Being able to stay an extra half day was exactly what Wen Nongnong wanted. She showed a touch of emotion on her face at the right moment. "Your Highness is so good to me. You even think of me in this way. It's rare for me to come to Tunzhou. Since I'm here, I should bring some gifts back for my parents and sister-in-law. I'll go with my second brother to stroll around Tunzhou City in a little while."
Seeing this, Wang Houde breathed a sigh of relief, "I will go with you in a little while and help you carry your things."
Wen Nong Nong quickly made an excuse to refuse, "Eunuch Wang has been traveling with the Prince and must be tired. My second brother can accompany me. Eunuch Wang can wait for me at the Prince's residence."
Upon hearing this, Wang Houde did not insist on going along.
"Alright, this servant will wait for you to return in the manor."
After having breakfast, Wen Nongnong declined Gu Yi's offer to go shopping with her and went out with Wen Tingyun.
...
Red Feather Tower.
Having been here once before, Wen Nongnong and Wen Tingyun walked through the Hundred Flowers Pavilion and went to the Red Feather Pavilion behind it.
Because of the performance by the two at Baihua Tower last night, which brought considerable income to the tower, the elders no longer looked down on Wen Nong Nong. Instead, their faces were full of smiles as they welcomed her in as if she were a god of wealth.
"Quickly serve tea to the Deputy Pavilion Master," the First Elder said with a smile.
Immediately, a servant respectfully brought in tea.
Upon hearing the title of Grand Elder, Wen Nongnong's lips curled up slightly. Was this an acknowledgment of her abilities?
She took the teacup and slowly sipped it.
Seeing this, the elders became restless. After exchanging glances, the eldest elder spoke again.
"Everyone has witnessed the Vice Master's abilities. It is truly an honor for our Crimson Feather Pavilion to have someone of your talent join us. Moreover, you are the Pavilion Master's younger brother, which puts our minds at ease. Therefore, from now on, all matters, large and small, within our pavilion will be entrusted to the Vice Master. We hope that the Pavilion Master can lead us to create even greater glories."
"We hope that the Deputy Master can lead us to create new glories!" Several other elders echoed.
Wen Nong Nong and Wen Ting Yun exchanged a glance, thinking that the financial crisis of Chi Yu Lou was more serious than she had imagined.
Otherwise, why would the elders be so eager to recognize her as the deputy head of the building?
But that's exactly the result she wanted.
She said solemnly, "It is rare for the elders to recognize my abilities and appoint me as the deputy head of the tower. I will certainly not let you down and will do my best to make our Crimson Feather Tower famous throughout the world."
Upon hearing this, the elders respectfully handed her a silver token representing her status as the deputy head of the Crimson Feather Pavilion. "From now on, you are the deputy head of our Crimson Feather Pavilion and have full authority to manage all affairs of the pavilion."
Wen Nongnong reached out and took it, glanced at it, and then said, "Since the elders have said that all affairs in the building are entrusted to me, I happen to have a few suggestions to discuss with the elders today."
Upon hearing this, the elders immediately sat up straight, adopting an attitude of listening attentively.
Wen Nongnong was quite satisfied with their attitude.
Money really can make the devil turn the millstone.
She had only earned money for the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, yet these elders obeyed her every command.
However, this also shows that the Akabane Tower is already at its last gasp, just an empty shell, and they are eager for someone to lead them out of this awkward situation.
