I am a sister-in-law in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 154 Allies Needed

Sun Shangxiang cried while talking, crying heartbrokenly.

This girlish heart rubbed Qiao Jingjing's heart.

What girl is not pregnant?

It's just that Qiao Jingjing thought too much and calculated too much.

In fact, shouldn't we be like Sun Shangxiang, just love what you want, and take what you want.

To like is to like, to think is to think.

There's no shame in saying it.

Working hard for him is so brave and passionate.

"I've told you all my worries, and I'll leave the matter to you! Prepare the dowry for me. More is more, and I won't blame you if it's less."

Sun Shangxiang made a decision.

Sun Quan has always been careful about the matter of the girl getting married. If he has not made a final decision, the girl will define it herself.

After Sun Shangxiang finished talking, he rubbed his eyes and went back to his room.

Qiao Jingjing was left sitting alone in front of the window.

The sweet and sour fruit tea no longer smells good.

How could Sun Quan agree to Sun Shangxiang marrying Liu Ji?

To be honest, if Qiao Jingjing were put in Sun Quan's perspective, she would not agree.

Liu Ji has nothing, no family foundation, no foundation, but he is young and beautiful.

For a young woman, this is suitable for falling in love and living together for a few years.

But for the Soochow regime, it needs a stronger ally.

Sun Quan no longer has any biological brothers.

There is only one biological sister, Sun Shangxiang.

This problem raised by Sun Shangxiang worried Qiao Jingjing for a long time.

I’m so worried that I can’t help it.

At that time.

Cao Cao has solved the smog in the north.

Liu Biao also died of illness immediately. The huge Jingzhou was wavering between Liu Biao's two sons, Liu Qi and Liu Cong.

Liu Biao's youngest son Liu Cong directly led the navy and a wave of generals headed by Cai Mao to defect to Cao Cao.

Liu Biao's eldest son Liu Qi still had some eyesight and defected to Liu Bei.

But Liu Bei has always been a very downcast figure so far.

Liu Bei originally stationed his troops in Xinye, a small village.

Cao Cao moved south and prepared to regain Jingzhou.

Liu Bei didn't dare to stay at all. He was so frightened that he ran away and quickly retreated to Jiangling.

At that time, there were [-] people in Jingzhou. When they heard that Liu Bei was withdrawing his troops, women, children, old and young all followed Liu Bei to withdraw. It was really shocking.

Even Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei's new military advisor, said that these people would run too slowly with him.

But Liu Bei insisted on taking the common people with him and escorting them to evacuate safely to Jiangling.

The common people escorted him.

Liu Bei's own wife and son were miserable.

Liu Bei's Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi suffered greatly in the chaos.

Mrs. Gan was dead, and Mrs. Mi was holding Liu Bei's son Adou, who was unable to move because of an arrow in her leg.

When Mrs. Mi was found by Zhao Zilong, she directly stuffed Adou, who was several months old, into Zhao Yun's arms. Mrs. Mi threw herself into a well and died.

This situation is so tragic and pitiful.

Events in Jingzhou spread to Jiangdong.

Sun Quan also specially called everyone to discuss this important matter.

Sun Quan himself was actually quite confident, because some time ago his sister-in-law Qiao Jingjing and a group of civil servants toured the southeast and raised hundreds of thousands of grain and supplies for him.

Sun Quan not only built an iron urn city, but also raised supplies and military pay.
But on the surface, we still need to let these people discuss it.

What everyone is discussing now is not how to fight against Cao Cao, but the chaos in Jingzhou.

Someone said: "Take advantage of the chaos to attack Jingzhou."

Some people also said: "We are watching the fire from the other side, waiting for them to fight."

These people were noisy, and each felt that they had their own reasons.

On the contrary, Zhuge Jin and Lu Su specifically asked to see Sun Quan after the discussion and expressed their clear intentions to Sun Quan.

"Cao Cao's massive move south is inevitable. At this time, Jiangdong needs allies!"

Although the power of this ally is very weak and has suffered repeated defeats and defeats, it has a very good reputation.

"The common people support him, and His Majesty the Emperor also trusts him. Being an ally with such a person is beneficial to us at the moment. Even if this ally is just an empty shell, we can ally with an empty shell to scare Cao Cao. "

What's more, that ally still has some powerful generals, such as Guan Yu. Guan Yu passed five passes and killed six generals. For example, when Comrade Zhang Fei was at Changbanpo, he frightened a hundred thousand Cao troops with one voice and scared Cao Ren out of fear. .

Sun Quan also had this intention in mind.

He also wanted to be friends with Uncle Liu Huang.

But there must be a liaison in the middle.

Now it is clear that Uncle Liu Huang is a down-and-out man. Although Sun Quan is said to be young in seniority, he has power and money. He should be Party A's father.

Lu Su said that he would take care of this matter, and he and Zhuge Jin went to Jiangling to find out in person.

Pretending to visit Liu Biao, he mourned Liu Biao's death and explored the reality of Jiangling City.

Come and go like this.

It didn't take much time.

Lu Su quickly brought back a bright boy.

This handsome guy is very handsome, and his name is also very nice, Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang first came to Soochow and lived in Beigu Mountain, Jingkou.

None of Jiangdong's civil and military officials took this young man seriously.

On the contrary, Qiao Jingjing, who lives deep in the floating sea and is now devoting herself to writing books, knows how powerful this Liangzi brother is.

But this Liangzi brother is hateful.

When he was fighting with the heroes of Jiangdong, he had to send her and Xiao Qiao.

At that time.

Sun Shangxiang walked five miles away from Linhua Mansion, where she and her mother lived, and came to Fubihai to express her true feelings to her sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, do you take my matter to heart? You promised well! I have told you, I think he has a serious idea, I want to marry him!

Do you want me to bring gifts to your house to propose marriage to your mother, father, and his adoptive mother? "

Sun Shangxiang was so anxious.

He's so cute when he talks.

Qiao Jingjing was amused, but she was actually more anxious than Sun Shangxiang.

But there is one thing that cannot be revealed while speaking.

Qiao Jingjing reached out and tapped Sun Shangxiang's nose:

"How come you, girl, have grown up in such a blink of an eye? When I first came here, you were still so tall. It's time to talk about marriage now, and you're going to marry into your husband's family in the blink of an eye!
Do you want to hear the truth or the truth?I said that I can't bear it in my heart. No matter who you marry, I can't bear it!

I had already mentioned this matter to my mother that day.

Mother said she wanted to discuss it with your second brother.

Your second brother is very busy these days. I've heard about it here. Don't bother him if you have nothing to do. Do you understand? "

Mention Sun Quan.Sun Shangxiang pouted.

Of course she knew that her second brother was very busy. Not only was Cao Cao in the north causing trouble, but also Jingzhou. So was Liu Biao dead?
There's going to be a war anyway.

These days, there is a war every year.

If you fight, you will die, if you don't fight, you will die.

This is how the eldest brother died, and the same is true for the third brother.

"I don't care! If they are going to fight, they are the ones fighting. I walked out this time and I understand. Sister-in-law, I want to live a good life. What happened with you and my elder brother also made me understand. Who cares what those people do? That's it. There is no end to the competition among people in the world, and people are dissatisfied. I just want to spend my whole life with the person I like.

You tell the second brother, he just nods!

I don’t want him to hold a grand wedding for me. Liu Ji and I will worship each other, kowtow to my mother and you, and then we will go to live somewhere else, maybe Wuyi Mountain, Quanzhou, or Guilin, and we will find a Everywhere, living a life without fighting against the world. "

Until Sun Shangxiang finished speaking this large paragraph clearly.

Qiao Jingjing finally woke up.

Qiao Jingjing's heart seemed to have been shaken severely.

She couldn't help but reflect, what on earth was she thinking about these days?
Everyone uses Sun Shangxiang's marriage as a political tool for marriage bargaining.

She had an encounter with Aunt Sun Shangxiang. She watched her grow up and thought that she was worried about her and cared about her, but she still couldn't help but think about it from the perspective of power and politics.

And what Sun Shangxiang pursues.

Isn't it what Qiao Jingjing wanted to pursue that day?I hope that Sun Ce will put aside all disputes, go to a place with mountains and rivers with Sun Ce, and spend the rest of his life quietly.

Thinking of Sun Ce.

It was helpless again.

Qiao Jingjing changed her tone and became very gentle:

"I know how you feel, I understand! I will discuss it carefully with my mother and your second brother. As long as they agree, you can go wherever you want, and my sister-in-law will prepare a dowry for you!"

Qiao Jingjing said the last thing.

I also felt sad.

Why can't she help Sun Shangxiang?She should fulfill her wish.

At least she could do something about it.

On the same day, Qiao Jingjing asked Ye Rong to invite Sun Quan and her mother, Mrs. Wu.

When Sun Quan came to Fubihai, it was already very late at night.

He spent a lot of time discussing business with the ministers.

Mrs. Wu was tired of waiting.

Sun Quan came and accused him repeatedly:
"It's a sin to keep my mother and sister-in-law waiting."

Mrs. Wu also asked Sun Quan to sit down quickly, drink a cup of hot tea and eat some snacks.

"I don't blame you, we are all members of our family. You have to be careful, the whole family is counting on you!"

Sun Quan is the only man left in this family.

Then there are the grandchildren, who are still very young.

Sun Quan drank tea:
"I know everything my mother and sister-in-law invited me to discuss! Axiang has fallen in love with Liu Ji. Do your mother and sister-in-law agree to their marriage?"

Although Mrs. Wu doted on her daughter, she also felt sorry for her son.

I know that my son needs someone to help him share his burden.

Therefore, Mrs. Wu did not express her position immediately.

He just said: "As Xiang is so young, she can't make the decision on this matter. Your father died early and your eldest brother is no longer here. Of course, this matter is entirely up to you!"

Mrs. Wu didn't even say that Qiao Jingjing could make the decision.

But since Qiao Jingjing was moved by Sun Shangxiang, she still wanted to stand up and say a word for Sun Shangxiang.

"Mom, I shouldn't have said this, but because Axiang and I have a very good relationship, she asked me for help again and again. I thought that Axiang was pitiful. Although Zhongmou was embarrassed by this hard-to-speak matter, I still had to say it. Say it!
Liu Ji is my foster brother, and everyone in the six counties of Jiangdong knows about this.

Liu Ji's family background is innocent, and the Liu family is small and has no parents to rely on. Now he is just a distant relative of the Han family, with a name.

It is certainly not comparable to well-established families like the Zhu family, the Gu family and the Lu family.

It is not comparable to the Xu family, the Wu family, our Sun family, or even the Zhou family, these local wealthy families.

However, mother, Zhongmou, can we think about the marriage of our children from a different angle?

A Xiang said something that moved me.

She said that she wanted to live the life they wanted with her favorite person, without disputes or wars, just a peaceful and stable life, whether it was a small county or a rural area, she said she could live it. "

When Qiao Jingjing said this, Mrs. Wu said nothing.

Sun Quan also fell silent.

Qiao Jingjing was silent for a while.

she says:

"It was originally my fault. The southern tour lasted for more than a year. During those days, Ah Xiang and Liu Ji got closer. It was me who failed to discipline Liu Ji well, and it was also me who indulged Ah Xiang.

But the mother may not know!
One day, there will be a woman like that in this world:
They can choose the person they like and choose to live with the person they like for the rest of their lives. If they are happy, they will be with this man for the rest of their lives. If they are not happy, they will break up and we will never owe each other anything.If you live a happy life, you will have many children. If you feel it is a burden, you can choose not to have children.

Women are human too!
They are also people who have the right to make independent choices. "

If Sun Ce had been here at that time, Sun Ce would have tried to understand Qiao Jingjing's words, and he would have been able to understand them.

But the more Mrs. Wu listened, the more confused she became.

Mrs. Wu's heart is still thinking about her current only son.

Jiangdong has been in chaos since this son took charge.

Axiang is his only girl, and he can't just walk away.

"Axiang can't just marry someone she likes and then leave! Axiang should be like any woman in the Sun family, like her aunt Mrs. Sun, like second sister-in-law Xu Jiao, or even like you, Da Qiao, and be the leader of this family. His right-hand man!"

Mrs. Wu finally gave her conclusion.

Qiao Jingjing invited her mother-in-law, Mrs. Wu, and her second brother Sun Quan late at night to discuss Sun Shangxiang's marriage.

Try hard, but this is the outcome.

Sun Quan finally said: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about Axiang's marriage anymore! You feel sorry for Axiang, and I feel sorry for Axiang! But Liu Ji can't do that.

Of course, Liu Ji is a good young man. I will also compensate him by giving him an official position, sending him to work outside, and training him.

As for Axiang's choice of husband, I have my own decision to make. "

Sun Quan finished speaking.

Qiao Jingjing knew that there was no room for change in Sun Shangxiang's marriage.

Liu Bei's Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi are both dead. As a virtuous widower with the title of imperial uncle, he will be Sun Shangxiang's husband.

a few days later.

Liu Ji was sent to Jiaozhou by Sun Quan as the captain of Dingwei School in Jiaozhou. As soon as he spoke, he packed up his baggage and took up the post.

Sun Shangxiang learned the news last and was too late to see Liu Ji off.

Sun Shangxiang could only cry and come to see his sister-in-law Qiao Jingjing.

Qiao Jingjing hugged the crying girl who was out of breath.

In front of him, Zhuge Liang was chatting with the Confucian scholars.

After Zhuge Liang came out of the army, he took on diplomatic work for the first time. He came to Jiangdong to negotiate for Liu Bei, which must be successful.

"Silly girl, don't cry! He just went to Jiaozhou to be an official and benefit the people. He deserves to be separated by life and death. In life, people come and go, and the stars change, and those who meet will always meet. That day you said that you were talking to the Confucian people When you come, you will definitely go and meet him!"

Qiao Jingjing got down to business and diverted Sun Shangxiang's heartbreak from love.

"That man went too far. He wanted to form an alliance with us, but he pushed back and forth and used provocation. He said that as long as you hand over your sister-in-law and your sister-in-law's sister to Cao Cao, he can calm Cao Cao's 80 Ten thousand troops!"

Ah!
Sun Shangxiang heard this.

What nonsense is this?
What a bastard?
Sun Shangxiang shed tears: "I pulled out his tongue! He really bullied us Jiangdong no one! Our eldest brother and third brother are dead, but not all of them are dead!"
