Chapter 48

Xie Fu

Early in the morning, Xie Mingtang, Mrs. Xie and Xie Zhan moved to the conference hall after breakfast, drinking tea and eating while waiting for the arrival of the Lu family.

There are two people sitting in the side hall next door, they are Prince Gong and Lu Desheng's top boss, Yushitai Yushi Doctor Zhou Chengzhong. These two people were specially invited by the Xie family, as Chinese people, and after the two families finished discussing, they would be witnesses.

Fortunately, this time the Lu family did not release the pigeons of the Xie family as they did yesterday, and when Chen Shizheng, Lu Desheng and his wife arrived at the Xie family.

The steward of the Xie family welcomed the two into the meeting room.

Xie Zhan found that only Lu Desheng and the two elders from the Lu family came, and Lu Songli didn't come, so he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, and he was stunned? It's like someone else has turned away, and he's still in the same place.

After Lu Desheng and Jiang sat down in the guest seat, after the descendants of the Xie family served tea again, Lu Desheng looked left and right, and found that only the two of them were there, and asked, "Is it just our two families?" Don't need to hire someone? ”

Xie Mingtang answered with a smile, "Brother Lu really wanted to be with me, we have already invited the Chinese people, and they are currently drinking tea next door." ”

Lu Desheng rolled his eyes, he still called him a brother and a brother at this time, and he had no face and no skin!

"Who's invited?" He asked casually.

"Prince Gong and Imperial Doctor Zhou Chengzhong."

Okay, these two are old acquaintances. Lu Desheng nodded, in fact, he didn't care who the Xie family invited this person, anyway, after today's talk, they would be cleared up, and they would not come back to each other in the future.

After the two exchanged two words, Xie Mingtang glanced at his wife and signaled that she could start.

Mrs. Xie's expression was a little stiff, and it was in the past two days that Mrs. Xie knew that the family and her husband and son had hidden such a big thing from her! Lu Songli was unable to conceive an heir because she was injured when she saved her son? No wonder the father-in-law insisted on going his own way, and had to set up the Lu family for his son, you must know that she did not agree to pay her son for the rest of his life because of this. Now everything makes sense.

When she first found out about this, she was so angry. She is the head of the Xie family and the biological mother of her son, and they actually concealed such an important matter from her! The reason Xie Mingtang gave was that he was afraid that after she found out, she would bring it out on her face when she faced the Lu family. In the face of such an explanation, although she was dissatisfied, Mrs. Xie knew that if she had known that Lu Songli could not have children, she would definitely be unconsciously picky when she saw her.

Thinking of the superiority she has shown in front of Lu Songli, the future daughter-in-law, over the years, her face stiffened.

Mrs. Xie pondered how to speak, but Lu Desheng and Jiang Shi were too lazy to talk to them, so they went straight to the point and went straight to the point.

"Without further ado, our intentions, I think you must also know that now your Xie family only needs to return the Ding's relatives and Geng Ti, and from then on, our two families will have nothing to do with each other."

Xie Mingtang pondered and said, "For the marriage between Miss Lu Er and Ah Zhan, our Xie family has always been full of expectations, and our Xie family has always looked forward to Miss Lu Er getting married. However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and the two had no fate. Now the Queen Mother has given the two of them a marriage, and the emperor's order cannot be violated, and our two families have to return the Geng Ti and the Ding relatives, and then marry each other. ”

The Xie family's posture was very low.

Jiang snorted coldly, and the Xie family said that he was as innocent as a white lotus. If it weren't for the Xie family's ambiguous attitude and intentional connivance, why would they let the Zhao family's moths toss like fire? If the Jiang family goes to the afterlife, they will know that the Xie family's practice is the practice of scumbags, and they will not take the initiative to refuse or be responsible. People have passed through the flowers, and the leaves do not touch the body. Disgusting is disgusting, but you can't catch any of his handles.

The Xie family changed their words, "But for the fact that the second miss of the Lu family saved Ah Zhan back then, our Xie family is grateful, and begged the Lu family to give us a chance to compensate our Xie family." ”

As he spoke, Xie Mingtang pushed the box on the table over, and the box opened slightly, and it could be seen that there was a stack of silver tickets inside. The denominations are all 1,000 taels, a thick stack, which looks like about 20,000 or 30,000, which is equivalent to half a dowry when a wealthy daughter gets married. The Xie family is really generous!

"Here are 30,000 taels of silver tickets, which is the intention of our Xie family, and I ask you two elders to accept it on your behalf."

The Xie family has never left anything to criticize in this regard. This money can also be regarded as Xie Zhan's life-saving money, how could the Xie family give less? Giving less is to satirize Xie Zhan for not being worthy.

"I hope that although our two families have no chance to become in-laws, we can get together and disperse."

Lu Desheng pushed the wooden box back.

His move made Mrs. Xie's face change slightly, thinking that they didn't look down on this amount of money and wanted to get an inch.

Xie Mingtang was surprised, did the Lu family refuse? That's a lot of money.

Xie Zhan also raised his eyes and looked over.

"We don't want a silver ticket! If the Xie family is really sincere, it will be converted into food for us. Lu Desheng said the request directly.

Thirty thousand taels of silver?! Xie Mingtang and Xie Zhan, father and son, glanced at each other, and then Xie Mingtang asked Lu Desheng, "What do you want so much food for?" ”

Lu Desheng's eyes flashed, and the Xie family didn't say that they didn't, but only asked them what they wanted so much food for.

However, Xie Zhan's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly added, "We don't have so much food. "At present, the price of a stone of grain fluctuates between four and six pieces of silver. Thirty thousand taels of silver for grain, sixty or seventy thousand stones, right?

Lu Desheng didn't believe it, his daughter had been reading books in his study recently, and was deliberately collecting information about the Xie family, and there must be a basis for her request.

Lu Desheng was about to get up, "It doesn't matter, you can give this food if you want to, and if you don't want to, even if you don't want to." "It's okay to talk about compensation, they only accept compensation in one way, and the rest is not to be discussed. For example, they don't accept this silver ticket.

As soon as Xie Zhan spoke, Xie Mingtang also reacted.

The father and son of the Xie family glanced at each other, this request of the Lu family was either sure that their Xie family had so much food, or they were sure that they had a channel to raise food, no matter which one it was, it made Xie Zhan's heart suddenly, when did the Lu family know so much about the Xie family?

Can't give! The father and son conveyed this thought to each other in their eyes.

"I don't know what Uncle Lu wants so much food for?"

"Build a shed to give porridge, relieve disaster victims, refugees, accumulate virtue and do good deeds for my daughter, I hope that one day in the future, I will meet a doctor to cure her body, so that she can have a son and a half daughter after marriage." Lu Desheng is very straightforward.

This is a bit poignant, and this reason is also well chosen, so that people can't refute it, under the premise that Emperor Kangcheng believes in Buddhism and Taoism cause and effect, they Xie family can't say that it is useless to do good.

The Xie family meant, "Can't you take the silver and buy it yourself?" ”

Xie Zhan thought more, the Empress Dowager had just given them the marriage of the Qin and Lu families, and it was hard not to think that the Lu family's request was to raise grain and grass for the Qin family. The thought of this makes people sour. Just give marriage, so can't you wait for the sake of your in-laws?

Jiang Shi stood up, "Forget it, since your Xie family is not sincere, what's the point of talking about it again?" Sir, go back. ”

Xie Zhan hurriedly said, "Uncle Lu, our Xie family is very sincere in compensating Miss Lu Er, but it is too embarrassing for you to make this request." We really can't do it. Why don't you change to a simpler one? ”

Lu Desheng was very displeased, he was really said by his daughter, tens of thousands of stone grains, the Xie family would not let go no matter what. And he never expected that the Xie family would store so much grain!

Jiang Shi changed his request very happily, "Okay, let's change to a simple one, we want your Xie family to be located in Longcheng, Liaoxi County, a hundred hectares of land in Changshi Village." ”
