Chapter 11: Erjo

North of the Yangtze River, the last thing Gongsun Kang saw was Er Qiao.

Liu Ye was there, because his place of residence was Huainan County, Yangzhou, and it was the location of Yuan Shu. Similarly, Gongsun Kang was reluctant to take risks.

Although Gongsun Kang's martial arts are strong, and he is reinforced and iron-clad. But he was never willing to put himself in danger. Even if the steel knife can't cut itself, the fire burns? Flooding? Blowing up mutters with explosives? There are still many ways to kill yourself, and you are not an immortal who can't be killed.

So Gongsun Kang asked Bu Qiu to send Guo Jia's letter to Liu Ye to probe his tone and see if he was willing to go to Qingzhou or Liaodong.

As for himself, he went to Anhui County, Lujiang County (now Qianshan, Anqing, Anhui) to pick up Da Qiao and Er Qiao.

A few years ago, Gongsun Kang had already arranged a system of soldiers to monitor Er Qiao in Anhui County. Now that it's the harvest season, Gongsun Kang doesn't care what Er Qiao's thoughts are, is it difficult to leave his homeland? He was going to forcibly take Er Qiao away today.

Erqiao's surname is originally "Qiao", which can be called Qiao's. As for the names of the two of them, they can be called Qiao Liang and Qiao Wan as Qiao Wan.

People near and far in Anhui City know that Qiao Xuan's family business is rich. gave birth to two beautiful daughters like hibiscus out of the water, both of whom have the appearance of sinking fish and geese, and both sisters are well-read, fluent, and poetic, especially the female celebrity is even more famous. But because they are still young, they have not yet been married.

Da Qiao was born in 180 A.D. and is 13 years old this year; Little Joe is 11 years old. Even if they grow up, they have the color of the country, look forward to life, and are brilliant, which can be called peerless beauties. Now she's just a little Lori. Therefore, Gongsun Kang thinks that these rumors are all made by the Qiao family, just like the Zhen family is building momentum for Zhen Luo.

Marriage is also "the order of parents, the words of matchmakers". The consent of both parents is required to marry a wife, and concubinage is almost exclusively based on the man's own wishes.

Gongsun Kang planned to salute first and then soldier, first propose to take a concubine, and if Qiao Lao did not agree, he would forcibly take it away. Fortunately, Qiaojiazhuang is outside the city of Wancheng, otherwise it would be troublesome to rob the population and go out of the city.

Gongsun Kang sent 1,000 Liaodong soldiers, led by Guan Hai, to change the clothes of ordinary people, take weapons, and secretly ambush around Qiaojiazhuang.

Together with Sun Qian, he brought gifts and came to visit Qiao Xuan.

Qiaojiazhuang is in the eastern suburbs of Anhui City, surrounded by streams, and a village is covered by pine and bamboo, which is a good scenery.

Qiao Xuan is also a person who has seen a big scene, although Gongsun Kang has identified himself as a Qingzhou pastor. But Qiao Xuan was still neither arrogant nor humble, but just talked to him very politely.

Gongsun Kang proposed to see the famous Da Qiao and Er Qiao.

Qiao Xuan refused, he said: "It's just random rumors from passers-by, the little girl has no beauty." Besides, he is still young, and it is inconvenient to meet customers. ”

Sun Qian played a round and said: "The name of my father-in-law Jiumu Erqiao specially came to the door in person, wanting to be a family with Qiao. ”

Qiao Xuan said unceremoniously: "I heard that the general has married Zhen Jiang, the daughter of the Zhen family, and there are several concubines. I don't know how to be in-laws with me? ”

Gongsun Kang realized that Qiao Xuan knew himself very well, and he didn't want to see him, it seemed that he wanted his daughter to marry as his wife.

It's a pity that Qiao Xuan was picky and selective in history, and until Da Qiao was 18 years old, he didn't pick a good person. In the end, she was robbed by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu to be concubines.

So Gongsun Kang said unceremoniously: "Gong Qiao, let me tell you the truth." With Er Qiao's beauty, ordinary people can't keep them. Even if they get married, they will be plundered by the powerful in the end, and their fate will be very miserable at that time. ”

Although Gongsun Kang was alarmist, Qiao Xuan just didn't agree, and several people froze here.

At this time, a family member ran in to report: Zhuangzi has been surrounded by people, I don't know if it is a robber?

Qiao Xuan glared at Gongsun Kang angrily and said, "This is your sincerity? ”

Gongsun Kang smiled slightly and said: "Even if I don't do this, there will be princes who will do it in the future, and this is the fate of your daughter, Duke Qiao!" ”

At this time, two little Loli ran out of the inner hall. Sure enough, it is a pink carved jade, full of beauty embryos.

Among them, Qiao Liang, the eldest one, first called "father", and then blessed Gongsun Kangfu and saluted.

And then he said: "The conversation between the general and my father, we all heard. ”

Gongsun Kang asked Xiao Lori quietly: "Then what is your own opinion?"

Da Qiao said: "The matter of marriage pays attention to" the life of the parents and the words of the matchmaker". Now my father doesn't agree, does the general want to rob him? How is that different from a robber? Is it worthy of the reputation of the general as a national hero? If the general wants to use force, I will refuse to die. ”

Gongsun Kang sneered: "What hero doesn't love beautiful women?" This world is the world of the jungle. If I don't take you with me today. Six years later, you will still be snatched and taken to Soochow. At that time, I didn't see your sisters commit suicide, but they lived a very nourishing and comfortable life. ”

Qiao Xuan, Da Qiao, and Er Qiao were all stunned and asked, "How could the general know what happened six years later?" ”

Sun Qian hurriedly slipped his beard and said, "Our general is the god of thunder. The Japanese people worshipped him as a god, made statues for him, and worshiped him every day. ”

This story spread all over the world, and Qiao's family also knew about it. It is still possible to say that Gongsun Kang knows the past and the future.

The so-called suicide is just Da Qiao's threat to Gongsun Kang, if she really wants her to die, she won't murmur.

"I heard that the general's poetry is outstanding, and he has made popular poems for Zhen Luo and Diao Chan, which have been spread all over the world. Today, if the general also makes a poem for my sister, we will follow the general to Liaodong. "The clever Da Qiao came up with a solution to the problem and gave Gongsun Kang a step down.

"It's not difficult to compose poetry." Gongsun Kang said this very confidently, but secretly complained in his heart, he can make fart poems!

"I want to make a poem that can also be passed down to the world, so that you can be rightly beautiful." Gongsun Kang's high-sounding delay time.

Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were moved, and they really thought that Gongsun Kang was looking for amazing verses for them.

In the poems about Er Qiao made by later generations, all of them could not avoid Dongwu and Zhou Yu, and Gongsun Kang carefully recalled that he wanted to find a poem that was easy to modify.

In the end, Gongsun Kang chose Xin Jiaxuan's "Bodhisattva Man". He said, "Bring me the pen, I already have it." ”

So, Gongsun Kang waved his pen, left ink treasure on the paper, and wrote a poem specifically for Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao:

The shadow of the painting building is dipped in the clear stream water. The song resounded in the clouds. Curtain swallow double. Poplar low reflection window.

The song is specially mistaken. I want to try Gongsun Gu. The drunken guest is gone. Spring breeze size Joe.

Now Qiao Xuan has face and lining, and the form is compelling, so he has to agree to Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao marrying Gongsun Kang as concubines.

Gongsun Kang said, "Thank you, father-in-law. But what I just said is not a threat. Six years later, Anhui City faced war, and the Qiao family was destroyed. So it's best for the father-in-law to move within five years. ”

Qiao Xuan said; "Let's talk about it then, isn't there still five years left?"

Now that the marriage has been decided, Gongsun Kang has made up two generous gifts, which are counted as dowry gifts. Among them are two glasses and two barrels of wine. Worth a thousand gold. The dowry is not generous, and it gives Qiao Xuan enough face.

But when he left, he still resolutely took away Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao. Ignoring their pleadings. Gongsun Kang is afraid of long nights and dreams, chickens and eggs.
