The spring night is beautiful, and the flowers are crying in the moon.

Da Qiao tossed and turned, turned over to Na's body, and looked at Sun Ce who was sleeping with his eyes closed on the couch. If I hadn't met him, I really didn't know who I would marry in this life, and I didn't know that the two hearts could be as deep as promised.

But there are far more than the two of them in this world, and there are thousands of things to worry about. After listening to Zhou Yu's words today, she began to worry about her father again, so that she was worried and depressed, and it was difficult to sleep. Sun Ce seemed to be aware of the emotions of the little man beside him, and half-dreamed and half-awakened his way around her slender waist, hugged her thin body into his arms, and asked vaguely, "What's wrong?" Can't sleep? ”

Da Qiao nested in Sun Ce's heart, and replied obediently: "Did you wake you up?" I'm sorry. ”

Sun Ce raised his hand and rubbed his hazy sleepy eyes, and his tone was a little clearer: "A few days ago, my daughter was crying in the middle of the night, and my mother felt sorry for you, so I found a nurse to take care of her, why don't you have a good rest?" Look at the woman next to you, she wants to get fatter after giving birth, but you are thinner, do you want me to die of distress? ”

"I have something on my mind these days, I always can't eat or sleep well, and I will be fine in a few days."

Sun Ce gently patted Da Qiao's thin back, and persuaded with good words: "What's wrong with Ying'er?" But worried about Lord Yue? A few days ago, the scout came to report that everything was fine with Uncle Yue, and his cough was slowly getting better. Now that Gongjin has gone to Niuzhu again, it is convenient to come and go, and Lord Yuezhang will be safer. ”

The night was cold, but Sun Ce's arms were full of warmth, Da Qiao listened to his strong heartbeat, and his mood slowly eased: "You have done a lot for your father, and Lord Zhou is also very dedicated, and Wan'er and I are grateful." It's just that we became relatives, we had children, and my mother-in-law and sister-in-law and uncle treated me very well...... Sun Lang, am I too greedy? ”

"How come, my Ying'er is kind and filial, I always knew that I was also thinking about you because of this, and now I can't be filial to my father-in-law with you, how can I blame you for being greedy?"

Da Qiao heard Sun Ce talk about why he liked him for the first time, and he was shy and curious: "I still remember that you just beat Zu Lang at that time, and General Yuan set up a night banquet in Shouchun, but you said in front of my father, mother-in-law, uncle, sister-in-law and General Yuan, 'Bo Fu would rather live alone than marry a scheming woman, even if she looks like a fairy, she is worthless in my eyes', what ......happened later?"

The dark night hid the two flying reds on Sun Ce's cheeks, and he argued forcefully: "Oh, if I had agreed at that time, you would definitely think that I was greedy for your appearance, and I would not have gotten along with me in the future." ”

How could Da Qiao not hear the embarrassment in Sun Ce's words, and changed the topic without moving: "I often see my mother-in-law love our daughter like this, I think that if my father knows that we have a child, he will be very happy." It's just that I don't know when we'll see each other again, so I'm a little sad, you can sleep, don't worry about me. ”

Sun Ce hugged Da Qiao tighter and sighed: "Yes, it has been two years since I said goodbye to Lord Yuezhang on that day. I plan to find a child to help you send a letter to the Yuan family, and then let him orally relay the matter of our marriage and daughter, so as to inform Lord Yue, once the situation changes in the future, how to deal with it. ”

Da Qiao was hopeful, but he didn't happily agree, and he said after a long while: "Sun Lang has a heart, but where are we going to touch a caring and trustworthy child?" The dumb children in Lord Zhou's mansion know the roots and do their best, but unfortunately they can't speak. ”

"Brother Zibu has recommended a person for me today, and I will have time to see him tomorrow, if it is appropriate, I will tell you again."

Da Qiao sighed at Sun Ce's friendship, and his little head rubbed lightly in his arms: "I know you treat me well, but this matter is very important, and it will affect the whole body, if it is not perfect, there is really no need to risk yourself." ”

Sun Ce is both a lord and a husband, of course, everything he does has his own plans, he is not willing to work hard, bluffing: "Madame is so restless in my arms, and she refuses to sleep, and she won't let us do something else......"

In the end, this trick is still easy to use, Da Qiao blushed and escaped from Sun Ce's embrace, wrapping himself in a brocade quilt: "Okay, I'm sleepy, you can rest early." ”

Sun Ce chuckled and didn't speak again, and it didn't take long for Da Qiao to fall asleep and fall asleep, but Sun Ce didn't feel sleepy anymore, looking at the wooden rafters hanging high above in the shadows.

He knows better than anyone that he has how much he has to give, and if he doesn't put his heart and soul into it, he won't even be able to save his current life. He is the sovereign, but also the son, husband, brother and father, who shoulders the honor and disgrace of life and death of millions of people, how dare he not be unsatisfied?

At night in the West River of Niuzhu, there is no cloud in the blue sky. Zhou Yu came here with a few retinues overnight, and knocked on the door of the garrison with a letter in hand.

More than ten guards respectfully brought the file paperwork, Zhou Yu took it, and said with a smile: "The guards at the checkpoints along the way are very dedicated, and you are managing it properly." ”

"Lord Zhou praised it falsely", and the leader of the general brought a cup of tea, "We are all children of Jiangdong, and we have to do our best for Jiangdong." ”

Zhou Yu took the cup, and when he saw that the cup was not tea, but a small pale pink flower, he couldn't help but wonder: "Dare to ask what is brewed in this cup?" It's very chic. ”

The leader smiled and said: "This is a bowl of flowers, which we have abundant here, and it can prevent malaria." ”

Hearing the word "bowl", Xiao Qiao's bright smile suddenly appeared in Zhou Yu's mind, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously pulled into a smile: "It's really elegant...... I'm late today, you guys have worked hard, if you don't have a duty, go back to the camp early to rest. ”

The generals hurriedly surrendered their hands together, and the leader said to Zhou Yu again: "The people of Chungu County will come tomorrow, and then hand over all the situation in the county to the adults." ”

This time, Sun Ce not only handed over the Niuzhu Fortress to Zhou Yu, but also awarded him the post of Spring Valley Chief. Zhou Yu knew the stakes, so he did his best: "Okay, I will invite them to come here to find me at dawn tomorrow." ”

In addition, the major general also prepared a drum band and presented it to Lord Zhou. The major general said that when adults have leisure, they will always live up to it. ”

Zhou Yu was reading the document seriously, and when he heard this, he was stunned, and immediately laughed: "Okay, I'll personally * them when I have time in a few days." ”

Early the next morning, Zhang Zhao came to the general's mansion with a boy in cloth clothes. Sun Ce was already waiting in the front hall, there was a shaker on his side, shaking from time to time, seeing Zhang Zhao, he couldn't help but be embarrassed, and greeted embarrassedly: "Brother Zibu is here, today my mother took his wife, brother and sister and aunt to the temple to offer incense, this child refused to give the nurse a hug, so I could only coax it." ”

Seeing Sun Ce, who was not suitable for the battle, coaxing the child like this, Zhang Zhao was stunned for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he hurriedly saluted: "Lord, this little boy is what I told you, Lu Xun, the word is ......."

When Sun Ce saw Lu Xun, his expression was complicated, he sighed lightly, and his tone was full of concern: "I knew before that your family had moved to Wu County, how are your days okay?" ”

Lu Xun stepped forward and bit his thin lip and saluted Sun Ce: "Since the death of my grandfather, no one in our clan has come out, and we are often despised by others. If it weren't for you sending someone to take care of it, I'm afraid that Wu County would have no place for us to stand, and I don't know whether to hate you or thank you. ”

Zhang Zhao originally thought that Sun Ce only knew Lu Kang, but he didn't think that he also had an old relationship with Lu Xun, so he pondered for a moment and said to Lu Xun: "Lu Gongzi, tell the young general about you." Lu Xun sighed heavily, and his eyes were red: "A few days ago, a son named Zhang Xiu came to my house with a letter from Yuan Shu, saying that he was ordered by Yuan Shu to take me and my uncle to Shouchun......"

Sun Ce tilted his head and thought about it, and immediately understood Yuan Shu's abacus: "There are four major clans in this Jiangdong, Gu Lu Zhu Zhang. And I already have General Zhu Zhi and Brother Zibu under my account, which is equivalent to having the support of the two major scholars. How did Yuan Shu cheapen me for nothing, and now I am looking for you to come over, it must be to win over the Jiangdong Shi clan, but I remember that your uncle is also the youngest son of Lu Taishou, and he should only be five or six years old, right?

"It is precisely because of this that I asked Zhang Changshi to bring me to meet you. Lu Mou's body is insignificant, but my uncle is the only son-in-law from my grandfather, and my grandfather has the grace to raise Lu, and Lu must not let my uncle be in danger! ”

"You don't have to be too flustered, Lu Taishou and Yuan Shu have a relationship, not to mention that Yuan Shu intends to have a relationship now, it will definitely not harm your lives, it's just ......"

"It's just that it won't hurt my life, but I don't know when I will be able to return to Jiangdong again, if I become a hostage, it will be worse than death. Lu himself is not sorry, I hope that the young general will protect my uncle", Lu Xun said, deeply moved.

The baby girl who was sleeping peacefully in the cradle suddenly cried, Sun Ce had to take her daughter out, and said to Lu Xun while coaxing: "Yuan Shu is looking for someone to pick you up, this time, I'm afraid that it won't work." I know the Zhang Gongzi you are talking about, you can rest assured, even if Yuan Shu really dares to detain people, I have a way to save you. Also, I would like to ask you to help me bring a message to General Qiao Ruiqiao. ”

At the moment, there was no other way but to ask Sun Ce for assistance, Lu Xun agreed, listened to Sun Ce's instructions, and went home to prepare. Zhang Zhao didn't leave, he relaxed a little and sat on the soft seat on the left side and asked Sun Ce: "The lord seems to have a lot of pity for this child, isn't it because of his grandfather?" ”

"Although the soldiers have met each other, I do admire Lu Tai's high righteousness. However, the reason why I pity this child is because when I see him, I always think of Gongjin back then. When I first met Gong Jin, he was a few years younger than Lu Boyan, and he was also so handsome. I hope that Lu Boyan can be like Gongjin in the future, and be open-minded. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Zhao stroked his beard and smiled: "Lujiang produces talents, and it is even more rare that the lord knows people and makes good use of them." Sun Ce hugged the child, it was difficult to start, and motioned Zhang Zhao to pour tea and drink it by himself: "Speaking of acquaintances, I am really relieved to hear that you and General Cheng have all their previous suspicions and get along well." In addition, Brother Lu Zijing is doing things properly, right? ”

"General Cheng is not from Jiangdong, and he is slightly questioned because he is a loyal young general. After this incident, I not only did not think he was bad, but I felt that he was loyal and commendable. As for Lu Zijing, he does have a strategy, and over time, he will be regarded as a big tool. ”

Sun Ce was very happy when he heard Zhang Zhao say: "Brother Lao Zibu is bothered, it's not early, stay for lunch and then leave." ”

In the afternoon, the warm sun is slanting westward, everything is sleepy in spring, and even the swallows under the eaves are staring at each other, faintly making the sound of "cooing", and they are drowsy. Xiao Qiao was full of energy, and Sun Quan helped him move a huge pear wood box. Sun Quan, like his brother Sun Ce, was eight feet long and tight, but he was so tired and out of breath that he was tired from carrying this box, he raised his wide sleeves to wipe his sweat: "Little Qiao girl, what do you put in this box?" Why is it so heavy? ”

Xiao Qiao scratched his head embarrassedly and handed over a cup of tea: "The left is just some military books and piano scores or something, I want to read it recently, thank you Sun Gongzi." ”

Sun Quan guessed that Xiao Qiao would be like this for Zhou Yu, and sneered: "That girl looks good, Sun said goodbye." Xiao Qiao flipped through the score, answered absentmindedly, and raised his hand to close the wooden door. She knows this palace merchant and can play the piano, but her skills and feelings are far from Zhou Yu. Thinking of this, Xiao Qiao's mind came to Zhou Yu's indifferent and ambitious appearance when she stroked the qin, her apricot eyes widened, but her little face involuntarily turned red.

The girls in other people's homes are all daughters, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is different, and she is the most good at flying stones. But since he told him that he wanted to become a better girl, he couldn't break his promise, so Xiao Qiao walked to the wooden table and sat down cross-legged, and studied the music carefully with his cheeks.

This Xiao Qiao stopped, and Sun Ce rushed back to the room again, rummaging through the cabinets, as if he was looking for something. Da Qiao coaxed her daughter to take a nap, returned to the room, and before she could ask, she saw Sun Ce striding over, grabbed her hand, and asked urgently: "Ying'er, have you seen a bag of tricks, I brought it from Lujiang." ”

Da Qiao stepped forward to open the makeup box, pulled out the bottom drawer, took out the bag and handed it to Sun Ce: "I picked it up when I was packing up my baggage before, I guess you should be useful." ”

Sun Ce couldn't wait to take it and open it, took out a piece of paper that had turned yellow and old, opened it, and his face instantly sank.

Da Qiao was puzzled, held Sun Ce's hand, and said worriedly: "Sun Lang ......"

Sun Ce came back to his senses and handed the paper in his bag to Da Qiao. Da Qiao took it and was very surprised: "This is?" ”

"When I broke Shucheng back then, Lu Taishou gave it to me and asked me to open it when I left Lujiang. At that time, the Yuan family was pressing step by step, how difficult it was for us to go all the way to Jiangdong, you know, I forgot about this stubble, and I remembered it again when I saw Lu Taishou today. ”

Da Qiao's little hand trembled lightly, trying to calm down as much as possible: "In this way, the murder of my father-in-law and the abduction of Wan'er when I was a child are really related to the Yellow Turban Army......

The Yellow Turban incident was sad, but it couldn't stop Sun Ce's footsteps, and within a few days, he led his troops to attack Yan Baihu and Xu Gong.

Zhang Zhao stayed in Gusu and presided over military and political affairs. At this time, Sun Quan was over fifteen years old, and he began to learn to participate in it, and he liked the honest and honest Zhou Tai very much, so he took Sun Ce alive and died, and kept Zhou Tai by his side.

On the fifteenth day of the month, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao went to Dinghui Temple to offer incense and pray for Sun Ce and Zhou Yu on the front line. Da Qiao's special identity made it inconvenient for many attendants to follow and protect him, so Mrs. Wu ordered Sun Quan to take Zhou Tai and escort the two sisters there.

Dinghui Temple is a new temple, and it has only been built for a year or two. Needless to say, the more difficult the world, the more pious the people worship the Buddha, it is the tenth day of Buddhism, the path in front of the temple is full of traffic, and the treasure hall is full of incense.

Xiao Qiao helped Da Qiao out of the carriage, the two sisters were intimate, whispering to each other, only to hear Da Qiao say: "Wan'er has been boring to study these days, and it is rare to pull you out for a walk, if you are bored every day, I am afraid that you will get sick." ”

Xiao Qiao shook his little head and pursed his thin lips: "Sister, don't say it, I will be annoyed when I say it." It's better to just read, although we haven't gone to private school, and we haven't read less books and Confucian classics, but playing the piano, I may really have no talent. By the way, I heard Mrs. Wu mention it yesterday, saying that the little girl has grown up and wants to give her a milk name, but is it okay? ”

"After thinking about it, there was no good one, and then the mother-in-law said that the child was born on a snowy day, so she was called Concubine Qiong. I thought it was a bit complicated, so I called her Qiong'er. ”

Xiao Qiao tilted his head and thought about it, covered his mouth and smiled: "After hearing this name, I feel that my niece, I will definitely be able to get a wishful husband in the future." ”

"Your little aunt hasn't come out of the cabinet yet, why did she start arranging Qiong'er?"

The two sisters talked and laughed, shuttling through the crowd, Sun Quan and Zhou Tai followed closely behind. Zhou Tai knew that he had a heavy responsibility, and he was very vigilant. Needless to say, Sun Ce was fighting on the front line, and all they had to do was to do their best to protect his wife and daughter.

Xiao Qiao folded his hands, knelt in front of the Buddha statue, and silently made a wish: I hope that his father, brother-in-law and Zhou Yu are all well, if the Buddha blesses, Zhou Yu can like to change himself for the better. Thinking of this, Xiao Qiao frowned, feeling that he was still too greedy, afraid that the wish would not work, so he hurriedly pleaded with the Buddha, and it was more important to keep the three of them safe.

Er Qiao's appearance was too eye-catching, even in the pure place of Buddhism, it also caused a commotion, but the two of them didn't notice it, and devoted themselves to worshipping the Buddha and praying.

Sun Quan and Zhou Tai were waiting on one side, and when they saw that they had finished worshiping the Buddha, they went to the tethered place together to pull the horses out of the cart. Who knew that in this short blink of an eye, there were several gangster-looking men, and Jiao'er Langdang stepped forward and blocked the way of the sisters.

Xiao Qiao is naturally not easy to bully, and as soon as he flicked his wide sleeves, a few stones flew out and hit a few people. There was a groan from the crowd, and Little Joe pulled Big Joe and ran, but before he could take two steps, his embroidered shoes stepped on the hem of his skirt, and his feet slipped and almost fell. Several thugs took the opportunity to catch up again, and Xiao Qiao hurriedly shouted Sun Quan.

Sun Quan heard the call and hurried back, but the others were under the hundred-step stone steps, unable to fly with wings, and were blocked by the crowd, unable to see anything clearly, and were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

Seeing that Deng's hand was about to grab Da Qiao's shoulder, suddenly a handsome young man stepped forward, waved away the salty pig's hand, and angrily reprimanded: "In broad daylight, what do you want to do!" ”

said that it was too late, that time was fast, Sun Quan and Zhou Tai rushed over, and with Zhou Tai there, they subdued this blind stream in three or two clicks. It's just that Sun Quan didn't know the cause and effect, thinking that this young man was also an accomplice of the blind stream, and he hit him when he came up, and the young man was stunned and immediately hidden, but where was Sun Quan willing to follow, he raised his hand and slapped it straight at the man's heart.

Xiao Qiao took care of Da Qiao, and when he saw Sun Quan like this, he hurriedly stopped him, but before he could shout "She is a woman", he saw Sun Quan slap his palm on the man's heart.

Sun Quan was obviously stunned for a moment, and before he came back to his senses, he slapped his handsome face, and then he saw the appearance of the person in front of him, bright and bright, very charming, and clearly a girl dressed as a man. Sun Quan was about to open his mouth to apologize, but he saw that the girl was biting her thin lip and her eyes were red, and she quickly ran down the hundred-step stone steps.

Seeing this, Sun Quan said to Da Qiao: "Sister-in-law, please go back with Zhou Tai, I will apologize", and then flew off the high platform.

The nine strangers on the eighth street of Gusu City were crowded, and Sun Quan rode a high-headed horse, tracing the thin figure. The girl seemed to know that Sun Quan was behind her, and she drilled the path, and as if there was a gust of wind, she disappeared without a trace, and Sun Quan followed with great difficulty until she disappeared in front of a dilapidated mansion.

Sun Quan turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and knocked on the door, knocked for a long time but no one answered, he asked the old woman who was selling the Youth League at the stall next to him blankly: "Mother-in-law, what is the surname of this family?" Why is there no one in the house? ”

The old woman looked Sun Quan up and down, and saw that he was richly dressed, handsome and extraordinary, not like a villain, so she replied: "This person's surname is Bu, he is a mother-in-law with a son and a daughter, and his son is a scholar, and it is said that he wants to participate in filial piety; The daughter was born very beautifully, and the people who said that her relatives are about to break through the threshold, but they haven't chosen anyone yet, are you? ”

Sun Quan arched his hand and replied: "Contemptible Sun Zhongmou, when his brother comes back, I will bother my mother-in-law to help me inform him and ask him to go to General Sun's Mansion in the south of the city to find me." ”

It was the height of summer, and after dinner, Mrs. Wu took her little granddaughter to enjoy the cool in the courtyard. The night of the heavenly steps is cool, a light moon in the river, a little starry, very pleasant, Sun Shangxiang took a fan, sat under the laurel tree and fanned gently, looking at Geng Geng Xinghe seemed to be infinite.

Sun Quan came back from outside, saluted Mrs. Wu, went around to the back of the laurel tree, and pulled Sun Shangxiang's general horn: "What are you doing in a daze?" ”

Sun Shangxiang did not chase Sun Quan as usual, but held his cheeks cowardly, and said angrily: "Why did the second brother go, and he didn't come back for dinner." ”

Sun Quan didn't tell the truth, but said: "Brother's battle report from the front line came, and I read it from Zhang Changshi before coming back." What's wrong with you? Sluggish, but who provoked you? ”

Sun Shangxiang looked at the beautiful silhouette of Xiao Qiao reflected on the window lattice of the wing not far away, and sighed: "Listen, it's Miss Xiao Qiao playing the piano, what do you think?" ”

Sun Quan tilted his head and listened carefully, and tasted carefully: "In terms of skills alone, Miss Xiao Qiao has benefited a lot these days, but we often listen to Brother Gongjin play the piano, which is still a lot worse." "Don't you sound emotionless? How do I feel that every sound is full of emotion......"

When Sun Quan heard this, he raised his hand and patted Sun Shangxiang's little head, and sighed: "You also found out, haven't you?" ”

"Sister Xiao Qiao likes Brother Gongjin, and Brother Gongjin also likes Sister Xiao Qiao, I have already seen it. It stands to reason that I should be a little angry, but I really think that the two of them are a good match, and I also feel pleasing to see them walking together...... Second brother, do you think I'm stupid, according to normal times, shouldn't it be envy and jealousy? ”

Sun Shangxiang's words also hit Sun Quan's thoughts, and he groaned: "Silly girl, you are not stupid, but it shows that you are a generous girl." In this world, fate will always be unpredictable, and being able to know how to dispel unhappiness, not secretly hate, and not be jealous is the real open-mindedness. ”

Although Sun Shangxiang didn't fully understand Sun Quan's words, she knew that Sun Quan was praising her, so she stood up happily, patted the ash on her buttocks, and shook the two cherry red steps and ran forward: "Sister Xiao Qiao, I'm here to play with you!" ”

After a while, the silhouette of the window lattice had a round head with a total horn, Sun Quan raised his eyes to look at the starry sky, his pillow arm leaned on the laurel tree, and the corners of his mouth were filled with a slight smile, and some of the obsessions that had not yet been formed when he was young in his heart disappeared, and he stayed yesterday with the wind.

Tomorrow is a new day, and he will come after all, drink and drink, if it is not predetermined, why bother to stick to it and stop moving?
