"That person is..."

Mrs. Wu obviously saw a familiar person, but she was just familiar. She wanted to recall who she was, but she couldn't find a clue for a while.

Seeing this, Sun Quan smiled slightly. To be honest, if he hadn't experienced the illusion of three thoughts just now, he might not have recognized the other party.

"Mom, I know who he is." Sun Quan said.

"Who?" Mrs. Wu couldn't help but turn around.

"When he was a child, he often came to our house." Sun Quan smiled.

"When I was a child..." Mrs. Wu was slightly stunned. He contacted Sun Quan's words and looked at the facial features of the man on the shore. He suddenly recalled, "Is it possible that Zhu Zhishou's son? By the way, it must be, it's like that boy back then!" As he spoke, Mrs. Wu looked at Sun Quan again and said in surprise, "I said Quan'er, you haven't seen him a few times when you were a child, and you still recognize him now?"

"Although I have only seen him a few times, every time he comes, I will take him to play with him." Sun Quan replied.

This person is Zhu Ran!

Speaking of Zhu Ran, we have to talk about Zhu Zhi first. Zhu Zhi was the enlightenment teacher of Sun Quan and others, and was a rare civil servant under Sun Jian back then. Usually, Sun Jian took Cheng Puhan Dang and others out to fight, and Zhu Zhi was in charge of the base camp and managed internal affairs. Therefore, he also shouldered the teaching tasks of Sun Quan and others. Don’t underestimate this so-called "tutor" as Yuan Wei, just like the emperor's teacher, Zhu Zhi, who can be a teacher of the direct descendants of the Sun family, naturally has an extraordinary status.

However, Zhu Zhi had a regret at that time, that he never had a son. So, Zhu Zhi's sister adopted her son to Zhu Zhi, which was Zhu Ran. Although Zhu Zhi later had his own biological son, according to ancient rules, Zhu Ran was Zhu Zhi's eldest son, and he could only be said to be not the eldest.

In short, in those years, Zhu Zhi really regarded Zhu Ran as his own son, and was even the only heir to train him. Therefore, when he occasionally went to the Sun family to teach, Zhu Zhi also brought Zhu Ran with him. It was Zhu Ran whom Sun Quan met from that time.

Sun Quan was a little adult and never liked to play with real children. But when he heard that the other party was Zhu Ran, he was a little famous person in history, so he deliberately took the other party to play several times. However, later, it was probably because Zhu Zhi had his own son, and his focus gradually changed, and Sun Quan never saw Zhu Ran again.

No matter what, at this moment, Sun Quan was happy. It was not the joy of meeting his childhood friends again, but the joy of meeting another general after Lu Meng!

In fact, whether it is Lu Meng, Zhu Ran, Zhou Tai, or even Huang Gai, these people are of great significance to Sun Quan. It is not because these people are very talented and can consolidate the Sun family's territory. In Jiangdong, there are many talented people, and there are many more people who are more powerful and famous than these people, but these people are truly Sun Quan's direct descendants, and it was Sun Quan who promoted them from the grassroots!

Others, like Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao and Zhang, are all very powerful figures. You, Sun Wu, don’t use them, other princes will rush to use them. In addition, although younger generations like Lu Xun and Bu Zhi can take on great responsibilities, they cannot be separated from Sun Quan, but they are all from big families and their growth and teachings have nothing to do with Sun Quan. These people have a subconscious mind, that is, even without Sun Quan, they can at least be a small official and live a worry-free life. Only Lu Meng, Zhu Ran, Zhou Tai, and Huang Gai are different. Without Sun Quan, they really may not be able to make a fortune in their lives. It is precisely because of this that they are loyal to Sun Quan and even sacrifice their lives!

Because of his familiarity with history, Sun Quan has a very "foresight", but these foresights are not necessarily very good sometimes. For example, Sun Quan knew that in history, before the Battle of Chibi, Zhang Zhao and others had always advocated surrender. Although they could not be said to be wrong, Sun Quan would not blame Zhang Zhao for it. However, this also made Sun Quan understand that smart people often know the current affairs, and they often consider themselves more. How dare Sun Quan trust Zhang Zhao completely? Similarly, some children of aristocratic families usually put their own family interests first.

Various reasons have led to Sun Quan's special preference for promoting grassroots himself. Although these people are not necessarily the best, they are the ones he uses the most worry-free. Unfortunately, there are too few grassroots who are truly capable and potential. Except for those who have proved themselves in history, Sun Quan dare not rashly promote others. So, in the final analysis, Sun Quan still had to appoint a large number of children from aristocratic families and various smart people, so Sun Quan really didn't want to worry about political affairs himself. He just wanted to be a idle prince.

Back to the scene,

"Zhu Ran, I haven't seen each other for several years, and I didn't expect to have grown up so old. It seems that Zhu Zhi sent him out to train, and he might let him take over this chamber of commerce in the future." Mrs. Wu whispered.

Sun Quan nodded. Without his intervention, Zhu Ran, as Zhu Zhi's adopted son, might have only been a businessman in the future. But now...

"Your noble man is here."

"Mom, Zhu Ran should be trusted. Go and call your younger brothers and sisters over, and I'll go out to test it first." Sun Quan said.

"Quan'er, be careful. People may change." Mrs. Wu reminded Sun Quan that she would not completely trust the other party just because the other party was Zhu Ran. After all, Mrs. Wu didn't know much about Zhu Ran.

"I understand. Without my hint, don't come here later." Sun Quan said.

"Um."

After Mrs. Wu left the grass, Sun Quan appeared out.

"Zhu Ran!" Sun Quan jumped out and shouted.

On the shore, a young man with dark skin moved when he heard the sound and looked at Sun Quan, but was slightly stunned, as if he had known that Sun Quan would appear here for a long time. Without exclaiming loudly, he immediately ran to Sun Quan.

"Second Young Master, it's you!" As he said that, Zhu Ran looked around and couldn't help but say, "Where is Madam and the others?"

"Boy, I'm not young anymore, but I'm still unstable at all." Sun Quan patted Zhu Ran on the shoulder hard. Just like when he was a child, he educated the other party like a little adult, "I dare to ask any questions blindly!"

Hearing this, Zhu Ran was shocked and realized that he had said the wrong thing. Although his skin was dark, his face turned pale for a moment. If Sun Quan suspected his motives because of this, Zhu Ran might have even died under Sun Quan's long sword.

"Second Young Master, I just worry that if I stayed for a long time, I would be able to see the clues by someone with ulterior motives. Then I asked a question in a hurry, but there was no other meaning." Zhu Ran quickly explained.

"Don't be nervous." Sun Quan smiled slightly, "If I don't believe it, I won't remind you."

Seeing that Sun Quan's smile seemed to be real, Zhu Ran breathed a little relieved. When he was a child, his playmate? What a joke? Sun Quan could treat him as a playmate, but Zhu Ran never dared to treat Sun Quan as a playmate. Compared to his childhood impression, Zhu Ran heard more about Sun Quan's reputation over the years.
