Three Kingdoms

Sun Ce is also struggling with troubles in his marriage recently.

As the eldest son of the Sun family, Sun Ce was already in his early twenties before he knew it. Twenty years old was already considered an extraordinary age in the Han Dynasty, especially for the large number of nobles who started getting married at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Sun Ce This age is indeed a bit old, and some things begin to become urgent and obvious. The ones that have the greatest impact are the few loyal old servants and a few old ladies at home. They have been talking about something recently, and they are very generous. Intriguedly, Sun Ce described in detail some suitable ladies who were about to be married...

Especially when these old people discovered that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were close.

These things made Sun Ce feel a little distressed.

It's not that Sun Ce completely rejects marriage, because based on Sun Ce's current status, or from the long-term inheritance of the entire Sun family, or from the traditional education of the Han Dynasty, getting married and having children earlier is actually very important to the entire family. This is all very good, after all, in an era where having no offspring is basically equivalent to being unfilial.

But the problem is that Sun Ce has always felt that he doesn't like those delicate women who stay in the boudoir all day long. He still has some expectations for his future marriage. He always feels that the couple travels with swords in the rivers and lakes...well, on the battlefield, that is extremely... I have a good feeling, so I always stay away from the suggestions of the elderly people at home and are not very interested.

The education you receive from childhood can often affect a person's life, and as the most important teacher, after all, you are your parents. Sun Jianda can be said to be an angry young man full of ambition, which has a great influence on Sun Ce. Since childhood, Sun Jian would often teach him and his younger brother the honor of being part of the Sun family, and would also describe Sun Jian's own ideals of making contributions...

In addition, Sun Ce basically followed Sun Jian when he was young, and Sun Jian spent most of his time hanging out with soldiers in the military camp. Therefore, Sun Ce developed a straightforward personality. Anyway, directness and courage are also advocated in the military camp, and perhaps It is precisely because of this that the generals Cheng Pu and Huang Gai left behind by Sun Ce, including the soldiers under his banner, quickly accepted Sun Ce.

It was late in the afternoon, and when I walked through the market by the Qinhuai River, there were pedestrians near and far. After the snow melted in spring, business travelers also began to pass through Jiangning City. From time to time, you can see faraway travelers leading their horses through the market, and there are also caravans of escorts nearby, guarding the carriages and horses in a mighty manner. Some of them set out from the local area, and some came from a city not far away, passing through Jiangning. It was time to relax a little. The escorts armed with knives and guns were looking around in the market, talking loudly, and discussing the prosperity of the city with their companions.

In Shouchun City, there are waving flags or signboards hanging at the entrances of shops on both sides of the road. There are often gaps in the stone steps between the shops near the river for boarding boats or washing clothes. Although the winter chill has just melted away and the surrounding willow trees have not yet sprouted, some birds have already flown over and chirped gracefully, reminding everyone of the coming of spring.

On the blue waves of the river, there are painted boats passing by, and there are bursts of music and singing.

There was a prosperous scene for a while, but once you leave the city and really set foot in the surrounding rural counties, such a prosperous scene is rare to see.

It turns out that Yuan Shu was in the Runan area of ​​Yuzhou. Although the battle with Cao Cao was mutually beneficial, the majority of the losers still lost. However, Yuan Shu's family had a great cause and he didn't care about the losses. The gentry also had many complaints. The elders of the Yuan family would inevitably come to nag him. Yuan Shu was so annoyed that he moved his office to Shouchun in a rage, so that he no longer had to listen to the nagging of the elders of the Yuzhou family.

Speaking of which, Yuan Shu almost killed Cao Cao. Just a few days ago, Cao Cao's army came to Wuping County. However, Yuan Shu's left-behind Chen Xiang Yuan Si saw that he could not resist it, so he pretended to surrender. Taking advantage of Cao Cao's unpreparedness when he was out, he took Yuan Si with him. Yuan's tribe assassinated Cao Cao, but fortunately Qin Zhen's father, Qin Shao, pretended to be someone else. When Yuan's tribe was chasing him, they did not distinguish carefully and mistakenly thought he was Cao Cao. They hurriedly killed Qin Shao and then fled to avoid Cao's army. Revenge allowed Cao Cao to escape disaster.

When the news reached Shouchun, Yuan Shu just felt pity for a while, and then gave up. He didn't know whether it was a pity that he could not kill Cao Cao, or a pity that Yuan Si, who had pretended to surrender, was probably more likely to be in trouble...

Anyway, Sun Ce didn't know, he just knew what Yuan Shu was going to give him this time to commend him for his achievements in the Jiangdong area.

Well, when Yuan Shu said that he would give Sun Ce a prefect, he didn't know where he would be granted the title.

"Gong Jin, do you think the guy on the boat is Yang Changshi?" Sun Ce's sharp eyes saw a guy shaking his head on the boat far away in Shouchun River.

In this early spring weather, it really makes people feel lazy and nervous. The spring breeze is blowing and the water is rippling. It's a good time.

"Well, it should be, but the boat is actually the Qiao family's boat." Zhou Yu squinted at the boat that was getting closer and said lightly.

Sun Ce's eyes widened: "Hey, how come you even know this?"

Zhou Yu lowered his eyelids and said, "Is it difficult for you to see the words on the bow?"

"Ah?" Sun Ce quickly turned around to look, "There are really words!"

The boat floats slowly down the river. The boat has three floors, and it is quite lively. Yang Hong, Yang Chang, and Shi Lun, standing in the bow of the boat, look very graceful. There seemed to be a few young nobles in the first floor, the widest one in the middle of the boat. They were wearing brocade robes, with scarves fluttering on their heads. They were either writing something with their heads down, or reading aloud while holding up a piece of paper. It was obviously a scene. A cultural gathering was held in the painting boat.

The boat with carved beams and painted buildings is indeed a bit pleasing to the eye as it sails in the atmosphere of early spring.

Yang Hong also had some literary talents under Yuan Shu, so he was somewhat famous. Obviously, this time he came to judge these young nobles, and he was standing on the bow of the boat to comment on someone's articles and poems.

"General Qiao Ruiqiao?" Zhou Yu also looked at the boat and suddenly spotted the figure of a person, and said with some confusion, "General Qiao is holding a cultural conference? What is he doing?"

Qiao Rui is a military commander. Although he is not incompetent in pen and ink, he certainly has little to do with literary talent. And for a military commander to hold a literary conference, this matter...

The boat was getting closer and closer, and there were many people standing on the bank of the river like Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, looking at the boat. Moreover, because of the arrival of Yuan Shu and the collection of a large amount of materials, Shouchun City showed a morbidly prosperous posture, so the river bank There were also many gentry children riding horses around, all of them wearing brocade clothes and looking bright and beautiful. On the contrary, those like Sun Ce and Zhou Yu who were wearing military uniforms were less conspicuous.

Suddenly there was a commotion among the crowd. Sun Ce didn't know what was going on. He only heard words like something was opened. Then he saw the window of the small attic on the third floor of the boat opened at some point, revealing two beautiful and lustful women. Drop's face.

"Oh, this is a literary meeting, it's just a son-in-law chosen to join the cabinet..." Zhou Yu smiled slightly, but when he turned around, he saw that Sun Ce was in a daze, "Bo Fu? What's wrong? What are you looking at?"

Perhaps the crowd on the shore was booing too hard, so the windows in the small attic of the boat were quickly closed again, causing waves of sighs.

Only then did Sun Ce come back to his senses and said, "Ah? What did you say?"

Zhou Yu smiled and said: "If Bo Fu is interested, then he must hurry up..."

"What are you holding on to?" Sun Ce couldn't react and subconsciously followed. Before Zhou Yu could explain, he grabbed Zhou Yu's arm excitedly and said, "Gong Jin, did you see it? Did you see it?"

"Huh? What did you see? What did you see?" Zhou Yu asked a little strangely. Zhou Yu didn't care much about female sex. It's no wonder that this is the case. After all, in Zhou Yu's world, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she is not as good-looking as himself.

"Hehe! I want to marry her!" Sun Ce said excitedly without starting to the end. Anyway, he knew that even if what he said was confusing, Zhou Yu could still understand, "I found it! Hehehe, just in time, we two brothers, They are also two, one for me and one for you..."

Zhou Yu laughed dumbly and said: "What, this is a split? Wouldn't it be better to give you both?"

Sun Ce shook his head and flatly refused: "No, if you and I are brothers, I will give you half of everything I have! That's it!"

Zhou Yu shook his head and did not argue with Sun Ce about the distribution or non-distribution. In his opinion, the eight characters had not even been written yet, so he repeated: "Bofu, you really need to hurry up!"

"Well, I'll hold on tight. But, hold on to what?" Sun Ce asked subconsciously. Anyway, when Zhou Yu was around, Sun Ce didn't bother to use his brain.

"Hurry up and propose marriage. Didn't you see that there are so many family members on the boat? I'm afraid this literary meeting was organized by General Qiao to choose a son-in-law..." Zhou Yu said with a smile, "But... didn't you always say that you want to marry a capable man?" The woman who went to the battlefield with you? Why today... huh? "

"Ah? This... this..." Sun Ce rolled his eyes, "Yes, that's right, I said... isn't Mr. Qiao the general who leads the army? This must be passed down from his family! That's right! That's it! Ah ha ha ha... Ah! Gong Jin, what did you just say? Is it difficult for Mr. Qiao to choose a son-in-law on this boat? Ah! Hurry, hurry! Get on your horse and catch up, I want to get on the boat! "

Zhou Yu quickly grabbed him and said, "Wait a minute! Bo Fu, you haven't seen Mr. Yuan since you entered the city, so why don't you go and board the painting boat first! Besides, you can't get married just by boarding the painting boat. This matter is not that urgent! It’s important to see Mr. Yuan first!”

"Tsk...then Gongjin, you have to help me, you know I'm not very good at poetry..." Sun Ce stopped and turned to look at Zhou Yu and said.

Zhou Yu nodded: "Help, won't I help you that time? Let's go, it's important to see Mr. Yuan first!"

…………………………

"...the way of husband and wife involves coordinating yin and yang, understanding the gods, believing in the great meaning of heaven and earth, and the great integrity of human relations. This is why "Li" values ​​men and women, and "Shi" writes "Guan Ju". From this statement It cannot be neglected. If a husband is not virtuous, he cannot control his wife; if a woman is not virtuous, she cannot serve her husband..."

Da Qiao is currently struggling with the fact that he is about to grow up.

As Qiao Rui's eldest daughter, she was fourteen last year, and after the Chinese New Year this year, she will be fifteen.

On the 15th day of the year, a woman is allowed to marry, and she will be given a nickname.

In the Han Dynasty, fifteen years old was considered the age to get married. For Da Qiao, some things began to become urgent and obvious. The biggest impact was that his father began to consider finding a husband for himself during this Chinese New Year. Once, she vaguely asked her and her sister's opinions. Recently, she was also busy comparing the young leaders in Yangzhou. These things made her feel a little distressed.

However, it's not that Da Qiao completely rejects getting married.

From the point of view of the "Female Commandments", couples are the majority in the world, and both men and women will face problems when they grow up, so Da Qiao is not very resistant, but sometimes it is inevitable to imagine what his future husband will be like. What kind of things should a person do when she becomes someone else's wife? Just thinking about it this way will make Da Qiao's face turn red and her heart beat brightly, and Xiafei's cheeks will turn red.

"Sister~" Xiao Qiao trotted closer, pulling Da Qiao's sleeves and dragging them out, "Let's go, let's go, there's someone playing the piano in the backyard~"

Da Qiao was dragged and tilted a bit, and he quickly put down the "Female Commandments" in his hand, and said while walking along: "Ah, stop dragging, what's wrong? What's going on?"

Xiao Qiao smiled and said, "I was in the backyard just now and heard someone playing the piano outside the yard. It sounded great~"

"It sounds nice, but why are you dragging me?" Da Qiao was dragged away by Xiao Qiao, "Ah, stop running, can't you walk properly?"

"Stop watching "Girls' Commandments" every day, you're so stunned!" Xiao Qiao turned around and said, "We should really go out for a walk, um... how about we catch fish another day!"

"Go there to catch fish... uh, no, really, you have led me astray. Now... now we are big girls, we can't do whatever we want... Oh, slow down..." Da Qiao was being led to a trot. , while wanting to speak, his breath became stuttered, and he was breathing unevenly.

Xiao Qiao suddenly stopped. Da Qiao couldn't hold back his feet and almost bumped into him. He quickly pressed his hand on Xiao Qiao's back. He was about to speak and complain, but Xiao Qiao covered his mouth.

"Shh..." Xiao Qiao said mysteriously, "Listen..."

"Hmm..." Da Qiao held Xiao Qiao's hand.

"Don't move around, listen carefully!" Xiao Qiao didn't even look back, his ears pricked up like a little rabbit, and his round eyes moved from side to side.

"Uh-huh!" Da Qiao struggled to pull off Xiao Qiao's hand. He gasped for several times before patting Xiao Qiao and said, "Huh! You! You covered my nose!"

"Ah? Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Xiao Qiao finally reacted, and then said quickly, "Sister, listen, do you play well~"

Just as Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were having fun together, Qiao Rui came over from the front yard and coughed: "Ahem... Well, what are you two doing?"

Xiao Qiao was startled and quickly shrank half of his body behind Da Qiao.

"I've met my father..." Da Qiao quickly saluted Qiao Rui.

"Well." Qiao Rui walked over, but before he could speak, he suddenly frowned, then was stunned for a moment, and then shouted loudly, "You are so bold that you are playing the piano outside the backyard of a certain house and causing trouble! Come on! Give it to me. Open the back door and beat him out!"
