Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 89 Yuedan Review (Thanks to Yuyu for the two monthly tickets~)

Yuedanping was an activity hosted by the Xu Shao brothers of Runan County to evaluate and praise or criticize contemporary figures or poems, calligraphy and paintings.

Because it is often published on the first day of each month, it is called "Yuedanping" or "Yuedanpin".

No matter who they are, as long as they can get high praise from Xu Shao, their net worth will immediately increase a hundredfold!
Works recognized by Xu Shao can also be widely circulated among the secular world.

Therefore, this Yuedanping became famous and popular, attracting many scholars to attend.

Originally, this kind of activity was held in Runan County.

Later, in order to avoid the disaster caused by Yuan Shu, Xu Shao moved his family to Guangling.

He had originally planned to continue crossing the river and move to Qu'a.

However, after hearing that Lu Bu had taken Jiujiang and Zhang Chao had also surrendered to Lu Bu, he decided to settle in Guangling.

In a dense maple forest.

Countless crimson fallen leaves danced in the breeze and landed on the shoulders of an elegant middle-aged man.

The man reached out and plucked a red leaf, looking at the clearly visible veins on it, and said to his cousin beside him with a pleasant expression:

"I heard that Yangzhou Governor Lu Bu will also come to participate in the Yuedan Review this time?"

Xu Jing glanced at his cousin Xu Shao and said "hmm" faintly:
“I don’t understand why you gave up moving to Qu’a when you heard that Lu Bu had destroyed Yuan Shu.

"Do you know that I have already informed Liu Yao in advance?"

Hearing the dissatisfaction in Xu Jing's words, Xu Shao smiled calmly:
"When he comes today, you will know that he is a thousand times stronger than Liu Yao.

"He is no longer the same person he was back then..."

As he was speaking, Xu Shao saw that quite a few people in bright and gorgeous clothes were walking towards this side.

He slowly stood up and began to receive these people from various aristocratic families with Xu Jing.

……

Lu Bu was riding on the Red Hare, with Lu Lingqi twisting and turning in his arms.

It stands to reason that girls of this age should not show their faces in public before getting married.

But Lu Bu couldn't resist his daughter's coquetry and nagging.

And considering that my daughter is developing into a female military general, she will have to show up in public sooner or later.

He agreed to bring the other person along.

In the carriage behind him, Erqiao, Yan Qingqing and Huang Yueying were talking and laughing.

Diao Chan and Cai Wenji are relatively taciturn.

Through the fluttering curtains of the carriage, Diao Chan's gaze unconsciously fell on the tall and majestic figure in front of her.

Almost a year and a half has passed since I followed the other party away from Chang'an.

I remember that the other party only had one county at the beginning.

I didn’t expect that in just a year and a half, it had developed to cover six counties!
Her feelings towards Lu Bu also changed from resentment at first, to adaptation later, and then to silent expectation now...

She is still the most beautiful woman in the world, and the other party is still the most powerful general in the world.

But they are like two silk threads that can't be intertwined.

She always felt that men were inexplicably distant from her.

Hasn't he forgiven himself for using him together with his father Wang Yun?
But she also worked for the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty, and her own sacrifices were no less than those of the other party...

But even if she could forgive herself, she couldn't make the other party forgive her.

At this moment, listening to his wives and concubines talking and laughing, she seemed a little out of place.

Just when she was feeling sad, a warm and soft hand suddenly fell on the back of her hand.

Diao Chan turned her head and met Yan Qingqing's beautiful eyes like peach petals.

Yan Qingqing smiled and asked:

"Sister Chan, why do you look so unhappy?"

Diao Chan smiled bitterly and shook her head:

"No, it's just that it's the season when flowers fall and leaves wither, and my mood is a little affected..."

Yan Qingqing came over and whispered in her ear:
"Are you sure it's not because of that bad man in my family that you're in a bad mood?" Diao Chan's face immediately turned red, and she shrank her neck shyly:
"No, it's not because of Marquis Wen~ Sister Qingqing, don't talk nonsense..."

Looking at Diao Chan's appearance, anyone with a discerning eye can see some clues.

Yan Qingqing glanced at her husband outside the carriage and couldn't help but sigh:

"Alas... I don't know what my husband is thinking.

"Actually, I mentioned to him that I would take you as a concubine, but..."

"but what?"

Diao Chan suddenly became nervous and stared hard into Yan Qingqing's eyes.

Looking at Diao Chan like this, Yan Qingqing couldn't bear to make her sad, so she could only pat her hands:
"Don't worry, I will keep working hard and he will take you down sooner or later!"

Diao Chan lowered her eyes slightly and shook her head gently:
"It's better not to... Marquis Wen has promised me to General Hao Meng.

"Even if Marquis Wen is willing to accept me, if he forcibly takes me away from General Hao, it will cause discord between the ruler and his subjects..."

Hearing this, Yan Qingqing sighed helplessly and did not continue the topic.

At this moment, Xiao Qiao, who was sitting by the window, suddenly shouted in surprise:

"Look, that maple forest is so beautiful~"

Hearing Xiao Qiao's words, everyone looked over subconsciously.

What you see is a dreamy fiery red.

The bright red maple leaves reflect soft arcs of light under the sunlight, which makes people feel amazed and relaxed.

Lu Bu saw that there were already quite a few people sitting under the maple forest.

Most of these people have good temperament and are gentle and elegant.

There were also some tall and rugged-looking warriors sitting cross-legged.

Lu Bu stopped the carriage on the side of the road and got off with Yan Qingqing and others.

In order not to attract too much attention, he asked all his wives and concubines to wear the bamboo hat that Huang Yueying often wore to cover up their charming beauty.

But even so, their graceful figures still attracted a lot of people's attention.

But most people still focused their attention on Xu Shao who was commenting on the paintings.

Lu Bu led everyone to sit down at an empty seat in the corner, and Er Qiao and others sat close to him.

Only Diao Chan, Dong Bai and Cai Yan were slightly separated.

Lu Bu looked at the focus of the field:
An elegant middle-aged man in white clothes with a jade belt around his waist.

"Is he the famous Xu Shao?"

Hearing Lu Bu's mumbling, a man in his thirties not far away glanced at him and shook his head:

“You don’t even know Xu Shao, and you’re here to join in the fun?

"You even brought a bunch of wives and concubines with you. Do you think this is your home?"

Lu Bu glanced at the other person.

I saw that the other person was wearing a white jade headband and looked very handsome.

However, there was an obvious arrogance and rejection in his eyes, as if he disliked them very much.

Knowing that the other party didn't know him, Lu Bu didn't get angry.

On the contrary, after hearing what the other party said, Xiao Qiao angrily retorted:

"This is not your home, what's your business?
"Besides, how can you be sure that this is not my husband's home?"

Hearing the girl's rebuttal, the man's face suddenly became full of anger.

Just as he was about to stand up and rebuke, a slightly old and steady voice suddenly sounded:

“Yuanlong, you are a guest, don’t argue with others at this time.

"How do you know that the other person is definitely not a person of prominent status?"
