Chapter 174: Thinking in the Long Term

"You're running away from home again?!"

"I can't help it, who let that Zhou Xiaoren want to send me back to Chaisang, I have always regarded him as a brother, I didn't expect him to be this kind of person!!"

Zhou Gongjin is elegant and elegant."

"Tall, he's a little bit of a little eye."

Na, na, Zhou Gongjin, this is not what I said, it was your father-in-law's sister who said it.

However, there is no point in discussing the question of whether Zhou Gongjin is cautious now, so Zhang Xi should hurry up and write a letter to Zhou Yu.

What's this called?

But as soon as Zhang Xi said that he would write a letter to inform Zhou Yu, Sun Shangxiang was suddenly unhappy again.

"What are you doing?! Even Ling wants to betray me and send me back to Chaisang?! ”

"It's not. Miss Sun, we have to be reasonable, right?! ”

Zhang Xi is also helpless, this eldest lady is really, she doesn't know anything first, and she likes to think about the worst.

Sun Shangxiang was not happy when he heard this.

"You've wronged me again, haven't you?! Where am I being unreasonable again?! Sun Shangxiang asked directly.

When he asked this, Zhang Xi almost took a sentence that shouldn't have been said.

Fortunately, I held back.

"Now, let's think about it calmly." Zhang Xi first signaled Sun Shangxiang to calm down, and then said, "Do you think that with Zhou Gongjin's shrewdness, you really deceived Zhou Yu and ran out of Jiangling City?!" ”

When Sun Shangxiang asked this, Sun Shangxiang was a little vague.

"Probably so."

Sun Shangxiang himself has no confidence in what he said, after all, since he was a child, he has never seen Zhou Yu deceived by others.

And this time, my own sneaking away was indeed a little too smooth. I didn't encounter any trouble along the way, not to mention, even the so-called "chasing soldiers" felt very easy to get rid of.

It's hard to do it. Is it really Brother Gongjin who deliberately let me go?!

Zhang Xi was also speechless at Sun Shangxiang's answer, paused, had to change his angle, and continued, "It doesn't matter if you ran out by yourself or not, but I always sent you to Jiangling, and I also wrote to inform Zhou Gongjin." Now, if I don't tell Zhou Gongjin, I will really be investigated in the future, and I will inevitably be charged with "ulterior motives". ”

What is "ulterior motives"! Sun Shangxiang's little face was a little red, and he said emphatically, "It's because I really don't have a place to go, so I came to seek refuge with friends, don't worry, I will explain it clearly in the future." ”

"I can't explain it, my eldest lady!" Zhang Xi was really helpless.

I could explain it when I sent it back, but now, I can't explain it at all.

This eldest lady doesn't have any awareness of this at all, so let's just make it clear to her.

"Miss Sun, Zhou Gongjin knew about the Jiangling I sent you at the beginning, and if you ran out, there is a high probability that Zhou Gongjin acquiesced. So in fact, you are here with me, and Zhou Gongjin also knows. I wrote this letter, it was above board, and if I didn't write it, it would have ulterior motives. ”

"You yourself know that now that Sun Liu has formed an alliance, your brother has the intention of marrying my father-in-law. I won't hide it from you, I went to the mouth of the oil river this time, and it was the lord who summoned me to ask for my opinion on marriage. As the object of marriage, you don't stay in Chaisang, you don't stay in Gangneung, but you hide in my mansion, have you ever considered what your reputation will become if this matter is revealed?! And how awkward does my position have to be?! ”

Of course, there is a more important matter, because it is related to the internal secrets of Liu Bei Group, Zhang Xi is not good to tell Sun Shangxiang directly.

Zhang Xi was clearly opposed to the marriage with Jiangdong at the military meeting at the mouth of the oil river.

If Sun Shangxiang hadn't come to find him, Zhang Xi would still be a public spirit, thinking about the future of Liu Bei Group.

But now that Sun Shangxiang has come to find him, he still has to live in his own house, if Liu Bei knows about this, what will he think?!

This Zhang Xi prevented himself from marrying Sun Shangxiang, did he have some ulterior secrets with Sun Shangxiang? !

In case Liu Bei felt that his head was green. That brook can't be unjustly killed!!

After thinking about it, Zhang Xi felt that it was impossible to hide this matter at this point now.

"I must write this letter, not only to Zhou Yu, an uneasy and kind-hearted fellow, but also to the lord to explain everything. By the way, tonight you will move to General Guan's Mansion to live, and others in the province will gossip. General Guan is the righteous brother of the Lord, and his reputation is famous all over the world, and if he takes care of you, whether the marriage is successful or not, it will be good for your reputation."

Before he finished speaking, Sun Shangxiang rushed out of the door.

Sun Shangxiang really couldn't listen to it, Zhang Xi was also like Zhou Yu, and he wanted to throw himself out like a burden.

Since the result here is the same, it's a big deal, just wander the world.

Anyway, she won't marry Liu Bei if she is killed.

Sun Shangxiang is very aggrieved now, she feels that none of her relatives and friends are on her side.

Zhang Xi saw that Sun Shangxiang was leaving, and hurriedly beckoned Xiao Qibao to stop him. If a person loses it on his territory, then whether it is Zhou Yu or Sun Quan, they can eat him alive.

Sun Shangxiang didn't have the ability to overturn ten people at once, and was finally stopped in the courtyard by Xiao Qibao in time.

Zhang Xi hurriedly followed, with a bitter face, and said to Sun Shangxiang, "My eldest lady, can't you calm down a little and listen to me finish speaking?!" ”

"What else is there to say?!" Sun Shangxiang turned his head, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Whether it's you, the second brother, or Zhou Gongjin, they all want me to get married, haven't you considered my feelings?!" ”

Well, this one. Sorry.

It's not that I haven't thought about it, the main thing is that for the two alliances, your personal happiness is really insignificant, forget it, it's really a little unbearable.

Looking back now, the reason why Sun Shangxiang on the historical line was arrogant and domineering and connived at Jiangdong soldiers to run amok is that he has no intention of retaliating and venting his dissatisfaction.

After all, she is the sister of a prince, but she wants to marry a fifty-year-old person at the age of twenty, and the relationship between the two is not harmonious after marriage, Liu Bei would rather entrust all his family mansion to Zhao Yun than to Sun Shangxiang, showing that he does not trust Sun Shangxiang. Ye Shiri also said that the two separated as soon as they got married.

A delicate woman, such a husband who doesn't love her, doesn't love her, and guards her everywhere is really embarrassing for her.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Xi softened his heart a little.

"You calm down first, let's think about it in the long run, okay?!" Zhang Xi could only compromise with Sun Shangxiang for the time being, coax this girl first, and then speak.

Of course, soft-heartedness is soft-hearted, it is related to his future and reputation, Zhang Xi is still very cautious in this matter, and it is impossible for him to suffer injustice because of a moment of soft-heartedness.

Therefore, after persuading Sun Shangxiang to go back to the house and sit down, Zhang Xi still suggested to Sun Shangxiang, "Whether you are friends or not, but you are always a girl, we are lonely men and widows, if you are under the same roof, it will not do you any good for your reputation. You see, you live with me first, and I'll move to the government for a few days, and then make arrangements when your affairs are settled, okay?! ”

Sun Shangxiang did not resist this suggestion, because what Zhang Xi said was indeed right, no matter how the two emphasized that they were friends, from the outsider's point of view, they were lonely men and widows.

It's just that

"Well, you can't write to anyone about what I'm doing with you!" Sun Shangxiang emphasized again and again.

In this regard, Zhang Xi only vaguely agreed.

Then, Zhang Xi instructed Xiao Qibao to vacate the backyard and give it to Sun Shangxiang to live in, so that Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba would take care of Sun Shangxiang's diet and daily life, while Xiao Qibao was responsible for managing the front yard, and no one was allowed to disturb the backyard if there was nothing to do.

After arranging these, Zhang Xi went out again and went straight to Guanfu.

I have to discuss with Guan Yu what to do about this.

Although I promised Sun Shangxiang not to write a letter to tell anyone about her, but I didn't write a letter, I told it in person, it shouldn't be considered a breach of contract, right?!

Besides, some things can be big or small.

Sun Shangxiang's escape from marriage is absolutely not on the table, in case the two families really get married, don't make this matter clear, let alone Liu Bei, it is Zhang Xi, it is estimated that the days on Liu Bei's side will come to an end.

Therefore, this matter is not something that can be fooled by a moment of soft-heartedness, and it must be discussed with someone.

And looking for Guan Yu is the best choice for now.

There is no need to tell the lord Liu Bei directly, which reduces the risk of the lord getting angry.

And Guan Yu, as Liu Bei's brother-in-law, also has a certain right to speak in this matter, tell him, firstly, it is considered to be reported, and secondly, you can also test the position of this matter in Guan Yu's heart.

Of course, Zhang Xi would not be stupid enough to tell the truth, so he told Guan Yu's version and slightly adjusted the logical relationship before and after.

Zhang Xi only said that when he was in Xiaxian County, he accidentally discovered Sun Shangxiang's true identity, and after learning that she was going to Jiangling, he sent Sun Shangxiang to Jiangling by going to Youjiangkou to participate in the military conference.

It wasn't until the time of the military discussion that Zhang Xi knew that Sun Shangxiang was Liu Bei's marriage partner, and now, this marriage partner was not good to stay in Jiangling City, but he came to find him and lived in his mansion.

And after Guan Yu listened to Zhang Xi's story, his eyes widened, and he could eat Zhang Xi alive.

This Zhang Yuanchang, don't come to yourself if you have nothing to do, as soon as you come to find yourself, it's such a tricky thing - why do you say you have nothing to do to provoke Jiangdong's little girl?!

Of course, if you look at Zhang Xi's story, Zhang Xi is not wrong.

Knowing the identity of the other party, for the sake of the two alliances, to take care of a little and send people to Gangneung City, it is also considered benevolent and righteous.

After all, according to Zhang Xi, he didn't know that his eldest brother was going to marry Jiangdong at that time.

As for why this little girl suddenly ran to Xiapheasant County, what was the real reason why Zhang Xi opposed the marriage at the military meeting, and why the little girl had already arrived in Jiangling and ran back to Xiakou. If it's not boring, who will believe it!!

Guan Yu looked at Zhang Xi now, and always felt that this kid had a lot of careful thoughts hidden in his stomach.

But it's okay, Zhang Xi finally has a little concept and knows the seriousness of this matter, so he came to discuss it with himself.

Moreover, the matter of the marriage has not yet been finalized, and there should still be a chance to remedy it.

Guan Yu thought about it for a while, first of all, he ordered his daughter Guan Yinping to take a team of maids from the mansion to Zhang Xi's mansion and take over the defense of Zhang Xi's mansion in an all-round way, especially the backyard, and surrounded it solidly.

First, to prevent some "ignorant" people from disturbing Sun's daughter, and secondly, to prevent some gossip, his daughter is here, which is more or less a witness.

Next. It's time to put this guy on trial.

Full of lies, not full of untruths. As soon as you hear it, you know that you are hiding a lot of important information.

I was going to continue grinding it, but since I don't like it, try to end this matter as soon as possible.
