What happened to the escaped marriage? ! Is it a crime to escape from marriage? !
Also, for such an obvious thing, you actually had to use the maid’s prompts to figure it out. Isn’t it a bit stupid? !
Sun Shangxiang was unhappy and continued to keep a cold face and said nothing.
But Zhang Xi doesn’t understand, I really don’t understand.
"Then why did you go to Jiangling to find Zhou Yu? Isn't this his bad idea?!"
On the historical line, there is not much information about the specific process of this marriage. There is only a description of "it's good to be a good girl".
But in the romance line, letting Sun Shangxiang marry Liu Bei was Zhou Yu's bad idea.
To be honest, I didn’t think so when I was a child, but when I grew up and read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" again, I always felt that after the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu performed some unbearable and witty tricks.
Among them is this so-called marriage.
Marriage is a very important political event, but in Zhou Yu's eyes, it has become a kind of child's play, and he will take advantage of it. In the end, he "lost his wife and lost his troops."
Now Sun Shangxiang appeared in Jiangxia inexplicably and was taken to Xiakou. This should not be the direction of the historical line.
If it's not the direction of the history line, it should be the direction of the romance line.
Sun Shangxiang was also unlucky enough. She didn't want to get married, so she ran away from the marriage, but went to find someone who had bad ideas and advocated marriage. Isn't it the same as a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.
Sun Shangxiang obviously did not expect Zhang Xi to say this.
"Brother Gongjin has always loved me, how could it be Brother Gongjin's idea?!" Sun Shangxiang didn't believe it at all and said, "Besides, I heard from Lu Shu that it was the second brother who summoned Mr. Zhang and Lu Su The discussion was obviously the second brother’s idea.”
Your second brother, oh, Sun Shiwan, that’s okay.
Also, based on the contact between Zhang Xi and Zhou Yu during that period, if you say that Zhou Yu wants to trick Liu Bei in some way, Zhang Xi believes this, but if you say that Zhou Yu advocates marriage, the petty Governor Zuo is not so kind.
But if we follow the story line, Zhou Yu plans to let Liu Bei go to Chaisang to get married, so it doesn’t make sense to detain Liu Bei. After all, Liu Bei already went to Chaisang last time, so he didn’t detain such a good opportunity. There is no need to send another sister as a pawn. An excuse? !
But no matter what, Zhang Xi decided to go to Youjiangkou according to the original plan, and then send Sun Shangxiang across the river first, and then return to Youjiangkou to discuss matters.
After everything was explained clearly, there was no need for Sun Shangxiang to leave.
But for Zhang Xi, Sun Shangxiang still had no intention of letting go.
Because from Zhang Xi's words and deeds, Sun Shangxiang realized that Zhang Xi was still hiding many things from her, and she had to ask clearly this time.
Then, Sun Shangxiang knew that Zhang Xi was not only a county magistrate, but also an important counselor under Liu Bei's account, and his status was not low because of the information provided by Xiaoba's friendship.
In addition, Zhang Xi can also be regarded as a general. He once led troops in battle and attacked Jiangling. He also had a good relationship with Zhou Yu and once saved Zhou Yu's life on the battlefield. This is Zhang Xi's boast.
This is not great information. Even if Sun Shangxiang doesn't ask Xiaoba and Zhang Xi, he can find out by just asking any of the soldiers on the ship.
But the more Sun Shangxiang listened, the more he felt that there were more mysteries surrounding Zhang Xi.
And the biggest one among them is-how did he recognize himself.
According to Zhang Xi, he didn't know about the marriage between the Sun and Liu families. He just speculated based on the conventional alliance method. He didn't know what he looked like before.
So the question becomes, how did this guy discover his identity in Xiaji? !
"Well, do you want to continue fishing on the bow of the boat today?! You didn't catch any fish yesterday!!!"
This is Zhang Xi's answer.
Sun Shangxiang said on the spot that it was because the bait provided by Zhang Xi yesterday was not good, not because his skills were not good. He must catch a lot of fish today to show everyone his fishing skills.
Well, that's it. Sometimes this Sun Shangxiang is really surprisingly easy to coax, making people feel like a child who hasn't grown up.
By the time Sun Shangxiang realized that Zhang Xi had been perfunctory and avoiding answering this question, it was already four or five days later.
By this time, the ship had already arrived at the mouth of Youjiang River.
Zhang Xi immediately ordered the warship to go to the Jiangdong Army ferry on the north bank of the river. He first sent Sun Shangxiang and Xiao Hong ashore, and then called the small school on duty at the Jiangdong Army at the ferry. He took the letter he wrote to Zhou Yu and escorted Sun Shangxiang to Jiangling.
Sun Shangxiang originally disagreed. She was running away from marriage, so how could she go to Jiangling City with such a big fanfare?
But Zhang Xi told her that when she arrived at Jiangling City, her whereabouts would be completely exposed, and it was impossible for Zhou Yu not to tell Sun Quan about Sun Shangxiang's whereabouts.
So I don’t care about mornings these days.
Sun Shangxiang thought about it, so he didn't hesitate any more. He said goodbye to Zhang Xi with fists and hands in hand, and then rode on his beloved Xiaohong, but somehow he felt that he was not used to it.
When he turned around, Zhang Xi's warship had already left the shore. He turned around and headed for the south bank of the Yangtze River.
Sun Shangxiang calmed down his emotions of separation, and headed towards Jiangling City under the escort of a group of Jiangdong soldiers.
After traveling for four or five days on the road, Sun Shangxiang finally arrived in Jiangling City and found Zhou Yu's residence, the Nanjun Prefect's Mansion.
The ferry guard took Zhang Xi's letter, went to call the door, and then delivered the letter. After a while, Zhou Yu personally went out to greet Sun Shangxiang with a face of joy, took Sun Shangxiang into the backyard of the prefect's mansion, and settled Sun Shangxiang first.
As for the rest, we’ll talk about it later.
As for the general story of what happened, Zhang Xi has already written clearly in the letter, including that Sun Shangxiang lived in Xiaji, he treated him with courtesy, served him with good food and drink, and then sent him to Jiangling according to Sun Shangxiang's wishes. .
Zhou Yu can probably understand Sun Shangxiang's hardships along the way, but there is one question he still doesn't understand: why Sun Shangxiang ran away from home.
Earlier, when he received a letter from Sun Quan, Zhou Yu was also confused. My little sister was fine, how could she just run away from home? !
Who else in Jiangdong dares to bully the little girl? !
However, Sun Quan's letter did not go into too much detail. He only said that some misunderstandings caused Sun Shangxiang to run away from home. He asked Zhou Yu to pay more attention to Sun Shangxiang. Once he discovers Sun Shangxiang, he should ensure her safety first and send her away as soon as possible if possible. Come back to Chaisang.
Although Zhou Yu didn't know what was going on, he always ordered his troops to pay more attention to strangers coming and going, especially those who looked like nobles but did not have any identification documents.
After paying attention during this period, Sun Shangxiang did not find anything. Instead, he found some detailed works arranged by Cao Wei and Liu Bei. It was an unexpected surprise.
But now it's good, Sun Shangxiang has finally been found, and Zhou Yu can finally relax for the time being.
After Sun Shangxiang finished washing and changed his clothes, Zhou Yu finally took some time out of his busy schedule to chat with Sun Shangxiang and ask what the girl was getting into.
Of course, you can't ask the girl why she ran away from home right away. You have to coax her slowly. Once you're done, the girl will tell you.
Therefore, Zhou Yu first smiled and said to Sun Shangxiang, "Little sister, why do you have to come to my place?! Have you been working hard on this journey?!"
Sun Shangxiang pouted and said, "Does Brother Gongjin not know why I am here?! Didn't my second brother tell Brother Gongjin?!"
Zhou Yu was also embarrassed. He hadn't seen his little sister for a long time and felt that she was a bit aggressive.
"How can brother not know?!" Zhou Gongjin forced a smile before saying, "It's just that the letter from the master didn't go into too much detail, so brother really doesn't know why my little sister ran away from home."
Zhou Yu was telling the truth, but what about Sun Shangxiang? She thought of what Zhang Xi said on the boat.
After pondering for a while, Sun Shangxiang decided to test it out and said, "It's not brother Gongjin's bad idea. He said that my second brother would marry Liu Bei. The second brother wanted to marry me to a fifty-year-old man. How could I Don’t run away from home?!”
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, then felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look at Sun Shangxiang.
Although Zhou Yu did not say that he wanted Sun Shangxiang to marry, the idea of letting the aristocratic family marry Liu Bei and let Liu Bei be corrupted was indeed proposed by him like Sun Quan.
This idea was actually quite bad, and it wasn't necessarily very effective. Afterwards, Zhou Yu felt a little regretful when he thought about it, why he proposed such a rubbish strategy.
Well now, this strategy has not yet worked on Liu Bei, but it has caused his little sister to run away from home. Can Zhou Yu not feel guilty?
But when Sun Shangxiang saw Zhou Yu's performance, he immediately misunderstood and thought that Zhang Xi had really got it right because it was Zhou Yu's idea.
The fire in my heart suddenly rose.
"Is it really Brother Gongjin's bad idea?!" Sun Shangxiang suddenly shouted, with a look of disbelief on his face.
I really didn't expect that brother Gong Jin, who had always loved me, would actually be such a person. He escaped from marriage and actually ran to the culprit's house.
When Zhou Yu was asked this question, he was more or less unable to get off the stage, so he had to say, "This is a national matter. My little sister, don't talk too much about it. You should stay in the house first and rest for a few days. Then I will send someone to take you back to Chaisang."
Zhou Yu's original intention was to have someone escort Sun Shangxiang back to Chaisang, so that Sun Quan could rest assured. After all, it was not a problem for his sister to be living abroad, even in his place.
But when Sun Shangxiang heard that Zhou Yu was going to send her back, she immediately exploded.
"So you really want to marry me to a fifty-year-old man?!"
When Sun Shangxiang heard that Zhou Yu was going to send her back to Chaisang, she immediately ignored her, jumped up, pointed at Zhou Yu's nose, and asked, "Brother Gongjin, are you worthy of my elder brother by doing this?!"
Well, it's better not to say this. When he said it, Zhou Yu was a little annoyed.
It can be said that Zhou Gongjin worked extremely hard for the Sun family's career. He also treated Sun Ce and Sun Quan as brothers and friends. He also treated Sun Shangxiang as his sister. Anyone could say he was sorry to Sun Ce, but Sun Shangxiang shouldn't say that.
What is the friendship between the two families and what kind of person she is? As the sister of Sun Ce and Sun Quan, how can Sun Shangxiang not know about it? !
Are you still questioning yourself? !
However, it is somewhat difficult to argue with Sun Shangxiang. After all, it was Zhou Yu who watched him grow up.
"Come here, please get the young lady down so that she can have a rest!"
Zhou Yu could only do this.
He still had a lot of official business to deal with, so he couldn't always stay with Sun Shangxiang and explain to her the causes and consequences.
Now Sun Shangxiang is clearly on top. Zhou Yu, who knows Sun Shangxiang's character, knows that this girl won't listen to anything she says at this time.
Therefore, Zhou Yu's plan was to let Sun Shangxiang take a break and calm down.
I asked Xiao Qiao to help and persuade him first. After I finished handling the official business and had time, Sun Shangxiang calmed down, and then I went back to talk to Sun Shangxiang in detail.
Zhou Yu thought very well, but he forgot that Sun Shangxiang was a master who could come from Chaisang to Jiangling.
