Chapter 11 Stepmother

The happy event happened a month later, in the winter and October of the fourteenth year of Jian'an (209), through Lu Fan as the matchmaker, Uncle Liu Huang married Sun Quan's sister. Sun Quan's sister-in-law is called Sun Ren in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", known as the bow-waisted Ji, and later generations have operas and are also known as Sun Shangxiang. "Three Kingdoms" did not record her name, only "Mrs. Sun". Liu Hou doesn't know what her real name is, anyway, everyone else calls her "Mrs. Sun", but Liu Hou calls her Sanniang, but calls her "stepmother" behind his back.

For Sun Shangxiang, a stepmother, he has no good impression. Although Liu Hou knew that Sun Shangxiang was a beauty, and Liu Hou had always resisted beauties, Liu Hou still had a deep fear of her. Not only because Liu Hou knew that he would be kidnapped by her in a few years, but also because Liu Hou knew that the relationship between her and Liu Bei was nothing more than a political marriage.

Liu Hou didn't believe that they had any real feelings. No matter how fanciful it is written in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Liu Hou doesn't believe how much she loves Liu Bei and how she admires Liu Bei's hero. He suspected that Lao Luo was trying to fool readers by highlighting Liu Bei's heroism.

Just imagine, Liu Bei is a middle-aged uncle who is more than half a hundred years old, the sanitary conditions were so poor in ancient times, and he is already an old man at the age of 50. And Mrs. Sun is still a young girl, and the combination of the two parties is mixed with political factors, and it is unbelievable to say that they have true feelings.

It may not be uncommon for young and old to be matched since ancient times, but most of them happen to people with great social or economic status disparities between the two sides. With Sun Shangxiang, a proud woman-like character, it is not too much to say that she is a princess of a country, and it is estimated that there will be eighty of the young talents pursued around her, and she will fall in love with a middle-aged uncle in his 50s who has been adrift for half a life, whose status and power are far inferior to her brother?

Well, if she is really so heavy-tasted, then let's take a look at the description of "Three Kingdoms": "There are more than 100 servants and maids around her, all of whom personally hold swords and serve, and every time Liu Bei enters the room, he often feels awe-inspiring and frightened in his heart. "See, if she really cared about Liu Bei so much, she wouldn't have made more than 100 maids intimidate Liu Bei with knives and swords every time Liu Bei entered the room. Are you going to have sex with you or are you going to split friends?

In terms of her personality alone, it is said that she is "good at martial arts, extremely brave, and has the style of brothers." Later, when Liu Bei went west, Sun Shangxiang relied on his reputation as Sun Quan's sister, "arrogant and strong, often leading a group of Eastern Wu soldiers to run lawless in Jingzhou." "How can Liu Hou feel like the thirteenth sister of Hongxing?

Later, when Sun Quan sent a boat to welcome her back to Soochow, she went back without hesitation. Go back, go back, and bring Liu Chan back to Soochow, fortunately Zhao Yun and Zhang Feile intercepted the river to recapture Liu Chan. Did she really not know that Liu Chan would be taken back as a hostage? As long as he still has a little affection for Liu Bei, he shouldn't take his son back as a hostage, right?

Liu Hou didn't have a good impression of her, but he was even more disdainful of Liu Bei. In the romance, Mrs. Gan, who had such a good relationship with her, had just died for a month, and she married another woman back. Are the so-called heroes so ruthless? Due to the appearance of Liu Hou, Mrs. Gan did not die, but it is inevitable to stay in bed for a long time, Liu Bei still married a newcomer for the sake of political needs, this happy event once again confirmed Liu Bei's lack of family affection, Liu Hou couldn't help but think of Huang An's song: "Only the newcomer laughs, who hears the old man crying......"

The process of a wedding in the Han Dynasty was complicated, and before the wedding, there were procedures such as Nacai, asking for names, Naji, Nazheng, and asking for dates, and then the main wedding. The basic process of the wedding is divided into personal greeting, bowing ceremony, banquet ceremony, wo yu ceremony, joint bonding ceremony, joint ceremony, untying the hair, holding the hand ceremony, etc. There is also a post-marriage ceremony, also known as the marriage ceremony, its basic process: women see aunts, aunts and uncles, women give aunts, temples see women, etc.

If in the peaceful and prosperous times, as Liu Bei's uncle, it is estimated that the whole process will be carried out for at least three or two months, but Liu Bei is actually a reckless hero, and he is in the flow (there is no real territory of his own, Jingzhou is also borrowed), and even the new lady is half crutched and half snatched back, and the mother-in-law's side also sent chasing soldiers. So a qiē program from the simple.

Here is a brief description of the process of this marriage: As mentioned above, Lu Fan was entrusted by Sun Quan to propose marriage to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei agreed under Zhuge Liang's arrangement. In fact, this was a plan between Zhou Yu and Sun Quan, using Sun Quan's sister as a bait to trick Liu Bei into crossing the river to Dongwu to recruit relatives, wanting to take the opportunity to kill Liu Bei or take him hostage in order to claim back Jingzhou.

Zhuge Liang had already seen through the trick, so he ordered Zhao Yun to accompany and escort Liu Bei, and gave Zhao Yun three tips, which were three strategies: 1. Let Liu Bei meet Qiao Guolao and make a big noise; 2. Falsely reported to Liu Bei: Cao Cao raised 500,000 troops, killed Jingzhou, and asked him to return to meet the enemy quickly; 3. exposed the conspiracy of Sun Quan and Zhou Yu to Mrs. Sun, and asked Mrs. Sun for protection.

As a result, Zhao Yun acted in turn according to Zhuge Liang's tricks, not only helping Liu Bei marry Sun Quan's sister Sun Shangxiang, but also gaining the favor of Sun Quan's mother Wu Guotai. Zhou Yu led people to pursue Liu Bei, but was instead scolded by Zhuge Liang with a sentence "Zhou Lang has a clever plan to settle the world, and he lost his wife and broke his army!" "I was so angry that I vomited blood.

In the romance, this marriage is not like a marriage, but like a special battle, which integrates wits and courage, and integrates spy warfare, action, love, military, family affection, family ethics, and political strategy, which is completely the standard template of 007 films. In the future, there is no need to even adapt, it can be directly remade into a Hollywood blockbuster.

Of course, such a wonderful script was written by Luo Guanzhong, and the real history is not so thrilling and exciting. Anyway, Liu Hou couldn't see these wonderful processes, because he was young, he couldn't follow the greeting team to Dongwu to greet his relatives, and he didn't know if there were so many twists and turns and bizarre stories during the greeting process, but he estimated that he didn't.

What he could see was that Liu Bei welcomed his relatives back to Jingzhou, and a large banquet was held in Jingzhou, and a group of civil and military officials, relatives and friends of the Liu Group attended the celebration, which was a simple wedding banquet. Liu Houming ate all kinds of delicacies at the banquet, but his heart was not calm.

He was more conflicted in his heart, he felt pity for Sun Shangxiang for a while, I heard that she was 19 years old, that is to say, she was only 17 years old, such a young girl, married to a bad old man who was almost 50 years old because of a political marriage, and gave people old cows to eat tender grass, no matter how you think about it, you won't feel comfortable, right?

He sympathized with Liu Bei for a while, and there was a record in both Romance and "Three Kingdoms", saying that this Mrs. Sun placed more than 100 female soldiers with swords and guns at the door of the room, and Liu Bei was scared half to death every time he wanted to enter the room. Liu Hou wondered wickedly whether his cheap dad would be scared. On the night of the candles in the cave room, the Spring Festival was worth a thousand gold and was scared out of it, and it is estimated that it can be selected as one of the four tragedies in life.

After a fierce ideological struggle, in the end, he decided to help Liu Bei. After all, Liu Bei is his cheap father, although he usually doesn't care much about himself, but he still tries to meet his own needs when he needs life, and he also invited a teacher to teach him, which shows that he is not completely indifferent to himself. Besides, for the sake of a big inheritance he left to himself in the future, this Lao Tzu still has to be recognized, and this Lao Tzu's interests still need to be maintained.

In fact, there is another reason that Liu Hou is a little jealous of Sun Shangxiang, because he knows that she will kidnap him in a few years. Although he has Xiao Yunyun's protection and is in danger in the end, this also makes him very unhappy, and if he is unhappy, he has to find a way to get back to the field.

Liu Hou's eyes rolled and he thought about it, so Liu Hou slipped to Zhang Fei, who was drinking. Zhang Fei is well-known for his heavy drinking in the army, and the military advisor Zhuge Liang has repeatedly persuaded him not to change, and he is still secretly drunk in the army in peacetime, but now at the wedding banquet, he still doesn't let go of drinking?

I saw that he was holding a jar of wine in his left hand, stepping on several cases with one foot, and gesturing with a military general with his right hand, shouting the wine order in his mouth. Liu Hou stood next to him and felt his ears ringing. The shock made him squint his eyes, forcibly suppressed the feeling of chest tightness and nausea, stabilized his mind, patted Zhang Fei's left hand holding the wine jar, and called: "Third uncle!" ”

Zhang Fei didn't realize it, he picked up the wine jar and poured it into his mouth, half of the wine went into his mouth, and half of it flowed down the corners of his mouth.

A rain of wine sprinkled down, startling Liu Hou, he hurriedly dodged away, and couldn't help cursing in his heart: "Kao, I want to sue you for making noise, causing me hearing damage, and I want to sue you for throwing garbage everywhere, how bad it is to throw it to children, even if it doesn't throw it to children, it's not good to throw some flowers and plants." ”

Liu Hou found that he was a dwarf with a small voice, light strength, and noisy scenes, and he couldn't attract the attention of Zhang Fei, a big boss. After being depressed for a while, he remembered a bad idea: In ancient times, Sima Guang smashed the cylinder to save people, can't he come to a bucket to smash the cylinder to help his father now? Wait until I smash your most beloved vat, and see if you notice me.

Just do it, Liu Hou picked up a copper wine glass on the case, and smashed it on the wine jar held by Zhang Fei's left hand at once, only to hear the sound of "poof", the wine glass was rebounded back, shaking his hand painfully, and then looked at it, the wine jar was unscathed.

Liu Hou was even more depressed, was he so weak? You can't even smash a wine jar. Not to mention, the ancient tile wine jar was still quite hard, a 2-year-old child, where can he smash a light wine glass, if he changes to a hammer, it is almost the same, of course, the premise is that he can move.

However, Liu Hou's smashing was not without effect, and this sound and vibration finally attracted Zhang Fei's attention. Zhang Fei turned his head, and when he saw that it was Liu Hou, he leaned down, put his bearded black face in front of Liu Hou, grinned and showed a smile that was more ugly than crying:

"It's Xiao Adou, do you want to find your third uncle to drink, come, come, the third uncle teaches you to drink, a manly man, you can't drink if you can't drink."

As he spoke, he brought the jar over the jar. Fortunately, when Liu Hou came over with his black face, he had already jumped away from the smoke of his wine, and now when he saw the wine jar coming, he was so frightened that he jumped away again. I secretly scolded this reckless Zhang Fei in my heart for being unreliable, can a 2-year-old child drink? Pouring two mouthfuls into you won't be a life? The mouth hurriedly said:

"Third uncle, come slowly, come slowly, someone is bullying your brother, you don't care." Liu Hou knew that these three brothers were the most righteous, at least the romance was written like this, so he immediately pointed out the key point: "Someone bullied Liu Bei", hoping to divert Zhang Fei's attention immediately, otherwise he would be entangled and it would be very difficult to communicate with Zhang Fei, and he didn't know when he would be able to explain the problem.

"Who, who, who, who dares to bully my brother! Look at me and slap him into meat sauce! With Zhang Fei's roar, he put the wine jar on the desk, and the chopsticks and dishes on the desk jumped up and down with him. Liu Hou felt that his heart and liver also jumped with him.

Liu Hou calmed down and said: "Third uncle, don't be impatient, this matter is true, you sit down and listen to me." ”

Zhang Fei knelt down and sat down, but he was still much taller than Liu Hou, and Liu Hou, who had no choice but to tilt his head and put his mouth close to his ear, said this and so to him.
