In the Han Dynasty, there was a ritual system for marrying wives.From hiring to marriage, one year for the emperor, half a year for the princes, one season for the doctor, and one month for the common people.
Mrs. Wu has been bedridden for a long time, and the sun is getting thinner.
Sun Quan's wedding was rushed, but after all, he was the younger brother of Marquis Wu, and he was directly related to the clan, which also meant celebrating for Mrs. Wu, so this time the arrangement was extraordinarily grand and gorgeous, even the former mansion was hung with red silk and satin.
After being overcast for a long time, today the dark clouds quietly dispersed, allowing a beam of golden light to pass through the thick clouds and pour onto the land of Kyushu, like the only ray of light bestowed by the sky in this dark and chaotic world, wanting to be pursued by people.
Ruan Qing leaned on the window sill with both arms, watching the fiery celebrations on the wooden beams outside, and pressed her fingertips on the damp window lattice.
His throat was uncomfortable with the tight collar of his neck, he raised his hand to tug, as if thinking of something, he stopped abruptly halfway, and put it back on the window sill.
"In two days, there will be a major general's wife in Marquis Wu's mansion." He said casually, his gaze kept on the weak grass in the garden in the courtyard.
"Marquis Wu is very concerned about this time." Lu Su, who was sitting in the back room writing official documents with downcast eyes, raised his head and looked towards the dim light outside.
Ruan Qing was wearing a loose coat with long sleeves, three thousand blue hairs scattered on her shoulders, her hair on both sides was loosely tied behind her head with a hair band, her figure was dark, her figure was thin and smooth, like the willful writing of a poet, she was an indescribable literati.
"I heard that the Marquis of Wu issued several edicts in succession, ordering the prefect of Danyang, who was guarding other places, to rush back to the banquet." Lu Su said.
Now the prefect of Danyang is Sun Ce's third brother, Sun Yi.
"Qing is going to the Marquis of Wu." After speaking, Ruan Qing got up, went to get some scrolls of bamboo slips piled up on the desk, and asked, "Is there anything you need to pass along the way?"
"Yes." Lu Su hurriedly put down his pen, and turned sideways to pick up the official business on the desk, "These volumes, Moore, please pass them to Ziyu in the backyard."
"it is good."
Ruan Qing came out of Zhuge Jin's courtyard and was going to Sun Ce's study.
In the past few days, Sun Ce would call him over to do some private affairs under the pretense of asking about business affairs.
He refused several times, but it was not good to keep refusing, lest others would see something, and there would be rumors that he was engaged in a disagreement with Marquis Wu.
There was a person standing on the corridor not far away, with a broad back and waist, and a tall and straight figure, just like a lonely pine.
There is more than one way to go to the study.
He turned around to go to the round door on the low wall, when the man called from behind, "Sir."
Stopping, he looked down at the tender grass, sighed softly, and turned around.Sun Quan had already strode towards him, and stopped in front of him in two or three steps.
Ruan Qing raised her head, her gaze was as light as a white feather, and she fell on the opponent, as light as a mountain spring, sweeping across the opponent's face.
"Major General." He nodded and called out respectfully, like the most restrained courtier.
Sun Quan looked at the person in front of him, his fists gradually clenched, his fingertips turned pale, and a look of pain flashed in his eyes, "Sir, do you really want to be your brother's aide with peace of mind, and draw a line with Quan?"
The assistant officials who worked in Wuhou's mansion all called Sun Quan to be a major general.At the beginning, Ruan Qing called "Young Master" because he was thinking of Cao Ang.
Ruan Qing snorted lightly, "What do you mean, Major General?"
"What do you mean, sir, don't you understand?" Sun Quan's jaw line tightened, showing a bit of coldness, and he raised his hand to touch Ruan Qing's collar.
Before the fingertips touched it, Ruan Qing took a step back and dodged it.Ruan Qing's eyes revealed a look of wariness.
"Heh." Sun Quan smiled wryly, revealing a little downcast, "You never wear high-necked clothes, saying that a tight neck is uncomfortable. Why do you wear them again now? Do you want to hide any traces, sir?"
"Since the major general already knows, why bother to say it?" He put his palm on his throat, "Qing and the major general are just two intersecting straight lines, they meet for a moment, and then gradually drift apart."
The day before yesterday, he and Sun Ce were the only ones in the study. Sun Quan must have seen something.
"Sir..." Sun Quan's eyebrows trembled slightly, pain, unwillingness, or other expressions flashed in his eyes. He opened his mouth and said hoarsely, "Brother, he is not suitable for you. You..."
"Qing knows." Before Sun Quan finished speaking, Ruan Qing interrupted the other party. He tilted his head in the other party's astonishment, and smiled playfully, "As a subject, how can you not know the monarch. Qing's understanding of Marquis Wu, It is far from the scarcity that the major general thought."
"Then why do you..."
"Young General." Ruan Qing suddenly turned his gaze cold, "No matter what happens to Qing and Marquis Wu in the future, it has nothing to do with you."
Nothing to do with you...
Sun Quan's pupils constricted, as if a mountain and river were collapsing, as if someone had hammered his heart hard, and his breathing became short of breath.
Putting his hands on Ruan Qing's shoulders, his eyes were red and he gritted his teeth. His breathing was unsteady, and his voice was trembling, "Why?"
Ruan Qing is not a smart person, even now that he has the means and scheming to fight in Vanity Fair, he still thinks that he cannot be classified as a smart person.
But at this moment, he understood Sun Quan's question after these three words.
Sun Quan was asking him why the two of them had been together for a year and their love was deeply rooted, but they refused to forgive him for marrying his wife this time.But he and Marquis Wu are only monarchs and ministers, and Marquis Wu has many beautiful concubines besides his wife, but he doesn't seem to see it, and he can still spend time with Sun Ce.
He raised his hand, wanting to break Sun Quan's hand, but the other party was like an iron band, and did not move at all.
He looked at Sun Quan's eyes, which were so close at hand, the sockets were red, because of anger, because of unwillingness, even the eyeballs were a little bloodshot, as if bright red blood would gush out in the next moment.
"Have you had enough trouble?" Ruan Qing looked at Sun Quan calmly.
Sun Quan was stunned for a moment.
Ruan Qing was able to push Sun Quan's hand away, and took a few steps back to a safe distance.
"No why."
Sun Quan was like a wounded beast, looking panic-stricken, watching Ruan Qing retreat.He seemed to sense something.Ruan Qing probably won't stop this time.
"Sun Quan." Ruan Qing said, "Nine times out of ten, there are unsatisfactory things in the world. Your whole life should be dedicated to Jiangdong, to expand the territory, not like now, because of a little unsatisfactory, you will show a gloomy color.
I, Ruan Qinghanchuang, studied hard for more than ten years, and came to Jiangdong from a long distance. Since I entered Wuhou's residence, I didn't come here to talk about love.The world is not peaceful, Jiangdong is not stable, how can we hesitate to move forward because of a little thing. "
After finishing speaking, he turned around and left quickly, regardless of Sun Quan's lonely expression.
Because he likes it, he can't forgive Sun Quan for breaking the oath of the day and trying to hide his marriage from him.He is a person who is afraid of trouble. When he finds that the difficulties to face are greater than the joy, he chooses to let go.
It was precisely because he didn't like it that he didn't care about Sun Ce's back house.Sun Ce has always been unrestrained, and it has nothing to do with him if he is sincere to him.
There was a clear pain in the heart, spreading to the limbs, and it became difficult to breathe.
Ruan Qing stared ahead without stopping, her hands tightly clutching the clothes on her chest.
For a ruthless and ungrateful person like him, who can ignore even ten years of teaching, he probably doesn't deserve to be treated sincerely by others.
After the hustle and bustle surrounded by red silk, Wuhou Mansion was wrapped in onyx overnight.
As servants and bureaucrats of Wuhou's mansion, they all went to pay homage in mourning clothes.
Ruan Qing looked at the back of the person in front of her indifferently, a little idle.
As the rows of people in front retreated after paying homage, it was finally his turn.
As the people in front left, he saw a white gauze hanging from the upper hall, and he could vaguely see a dark tablet behind him.
This wife who raised two heroes had a bumpy life, never complained about suffering, and finally disappeared in the pain.
Following the long voice of the ceremonial officer at the side, he yelled to kneel.
He sat down on his knees with the people beside him and wrote three songs.
When I got up, just as the breeze was blowing outside the window, the white gauze curtain was lifted, and I was able to see a corner.
The censer was lit inside, and white smoke curled up, like steaming clouds, covering the memorial tablet.
The smoke disperses easily.
This man is dead.
Ruan Qing thought to herself.These days, the suffocation that had been suppressed in his heart by Sun Quan's forced marriage seemed to dissipate a bit, and even his breathing became more comfortable.
When he turned around to leave the hall, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, which flashed past, and then changed into a slightly sad expression.
After going out the door, a man in plain clothes walked quickly in the distance, he was not very old, and he was probably a weak man.His face was white and thin, and he seemed to be sick, and his eyes were red, obviously the sequelae of crying too much.
He ignored Ruan Qing and the others, passed them by, and entered the lobby.
The person Ruan Qing saw was familiar.But he couldn't remember who it was for a while, so he tilted his head and asked Lu Su who was going back to the courtyard with him.
"It's the fourth son." Lu Su said.
Ruan Qing just remembered.Before he went out with Sun Ce and met Sun Kuang.Although the impression is not deep, it is definitely not the sick and weak look now.
Now that the plague is rampant and medical treatment is backward, if the body is weak, it may be difficult to grow up.
But these are not things he should consider.
----
The weather is getting cooler.
During the period of national mourning, troops are not allowed.But the business in Fuchu is running as usual.
These days he was always by Sun Ce's side, and some rumors spread in the mansion that he was a newcomer who led Linhai together with Sun Quan, and now he was valued by Sun Ce, and sooner or later he would be entrusted with important positions.
He just thought it was funny.
The golden sunlight outside the window spilled into the quietly decorated study room, fell on the dark floor, and stopped in the inkstone on the case where the ink was not yet dry.
The room was silent, except for the crisp sound of a chess piece being knocked off the board from time to time.
It wasn't until a servant sent a letter that Sun Ce put down the white chess in his hand and opened the scroll to read.
Ruan Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and was finally able to breathe under the pressure of every step of the way.The black chess piece is played between the slender white fingers, and the eyes are shuttling across the vertical and horizontal lines of the chessboard, looking for the exit.
The breathing of the person in front of him suddenly became heavier.He raised his eyelids and cast his eyes lightly on the person opposite.
Now that it is the time of mourning, Sun Ce can no longer wear those bright colors, but after all, he is the monarch of a place, and it is not easy to wear too rough clothes, so he is dressed in plain and soft materials, embroidered with light plant dark patterns in the sun. The bottom is glowing with agility and color.The waist is tied with a belt of the same color, and the waist is strong.
Without the dazzling colors, Sun Ce's handsome face is more and more outstanding.Like a son of a wealthy family who has read poetry and books.The other party's thick and handsome sword eyebrows frowned, dark clouds gathered in the amber eyes, and the knuckles holding the brocade book turned blue and white.
"boom!"
Sun Ce slapped the white silk on the table, causing the chess piece to jump slightly.
"Come here. Mr. Zhang, Ziheng, Zijing, Gongfu, Ziyi... come to the front hall to discuss matters."
Ruan Qing raised her brows incredulously.These are the confidantes of Wuhou Mansion.
"Wait." When the servant was about to leave, Sun Ce called out again.
Sun Ce frowned as if he was about to tie a knot, he pursed his thin lips tightly, as if he was thinking about something, before he asked after a few seconds, "Is Brother Quan still in the mansion?"
Two days ago, Sun Ce had just assigned a mission to Sun Quan, and he was about to be dispatched to other places.
"It's still there. Second Young Master hasn't left yet." The servant said.
Sun Ce got up slowly, with his hands on his back, and stood in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside. He was tall, with a wide back and a narrow waist, and his shadow was long on the ground. Reflecting the early autumn scenery outside the window, it made people feel a bit out of date. lonely.
After another moment of silence, he said, "Then call him here too."
"No." The servant bowed and stepped back.
It seems that this chess game is impossible.It took a lot of effort to see a little flaw in the opponent. If it continues, the outcome is uncertain.
Ruan Qing dropped the chess piece in his hand on the criss-cross, and then changed hands to get the letter that made Sun Ce unable to sit down.
After hastily scanning, Ruan Qing's eyes moved slightly, and she looked up at Sun Ce's figure.
His eyes are still faint, like an outsider, watching the people in the game struggling, his eyes are clear and terrifying.The shadows cast by the slender eyelashes like small fans are reflected in the pupils of the eyes, covering up the thinking and calculation hidden under the clear eyes.
Putting the letter down, he got up, walked to Sun Ce, and looked sideways at the man's undulating facial features.
"Marquis Wu is looking for these people, is he going to send troops?"
After hearing this, Sun Ce turned his head slightly, looked at Ruan Qing, his eyes were icy cold, this was the indignity of the superior, "What do you think?"
Ruan Qing shook her head slightly, "Let's talk about it when Chang Shi and the others come."
Sun Ce was noncommittal, but looked out of the window with even darker eyes.
After Sun Ce's uncle Wu Jing passed away, the post of Danyang prefect became vacant, so Sun Yi was asked to take his place.Now I don't want Bian Hong to plan to kill him.
The letter stated that Bian Hung had fled to the mountains and had not been arrested so far.But the few people who were close to Bian Hong on weekdays were afraid of being affected, and wanted to offer Danyang to Liu Fu, who was under Cao Cao.
The person he was looking for came quickly.
Sun Ce put the letter there, apparently not intending to hide it from Ruan Qing, and did not let Ruan Qing avoid it, so Ruan Qing also sat next to Lu Su on the table.
Sun Ce sat on the upper couch with a golden sword, raised his hand slightly, and a servant held the letter in both hands and presented it to Zhang Zhao.
The letter passed through everyone's hands, and everyone who read the content showed a stern look on their faces.
Sun Quan's eyes were red and bloodshot when he saw it. He stood up abruptly, clasped his fists at Sun Ce, gritted his teeth, and said, "Bian Hong bullied me too much. My brother is willing to lead an army to calm Danyang and capture Bian Hong alive. I hate Xue Wu."
Sun Ce raised his hand, "I want to raise an army myself and send troops to Danyang."
The general applauded loudly, and the civil servants looked at each other without making a sound. Only Zhang Zhao, who was seated first at the bottom, said, "The old lady has just left, and she has not withdrawn now. If Marquis Wu rashly sends troops, it may cause criticism from others. It is still the major general's relatives." It's best to go."
Sun Ce said, "My third brother and I are siblings. Now that my mother has passed away and this incident happened again, Ce must personally bring an army to go, otherwise, in the future, how will Ce have to see his parents. Zhongmou, you will take office soon. , this time there is no need to go.”
Seeing that Sun Ce was like this, Zhang Zhao didn't know how to persuade him, so he stopped talking.
Sun Ce issued another series of orders, and everyone stepped forward to take orders.Ruan Qing also accompanied the army.
When Sun Quan heard Ruan Qing's whereabouts, his heart ached uncontrollably.He is going to another place again, and he does not know when he will come back.If Ruan Qing went out with the army, time was running out, and the chances of meeting him were much less.More likely, we won't see each other for several years.
Thinking of this, he became anxious again, and before he could even react, he said, "No."
When he said these words, he suddenly woke up, and saw that everyone was looking at him with doubts in their eyes.
yes.Ruan Qing was an official of Marquis Wu.What's wrong with Marquis Wu letting him accompany him?
There was bitterness in his mouth, his throat slipped, but he couldn't swallow the taste.With a hoarse voice, he explained, "Mr. Ruan's civil service is in Wu County, and he is in charge of many documents. If he joins the army, he may delay his official duties."
The corners of Sun Ce's lips raised slightly, but there was no deep meaning in his eyes, without any smile, "This matter is not difficult, just leave it to Zijing. Muer and Zijing share the same room. Muer went to Linhai for a year, and his official duties are all Zijing handles it. Come to think of it, Zijing is already familiar with the road."
Lu Su, who had to increase his workload inexplicably, smiled wryly, "No."
Sun Quan didn't say anything anymore, but just looked at Ruan Qing, seeing that the other person's eyes didn't fall on him from the beginning to the end, the sourness in his heart became more and more intense.There was obvious hurt and bitterness in his eyes.
Everyone was waiting for Sun Ce's order, and their eyes were all on Sun Ce.Only Sun Ce, who was sitting at the top, saw Sun Quan's expression, and tapped his finger on his knee lightly.
In the end, it was scheduled to go out one day later, and everyone dispersed.
Sun Quan kept looking at Ruan Qing. Ruan Qing's position was lower than him, and he had to go out earlier than him. He was about to catch up, but was stopped by Sun Ce and left alone.
Everyone does not suspect him, after all, they are brothers.
Ruan Qing and Lu Su walked back together.
He has to go back and make clear arrangements for his official duties when he is not in Wu County these days.
People all returned to their offices, and the number of people around them gradually decreased.
Putting his hands together, he sighed softly.
"Why are you sighing?" Lu Su said, "I haven't said anything yet."
"Bian Hong, as I remember, it seems to be considered an aristocratic family." Ruan Qing said, "Marquis Wu has been gradually accepting the aristocratic family these years, but something happened again, I'm afraid..."
Lu Su was startled when he heard that, and he was lucky, "Bian Hong doesn't represent the entire Jiangdong clan, so Marquis Wu probably won't beat everyone to death with a stick."
"Brother Zijing." Ruan Qing gave Lu Su a helpless look, "If you leave out the word 'should', your words will be more believable."
Lu Su was silent for a moment, "Marquis Wu has been relying on you a lot these days. When the time comes, you might as well try to persuade him. If you want to come to Marquis Wu, you can listen a little bit."
"I hope." Ruan Qing sighed again.
The author has something to say:
I suddenly fell into a pit recently, and I don’t understand what’s the point of writing it down, alas——

Thanks to the little angel of irrigation nutrient solution: - Nanmu Qiao - 5 bottles;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Mrs. Wu has been bedridden for a long time, and the sun is getting thinner.
Sun Quan's wedding was rushed, but after all, he was the younger brother of Marquis Wu, and he was directly related to the clan, which also meant celebrating for Mrs. Wu, so this time the arrangement was extraordinarily grand and gorgeous, even the former mansion was hung with red silk and satin.

His throat was uncomfortable with the tight collar of his neck, he raised his hand to tug, as if thinking of something, he stopped abruptly halfway, and put it back on the window sill.
"In two days, there will be a major general's wife in Marquis Wu's mansion." He said casually, his gaze kept on the weak grass in the garden in the courtyard.
"Marquis Wu is very concerned about this time." Lu Su, who was sitting in the back room writing official documents with downcast eyes, raised his head and looked towards the dim light outside.
Ruan Qing was wearing a loose coat with long sleeves, three thousand blue hairs scattered on her shoulders, her hair on both sides was loosely tied behind her head with a hair band, her figure was dark, her figure was thin and smooth, like the willful writing of a poet, she was an indescribable literati.
"I heard that the Marquis of Wu issued several edicts in succession, ordering the prefect of Danyang, who was guarding other places, to rush back to the banquet." Lu Su said.
Now the prefect of Danyang is Sun Ce's third brother, Sun Yi.
"Qing is going to the Marquis of Wu." After speaking, Ruan Qing got up, went to get some scrolls of bamboo slips piled up on the desk, and asked, "Is there anything you need to pass along the way?"
"Yes." Lu Su hurriedly put down his pen, and turned sideways to pick up the official business on the desk, "These volumes, Moore, please pass them to Ziyu in the backyard."
"it is good."
Ruan Qing came out of Zhuge Jin's courtyard and was going to Sun Ce's study.
In the past few days, Sun Ce would call him over to do some private affairs under the pretense of asking about business affairs.
He refused several times, but it was not good to keep refusing, lest others would see something, and there would be rumors that he was engaged in a disagreement with Marquis Wu.
There was a person standing on the corridor not far away, with a broad back and waist, and a tall and straight figure, just like a lonely pine.
There is more than one way to go to the study.
He turned around to go to the round door on the low wall, when the man called from behind, "Sir."
Stopping, he looked down at the tender grass, sighed softly, and turned around.Sun Quan had already strode towards him, and stopped in front of him in two or three steps.
Ruan Qing raised her head, her gaze was as light as a white feather, and she fell on the opponent, as light as a mountain spring, sweeping across the opponent's face.
"Major General." He nodded and called out respectfully, like the most restrained courtier.

"Qing knows." Before Sun Quan finished speaking, Ruan Qing interrupted the other party. He tilted his head in the other party's astonishment, and smiled playfully, "As a subject, how can you not know the monarch.

"Then why do you..."
"Young General." Ruan Qing suddenly turned his gaze cold, "No matter what happens to Qing and Marquis Wu in the future, it has nothing to do with you."

Ruan Qing was able to push Sun Quan's hand away, and took a few steps back to a safe distance.
"No why."
Sun Quan was like a wounded beast, looking panic-stricken, watching Ruan Qing retreat.He seemed to sense something.Ruan Qing probably won't stop this time.
"Sun Quan." Ruan Qing said, "Nine times out of ten, there are unsatisfactory things in the world. Your whole life should be dedicated to Jiangdong, to expand the territory, not like now, because of a little unsatisfactory, you will show a gloomy color.
I, Ruan Qinghanchuang, studied hard for more than ten years, and came to Jiangdong from a long distance. Since I entered Wuhou's residence, I didn't come here to talk about love.The world is not peaceful, Jiangdong is not stable, how can we hesitate to move forward because of a little thing. "
After finishing speaking, he turned around and left quickly, regardless of Sun Quan's lonely expression.

Sun Ce slapped the white silk on the table, causing the chess piece to jump slightly.
"Come here. Mr. Zhang, Ziheng, Zijing, Gongfu, Ziyi... come to the front hall to discuss matters."
Ruan Qing raised her brows incredulously.These are the confidantes of Wuhou Mansion.
"Wait." When the servant was about to leave, Sun Ce called out again.
Sun Ce frowned as if he was about to tie a knot, he pursed his thin lips tightly, as if he was thinking about something, before he asked after a few seconds, "Is Brother Quan still in the mansion?"
Two days ago, Sun Ce had just assigned a mission to Sun Quan, and he was about to be dispatched to other places.
"It's still there. Second Young Master hasn't left yet." The servant said.
Sun Ce got up slowly, with his hands on his back, and stood in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside. He was tall, with a wide back and a narrow waist, and his shadow was long on the ground. Reflecting the early autumn scenery outside the window, it made people feel a bit out of date. lonely.
After another moment of silence, he said, "Then call him here too."
"No." The servant bowed and stepped back.
It seems that this chess game is impossible.It took a lot of effort to see a little flaw in the opponent. If it continues, the outcome is uncertain.
Ruan Qing dropped the chess piece in his hand on the criss-cross, and then changed hands to get the letter that made Sun Ce unable to sit down.
After hastily scanning, Ruan Qing's eyes moved slightly, and she looked up at Sun Ce's figure.
His eyes are still faint, like an outsider, watching the people in the game struggling, his eyes are clear and terrifying.The shadows cast by the slender eyelashes like small fans are reflected in the pupils of the eyes, covering up the thinking and calculation hidden under the clear eyes.
Putting the letter down, he got up, walked to Sun Ce, and looked sideways at the man's undulating facial features.
"Marquis Wu is looking for these people, is he going to send troops?"
After hearing this, Sun Ce turned his head slightly, looked at Ruan Qing, his eyes were icy cold, this was the indignity of the superior, "What do you think?"
Ruan Qing shook her head slightly, "Let's talk about it when Chang Shi and the others come."
Sun Ce was noncommittal, but looked out of the window with even darker eyes.
After Sun Ce's uncle Wu Jing passed away, the post of Danyang prefect became vacant, so Sun Yi was asked to take his place.Now I don't want Bian Hong to plan to kill him.
The letter stated that Bian Hung had fled to the mountains and had not been arrested so far.But the few people who were close to Bian Hong on weekdays were afraid of being affected, and wanted to offer Danyang to Liu Fu, who was under Cao Cao.
The person he was looking for came quickly.
Sun Ce put the letter there, apparently not intending to hide it from Ruan Qing, and did not let Ruan Qing avoid it, so Ruan Qing also sat next to Lu Su on the table.
Sun Ce sat on the upper couch with a golden sword, raised his hand slightly, and a servant held the letter in both hands and presented it to Zhang Zhao.
The letter passed through everyone's hands, and everyone who read the content showed a stern look on their faces.
Sun Quan's eyes were red and bloodshot when he saw it. He stood up abruptly, clasped his fists at Sun Ce, gritted his teeth, and said, "Bian Hong bullied me too much. My brother is willing to lead an army to calm Danyang and capture Bian Hong alive. I hate Xue Wu."
Sun Ce raised his hand, "I want to raise an army myself and send troops to Danyang."
The general applauded loudly, and the civil servants looked at each other without making a sound. Only Zhang Zhao, who was seated first at the bottom, said, "The old lady has just left, and she has not withdrawn now. If Marquis Wu rashly sends troops, it may cause criticism from others. It is still the major general's relatives." It's best to go."
Sun Ce said, "My third brother and I are siblings. Now that my mother has passed away and this incident happened again, Ce must personally bring an army to go, otherwise, in the future, how will Ce have to see his parents. Zhongmou, you will take office soon. , this time there is no need to go.”
Seeing that Sun Ce was like this, Zhang Zhao didn't know how to persuade him, so he stopped talking.
Sun Ce issued another series of orders, and everyone stepped forward to take orders.Ruan Qing also accompanied the army.
When Sun Quan heard Ruan Qing's whereabouts, his heart ached uncontrollably.He is going to another place again, and he does not know when he will come back.If Ruan Qing went out with the army, time was running out, and the chances of meeting him were much less.More likely, we won't see each other for several years.
Thinking of this, he became anxious again, and before he could even react, he said, "No."
When he said these words, he suddenly woke up, and saw that everyone was looking at him with doubts in their eyes.
yes.Ruan Qing was an official of Marquis Wu.What's wrong with Marquis Wu letting him accompany him?
There was bitterness in his mouth, his throat slipped, but he couldn't swallow the taste.With a hoarse voice, he explained, "Mr. Ruan's civil service is in Wu County, and he is in charge of many documents. If he joins the army, he may delay his official duties."
The corners of Sun Ce's lips raised slightly, but there was no deep meaning in his eyes, without any smile, "This matter is not difficult, just leave it to Zijing. Muer and Zijing share the same room. Muer went to Linhai for a year, and his official duties are all Zijing handles it. Come to think of it, Zijing is already familiar with the road."
Lu Su, who had to increase his workload inexplicably, smiled wryly, "No."
Sun Quan didn't say anything anymore, but just looked at Ruan Qing, seeing that the other person's eyes didn't fall on him from the beginning to the end, the sourness in his heart became more and more intense.There was obvious hurt and bitterness in his eyes.
Everyone was waiting for Sun Ce's order, and their eyes were all on Sun Ce.Only Sun Ce, who was sitting at the top, saw Sun Quan's expression, and tapped his finger on his knee lightly.
In the end, it was scheduled to go out one day later, and everyone dispersed.
Sun Quan kept looking at Ruan Qing. Ruan Qing's position was lower than him, and he had to go out earlier than him. He was about to catch up, but was stopped by Sun Ce and left alone.
Everyone does not suspect him, after all, they are brothers.
Ruan Qing and Lu Su walked back together.
He has to go back and make clear arrangements for his official duties when he is not in Wu County these days.
People all returned to their offices, and the number of people around them gradually decreased.
Putting his hands together, he sighed softly.
"Why are you sighing?" Lu Su said, "I haven't said anything yet."
"Bian Hong, as I remember, it seems to be considered an aristocratic family." Ruan Qing said, "Marquis Wu has been gradually accepting the aristocratic family these years, but something happened again, I'm afraid..."
Lu Su was startled when he heard that, and he was lucky, "Bian Hong doesn't represent the entire Jiangdong clan, so Marquis Wu probably won't beat everyone to death with a stick."
"Brother Zijing." Ruan Qing gave Lu Su a helpless look, "If you leave out the word 'should', your words will be more believable."
Lu Su was silent for a moment, "Marquis Wu has been relying on you a lot these days. When the time comes, you might as well try to persuade him. If you want to come to Marquis Wu, you can listen a little bit."
"I hope." Ruan Qing sighed again.
The author has something to say:
I suddenly fell into a pit recently, and I don’t understand what’s the point of writing it down, alas——
