Northern Song Dynasty: Counterattack and became emperor after the Jingkang Revolution

Chapter 9 Lu Yao loses again

Mrs. Liu glanced at Zhao Yingluo like an enemy, then with tears in her eyes, she lowered her eyebrows and said, "Guardian, after all, Yao'er has never suffered. Let's forget about her experience of farm work in the farm. Wan If she is really going to get hurt, what should we do?"

Lu Haowen had always felt sorry for Mrs. Liu, but when he saw her crying so hard, and when he saw that his daughter was indeed hurt, he softened his heart.

"In that case, don't go to the farm anymore."

When Lu Yao heard that there was no need to go, she smiled like a blooming flower.

Although it was a bit regretful that Zhao Yingluo was not reprimanded by her father, after all, she no longer had to go to the farm, and she no longer had to lose her self-esteem in front of those inferior farmers.

Thinking of this, Lu Yao said with a somewhat provocative tone, "Since my sister is so willing to do farm work, I would like to wish her a bumper harvest until autumn. But the sun is so fierce, so you have to pay attention to sun protection. Really." If you get tanned, no one will want it, but our Lu family can still afford it."

Zhao Yingluo sneered in her heart, and I just laughed!I no longer care about you, but you complained before the meal and provoked me sarcastically.

"What did my sister say? Do you still remember our competition? If my sister can beat me, the experience will be over. But I clearly remember that my sister didn't even pick up a drop of water in the farmland. In other words, you lost this competition, accept it. I have to accept defeat and this farmland experience should continue. What do you think? Uncle."

Lu Haowen's face darkened, and he scolded his daughter a thousand times in his mind. He saw that this matter was over. Why can't you control your mouth and insist on fighting with her?

She is a princess, not to mention you, not even your own father can stand up to her!
Seeing Zhao Yingluo's reluctance, Mrs. Liu stood up and said accusingly, "You kid, why are you so disrespectful? Your uncle just said that Yao'er doesn't have to go to the farm, but you still want her to go, is it possible? Do you have to torture her to make things worse for her before you give up? How can there be a sister like you in the world?"

When Lu Haowen saw that Mrs. Liu was getting more angry, he complained in his heart, "You two are really worried!"

Zhao Yingluo raised her eyebrows, "I was asking my uncle just now. I didn't seem to be asking for your opinion, right? My uncle hasn't spoken yet, but you made the decision for him. Do you think you have more power than your uncle?"

Zhang Xiaoniang and Liu Xiaoniang have never been at odds with each other. Although they are evenly matched in terms of appearance, Lu Haowen still favors Liu Xiaoniang.

Miss Liu was clever and clever. From time to time she would cook some exquisite side dishes or sing a ditty to please Lu Haowen. In addition, she also gave birth to a daughter, so naturally she could not compare to Miss Zhang.

Now that she saw Liu Xiaoniang, who had always been so arrogant, deflated in front of an outsider, Zhang Xiaoniang felt extremely happy.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Since Shen Wanshu is Liu Xiaoniang's enemy, she is naturally her friend. If I don't help her now, when will I help her?

"In my opinion, Wanshu is right. Although Yaoer grew up in Lu Mansion and has not suffered much, it is not a bad thing to go to the fields and experience farm work. Otherwise, if she gets married in the future, her four bodies and grains will not be separated. Knowledge, isn’t it a joke?”

"Besides, if Lang Jun allows Yao'er to go to the farm, it will also show that even though Lang Jun is in a high position, he can still tolerate the hardships of the tenant farmers, which will be of great benefit to Lang Jun's reputation."

Zhao Yingluo was very satisfied with Zhang Xiaoniang's words and nodded slightly to her.

Seeing that things were about to turn around, Lu Yao became a little anxious. She used her best method, walked up to Lu Haowen, gently tugged on his sleeves, and said coquettishly, "Daddy just promised my daughter." , how can you regret it?"

This time it was Lu Haowen's turn to be in trouble. He really wanted to let his daughter go to the farm again, and he couldn't bear it. But if he didn't let his daughter go, what would the princess say?

Seeing that her son was in trouble, the old lady felt a little distressed. Logically speaking, she said, "I think Yao'er should go to the farm to experience it again. I am willing to admit defeat. But after all, Yao'er is weak and often We can't afford the wind and rain, so we go there three times a month, what do you think?" Why didn't Zhao Yingluo understand that although the old lady was talking to her son and asking for his opinion, she was actually asking herself.

Mother and son are connected. How could Lu Haowen not know what the old lady meant, so he followed suit and said, "What mother said makes sense, Wanshu, what do you think?"

Zhao Yingluo pretended to be helpless and said, "Well, since the old lady said so, if I persist, wouldn't it mean that I don't take the old lady seriously and just follow the old lady's advice?"

This time, Lu Yao fell into the hands of Zhao Yingluo again.

After lunch, Lu Haowen invited Zhao Yingluo to the study again. After dismissing the maids and servants, Lu Haowen bowed down and said, "My little daughter's words just now were very offensive. I hope Your Highness the Princess will forgive me."

"I won't argue with her about trivial matters. Mr. Lu, why do you want to see me?"

Lu Haowen sighed and said, "The Jin envoy came to Kaifeng five days ago and proposed that the Song and Jin countries open a market for mutual trade, but General Zong turned the envoy away."

"In Lord Lu's opinion, is this discussion open or closed?"

"Of course it's a good idea to open it! Our Central Plains and the south are rich in products. If we open a quarry market, we can exchange what we have. The Jin people can exchange for their urgently needed salt, iron and other necessities through the quarry market. This intention of invading the south will be Weakened, our Song Dynasty can also use this to recuperate and recuperate, which will be beneficial to the country and the people."

"Master Lu and I agree on the same idea, and we also think it would be a good idea to open a discussion forum!"

"But... you know the temper of General Zong. He believes that the two emperors are still in the hands of the Jin people, and the vast territory north of the three towns of Taiyuan, Zhongshan and Hejian is still in the hands of the Jin people. At this time, if there is an open question Trading with the Jin people is tantamount to surrender, and the old general refuses to trade with them. Therefore, the princess is invited to come and discuss countermeasures."

Zhao Yingluo sighed, Zongze still had the same temperament that he would rather break than bend.

"This matter is not difficult. Mr. Lu can draft a letter and submit it to the emperor's brother in Lin'an. If the emperor issues an edict, General Zong will not violate the emperor's order, right?"

After listening to her suggestion, Lu Haowen hurriedly waved his hand, "It's a no-brainer. Based on my understanding of him, if the imperial court forced General Zong to agree to open a discussion forum, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood."

Zhao Yingluo smiled confidently and said, "Master Lu, please go ahead. General Zong, I have my own ideas."

Lu Haowen asked suspiciously, "Your Highness, please don't play tricks on me. General Zong is the backbone of Kaifeng. If he falls..."

"It's about the fate of the country of the Song Dynasty. How could I do anything wrong?"

After receiving a definite and definite answer, Lu Haowen's frown finally relaxed. If they really wanted to start a negotiation, Song and Jin could maintain peace for at least ten years.

But after a few breaths, he frowned again, "If Your Majesty doesn't agree, what can you do?"

Zhao Qianshu sneered, "Your Majesty? If he still has the courage to regain the territory of the Song Dynasty, how can he be willing to settle down in Jiangnan? The Jin people's request to open a discussion forum is a blessing from heaven for your Majesty."
