Chapter 483 The First Day of the Wedding
The first day of the wedding.
My eldest brother and sister-in-law slept until noon.
The dowry nanny and the maid walked around the door several times, trying to wake them up several times.
They were all stopped outside the door by Aunt Xiuxiu.
"Go away and don't disturb their sweet love."
"Madam Xiuxiu, the princess and the marquis still have to serve tea to the lady. How can you sleep like this?" The old nanny stamped her feet anxiously.
No bride is allowed to offer tea to her mother-in-law on her first day of marriage, and the princess is no exception.
The princess specifically instructed this before she got married.
What should I do?
Xiu Xu chased the man out of the yard: "In Lu Garden, there are not so many rules. Besides, my elder sister went out early this morning. Before she left, she specifically told me to serve tea when she came back."
The old nanny opened her mouth and said nothing more, but she was really happy for the princess in her heart.
Mrs. Lu must be feeling sorry for the young couple.
Do you think Lu Yuan really has no rules?
not necessarily.
She had taken a look as soon as she got up in the morning. Although there were not many people working in Lu Garden, everything was well kept in order and the flowers and plants were lush.
The servants all did their jobs, and I didn't see any cheating or slacking off. Moreover, everyone worked very hard.
It's also strange.
If this happened in Prince Liang's mansion, with so few people and so much work to do, there would have been complaints a long time ago.
But these people seem to be very happy doing it.
Her princess has some lessons to learn.
Princess Rong'an and Lu Zifeng were also shocked when they got up.
Except for the times when he was injured and bedridden, Lu Zifeng had never gotten up so late.
This woman's gentleness is indeed addictive.
Princess Rong An was so embarrassed that she dug her toes into the ground and glared at the dowry nanny.
Knowing that it was my mother-in-law's intention, I felt a little relieved.
While eating, Miaomiao saw that her sister-in-law's face was flushed and she was rubbing her waist from time to time. She looked at her eldest brother with a shy look.
And the way that the eldest brother likes someone is that he wants to give her all the delicious food in the world.
It used to be given to my sister.
Now all the delicious food is put into the wife's bowl: "Yuan'er, eat more and replenish yourself. You are too thin."
In an instant, Princess Rong'an's face turned even redder, like a ripe red apple, and she glared at her husband.
Lu Zifeng looked confused: "What's wrong? You are indeed very thin."
"You...you still say that." Princess Rong'an buried her head in his arms and pinched him.
This fool!
Miaomiao almost spit out a mouthful of rice.
Lu Ziyan buried his head even deeper, suppressing his laughter and eating silently.
Lu Qingyao and Xiuxiu looked at each other, held back their smiles, and were delighted.
It looked like she would be a grandmother soon.
I'm both excited and looking forward to it.
The meal was weird.
The whole family was secretly watching the young couple, even the eldest brother, who was a little dull, noticed it.
"Miaomiao, why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?"
Miaomiao: "...Brother, did you get sister-in-law's lip balm on your face?"
Lu Zifeng's face turned red instantly, all the way to his ears.
Looking at Lu Qingyao: "Mother, don't you care about your sister?"
Miaomiao wanted to laugh. It was rare that her big brother would blush!
However, Lu Qingyao lost her composure. She covered her daughter's mouth and changed her position.
Move between her and Xiuxiu.
Thus began the eldest brother's shameless life.
A-niang then turned her attention to her second brother and chatted with him after dinner: "Yan'er, your brother is married. What about you? Do you have a favorite young lady?"
"No." Lu Ziyan answered without hesitation.
Seeing how cold-hearted he was, never even looking at other girls, Lu Qingyao felt a little worried.
Especially after getting closer to Prime Minister Cui, he became more worried.
I’m afraid he will be like Prime Minister Cui.
Cui Xiang was a first-rate official, but he was not very good as a husband and father.
It took me so many years to find out that I have a daughter.
In Miaomiao's words, her father is a workaholic.
She looked at her son and said, "Really? If there is one, I will help you find a marriage partner. However, anyone can be suitable, not just those princesses and princesses in the palace."
Lu Ziyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mother, you really dare to think so."
"So what kind do you like? Tell us and we'll keep an eye out for you." Xiuxiu came over and joked.
Lu Ziyan thought for a moment and looked at Miaomiao: "Anyone prettier than my sister will do."
Then A Niang hit me on the head.
"Lu Ziyan, why don't you just say you want to marry a fairy? Is there anyone in this world better than your sister? Are you kidding me?"
Miaomiao rubbed against A Niang.
It turns out that she is so good in A Niang's heart. I am so happy!
"Mother, I have just entered the officialdom and am overwhelmed. I don't have time to think about these things. Please don't make things difficult for me." Lu Ziyan looked resentful and bowed to his mother.
He is really busy.
It's true that I don't want to get married.
When Lu Qingyao heard this, she became a little worried: "But what happened?"
"The emperor has sent Prime Minister Cui to the border to negotiate peace with the northern barbarians, and I have to go with him." This was Prime Minister Cui's proposal, and it was also the first major state affair he participated in in his life.
The success or failure of this negotiation is related to the peace between the two countries and the long-term stability of Daliang in the future.
If the talks go well, they can exchange the least amount of benefits for long-term peace. If the talks fail, it means that one day in the future, the two countries will go to war again.
This is the most important event this year.
So he was nervous and excited.
Miaomiao thought of her mother's new business, tea, and immediately said, "Mother, let's go to the border to sell tea too."
She remembered that tea was very precious in ancient times, comparable to gold, and could even be used as currency.
Moreover, nomadic people consume huge amounts of tea.
It can be said that if people in the Central Plains do not drink tea for three days, their meals will lose their flavor, and if nomadic people do not drink tea for three days, they will easily get sick.
"Okay, we'll go too," Lu Qingyao nodded with a smile.
"Mother, no need. I can handle it. Besides, we have Prime Minister Cui." Lu Ziyan thought that his mother was worried about him.
But it is not.
Lu Qingyao smiled and said, "It's not all for you. Now that you have reached a peace agreement, you want to open a trade market. Do the Northern Barbarians need tea? Then wouldn't it be perfect for me to go with you?"
Lu Ziyan looked at his mother. Even he could not match her keen sense for business opportunities.
"What Auntie said makes sense."
"Not only that, from now on, Daliang can cut off the supply of tea bricks to the Northern Barbarians, especially the tea bricks that flow out of the black market. We must conduct strict investigations. It would be best if both the black and white tea can be controlled by the court." Lu Qingyao said, and wrote to her son the location, methods, etc. of the black market for tea trading that she discovered in the north.
She knew that there would be a day for peace talks.
So the last time I went to the North, I checked it out.
Lu Ziyan understood immediately that the day of peace talks was still at least a month away. If they cut off the supply of tea bricks from the north, causing the northern barbarians to suffer from a tea shortage, they would be at a disadvantage before the talks even started.
"Don't worry, mother. I will report this to the emperor tomorrow morning."
Miaomiao even wants to give A Niang a thumbs up.
Isn't this equivalent to modern economic sanctions? Cutting off their tea supply is more serious than cutting off their food supply.
But tea is only available in Daliang.
A'niang was also extremely efficient and found the princess's mother the next day.
"Your Highness, I'm going to travel to the north for business in a few days. Do you think Miaomiao should stay in the capital with you or follow me?"
