In the spring of the following year, it was agreed that Sun Ce would marry Da Qiao, and Zhou Yu would marry Xiao Qiao, becoming brothers-in-law.

At the beginning of the spring, Yuan Shu borrowed troops from the Xiongnu Yufuluo to attack Jiujiang, defeated Jiujiang County, and hanged Chen Wen, the governor of Yangzhou. He was very high-spirited and unparalleled for a while.

However, Qilin knew very well that Yuan Shu would soon fall. Sun Ce received an edict from Yuan Shu, ordering him to send troops to help. Qilin offered his plan and politely declined, forming a tacit understanding with Zhou Yu. The two jointly persuaded Sun Ce.

Sun Ce said: "Yuan Shu promised that once Jiujiang is won, he will appoint me as the governor of Jiujiang. Wouldn't it be better to have another place?"

Qilin mumbled, "He won't honor it. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."

Zhou Yu said: "The long-term goal is Jiangdong, Jiujiang, why fight at this moment? Your biggest enemy is Yuan Shu, who will soon make people angry and bring disobedience to the world. After the soldiers and horses are dispersed, it is time to defeat them one by one. There is no chance of defeating them."

At this time, I will take my soldiers to die and fight Chen Wen head-on."

Sun Ce's general was suspicious, but news came ten days later that Sun Ce's cousin Sun Ben sent troops with Yuan Shu. As soon as Jiujiang was captured, Yuan Shu betrayed his promise and drove him back to Danyang.

Sun Ben was disgraced and nearly half of his army was lost. Sun Ce recruited troops and horses, and his family became prosperous and flourished.

In March of that year, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu each got married.

When the ice and snow first melted, Qilin sat in front of the porch, with Sun Ce's red cloak around his neck. Zhou Yu held a pair of scissors and looked at the pattern hanging on the wall of the courtyard to help Qilin cut his hair.

Sun Ce pointed at the side: "What does a man look like if he doesn't grow hair, and cuts it like a young monk, and doesn't shave it off?"

Qilin said: "I like it, no matter what, Long!

Zhou Yu smiled and said: "He likes you, Mo Long!

Sun Ce rolled up his sleeves, looked at it for a moment, and then asked, "Where are you from? Jiuyuan people don't have such customs."

Qilin smiled and said: "The people in Jiuyuan don't have it, but I have it. It's hard to buy it with a lot of money. I'm happy."

Zhou Yu smiled.

Sun Ce had a free day, so he went back to the backyard and chatted with Zhou Yu Qilin, just like a monkey returning home after finishing his work, looking for a wife and concubines, joking, and said: "We have to get married in the evening, Gong Jin is also doing repairs for me."

Zhou Yu frowned slightly and said "Hmm". That afternoon, Zhou Yu first cut Qilin's hair, then took a knife, dipped it in water, asked Sun Ce to sit down, and shaved his face.

In a courtyard, flowers were blooming in spring, and the sun was shining warmly. Sun Ce squinted his eyes and let the blade of Zhou Yu's fingers rub against his handsome face, making him hum in comfort.

"Okay." Zhou Yu said regretfully: "It's my turn, so I'd better send a master to repair it, so that you two won't mess up."

"Hey——! What kind of master are you looking for? I'll do it!"

"I'll come, I'll come!"

Qilin and Sun Ce forced Zhou Yu to sit down and began to grab the knife. Zhou Yu said angrily: "Be careful and cut your hand!"

Sun Ce won the fight, he smiled slyly, gesticulating with the knife, his fingers were restless, and he kept pinching Zhou Yu's face.

Qilin went to the side to play chess with Sun Quan. Zhou Yu said intermittently: "This time Yuan Shu attacked Jiujiang and broke his promise. When he becomes emperor in the future, he will have very little response."

Sun Ce pinched Zhou Yu's face with his thumb and index finger, and said, "We will get married tonight, how about we stop talking about world affairs?"

Zhou Yu was pinched so hard that his mouth was deformed. He turned his head away with difficulty and winked at Qilin resentfully.

Qilin and Sun Quan laughed together. Qilin took Zhou Yu's words and said: "We are getting married, not 'you'."

Sun Ce smiled and said: "Same."

Qilin said: "We have discussed whoever Yuan Shu will fight next, it will be you who goes into battle."

Sun Ce pinched Zhou Yu until he drooled, so he wiped it with his sleeve and said casually: "Why?"

Qilin answered the question on the chessboard. Sun Quan thought hard and scratched his head. Qilin said casually: "Since he broke his trust for the first time and raised his troops for the second time, there must not be many people who are willing to follow him. At this time, you volunteer and go

Lead the troops to march first, just take advantage of the opportunity..."

Sun Ce was meditating, the sun shone down, and the sharp knife in his hand stopped just beside the aorta in Zhou Yu's neck.

Sun Quan and Qilin yelled at Sun Ce, "Kill! Kill!"

Sun Ce: "..."

Zhou Yu: "..."

That night when the young and old Qiao passed by, Sun's mother came and sat in the same hall with Zhou Yu's mother-in-law Zhou Jing. Hou's daughter-in-law served tea and her son exchanged letters. The young and old Qiao opened the curtain to see their uncle again.

The banquet had just stopped, and the red candles in the house were burning high, reflecting Sun Ce's face. Zhou Yu's face was rosy. Zhou Yu's eyebrows were deeply furrowed, and he did not look like a bridegroom. He accompanied Sun Ce to toast.

Da Qiao was extravagantly beautiful with expensive makeup, while Xiao Qiao was reserved and elegant, as beautiful as an orchid. The two girls held the tea in their own hands and handed it to Sun Quan.

Ten-year-old Sun Quan was held down in his position, looking at the two beauties from Jiangdong, feeling a little embarrassed. Xiao Qiao covered his mouth and laughed while he was at a loss.

Sun Quan felt uncomfortable all over, so he took two cups of tea and took a sip each. He hurriedly ran down and ran away.

Da Qiao seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said seriously: "Third uncle, please sit down."

Qilin said: "What?"

Xiao Qiao pulled Qilin and asked him to sit on Sun Quan's seat. Qilin was in the mist, and the servants had already changed him to hot tea.

Qilin understood, and suddenly felt indescribably moved in his heart.

"Back then, under Lu Bu's command, I was in charge of Diao Chan's marriage." Qilin smiled and took the tea brought by Da Qiao and drank it: "Diao Chan didn't serve me any tea."

Xiao Qiao responded and said softly: "Zhou Lang and his brother-in-law gave special instructions. Although the husband is in Jiangdong as a guest, he is planning for his brother-in-law. The old lady is trapped in Wu County. Thanks to the help of the third uncle, everyone is like brothers.

Although there is no need to adhere to this common etiquette, after all..."

Qilin smiled and said: "Sisters-in-law, how dare you accept such a gift? This marriage will surely become a story for eternity."

Qilin drank tea, bowed to Xiao Qiao, sighed in his heart, and walked out of the outer hall.

By now the banquet was over and the guests had dispersed. Sun Ce was staying in a foreign country and kept everything simple. The Wu family had also returned home. The servants had tidied up the hall, and the young and old men had gone back to their rooms to wait for the groom.

Qilin stood under the court, sighed, and looked at the bright moon in the sky, as if he had returned to the night when Lu Bu and Diao Chan got married.

He took out the pottery xun and played it leisurely. Unfortunately, no one was around to play the Qiang flute this time.

The sound of the xun also came from Sun Quan's room, matching the melody intermittently.

"Sun Quan, it's time to sleep." Qilin said.

Sun Quan responded and the lights in the room were turned off.

Da Qiao lives in the east wing, and Xiao Qiao lives in the west wing. There are corridors on both sides, and the lights in the room are still on.

The marriage hasn't been consummated yet? Where have those two guys gone? Qilin suddenly remembered that he had not seen Sun Zhou since they were in prison together. It was almost the second watch, and the lights were still on in the bride's room.

Xiao Qiao opened the window and said with a little embarrassment: "Qilin."

"I know, I'll go take a look." Qilin walked out of the garden to look for it.

Zhou Yu was seen holding a wine jar, drunk and leaning on the stone table in the pavilion.

Sun Ce was shirtless and murmured: "Come again, drink!"

"Mr. Sun..." In Zhou Yu's eyes, Sun Ce had changed four times.

"Hey, dear brother--" Sun Ce shook his head and reached out to touch Zhou Yu's face.

Zhou Yu waved it away, and Sun Ce fell down and rolled down the pavilion.

"You two, it's time to go back and rest." Qilin smiled and said, "My sisters-in-law asked me to come out to look for you."

"You... Qilin..." Zhou Yu pointed at Qilin and said with a glare, "Come and drink... drink together."

Qilin was quiet for a moment and said: "In life, there are always many things that cannot go according to one's wishes. The future is long, so why worry about this moment?"

Zhou Yu sighed deeply, hugged the wine jar, and stumbled away.

Zhou Yu was so drunk that he was confused. He figured out the direction and was about to go to Xiao Qiao's room.

Qilin was also a little confused. He gestured with his left and right hands, as if he was wondering which way was east and which way was west. Then he felt something was wrong and shouted: "Which way to go?!"

Zhou Yu: "?"

Zhou Yu looked left and right, so drunk that he was dizzy, nodded and said: "Oh." Then he turned around and walked towards the big Qiao room.

Sun Ce snored loudly like thunder, Qilin said: "Bo Fu, get up, go back and hug your wife!"

Sun Ce choked on his snoring, turned a deaf ear to it, and continued snoring.

Qilin said: "Come here, bring a bucket of cold water."

Sun Ce jumped up instantly and said with a smile: "When is it!" Then he asked himself and answered: "Oh, we are married!" After saying that, he turned around and ran away. His head hit the pavilion pillar, hit a big bump, and cried out in pain.

"Get dressed." Qilin laughed so hard that he couldn't stand still.

Sun Ce stumbled all the way across the garden. He stood in front of the porch dizzy and dizzy. He looked at it for a moment and said to himself: "Where is Gong Jin?"

Qilin made another gesture with his left and right hands to identify the east-west direction and said: "Where did Gongjin go? Is that the west chamber or the east chamber?"

"You're so confused."

Sun Ce felt a little strange, but since Zhou Yu was there, he should... He turned around and ran towards the west wing.

After a while, Xiao Qiao screamed, and a shirtless Sun Ce ran out of the west wing again, hopping around.

Qilin stood in the courtyard, suddenly realized that he had made a mistake, and ran away.

"Qilin! You must have done it on purpose!" Sun Ce scolded.

Zhou Yu, who had entered the wrong Da Qiao's new house, blushed. He walked out of the room, pulled up his outer robe, crossed his body with Sun Ce, held each other's hands, and after a shake, they let go and went back to their rooms.
