“Of course.” Grandma Qiao nodded. “We two old bones are naturally too old to do anything, but what are these young people afraid of? If they can settle down in Beijing, it will be very beneficial for their descendants. So many people can only watch this opportunity.”
“What place is that? That’s the capital city.” She slammed her hand on the table twice to emphasize.
A surge of ambition welled up within the Qiao family, and their hearts were filled with turbulent emotions.
The younger generation actually yearns more than they struggle, and seeing that Grandma Qiao had relented, they naturally let their hopes run wild.
“Being a general under the emperor’s nose is indeed different; there are more opportunities. If you make meritorious contributions, the emperor will notice you very quickly,” said Boss Qiao.
"The letter says that Dacheng and Zhizhi should stay in the capital, and the family should send two or three more men. Which ones should we send?" Old Man Qiao asked.
Some people go to the capital to work hard, while others stay at home to guard their hometowns and homes. In the capital, there are people to live in, as well as large tracts of land to be granted, so people feel very safe.
The men looked at each other, naturally wanting to achieve great deeds and realize their ambitions. Moreover, under the emperor's nose, in a prosperous and thriving city, who wouldn't want to see such a magnificent sight?
But what everyone wants, you shouldn't fight over.
"Father, Mother, you make the arrangements," said Qiao Laosan.
Old Man Qiao then looked at Old Woman Qiao.
After thinking it over carefully, Grandma Qiao said, "To be fair, one person will go from each room."
“Eldest son, Yin’er is pregnant, so Dayong will stay, and the eldest son will go.”
"Second son, Dacheng is in the capital, so the second son doesn't need to go."
“Third son, Xiao Meng is too young, so he stays. The third son and Da Meng will go.”
Grandma Qiao made this arrangement because after the two elders pass away, the descendants will still have to divide the family property, so each branch should be given a chance.
As for the third branch, the situation is a bit special. There are three male members, so only two of them went.
Everyone understood what Old Mrs. Qiao meant and was deeply moved. Indeed, each branch of the family was treated equally, and ample room was left for future development after the division of the family property.
Thinking about how to make our little family thrive in the future, everyone felt even more motivated.
Qiao Laosan hesitated for a moment: "Father, Mother, I'll stay with you too, otherwise you'll only have Second Brother by your side."
"No need," Grandma Qiao said firmly. "Dayong, the second son, and Xiaomeng are all at home, which is more than enough. We're all neighbors here, so if we need anything, we can just call out and someone will come to help. Unlike in the capital, where you can only rely on your family, it's naturally better to have more people around."
"Besides, there's General Guan's family and General Chu in the nearby camp, so we're not afraid of anything bigger."
“Since the eldest brother has gone and the third brother has gone, the eldest brother’s wife and the third brother’s wife should go with them. It’s good for the couple to have each other’s company. There’s a house in the capital. Lian’er has a lot of things to do, and Zhizhi wants to learn new things. You two should take good care of that house. Lian’er wants to expand his business, and you can help him.”
"We've trained some people for our shops in the capital, and we have Lord Shi's support, so we're not worried. As for the other specifics, we'll wait for Lian'er to arrange them."
Grandma Qiao arranged everything neatly and efficiently, and no one had any objections.
