Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 173 Oath of Sovereignty
It was difficult for Zhao Yun to answer Sun Shangxiang's words. The so-called upright officials can't handle housework, let alone the master's housework.

Zhao Yun was dumb and didn't talk, and Sun Shangxiang didn't ask any more questions.

Although Sun Shangxiang is good at wielding knives, guns and sticks, he was well educated and nurtured by his mother, he is virtuous and knows how to forbear and restrain himself. In general, the wife's family has a strong background. If the husband favors the concubine, then there are usually ways to deal with the concubine. In order to maintain the unshakable position of the main wife.

It has been more than a month since Gan Qian returned to Jiangling, and Sun Shangxiang had been waiting for her to come to see her, but she never expected that she would be so lonely after waiting, that she would ignore her at all.

In fact, it's not that Gan Qian is ignorant of etiquette. She wanted to go to another hospital the day after she returned to Jiangling, but was stopped by Liu Bei.

Gan Qian has no power to restrain the chicken, and Liu Bei is worried that if something happens, he will not be able to explain to Lan Tian, ​​so the matter of coming and going will be over.

When he came to Liu Bei's General Zuo's mansion, Zhao Yun found that Chen Dao's people were not there, so he knew that the lord was not in the mansion, so he advised Sun Shangxiang: "Mrs. Sun, the lord doesn't seem to be in the mansion, why don't I send you back to another courtyard?"

Sun Shangxiang also knew the reason, but her purpose of coming today was to see Gan Qian, so she said, "It's okay, I want to walk around the house, and meet the legendary Yumei by the way."

Zhao Yun was shocked when he heard that, it seemed that the mistress was looking for trouble, he sent people to look for Liu Bei, and at the same time followed Sun Shangxiang, not daring to leave.

Sun Shangxiang went straight to the back hall coldly. When she stepped into the garden, suddenly a small gavel flew over from the yard.

Zhao Yun was about to block it, but Sun Shangxiang turned sideways and easily took the weak 'hidden weapon'.

Sun Shangxiang holds the small mallet in his hand, and there are ropes and tassels on the handle of the hammer, like a wooden weapon for playing.

"Who are you? Return the meteor hammer to me." A Dou followed and ran to the gate of the garden to ask for it, and found that he didn't know the maid, and she didn't intend to return his toy.

"My son." Zhao Yun was afraid that Sun Shangxiang would trouble A Dou, so he saluted Liu Chan first.

"Uncle Zhao." Adou nodded first, then looked at Sun Shangxiang suspiciously, but instinctively did not ask for the meteor hammer.

"You are Ah Dou? You are quite simple and honest." Sun Shangxiang said kindly.

Zhao Yun held A Dou and whispered, "Your Majesty, this is Da Furen."

"Adou, who is talking outside?"

Before Liu Chan came, he was in a hurry to call for someone, and Gan Qian called out while walking outside.

The sound stopped, and the wives and concubines met.

Sun Shangxiang and Gan Qian looked at each other instinctively, one was youthful and beautiful, the other fair and graceful.

"Mother?"

A Dou's call interrupted the brief silence.

Because Zhao Yun's guards were around, Gan Qian guessed the identity of the person who came. She saw her right hand pressed her left hand, and her left hand was pressed on her left hip bone. Then she put her legs together and bent her knees. Qian has seen Madam."

Sun Shangxiang nodded slightly, and said in her heart that you are a person who understands etiquette, "My sister is as clean as jade as rumored."

"I'm an old man, madam, please."

Gan Qian originally invited out of politeness, but Sun Shangxiang frowned slightly, thinking that you really regard yourself as the master?

Before Sun Shangxiang married Liu Bei, she knew that Liu Bei had a concubine and a son. She was backed by her mother's Jiangdong, and she didn't care about the concubine and the concubine at all, but Zhao Yun called out the son just now and let her There was a buzzing in my head.

How could Liu Bei be so anxious to make a three-year-old child his heir?Their Sun family has no such precedent, but the word "shizi" is really an eyesore, and Sun Shangxiang has to re-examine this jade beauty and that naive A Dou.

Before entering the back hall, Sun Shangxiang picked up the small mallet and threw it on the garden tree, hitting the peach blossom on the branch like a shooting star.

A Dou was amazed, but he was not particularly shocked, because he had seen even more sophisticated methods in Quanling.

Gan Qian's residence is simply furnished, and there are only two or three maidservants serving her. After seeing these external things, Sun Shangxiang's unhappiness dissipated a lot.

Sun Shangxiang sat down in the main seat, and Gan Qian asked the maid to bring melons, fruits and tea, but she stood aside and did not speak.

"Sister Gan, please sit down too. I have no relatives in Jiangling. Xuande is busy with his daily military affairs. Now I am lucky to have my sister back to accompany me. I also have a place to talk." Sun Shangxiang pointed to the side.

Gan Qian nodded slightly, "Listen to Madam's orders."

"Where is Sister Gan from?" Sun Shangxiang asked.

Gan Qian: "The concubine is from the country of Pei."

"Are there any parents and brothers in the family?" Sun Shangxiang asked again.

Gan Qian said melancholy: "My mother died early, and Ah Weng also passed away a long time ago, and there is still a younger brother."

Lu Fan had already inquired about Liu Bei's marriage and children in advance. His original wife, Mi Zhen, was born in a merchant family in Xuzhou. Now her two elder brothers, one is Jingzhou Biejia and the other is the prefect of Wuling. Qian's younger brother is also in Jingzhou.

"Brother Ling is also in Jingzhou?" Sun Shangxiang asked.

"Well, he's in Lingling." Gan Qian didn't say Lan Tian's name.

"Could it be Gan Xingba?" Sun Shangxiang asked tentatively.

Gan Qian shook her head, "Ma'am, I misunderstood. I am from Peiguo, and General Gan is from Berkshire."

Among the civil servants and military generals surnamed Gan in Jingzhou, only Gan Ning was Zhonglang General, and the rest were not worthy of the name at all. After learning that Gan Qian's younger brother was not Gan Ning, Sun Shangxiang's last little worry disappeared.

Adou was established as the son, which made Sun Shangxiang puzzled.

The two chatted for a while afterwards, Liu Bei hurried back from the outside, entered the back hall and found that the two were very calm, and the hanging heart finally fell.

"The two ladies are so excited." Liu Bei said with a smile.

"Husband, my sister's conditions here are poor, and there are too few maidservants, why don't you let my sister move to my other courtyard?" Sun Shangxiang suggested.

Before Gan Qian could speak, Liu Bei shook his head again and again: "Mrs. Gan is frugal, and she is not used to living in your other courtyard. I think the current arrangement is very good."

Seeing that Sun Shangxiang hesitated to speak, Gan Qian made a common courtesy and said, "General, you talk first, I'll go see where Shu'er and Wan'er have gone."

"Go." Liu Bei nodded.

"I'm not a jealous wife, but you put sister Gan here, but you left me in another courtyard. If my brother finds out, it might be wrong, but my husband still has to respect the rules of etiquette." Sun Shangxiang said tactfully.

"Bei is not clear about the internal affairs, what do you think Madam should do?" Liu Bei asked.

"Either I move into the General's Mansion, or I set up a separate courtyard for Sister Gan, but this scale should be considered a courtesy"

Before Sun Shangxiang finished speaking, Liu Bei hurriedly said: "It is better to set up a separate courtyard. I will ask someone to arrange it tomorrow. Mrs. Gan is always frugal and will not find a large courtyard."

Sun Shangxiang loves displaying weapons at home. Although Liu Bei is very good at swordsmanship, he doesn't like to have swords in his bedroom, so he immediately decided to arrange a separate courtyard for Gan Qian, so that he can get away with it.

Sun Shangxiang was a little disappointed after hearing this, it seems that Xuande was shocked when he was in the bridal chamber, and it was difficult for him to move into the general's residence.

After chatting briefly, Sun Shangxiang asked puzzledly: "Just now I saw Adou in the courtyard, this child is well-behaved and lively, but there is one thing I don't understand, why Xuande established a son so early?"

"Yuan Benchu ​​and Liu Jingsheng didn't establish a son early, which caused the brothers to kill each other later on. That's why the ministers made this suggestion." Liu Bei said.

Liu Bei's explanation is very convincing, Sun Shangxiang nodded reluctantly convinced, planning to change the establishment after she gave birth to a child, but Liu Bei didn't go to other courtyards often, which made this matter far away.

After going to the general's mansion to declare his sovereignty, Liu Bei asked Zhao Yun to escort Sun Shangxiang back to the other courtyard.

After Sun Shangxiang left, A Dou ran out from nowhere and acted like a baby beside Liu Bei: "Father, this lady is so fierce, just now A Dou was a little scared."

Gan Qian quickly interrupted: "A Dou, don't talk nonsense"

Liu Bei held A Dou in his arms, waved his hands and said, "It's okay, I will find you a yard next to it, and you can't let Uncle Zhi guard your safety."

"Uncle Zhi wants to protect the general, my concubine and Adou should be safe in Jiangling City." Gan Qian shook her head.

Liu Bei nodded slightly and did not speak again. The next day, he found a small courtyard next to the General's Mansion, and asked Gan Qian to move in with her children, and sent several soldiers to guard it.

At this time, Liu Bei has the potential to be a dragon, and he will not be fettered by women at all, so he rarely goes to Sun Shangxiang's other courtyard, and most of the time he still stays at Gan Qian's place.

In the middle of June, Gan Qian sent a letter to Quanling, saying that Adou missed Lan Yuan and Lan Ji, and invited Lan Tian's family to visit Jiangling.

At this time, the summer harvest is busy, and Lantian will go to various counties to inspect rice harvesting as a rule, especially to see the experimental fields cultivated by agricultural scientists. Two-line hybrid rice that has been artificially castrated has begun to be cultivated. This kind of rice does not eat fertilizer and is resistant to diseases The high-yield rice species are especially suitable for this era of abundant manpower.

"Husband, do you want to go after you've been busy for a while?" Seeing Lan Tian, ​​Lu Lingqi hesitated and asked.

Lan Tian shook his head: "I also know about the situation in Jiangling City. Brother-in-law, he dotes on Sister and A Dou and neglects Mrs. Sun, which will definitely make the other party unhappy. After all, she is Sun Quan's biological sister. I guess everyone is looking for trouble. Ah My sister is asking me for help."

"How can this be done? I heard that Mrs. Sun has martial arts, wouldn't my sister be bullied?" Lu Lingqi frowned.

"It's not possible to have a brother-in-law, but most of the servants around sister will have to suffer. It seems that we have to support sister." Lan Tian analyzed.

Lu Lingqi recalled her own experience, raised her head and sighed: "Noble-born women always rely on the power of their mother's family to look up to themselves. This time, I will go to Jiangling with my husband."

Lan Tian nodded, "Alright, let's take some fresh lychees from Lingnan, I remember my sister likes them very much."

Lu Lingqi asked her to pack her luggage that night, and planned to take a boat north to Jiangling the next morning. Now that she had Hua Tuo's anti-sickness pills, she was no longer afraid of taking a boat.

In the early morning of the next day, the family happily walked out of the prefect's mansion. As soon as Lu Lingqi and her two children got into the carriage, Gao Shun rode over.

"Sir, let Xingba accompany you to Jiangling, Lu Tie has an accident in Jiaozhou, I'm going to go south immediately." Gao Shun apologized with fists in his hands.

Seeing Gao Shun's serious expression and Lu Tie's cautious personality, Lan Tian knew that the situation was not good.

After listening to Gao Shun's introduction in a low voice, Lan Tian immediately frowned, and then said in a deep voice, "The situation in Jiaozhou is more complicated, and Boping's personality is not suitable for dealing with it. It would be better for me to go there myself. You can escort your wife to Jiangling." .”

"Wei." Gao Shun was a little excited when he heard this. This time, Lan Tian himself should be able to solve the Jiaozhou problem completely.

At the Quanling Military Port that day, dozens of warships parted ways, Lan Tian led a thousand soldiers from the camp to go south, and Lu Lingqi took the children to go north to Jiangling.

During the agreed family tour, Lan Tian left halfway due to work. Lu Lingqi was a little disappointed, but Lu Tie was one of the eighteen generals in the camp. If something happened, she would still feel sad.

Standing on the deck, Lu Lingqi watched Lantian's fleet go away, and asked Gao Shun puzzled, "Is there something wrong with Lao Lu?"

Gao Shun shook his head, "There was no explanation in the information, but it was mentioned that Lu Tie's injury was very serious, so Mr. Hua took all the genius doctors with him."

"The situation in Jiaozhou is so complicated. I hope that my husband will be able to go once and for all this time." Lu Lingqi said melancholy.

"It's hard for others to say, Mr. will never suffer." Gao Shun nodded.

After Lu Lingqi arrived in Jiangling, she lived directly in Gan Qian's small courtyard, her playmates were very excited after not seeing each other for several months, A Dou led Lan Yuan and Lan Ji to play and play.

Gan Qian looked at the children and asked, "Ziyu went to Jiaozhou, where is Deng Fan's child? Why didn't he follow?"

"Fan'er also went to Jiaozhou with her husband, this child learned Ziyu's calm temperament, and he will become a great talent in the future." Lu Lingqi explained.

When the two were talking, Gan Qian's maid brought the washed lychee, Lu Lingqi saw that the little girl had bruises on her hands and forehead, she asked suspiciously: "What is the injury on this girl's body?"

"It's all random disasters." Gan Qian sighed.

"Is Madam Sun so domineering?" Lu Lingqi frowned.

"Xuande often comes here to see A Dou, and Mrs. Sun can understand how upset she is. The servants and maidservants who followed her from Jiangdong are all skilled in martial arts. The girls around me will inevitably suffer some grievances. I try to keep them as little as possible. Going out," Gan Qian explained.

"It's not an option for my sister to just be patient," Lu Lingqi said to herself.

After Lu Lingqi arrived in Jiangling, Gao Shun's men temporarily replaced Gan Qian's guards, and the heavy armor soldiers who were trapped in the camp stood guard at the gate of the other courtyard. But not long after they changed shifts, they were provoked by two rogues in the city.

The two hooligans named Wu Zuo and Wu You, descended from Sun Shangxiang's mother's clan in the same hometown, they had a high status among the servants of the other courtyard. When it comes to the stability of the Sun Liu alliance, they turn a blind eye to it.

After Gan Qian returned to Jiangling, Sun Shangxiang was left out. Wu Zuo and Wu You were filled with righteous indignation. They did not dare to provoke Liu Bei, so they turned their attention to the people around Gan Qian.

During the past few months, the maids around Gan Qian, the servants in the courtyard, and the grooms were all bullied to varying degrees. Gan Qian couldn't bear it before she wrote to Lan Tian.

Wu Zuo and Wu You didn't dare to provoke the guards at first, because Chen Dao's guards were also Jiangling's elite, but the sudden change of the gate made them want to test it out.

Did Chen Dao replace the elite?The newly replaced guards were fully armored in the hot weather, maybe they were a few strong outsiders but capable insiders.

Just when the two were tentatively insulting, they were punched and kicked three times by the trapped soldiers until they vomited blood.

As soon as the master kung fu is shot, you will know if there is one.

Although Wu Zuo and Wu You have some martial arts skills, they are all full of punches and embroidered legs. They are not enough to look at in front of professional soldiers. In the end, when they ran away, they kept shouting: "You wait for me!"

The soldiers in the formation were all killing moves. Although they didn't use weapons, they still beat the Wu family brothers into a mess. Wu Zuo's right hand was broken, and Wu You's five teeth were knocked out.

The close servants were devastated outside, so they could only go back to Sun Shangxiang's other courtyard to complain.

"Those two soldiers were so rude. We just passed by the small courtyard, and we were beaten up like this. Miss, you have to give us back the decision."

Wu Zuo cried while covering his severed hand. Wu You could only kneel beside him and sell miserably because his teeth were knocked out and his speech was slurred.

Looking at the two prostrating people, Sun Shangxiang raised his head and reprimanded in a deep voice: "I told you a long time ago that you should pay attention to propriety, too much arrogance will be counterproductive, Chen Shuzhi's soldiers are so easy to provoke?"

"Miss, we really didn't cause trouble, but those guards took the initiative to attack. Could it be that Mrs. Gan didn't want to bear it?" Wu Zuo said solemnly, completely forgetting the provocative move just now.

Sun Shangxiang said coldly: "Even if you are a bit domineering, with Mrs. Gan's status as a concubine, what if she can't bear it?"

"Although Mrs. Gan is a concubine, her son is the son of the eldest son. General Liu and Miss are very affectionate because the governor won a big victory in Chibi. I am a strong man from Jiangdong. Now the governor has passed away unfortunately. Do you have any other ideas?" Wu Zuo whispered.

In that era of aristocratic families, there are interests behind the in-laws. Once there is no interest, no matter how happy the marriage is, it may not work. Sun Shangxiang knows this reason better than anyone else.

"Although Zhou Gongjin died, I, Jiangdong's [-] athletes are still there, so Xuande will not be so short-sighted." Sun Shangxiang comforted herself.

"It's all good. Gente's Ben Hu Si Shovel Ze" Wu You added a little excitedly.

This guy had a few teeth knocked out, and now his mouth is swollen and his speech leaks out, so he can't speak clearly.

"What did you say?" Sun Shangxiang asked with a frown.

Wu Zuo quickly translated: "Brother You said that it was not Chen Dao's guards who beat us. Miss, look at how badly he was beaten."

"Not Chen Dao's soldier? Has Xuande changed?" Sun Shangxiang was a little puzzled.

"Miss, did Mrs. Gan find some new backing?" Wu Zuo asked.

Sun Shangxiang asked coldly: "How do the soldiers who beat you compare to Chen Shuzhi's original soldiers?"

"The equipment is well equipped and more powerful." Although Wu Zuo was talking nonsense just now, he still answered honestly at this time.

Sun Shangxiang suddenly stood up, and Wu Zuo described that he was not Chen Dao's soldier at all. Could it be that Gan Qian really has some backing?She turned to the two and asked, "Don't worry about it now, right? I'll take you there to discuss an explanation, and I'll go to Mr. Zhongjing later to have a look, and it will definitely be as good as before."

"I'm fine."

As soon as Wu Zuo heard that Miss was going to help him get ahead, the pain of breaking his hand was instantly forgotten and he nodded excitedly. Wu You beside him looked at him pitifully. There was nothing wrong with Zhang Zhongjing's superb medical skills, but these few teeth I'm afraid it won't grow out.

As soon as Sun Shangxiang left the other courtyard, Zhao Yun, who was nearby, got the news immediately, and rode a horse to block the way of a group of female generals.

"Where is Madam going?" Zhao Yun got off his horse and clasped his fists in greeting.

Sun Shangxiang pointed to the two people next to him, and said coldly: "These two useless things were innocently beaten by Mrs. Gan's door just now. I will take them to see the doctor."

The brothers of the Wu family can be regarded as celebrities in Jiangling City, relying on Sun Shangxiang's relationship to misbehave, he turns a blind eye to the lord, how dare the people of Chen Dao?Zhao Yun was both shocked and puzzled.

"Will there be any misunderstandings? If Yun takes them to the medical school for treatment, I won't bother Madam to go this way." Zhao Yun saw that Sun Shangxiang was furious, and quickly began to make a big deal.

"Can't I just walk around?" Sun Shangxiang glared.

"Yun dare not." Zhao Yun lowered his head and cupped his fists.

"Humph."

Sun Shangxiang snorted coldly, strode forward with her head held high, and a few maids followed behind. Zhao Yun had only seen this kind of battle a few months ago when Gan Qian first returned to Jiangling. Report to Liu Bei.

A group of people walked two streets and came to the gate of Gan Qian's small courtyard.

Wu Zuo pointed at the two heavily armored guards and burst into tears. Sun Shangxiang suddenly felt very familiar. Zhao Yun, who was walking at the end, was startled, wondering why the soldiers trapped in the camp appeared here?

"Where is General Gao?" Zhao Yun asked before Sun Shangxiang.

"Wait a minute, everyone, I'll invite you right away." A soldier turned around and walked into the small courtyard after finishing speaking.

The moment the courtyard door was pushed open, Sun Shangxiang glanced inside. Soldiers in the same clothes were patrolling in line. She was shocked and wondered why there were so many people here?Are you guarding against me?

"General Zilong, do you know their commander?" Sun Shangxiang was very puzzled.

"Madam should have seen it too." Zhao Yun remembered that Sun Shangxiang also went to Yicun to eat roast lamb. How could he have never seen the working camp and their commander Gao Shun?
"I've seen it?" Sun Shangxiang was surprised.

Gao Shun walked out of the small courtyard and bowed to everyone, "Mrs. Sun, General Zilong, please speak inside."

At the time of disaster relief in Yicun, Gao Shun was wearing kimono, and the soldiers were working lightly. The situation is just the opposite now. Gao Shun is wearing light uniforms, and the soldiers are wearing heavy armor. Although Sun Shangxiang thinks it looks familiar, but Didn't tie them together.

Sun Shangxiang asked Wu Zuo and others to wait in the front yard, and she and Zhao Yun followed Gao Shun into the front hall. She wanted to see what medicine was being sold in Ganqian's gourd, but she found the stunningly beautiful Lu Lingqi.

Women are naturally beautiful and jealous. They mistakenly think that Lu Lingqi is Liu Beixin's concubine. The key point is that this woman has no respect at all in her eyes. Isn't she too arrogant?

Lv Lingqi is nearly [-] years old, and she is full of charm. She is beautiful and heroic. When she looks at Sun Shangxiang, she thinks of her young self.

"Sister Gan, this is..." Sun Shangxiang felt the sharpness in Lu Lingqi's eyes.

"Mom, why did you come here? Come and play with us in the backyard." Lan Ji suddenly rushed out from the back hall, but seeing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, he slipped out again immediately.

Sun Shangxiang frowned and her head was buzzing, thinking that this woman still has such a big son?
