The Xie family was very surprised by this request.
The one hundred hectares of land was given to them by others last year when they broke up with the Xie family. Because that land is in the far north, not far from foreign territory, the land there is not valuable. In addition, the one hundred hectares of land are not all plains, so such a large piece of land is barely worth two. Ten thousand taels.
Xie Zhan's mind was spinning rapidly. Dragon City is located in the far north of Dali, adjacent to Xianbei on the upper right and Liucheng on the south. There is nothing outstanding there in terms of security or anything else.
The reason why the Lu family knew about this area was quite accidental. Once at a party, he attended with Lu Songli. While drinking wine in the winding river, he seemed to mention Liaoxi 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 recall any useful information even if he tries hard 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 Longcheng seemed to be the next best option. But in fact, what they wanted all along was the land in Longcheng. One hundred hectares of land.
"Although that piece of land is one hundred hectares, it's not worth thirty thousand taels." Xie Zhan probed somewhat indirectly.
"You think we want less? We want more, will you give it to us? People like you are very suspicious." Jiang said in a strange and sinister manner.
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 agreed!
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 easy for several members of the Laxie family to dismount, 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 I don't understand why.
Finally, under the witness of Prince Gong and the imperial censor Zhou Chengzhong, the Xie family gave the land deed. Xie Zhan also took out ten thousand taels of silver notes from the wooden box. The land deed was regarded as the compensation for Lu Songli from the Xie family. Ten thousand taels was enough to give her some makeup.
Jiang 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.
"We 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 towards the Xie family, so they are no longer in the same family. Furthermore, the Lu family was never polite or soft-hearted towards their Xie family.

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 residence.
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. From the looks of it, the new in-laws are still very good. 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, what do you think our daughter wants to do with 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 far away from Dragon City, and this area may be difficult to manage. Thinking of this, she became worried.
Lu Desheng couldn't figure it out either. His daughter only told him that there were treasures in that land. What treasures could there be? Gold and silver? He thought for a moment and then threw it away. No matter what was in that land, it was all his daughter deserved.
Moreover, my daughter has said that she will not touch that land in the short term. Her plan was right. In a short period of time, the Xie family would definitely make people pay attention to what was going on over there.
He thinks too much and doesn'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 elders that there was a treasure on that piece of land, but she didn’t say what it was specifically, and she didn’t ask. The main reason is that she doesn't want to know so much. The more she knows, the more she will worry. Anyway, she knew that her daughter's request for that piece of land must be special, so she didn'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. Jiang's attention was quickly diverted when he mentioned the Tian family, "I don't know if Xiaoxiao and Dandan are used to living and eating in the Tian family."
Lu Desheng was not surprised that she would ask this. His old wife and he had been worrying about their daughter's affairs for a while. Now that her daughter's affairs were finished, she felt relaxed, but she couldn't help but think about 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 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 treasure, so she can't worry when he's 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 will not 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? Moreover, this man was irritable and impulsive, so she was ready. As soon as Lu Desheng appeared in the palace, she would have her own way to punish him with the 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.
