Chapter 188 The Death of Zhou Yu (10)
The next morning, Ma Su got up early, finished washing up, ate some breakfast casually, and then set off for Sun Lang's mansion.
Ma Su sat in the carriage and guessed Sun Lang's true intention to entertain his banquet along the way. He was unsure of the point, but the carriage stopped and it turned out to be at Sun Lang's doorstep.
When Ma Su got out of the car, he saw that the yard was very grand and the gate was wide open, but it was quiet in front of the door, and there was no lively appearance of a big banquet. He immediately suspected that the coachman had gone to the wrong place!
After getting the coachman's affirmative answer again, Ma Su stepped over the gate and entered the yard.
There was no one in the yard, and it was quiet. Ma Su dared not be rude and dared not continue walking in, so he stood at the door and coughed heavily.
A moment later, a little boy ran out of it and asked Ma Su's purpose.
It seems that Sun Lang had already made arrangements. After asking whether the person was Ma Su, the boy led him to the lobby directly.
Sun Lang greeted him at the door. The two walked into the hall together. There were no one else inside, but the hall was divided into two parts by a screen.
After the waiter brought the tea, the two began to chat.
Because both of them are young talents, both civil and military, and have had martial arts exchanges, they are very close to each other from poetry and books to martial arts.
After a while, the waiter presented a sumptuous banquet. The wine was not seen on the market. Sun Lang's eyes shiny and his face was bright.
Because the Ma family's soju wine production is not high, although Ma Shuchang took out the soju wine, he did not reveal the true origin of the wine, nor was he sold as a commodity, but gave it to others as a gift.
Scarcity is precious. Under Ma Shuchang's deliberate speculation, this soju is of great value. It can be said that it has a price but no market, and has become a symbol of identity.
Therefore, Uncle Ma often uses soju to public relations, which can be said to be invincible and has played a significant role in his business development.
Ma Su was a little flattered when he saw Sun Lang taking out the wine to entertain him. It seemed that Sun Lang really wanted to repay his gratitude on the ring.
Ma Su felt relieved, let go of his alcohol tolerance, and toasted each other with Sun Lang. The two soon entered a slightly drunk state.
They were in high spirits when a light sound came from behind the screen, as if the teacup had landed on the ground.
Sun Lang was shocked, immediately stopped talking, started picking up food for Ma Su, changed the topic, and asked about Liu Bei.
When Ma Su heard the sound inside, he naturally found someone behind the screen and woke up. This should be eavesdropping on the conversation between the two.
It turned out that the person who eavesdropped on the conversation behind was Sun Lang's sister Sun Shangxiang, the protagonist of Sun Liu's marriage this time.
The marriage between Sun and Liu was a hot topic by Liu Bei. Although Mrs. Wu, who was living in seclusion, was still kept in the dark, Sun Shangxiang had already received the news that day.
Originally, she was very dissatisfied with the matter of not discussing with her brother when she got married, so she was furious at that time and wanted to discuss with her brother and mother.
But after thinking about it, he still held back! Sun Shangxiang was no longer young. Although there was no such thing as a leftover girl at that time, her daughter who could not marry was still quite tragic!
In the past, because there were many people who came to propose marriage, Sun Shangxiang could do whatever she wanted and offended many children from aristocratic families.
Later, no one dared to come to propose marriage. At the beginning, Sun Shangxiang was very proud. As she grew older, she was already in her twenties in a blink of an eye, but no one dared to come to propose marriage.
Sun Shangxiang herself was also secretly anxious. Her mother was worried about her marriage. Now that her brother finally gave her a marriage, she was also looking forward to it, and decided to inquire about Liu Bei's situation first.
Although Sun Shangxiang is fierce, she is a woman after all. She is embarrassed to come forward and inquire by herself, so she found her younger brother Sun Lang, who is the best relationship with her, and asked him to help.
When Sun Lang heard that it was his sister's business, he naturally had no choice but to do so. After investigation, he learned that Ma Su was also among Liu Bei's entourage. He quickly found Ma Su and invited him to the banquet.
Ma Su speculated that Sun Lang was asking for information on his sister Sun Shangxiang's situation. This was a good opportunity to promote Liu Bei, so he was slow and added fuel to the fire, and talked about Liu Bei's past heroic deeds.
...
...
When Sun Ce was still there, Qiao Gongmen was in the city, and it was said that he could call the wind and rain in Jiangdong.
Since Sun Ce's death, his identity has dropped to a higher level, and there have been fewer people at home.
I don’t know what happened recently. It can be said that the family is neglected and when I go out to do business, I am always rejected by officials on excuses, and I feel very disappointed.
This time, the famous Uncle Liu came to visit and felt very proud. He accepted Liu Bei's generous gift and was happy. After being entrusted by Liu Bei, he came to see Mrs. Wu, congratulated her, and tested the old lady's attitude.
Because this marriage was originally Zhou Yu's plan, Sun Quan intended to conceal it. Mrs. Wu was kept in the dark. After hearing Mr. Qiao's question, she was a little puzzled and asked Mr. Qiao back:
"What are the happy events? I am alarmed Mr. Qiao to come and congratulate him in person."
Qiao Gong asked in surprise:
"Ling Ai has been promised to Liu Xuande, Jingzhou as his wife. Now Xuande has arrived in Jianye, why does the old lady hide it?"
Mrs. Wu was shocked:
"Is this really the case? I don't know!"
He asked someone to come back to ask about the truth and truth of the truth, and then he first asked his subordinates to inquire in the city.
Soon, the sent out people successively rewarded:
"As soon as there was such a thing, the son-in-law Liu Bei had already settled in the inn. Five hundred sergeants bought pigs, sheep and fruits in the city and were preparing to get married. The girl who was a matchmaker was Lu Fan and the man was Sun Qian, and they all treated each other in the inn."
Mrs. Wu was surprised and happy when she heard these words!
What was happy was that Lu Fan did his best, and his beloved daughter Sun Shangxiang was finally settled! What was shocked was that his daughter's marriage was, as a mother, he was actually kept in the dark by his son Sun Quan.
After a while, Sun Quan entered the back hall to pay homage to his mother. However, Mrs. Wu was full of anger and turned her head away and ignored Sun Quan's greetings.
Sun Quan knew that Sun Liu's marriage was exposed, and this was already within his expectations, so he pretended to ask:
"Why is my mother worried?"
Mrs. Wu replied angrily: "How can I not worry about you if you don't take me seriously?"
Sun Quan pretended to be shocked and knelt down and asked:
"My son is unfilial, but please tell me clearly. If you don't want to do anything, why bother to get angry with your old body!"
Mrs. Wu would not really be angry with Sun Quan. She just wanted to know the inside story, so she naturally stopped when she saw it. Moreover, Mr. Qiao was still beside her, and said to Sun Quan with a kind look:
"Men are married when they are old and women are married when they are old. It is common sense in ancient and modern times. You are a brother to marry your sister, which is justified! This is a great thing. I am not happy for your mother. I will never blame you, and I will not ruin this marriage for no reason. Why do you need to hide it from me?
