Wei Changying always believed that what a steady and capable person like Huang said would be unreasonable, so when Huang mentioned this matter, although he still felt that Jiang Zheng was too old for He, he still remembered it in his heart.
When Mr. He brought the steamed lotus seed cake, Wei Changying hinted to Mr. Huang to leave first, leaving only Mr. He in front of him. While he was stuttering, he asked Mr. He seemingly unintentionally: "Aunt He, what do you think about Jiang?" How is this person?"
He was glared at by Huang yesterday because he was very disrespectful when he mentioned Jiang Zheng, and was later scolded by Huang in private. He was someone whom both Wei Zhang and Ying respected, but she, the wet nurse, looked down on him, and now she was not Wei. When Chang Ying was the eldest lady at home, no one dared to say anything with Mrs. Song's favor. Now Wei Changying is a wife in the Shen family, and Shen Zangfeng, who especially loves his wife, will leave the capital to work in Bianting. This is the time when Wei Changying has lost his support both internally and externally and needs to be careful - if outsiders hear this, they might It's useless to talk about Chief Wei Ying, even the wet nurse around him can't stop him.
Mr. He had always been loyal to the Chief of Guards Ying. He mentioned earlier that Jiang Zheng was used to scolding him when he was in Fengzhou. He was a little frightened after being reminded by Mr. Huang, and now he was thinking about how to make up for it.
So after hearing what Wei Changying said, he said without thinking: "Jiang Wei is loyal to the young lady, kind-hearted, and highly skilled in martial arts. He is an excellent person."
When Wei Changying heard this, he almost dropped the lotus seed cake in his hand, and thought: "Oh my God! Does Aunt He really have any interest in Uncle Jiang? After so many years, I have only listened to my aunt scolding Uncle Jiang, and I have become accustomed to it. , never noticed it?”
She was surprised and stared at He in a daze.
This was the first time that Mr. He praised someone he had been scolding like this. Seeing this, he felt a little embarrassed. She thought to herself that she wanted to make up for it, but she had gone too far. No wonder the young lady was suspicious - thinking about this, a slight smile appeared on her face. Yihong felt that she was a bit old, and it was really unworthy of her status as a steward to be so irritable in her work.
The blush on Wei Changying's face made him more and more sure of Zhu Lei's guess. He pinched the lotus seed cake and was stunned for a moment before he regained his composure and said: "Aunt He, you... what do you think of Zhu Lei?" She said. I originally wanted to ask Jiang Zheng directly, but I felt that since He has a temperament like "scold those who don't like him, and scold those who like him", it would be better to ask more tactfully. In case He was shy or out of habit, he would curse Jiang Zheng and find it difficult to continue his words.
If the He family is interested in Jiang Zheng and loves the house as much as the bird, but if it is not the case, considering the person He is, he will definitely not have anything nice to say about Zhu Lei, who is very good at what he does and what is bad about him... This is what Wei Changying thinks.
However, after hearing this, Mr. He thought: "How could the young lady ask about Zhu Lei? Yes, although this Zhu Lei is the disciple of the man named Jiang who killed a thousand swords, and he is a good guy, but the man named Jiang is very skilled in martial arts." It's really good. This guy is so valued by Jiang, so he must be very skilled. Do you want to conquer this guy?"
She felt that someone like Zhu Lei, who was young, good at martial arts and seemed naive, could always be useful, so she nodded and said, "He seems to be a loyal and honest person." She also thought that Wei Changying would definitely like Zhu Lei. Still because of Jiang Zheng, he added, "After all, he is Jiang Guard's disciple, so he is expected to be loyal to the young lady."
When these words reached Wei Changying's ears, of course it turned out that He was changing his ways to speak to Zhu Lei...
Sighing deeply, Wei Changying felt infinitely unbelievable and annoyed at his hindsight. He also felt that Zhu Lei was truly prophetic and had lightning-like eyesight. He sighed: "Zhu Lei is indeed good and very discerning."
Mr. He always followed her, so he said casually: "What the young lady said is true."
Wei Changying felt that the He family's testing was almost over now - the wet nurse and the tutor were both his own to Wei Changying. Of course, the wet nurse would be closer, so if Jiang Zheng and Zhu Lei were the only ones who had this intention, the He family would If he didn't agree, Wei Changying would not agree to this matter.
But now He himself has revealed this meaning...
Wei Changying decided to call Mrs. Huang and ask her to hint Jiang Zheng to take the initiative.
Mrs. Huang heard Wei Changying say with emotion: "What my aunt said is really right. I didn't expect that Zhu Lei would have such sharp eyes when he looked at a rough man! I haven't noticed it in so many years, but he actually saw it." You have to understand! I feel really ashamed to have delayed them like this!" Since he had no doubts, he said: "Jiang Weiwei has never been married. If Sister He marries him, it will be a serious marriage, and it will be better than those outside who want to continue their marriage. Manage things decently.”
"It's better for the man to take the initiative in such matters." Wei Changying explained, "Auntie has to take care of this matter. Tomorrow, I will send some food to Uncle Jiang and run errands again. Convey this meaning, don’t make it too obvious, lest Aunt He loses face.”
Huang said with a smile: "Don't worry, young lady. My maid sees Sister He as her biological sister, so she won't suffer any loss." She added, "Zhu Lei is a good kid. Although he is an apprentice, he will not be harmed by others." Guard Jiang is really as filial to his father, it would be great if he could treat Sister He like this in the future."
"If he really does what he says, I will promise him a bright future!" Wei Chief Ying said in a generous voice, "Aunt He and Uncle Jiang were both people who grew up with me. Their descendants, as long as they Be filial and considerate, and don't do such disobedient things. Even if he is not a servant in our family, I will not treat him badly. "
Huang said with a smile: "Young Madam, if Zhu Lei is not brainless, he is determined to treat Guard Jiang and Sister He as his biological parents!"
Wei Changying and Huang discussed how to find another family for He, so that she would not be miserable and lonely in old age for more than a day or two, but they never found the right one. At this meeting, we finally had a candidate, who was still unmarried, had a high status in front of Wei Changying, and had such a filial disciple who promised to treat He as his own mother... Both the master and the servant felt that it was not necessary to delay.
The next day, Mrs. Huang casually went to the kitchen and picked up a basket of snacks. She rushed to Ji's house on the pretext that Wei Changying was concerned about his teaching. She asked for Ji Qubing's blessings and sent away her daughter-in-law and granddaughter, who had come over. Looking for Zhu Lei - because Zhu Lei mentioned the matter first, Huang didn't have to be too tactful when talking to him, and said: "You kid just told me what happened yesterday. I told the young lady after I went back, and the young lady was very surprised. .”
Zhu Lei said hurriedly: "Master, he often says that he is not worthy of Aunt He..."
"That's not the case." Mrs. Huang said with a smile, "You also know that although the young lady only calls Guard Jiang 'Uncle Jiang', she actually treats him as her master. Sister He is the wet nurse of the young lady. In the eyes of the young lady, the status of Guard Jiang is not lower than that of Sister He. It’s just that in the past years, Sister He has always been... the young lady only said that Sister He was tired of Guard Jiang, so she was surprised. "
Zhu Lei knew what was going on and realized that Huang's words meant that He was indeed interested in Jiang Zheng. He was suddenly shocked and was stunned for a long time before saying: "Master is much older than Aunt He, and I have never dared to reveal it... "
"With Sister He's temper, it's no wonder that Guard Jiang is angry." Huang nodded with understanding and said, "But she has such a sharp-tongued temperament, but she is very considerate. Otherwise, according to our old lady, Madam’s love for the young lady will not allow her to stay with the young lady for these years, do you think so?”
Zhu Lei gritted his teeth and said, "That's what my aunt said."
Huang finished her words tactfully, then went to the room where Jiang Zheng was recuperating, and exchanged greetings across the screen. Finally, when she was leaving, she said casually: "As for Sister He, please don't let go, Guard Jiang." In her heart, it’s not that she doesn’t know what kind of person you are, she just said that out of anger.”
Jiang Zheng was a bodyguard and a bodyguard. He always relied half on his martial arts and half on his conduct. He was very familiar with people and worldly affairs. He was naturally more polite to the polite Huang family and said hurriedly: "What the Huang family girl said is, Afterwards, I thought about it clearly. I was injured these days, so I was inevitably upset and misunderstood the good intentions of the He family girls. "
Huang thought to herself that Jiang Zheng was indeed interested in He. No, it was clearly He's fault, but Jiang Zheng admitted that he was wrong and said, "Sister He has been feeling very guilty these past two days. Let's just say what I said that day." Too urgent."
Then I didn't mention it anymore, said a few words of condolences, left some snacks and left.
As soon as she left, Zhu Lei hurriedly picked up his robe, knelt down in front of the couch, and said without tears, "Master, I can't help you!"
Jiang Zheng said inexplicably: "What's wrong?"
"Disciple seems to have done something stupid." Zhu Lei said calmly.
Jiang Zheng has never been married. After accepting Zhu Lei as his disciple, Jiang Zheng has treated the only heir of his mantle with love and respect as if he were his own flesh and blood. He has spent all his hard-earned savings in the Wei family on him, for fear that He was wronged. I have always been very tolerant towards Zhu Lei, so it was rare to see Zhu Lei looking so anxious, and I was a little surprised, but then I thought about how this apprentice has always been measured because he comes from a poor family, not to mention that Zhu Lei has always been at his side in the past few days. , can you still go out and cause trouble? At most, it was disrespectful to Ji Zhai or the Huang family and He family who had come to visit. Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "How can a young man not make mistakes? Get up and speak first. There is gold under the man's knees, even if he is for Don’t kneel down in front of the teacher.”
Zhu Lei was not very daring at first, but after being persuaded by him again and again, he became cautious and explained what happened in detail: "The other day, Mrs. Wei's wet nurse, Mrs. He, came over and was very disrespectful to the master. Master. Although she is a female class and doesn't care about her, she becomes more and more arrogant! The disciple sees such a shrew and hates her in his heart. He just thinks that the master is injured this time and needs Mrs. Wei's face to continue in Ji. The miracle doctor is here to treat him. He is a close attendant of Mrs. Wei. If he offends her, it may be detrimental to the master's recovery. After much thought, the disciple thought of a way to not offend Mrs. Wei but also cut off the He. I will humiliate Master again in the future..."
Jiang Zheng also felt a headache when he heard that Mrs. He heard it, and hummed: "You are right, this shrew doesn't approve of the young lady practicing martial arts, but she can't bear to blame the young lady, and she doesn't dare to tell the old lady or madam, so she takes her anger out on me. Come on! There has been no rest in these years. If I hadn’t thought that she was a prostitute and the young lady’s wet nurse, I would have dealt with her long ago!”
He said, "It's not wrong for you to want to deal with her. How could it be discovered by the He family or the Huang family? It doesn't matter, as long as it's not too much, the young lady will take care of it for you."
He thought to himself that he had taught Wei Changying for more than ten years, and he was also called by "Jiang Bo" by Wei Changying. Even though he was not as close as the aunts who accompanied Wei Changying, such as He and Huang, he was responsible for his apprentice. There is still a little bit of face in doing something.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Lei groaned for a while and then said: "Aunt Huang didn't notice it... but... she seems to believe it is true? And that He family... He family... really treats Master... towards Master... "
Jiang Zheng was confused and said, "Start from the beginning, what are you talking about?"
"Disciple thought, it's really hateful that Mrs. He would stare at the master and scold her over trivial matters! It's just because she is close to the young lady, and I want her to shut up. I'm afraid there will be trouble if she speaks frankly. So yesterday When Aunt Huang came, the disciple took advantage of the opportunity to see her off..." Zhu Lei murmured for a moment, then said cruelly, "I deliberately asked Aunt Huang whether He was secretly in love with her. Master, has it been a long, long time? The disciple interpreted He's disrespect for the master as a beating, scolding, or falling in love..."
"Can you still do this?!" Jiang Zheng was stunned, and a trace of unnatural annoyance and embarrassment flashed across his face: He had been suppressed by the shrew He for so many years, why didn't he think of such a move to avoid future troubles? In spite of being annoyed, he couldn't help but praise his disciple, "As expected of a disciple, he is really smart! You did a good job on this matter, you did a great job!"
What is there to blame? If he hadn't been injured, Jiang Zheng would have really wanted to reward him!
However, Zhu Lei said with guilt: "Master is so kind - my disciple originally thought that in order not to lose such a reputation, the He family would never dare to disrespect the master again. How could I have thought of Aunt Huang?" He actually took this matter to heart and even told the young lady about it when he went back. Today, before Aunt Huang came in, she took her disciple outside and said what she meant... He was really interested in his master. Remind us masters and disciples to take the initiative!"
Jiang Zheng was stunned!
There was a moment of deathly silence in the inner room...
Jiang Zheng suddenly became violent! He grabbed the bottle beside him and threw it at Zhu Lei without even looking at it. He slapped the couch and said angrily: "You traitor! What bad idea did you come up with! A shrew like Mr. He has been walking around her all these years as a teacher." It’s too late, if you marry me, will you be able to live a good life as a teacher?”
Zhu Lei hid away in embarrassment and said with an apologetic smile: "Master, Master, please calm down! As the saying goes, when you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, and when you marry a dog, follow the dog. Master, you are superb in martial arts. Then He passed the door, Master is fair and aboveboard. The young lady can't say anything to discipline her, so this is also..."
"You idiot!" Jiang Zheng continued to slap the couch angrily, "What do you know?! This shrew of the He family is so fierce! Back then, in order to scare her, my master used a bright silver spear tip to stab ten thousand people with unstoppable courage. It reached her throat, and even the young lady beside her was frightened! This shrew actually dared to argue with the teacher in a rage - can such a shrew be subdued by martial arts? "
He almost burst into tears, "You are an unworthy disciple, you want to force yourself to death as your master!"
Regardless of what he had just said to his disciples, "A man has gold at his knees", Jiang Zheng looked around the room looking for anyone who could take advantage of him, and ordered Zhu Lei: "You bastard! Come here quickly!" Kneel down!" (To be continued)
