Jian An Kee

In two months, this is the first time I have read a personal message from Mr.He passed on this letter to me, stating that he would take a share of troops from Sun Quan for deployment before Lixia.

After reading the secret letter, I was surprised and speechless for a while.Zhou Yu is the prefect of Nanjun, leading the dignified position of partial general, can't he get a deployment of troops?It seems that the highest authority is very suspicious.

Having said that... Jiangdong's force distribution is no less complicated than any other side.As far as I know, in addition to the water defense line of Dajiang, the garrisons north of Dajiang and south of Hefei, the Jiaozhou garrison, and the recent attack on Xichuan and the defense of the Shanyue tribe's rebellion, etc., it is really a big project. I can't handle the content that can't be written in dozens of bamboo slips.

The weather is getting warmer, and the Shangsi Festival in March is coming.Although Jiangzuo is called a secluded land with contempt by people from the Central Plains, Shangsi is also an extremely important festival. Everyone has to go to the water's edge to bathe and change clothes to celebrate the arrival of spring.Aristocrats often choose this season to go out for outings, reciting poems and composing poems. Even ladies who have not been out of their boudoirs for a long time also take this opportunity to look at young men and talents.

I found out that Sun Quan was going to Beigu Mountain for the festival, so I hurriedly wrote a letter and asked him to take me to the General's Mansion.

He wrote back and said he would be back in two days, "It's all business, what is your little girl going there for?"

Business?Then I will go even more!So enduring the soreness of his teeth, he tremblingly transcribed a poem on the powder paper produced in Luoyang:

"Throw me a papaya, repay it with Qiongju, the bandit repays it, and it will always be good.

Vote for me with Mu Tao, and repay it with Qiong Yao.Bandit newspapers are also always considered good.

Vote for me with wood and plum, and return it with Qiong Jiu.It is always good to report to the bandits. "

Then, with great effort, the letter was folded into the shape of a peach blossom and sent to the general's mansion.

Sun Quan didn't reply, and the person who came to deliver the message said, "The general will send someone to pick him up tomorrow morning."

On the way back to the room, I ran into Zhou Xun. Seeing my cheerful appearance, he came over to say hello: "Hello, sister. Are you thirsty? Ah Xun will serve you some tea."

I brushed off the front of my shirt casually, and said lightly, "Ah Xun is very courteous today, let's talk. What's the matter?"

"I heard that my sister is going to Beigu Mountain tomorrow, can you take Ah Xun with you?" He lowered his head shyly, his ears turning red.

Zhou Xunsu always followed the rules in front of his elders, but there is no child who doesn't like to play, and he couldn't bear to encourage him secretly to make trouble with me.Zhou Xun's father was not at home, so her mother tacitly allowed me to take him out for a walk occasionally.

But this time I have a mission, so it is really not easy to take this oil bottle with me, so I rolled my eyes and said: "Ah Xun, there are sour scribes there, very boring. Next time Duanyang Sister Jie will take you to Dajiang to watch the dragon boat."

"Elder sister went." On his small face, which looked very much like Zhou Yu, there was a determined expression that was not commensurate with his age: "How can the place where my elder sister wants to go be boring?"

Ah, I can't say no to him!I pulled my face down: "Hey! Mr. Zhou, you are a man, and your sister is not here. If you want to take care of the housework, you must put the overall situation first."

He raised his head, holding back a bag of tears in grievance, his slender eyelashes were wet with tears, and he looked very pitiful, "Sister won't take me to play...Is it Ah Xun who annoys you?"

The child's offensive of tears immediately made me surrender: "That's all, cough, as long as your mother agrees, we will go."

Hearing this, he immediately put away his tears and laughed: "Yesterday, my mother told me to take my brother and me to my aunt's house for the holidays. I'll tell her right now, and she will definitely agree."

Seeing his scheming smile, I couldn't help being evil: "I can take you with me, the last condition," I pointed to my cheek, "you have to kiss me."

The little adult Zhou Asun's face turned red immediately, he hesitated for a while before making up his mind, and his neck was stuck like a heroic sacrifice, so I squatted down, closed my eyes in enjoyment and let him kiss, got up and walked leisurely into the yard, leaving my face flushed Young Master Zhou kneaded the hem of his clothes tangledly on the spot.

Looking back, it was sunny and sunny on the Shangsi Festival, with the fragrance of early spring flowers in the breeze, the sun was shining softly on the mountain road, and the mountains and plains were full of clan princes and ladies in fine clothes.

Most of the people who come to bathe in the water today are young men and women. I brought Zhou Xun as if I were setting up a stall to sell sesame seed cakes in the stock trading hall, and the exposure rate was extremely high.I dragged Zhou Xun along the mountain road, he was always stable in front of others, but under all these curious gazes, he was a little nervous, he would hold my hand tightly and look up at me from time to time.So I held his shoulders and gave him an encouraging smile.

The venue for this meeting was chosen at the southern peak of Beigu Mountain.The octagonal pavilion on the mountainside was completed in December last year.The artificially excavated curved water surrounds the pavilion for a week, and then is introduced into the plum blossom-shaped canal in the pavilion, and then flows out from the ground.On the top of the mountain, there are several renovated Qushui and large-scale summer houses, all of which have been built successively since last summer. Among them, the one with the most extraordinary momentum and the tallest pavilion on all sides is the "Guest House for Senior Officials" where Sun Quan himself will stay this time. .

I smiled and glanced at all the people in the "Sun's luxury holiday villa group" in the pavilion, and pushed Zhou Xun's arm: "Go over and say hello to General Sun."

Zhou Xun was wearing a small Sichuan brocade robe with a round collar in Chu color, his eyebrows were exquisite and picturesque, but his face was straightened. He looked at me, then at Sun Quan who was sitting in the pavilion with his back to him, and slowly went to Sun Quan to salute: "Zhou Xun met the general."

Seeing Zhou Xun here, Sun Quan couldn't help being astonished, and then he smiled a moment later: "Ah Xun and sister come to play together?"

"promise."

"Let's have fun." He stood up and brushed off his wide cuffs, exchanged a glance with me, and then patted Zhou Xun's small shoulder: "Guhui will order someone to take you around."

After saying that, he assigned two guards outside the pavilion: "Good life, take care of the young master, don't slack off."

Here I grabbed Zhou Xunqian and told him ten thousand words. At first he was able to listen quietly, but then he couldn't bear the excited expression on his face, and he was absent-minded.

Seeing him start to look around, I had no choice but to send him away, and watched the attendants walk away beside him, and couldn't help sighing.

Sun Quan approached calmly and hugged me from behind.I chuckled lightly and got out from under his arm: "What is the general doing? People are watching everywhere."

He didn't take it seriously: "Watch it if you like it, it doesn't matter what you want. But you, begged me to come and bring another child, what kind of 'reciprocation'?"

I couldn't help being scornful: "The general is as knowledgeable as a child. What if you drive him away?"

He reprimanded softly: "Nonsense. It's obvious that your Ah Xun ran away by himself."

"It's not you who encouraged..."

He clenched his fists on his lips and gave a fake cough to cover up his smile: "Well, you go up the mountain first, I'll look for you when I have time."

I tilted my head and asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

He smiled and took my hand: "It's just that a few adults came over to talk about ordinary business, you go first."

I reluctantly nodded, and walked up the mountain with the attendant Sun Quan called, while telling him: "You call the steward who is serving the general, and tell him that I have something to ask him."

The steward came, and I looked at him in surprise.What a young steward, apart from his awe-inspiring and inviolable righteousness, he also seems to be closing his eyes. Achieving such a high position in his early 30s shows that he is also a capable person.

I held up my skirt and stood on the side of the cobblestone road to avoid the pedestrians going up and down the mountain. I asked him, "Who will the general see later? When is he going to finish going up the mountain?"

"It's inconvenient for a villain to answer, Miss might as well ask the general." He replied respectfully.

I pretended to be angry: "If he is willing to say, what do I ask you for?"

"That's the rule in the house, please don't make it difficult for us to be servants." He spoke softly, without flinching in the slightest.

……

After the person walked away, I couldn't bear to complain to Huzhu: "This guy named Shen Yu is very annoying." Then I asked the attendant next to me: "Have you ever been so unreasonable when you are in charge of Shen Yu?"

The attendant laughed dryly: "Hey, please forgive me, Miss Zhou, but Guanshi Shen has always been upright and upright. Everyone in the house admires him very much."

Then I nodded understandingly, "In his position, it's not a bad thing to be cautious. General Sun has a lot of capable people around him."

Zhu'er followed closely beside me, beckoning me to get into the sedan chair in a good voice, "Don't get tired of your body if your shoes are dirty."

I smiled and drove her into the soft sedan chair and headed up the mountain to set up the room. I buried my head and stepped forward. After a while, the embroidered shoes were covered with dust, and even the temples were loose.

I don't know how long it took, and the surroundings gradually became quiet. The sun was still on the top of the tree, but it was blocked by the dense branches and leaves.The mountain wind moved slightly, and the leaves rattled.

I stopped under a pine tree to re-tie my hair, and suddenly heard voices coming from nearby, so I lifted up my skirt and tied it with my belt, and quietly climbed up the tree to look around.

Two men in black gathered a few feet away to whisper together, one of them turned his face slightly, it was clearly Sun Kuang.

In fact, Sun Kuangsheng has a good face. Compared with his elder brothers who look like his father, it is said that he is more like his deceased biological mother, with protruding eyebrows, taller than his elder brother, and his eyes are burning.My heart moved, I am afraid that this guy is not willing to let others down, if he hadn't passed away early, I don't know how many troubles will be added to Jiangdong's future because of him.

If they were discovered by the two of them, it might not be just a simple matter of embarrassment.I swallowed, and slipped down the tree silently and was about to take a step. I never thought that there would be a naughty squirrel holding a small branch, bouncing around and rushing towards my feet.

"Who is it?" The Fourth Young Master Sun turned his head abruptly when he heard the sound.

"Ah, isn't this Ms. Zhou?" He sensed my presence in an instant, pointed to the people next to him to leave, and walked towards me with graceful steps.

"I've seen the fourth son." I saluted awkwardly, and secretly tore off the tied skirt with one hand.

"Well, hello. Are you coming to play too?"

"No, I'm planning to go up the mountain."

"Not with brother?"

"The general said he has something to do, let me go first."

"Oh, is it?"

Looking at his cold expression, I thought that this person was probably looking for some trouble for me, but Shi Shi ran past me, went straight through the bushes to the other side of the road, and disappeared into the woods after a while.

Immediately, I felt that my face as if I was facing a big enemy was a bit depreciated, so I couldn't help but smiled and continued to move forward.Unexpectedly, Sun Kuang came back to stop me.

"Ok?"

"This direction is not the way up the mountain, you should leave from the left."

"No, thank you son."

At dinner in the evening, I told Sun Quan about seeing Sun Kuang. He frowned slightly, put down his chopsticks, and said slowly, "Ji Zuo is the most frivolous one. You should avoid dealing with him in the future."

"No." I was surprised that he had such a bad opinion of his own brother, so I paid extra attention to their brother's relationship.
