Mrs. Zhou and the two little maids strongly disagreed with Zhou Ming's statement, because after thinking for a long time, they still did not feel that their master did this with good intentions. Instead, they felt that he was irresponsible, because if he really wanted to experience As for the young master, at least he shouldn't go into the house. At least he should stay with the young master and give him some guidance.
But what did my master do at that time?
Not only did he not give any advice or guidance, but he just waved his hands and left in anger, leaving the mess directly to the young master, completely regardless of whether he could handle it or not. Even his own master did not worry about whether the young master would mess up the matter. What's worse, after all, although the young master has special skills, he is still a young man, and he is very likely to do some irreversible things when his head is hot.
When Zhou Yiming first put a high hat on himself, Zhou Ruhai didn't understand his mentality at all. Now after hearing what Zhou Ming said, he finally understood that his son had guessed his own thoughts, and he was afraid that I felt sad, so I deliberately said these words to comfort myself, hoping to make myself feel better.
After thinking about this, Zhou Ruhai couldn't help but feel ashamed. He had completely ignored the feelings of others and was immersed in his own little emotions, which not only affected everyone's meal, but even his own behavior was incompatible with his son's noble and upright performance. He looked even more dwarfed by comparison, not like a real man at all.
After realizing the seriousness of the problem, Zhou Ruhai was stunned at first, and then after thinking about it several times, he still couldn't think of a way to deal with the predicament at hand, because there were two ways in front of him at the moment. One was to break the skylight and speak out, and put himself in front of him just now. Speak out your dark inner thoughts frankly. In this way, you can win everyone's understanding and at the same time save your own dignity.
Although this method can completely solve the current dilemma, the risk is also very high. If the family's ideological level cannot reach that level, they will not only not understand how much burden they will have to bear if they confess this dark psychology. If you don't understand yourself, you may also criticize yourself a lot, which will be troublesome.
Although he knew in his heart that his son Bingxue was smart, even if he did that, he would definitely understand his painstaking efforts and would not blame himself, but it was hard for others to say.
If such a brave approach only wins the forgiveness of his own son, what's the use? After all, if everyone in the Zhou family misunderstood me, how could I hold my head high at home in the future? And even if he didn't care about the servants in the family, he was not sure about his own wife.
After all, his dark psychology just now was because he was competing with his son, and his son was Mrs. Zhou's heart. If she were to know about his dark psychology, she might be the first to not forgive him.
After thinking of so many serious consequences, Zhou Ruhai rejected the first way. So now there was only one way to go in front of him, and that was to go down the steps given by Yi Ming and shamelessly Zhou Yiming took all the credit and thanks he gave himself into his pocket. Although it was inevitable that he would feel sorry for his son, the situation was urgent and he had no other choice.
Zhou Ruhai pretended to be relaxed and took a sip of wine, and then said happily to Zhou Ming: "Oh? Am I being modest? Why don't I know at all? Son, please tell me, why am I being humble? "
Zhou Ruhai's answer shocked Mrs. Zhou and others. Everyone felt that their master was too shameless. Maybe the young master was just being polite, but in the end the master meant to accept everything. Did he mean to train the young master just now? Hasn't he figured it out yet?
When this person gets old, he will inevitably become a little confused and decline in all aspects of ability. This kind of thing is a natural law and everyone understands it. But like my master, who is both confused and shameless, it is really It's a bit unforgivable.
After all, when the young master cleaned up Laifu in the yard just now, he relied entirely on his own ability. It would be really ugly for the master to take away his credit like this.
Zhou Yiming didn't mind his father's shameless look at all. After all, he didn't care about a small contribution like cleaning up Laifu. What he valued most was the harmony of the family atmosphere and not to worry about his own career in the future. When you are struggling, your family members hold you back.
"Dad, since you asked that, then I will ignore your original intention of hiding your merit and fame, and I will just say whatever you want." Before getting to the essence of the problem, Zhou Yiming once again described himself as an old man. Dad praised him again, and then continued, "In the yard just now, although you were so angry with Laifu and then walked away, on the surface, it seemed that you were helpless against Laifu, but in fact it was all Illusion.”
Mrs. Zhou and the two little maids beside her thought that their master was being shameless and trying to steal the young master's credit. However, after hearing what Yi Ming said, these people gradually relaxed their stance and became confused. Said, is what the young master said true? If the master really has this intention, it is really a long-term plan. In order to train the young master's skills, he does not hesitate to bear the reputation of incompetence. Although they are father and son, it is really difficult for the master to sacrifice so much for his son.
Lin Ajiao sat next to Zhou Ming and listened to him attentively. On the surface, she looked like she was listening with interest, but in fact, she had already figured out the whole story through what Zhou Ming said. , knowing that Yi Ming did this just to appease her father-in-law, she naturally knew whether her father-in-law had ever played such a big game.
As Zhou Ruhai listened to Zhou Ming's story, his face became redder and redder, and at the same time he felt very panicked. After all, he knew best whether what Yi Ming said was true or false.
"Illusion? What do you mean?" Zhou Ruhai had actually understood what Zhou Ming meant a long time ago. The reason why he asked knowingly was because he wanted Zhou Ming to explain the matter more clearly so that everyone here could understand.
Zhou Yiming didn't show anything strange on the surface, but he smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking that his father was too interesting. I explained that I was trying to cover up his ugliness, but he took it openly and seriously. It was really not at all like that. I'm used to it.
"Yes, it's just an illusion." Zhou Ming put aside the distracting thoughts in his heart and continued, "Dad, you may be able to deceive other people with this trick, but you will never be able to deceive my eyes.
You have been an official in the imperial court for so many years. What scenes have you never seen? What kind of villains have you not dealt with? A dog slave like Laifu may be a nuisance to others, but to you, he is nothing worth mentioning.
As long as you want to deal with him, you have plenty of ways. The reason why you didn't do this is because you wanted to leave this opportunity to me, and you wanted me to take advantage of this opportunity to make a contribution and take over the family affairs. "
Mrs. Zhou and the two little girls, the more they listened to Zhou Ming's words, the more reasonable they felt. After Zhou Ming finished speaking, the three of them all cast admiring glances at their master.
The change in Mrs. Zhou's heart was the most complicated. Previously, when she saw her master helpless with Laifu and went back to the study to be depressed, although she accompanied her master to advance and retreat together and returned to the study together, in her heart, she felt sorry for her master. He was a bit complaining. After all, what he did was completely irresponsible. If his son did something drastic, the two of them would regret it for the rest of their lives.
It is precisely because of this worry that although Mrs. Zhou is in the study, she has been thinking about Zhou Ming in the yard and praying for him, hoping that he can successfully handle the difficult matter of Laifu.
Although it was later proven that Mrs. Zhou's worries were unnecessary, deep down in her heart, she had never forgiven her master and was very disappointed with his behavior of running away from the battle.
It was only at this moment, when Mrs. Zhou heard Yi Ming tell her master's good intentions, that Mrs. Zhou suddenly understood and understood her master's inner difficulties.
She couldn't help but ask Zhou Ruhai immediately: "Master, is what my son said true? Did you really just leave him alone just to train him?"
After listening to Zhou Yiming's touching words, Zhou Ruhai almost burst into tears on the spot, because he really didn't expect that his son would be so filial. In order to make him happy, this boy would not hesitate to give all his credit to himself. This filial piety made Zhou Ruhai feel that all the hard work he had done for his son was not in vain.
Seeing his wife suddenly asking this emotionally, Zhou Ruhai deliberately pretended to be embarrassed and said: "What's the point of asking? You said that I am a father, no matter how incompetent I am, I can bear to let a child take my place." Do I solve problems?
If you were smarter, you wouldn't ask me this stupid question.
It's just that I really didn't expect that our son's observation ability is so strong. I have hidden my thoughts deeply enough, but he still found out. It seems that my son has really grown up and will not need you and me in the future. Worry. "
After saying these words, Zhou Ruhai picked up the wine glass and drank it down happily.
After hearing such a reply, Mrs. Zhou was extremely happy. Her previous disappointment in her master suddenly disappeared. She was even blaming herself in her heart, feeling that she should not have misunderstood her master in that way. .
Seeing his father's shameless look, Zhou Yiming almost laughed, but he held it back at the last moment. He drank a glass of wine, suppressed the urge to laugh, and then said a few high-sounding words. , which livened up the atmosphere.
Then the other servants finished their work and all sat down at the table. From last night to now, most of these servants have been looking for Zhou Ming. It can be said that most of them have not even scratched the surface.
