Chapter 231: Little Overlord
Sixteen-year-old flower season girl, it is the time when she is full of illusions about the future, although Sun Shangxiang has lost her father since she was a child, she has not suffered much in the past 16 years. She has a strong brother who holds up a world for her to grow up carefree. So when Da Qiao reminded Sun Shangxiang with his own personal experience, Sun Shangxiang was most interested in the fact that this sister-in-law turned out to be snatched by her brother, not that Da Qiao hoped that she could understand that it was not easy for a woman to survive in this world.
Cast pearls before swine! Big Joe left disappointed. After Sun Shangxiang sent Da Qiao away, her originally smiling face couldn't help but sink, of course she heard the meaning of her sister-in-law's words, but she really didn't want to treat her life's events as a transaction. The "Prince Charming" in Sun Shangxiang's mind is similar to most girls of the same age, so he naturally has some resistance to arranged marriages.
Unlike Da Qiao's submissive and weak nature, Sun Shangxiang is more independent. To say that it is not good, it is capricious, but after all, she is a yellow-haired girl who is not deeply involved in the world, and it is easier to deceive. Eat a trench and grow wise, she has never suffered any losses since she was a child, so naturally she doesn't know what it means to be afraid.
Sun Shangxiang is still thinking about his own freedom of marriage, and Sun Quan of Jiangdong is also having a headache about Sun Shangxiang's affairs at this time. The imperial court has already released the wind, saying that Sun Quan Xianmei intends to marry the imperial court, which is very different from the previous statement that Sun Quan ordered people to send people to abduct Sun Shangxiang.
Because of the marriage, Jing Nan and Jiangdong brothers got along for a few days, but as soon as the news of the imperial court was released, Liu Bei of Jingnan immediately reacted, and Liu Bei even sent someone to question Sun Quan's intentions in doing this. Seeing that the honeymoon period of the two families was about to be interrupted in a few days, Sun Quan naturally had to explain patiently, as for whether Liu Bei believed it or not, only God knows.
Gu Yong, who had previously served as Jiangdong's envoy, had not yet returned to Jiangdong when he received an order from Sun Quan, asking him to do everything possible to bring Sun Shangxiang back to Jiangdong. But Gu Yongzhen didn't want to go to Chang'an again, at least in the short term. Because Hebei put a place before leaving, Gu Yong and Zhuge Liang lived like rats crossing the street during this time in Chang'an, but fortunately, Liu Xie did not embarrass them, and released them not long after Sun Shangxiang arrived in Chang'an.
Gu Yong is different from other courtiers in Jiangdong, for Sun Quan's order, Gu Yong falsely claimed that he was sick and wanted to return to Jiangdong to recuperate, so he asked Sun Quan to send another virtuous minister. But who can Sun Quan send? Those who have the courage to go are not capable, and Sun Quan, who is capable, is not at ease. Sun Ce is not dead, Sun Quan engaged in a "White Terror" in Jiangdong some time ago, and old ministers like Zhang Zhao and Zhuge Jin, who originally served Sun Ce, were all carrying their tails during this time. At this time, they were sent to Chang'an, and Sun Quan was really afraid that they would never return.
After thinking about it, Sun Quan sent Zhu Zhi to Chang'an to replace Gu Yong to ask for someone. The Zhu family represented by Zhu Zhi is also a veteran family in Jiangdong, and unlike Gu Yong, Zhu Zhida was optimistic about Sun Ce from the beginning. However, Zhu Zhi's family concept is very important, and after finding that helping Sun Ce could not help the Zhu family, he switched to Sun Quan.
Zhu Zhi left Jiangdong and traveled west to Chang'an. But how easy is it to persuade Sun Shangxiang to go back? He now works for Sun Quan, while Sun Shangxiang lives in the house of Zhou Yu, who is already considered a traitor by Jiangdong. At the same time, Zhou Yu's family also lived in Jiangdong's old lord Sun Ce and his family.
The question of how to come to the door alone made Zhu Zhi feel a little headache. In order to successfully complete the task, Zhu Zhi was whimsical and pushed the issue of important people to the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court would come forward and force Zhou Yu to hand over people. But the question is how could Liu Xie let Zhu Zhi get his wish. Even if he is not interested in Sun Shangxiang, he can't just let him go.
Kicking the ball, Liu Xie was not in a hurry anyway, so he consumed it with Zhu Zhi. And Zhu Zhi has no other way, if he changes to another place, Zhu Zhi still dares to take the risk of robbing people, but this is Chang'an, the center of the Han Dynasty, you dare to try it casually. Not long ago, there was a case of failed abduction and murder, and the officials in Chang'an were all vigilant during this time.
If you can't do it, you can only move your mouth, Zhu Zhi plays the role of the bitter master, and he talks bad things about Liu Xie all day long, saying that Liu Xie robbed the people's daughters, and robbed them without making arrangements, so what is the reason for being idle? And Liu Xie couldn't say that he didn't plan to marry Sun Shangxiang, so this dumb loss could only be eaten.
If you don't marry, you will be released, and the problem is in front of Liu Xie. It's hateful that Sun Ce is unconscious now, if he wakes up and says not to let Sun Shangxiang go, then this reason is on Liu Xie's side. But the problem is that Sun Ce just doesn't wake up, and his wife and children are conscious when they come to his side, but it's not enough to be conscious, you have to be able to speak.
Some Liu Xie, who wanted to block Zhu Zhi's broken mouth, took Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing to Sun Ce's sickbed again. As with the results of the previous consultations, Sun Ce's body is improving day by day, but there is no sign of awakening.
"Generally speaking, unconscious people usually wake up easily when they are strongly stimulated, shall we try it?" Liu Xie looked at Sun Ce, who had his eyes closed, and proposed to Hua Tuo.
"Oh? And this statement? It's worth a try. Hua Tuo immediately agreed with interest when he heard this. Whether it is Hua Tuo or Zhang Zhongjing, the obsession with medical research has reached the point of going crazy. Anyway, it's not them who will be stimulated, and of course they won't object.
And Zhou Yu also hopes that Sun Ce can wake up as soon as possible. What happened in Jiangdong during this time had made Zhou Yu die of returning to Jiangdong. Sun Quan's purge has completely destroyed the foundation that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu worked so hard to lay. Even if the two brothers can return to Jiangdong at this time, it will be to go back and send their heads. Sun Quan, who was in power, would not allow the two of them to return to Jiangdong alive.
Zhou Yu, who has worked hard for more than ten years, is so occupied, Zhou Yu is naturally unwilling, but what worries him the most is whether Sun Ce can accept this reality after waking up. As Sun Ce's confidant, Zhou Yu knows more about Sun Ce's temperament than anyone else. was sent by his own brother to plot from behind, this blow Zhou Yu asked himself, I'm afraid he can't accept it.
That is, hoping that Sun Ce would wake up, but also afraid that Sun Ce would wake up and not be able to accept the blow of reality, Zhou Yu stood aside so contradictory and watched Liu Xie let people scratch Sun Ce's soles.
"What do you do?" Sun Shangxiang rushed over angrily to stop and questioned.
"Don't get in the way, we're trying to figure out how to wake up your brother." Seeing this, Liu Xie explained.
"So I can wake up my brother?" Sun Shangxiang didn't believe it, and stopped people from getting close to Sun Ce.
"This is just the beginning, you have to take it step by step, if the needle prick doesn't work, then you have to trouble your sister-in-law to help." Liu Xie frowned and said.
"How can my sister-in-law help?"
"Children don't ask about this, go, play while playing, don't get in the way here."
"I don't, you are not allowed to abuse my brother." Sun Shangxiang shouted stubbornly.
"Bad? If you can't speak, don't say it, what is bad practice? Get out of the way! A black line appeared on Liu Xie's forehead, and the word "bad practice" seems to be used to describe how men treat women, and it is easy to misunderstand people here.
"I don't!"
Due to Sun Shangxiang's blocking, the plan to stimulate Sun Ce to wake up through acupuncture had to be abandoned halfway, and the rest depended on Da Qiao, who was all from the past, and Liu Xie didn't have to say it too bluntly. Although Da Qiao doesn't know whether what Liu Xie said is true or false, the psychology of the patient's family, as long as there is a little possibility, it is worth trying.
Sun Shangxiang was still a little uneasy when she was driven back to her small courtyard, in order to avoid this girl's bad things, Zhou Yu simply locked her in the house and sent someone to guard the door.
"Shang Xiang, don't worry about Gong Jin, he is for your good." Xiao Qiao was a little unbearable when he saw it, and took advantage of the time to deliver the meal to persuade Sun Shangxiang to say.
"Sister Xiaoqiao, I don't understand, what can my sister-in-law help if I want my brother to wake up? Can't I? Sun Shangxiang asked unconvinced while eating.
"Bah~ Shameless little girl, dare to say anything. No one can help you with this favor except your sister-in-law. ”
"Why?"
“…… Your sister-in-law wants to do a Zhou Gong ceremony with your brother, how can you help? Xiao Qiao saw that Sun Shangxiang was digging into the roots, so he simply made his words clear. Sun Shangxiang has a certain understanding of the affairs between husband and wife, and Sun Quan intended to use her marriage with Jingnan to send his wife Xie Shi to popularize some relevant knowledge for her.
Sun Shangxiang couldn't figure it out at first, but Xiao Qiao said it so clearly, she immediately understood. I felt hot on my face, this favor, except for my sister-in-law, no one else really can't help.
"Yo? The little girl also knows how to be shy. Xiao Qiao saw that Sun Shangxiang buried his whole little face in the bowl, and couldn't help but joke.
"Sister Xiao Qiao, since this is the case, why didn't anyone tell me earlier?" Sun Shangxiang blushed and complained about Xiao Qiaodao.
"How do you tell you? Are those big men embarrassed to talk to you little girl about these things? Xiao Qiao glanced at Sun Shangxiang and said.
“…… It's all to blame on that faint king! Sun Shangxiang was depressed for a long time, and suddenly a sentence came out, which frightened Xiao Qiao's face slightly, and scolded urgently: "Shut up!" No nonsense! ”
"Sister Xiao Qiao, it was meant to be, if he hadn't come, how could I have lost such a big person." Sun Shangxiang said unconvinced.
“…… He didn't come because of you. Your second brother wants to get you back to find another buyer, and he doesn't have a valid reason to keep you. Only when your brother is awake, even if he is unable to move, as long as he can speak, he can directly refuse your second brother's request. Xiao Qiao glanced at Sun Shangxiang and explained.
“…… He can marry me as a brother and sister. ”
"You are so beautiful, he is the son of the Han Dynasty, and now the prosperity of the Han Dynasty is in sight, and it is certain that he will leave a name in history. What can you do? Worship him as a brother and sister? Don't say this outside, it will make people laugh. ”
“…… Is it only when my brother wakes up that I don't have to go back to Jiangdong? ”
"I'm afraid yes, otherwise Jiangdong is also your brother after all. The eldest brother is the father, and now that your eldest brother is unconscious, your marriage will naturally have to listen to your second brother. If the Holy One forces you to stay, it will be hard to say. Xiao Qiao didn't have a good impression of Sun Quan, so he was naturally not polite when he spoke. It's right to think about it, saying that her husband is a traitor and ruined the career that her husband has been fighting for more than ten years, if you are still angry, you are sick.
“…… I wish my brother would wake up. ”
“…… Shang Xiang, you don't want to go and see it, do you? Seeing that Sun Shangxiang's eyes were a little fluttering, Xiao Qiao couldn't help but ask worriedly. This Sun Shangxiang is bold, she dares to do such deviant things as escaping marriage, and there is probably nothing in this world that she does not dare to do.
"Sister Qiao, what are you talking about? How could I be so shameless. Sun Shangxiang complained loudly. But Xiao Qiao felt that Sun Shangxiang was said by herself, so she deliberately said it loudly.
"Shang Xiang, since you still know the word shame, then don't think too much about it, rest in peace early. Whether your brother will wake up or not, tomorrow will see. ”
Sun Shangxiang had insomnia...... Since ancient times, which girl has not conceived spring, Sun Shangxiang is not ignorant, after all, she has experienced a period of premarital education and understands the affairs of husband and wife. In ancient times, the education in this area was described in four words as simple and rude, because of the shame of speaking, many people generally used the Spring Palace album to speak, so that the educated can understand themselves.
If Xiao Qiao didn't say it so bluntly, Sun Shangxiang wouldn't have thought about it in any way, but Xiao Qiao put it bluntly, and the contents of the Spring Palace picture album that he had read when he was educated before flashed in Sun Shangxiang's mind. Sun Shangxiang lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep over and over again, until the sky was slightly bright, so she simply didn't sleep, and turned over to see how her sister-in-law worked hard last night to see how the effect of her sister-in-law's hard work last night was.
As soon as he went out, Sun Shangxiang was stopped, and it was just dawn at this time, and Zhou Yu and his wife didn't wake up, not to mention Sun Ce and his wife, who were tired all night last night. Sun Shangxiang, an idler, wanted to go to see his brother, but someone stopped him from going. Sun Shangxiang didn't want to make a fuss at this time, so she had to go back to the house and wait patiently, until Zhou Yu and his wife got up, and then dragged the two to the small courtyard where Sun Ce and his wife lived.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the small courtyard, I saw Da Qiao walking out with a ruddy face. When Sun Shangxiang saw it, he immediately greeted him and said, "Sister-in-law has worked hard. ”
There is nothing wrong with that, but it is not the right time. Da Qiao's face turned red when he heard this, and he lowered his head and ignored Sun Shangxiang. Xiao Qiao behind Sun Shangxiang also felt a little funny, but he was worried that his smile would make his sister unable to get off the stage, so he had to forcibly step forward and look up and pat the back of Sun Shangxiang's head, and asked Da Qiao: "Sister, how is my brother-in-law?" ”
Hearing his sister ask about this, Da Qiao couldn't help but look up and said happily: "I woke up, I said I was a little hungry, and I was about to go to the kitchen to cook some porridge." ”
This is really great news, Zhou Yu immediately rushed into the room with an arrow step when he heard this, and saw Sun Ce lying on the bed, looking sideways at himself.
"Bo Fu ......" Zhou Yu was a little excited, not knowing what to say. And Sun Ce's lips moved slightly at this time, not knowing what he wanted to say.
Zhou Yu stepped forward in two steps and grabbed Sun Ce's right hand, and said warmly: "Bo Fu, you can be regarded as awake." ”
“…… Gong Jin, I've worked hard for you this time. Sun Ce held Zhou Yu's hand with his backhand and said emotionally.
"It's not hard, it's not hard, it's worth it when you wake up." Zhou Yu said repeatedly.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu have been friends for many years, and that friendship can be said to be a friendship of cutting off the head and changing the neck. Although they are not the same mothers, they have already outperformed those brothers.
Sun Ce had just woken up and his body was weak, Zhou Yu instructed the kitchen to prepare lighter food, and at the same time selectively told Sun Ce what had happened during this time. Fortunately, Sun Ce's injuries have healed during this time, but his body is relatively weak, but there is no consequence of the wound bursting because of what Zhou Yu said. But even so, it also hit Sun Ce hard.
Since he broke away from Yuan Shu, Sun Ce has worked hard for the prosperity of the Sun family for fourteen years, during which he has shed blood and sweat, and he has been in danger several times. It can be said that Jiangdong was beaten down by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu little by little, but now it was snatched away, and it was snatched away by his own brother, this blow made Sun Ce a little unacceptable.
"Bo Fu ......" Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce worriedly, lest he couldn't think about it for a while.
"......" Sun Ce took a deep breath and said slowly: "Gongjin, don't worry about me, I'm fine." ”
Although Sun Ce said that it was okay, Zhou Yu didn't dare to rest assured, and still looked at Sun Ce worriedly and asked, "Bo Fu, what are your plans for the future?" ”
“…… Koto, we can't go back, can we? Sun Ce was silent for a long time and asked leisurely.
“…… can't go back, Zhang Zhaozhishi, Zhuge Jin is idle, He Qi Mingsheng secretly descended, Gao Zhong died crossing the river with Shao'er for Mrs. Baoqiao, and the cronies we cultivated in the army were also purged in large numbers, and the current Jiangdong is already Sun Zhongmou's world. ”
"Ha~ You said that why did I make lard blind to my heart at the beginning, and I didn't see Zhongmou's ambitions." Sun Ce laughed self-deprecatingly.
"Bo Fu, why blame yourself, it's not just you, I haven't relaxed my vigilance against him."
"No, I don't blame you for this, I only blame me for not knowing people and raising tigers."
"Bo Fu, don't say it again, think about you and me in the future." Zhou Yu was afraid that Sun Ce would become more and more sad the more he thought about it, so he hurriedly changed the topic.
“…… Gong Jin, what do you think of the saint today? Actually, after I woke up last night, Joel told me something about what happened during this time. Speaking of conscience, I am very grateful to him, if he didn't send someone to save me, I would be separated from Qiao'er and Shao'er forever. Hearing this, Sun Ce glanced at Zhou Yu and nodded slightly.
“…… Living in the same era as the Holy One today is sad for you and me, but it also gives you and me a glimmer of hope. There is no chance to realize this dream in the world, but it can still be done by striving for a wealth for future generations. ”
Hearing Zhou Yu mention future generations, Sun Ce couldn't help but have some spirit, Jiangdong's foundation had little to do with him Sun Ce. Now that his wife and children are by his side, he Sun Ce really has to work hard for his children's future. At present, Sun Ce is only three out of thirty, whether it is personal force or experience in leading troops, he is enough to take on one side. It's just that the Liu Association won't use him with confidence, and Sun Ce is still a little worried, which is why Sun Ce asked Zhou Yu what he thinks of the current Son of Heaven.
"Bo Fu, do you know the Marquis of Lu Bu and Lu Wen?" Zhou Yu did not directly answer Sun Ce's question, but mentioned a person to Sun Ce.
