Chapter 448 Pain
"It seems that we really misunderstood Magistrate Niu. Look at him, he is so anxious that sweat is all over his forehead. It doesn't look fake."
Boss Zhou muttered as he watched the carriage going away.
"That's definitely not what the county magistrate meant. If that was the case, he wouldn't have come to apologize today. His attitude is so sincere, and he didn't seem to be that sincere yesterday."
Besides, Lord Chengfeng also said yesterday that the two arrogant people yesterday were punished.
"Okay, let's get back to work and stop thinking about these bad things so that Arya won't notice anything."
Boss Zhou nodded quickly. All these things combined were not as important as his daughter's mood.
Old Mrs. Zhou came to the backyard and called San Ya out, and told her what had just happened.
After hearing this, Zhou Mingshu had an idea in her mind. She also felt that County Magistrate Niu would not act in that way.
But until now, my second sister didn’t know what had happened and was happily peeling garlic in the backyard.
She smiled, thinking that simpletons have good fortune. The whole family was trying their best to protect her, but she was the only one who was so stupid that she didn't know anything.
After opening the gift sent by the county magistrate, I found that the items inside were indeed very valuable and it was obvious that a lot of thought was put into them.
"Grandma, please put all these things away and save them for my second sister's dowry."
These are all my second sister's 'mental damage compensation'.
"That's what I thought. Give it to your aunt and ask her to keep it safe."
"Okay, I'll go then."
Zhou Mingshu handed the treasure box over with a grin.
From the beginning to the end of this incident, Zhou Mingqi had no idea what had happened at home. But it was a good thing as it saved him from physical and mental harm.
As for County Magistrate Niu, after leaving Lao Zhou's restaurant, he rushed to the military defense camp without stopping.
Now that he is here, he naturally wants to express his regret to Lord Qi.
After the soldier guarding the gate reported, Magistrate Niu and Butler Niu came over with the gift boxes.
"County Magistrate Niu, what brings you here? Come and sit down."
The arrival of County Magistrate Niu was within Qi Rui's expectations. It could be said that he had been waiting for County Magistrate Niu.
"General Qi, it is because of my poor parenting that I have raised unworthy descendants. I am sorry for making you laugh yesterday..."
After County Magistrate Niu paid his respects, he was unable to stand up for a long time, so Qi Rui had to help him up.
"Please sit down, Magistrate Niu. What you just said is your family affairs, so I can't say anything. But it's not good to let your daughter-in-law use her power to pressure others. Since ancient times, marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmakers' words. But I saw yesterday that there was no matchmaker and the elders of the Zhou family didn't agree. This is a bit like robbery. I saw that the two families couldn't get married, so I took the initiative to stop it."
County Magistrate Niu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and smiled apologetically.
"General Qi, you should have stopped them. If I had known that they were going out for this, I would never have let them out. I punished them severely after receiving the news yesterday. I hope that the general can be magnanimous and not hold grudges against women and children."
"I have the county magistrate watching over me, so I feel relieved."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's stay for a quick meal before going back."
For County Magistrate Niu, whatever the superior said was the final word and he had no right to refuse.
If you tell him to eat, he eats; if you tell him to leave, he leaves; he never says a word.
Ever since Lord Xue and General Qi came, they have been very polite to him, but he knows that he cannot take chicken feathers as a token of authority.
Not long after, the meal was ready.
The two of them sat down and clinked glasses.
Qi Rui first mentioned a few official matters, and then mentioned Zhou Mingshu's appointment as the governor of agriculture.
"Although Mingshu is only a ninth-rank official, it can be seen that the emperor values her. If she makes meritorious contributions again in the future, she will definitely have a chance to be promoted."
"That's right, that's right. Mingshu will be able to receive a salary from the court starting next month. I am happy for her too."
County Magistrate Niu has always valued talents throughout his life and hopes that there will be some talented people in his family.
He treated the younger generations in his family with all his heart. His son and eldest grandson both achieved some success and received salaries from the court, but he did not expect that he would suffer a big setback with his second grandson.
"I heard that Zhu Chenxi has already gone to the capital to prepare for the Spring Imperial Examination. So I would like to congratulate Magistrate Niu in advance. If Sanshui County produces a Jinshi, it will be great news."
"Haha, that's right, I am taking advantage of Miss Mingshu again. Mr. Zhu happens to be her uncle."
"Haha, it can be said that Magistrate Niu is blessed. Whether it is the iron mine behind us or the reputation of Sanshui County, it is much better than before."
"That's right, all of this is thanks to Miss Mingshu and the Zhou family. I wanted to worship them, but who knew that the children in the family had bad thoughts and went astray."
"Okay, okay, we are talking about happy things, let's not bring up the past. Those bad things will affect our mood for drinking."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, General."
-
The Niu Mansion at this time.
Niu Yanli lay on the mattress. Although the fire next to him was burning brightly, he was still shivering from the cold.
Although it is early spring, the indoor temperature is not that high yet.
He had suffered such a serious injury that not only could he not lie down or sit, but he also had to lie on the mattress with his bare buttocks.
It's cold and embarrassing!
Ugh!
If he had known this would happen, he would never have dared to have such evil thoughts!
Even if there is, I don't have the courage to do it.
Just as he was grimacing in pain, the servant came over with medicine.
"Master, it's time to apply the medicine. The doctor said it should be applied twice a day."
"Yeah, okay, give me more. I hope I can recover soon."
"Young one knows."
"By the way, have Grandma and Auntie been here?"
"Master, the old lady and the lady are not here."
Niu Yanli felt a little unbelievable about the servant's reply.
My mother and grandmother were the ones who loved him the most in the family. Even though he was seriously injured, no one came to see him.
He was so heartbroken and felt so wronged...
Before he could come out of his emotions, the book boy sprinkled the powder on his butt.
Then, a terrible pig howl broke through the sky...
"Ah~ Gently... Gently..."
Niu Yanli, who was freezing just now, was now covered in sweat.
The wound was so painful that Niu Yanli's little face turned pale and his brows were tightly furrowed, as if he would go to the underworld to see the King of Hell in the next second.
But it's a pity that he recovered.
"Okay, okay, go down and let me be alone."
The young master, who was usually full of life and cheerful, now looked like pork belly on a butcher's chopping board. The little servant boy felt very distressed when he saw this.
But if the lady saw such a situation, she would be so heartbroken that she would definitely cry even more miserably than the young master.
