Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 917 Dongting people leave
However, you really have to ask the eldest and second brothers about this matter. The emperor showed this intention in advance. Naturally, he also wanted to do everything possible and he could not 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 Mr. Yao, an elder, 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 can't bring trouble to others like this.

The letter was delivered very quickly by pigeons, but on the [-]th or [-]th day, 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 level so as not to embarrass Lu Baichuan.

This was actually what Lu Baichuan expected. In this era, who would refuse an opportunity to be an official except his unruly wife?
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.

I originally 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. I really couldn't worry if the arrangements weren't good.

Since Mr. Lu and Mr. Lu are both 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. It is not easy to make a good handover. easy.

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 finally be together again.

"You can ask eldest brother and the others to come back after winter, so you don't have to be in such a hurry. It just so happens that my parents have to go back to help the lamb say goodbye, so it's troublesome. It's better to deal with everything and then come here with peace of mind."

She suggested so.

"Well, that's what I think too. People have to come over, but the family's property cannot be left idle. We must find reliable and trustworthy people to help manage it."

Lu Baichuan knew that they would definitely stay here permanently and basically not go back during the New Year. If they really found work in the future, they would have to take root in the capital, and Jingzhou would have to handle it properly.

As for the Lu family, which had just made a fortune, what they needed most was older, honest and kind loyal servants.

But this is not a big problem. A family includes not only their family, but also Lu Fugui and others, Cui'er and the others are also useful people. As long as they are trained, they can still hold up the 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 heading to the capital makes me feel instantly relieved.

After arranging all the things at home, the people from Dongting finally arrived, but they did not come up with enough gold, but wanted to pay an IOU to Bei Yan.

Even at this juncture, they are still playing with this idea. The Beiyan people did not accept the offer 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. Beiyan Zhanli had enough ability to fight against them, so he was naturally not afraid of them.

Now it was the Crown 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 the two were legitimate children, both were sons of the queen, the queen's 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 need to guess to know that the two sides had a fierce quarrel. This was the first time that the crown prince and the third prince had such a tacit understanding of a 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 crown 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 crown prince and the third prince were too timid and completely lost their minds. The pride of Dongting people.

"Your Highnesses, don't worry. Dongting will naturally not abandon your Highnesses, but it cannot be so easy on Bei Yan. We will discuss with them again to strive for the best interests."

The two of them gritted their teeth in anger when they heard this. 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 would deliberately embarrass them like this.

But this also shows that Emperor Dongting was really dissatisfied with the two of them.

The two of them couldn't help but feel their hearts sinking, fearing that this man would offend Lu Baichuan and his wife and end up not having a good ending, but would delay their return to China.

So the two brothers had a rare unity of thought and sent someone to see Lu Baichuan off, telling Lu Baichuan that they still had backup plans, and asking Lu Baichuan not to be merciful and directly force him to hand over the last bargaining chip.

Lu Baichuan understood that they were impatient and did not want to delay time, and he was the same, but he also did not want to be used as a weapon, so he chose to deal with it coldly.

No matter how they jump around, in the eyes of the people of Beiyan, they are just grasshoppers after autumn. They are not a threat, and the longer the time goes on, the more useless they will be.

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 kept delaying like this, it would be really embarrassing. It hurt Dongting’s face.

In the end, I handed everything over honestly.

On the day when things were sorted out, someone came to the post house to help the third prince take off his shackles, completely restoring his freedom.

The prince sent someone to the Lu family again 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 the Dongting people were completely sent away, everyone in Beiyan breathed a sigh of relief. They finally sent away these plague gods.

At this time, the annual Mid-Autumn Festival has also arrived.
