Chapter 49 One Hundred Hectares of Land

The Xie family was very surprised by this request.

The 100 hectares of land was given to them last year by someone who used their Xie family's connections. Because the land is located in the extreme north and not far from the foreign territory, the land there is not valuable. In addition, the 100 hectares of land is not all plains, so such a large piece of land is barely worth 20,000 taels.

Xie Zhan's mind turned quickly. Longcheng is located in the extreme north of Dali, adjacent to Xianbei on the upper right and Liucheng on the south. Whether it is safety or anything else, there is nothing outstanding there.

The reason why the Lu family knew about this piece of land was also very accidental. Once at a party, he brought Lu Songli to attend. Qushui Liushang, after the banquet, it seems that Liaoxi County was mentioned. The 100 hectares of land was given by others at that time. Unfortunately, he was drunk at the time, and now he couldn't remember any useful information even if he tried hard to recall it.

Is there anything special there that makes the Lu family worry about it?

He suspected that the Lu family had other intentions. In this conversation, on the surface, the Lu family wanted 60,000 to 70,000 shi of grain. After being rejected by them, the 100 hectares of land in Longcheng seemed to be a second choice, but in fact, they had always wanted the 100 hectares of land in Longcheng.

"Although there are 100 hectares of land, it is not worth 30,000 taels." Xie Zhan tried in a roundabout way.

"Do you think we want less? We want more, will you give it? People like you are suspicious." Jiang said sarcastically.

Lu Desheng was angry, "Go back!"

Jiang was also angry, "Go! This compensation was clearly offered by them on their own initiative, but now it seems like they are forced by us!"

"Give it to him!" Xie Mingtang made the decision!

Xie Mingtang saw clearly that no matter what the value of the 100 hectares of land was, the Lu family wanted it. If they didn't give it, the Lu family would overturn the table directly, and the negotiation would collapse directly.

He also thought clearly that if they didn't give it, wouldn't it just give the Lu family a pretext? With Lv Desheng's ability, it should be easy to pull down several people from the Xie family, and the emperor must be happy to see it happen.

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

Finally, under the witness of Prince Gong and Imperial Censor Zhou Chengzhong, the Xie family gave the land deed, and Xie Zhan also took out a silver note of 10,000 taels from the wooden box. This land deed was considered as compensation from the Xie family to Lv Songli, and this 10,000 taels was considered as a dowry for her.

Jiang accepted it unceremoniously. Anyway, after this time, their family and the Xie family will not owe each other anything!

After Lv Desheng and his wife left, Xie Mingtang took Xie Zhan with him and personally sent Prince Gong and Wang Chengzhong away.

When they returned to the meeting room, Mrs. Xie also went to work, and there were only the two of them in the whole room.

"Lv Desheng's knife can't be kept." Xie Mingtang's words were meaningful.

Xie Zhan remained silent.

Now the Xie and Lu families are no longer in-laws, and Lu Desheng still has a bad impression of the Xie family. They are no longer the same kind of people. Moreover, the Lu family has never been polite or soft to their Xie family.

******

When Lu Desheng and Jiang returned to the Lu family, they hurriedly called the housekeeper Chen to come and asked him to personally deliver the engagement letter to the Qin family's house.

After this matter was over, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief. They finally got rid of the Xie family. They also changed their new in-laws. At present, it seems that the new in-laws are still very good, and the future of the little girl has finally been settled.

"Our family will be in-laws with the Qin family in the future. I heard that many civil officials in the court are very targeted at military generals. You should help your in-laws more in the future."

Lu Desheng agreed, "Don't worry, you must not let your in-laws be bullied."

The couple chatted for a while, and inevitably talked about the compensation given by the Xie family. There is nothing to say about 10,000 taels of silver notes.

"Master, what do you think our daughter wants such a far piece of land for?" Jiang took the land deed from the Xie family and looked at it, puzzled. Chang'an City is too far away from Longcheng, and this piece of land is probably difficult to manage. Thinking of this, she was worried.

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

And his daughter said that she would not touch that piece of land in the short term. Her plan was right. In a short period of time, the Xie family would definitely have people pay attention to the movement over there.

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

The daughter mentioned to the two elders that there was a treasure on that piece of land, but she didn't say what it was, 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 worried. Anyway, she knew that her daughter wanted that piece of land, and there must be something special about it. It was fine as long as she didn't suffer any loss.

Jiang was not a person with a strong desire for control. After so many days, her daughter had made her feel at ease. She could basically handle things on her own and even help her father.

Her daughter made her feel at ease. 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. His wife and he had been worrying about his daughter for a while. Now that her daughter's affairs were done, she felt relieved and thought about their 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 was there to worry about when the two little guys were with his parents? To put it bluntly, even if the boss and his wife treat themselves badly, they cannot bear to treat their children badly.

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

Lu Desheng was still happy when his old wife rolled his eyes, but he was very open-minded, who cares who raises her. Just like these days, when his daughter's marriage is going through so many twists and turns, his eldest son and daughter-in-law are still staying in the Tian family to help. He won't criticize his son too much. He will try his best to shoulder this responsibility by himself. He thinks a little about his grandchildren, but he doesn't 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 and grandchildren.

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 enter 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. It was true that she was letting out a bad breath when she did this, but she still had another purpose.

Didn’t Lu Desheng claim to be his beloved daughter? Since this man 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 with a crime of disrespect, and then take advantage of the situation to force him to use the gold medal for immunity from death.

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

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

In just one meeting, the Queen Mother could see that this woman was rebellious and had a high spirit. Others couldn't see it, but she could! Although in Changle Palace that day, except for the first two words of inquiry, she never said anything rude to her again, but her pursuit and beating of Zhao Yutan, in the eyes of the Queen Mother, was the same as hitting her in the face. , deeply offended her. She didn't 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 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.

Then, the Queen Mother became ill, and the anger she was holding in her heart could not be released.
