Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 850

The 13th year of Yankang, May
In Wujun, Yangzhou, Huanglong came out of the well.

"Peng~~"

The arrow was accurately thrown into the distant barrel.

Sun Jian couldn't help but clapped his hands and shouted, "Haha, I hit it!"

This is the Taiwei's Mansion. Since the position of Taiwei became empty, the once bustling Taiwei's Mansion has become so deserted, especially after the children have grown up one by one and each has their own family. With his own mansion, even Sun Jian's youngest child has now gone to Yizhou to serve as the county magistrate, and Sun Jian is the only one left in Nuo Da's mansion.

Fortunately, Liu Bei would often come to visit him. The two chatted in this courtyard, talked about the past, and also talked about the future of the big man. Occasionally, they would play games like they did when they were young, and they lived a leisurely life. It is their favorite game, ten arrows, two people take turns throwing arrows, just hit the barrel, and whoever hits the most times will be the winner.

However, this time, it was Liu Bei who won, and this was not the first time. Liu Bei hit a total of six shots, while Sun Jian only hit two. Liu Bei occasionally had to give way to this stubborn old man. If you lose, you have to replay, and you will never give up easily. Sun Jian is too old, with a trembling body, to be able to hit two or three shots is very impressive.

Seeing Sun Jian's complacent look, Liu Bei couldn't help laughing and scolding: "I hit six shots!"

"What? You have a tumor on your head?" Sun Jian turned his head, stared at Liu Bei's head carefully, shook his head and said, "I didn't see any tumor, you, you have to make excuses if you lose, you look at you."

"What kind of tumor, I said I won!"

"Has the rain stopped?" Sun Jian raised his head and looked at the sky, with a suspicious expression on his face, "No, it's not raining at all?"

Liu Bei's face was flushed, and he could only amplify his voice and shout: "I said I won!!!"

Hearing the cry, Sun Jian trembled all over, and said angrily: "If you win, you win. Why are you shouting so loudly? You won once. You are so many years younger than me. What is there to be proud of when you win?" Huh? If you win, you will be so arrogant, and you want to let all Luoyang know? You need to be more humble!!" Liu Bei sighed, with a helpless face, and didn't speak again. Seriously, I don't even want to look for him anymore.

"Another round?" Sun Jian couldn't help asking.

Liu Bei didn't speak, just shook his head.

Seeing that he didn't want to play anymore, Sun Jian was also angry. He walked forward tremblingly, bent down slowly, and picked up the arrow on the ground. He was still muttering, of course he was cursing secretly. Liu Bei, however, probably couldn't feel it himself, Liu Bei could hear his muttering completely, and Liu Bei looked at him helplessly.

"If I were ten years younger, just like you...heh, when I was young...cough cough cough cough when I was young, I was called the Jiangdong Tiger...just like that, I can strangle two of you with one hand, If you lose, you will argue, and if you win, you will be so arrogant. Back then, I should have joined hands with Cao Cao to kill this guy. Now, I am fine. I can’t openly bully me when I am old. When my son-in-law comes, I have to avenge him.”

Sun Jian muttered, and in front of Liu Bei, he talked about his many strategies for revenge against Liu Bei. Liu Bei just looked at him, without any anger in his heart, full of bitterness and pity, and stepped forward, He also helped to clean up, and the two of them sat on the Hu chair. Liu Bei looked at his slow speed and sighed. He said several times these days, but he couldn't persuade this stubborn old man. He just refused to use crutches, obviously he couldn't walk anymore.

Sitting on the Hu chair, the two enjoyed the mild sunshine comfortably.

"How are they doing?" Sun Jian asked lazily.

Liu Bei knew who he was asking, and said with a smile, "It's still the same."

"What? Got a baby? No, how long have they been married? Why did they have a baby, my father-in-law, there must be a misunderstanding here!" Sun Jian looked at a loss.

"They were all good!"

"The child is still tall??"

“I say they are good!!!”

"Okay, let's talk about it. What are you scaring me for? It's a child and a rat." Sun Jian glanced at Liu Bei displeased, and continued to curse in a low voice.

Liu Bei took a deep breath, raised his head, and looked at the sky.

"Actually, you're pretty good now. You don't hear the noise, so you don't worry about it. Especially, you don't have to listen to the children's complaints and quarrels. You can enjoy your old age peacefully. This is God's blessing to you," Liu Bei said. Said in a low voice, Sun Jian who was sitting in front of him didn't respond, obviously he couldn't hear his words at all, Liu Bei smiled and said, "I really envy you."

"What? You admire me? When did you get into the habit of those Tai students! You are all about to have grandchildren!"

"Cao Cao's children are great, and so are yours. In terms of teaching children, I can't compare with you two."

"You still have a brother?"

"My child, I'm afraid I won't be able to inherit my fame in this life, so I can only be a merchant with peace of mind."

"You feel a bit abrupt now? That's no nonsense. You say you love me for a while, and you have a brother for a while. Can you not be abrupt?"

The words of the two were completely inconsistent, but both sides ignored each other and just talked about their own words. I have to say that Liu Bei slowly talked about his thoughts over the years, and many of his inner voices that he had not revealed were all the same. As soon as I told Sun Jian, it made him feel a lot more relaxed, and his whole body was transparent, as if he had dropped a huge boulder he was carrying.

However, the way Sun Jian looked at Liu Bei became more and more complicated, and he even didn't want to look at his face.

In the evening, Liu Bei saw that it was getting late, so he got up slowly, bowed to Sun Jian, and said loudly: "Thank you Wentai for listening to me, then I will take my leave!!!", Sun Jian once Dazed, after thinking for a moment, he just nodded and said: "Then go back, if you don't go back, the dolls will be in a hurry."

"They have all moved away, so why would they care?"

"What? Are they still naughty? How old are they..."

"Hahahaha~~", Liu Bei laughed, bowed to Sun Jian, turned around and was about to leave.

"Xuande!" Sun Jian suddenly shouted, Liu Bei stopped, looked at Sun Jian, Sun Jian said with a smile: "Come back tomorrow, let's have a good match! Today is not counted!"

"it is good!!"

Liu Bei left, and Sun Jian sat alone in the courtyard, waiting quietly, occasionally talking to himself, the words were a little vague, and the servants not far away couldn't understand what he was talking about, so he sat like this until dark At that time, there were servants who supported him and wanted to send him back to the house, but the old man cursed and refused to let the servants support him, but he himself couldn't walk or even stand up, which made the servants feel uncomfortable. Difficult.

Until one of them went out and invited Sun Quan over.

"Father, why are you refusing to be helped again? Well, let's go." Sun Quan hurried into the courtyard. This was not the first time. Temperament, temper like a naughty boy, even Sun Quan felt that his eldest nephew was much more obedient than the old man, seeing Sun Quan coming to support him, the old man smiled.

"Your brother?"

"He's in military training!!! Can't go home!!!"

"Where's your third brother?"

"He is studying strategy!! Have you forgotten?!"

"What about your fourth and fifth brothers?"

"The fourth brother is in Liangzhou!!! The fifth brother is in Yizhou!!!"

"my niece"

Sun Quan ignored him, and let the old man inquire about his children and grandsons, took the old man back to the house, and asked the servants to bring some food. Sun Jian sat on the bed, holding the bowl of rice, looking at Sun Quan in front of him, but Sun Quan didn't want to eat it, and Sun Quan said, "Father!! I still have something to do in my house!! Eat quickly!!" When Sun Jian heard this, he widened his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

"You tell me, I can help you."

Sun Quan frowned and did not speak. The 13-year promotion and downgrading of officials in Yankang will be completed within this month, and Sun Quan is now half dead from exhaustion.

"It's been a long time since I saw your brother and Shao'er, and I haven't come to see me recently. I miss them very much..." Sun Jian babbled, and while eating, Sun Quan sat quietly in front of him. At the beginning, he asked with a smile: "Would you like to have a bite too?"

"I don't want to eat!!!", Sun Quan's voice raised a little more, Sun Jian trembled all over, lowered his head a little aggrieved, stopped talking, and started eating, looking at the old man's appearance, Sun Quan felt a little guilty, and quickly said: "Tomorrow, I will let them come to see you!! I will write them a letter!!"

"Why don't you stay?" Sun Jian asked cautiously.

"Father, I'm really too busy, so let's do this. In two days, I'll stay with you. Tomorrow, I'll let Shao'er, elder brother, third brother, and younger sister all come. Let's get together and have a meal," Sun Quan said, but Sun Jian nodded with a smile, "Okay, okay, that's it, let them all come, they have to come."

"Okay, Father, I'm leaving!"

"Or...you stay here."

Sun Quan left Taiwei's Mansion, and the Taiwei's Mansion was extremely quiet. Sun Jian lay happily on the bed, "Tomorrow will come tomorrow." He seemed to be too happy to fall asleep, muttering to himself, with a smile on his face. With a happy smile, he slowly fell asleep.

the next day, early morning

Sun Quan let out a long sigh, and walked out of the study. The whole day's hard work made him a little unbearable. There are more and more officials in the world. The official government cannot directly appoint the promotion. It is necessary to make a list. A few more people have to be selected and handed over to the Minister's order. As a servant of the official's mansion, he needs to personally watch all the lists and conduct strict investigations. Otherwise, if something happens, the responsibility will all fall on his head .

"Pu She!! Sun Pu She!! Pu She!!!"

Hearing a cry of exclamation, Sun Quan's subordinates staggered into the backyard with a panicked look, just in time to meet Sun Quan who came out of the study.

"Why panic? What happened?"

"Mr. Taiwei, Mr. Taiwei. I couldn't wake up in the morning," said the subordinate official tremblingly.

Sun Quan stood there dumbfounded.

"What are you talking about?"
