Chapter 498 Determining Priorities

After the two families got together, there were 20 to 30 people, and there were more than a dozen children.

As soon as the children met, they started playing together. Moreover, Lv Xiao, Qin Han, Qin Yu and others had studied in Tianshui New Village before and had a good time.

Now they were playing together and had a lot of fun, and they didn't need adults to supervise them at all.

Jiang looked at the prosperous Qin family and thought that the third generation of the Lu family had only two little kids, which was too few.

She looked at her little son who was grinning at the side and secretly decided that their Lu family should hurry up and urge Lu Mingzhi to get married tomorrow!

Hurry up and give her a baby!

Otherwise, she would be late.

"My dear relatives, our Qin family has really benefited from your Lu family's care over the past year." Qin's mother said gratefully.

In the past two years, she often felt that the most correct thing she had done in her life was to hire Ali as a daughter-in-law for Xiaoliu.

Jiang did not take credit for it, "You are too polite, since we are destined to be in-laws, it is only natural for us to help each other."

During the chat, dinner was ready and everyone moved to the flower hall.

Because there were too many people, two tables were set up.

At the main table sat Lu Desheng and his wife, Qin's mother, three Lu brothers and sisters, and four Qin brothers. The second table was composed of women and children.

Everyone was having dinner in a lively manner.

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 very strange tonight. He didn't eat well and had been standing outside for a quarter of an hour or two. Is the northwest wind so delicious?

Xue Xu did not speak, and his eyes were still looking into the distance.

When Xue Xu accidentally learned that the four brothers of the Qin family were summoned back to Changli in the governor's office, his heart shrank.

Looking at the calm and composed Madam Qin Liu, he couldn't help but lift his robe to express his attitude, "Xue is willing to serve the president."

Xue Xu knew very well that the master he wanted to be loyal to was always her, not her father, not the prince Qin, and not the young master Qin Liu.

Xue Xu still remembers that President Lu's eyes fell on him for a long time, and finally said, "I know your loyalty, but there are some things that you, an outsider, should not get involved too deeply."

And she said later, "Don't worry, I have never failed to get what I want."

"Second uncle? Second uncle?" Xian Feng's shouting brought Xue Xu back to his senses.

"Second uncle, what's wrong with you?"

Xue Xu didn't want to say more, "Nothing, go back to the house." The president took action, there would be no problem.

After Xue Xu returned to the house, Xian Feng stood in the position where his second uncle had just been, and looked out from the angle he had just been at, but he didn't see anything special. He scratched his head in confusion, and didn't know what was so good to see in the east that made his second uncle look at it 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 surnames Qin and Lu, as well as women and children, were present.

This was Lu Desheng's request, and he required all the two families to be present.

The meeting room was a very serious place. After the children came in and saw that the adults all had serious faces, they gradually quieted down.

After everyone sat down, Lu Desheng said, "We, the Qin and Lu families, rebelled and split the two states of Youping and rebelled."

When Lu Desheng said this, everyone couldn't help holding their breath, and even the children widened their eyes. Children over seven or eight years old already understood what the word "rebellion" meant.

"If you don't succeed in rebellion, you will die. There is absolutely no third way! Don't be lucky."

This made everyone nod their heads.

"We are rebelling, but what about the officers, officials and common people in Pingzhou and Youzhou? Are they willing to follow us?"

Everyone: Who can say for sure?

"We need to win their approval, and get more people to recognize us and join us." Lu Desheng continued, "The governor's office promised before that it would give everyone in Pingzhou an explanation for the rebellion. Tomorrow is the day we have to give an explanation."

Most of the women and older children of the two families realized the importance of tomorrow.

"And this explanation is not given casually, it needs to be trusted. So before that, there is a very important thing that we need to confirm."

At this time, Lu Desheng's eyes swept over the Qin family.

Qin Heng had some understanding at this time, "Uncle Lu, what's the matter? You can speak frankly."

Lv Desheng said in a deep voice, "The manifesto was issued in the name of the Qin and Lu families. But a force cannot have two voices, otherwise, chaos will inevitably occur. Therefore, our Qin and Lu families must be divided into primary and secondary, and have a backbone."

This sharp question hit the hearts of the two families.

This question is sharp, but also very realistic.

At the scene, everyone looked at four people, Lu Desheng, Qin Heng, Qin Sheng and Lu Songli.

"It is very necessary for me to raise this question. This is not a struggle for power, but after the backbone is determined, a lot of troubles can be avoided in the future."

This time, Lu Desheng's eyes fell on his two sons, especially the eldest son and the eldest daughter-in-law. This decision must be made to prevent some people from having thoughts that they shouldn't have.

"Zhiyuan, what do you think?"

Lv Zhiyuan stammered, "All listen to Dad."

At this time, almost no one dared to speak.

Mother Qin was once the mistress of a wealthy family. She looked around and said in a gentle voice, "Father-in-law, you are the one who raised the banner for this uprising. I think you are the backbone."

It is undeniable that Lv Desheng played a crucial role in this uprising.

Lv Desheng shook his head when he heard this, "We can't have me as the leader of the Qin-Lv faction."

Lv Desheng knew his own strengths very well. He was just an old man who was good at talking. Even though he was now famous, his followers had to see if he had successors.

Those who were willing to follow them must be those who would fight with their heads raised. If they couldn't see the future, who would be willing to follow you?

And his two sons, he said with a clear conscience, were not the material for heroes.
