Transmigrated Little Farm Girl Bringing Great Fortune

The first day of marriage.

The older brother and sister-in-law slept until the sun was high in the sky.

The dowry maids and servants circled the door several times, trying to wake them up each time.

Aunt Xiuxiu stopped them all at the door.

"Go away, don't disturb their sweet time together."

"Miss Xiuxiu, the princess and the prince consort still need to serve tea to the madam. How can she be sleeping like this!" The old nanny stamped her foot anxiously.

On the first day of marriage, no new bride is allowed to serve tea to her mother-in-law, and even a princess is no exception.

The princess had specifically instructed her to do so before her marriage.

What a good thing!

Xiu Xu chased the person out of the courtyard: "In Lu Garden, there aren't so many rules. Besides, my elder sister went out early this morning and specifically told me to wait for her to come back before serving tea."

The old nanny opened her mouth but said nothing more, though she was genuinely happy for the princess.

Mrs. Lu must be feeling sorry for the young couple.

Is it true that Lu Garden has no rules?

not necessarily.

She had checked it out early in the morning. Although there weren't many servants in Lu Garden, it was well-managed and the flowers and plants were lush.

The servants each performed their duties, and I didn't see anyone shirking their responsibilities. In fact, everyone worked very hard.

Also weird.

If this were in the Liang Prince's mansion, with so few people and so much work to do, there would have been a lot of complaints long ago.

But these people seemed to be having a lot of fun.

Her family's princess has something to learn.

Princess Rong'an and Lu Zifeng were also startled when they got up.

Aside from the days when he was injured and bedridden, Lu Zifeng had never gotten up so late before.

This woman's gentle embrace is indeed intoxicating.

During the meal, Miao Miao noticed that her sister-in-law's face was flushed, she was rubbing her lower back from time to time, and she looked at her older brother with a shy expression.

The eldest brother's way of showing affection for someone is to want to give her all the delicious food in the world.

It used to be for my younger sister.

Now all the delicious food is being put into his wife's bowl: "Yuan'er, eat more and nourish yourself, you're 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 bewildered: "What's wrong? Yuan'er, you are indeed very thin."

“You…you still dare to say that.” Princess Rong’an buried her head in his arm and pinched him.

This fool!

Miaomiao almost spat out her mouthful of rice.

Lu Ziyan buried his head even deeper, suppressing a laugh, and silently ate his rice.

Lu Qingyao and Xiuxiu exchanged a glance, suppressing their laughter, but secretly overjoyed.

It seems she'll be a grandmother soon.

I'm so excited and looking forward to it!

The meal was quite strange.

Miao Miao discovered that the whole family was secretly watching the young couple, even her somewhat dull older brother noticed.

"Miaomiao, why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?"

Miao Miao: "...Big brother, did you smear sister-in-law's lipstick on your face?"

Lu Zifeng's face instantly turned red, red all the way to his ears.

Looking at Lu Qingyao, she said, "Mother, aren't you going to do anything about my sister?"

Miao Miao almost laughed. It was rare to see her older brother blushing!

Lu Qingyao was not calm. She covered her daughter's mouth and moved her to another position.

She moved between her and Xiuxiu.

And so began the eldest brother's shameless and carefree life.

Mother then turned her attention to her second brother, chatting after dinner: "Yan'er, your brother is already married, what about you, do you have a girl you like?"

"No," Lu Ziyan replied without hesitation.

Seeing his cold-hearted and indifferent attitude, never even glancing at other girls, Lu Qingyao felt somewhat worried.

He became even more worried, especially after getting closer to Prime Minister Choi.

I'm afraid he'll be just like Prime Minister Cui.

Cui was first-rate as an official, but not so good as a husband and father.

I only found out I had a daughter after all these years.

In Miaomiao's words, it's quite magical.

She looked at her son and said, "Really? If so, your mother will go and find you a match. But anyone is fine, except for those princesses and noblewomen in the palace."

Lu Ziyan was both amused and exasperated: "Mother, you really have a wild imagination."

"Then what do you like?"

Lu Ziyan thought for a moment, then looked at Miaomiao: "Anyone prettier than my sister will do."

Then my mother hit me on the head.

"Lu Ziyan, why don't you say you'd marry a celestial beauty? Is there anyone in the world more beautiful than your sister? Are you kidding me?"

Miaomiao snuggled up to her mother.

So that's how beautiful she is in her mother's eyes! I'm so happy!

“Mother, I’ve just started my official career and I’m overwhelmed with work. I don’t have time to think about these things. Please don’t make things difficult for me.” Lu Ziyan bowed to his mother with a mournful expression.

He is genuinely busy.

It's true that she doesn't want to get married.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingyao also became somewhat worried: "Did something happen?"

"The Emperor has sent Prime Minister Cui to the border to negotiate peace with the northern barbarians, and I must go with him." This was Prime Minister Cui's suggestion, and it was also the first major political event he had ever participated in.

Whether this negotiation goes well or not is related to the peace between the two countries and the long-term stability of Daliang.

If the talks go well, lasting peace can be achieved with minimal gains; if they break down, it means that one day in the future, the two countries will once again be at war.

This is the most important event of the year.

So he was both nervous and excited.

Miaomiao thought of her mother's new business, tea, and immediately suggested, "Mother, let's go to the border to sell tea too."

She remembered that tea was extremely precious in ancient times, comparable to gold, and could even be used as currency.

Moreover, nomadic peoples consume a huge amount of tea, and people in the Central Plains would lose their appetite if they didn't drink tea for three days.

Nomadic people will get sick if they don't drink tea for three days.

“Okay, we’ll go too,” Lu Qingyao nodded with a smile.

"Mother, no need, I can handle it, and besides, there's Prime Minister Cui." Lu Ziyan thought his mother was worried about him.

But no.

Lu Qingyao smiled and said, "It's not entirely for you. Now that you've reached an agreement, you're going to open a trade market, right? And the Northern Barbarians need tea, so it would be perfect if I went with you."

Lu Ziyan looked at his mother, whose keen sense of business opportunities far surpassed even his own.

“Mother is right.”

"Not only that, from now on, the Great Liang can cut off the supply of tea bricks to the Northern Barbarians, especially the tea bricks flowing out of the black market. We must investigate them more thoroughly, and it would be best to control both the legitimate and illegal tea trades in the hands of the imperial court." As Lu Qingyao spoke, she also wrote down the location, methods, and other details of the black market for tea trading that she had discovered in the North for her son.

She knew that there would eventually be a day of peace talks.

So I looked it up while I was in the North last time I went there.

Lu Ziyan immediately understood that there was still at least a month before the peace talks were to begin. Cutting off the tea brick supply to the north would cause a tea shortage among the northern barbarians, putting them at a disadvantage even before the talks started.

"Don't worry, Mother, I will submit a memorial to the Emperor first thing tomorrow morning."

Miaomiao wanted to give her mother a thumbs up.

Isn't this equivalent to modern economic sanctions? Cutting off their tea supply is even more serious than cutting off their food supply.

Unfortunately, tea is only available in Daliang.

Mother was also very efficient; she summoned the princess the very next day.

"Princess, I plan to set off for the northern lands for business and travel in a few days. Do you think Miaomiao should stay in the capital with you, or come with me?"
