Chapter 498 Determining Priorities
When the two families got together, there were a total of twenty or thirty people, and there were more than a dozen children alone.
As soon as the children met, they started playing together. Moreover, Lu Xiao, Qin Han, Qin Yu and others had all studied in Tianshui New Village before and had a good time together.
They are having a great time playing together now, and there is no need for adults to supervise them at all.
Jiang looked at the prosperous Qin family and thought that the third generation of the Lu family only had two little kids, which was too few.
She looked at her little son who was grinning foolishly, and secretly decided that their Lu family had to hurry up and urge Lu Mingzhi to get married tomorrow!
Give her a baby quickly!
Otherwise you will miss the opportunity.
"My dear relatives, over the past year or so, our Qin family has really benefited from the care of your Lu family." Mother Qin said gratefully.
In the past two years, she often felt that the best thing she had done in her life was to marry Ali to Xiaoliu as a daughter-in-law.
Jiang did not take credit for it. "You are too polite, my dear in-laws. Since we are relatives by fate, it is only natural for us to help each other."
While chatting, dinner was prepared and everyone moved to the flower hall.
Because there were too many people, we set up two tables.
Sitting at the main table were Lu Desheng and his wife, Qin's mother, three Lu siblings, and four Qin brothers, while the second table was occupied by female relatives and children.
Everyone was having dinner in a lively atmosphere.
At this time, there was a house not far from the Governor's Mansion. Xue Xu did not stay in the house, but stood with his hands behind his back, looking in the direction of the Governor's Mansion in this quiet snowy night.
At this time, the governor's mansion was brightly lit.
"Second uncle, what are you looking at?" Xian Feng was puzzled. Second uncle was acting strangely tonight. He didn't eat his meal properly and had been standing outside for a quarter of an hour or two. Was the northwest wind so delicious?
Xue Xu didn't say anything, his eyes still looking into the distance dimly.
When Xue Xu accidentally learned at the governor's office that the four Qin brothers were summoned back to Changli, his heart sank.
Looking at the calm and composed Madam Qin Liu, he couldn't help but lift his robe and express his feelings, "Xue is willing to serve the president at his whim."
Xue Xu knew very well that the lord he had to be loyal to was her, not her father, not the Prince Qin, and not the Sixth Master Qin.
Xue Xu still remembers that President Lu's gaze rested on him for a long time before he finally said, "I know you're loyal, but there are some things that an outsider like you shouldn't get too involved in."
And she added later, "Don't worry, I've never failed to get what I want."
"Second uncle? Second uncle?" Xian Feng's call brought Xue Xu back to his senses.
"Second uncle, what's wrong with you?"
Xue Xu didn't want to say more, "It's nothing, go back to the house." As long as the president took action, there would be no problem.
After Xue Xu returned to the house, Xian Feng stood in his uncle's place and peered in from his angle, but couldn't see anything special. He scratched his head in confusion, wondering what was so interesting in the east that his uncle had been staring at for so long.
Governor's Mansion
After the two families had dinner, everyone moved to the meeting room.
Everyone, that is, all those with the surname Qin and Lü, as well as their wives and children, were present.
This was Lu Desheng's request, and he required both families to be present.
The meeting hall is a very serious place. After the children came in and saw that the adults all had serious faces, they gradually quieted down.
After everyone was seated, Lü Desheng said, "We, the Qin and Lü families, have rebelled, seizing control of You and Ping states."
When Lu Desheng said this, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, even the children opened their eyes wide. Children over seven or eight years old already understood what the word "rebellion" meant.
"If the rebellion fails, then we will die. There is absolutely no third way! Everyone must not harbor any hope of luck."
Everyone couldn't help but nod their heads at this.
"We are rebelling, but what about the officers, officials, and common people of Pingyou and Youzhou? Are they willing to follow us?"
Everyone: Well, who can say for sure?
"We need to win their approval, get more people to recognize us, and get them to join us," Lu Desheng continued. "The Governor's Office has previously promised to give everyone in Pingzhou an explanation regarding the rebellion. Tomorrow is the day we will give that explanation."
Most of the women and older children from both families only then realized the importance of tomorrow's day.
"And this statement is not something that can be given casually. It needs to be trusted. So, before that, there is something very important that we need to confirm."
At this time, Lu Desheng's eyes swept over the Qin family.
Qin Heng suddenly understood something, "Uncle Lu, what's the matter? Please speak frankly."
Lu Desheng said in a deep voice, "This manifesto was issued in the name of the Qin and Lu families. But one faction cannot have two voices, otherwise, chaos will inevitably arise. Therefore, we, the Qin and Lu families, must distinguish between the primary and the secondary, and have a backbone."
This sharp issue hit the hearts of both families.
This issue is sharp but also realistic.
At the scene, everyone looked at four people, Lu Desheng, Qin Heng, Qin Sheng and Lu Songli.
"It's very necessary for me to raise this issue. This isn't a fight for power or profit, but once the backbone is determined, a lot of trouble can be avoided in the future."
This time, Lu Desheng's eyes fell on his two sons, especially his eldest son and daughter-in-law. This decision must be made to prevent some people from having inappropriate thoughts.
"Zhiyuan, what do you think?"
Lu Zhiyuan stammered, "I'll listen to Daddy."
At this time, almost no one dared to speak.
After all, Mother Qin was once the mistress of a wealthy family. She looked around and said gently, "Father-in-law, you were the one who raised the banner of this rebellion. I thought that you were the backbone of the organization."
It is undeniable that Lu Desheng played a crucial role in this uprising.
Hearing this, Lu Desheng shook his head and said, "Our Qin Lu faction cannot be led by me."
Lu Desheng is very clear about his own strengths and weaknesses. He is just an old man who is good at talking. Even though his reputation is at its peak now, his followers have to see if he has successors.
Those who are willing to follow them must be those who are willing to work with them at the risk of their lives. If you can't see the future, who would be willing to follow you?
As for his two sons, he knew from a clear conscience that they were not cut out to be heroes.
