Chapter 450 Farewell

Author: Feng Chuxiao

When the Xirong invaded, the emperor personally led the expedition.

It was not until the emperor took Lu Zhaoyi out of the capital that the civil and military ministers in the capital got the news.

It has nothing to do with Lu Shege whether the court is in a panic or not.

Chen Luxing has grown up and has been taught for so many years that if he can't handle even this little thing, it is better to give up his throne as soon as possible so that the people can still live a good life.

The reason why the ministers were delayed in receiving news was naturally because of Lu Sheige's special orders.

If those ministers knew that she wanted to go on a personal expedition, they would definitely stop her. And Lu Xiangge definitely wanted to leave. If she stayed for one more day, she would be resentful, so it would be better to leave early.

Before Lu Sheige left, he specifically told Chen Luxing that the news of her going to Xirong would be released in a day or two.

Anyway, she was ill and hadn't been to the mornings for several mornings. She couldn't think of anything else if she didn't see anyone else for two more mornings.

When she goes far away, no matter who wants to do something, they may not be able to find her trace.

This time, Lu Sheige only brought 300 Yulin Guards with her. She said she was rushing straight to Xirong on a starry night, but in fact, she dispersed these 300 people after crossing the river.

One hundred feather forest guards escorted Lu Qingluan to Guangling. Li Guangming, the then shopkeeper, now serves as the county guard in Guangling.

Li Guangming first raised ducks to lay eggs in Gaoyou. The sizzling, oily double-yolk salted duck eggs became local tributes and were later transported to various places by shippers.

Gaoyou duck eggs were also used as tributes in the previous dynasty and were sent to Beijing by local officials.

The reason why it did not develop vigorously later was because there were few local duck farmers and officials did not act. Gaoyou duck eggs, in addition to being used as tributes, were only sold locally, and few outsiders paid attention to this specialty of a small place.

Li Guangming has been working as a waiter in a restaurant since he was a teenager, and was promoted to shopkeeper at a young age.

He may not be good at being a county magistrate, but when it comes to doing business, among the officials who have studied for 20 to 30 years, none of them can compare to Li Guangming.

In just three years, Li Guangming took Gaoyou salted duck eggs from being unknown to the public, making them a hot commodity that requires dealers to order two or three months in advance to get the goods.

The vast waters around Gaoyou Lake, large lakes, small rivers, and canals in front of and behind the houses in the village are a paradise for ducks.

There is lake and water, so we are not afraid of drought but of waterlogging. When the weather is good, there are fertile fields everywhere. Once floods break out, large areas of farmland and villages under Gaoyou Lake will turn into swamps.

Raising ducks and laying eggs alone can only provide local people with pocket money for oil and salt. Even if they have a lot of wealth, it is not enough to cover a flood.

After Li Guangming became the county magistrate of Gaoyou, he personally led the people to open canals for irrigation, build dams and embankments to strengthen the embankments, and turned thousands of wastelands under the Gaoyou Lake that had been submerged by the lake water into fertile farmland.

Water conservancy has been improved, and ordinary floods will no longer affect the lives of people downstream of Gaoyou Lake. Duck eggs can be sold, and the lives of local people are getting better and better.

Li Guangming went from Gaoyou County Magistrate to Guangling County Magistrate of the third rank today.

Among them, it was Li Guangming who devoted himself to the people and made impressive political achievements, and Lu Xiangge secretly helped him, which made him a small restaurant owner soar to the position he has today.

This time Lu Qingluan will go to seek refuge in the name of the daughter of Li Guangming's benefactor, and will be taken in by Li Guangming and his wife as their adopted daughter.

Due to changes in her family, Lu Qingluan was a boudoir girl who had been a filial piety for several years, lost her husband and lost her mother, and her whole life was delayed, but her family had a small fortune.

Lu Qingluan's house was personally selected by someone sent by Lu Sheige. He lived in a five-entry house next door to Li Guangming's house. The two families lived separated by a wall, making it easier to communicate without causing unnecessary trouble by living together.

Lu Qingluan had a house, money, land, and a shop, and was protected by the foster father of Guangling County Sheriff. Even if someone in Guangling dared to have any bad thoughts because of a woman living alone, they would still have to weigh Li Guangming's power.

From now on, Lu Qingluan can get married if she wants to, or if she doesn't want to. She has a dowry that is not inferior to that of any noble girl from a high family, a foster father who is the county governor, and someone Lu Shege left for her. In Guangling, I am afraid that

No one dares to judge her because she is an orphan.

"Song."

When Lu Qingluan saw Lu Xiangge was about to leave, he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed him.

"Don't you want to go overseas? How about we go to Guangling together, enjoy flowers and tea, and rely on each other for the rest of our lives?"

She kept saying this all the way, knowing that Lu Xiangge had already made up her mind, but she still wanted to give it a try.

"Silly girl."

Lu Xiangge raised his hand and patted Lu Qingluan's head, "In the past ten years, do you still feel that being locked up in a high wall is not enough? I want to go further and see the scenery I have never seen before. I promise you

, if I have had enough wandering outside, I will go to Guangling to find you. Then you will support me."

In fact, these words have been said many times. Even if Lu Shege didn't say it, Lu Qingluan knew that going to Guangling was already the best arrangement for her.

If she had not followed Xiang Ge to the capital, she would have grown up safely in the Lu family. When she grew up, her adoptive parents would have found her a husband who was not inferior to her eldest brother-in-law, second brother-in-law, or third brother-in-law.

From then on, she took care of her husband and raised her children, and went back to the Lu family during holidays to have private conversations with her sisters.

This is probably her life.

But Lu Qingluan didn't want to live such a life. Lu Qingluan knew exactly what kind of people her parents were.

Lu Qingluan felt that with the blood of these two people flowing in her veins, she had better not get married and have children. This kind of dirty and ugly blood was not worthy of being passed on.

Now, she, Lu Qingluan, has everything.

It is completely unnecessary for her to get married and have children.

She is living a good life now. She is protected and cared for by others. She has a house, land, shop and money.

Why marry into a large family that serves other people, have your mother-in-law set the rules, fight your sister-in-law, and your sisters-in-law plotting the family property?

Whether her husband is good or not is no longer an excuse for Lu Qingluan not to want to get married.

Rather, she would lower her quality of life after getting married, so why did she get married?

Just like Xiang Ge, if there is no one to control you, you can go wherever you want and do whatever you want, isn't it?

Lu Qingluan really wanted to go overseas with Lu Shenge, but she knew her temperament and still preferred a comforting life. If Shenge hadn't left the palace, she felt that it was not impossible for her to stay in the palace until she died.

Going to Guangling was already the best arrangement that Shege had made for her, and she couldn't be ungrateful.

Lu Qingluan raised her arms and hugged Lu Sheige, and asked softly the last question in her heart: "Siege, what are your arrangements for the queen?"

"Don't worry, I won't let her and the Gongsun family become Xing'er's weakness." Lu Sheige squinted and looked in the direction of the capital.

She was not a weak-tempered person to be bullied, but Gongsun Wanying had a weak ear and was easily provoked. It is true that she loved Xing'er and Ming'er, but her temperament would not necessarily be a good thing if she stayed in the position of Queen Mother for a long time.
