Chapter 697 - Vertical and Horizontal (II)

Changgan Palace is the residence of Sun Quan's mother, Mrs. Wu, and it is also the most beautiful mansion in the entire Jianye City, Mrs. Wu has been in poor health for the past two years, and was dying of illness last year, and finally survived, but she is also extremely weak, most of the time is spent in the Buddhist hall, and she has ignored the affairs of the outside world.

But the arrival of her daughter and son-in-law made her very pleased, and early in the morning she ordered the maid and the servant to clean the palace and prepare the room, of course she thought that her daughter and son-in-law should live with her, and when her daughter arrived, she wept with joy and hugged her daughter for a long time, and the mother and daughter talked about the daily routine for nearly an hour.

"I'm most worried about your heirs, I told you last time to conceive a child as soon as possible, and show it to me next time you come, but you still come alone."

Mrs. Wu is most worried about her daughter's childlessness, she has some complaints in her tone, and counts down her daughter, "If it is your husband's problem, but people can give birth to Tao, I guess it is your own problem, don't take such an important matter to heart, and be very arrogant all day long, and it is the same as before, you!" What can understand that a child is a continuation of a woman's life. ”

Sun Shangxiang was counted down by her mother, and she was not angry, she pulled her mother and said coquettishly: "Mother, don't say it again, I promise that next time I come, I will definitely hold a white fat boy to show you." ”

"Hey! And said next time, how long will you worry about me, by the way, have you asked a doctor to take medicine, I heard that Zhang Ji is very experienced in this area, have you asked him to see? ”

"I asked him to see it, and he said that there was no problem with his daughter, the water came naturally, and he also took medicine."

"Nonsense! Where's your medicine? Show me, you've been afraid of taking medicine since you were a child, it must be something that you didn't take seriously, and you left the medicine aside, didn't you? ”

Sun Shangxiang only felt that her head was big for a while, she wanted to see her mother, but every time she saw her mother, she was afraid that she would say about the child, and she would not forgive herself, she had to ask for help as if looking at her sister-in-law, Da Qiao sat aside, pursed her lips and smiled secretly, she had a very good relationship with Sun Shangxiang, and when she saw her sister-in-law asking for help from herself, she smiled at Mrs. Wu and said: "Mother, just remind your uncle when you eat later, I think it is more effective to say a word to my uncle than to say 10,000 words to Shangxiang." ”

A sentence immediately reminded Mrs. Wu, "Hmm! You said yes, tell my son-in-law. ”

Sun Shangxiang's mind is actually very delicate, she was afraid that her mother would say something embarrassing to her husband, so she hurriedly gave her sister-in-law a look, Da Qiao understood, and said with a smile: "Mother, you can't say it directly, after all, my uncle is a hero, I have to give my uncle face, so leave this matter to me!" I'll arrange it. ”

Old Madam Wu is a sensible person, she knows how to be measured, she nodded, and gently tapped her daughter again, "See, your sister-in-law is so capable, if you are as confused as you, I have to be angry with you, a dead girl." ”

Sun Shangxiang stuck out her tongue and winked gratefully at her sister-in-law, and at this time, a maid said at the door: "Old lady, the time for the wine feast has arrived, and Wu Hou and his aunt are here, in the lobby." Old Madam Wu nodded and smiled: "Don't let my son-in-law wait for a long time, let's go!" ”

Sun Shangxiang hurriedly picked up her mother and walked to the front lobby with her sister-in-law

The lights in the lobby are brilliant, the wine feast has been arranged, a row of tables is placed on both sides, there are soft seats, and there are waiting-waiting maids standing behind, although it is a family banquet, but the utensils and dishes are not ambiguous at all, the golden cup and jade cup, the silver pot and jade liquid, the dishes are also light, but they are all extremely jΔ«ng, which makes people unbearable.

At this time, Liu Jing and Sun Quan had already come, as well as Sun Quan's several wives, daughters, and sons, as well as Sun Ce's children, Sun Yi and Sun Kuang's wives and children, as well as Qiao Guolao and Lu Fan, who were matchmakers, were also invited, and sat at a table with Sima Yi.

Liu Jing saw Xiao Qiao for the first time, seeing that although she was pretty, she was obviously a little haggard, and it could be seen that after Zhou Yu's death, she was not doing well, Liu Jing arched his hand to Xiao Qiao and said: "Liu Jing and Gong Jin are close friends, Gong Jin died early, and Liu Jing is also grieving, but today Liu Jing came in a hurry, and it was too late to mourn Gong Jin. ”

Xiao Qiao's expression was gloomy, and he hurriedly got up and saluted, "Thank you Liu Zhoumu for caring about her husband, Xiao Qiao is grateful!" ”

She ordered her son to kowtow to Liu Jing again, and Liu Jing nodded, "You're welcome, please sit down!" ”

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and I saw a large group of maids surrounding Mrs. Wu, as well as Sun Shangxiang and Da Qiao walking slowly, and everyone hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "See Mother!" ”

"All the children get up!"

Mrs. Wu smiled and waved her hand, at this time she saw Liu Jing, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her son-in-law, "The virtuous son-in-law came to visit the old man from thousands of miles away, which shows that he is a person of deep affection, it is really gratifying, my daughter has a husband like you, it is really her blessing, please sit down!" ”

"Thank you, Mother!"

Liu Jing got up, took out a string of rosary beads made of rosewood, and presented it to Mrs. Wu, "This is the son-in-law's intention to honor his mother-in-law, please accept it." ”

Although the things are not valuable, this heart made Mrs. Wu very moved, she took the rosary and smiled: "Thank you son-in-law, I like it very much." ”

Then she took her daughter over and told her, "Sit down with your husband and pour him wine." ”

In the midst of laughter, Sun Shangxiang blushed slightly and sat down next to her husband, she gently pinched Liu Jing, and asked in a low voice, "You have prepared a rosary, why don't you tell me?" ”

"I wanted to surprise you, but it was too hot and I forgot."

"I'll settle accounts with you at night!"

Although she said that she was settling accounts, Sun Shangxiang's eyes were full of smiles, her husband actually prepared a gift for her mother, this heart was enough to move and surprise her, she picked up the wine jug, poured a glass of wine into Liu Jing'er's cup, and said with a smile: "Mother asked me to pour you wine, then how much wine you drink tonight is up to me to decide, I have to pour you under the table." ”

"Throw me down, it's you who will be disgraced."

"Then drink half of it first, and let's close the door and continue drinking in the evening."

At this time, Da Qiao, who was sitting on the side, coughed lightly, and Sun Shangxiang realized that his mother was about to speak, and everyone was looking at them! Her pretty face turned red, glared at Liu Jing, and lowered her head.

Old Madam Wu glanced at them deeply, and then said softly to everyone: "Tonight is a family banquet, welcome Shang Xiang and my son-in-law back, everyone take it easy, although I don't advocate drinking, but today is an exception, come!" We raise our glasses and celebrate the moment of reunion tonight. ”

Mrs. Wu picked up the ear cup and smiled and signaled to Liu Jing and Sun Shangxiang, and everyone raised their glasses to welcome them back

After the banquet, a maid sent them to the bedroom that was ready to be prepared, it was a three-story small building, and it was also the most chic building in the entire Changgan Palace, close to the lake, cool breeze, exceptionally cool, when Liu Jing and Sun Shangxiang walked to the second floor, Sun Shangxiang hugged his neck, pouted and said: "I can't walk, carry me up!" ”

Liu Jing picked up the crook of her leg and hugged her horizontally, Sun Shangxiang giggled, "This is good, serve this princess well, and spare you a pot of wine tonight." ”

Liu Jing kissed her lips and said with a smile: "I'll throw you into the lake!" ”

He walked a few steps quickly, came to the window on the second floor, and made a gesture to throw him out, Sun Shangxiang screamed in fright, Liu Jing laughed, and rushed to the third floor directly with her, as soon as he entered the bedroom, both of them were stunned, only to see a circle of screens around the bed in the bedroom, the screen was full of children's frolicking pictures, Baizi YingchΕ«n pictures, all kinds of lively and lovely children were presented in front of their eyes, lifelike.

Only then did Sun Shangxiang understand that her sister-in-law was implicitly arranged, it turned out that this was what she meant, her eyes flowed, she glanced at Liu Jing, put her arms around his neck, and said in his ear: "Husband, do you understand?" ”

Liu Jing smiled bitterly, "I understand, it seems that I am going to change my surname to Niu tonight!" ”

"So do we still drink?" Sun Shangxiang smiled coquettishly.

"Plough first, then drink, drink and then plant in summer, and then sow in autumn and cultivate in winter, anyway, this time you must let your mother get her wish."

"So what are you waiting for? Big Brother Niu. ”

Liu Jing smiled, suddenly blew out the light, got into the screen, and the two fell on the bed with a smile

Early in the morning, Liu Jing finished grooming, under the escort of hundreds of cavalry, took a car to Zhou Yu's mansion, at this time Zhou Yu died for a year, the mansion has already returned to calm, heard that Liu Jing arrived, Zhou Yu's eldest son Zhou Xun hurriedly greeted out, Zhou Xun is sixteen years old, looks like his father, handsome and elegant, a talent, currently in the palace as a guard.

He heard his mother say last night that Liu Jing was going to come to worship his father today, so he specially asked for leave to wait for Liu Jing's arrival, Zhou Xun knelt down, kowtowed, and bowed, "The younger generation Zhou Xun visited the state pastor!" ”

Liu Jing hurriedly helped him up, "Virtuous nephew, please get up, I am here to worship your father today." ”

"I've heard my mother say it, please come with me."

Zhou Xun invited Liu Jing into the mansion and came to his father's ancestral hall, "The state pastor, please!" ”

Liu Jing walked into the ancestral hall and looked at the portrait of Zhou Yu on the wall, he sighed softly, knelt down in front of Zhou Yuling, and said in a low voice: "Gong Jin is above, Liu Jing came from Chengdu to worship the spirit of Gong Zai Tian, recall the passionate years of the past, sigh that Gong died early, and Jiangdong heroes are no more!" ”

Liu Jing saluted the incense, respectfully kowtowed three heads, Zhou Xun kowtowed next to him to return the salute, after the worship, Liu Jing came to the main hall, at this time, Xiao Qiao also came out to salute, she saw that Liu Jing really fulfilled the contract, her heart was moved, choked up: "The state pastor also came to worship the ancestor in his busy schedule, and the concubine is grateful." ”

"Madame is polite, Gongjin is my best friend, and I fight against Cao side by side, I only hate to be thousands of miles away, I can't see him in the future, and I come to worship the spirit today, which is also a wish of mine."

Little Joe: "Thank you for your concern!" Gong Jin also often said before his death that he admired two people the most in his life, one was Bo Fu, and the second was the state pastor, who took pity on his early death, and hoped that the state pastor would take more care of his children in the future. ”

Liu Jing nodded, "The son of Gongjin is also my descendant, and if my wife has any requirements in the future, even if she tells me, as long as Liu Jing can do it, she will never refuse." ”

Liu Jing saw that Xiao Qiao was haggard and pitiful, and couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart, and said softly: "Madame should go out for a walk, the mood will be cheerful, if Madame is willing, you might as well come to Shuzhong for a visit, and my monk Xiang will welcome Madame like a family." ”

This sentence touched Xiao Qiao's heart, her eyes were a little red, she quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and nodded, "I will definitely come!" ”

After sitting for a while, Liu Jing got up to say goodbye, Xiao Qiao and Zhou Xun kept sending him out of the mansion, looking at Liu Jing's carriage walking away, Xiao Qiao couldn't help but sigh lowly, she thought that Shang Xiang was beautiful last night, but she was much older, maybe Liu Zhoumu was right, she was going to go out and go.
