Moreover, they soon realized that the Qiao family had taken away several positions, and the three captain positions might fall to the three remaining officers.
When generals are promoted, their compensation will also increase.
The soldiers were comforted and encouraged, and their dejection vanished.
Following General Guan's instructions, Guan Yuqin wrote a letter and released the pigeons.
"Mother, is this letter for Sister Lian'er?" Guan Xue asked.
Guan Yuqin smiled and patted her head: "Yes, your sister Lian'er has become a county princess and has a fiefdom. She is recruiting soldiers now."
"Sister Lian'er is so amazing, I want to learn from her." Guan Song raised her little fist.
The next day, at the crack of dawn, Qiao and his companions said goodbye to their families.
The two elders of the Qiao family gave another round of repeated instructions and exhortations.
“Father, Mother, we’ve discussed it and we’ll take turns coming back to see you,” said the eldest brother, Qiao.
“Alright, but prioritize the affairs of the camp. Don’t always think about going home. It’s under the emperor’s nose. If the higher-ups find out, it will have a bad influence,” Old Man Qiao said.
Grandma Qiao said, "Besides us two old folks who are too old to handle the bumpy ride, we can let them go to the fiefdom to find you. They can also broaden their horizons and see the world."
She had a premonition that after the two of them passed away, the Qiao family would all settle in the capital.
Madam Lü also set off with Qiao Laosan. She held Qiao Laotai's hand and said, "Mother, I'm going to the capital. You'll have to work hard at home from now on. I wish I could be in two places at once so I can take care of both sides. You must take good care of yourselves at home."
"Don't feel burdened. If you can manage the house in the capital well, and if you can manage the shops well, that will already be a great achievement," said Old Madam Qiao. "Go in peace."
“Yes, Third Sister-in-law, with me here, it’s just a matter of household chores. I’ve already become quite skilled at running the shop. You’ll have to start all over again in the capital, which will be even harder for you than for me,” Madam Wan said.
Everyone said goodbye with reluctance.
As for Qiao Yunni, she went to Yuezhou a couple of days ago and doesn't know about this yet.
At the crossroads, Da Meng arrived with several thousand troops, carrying the banner of the Qiao Family Army, exuding an imposing and solemn aura.
Once everyone had gathered, the large group set off.
Most of them were infantry, with a thousand cavalrymen, so they mainly relied on foot to reach the destination. At a rate of over 100 li a day on foot, it would take at least 20 days.
Knowing that the Qiao family was about to establish themselves in the capital, the villagers were filled with envy. With that girl Lian'er's abilities, she would have such a day sooner or later.
This was something they couldn't be envious of; they could only admire it and congratulate the Qiao family.
Grandma Qiao generously handed out sugar cakes to everyone.
The Song and Shen families watched the large group leave, their eyes all red with tears.
In just one year, the Qiao family has had such an opportunity, and now they have begun to climb the social ladder in the capital.
Looking at the two families, Shen Liang has become mentally deranged and senile. The Shen family has pinned all their hopes on him and spent almost all their wealth on his treatment. Now he is finally halfway recovered, but he is still far from being a normal person.
The Song family: the eldest and second eldest sons were punished by the camp for colluding with the enemy, the third son disappeared without a trace, and more than half a month ago, Song Ruier also disappeared without a trace. The Song family has been searching for her, and Old Mrs. Song is about to cry her eyes out.
Seeing that the Qiao family was about to rise further, Old Lady Song couldn't help but burst into tears again, slapping her thigh as she did so.
"Heaven has no eyes! Even rats in the sewers have good lives, but we, an honest family, have ended up like this."
"Mother, so many members of the Qiao family have left. Once the men go to the camp, our chance will come," Shen Shi whispered. "Look at Lingyin's belly, it's getting bigger and bigger."
