Chapter 25: The Past
Qiao Wei left the main seat, and when he saw him come in, he got up lightly and said hello: "Please sit down."
Zhou Yu only sat down on her desk, and was about to speak, but Qiao Wei rushed to say: "When I finish talking about Guan'er, I will give you an explanation for your brother's matter."
Zhou Yu took a sip of the tea in front of him, lowered his eyebrows and said nothing.
Qiao Wei poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip slowly, and said lightly: "Three years ago, Sun Ce led his troops to attack Huiji and killed my father."
Zhou Yu raised his eyes to look at her, but saw that she was light and light, as if he had already let go.
Qiao Wei saw that he was not surprised, so he continued: "You must have found out all this, I already had a marriage contract with Guo Jia at that time, and he came to pick us up after the accident."
Zhou Yu was puzzled: "Why didn't you take your mother and brother and sister with you at that time?"
Qiao Wei lowered his eyebrows and sighed slightly: "At that time, on the way to escape, the carriage of the three of them fell off the cliff, and I thought they were all gone."
With that, she smiled sarcastically, poured a glass of wine from the flask, and drank it all.
"From that time on, the purpose of my life was to avenge my family." She drank so quickly that she almost choked.
After a little relief, she continued: "Guo Jia and I fled all the way to Xuchang, and did everything possible to get acquainted with Xun Yu
He recommended it to Cao Cao, who liked him very much and wanted to marry his daughter to him. β
Zhou Yu also took a sip of wine, Guo Jia's wife is indeed Cao Cao's youngest daughter.
She still said with an indifferent expression: "He told me that if you marry Cao Cao's daughter, you will have the opportunity to avenge me." But three years have passed, he is busy with his career, as if he has long forgotten about it, last winter, he suddenly said to me let me go to Sun Ce's side to do his fine work, waiting for the opportunity to move. β
Speaking of this, a rare ripple appeared in her eyes, and she fell into a deep memory.
Last winter, Sun Ce broke through the city of Anhui and was hand-picking supplies in the city.
There seemed to be an argument not far away.
"I have two chickens missing, did you steal them?" A middle-aged woman reasoned with a soldier in her arms.
"Nonsense, the general has an order, and there is no crime in the autumn after entering the city, otherwise it will be killed, who would dare to steal your chickens." The soldier firmly denied it.
"I saw you take my chickens, and he'sβ" said the woman, pointing sharply at a small soldier, "and that's what he did." β
The little soldier bowed his head weakly and said nothing.
Seeing this, Sun Ce hurriedly walked over.
"Zihu, what this aunt said is true?" He asked the little soldier directly.
Zihu fell to his knees with a thud, trembling and said: "I didn't know that the chicken belonged to the aunt, the chicken was hanging out in the middle of the road, and it was not kept in captivity, so I thought it was raised by no one so I ......"
"Our army has strict military discipline, and after entering the city, it is not allowed to slaughter innocent people, nor is it allowed to plunder the property of the people, otherwise, it will be dealt with by military law." Sun Ce said coldly.
"I know it's wrong, beg the general to spare his life, beg the general to spare his life!" The soldier, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, wept loudly when he heard this, and was very pitiful.
"Zihu, the military law is strict, and it doesn't talk about human feelings. Mistakes should be punished. Sun Ce sighed slightly.
"Mother, mother, the chicken has been found." A curling figure trotted out of the courtyard.
Only glanced at her, and Sun Ce never took his eyes off again.
She was dressed in pink, her black hair hung down her waist like clouds, and a few strands of hair hanging down her face swayed from side to side with her steps, smart and delicate. There is a natural three-point sadness between her eyebrows, her temperament is elegant and dusty, cold and not blasphemous, but her eyes are shining and shining, with the sunny state that a girl of this age should have.
"Mother, there are a lot of chickens in the cage, you counted wrongly, this little brother didn't steal our chickens." She gasped slightly and said eagerly.
"Go back to meβ" The woman was anxious when she saw that all the men present were staring at her, her eyes straight.
She didn't care about everyone's malicious eyes, and said directly to this leader-like figure: "This little brother didn't take anything from us, please don't kill him."
Sun Ce shook his head and replied to her: "Even if it wasn't the girl's chicken, he did take a chicken on the road."
"If you pick it up on the road, how can you steal it? Not to mention plunder. Which chicken didn't look good and ran to the road, and was picked up by someone to blame anyone. She muttered a small mouth and reasoned with Sun Ce.
"You shut up for me-" The aunt scolded her, and hurriedly gave Sun Ce a smile, "The little girl is not sensible, and I hope the general will not be surprised." β
She was extremely aggrieved, her eyes flashed with tears, and she looked at Sun Ce pleadingly.
It was obviously a cold winter, but at that moment, Sun Ce felt that the spring breeze had blown over the earth and his heart.
He smiled softly at her, "The girl is very right, since others don't want it, naturally it can't be stolen." β
After that, he turned his head to the little soldier and said, "Zihu, thank you girl." βγ
Zihu hurriedly ran over, knelt at her feet and wept: "Zihu thank the girl for saving her life, Zihu is willing to repay the girl by being a cow and a horse." β
She sneered when she heard this, lowered her body to support the crying little soldier, and said softly: "It's okay, remember not to make the same mistake again in the future." β
Zihu looked up in shock, she was looking at him meaningfully.
Zihu desperately stopped crying and solemnly kowtowed to her.
All of this was seen by Sun Ce, and the softest place in his heart was touched by this girl, at that moment, he just wanted to gently hold her beauty, her kindness, in the palm of his hand, and take care of it all his life.
He hugged his fists and said: "In Xia Sun Ce, there is a lot of trouble today, and I hope the girl will forgive me." β
She raised her head and smiled brightly at him, "I have long admired the general's name, the general is strict in governing the army, and he has not committed any offence against the people, and the little woman respects you very much." β
Sun Ce only felt that his heart was about to melt, and he scratched his head unnaturally, "The girl praised it falsely." β
With that, he smiled softly at her and left.
Qiao Wei was still smiling so sweetly, but her chest was already filled with Tengteng killing intent, she clenched her fists tightly, and her nails were deeply embedded in her palms.
Sun Ce walked back to the place where the supplies were ordered just now, and said to the guard: "That girl just now, who is her surname, her birthday, whether she is married or not, immediately check it out for me." β
When the guards saw that they were so frowning just now, they already knew it in their hearts, and said with a smile: "My subordinates will do it!" β
On the second day, Sun Ce's dowry was delivered to the hospital.
The matchmaker said to the aunt: "Ouch, great joy! General Sun Ce fell in love with your girl yesterday and wanted to take your girl as a concubine. β
The aunt also pretended to hesitate reluctantly: "My girl is too wronged to be a concubine?" β
The matchmaker smiled and said: "General Sun already has a main house, besides, if your girl marries an ordinary family as a wife, it is better to be General Sun's concubine, and she will be favored in the future and enjoy endless glory and wealth for a lifetime." β
The aunt also smiled: "What you said is also reasonable, but I am really a little reluctant to have such a daughter as Wei'er." β
"Where is this, the male should get married, the female should be married, General Sun is handsome and chic, young and promising. You should be glad that your daughter has found such a good home. The matchmaker really couldn't get used to her coquettish look.
The aunt thought for a long time, and said, "Since this is the case, it is also a good marriage." β
The matchmaker smiled: "That's right, three days later, it will be a good day and an auspicious day, please prepare the girl, and when the time comes, the general's sedan chair will come to pick up the girl." β
The aunt smiled: "We know, it's hard matchmaking." β
After the matchmaker left, Qiao Wei walked out of it, looked at the ten cars of dowry, and sneered in his heart, it seems that he still made a bloody investment this time.
The aunt saluted her: "Congratulations girl, your wish has come true." β
