Chapter Ninety-Eight: Recruitment

While the two were talking, the step trainer walked up with a pastry, looked at them with a smile on his face and said: "Husband, Brother Gongjin, you are tired of discussing state affairs, this is the osmanthus cake made by the trainer himself, eat a little to relieve your fatigue." ”

Sun Quan took her to sit down beside him intimately, and said softly: "You are still the most considerate." ”

When Zhou Yu saw her coming, he was inevitably a little cramped, got up and said, "It's not early, Zhou Yu will retire first." ”

"Gong Jin," Sun Quan hurriedly called him, "The trainer is not an outsider, why do you want to see outsiders like this?" ”

Zhou Yu hugged his fists and said: "The lord misunderstood, it is Zhou Yu who does have other things to deal with, you might as well taste the craftsmanship of the trainer's sister another day."

Without waiting for Sun Quan to answer, he retreated.

The disappointment in the trainer's eyes flashed, and then he regained his composure.

Sun Quan picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth, and praised it repeatedly: "It's sweet and delicious, and the craftsmanship of the concubine is good."

The step trainer smiled softly: "As long as the lord likes it, the concubine body can be made for you every day."

"Eh, eat all day, that's not greasy."

She was silent for an instant, and her eyes fell on the box on the ground next to her, where there were a large number of letters, each of which read "Gongjin personally opened".

"What is this?" The trainer asked, feigning curiosity.

"Oh, it's all a letter from Mrs. Qiao to Gong Jin."

Her face was full of surprise, and she smiled and said, "Written so much? It's all piling up! ”

Sun Quan shook his head: "But it's strange to say, Gong Jin hasn't read a single one." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Why? ”

"I guess that eighty percent of these family letters are urging him to return home, and Gongjin may also know about it, so he is too lazy to read it."

The foot trainer didn't think so, she had already captured some information, but she avoided mentioning it again.

A few hours later, Zihua Palace

A maid quietly presented a letter, "Mrs. Bu, the thing has been obtained." ”

The step trainer took the letter that read "Gong Jin personally opened" and looked at her vigilantly: "No one found out, right?" ”

"It was Father-in-law Lu who took it personally, don't worry, madam."

She nodded, "Stand down." ”

After retreating left and right, the step trainer tore off the head, opened the few pieces of letterhead written neatly in small letters, and looked at it, the content was so strong that she didn't relax for a long time......

In the following month, Zhou Yu was busy recruiting wise men for Sun Quan, and first recruited Zhuge Jin, Lu Xun, Xu Sheng and others; Sun Quan sent LΓΌ Meng to Huiji to exterminate Shanyue, and won a complete victory, capturing 6,000 of his troops in one fell swoop and collecting more than 10,000.

The letters were like stones in the sea, and he hadn't seen Zhou Yu for more than a month, so Qiao Wan gradually stopped writing to him, and even kept his name silent.

Qiao Cong didn't worry about his sister, but he came to visit every day, and tried his best to make her happy, she would laugh and play with him on the surface, but he could see that she was actually not happy at all in her heart.

On that day, she suddenly mentioned: "Brother, you can also teach me some medical skills." ”

"Why do you suddenly want to learn this?"

"I just think that there are too many poor people in this troubled world, their relatives are separated, they are poor, they are sick and have no medical treatment, and I want to do something for them."

"You're thinking too much, how could Gong Jin agree to let you show up and go to the refugee slum to practice medicine?"

Qiao Wan lowered his head and said with some sadness: "He doesn't care anymore." ”

Qiao Yan pondered for a moment and asked, "Sister, what's wrong with you and Gong Jin?" He didn't dare to ask before, thinking that it was a matter between the two of them after all, but looking at this situation, the relationship between the two people was only afraid that it would become more and more estranged.

She shook her head and refused to say anything.

"There's a question my brother wants to ask you."

"What?"

"Zhou Yu treats you like this, do you still love him?"

Qiao Wan was silent for a long time, but he didn't answer the question: "I made a mistake." ”

"What kind of fault?"

She shook her head: "Brother, I don't want to say it. ”

……

Qiao Yan sighed, "Okay, I don't care much about your affairs, I'll bring you a few medical books tomorrow, you can take a look first and pass the time." ”

It was not trivial to learn medicine from him, he studied under Hua Tuo, and taught her that she had to ask his master for his old man's consent. But he didn't mention it on a whim, and sent it away with a few simple medical books.

At this time, in Jiangdong, how many people wanted to take advantage of Sun Quan's opportunity to recruit wise men and find ways everywhere in order to enter the political arena, but Sun Quan advocated meritocracy, and rejected all those related households.

On this day, the sky was clear and the wind was clear, and the Zihua Palace, which was gentle and smooth, received a letter from Buqi again, and asked his daughter to help Zhang Luo and his career as before.

After only a few lines, the trainer threw down the teacup and knocked it on the case with a "bang".

Sun Quan already clearly hated the related households, but his father still had to hit this muzzle himself, stupid and reckless, and dragged himself into the water.

The maids on the side hurriedly persuaded: "Madam, don't be angry, be careful of the dragon in your belly!" ”

The trainer unconsciously stroked her slightly convex lower abdomen, yes, she was already three months pregnant. But Sun Quan's favor for her has long been obviously not as good as when she first came, and there are so many women in the harem, beautiful Mrs. Wang, smart Mrs. Xu, and coquettish Mrs. Xie.

"Madam, the slave has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." It was the maid who delivered the letter that day.

"You just say it."

The maid winked at her, and she pulled everyone around her back.

The maid said: "Madam, since ancient times, the interests of the harem and the previous dynasty have been linked, in fact, the matter of Zhang Luo Shitu for the old man is also related to your own honor and disgrace, you must not despise it." ”

"I don't know, it's just that I don't have a better way now, the lord's gun can't be hit, and Gongjin's father has also begged, and it seems that there is no follow-up," she was a little sad, "I can't say anything in front of Gongjin's brother." ”

The maid shook her head mysteriously and smiled: "In addition to the lord and the governor, there is another person who can control the state affairs of Eastern Wu and promote the virtuous and capable." ”

She thought for a moment, "You mean, Kunita?" ”

"Exactly, as long as the lady can please her old man, it will be easy to give the master an official position."

The step trainer smiled, "You girl has a really big appetite, the country is majestic and upright, and she has no desires, but it is more difficult to please than the first two." ”

"No, no, no," the maid was confident: "It's just that people who won't vote for what they like, there are no people who have no desires and no desires, and the trump card in your hand, madam, is exactly the gift that Guotai needs." ”

The foot trainer savored the deep meaning of her words, and suddenly realized: "Could it be, Mrs. Qiao's family letter?!" ”
