Chapter 416
Chapter 416
To be honest, Meng Chen didn't need to ask Mrs. Wu's consent at all, but in order not to leave an excuse for outsiders, this was the scene of today's special visit.

Mrs. Wu's request is not too much. Originally, Meng Chen also had such a plan, but facing such a thing as asking for a price, Meng Chen naturally wanted to bargain.

"Old lady, this matter is simple, Marquis Wu is still Marquis Wu..." Meng Chen deliberately paused at this point, then raised his eyes and forgot about the screen not far away.

Maybe others can't detect that there is a person hiding there, but for Meng Chen, this intuition is still there.

"Being comfortable and rich is also a good choice."

In the second half of the sentence, Meng Chen said it full of murderous intent. In other words, if you agree, you have to agree, and if you disagree, you have to agree.

However, Mrs. Wu laughed loudly: "Xiang'er is my favorite, Zilong likes this child very much."

Hearing the words, Meng Chen was taken aback for a moment, originally thought that he needed to talk a little bit, but seeing Mrs. Wu's expression, Meng Chen suddenly felt that he was on the right track.

"Yun, thank you, old lady!" Meng Chen hadn't answered, but Zhao Yun bowed and saluted.

"Zilong, this is wrong, why don't you change your mind?" Meng Chen hastily added, which made Zhao Yun blush, but Mrs. Wu just laughed.

That voice was as loud as it could be, and he looked at Zhao Yun with admiration in his eyes.

This scene just corresponds to the old saying "the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she looks at her, the more pleasing to her eyes".

In the following time, it was natural to have a good time drinking and chatting. Since Sun Quan was not sick, Mrs. Wu could only have a simple meal with Meng Chen and Zhao Yun.

Fortunately, the betrothal gift was given before, so Mrs. Wu didn't have to worry about the rest. As for the wedding day, as a mother, she naturally wanted to attend.

When leaving Wu's mansion, it was already sunset, but Meng Chen didn't go directly back to Gan Ning's prepared residence, but brought everyone directly to Zhou Yu's mansion.

As soon as the team arrived, Meng Chen found that the middle door of the Zhou Mansion had already been opened. Zhou Yu and his wife, Xiao Qiao, had been waiting here early.

"Brother Gongjin, how is your health?" Meng Chen was the first to speak without seeing him.

"Thanks to the general, Yu saved his life." Zhou Yu stepped forward to salute.

However, he was only halfway through the ceremony when he was stopped by Meng Chen: "Brother Gongjin, take care of yourself."

Zhou Yu was taken aback for a moment, he had heard about Corporal Meng Chen Lixian for a long time, and what he saw today really lived up to his reputation.

"Bitch, Mrs. Qiao!" Zhou Yu got up and let Xiao Qiao out sideways.

Xiao Qiao gave a slight look, while Meng Chen saluted here: "I have seen Mrs. Sister-in-law."

"This..." Zhou Yu and Meng Chen were taken aback for a moment, Meng Chen didn't follow the rules at all.

"Brother Gongjin, Xiang'er calls a certain elder brother, and brother Gongjin is a certain age older..." Meng Chen explained, and Zhou Yu was relieved.

Today's Meng Chen, I'm afraid he has already made up his mind to visit in his private capacity.

Hearing this, Xiao Qiao covered her mouth and laughed, "Sister Xiang'er said long ago that the General is different from others, and seeing him today is as expected."

"Sister-in-law is right, the biggest advantage of this person is that he is easy-going." Meng Chen's words immediately attracted everyone to laugh.

The change in the atmosphere made Zhou Yu's expression relaxed, but what Meng Chen didn't expect was that he was not the only one who came to Zhou Yu's mansion today.

"We have seen the great general." Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, and Han Dang said hurriedly.

"Haha, the three old generals are here. If you don't get drunk, you won't return tonight." Not only was Meng Chen not displeased with the appearance of the three people in front of him, but he was like an old friend he had seen for many years.

Turning around, Meng Chen said directly to Meng Shan: "Brother Shan, bring some good wine."

Meng Shan left as promised, and Meng Chen said to Zhou Yu with an apologetic expression: "Brother Gong Jin, I'm being rude."

"I've heard about the good wine in the General's hand for a long time, but today the General will have to pay for it." Zhou Yu said with a smile, and then pointed to Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, and Han Dang.

Warriors have always had a capacity for alcohol, and someone like Xiang Gaoshun who doesn't drink at all is really an exception!
After a banquet, everyone present was drunk, and even Zhao Yun, who was a prudent one, was a little garrulous when he spoke.

The only ones who didn't drink too much were Meng Chen, Zhou Yu, and Huang Gai.

Huang Gai has not recovered from his injury, and the remaining two have something to discuss.

Under Meng Chen's signal, Zhou Yu got up and led Meng Chen into another courtyard. Compared with the courtyard just now, this place is much quieter.

"This place is so quiet, Brother Gongjin is so elegant."

"Great General Miao Zan, this is all handled by the bitch."

"Oh? Mrs. sister-in-law is really unusual. Xiang'er mentioned Sun Shao in her letter, I don't know..." Meng Chen threw out the question first, which made Zhou Yu stunned again.

Everyone understood, Zhou Yu didn't intend to pretend anymore, so he said, "It's Madam who wants to see the general."

The lady Zhou Yu was talking about was naturally Da Qiao.

No matter in terms of interpersonal relationship or Jiangdong's stability, even if Da Qiao doesn't see Meng Chen, Meng Chen will still meet her.

Seeing Meng Chen nodded with a smile, Zhou Yu made a gesture of invitation, everyone understood.

At this moment, Meng Chen suddenly understood why Mrs. Wu was eager to fight for Sun Quan's interests.

As Mrs. Wu, Sun Quan is the son, and Sun Shao is the grandson, with fleshy hands and backs, but in the choice between son and grandson, Mrs. Wu is partial to her son.

Perhaps, Mrs. Wu has some reasons, but in the eyes of outsiders, the Sun family is a bit off the mark.

Especially the old ministers who followed Sun Jian and Sun Ce to conquer the world were naturally upset.

Strictly speaking, Sun Shao is the first heir, and Sun Quan's various practices after taking power also aroused the dissatisfaction of veteran officials.

Of course, this kind of dissatisfaction did not erupt when Jiangdong was stable, after all, they were all from the Sun family.

But it is different now, the Sun family has lost the right to control Jiangdong, and Meng Chen wants to subdue Jiangdong's veterans, so the arrangements for Sun Shao and Sun Quan are extremely important.

"I've seen the great general myself." Meng Chen had just entered a gazebo when he saw a woman rushing forward to salute.

Although the light was dim, Meng Chen could clearly see that the face of the person in front of him was very similar to that of Xiao Qiao, if it wasn't for the different clothes and eyes, it might be difficult to tell them apart.

"Madam please get up quickly." Meng Chen stretched out his hand in the air, there must be a difference between a man and a woman, let alone the one in front of him.

"Sister, the general is very easy-going. Didn't Sister Xiang'er say it long ago!" Xiao Qiao broke the embarrassing situation by appearing from the side.

"Why don't you see Sun Shao?" Meng Chen said subconsciously, and then he regretted it. At this point, the child should have gone to bed long ago.

"Shao'er has already rested, I will go now..."

Da Qiao was about to turn around, but was stopped by Meng Chen: "Wait a minute, madam, the child is still young, it's up to the adults to decide."

As soon as these words came out, Da Qiao's whole body was shocked, she never expected Meng Chen to be so direct.
