Chapter 191 The Death of Zhou Yu (13)

This time Ma Su invited Sun Lang back, he was very sure that Sun Shangxiang would definitely come with Sun Ren's name, because Ma Su's story in the past few days had aroused her strong interest in Liu Bei.

With the prelude to the stories before Ma Su, with the elegant demeanor developed by Liu Bei, a superior, it should be no problem to capture the hearts of a girl with insufficient experience.

In order not to make a mistake, Ma Su decided to mention Liu Bei again and said to Liu Bei:

"Lord, it is feasible to ask Sun Lang to transfer gifts on his behalf, but there are many things to do when choosing gifts. We cannot simply use money to measure them. I heard that Sun Shangxiang is a man who is not a man and likes to play with a gun. I foolishly think that the lord can symbolically give a phoenix hairpin as a gift to express his feelings. There is no need to pay more attention to this!"

Although Liu Bei felt that Ma Su's words made sense, he felt that the gift was not expensive and that he would lose his identity, so he spoke:

"Although I don't expect to impress Sun Shangxiang with valuable gifts, the Sun family is rich in Jiangdong and will definitely be of good use on weekdays. If the gifts are too cold, I am afraid that not only will it not impress her, but it will make her look down on her, and then she will lose her big picture because of a small loss!"

Ma Su was not easy to refute Liu Bei's opinion, so he had to say:

"What the lord said is reasonable, but the first time I gave a tentative gift. If the gift was too heavy, the so-called "unsuccessful rewards" made Sun Shangxiang feel suspicious and did not dare to receive gifts, which would be counterproductive! I once heard that Sun Shangxiang was quite chivalrous and his life was not luxurious. He often used Sun Ren's name to do chivalrously in Jianye market and save poor people. He was very loved by the people of Jiangdong. He had a lot of common ground with his lord, so it would be better not to give luxury goods."

When Liu Bei heard Ma Su's decisive words, he followed suit and replied:

"Young people often say it makes sense, so let's do it according to your wishes. You go back to the inn to wait for Sun Lang's news first!"

Liu Bei turned his head to Zhao Yun again and said:

"Zilong, please accompany me to the shop. I will personally choose a phoenix hairpin for Sun Shangxiang to express my feelings."

Shortly after Ma Su returned to the inn, he received a letter from Sun Lang's waiter. He and his clan brother Sun Ren attended the banquet on time this afternoon. Sun Qian was indeed very efficient in doing things. No wonder Liu Bei was willing to take it with him.

Not long after, Zhao Yun came to invite him. Ma Su came to the inn and saw the jade hairpin that Liu Bei bought. His eyes lit up, and he admired Liu Bei's good vision.

This is a jade hairpin carved from white jade. It has a warm texture, a flawless color, and is finely carved. It has two parallel cylindrical shapes, with one end pointed and the other end bent and connected. It is a rare treasure!

Although it was still early before the dinner time, Liu Bei was a little restless. Sun Qian was afraid that Liu Bei was not satisfied with the hotel, so he suggested to wait at the restaurant first.

Sun Qian spent a lot of effort to book a restaurant that was the largest Jiangnan hotel in the local area. The first floor is the hall, and dozens of tables are placed, suitable for general banquets.

There are only four private rooms on the second floor, and the space inside is quite large. The decoration is elegant and quaint. You can set up four tables and have special waiters to serve, which is suitable for gatherings with powerful people.

Liu Bei was very satisfied with this hotel, especially the name of the box set by Sun Qian, which was called "Xilaishun". Liu Bei and the others happened to come from the southwest, which had a very good meaning.

At dinner, Sun Lang and Sun Ren arrived together, as Ma Su expected.

Although Sun Shangxiang was dressed in men's clothing and pretended to behave, none of the four people present were simple characters. It can be said that they were all old people. It was obvious that Sun Ren was dressed as a man, but he did not show any strange colors, which made Sun Shangxiang quite satisfied!

Liu Bei only has a medium-sized and short figure and is not particularly handsome. At first glance, he cannot leave a deep impression on people.

But Liu Bei is humble and has a natural leadership temperament. Once he interacts with him, people will trust him unknowingly. The longer the time, the more attractive it will be.

As the host of this banquet, Liu Bei showed almost all the excellent qualities under the support of Sun Gan and Ma Su, and soon attracted the attention of the Sun brothers and sisters and gained their trust.

Especially Sun Shangxiang, although she is smart, she is not well-informed after all, and she belongs to the age of trusting love.

In addition, he lost his father when he was young, Sun Shangxiang had a deep desire for fatherly love, but he lacked enough immunity for handsome guys like Liu Bei, and he was soon in love without any trace by Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's every move touched Sun Shangxiang's heart. Liu Bei was not the first brother in love, so he naturally saw Sun Shangxiang's affection for him. When he was about to part, his performance reached a climax.

He expressed his love for Sun Shangxiang in a passionate manner, took out the precious jade hairpin, and asked Sun Lang to hand it over to Sun Shangxiang to express his feelings.

Liu Bei's pretended true feelings completely conquered Sun Shangxiang. Sun Lang took the jade hairpin over, and Sun Shangxiang wanted to come over, playing with it in his hands, and couldn't let it go, and then he bid farewell to Liu Bei Yiyi.

When Sun Shangxiang returned home, it was getting late. Mrs. Wu and Sun Quan came over to ask her for advice on marrying Liu Bei.

Smelling the faint smell of wine on Sun Shangxiang, Mrs. Wu scolded her very much!

It seemed that after being influenced by Liu Bei, Sun Shangxiang changed her unruly image in the past and accepted her mother's lesson with a blushing face, which surprised me a little.

When the old lady carefully asked Sun Shangxiang what opinions she had on marrying Liu Bei, her behavior was also a big surprise!

According to past experience, Sun Shangxiang must be angry, but this time she not only did not object, but instead blushed, lowered her head, and replied in a mosquito-like voice:

"But it depends on your mother and brother!"

Mrs. Wu and Sun Quan looked at each other and could hardly believe that this was true, but they were also sincerely happy, saving them from their worries and efforts to convince her.

One day later, Mr. Qiao came in to see Mrs. Wu again and admitted that Xuande was afraid that someone would be murdered and urgently wanted to return to Jingzhou.

The old lady had already learned about Zhou Yu's "beauty trick". She naturally knew that Liu Bei's worries were reasonable, and she couldn't help but say angrily:

"Who dares to harm me if I identify my son-in-law!"

The old lady immediately sent an order to move into her villa and stay temporarily and prepare to get married on a date.

After Liu Bei moved to the other yard, there was only one person living in such a large yard, and Sun Gan. Although there were servants to serve him, because Zhao Yun was not around and still lacked security, he reported to Mrs. Wu:

"Zhao Yun often follows me, only for fear that it is inconvenient to live outside, and for fear that the soldiers will not be restrained."

Mrs. Wu loved Liu Bei and followed all the requests he made. She taught 500 soldiers to move into the mansion and rest, and stayed in the inn to avoid trouble.

Liu Bei was secretly happy. Zhao Yun led the soldiers into the villa and arranged for the soldiers to take turns to guard the villa and operated the villa like an iron barrel. Only then did Liu Bei feel relieved.

After obtaining Sun Shangxiang's consent, Mrs. Wu was afraid that she would change her mind over time, so she urged Sun Quan to handle the marriage immediately and let Sun Shangxiang marry Xuande early.

Sun Quan did not dare to disobey his mother's orders, but he still couldn't imagine using Jiangling as a dowry, and he was very stingy on Sun Shangxiang's dowry.
