Han Xiang

Chapter 32 Eat melons and eat yourself?

"You're young, if you see the blood stains on your back, you might be terrified and unable to sleep, why don't you wait a few more years, and then get familiar with the camp?" Chen's beloved son was eager to persuade Qiao Rui.

"As the saying goes, loving a son is like killing a son. Since a son was born in my Qiao family, he will get involved in military affairs sooner or later. What does it matter if he waits or waits? Sun Ce shines brilliantly in his twenties, and he is fed with blood."

Qiao Rui glanced at Qiao Nu, then pinched the bridge of his nose and shook his head. He took what Yuan Shu had told him, and turned his head to deal with Mrs. Chen.

"A talent like Sun Bofu is hard to find in the whole of Yangzhou. Isn't it too high for the general to ask me for him? Besides, if I listened to my concubine at that time."

Mrs. Chen glanced at Qiao Wei when she was speaking, and was noticed by Qiao Rui beside her, so she hurriedly interrupted: "Madam, don't delay, this matter is settled, you all go to rest early, and my son will meet with you tomorrow morning." I'm going to the barracks."

"Oh, let the child go to bed first, and I will keep the cup for myself." Chen responded in a low voice.

"only"

"Baby leave"

The three siblings got up and saluted at the same time when they heard their parents' orders and left.

Walking a few steps past the corner of the promenade outside the house, Qiao Wan suddenly stopped and exclaimed.

Qiao Wei turned her head and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Recently, I embroidered the black plum, and I couldn't handle it well when I took up the thread. I have to ask my mother for advice." Qiao Wan frowned.

"My mother is serving my father's meals. How can there be time to teach you needlework (zhi)? Let's go back early to rest, and it will not be too late to ask for advice tomorrow."

"Once I have something on my mind, I can't sleep at night. Is it true that eldest sister doesn't know? You go back first, I will wait outside the door for a while at worst."

"Father rarely comes home, and he will not leave soon. When will you have to wait?"

Seeing the two elder sisters arguing, Qiao Ni was not interested at all, so he bowed his hands and said goodbye: "Eldest sister, second sister, I have to get up early tomorrow, so I will go back to my room first."

Qiao Wan waved her hand lightly, then turned her head and acted like a baby to Qiao Wei: "Eldest sister, go back too, you know me."

"Little Stubborn Donkey" Qiao Wei raised her little hand, then turned and left.

Qiao Wan sticks out her tongue, and walks back with lotus steps. She has a more lively personality than Qiao Wei, and she will act on ideas in time, inheriting Qiao Rui's resolute style.

The night was already dark, but the lights in the flower hall were still on. After the children left, Chen also sent away the servants inside and outside, deliberately creating a two-person world to talk about things.

Qiao Wan lightly walked to the door, originally intending to knock on the door and go in, but when she asked the answer coquettishly, she immediately returned to the room to practice, but she accidentally heard her parents talking about Qiao Wei, and immediately shrank out of the window like a kitten.

"General, you can't patronize military affairs, and Xiaowei's marriage must also be taken care of, and it will be too late in a few months."

"According to Madam's request, suitable talents are really hard to find. If you are in a hurry to marry your daughter, you can only find someone with poor conditions."

"That can't be done. Xiao Wei was born beautiful, how can ordinary people match? I can't let her suffer myself, at least she can't be worse than our family."

"The more outstanding the young seedlings are, the more people will be targeted. We can't grab the high-status ones, and others will have already pinched them all. Besides, I'm just a warrior."

"How about a martial artist? Isn't he a general whom the lord relies heavily on?"

"Our family background is not top-notch. If Madam wants to marry her daughter into a prominent family, she also needs to be admired by other famous families. So what about Xiaowei and Xiao Wan's beauty? Beauty cannot last forever, and besides, the famous family has no shortage of women."

"The general can ask the lord to be a matchmaker."

"Don't worry about it. If you want to marry a famous family, you can only become a concubine. Can my wife wrong my daughter? If not, find a warrior's family."

"Let the Qiao family's daughter be a concubine, general, do you have the heart? You blame the general for not listening to me at the beginning. If Xiaowei was promised to Sun Bofu, there would be no worries today."

Qiao Wan, who was eavesdropping outside the door, almost pricked up her ears when she heard this.

She knew that Qiao Wei had admired heroes since she was a child, and as Sun Ce's fame had grown in the past two years, Qiao Wei also asked the guard Li Tun about it.

"Isn't Madam still thinking about Sun Ce? The reason why my husband disagrees with this marriage is due to my own considerations."

"What's the consideration?"

Qiao Rui paused for a moment to organize his words: "Since Sun Jian, the Sun family has been conquering the Quartet with the lord. Sun Xiang, Sun Ben, Wu Jing, and Sun Ce, which one has no military power? It can be said that half of the credit for the current territory of the lord is Established by the Sun family, there is an old saying that 'Great achievements shake the master', if the Qiao family is married to the Sun family, how can the lord not doubt it? I just want to save my descendants from disaster."

"The world has not yet been decided, and the lord will proclaim the emperor on behalf of the Han Dynasty. It should not be so early." Chen's heart was beating drums when he heard it.

"Don't be lucky. If you make a wrong step, you will never be able to recover. Besides, Long Yunqi still has deduction."

Chen's voice suddenly became high-pitched: "Long Yunqi? Deduction? What does it have to do with him?"

"Uh, Yunqi had previously analyzed and deduced that Sun Ce holds soldiers and horses and expands the territory. It is hard to guarantee that he will not have the will to stand on his own. Once the lord proclaims himself emperor in the future, he may use this to raise his troops to rebel."

Because of Long Xiang's incident, Qiao Rui was so happy that he drank a few more glasses, and accidentally said what was on his mind.Qiao Wan outside the window became more and more active as she listened, thinking that these things were more interesting than needlework.

Qiao Wan squatted under the window with her arms around her knees, and Chen's surprised voice came from inside the room.

"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous. Long Xiang has been in the army for less than a year, and he is timid on the battlefield. His words are all nonsense. How can the general listen to the children's words? His father, Sun Jian, is loyal to the Lord. My concubine thinks that Sun Ce is a young hero. will do treason."

"My husband didn't believe it, but I ran into Wu Jing in the evening to report the victory. He said that Sun Ce had defeated Wang Lang and seized Kuaiji. Wu Jing returned to Shouchun to ask the lord for a reward for Sun Ce."

"Sun Ce won such a big battle, why not ask the lord for some rewards?" Chen's voice seemed disapproving.

"Kuiji is a rich place in the south of the Yangtze River. If Sun Ce wants to reward meritorious soldiers, can't he take it from Wang Lang's treasury? Need to go all the way to Shouchun to ask for the reward?"

"The concubine is stupid."

Qiao Rui snorted coldly: "Sun Ce seized Kuaiji, he didn't want to donate treasures and tribute, and asked for money and food from the lord. Obviously, he had other plans. It's hard to say whether he rebelled or not, but it's hard to say whether he will listen to orders in the future. Look at the soldiers now Which of the self-respecting princes listens to the emperor's order?"

Hearing Qiao Rui's analogy, Chen also understood it, she swallowed and asked: "Since the general intends to be obvious, the lord must also understand it? If the lord preemptively strikes, Sun Bofu will be in danger."

"My lord was delighted with the good news from Kuaiji, so I guess I didn't have any other considerations, but the money and food will not be allocated for the time being, and my husband didn't remind me because of other considerations."

"And what consideration?"

"At that time, I wanted to intercede with Yun Qi. If I spoke ill of Sun Ce, I might offend my lord."

"Unlucky things are always inseparable from him." Chen shi sighed, and then reminded: "From now on, we should avoid it. Tomorrow, I will deliver the medicine. Don't let him do it. It's not good to bring bad luck home."

"Ma'am, don't be prejudiced. A 16-year-old general in the army has less courage than Shang Yunqi. There are almost no people with his brains. He is a seedling who is well cultivated." Qiao Rui shook his head.

"I don't care about my identity. In short, you will keep a distance from him in the future. In addition, the general mentioned the lieutenant general just now, but reminded the concubine. There must be someone with a better background, right? Why don't you choose two to be sons-in-law? Xiaowei is about to marry. , Xiao Wan is only one year younger than her."

Qiao Wan was embarrassed when she heard it outside the window, why did she mention herself for no reason?
