Chapter 5: A Resurgence (1)
The branches and leaves of the mulberry tree are under low pressure, the swallow grass is as green as green, the early sun gradually rises, and the warm sunlight sprinkles along the alienation of the new leaves, casting mottled light and shadow. Everything is full of natural blessings, but the three or two peonies under the feet are floating and shaking, and there is no vitality.
Xiao Qiao heard Zhou Yu's slightly disgusting advice, turned around, and rolled his eyes: "Your name is Zhou Yu?" ”
I don't know why Xiao Qiao asked this, Zhou Yu bowed slightly, and replied: "It's exactly below." ”
Xiao Qiao snorted contemptuously: "I really don't know if your reputation is a flawed Yu or a stupid fool." ”
Zhou Yu was stunned, and secretly wondered in his heart, could it be that he was discovered by Xiao Qiao when he took the opportunity to look through the strange makeup box last night? As a gentleman, Zhou Yu felt a void in his heart, and a suspicious flush appeared on Jun's face: "This ...... What do you mean by that? ”
Xiao Qiao faced Zhou Yu, and his little face was full of sarcasm: "The treatment of diseases pays attention to the medicine according to the person, and the planting of flowers pays attention to local conditions." This flower is not suitable for growing here at all, but you insist on planting it, isn't it intentionally harming it? ”
It turned out that he was too careful, Zhou Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Xiao Qiao was not as wary as before, he raised his eyebrows, calculated his heart, and stepped forward a few steps to humbly arch his hand: "Zhou is stupid, I really don't understand this." Miss Xiao Qiao is good at controlling birds and beasts, and she must have a relationship with flowers and plants, can she save these few broken flowers? ”
Hearing Zhou Yu mention "good at controlling birds and beasts", Xiao Qiao knew that he was exploring his own reality. She rolled her eyes, decided to teach the rude man in front of her a lesson, bent down to pick up the small stick, deliberately squatted beside the flowers and played with the soil, and said: "The soil quality here is too bad, if you want to save them, you must apply fertilizer, you first go to the toilet to carry two baskets of manure." ”
How could Zhou Yu take the bait, he laughed loudly: "Miss Xiao Qiao is reasonable, if you want to be born like a flower, you need to apply more manure to grow well." ”
Before the words fell, Xiao Qiao suddenly picked up the soil after the rain with a wooden stick, and shook Zhou Yu's plain robe firmly. Zhou Yu, who has always loved cleanliness, couldn't help but change his face greatly, but he understood that Xiao Qiao was waiting to see him angry, so he hurriedly flicked the hem of his clothes in a chic manner, fluently knocked out the feather fan in his sleeve, and said: "The plain clothes are too plain, and it is really Zhou's luck to have Xiao Qiao girl add light to it." ”
Xiao Qiao snickered in his heart, seeing that Zhou Yu pretended to be calm, but the green tendons on his forehead were already raised, and he dug the soil again: "Then let's add a few more points to Zhou Gongzi!" The bad thing stopped, Xiao Qiao made a grimace at Zhou Yu, got up quickly and ran away, and jumped onto the high platform with a smoke.
Big Joe pulled the door out of the guest room and bumped into Little Joe. Seeing that there was a sinister smile on the corner of Xiao Qiao's mouth, Da Qiao hurriedly bowed down and saluted Zhou Yu in the audience: "But my sister is rude?" The little woman apologized to Zhou Gongzi on her behalf! ”
Zhou Yu looked at Xiao Qiao, only to see that her thin lips were tight, her shoulders were towering, and she was completely devoid of Fang Cai's stubborn domineering, and her heart was filled with a little indescribable amusement. Zhou Yu remained silent, but there was an implication in his words that he would settle the account after a while: "It's okay, Miss Da Qiao doesn't have to take it to heart." ”
Da Qiao leaned over slightly and admonished in a low voice: "Your illness has only recovered a little, just run around outside, and there is a girl's house in your cloak." If you let your father see it, it must be a hand-beater. ”
Xiao Qiao lowered his head and confessed, but his big eyes were still spinning: "What my sister said is that Wan'er knows that she is wrong." ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yu's whole person was shocked for a moment, and his thoughts suddenly drifted to the last year, he adhered to his father's order to match the words of the concubine, and married the daughter of Situ Wang Yun of the dynasty, the moment the flower candle in the cave room was lifted, the lady blushed with a charming face, lowered her eyes to look at the candle flame, and murmured: "The little woman has a single name and a graceful word......
After the death of Mrs. Dacong, Zhou Yu desperately avoided it, and took this word out of his dictionary, but at this time, he was recalled by Xiao Qiao's "Wan'er". Zhou Yu's face was bloodless, and it took a long time to calm down, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao had long since disappeared, only the sound of her sisters teasing and ridiculed in the guest room, he couldn't help but sigh, and walked around the front hall to the backyard.
After changing clothes, Zhou Yu came to the dining room, and sure enough, he saw that Sun Ce was already sitting by the desk and waiting impatiently. Seeing Zhou Yu coming, Sun Ce hurriedly stepped forward and pulled him into the seat: "But I can look forward to you, why don't you eat in the morning?" Grinding and chirping is simply a person who is in a hurry. ”
Zhou Yu looked at the dumb child who was embarrassed on the other side, and knew that Sun Ceding had been asking the dumb child when he was going to eat. But the dumb child couldn't speak, Sun Ce naturally couldn't ask anything, Zhou Yu was angry and funny: "I really admire you, there is such a big thing, you still only think about eating." ”
"Since my father passed away in the year I was beaten, I have understood a truth: the more important the matter, the more you must eat and sleep well, otherwise why should you fight with others?"
Aunt Zhou walked into the dining room with porridge and dried vegetables, and the dumb child hurriedly stepped forward to take it and placed it neatly on the table. Zhou Yu instructed: "Aunt Lao Zhou went to invite those two girls to come over for dinner." Aunt Zhou nodded in agreement and walked out of the dining room with the dumb child.
"That old man is gone? It's so good, I'm scared of him, and every time I see him, I have to talk endlessly. But he's an elder, and I can't beat him", while speaking, there was a buzz in Sun Ce's abdomen, he was embarrassed, scratched his head and smiled, "Don't blame me for only thinking about eating, I was tired for a day yesterday, so I padd a few pieces of osmanthus cake, and now I'm really hungry." ”
Zhou Yu had no intention of joking and asked, "When are you going to set off to find Yuan Shu?" Before leaving, I have to entrust the affairs of the county government to Brother Lu. ”
"General Yuan and his father are stationed in Shouchun, and the distance between them is only hundreds of miles, if the two sons set off, it will be two or three days short, and five or six days long, and they will go to General Yuan's military camp."
Unexpectedly, it was Da Qiao who answered, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce hurriedly stood up and saluted Xiao Qiao. Everyone sat down separately, and Zhou Yu took over Da Qiao's words: "Xiao Qiao's little illness is cured, I don't know what the two girls plan?" ”
"Naturally, I want to find my father", Da Qiao was about to pick up a spoon and hold a bowl of lettuce soup, but Sun Ce snatched it, and served it to Da Qiao with both hands, squeezed his eyebrows and said: "If there is no beautiful woman for hundreds of miles, there is no interest, we might as well go together, how about it?" ”
thought that Xiao Qiao would scold him for being shameless or something, Sun Ce stiffened his neck and waited to listen, but she just took the soup bowl in his hand and drank it to herself.
Da Qiao happily agreed: "That's naturally excellent." In the midst of the chaos, our two sisters are worried about not being able to hire chariots and horses to escort them, and it would be great if we could go the same way with the two sons. ”
Hearing Da Qiao's response, Sun Ceden smiled and said to Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, you quickly deal with the affairs of the county, and we will be on the road early tomorrow morning." ”
Zhou Yu was thinking about the trade-off, and Sun Ce suddenly accosted him, causing him to hesitate for a moment: "Okay...... After breakfast, I went to visit Brother Lu and entrusted him with the matter of living in the nest. ”
Da Qiao Waner said: "With a parent official like Zhou Gongzi, it is really the well-being of the people living in the nest. Wan'er, we are idle, why don't we go boating in Chaohu Lake after dinner? ”
"My sister will say it if she wants to go, why bother to come and ask me, if I don't go, won't I be punished?" Xiao Qiao said as he slowly leaned back, as if he was very afraid of Big Qiao.
Amused by Xiao Qiao's demeanor, Zhou Yu couldn't help laughing: "Chaohu Lake is quite big, there are often water thieves haunting, the two girls are afraid that it is not appropriate to go out alone, why don't I find a guide to go with you." ”
"Where you need such trouble, I'll go with them", Sun Ce picked up the rice cake and chewed it, and spit out this sentence indistinctly.
Little Qiaonu squinted his eyes, and he was extremely disgusted with Sun Ce's guide. Da Qiao's cheeks were hot, and he said lightly: "Then there will be Lao Sun Gongzi." ”
After the meal, Zhou Yu rode his horse alone and rushed to Lu Su's mansion. Different from the simplicity of the old mansion of the Zhou family, the Gaomen compound of the Lu family's mansion is the residence of the local gentry at a glance.
Zhou Yu stepped forward and knocked on the door, but found that the door was not locked, he pushed the door into the courtyard, and there was a noisy crowd in front of the court, and there were more than 100 young men gathered here. When Zhou Yu was stunned, a young man who had never met before stepped forward and asked, "This little brother is here to apply?" ”
Zhou Yu was also very confused, and before he could reply, he heard a loud shout not far away, Lu Su split the crowd, hurriedly walked out, and stepped forward to smash a hammer on the head of this little guy: "Stinky boy, he is the county commander of Zhou County, how can you be so abrupt!" ”
Zhou Yu smiled and bowed to Lu Su: "Brother Lu is not strange, he doesn't know me, I don't know him, how can there be such a thing as abrupt?" ”
Lu Su pulled Zhou Yu's sleeve: "Regardless of them, come and come, let's go to the hall to talk." ”
It was late spring, the sky was clear, and the clouds and mountains and blue lakes reflected each other. Da Qiao sat on the bow of the boat, the green silk swaying lightly in the wind, she reached out her bare hands, hanging her long eyelashes, and teasing the crystal clear water. Sun Ce stood at the stern of the boat and shook the pulp, not looking at the stunner in front of him, but staring at Xiao Qiao, thoughtfully.
The three of them were so silent by boat, it was really a little embarrassing, and Da Qiao came to say: "I heard that Sun Gongzi is from Fuchun, Wu County, isn't he a fellow villager with Xi Shi?" ”
Sun Ce replied while shaking the pulp: "The girl must have seen me look good, and when she saw me, she remembered the great beauty of Xi Shi?" But I don't like Xi Shi, and I don't like Fan Li, if you talk about the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, my favorite is my ancestor Sun Wu. ”
"I saw that the son was brave, but I never thought that he was the descendant of his grandson, it was really disrespectful", Da Qiao's voice was soft and clear, like the east wind blowing through the willows by the lake.
Sun Ce was praised by Da Qiao like this, he was in an extremely happy mood, scratched his head and smiled: "The girl praises falsely, and she really doesn't dare to be a ...... for a brave sentence."
Xiao Qiao interrupted coldly: "You are such a thick-skinned person, why don't you like Xi Shi and Fan Li?" ”
Sun Ce propped up the oars, squatted down and asked Xiao Qiao with a smile: "Why do you say?" What would it be like for you to be a woman who was betrayed by her beloved husband and given as a concubine? ”
Da Qiao covered his mouth and smiled: "Sun Gongzi said that he laughed, of course my sister is a woman, how can she use a word like 'if'." ”
Sun Ce pretended to apologize: "It's me who is abrupt, but Ling Mei wears men's clothes every day, and she is born with flat bones and flat cheeks, which really doesn't look like a girl's family." ”
Xiao Qiao naturally knew that Sun Ce was deliberately embarrassing her, and he was angry. She has always been the only one to play tricks on people, where can she be tricked? Xiao Qiao flicked his wide sleeves, and the flying stone went straight to Sun Ce's eyes.
Sun Ce reacted quickly and was agile, and he dodged the flying stone in one turn. But he seemed to have forgotten that he was on the boat at this time, and he fell straight into the lake without a trace. Da Qiao was startled, and hurriedly lay on the side of the boat and called: "Sun Lang! Sun Lang! ”
Little Joe sat upright and yawned as if he had nothing to do. There were ripples on the surface of the lake, and Xu Yi returned to calm, Da Qiao couldn't help but feel anxious, pulled his handkerchief and said anxiously: "You kid, what if you drown him in such a disaster!" ”
Xiao Qiao rubbed his worried eyes and replied, "Sister, don't worry, Jiangdong ......"
"If the children of Jiangdong don't even know the water, they will be in vain", Sun Ce actually got out of the opposite direction of falling into the water, lying on the side of the boat, smiling handsome and bright.
Da Qiao reached out and wanted to pull Sun Ce, but after Sun Ce grabbed it, he floated up with one arm. I thought that I was going to board the ship smoothly, but who knew that Sun Ce's hand suddenly sank, his body fell backwards, his center of gravity was lost, and he dragged Da Qiao into a pool of spring water.
