Chapter 032: Eating Melons and Eating Yourself?
"Ling'er is young, if you see the blood stain on your back, you may be frightened and can't sleep, why don't you wait a few more years and then get familiar with the things in the camp?" Chen's beloved son was heartfelt, and hurriedly advised Qiao Rui.
"As the saying goes, a beloved son is like a murderer, since Ling'er was born in my bridge family, sooner or later he will have to get involved in military affairs, what does it matter if he waits or not? Sun Ce was shining in his twenties, and the fierce general was fed with blood. ”
Qiao Rui glanced at Qiao Ling, then pinched the bridge of his nose and shook his head, he took what Yuan Shu told him, and turned his head to deal with Chen.
"A talent like Sun Bofu is difficult to find in the whole Yangzhou, and the general uses him to ask for Ling'er, is his expectation too high? Besides, if you listened to the concubine at that time..."
Chen glanced at Qiao Wei when he spoke, and was noticed by Qiao Rui beside him, so he hurriedly interrupted: "Madame, don't talk away, this matter is decided, you all go to rest early, and Ling'er will go to the barracks with me tomorrow morning." ”
"Oh... Let the child sleep first, and the concubine will leave the lamp. Chan whispered in response.
"Yui..."
"The child is gone..."
When the three siblings heard their parents' orders, they got up and saluted and left.
After a few steps around the corner of the corridor outside the house, Qiao Wan suddenly stopped and shouted badly.
Qiao Wei turned her head and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Recently, I embroidered that Momei, and I couldn't handle it well when I took care of it, so I had to ask my mother." Qiao Wan frowned.
"Mother is serving my father's meal, how can there be room to teach you needle (zhi)? We'd better go back early and rest early, and we'll ask for advice tomorrow. ”
"Once I have something in my heart, I can't sleep at night, and my eldest sister doesn't know? You guys go back first, I'll wait outside the door for a while. ”
"Father rarely comes home, and he will not leave the table soon, what time do you have to wait?"
Qiao Ling saw that the two sisters were arguing, and she was not interested at all, so she said goodbye: "Eldest sister, second sister, I have to get up early tomorrow, so I will go back to the room first." ”
Qiao Wan waved her hand slightly, turned her head and coquettishly said to Qiao Wei again: "Eldest sister, go back too, you know mine..."
"Little stubborn donkey..."Qiao Wei raised her little hand, and then turned to leave.
Qiao Wan stuck out her tongue and moved Lian Bu to go back, her personality was more lively than Qiao Wei, and she would do it in time if she had an idea, inheriting Qiao Rui's vigorous and resolute behavior.
The night was already dark, but the lights in the flower hall were still on, and after the children left, the Chen family also sent away the internal and external servants, deliberately creating a world of two people to talk about things.
Qiao Wan walked to the door lightly, originally wanted to knock on the door and go in, but when she asked for the answer, she immediately returned to the room to practice, but she accidentally heard her parents talking about Qiao Wei, and immediately shrank out of the window like a kitten.
"General, you can't patronize military affairs, Xiaowei's marriage must also be taken care of, and there are only a few months left to make it."
"According to the requirements of the lady, it is really difficult to find the right talent, if you are in a hurry to marry your daughter, you can only find someone with poor conditions..."
"That's not possible, Xiaowei was born with a beautiful country, how can ordinary people be compatible? The concubine can't make her suffer herself, at least not worse than our family. ”
"The more top-notch the seedlings, the more people are targeted, we can't grab the high status, others have already pinched it out, not to mention that I'm just a martial artist..."
"What about Takeo? Not a general relied on by the lord? ”
"Our family background is not top-notch, Mrs. wants to marry her daughter into the wang clan, and she also wants the wang clan to look up to her, what about Xiaowei and Xiaowan? Beauty can't last forever, and besides, there is no shortage of women in the Wang clan..."
"The general can ask the lord to be the matchmaker."
"Don't bother with that, if you want to marry a family, you can only be a concubine, can the lady wronged her daughter? If you can't do it, find a warrior's house. ”
"Let the daughter of the Qiao family be a concubine, general, can you bear it yourself? I complain that the general didn't listen to me at the beginning, if I gave Xiaowei to Sun Bofu, how could I have today's troubles..."
Qiao Wan, who was eavesdropping outside the door, almost pricked up her ears when she heard this.
She knew that Qiao Wei had admired heroes since she was a child, and with Sun Ce's fame growing in the past two years, Qiao Wei also inquired about the guard Li Tun, Qiao Wan sighed that her mother had a really good vision back then, but she didn't know why her father didn't agree.
"Madame, isn't she still worried about Sun Ce? The reason why the husband does not agree to this marriage is because of his own considerations..."
"What's the reason?"
Qiao Rui paused for a moment to organize his words: "Since Sun Jian, the Sun clan has been fighting with the lord to conquer the Quartet, Sun Xiang, Sun Ben, Wu Jing, Sun Ce, which one of them does not have military power?" It can be said that half of the credit for the current territory of the lord is set up by the Sun family, and the old saying goes, 'the merit is high and the lord is shaken', if the bridge family marries the Sun family, how can the lord not doubt it? I just want to save my children and grandchildren..."
"When it is undecided today, the lord wants to be the emperor on behalf of the Han, it should not be so early..."
"Don't be lucky, take a wrong step and never recover, not to mention that Long Yunqi still has inferences..."
Chen's voice suddenly high-pitched: "Long Yunqi? Deduction? What does it have to do with him? ”
"Uh... Yunqi had previously analyzed and deduced that Sun Ce had soldiers and horses in his hands and expanded his territory, and it was difficult to guarantee that he did not have the heart of secession and self-reliance, and once the lord became emperor in the future, he might use this army to rebel..."
Qiao Rui landed because of Long Xiang's matter, so he drank a few more cups in his heart, and accidentally said what was in his heart. The more Qiao Wan listened to it, the more energetic she became, and she said that these things were more interesting than needles.
Qiao Wan squatted under the window with her hands and knees, and Chen's surprised voice came from inside the room.
"Ridiculous, really ridiculous, Long Xiang has been in the army for less than a year, he is timid on the battlefield, his words are all nonsense, how can the general listen to the words of the child? His father Sun Jian was loyal, and the concubine thought that Sun Ce was a young hero and would not do anything rebellious. ”
"I don't believe it for my husband, but in the evening I happened to meet Wu Jing to report the victory, saying that Sun Ce had defeated Wang Lang and won the Huiji, and Wu Jing returned to Shouchun to ask the lord for a reward for Sun Ce."
"Sun Ce has won such a big battle, why can't he ask the lord for some rewards?" Chen's voice was disapproving.
"Huiji is a rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, Sun Ce wants to reward meritorious soldiers, can't he take it from Wang Lang's treasury? Need to go all the way to Shouchun to ask for a reward? ”
"The concubine is stupid..."
Qiao Rui snorted coldly: "Sun Ce seized Huiji, he didn't think of offering treasure to pay tribute, and asked for money and food from the lord, obviously there were other plans, it is difficult to say whether he rebelled or not, but it is difficult to say whether he will listen to orders in the future, you see that the princes who are now supporting the army and respecting themselves, which one listens to the orders of the Son of Heaven?" ”
Hearing Qiao Rui's analogy, Chen also understood it, she swallowed her saliva and asked: "Since the general's plans are obvious, the lord must also understand it?" If the lord strikes first, Sun Bofu is in danger..."
"The lord is happy because of the good news, and it is estimated that he has not made any other considerations, but the money and food will not be allocated for the time being, and the husband has not been reminded because of other considerations."
"What's the consideration?"
"At that time, I had to intercede with Yunqi, if I said bad things about Sun Ce, I was afraid that I would displease the lord..."
"Bad luck is always inseparable from him." Chen sighed and reminded: "In the future, we should stay away, and tomorrow Ling'er will go to deliver medicine, but don't let him get started, and bring bad luck home." ”
"Madame, don't be prejudiced, a sixteen-year-old general in the army, there are not many people whose courage can rise compared to Shangyun, there are almost no people with his brain, and he is a seedling if he cultivates it well." Qiao Rui shook his head.
"The concubine doesn't matter, in short, you keep your distance from him in the future, and the general just mentioned the lieutenant general, but reminded the concubine, there is always someone with a better background, right? Why not choose two to be sons-in-law? Xiaowei is about to get married, and Xiaowan is a year younger than her..."
Outside the window, Qiao Wan listened with an embarrassed face, why did she mention herself for no reason?
