Chapter 277: Visiting Relatives
Wu Guotai was not Sun Jian's main room at first, and the two sisters married Sun Jian together, and Wu Guotai was a side room at that time. Later, Wu Guotai's sister died, and Wu Guotai became Sun Jian's main room. Sun Ce, Sun Quan is not Wu Guotai's biological son, only Sun Shangxiang is. It's just because Wu Guotai raised the young Sun Ce and Sun Quan, so whether it is Sun Ce or Sun Quan, they respect Wu Guotai from the bottom of their hearts. Of course, that respect refers to the fact that before Sun Quan took power, since Sun Quan became the lord of Jiangdong, Wu Guotai could only be relegated to the third, and the lord of Jiangdong was put first by Sun Quan, followed by himself, and then Wu Guotai.
Wu Guotai returned to Moling to recuperate, but his condition not only did not improve but worsened, half of it was caused by sadness, and the other half was angry by Sun Quan's changes. What a good child in the past, how did he suddenly become a despicable villain who could deny his relatives for the sake of rights.
In the past, Wu Guotai still firmly believed that Sun Ce and Sun Quan would become what they are today, but looking back and thinking about it carefully, there seems to be no misunderstanding here, that is, for the sake of power, the younger brother killed the elder brother.
As a mother, the last thing she wants to see is a scene of cannibalism between the children she raises, but it happened to the Sun family, and this may be the main reason for Wu Guotai's aggravation.
It stands to reason that Wu Guotai is just a woman, and her health will not have any impact on the world. But Wu Guotai's children are powerful, one is a general in the court, and the other is a prince who seized Jiangdong, with the foil of these two children, Wu Guotai's identity has been invisibly raised.
Sun Quan's mind is now full of how to thwart the imperial court's southern expedition in one fell swoop in this place of Chibi, and he naturally cares less about his mother, but he just tells the doctor to treat it carefully, and if there is any accident, what to do, he doesn't ask again.
Sun Quan didn't have time to care about his seriously ill mother, but Wu Guotai's other two children were anxious when they learned the news that their mother was seriously ill.
Qingzhou Penglai, Sun Ce, and Zhou Yu, the opposite-sex brothers who have an irreversible relationship, are facing off at this time.
"Gongjin, if you still take my Sun Ce as a brother, then get out of the way now, otherwise don't blame me and turn my face, I know you Zhou Gongjin, but I can't recognize you with this knife in my hand!" Sun Ce clenched the ancient ingot knife in his hand and warned Zhou Yu for the last time that if Zhou Yu did not get out of the way, Sun Ce would prepare to force his way through.
Zhou Yu sighed when he saw this, "Bo Fu, you and I have been friends for many years, don't I know what kind of temper you have?" Zhou Yu said that as soon as this hand was raised, a strong man with a fishing net was immediately in place, and when Zhou Yu gave an order, they would do it to their own master.
"Zhou Gongjin, hello, hello......" Sun Ce pointed at Zhou Yu for a long time and didn't say a whole sentence. He really regretted that he had listened to Zhou Yu's suggestion and said that he would specialize in training a group of warriors who were good at capturing enemy generals, but he didn't expect Zhou Yu to be waiting for him here. Is this a shot in the foot?
"Bo Fu, listen to me, you really can't return to Jiangdong at this time, although Jiangdong is still surnamed Sun, but it is no longer your Sun Ce's grandson." Zhou Yu was still persuading hard, but Sun Ce just silently raised the ancient ingot knife in his hand, Zhou Yu sighed helplessly when he saw this, and ordered, "Do it, try not to hurt him." ”
Sun Ce is known as the little overlord of Jiangdong, and the force value is not something that a dozen strong men can do. But the problem is that Sun Ce's opponent this time is Zhou Yu, in order to prevent Sun Ce from acting recklessly, Zhou Yu began to prepare early, and most of the usual training is based on Sun Ce as an imaginary enemy. Poor Sun Ce never dreamed that Zhou Yu, who was regarded as a brother by himself, would dig a pit and wait for him early, and what is even more odious is that half of this pit was dug by himself......
"Carry it back and keep it under strict guard." Looking at Sun Ce, who was glaring at him, Zhou Yu looked away a little weakly, although Zhou Yu was taking precautions out of good intentions, he did take advantage of Sun Ce's trust in him.
In order to prevent Sun Ce, who was born with divine power, from breaking free, the person in charge of guarding Sun Ce found a thumb-thick iron chain and tied Sun Ce several times before he felt at ease.
They were relieved, but they made Sun Ce angry enough. He is the main general here, but now he has asked his subordinates to tie up like rice dumplings, and he uses thumb-thick chains, which makes Sun Ce feel very shameless.
"Good news, Bofu." Just when Sun Ce was thinking about how to get back to the field when he turned around and regained his freedom, Zhou Yu ran in with an excited face.
"Zhou Gongjin, will you bring me good news?" Sun Ce couldn't act at this time, so he glanced at Zhou Yu and said.
Zhou Yu knew that Sun Ce's mood was not going well at this time, and seeing that he was the culprit was not pleasing to the eye, he didn't care about Sun Ce's attitude, and continued, "Bo Fu, the angel of the imperial court has arrived, why don't you loosen the ties of our General Sun quickly." ”
"Don't even touch me!" Sun Ce kicked away the strong man who came over and tried to untie the chain for him, and said with a sneer, "You have the final say on whether you tie it up or not, but it's up to me whether it's loose or not." ”
“…… Don't mess around, the angel is still waiting, don't regret going late. Zhou Yu said with a smile.
"Hmph, then tell him to wait." Sun Ce replied nonchalantly.
“…… Well, you won't regret it for a while. ”
"Ha~ who regrets who is ......"
“…… Eldest brother...... What game are you playing? Just when Sun Ce was arguing with Zhou Yu, a familiar voice sounded in Sun Ce's ears, Sun Ce followed the prestige, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly shouted to the people on the side, "What are you still doing in a daze, don't hurry up and loosen the tie for me!" ”
Zhou Yu wanted to laugh, but Sun Ce, who was afraid of stimulation, became angry, so he forced a smile and waved his hand to the person next to him, and someone stepped forward to untie the chain for Sun Ce.
"Big brother, why did you want people to tie you up just now?" Sun Shangxiang asked Sun Ce without a little eyesight. And Sun Ce was not angry with his sister who had not seen him for a long time, but fortunately, Zhou Yu relieved Sun Ce and explained to Sun Shangxiang that Sun Ce was helping to test the quality of the iron chain.
"Shang Xiang, why did you become an angel of the imperial court and come here?" In order to prevent Sun Shangxiang from getting to the bottom of the matter, Sun Ce changed the topic and asked.
This question really diverted Sun Shangxiang's attention, and said to Sun Ce with a happy face: "Brother, we can go back to Jiangdong to visit our mother."
"Really?" Sun Ce was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.
"Really, in order to ensure the smooth operation of our trip, the Holy Lord specially ordered Jamu to come to assist."
Jia Mu's father was Jia Xu Jia Wenhe, who was in a high position in the court, and his son came in person, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's first reaction was that Jia Mu's purpose was not as simple as helping him return to Jiangdong to visit relatives.
"Shang Xiang, why didn't you say such an important thing earlier?" Sun Ce complained about his sister.
"Brother, people have forgotten, so I'm curious about the fact that you just let the chains tie yourself up." Sun Shangxiang said coquettishly to Sun Ce.
Sun Shangxiang's father died early, and Sun Shangxiang died when he was still an infant, leaving orphans and widows to live a difficult life. It was Sun Ce, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old at the time, who took on the burden of supporting the Sun family, and Sun Shangxiang lost her father since she was a child, it can be said that in her heart, Sun Ce is a combination of her father and brother, which is why she reacted violently when she learned that her second brother Sun Quan murdered her eldest brother.
"Where is he now?" Sun Ce asked.
"I'm waiting in the city."
……
Sun Ce originally wanted to meet Jia Mu, no matter whether Jia Mu came to assist him to return to Jiangdong to visit relatives or piggyback, but he always helped, and the necessary etiquette must be necessary.
But Zhou Yu stopped Sun Ce, since Jia Mu asked Sun Shangxiang to pretend to be an angel of the court this time, it means that Jia Mu didn't want to show his face in front of people. In this case, wouldn't Sun Ce take the initiative to visit someone else's plan.
After hearing this, Sun Ce also felt that it made sense, so he gave up his original plan, and after handing over the military power in his hands to Zhou Yu to take care of it, Sun Ce took Sun Shangxiang to quietly return to Jiangdong after some disguise.
……
Moling Sun Mansion
Since Sun Quan heard that there was a king in the southeast, he had been thinking about "moving the capital" to Moling, and after successfully moving to Moling to settle down, Sun Quan built his own mansion with great construction. The Sun Mansion is not so much a mansion, but its scale is not much different from that of the royal palace. Just like the late Liu Biao, the king of Jingzhou, the place where he lived was built even better than the imperial palace of the Han Dynasty.
When the place is bigger, there are more people needed, and the more people there are, the more opportunities there are to be easy to blend in. It was impossible for Sun Quan to know all the subordinates in the palace, and Sun Ce and Sun Shangxiang took advantage of this to infiltrate the Sun Mansion with the assistance of the imperial court. Someone took care of it, and Sun Ce and Sun Shangxiang soon met their old mother Wu Guotai, who was sick in bed.
Compared with before leaving Jiangdong, Wu Guotai is now judged by the two of them, and Sun Ce and Sun Shangxiang can't help but feel distressed, and the crying of the two also woke up Wu Guotai, who couldn't sleep well.
"Who weeps?" Wu Guotai was dazzled, and he only knew that someone was crying at his bedside, but he didn't recognize Sun Ce and Sun Shangxiang who had changed their costumes.
"Mother, my child is Shang Xiang." Sun Ce knelt at the head of the bed and whispered in Wu Guotai's ear.
"Bo Fu, Shang Xiang?" Wu Guotai was stunned for a moment, then reacted, his eyes widened suddenly, trying to see the two people in front of the bed clearly.
"Mother, it's the child and Shang Xiang, you heard it right." Sun Ce grabbed Wu Guotai's hand and said softly.
"You, you're back? Come back...... It's not good, you, you go quickly, if you let your brother know......" Wu Guotai smiled with relief at first, then remembered something, and said to Sun Ce urgently.
"Mother, don't worry, Zhongmou is now in Chaisang, and there are not many people who know the child and Shang Xiang in this grandson's mansion, and there are still people in the child and Shang Xiang who are secretly taking care of it, and it will not be revealed for a while." Sun Ce comforted Wu Guotai when he heard this.
“…… What about Shang Xiang's girl? Wu Guotai was silent for a while and asked.
"Mother, here the child is." Hearing this, Sun Shangxiang hurriedly wiped his tears, stepped forward to hold Wu Guotai's hand and said softly, and at this time, Sun Ce also stepped aside.
"Shang Xiang, you seem to have changed a lot." Wu Guotai looked at Sun Shangxiang carefully for a moment, and said slowly.
"Mother, you seem to have changed a lot." Sun Shangxiangqiang replied with a smile.
"Huh...... Judging by the way you look, no one should be angry with you. ”
"Mother, there is a big brother to support the child, who dares to bully the child? And don't forget the mother, the child is a heroine known as the bow-waisted princess. ”
“…… You girl, you really don't change your life, who dares to marry you if you go on like this. Wu Guotai smiled when he heard this.
"If no one wants a child, they won't marry, and they will eat the eldest brother for the rest of their lives." Sun Shangxiang also said with a smile.
"It's over, the eldest lady of my Sun family is going to smash her hands." Sun Ce on the side also said playfully.
"Mother, the eldest brother said this about me, and you don't help the child talk about him." Sun Shangxiang said coquettishly to Wu Guotai when she heard this.
Wu Guotai will fall ill, half of which is angry with Sun Quan, and the other half is worried about the safety of Sun Ce and Sun Shangxiang. After all, Sun Quan is now an enemy of the imperial court, and as Sun Quan's immediate family, Wu Guotai is very worried that the imperial court will use this as an excuse to embarrass the two of them, but judging from the performance of the two of them, it seems that they are not affected by Sun Quan.
"Bo Fu, what position do you hold in the court now?" Wu Guotai asked Sun Cedao.
The mother is relieved that the saint today has a clear distinction between right and wrong, and has not angered the child because of the conspiracy. Now the child is ordered to run the 20,000 water army with Gong Jin, with the child as the main and Gong Jin as the auxiliary. As for Shang Xiang, she is now also the deputy general of the Luan Wei Battalion in the inner courtyard of the Suwei Palace, and she may know more people than children. Sun Ce understood what Wu Guotai was worried about, and Wen Yan explained to Wu Guotai.
"Could it be that you still have permission from the imperial court to come this time?"
It was the child who was so anxious when he heard that his mother was seriously ill that he wanted to secretly go south to return to visit, but was stopped by Gongjin and others. Thanks to him stopping me, it wasn't long before Naoka was ordered to join the child and return to Koto to visit her mother. In order for us to meet our mother smoothly, the people arranged by the imperial court in Jiangdong contributed a lot this time, otherwise how could my mother see her child and Shang Xiang so quickly. ”
"Okay, okay, in this way, the saint is a righteous person today." After listening to Sun Ce's story, Wu Guotai put down half of his hanging heart, nodded and said.
"Mother, the saint is indeed a loving and righteous person today, so you don't have to worry that the child and Shang Xiang will have a bad time." Sun Ce nodded in agreement.
"Then how long can you and Shang Xiang stay here?" Wu Guotai asked.
"This, at least ten days, at most half a month, but also subject to the arrangement of the imperial court."
"And in what capacity are you walking around the mansion now?" Wu Guotai asked again.
"Descendant, it's not easy for people to find out." Sun Ce replied softly.
People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and seeing that their sons and daughters are doing well, Wu Guotai's illness is half cured. And Wu Guotai's illness has improved, and the doctor in charge of consulting Wu Guotai is also relieved. At this time, Mrs. Xu, who was in charge of the "harem" for Sun Quan, also agreed to Wu Guotai's request to transfer two subordinates to the hospital on errands. This was not a big deal, and Sun Ce and Sun Shangxiang also took this opportunity to appear in Wu Guotai's small courtyard.
