Chapter 278: Who is it?
Mrs. Xu is not Sun Quan's original partner, she was originally the main room of Sun Quan's third brother Sun Xu. Sun Xu's personality is a little irritable, and after being treated coldly by his brother Sun Ce, he became even more irritable and impulsive, and he also beat and scolded his subordinates. So much so that later, Dai Yuan, who was originally Sun Xu's subordinates, and Fei Lan bought off Bian Hong, the guard next to Sun Xu, and killed Sun Xu while he was drunk. At that time, she fell in love with the young and beautiful Xu family, that is, Mrs. Xu, and wanted to accept the Xu family as his wife.
That's the trick of lust! Xu pretended to agree, and while grooming and dressing up to gain time, he sent someone to inform Sun Quan, but as a result, Fei Lan not only did not hold the beauty, but also lost his own life. What is puzzling is that after the revenge was avenged, the Xu family also changed from the original third brother and sister to Sun Quan's Mrs. Xu.
Brother and sister-in-law, this is not in line with the traditional morality of the Han people. Sun Quan's original partner Xie was angry to death because of this incident, and Wu Guotai did not have a good face for Xu because of this, and Wu Guotai told him about these things one by one when Sun Ce and Sun Shangxiang stayed by Wu Guotai's side and pretended to be subordinates.
Sun Ce was very unaccustomed to Sun Quan's behavior of taking care of his younger brother and daughter-in-law to take care of his bed. There is no such thing as a man who is not lustful! But you can't be so hungry. But right now, Sun Quan is the lord of Jiangdong, and even if Sun Ce wants to talk about him, he knows that he can't show up at this time.
Not only can he not show his face, but he also has to stare at Sun Shangxiang, who is lively and active. Before Sun Shangxiang ran away from home and went to Chang'an to join her, she had a good relationship with the Xu family, and the Xu family was also familiar with Sun Shangxiang, if she bumped into the Xu family in the mansion, she was likely to be recognized.
"Brother, don't worry, I'll just hide from her." Although Sun Shangxiang swore to Sun Ce and made a promise, Sun Ce still didn't dare to be careless and did not allow Sun Shangxiang to leave his sight. Although Sun Shangxiang was dissatisfied with Sun Ce's distrust, he also knew that Sun Ce was for his own good, so he acquiesced to Sun Ce's "concern" and honestly stayed by Wu Guotai's side to accompany his mother.
But things in this world are like this, and from time to time I want to give you a little "surprise", Sun Ce didn't plan to provoke the Xu family, but the Xu family took the initiative to come to the door to ask Wu Guotai for peace.
Xu is very smart, she knows that because of the matter of her predecessor Xie, Wu Guotai, the mother-in-law, does not want to see her. This time, it was rare to ask himself to ask two subordinates to serve in the small courtyard, which made Xu see the possibility of easing the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Filial piety comes first! Since the Xu family has become Sun Quan's Mrs. Xu, now that Sun Quan is busy with foreign affairs in Chaisang, she, as a daughter-in-law, naturally has to practice filial piety on behalf of her husband, so as not to be criticized. But Xu didn't know that her "ice-breaking journey" would never be as smooth as she imagined.
Wu Guotai will open her mouth, that is, she wants to keep Sun Ce and Sun Shangxiang by her side to take a few more looks, which does not mean that she has become a treat for the Xu family. The Xu family came at this time, which is equivalent to reducing the time for Wu Guotai to reunite with his children, and it is hell to be treated by Wu Guotai.
But fortunately, Wu Guotai also knew the seriousness of the matter, and she didn't want Sun Ce and Sun Shangxiang to reveal their identities, and she didn't directly refuse Xu's visit.
People are old and treacherous, horses are old and slippery, rabbits are old and eagles are difficult to take, this is not bad at all. Don't look at Wu Guotai's dislike of Xu's heart, but when talking to Xu, he didn't let the smart Xu hear the slightest flaw, but felt that his mother-in-law was reasonable.
Sun Ce and Sun Shangxiang are the subordinates of the mansion at the moment, and the Xu family is the hostess of the mansion, so naturally there is no need to go out of their way to see the two of them, and the main purpose of the Xu family is to ease the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Wu Guotai covered up this matter with a good sentence and was very obedient, Wu Guotai didn't mention it, and Xu would not be stupid enough to admonish the two subordinates in person, in order to show his attention to Wu Guotai.
After the Xu family left, Sun Shangxiang, who had been hiding in the dark and did not show up, immediately ran in front of Wu Guotai, looked at Wu Guotai with adoring eyes and said, "Mother, you are so powerful." ”
"This kid ......" Wu Guotai couldn't cry or laugh, looked at Sun Ce who came over and said, "Bo Fu, you really came to Jiangdong this time just to visit your mother?" ”
“…… The mother can rest assured that the child and Shang Xiang really came only to visit the mother this time, and the saint is benevolent now, and he does not want the child to be in a dilemma, so in addition to visiting the mother, the rest of the things are not for the child to participate. Sun Ce thought about it and chose to answer truthfully.
“…… Shang Xiang, you go to my room and get the sandalwood box I put in the cupboard. Wu Guotai was silent for a moment and instructed Sun Shangxiang.
Sun Shangxiang is not stupid, knowing that this is her mother who has something to say to her brother alone, she deliberately opened herself, nodded and left the room, but she didn't take a few steps before turning around and coming back, quietly hiding outside the door and eavesdropping. I heard Wu Guotai in the house ask Sun Ce: "Bo Fu, your sister has been in Chang'an with you for so long, but what kind of person did you meet?" She is not young anymore, and if she doesn't get married again, I'm afraid that she will become an old girl in the future......"
“…… The mother forgives the sin, and the child has not known about the affairs of the family since he was ordered to go to the Penglai Water Army, and I am afraid that even Da Qiao will know more clearly than I know. ”
"Didn't you hear a little wind?" Wu Guotai asked unrelentingly.
"Uh...... There was a sentence in Feng Daqiao's family letter before, saying that Shang Xiang may have met someone he liked, but who it was not clear. Mother, you also know Shang Xiang's temper, if she refuses to speak, no one can do anything. Sun Ce thought for a moment and replied.
Knowing the daughter Mo Ruomu, Wu Guotai also knows Sun Shangxiang's temper, if she really doesn't want to tell others, Da Qiao's weak female stream does not have a problem with Sun Shangxiang.
"How is Shao'er doing?" Sun Ce mentioned Da Qiao, which made Wu Guotai think of his eldest grandson.
"Mother rest assured, Shao'er is fine. Now he is in the palace as the companion of the great prince, and he is receiving the teachings of the famous Confucian. Sun Ce replied when he heard this.
“…… You're not going to teach Shao'er martial arts? ”
"No, after the world is pacified, it is necessary to rely on literature, not martial arts, to govern the world. And Shao'er is smart and is a reading material. Mother, maybe our Sun family will produce a learned literati in the future. Sun Ce shook his head and said.
The older generation of people love to listen to the things of their grandchildren, and the old lady is very happy to hear Sun Ce say that Sun Shao may not become a literati in the future. Since Sun Jian, the Sun family has always used martial arts to seek a future, but as for academic matters, it is much worse. Sun Ce and Sun Quan's generation has no hope, if you want to see it, you have to look at Sun Shao's generation.
"Mother, you don't have to worry about Shao'er's martial arts being wasted, although the child doesn't have time to teach Shao'er in person, but he is the companion of today's eldest prince, and the famous teachers Tong Yuan and Wang Yue will also guide him when teaching the eldest prince." Seeing that the old lady liked to listen to her grandson's affairs, Sun Ce specially picked up interesting facts about her son and told Wu Guotai, which made the old lady laugh from ear to ear.
Sun Shangxiang, who was hiding outside the door and eavesdropping, was already relieved, thinking that his brother had diverted the topic, and his mother would not mention his marriage again. I didn't want Wu Guotai's voice to come from inside the house again, "Bo Fu, what do you think of the saint's behavior today?" Maybe a good match for Shang Xiang? ”
"Knock~" didn't hear Sun Ce's answer, Sun Shangxiang outside the door slammed his head on the door because he was surprised, making a muffled sound.
"Who's out there?" Sun Ce jumped over with an arrow, but only saw a panicked back. But even if he only saw a back, Sun Ce recognized it as his sister Sun Shangxiang.
"Mother, it's Shang Xiang." Sun Ce returned to the house and reported to Wu Guotai with tears and laughter.
"This kid ......" Wu Guotai was also a little speechless. Since he was overheard, it was better to ask in person, so he told Sun Ce to find Sun Shangxiang, not wanting Sun Ce to go out to look for a circle, and come back to report that Sun Shangxiang could not be found. Wu Guotai and Sun Ce thought that Sun Shangxiang was hiding because she was shy, but they didn't know that Sun Shangxiang had run out of the courtyard in order to avoid being questioned by her mother, and even worse, she was lost.
can get lost in his own home, Sun Shangxiang is really a wonder. However, this can't be completely blamed on Sun Shangxiang, she ran away from home before Sun Quan built the current mansion, and the Sun family she is really familiar with is actually in Wu County, not the Moling in front of her.
Sun Shangxiang, who was like a headless fly, wandered around the house, hoping to find his way back. It's not good for her to ask people casually, so as not to let people see the flaws. But Sun's mansion is too big, Sun Shangxiang walked around the mansion for a long time, not only did he not find the small courtyard that he returned to, but he couldn't even find the place where he stayed at the beginning.
In order to avoid the patrolling guards in the house, Sun Shangxiang hid in a nearby courtyard in a daze. She wanted to wait until it was dark before "kidnapping" a passer-by to ask for the path, but she didn't want to be discovered not long after entering the small courtyard. At this time, Sun Shangxiang was wearing the clothes of a maid, and in order to hide people's eyes, she was still the kind of maid who was responsible for chores.
People are divided into three, six, nine, and so on, and the flesh is divided into three layers, no matter where it is, there is such a thing as a grade, even if it is a maid, there is a distinction between superior and inferior. Sun Shangxiang is a miscellaneous maid, naturally no one will know, and I found that Sun Shangxiang's maid was not polite to Sun Shangxiang, and she didn't even bother to ask Sun Shangxiang's name, so she directly ordered: "Why did you come here, why don't you go to the fire quickly, if you delay the lady's bath, you will suffer." ”
When has Sun Shangxiang been so arrogant since he was a child, even if he went to Chang'an to send people under the fence, he has never been so unkind when he sees himself today. But now she was supported by a small maid, Sun Shangxiang's mood was a little uncomfortable, but at this time, she couldn't be willful, so she could only lower her eyebrows and reply: "Yes, the little maid will go and prepare." ”
"Come back! Where to go? The kitchen is over there. The maid stopped Sun Shangxiang, who wanted to leave, and said.
"Yes, the little maid is wrong." Sun Shangxiang hurriedly answered and walked in the direction of the maid's finger.
Sun Shangxiang has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and the strength she has exercised is not comparable to that of a weak woman who has no power to restrain a chicken, and her outfit at this time also conforms to the image of a fire girl, so that no one doubts Sun Shangxiang's identity. As for being recognized by the people in the kitchen, since Sun Shangxiang was assigned by the maid in charge of the courtyard, everyone here thought that Sun Shangxiang was newly transferred, and no one came to inquire suspiciously.
Squatting in front of the stove and boiling water, Sun Shangxiang wondered how to find a chance to slip away. While waiting for the water to boil, Sun Shangxiang had already asked others to know that the small courtyard where he was now was Mrs. Xu's courtyard. But until the water boiled, Sun Shangxiang hadn't come up with an idea, she wanted to slip away while people were unprepared, but she didn't want to wait for her to take action, and the maid who had just sent her here to boil water came over with a few people.
"You, that's you, come and help carry the water." The maid pointed to Sun Shangxiang and replied affirmatively.
According to Sun Shangxiang's temper, dare to support her to bow her waist? Tired of living? Of course, this is just thinking about it, in order to avoid revealing her identity, Sun Shangxiang could only swallow her anger and accompany the others to carry the boiled hot water to Mrs. Xu's bedroom.
In ancient times, bathing was a troublesome thing, there was neither solar energy nor public baths, and if you wanted to take a bath, you had to boil your own water. Powerful people can order people to boil water, like Mrs. Xu. Sun Shangxiang and everyone poured boiling water into the bathtub and retreated, but the maid who had just supported Sun Shangxiang stayed behind to be in charge of serving.
But Sun Shangxiang didn't take this opportunity to slip away, she couldn't be angry, she was so dignified that she actually asked a subordinate envoy to go around, and she was unwilling to go back without revenge. It's not necessary to kill people, Sun Shangxiang has never killed anyone, don't look at her dancing with knives and guns all day long, but no one has ever been killed, but she has done a lot of things to beat people.
While the other maids were busy whispering and no one was paying attention, Sun Shangxiang turned around and returned to Mrs. Xu's boudoir. She didn't plan to take the opportunity to teach the Xu family a lesson, she just wanted to do a prank of pretending to be a flower thief. Hiding lightly in front of the window outside the house, Sun Shangxiang stretched out a finger to poke through the window paper to create a peep at the scene, but he poked a hole and felt that it was not very convenient to peek, so he poked another hole.
When two holes were poked in the window paper, Sun Shangxiang was just about to speak in a thick voice to ask Mrs. Xu, who was bathing in the house, how the water temperature was, when he suddenly heard a strange moan from the room......
Sun Shangxiang has never seen such a scene in front of her when she is so big, and her desire for knowledge suddenly rises, and she lies in front of the window to observe carefully, but due to too much movement, the window was pushed open by her.
"Who? Ah~" The cold wind blowing in from the window made Xu's brain excited, and when he saw a figure in front of the window, Xu couldn't help but scream.
I didn't see clearly who was peeping outside the window, and I didn't know if it was a man or a woman, but Xu, who had a ghost in his heart, would never allow this "lewd thief" to live to see the sun tomorrow morning tonight. A nationwide manhunt was launched.
