Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Sun Quan's marriage was chosen by Wu Guotai for him.The girl from Xie's family and Sun Quan also met two years ago, and they both have a good relationship.Sun Quan will be 20 years old this year, and the auspicious date is set in the twelfth lunar month, which means everyone is celebrating the achievements of this year.

Miss Xie's family was born in a family of officials and eunuchs.His father, Xie Yu, was from Shanyin, Kuaiji, and served as Shang Shulang and Xu Ling during the reign of Emperor Ling.After the Yellow Turban Army swept across the Central Plains, he resigned and returned to Jiangnan.He is wise, talented, benevolent and filial, and he has a very good reputation.His uncle Xie Zhen also had a good reputation. Because of his tireless learning, he was promoted as Xiaolian.

After Sun Ce captured Kuaiji, Xie Cheng, the eldest brother of the Xie family, joined Sun Ce's banner and actively assisted Sun Ce in opening up Kuaiji.Thanks to the assistance of Xie's family, the political situation in Kuaiji has been developing in favor of Sun Ce.

Some time ago, there was a shortage of officials in Soochow. Xie Cheng, his father and son, Xie Zhen, and his sons Xie Zan and Xie Tan all responded to Sun Ce’s enlistment. Xie Tan, in particular, passed the examinations of the above group at the age of 16 and became The county magistrate of Zhongzhong County under Kuaiji.

Both Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong praised Mrs. Wu's choice of this marriage.With the help of the Xie family in Kuaiji, Sun Quan will be relieved to go to Kuaiji for training in the future.

Sun Ce planned to release Sun Quan to Kuaiji in the next year.Originally planned to let him be the prefect of Kuaiji, but there was a severe shortage of people, so Zhu Zhi was transferred to Kuaiji to be the prefect, and Zhuge Jin was promoted to be the prefect of Wujun. Sun Quan arranged to be the prefect of Xindu County. To be Sun Quan's second assistant and assist him in managing the government affairs of Xindu.

This is a happy arrangement.

Zhu Zhi is a veteran who followed Sun Jian, and Kuaiji is a wealthy and large county. Whether it is qualification or ability, Zhu Zhi has the qualifications to assume the prefect of Kuaiji.And Zhuge Jin's transfer from Xindu County to Wu County was also a step up.

Zhuge Liang relied on Zhuge Xuan and Zhuge Jin's Yu Ze, even if he and Sun Quan were both newcomers to Xindu County as chief officials, it was convenient for him to act.

But Sun Ce never expected that while he was hugging his eldest daughter Jae-mei who had only been born for a few days, Sun Xiang would bring the evidence of Sun Quan's promiscuity to him.

In order to go to Xindu County to be the prefect, Sun Quan selected Bu Zhi, a clerk, among the reserve officials recruited by Zhang Zhao.When he and Zhuge Liang went to Bu Zhi's mansion, they met Bu Zhi's widowed wife and her daughter.Years ago, the mother and daughter came to Qu'a from Lujiang County to join Bu Zhi.The little girl has not yet grown up, she is extremely beautiful.Sun Quan put it in his heart after meeting him once, regardless of the fact that he and Mrs. Xie had just got married, he used all kinds of temporary residences from head to foot to give the little girl some flattering gifts.

Then he was caught by Sun Xiang who had been staring at him.In order to prove that he is better than Sun Quan, Sun Xiang used almost all kinds of methods, and he would never let go of any opportunity he could seize.

He not only reported the matter to Sun Ce, he also complained to Wu Guotai first.His little idea is very simple and clear, he wants to replace Sun Quan and go to Xindu County.

Let Wu Guotai say that this is because the age gap between the two boys is small, and Sun Quan, who is two years older, is not as smart and hardworking as Sun Xiang, so he has never been respected by Sun Xiang.However, in Sun Xiang's efforts to overwhelm Sun Quan, he ran further and further away.

Sun Ce put down his daughter and sent Sun Xiang to study.He sent someone to ask Sun Quan to go to Wu Guotai's main hall, and he went ahead and told his mother in detail about Sun Quan being instigated to accept Yuan Shu's eldest daughter.

"Mother, I was thinking that he was about to get married at the time, not a few years ago. Then I thought that he would have to take a concubine when he got married so late."

Sun Ce was not only angry with Sun Quan, but also Sun Xiang.Wu Guotai has a lot to worry about about Jiangdong's affairs, and she has to take care of Da Qiao and the newborn girl with Shao.They are already busy enough, but Sun Quan and his brothers still add to the chaos, so it is better for the younger Sun Kuang and Sun Lang to worry.

Wu Guotai frowned and said: "Zhong Mouyuan is a person who is more greedy for fancy clothes and delicious food. It is not surprising that he likes women. But Bu Zhi's niece is absolutely unacceptable."

"Is it because he appointed Bu Zhi to be the clerk?"

Wu Guotai could only nod.

"What I'm more worried about is that his hobby will be found out, and he will send someone to him casually. There are so many children in our house, it's hard to guard against."

"Aniang, what do you think? Shall I just stop him from taking concubines? Or stop him from going to Xindu County to be the prefect?"

Mrs. Wu shook her head, "If he is not allowed to go to Xindu County, Shu Bi will think he is doing the right thing. Sigh, this Shu Bi is more worrying than Zhong Mou."

The couple were talking, and before they had discussed how to deal with Sun Quan, Sun Quan arrived.

The young man looks upright and happy, no matter how you look at it, he looks like a human being.Just doing things that are not welcome.

Sun Ce suppressed his unhappiness, and asked him directly about the content of Sun Xiang's small report.

"Zhongmou, I heard that you have taken a fancy to the niece of your clerk Bu Zhi?"

Sun Quan smiled and nodded, "Brother, now that I have an official position, I am no longer a commoner."

Ha, this is still a struggle for common people, husband and wife.

"Then you want to take a concubine now?" Wu Guotai looked at Sun Quan and asked him with a straight face.

Seeing that his mother's expression was not right, Sun Quan quickly stood up and replied, "Aniang, I didn't think I would take a concubine now, but I want her to be a concubine after Ji."

It turns out that the step trainer hasn't reached the level yet!It can be seen that the jokes of later generations that Dongwu loves Lolita and Cao Cao likes people/wife also have a source.

"Zhongmou, how did your prefect of Xindu County come here? Did you rely on your elder brother to be Marquis of Wu and lead Jiangdong?"

"Yes."

Sun Quan was puzzled, what's the matter?Why are both mother and eldest brother so cold-faced?

Mrs. Wu had no choice but to break it down and explain it to Sun Quan.

"You rely on your elder brother to be an official. You are not promoted to be a filial and honest official like others because of your talent, character, and ability. At this time, you should think wholeheartedly about how to do a good job in the government affairs of Xindu County. , instead of thinking that you are not a commoner, so you can take concubines."

"Then Aunt, if I do well in Xindu County, can I become a step trainer?"

Sun Quan actively wanted to get a guarantee from his mother.

"You are dreaming."

Seeing his mother's bad face, Sun Ce reminded him of the bad memories after Ding's entry, and answered Sun Quan before Wu Guotai.

"Brother, A Niang." Sun Quan was extremely wronged, what happened to taking a concubine?

"I don't think you need to go to Xindu County. Next month, you will follow us to Shouchun and continue to work in the Governor's Mansion."

After Sun Ce finished speaking, he felt that his idea was very good. He turned to his mother and said, "I let Sun Hao go there in Xindu County, and he can afford it. Zhong Mou continued to study with Mr. Shui Jing. Mr. Jing has a problem with me sending Kong Ming to Xindu County."

Seeing that he was going to work as the prefect in Xindu County, Sun Quan was suddenly overwhelmed, and begged Sun Ce: "Brother, I don't want to take concubines anymore, let me go to Xindu County."

Sun Ce shook his head, "Zhongmou, it's not because I don't want you to be the prefect, but because you haven't figured out why I want you to be the prefect. When will you figure it out, and when will you come to me? You know Dong There are still many counties in Wu who need to adjust officials."

Sun Ce left a live message, which made Sun Quan's disheartened and disappointed face look hopeful again.

"Brother, give me a hint first."

Sun Ce shook his head and refused, "Think about it yourself, if you dare to ask others to find answers to fool you, you will never want to be in power in your life."

Sun Quan was afraid now, because Sun Ce always said the same thing at home and outside, so he answered discouragedly, and left the main hall slowly.

He hadn't gone far from the main hall when he met Xiao Wu who brought Sun Ren over.

"Zhongmou, what's the matter with you, why are you upset?" Xiao Wu pulled Sun Ren to stop and asked with concern.

"Auntie, alas, something happened." Sun Quan was very close to Xiao Wu, and he had an idea to ask his aunt at night, why Auntie and elder brother were so opposed to taking concubines.

"It's okay, it's okay. Auntie, I still have something to do, so I have time to find you. Auntie and elder brother are in the main hall. If you want to find elder brother, go in."

Sun Ce watched Sun Quan go out, and comforted his frowning mother, "Auntie, Zhongmou is the second son. He has no ambitions, so he only thinks about fancy clothes and gourmet concubines. Don't worry about him. You have a son to support you." With this family, there will be no shortage of food and clothing for him in this life."

Wu Guotai grabbed Sun Ce's hand and said, "Well, it would be nice if both Zhongmou and Shubi reconciled evenly, one is so confused that he doesn't know what he wants to do with his life, and the other is too ambitious and competitive. Bofu, I know you are capable. But this year's divination is not good for you. You should not go out to fight. Even on the way to Shouchun, even if you are in Qu'a City now, you must bring more guards. "

Seeing that his mother was worried about him, Sun Ce quickly assured him, "Don't worry, Ma'am, I won't go out to fight this year or next. I'll wait until the large territory I just acquired is well governed, stable, and prosperous. Wherever I go now, I can't do without it." The guards followed."

Seeing what Sun Ce said, Wu Guotai nodded in praise and said, "You just need to remember. All of this big family is on your shoulders. Don't forget your safety at any time. It is not only related to yourself, but also to Ah. Shao brothers and sisters. Look at the life of Emperor Liu Xie, if Emperor Ling is still there, how could he have lived so hard in the past ten years."

When it comes to the emperor Liu Xie, Sun Ce has lingering fears. If something happens to him, Ashao may not be as good as Liu Xie.Hurry up and reassure your mother that you will pay attention to your own safety.

Wu Guotai accepted it as soon as she saw it, "Wait a minute, I have something good for you."

She got up and went to the inner room to take out a three-foot long sword with an unremarkable dark green sharkskin scabbard.

"You are skilled, but it is safer to carry a sharp weapon for self-defense. It is better to keep the weapon in your hand at all times, rather than relying entirely on the guard."

Sun Ce stood up and took the long sword, and he immediately felt that the weight of the long sword was not enough and he felt a little dizzy.Pulling out a part, one could see the two-finger-wide blade with a cold light. After the long sword was completely unsheathed, the ice-like cold air enveloped a icy space with the sword flower he rolled up.

"Good sword. Really good sword."

Sun Ce breathed out on the sword, and then watched the water vapor on the sword immediately condense into ice, disappearing on the blade as if soaked in cold light.He looked left and right to find something suitable to try his sword on.

"You don't need to try it, this is definitely a good thing to cut iron like mud. You must remember to carry it with you at all times."

"Okay, Ma'am, don't worry, I'll always hang it on my body. Put it under the pillow when I sleep."

"That's good. I can feel at ease if you can do this."

The mother and son were talking, and Xiao Wu brought Sun Ren in. After Sun Ren saluted, he immediately stared at the long sword hanging on Sun Ce's waist.

"Brother, this scabbard is very special. Can you show me?"

Sun Ce treated the three Sun Ren sisters almost the same. He held the hilt of the sword and showed Sun Ren the scabbard, but he didn't let her draw the sword out.

"This is a sharp weapon for killing people. It's not easy for a little girl to touch."

Sun Ren pursed his lips, "Brother, I can draw a crossbow and hit half a hundred targets. My mother refused to teach me how to practice a gun. Brother, you can teach me."

Sun Ce quickly refused, "You have to listen to your mother, it's useless to pester me if she doesn't teach you how to practice a gun."

Xiao Wu watched her daughter and Sun Ce lingering with a smile, that's how to get rid of the brother-sister relationship.
