Just imagine, since ancient times, unless it is a marriage, how can there be an envoy to use a woman? Even in marriage, women are often in the position of appendages, and the envoys who really negotiate are men. It is true that Lu Ren is a special case here, but there are also reasons why he couldn't find a more suitable candidate than Zhao Yu at that time. Now that I think about it, if Sun Quan hadn't had this idea, he wouldn't have been able to agree to Xiangxiang's request to be an envoy. And as far as the clerks are concerned, the person who is really responsible for the negotiation is Lu Xun, Xiangxiang is indeed similar to an accessory of a hostage's identity, but it is just an empty name of an envoy - anyway, you Lu Ren sent a female envoy first, and it is reasonable for Sun Quan to send a female envoy back.

Looking back, if Sun Quan makes any moves, with the relationship between Lu Ren and Xiangxiang, Lu Ren will not be able to harm Xiangxiang. But if Lu Ren made any moves against Eastern Wu, then Sun Quan would definitely kill Lu Xun, and even recklessly raze the three Lu clans. From this standpoint, as Xu Shu said, the result of this hostage exchange is really too much of a loss.

Thinking about this, Lu Ren pondered and tapped his fingers on the table, and suddenly smiled after a long time: "Fortunately, although I have suffered a little loss, I don't want to fight any unnecessary battles with Sun Quan." This so-called hostage exchange doesn't really make much sense...... When it comes to turning back, we must give a good explanation to Ziyang, who is stationed in Quanzhou, and we must not relax our vigilance against Sun Quan. And Yuanzhi you here, in the future, Guiyang must also pay attention, never relax! ”

Xu Shu gave up his hand and said: "Subordinates receive orders!" ”

Lu Ren stood up, stretched his waist and smiled: "That's it, there are some things that you and I know enough, and it doesn't make sense to say it too clearly." There's nothing to worry about right now, so let's relax while we're going to have the holidays...... By the way, Yuan Zhi, when I was still in Quanzhou last month, I sent someone back to instruct me to hold a moonlit night lantern festival on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and everyone could have a good time while the moonlight was at that time. Now that they are almost ready, the night market at night these days is much more lively than in the past, and you can accompany Lingtang out for a walk while people are still in Yizhou and people are more free. What is the lantern festival on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival...... Do you think you can ask Yang Qing to play together? But seriously, I'm worried that Ling Tang ......" Lu Ren also pretended to exaggerate and pointed his head and said: "There will be a bit old-fashioned here, I'm afraid that Yang Qing, who is a female official, will not be accepted at that time." ”

Xu Shu smiled dryly: "This is not a matter of effort, and the master has his own measure." In fact, my mother often sighed after hearing that there were female officials in Yizhou, and said to her that if my mother was young and had a small talent, she would definitely earn some fame......

Lu Renxin said it! Mother Xu, this is a typical heart higher than the sky! So when he scolded Xu Shu so harshly, did he hate his son for not being angry, and the jealousy that was not as good as other people's children was at fault? God knows what to do.

After laughing a few words, the two were about to leave the mansion, when suddenly someone came to report that Zhao Yu and Xiangxiang were asking to see each other outside. Lu Ren and Xu Shu glanced at each other, and they didn't know what Xiangxiang was trying to do at this time, so they had to ask the doorman to invite the second daughter into the hall.

The two girls entered the hall and saluted each other, probably because Xiangxiang and Lu Ren were very familiar, and Xiangxiang stretched out her hand to Lu Ren without taking a seat, as if she wanted to ask for something, but Lu Ren was so confused. It was not good to ask Zhao Yu what was going on in front of him, so he could only ask Xiangxiang inexplicably: "What does the county lord mean by this?" ”

Xiangxiang's face showed a little unhappiness: "Lu Yizhou, are you pretending not to know?" ”

Lu Ren shook his head: "I really don't know what the county lord means!" Did I ever take something from the lord of the county? ”

Xiangxiang said: "You didn't take anything from me, but you do owe me something." ”

Lu Ren became more and more confused, and Zhao Yu on the side wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so he could only turn his face sideways and cover his face with his hands. Lu Ren arched his hand to Xiangxiang in embarrassment and said, "Please make it clear to the county lord, what do I Lu Ren owe to the county lord." If it is true, Lu Ren will definitely return it in full. ”

Xiangxiang rolled her eyes and said, "Lu Yizhou, you are really a noble person, how forgetful!" I'm here to get back to the ones I had when I was the commander of the elven battalion! It seems that I have saved a lot of money...... And the steel plate at that time, can you also give it to me? ”

"Ahh

"Lu Yizhou, you are really a noble person, how forgetful! I'm here to get back to the ones I had when I was the commander of the elven battalion! It seems that I have saved a lot of money...... And the steel plate at that time, can you also give it to me? ”

"Ahh

As soon as Xiangxiang said this, Lu Ren's mouth opened wide, and it took a while to react. When Xiangxiang was in Yizhou, because she wanted to be self-reliant, she was the leader of the elf camp for a long time, and of course she also had her own salary. It's just that Xiangxiang is also the lord of Dongwu no matter how she says it, and it can be said that she has been eating since she was a child to open her mouth and clothes to stretch out her hand, so she doesn't care much about this kind of thing. In addition, she lived with Zhao Yu at that time, and with Zhao Yu's secret care, she had no worries about food and clothing, so Xiangxiang's salary has never been received. Occasionally, Xiangxiang wanted to buy something and found that she had no money, so she asked the two maids to withdraw some for use.

Later, because of something, Xiangxiang left Yizhou, and Xiangxiang's salary has always been in the treasury under Zhen Mi's jurisdiction. No one could have imagined that everyone might forget about this, and Xiangxiang suddenly appeared to ask Lu Ren for these salaries...... Anyway, now Lu Ren is being made to cry and laugh.

Looking at the slender jade hand stretched out by Xiangxiang, Lu Ren habitually reached out and scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Why did the county lord suddenly remember these things?" In fact, you've known each other for a long time, so why don't you just go directly to her? ”

Xiangxiang said: "But Lu Yizhou, Shang Xiang must have been away from Yizhou for so long, you don't remember, Sister Zhen is similar to you, I am really embarrassed to ask for it like this." So Shang Xiang wants to ask you for a handwritten letter, and Shang Xiang can also explain to Sister Zhen. ”

It was Lu Ren's turn to roll his eyes, turn back to the table, take a pen and paper, write a handwritten handbook, and hand it to Xiangxiang. While writing Lu Ren, he also secretly said in his heart: "What is this?" It's like taking off your pants and farting - more! ”

After handwriting, Lu Ren handed it to Xiangxiang and asked, "Is the county lord in a hurry to use the money?" How can you say that you are also the lord of Dongwu County, and you are the main envoy of this peace talks, Wu Hou will not even give you the necessary tariffs, right? ”

Xiangxiang snorted softly, held up the handwritten letter written by Lu Rengang and said, "These salaries were originally my own, of course I want to get them back." Again...... I still use my own money, and I don't want to use the official expenses paid by my brother Wu Hou if they are not used in the right place. ”

Hearing this, Lu Ren didn't notice anything, but a little strange flashed in Xu Shu's eyes on the side.

Lu Ren asked again: "So the county lord is going to use the money to buy something he likes?" ”

Xiangxiang smiled and walked around the hall and said, "Yes! This morning I asked Xiaoyu to take me shopping, and I tried it on when I liked this dress, and after trying it on, I thought it fit well and wanted to buy it. But suddenly I remembered that I had no money, and I didn't want Xiaoyu to pay for me, so I remembered the salaries I hadn't taken before. The sword I carried with me was still in the clothing store, and I went to Sister Zhen to pay the money for a while, and I had to redeem it immediately. Lu Yizhou, how do you see me wearing this Yizhou costume? ”

"Huh?"

Lu Ren and Xu Shu froze at the same time, and then took a closer look at Xiangxiang and realized that what she was wearing now was not the kind of long clothes and big sleeves of the Central Plains women in the Han Dynasty, but was designed by Lu Ren, and Wan'er was initially shaped, which could be said to be a unique imitation Tang sleeveless short skirt in Yi and Quanzhou at that time! (ahem...... Spoof again, for Xiangxiang's costumes, please refer to the one in "Sword and Fairy IV" when Han Aya joined the Qionghua faction)

Speaking of which, Lu Ren and Xu Shu didn't notice Xiangxiang's clothes at first, mainly because they had long been used to it. Although this kind of clothing is said to show off the arms and calves, it can show off the girl's good figure, and the other is relatively more convenient than the Han costume with long sleeves and long skirts, so it is very popular with "professional women" in Yi and Quan. This kind of clothing was first secretly spread by the maids in Lu Ren's mansion, and later it became Lu Lan's favorite clothes to wear. There is the leader of Lan County, and Lu Ren, who is the leader of Yi and Quanzhou, has never opposed (where will Lu Ren oppose this?). Not only is it not opposed, but it seems to be more supportive), and now it has not only become the daily clothing of young women in Yi and Quan, but even in the Chaisang Lu clan, there are some bold women who dare to wear it openly. To tell the truth, young and beautiful girls with good figures can indeed look more energetic when they wear such clothes.

said that Xiangxiang showed off there a few more laps, and then took Lu Ren's handwritten letter and Zhao Yu to whisper a few words with satisfaction, and then went to the nearby council building to find Zhen Mi to ask for money. Lu Ren and Xu Shu, who were a little dizzy, were left standing there in a daze, plus Zhao Yu, who shook his head again and again.

Zhao Yu saw that Lu Ren and Xu Shu were still standing stupid, and after coughing a few times to bring the two back to their senses, Zhao Yu said to Lu Ren: "Master, please forgive me, it's not that the disciple doesn't help the county lord Sun pay the purchase money on behalf ......of the customer and loses the number of hospitality courtesy, but the county lord insists on being like this."

Lu Ren waved his hand and said, "Needless to say, I understand." Xiaoyu, the county lord's strong heart is only afraid that she is still far above you, and she has lived in Yizhou for so long, and now she will let you pay for something! If I'm not mistaken, the county lord is afraid that he will buy a lot of gifts for the sisters of the elf camp for a while, and the elf camp must also have her share. Well...... I understand that she wants money, but what does it mean that she wants to get back the original steel card? ”

Zhao Yu snorted: "Master, why did you forget?" Yi and Quanzhou who hold this card, shopping only 20% off. (To be continued.) )
