Chapter 918: The Dongting people leave
However, this matter really needs to ask the eldest brother and the second brother what they mean, and the emperor showed this meaning in advance, naturally he also wants to be big and perfect, and he can't let his kindness become the pressure of others.
Lu Baichuan wrote a letter to Jingzhou to ask what the two of them meant.
If they wanted, they should come to the national capital, and they couldn't let an elder from Master Yao go to Jingzhou to teach them knowledge.
What's more, for Master Yao, Jingzhou is his sad place, and he doesn't want to go back in this life, and the Lu family can't touch other people's moldy heads like this.
The letter was sent by pigeons, and the speed was very fast, but on the fifth or sixth day, they received a reply from Lu Lao Da and Lu Lao Er, who were very flattered and expressed their willingness to try slowly from the bottom and not embarrass Lu Baichuan.
This is actually what Lu Baichuan expected, in such an era, except for his unruly daughter-in-law, who would refuse a chance to become an official?
Moreover, this is a gift from the emperor, and not everyone can refuse.
If they refuse, it will be rumored that Lu Baichuan will be ridiculed in the future, and they will feel that Lu Baichuan will be the only one who can attend the Lu family, and everyone else will be a bad breed.
Brothers, only by working together can they really bring hope to this family.
They wrote a letter saying that they would hand over the business in hand, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, they would come to the national capital to start studying.
Originally, I wanted to come before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the family could still have a reunion festival, but the things in hand really couldn't be thrown away, and there were still many things to deal with, and I couldn't rest assured that the arrangements were not good.
Because Lu Boss and Lu Lao Er are coming, then the Yu family and the Qin family must also come, the Yu family has just opened a new restaurant in Jingzhou, and the Qin family has also opened a gambling house, and it is not easy to hand over well.
However, the few babies who are studying in Guozijian don't have to think about going back, they can study in Guozijian with peace of mind, and wait for the children's examination tomorrow spring.
He Jiuniang was also very happy after reading the letter, and the family could be regarded as being together again.
"You can let the eldest brother come back after the winter, don't be so anxious, it just so happens that the father and mother have to go back to help the lamb say goodbye, so it is troublesome to come and go, it is better to take care of everything and then come with peace of mind."
She suggested so.
"Well, I think so too, people have to come, but the family's property can't be wasted, and you must find reliable and trustworthy people to help manage it."
Lu Baichuan knew that they would definitely have to live permanently when they came over, and basically they wouldn't go back for the New Year, and if they really found an errand to do in the future, it would be even more important to take root in the national capital, and Jingzhou would have to deal with it properly.
And the Lu family, which has just made a fortune, lacks the most old and honest and honest loyal servants.
But this is not too much of a problem, a family is not only them, but also Lu Fugui and their clansmen, Cui'er and they are all usable people, as long as they are cultivated, they can still hold up to the sky.
Lu Baichuan explained all this clearly in his reply, so as not to be too anxious and want to do everything well, but not do anything well.
Jingzhou was also relieved to receive the letter, they thought that the situation was very urgent, and they were so busy these days that their feet did not touch the ground, and they were too tired to work.
Knowing that you can wait until winter to go to the national capital, it is instantly a lot easier.
After arranging all these things at home, the people from Dongting finally arrived, but they didn't come up with enough gold, but wanted to make an IOU with Beiyan.
At this juncture, they still play this kind of thought, and the Beiyan people don't accept it at all, saying that if they don't give the things they ask, they won't let the prince of Dongting and the third prince go back.
At present, the crown prince and the third prince of the Eastern Court are obviously hostages.
The two sides began to negotiate again, and Beiyan was in charge and had enough ability to confront it, so he was naturally not afraid of them.
Now it is the prince of the Eastern Court and the third prince who are panicking.
During the time they were not in the country, the other princes were restless, and the Emperor of the Eastern Court even had plans to give up the two of them.
But because the two are sons of the queen, the queen's mother's family has been putting pressure on the emperor, and the people have always been concerned about the three princes, which is why there is today's situation.
If Dongting refuses to give in, the two brothers may really have to fold in Beiyan, what kind of struggle for power are they talking about?
In response to this problem, the crown prince and the third prince of the Eastern Court met with the officials who came to deliver the gold and contract documents.
You don't have to guess to know that the two sides quarreled fiercely, and this is also the first time that the crown prince and the third prince have such a tacit united front.
The other party said that this was all the emperor's intention, and they just did it.
But the prince knew. The father will not let these people run in vain, and he must have left his hands behind.
Realizing that they still wanted to play with 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, but in the eyes of those people, the crown prince and the third prince were too timid and completely lost the arrogance of their Dongting people.
"The two highnesses rest assured, the Eastern Court will naturally not abandon the two highnesses, but it can't be so cheap Beiyan, we will negotiate with it again to get the maximum benefit."
Hearing this, both of them gritted their teeth angrily, if it weren't for the fact that this person was a person who only obeyed the emperor's dispatch, they would all suspect that they had been bought by several other princes, so they would deliberately embarrass them like this.
However, this also shows that the Emperor of the Eastern Court is really dissatisfied with the two of them.
The two of them couldn't control their hearts from sinking, for fear that this person would offend Lu Baichuan and his family, and in the end they would not end well, but would delay their return to China.
So the brothers had a rare unifying idea, sent someone to see Lu Baichuan off, told Lu Baichuan that they still had a back hand, and asked Lu Baichuan not to show mercy to his subordinates, and directly forced him to hand over the last bargaining chip.
Lu Baichuan understood that they were anxious and didn't want to delay time, and so did he, but he didn't want to be used as a gunman, so he directly chose to treat it coldly.
No matter how they jumped, in the eyes of the Beiyan people, they were grasshoppers after autumn, and there was no threat, and the longer it dragged on, it would be useless to them themselves.
So after three days of cold treatment, those officials finally loosened, the emperor of the Eastern Court sent them to such a trip, there is also a time limit, the crown prince and the third prince have already delayed too much time, if they continue to delay like this, it will really lose the face of the Eastern Court.
In the end, I honestly handed over everything.
On the day when the things were cleared, someone went to the post house to help the third prince remove the shackles and completely restore his freedom.
The prince sent someone to Lu's house to ask for medicine, and spent a lot of money to buy a bottle of medicine to ensure that he could be safe and smooth on the road.
After completely sending the Dongting people away, everyone in Beiyan breathed a sigh of relief, and finally sent this group of plague gods away.
And at this time, the annual Mid-Autumn Festival has also arrived.
