Chapter 218: You're Good or Bad, I Like It
Qiao Wei got too close before marriage, maybe it was not polite, but she also envied Qiao Wan for being close.
Fortunately, Long Xiang didn't get too close to Qiao Wan, which made Qiao Wei feel a little better.
A few people simply greeted each other, and Long Xiang took the initiative to mention the marriage at the end of the year, saying that he would use Liu Ye as a matchmaker, and asked Lu Su to witness his marriage.
In order to save resources, Long Xiang decided to only celebrate in the Military Sima Mansion, and would not let the whole of Hefei participate in it, and he was unwilling to do things that cost the people and money.
Although the Chen family has a good face, she can't see the lights on the streets, so she has no objection to Long Xiang's arrangement.
In particular, Long Xiang changed the original matchmaker from Lu Su to Liu Ye, which made Chen very satisfied.
The Huainan Gao clan and the Han clan were matchmakers, and the Chen family felt that Long Xiang was very attentive. 33
In fact, the matchmaker adjustment was Lu Su who took the lead in proposing that if it weren't for Liu Ye's strategy to provoke Chen, Long Xiang would not have successfully negotiated with his mother-in-law, and he deserved to be a matchmaker.
After chatting about the preparations for the marriage, Chen suddenly frowned and asked about defense.
"Yunqi, I heard that the enemy of Jun Xuan is the army from the Lujiang River? Who are you going to send back? ”
Long Xiang replied indifferently: "Xu Bo'an has been asked to lead his troops to help, and it is estimated that Li Shu's people will retreat soon." ”
"Jun Xuan has few enemies?"
"About four or five thousand people, which is really not a lot for attacking the city."
Chen had no concept of defending the city with soldiers, and only felt that four or five thousand people were quite scary, so he frowned and asked:
"Four or five thousand is not a lot? How can Yunqi be so sure? After all, Li Shu is too guarded in a county, can you do evil with him? Will it affect your marriage at the end of the year? ”
"Xu Zhongkang is guarding Junxuan, he can even repel Sun Ce, let alone the little Li Shu?"
Long Xiang looked at Chen and smiled confidently, and then comforted: "As for the marriage at the end of the year, my aunt doesn't have to worry, Li Shu's good days are not far away..."
Chen frowned and wanted to ask, but was preempted by Qiao Wan, who poured wine.
I saw her tilting her head to look at Long Xiang, her big watery eyes seemed to be able to speak.
"What do you mean? What tricks did you use? ”
"I have arranged an opponent for Li Shu, I don't know if he can survive this winter."
"Opponents?"
Seeing that the mother and daughter spoke in unison, Long Xiang smiled and explained: "Sun Ce was assassinated and died violently, Li Shu showed his back, not only did he send people to Wu County for funeral, but also wantonly accepted Jiangdong refugees, Sun Quan wanted to take him at this time, I went to Lu Zijing just now, that is, he asked him to write a letter to Sun Quan, and sent a reason for war." ”
"What's the reason?"
Seeing Qiao Wan breaking the clay pot and asking in the end, Chen hurriedly reminded in a deep voice: "Don't ask more, this is a major event of the military aircraft, how can you disclose it at will?" ”
"Oh..."
Qiao Wan pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice, "I'm not an outsider..."
Long Xiang smiled and comforted: "It's not a secret, Li Shu is recruiting troops and horses in Lujiang, and his grain and grass may come from Jiangdong, if Sun Quan doesn't pull out this tumor as soon as possible, there will be people in Jiangdong who will continue to support it, and when the time comes, the tail will not fall..."
Qiao Ling was listening with relish, and before he understood the meaning, the brother-in-law next to him had already ended.
What grain and grass? What cancer?
Qiao Ling was about to ask a few more questions, but saw Qiao Wan holding her index finger against the pear vortex in her mouth, and asked meaningfully:
"So Li Shu has an internal response in Jiangdong? Isn't the Sun family the lord of Jiangdong? Why did so many betray them? ”
Long Xiang explained with a serious face: "Sun Ce has killed too much in recent years, and he has also made too many enemies for the Sun family, it is normal for some people to be dissatisfied, and his assassination was done by the enemy..."
"Oh..."
"I heard that Yunqi had already predicted Sun Ce's death, or do you have vision..."
Chen glanced at Qiao Wei and sighed sincerely, saying that if your husband had listened to his own persuasion back then, you would have become a widow now.
Thinking that Long Xiang sent the Yuan family to Jiangdong, and Sun Quan praised Long Xiang as the governor of the southern part of Jiujiang, Chen thought that the relationship between the two was not bad.
So he innocently asked: "If Sun Quan attacks Lujiang, will Yunqi send troops to help?" ”
"Send troops to help? How can it be? ”
"You're not offering overtures... Sun Quan also reciprocated... I thought you were friends..."
Long Xiang shook his head and explained: "I am friends with Zijing and Yide, Sun Quan is the lord of Jiangdong, he can't and won't have friends, so he has to do his own things..."
Chen nodded thoughtfully, and then asked from his own perspective, "What if I ask you for help?" ”
"Looking for my help?"
Long Xiang smiled slightly: "Then he will have to pay the price, in fact, Li Shu's thousands of soldiers in Junxuan, because they are far away from the Lujiang River and the grain road is long, I have the ability to gather and annihilate them, but I will deliberately let them go..."
"Why?"
Chen's face was full of surprise when he heard this, and his son and daughter were also puzzled.
"As I said just now, why should I spend money, food, soldiers and horses to weaken Sun Quan's enemies? There is no such selfless business in the world, and the stronger the neighbor, the more unfavorable it is for Hefei, so I deliberately ... Hiss..."
Long Xiang finished talking to the last few words, and suddenly felt a slight pain in his left waist, turned his head to glance at Qiao Wan, and found that she was pinching herself with her small hand covertly.
Qiao Wan swept off the chopsticks with her sleeve at this time, and in the process of bending sideways to pick it up, she approached Long Xiang to send the sound of mosquitoes and flies.
"You're so bad, but I like it..."
Long Xiang listened to a stirring spirit, and said in his heart that the second miss is really playful, and the days after marriage are estimated to be very interesting, is that what it feels like to be in love just now?
Some people say that happiness is comparative, and Long Xiang has a deep understanding at the moment.
Now the Eight Immortals are relaxed at the table, compared to the previous guests in Shouchun Bridge Mansion, the treatment is simply heaven and earth.
The bridge family celebration banquet was over, and it was already dark outside.
Long Xiang was happy today, and unconsciously drank a few more glasses, and the evening breeze blew the hairs on his body to stand up, but he was not drunk because of his low alcohol content.
On the way out, Qiao Ling pulled Long Xiang and asked when Hefei New City would be built.
He has been following Long Xiang to learn theories and drawings for several months, and he is eager to find a place to practice.
Long Xiang said with a smile that he would break ground in October at the earliest, and when the time came, he would teach Qiao Ling to become a civil engineering expert, and appoint him as the chief engineer of the project after learning.
Qiao Ling listened in a fog, and wanted to ask a question but found that her brother-in-law had left.
Long Xiang walked to the shadow wall, and a black shadow blocked the way again, and when he looked at it, it was the eldest lady Qiao Wei, holding a black thing in her hand.
"Miss, you are..."
"This is the dress I sewed, the general will take it back and try it on first, if it doesn't fit, I'll change it..."
As Qiao Wei spoke, she handed the dress to Long Xiang with both hands.
"Uh... That's good..."
Long Xiang had heard that Qiao Wei was preparing a dress for herself, but she didn't expect it to be completed so quickly, and she really had a hand in needlework.
Holding his clothes and nodding awkwardly, he was about to say goodbye and leave, but he heard Qiao Wei stop and remind:
"You'll come back tomorrow night..."
"Huh?"
Long Xiang scratched his head, and immediately replied: "Whether it's suitable or not, I'll tell you tomorrow morning, you don't have to be at night..."
"Come at night, I will have someone prepare another table to eat, and the concubine will sit beside you and serve when the time comes..."
Qiao Wei didn't wait for Long Xiang to refuse, turned around and trotted and disappeared into the night.
Looking at the afterimage of Qiao Wei's disappearance, Long Xiang showed a bitter smile on his face, and said in his heart that this girl is really competitive enough, and she has to make up for this kind of thing?
Some people died, but not completely......
