Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 48 Three Kingdoms, I really don’t want a young woman!

"I heard that... today in front of everyone, the general gave my useless grandson a good lecture?"

Xing Daorong was just muttering to himself about what exactly Qiao Guolao wanted to save his life for, when he heard him talking about what happened when he came to pay his respects early this morning.

Xing Daorong had nothing to explain about this matter, and he didn't really want to explain.

Fortunately, Mr. Qiao didn't mean to blame anyone.

He continued, "Don't blame me, General. My grandson didn't really think that you were the enemy who killed his father. He was just provoked by someone's words and that's why he offended you."

Xing Daorong originally thought that Zhou Xun was just a "child of a child" and didn't expect that there was someone behind the scenes watching this child who had just lost his father!
Xing Daorong couldn't help but frowning, feeling that people's hearts have changed.

Qiao Guolao saw it and knew that he had not made a mistake.

Although Xing Daorong was a military man, his words were as kind as Liu Bei.

Do not bully the weak by taking advantage of your strength, do not bully others by taking advantage of your power, and do not bully the small by taking advantage of your size.

Even when facing "accusations" from young children, he simply used words to explain the greater principles, which shows his high moral character.

Then he continued, "As for who it is, my son-in-law was a governor in the past, so it is natural that he offended people. It will be difficult to find out the truth in a short time."

Xing Daorong could probably sense that Qiao Guolao was not lying.

This matter, after all, is still a dispute between aristocratic families.

There are many noble families in Jiangdong. Not to mention others, just in Wu County, there are the four major families: Gu, Lu, Zhu, and Zhang.

Many aristocratic families either united or fought against each other to form the powerful class in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Qiao Guolao has no children, so logically he would not be the target of the aristocratic families, but his two daughters married so well that it is normal for people to be envious and jealous.

But now that she is a widow, it is natural that some people will have some doubts.

But for Xing Daorong, he didn't even want to care about the affairs of the Jingzhou family, let alone the Jiangdong family!

Although he felt sorry for the Qiao family, he just shook his head and said, "I think Gongjin's son has always been like his father, but he is still young and does not understand the principles."

"Given time, Mr. Qiao won't have to worry anymore."

Xing Daorong originally wanted to say something to comfort Mr. Qiao, but he didn't expect that when the old man heard his words of comfort, his face became even more worried.

He sighed and said, "The general is a man of great talent, but he saw through my grandson's temper after only meeting him once."

"If Gongjin were still alive, it would be fine. Now that Gongjin and Bofu are both dead, if Xun'er and Shao'er still have the same personality as their father, I am afraid they will suffer."

Speaking of this, Xing Daorong suddenly remembered.

Of Zhou Yu's two sons, the eldest son Zhou Xun was quite favored by Sun Quan at the beginning, and even married Sun Quan's eldest daughter, Sun Luban.

It’s just that this guy died early!
It seems that she died before she was 30 years old. Later, Sun Luban remarried to General Quan Cong of Wei and was called Princess Quan.

As for the second son Zhou Yin, his fate was even more miserable. He was dismissed from office and demoted to a commoner due to his crimes. He was exiled to Luling County and died as a commoner.

The ending was not very good.

However, Xing Daorong was helpless about Jiangdong's affairs. He only said, "I can understand a little bit about this, but I am the emperor's uncle and general. I can't get involved in Jiangdong's affairs. If Mr. Qiao really wants something, he has found the wrong person."

Having said that, Qiao Guolao did not hide anything and said, "This is the second thing I want to say."

"No one in Jiangdong dares to interfere in my family's affairs. I have no choice but to rely on outsiders to help my daughter survive."

"General Xing, I know you are married, but you are also a widow."

"If that's the case, why don't you ask for another wife? Don't you think highly of my little girl?"

Xing Daorong didn't expect that Qiao Guolao would be so bold as to directly ask him to marry his daughter.

I think Xiao Qiao is a new widow, so she must be talking about Da Qiao. "Is she so desperate?" Xing Daorong was really surprised and couldn't help but blurt out.

Qiao Guolao was about to stand up and bow, but Xing Daorong reacted quickly and immediately supported Qiao Guolao and said, "Mr. Qiao, there is really no need to do this. I cannot bear it."

Qiao Guolao grabbed Xing Daorong's arm with his backhand. That old arm now had a lot of strength, so Xing Daorong was unable to use it for a while.

"Gong Jin has only been dead for a few days, and someone has already provoked his young son. If the general had not been so eloquent at that time, what would have happened if someone else had come?"

Xing Daorong frowned at what Qiao Guolao said and said, "At most, it's just a few criticisms. What else can it be?"

But Qiao Guolao shook his head again.

"The Marquis Wu has heard about today's events. If nothing happened today, how could it be so easy to let it go?"

Xing Daorong recalled that during the "awkward conversation" in the hall before, Sun Quan had actually said a few words, intentionally or unintentionally, saying that Zhou Yu's son had a strong character, but had some of his father's style, and told Xing Daorong not to take it seriously.

I just thought it was a casual chat at the time, but now thinking about it, I'm afraid it's really as Mr. Qiao said.

"Today's guests will be prisoners in the future. The Qiao family is not a Longmen family, but they are favored now, all because of marriage, and have long been envied and hated."

"If you don't think about my daughter again, you will only be lonely for the rest of your life."

"I really have no other choice!"

"I heard that the general is coming to Jiangdong again this time. No matter what, I would like to ask the general to explain it clearly."

Xing Daorong felt that this matter was a bit exaggerated.

Although Da Qiao is a good girl, she really can't raise a son for someone else!

He just shook his head and said nothing.

Seeing this, Qiao Guolao gained more strength in his hands and advised: "Life is like a fleeting moment, passing by in a flash. I wonder what the general is worried about?"

I have to say that when the ancients spoke, sometimes just a few words could touch people's hearts.

Xing Daorong was persuaded by Qiao Guolao's words "time flies like an arrow, it is gone in a flash".

Since he was afraid of trouble, then wouldn't his marriage to Da Qiao be recorded in history books as a story of a romantic and elegant man?
Just Sun Shao
After thinking about it, Xing Daorong also spoke out.

But he said: "The last time I came to your house, I took a quick glance and saw that your daughter was extremely beautiful and graceful. At first sight, I was shocked by her beauty."

"But seeing that he is with his young son, I don't think he can leave Jiangdong. Why is Mr. Qiao wasting his time?"

This. This doesn’t seem to be a big deal!

Qiao Guolao didn't understand what Xing Daorong meant at first, but after hearing him praise his daughter, he felt relieved and said, "It's nothing more than changing places, what's the difficulty?"

Xing Daorong saw that the old man was really stubborn and decided not to explain any more for fear of hurting his feelings.

He would use the excuse that he had just married and it would be inconvenient to marry again in these years to shirk his responsibilities.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw a door open at the side of the yard. He turned around and saw who else could it be but Da Qiao?

When Xing Daorong saw this, he couldn't help but turn to look at Qiao Guolao.

The meaning is obvious.

He invited himself to be the guest, but asked Da Qiao to hide in the house and eavesdrop. This was not a very decent thing to do.

Qiao Guolao naturally looked at Xing Daorong's eyes.

But he felt guilty and couldn't say anything.

After all, it was indeed his own idea to ask my daughter to hide and watch Xing Daorong, and it was hard to explain at all!
