"Why are you still standing here like a stone? Don't you think you have caused enough trouble?" Mrs. Zhou suddenly shouted hysterically at the servant, "Look at how angry our master is with you. Are you still standing here because you want to piss him off?"
The servant who escaped the disaster felt like he had been reborn. He did not feel aggrieved or angry at Mrs. Zhou's rebuke. He just felt that Mrs. Zhou, who had always been gentle and elegant, was at such a critical moment. time to become so shameless?
You know, the person who really made my master so embarrassed and unable to hold his head up was Mrs. Zhou herself.
It turned out that she was a good old man, so she didn't reflect on herself. Instead, she blamed others. It was a miracle that parents with such bad character could actually give birth to a hero like the young master.
Although he had many thoughts in his heart, this servant kept his head down and said nothing, silently enduring Mrs. Zhou's rebuke.
At this time, many servants had gathered outside the door of the study. These people were holding plates and bowls in their hands. Originally, they planned to enter the study and put the meals on the table, but the few servants who noticed something unusual were After being reminded, they came to the door of the study and heard a lot of noise inside, so they didn't dare to go in. They could only stay at the door and wait for it to quiet down before making plans.
Zhou Yiming took Lin Ajiao's hand and walked to the door of the study in a good mood. Seeing so many people gathered in front of the door, he and Lin Ajiao were stunned, wondering what was going on? The banquet has been prepared for so long, why haven't these servants finished preparing it? They have so many things on their hands, why don't they go inside?
"Master, young mistress."
The servants who gathered at the door of the study immediately saluted and said hello when they saw Zhou Yiming and Lin Gillian arriving.
Zhou Yiming and Lin Ajiao nodded one after another, and then Lin Ajiao couldn't help but ask: "What are you doing here? Why don't you go into the house? Didn't the young master already give you orders to organize the banquet? It's been taking so long , why haven’t you finished it yet?”
After hearing the young lady's question, all the servants looked at each other, but no one stood up to answer the question.
After seeing the expressions and performances of these servants, the smart Zhou Ming immediately realized that something was wrong. He asked everyone with a serious expression: "My young lady is asking you, why are you pretending to be deaf and dumb? What happened in the house?" What happened? Did the master and madam have a quarrel? "
Seeing Zhou Yiming's serious expression, the servants were frightened. One of them, a brave man, stood up tremblingly and cautiously replied: "To tell you what happened in the study, we don't know what happened.
It's just that after we brought our things here, we heard some noise inside, so we were cautious and didn't dare to go in. "
After hearing this answer, Zhou Yiming frowned and put his hand on his forehead, thinking to himself, what's bad, listening to this situation, it seems that his father and mother are quarreling again. Why are these two old men still so angry, not at all? Let yourself, the son, have peace of mind.
He was fearless outside, relying on his ability and intelligence to get along well, but when he came home and saw his father and mother losing their temper, he really had a headache and felt that there was nothing he could do.
If he hadn't been too hungry, Zhou Ming might not have chosen to enter the house because the pressure would have been too great. After all, if his father and mother quarreled too much, even if he wanted to persuade him, he, the son, would , and it’s hard to talk.
After being depressed, Zhou Yiming opened his eyes and found that everyone was staring at him expectantly. He knew in his heart that in the current situation, he was the only one who could solve the conflict between the two elders in the house. After all, those servants Even if they are usually respected by the two elders, at this juncture, they are so soft-spoken that no matter what they say, the two elders in the room will not listen.
As the daughter-in-law, Lin Ajiao had no choice. After all, she was a married outsider. Regardless of whether her parents would listen to her words or not, based on etiquette alone, she did not say anything. Because once she starts to persuade her parents, she might get a reputation of being disrespectful to her parents-in-law. Lin Ajiao, who is ice-snow and smart, has been cautious in everything since she married into the Zhou family, so she will definitely not take this trip into troubled waters. of.
Zhou Yiming coughed and said with a fake smile: "It's okay, don't worry, I will take care of everything.
I'll go in first to explore the way, and you should follow me, each doing his or her own business, and don't show any strange expression, otherwise it will only make things worse. "
Everyone nodded doubtfully.
Lin Ajiao quietly tugged on Zhou Ming's sleeve and whispered: "My husband, I won't go in, right? If my parents-in-law are really quarreling, if I, the daughter-in-law, go in, it will make them even more uncomfortable." "
In fact, it is very reasonable for Lin Ajiao to think like this. After all, as the daughter-in-law, she has a very special status. If her parents-in-law really get into a quarrel after entering the house, they will definitely be very embarrassed when they see her. of.
Zhou Yiming understood her thoughts, but he couldn't let her go. After all, he didn't know what was going on in the house. If his father and mother really got into trouble and he couldn't persuade her, Lin Ajiao would still be able to do it if she was present. Let your parents worry about their appearance so that they don't make too much trouble.
"That's not okay." Zhou Yiming said categorically, "Husband and wife are one, and no matter what time comes, you and I should advance and retreat together. Besides, I believe there is nothing big going on in the house. Even if there is something, After you and I go in, we will solve it smoothly."
Lin Ajiao didn't understand Zhou Ming's insistence on entering the house, but because of her trust in Zhou Ming, she didn't say anything and could only follow Zhou Ming into the house.
Looking at the study door, Zhou Ming suddenly felt a generous and tragic feeling before he stepped in.
After calming down, Zhou Yiming made a gesture to everyone, and then strode into the study.
The others followed closely behind, not daring to show any signs of neglect.
As soon as he entered the study room, Zhou Yiming smiled and said, "Oh, I can smell the aroma of this food from outside. When will dinner be served? I'm almost hungry!"
Lin Ajiao and all the servants who were following behind her were filled with admiration when they heard what Zhou Ming said, because as soon as Zhou Ming said these words, even if the conflict between the people in the room was serious, they would immediately get up. When it comes to adjusting the atmosphere, as long as the conflicting parties have a little bit of brains, they will definitely put an end to their past feud and make peace in front of everyone.
Zhou Ruhai was deeply saddened by his wife's words, and was depressed for a while. He could not get out of his low mood for a long time, so he remained dejected and did not say a word.
After seeing her master's behavior, Mrs. Zhou became even more angry. So before Yi Ming and the others entered the house, Mrs. Zhou had been sternly teaching the servant who made the mistake and never let him go. Meaning, she seemed to want to atone for her sins in front of her master in this way.
Zhou Ruhai and Mrs. Zhou were both startled when they suddenly heard Yi Ming's voice. They both looked towards the door, and saw Yi Ming quickly walking into the room, followed by a large group of servants. They all had their meals.
Zhou Ruhai and Mrs. Zhou glanced at each other. They both knew in their hearts that these servants must have heard the scolding, so they kept gathering outside the door and did not dare to come in.
The two of them shook their heads at the same time, feeling regretful in their hearts, because just now they were immersed in their own little emotions and completely forgot that there were people outside. It would be good now. The matter they had just been arguing with a servant might have been exposed by the people in the house. The servants knew.
When Zhou Yiming came in, he had already heard his mother scolding the servant. Only then did he realize that it was not his father and mother who were having a tantrum in the house, but they were dealing with the servant.
Zhou Yiming had some doubts in his heart for a moment. His parents were both well-educated and sensible people. Generally, if a servant made a small mistake, they would not only not punish him, but would also comfort him with kind words. Why were they suddenly so harsh on a servant today? Did this person really commit something treasonous?
Impossible. Although there has been a black sheep like Laifu in our family, this is just a special case. The Zhou family has strict family rules and the servants in the family are usually very honest. Even a bad guy like Laifu, if not If his father was backing him, he would not dare to act recklessly.
After thinking about it, Zhou Yiming felt that there must be something fishy about this matter. It was very likely that his parents had some abnormal mentality after experiencing huge emotional ups and downs, so they had trouble with a servant because of some trivial matters.
After having this idea in his mind, Zhou Yiming knew that no matter whether his guess was correct or not, the conflict between his father and mother and a servant should not be made public. He could only deal with it coldly and wait for the matter to pass before asking himself in private. My father and mother, what happened?
Zhou Yiming looked calm and said in a gentle tone to the servant who was being scolded: "Hey, everyone else is busy outside, but you are standing here not working. What do you mean?"
After the servant heard what Zhou Yiming said, he felt aggrieved and thought to himself, Master, do you think I am willing to be scolded here? I can't help myself. I want to leave, but would you like to ask the master and his wife if they agree?
He had already suffered a lot of grievances. After seeing Yi Ming, he felt like he had seen a savior. He wanted to tell Yi Ming all his grievances in front of everyone and let him do justice for him.
But when he was about to speak, he suddenly changed his mind and realized that he really did something wrong at the beginning.
