Zhou Feng walked out of the table, came to the opposite of Yun Bo, helped him up, and said with a pleasant face

"Oh, Zhou Yun, I can't afford this big gift from you! Although I am a man, but we are also our own family, right? You're too much of an outsider! ”

"Huh?" Yun Bo, who was flattered, looked at Zhou Feng in some fog, at a loss.

Zhou Feng was even more satisfied with Yun Bo's overwhelm, so he looked at Steward Zhou on the side and reprimanded

"Steward Zhou, don't let the maid wait in the main hall soon!"

"Yes!" Steward Zhou retreated after he was done.

After Steward Zhou left, Zhou Feng smiled at Yun Bo

"This housekeeper really doesn't know how to be polite, are you my own family, he actually took you to my study, there is no tea or anything here, I just want to entertain you, but I can't entertain you, go, follow me to the main hall, I have to entertain you today."

Zhou Feng's words are just for show! Let Yun Bo feel that he values him.

Yun Bo, who didn't know why, could only follow Zhou Feng, thinking that Zhou Feng's hospitality was to teach him a lesson.

But when he arrived at the main hall, he heard what Zhou Feng ordered him to do, and received a reward of ten taels, Yun Bo knew that Zhou Feng wanted to use himself, so he stood up and said flatteringly

"Master Zhou, don't worry, the little one will definitely do things beautifully, and when the time comes, let his Lu family sell the property!"

"Well, go ahead!" Zhou Feng held the teacup, with an approachable smile on his face, and after Yun Bo left, he cursed in his heart

"What an idiot!" After scolding, he instructed Steward Zhou again

"Steward Zhou, go and find the uncle for me, just say that I have something to do with him!"

……

The Lu family

"What?" Hearing the words of the three sisters Lu Ziqing, Mrs. Lu's voice rose and she refused

"No way!"

Lu Ziqing shook the sleeve of the old lady Lu and said cutely

"Grandma, as the saying goes: saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, you just look at the eldest brother's homelessness, take him in!"

"Yes, grandma! Just say yes! Lu Ziyun also persuaded on the side.

"Grandma'......!" Lu Zixi also pulled the sleeve of the old lady Lu aggrievedly and said in anticipation.

"This ......!" Looking at the begging of her three granddaughters, it was difficult for Mrs. Lu to refuse, but in the end she gritted her teeth and said cruelly

"Qing'er, it's not that grandma doesn't want to take in Mu Gongzi, it's that we don't have extra rooms in our house!"

Knowing that Old Lady Lu was showing signs of loosening, Lu Ziqing hurriedly said

"Grandma, it's good for my big brother to sleep with my brother!"

"This ......!" Old Mrs. Lu still didn't want to agree, so she looked at Lu Ziyi, who was cutting knotweed on the side, and asked

"Ziyi, is it okay to let Mu Gongzi share a room with you?"

Mrs. Lu really wanted to hear Lu Ziyi's refusal, but she was disappointed in the end.

"Got it, grandma!" Lu Ziyi, who has always loved his sister, replied without raising his head.

Well, Mrs. Lu, who had already said this, was a little depressed in an instant after hearing Lu Ziyi's answer.

Knowing that Mrs. Lu was a little unhappy, Lu Ziqing said with a smile

"Grandma, do you see that we have so many knotweeds in our house, do we also need to cut them by hand? This big brother is such a tall person, this knotweed job, he must be handy, isn't it? ”

Hearing this, Mu Zijian's eyes when he looked at Lu Ziqing were like ice knives, flying towards her one by one.

After feeling Mu Zijian's murderous eyes, Lu Ziqing turned to him and said with a smile

"Big brother, you are such a big person, you don't want to live in my house for nothing! I heard that this scholar is the most knowledgeable and courteous, like that kind of non-gentleman's thing, I think the eldest brother disdains to do it! ”

Eh, Lu Ziqing's words are not leaky, if he refutes it, then it is not a gentleman's doing, so Mu Zijian can only look at Lu Ziyi who is cutting knotweed with a firewood knife in the yard, and find fault

"Qing'er, if I'm not mistaken, there should be a special medicine cutting knife for this medicinal herb!"

Lu Ziqing nodded, still smiling

"It's true, but it's a pity that our family is poor and can't afford it, so big brother, you just use a firewood knife to cut it!"

After Lu Ziqing finished speaking, she was kind, picked up the firewood knife and hooked her finger at Mu Zijian, and smiled harmlessly

"Come, big brother, I'll teach you!"

"With a wood knife, I don't do it, I want to use a medicine cutting knife!" Mu Zijian refused very firmly this time.

Lu Ziqing was not angry at Mu Zijian's refusal, but still looked at him with a smile and asked

"Big brother, do you know how much this medicine knife is?"

"How much?" For the prince of a country, Mu Zijian was not clear about things like this for ordinary people, so he asked casually.

Lu Ziqing stretched out a hand and said, "It's fifty taels, big brother, do you think that our peasant family, who can't even pay the shackles of our brothers, will have the money to buy a medicine cutting knife?" ”

Although he knew that Lu Ziqing had a few hundred taels of silver on him, the money could not be said, so Mu Zijian could only sit on the horse stool helplessly in the end, and cut knotweed according to what Lu Ziqing taught!

In this way, in order to continue to avoid Mu Zijian, who was recuperating from his injuries, he was exploited by Lu Ziqing.

……

Zhou family compound

Zhou Rong walked into the living room, saw Zhou Feng sitting on the main seat, and said respectfully

"Dad, what are you calling the child for?"

Zhou Feng took a sip of tea, and after first letting Zhou Rong sit down on the side, he asked slowly

"Rong'er, how is the business in the shop lately?"

After sitting down, Zhou Rong stood up and replied

"It's all good!"

Zhou Feng nodded with satisfaction and took another sip of tea

"Okay, I just heard Zhou Yun in the village say, Lu Lintian's family, what medicinal materials are you collecting recently, have you heard about this?"

After Zhou Rong sat down, he remembered what he heard when he passed by the entrance of the village when he came back today, and he didn't care

"I've heard a little, but it's just an inconspicuous job, nothing!"

Hearing his son's casual words, Zhou Feng's face darkened

"Inconspicuous work? It's nothing? Rong'er, do you know how much profit their Lu family gets from this inconspicuous job? ”

Zhou Rong still didn't care much

"Dad, this is only a matter of a few pennies, how much profit can it have?"

Seeing Zhou Rong, who hadn't reacted yet, Zhou Feng hated the way that iron does not become steel

"How much money? Their Lu family bought two catties of raw knotweed for a penny, cut it for themselves, and let it out, that is, seven pennies a catty, this hundred catties of knotweed, at least sixty or seventy catties of dry, this is a huge profit!

Just that kind of ox tongue grass, oh, the medicine is called plantain, I heard Zhou Yun say, the Lu family asked the people in the village to help pick it, dry it, and collect it for a penny, and if it is sold out, it will be sold for at least four or five pennies a catty!

Thousands of catties, 100 catties, it's nothing, but what about tens of thousands of catties? There are all kinds of other medicinal herbs, and this is a long-term business! As long as the Lu family runs well, our Zhou family compound is not the only one in Lujia Village! ”
