Chapter 34: Living Up to the Lovesickness (1)
After Cheng Pu led his troops to reinforce Sun Ben, Liu Xun was defeated and had no power to fight back. Who knew that Huang Zu's son Huang Shot was killed in the middle of the road, and led 5,000 troops to help Liu Xun from the waterway, Cheng Pu did not dare to act rashly, while fighting against him, he sent people to rush back to Wancheng to report the news.
When Sun Jian died in Da Xian Mountain, no matter who was the killer, Huang Zu was indispensable to promote it, this revenge of killing his father, Huang Zu could not escape, and now he heard that Huang Jian came to die again, Sun Ce was furious, thinking that he had planned to attack Sha Xian immediately after breaking Wancheng, and defeated them in one fell swoop, now there is no need to delay, he immediately passed the order to go, ordered Cheng Pu to attack in a big way, be sure to wipe it out, no one is left.
Da Qiao understands that the revenge of killing his father is Sun Ce's obsession, and although Huang Zu's life is not enough to make up for it, it can somewhat relieve him of the pain of losing his father. Seeing Sun Ce standing at the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the cold moon, Da Qiao got up and put on his shirt for him, leaning softly on his shoulder: "Sun Lang......"
"Why don't you sleep yet?" Sun Ce took Da Qiao in his arms and put his clothes on her body, "I'm fine, it's just ......"
"I know", Da Qiao understood Sun Ce's desire to speak and stopped, and lowered his eyes and said, "Sun Lang, the weather is getting colder and colder, my body is getting more and more bulky, and it is inconvenient to stay outside, I want to go back to Gusu." ”
Sun Ce was stunned for a long time, and did not respond for a long time, his star-like eyes were complicated: "Ying'er ......"
Da Qiao raised his hand and pinched Sun Ce's thin lips, and said, "You don't have to feel guilty, I'm not for you." Qiong'er has never left me since she was born, and since my father has been buried, I should have gone back to see her earlier. In addition, my mother-in-law's knee bones are sore and uncomfortable in winter, and I will wear wool knee pads made by me in the past few years, so I have to go back early to prepare, and my sister-in-law, she has to grow taller every year, and the winter clothes made last year will definitely not be worn...... In short, you go to fight Huang Zu, I'll go back to Wu County, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law and Wan'er are here, it's not the first time I'm pregnant, you really don't have to stay with me all the time. ”
Sun Ce turned around and looked at Da Qiao, who still had a childish look on his face, and felt very uncomfortable: "You don't have to say so much, I understand everything you have done for me." The current situation is like a boat sailing against the current, I really have to enter, otherwise not to mention the ambition of the world, and even the land of Jiangdong will be in danger...... Ying'er, you are the person I love the most, you can understand me so much, my grandson has no regrets in this life, but ......"
Da Qiao knew how much sadness and helplessness Sun Ce's sentence "but" contained, and interrupted with a smile: "You are a great hero who shocked China, such a child is long, and you are not afraid that others will know the joke?" You don't have to worry about my body, it's better to go back to Wu County to give birth than to follow you around with you......"
Sun Ce was silent for a long time, sighed heavily, and put a pair of big hands on Da Qiao's slightly bulging lower abdomen: "When I gave birth to Qiong'er, I was not by your side, and now you are going to give birth to a child for me, but I am going to fight again." Ying'er, I'm not a good husband, I'm not a good son, and I'm not a good father......"
"I don't like you like this, I still like the Sun Lang who will say, 'I am the only one worthy of you in the whole world.'"
Sun Ce was finally amused by Da Qiao, his brows were relieved, and he hugged Da Qiao into his arms: "After so many years, I can finally tell the world that you are mine." Don't worry, before this expedition, I will definitely promote the marriage of my sister-in-law and Gongjin, so that the two of them will not miss each other. A few days ago, Gongjin mentioned to me that after fighting Shaxian and pacifying Yuzhang, he wanted to go to guard Baqiu, if he couldn't do it with his sister-in-law this time, I don't know when it would be goodbye. ”
Da Qiao opened his mouth in surprise: "General Zhou is going to such a far place?" Bachu is no better than Niu Zhu, and it takes at least ten days and a half to travel back and forth. Wan'er shouldn't know about this yet, I'll tell her tomorrow morning......"
"Madame, don't worry, Gong Jin, he doesn't want to tell his sister-in-law about this now. Actually, I don't want Gong Jin to go so far, but although I have many generals under my account, understand my ambitions, and have such talents, Gong Jin is the only one. When I go to the grave for my father-in-law and mother-in-law tomorrow morning, I should first probe the two of them. ”
Zhou Yu was unwilling to tell Xiao Qiao about going to Baqiu, wasn't she afraid that she would agree to the marriage on impulse, instead of sincerely pleasing him?
These two people think a lot about each other, but they think too much and hide too much, which makes it more difficult for each other to be considerate of their own thoughts.
People are in love, it is inevitable that this will be the case, Da Qiao recalled that when he was besieging Shucheng, he and Sun Ce were also in love but couldn't guess each other's intentions. If you don't stick to your heart back then, I'm afraid that the two have already been separated in the troubled times, Da Qiao is happy, but also a little afraid, I just hope that Xiao Qiao will not be obsessed with obsession and miss his beloved, so that it will really make his parents sad.
Early the next morning, Sun Ce Da Qiao and Zhou Yu Xiao Qiao went out of the city from the north gate together to go to the joint burial tomb of Qiao Rui and Er Qiao's biological mother.
Sun Ce and Da Qiao are already a sure couple, and there are rules to follow for the sacrifice, but Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao are a little embarrassed. Da Qiao stroked his lower abdomen, slowly got up under Xiao Qiao's support, and greeted Zhou Yu and said: "General Zhou doesn't know, many years ago when I was in Lujiang, my father left a message, 'If you have Zhou Gongjin as your son-in-law, you will have no regrets in this life', now General Zhou can come here to worship, I want to come to my father in the sky, and I will be relieved." ”
When he was in Lujiang a few years ago, Xiao Qiao was only twelve or thirteen years old, and Zhou Yu didn't have that kind of thought. Xiao Qiao was at a loss, and said to Da Qiao: "When did Daddy say such a thing, why don't I remember......"
Without waiting for Da Qiao to answer, Sun Ce on the side actually looked a little anxious: "Father-in-law only said Gongjin? Didn't you say me? ”
Da Qiao was thinking about the marriage between Xiao Qiao and Zhou Yu, and forgot for a while that there was someone around him who needed to be coaxed, funny and helpless, and comforted: "Naturally, I also said you, Daddy's favorite is you...... Wan'er forgot how to say that on Chinese New Year's Eve that year, my father finally celebrated the New Year with our sisters, and he also left a message, saying that one day, if he suffers misfortune, let you and my sisters not keep filial piety, you must find a good family as soon as possible, and have a good person to rely on in troubled times. I have found Sun Lang, and today I will take him to the spirit of my parents, and I will be relieved that they have a spirit in heaven. ”
The meaning of this is very obvious, Xiao Qiao doesn't understand, but he dodges Da Qiao's gaze and has no interface. The scene couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, Zhou Yu arched his hand and said: "Gong Jin also admires General Qiao's style and bones, and it is Gong Jin's luck to be able to come here for a sacrifice today." ”
Xiao Qiao is okay, Zhou Yu is actually here pretending to be confused, Sun Ce doesn't understand what dumb riddles the two of them are playing, and looks at Da Qiao with a very puzzled expression.
Da Qiao shook her head lightly and motioned to her subordinates to take the winter clothes she had prepared and burn them for her father and mother. Er Qiao couldn't help crying again, Sun Ce was afraid that Da Qiao was pregnant, afraid that she would be too sad and hurt her body, so he ordered to return home immediately after the memorial was over.
Er Qiao sat in the carriage, and Da Qiao saw that Xiao Qiao was not giving up, so he grabbed her little hand lightly: "Wan'er, what's wrong with you and General Zhou?" Wouldn't it be a quarrel? ”
Xiao Qiao replied timidly: "Zhou Lang's temperament, how can he quarrel with me...... It's just that he mentioned marriage to me that day, but I didn't agree, and I felt a little awkward. ”
"You know, Daddy has always loved you very much, you have reached the age of marriage, if you waste your years because of filial piety, Daddy will not be at ease under Jiuquan. Or do you have any other concerns......"
Xiao Qiao's mouth opened and opened, his eyes were full of confusion and confusion, and he muttered: "I said it, sister, don't laugh at me, in addition to keeping filial piety for my father, I actually ...... I've never been sure why Zhou Lang suddenly likes me...... I'm not as virtuous as my sister, I even cook hard food, Zhou Lang is so good, why do you like me and marry me. ”
Da Qiao had never seen Xiao Qiao so dazed, and said softly and comfortingly: "What's wrong with our Wan'er?" Smart and brave, and born so beautiful......"
"That's all that's left to be beautiful", Xiao Qiao leaned weakly against the wall of the carriage, and the sorrow between his eyebrows was even worse.
People who fall into the word "love", how can they not be entangled in the reciprocation, suffering from gains and losses, not to mention that Zhou Yu hid too deeply before, Xiao Qiao was not aware of it, and it is not surprising that he is confused and dazed when it comes to the end.
It is useless to persuade others to comfort this kind of thing, Da Qiao can only come up with an idea: "Why don't you ask General Zhou in person?" I think although he is a gentleman, he is a chic and open-minded person, and he doesn't like to hide it. Since you like him so much, and he loves you so much, why don't you talk about it, it's better than you are thinking nonsense here. ”
Xiao Qiao was silent, but her mood was even more disturbed because of Da Qiao's words, she was so hesitant and unconfident, she was also the first time, the more she was pleased with him, the more she was not sure of his intentions, but how could she ask such a thing?
After Sun Ce returned to Qiao's house, he summoned Lu Fan to come and discuss with Zhou Yu about attacking Huang Zu. Lu Fan is a native of Runan, similar in age to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, and he was born with a dignified appearance and extraordinary qualities. The three of them deduced the sand table for a while, and soon set the route to march to Shaxian.
Without further ado, Lu Fan immediately returned to the barracks and conveyed Sun Ce's instructions to the generals. Zhou Yufang wanted to resign, but was pulled by Sun Ce: "Gong Jin, look at Lu Ziheng, he is about the same age as us, and the eldest son is already seven years old......
Sun Ce's temperament has always been open-minded, except for himself and Da Qiao, he is extremely insensitive to the affairs of others, and at this time, he said such a sentence on his head and face, which really made Zhou Yu a little funny: "I have long heard that Brother Lu got a beautiful wife when he was in Runan County, but the lord is not left behind, and he is about to have two children." ”
"Naturally, I don't worry, but I worry about you. Don't be sloppy with me, what's going on with you and your sister-in-law? I was still in love with my concubine two days ago, what happened to these two days? ”
When it came to Xiao Qiao, Zhou Yu's eyebrows frowned slightly, but it was only relieved in an instant: "It shouldn't be tight." ”
"You, you're too young", Sun Ce was obviously only one month older than Zhou Yu, but at this time he acted like an elder, "Women are just to be coaxed, you prepare some good words, go and be soft with your sister-in-law, and there will be nothing to do." As soon as she relents, I will prepare for you. ”
Although Zhou Yu is handsome and chic, when he was young, he was not as comfortable as Sun Ce, among many girls who admired him. But Zhou Yu knew very well in his heart that Sun Ce came up with a bad idea, a few years ago, when he really liked Da Qiao, he was embarrassed and clumsy, and made Da Qiao angry every day, and a girl like Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, where can a few good words be fooled casually, Zhou Yu felt more and more that Sun Ce was unreliable, so he wanted to tease, and suddenly realized that they were now the difference between monarchs and ministers, so he didn't make a sound.
But Sun Ce still saw the ridicule on his face, and he couldn't help laughing: "I am kind enough to give you advice, why do you still have such an attitude?" That's it, Gong Jin, you said earlier that if you lay down the Yuzhang, you will go to Baqiu to defend it, but the journey of nearly two thousand miles is too far......"
Zhou Yu chuckled, lit the land of Baqiu on the sand table, and waved his hand to the north: "Although it is far away from Gusu, it is close to here......
Although Zhou Yu didn't say anything, Sun Ce understood that what he was referring to was the Xu capital where Cao Cao welcomed Emperor Han Xian, and his eyes flashed: "What do you mean......"
"I don't believe it, you never thought about it."
After breaking Wancheng, Sun Ce had already taken most of Jiangdong, while Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were still fighting in the north, and if he could go north to Yuzhou to usher in Emperor Han Xian, Sun Ce's might would be far above Cao Cao. In the past few days, Sun Ce has been dealing with yellow shooting, but his mind has already drifted farther, listening to Zhou Yu say, he only feels that he has relatives in his heart, and he is very happy: "Those who know me, Gong Jin also." ”
The courtyard is deep, the west wind curtains, and in the warm pavilion in the backyard, Xiao Qiao is sitting in front of the desk making winter clothes. I wanted to cut two winter clothes for myself and sew them back and forth, but I still made a coat for Zhou Yu.
Originally, she was not a person who was not good at female popularity, just because Zhou Yu wore the clothes she made that year, and practiced hard, although now it is still not comparable to Da Qiao's ingenious skills, it can be regarded as the exquisiteness praised by everyone.
It turns out that the word love will really change a person, Xiao Qiao was distracted for a while, accidentally pricked his hand, and exhaled "oops", and hurriedly put the jade finger like a green onion tube between his thin lips, and his willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and a few circles of ripples rippled in his lake-like eyes, going around and around, as if the sorrow in her heart was circling.
Zhou Yu came to the door of the warm pavilion at some point, knocked lightly, and asked in a deep voice, "Can I come in?" ”
Xiao Qiao hurriedly got up to greet him: "Why are you here......"
Zhou Yu walked into the warm pavilion, but did not sit down in a hurry, but took Xiao Qiao's little hand, and after seeing the injury, he directly held it in the palm of his hand: "Wan'er, I came to you because I have something to tell you." ”
The autumn wind is strong, and the flowers have already been blown off, and there is no way to rely on the drifting water. Xiao Qiao's little face is more beautiful than Jiaohua, her temples are slightly depressed, and her silk hair is scattered on her shoulders, she smiled, and the melancholy in her eyes was replaced by Xinghui for a moment: "Don't be so serious, I'll be very nervous." ”
Zhou Yu groaned: "What I came to tell you today is the most serious thing. Wan'er, I want to talk to you about my previous family affairs. ”
