Chapter 12 Marriage
"I didn't expect my little sister to be so calm." Hearing the news from the servants, Sun Quan was a little surprised.
"We already know each other, and despite the age gap, it's an acceptable result." Zhou Yu smiled slightly.
The marriage between Lyle and Sun Shangxiang is not the result of free love, not only is Lyle's love not open, but Sun Shangxiang also does not have feelings for a child who is seven or eight years younger than him, and there is no wisdom reduction drama of crying, making trouble and hanging in order to marry Lyle.
Yes, all this is Sun Quan's arrangement. In this era, as a prince, as the head of the Sun family, and as the elder brother, Sun Quan's arrangement can be regarded as an order that cannot be defended, not to mention marrying a ten-year-old child, even if he wants to marry an old man who is about to die, Sun Shangxiang finally has to nod with tears and fulfill the obligations of family members.
Originally, Sun Shangxiang's identity was very suitable for foreign political marriages, but now that Sun Wu is pressing Cao Wei, his territory is no longer limited to the south of the Yangtze River, and he has the potential to unify the country, so he doesn't need to play any political marriage to find allies. The only object of political value outside is Liu Xie, but is this to send Sun Shangxiang to Cao Wei to wait for death, or does he hope that Cao Cao will send Liu Xie to Sun Wu?
Export sales are worthless, so they can only turn to domestic sales, either marry a young famous general, or marry the descendants of famous ministers and generals, and strengthen the bond between monarchs and ministers with kinship, and stabilize the rule of the Sun family.
Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang, and Lyle are the three masters, although the current official position is not high, but Sun Quan values their character and ability very much, and Lyle has entered the marriage list - of course, it is only a candidate, and there are other competitors.
"However, [regard the outside world as a pigsty and feed us Dawu]...... It's a pity that this unicorn only thinks about sailing. "And the reason why Lyle can stand out in the end is the 'colonial policy' that was conveyed to Sun Quan's ears through Sun Shangxiang's mouth.
'Exploitation' is not a new policy, the dignitaries and nobles regard the common people as guinea dogs, scraping the people's fat and living a good life, I don't know how many years it has continued, and the 'colonial policy' only extends the relationship between exploitation and exploitation from home to abroad.
But at a time when the princes of the world are still fighting for the country, Lyle can put forward a 'colonial policy', which shows how big his heart is. His brother-in-law is a hero who sees farther than anyone else and has a bigger heart than anyone else, which is definitely not a bad thing in Sun Quan's eyes.
"......" Zhou Yu was noncommittal when he heard this.
If Lyle hadn't been bent on sailing, hundreds of pirates would not have been able to do anything, and even the actual control of the pirates would have been handed over to the generals assigned by Sun Quan, whether Sun Quan would regard Lyle's foresight as an ambition and take precautions is unknown, and what about 'Qilin'er and 'brother-in-law'.
Although he and Sun Quan can be regarded as monarchs and ministers, his IQ has been online for a long time, and he only regards Sun Quan as a mortal with all common ills, not a perfect monarch who uses people without suspicion.
"Speaking of which, let's take it as a congratulatory gift," Sun Quan, who didn't know Zhou Yu's slander, continued, "Gong Jin, can you arrange a group of shipwrights for him now?" ”
Zhou Yu responded with a smile: "After the start of the Northern Expedition, the role of the sailor is not so great, and it can be completely withdrawn." ”
There is a shortage of craftsmen to build cannons, grindstones, and gunpowder, but there is no shortage of shipbuilders.
Sun Quan nodded and stood with his hands in his hands: "Then, let's see what Lyle will bring us in the future~"

“…………”
“…………”
Lyle sat side by side with Sun Shangxiang on the edge of the bed with a blank expression.
He could wait another four or five years, but Sun Shangxiang couldn't afford to wait, even if he was already engaged, the older unmarried woman would still be laughed at, and the two got married on an auspicious day of the zodiac half a year after Sun Quan made his decision.
Everything is carried out in accordance with the most orthodox "six rites", and all of them are indispensable, such as Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Nazheng, inviting dates, and welcoming in person, and the pomp is also carried out in a big way...... There's nothing to say, adults can do what they say, Lyle is only a pioneer in learning, and can only follow the customs and habits of having no right or wrong at all, advanced and backward.
After a lot of work, it's finally over.
"So ......" After the voices outside were completely silent, Lyle looked at Sun Shangxiang, who was dressed in red beside him, and asked a little stiffly, "County Lord, can I call you 'lady' in the future?" ”
Sun Shangxiang also felt embarrassed, but after all, he had already been mentally prepared, and nodded: "It's okay to call it normally, Xiang, Xianggong." ”
Lyle's body shook and goosebumps arose.
"Poof~" Seeing Lyle's reaction, Sun Shangxiang couldn't help laughing, and the atmosphere in the room relaxed suddenly, "Xianggong, you are shaking like this, it seems that you are dissatisfied with me?" ”
"I'm just not used to it." Lyle also laughed happily, not serious, "The lady is so beautiful, what am I not satisfied with~"
There's no way for my mother to be ugly, but Lyle's aesthetic hasn't been affected.
Sun Shangxiang is not as beautiful as Jiangdong Erqiao, but her appearance is far above the public's face, and she is already the most beautiful woman in the eyes of Lyle, who has seen few beauties, what's wrong with being close to a beautiful big sister?
“…… Ah," added Lyle, with a straight countenance, "but in the presence of my father and mother, I would certainly say that virtue and talent are more important. ”
Take care of the mood of the mother who is not pretty.
"Okay~" Sun Shangxiang smiled, she didn't know that she couldn't be a good wife and mother, and she didn't mind whether her father-in-law was beautiful or not.
Lyle rolled his eyes, moved to the side, came to Sun Shangxiang's side, poked his head out and asked, "By the way, since you are my wife, can I do something that can only be done by husband and wife?" ”
Sun Shangxiang glanced at Lyle and said speechlessly: "...... Xiang Gong guesses he will have to wait a few more years, right? ”
Even if Lyle is talented, doing this kind of thing too early is not good for the body, and the marriage must be concluded early, but the matter of the husband and wife can only be postponed.
"Isn't it okay to cuddle and hug?" Lyle was devastated and devastated.
"This ...... Naturally, yes. Sun Shangxiang's face flushed, even if they couldn't do Zhou Gong's courtesy, they still had to share the same bed, how could they not do intimate actions at all.
"What about kissing?" Lyle's face was overjoyed.
“…… You can also. Sun Shangxiang subconsciously replied, but immediately realized that something was wrong, "Slow, who taught you this kind of thing?" ”
"Captain." Chest.
............ "Okay, Sun Shangxiang knows."
"That's right, that's right!" Lyle lowered his voice and asked, "Is it true that the captain said that after becoming a husband and wife, you won't whip me if I strip naked?" ”
"............" Sun Shangxiang decided, and later saw Gan Ning to death.
