Chapter 21: Qin Se in the Imperial Court (3)

In the early winter of the south of the Yangtze River, the light frost was not killed, the clouds were thousands of miles, and the geese were full of wild geese. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu watched the soldiers' drills and returned to the camp with a body of frost.

Seeing that Zhou Yu's clothes were thin, Sun Ce took off his cloak and draped it on his shoulders: "In the past, you always reminded me that I changed seasons and added clothes, why didn't I pay attention?" ”

Zhou Yu did not reject Sun Ce's kindness, and said with a smile: "Seeing that there is really a person with a wife, someone cares about us, and no one cares about us." But seeing that you and Mrs. Qiao are so affectionate, I am happy for you as a brother in my heart. ”

Sun Ce raised his hand and knocked on Zhou Yu's heart: "Don't patronize envy, you have been a widower for many years, and you should find another person who knows cold and hot by your side." However, I won't rush you, after all, there are too few people in this world who can be worthy of you, so you just have to pay attention to yourself. In addition, I have informed all the generals that early tomorrow morning, I will lead 20,000 elite soldiers south to attack Huiji, and you will bring 10,000 troops to guard here, so you don't have to go with me. I thought about it and felt that only if you were stationed in Danyang and Wu County, I could rest assured. ”

"Wang Lang is cunning, and there are many mountains, rivers and lakes, and the terrain is complicated.

Sun Ce patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder heavily, and said: "Since the beginning of autumn, Ying'er's health is not very good, this time to crusade against Wang Lang, the road is difficult and dangerous, I will not take her with me." Gongjin, be sure to help me take care of her. ”

Before Zhou Yu could reply, he saw a guard trotting over: "Report!" Major General, Zhang Xiu's son came to Xuzhou and asked to see the young general! ”

"I know, let him go to the account and wait for me", Sun Ce responded loudly, and when he saw the guards retreat, he lowered his voice and said to Zhou Yu, "This Changmu Xiu is a meticulous work, pretending to meet Yuan Shu, but secretly doing things for Cao Cao." ”

Hearing that Changmu Xiu was coming again, Zhou Yu's face was not very good-looking: "I always feel that he is not as simple as it seems. With his talent, if he wants to be crowned an official and become a knight, why not stay by Cao Cao's side as a strategist, but go to this land south of the Yangtze River and circle around you and me? ”

"Maybe it's because he likes his sister-in-law, I'll go see him first and then come back."

After speaking, Sun Ce strode away, Zhou Yu stood in the frosty sky, did not move for a long time, and his eyes were full of uneasiness: What Changmu Xiu wanted, is it really just Xiao Qiao? If not, how should he respond, and if so, what should he do?

In the evening, someone came to Wanling, it turned out that Mrs. Zhou saw the sudden cooling, worried that Zhou Yu was freezing, so she specially sent someone to send winter clothes, and also prepared a few for Xiao Qiao. Zhou Yu understood what Mrs. Zhou meant, but she was helpless and helpless, so she could only honestly take the package and come to Xiao Qiao's tent.

Who knew that Xiao Qiao was not there, only Da Qiao was in the tent, Zhou Yu and Da Qiao greeted each other, and arched their hands and said: "I haven't congratulated Mrs. and Bo Fu on their great joy." ”

Da Qiao Wan'er smiled: "It's just a trivial matter, Zhou Gongzi doesn't have to mind." Childe came this time, but there is something to look for? ”

Zhou Yu was inexplicably stunned, and smiled awkwardly: "My aunt has prepared a few winter clothes for Miss Xiao Qiao, and I will send ......"

"It's really unfortunate that Zhang Gongzi came today, and Wan'er went out with him. Zhou Gongzi might as well hand it over to me, and when Wan'er comes back, I'll let her go to you to thank you." ”

It's really more and more afraid of something, and as soon as Xiu Changmu came, he looked for Xiao Qiao, and he didn't know what kind of heart he had. Zhou Yu was stunned for a while, and before he could reply to Da Qiao's words, he heard a sound of footsteps, and Xiao Qiao's voice as clear as a clear spring faintly came: "Brother Xiu, you will take me to play today, otherwise I will be suffocated to death if I am suffocated in the house all day." I'll go back now, otherwise my sister will have to worry about ......"

Changmu Xiu pondered for a moment, as if he had plucked up great courage: "Wan'er, I came to look for you this time because I have something to ask you...... You don't know yet, General Yuan...... Willing to protect the media for me, I already went to ask your father a few days ago. General Qiao said that although you want the words of the matchmaker, you want to live a smooth life, so ...... If you want, I, I'......"

Hearing this, Zhou Yu stepped forward in a few steps, lifted the curtain, looked at Xiao Qiao, and said in a deep voice: "Come here." ”

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu was in the tent, and Xiao Qiao and Changmu Xiu were both taken aback. Xiao Qiao was embarrassed, hung his head and walked honestly to the tent, who knew that Chang Muxiu strode up, entered the tent one step ahead of Xiao Qiao, and said to Zhou Yuli: "But it happens that Lord Zhou is also here, so Zhang Mou will talk today: I heard that Lord Zhou has not yet proposed to General Qiao, Zhang Mou took the first step, and I hope that Lord Zhou will be fulfilled." ”

Da Qiao was dazed and shocked when he heard the conversation between several people, and when he saw Xiao Qiao winking at him, he roughly understood a little, and hurriedly pretended to be calm, and sat and watched the two of them fight.

Unfortunately, Sun Ce was busy with military affairs, and he came to look for Da Qiao when he was unsuccessful, but when he entered the account, he saw that several of them were in one place, Zhou Yu and Changmu Xiu crossed their eyebrows, and they didn't know why.

Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao pretended to be happy with each other, and they couldn't tell Sun Ce for a while, they wouldn't leak their mouths, it was hard to guarantee that Sun Ce wouldn't, Da Qiao hurriedly stepped forward and said to Sun Ce: "Sun Lang, we have to leave for Huiji tomorrow, we might as well go back early, don't crowd Wan'er here." ”

Sun Ce knew their secrets, waved his hand and said, "I'm not busy, I've been talking for a while, my mouth is dry, and I'm begging for saliva from my sister-in-law." After speaking, Sun Ce walked to the wooden case, picked up the clay pot and filled the bowl, and drank it in a big gulp.

At this moment, I only heard Zhou Yu say coldly: "How do you know that I didn't plan to marry Wanmei?" Marriage is a big event, how can it be child's play, I have already taken Wanmei to meet my uncle and uncle, and in a few days, I will go to General Qiao to propose marriage......"

When Sun Ce heard this, his saliva spurted out, but before he could ask, he saw that Da Qiao Ming's eyes couldn't blink, he didn't dare to say more, and said: "The water is too hot, you continue, don't worry about me." ”

Changmu Xiu retracted his gaze from Sun Ce, and sneered: "Oh? Is it? Then Zhang was waiting for the day when Mr. Zhou proposed marriage, and hoped that Mr. Zhou was sincere, and he didn't want to harm other girls' lives in vain. After saying that, Changmu Xiu saluted Sun Ce, glanced at Xiao Qiao deeply, and strode out of the tent.

After Changmu Xiu walked away, Sun Ce stepped forward, and said to Zhou Yu with his waist in his hand: "I can see it, are you afraid that your sister-in-law will be married by this guy of unknown origin, so you can help her lie?" ”

Zhou Yu didn't reply to Sun Ce's words, turned to Xiao Qiao and said, "Little Qiao girl, Zhou has told you many times that Changmu Xiu is not a good person, please have less contact with him, I hope you can keep it in mind." ”

Xiao Qiao's thin lips trembled slightly, his heart was aggrieved, and his eyes couldn't help but be hot: "Brother Xiu, he is not bad." ”

Zhou Yu's heart was a little blocked for a while, but he also knew that he couldn't get out of it with Xiao Qiao, so he turned to Sun Ce and said, "Bo Fu, I have something to tell you, let's go to the account." ”

Sun Ce nodded in response, took Da Qiao's hand and said, "Ying'er, I'll come back later, you go back and wait for me." ”

When Sun Ce and Zhou Yu left, Xiao Qiao's tears could no longer hold back and fell. Da Qiao hurriedly took out a silk handkerchief and wanted to wipe her tears, but suddenly she felt dizzy, her feet were weak, and she almost fell.

Xiao Qiao hurriedly helped Da Qiao steady: "Sister...... What's wrong with you, sister? ”

Da Qiao was supported by Xiao Qiao, slowly walked to the couch, stroked his chest and smoothed out: "It's okay, Wan'er, I'm fine, don't worry." ”

"Look at how thin you are now, you couldn't eat a while ago, and now you're dizzy at every turn, sister, do you want to kill me in a hurry?"

Da Qiao chuckled and shook his head, holding Xiao Qiao's hand tightly: "Don't worry, I really don't care." It's just that...... My sister wants to go back to Wancheng, are you willing to accompany me? ”
