But you really have to ask the eldest brother and the second brother about this matter. The emperor showed this intention in advance. Naturally, he also wants to do everything possible and cannot let his good intentions become pressure on others.
Lu Baichuan wrote a letter to Jingzhou to ask them what they meant.
If they are willing, they should come to the capital. They cannot let an elder like Mr. Yao go to Jingzhou to teach them knowledge.
What's more, for Mr. Yao, Jingzhou is his sad place. He never wants to go back in his life, and the Lu family cannot let others get into trouble like this.
The letter was delivered by pigeons, which was very fast, but on the 5th or 6th, I received a reply from Mr. Lu and Mr. Lu. They were very flattered and expressed their willingness to try it slowly from the bottom. Embarrass Lu Baichuan.
This was actually what Lu Baichuan had expected. In this era, except for his unruly wife, who would refuse an opportunity to be an official?
Furthermore, this is a gift from the emperor, and not everyone can refuse it.
If they refuse, if word gets out in the future, it will still be Lu Baichuan who will be ridiculed. They will think that only Lu Baichuan can attend the meeting, and everyone else is a coward.
Only by working together as brothers can we truly bring hope to this family.
They wrote a letter saying that they would hand over the business in hand and come to the capital after the Mid-Autumn Festival to start studying.
Originally, I wanted to come before the Mid-Autumn Festival so that the family could celebrate the Reunion Festival, but I really couldn’t let go of the things at hand. There were still many things that needed to be dealt with. It was really hard to arrange well. Don't worry.
Since Mr. Lu and Mr. Lu are coming, the Yu family and the Qin family must also be coming. The Yu family has just opened a new restaurant in Jingzhou, and the Qin family has also opened a gambling house. Yes, it’s not easy to hand over things well.
However, the children studying in the Imperial College no longer need to think about going back. They can study in the Imperial College with peace of mind and wait for the children's examination tomorrow spring.
He Jiuniang was also very happy after reading the letter. The family could be together again.
"You can ask the eldest brother and the others to come back after winter, so there is no need to be in such a hurry. It just so happens that the parents have to go back to help the lamb to marry him. It is troublesome to go back and forth. It is better to deal with everything and then come here with peace of mind. ."
She suggested this.
"Well, I think so too. People have to come over, but the property at home cannot be left idle. We must find reliable and trustworthy people to help manage it."
< br /> Lu Baichuan knew that they would definitely stay here permanently, and basically they would not go back during the Chinese New Year. If they really found work in the future, they would have to take root in the capital., Jingzhou needs to handle it properly.
But what the Lu family, who had just made their fortune, lacked most were older, honest and kind loyal servants.
But this is not a big problem. A family does not only include their family, but also Lu Fugui and others, Cui'er and the others are also useful people. As long as they are cultivated, they can still be used. A piece of sky.
Lu Baichuan explained all these clearly in his reply to prevent them from being too anxious and trying to do everything well but failing to do anything well.
The people in Jingzhou were relieved to receive the letter. They thought the situation was urgent, but they had been so busy these days that they were extremely tired.
Knowing that I can wait until winter before going to the capital makes me feel relieved instantly.
After arranging all the things at home, the people from Dongting finally arrived, but they did not come up with a sufficient amount of gold, but wanted to make an IOU with Bei Yan.
Even at this juncture, they are still playing with this idea. The Beiyan people did not accept the move at all, saying that if they did not get what they asked for, they would not let the Prince of Dongting and the Third Prince go back. .
At present, the Prince of Dongting and the Third Prince are obviously the hostages.
The two sides began to negotiate again. Bei Yan was in charge and had enough ability to fight against them, so he was naturally not afraid of them.
Now it was the Prince Dongting and the Third Prince who started to panic.
While they were away from the country, the other princes were restless. Emperor Dongting even planned to give up on them.
But because they were both direct children and sons of the empress, the empress’ mother’s family had been putting pressure on the emperor, and the people had always been concerned about the third prince, which led to the current situation.
If Dongting continues to refuse to give in, the two brothers may really have to surrender to Beiyan. What is the point of fighting for power?
In response to this issue, the Prince of Dongting and the Third Prince met with the officials who sent the gold and contract documents.
You don’t have to guess to know that the two sides had a fierce quarrel. This was also the first time that the crown prince and the third prince had such a tacit understanding of the united front.
The other party said that this was the emperor’s wish, and they just followed it.
But the prince knew. My father would not let these people go in vain, he must have had a backup plan.
Realizing that they still wanted to play tricks on the Beiyan people, the prince and the third prince were very nervous and felt that it was not a good plan, so they persuaded them to stop in time. However, in the eyes of those people, the prince and the third prince were They are too timid and have completely lost the pride of Dongting people.
"Your Highnesses, don't worry, Dongting will naturally not abandon your two Highnesses.Gu, but we can’t let Bei Yan be so cheap. We will discuss with him again to strive for the best interests. "
When they heard this, they both gritted their teeth angrily. If this person hadn't only obeyed the emperor's orders, they would have suspected that he was bribed by several other princes, so he did this. Deliberately embarrass them like this.
But this also shows that Emperor Dongting is really dissatisfied with the two of them.
The two of them can't control their feelings. Sinking, I was afraid that this man would offend Lu Baichuan and his wife, and that they would not end up well in the end, but would delay their return to China.
So the two brothers had a rare unified idea and sent someone to Lu Baichuan Seeing off, they told Lu Baichuan that they still had backup plans, and asked Lu Baichuan not to be merciful and directly force him to hand over the last bargaining chip.
Lu Baichuan understood that they were anxious and did not want to delay time. He was the same, but he also did not want to be People are like gunmen, so they just choose to deal with them coldly.
No matter how they jump around, in the eyes of the Beiyan people, they are just grasshoppers after autumn. They are not a threat, and the longer the time goes on, the worse it will be for them. It was useless.
So after three days of cold treatment, those officials finally relaxed. Emperor Dongting sent them here for a time limit. The prince and the third prince had already wasted too much time. If they keep delaying like this, they will really lose Dongting’s face.
In the end, they honestly handed over all the things.
On the day when the things were sorted out, someone Went to the post house to help the third prince take off his shackles and completely restored his freedom.
The prince sent someone to the Lu family to ask for medicine, and spent a lot of money to buy a bottle of medicine to ensure that he would be safe and smooth on the road. .
After completely sending away the Dongting people, everyone in Beiyan breathed a sigh of relief, finally sending away these plague gods.
But at this time, The annual Mid-Autumn Festival has also arrived.
