Chapter 150 The Person Next to You
Yuan Li, Yuan Yi and other children all knew that Li Jialan had sent a message to He Zizhen inviting him to come to her house to play.
After breakfast that morning, Yuan Li, Yuan Yi and others surrounded Dong Ge and started talking about what they wanted to eat for lunch. Dong Ge agreed to everything.
After announcing the dishes, the little ones wanted to go to the gate to pick people up, but Zhan Chuan and Du Hengxin, who also wanted to study, each carried two of them and went to the study in the front yard.
It's just that they were worried and couldn't concentrate on reading. When they heard the sound of a carriage coming from the gate, their eyes all went to the door and they didn't listen to what Zhou Yunjia was saying at all.
Zhou Yunjia had no choice but to dismiss the children from get out of class early. Zhan Chuan and Du Hengxin also packed up and prepared to go out.
The last time, He Nian Zhang came in person from He Zizhen, but this time he didn’t come, only He Zizhen’s wet nurse followed him.
Yuan Li, Yuan Yi and others originally thought that since there were guests coming, they would not have to study this morning.
Who knew that not only they had to study, but Zhou Yunjia even grabbed He Zizhen, who came with great interest, and brought him into the study room, asking him to stay with Yuan Li, Yuan Yi and others.
Mother Li looked at the young master in the study holding a book, not knowing where to start. She left the maid and servant to serve him and went into the backyard to pay a visit to Li Jialan and Wu Yue, and then went to the front yard with the two ladies.
After the He family arrived, Zhan Chuan, Yan Shilei and others in the front yard went out to do some business; Zhou Yunzhi and Fang Huiwen were taking a walk in the side garden; Zhou Yunshu in the backyard went out early with Ji Mingzhu to watch an opera, and the house became much quieter for a while.
The play being performed at the Liyuan Opera House today is called The Lute Story. Zhou Yunshu and Ji Mingzhu are sitting in a private room on the second floor, facing the stage downstairs.
"That's not the child from the Feng family." Ji Mingzhu said, holding the ginseng tea that Nanny Wang brought from home, while looking at Feng Xujie who was going up the stairs with a middle-aged man.
"yes."
"Do you know the people around him?"
Zhou Yunshu only took a glance and recognized who this person was, even though she had never seen him before.
"Xiaojie's father's confidant is called Lu Zongping, the Feng family's helmsman in Jiangzhong."
Ji Mingzhu retracted her gaze and said, "I heard that the current head of the Feng family is called Feng Kewen."
Zhou Yunshu nodded, "He's Xiaojie's second uncle, who rose to power through conspiracy and intrigue."
Ji Mingzhu took a sip of tea and said, "The Feng family has a sect master token. Only the person who possesses the sect master token can truly become the head of the Feng family. Now everyone assumes that the sect master token is in Feng Kewen's hands."
No one cares whether one gets to power through conspiracy or not. Most people only look at the results.
"The sect leader's token is in Xiaojie's hands, and his father also told him the location of the Feng family's secret chamber."
Ji Mingzhu nodded and said, "In that case, then train him well."
"The Feng family's shipbuilding skills are renowned throughout the Great Zhou. If we want a fleet, we can't do without their craftsmen."
"So, we must first help him take down the Feng family's influence in the river." Zhou Yunshu continued.
Ji Mingzhu nodded and said, "Chu San will bring Chu Ba, Chu Eleven, and Chu Twelve to Jiangzhong before the New Year. From now on, they will be under your command."
"grandmother!"
Ji Mingzhu said: "Chuyi and Chuer have special identities. No one in this world knows who they are except me. I can't tell you their identities for now. When the time comes, I will tell you in detail."
"As for the others, they have their own things to deal with right now. These four are the ones I can transfer to your side to help you now."
"Thank you, Grandma."
Even though Ji Mingzhu's people are with them from the first to the tenth day, and from the eleventh to the twentieth day, they are not always with Ji Mingzhu. There are only two people who are always with Ji Mingzhu.
But now Ji Mingzhu arranged four people to be on Zhou Yunshu's left and right.
"Chu San is the best at teaching. If you encounter children who are like Chun Que or slightly worse than Chun Que in the future, you can let Chu San teach them."
When Chunque heard Ji Mingzhu praising her, she silently raised her chin.
Her talent in martial arts is not just talk!
Zhou Yunshu smiled and glanced at Chunque behind her, then said to Ji Mingzhu beside her, "I understand, Grandma."
"We still have too few people."
Zhou Yunshu placed the peeled nuts on the small plate next to Ji Mingzhu and said to her, "It's good enough."
"I heard from Xixi that there was a man named Hu Zi. Is he not here?"
Zhou Yunshu explained: "I asked them to go to Dongchuan."
Zhou Yunshu briefly told Ji Mingzhu about her plan to buy a property in Dongchuan. She also dipped her finger in tea and drew a simple map on the table for Ji Mingzhu to help her understand better.
“A nice place.”
Zhou Yunshu received Ji Mingzhu's approval and said with a smile, "I've asked Uncle He and Hu Zi to look for a place first. If there's a suitable piece of land, I'd like to build it myself."
In fact, before Zhou Yunzhi came back, Zhou Yunshu was more inclined to buy ready-made ones, but now that Zhou Yunzhi is back and his legs are inconvenient, Zhou Yunshu wants to design the house to facilitate Zhou Yunzhi's life.
After Zhou Yunshu expressed her idea, Ji Mingzhu nodded slightly and said, "Okay, a bigger place would be better."
She looked at the stage downstairs and said, "After we settle down in Dongchuan, I will ask Chuwu to go to Nanzhou and bring back some military supplies for you."
Zhou Yunshu's eyes lit up. Since her grandmother used the word "luck", the number must be quite large.
She suddenly thought of the gold, silver, jewelry and military supplies in her space. She had to find time to get them all out, otherwise forming a fleet and raising a navy would be a huge expense. Everything in the space was her capital.
"Okay, we also hid a batch of food from the Red Lotus Sect. I'll have Uncle He and the others transport it back after we're settled."
"Yes." Ji Mingzhu turned to look at Zhou Yunshu and said, "If the world really becomes chaotic in the next few years, food will be extremely important."
"We must continue to stockpile food, and we must also make arrangements for growing food."
Ji Mingzhu extended her well-maintained finger towards the alluvial plain that Zhou Yunshu had just drawn and said, "When the time comes, buy as much as you can. It would be great if you can snatch it up."
Zhou Yunshu knew what Ji Mingzhu meant. The first step for them to take over Haizhou was to firmly grasp Dongchuan.
"The grandmother I know."
"master."
Chunque stood beside Zhou Yunshu, suddenly bent down and called out to Zhou Yunshu softly, and then when Zhou Yunshu turned her head to look at her, Chunque pointed to Kang Jingyu at the stairs.
Chunque's actions were not secretive. Ji Mingzhu followed the master and servant's gaze and said with a smile, "What a coincidence."
"In fact, he had seen us before, but his eyesight was not good, and we had disguised ourselves a little, so he didn't recognize us."
Ji Mingzhu looked at Zhou Yunshu and said with a smile: "I'm not talking about him."
"Ah?" Zhou Yunshu looked at Ji Mingzhu in confusion.
Ji Mingzhu looked at Zhou Yunshu, smiled, and shook her head, saying, "Look at the man next to him."
When Zhou Yunshu looked over again, she only saw a little bit of Kang Jingyu's back, and she only had time to see a little bit of the back of the man next to him.
"Do I know him?"
Ji Mingzhu smiled helplessly and said, "You, don't you even recognize the person next to you?"
