Chapter 35: Achieving Proportions (3)

When Sun Quan saw Sun Ce, he hurriedly bowed, and Da Qiao could only swallow the question on his lips. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu haven't seen Sun Quan for a few days, so what they want to say is naturally the amount of car buckets. After everyone chatted and had a good time, Zhou Yu took Xiao Qiao back to the house, and Sun Ce helped Da Qiao back to the room to rest.

The wind and snow are heavy, the corridor is long, Da Qiao walks very slowly, and Sun Ce is afraid of her

caught a cold, picked her up, provoked Da Qiao to exclaim, two sentences of filth and disgust, as cute as a coquette.

After the two entered the room, Sun Ce put Da Qiao on the couch and untied her cloak. We're all here just now, and seeing that you've been talking about Sha Xian, it's hard for me to intervene...... Your brothers talk to each other, so you have time to ask him. ”

"Something?" Sun Ce also untied his cloak and sat in front of the charcoal basin to keep warm, "A while ago, he spent too much money and was lavish, so I wrote a few words and asked, wouldn't it be because of this?" ”

"I don't look like it, it looks like it's because of the step girl."

Sun Cejun frowned, as if he wanted to play something, and after appeasing Da Qiao to rest, he went to the side hall in the snow to find Sun Quan.

The two brothers were chatting while cooking green plum wine, only to hear Sun Ce ask: "Just now your sister-in-law said that you have something on your mind, and I haven't paid attention to it, but what's going on at home?" ”

Sun Quan wanted to speak and stopped, scratched his head and said: "Let my brother and sister-in-law worry, it's Zhongmou's and not ......"

"You are also a cheerful person, why do you still grind and chirp when you say something, like a big girl, and people still chase after you? What the hell is going on, let's talk about it. ”

Sun Quan replied with a sigh: "This matter has nothing to do with military affairs, but it is really important...... Brother, before the little master returned to the ancestral house to guard the soul of his mother, we have always had correspondence, but since Yuan Shu became the emperor and caused disaster to the south of the Yangtze River, we have cut off contact. I rode my horse to find her countless times, and I asked people to ask her around, but I couldn't find her......"

Yuan Shu called the emperor, arrogant and lascivious and robbed the people, and fought in all directions, so that the epidemic was rampant, and the people were not able to make a living, only Huainan County, the population dropped by hundreds of thousands, God knows if the weak little girl of the foot trainer would have died in the war. Seeing the surging emotions in Sun Quan's eyes, Sun Ce couldn't bear to say directly, and only said: "After beating Shaxian, I plan to order the counties to guard and register the list of the people, so as to facilitate farming in the spring of the next year...... However, when it comes to your marriage, there is one more thing to discuss with you for your brother: Yuan Shu is dead, and the previous engagement between you and his little daughter is just an expedient measure, and it should be a matter of course. But she is a girl's family, the family has lost power and has no support, if she loses the marriage contract again, I am afraid that it will be difficult to survive in this troubled world. A few days ago, when my sister-in-law was about to leave the cabinet, she came to give a congratulatory gift, and I also met her, and she looked like a well-informed girl, different from her father. What's even more difficult is that she saw you once when she was a child, and her heart has been dark for many years, and it's not good for her to blindly promise her to others as a brother. ”

Sun Quan was full of memories of the step trainer, and then he remembered that there was also this one who was engaged. Sun Ce captured Wancheng, collected the army and relatives and children of Yuan Shu, publicly accepted Da Qiao, and promised Xiao Qiao to Zhou Yu. If he openly refused to marry Yuan Shu's daughter, his brother's previous appeasement would be in vain, but Sun Quan was really resistant in his heart, and only said: "Dare to ask where my brother placed her?" I...... Let's go see her. ”

Now that the strategy of attacking Shaxian has been decided, the day of sending troops is just around the corner. It was the fourth watch of the night, Xiao Qiao woke up in a daze, only to see the faint light of the fire in the room, and Zhou Yu was still sitting in front of the wooden desk reading a book.

Xiao Qiao turned around, got up from the couch lightly, made a cup of cassia tea, and brought it to the desk. Only then did Zhou Yu come back to his senses, so he pulled Xiao Qiao to sit beside him: "Is the fire too bright and disturbing your rest?" ”

Xiao Qiao shook his head, leaned on Zhou Yu's shoulder like a kitten, and said softly: "Didn't you just say that you also stopped?" Why do you get up and read again? ”

Zhou Yu stretched out his hand to hug it, and Xiao Qiao's thin body slid into his arms, his pointed chin rested on the back of her head, pointing to the scroll in his hand and said: "Leading troops to fight is not only by force and fire, but also by the right time and place, since we are going to Shaxian, how can I not carefully study the hydrological customs there?" ”

Xiao Qiao looked closely, only to see that the customs recorded on the test paper were all the customs of the land of Jingchu, and he suddenly felt interesting, but he also read a few pages, who knew that before he could enjoy it, Zhou Yu closed the scroll: "The light is too dark, don't look at it, hurt your eyes carefully." ”

Xiao Qiao half-turned around, angry and funny: "I talk about you on weekdays, you always say that you are not dark, why don't you allow me to come?" ”

Zhou Yu didn't answer, but leaned over and kissed Xiao Qiao's lips lightly. Xiao Qiao knew that he was cheating, but he was also willing to do it, and smiled, but there was a parting sorrow in his eyes: "In two days, I will go back to Gusu with my sister......"

Zhou Yu seemed to have a lot to say, but when it came to his mouth, there was only one sentence left: "Wait for me obediently, when the battle is over, I will go to Gusu to pick you up, and we will go to Baqiu together, and we will never be separated in the future." ”

"Okay", Xiao Qiao agreed very well-behaved, and asked shyly, "Zhou Lang, you said that we are always ...... Will I, will I already be happy? Do you like small children? ”

Zhou Yu thought for a moment, held Xiao Qiao's little hand, looked at her clear eyes, and replied: "A man of my age, how can anyone have no children and no daughters, and it is naturally false to say that he doesn't want his own children." What's more, it's with your child, I'm naturally looking forward to it, but Wan'er, I don't want you to be pregnant......"

Since he is looking forward to it, why does Zhou Yu say he doesn't want it? Xiao Qiao seemed puzzled, her eyes were full of confusion, and she locked her husband in front of her. Zhou Yu smiled and explained word by word: "You are still young, many things are ignorant, if I am not there, you will be afraid...... However, Wan'er, if you really have a body, don't hide it, and send someone to the front line to tell me that for you, I will do my best to break the enemy and return as soon as possible. ”

Obviously it is almost the coldest winter of the year, but Xiao Qiao's heart is as warm as three springs, she raised her slender jade arm and wrapped it around Zhou Yu's neck, and her thin sleeves like cicada wings swayed lightly in the wind: "Okay...... If there is anything, I will definitely send a message to tell you, if not, I will wait obediently, and wait for you to go back to Gusu to pick me up, and we will never be separated again......"
