Jian An Kee

Chapter 21

The author has something to say:

Note 1: Lu Yi is Lu Xun, "Xun" is the name Sun Quan changed for him after his death.How many stories can be told in one word.

According to historical records, in November of the 14th year of Jian'an, Liu Bei married Sun Quan's sister.

Jingkou City became very busy.

When I saw Sun Shangxiang a few days later, she had stopped her tears and sat quietly in her room.The girls of the Sun family who had not left the pavilion crowded into the new house, curiously touching the dark blue gold silk Sichuan brocade wedding dress made by more than a dozen embroiderers overnight.

I only said one sentence to her that day: "Please live every day you can grasp."

She smiles like a proud black swan.Women in troubled times are just duckweed attached to men.She has already met Liu Bei, and the man she is going to marry has already been known by her. This is a bit of comfort for a woman.

She sat on the edge of the bed, turned her head down, hid the tears in her eyes, and said in a low voice: "I know my husband, a little more than he knows, and I have never let down the kindness of my parents and brothers. , always do something for them..."

After the wedding, Sun Quan held a banquet for three consecutive days.My aunt was still unable to attend during confinement, so I recommended myself to attend the banquet on behalf of the resident population of the Dudu Mansion.Attending the banquet with me was Zhou Yu's third uncle, Zhou Shang, also my third grandfather.

Zhou Yu has always been lukewarm towards his clansmen. In fact, he does not want his experience in the officialdom to affect the fate of his family.But the elders of the clan still pretended to be confused, and kept asking him to support the children of the clan.According to the third grandpa: there is no hundred-day red flower, let's take one step at a time.

The third grandfather is a very interesting person, smiling all day long, but unfortunately he has no skills. He was replaced by Yuan Shu when he served as the prefect of Danyang for less than three years.Thanks to Zhou Yu's blessing, he can basically receive a generous salary as long as he hangs around in the Senior Cadres Bureau.Fortunately, he is kind, so I agreed to go to the banquet with him, otherwise I would rather stay at home and take care of my little sister.

Speaking of the new child in our family, she is so obedient. She never cries or makes trouble, always smiles sweetly, sleeps when she is full, and gains weight in a few days. My aunt is very pleased about this.It is rumored that the General's Mansion intends to marry the younger sister to Sun Quan's only son, Sun Deng.As far as the status quo is concerned, this child is really a lucky star.

I bless her, despite my doubts that are too thick to resolve.Cute little princess, what color will your future be?

The current situation is a happy one.Among the people present at the banquet, Sun Shangxiang was smiling, shy and happy; Uncle Liu Huang was smiling, full of ambition; Sun Quan was also laughing, not knowing why.

I saw Lu Yi (Note 1) at the last seat, and I recognized his face.

As early as in Chaisang, Zhou Yu personally took me behind the screen because he was so annoyed by me, and studied all the civil servants and military generals who appeared on the stage.Because of his inexperience, the only time Lu Yi saw him was at the New Year's banquet.That time Zhou Yu laughed exaggeratedly, and pointed out a young scholar to me, "That's Lu Boyan, see? Mr. Pianpianjia."

Goodbye today, he looked a little absent-minded, pursing his lips and smiling in a daze.I have a little doubt in my heart, but I don't have time to study it carefully.I think of this time last year, when Sun Shangxiang and I were sneaking around in the garden of the General’s Mansion to look at the handsome Jiangdong talents, and she even laughed at me for being thick-skinned.It took only a year, but now it has become such a situation, which makes people feel very emotional.

Halfway through the banquet, the guests got up and changed their clothes one after another. I pleaded guilty with my elders, stepped back and changed my clothes, and then sneaked away.

Going along the corridor is the front hall. From a distance, the lights are brightly lit and the figures are swaying.Seeing that no one was paying attention to me, I turned around and walked deep into the garden as quietly as possible while holding up the hem of my skirt.

I learned from the servants earlier that the guards and military officers accompanying the adults attending the banquet today have opened separate tables and placed them in the garden. That is to say, if I am lucky, I may have the opportunity to find General Zhao Yunzhao.

It was a cold November night, and I wandered through the garden for a long time, but I didn't see any man who fit the criteria of "handsome and elegant".Until there were only a few lights left in my field of vision, I walked back in frustration, ready to make another plan.

At this moment, the garden has become quiet, with occasional military officers laughing loudly as they pass by.I caught a glimpse of a man in his thirties standing by the pond under the gazebo, standing crookedly, probably very drunk, grabbing the stone railing and vomiting non-stop.

I frowned in disgust and wanted to walk away, but for a moment I was worried that he would lose his balance and fall into the pond, so I had to lean over.Fortunately, my sharp eyes saw a servant passing by with a fruit plate, and I quickly sent him to take care of the drunk.

It didn't take a moment for the servants' screams to be heard by the pond.It turned out that the drunk guy had unexpectedly punched him in the face when the servant had just approached him.

I was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do, I was looking at each other with the injured servant, a tall figure walked around from the side of the pond, and asked in quite standard Luoyang dialect: "What happened here?"

I heard his accent sound like a northerner, and replied slowly: "There is nothing important, but a grown-up is drunk."

The visitor saw that I was dressed in a fine attire and that I was a female relative, so he bowed politely: "My lord, Zhao Yun, is the Chief Guard of Uncle Liu Huang. I wonder if I can help you?"

Sure enough, it was him, so it was no trouble at all.I smiled slightly and said: "Please General Zhao to help this drunk man to the middle hall, I will lead the way."

He nodded: "Miss please."

With Zhao Yun's strength, it's easy to subdue a drunken maniac.I was leading the way, with so many twists and turns in my heart, worried whether he would trust me.

The wounded servant followed me, his left cheek was swollen and glowed under the light, looking very funny.I told him to find two people to take care of the drunk maniac, and he obediently obeyed the order.

A few people came to the middle hall, Zhao Yun handed them over to the waiter, and bowed to me again: "It's getting late, please be careful, my lord, I will take my leave first."

"Please ask the general to take me to the front hall."

He seemed a little surprised, but still made a "please" gesture, and then led the way one step ahead of me;.I knew that I didn't have much time left, so I immediately asked, "Based on the general's hearing, is there anyone nearby who is eavesdropping?"

He turned sideways and looked at me cautiously.

"Don't be alarmed, general, please answer my question."

"Ma'am, I'm afraid I'm too drunk. I've never heard anyone trying to eavesdrop on the conversation."

I glanced around again, and said in my mouth: "The general got three kits, which should be able to keep Liu Huangshu safe. I just help when necessary."

Seeing that he didn't show a surprised expression, thinking that Mr. Lai had already explained to him in advance, I immediately felt relieved and said, "I'm Zhou Lan. If the general needs help, please come to the Dudu Mansion to find me."

The corner of his mouth was slightly raised: "Someone once told me about Miss."

"Okay, see you later." After I finished speaking, I saw that there was no one around, and I quickly walked through the side door and returned to the front hall.

The warm air inside the house is a completely different world from the outside world.I slowly rubbed my arms that were numb from the cold, and ran outside to take a look at the table: the whole hall was messed up, the third grandpa was already drunk and unconscious at the food table, only the huge number of Uncle Liu Huang was still courteous with the other wine fairies with.

I retreated behind the screen, scooped up the cold fish milk soup and took a few sips.Seeing this, the maid behind me immediately knelt down and lit the copper stove to warm up the dishes for me.

I supported my food with one hand, and looked tiredly at her deft and plain hands filling the charcoal and water.I reached out to touch her hairband and asked, "Is there any hot wine?"

"Returning to the guests, at the moment the table is served with sake, which is very strong; why don't you ask the kitchen to warm up some fruit wine and bring it over."

"Forget it." I withdrew my hand and took out a small pouch from my sleeve pocket, "This is for you, you go down first."

"Miss Xie." She took the reward, kowtowed to me, picked up the hem of her clothes, and retreated silently.

I stared at the steaming pot of fish milk soup in a daze.

A palm passed in front of me, and passed again.I was taken aback, then raised my head, and Sun Quan in casual clothes was looking at me with a smile.

"Ah, I have seen the general..." I hurriedly knelt down and saluted him.

He waved his hand indifferently: "Sit down." He lifted his clothes and sat opposite me.

The servants behind him quickly took away the dishes on the table, and put a tray between us.

"Want to drink fruit wine?" He picked up the gold-plated wine jug and shook it.

"Uh, just now, yes." I replied uncomfortably.Why does it feel like I have done something wrong in front of him every time...

"Alan, where did you go just now? I sent people to come over twice but didn't find you."

My face twisted, and I replied weakly: "Ah, it's too stuffy in here, let's go for a walk in the garden."

"It's cold outside now. Be careful of catching a cold after going out for so long." Sun Quan smiled and scooped up a bowl of fish soup by himself. "I've only been focusing on drinking all night. I'm very hungry now."

I hesitated to speak.

Seeing my strange expression, he put down the bowl: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." I picked up my own bowl and buried my face in it. In fact, I wanted to say: Hey buddy, I used that spoon in your hand.

I strongly felt that I didn't know him well enough to eat at the same table, but seeing his upright look... Cough, besides, the host is the host and I am the guest, that's all, let the host do as he pleases.

"Who did you come with today?" After drinking a bowl of hot soup, Sun Quan looked like a cat that had been patted.

I also put down the bowl, and unconsciously scratched the fish skeleton in the bowl with my chopsticks: "He third grandpa."

"Your third grandfather is... Zhou Shang, right?" He curled his lips with disdain, "I remember that the Zhou family didn't treat your father very well."

I have a little fire, he said what is going on with this!Sowing discord is not what a man should do.

"Okay, okay, this general is going to fight against you! Judging by your expression, it seems that you are going to bite me." He said "tsk", with smiles on the corners of his eyes and brows.Then I felt a cold face.

He, he actually touched my face with his hand?It's still a greasy hand that just touched a fish bone! ?

My mind has twisted to a certain level.

Without realizing it, he put a piece of meat into my bowl: "Look at you, I'm so guilty that I can't even speak. Just know it's wrong, don't be so guilty. Eat it, eat it, don't be polite."

I am completely speechless.

After complacently drinking three bowls of fish soup, Sun Quan's attendants came up and whispered something to him, his eyes swept to me, and then he smiled: "Alan, it seems that I have to go first, you eat slowly."

"No." Holding the wine glass, I guess my expression is scary.

He got up, and while waiting for his attendants to fold his clothes neatly, he said another word to me, and I choked immediately.

He said: "You go back later, and I will see you off."
