Chapter 30: Misfortune (1)
After talking to Sun Ce and Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao sent Zhou Yu away. The period of separation is approaching, and the two of them walked side by side, both of them were very reluctant, only to hear Zhou Yu say: "I told your sister and brother-in-law, you should rest assured." Stay here and take care of yourself. β
The snow was still falling, wetting their robes, but neither of them cared about fiddling, just looking at each other. Xiao Qiao's face was slightly red, and she smiled coquettishly: "I was always very disappointed and sad when you left before, but this time I feel very hopeful......"
Zhou Yu also laughed when he heard this, took out a brocade box and handed it to Xiao Qiao. Xiao Qiao took it blankly, turned his head and asked, "What is this?"
"Open it and take a look, I just made a special trip back to the house to get it."
Xiao Qiao opened it gently, and saw a bracelet between the flannel of the brocade box, which was actually in the shape of a bowl flower inlaid with pink pearls, which was extremely delicate and beautiful.
Zhou Yu took it out and put it on for Xiao Qiao, and her wrist was as white as frost and snow: "I originally wanted to send you on my birthday, but now I want to go to the front line, I can't accompany you this year, ...... in the future." I try to be all there. β
This bracelet is so delicate, I am afraid that Zhou Yu has found someone to compare it with the shape of the bowl flower a long time ago, and she didn't know it. Xiao Qiao Xinyue was moved, and her eyes were hot: "Your ambition is in the four seas, I understand...... I won't blame you for this, I just ask you not to drag you down because of me. β
"What stupid things to say, if a man is really ambitious, how can he be dragged down by a woman, these are just excuses for mediocrity. Being with you is what my heart desires. β
Xiao Qiao's heart was happy, but tears were full of eyelashes: "To say something embarrassing, you are a dream I have started a little ...... I really didn't expect that there would be a day when it would come true. β
Zhou Yu brushed Xiao Qiao's long hair and brushed away the falling snow on her green sideburns: "Looking at you these two days, I always think of how you looked when you were a child, short and thin, like a kid." β
Xiao Qiao's little face was flushed, as if dripping blood: "You better forget it, it was so ugly at that time......"
Zhou Yu softened his eyebrows, and his tone was gentle and irrefutable: "I don't think it's ugly at all, brave and cute...... Wan'er, I want to remember all your appearances. β
Zhou Yu was about to go to Shouchun and Yuan Shuxu and the snake, Xiao Qiao was reluctant to give up, and when he heard this, he was even more embarrassed, and he couldn't care about being reserved, leaning on his shoulder and muttering: "I also have to remember all your appearances, when we are all old and can't see it, you will always be in my heart." β
It wasn't early, Zhou Yu knew that it was time for him to go, and muttered: "I should go, don't you tell me to be more careful?" β
"In my heart, Zhou Lang is resourceful, and I also believe that you will protect yourself. So I don't want to say such things and tie you up with the love of my children......"
"Wan'er understands me", Zhou Yu took Xiao Qiao's hand and kissed her on the lips, turned over on the horse, circled around her, and then galloped away, disappearing at the end of the long street.
Xiao Qiao stopped for a long time before turning around and leaving, but who knew that she bumped into Da Qiao's arms, and she couldn't stop holding her forehead: "When did my sister come, I didn't know it, I was scared to death." β
"When did you come? Just now, when you and Lord Zhou were in love, I came. But looking at you, you and me, it's really hard to bother, so I waited for a while. β
Xiao Qiao was so ashamed that he couldn't find a place to get in, and said angrily: "Sister is really, why do you still listen to the corner......"
"You two are standing and talking on the long street, and you are strange to listen to the corner? Oh, I'm afraid that you'll be cold, so I brought you a cloak, you girl, standing in the snow in a single coat, your face is frozen red", although Da Qiao was disgusted, he still put on a cloak for Xiao Qiao with pity.
Xiao Qiao took advantage of the situation and pulled Da Qiao over, and said coquettishly: "Sister is not allowed to laugh at me......"
The two sisters stepped on the snow, one foot deep and the other shallow, walking towards the door of the house. Da Qiao only felt that a stone in his heart fell to the ground, and he said with relief: "Where am I laughing at you, Wan'er, if you can marry Lord Zhou, I don't know how to be happy." Lord Zhou and Sun Lang are like brothers, and we sisters don't have to be separated. If my father can also come to Gusu'an to spend his old age, I will have no regrets. β
The two sisters said and walked into the general's mansion, Xiao Qiao was so tired that he couldn't open his eyes after two days of bumping, so he went back to his room to wash and rest. Da Qiao also returned to the wing room, only to see that in the cold winter, Sun Ce couldn't stop fanning the wind with a feather fan.
"Don't be so greedy, what if you get caught in the cold?"
When Sun Ce saw Da Qiao, he threw away the fan, stepped forward and held her little hand tightly: "I'm not hot, or I'm scared, and I'm in a cold sweat." β
Da Qiao seemed to guess that Sun Ce would be like this, raised his apricot eyes and sneered, not knowing whether to laugh or be annoyed: "I was still surprised, why did you hear that Lord Zhou was going to marry Wan'er so indifferently, it turned out that it was all pretending." β
"I thought that men all over the world would like women like you, not only beautiful and beautiful, but also gentle and demure, but I didn't think that there were people who like my sister-in-law like that. But to be honest, Gong Jin is the kind of character who would rather lack than abuse, if it is not hearty, he would rather be lonely for a lifetime, and he would not hastily marry one and put it on his side, I think he really likes his sister-in-law. Although I was shocked, I was really happy for him. And I know that Mrs. has been thinking about her sister-in-law's marriage, and promised it to Gongjin, and Mrs. can be regarded as getting what she wants. β
Listening to Sun Ce's words, Da Qiao raised his slender arms to wrap around Sun Ce's burly shoulders, and suddenly wanted to cry: "Sun Lang understands me, and when I heard Lord Zhou's words today, I am really much more relieved." β
Sun Ce didn't say anything more, tilted his head and kissed Da Qiao's forehead, but a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes: I just made a report, a few days ago, Changmu Xiu's sister and brother disguised themselves out of Gusu City, and they didn't know where to go, which really made him a little worried. If Changmu Xiu knew about Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao, would he still protect Qiao Rui as agreed? Will it assassinate Zhou Yu?
In the prime minister's mansion of Xudu, Ji Qing was holding his sleeve cage to study ink, and on the bookcase on the side, Cao Cao condensed his eyebrows and looked at the performances sent here by various places. Ji Qing thought to herself, if she stabbed the dagger hidden in the embroidered sole into the heart of the man next to her, she would definitely be able to leave a name in history.
But she didn't intend to do this, fourteen years ago, if Cao Cao hadn't taken in their sister and brother, they would have died in the troubled times. There is kindness, but more because the man beside her can help her achieve her goals.
Just as she was thinking, Cao Cao suddenly coughed lightly. Ji Qing hurriedly asked, "But the incense is too much, making the prime minister uncomfortable?" β
"The red sleeves are fragrant on the side, how can Lone be uncomfortable? If Lone is so hypocritical and doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, won't he make the heroes of the world laugh? β
Ji Qing covered his mouth and smiled: "The prime minister is too exalted to me." When it comes to beauty, the world ...... There are at least three women above me. β
Hearing what Ji Qing said, Cao Cao became interested and put down the brush: "It is said that women are jealous and are the most unwilling to praise others." If you can say that you are beautiful, it must not be a mundane thing, so you can talk about it. β
"The prime minister is making fun of me again, in fact, the prime minister has long known that the people of the world are singing 'Jiangdong has Erqiao, Hebei Zhen Miqiao'. This Zhen Mi is the wife of Yuan Shao's second son Yuan Xi, and Er Qiao is the two daughters of Qiao Rui, the general under Yuan Shu's account. β
Cao Cao pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, his gray beard trembling slightly: "It's just a clichΓ©, Yuan Shao's daughter-in-law won't mention it for the time being, how old are Qiao Rui's two daughters, and what kind of affection can they have." β
"Don't hide it from the prime minister, this time I went to Jiangdong Wu County, and I saw Qiao Rui's two daughters with my own eyes. The big Qiao girl has been occupied by Sun Bofu, and the little one is quite close to Zhou Gongjin. β
"Sun Bofu is proud this year, he has gone down to Danyang Wu County in three months, grabbed the territory, and naturally wants to rob the beauty, this stinky boy is really ......"
Ji Qing smiled charmingly: "No matter how brave Sun Bofu is, how can Jiangdong compare to Yuzhou, the granary of the world?" β
Cao Cao sneered and tapped the tip of Ji Qing's nose with a brush: "In the woman's opinion, the reason why Lone has always asked you to keep an eye on him is because he is worried that he will get Jiangdong's chassis, and Lone is worried that he will get Jiangdong's talent......"
