Chapter 315 Token
"During Emperor Taizong of Tang, he first made his eldest son Li Chengqian the crown prince. Later, Li Chengqian made a mistake. Emperor Taizong intended to change Li Tai as crown prince, but although Li Chengqian and Li Tai were the same brothers, they were incompatible with each other."
"Emperor Taizong hesitated for a while and finally made Li Zhi the crown prince. In the final analysis, he hoped that after Li Zhi ascended the throne, he could protect Li Tai and Li Chengqian at the same time. After all, the three of them were the children of Empress Changsun."
After hearing this story, Hei Shuiming couldn't help but ask: "What does this have to do with our family?"
Masako Kuroshui said, "Didn't grandpa think so? The eldest brother and the second brother are incompatible, and the eldest sister and the younger brother are in a very irresistible relationship. Only us, and the relationship with each other is ordinary, but we have never offended anyone. Isn't it a test for grandpa to say this today?"
"Grandpa has always favored me. He wants to see if we have tolerated me?" Hei Shuiming asked.
Masako Kuromizu nodded slightly and then said, "If these struggles are true, no one can compare to the Chinese. They seem to be able to find corresponding deeds from past history and use them as reference today."
"We want Lu Jingyao to cooperate with me?" Heishuiming asked.
He didn't even notice that before he knew it, he had completely treated his wife as the backbone of the family.
Masako Kuroshui shook her head and said, "Although grandpa loves me, he should know more about what real skills I have in his heart. If he gets done, he will seem deliberate."
"What if I'm going to do it?" Hei Shuiming asked.
Masako Kuroshui said, "We can take over this matter naturally and clean up the mess for me, so my grandfather naturally has nothing to say."
As expected by Masako Kuroshui, the young grandson of the Hei Shui family did make up the matter.
Not only that, he also offended Lu Jingyao in a thorough way.
Even Lu Jingyao's anger was not pretending. It was really a courage that this kid came from. When talking about cooperation, he spoke wildly, and Xu Youyou was involved in his words.
"Miss Hei Shui, I do need the help of the head of the Hei Shui family, but you should know that I don't have to do it." Lu Jingyao said to Masako Hei Shui with a calm face.
Masako Kuroshui scolded her younger brother thousands of times in her heart. She still underestimated her younger brother's ability to cause trouble. At this time, she could only nod and blame her husband for not being able to apologize.
"Mr. Lu, my brother has always been ignorant. Please forgive him for his unintentional mistakes."
Masako Kuroshui was very persuasive, and finally gave up some of the benefits in cooperation, and finally got Lu Jingyao's continued cooperation.
"Mr. Lu, Miss Xu, a few days will be my grandfather's 80th birthday. Grandpa invites guests and has given many instructions to ask you two to enjoy the banquet." Masako Kuroshui said this long list of words.
Lu Jingyao agreed, but he was secretly alert. Masako Hei Shui said Chinese well, so standard that she couldn't hear too many accents. Obviously, she was the first person in the Hei Shui family to discover the potential of the Chinese market, and she had practiced Mandarin so well early on.
In the past few days, Xu Youyou's system has pointed out all the heirs of the Hei Shui family in Tokyo. Even the old house of Hei Shui family has pointed out, but the security in the old house is very strict. Unless you visit normally, other ways are likely to be unable to enter.
But when you visit normally, you can't find a reason for a while. More importantly, Xu Youyou still can't touch his head and doesn't know how to complete the task at all.
The only thing she hopes for now is that Masako Hei Shui and his wife will become the head of the Hei Shui family. In this way, her job of picking up bargains will have a glimmer of hope, and all the preparations in the early stage are not in vain. Otherwise, she would have to use the system's previously rewarded task immunity.
The key is that the last two system tasks seem to be task chains. If a key link is dropped on one chain, I don’t know if it will affect the subsequent tasks.
"This birthday party announced who will be the successor head of the family." Lu Jingyao said.
Xu Youyou breathed a sigh of relief. The birthday party was the third to the countdown to the system task. If the transfer of power was not completed, then her task was really in vain.
However, perhaps it is because of the special sensitivity of the Chinese. They have PTSD from Hongmen Banquet for the "banquet", and they always feel that something bad will happen.
"Don't think too much. We are just customers. Even if there is anything bad, we won't be able to come to us." Lu Jingyao said.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the birthday party.
The official birthday party was scheduled at noon, and we did not choose a hotel in Tokyo, but instead set the location at the old house of Hei Shui's house.
Lu Jingyao and Xu Youyou came to the door with formal invitations. Someone checked the invitations at the entrance of the old house, and there were also special people who registered the gifts from visitors.
After entering the old house, there are also special servants responsible for guiding the guests to watch the old house. Basically, one servant is accompanied by five guests to ensure that there will be no embarrassing things happening in the house.
Lu Jingyao and Xu Youyou did not enjoy the scenery in the house, but shortly after entering the door, Xu Youyou was stunned.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
She looked at the flag in the middle of the banquet hall and was very surprised: "I remember the Heishui family's emblem doesn't look like this."
She had read the information in advance and said that the Heishui family's emblem was obviously a hibiscus pattern, but now it has become a red shore flower. The pattern looks almost exactly the same as the pattern on the jade pendant in the golden nanmu she had obtained before.
"Miss Xu, the family emblem on this flag is the family emblem of Heishui Family a hundred years ago. At that time, a master said that Heishui Family borrowed a hundred years of luck from the other side of the flower, and had exhausted it. The head of the Heishui Family spent a lot of money to ask someone to divine, and finally decided the hibiscus flower as the new family emblem of Heishui Family." Masako Heishui explained softly from the side.
Xu Youyou always feels strange when she listens to this story.
Xu Youyou thought of the other side of the jade pendant with the word "letter".
"What token does your family have?" Xu Youyou asked.
Masako Kuroshui said proudly: "As a big family that has been passed down for two hundred years, our Hei Shui family naturally has family tokens, and even the family tokens are divided into grades. The highest grade is jade, followed by gold. Those who can obtain gold tokens are important partners of our Hei Shui family. As for jade tokens, the last time they were given to people was eighty years ago."
"If someone comes to you with a token, will you keep your promise?" Xu Youyou asked.
Masako Kuroshui immediately said, "My Hei Shui family has always kept their promises. With existing tokens, they will naturally not let the guests' hopes fail."
Xu Youyou's eyes lit up when she heard this. Just as she was about to blurt out that she had a token when Lu Jingyao, who was beside her, suddenly pulled her.
