After Gan Qian and A Dou returned to Jiangling, in order to meet A Dou often, Liu Bei placed the mother and son in the back hall of the General's Mansion, two streets away from Sun Shangxiang's other courtyard. Although Gan Qian is now a concubine, the treatment But better than the mistress.

Liu Bei dotes on Gan Qian and A Dou, and the time to go to Sun Shangxiang's other courtyard is decreasing day by day, which makes Miss Sun's family restless, so she prepares to meet Gan Qian aggressively, but she is stopped by Zhao Yun as soon as she walks out of the other courtyard.

"Zilong wants to stop me? I am Xuande's wife, not Jiangling's prisoner." Sun Shangxiang has been married to Jiangling for more than half a year, and Sun Shangxiang knows that Zhao Yun is spying on him in the name of protection. The dozen or so maidservants in the house drew their swords to protect the lord.

When the sword was on the verge of breaking out, Zhao Yun was not afraid at all. He smiled and said, "How dare Yun stop the mistress, but you are so angry, where are you going?"

"The other courtyard is a bit boring. I'll go to Xuande's place for a walk, won't you allow me to go?" Sun Shangxiang asked coldly.

"How dare Zhao Yun do this? But with my escort all the way, I won't bother them to follow."

Sun Shangxiang frowned, waved to the maidservant behind her, and then strode forward with her head held high, while Zhao Yun and a group of soldiers guarded behind.

"Zilong, what has Xuande been doing lately? I haven't seen you for a long time." Sun Shangxiang said deliberately, despite the hundreds of maidservants and servants she brought, she only heard some trivial news.

Zhao Yun clasped his fists in perfunctory words: "There are a lot of affairs in Jingzhou, my lord must be too busy..."

Sun Shangxiang was very puzzled: "Really? Since bringing Mrs. Gan back, why has Xuande been so busy?"

Chapter 172 Oath of Sovereignty

It was difficult for Zhao Yun to answer Sun Shangxiang's words. The so-called upright officials can't handle housework, let alone the master's housework.

Zhao Yun was dumb and didn't talk, and Sun Shangxiang didn't ask any more questions.

Although Sun Shangxiang is good at wielding knives, guns and sticks, he was well educated and nurtured by his mother, he is virtuous and knows how to forbear and restrain himself. In general, the wife's family has a strong background. If the husband favors the concubine, then there are usually ways to deal with the concubine. In order to maintain the unshakable position of the main wife.

It has been more than a month since Gan Qian returned to Jiangling, and Sun Shangxiang had been waiting for her to come to see her, but she never expected that she would be so lonely after waiting, that she would ignore her at all.

In fact, it's not that Gan Qian is ignorant of etiquette. She wanted to go to another hospital the day after she returned to Jiangling, but was stopped by Liu Bei.

Gan Qian has no power to restrain the chicken, and Liu Bei is worried that if something happens, he will not be able to explain to Lan Tian, ​​so the matter of coming and going will be over.

When he came to Liu Bei's General Zuo's mansion, Zhao Yun found that Chen Dao's people were not there, so he knew that the lord was not in the mansion, so he advised Sun Shangxiang: "Mrs. Sun, the lord doesn't seem to be in the mansion, why don't I send you back to another courtyard?"

Sun Shangxiang also knew the reason, but her purpose of coming today was to see Gan Qian, so she said, "It's okay, I want to walk around the house, and meet the legendary Yumei by the way."

Zhao Yun was shocked when he heard that, it seemed that the mistress was looking for trouble, he sent people to look for Liu Bei, and at the same time followed Sun Shangxiang, not daring to leave.

Sun Shangxiang went straight to the back hall coldly. When she stepped into the garden, suddenly a small gavel flew over from the yard.

Zhao Yun was about to block it, but Sun Shangxiang turned sideways and easily took the weak 'hidden weapon'.

Sun Shangxiang holds the small mallet in his hand, and there are ropes and tassels on the handle of the hammer, like a wooden weapon for playing.

"Who are you? Return the meteor hammer to me." A Dou followed and ran to the gate of the garden to ask for it, and found that he didn't know the maid, and she didn't intend to return his toy.

"My son." Zhao Yun was afraid that Sun Shangxiang would trouble A Dou, so he saluted Liu Chan first.

"Uncle Zhao." Adou nodded first, then looked at Sun Shangxiang suspiciously, but instinctively did not ask for the meteor hammer.

"You are Ah Dou? You are quite simple and honest." Sun Shangxiang said kindly.

Zhao Yun held A Dou and whispered, "My lord, this is the eldest lady..."

"Adou, who is talking outside?"

Before Liu Chan came, he was in a hurry to call for someone, and Gan Qian called out while walking outside.

The sound stopped, and the wives and concubines met.

Sun Shangxiang and Gan Qian looked at each other instinctively, one was youthful and beautiful, the other fair and graceful.

"Mother?"

A Dou's call interrupted the brief silence.

Because of Zhao Yun's guards on the left and right, Gan Qian guessed the identity of the person who came. She saw her right hand pressing her left hand, and her left hand pressing on her left hip bone. Qian has seen Madam..."

Sun Shangxiang nodded slightly, and said in her heart that you are a person who understands etiquette, "My sister is as clean as jade as rumored."

"I'm an old man, Madam, please..."

Gan Qian originally invited out of politeness, but Sun Shangxiang frowned slightly, thinking that you really regard yourself as the master?

Before Sun Shangxiang married Liu Bei, she knew that Liu Bei had a concubine and a son. She was backed by her mother's Jiangdong, and she didn't care about the concubine and the concubine at all, but Zhao Yun called out the son just now and let her There was a buzzing in my head.

How could Liu Bei be so anxious to make a three-year-old child his heir?Their Sun family has no such precedent, but the word "shizi" is really an eyesore, and Sun Shangxiang has to re-examine this jade beauty and that naive A Dou.

Before entering the back hall, Sun Shangxiang picked up the small mallet and threw it on the garden tree, hitting the peach blossom on the branch like a shooting star.

A Dou was amazed, but he was not particularly shocked, because he had seen even more sophisticated methods in Quanling.

Gan Qian's residence is simply furnished, and there are only two or three maidservants serving her. After seeing these external things, Sun Shangxiang's unhappiness dissipated a lot.

Sun Shangxiang sat down in the main seat, and Gan Qian asked the maid to bring melons, fruits and tea, but she stood aside and did not speak.

"Sister Gan, please sit down too. I have no relatives in Jiangling. Xuande is busy with his daily military affairs. Now I am lucky to have my sister back to accompany me. I also have a place to talk." Sun Shangxiang pointed to the side.

Gan Qian nodded slightly, "Listen to Madam's orders."

"Where is Sister Gan from?" Sun Shangxiang asked.

Gan Qian: "This concubine is from Pei Kingdom..."

"Are there any parents and brothers in the family?" Sun Shangxiang asked again.

Gan Qian said melancholy: "My mother died early, and Ah Weng also passed away a long time ago, and there is still a younger brother..."

Lu Fan had already inquired about Liu Bei's marriage and children in advance. His original wife, Mi Zhen, was born in a merchant family in Xuzhou. Now her two elder brothers, one is Jingzhou Biejia and the other is the prefect of Wuling. Qian's younger brother is also in Jingzhou.

"Brother Ling is also in Jingzhou?" Sun Shangxiang asked.

"Well, he's in Lingling..." Gan Qian didn't say Lan Tian's name.

"Could it be Gan Xingba?" Sun Shangxiang asked tentatively.

Gan Qian shook her head, "Ma'am, I misunderstood, I am from Peiguo, and General Gan is from Berkshire..."

Among the civil servants and military generals surnamed Gan in Jingzhou, only Gan Ning was Zhonglang General, and the rest were not worthy of the name at all. After learning that Gan Qian's younger brother was not Gan Ning, Sun Shangxiang's last little worry disappeared.

Adou was established as the son, which made Sun Shangxiang puzzled.

The two chatted for a while afterwards, Liu Bei hurried back from the outside, entered the back hall and found that the two were very calm, and the hanging heart finally fell.

"The two ladies are so excited." Liu Bei said with a smile.

"Husband, my sister's conditions here are poor, and there are too few maidservants, why don't you let my sister move to my other courtyard?" Sun Shangxiang suggested.

Before Gan Qian could speak, Liu Bei shook his head again and again: "Mrs. Gan is frugal, and she is not used to living in your other courtyard. I think the current arrangement is very good."

Seeing that Sun Shangxiang hesitated to speak, Gan Qian made a common courtesy and said, "General, you talk first, I'll go see where Shu'er and Wan'er have gone..."

"Go." Liu Bei nodded.

"I'm not really a jealous woman, but you put sister Gan here, but you left me in another courtyard. If my brother finds out, there may be something wrong. My husband still has to respect the etiquette..." Sun Shangxiang said tactfully .

"Bei is not clear about the internal affairs, what do you think Madam should do?" Liu Bei asked.

"Either I move into the General's Mansion, or I set up a separate courtyard for Sister Gan, but this scale should be considered a courtesy..."

Before Sun Shangxiang finished speaking, Liu Bei hurriedly said: "It's better to set up a separate courtyard, and I will ask someone to arrange it tomorrow. Mrs. Gan is always frugal and won't find a courtyard that is too big..."

Sun Shangxiang loves displaying weapons at home. Although Liu Bei is very good at swordsmanship, he doesn't like to have swords in his bedroom, so he immediately decided to arrange a separate courtyard for Gan Qian, so that he can get away with it.

Sun Shangxiang was a little disappointed after hearing this, it seems that Xuande was shocked when he was in the bridal chamber, and it was difficult for him to move into the general's residence.

After chatting briefly, Sun Shangxiang asked puzzledly: "Just now I saw Adou in the courtyard, this child is well-behaved and lively, but there is one thing I don't understand, why Xuande established a son so early?"

"Yuan Benchu ​​and Liu Jingsheng didn't establish a son early, which caused the brothers to kill each other later on. That's why the ministers made this suggestion." Liu Bei said.

Liu Bei's explanation is very convincing, Sun Shangxiang nodded reluctantly convinced, planning to change the establishment after she gave birth to a child, but Liu Bei didn't go to other courtyards often, which made this matter far away.

After going to the general's mansion to declare his sovereignty, Liu Bei asked Zhao Yun to escort Sun Shangxiang back to the other courtyard.

After Sun Shangxiang left, A Dou ran out from nowhere and acted like a baby beside Liu Bei: "Father, this lady is so fierce, just now A Dou was a little scared..."

Gan Qian quickly interrupted: "Adou, don't talk nonsense..."

Liu Bei held A Dou in his arms, waved his hands and said, "It's okay, I will find you a yard next to it, and you can't let Uncle Zhi guard your safety."

"Uncle Zhi wants to protect the general, my concubine and Adou should be safe in Jiangling City." Gan Qian shook her head.

Liu Bei nodded slightly and did not speak again. The next day, he found a small courtyard next to the General's Mansion, and asked Gan Qian to move in with her children, and sent several soldiers to guard it.

At this time, Liu Bei has the potential to be a dragon, and he will not be fettered by women at all, so he rarely goes to Sun Shangxiang's other courtyard, and most of the time he still stays at Gan Qian's place.

In the middle of June, Gan Qian sent a letter to Quanling, saying that Adou missed Lan Yuan and Lan Ji, and invited Lan Tian's family to visit Jiangling.

At this time, the summer harvest is busy, and Lantian will go to various counties to inspect rice harvesting as a rule, especially to see the experimental fields cultivated by agricultural scientists. Two-line hybrid rice that has been artificially castrated has begun to be cultivated. This kind of rice does not eat fertilizer and is resistant to diseases The high-yield rice species are especially suitable for this era of abundant manpower.

"Husband, do you want to go after you've been busy for a while?" Seeing Lan Tian, ​​Lu Lingqi hesitated and asked.

Lan Tian shook his head: "I also know about the situation in Jiangling City. Brother-in-law, he dotes on Sister and A Dou and neglects Mrs. Sun, which will definitely make the other party unhappy. After all, she is Sun Quan's biological sister. I guess everyone is looking for trouble. Ah My sister is asking me for help."

"How can this be done? I heard that Mrs. Sun has martial arts, wouldn't my sister be bullied?" Lu Lingqi frowned.

"It's not possible to have a brother-in-law, but most of the servants around sister will have to suffer. It seems that we have to support sister." Lan Tian analyzed.

Lu Lingqi recalled her own experience, raised her head and sighed: "Noble-born women always rely on the power of their mother's family to look up to themselves. This time, I will go to Jiangling with my husband."

Lan Tian nodded, "Alright, let's take some fresh lychees from Lingnan, I remember my sister likes them very much."

Lu Lingqi asked her to pack her luggage that night, and planned to take a boat north to Jiangling the next morning. Now that she had Hua Tuo's anti-sickness pills, she was no longer afraid of taking a boat.

In the early morning of the next day, the family happily walked out of the prefect's mansion. As soon as Lu Lingqi and her two children got into the carriage, Gao Shun rode over.

"Sir, let Xingba accompany you to Jiangling, Lu Tie has an accident in Jiaozhou, I'm going to go south immediately..." Gao Shun apologized.

Seeing Gao Shun's serious expression and Lu Tie's cautious personality, Lan Tian knew that the situation was not good.

After listening to Gao Shun's introduction in a low voice, Lan Tian immediately frowned, and then said in a deep voice, "The situation in Jiaozhou is more complicated, and Boping's personality is not suitable for dealing with it. It would be better for me to go there myself. You can escort your wife to Jiangling." .”

"Wei." Gao Shun was a little excited when he heard this. This time, Lan Tian himself should be able to solve the Jiaozhou problem completely.

At the Quanling Military Port that day, dozens of warships parted ways, Lan Tian led a thousand soldiers from the camp to go south, and Lu Lingqi took the children to go north to Jiangling.

During the agreed family tour, Lan Tian left halfway due to work. Lu Lingqi was a little disappointed, but Lu Tie was one of the eighteen generals in the camp. If something happened, she would still feel sad.

Standing on the deck, Lu Lingqi watched Lantian's fleet go away, and asked Gao Shun puzzled, "Is there something wrong with Lao Lu?"

Gao Shun shook his head, "There was no explanation in the information, but it was mentioned that Lu Tie's injury was very serious, so Mr. Hua took all the genius doctors with him."

"The situation in Jiaozhou is so complicated. I hope that my husband will be able to go once and for all this time." Lu Lingqi said melancholy.

"It's hard for others to say, Mr. will never suffer." Gao Shun nodded.

After Lu Lingqi arrived in Jiangling, she lived directly in Gan Qian's small courtyard, her playmates were very excited after not seeing each other for several months, A Dou led Lan Yuan and Lan Ji to play and play.

Gan Qian looked at the children and asked, "Ziyu went to Jiaozhou, where is Deng Fan's child? Why didn't he follow?"

"Fan'er also went to Jiaozhou with her husband, this child learned Ziyu's calm temperament, and he will become a great talent in the future." Lu Lingqi explained.

When the two were talking, Gan Qian's maid brought the washed lychee. Seeing that the little girl had bruises on her hands and forehead, Lu Lingqi asked suspiciously, "The girl's injuries are..."

"It's all random disasters..." Gan Qian sighed.

"Is Madam Sun so domineering?" Lu Lingqi frowned.

"Xuande often comes here to see A Dou. Madam Sun can understand how upset she is. The servants and maidservants who followed her from Jiangdong are all skilled in martial arts. The girls around me inevitably suffered some grievances. I try to keep them as little as possible. Going out..." Gan Qian explained.

"It's not an option for my sister to be patient..." Lu Lingqi said to herself.

After Lu Lingqi arrived in Jiangling, Gao Shun's men temporarily replaced Gan Qian's guards, and the heavy armor soldiers who were trapped in the camp stood guard at the gate of the other courtyard. But not long after they changed shifts, they were provoked by two rogues in the city.

The two hooligans named Wu Zuo and Wu You, descended from Sun Shangxiang's mother's clan in the same hometown, they had a high status among the servants of the other courtyard. When it comes to the stability of the Sun Liu alliance, they turn a blind eye to it.

After Gan Qian returned to Jiangling, Sun Shangxiang was left out. Wu Zuo and Wu You were filled with righteous indignation. They did not dare to provoke Liu Bei, so they turned their attention to the people around Gan Qian.

During the past few months, the maids around Gan Qian, the servants in the courtyard, and the grooms were all bullied to varying degrees. Gan Qian couldn't bear it before she wrote to Lan Tian.

Wu Zuo and Wu You didn't dare to provoke the guards at first, because Chen Dao's guards were also Jiangling's elite, but the sudden change of the gate made them want to test it out.

Did Chen Dao replace the elite?The newly replaced guards were fully armored in the hot weather, maybe they were a few strong outsiders but capable insiders.

Just when the two were tentatively insulting, they were punched and kicked three times by the trapped soldiers until they vomited blood.

As soon as the master kung fu is shot, you will know if there is one.

Although Wu Zuo and Wu You have some martial arts skills, they are all full of punches and embroidered legs. They are not enough to look at in front of professional soldiers. In the end, when they were running away, they kept shouting: "Wait for me..."

The soldiers in the formation were all killing moves. Although they didn't use weapons, they still beat the Wu family brothers into a mess. Wu Zuo's right hand was broken, and Wu You's five teeth were knocked out.

The close servants were devastated outside, so they could only go back to Sun Shangxiang's other courtyard to complain.

"Those two soldiers were so rude. We just passed by the small courtyard, and we were beaten up like this. Miss, you have to give us back the decision."
