The Lu family, the leader of the four major families in Beijing, suddenly treated Madam Lu so well that Madam Lu was a little flattered.
You have to know that County Magistrate Lu is just a branch of the Lu family, and County Magistrate Lu is a rather stubborn person who is unwilling to get involved in the disputes between the imperial court and the aristocratic families in the capital.
Living in a remote corner, being a small county magistrate and governing the people there, can be considered a fulfilling life.
But things happened to him, and now even if he didn't want to go to Beijing, he couldn't get involved with the Lu family.
As a blessing in disguise, the most powerful person in the Lu family is Lu Chengzhi's father, the Prince's Tutor Lu Xiuwen.
Since he had ordered Mrs. Lu and her family to move to the capital, they would definitely go.
Mrs. Lu was happy because not only were they going to live in the capital, but even the children's affairs had been arranged.
The four children of the Lu family, Lu Yunzheng, Lu Yunqing and Lu Yunyang, can all enter the academy, and their daughter Lu Yunxi can also enter to study with the Lu sisters.
A big family has its own strength, and a big family also has its own rules.
Lu Chengzhi came to make arrangements personally, and Madam Lu and Aunt Sun began to pack up and head to the capital.
The next afternoon, Lu Yunzheng returned without stopping.
He knew the inside story that Mrs. Lu didn't know.
Seeing that Lu Yunqing and Lu Yunyang were also going to the capital, Lu Yunzheng felt indescribable anger in his heart.
"Mother, even if we have to go to take care of father, we can go and let Yunqing and Yunyang stay."
Mrs. Lu was a little surprised: "Why? Your grandfather's family has been settled, Yunqing doesn't have to do business anymore, he can also study together, or he can become an official."
However, Lu Yunzheng knew that the Lu family in Beijing only wanted to control him and used his family as bargaining chips.
"Mother, the capital is not as good as I imagined. The reason why the Lu family is willing to help father review the case is because the iceberg snow lotus was found by my son."
Mrs. Lu was surprised: "You found it? Then why didn't you present it directly to the Queen Mother?"
This is why Lu Yunzheng is struggling. He currently does not have the ability to meet the Queen Mother.
The reason why the Lu family could help him was because he was useful. The Lu family was not that kind-hearted. There were so many people with the surname Lu in the Zhou Dynasty, and they would help anyone with the same surname.
Seeing that Mrs. Lu was not making sense, Lu Yunzheng sighed and said, "Well, since mother must bring Xi'er and Yang'er to Beijing, let Qiao'er go with you. I will feel more at ease with her around."
Madam Lu was slightly startled, and looked at Lu Yunzheng up and down with a puzzled look. After a long while, she asked, "Zheng'er, I have something to ask you."
"Mother, please speak."
"Miss Qiao'er is no longer a maid of the Lu family, but you still keep her by your side. Do you have any feelings for her?"
Lu Yunzheng knelt on the ground with a thump, clasped his hands together, and looked determined.
"Mother, I love Qiao'er and want to marry her."
"What? You want to marry her?" Mrs. Lu's doubts became reality, and she couldn't accept it.
Lu Yunzheng straightened up, his eyes firm, "Yes, mother, ever since Qiao'er rescued my son, there has been no other woman in my son's heart."
"Now our family is going to the capital. I still have a lot of things to do and can't take care of my mother. I want to marry Qiao'er so that she can take care of her mother legitimately."
As a mother, she knows her son best.
Once he makes up his mind to something, even ten oxen cannot pull him back.
Mrs. Lu looked into Lu Yunzheng's sincere eyes. She knew that she had to marry this daughter-in-law whether she wanted to or not.
But she was unwilling.
"Son, with your talent and appearance, there will be many noble ladies who will be attracted to you when you arrive in the capital. Don't be anxious. Wait until our family affairs are settled before talking about your marriage."
Lu Yunzheng felt a little uneasy, so he took Mrs. Lu's hand and asked her to swear.
Madam Lu was a little annoyed: "Why, can your mother still lie to you?"
Although Liu Qiaoer is very capable, she has a quirky personality. Lu Yunzheng also knows that Madam Lu dislikes her, so he doesn't dare to force Madam Lu to agree.
I had no choice but to take a step back and said, "Okay, I have to go to the capital to do some things first. Aze will bring mother to the capital and go to Yuzhou City first. Qiao'er will wait for you there. You two can go together."
Mrs. Lu was very satisfied when she saw Lu Yunzheng compromise.
"We don't have much to collect, and we can set off in three to five days. Go and do your work. Yunqing is here."
Lu Yunzheng didn't expect that the Lu family would let all of them come to Beijing, and he didn't expect that Lu Chengzhi would threaten him with their property.
He only kept a hundred acres of fertile land, and left all the other shops and restaurants to Lu Chengzhi.
However, he took away everyone from Zui Le Fang, as well as Liu Qiao'er's favorite Qi Xi Opera Troupe.
Liu Qiaoer, who stayed in Yuzhou City, received the news from Lu Yunzheng and sighed helplessly.
"After all, we are doing this for the Lu family in the capital."
Gu Mubai was also a little unhappy: "The Lu family's appetite is too big. It's fine to let Yun Zheng do things for them, but they actually want the property in Yuzhou City, saying that they want Lu Chengzhi to manage it for us. Who knows if those who benefit from it will give us a penny in the end."
Liu Qiaoer was also a little angry about the greed of the Lu family in Beijing.
"It's not a good thing for the Lu family in Beijing to be too greedy. Sooner or later, he will be starved to death."
Gu Mubai sighed and said, "In the capital, we still have to rely on the Lu family. If the matter of Lord Lu can be settled this time, Yun Zheng will participate in the imperial examination again. With his ability, he will definitely find a way to get rid of the Lu family."
Lu Yunzheng had been gone for four or five days. Liu Qiaoer knew that he had gone to the capital first. This time, Magistrate Lu's case would be retried, which would have a great impact on him. It remained to be seen whether he could restore his reputation.
With the experience of working for others in Fengxin County, Liu Qiaoer asked her subordinates to buy more land and produce more grain in Yuzhou City when she made more money. In the era of poverty, grain was the primary productive force.
Moreover, the fertile land is something that no one can take away. Even if the emperor wants to confiscate the property, he will leave the fertile land behind. At least leaving something behind does not seem so heartless.
As for Liu Qiaoer, the main reason was that the seeds in the space seemed to be different from those in reality. She wanted to try planting the seeds in the space on real land to see if she could increase the harvest.
If the harvest can be increased, the people's output can be increased, so that no one will go hungry and there will be no famine everywhere.
As soon as we settled down here, Doctor Zhu came over.
"Miss Liu, we don't need the Iceberg Snow Lotus now. Princess Mingxin's illness has been cured. But didn't you say you have the Tianshan Red Lotus? If you can cure the young master's illness, our Medicine King Valley will be under your command from now on."
Young Master? Who is it
The next day, Doctor Zhu brought a child about three or four years old.
He had a delicate face, a childish look, and big eyes that shone with a clear light. He looked somewhat like Lu Yunyang.
Liu Qiaoer was surprised: "This, this can't be Master Ziyu's son."
Doctor Zhu almost vomited blood: "No, no, this is the Sixth Prince. He was raised by the Queen only because his mother was of low birth. However, he was weak and sickly since childhood and grew up in Medicine King Valley."
