Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Empress Wu Lie 10

Sun Ce is handsome, open-minded, and frank in conversation. Such a person shows a respectful attitude and chats with Qiao Rui, who has a bold personality. Before they even came to Qiao Rui's house, the two have been friends for decades. He is as affectionate as his uncle and nephew.

Qiao Rui has been with Yuan Shu for some time, and Yuan Shu is not bad to him, so the General's Mansion is big enough and the location is good enough.When Sun Ce stepped into Qiao Rui's mansion, he was attracted by the style of the mansions of officials and generals that were different from what he was used to.The green plants on Qiaorui Mansion are generally tall and luxuriant, and the green tiles and white walls set off by the lush flowers and trees all have a distinct sparseness and atmosphere.The entire General's Mansion is not in the style of pure and charming Jiangnan scenery, but rather like the charm of the north, which runs through every tree and every blue tile in the General's Mansion.

Qiao Rui smiled and said to Sun Ce: "My house is different from other people's houses. Anyone who comes here for the first time will always look as surprised as you."

Sun Ce also nodded with a smile and admitted, "Uncle Qiao Shi is right. Your house is different from what you have seen in the past. These tall trees make people feel refreshed, even breathing comfortably."

Qiao Rui laughed out loud when he heard Sun Ce's words, this feeling really spoke to his heart.So he happily invited Sun Ce to the martial arts training ground in the mansion, and the two sat opposite each other on the high platform.

"My mansion made it like this on purpose. When I was young, I was in poor health, and I suffered from various disasters. I don't know how many people with high medical skills have been invited. I take more medicine than food. The Yangtze River was dyed black. Later, my grandparents invited a well-rounded alchemist to give me a knock, and said that I must live in a spacious yard with tall trees, and that my surname should be recorded from Qiao to a bridge, so that the The "bridge" that is convenient for thousands of people and nourished by thousands of people is my surname, which can make up for the wood that is lacking in my life. It's really not nonsense. My grandparents changed the yard where I lived, and my name After changing it, I became more alive and stronger. Hahaha."

Sun Ce also laughed along with Qiao Rui who was laughing loudly.The alchemists who have attained the Tao, the extraordinary charlatans who play tricks and deceive people, are all people with real skills, and even those who become immortals rarely hear rumors.

After the two had a happy chat for a while, Qiao Rui asked about Sun Ce's days in Jiangdu when he was a filial piety, and learned that he studied military art under the guidance of his mother, and practiced martial arts with his younger brother under the guidance of his mother. Talk to Sun Ce about his deceased father, Sun Jian.

"The majesty of General Polu is still widely circulated in the army. It is your father's old troops. When arguing with others, they will not avoid mentioning your father's past glory to prove their own extraordinary. Waiting for you in the army You have stayed longer and made some contributions. Even if those soldiers are not directly led by you, their hearts are toward you. At that time, it will be a matter of time before your father's old army returns. You Don't fight for a moment, if you can't bear this moment, you may have to endure it for a lifetime."

Sun Ce stood up and thanked Qiao Rui solemnly, "Uncle Xie Shi is willing to teach me. My nephew will remember to endure for a while, and wait until he has made his achievements in battle before talking about other things."

Sun Ce is no longer the ignorant son who his father was when he was the prefect of Changsha.Since his father passed away, he began to appreciate the word "forbearance". Until today, when Yuan Shu denied the existence of the marriage contract, he just put the strokes of "forbearance" in his heart a little bit more heavily and portrayed a little bit deeper.

During the past three years in Jiangdu, how many nights he secretly told himself that he must stand up in front of his mother, and must stand up in front of his younger brothers and sisters.Only myself, the eldest son, survived, and the family after losing his father continued to be a family.

Qiao Rui was willing to say this to Sun Ce because he looked bad when he came out of Yuan Shu's mansion, and because of his old acquaintance with Sun Jian, he wanted to remind and cherish the younger generation.

With a generous heart, he saw that Sun Ce accepted his words with sincerity, patted Sun Ce who sat down again, and comforted him: "These things will pass. When you reach my age, you will be grateful for all the hardships you encountered when you were young. Waiting for you Once you get married and start a family, when you think about the past few years, you will cherish it more and want to live a better life."

Qiao Rui's words cannot be understood by Sun Ce, who is about to reach the age of the crown.But he still nodded, indicating that he remembered these words.

The two talked more and more speculatively, and Qiao Rui left Sun Ce to eat at the mansion.

"Bo Fu, did you perform the coronation ceremony?" After a few bowls of rice wine fell down, Qiao Rui asked some casual private matters about Sun Ce.

Sun Ce nodded, "When my father was alive, because I was the eldest son, he held the crown ceremony for me in advance."

"Hey, what about your marriage?"

Sun Ce shook his head, "My nephew has not been engaged or married yet."

He immediately and resolutely concealed the fact that Yuan Shu was going to get married, Qiao Rui was Yuan Shu's trusted general.If some inappropriate words are passed to Yuan Shu, it will violate the heart of defense.

Qiao Rui remembered that he seemed to have heard about Yuan Shu's marriage with Sun Jian, but judging by Yuan Shu's attitude towards Sun Ce over the past year, it seemed that it was not the case.Such a good son...

Could it be that I misheard or misremembered?

Who cares, as long as Sun Ce is not engaged or married.He clapped his hands and called the officials in the mansion to come in.

"You go to the inner courtyard and ask your wife to bring the girl here. Come and meet Sun Polu's eldest son. We are also good family friends and good family friends, so there are not so many taboos."

The officials responded and left.

Qiao Rui looked at the nervous Sun Ce and said, "Uncle Shi's sons and daughters are not well-liked. He spent half his life in the army, and the inner court did not stop entering. In the end, as the alchemist said, only two daughters were killed."

Sun Ce couldn't answer the question, but seeing Qiao Rui pick up a bowl of wine and pour it into his stomach without any explanation, he quickly poured him another wine.

Qiao Rui wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth with his big hand, and said a little excitedly: "In this troubled world, they are so beautiful like flowers and jade. Alas, it is difficult to live a good life! This Both of them are treasures in my hands, so I would rather stay in the south with the lord, just want to protect these two hard-won daughters. I dare not go back to the north."

Sun Ce nodded. The unlucky ones who have been fighting and killing in the north in recent years are the unarmed people, as well as the delicate women and children in the inner house.

"The younger generation understands Uncle Shi's licking love. When my father was alive in the past, he loved the younger sister as much as Uncle Shi."

Qiao Rui let out a long sigh and said to himself, "It's a pity that I, as a father, can't help but keep them in my hands for the rest of my life."

This time, Sun Ce didn't know how to respond properly.

The ring pendant lightly bumped, and the melodious sound came from far to near.When the aroma of rouge seemed to cover the aroma of the wine bowl in front of him, Sun Ce immediately stood up and bowed down to the beautiful middle-aged woman who came in first.

Qiao Rui put down the wine bowl, and proudly introduced to the visitor: "Ma'am, this is Sun Polu's eldest son, Sun Ce, Sun Bofu. Captain Huaiyi of the Han Dynasty, No. 1 among the younger generation."

Qiao Rui pushed Sun Ce so high that Sun Ce's face was stained with alcohol, adding another three points of bonus.Although Sun Ce thinks that he can afford the No.1, he still remembers the words "There are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond heaven".

"Uncle Shi loves it and praises it, and my nephew is ashamed to be No. 1."

The middle-aged beautiful woman saw that the young man her husband introduced to her was Sun Jian's eldest son, and seeing Sun Ce's handsome description, she immediately fell in love with him.And a few days ago, he heard her husband talk about his bravery when he came back to the mansion. He talked about the court Taifu Ma Rizun who held the festival to appease the Guandong. matter.

She quickly reached out to help Sun Ce, and asked Sun Ce to get up.He praised Sun Ce full of praise.

"No wonder your uncle always mentions you recently, I don't know how many times he has praised you. Such a young and promising Captain Huaiyi like you, no one can afford the No.1 of the Han Dynasty except you .”

Sun Ce blushed completely when he was praised.

The two girls who came in with the beautiful woman let out a chuckle from the younger one, her voice was soft and clear, just like the chirping of a newborn oriole on a branch in March.

Qiao Rui pointed to the two girls and said, "Come, meet you Brother Sun."

The two girls obediently stepped forward to salute Sun Ce, and Tingting bowed down gracefully.Sun Ce hurriedly returned the courtesy, but the demeanor of the two made him uncontrollably glance at the faces of the two girls.

Then he froze there.

The older one wears double buns and is a bit taller...

When Sun Ce's eyes fell on her face, he couldn't take them away. He felt that the phrase "There are beautiful women, Gu Panxi" could not describe her eyes.Her eyebrows are picturesque, but she can't draw her beauty.I just feel that if there is a fish-sinking Xi Shi and a wild goose-falling Wang Qiang reborn in this world, they can't compare to this gentle beauty in front of me. The number one beauty in the Han Dynasty can only be the eldest girl of the Qiao family in front of me.

The second girl, who was a little shorter than the eldest girl of the Qiao family, had eyes full of spirituality, and seemed to be amused by the way Sun Ce looked at her sister in a daze.

Qiao Rui fondled the second daughter's hair, and said to Sun Ce, "Bo Fu, this is your eldest sister, and this is your second sister. Uncle Shi has no children, so I need you to take care of them in the future.".
