Chapter 49

The Xie family was very surprised by this request.

The one hundred hectares of land was given to them last year when they broke up with the Xie family. Because that land is in the far north and not far from foreign territory, the land there is not valuable. Plus the one hundred hectares of land

The land is not all plain, so such a large piece of land is barely worth twenty thousand taels.

Xie Zhan's mind was spinning rapidly. Shangyang County is located in the far north of Dali, adjacent to Xianbei on the upper right and Shanggu County on the left. There is nothing outstanding there in terms of security or anything else.

The reason why the Lu family knew about this land was by chance. At one party, he took Lu Songli to attend. While drinking wine, he seemed to mention Shangyang County. This hundred hectares of land was given as a gift by others at that time.

. It's a pity that he was drunk at the time, and now he can't remember any useful information even if he tries to think about it.

Is there anything special there that worries the Lu family?

He suspected that the Lu family were drunkards who were not interested in drinking. In this conversation, on the surface, the Lu family wanted 60,000 to 70,000 shi of food. After being rejected by them, the 100 hectares of land in Shangyang County seemed to be the next best option.

, but in fact what they wanted was the 100 hectares of land in Shangyang County.

"Although that piece of land is one hundred hectares, it's not worth thirty thousand taels." Xie Zhan probed somewhat circumstantially.

"You think we need less? We want more, will you give it to us? People like you are very suspicious." Jiang said with a strange tone.

Lu Desheng was angry, "Go back!"

Ms. Jiang was also angry, "Let's go! This compensation was obviously offered by them on their own initiative, but now it seems like they were forced by us!"

"Give it to him!" Xie Mingtang decided!

Xie Mingtang saw clearly that no matter what the value of these one hundred hectares of land was, the Lu family wanted it. If they didn't give it, the Lu family would just flip the table, and the negotiation would immediately collapse.

He also thought very clearly that if they didn't give it, wouldn't it just make the Lu family famous? With Lu Desheng's ability, it should be an easy task to dismount a few people from the Xie family, and the emperor must be happy to see it happen.

Xie Zhan didn't say anything. After giving away this land, he always had a bad feeling in his heart. But he didn't understand why.

Finally, under the witness of Prince Gong and the imperial censor Zhou Chengzhong, the Xie family gave the land deed, and Xie Zhan also took out ten thousand taels of silver notes from the wooden box. The land deed was regarded as the Xie family's compensation to Lu Songli.

Ten thousand taels was considered as extra makeup for her.

The Jiang family accepted it unceremoniously. Anyway, after this time, their family and the Xie family will no longer owe each other anything!

After Lu Desheng and his wife left, Xie Mingtang took Xie Zhan to see Prince Gong and Wang Chengzhong off in person.

When they returned to the meeting hall, Mrs. Xie also went to work, and they were the only two people in the whole hall.

"You can't keep this sword from Lu Desheng." Xie Mingtang meant something in his words.

Xie Zhan remained silent.

Now the Xie and Lu families are no longer related by marriage, and Lu Desheng still has a bad feeling for the Xie family, so they are no longer the same family. Furthermore, the Lu family has not been polite or soft-handed to the Xie family at all.

****

When Lu Desheng and Jiang returned to the Lu family, they quickly called Butler Chen and asked him to personally deliver Geng Tie to the Qin family's house.

After this matter was over, the two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief. They finally made peace with the Xie family. They also got new in-laws. At present, it seems that the new in-laws are still very good, and the future of the little girl is finally settled.

.

"Our family and the Qin family will be the in-laws from now on. I heard that many civil servants in the court are very hostile to the generals. You should help the in-laws more in the future."

Lu Desheng agreed, "Don't worry, I definitely can't let my in-laws be bullied."

The couple chatted for a while, and inevitably they talked about the compensation given by the Xie family. The 10,000 taels of silver note was nothing to talk about.

"Master, why do you think our daughter wants a piece of land so far away?" Mrs. Jiang took the land deed that she had obtained from the Xie family and looked over it, very puzzled. Chang'an City is really too far away from Shangyang County.

I'm afraid this land will be difficult to manage. Thinking of this, she became worried.

Lu Desheng couldn't figure it out. His daughter only told him that there were treasures in that land. What kind of treasures would there be? Gold and silver? He thought about it for a moment and then threw it away. No matter what was in that land, it was his daughter who deserved it.

of.

Moreover, my daughter said that she will not touch that land in the short term. Her plan is right. In the short term, the Xie family will definitely make people pay attention to what is going on there.

He thought too much about it, but he didn't want his wife to worry too much, "You, don't think so much. When my daughter comes back from Tian's house, we will give her the land deed and she will arrange it herself, so don't worry about it.

"

The daughter mentioned to the two of them that there was a treasure on that land, but she didn’t say what it was specifically, and she didn’t ask. The main reason was that she didn’t want to know so much. The more she knew, the more she would worry. Anyway, she knew that her daughter wanted that.

A piece of land must have its own special features, as long as you don't suffer any loss.

Jiang is not a person who has a strong need for control. After these days, her daughter has made her feel at ease. She can basically stand alone and even help her father.

The daughter reassured her. When she heard him mention the Tian family, Jiang's attention was quickly diverted, "I don't know if Xiaoxiao and Dandan are used to eating and living in the Tian family."

Lu Desheng was not surprised that she would ask this question. His old wife and he had been worrying about their daughter's affairs for a while. Now that her daughter's affairs were done, she felt relaxed and remembered their pair of lovely grandchildren.

"Don't worry, when the boss and his wife come back, I promise to give you a pair of fat and white grandchildren."

Lu Desheng was not worried at all. What did he have to worry about when the two little guys were with his parents? To put it bluntly, the boss and his wife could not bear to treat their children badly even if they treated him badly.

"You have such a generous heart!" Mrs. Jiang rolled her eyes at him. As the saying goes, if you raise a child to a hundred years old, you will always worry about ninety-nine. The grandson is the grandson's cherished child, so she can't worry when he is not around.

Lu Desheng was still cheerful when his old wife rolled his eyes, but he was very open-minded and took care of whoever raised him. Just like these days, his daughter's marriage has been going through so many twists and turns, and his eldest son and daughter-in-law are still staying at Tian's house to help. He doesn't

Even though he would criticize his son too much, he would try his best to shoulder this responsibility by himself. He had some thoughts about his grandchildren, but he would not worry too much about them.

If Lu Songli knew her thoughts, he would also agree with her. Her father could be regarded as a different kind of son and grandson, and he would be blessed with his own children.

In Changle Palace, the Queen Mother fell ill.

For two consecutive days, the Queen Mother stood on the highest step of Weiyang Palace.

Behind her, countless slaves and maids Wei Ran stood.

The Queen Mother is waiting, what are she waiting for, waiting for Lu Desheng to come into the palace and cause trouble! She issued an edict to cancel the marriage between his daughter and Xie Zhan, and then promised her to Qin Sheng, the youngest son of the Qin family. By doing this, she let out a bad breath.

True, but she still has another purpose.

Didn't Lu Desheng claim to be his beloved daughter? Moreover, this person was irritable and impulsive. She was ready. As soon as Lu Desheng appeared in the palace, she would have her own way to punish him for the crime of disrespect, and then take advantage of the situation to force him to use the stone to avoid death.

gold medal.

She lay awake all night and issued those two decrees early in the morning, which were not entirely motivated.

That night in Changle Palace, Lu Songli didn't even look at Qin Sheng, obviously she didn't like him. So she wanted to put her and Qin Sheng together.

In just one meeting, the Empress Dowager could tell that this woman was rebellious and had a high spirit. Others couldn't see it, but she could! Even though in Changle Palace that day, except for the first two words of inquiry, she never spoke to her again.

She was rude, but her pursuit and fierce beating of Zhao Yutan, in the eyes of the Queen Mother, was the same as hitting her in the face, which deeply offended her. She did not believe that Lu Songli would be willing to marry Qin Sheng.

The Queen Mother hoped that the father and daughter could rely on the emperor's favor and be proud of it.

However, after hearing the report from the people sent out, the Lu family happily accepted the order and negotiated the marriage with the Qin family who came to visit. The next day, they went to the Xie family to get back the engagement token and the Geng Tie. I heard that they even accepted the Xie family's marriage certificate.

The compensation given was witnessed by witnesses.

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother knew that her plan had failed.

It's a pity, I don't know which smart person persuaded him.
