Jiangdong, Jianye.
"What? Second brother, how can you decide my marriage so easily? I don't want to marry Liu Bei or Liu Xuande. He has become an old man!"
"Third sister, now is not the time for you to be willful. Marrying Liu Bei is Jiangdong's only choice at the moment. What's more, Liu Xuande is a hero worthy of today's subordinates. You will not suffer any loss by marrying him."
"If you don't want to marry, you won't marry. If you say you won't marry, you won't marry. If you want to marry, go ahead and marry! Humph!"
Sun Shangxiang slammed the door and left, leaving Sun Quan staring in the room.
"This girl, I really spoil her rotten on weekdays. Now she is having trouble with me at this critical moment. What should I do?"
Zhou Yu chuckled beside him and said: "Don't worry, my lord, leave this matter to me. I guarantee that the third lady will marry Liu Xuande willingly."
"Okay, Gong Jin, I'll leave this matter to you. The news is that Liu Bei is already on his way to Jianye by boat. We can't let others laugh at this matter."
"yes."
Sun Shangxiang lost his temper after returning to his boudoir. He threw candlesticks, dwarfs, and some decorations all over the floor. While throwing them, he hummed in his mouth and said: "Kong Ming, you are such a lecher, didn't you agree to marry me?" Mine? Why did you run away without even saying hello? My second brother asked me to marry an old man... Where did you die! Come to me quickly! My second brother actually asked me to Get married, you dead thing, a piece of shit, a bad thing!”
"Miss Third."
Sun Shangxiang lifted a table and was about to throw it out the door, but when she looked up, she saw Zhou Yu walking into her room.
"Gong Jin, no matter what your plans are, I don't want to marry an old man!"
"That Liu Xuande is not an old man, he is a serious clan member of the Han Dynasty. The emperor has to call him uncle when he sees him. Furthermore, Liu Xuande is seven feet five inches tall, has a face like a crown jade, and has a tall figure. What you are saying A far cry from the old man.
Otherwise, Liu Bei is already on his way to Jianye with his military advisor Zhuge Liang. When he arrives in Jianye, you can observe in the dark first and you will know that what I said today is true. Furthermore, although we had just defeated Cao Cao's army in the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao's foundation had not been lost much. Liu Xuande took advantage of our siege of Jiangling to capture the four counties of Jingnan.
The four counties of Jingnan and Jingnan are connected to our Jiangdong area. If Liu Bei is allowed to station troops here, he will be like a tiger sleeping next to his bed. The consequences will be disastrous. If we can marry him, then we can naturally return to the four counties of Jingnan and only let him Just station troops in Nanjun to fight against Cao Cao. Regardless of whether it is public or private, this marriage will be beneficial and harmless. Even if you don't think about your second brother, you should also think about your eldest brother and father who died young. "
Zhou Yu kept talking non-stop, and even moved Sun Shangxiang's deceased eldest brother Sun Ce and father Sun Jian out and put on a big hat, which made the latter even more irritable.
"Don't listen, I won't listen! Don't talk to me about the righteousness of the family and the country. I, a woman, can't understand it at all. You said that Liu Bei's military advisor Zhuge Liang is also coming with him? I want to meet Zhuge Liang first then, and then I’ll give you an answer again.”
Zhou Yu pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Miss Third, you want to ask Zhuge Kongming why he didn't take you with him when he left? Didn't he say goodbye to you as well?"
"What?"
Sun Shangxiang frowned slightly, looked at Zhou Yu and said, "You sent someone to follow me. What do you know?"
After Zhou Yu sent shadow guards to assassinate Zhao Yi but failed, he learned that Sun Shangxiang had a close relationship with him, and also learned that Zhao Yi was pretending to be military advisor Zhuge Liang at the time.
Zhou Yu sighed softly and said: "Xiaoxiang, your eldest brother and I are brothers and sisters. I have watched you grow up. I don't want to watch you jump into the fire pit and be deceived without knowing it."
"What on earth do you know? Tell me!"
Sun Shangxiang shook Zhou Yu's arm, and the latter sighed helplessly: "He is not Zhuge Kongming at all. The man you like is named Zhao and his given name is Hongfei. He is just a guard beside Zhuge Liang. He holds a very high position. During the battle between Sun and Liu in Chibi, On the eve of the eve, the real Zhuge Liang was seriously ill and bedridden, so he pretended to be himself to negotiate with us, so this time it was the real Zhuge Kongming who came, not the liar Xiaoxiang you have always been thinking about."
"What? Liar? He is not Zhuge Kongming, his name is Zhao Yi and Zhao Hongfei? He...never told me."
Sun Shangxiang couldn't accept what Zhou Yu said for a moment. She shook her head and stepped back until she was leaning against the wall.
Seeing that the matter was mature, Zhou Yu added more fuel to the fire and said: "And as far as I know, Zhao Yi and Zhao Hongfei have been granted marriage by Liu Bei. While we are talking here, he should have married Liu Yuzhou's daughter in Jingnan. I’ve reached the sky in one step, how can I miss you?”
"He...he's getting married? Really? You must be lying to me. He said he wanted to marry me, he said so!"
"Did I lie to you? The truth will be revealed when Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang arrive in Jianye. Xiaoxiang, take a good rest first and think about what I just said. Then you will know that marrying Liu Bei is your only way out. "
After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving Sun Shangxiang kneeling on the ground dejectedly. His mind was in a mess and he didn't know what he should think or do.
Time moves forward a few days, Wuling County, Hanshou.
Before Liu Bei set out to establish a business, he granted marriage to two of his beloved generals, gave his daughters to them, and got two sons-in-law.
Zhao Yun married Liu Bei's eldest daughter Liu Zhaoqing, while Zhao Yi married his sister Liu Wanyi.
Liu Bei, the lord and father-in-law, was sitting in the middle, beaming with joy, while Zhao Yun and Zhao Yi also led the bride to pay homage to the elders and enter the bridal chamber.
On this day, Hanshou did not impose a curfew for the first time. All the people were happy, and those who dared to say a few auspicious words could even get some wheat or millet.
Zhao Yi didn't understand the process of a Chinese wedding in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He was directed around like a puppet, and finally dragged his tired body into his bridal chamber.
Liu Wanyi was wearing a wedding dress and sat on the edge of the bed obediently, not daring to look at Zhao Yi's face.
Zhao Yi looked at the fifteen-year-old girl sitting next to the bed, sighed inwardly, and then walked over.
"Well... Wanyi, you are still young. If you don't want to, just tell me. I won't force you."
Liu Wanyi raised her head in confusion, blinked and said: "Fifteen is not young anymore. Many women at my age already have two children. Hongfei dislikes me and looks down on me. Could it be that you like it?" Is it sister?"
"How could I look down on you? Wanyi is so cute and well-behaved. Any man will definitely fall in love with you, but..."
Zhao Yi didn't know how to explain it. He just felt that looking at Liu Wanyi would make him feel guilty. She was obviously still underage. It was really an evil old society.
He thought for a while, organized his words and said: "Wanyi, since we are married today, we are husband and wife. There are no secrets between husband and wife. I will tell you something today, and please don't tell others. ."
Liu Wanyi blinked and showed due curiosity, nodded and said: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Is it something related to the gods in the sky?"
"That's right."
Zhao Yi said seriously: "My master is a god in the sky. When I came down from the mountain, he warned me not to be close to women before the age of twenty. Otherwise, not only will all the immortal magic disappear, but also bad luck will accompany me throughout my life, affecting my health." Relatives around me, now you are my wife, my lord is my father, and you are the people closest to me. Once something happens, you will be the first to suffer. How can I, Zhao Yi, bear to see you suffer? So? ..."
Liu Wanyi was a little unbelievable when she heard Zhao Yi's words. She bit her lip and struggled for a while and said: "Husband, is it three years? I will be eighteen in three years. Don't you think... it would be a bit difficult to have a child at that time?" Is it too late? But if...if doing so will hurt you and my father, I can wait. It’s just three years. I will keep my duty as a wife. Don’t worry, the gods in the sky will definitely say it. To listen.”
Zhao Yi was stunned. He didn't expect that Liu Wanyi believed his words without any doubt, but such a simple girl would deceive her.
Zhao Yi then thought about it and realized that he was doing this for the other's own good. Giving birth at a young age would be very harmful to the body. If she waited three years, she would be much safer when she becomes an adult at the age of eighteen.
"Wanyi, you are really considerate, so let's take a rest early."
