Governor's Mansion
As soon as Lu Yiliang left, Shi Tao rubbed his forehead and was about to take a rest when his second daughter came in.
After Shi Xue came in, she rushed towards him and the first thing she said was, "Dad, you have to make the decision for me."
Shi Tao felt the veins on his forehead twitching. He glanced at his daughter with red eyes, and then at his old wife chasing after his daughter, "What's the plan?"
He couldn't help but wonder, it was usually his daughter who made people so angry, but few people could make his daughter so angry.
Mrs. Xing, the governor's wife, said, "Sir, let me tell you. The thing is like this..."
Shi Tao didn't expect that the wiped out Liufu Village would actually kidnap his daughter? !
Thinking that Lu Yiwei had attacked Lu Desheng because of Liufu Village not long ago, Shi Tao felt a little uncomfortable. But soon, he let go. As a subordinate, there is no one who is not aggrieved. Since Lu Yiwei can bear it, why can't Lu Desheng?
"Sir, I have seen a portrait of Qin Liu, and he does look very talented. He was born in a general, so since he can become the main force in attacking the stronghold, he must be very capable."
"It's his blessing that Xue'er likes him. I also thought that if this thing can happen, firstly, my daughter will repay Qin Liu's life-saving grace, and secondly, with your help, the Qin family can be rehabilitated and separated as soon as possible. Being a prisoner is not enough to bury the Qin family."
Mr. Xing said these words slowly.
Shi Tao squinted his eyes slightly, thinking about the emperor's attitude towards the Qin family.
The Qin family's treatment in Liaodong County is not like that of exiles. Could it be that the emperor wanted to use the Qin family?
Thinking about it, his heart was burning.
"However, Qin Liu and Mr. and Mrs. Lu refused. In fact, if you refuse, you will refuse. It's OK to be more tactful. But they didn't give any face, and actually kicked our Xue'er out directly. This is too much That's too much!" After saying this, Mr. Xing couldn't help but slap the table.
"The reason why I'm so angry is that they don't know how to praise you! Secondly, it can be seen from this that the Lu family has no respect for you, the governor."
Shi Tao thought about Lu Desheng's performance after taking office, and felt that his wife was right. Lu Desheng was indeed quite considerate to him.
Shi Xue on the side took the opportunity to say, "Dad, please help me stretch Lu Desheng and teach them a lesson!"
Shi Tao raised his eyelids, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Mrs. Xing winked at her daughter and said, "Xue'er, please stop saying a few words. Your father doesn't need you to point out what he's doing."
Shi Xue pouted.
Shi Tao really doted on his second daughter, who looked 40-50% similar to him.
The eldest daughter is pretty and beautiful. He has already sent her to Chang'an for the palace election in the second half of the year. The chance of being selected is still very high.
It is not impossible for the second daughter to marry Qin Liu.
Shi Tao said slowly, "Qin Liu is unmoved. Could it be that the rest of the Qin family are unmoved as well?"
If the whole Qin family is so stubborn, then he will have to consider making the Qin family suffer.
Mr. Xing frowned, "I heard from Xue'er that the female relatives of the Qin family seem to be very supportive of Ms. Lu."
Shi Tao didn't take it seriously, thinking that what the Qin family valued was the fact that the Lu family was the daughter of Lu Desheng, so his family's Xue'er's status was not nobler than that of the Lu family?
"Try it, just do as I say."
"also."
On the other side, along the way, Lu Desheng had a friendly conversation with his two neighbors, Wu Chi and Lei Xin.
As they approached Houcheng, the three of them reluctantly said goodbye.
When he returned home, he found Qin Sheng accompanying his wife.
As soon as she saw her husband, Mrs. Jiang asked with concern, "You went to the Governor's Mansion. Didn't you get into trouble?"
"Don't worry, just make things difficult for them. I'm not a vegetarian. If they want to embarrass me, they have to see if I am willing to be embarrassed by them."
At this time, Qin Sheng brought him a cup of tea with a wink, "Father-in-law, have a sip of hot tea."
Lu Desheng took the teacup and looked him over from top to bottom, "There's something wrong with you."
Qin Sheng said.
Lu Desheng didn't drink the cup of tea.
Ms. Jiang on the side advised him, "If your child honors you, just drink it. He is your son-in-law, and he honors you with a cup of tea. Is it possible that you can't drink it?"
Lu Desheng thought about it, indeed, he was his father-in-law, and he could still afford a cup of tea from him. So he used the tea lid to skim off the floating leaves and took a sip of tea.
Mrs. Jiang saw him drinking and said, "After drinking Asheng's tea, you can't argue with your child."
puff!
I can't drink this tea at all.
Lu Desheng put the tea aside and looked at Qin Sheng, "Tell me, what's wrong with you?"
Qin Sheng obediently told the story about Shi Xue.
As soon as Qin Sheng finished speaking, Jiang on the side couldn't wait to say, "A Sheng is not to blame for this." He just saved the person casually, and he just looked a little more handsome. What's wrong with that?
Lu Desheng glanced at his wife helplessly, "Just pamper him."
Jiang said, "It's really not me who favors our Ah Sheng. It's Shi Xue who is shameless. She knew that he was already married, but she still wanted to force her to do it. She also asked our Ah Li to invite herself to the court. Bah!"
Lu Desheng nodded, "What did my daughter say?"
"My daughter said that when the soldiers come, they will be blocked, and when the water comes, the earth will cover them up. During this period, you must bear it first."
Lu Desheng: ...Is this the point of sharing that cup of tea?
Nandi, Ji Mansion
On this day, Ji Wuyin received two letters from Liaodong County.
One was a letter from the eldest son to report that he was safe.
The other letter was specially written to him by Lu Songli.
He opened the first letter. This letter from his eldest son was thick and the content was lengthy.
After the eldest son reported that he was safe, he talked about his meeting with Mrs. Qin Liu, and then mentioned the new things from Liaodong County, and his previous intention to get a batch of new things from Liaodong County back to the south to sell before leaving. The plan was to make a big fortune in the end, but this idea was dissuaded by Mrs. Qin Liu.
The corners of Ji Wuyin's mouth twitched. His son probably thought his old father was very tough, right?
He strongly agrees with Lu Songli's dissuasion. Never think about making the last profit, you have to leave when it's time to leave.
The second letter was very thin. When I opened it, I saw that it was indeed very brief, but it was very important.
After reading it, he thought for a moment and called his confidant butler to give instructions.
After his eldest son went north, he was not idle during this period and was always preparing to leave.
There are still some non-core industries that have not been dealt with. But due to a major disaster in the Southland, the economy was very depressed, and some shops and fields could not be sold at high prices, so he simply let them go.
The large-scale withdrawal of Ji's industries still has an impact on Nandi. Although Xie Zhan has made remedial measures under the advice of others, Nandi's economy has been greatly depressed.
Because Lu Songli stopped Young Master Ji from cheating, Ji Wuyin was able to go north in style.
When Ji Wuyin left, Gu Huaisheng went to see him off.
