A few days later, Fuchun, Wu County, Jiangdong, the ancestral tomb of the Sun family. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The Sun family has lived in Fuchun, Wu County for generations. As a family that has been inherited for thousands of years, there is their ancestral tomb shrine here in Fuchun County. By the time Sun Ce swept Jiangdong and became the overlord of Jiangdong, the clan cemetery naturally had to be renovated on a large scale.

(PS, the bottle doesn't know where Sun's cemetery is, and after flipping through the book for a long time, he only found a sentence in "Wu Shu and Concubine Biography" Wu Guotai's "buried in Gaoling".) As for whether this "Gaoling" is the name of the region or the name of the cemetery, it is really unclear. Here, according to the habits of the Chinese people, the Sun clan's clan cemetery was installed in Fuchun County. ）

The morning breeze is slightly cold, but there is a quiet and gentle flute music fluttering gently in the cemetery with this cold morning breeze. Looking for prestige again, it was Sun Shangxiang, dressed in plain white clothes, quietly kneeling in front of the mausoleum of Sun Jian and Sun Ce, playing the bamboo flute. This is Sun Shangxiang two days ago to send Wu's mother back to Wu, and when he came back, he naturally wanted to go to the tomb of his father and eldest brother to pay respects.

At the end of a long time, Sun Shangxiang had not put down the bamboo flute in his hand, and a voice that Sun Shangxiang was quite familiar with behind him: "I knew that Shang Xiang would definitely come here to pay respects when you returned to Wu, but I didn't expect that Shang Xiang, who only liked to dance swords and bows, would be so outstanding today's flute skills." Knowing this, I should have come with the piano and play a song with Shang Xiang in front of Brother Bo Fu's tomb, so as to teach Bo Fu to know how extraordinary the wild girl who was messing around all day at the beginning is already in the world today. ”

Sun Shangxiang turned around when he heard this, and at a glance he saw the man standing not far from him. It's just that at this glance, Sun Shangxiang really looked at the old man for a long time before he was a little uncertain and tentative: "Zhong, Brother Zhong? ”

The man who spoke was none other than Zhou Yu. But it's no wonder that Sun Shangxiang is so uncertain, you must know that Zhou Yu ten or twenty years ago was a well-known Jiangdong beautiful Zhou Lang, how handsome and majestic his appearance and temperament are, just a plain smile can make the girls in Jiangdong fall for it, but now Zhou Yu in front of Sun Shangxiang's eyes...... At the beginning, the majestic and upright figure is now a little bloated; The vigor of the period of the Battle of Chibi has also been replaced by a harmless amiability of humans and animals. Zhou Yu in this way is inevitably too far away from the Zhou Yu in Sun Shangxiang's memory. In fact, it is no wonder that Zhou Yu was thirty-four years old when he was in Chibi, and eight years have passed in a flash, and Zhou Yu is also forty-two or three. When a man reaches this age, it is normal for him to be a little blessed, and his personality will become more gentle.

"Brother Zhong, why are you here?"

Zhou Yu smiled, and first went to salute the tombs of Sun Jian and Sun Ce before turning back to Sun Shangxiang and said, "How am I, Shangxiang, you don't need to ask." It's Shangxiang you, do a great thing! ”

Sun Shangxiang said a little unwittingly when she heard this: "Brother Zhong, what do you mean?" ”

Zhou Yu didn't answer immediately, but glanced around before saying, "Shang Xiang, this is not the place to talk...... Let's go, I know there's a nice liquor store nearby. I haven't seen you in years, and now I'd love to have a few drinks with you. ”

――――――――――――――――――――

A few moments later, in the side pavilion of a certain Taoist wine shop (this kind of side pavilion is similar to a modern VIP box), Sun Shangxiang and Zhou Yu sat opposite the table. What surprised Sun Shangxiang a little was that Zhou Yu's wife Xiao Qiao was also there, and even brought dozens of family guards with Zhou Yu to protect her.

At this moment, Zhou Yu's guards were distributed around the pavilion, and Xiao Qiao was sitting under a tree a little far from the pavilion, fiddling with tea sets or something, preparing refreshments for the two. Sun Shangxiang is simple, but not stupid, as soon as he saw Zhou Yu's arrangement, he knew that Zhou Yu had something to say, so he sat there quietly and sipped tea, just waiting for Zhou Yu to speak.

After a while, Zhou Yu slowly took a sip of the fragrant tea in the cup, and then said unhurriedly: "Shang Xiang, I remember that although you were also quite fond of music and rhythm, you didn't know any musical equipment, so when did your flute skills become so outstanding?" ”

Sun Shangxiang shook his head and smiled: "Perhaps, this is the so-called upward and downward effect, right?" Yizhou lives a rich life, and Lu Yizhou and Mrs. Cai are both music and rhythm masters in the world, so in Yizhou, everyone likes to have fun in their leisure time. In contrast, this bamboo flute is easy to carry, the price is quite cheap, and Lu Yizhou is known for its flute, so it is very popular in Yizhou flute music. Shang Xiang has been in Yizhou for a long time, and he has also learned a lot, and he often has fun with his sisters to entertain himself. ”

Zhou Yu put down the teacup: "In the blink of an eye, how many years have you been hostage in Yizhou?" ”

Sun Shangxiang said: "In the fourteenth and fifth years of Jian'an, the war of Wuyi broke out, first Lu Ziming attacked Quanzhou, and then the battle of Wujun Donghai. I officially went to Yizhou as a hostage to rest the two swordsmen. It's been seven or eight years now. ”

Zhou Yu sighed lightly: "It's seven or eight years in a flash...... At that time, you were just a little girl in your twenties, but now you are almost thirty years old. As for me......"

Saying that, Zhou Yu stretched out his hand to pat his already round belly, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "You see, I have grown so much fat in the past seven or eight years!" Alas, I am what I call middle-aged fortune. ”

Sun Shangxiang looked at Zhou Yu's appearance, and couldn't help but laugh. However, after laughing, Sun Shangxiang's eyes swept over Xiao Qiao, who was still making tea over there, and his face immediately turned correct: "Brother Zhong, it seems that you didn't come here just to talk to Shang Xiang about these old things, right?" ”

Zhou Yu smiled faintly and then his face was also correct: "It's still the same sentence, Shang Xiang, you have done a great thing!" I don't even know what to say about you right now...... But I'm just curious to ask you now, what was it for you to do it in the first place? ”

Sun Shangxiang responded very calmly: "I actually made it very clear that day. Shang Xiang doesn't want to make all the candidates and families in the world look down on me because of the treachery of the second brother; I don't want to make the world look down on us Jiangdong children because of this matter. In addition, Shang Xiangzhi is really a little selfish...... On one side are my clan relatives, and on the other side are my best friends, Shang Xiang really doesn't want his relatives and friends to become enemies. I'm caught in the middle, which way should I go? ”

Zhou Yu bowed his head lightly: "I haven't seen each other for many years, and Shang Xiang is as straightforward as ever, and there is no half-point of falsification." It seems that you have been hostage for ten years, but it is really as the rumors say, Lu Yizhou and they have never felt sorry for you. ”

Sun Shangxiang said: "He regarded me as a relative and friend, not only did he never leave difficulties, but he treated me with sincerity everywhere. Brother Zhong, are you here to tell me, should we repay such sincere friends with sincerity? ”

Zhou Yu sensed the smell of gunpowder in Sun Shangxiang's words, and hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "Shangxiang, don't misunderstand, I'm definitely not here to blame you." It is true that as an important minister of Jiangdong, I should put the interests of Jiangdong first in everything, and I can't be as emotional as you, but it is precisely because of the word 'profit' that I will never agree with Wu Hou taking the liberty of making an enemy of Yizhou. ”

Sun Shangxiang was stunned, because he mistakenly thought that Zhou Yu was helping Sun Quan to scold him, and the anger that had just surged up also dissipated without a trace at this moment. No matter what, Sun Shangxiang still knows Zhou Yu well, if Zhou Yu comes up and says that he doesn't approve of Sun Quan, then Sun Shangxiang will not only not believe Zhou Yu, but even suspect that Zhou Yu is playing some tricks. However, Zhou Yu clearly said the benefits of Jiangdong, but Sun Shangxiang knew that Zhou Yu was telling the truth at this moment.

After hesitating for a moment, Sun Shangxiang said in confusion: "Brother Zhong, since you don't agree with the second brother's invasion of Yizhou, why don't you advise him on the temple?" I still remember when I met him that day, he had already made up his mind to attack Yizhou. If you had advised him, he should not have been so carried away. ”

Zhou Yu sighed, and then said with a wry smile: "Shang Xiang, you have been in Yizhou for too long, although you went back to Wu to mourn when China passed away, but you only stayed for a few days and then hurriedly went to Yizhou again, and I happened to go to inspect the counties for disaster relief, so you and I didn't even meet that time." Therefore, in the past ten years, there have been too many things in the Jiangdong territory that you don't know at all. Now I can only tell you that today's Wu Hou is afraid that it will be difficult to listen to half of my Zhou Yu's advice. ”

"What?" Sun Shangxiang immediately froze there, and it took a long time for him to come back to his senses, and then he said angrily: "Why is this happening? Second brother, how could he treat the middle brother like this? Has he forgotten what his eldest brother told him when he was dying? ”

"It's because I can't forget that he did this to me, right?"

Zhou Yu sighed silently in his heart, and the smile on his face looked a little lonely, shaking his head and saying to Sun Shangxiang: "Shangxiang, you are just a woman after all, and you shouldn't know about many things in the temple, and you don't have to know." Again, seeing that you are still as straightforward and honest as you were at the beginning, it makes me understand why you occasionally summoned me to meet and talk when Guotai was still there, and why you felt that sending you to Yi was actually the right thing to do. ”

As soon as she heard Zhou Yu mention Wu Guotai, Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but tremble in her heart: "Mother...... What did she say? ”

Zhou Yu's eyes locked on Sun Shangxiang, and there was a brother's love for the little sister in his eyes, but also a little deep envy: "Guotai once said to me, if you are forced to stay in Jiangdong, and no matter how depressed you will be and difficult to smile, I am afraid that it will not be long before you will be like other women of the family, and you will marry other princes or families to form a marriage alliance...... Shang Xiang, I am not afraid that you will complain about me at this point, if you didn't go to Yi as a hostage at that time, Wu Houke and I both had the intention of marrying you to Liu Bei, and the intention was nothing more than to show Cao Cao the solidity of the Sun-Liu alliance. ”

Sun Shangxiang was shocked when he heard this: "What, what? Liu Bei!? Brother Zhong, Liu Bei is more than thirty years older than me! ”

Zhou Yu smiled apologetically at Sun Shangxiang: "Shangxiang is not strange, besides, you should also know that this alliance of in-laws has existed since ancient times and has been around for a long time...... However, after you went to the hostage, I slowly figured out one thing, that is, I was simply young and vigorous at that time, and there was no one in my eyes, and there were some things that were in a hurry. Think about it, why was I inferior to Kong Ming at that time? It is precisely because I have these problems in my body, but Kong Ming does not, and I have already lost to him in terms of heart. If the heart is not as good, what can be done if you are wise? ”

Sun Shangxiang heard it a little foggy: "Brother Zhong, what are you trying to say?" ”

Zhou Yu raised his glass and smiled: "At that time, I underestimated the world. In fact, what if he gave you to marry Liu Bei at that time? Will Zhuge Liang not be wary of my Jiangdong because of this? The open and secret battle between the Sun and Liu families, will you bully Cao Cao because of your marriage to Liu Bei? If you really do that, it is not Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao who are bullying, but Wu Hou and I are deceiving ourselves, covering our ears and stealing the bell, and in the end we will just end up laughing at the world. On the other hand, if we can sacrifice even our loved ones at will, won't others be more careless than us when it comes time to let go? ”

"Brother Zhong......" Sun Shangxiang couldn't help frowning slightly at this time. Sun Shangxiang was originally a bit of a feminist person, and she had been "poisoned" by Li Xue in Yizhou for many years, so she actually agreed with Zhou Yu's words. It's just that although these words are related to Sun Shangxiang himself, what Sun Shangxiang wants to know now is what his mother has said.

In other words, Zhou Yu has been suppressed for a long time, and suddenly he met someone who could talk to him, and he couldn't hold back the conversation for a while. However, Sun Shangxiang frowned, and Zhou Yu also realized that he didn't know where he was going, so he smiled apologetically at Sun Shangxiang and began to talk back to some topics: "I also talked about these words to Guotai when I was talking about them." I remember that after listening to it, Guotai didn't reprimand me, but just sighed that as the daughter of a wealthy family, I was afraid that I couldn't escape this fate and destiny. If the person you marry is the same age, the right family, and you can love each other after marriage, it may be fine, but the fight between the Sun and Liu families will never bring you that kind of life. ”

Sun Shangxiang was gloomy when he heard this. Li Xue also vaguely mentioned this kind of words to Sun Shangxiang, so Sun Shangxiang at this moment resonated with these words.

Zhou Yu continued: "Maybe it's because Guotai is concerned about this, right? In fact, Guotai will often secretly send people to Yizhou to inquire about your news, and every time I hear that you are living freely, happily and happily in Yizhou, and even serving as a guest secretary, and even the people of Yizhou counties praise you, Guotai will always smile at this. So even though Guotai knew that you could return Jiangdong at any time, even if Guotai obviously missed you very much, she never sent someone to Yizhou to call you back to Jiangdong to talk about your family. Because Guotai is also afraid, afraid that as soon as you return to Jiangdong, Wu Hou will force you to stay and no longer send you to Yizhou as a hostage. In terms of family affection alone, Guotai doesn't want to miss you for a while, but you will no longer have a smile on your face, and you will be depressed for the rest of your life because you will become the daughter of marriage. Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, why don't you want you to be as straightforward and cute as you were at the beginning? Seeing you like this today, the spirit of Guotai in the sky must be able to look at it with a smile. ”

"Mother's ......" Sun Shangxiang bowed her head gloomily. How many parents in the world will not care for their children?

It's just that after being gloomy for a while, Sun Shangxiang raised his head and looked at Zhou Yu, because these topics didn't seem to have anything to do with Zhou Yu's purpose of coming here. Zhou Yu understood what Sun Shangxiang meant, sighed and explained: "Although Guotai summoned me to the meeting for idle talk, the purpose was to ask me what the relationship between Jiangdong and Yizhou was. Isn't it clear that the country still can't tell the difference between public affairs and private affairs? If you can take care of your personal feelings without missing your business, Guotai will be truly happy. ”

Sun Shangxiang asked anxiously, "What do you think of that middle brother?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "In terms of official business, Yu will never approve of Jiangdong and Yizhou as enemies. There are some things that I can't tell you, but there are still some things I can tell you. Let's put it this way, do you know what Kong Ming said to Liu Bei when he was about to leave the house? In this plan, Kong Ming regards my Jiangdong as 'only for help, not for stealing', and I can add this sentence to Wu Yi. Yizhou is the same for me Jiangdong, I can only help, but I can't steal it...... Is Yizhou so easy to mess with today? ”

Sun Shangxiang nodded silently. She has been in Yizhou for so long, and many things are far clearer than Zhou Yu. Regardless of personal feelings, looking at this matter from a rational point of view, Sun Shangxiang does not think that Sun Quan has the ability to swallow Yizhou in one go. If he fails to swallow it in one go, Sun Quan will face endless revenge from Yizhou.

Zhou Yu sighed again: "Shang Xiang, the fact that Wu Hou intends to attack Yizhou is unwise, but now I don't have the ability to persuade him. If you made such a fuss a few days ago, I'm afraid that Wu Hou's plan will be completely frustrated, which is actually a good thing. ”

Sun Shangxiang said: "If I make such a fuss, will the second brother not use troops in Yizhou?" ”

Zhou Yu nodded: "It's not that Yizhou has never left troops to defend it, and the sneak attack is focused on a strange word, you made such a big fuss, this strange word has long been gone." Besides, Yizhou will not be here? As soon as the news of Wu Hou's intention to sneak attack Yizhou is returned, the Snow County Lord who stayed in Yizhou will definitely deploy defenses everywhere in Yizhou immediately, so Wu Hou will also sneak attack a fart! And if the sneak attack fails, if you fight with strength instead...... Wu Hou would not have done such a stupid thing. ”

Sun Shangxiang smiled strangely and said, "I didn't expect me to make such a fuss." As long as Wu Yi can't afford to fight with swords, my wish has been fulfilled, and he has no regrets. ”

Zhou Yu looked at Sun Shangxiang, shook his head and said, "No, I don't think the matter is over here." ”

Sun Shangxiang frowned: "What?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "Shang Xiang, Wu Yijian's sword soldiers are difficult, but Wu Hou's face has been completely lost. ”

Sun Shangxiang smiled calmly: "I know! Haven't I been waiting here for him to come and get me? I ruined his good deeds, he wants to make me angry, and I have nothing to say...... Who made him my brother? ”
