The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 101
Zhang Cheng was well prepared and spoke very fluently, as if he had been holding back for a long time on the road. Sun Quan just listened without making any comments, but Zhang Cheng clearly felt that Sun Quan was unconsciously relieved.He felt very guilty, although Sun Shao told him that for everyone's benefit, you have to blame me, but Zhang Cheng still felt that doing so was too unfair to Sun Shao.

What made him feel even more disappointed was that Sun Quan's performance seemed to have been completely hit by Sun Shao.Zhang Cheng had a good impression of Sun Quan in the past, although because of his father Zhang Zhao, he has never been able to become an official, but most of the time he still thinks that Zhang Zhao is too upright, he doesn't know how to make changes, and he regards himself as his second father, Sun Quan is not responsible.Of course he had complaints against Sun Quan, but that complaint was just dissatisfaction with his inability to use him, and he did not think that Sun Quan was not a wise master.But now he found that, if only talking about strategy and the overall situation, Sun Quan was not one or two worse than Sun Shao.It is not easy to recognize the overall situation, many people can do it, but there are very few people who can take the overall situation into consideration and would rather sacrifice their own interests.
"Zhong Si?" Seeing Zhang Cheng's unhappy face, Sun Quan thought he was still angry at Sun Shao's actions, so he comforted him, "I know all about these things. Feng Xian was originally wild, and this time he went to Chengdu. Misconduct is unavoidable, but fortunately things went smoothly and no disaster was caused. Don't worry, I will teach him a lesson. Zhong Si, you have to cooperate with Lu Zijing when you arrive in Lukou. I can leave the Western Front to you two. Work hard!"

Zhang Cheng hurriedly thanked him again: "Please rest assured, my lord, I must ask General Hengjiang a lot to ensure that there is no worry on the western front."

"That's very good." Sun Quan nodded, and said with some emotion: "Back then, your father assisted my elder brother in opening Jiangdong's foundation, and more than 20 years have passed, and now you have become the pillar of my Jiangdong, Zhong Si, don't let me down , don’t let your father down.”

Zhang Cheng was also very excited: "Zhang Cheng dares not to work, in order to repay the supreme appreciation."

The monarchs and ministers sighed relative to each other and couldn't help themselves for a while.

After bidding farewell to Sun Quan, Zhang Cheng returned home, only to find that his father Zhang Zhao had not rested and was sitting upright in the hall, and his younger brother Zhang Xiu was also there.He hastened to meet him, and Zhang Zhao gently helped him up, put his hands on his shoulders, stared into his eyes, and smiled gratifiedly after a long time: "Well, I lost some weight, but my spirit is still good."

Zhang Cheng's heart felt warm, his nose was a little sore, his father was old, and there were already many gray hairs on his sideburns.After becoming an official by himself, only his younger brother Zhang Xiu was left beside his father.

"Father, I'm going to Lukou now. I won't be able to wait on my father's knees all the time. Please take care of me and try to eat more."

"Whispering!" Zhang Zhao glared at Zhang Cheng, and resumed his usual sternness, pointing to the mat next to him to let Zhang Cheng sit down, "Although Nai Gong is over sixty years old, he is not old enough to need someone to support you. When he is in his prime, he should serve the country." At this point, he sighed a little disappointed, is the country of today still the country of the past? Is the morality of the big man really irreparable?
Seeing Zhang Zhao talking, Zhang Cheng suddenly stopped in a daze, knowing that he was thinking about it again, and quickly said, "Father is growing old and strong, which is the son's blessing. It's just... the son has something to say, and I ask the father to weigh it."

"Say." Zhang Zhao glanced at Zhang Cheng and nodded.

"Father, Zhizun has been in charge for 12 years. He is no longer the boy who only cried before the death of the general who disobeyed the rebels. Although the Supreme and the general rebellious are of the same mother, they have different temperaments. This gift of the monarch and his ministers You still have to pay attention.”

Zhang Zhao's white eyebrows frowned, and he was about to get angry, but seeing Zhang Cheng's sincere expression, he held back again, and he sulked for a while, then said in a buzzing voice: "Okay, I get it, it's a big deal Just say a few words."

Zhang Cheng was prepared to be reprimanded by him, but seeing him like this now, he felt a little uneasy.Zhang Zhao has a straight temper, and he will say anything when he sees something that is not pleasing to the eye. Keeping him in his heart is more uncomfortable than killing him.Now he has promised himself so much, but whether he can hold back at that time is really a matter of two opinions.He originally wanted to tell Zhang Zhao what happened with Sun Shao along the way, but after thinking about it, he forgot it. If Zhang Zhao became angry and told Sun Quan about this, then Sun Shao would be in danger.

"Zhong Si, I listened to what you said, but I also have something to say, you should listen to it too." Zhang Zhao waved his hand, and said to Zhang Cheng without any excuse: "You only have one son, A Zhen, and this is not acceptable. Zhuge Ziyu's daughter is not bad, I have accepted him, let's find a time to get the dowry."

Zhang Cheng smiled wryly, thought for a while, and had no choice but to agree.His wife has been dead for three years, and Zhang Zhao has taken a fancy to Zhuge Jin's daughter, but he has always felt that he and Zhuge Jin are about the same age, and have always been friends of the same generation, and now he suddenly wants to be Zhuge Jin's son-in-law, which is really embarrassing face.Zhang Zhao had spoken to him several times, but he had rejected them all. If he raised it so solemnly today, it had already been decided, so it was hard to say anything else, that was the only way to go.

Seeing that Zhang Cheng didn't object, Zhang Zhao finally felt relieved.

Qiaoyue briskly walked to the window and set up the latticed window. The morning sun shone in, and the dim room suddenly became much brighter.But Qiaoyue went to the bronze lamp by the bed again, stood on tiptoe, covered the lamp with her hand, pursed her mouth, and blew out the lamp.The two of them were sleeping soundly on the bed, and the brocade quilt lying across looked a little scattered. From the shape, it could be vaguely seen that Sun Shao was sleeping soundly with Guan Feng in his arms.She glanced at Guan Xiaoqing who followed in, covered her mouth and smiled, Guan Xiaoqing also smiled, and picked up a piece of silk by the bed, only to find that it was the dick that the two old women showed them yesterday, she couldn't help being ashamed , hurriedly stuffed it back under the pillow, then bent down, and called out softly:

"Miss, Uncle, it's getting late, it's time to get up and salute Madam."

Guan Feng opened her hazy eyes, glanced at Guan Xiaoqing, and wanted to turn over, but found that Sun Shao's two arms were hugging her chest. Thinking of what happened last night, she blushed a little, and saw Guan Xiaoqing and Qiaoyue again. Standing aside with a blushing face, she hurriedly said: "You guys go out first, I'll wait for your husband to get up."

"Madam, how can this be done." Qiaoyue shook her head, "If my mother finds out, we will be punished."

Seeing what Qiaoyue said, Guan Feng didn't have much to say. She is a new daughter-in-law, and she doesn't have the strength to compete with the housekeeper of the inner courtyard of the Sun residence.She quickly pushed Sun Shao, and Sun Shao snorted in a daze, stretched out his arms to hug her waist, and said grumblingly: "Xiaoyue'er go out first, let me sleep for a while, I'm sleepy. "

Qiaoyue suppressed a smile, "Young master, it's not going to happen today, Madam is waiting for you to salute, you'd better get up."

Sun Shao opened his eyes and looked at the three pairs of eyes staring at him. After a while, he finally understood.When he came to this world, he had always lived a fairy life of sleeping until he woke up naturally. Today he was forced to get up suddenly, he was not used to it, but the ceremony for the bride to see the elders could not be broken, so he had to work hard.He threw off the quilt and got out of bed, the cold morning air gave him goosebumps all over his body.He straightened up, opened his mouth wide and yawned, and shouted habitually: "Xiaoyue'er, where are my clothes?"

There was no familiar sound of promise, Sun Shao raised his head, only to see that Qiaoyue and Guan Xiaoqing had already turned their backs, and even Guan Feng lowered his head in embarrassment. Realizing that he was actually naked, the brother who showed his power yesterday was bathed in the morning sun with his head held high and his chest out, showing a fierce look.

"Damn it!" Sun Shao got back under the quilt all of a sudden, not daring to show his face again.Seeing him so embarrassed, the three women who were flushed with embarrassment at the scene just now found it strange and couldn't help laughing out loud.

After tossing and tossing for a while, Sun Shao and Guan Feng were dressed and groomed by two maids, and came to the front of the bridge.Although Daqiao looked a little tired, he was in good spirits. He watched the two of them salute in front of him with a smile, and then let them sit beside him. Looking at Guan Feng's exquisite face, he nodded in satisfaction: "Aman is really blessed to be able to marry such a wife. Aman, you should cherish her in the future. Feng'er is new to Jianye, and there are many places she is not familiar with. You can't bully her."

Sun Shao smiled triumphantly: "Don't worry, mother, she is very powerful, she is equal to me, and she is not afraid of being bullied by me." As he spoke, he winked at Guan Feng.Guan Feng heard the words with puns, thinking of the madness last night, it was sweet and shy at the same time.

"Nonsense." When Daqiao saw the young couple's flirtatious eyes, he liked it very much. He pretended to be angry and gave Sun Shao a look, then turned around and asked Qiaoying to bring a bracelet and put it on Guan Feng's white arm: "This is Aman's big brother back then." I have kept it for so many years, and now I leave it to you. Although Aman is stubborn, he is a kind child. You should live a good life and have children early so that I can hug her."
