The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 48
Ninety-ninth Chongyang, climb high and look far away.

Sun Shao made arrangements early on. Except for those who had to stay at home and could not accompany him, he pulled out almost all the servants of the general's mansion, big and small, men and women, and nearly [-] people, all the way to Lingyan Mountain. After participating in the Liushang meeting here last time, he fell in love with it, and often came here to climb high and look far away when he had nothing to do.Autumn is getting stronger, and the vegetation has turned dark green, and some have taken on a touch of yellow, which looks like a painting.

Dun Wu and a few servants were busy setting up the stove. Aunt Qin, with her hips on her hips, directed the servants in the kitchen to prepare dishes. Lingyan Mountain is not the only place where the general’s mansion will come for a picnic. Go crazy.Recently, Sun Shao got cheated and got a lot of money back. Aunt Qin’s pockets have increased, and she is in a very good mood. She is not only proactive in her work, but also has a very good attitude. When she sees Daqiao and Qiaoying, she is always smiling. , Even seeing Qiaoyue, she is also a aunt for a month, and she is very polite.

Daqiao was still wearing elegant dark clothes, with his legs sideways, sitting on a flat boulder, watching Sun Shao and Shuai Zeng fishing by the Huanhua Pond in the distance, and Qiaoyue, dressed in fancy clothes, floating around like a butterfly. He circled around, holding the fish basket for him for a while, and reminding him that the fish bit the hook. After being so noisy by her, the fish didn't know where it went. Shuai Zeng dared not speak out, he couldn't bear it After stopping, he took the fishhook and moved to another place, but Sun Shao didn't care, and concentrated on watching the fish floating in the water.

Ge Xuan, Ge Heng's uncle and nephew got together and discussed something in a low voice. Ge Heng lowered his eyebrows and spoke softly, but Ge Xuan was loud and dancing, as if he was trying his best to explain some profound truth to Ge Heng. From time to time, he took a sip of wine from the big wine gourd on his waist.

Qiaoying also accompanied Daqiao in her best attire, and she was also very happy when she saw her daughter who kept laughing in the distance. She said to Daqiao softly: "Madam, it's rare to come out, don't just sit here, get up and walk." .”

"Alright." Daqiao was also in a good mood, so he responded and got off the boulder.Qiaoyue in the distance saw it, and quickly patted Sun Shao on the shoulder. Sun Shao looked back, dropped the fishing rod in his hand, walked over quickly, and said with a smile, "Auntie wants to climb a mountain?"

"Yeah, but you don't have to accompany me, as long as Ah Ying is with you, go and play."

Sun Shao laughed: "There is Xiaoyue'er screaming there, where there are fish and no fish farts, I'd better accompany my mother."

Qiaoyue stuck out her tongue, giggled, and didn't refute.

Daqiao smiled and did not refuse. A few people walked slowly towards the top of the mountain along the winding mountain road. The one on the right accompanied the bridge, talking softly while walking, and Sun Shao followed behind with his hands behind his back, looking at the snow-white socks under the flap of the bridge, thoughtfully.Dun Wu brought a few powerful guards of Kong Wu and followed them at a distance.

When he reached the top of the mountain, Daqiao, who usually seldom exercises, was a little out of breath. A healthy blush appeared on his cheeks with only light makeup, and his delicate skin was a little sweaty.Sun Shao glanced at it casually, and was a little lost in thought.

"Aman?" The shy and annoyed Daqiao called softly.

"Hey." Sun Shao laughed self-mockingly, put his folded hands on his chest, stood with folded hands, and said with a flattering smile, "Grandmother's complexion has gotten better recently, she's rosy and rosy, which is different from others."

"Smart talk." Daqiao said angrily, "Come here, let me ask you, the Supreme Master asked you to be an official in Jianye, why didn't you refuse?"

On the night when Lu Qing took the initiative to come to the door, Sun Quan's order arrived in Wu county, and asked Sun Shao to go to Jianye. As for the official, he didn't say anything, but just said empty words, saying that the world is difficult now, and that Sun Shao, as the Sun clan, should not If he is content with pleasure, he should serve his family and country. Let him move his family to Jianye as soon as possible, and then he will be appointed as an official.But to Daqiao's surprise, Sun Shao declined Sun Quan's order politely, and wrote back a long letter in his own hand. In the letter, he said sincerely that he did not want to leave Wu County. His tomb is in Wu County, and he has to go to the grave often. Secondly, he feels that he has no talent, but he is brave enough to do great things. Sun Quan has many capable men, and there are not many capable people without him, and there are many without him. As Sun Ce His only son, his most important task now is to marry a wife and have children, to continue Sun Ce's bloodline, not to make meritorious deeds.In the end, he asked Sun Quan again to allow him to exclusively manage new wines in various counties to make money, so as to reduce Sun Quan's burden, so as to prevent him from being rewarded for nothing, attracting criticism, and damaging Sun Quan's reputation.

Daqiao was very puzzled by his actions. She always believed that it was not that Sun Shao didn't want to be an official.Now that this method has worked, he should go along with the flow and happily go to Jianye. Why did he refuse again?Does he really want to be Tao Zhugong?
Sun Shao didn't speak. He glanced at Dun Wu and the others scattered around and saw that there were no idlers waiting nearby. Then he smiled softly and said, "Mum, didn't you see that? My supreme uncle has no sincerity at all." .”

"Sincerity?" Daqiao pondered for a moment: "You mean, he is testing you?"

"I guess it should be, otherwise, he would not have specified what kind of official he wants me to be." Sun Shao nodded, looking at the shimmering Zhenze in the distance, the corner of his mouth twitched: "In my opinion, he probably I don’t believe that I would rather be Tao Zhugong, so I want to test me. If I really go to Jianye, I’m afraid I may not be able to be an official, but I will never be free. Otherwise, why should I go to Jianye? It would be nice to stay in Wu County and live my happy life. Two hundred gold a year, although not too much, can be considered well-off."

"Two hundred gold is still well-off?" Daqiao smiled and glared at him: "Emperor Wen said that ten gold is the capital of a middleman. Although it is not as good as it was then, two hundred gold is definitely a big fortune. Zi, you speak lightly, Xiaokang!"

Sun Shao said with a disapproving smile: "What is this? I am not an ordinary commoner who is fighting against the general's mansion. Do I have to be satisfied with food and clothing? Among other things, I want to fulfill my wish, build a beautiful manor, and marry a beautiful man. Madam, I'm afraid the two hundred gold is not enough to spend."

Daqiao nodded, but he didn't object at all. Marriage and funeral these days are all costly things. Although Sun Shao is not an official, his status here is as good as he said he wanted to marry a Xishi. This money cannot be saved in any case.As soon as the national beauty was mentioned, Daqiao remembered Sun Shao's frivolous words that day, and the anger had passed, but the pride of being praised by others still lingered in his heart.

Jianye, Cheqi General's Mansion.

Sun Quan slowly put down Sun Shao's thank you form, with a trace of satisfaction in the corners of his eyes, some blue eyes rolled, and said to Yi and Xu Xiang who were kneeling in front of him, "What do you think?"

Shi Yi hesitated for a moment, didn't say anything, and glanced at Xu Xiang, who just happened to look over, and when their eyes met, they immediately had a tacit understanding.Xu Xiang cleared his throat, and said calmly: "Supreme, judging from what Ziyu heard, Sun Shaojun should have gone through life and death, and understood Supreme's love for him, and he is no longer as reckless as before."

"Yeah." Sun Quan stroked his beard and nodded: "Gu also thinks so, this kid has finally made some progress." After a while, he said again: "It's just that he wants to be Tao Zhugong." , I'm afraid it's not appropriate, now that the country is full of troubles, and the lords are worrying about it alone, he wants to live freely in the Jianghu, this child is still a bit extreme."

Shi Yi echoed and said: "What the Supreme Being said is right. If Sun Shaojun really becomes Tao Zhugong, it will not only be a pity for his talent, but also make people misunderstand the Supreme Being's good intentions, and maybe cause other troubles. This time I went to Wu County, I heard that Zhang Wen from the Zhang family and Xie Cheng from the Xie family have very close contacts with the young master."

"Oh?" Sun Quan's eyes flashed, and he pondered: "What do Zhang Wen and Xie Cheng want to do?"

"It's nothing, I just want to take advantage of Sun Shaojun's new wine for profit." Shiyi said quickly: "In my opinion, it is better to move Sun Shaojun to Jianye, so that he can supervise the production of new wine nearby and do things for the country. Come here to avoid being influenced by those people and causing trouble."

"But he doesn't want to come." Sun Quan patted the thank you form on the case lightly: "What can I do?"

Xu Xiang took a step forward and said softly: "My lord, I just received the news that Gu Shao, the prefect of Yuzhang... died."

Sun Quan was stunned, and asked after a while, "Really?"
