At this time, it was also snowing heavily in the thousand-year-old Gusu City, and Sun Ce hugged Qiong'er and played with Da Qiao in the court. Qiong'er was smart, she could already burst out some words intermittently, she had never seen snow, and she seemed extremely excited at this time, waving her white and tender little fist babbling, trying to hold the crystal snow flakes.

Da Qiao was worried that Qiong'er would catch a cold, so he wrapped her little hand back into swaddling clothes. Sun Ce took advantage of the situation to encircle Da Qiao in his arms, and although the two were silent, they were always warm.

A small guy hurried from the front hall, and when he saw Sun Ce and Da Qiao, they neither advanced nor retreated. Da Qiao's sharp eyes were sharp, and he asked lightly, "But what's the matter?" ”

The little guy arched his hand and muttered: "Back to the general, back to Mrs. Hui, Lord Zhang came in the wind and snow, saying that he had something important to do, and discussed with the general......"

Zhang Zhao is a serious person, if it is not for the most important matter, he will not come in the middle of the night in the snow, Sun Ce sent Da Qiao's mother and daughter back to the bedroom, and then strode over, and said to Zhang Zhao, who was waiting there: "Brother Zibu came at night, isn't it an old thief......"

"No, disturbing the lord's rest, it is Zibu who should not be, but I just went home, remembering that the day before yesterday, there was a clerk Ding Mu worried, and transported the coffin back to the ancestral hometown to keep filial piety. This was originally not a big deal, there was no need to alarm the major general, but I remembered that the clerk's surname was Bu, and it was introduced by the second prince at the beginning......"

Surname step? Sun Ce was stunned for a moment, remembering that Sun Quan's favorite girl was also surnamed Bu, and asked urgently, "Has he already resigned?" Have you ever said when to leave? ”

"I was relieved of my post yesterday, and I didn't ask when I would leave."

Sun Ce's face sank, in the past few days, because of the matter of proposing to Yuan Shu's daughter, Sun Quan has been stuffing himself in the room, just afraid that the Bu family will cause this trouble, he told the little servant in a deep voice: "Go to the backyard and call the second son." ”

After a day and a night, Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao returned to Gusu from Niuzhu. Xiao Qiao obediently nestled in Zhou Yu's arms, her little face was slightly red, and she asked in a low voice: "Go back in a while, my sister is only afraid to ask me ......"

"Although it is polite to propose to your father first, since you have returned, you should talk to Bo Fu and Madame Qiao first. It's inconvenient for your girl's house to do this kind of thing, so naturally I'll talk about it. ”

Xiao Qiao's face turned even redder, and he said, "My sister and brother-in-law are just afraid that they will be frightened, and my brother-in-law doesn't know what to say." ”

"You don't have to worry about it, I'm here both horizontally and vertically", Zhou Yu said, lifted the curtain, and saw that the carriage was already driving on the avenue in the city, he groaned and said to Xiao Qiao: "I'll go back to the house to change my clothes in a while, it's a big matter, you have to be solemn, you can go back to the general's mansion and wait for me." ”

Everything was arranged by Zhou Yu, Xiao Qiao didn't have to worry about it, and said shyly: "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”

The carriage stopped at the back door of the General's Mansion, Xiao Qiao walked down slowly, looking at the white Gusu City, her mood was unprecedentedly bright, she rode back to the room in the wind and snow, and saw Da Qiao wearing a concubine-colored fur collar cloak, standing at the door of the room in the snow. Xiao Qiao knew that her sister must be angry, so she smiled on her little face, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "This is windy and snowy, why is my sister standing here, carefully provoke the wind and cold......"

Da Qiao's little face was full of rare annoyance, and his face turned red, but he was a little cute: "I don't care about you on weekdays, but you are getting more and more promising, and a big girl's family secretly ran to the front line...... If anything is wrong with you, how can you let me explain it to my father! ”

Xiao Qiao looked pitiful, shook Da Qiao's arm, and said coquettishly: "Wan'er knows that she is wrong...... Don't dare to ...... anymore."

was shaken by Xiao Qiao like this, Da Qiao's anger shook most of it, and his tone softened a little: "You girl, you really have a big idea, you are a girl who has not left the cabinet, is it appropriate to go to Lord Zhou like this?" If it spreads, how others will look at you and how they will look at him, you ......"

"Sister, don't panic, Zhou Lang will come in a while, and he will give you an explanation", Xiao Qiao's face was red with envy, and after saying this, he jumped back into the room like a gust of wind.

Da Qiao had never seen Xiao Qiao so shy and ashamed, she thought blankly for a moment, her expression was shocked, she hurriedly walked to the kitchen, and asked softly, "Is the osmanthus cake I made steamed yet?" ”

Yesterday, Zhou Yu sent a message from Niu Zhu, saying that there was something important to discuss, and Sun Ce waited in the outer room of the wing room early in the morning.

Zhou Yu came in the dust, plain white and full of frost, and saluted Sun Ce: "Lord." ”

"Sit down", Sun Ce pushed the brazier towards Zhou Yu, made a cup of tea and handed it over, "Yuan Shu has moved something." ”

Zhou Yu took out a letter from his arms, Sun Ce took it and opened it, only to see that it was Yuan Shu's handwriting: Zheng Zhou Shang Zhou Yu into Shouchun. Sun Ce's face was extremely ugly: "This old thief, if you want to be the emperor, you can call it, why do you want to pull you into the water!" ”

"Since my father is old, I won't let him wade into this troubled water, but if the old man is not called, how can I have the opportunity to enter Shouchun City justifiably?"

Sun Ce's body stiffened and asked, "Gong Jin, what do you mean by this?" Is it ......?"

"I will go to Shouchun, but I can always pay attention to the movements of the old man, and once the situation changes, I will immediately repair the book with you. In addition, General Qiao is still in the Yuan Shu camp, and it is always inappropriate to hand him over to others, so it is more appropriate for me to pick him up in person. I've arranged everything for Niu Zhu, so you don't have to worry. ”

Such an act is really dangerous, but Sun Ce understood Zhou Yu's temperament, so he no longer persuaded him, and only instructed: "Be careful in everything." Zhou Yu nodded, a trace of warmth suddenly appeared in his cold eyes, and he lowered his eyes and muttered, "I want to...... Find someone to ask you for. ”

"Jiang Qin or Lu Meng? Zhou Tai, I have already given it to Zhongmou, and I can't give it to you again. Others, whatever you choose, as long as they are capable, I will agree. ”

At this time, Da Qiao walked into the room with osmanthus cake and rice wine, and said lightly: "Lord Zhou hasn't eaten yet, I just made some osmanthus cake, you can taste it." ”

Seeing Da Qiao, Zhou Yu settled down and bowed: "But Mrs. Qiao is also ...... To tell the truth, the person Zhou wants is Miss Xiao Qiao. Zhou...... I want to marry Miss Xiao Qiao. ”

Sun Ce hadn't swallowed a mouthful of osmanthus cake, and at this time he was choking and coughing, and Da Qiao hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him. After most of the day, Sun Ce finally took a breath and smiled: "Gongjin and sister-in-law...... I really didn't expect that. Let's ask Madame to call my sister-in-law as well. ”

On the official road to Huaiyin, Sun Quan braved the wind and snow to ride a horse, and last night he heard that the mother of the step trainer died, so he hurried to the Bufu, but the Bu family had long been gone. He turned around the door a few times in a daze, remembering that she had said that her ancestor had sealed the Marquis of Huaiyin, and it should be Fuling who had returned to Huaiyin, so he hurriedly rode the horse.

After sleepless nights and more than 100 miles, Sun Quan finally saw that in the snowstorm, at the end of the road, the foot trainer was dressed in a vegetarian body, escorting his mother's coffin with his brother. Seeing the thin figure swaying in the wind and snow, Sun Quan's heart didn't mention how painful it was, he hurried forward and called loudly: "Little Master......"

Hearing Sun Quan's voice, the step trainer turned around, and two lines of tears rolled down: "Sun Lang......"

Seeing this, the brother of the foot trainer said to the man who was driving, "Stop for a while, let them talk." ”

Sun Quan turned over and dismounted, and saw that the foot trainer's eyes were red and swollen, and he described him as haggard, and his heart was like a knife: "I'm sorry, I ...... a few days ago I don't have the face to see you, I don't know if something like this happened to your family, it's all my fault. ”

The step trainer smiled sadly, and his tears were like beads with broken threads: "It is rumored in Gusu City, you are going to be overjoyed...... General Yuan's daughter, of noble birth, is a good match for you. ”

"No", Sun Quan shook his head and said resolutely, "What is General Yuan's daughter, she is not the person I want at all." When the three-year filial piety period is over, I will pick you up. You must be my person in this life, and I will not let you go. ”

The step trainer burst into tears, biting his thin lip and saying softly: "With your words, my wish is enough." ”

In the snowstorm, the little hands of the step trainer were red from the cold, Sun Quan put her hands into his sleeves, took off the jade pendant around his neck, and put it on her: "In the past, when my mother was pregnant with her eldest brother, she dreamed of the moon in her arms, and when she was pregnant with me, she dreamed of the sun in her arms. This sun-shaped peiyu was ordered by my father when he was alive, and I have worn it for many years, and now I give it to you, so you can see it when you think of me. ”

After speaking, Sun Quan walked to the senior brother of Bulian, took out a heavy money bag and put it in his hand: "These are my eldest brother's extra gifts, you don't have to feel guilty and push back, when you finish keeping filial piety, remember to come back to help my brother...... Also, be sure to take good care of her and don't give her permission to anyone else. ”

The elder brother of the foot trainer was about to resign, but when he heard Sun Quan say so, he couldn't refuse, and said, "Thank you General Sun, thank you Second Son." ”

The hour is not early, and if you don't go on the road, I am afraid that it will be difficult to reach the accommodation before dark. Sun Quan sighed heavily, and mustered up the courage to kiss the foot trainer on the forehead: "Let's go, I'll go to see you after a while." ”

Although he was reluctant, the foot trainer still relented, turned his head and left with his brother, and disappeared in the snowstorm after a long time.

Sun Quan also turned over and got on his horse, but stood in the distance for a long time without moving, letting the flying snow wet his qiu. He understands that after three years of separation, he must also be more diligent and self-motivated, and help his brother, so that he can finally keep the people and things he wants, and never separate again.
