Zhou Yunshu raised her eyes slightly, pinched the note with her fingers, and continued walking to the flower hall behind Mother Li.
The children were playing Cuju in the open space outside the flower hall. Zhou Yunshu was sitting at the round table in the hall chatting with Mother Li, who was staring at the yard.
One was not distracted by the conversation, and the other was not listening.
Zhou Yunshu wanted to see what was written in the note that Chunque had given to her before, but if she made a slight move, Mother Li would definitely find out.
So after Zhou Yunshu sat in the hall for almost two quarters of an hour, she left the hall on the pretext of changing clothes, leaving only Chunque behind.
After arriving at the bathroom, Zhou Yunshu took out the note that Chunque had stuffed to herself from the space.
She originally thought it was Wu Gui or Feng Xujie who had some urgent news in the front yard, but it turned out that it was Jiang Rusi who handed it to her.
She made an appointment with herself to meet tomorrow.
Zhou Yunshu raised her eyebrows slightly and threw the note into the space again. After tidying it up, she returned to the flower hall.
…
After Zhou Yunshu took the children and said goodbye to He Zizhen, who had red eyes and was reluctant to leave, she saw Wu Gui and Feng Xujie waiting at the door as soon as she left the gate of He's house.
After getting on the bus, Wu Gui pointed to the extra wooden box in the carriage, which was about half the length of an adult's arm, and said to Zhou Yunshu: "The He family is indeed very wealthy. In order to thank us for helping us on the passenger ship, they gave us three A thousand taels of gold as a token of thanks."
Zhou Yunshu looked at the wooden box in surprise. Three thousand taels of gold was not a small amount.
You must know that when the emperor usually rewards heroes, it is usually a thousand taels of gold.
Although this thousand taels of gold cannot be said to be very rare, it is still surprising that a local snake in Xiazhou can take it out casually.
"Have you seen He Niazhang?" Zhou Yunshu asked, looking at Wu Gui and Feng Xujie.
Feng Xujie knew that Zhou Yunshu wanted to know whether he had talked to He Niazhang, so he said: "He Niazhang greeted us when we entered, and then he ignored us."
Not to mention thanking you alone.
Perhaps in the eyes of the He family, these three thousand taels of gold are already the best thank you gift.
After hearing this, Zhou Yunshu couldn't help but think of the attitude of the female family members of the He family towards them in the backyard.
It seems that when the status is not equal, even a life-saving grace is useless.
It's not that these three thousand taels of gold are bad. After all, no matter who knows the amount of gold repayed by the He family, they can't find anything to criticize. At most, they are muttered that the nouveau riche has a lot of money.
But the things that money can solve are not big things. At least they are much better than someone who just wants personal favor through kindness.
You know, sometimes favors are the hardest to give.
"Sister, what should we do next?" Feng Xujie looked at Zhou Yunshu. Today's banquet was different from what they had expected.
I originally thought that the He family could help him when he took back the Feng family's power in Jiangzhong, but now it seems that it is good that they can just sit back and watch.
"Did you see your father's confidants at today's banquet?"
Feng Xujie nodded.
Thanks to Zhou Yunshu's makeup skills, Lu Zongping didn't recognize him at all, and with his current status, he was not qualified to sit at their table.
But even though he couldn't say hello, he still got a lot of news about Lu Zongping.
For example, after Lu Zongping learned the news of his father's death, he ordered all the Feng family's fleet in the river to go to sea. Until now, no fleet has returned.
For example, Lu Zongping has now accepted that Feng Kewen will be the head of the Feng family. Feng Kewen sent his own people to Jiangzhong a month ago.
It's just that the Feng family's fleet in the river has all gone to sea, so they haven't been able to take over the command of the Feng family's rudder point in the river from Lu Zongping.
The Feng family's steering point in the river seems to still belong to the Feng family, but it is faintly separated from the Feng family.
After Feng Xujie knew this, he was glad that his father still knew how to look at people. He was originally worried that after such a long time, Lu Zongping might have become Feng Kewen's man.
Zhou Yunshu looked at Feng Xujie who seemed to be relieved, looked at him ruthlessly and said: "You don't think that your father's confidants will not surrender to Feng Kewen, so you think he will definitely accept you, right?"
Feng Xujie frowned slightly, "He is my father's confidant, and I am my father's son..."
"So? You are not your father after all."
"The fact that he can convince your father is because of your father's strength, not yours." Zhou Yunshu looked at Feng Xujie and said, "If you want your father's confidants to trust you and be willing to continue to take you as their leader, you must get Use your own strength to convince him."
"I believe that after he chooses you between you and Feng Kewen, his future prospects will be at least no worse than now. Otherwise, why would they choose you?"
"Perhaps what he is thinking about now is to settle down with Feng Ke Wenxu first, and then look for an opportunity to go it alone."
Zhou Yunshu looked at the frowning Feng Xujie and continued: "Anyway, the sky is high in the middle of the river and the emperor is far away. Feng Kewen has just taken over the Feng family and there are too many things to do. There is not much time and power left to compete with him. This fat piece of meat in the river.”
Feng Xujie's face was already a little pale from Zhou Yunshu's blow.
"So, there's nothing I can do?"
Feng Xujie originally wanted to rely on Lu Zongping to stand up, first to take down the Feng family's power in Jiangzhong, and by the way, tell everyone who had anything to do with the Feng family that he and Feng Kewen had never been on the same page.
but now……
"Of course we can." Zhou Yunshu smiled and said, "Have you forgotten your advantages?"
Feng Xujie looked up blankly, "What advantage?"
"You are the legitimate successor of the Feng family. Isn't that why Feng Kewen was chasing you before? And the secret of the Feng family that you hold in your hands."
"As long as you can impress Lu Zongping's heart, Lu Zongping will definitely consider you."
“No one wants to bear the Lord’s name and bring trouble when there is a better way to go.”
Feng Xujie took a deep breath and nodded.
"Xiaojie."
"Yes." Feng Xujie raised his head and looked at Zhou Yunshu.
"Never let your heart be swayed by other people's words." Zhou Yunshu pointed at herself and said with a smile: "I am someone who can stand and talk without pain, so I can analyze the pros and cons for you casually."
"But you can't be led away by my pros and cons. You will become the head of the Feng family in the future, and you must have your own opinions."
After hearing this, Feng Xujie nodded seriously to Zhou Yunshu and said, "I understand, Third Sister, I will keep it in mind."
"That's good."
Seeing the two of them finish speaking, Wu Gui finally had the opportunity to interject: "Yunshu, do you know who the distinguished guest the He family is receiving today is?"
Zhou Yunshu thought of Kang Jingyu whom she saw in the side courtyard and He Niazhang who was with him, and said, "Kang Jingyu."
"no."
"Ah?" Zhou Yunshu was curious now.
Not really.
Feng Xujie smiled and said: "He is not the distinguished guest of the He family, he just stole the hydrangea of the third lady of the He family!"
"What?!"
"He stole the hydrangea!"
