Mrs. Wu and Yuan Quan talked about family things in the hall. Before Mrs. Wu came, the backyard was divided into two parts, Yuan Quan and Yuan Heng lived in the east courtyard, and Sun Ce lived in the west courtyard. Yin Ji is in Wancheng, Sun Ce has no women by his side, and the housekeeping is arranged by Yuan Quan to help take care of it. After Mrs. Wu came, she felt that this was inappropriate, and disrespected Yuan Quan and Yuan Heng, so she arranged the west courtyard for Yuan Quan's sisters to live in, and she lived in the east courtyard, and still left the west courtyard to Sun Ce.

In the Han Dynasty, the host had to sit on the west side, facing the east, and the guests sat on the east side, facing the west, so that Sister Yuan Quan lived in the west courtyard, which was equivalent to giving Sister Yuan Quan an identity similar to the master, and Mrs. Wu was in a humble position. But from another point of view, the side courtyard is the courtyard where the guests are placed, and the main courtyard is where the host lives, so that Mrs. Wu becomes the host again, and Sister Yuan Quan becomes the guest.

There are two reasons for this, and they contradict each other, right or wrong, depending on how you interpret it. In short, Mrs. Wu and Yuan Quan are very polite, and there is no difference in sight, and no one can say that Mrs. Wu is disrespectful to Yuan Quan. Even when sitting in the hall, Mrs. Wu sat on the east side and Yuan Quan sat on the west side.

"Is there anything wrong with Madame?" With a smile, Mrs. Wu whispered, "If there is something, I will ask people to call Bo Fu in." ”

Yuan Quan smiled and waved his hand. "Although there is something wrong, it can't delay the wife and godson. He is a general who leads thousands of troops and wins every battle outside, but he is so deferential at home. Mrs. teaches her son well, which is admirable. ”

Mrs. Wu was very relieved and said politely. "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I'm a small family, I don't know how to take care of it, these children are a little naughty, and I also have a headache. I heard that Bo Fu had been drunk and messing around before, but Madame still advised me, I really don't know how to thank Madame. ”

"Madame is so polite, I'm just doing it. General Sun commanded the army to fight abroad, and countless people died in a single thought, and the pressure was very high, and it was reasonable to indulge occasionally. Speaking of which, my Yuan family delayed him, if it weren't for his father's deathbed entrusting him to marry his sister, he would have married a wife and had children at his age. Born with yin and yang, if there is a woman by your side, yin and yang are combined, it is also good. ”

"Madame doesn't have to blame herself, it's his blessing to be able to marry Ling Mei as his wife, what can he do a few years later. He is only eighteen, twenty-five or sixteen, and there are too many people to marry, and he can't stand this loneliness, how to do things in the future. Taking a step back, Ling Mei is mourned, and it is not suitable for her to marry for the time being, so you can also take a concubine for him. Isn't that Yin in Wancheng, I've already arranged for someone to pick her up, and she should be there in a few days. ”

"Madame has thought it through." Yuan Quan praised and changed the subject. "I heard that Mrs. is going to build a Guande Hall, but is there such a thing?"

Mrs. Wu nodded. "What do you think of Madame?"

When Zhang Zhao passed through Pingyu, after seeing Sun Quan, Sun Yi and several other children, he was very satisfied, and immediately took an enlightenment class and established his identity as a teacher and student. He also asked to see Mrs. Wu, and made a suggestion, saying that the children of the Sun family were not only smart, but also had good figures, and were good materials for martial arts, and they could practice the teachings of the sages and practice the six arts at the same time, and suggested that Mrs. Wu build a Guande Hall for them to practice archery. Guande takes the meaning of "shooting to view virtue". Mrs. Wu didn't understand it halfway, and she didn't know how to build this Guande Hall, so she kept dragging it out.

"I'm a woman, what can I think of?" Yuan Quan said with a smile: "I just want to sponsor the repair, in order to thank General Shengde, and I have a reluctant request, I want to ask my wife and the general for approval." ”

Mrs. Wu looked at Yuan Quan puzzled, not knowing what she wanted to say.

Yuan Quan explained. Yuan Yao has just inherited the title of Marquis of An Guoting, with 1,100 households and more than 20 gold in taxes every year. Yuan Quan planned to use ten years of tax to help build Guande Hall. But she hopes to build the Guande Hall in Ruyang, right next to the Yuan family cemetery. Yuan Yao is still holding a funeral and can't leave the cemetery lightly, if Zhang Zhao can go there to teach the children of the Sun family to read, Yuan Yao can study with them and receive Zhang Zhao's education.

Mrs. Wu lowered her eyelids and said nothing.

Yuan Quan funded the construction of Guande Hall, and it was 200 gold as soon as he made a move, which seemed very generous, but in fact he was very selfish. Guande Hall was built next to Yuan Shu's tomb, and it was funded by the Yuan family, and it was used to use the income of the food of the Marquis of Anguo Pavilion, who built it? Do the people who go to Guande Hall study or guard the tomb for Yuan Shu, and observe the virtue of Yuan Shu?

If you don't speak, you don't agree.

Yuan Quan was not in a hurry, with a shallow smile on his face, he waited quietly.

Time passed unconsciously, and when Mrs. Wu looked up, she found that the hour had passed, and hurriedly asked the maid next to her to invite Sun Ce, secretly regretting it in her heart. Punishing Sun Ce to face the wall is not only to set an example for Sun Yi and Sun Shangxiang, but also to establish his authority and let Yuan Quan see who is the master here. But this is just a situation, it can't be taken seriously, after all, Sun Ce has grown up, and he can't be treated like a child anymore when he commands troops and fights abroad. Originally, it was just a meaning, but I didn't expect to talk to Yuan Quan without speculation, and the time passed. Sun Ce is also a quick temper, in case she is unhappy and leaves directly, she will be a bit self-defeating.

In Mrs. Wu's apprehension, there was a faint sound of footsteps outside the door. Mrs. Wu listened attentively, frowning slightly. The footsteps were steady and powerful, but not like Sun Ce's footsteps. As Sun Ce's mother, Mrs. Wu knew Sun Ce's habits too well, he walked quickly and lightly, and there was an uncertain rhythm. This footstep is obviously not Sun Ce, but a bit like Sun He. Could it be that Sun Ce ran away and Sun He came to report?

At this moment, Sun Ce entered the door, walked quickly through the courtyard, came to the front of the hall, and bowed.

"I've seen my mother."

Mrs. Wu was relieved and hurriedly said, "There are guests here, why don't you salute the guests first." ”

Sun Ce turned around and saluted Yuan Quan again. "I've seen Mrs. Yuan."

Yuan Quan stared at Sun Ce with a pair of wonderful eyes, feeling incredible. The Sun Ce she knew was not like this, he was an unruly tiger, sometimes with the cunning of a wolf, how could he be like a docile cat in front of Mrs. Wu. Said that the penalty station will be punished, and he is very honest after the station.

Seeing Yuan Quan staring at himself without scruples, Sun Ce's heart that had just been precipitated by facing the wall began to come alive again.

"Sister...... Is there something wrong? ”

Knowing that it was rude, Yuan Quan hurriedly withdrew his gaze, raised his green fingers, covered his lips, and coughed: "Come and discuss the matter of Guandetang with Mrs. and the general." As he spoke, he said his thoughts and looked at Mrs. Wu again. Madame has not yet decided, and will wait for the general to come and discuss. ”

Sun Ce understood as soon as he heard it. This is a difficult problem, my mother has not decided, she just doesn't agree at all. promised Yuan Quan, but his mother was not happy. If he didn't agree, Yuan Quan was disappointed again. Hey, why do I have a sense of déjà vu for this kind of scene?

He raised his eyelids and glanced at Yuan Quan secretly. Although Yuan Quan's gaze did not fall on Sun Ce's face, his face became crimson, and his head hung lower.
