Chapter 9: The Words of the Matchmaker (1)

At night, a bonfire was lit at the garrison of Yuan's army, one by one, and the stars on the distant mountains were all lifeless. The army went west to conquer Zulang, but still did not return, Da Qiao was worried about Qiao Rui's safety, and paced back and forth in the tent, anxious.

Xiao Qiao leaned on the couch like a nobody, yawning for a long time: "Sister, don't go back and forth, I see that the soles of the newly bought embroidered shoes are about to wear out." ”

Da Qiao turned around and said angrily: "You kid has a big heart, aren't you worried about your father's safety at all?" ”

Xiao Qiao got up and grimaced, and Lai smiled: "I didn't pop out of a stone, how can I not worry about my father?" It's just that General Yuan is crusading against bandits, so he shouldn't send the first general in the army to go out, right? Since my father is not in battle, why should I worry about it? ”

Having said that, Da Qiao was still worried in his heart: "But it's dark, but my father hasn't come back yet......"

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the tent, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao hurriedly went out of the tent to watch, only to see dozens of soldiers running quickly, Xiao Qiao casually pulled the nearest one, who knew that it was Lu Meng: "Why are you here?" But what's wrong? ”

When Lu Meng saw Xiao Qiao, he cleared his throat and straightened his waist, extremely complacent: "The young general of my family captured Zu Lang alive, General Yuan is in a good mood, and he set up a banquet in Shouchun to entertain our old lady, I am here to invite General Wu Jing." ”

Little Joe almost dropped his jaw in shock: "What? Capture Zulang alive...... That little gangster can even fight? ”

Lu Meng said unhappily: "How do you say this? Okay, I'll go find General Wu, and you two will wait for someone else to pick you up. ”

After speaking, Lu Meng ran away and disappeared, Xiao Qiao frowned and whispered: "It's good now, that Sun Bofu successfully recommended himself, and he is even more powerful than Mao Sui!" ”

A gust of evening breeze struck, messing up the broken hair next to Da Qiao's sideburns, she looked stunned, and couldn't listen to Xiao Qiao's words at all: I originally thought that Sun Ce would be difficult to accommodate in the barracks, and if she wanted to get Sun Jian's army back, she had to be recommended by high-ranking generals, and her father was the best candidate, so she made a bet with him. Who knew that he was so brave that he seized the opportunity to capture Zu Lang alive and became famous. Tomorrow is the three-day period, this gamble with the two of them as bets, I am afraid that she will lose.

In the city of Shouchun County, in the mansion, Yuan Shu set up a banquet to entertain Mrs. Wu and her party. Sun Ce walked into the hall with Yuan Shu, and before he could stand firmly, he heard a young man and a girl calling at the same time: "Brother! ”

Sun Ce followed the prestige, only to see Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang running together, he opened his arms and picked him up one by one: "Two little guys!" ”

Sun Quan was fourteen years old at this time, and he was born handsome and extraordinary, except for a pair of red phoenix eyes that were different from Sun Ce, the two brothers seemed to be printed in a mold. Sun Shangxiang described her as still young, but ten years old, she was dressed in a red dress, tied with two horns, wearing coral steps, and the red spikes shook gently when she walked, which was very cute.

Seeing Sun Ce picking himself up, Sun Quan struggled down, blushing and said, "Brother, don't hug me, it's not a joke." ”

Sun Shangxiang hung on Sun Ce, rubbing his little face around affectionately, looking very satisfied.

Mrs. Wu, dressed in plain clothes, stepped forward with Buddhist beads in her hand and saluted Yuan Shu: "General, it's rude." These two children have been free by nature since they were young, and they do not know etiquette, so they ask the general to forgive their sins. ”

Yuan Shu smiled heartily: "Mrs. Yuan, come on, let's sit down!" ”

In the courtyard, the seating order has already been arranged. The position in the middle is exclusive to Yuan Shu, and the seats on both sides are symmetrically distributed along the middle road, with two columns on each side and five seats in each column. Yuan Shu was not allowed to sit down on the desk, and everyone sat down slowly according to the courtesy. Qiao Rui, as the first general, is the chief on the right, and in the same row are Yang Hong and Ji Ling and other military generals. Mrs. Wu sat on the left side, and Sun Ce and Mrs. Wu were side by side, but they did not sit together. It's not that Sun Ce is modest, just because he doesn't dare to face Qiao Rui, he always feels worried in his heart, but he doesn't know why. Zhou Yu was afraid that his identity would be exposed, so he sat quietly in the second seat behind Sun Ce. Seeing this, Sun Quan pulled Sun Shangxiang to sit in the second seat behind Mrs. Wu.

Sitting next to each other, Zhou Yu was busy saluting Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang, and the brother and sister also returned the salute. Sun Quan stared at the iron-faced Zhou Yu thoughtfully: "Has this gentleman ever met a late student?" ”

Zhou Yu lowered his voice and replied hoarsely: "The villain is a newcomer to the young general's door, the Hun Wu Luolan, who has never met Sun Gongzi. ”

Sun Quan smiled indifferently and didn't say anything more. It was Sun Shangxiang who stared at Zhou Yu with wide eyes, and his eyes roamed back and forth on Zhou Yu.

Seeing everyone seated, Yuan Shu held the golden bottle in his hand and slowly spoke: "Today's reunion of the old people is really a lonely blessing. It's just that when I saw my sister-in-law and the children, I couldn't help but think of Brother Wentai, who was really lonely...... I ...... in my heart."

Yuan was choked up, and it was difficult to hold his forehead. Seeing this, all the soldiers hurriedly got up and comforted: "Lord, mourn, lord!" ”

Mrs. Wu also stood up and saluted Yuan Shu: "Five years after Wentai went, the general helped our mother and son a lot, and we are grateful for it. If we meet today, if the general is unhappy, it is not ours. ”

Over the years, the Yuan brothers have been rampant, conquering everywhere, and losing the hearts of the people, but they will occasionally send people to help Mrs. Wu's mother and son, and even Wu Jing's official position in the army can also be taken care of.

Yuan Shu heard what Mrs. Wu said, and hurriedly motioned for her to sit down: "Sister-in-law, don't be polite, don't disturb everyone's interest in eating and drinking because you are lonely." ”

At this time, Lu Meng drove Wu Jing and Xiao Qiao together, and after entering the hall, everyone walked towards Yuan Shu and saluted Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu smiled: "General Wu, I'm going to punish you for drinking today." ”

Wu Jing hurriedly surrendered his hand to make amends: "The subordinates are late, please punish the lord." ”

Yuan Shu laughed: "Don't pretend to be stupid with me, take Bo Fu to the barracks, why don't you explain it to Gu?" This kid was like a divine soldier descending from the sky, capturing Zu Lang alive, which really scared Lonely. ”

Sun Ce immediately got up and excused his uncle: "General, it's Bo Fu who is reckless, I heard that you are crusading against Zulang, so I followed him, and my uncle didn't know about it. ”

Yuan Shu smiled and waved his hand, signaling that Sun Ce didn't have to be nervous, and said to Wu Jing: "I only punish you with a glass of sake, but you will be rewarded with five hundred!" Thank you for bringing Bo Fu to Lonely! ”

I never thought that there would be such a good thing, Wu Jing was stunned for a while, and replied, "Thank you...... Lord ......"

"You don't have to be restrained by rank today, just sit next to your sister."

Wu Jing gave up his hand and stepped forward to sit beside Mrs. Wu. Xiao Qiao sat in the second seat behind Qiao Rui, and Lu Meng was in the same case as Zhou Yu.

I don't know when, the warm wind blows open a room of begonias, the fragrant mist is empty, and it spreads into the glass bottle wine cup with the moonlight. After Da Qiao came, the young strategists and generals in the entire hall were all fascinated and sat down. Sun Shangxiang was originally carefully tearing off the roasted meat on the case and preparing to steal it, but when he saw Da Qiao but forgot to eat it in an instant, he was very excited and said to Sun Quan: "Brother, look!" What beautiful people! ”

Sun Quan's eyes did not stop at Da Qiao, but stared at Xiao Qiao beside her: a pair of big eyes looked forward to shining, her thin lips were slightly pursed and stubborn, her skin was proud and fair, although she was wearing men's clothes, she didn't look like a kid at all, is this Qiao Rui's little daughter?

Da Qiao's seat was diagonally opposite Sun Ce, and Da Qiao raised his eyes to meet Sun Ce's gaze. Different from the admiration or envy of others, Sun Ce's gaze was cold, and there was a bit of predation. Da Qiao's heart was suddenly startled, and he hurriedly turned his head.

It seems that he still remembers the bet between them and is angry about it, but even if she calculates, she has no malicious intent, why would he mind so much?

Xiao Qiao quietly turned around: "Sister, this Mrs. Wu is so elegant, she must have been a great beauty when she was young?" ”

Da Qiao bowed his head slightly: "The charm still exists, and what is even more rare is the clarity between her eyebrows and eyes." ”

At this moment, Yuan Shu suddenly opened his mouth to Mrs. Wu: "Mrs. Sister-in-law, Bo Fu is eighteen years old this year, can you have a marriage?" ”

Mrs. Wu was startled and almost dropped the wine cup. However, Wu Jing reacted faster, got up and arched his hand: "The lord cares, and his subordinates are Uncle Bofu, and thank you on his behalf." It's just that this child has had a lot of ideas since he was a child, so my sister has never married him. ”

Yuan Shu looked at Sun Ce, full of regret: "It's a pity that Lone's daughter is either too big or too young, otherwise I really want to hear Bo Fu call Lone's father-in-law." Mrs. Sister-in-law, General Wu, since we are fated to be here today, Yuan will show off his qualifications and protect a big media for Bo Fu, how about it? ”

Yuan Shu has never loved Zhang Luo, but today, it can be seen that he loves Sun Ce very much. But since Yuan Shu's daughter is not considered, who can get this handsome and brave Ruyi Langjun? Everyone in the hall whispered earnestly, the only person of appropriate age inside and outside this hall was Da Qiao.

Sure enough, Yuan Shu's gaze turned a few times between Sun Ce and Da Qiao, and said to Qiao Rui with a smile: "General Qiao, your eldest girl hasn't decided yet?" I see that Bo Fu and her are talented and beautiful, but they are not ordinary pairs, what do you think? ”

Yuan Shu's voice fell, and there was a wail in the courtyard, only Sun Shangxiang excitedly screamed "wow". Da Qiao was frightened and embarrassed, and in a panic, he happened to meet Sun Ce's eyes, and both of them showed disgust on their faces, and turned their heads to look away.

Hearing Yuan Shu's words, Qiao Rui was speechless for a while. Speaking of Sun Ce alone, he is a talent who is one in a million, although he has no fame now, the future is limitless. But Yuan Shu has always hated being a friend in the army, he loves Sun Ce so much, is he really willing Sun Ce to become the first general's son-in-law?

Just as Qiao Rui hesitated, Sun Ce Huoran stood up, picked up the bottle of wine and drank it all: "General Bo Fu Xie appreciates, but Bo Fu is uninhibited by nature, and what he wants in his life is just a simple-minded woman who knows cold and hot." If it weren't for that, Bo Fu would rather live alone than marry a scheming woman, even if she looked like a fairy, she was worthless in my eyes. Therefore, the general was gracious, and Bo Fu did not dare to bear it, nor did he dare to kiss the big Qiao girl. ”
