Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1287 Tangled person

  Sun Ce is also struggling with the troubles of his marriage recently.

As the eldest son of the Sun family, Sun Ce is already in his early twenties this year without knowing it. Twenty years old was already considered a remarkable age in the Han Dynasty, especially for a large number of gentry Haoyou who started to marry at the age of fifteen or sixteen. This age is indeed a bit old, and some things begin to become urgent and obvious. The most influential ones are the loyal old servants and a few old nuns in the family. They have been talking about something lately. Interested and Sun Ce described in detail some ladies who were probably suitable for marriage...

  Especially when these old people found that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were getting closer.

   These things made Sun Ce feel a little distressed.

It's not that Sun Ce completely rejects such things as getting married, because with Sun Ce's current status, or from the perspective of the long-term inheritance of the entire Sun family, or from the perspective of traditional education in the Han Dynasty, getting married and having children earlier is actually beneficial to the entire family. It's all very good, after all, in an era where having no descendants is basically unfilial.

But the problem is that Sun Ce has always felt that he doesn't like those delicate women who stay in the boudoir all day. He still has some expectations for the future marriage. Therefore, I always stay away from the proposals of the old people in the family, and I am not very interested.

  The education received from childhood can often affect a person's life, and the most important teacher among them is his parents after all. Sun Jianda can be said to be an ambitious big man and angry youth, which has a great influence on Sun Ce. Since he was a child, Sun Jian would often teach him and his younger brother the honor of the Sun family, and also describe Sun Jian's own ideal of making contributions...

In addition, since he was a child, Sun Ce basically wandered with Sun Jian, and Sun Jian spent most of his time mixing with soldiers in the military camp, so he developed Sun Ce's straightforward personality. It is precisely because of this that Sun Ce's remaining generals such as Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, including the soldiers under his banner, quickly accepted Sun Ce.

  It was late in the afternoon. When walking through the market by the Qinhuai River, there were pedestrians from far and near. After the spring snow melted, business travelers also began to pass through Jiangning City. From time to time, you can see long-distance travelers walking through the market with their horses, and there are also well-equipped business escorts nearby, guarding their horses and horses. Some start from the local area, and some come from cities not far away, passing through Jiangning. It was also possible to relax a little bit, the bodyguards with knives and guns looked around in the market, talking loudly, discussing the prosperity of the city with their companions.

  In Shouchun City, flags or signboards are hung at the entrances of shops on both sides of the road, and there are often stone steps between shops near the river for boarding boats or washing clothes. Although the winter chill has just melted away and the surrounding willows have not yet sprouted, some birds have already flown over and twittered, reminding everyone that spring is coming.

  There are painted boats coming on the blue waves of the river, singing and singing.

  It was a prosperous scene for a while, but once you leave the city and actually set foot on the surrounding villages and counties, such a prosperous scene is rare to see.

Originally, Yuan Shu was in Runan, Yuzhou, because although the battle with Cao Cao was mutually beneficial, most of them lost. The gentry also complained a lot. The elders of the Yuan family would inevitably come to the door to chatter. Yuan Shu was so annoyed that he moved the administrative office to Shouchun in a fit of anger.

Speaking of which, Yuan Shu almost killed Cao Cao. Just a few days ago, Cao Cao's troops came to Wuping County. As a result, Yuan Si, Chen Xiang, who was left behind by Yuan Shu, could not resist, so he feigned surrender. Taking advantage of Cao Cao's unpreparedness, he took Yuan Fortunately, Qin Zhen's father, Qin Shao, impersonated Cao Cao. When Yuan's family chased him down, he didn't distinguish carefully, and mistakenly thought he was Cao Cao, so he hurriedly killed Qin Shao and fled to avoid Cao Jun's attack. Retaliation saved Cao Cao from disaster.

   When the news reached Shouchun, Yuan Shu just regretted it for a while, and then let it go. I don’t know if it’s a pity that he failed to kill Cao Cao, or it’s a pity that Yuan Si’s feint-surrender may be more dangerous than good...

  Anyway, Sun Ce didn't know, he just knew what Yuan Shu was going to award him this time, in recognition of his achievements in the strategy of the Jiangdong area.

  Well, when Yuan Shu said that he would give Sun Ce a prefect, he didn't know where he would be appointed?

   "Gong Jin, do you think the guy on the boat seems to be Yang Changshi?" Sun Ce's sharp eyes saw a guy shaking his head on the boat far away on the Shouchun River.

  In this early spring weather, it really makes people lazy and unable to bring up much tension. The spring breeze is blowing and the water is rippling. It is a good time.

   "Well, it should be, but the painting boat belongs to the Qiao family." Zhou Yu squinted at the drawing boat that was approaching, and said lightly.

  Sun Ce opened his eyes wide: "Hey, how do you even know this?"

  Zhou Yu lowered his eyelids and said, "Didn't you see the words on the bow?"

   "Huh?" Sun Ce quickly turned his head to look, "There are really words!"

  The painted boat drifted slowly down the river. There are three floors of the painting boat, but it is quite lively. Yang Hong and Yang Changshi, wearing a scarf and wearing a scarf, stand at the bow of the boat, but they are also very personable. On the widest first floor in the middle of the painting boat, there also seemed to be a few young gentry children, wearing brocade gowns and fluttering kerchiefs on their heads, writing something with their heads down, or holding up a piece of paper to read something aloud. A literary meeting held in the painting boat.

  The painted boats with carved beams and painted buildings sail in the breath of early spring, which is indeed a bit pleasing to the eye.

  Yang Hong, under Yuan Shu's command, also had a bit of literary talent, so he was also somewhat famous. Obviously, this time he came to judge these young gentry children, and he was standing at the bow of the boat to comment on a certain person's essays and poems.

   "General Qiao Ruiqiao?" Zhou Yu also looked at the boat, and suddenly found a figure, and said a little puzzled, "General Qiao holds a literary conference? What is this going to do?"

  Qiao Rui is a military general, although he is not unintelligible, but if you talk about literary talent, it is definitely not very relevant, and a military general holds a literary meeting, this matter...

The boat is getting closer and closer, and there are many people standing on the bank of the river looking at the boat like Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, and because of Yuan Shu's arrival and the collection of a large number of supplies, Shouchun City presents a sickly prosperous attitude, so the river bank There are also many gentry children riding horses in the surrounding area, all of them are dressed in brocade clothes, which are bright and beautiful, but those wearing military uniforms like Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are not very conspicuous.

Suddenly there was a commotion among the crowd, Sun Ce went in without knowing it, only heard something like something opened, and then saw the window of the small attic above the third floor of the painting boat opened at some time, revealing two beautiful and lustful faces. dripping face.

   "Oh, this is the Wenhui, but it's just the son-in-law who was elected to the cabinet..." Zhou Yu smiled slightly, but when he turned around, he saw Sun Ce was in a daze, "Bo Fu? What's the matter? What are you looking at?"

  Perhaps it was because the crowd on the shore was booing too much, and the windows on the small attic of the painting boat were quickly closed again, causing bursts of sighs.

  Sun Ce came back to his senses and said, "Ah? What did you say?"

  Zhou Yu smiled and said, "If Bo Fu is interested, then hurry up..."

   "Hurry up?" Sun Ce failed to react, and subconsciously followed up. Before Zhou Yu could explain, he grabbed Zhou Yu's arm excitedly and said, "Gong Jin, did you see it? Did you see it?"

   "Huh? What did you see? What did you see?" Zhou Yu asked a little strangely. Zhou Yu didn't care much about female sex. This situation is no wonder, after all, in Zhou Yu's world, no matter how good-looking women are, they are not as good-looking as he himself.

"Hey! I want to marry her!" Sun Ce said excitedly without beginning or end. Anyway, he knew that even if he spoke in confusion, Zhou Yu could still understand, "I found it! Hehehe, just right, we two brothers, They are also two, one for me, one for you..."

  Zhou Yu laughed dumbfounded, and said, "What, this is the share? Wouldn't it be better to give you both?"

  Sun Ce shook his head, and flatly refused: "No, you and I are brothers, but you will get half of everything I have! That's it!"

  Zhou Yu shook his head, and did not argue with Sun Ce about the allocation or not. In his opinion, he hadn't written a word yet, so he repeated: "That Bofu, you really have to hurry up!"

   "Well, I'll hurry up. But why hurry up?" Sun Ce asked subconsciously. Anyway, when Zhou Yu was by his side, Sun Ce didn't bother to think much.

"Hurry up and propose marriage, haven't you seen so many children from the family on the boat? I'm afraid this literary meeting was organized by General Qiao to choose a son-in-law..." Zhou Yu said with a smile, "But... didn't you often say before that you would marry someone who can marry you? The woman who went to the battlefield? Why today... um?"

"Ah? This... this..." Sun Ce rolled his eyes, "That's right, that's right, I said... Mr. Qiao just happened to be a general in command of the army. There must be a family tradition! Yes! That's it! Ah ha ha ha... ah! Gong Jin, what did you just say? It’s hard to believe that Qiao Gong is choosing a son-in-law on the boat? Ah! Hurry up, hurry up! Get on the horse, hurry up, I want to get on the boat!”

Zhou Yu quickly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute! Bo Fu, you haven't seen Yuan Gong since you entered the city, so you can't go on some kind of boat first! Besides, it's not like you can get married just by boarding a boat, so don't worry about it! It's important to see Duke Yuan first!"

   "Tsk...then Gongjin, you have to help me, you know I'm not very good at poetry..." Sun Ce stopped, turned to look at Zhou Yu and said.

  Zhou Yu nodded: "Help, didn't you help me that time? Let's go, it's important to see Yuan Gong first!"

  ………………

"...The way of husband and wife is to match yin and yang, understand the gods, believe in the righteousness of heaven and earth, and the great integrity of human relations. It is the meaning of "Book of Poetry" and "Guan Ju" when men and women are honored in "Li". , must be emphasized. If a husband is not virtuous, he will not be able to control his wife; if a woman is not virtuous, then he will be unable to serve her husband..."

  Big Joe is struggling with the fact that he is about to grow up.

  As the eldest daughter of Qiao Rui, she was fourteen years old last year, and she will be fifteen after Chinese New Year this year.

  Fifteenth, the woman Xu married, and made it sweet, called the word.

  Fifteen years old was considered the age to marry in the Han Dynasty. For Da Qiao, some things began to become urgent and obvious. The most influential one was that his father began to consider finding a husband for himself during the Chinese New Year. Once, she vaguely asked her and her sister for their opinions, and recently she was busy comparing the young leaders in Yangzhou, and these things made her feel a little distressed.

   But, it’s not that Da Qiao completely rejects getting married.

From the perspective of "Women's Commandments", couples are a big number in the world, no matter men and women grow up, they will face problems, so Da Qiao is not very contradictory, but sometimes it is inevitable to imagine what the future husband-in-law will be like What kind of things should she do when she becomes someone else's wife? Just thinking about it all the time will make Da Qiao blush and Xia Fei's cheeks.

   "Sister~" Xiao Qiao trotted up and down, pulled Da Qiao's sleeve and dragged it out, "Let's go, let's go, someone is playing the piano in the backyard~"

  Big Joe was dragged crookedly, and quickly put down the "Women's Commandments" in his hand, and said while walking along: "Ah, stop dragging, what's wrong? What's the matter?"

  Xiao Qiao smiled and said, "I was in the backyard just now, and I heard someone playing the piano outside the courtyard. It sounds so good~"

   "It sounds good, but why are you dragging me?" Da Qiao was dragged away by Xiao Qiao, "Ah, don't run away, can't you walk well?"

   "Stop watching "Female Commandments" every day, you'll be stupefied!" Xiao Qiao turned her head and said, "I really should go out for a walk, um...how about we go catch fish some other day!"

"Go there to catch fish... Uh, no, really, I was led astray by you, now... now we are big girls, we can't be casual... oh, slow down..." Da Qiao was being led to trot, while he wanted to As he spoke, his breath was a little bit off, and he was panting unevenly.

  Little Qiao stopped abruptly, Da Qiao couldn't hold back his feet, almost bumped into him, quickly put his hands on Xiao Qiao's back, and was about to speak to complain, but Xiao Qiao covered his mouth.

   "Hush..." Xiao Qiao said mysteriously, "Listen..."

   "Um..." Big Qiao grabbed Xiao Qiao's hand.

   "Don't move around, listen carefully!" Xiao Qiao didn't turn her head, her ears were pricked up like a little rabbit, her round eyes moved from side to side.

   "Hmm!" Da Qiao pulled off Xiao Qiao's hand with all his strength, took a few breaths before patted Xiao Qiao, and said, "Huh! You! You are covering my nose!"

   "Huh? Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Xiao Qiao finally came to his senses, and then said quickly, "Listen, sister, don't you play well~"

  When Big Qiao and Xiao Qiao were fighting together, Qiao Rui walked over from the front yard and coughed: "Cough...well, what are you two doing?"

  Little Qiao was taken aback, and hurriedly shrank half of her body behind Big Qiao.

   "I have seen my lord father..." Da Qiao hurriedly saluted Qiao Rui.

"Yeah." Qiao Rui came over and before he could speak, he frowned suddenly, then froze for a moment, and then shouted loudly, "You dare to play the piano outside a certain backyard to disturb me! Come on! Give me Open the back door and fight to get out!"
