Chapter 34: Living Up to the Lovesickness (2)
Xiao Qiao never had the luxury of saying these things to her. Over the years, his first wife has been his Lei Chi, and he has kept her firmly in his heart and not let others touch him. Xiao Qiao was ignorant when she was a child and didn't care, but when she grew up, she got used to it, but if she didn't mind it at all, she would naturally be self-deceiving, but she didn't expect that Zhou Yu would take the initiative to talk to her.
Zhou Yu's clear and firm eyes locked on Xiao Qiao's shadow, and he slowly spoke: "When I was married before, I was not yet sixteen years old. At that time, he only thought about making contributions, and he was naturally very reluctant to this marriage. But my first wife was a very gentle, kind and measured girl, who loved poetry and books, and had no quarrel with the world. In the eyes of others, we are a natural couple, a perfect match, but she was born with a deficiency disease, and when she passed the door, her body was already very bad, but she did not forget her responsibilities because of this, and still treated her gently, and put the house in order......"
When Xiao Qiao heard these words, his heart was sour, and he turned away uncomfortably: "Everyone is beautiful, and they are really very virtuous." ”
Seeing Xiao Qiao like this, Zhou Yu actually wanted to laugh, pulled her little hand to her lips and kissed it, and sighed in a low voice: "Don't worry, I haven't finished my words yet." Not long after she passed the door, I caught up with my father and cousins who died of illness one after another, and I helped Ling back to Lujiang, but before she arrived at the nest, she died...... To be honest, I still feel very uncomfortable thinking about it now. For a long time, I just wanted to help Bo Fu get back his father's soldiers, and later I really became a general, and I also wanted to take the common people in the world as my own responsibility. During that time, I suppressed all my desires, only thought about conquering the world, and tried my best to restrain my heart for you...... But, Wan'er, I still lost, I, Zhou Gongjin, lived to be in my twenties, and I never lost to anyone, but I lost to you. I want you, I want to be with you, I want to see you every hour of every day, every night. But I'm worried that you're young and ignorant, and I don't want to wait any longer when I'm sure of your heart for me. Maybe there are really a lot of things in life, but what I want most is only you. If it is said that it was the beginning of love, gain and loss, and linger on it for many years, now it is overwhelming and unable to restrain it. So, you don't have to doubt my mind at all, the one who falls deeper than you is my ......"
Hearing this, Xiao Qiao was like drinking cheese wine, drunk and confused. She never told others about it, and even Da Qiao didn't know that in the face of Zhou Yu's admiration, Xiao Qiao was so confused and unconfident. Why can Zhou Yu be considerate of her thoughts so easily, Xiao Qiao's nose was slightly sour, and she tried her best to hold back her tears, but two clear tears still fell suddenly: "Then you...... Since when did it start, ...... to me"
"To be honest, I don't know, maybe it's in Huashan, maybe sooner. Don't blame me for hiding my mind, I'm just a mortal, I've never been so tempted, and I will be confused in the face of such hot emotions...... Wan'er, to tell you the truth, I plan to wait for Bo Fu to defeat Yuzhang, and then lead my troops to garrison Baqiu. I know that you and Madame Joe have a deep sisterhood, but in these troubled times, I must make a difference...... Will you come with me? ”
After listening to Zhou Yu's statement, Xiao Qiao's heart was swept away, and he gently leaned on his arms: "Wherever you go, I will go." ”
"Then I'll ask Bo Fu to prepare for our marriage", Zhou Yu softened his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth were full of joy, "You don't have to have any worries, I will always spoil you." ”
Xiao Qiao seemed to remember something, pulled Zhou Yu to get up and went to the embroidery case, took off the cut clothes, and said with a red face: "I made you a new dress, do you want to try it?" ”
Zhou Yu took the clothes, looked at the delicate and delicate stitches, his heart warmed, but his movements were a little hesitant: "Try here?" Even...... It's not good. ”
The flush on Xiao Qiao's cheeks was even worse, and he looked at the apricot eyes: "Who, who let you try it here." It's done anyway, you just take it away. ”
Xiao Qiao's shy appearance was really cute, Zhou Yu raised her hand and pinched her little face, and said in a low voice: "Then I will leave first today, and in a few days, I will marry you." ”
Xiao Qiao became more and more shy, and let out a soft "um", which was counted as an answer. Seeing that Xiao Qiao finally let go, Zhou Yu's heart fell to the ground, kissed her white and tender forehead heavily, said goodbye with joy, and went back to the front hall to find Sun Ce.
Xiao Qiao watched Zhou Yu walk out of the backyard and disappear from sight, but he still didn't turn back, letting the cold wind blow, flipping his sleeves, and being blown cold.
Seventeen years ago, my mother had a difficult birth because she gave birth to Xiao Qiao, but because she didn't want Xiao Qiao's birthday to be on the same day as her mother's death day, she survived a few hours and waited until she was a child. Now that their father has passed away, they have left a message that their sisters are not allowed to keep filial piety, for fear that they will delay their lifelong events. Xiao Qiao couldn't help but roll down his tears again, raised his eyes to look at the orange-red and magnificent sunset above his head, and whispered: "Father, mother, I'm going to marry Zhou Lang...... I'm really happy, very good, and my sister is also very happy, don't worry......"
With Sun Ce as a guarantee, Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao's marriage is naturally beautiful, but in half a day, it spread throughout Wancheng.
Sun Ce accepted the big Qiao of the country's natural fragrance, and Jiang Zuo Zhou Lang wanted to marry Xiao Qiao, in such a troubled world, it is really rare to have such a romantic story, in the past few days, there are many people who go to Zhou Yu's tent to say goodbye, and they almost have to break through the threshold.
In three days, it will be an auspicious day, Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao are about to get married, and Da Qiao is also sewing wedding dresses for Xiao Qiao every day and night, from morning to night, all the time. That night, Sun Ce and the generals confirmed that the supply of grain and grass was supplied, and it was already the third watch, but he didn't expect Da Qiao to wear white jade-like feet, wearing a thin shirt, and still changing Xiao Qiao's wedding clothes in front of the oil lamp. Sun Ce took off his coat and said angrily: "Why are you disobedient? Sitting barefoot like this, and not sleeping well, do you still want this body? Sun Ce said, rubbing his hands together, stepped forward to carry Da Qiao back to the couch, and warmed her feet in his arms.
Da Qiao had a happy and contented smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Wan'er tried it today, and the sleeve cage was a little unsatisfactory, so I thought about changing it again, and I happened to be waiting for you, who knew that it was so late in a blink of an eye." ”
Sun Ce couldn't bear to reprimand more, sighed, and said softly: "I understand that you feel sorry for your sister-in-law, but you also have to take care of yourself?" You have a body now, you can't eat or sleep well, if you work too hard for your sister-in-law and hurt yourself, don't you make her uncomfortable? ”
Da Qiao pillowed on Sun Ce's shoulder and said coquettishly: "Why is General Sun so verbose now?" I know, I won't do it again, I only have this one sister, and when she marries General Zhou, I can't do my best, you can rest assured. ”
"How's the meal going today? Can I take a break at noon? ”
Da Qiao replied obediently: "I haven't been nauseous these days, I've eaten well, my sleep is shallow, and I'll wake up if I move a little." ”
Sun Ce stroked Da Qiao's lower abdomen, seemed to be teasing and said very seriously: "Good boy, don't make trouble with your mother again, otherwise when you are born, your father will definitely beat your ass......"
Da Qiao couldn't say how funny he was, and his thin shoulders couldn't stop shaking: "Do you know how to fight?" Seeing that you are doting on Qiong'er, you are like flesh and blood, and you don't look like a strict father at all. ”
"Qiong'er is a daughter, so naturally you have to get used to it, if this child is a kid, do you think I will beat him? By the way, Ying'er, if this baby is really a son, how about we name him 'Sun Shao'? ”
Sun Ce ruled Jiangdong, was in a high position, and had many uncles and relatives in his family, so Da Qiao never told him about Qiao Rui's name, for fear that he would be in a dilemma, but he didn't expect him to know.
Seeing that Da Qiao was speechless for a long time, Sun Ce smiled and asked, "What's wrong?" Don't like the name? I think it's good. ”
Da Qiao buried his little head very low, not letting Sun Ce see the tears on his face: "Do you like ...... I just love ......."
The winter in Jiangnan is not as cold as in the north, but it is cold enough to the bone, and in Sun Ce's arms, Da Qiao quickly fell asleep. Sun Ce quietly took off the wedding dress she was holding tightly in her hand and laid her flat on the couch, but she was completely sleepy.
After finishing the marriage between Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao, it won't be long before they will send troops to attack Huang Zu. Killing Huang Zu has been his long-cherished wish for many years, and now that the opportunity is in front of him, he must not let it go easily. But today, he heard a report from his subordinates, saying that he found Changmu Xiu's figure in the direction of Shaxian, but he failed to take it down.
Changmu Xiu and the Yellow Turban Army, as well as Yu Ji, who was trumpeting the Taiping Dao in Wu County, all made Sun Ce angry and uneasy. If you can't catch them all this time, I'm afraid it will become a disaster again in the future, thinking of this, Sun Ce's eyes were full of coldness, which was stronger than the west wind.
In the blink of an eye, tomorrow is the day of marriage, after Xiao Qiao bathed in incense, he sat in front of the dressing table, looking at himself in a daze.
Her waist-length long hair was untied and scattered over her shoulders, making her even more thin and delicate, and pitiful, but her little face was full of clarity and firmness, and a bit of indescribable happiness.
Da Qiao supported his increasingly clumsy body, came in a hurry, and knocked lightly on the door: "Wan'er......"
Xiao Qiao hurriedly got up and helped each other: "Why is my sister here?" If something happens, wouldn't it be nice to have someone call me over? ”
Da Qiao smiled softly and patted Xiao Qiao's little hand: "It's okay, you get married, my sister is happy, and it's good to walk around." ”
Xiao Qiao held Da Qiao's arm tightly, and said: "I will rely on my sister after I get married, my sister doesn't want me......
"You girl, you're going to be a *son, why are you still so childish", although Da Qiao said, he was still reluctant to Xiao Qiao in his heart, "Although I know that General Zhou will treat you very well, our sisters have never been separated...... Wan'er, you must live better than your sister, so that I can rest assured. ”
Xiao Qiao knew that Da Qiao was pregnant, so he should not be emotional, so he forcibly suppressed his reluctance, and said to Da Qiao with a smile: "Sister, don't say that, when my brother-in-law and Zhou Lang go to fight Sha Xian, I still have to accompany my sister back to Gusu, and our sisters will be together for a lifetime." ”
Da Qiao burst into tears and laughed, and raised his hand to brush Xiao Qiao's long hair: "You, don't talk like a child anymore, you, do you know what it means to be married?" ”
For the marriage of Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao, Sun Ce specially ordered someone to open a new mansion not far from the old mansion of the Qiao family, which was exquisitely decorated and warm, and it took a lot of effort.
At night, Zhou Yu was busy with the affairs of the army, and first returned to the mansion to prepare, holding a stack of Sun Ce and his documents in his hand. Tomorrow is the date of his marriage to Xiao Qiao, Sun Ce has deliberately cut his affairs recently, and asked Lu Fan and others to help him a lot, how could he specially give him this stack of books today?
Thinking of the thief smile on Sun Ce's face, Zhou Yu felt more and more suspicious, and only then did he enter the study and sit down, he opened it and took a closer look, only to see that the pictures of men and women on it were clear and unsightly, and he was angry and funny for a while, and threw them aside.
But thinking of getting married tomorrow, he does have a headache: a few years ago, when Da Qiao gave birth to a daughter, Xiao Qiao cried and said that he would not have children in this life, but he promised like a ghost, and now he is really in a dilemma by putting himself here.
