The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 94
Sun Quan put down the letter, stretched out two fingers to knead the sore eyebrows, and tapped the table lightly with the other hand, the monotonous voice was very clear in the big tent.Military Adviser Zhang Zhao, Cheqi General Shi Sunshao and others all looked at Sun Quan quietly. They only knew that this was an urgent letter sent by Zhang Cheng, the emissary who went to Yizhou to propose marriage, but they didn't know what was in it. I can look at Sun Quan, hoping to read some information from his face.

"Liu Bei is willing to marry, but he doesn't want to marry my son, he wants to marry Fengxian." As soon as Sun Quan mentioned the word Sun Shao, he couldn't help but glance at Zhang Zhao. Zhang Zhao's face was calm, as if he hadn't seen him.Zuo Sima Gu Yong frowned, but did not speak, while Zhong Sima Zhuge Jin hesitated to speak, shaking his head again and again.You Sima Tengdan stood up, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I think something is wrong."

"Oh, why?" Sun Quan asked calmly.

"The highest proposal is for the son, but now General Zuo wants to marry the school lieutenant, which is not in line with the etiquette. Furthermore, the school lieutenant belongs to the public family, and he is married to a foreign general. This... seems inappropriate."

Sun Quan's eyes flashed, and then he looked at the others.Zhang Zhao coughed and retorted, "The old minister thinks otherwise."

"Mr. Zhang, please speak."

"Supreme is proposing marriage for son Deng, but son Deng is young, and Guan Yu's refusal to marry is true. General Zuo wants to marry the school lieutenant instead of planning for a successful marriage. This is also reasonable. The school lieutenant and Guan Yu's daughter are about the same age. Guan Yu will definitely not object. As for the identity of the school lieutenant..." Zhang Zhao raised his head and looked at Sun Quan with piercing eyes: "The school lieutenant is neither the first nor the last among the public lineage to marry an enemy country. What's wrong?"

Teng Dan was a little displeased, he felt that Zhang Zhao tried his best to promote this marriage because he didn't want his son to fail in his first envoy mission.But he didn't dare to refute. Zhang Zhao was famous for his seniority and temper, and what he said was reasonable—it was just that he intentionally or unintentionally ignored the particularity of Sun Shao, the male clan.

Sun Quan was not angry, and asked other people's opinions. Sun Shao had nothing to do, and neither side should offend. Zhuge Jin agreed with the marriage from the overall situation, but he was afraid that Sun Quan would have other ideas, so he could only hesitate and have no clear opinion. .Only Gu Yong remained silent, Sun Quan looked at it for a while, and said directly: "What do you think, Mr. Gu?"

The big tent fell silent, and everyone turned their attention to Gu Yong.Gu Yong stroked his beard and bowed slightly, "I think it's okay."

"Why?" Sun Quan said calmly.

"First, the captain and Guan Yu's daughter are about the same age and are a good match. Two, the captain is interested in merchants and has no intention of going to court, so there will be no criticism. Third, the captain...it's time to get married."

With a flash in Sun Quan's eyes, he straightened up and nodded frequently.Sure enough, Gu Yong did not speak lightly, and he must mean what he said.He said three questions at once, one is that the marriage between Sun Shao and Guan Feng can ensure the success of the marriage, the other is that Sun Shao is not in danger, and after Sun Shao marries Guan Yu's daughter, no matter how Sun Quan suppresses him, it is justified The third is that Sun Shao is already eighteen, and his father died young. You, as an uncle, should take care of this matter for him, otherwise others will gossip.

And these three points, Sun Quan had to consider.Sun Quan was still hesitant at first, but after hearing Gu Yong's words, he immediately dispelled his doubts and decided to complete the matter.He smiled and said: "Gu Gong's words are reasonable, and I think so too. Serving the first and serving the first, if you don't have a family, how can you serve the first. Besides, my nephew has very high vision, and only a strange woman like Guan Yu's daughter can be worthy of him." .”

Everyone laughed in agreement.

Sun Quan patted the letter on the desk, and said with a smile: "You don't know something. Fengxian scolded in front of Guan Yu's gate and defeated Guan Yu's son and daughter one after another, which can be regarded as raising my prestige in Jiangdong. , I also have to reward him properly."

"Is there such a thing?" Zhang Zhao showed joy.

"Exactly." Sun Quan looked at Zhang Zhao with a smile, and motioned Gu Li to pass the slip to Zhang Zhao: "Fengxian not only defeated Guan Ping and Guan Feng by force, but also talked about the Spring and Autumn Period with Guan Yu, this is due to Zhang Gong. Otherwise, how can he be Guan Yu's opponent with his few articles."

Zhang Zhao quickly read the letter written by Zhang Cheng, laughed, and said calmly: "Although the captain is a late learner, he is very diligent. He is a talented scholar, and he will surely succeed in Confucian classics in the future."

Sun Quan was very satisfied: "Then I need to ask Mr. Zhang to supervise more."

"Sir, dare not obey orders." Zhang Zhao understood.

"In this case, then it's settled." Sun Quan waved his hand: "Everyone go down and prepare for the war first, I want to arrange this marriage. My elder brother died young, and Fengxian is like my own son. Marriage is a big deal. , but don’t be careless.”

Everyone hurriedly bowed down: "The supreme benevolence, the sacred heart, is really the luck of the captain, the luck of the ministers."

Sun Quan laughed.

After everyone had left, he stood up, holding the letter in his hand, with a longing smile on his face, thought for a moment, then turned around and said, "Ali, prepare the carriage and go back to the city."

Daqiao and Xiaoqiao sit opposite each other, there are very few chess pieces on the chessboard, and the battle situation is clear. Xiaoqiao is holding the general in his hand, but there is nowhere to put it. As soon as she put down the chess piece, she pounced on her face.

"Sister, I won't play anymore." Xiaoqiao messed up the chess game shamelessly: "This chess is made by Aman, he must have some tricks that he only taught you but not me. Auntie is not as good as Aunt after all, no fair."

Daqiao pursed his lips and smiled, glanced at Xiaoqiao and said, "Look at you, the child is still with you, and you look like a child. Xiao Yu'er has lost so much, and she has never made a fuss like you. "

Xiaoqiao glared at the grinning Zhou Yu, and said angrily, "If you don't say she's fine, I'll be even angrier if you talk about her. Girl foreign minister, does she help you more or help me more? She raised her more than a dozen years for nothing. year."

Zhou Yu was so ashamed that she buried her head in Daqiao's arms and refused to come out.Daqiao shot Xiaoqiao a look, lovingly caressed Zhou Yurou's boneless shoulders, and smiled smugly: "Xiao Yu'er is good, she knows who to help."

"Aunt—" Zhou Yu pulled out her voice, twisting coquettishly in Daqiao's arms, making Daqiao laugh heartily.

"Ma'am." Qiaoying hurried in, interrupting the three of them talking and laughing.Seeing that she looked a little nervous, Daqiao couldn't help being a little surprised, and quickly helped Zhou Yu up. "What's up?"

"The supreme being is here." Qiaoying said in a panic, looking at a loss.

"Why is he here?" The smile on Daqiao's face disappeared without a trace, she stood up, and said unhappily: "Didn't I just say it, wait for Aman to come back to thank you, as the master of Jiangdong, how can he?" Self-deprecating status. If you don’t see me, just say that I’m not in good health.”

"Say it is... say it has something to do with the young master." Qiaoying lowered her voice and interrupted Daqiao's words.

"Aman?" Daqiao was taken aback, and quickly pulled Qiaoying's arm, his voice trembling: "What's wrong with Aman? Could it be that Guan Yu refused to marry him, and he lost his temper again, alas, this child... ...How did you get outside, still so impulsive, this..."

Seeing that Daqiao was out of order, Xiaoqiao hurriedly stepped forward to pull her away, and said calmly to Qiaoying, "How is the Supreme Master?"

"Fortunately, you seem to be in a good mood."

"That should be fine." Xiao Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to persuade Da Qiao, but Da Qiao said angrily: "He is in a good mood, then something must have happened to Ah Man, so it will be fine."

Xiaoqiao sighed, Daqiao was usually calm, but whenever Sun Shao was involved, she was in chaos.She stepped forward to hold the bridge and comforted her: "Sister, how can you think like this? If Aman has something to do, even if he is happy in his heart, he won't show it on his face."

After hearing this, Daqiao felt that there seemed to be some truth, so he felt more at ease.After thinking for a while, he waved his hand and said, "Greeting immediately."

"Sister, let's take shelter in the inner room for now." After speaking, he dragged Zhou Yu to the inner room in a hurry.Daqiao carefully checked his clothes again, went to the court and knelt down, and then asked Qiaoying to invite Sun Quan in.

Sun Quan, who was waiting outside, breathed a sigh of relief, coughed, and walked slowly into the gate with majestic steps.He rewarded Sun Shao with this house for the purpose of being closer to the bridge, but he did not expect that he rewarded so many things one after another, but the bridge never crossed the house to thank him. It was not until today that he saw it for the first time. bridge.The longing that had been suppressed for too long made him feel a little uneasy, his heart beat fast, his lips were a little dry, and his feet couldn't help but want to walk faster.

Seeing the kneeling figure from afar, and seeing the graceful curve even though it was hidden under the bloated winter coat, Sun Quan could only feel a rush of blood rushing to his head, the corners of his eyes twitched involuntarily, and he was carried behind him. His hands were mixed together, his joints were a little white, his steps suddenly accelerated, and he walked to the bridge in two steps, he bent down, and stretched out his trembling hands towards the figure that had appeared countless times in his dreams.
