Chapter 1445 - Unable to Help
After the banquet, Jiang Gan and a group of Jiangdong generals returned to the barracks, and Zhou Yu also went to the school to watch the soldiers drill.
Xiao Qiao hugged Sun Zhao in his arms and went back to the inner room with Da Qiao.
After retiring the maid who was taking care of her in the inner room, there was no one in the house, and Xiao Qiao, who was holding Sun Zhao in his arms, asked Da Qiao: "Sister, how have you been living in the past two years?" ”
didn't answer Xiao Qiao, Da Qiao just sighed softly, and his face showed a touch of loneliness.
"Auntie!" Snuggled in Xiao Qiao's arms, watching Da Qiao let out a sigh, Xiao Sun Zhao raised his face and gently called Xiao Qiao.
Looking down at him, Xiao Qiao stroked his little head lovingly, and also let out a soft sigh.
"In the past, Brother Bofu conquered the south and the north, and then he had the foundation of the Jiangdong Sun family!" Staring at Xiao Sun Zhao in his arms, Xiao Qiao said softly: "I don't want Wu Hou to treat my sister and Zhao'er like this now!" ”
Little Joe sighed, but Big Joe didn't say anything.
Sun Quan gained the status of the lord of Jiangdong, and was very jealous of their mother and son, so he placed them in a separate courtyard, and even the people who went to visit had to be checked again and again.
The mother and son had a lot of monthly expenses, but the guards and the servants who took care of the two of them were deducted from them, and when they reached them, there was not much.
The low-status guards and servants also dared to bully the mother and son, although Sun Quan knew about it, he did not make any response.
At first, the guards and servants exploited Da Qiao's mother and son, and they were still very worried in their hearts, but Sun Quan did not reproach them, but made them more and more emboldened.
Life is not good, the young Sun Zhao has not eaten meat for many days.
That's why at the wine banquet, I saw such a gaffe as meat.
hugged Sun Zhao lovingly, and Xiao Qiao didn't say anything, but his face showed a sense of loneliness.
Sighing softly, Xiao Qiao just stroked Sun Zhao's hair, but in his heart it was like knocking over a five-flavor bottle, and the sweet and sour gathered in one place, which was very unpleasant.
The two sisters sat facing each other, both silent.
Although Da Qiao didn't say anything, Xiao Qiao knew that her life was not easy.
"Madame!" The two sisters were relatively speechless, and a maidservant's voice came from outside the door: "The governor of the capital invited the lady to go, saying that there is something important to discuss with the lady!" ”
After the banquet, Zhou Yu took a group of personal soldiers to the school field, but he didn't expect him to send someone to invite Xiao Qiao to go so soon, Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao were a little confused.
Glancing at each other, Da Qiao whispered to Xiao Qiao: "Since Zhou Lang is invited, the sister should go quickly!" ”
"Sister, sit wide, and I will accompany your mother and son later!" Letting go of Sun Zhao in his arms, Xiao Qiao stood up, blessed Da Qiao, turned around and left the room.
Looking at Xiao Qiao's back, Da Qiao felt a burst of pathos in his heart.
In the past, Sun Quan did not allow her to meet Xiao Qiao, which was nothing more than a fear of Zhou Yu.
Since he wanted him to come, Sun Quan must have been sure of controlling Zhou Yu.
Even if Xiao Qiao feels sorry for her sister, Zhou Yu is thoughtful, and she will definitely not do anything to disobey Sun Quan.
Leaving the room, Little Joe, guided by the maidservant, walked through the corridor and towards the room at the end.
"Grand Duke, Madame is here!" When she arrived at the door of the room, the maidservant blessed the door and reported to the house.
As soon as the maid's words fell, Zhou Yu's voice came from inside the house: "Please come in and talk!" ”
"No!" The maidservant answered, gently pushed the door open, and then stepped sideways.
This room, located in the corner of Zhou Yu's residence, is where Zhou Yu studies the art of war on weekdays, and even Xiao Qiao has never entered.
The door opened, and Joe stepped over the threshold and entered the room.
Zhou Yu turned his back to the door, his hands behind his back, and looked up at the row of books on the bookshelves in the room, as if there was something in that row of books that particularly attracted him.
"Zhou Lang!" Entering the house, Xiao Qiao blessed Zhou Yu and greeted him gently.
Hearing Xiao Qiao speak, Zhou Yu turned around, smiled at her and asked, "How about talking to the eldest lady?" ”
"Back to Zhou Lang!" Leaning over, Xiao Qiao said to Zhou Yu very respectfully: "Sister doesn't seem to have a lot to say to me, we two sisters are just sitting there and relatively speechless!" ”
"Relatively speechless......" With his hands behind his back, he turned around again, Zhou Yu looked at the books on the shelf, and said thoughtfully: "I'm afraid the eldest lady has a lot to say to you!" ”
Standing behind Zhou Yu with his hands down, Xiao Qiao did not speak. Zhou Yu continued: "Since the death of Bo Fu, the eldest lady's life has really become more and more sad day by day! ”
"Zhou Lang......" These words came out of Zhou Yu's mouth, Xiao Qiao called him gently, and the words came to his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.
"Madame, but you want to take the eldest lady here, and from now on the lady will take care of it?" Although Xiao Qiao didn't say anything, Zhou Yu took over her words.
Hanging his head, Xiao Qiao did not admit it, but he did not deny it.
Da Qiao and Sun Zhao came here, and from the relationship between the mother and son, Xiao Qiao could see that their lives were not good.
Although the two sisters rarely see each other after marrying each other, blood is thicker than water, and they are sisters after all.
Seeing that her sister is having a hard time, as a younger sister, Xiao Qiao will of course feel heartache.
What she wanted to say to Zhou Yu was exactly what Zhou Yu had already said.
Lowering his head, Xiao Qiao pursed his lips tightly, and did not give Zhou Yu any response.
didn't get a response from Xiao Qiao, and Zhou Yu didn't look back, but continued: "It's not that someone doesn't want to fulfill his wife's wishes, it's just that now Wu Hou is the lord of Jiangdong, if so, Wu Hou will definitely think that he has a heart of disobedience!" ”
Little Joe still didn't respond.
She also knows Zhou Yu's difficulties.
When Sun Ce led the army back to Jiangdong that year, and Zhou Yu went to serve, Xiao Qiao had not yet married.
By the time she married Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu had already become Sun Ce's confidant.
In order to show his closeness to Zhou Yu, Sun Ce specially proposed to Qiao Xuan for Zhou Yu and married Xiao Qiao Xu to him.
After marrying Xiao Qiao, Zhou Yu, who was merry by nature, turned out to be a suave and suave person, and only got together with her wife all day long.
Xiao Qiao was also very pleased with Zhou Yu's infatuation.
As a woman, marrying a husband is nothing more than getting more love.
Zhou Yu's love for Xiao Qiao far exceeded her expectations before she got married.
married Zhou Yu, Xiao Qiao never made an out-of-line request to him.
This time, it was because Da Qiao's mother and son came here, and from their circumstances, it was seen that their life was very bleak, and out of the feeling that blood was thicker than water, they thought of asking Zhou Yu to help their mother and son.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu had already seen what she was thinking, and took the initiative to mention the matter to her before she could speak, so that Xiao Qiao didn't know what to do for a while.
"Little Joe!" Xiao Qiao didn't say anything, Zhou Yu turned around and called her softly.
Zhou Yu called lightly, Xiao Qiao raised his head, and his watery eyes stared at him with affection.
From Xiao Qiao's eyes, Zhou Yu saw a trace of grievance and a trace of expectation.
She did not give up her plan to take Da Qiao's mother and son to her side.
"If you want to take the eldest lady's mother and son to your side, you must know that you can only bring the eldest lady, Wu Hou is still a little jealous of Zhao'er!" Walking in front of Xiao Qiao, Zhou Yu's hands were on her shoulders, his head was on her forehead, and he said to her softly: "In your opinion, the eldest lady will abandon Zhao'er and just want to live a good life for herself?" ”
When Zhou Yu asked, Xiao Qiao was stunned for a moment.
She only thought of bringing Da Qiao's mother and son here, but she didn't think that what Sun Quan was really afraid of was not Da Qiao, who was Sun Ce's wife, but Sun Ce's bloodline Sun Zhao.
Leaving Da Qiao here, Sun Zhao will inevitably return to Jiangdong, without Da Qiao's care, it is still unknown whether Sun Zhao can survive to adulthood.
Thinking of this, Xiao Qiao was completely silent.
She also knew that with Zhou Yu, it was probably impossible to leave Da Qiao to take care of her, if she wanted to stay with Sun Zhao, Sun Quan would do and think in her heart, even if she didn't use her head, she could think clearly.
Xiao Qiao still didn't say anything, Zhou Yu gently patted her fragrant shoulder, and said to her softly: "You go to accompany the eldest lady, but you only get together for more than ten days, and you should cherish it!" ”
"Hmm!" Knowing that there was no hope, Xiao Qiao responded softly and said to Zhou Yu: "The slave family will not delay the husband's important affairs, step back first, and accompany my sister!" ”
"Go ahead!" Helping Xiao Qiao, he sent her to the door, and watched her leave before Zhou Yu turned back to the house.
Leaving the room, Xiao Qiao's heart was like pressing a big stone, and he didn't feel like it was a taste.
It would not be impossible for Zhou Yu to forcibly leave Da Qiao and Sun Zhao here, but in that case, there would be a mustard between Sun Quan and Zhou Yu.
If Sun Quan summoned Zhou Yu to meet him, Zhou Yu would be harmed, and if he didn't go, Sun Quan would definitely be attacked.
was very entangled in his heart, and along the way, Xiao Qiao's eyes were a little red.
Xiao Qiao's face was extremely beautiful, and her eyes were flushed with a thin flush, which actually gave her a little more charm than usual.
With two handmaidens, all the way back to the room where Da Qiao was, Xiao Qiao just entered the house, and found that Da Qiao was no longer in the room.
"Where's the eldest lady?" didn't see Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao frowned slightly, and asked the maid who was guarding the house.
"Back to Mrs.!" owed a blessing to Xiao Qiao, and the maidservant answered: "The eldest lady feels stuffy in the house, so she took her son out!" ”
Hearing that Da Qiao went out, Xiao Qiao was stunned.
Not far from her and Zhou Yu's residence is the barracks, although the barracks are full of soldiers under Zhou Yu's command, they are all men, Da Qiao is a woman, and it is extremely inconvenient to walk in the barracks with her children.
Looking back at the outside, looking at the barracks that was not very far from the residence, Xiao Qiao sighed faintly, and instructed a maidservant: "Go and find the eldest lady, if she wants to go, ask her to walk along the river bank, as for the barracks, don't go in!" ”
