Chapter 170 I thought it was bluffing
"Didn't Feng Kewen send someone to take over?"
"It's a handover." Lu Zongping glanced at Zhou Yunshu, who was calm and composed beside him, and told Feng Xujie the truth: "But I also have to think about myself and the people in Jiangzhong. I can't just give him whatever he wants."
"So the stalemate has lasted until now."
In Lu Zongping's original plan, he could have delayed it until early next year, but for some reason, the people sent by Feng Kewen suddenly came to his aid and caught a lot of their weaknesses, forcing him to make a decision now.
Lu Zongping looked at Zhou Yunshu again. Could it be related to her?
Probably not, they have only been in the river for a short time.
Lu Zongping sighed in his heart.
There must be a traitor among his men, but time is too tight and there is no way to find this traitor for the time being.
"I do all this for the helm point."
This was what Lu Zongping said to Feng Xujie. In any case, if you want to talk about selfish motives, there is definitely no such thing on the surface.
Feng Xujie clenched his fists slightly, but smiled at Lawrence Lu and said, “Uncle Lu, I understand all this. It’s not easy for everyone.”
If Zhou Yunshu hadn't prepared him mentally in advance, Feng Xujie would definitely not be able to be as good-tempered as he is now after hearing what Lu Zongping said.
He knew that once his father died, his subordinates would definitely turn against him, even his confidants were no exception.
"What happened in the past is what happened in the past. If I take over the Feng family, I will definitely not take the past to heart. Everything can start over again."
This is the case with Lu Zongping, and also with the leaders of other Feng family branches. Only by not pursuing the matter can he have a chance to get that group of people to stand on his side. He has no other choice.
When Lu Zongping heard Feng Xujie's words, the smile in his eyes became genuine.
"As expected of a young master, he is so open and honest."
Lu Zongping glanced at Zhou Yunshu, who just smiled but didn't interrupt, and continued to say to Feng Xujie: "In this case, then I will definitely support the young master and stand by him."
"Feng Kewen has been acting as the head of the family long enough. Why not take advantage of this New Year's Eve to inform the seventeen rudder points about the young master's arrival in the river? That way, we can confirm the young master's position as the head of the family at the spring meeting."
Feng Xujie heard the Sect Master's breathing become heavier, so he looked at Lu Zongping and said, "Uncle Lu, how many of the seventeen rudder points do you think will support me?"
He himself only knew of three, one of whom was Lu Zongping, but there were seventeen helmsmen, and the support of three helmsmen was too little.
"You hold the sect leader's token and the position of the secret chamber. As long as you have proper guards around you, at least ten helmsmen will be willing to follow you."
If he is not properly guarded, he might die as soon as the news gets out. Since he is dead, the Feng family will naturally still belong to Feng Kewen.
Feng Kewen knew this very well because he was chased all the way here in this way.
Feng Xujie looked at Zhou Yunshu beside him. After seeing Zhou Yunshu nod, he looked at Lawrence Lu firmly and said, "You don't have to worry about my safety."
Zhou Yunshu had talked to Feng Xujie before and told him that once he came into public, she would let the guards of the eldest princess follow him.
The guards around the eldest princess are all top masters. With him protecting her closely, there will be no accidents.
Of course, Lu Zongping noticed the look Feng Xujie gave Zhou Yunshu.
Whether it is Feng Xujie or He Nian Zhang, their attitude towards Zhou Yunshu shows that Zhou Yunshu's family is definitely not ordinary people. Since Feng Xujie and He Nian Zhang have so much confidence in her, she can also try to believe her.
"In that case, there's no time to lose. I've already written the letter, and I can go back and notify all the helms now."
Lu Zongping stood up and looked at Feng Xujie and said, “The Feng family’s elder is your elder. How about you come with me when we meet tomorrow?”
Otherwise, they would think that I was bluffing them by using Feng Xujie.
Feng Xujie clenched his fist and said to Lawrence Lu: “Okay, I’ll go!”
After Feng Xujie and Lu Zongping finished their conversation, He Nianzhang's eyes lit up at the promise Zhou Yunjia had made.
"Sir, you mean our Zizhen is really talented in studying!"
Zhou Yunjia emphasized, "He is more talented than the average person, and he is also a patient child. As long as he is well taught, it is not impossible for him to obtain the title of Juren before the age of 25."
He Nian Zhang clenched his fists excitedly. Their He family was going to become rich!
The Great Zhou Dynasty did not prohibit merchants from taking the imperial examinations, but for some reason, the He family was very good at business, but had never been successful in the imperial examinations. No matter whether it was the He family members or other people in the family, it seemed that they had no interest in studying at all.
But his son has only been studying here for a short time, yet he has received such high praise.
He Nian Zhang held his son's test paper with almost full marks, and felt that the He family's glory was just around the corner.
He stood up, clasped his fists and bowed to Zhou Yunjia, saying seriously, "Sir, I leave my son to you. From now on, he will be half your son. You can punish him as you please!"
Zhou Yunjia supported He Nianzhang and said, "You're being too kind. I was just doing what a teacher should do. I assigned some homework during the holiday. If you have time, you can complete it with Zizhen."
When He Nian Zhang heard this, the smile on his face froze, and then he said nonchalantly: "I'll try my best, I'll try my best."
Let the children do their homework, he should stay out of it.
When He Nian Zhang and Lu Zongping came out of Zhou Yunshu's house with their children's test papers, they looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
Because his son had good grades, He Nianzhang took He Zizhen's hand and glanced at Lu Zongping's hand and said, "Captain Lu, you look so happy. I guess your son's grades are good, right?"
Lu Zongping thought of his son's grades and said proudly, "He has improved a lot compared to before!"
That naughty monkey finally managed to read the book. It was really not easy!
"How many points?"
He Nian Zhang was curious, mainly because it was the first time he heard from Zhou Yunjia that grading was based on a 100-point system, so when he saw his own son's grades, he wanted to ask about other people's.
Lu Zongping smiled and said, "I heard from the teacher that 60 points is a passing score, and my child got 61 points!"
Lu Changfeng, who was standing next to Lu Zongping, secretly rolled his eyes at his father, then ran onto the carriage like a rabbit. He was afraid that the old man would whip him to death after knowing the results of others.
Lu Zongping glared at his son and said to He Nianzhang, whose smile had not faded, "I wonder how your son did?"
He Nian Zhang raised his chin slightly, suppressing his pride and said, "It's not high, just eight points short of a perfect score."
Lu Zongping: “…”
"Haha, something happened at home, I'll leave first."
After Lu Zongping finished speaking, he turned around, and He Nianzhang said enthusiastically behind him: "Captain Lu, let's talk next time."
What are you talking about!
Lu Zongping didn't even want to look at He Nianzhan's smug face. Why didn't he realize how annoying he was before?
After He Zizhen and Lu Changfeng found their parents, the Zhou family's children also wanted to find their parents.
Zhou Yunjia finally had the chance to show off in front of her eldest brother and third sister. Just as she was about to speak after straightening her face, Liao Quan came to the door and said to Zhou Yunshu, "Madam, a man named Wei Zhong is here to give her a New Year's gift."
