearing it, Mrs. Zhou's heart suddenly became enlightened, and all her aggrieved and sad emotions suddenly disappeared, and she was even replaced by them. Huan'er was amused by the playful way she spoke.
"Haha, you are a kid with sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, and you know everything. When you say this, I feel sorry for my son, and I feel sorry for my son, right?" Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but laugh at first, and then deliberately said sternly He put on a face and pretended to be angry.
When Huan'er said those words, she was always cautious in her heart, for fear that if she said something wrong, she would be scolded and punished. After all, she was just a little maid in the Zhou family, with no status, and no one except her own lady could really It hurt her so much. If she really angered Mrs. Zhou this time, and the lady was away and no one spoke for her, there would be no good consequences.
Thinking of these terrible consequences, Huan'er spoke very slowly. While talking, he carefully observed the facial expressions of Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Ming, hoping to find clues from their expressions to judge himself. Whether she should continue speaking or not, even before she said each word, she measured it with a ruler in her heart.
Such hard work was not in vain. The moment she heard Mrs. Zhou laugh out loud, Huan'er finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although Mrs. Zhou quickly put on a straight face and pretended to be angry and questioned her, Huan'er knew in her heart that This anger was pretended, the old lady's knot in her heart had actually been resolved, and she was just teasing herself with these words.
"Master, look at our old lady, are you still being reasonable?" Even though he knew that Mrs. Zhou was pretending to be angry, Huan'er still had to pretend to be unaware and continue to accompany her to finish the play. , "What I just said was obviously for her good, and I was afraid that she would be too sad and hurt her body. As a result, I spent a long time thinking about it and my words were almost worn out. Not only did the old lady not appreciate it, she even blamed me. .
Young Master, you are the most fair. Please give me your opinion on this. "
Seeing Huan'er's anxious and aggrieved look, Mrs. Zhou suddenly felt happier. She smiled and said: "Haha, little girl, you were smart all your life, but you were confused for a moment.
The young master is my son. Even if you are right, do you think my son will uphold justice for you? "
Zhou Yiming had just been infected by the old lady's emotions, and thought of his old father and daughter-in-law looking for him outside, and how much suffering he had endured. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel sad, and fell into a sad mood. He even forgot that his first task was to quickly stabilize his old mother's mood and not let her be immersed in sad emotions.
Instead of opening his mouth to persuade his old mother and trying his best to make her happy, he stood aside and became sad together with the old woman.
At this moment, seeing the maid Huan'er's few words made Mrs. Zhou laugh, Yi Ming suddenly realized how stupid he had just been. On the one hand, he was grateful to Huan'er, but on the other hand, he also felt that this little maid was really not simple. Waiting for him When your daughter-in-law comes back, you must praise this little maid in front of her so that your daughter-in-law can treat her better in the future.
"You two, please stop arguing. You are both right. I am the only one who is wrong. Can't you do it?" Zhou Yiming knew that he was facing an unsolvable knot, so he did not stupidly try to give it to both of them. I was reasonable, but I just carried it all with a smile on my face.
This sentence reminded Mrs. Zhou and Huan'er, and they both said in unison: "This is really right."
As soon as these words were spoken, all three people present laughed.
Only then did Zhou Yiming feel completely relaxed, because he knew very well that the one in the family who was in the worst health was his mother. As long as she was safe, the others would recover quickly even if they were frightened.
The three of them chatted for a while, and Mrs. Zhou suddenly remembered something important: "Ming'er, go find your father and daughter-in-law. They have been looking for you since last night, and they haven't come back yet. Home, and there is no news at all. Now you are back, but they don’t know about it. If you don’t look for it, you don’t know when they will come back.”
Zhou Yiming felt that these words made sense. He was not sure about his old father's side, but he knew his wife very well. If she could not find him, Lin Ajiao would never come back easily. Even if she came back, she would definitely be His body couldn't hold on any longer, so he was carried back.
"Mom, don't worry, I'll go right away."
Zhou Yiming replied and was about to turn around and go out to look for his old father and wife when he suddenly heard a strange noise.
Zhou Yiming immediately became alert because he was not sure where the sound came from. If the thieves from the North came here to seek revenge, the consequences would be disastrous.
Although his own martial arts cultivation is at a certain level, the thieves in the North are hiding in the dark. They may launch attacks in unexpected ways at any time, and this is very passive for the defender. After all, you cannot kill all the enemies. Even if all the weaknesses are guarded, it is impossible to know in advance how the enemy will launch an attack.
What's even more troublesome is that Zhou Yiming doesn't know how many thieves from the North are coming this time. If there are too many, he will be unable to defeat four people with just two fists. Even if the thieves from the North are lower in martial arts than him, if there are too many, If so, then they can use wheel fighting, which will tire him to death.
And the most important thing is that Yi Ming now has two family members around him. Both of them are women, and they have no knowledge of martial arts and no ability to fight back. Not only can they not help him when facing the thieves from the North, Any busyness will become a drag on himself, distracting him from protecting them during the battle.
If we are already outnumbered and Zhou Ming distracts himself from protecting Mrs. Zhou and the others, then Zhou Ming will have no chance of winning and will have no choice but to be slaughtered. Being defeated is only a matter of time.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yiming couldn't help but gnashed his teeth in anger. He finally understood why these northern thieves did not attack him on the road, because he had no worries on the road. If they really wanted to fight, those northern thieves might not be able to take advantage. .
As the saying goes, the most terrifying enemy is the enemy who is not afraid of life and death, and Yi Ming can reach this state every time he fights. However, at such times before, there was no one he cared about, even if Lin A Jiao appeared, but she was not a burden. Instead, she saved Yi Ming's life at the most critical moment.
But at this moment, the situation completely changed. In order to protect his old mother and little maid Huan'er, Yi Ming was not only afraid of death, but also afraid of being defeated. After all, after being defeated, the final result waiting for him was still death.
"Despicable and shameless dog thief!"
Zhou Yiming cursed secretly in his heart. Although he was extremely worried, he remained calm on the surface, for fear that his emotions would scare his old mother and Huan'er.
Although Huan'er's hearing was not as sensitive as Yi Ming's, she still heard the strange noise. She was startled and hurriedly leaned next to Mrs. Zhou and said in horror: "Old lady, did you hear it? What is this sound?" ?”
Mrs. Zhou: "Uh..."
"Mom, Huan'er, don't be afraid, it's okay." Zhou Ming turned around and tried his best to comfort my mother and the little maid, "No matter what happens, I'm here.
Huan'er, you keep an eye on my mother here. I'll go out and have a look. Before I come back, you and my mother must not leave this room. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yiming turned around and ran out.
