Even if Sun Quan wanted to cover up Sun Fu's incident, he could not. It quickly spread throughout Jiangdong, especially among the upper class in Jiangdong, causing an uproar.
The Sun family's journey in Jiangdong never seemed to be smooth sailing.
Wujun.
Sun's Ancestral Hall.
The hall was filled with green smoke.
Wu sat under Sun Jian's spiritual tablet, silent and speechless.
After a while, a servant whispered outside the hall, "The third young master has arrived..."
"Pass." Mrs. Wu still had her eyes closed, her hands clasped together, motionless. Even when Sun Yi came to her side, she didn't say hello immediately. Instead, she waited for a moment, whether it was after chanting sutras or silent prayers, and then turned around and looked at the kneel down.
Sun Yi on one side.
"Come, give incense to your father..." Wu gave up her position in the middle and said to Sun Yi.
Sun Yi stepped forward, took the incense, lit it on the candle, then bowed three times before inserting the incense into the incense burner, and finally kowtowed again before retreating. When he turned around, he saw
Wu's eyes were faint, as if piercing through the curling smoke, looking towards an unknown place.
"..." Sun Yi didn't know whether he should step forward or withdraw.
"Come." Wu pointed to the brocade ball beside her, "Sit down."
Sun Yi sat down.
"Your father is not a good person..." Wu said slowly, but Sun Yi was startled when she opened her mouth, "After your father keeps insisting that he is a grandson... Haha, tell me, why?"
?』
"This..." Sun Yi couldn't help but glance at Sun Jian's tablet.
"Haha, don't worry, your dad is not such a stingy person..." Mrs. Wu seemed to have thought of something, smiled, and then patted Sun Yi's hand, "Your dad... actually has nothing to do with your grandson."
...』
Sun Jian has always insisted that he is the descendant of Sun Wu who wrote the handed down art of war during the Spring and Autumn Period. Although this can indeed enhance Sun Jian's own identity, this statement also exposes some problems. A person, or Sun Jian's Sun at that time
Everyone in the family can only talk about people from six or seven hundred years ago to support their own face. What is the problem in their bones?
This just shows that in the past six or seven hundred years, there has been no more prominent figure in the Sun family...
Of course, later generations of Wu books still insisted on stating and boasting that Sun Jian's ancestors were all officials, but never mentioned the specific names and professional titles...
"Your father..." Wu laughed, "He was originally a pirate... He thought he could hide it from me, so I pretended to be confused..."
"Sea, pirates?!" Sun Yi's eyes widened and he could hardly believe his ears.
"Yier, who do you think your father is?" Wu looked at Sun Yi with interest and asked.
Sun Yi was obviously at a loss, "I thought, I thought it was...a house of poems and books..."
"Hahahahaha..." Mrs. Wu looked up and laughed as if she had heard the funniest joke. She burst into tears. Then she wiped it with her sleeve, "Your father also lied to me like this back then..."
』
It is recorded in history books that Sun Jian was only 16 years old at the time, and he had just been working as a temporary worker in a small town. Then he witnessed the pirates dividing the spoils while traveling on a boat. The young Sun Jian showed his extraordinary acting talent and successfully played the role of
The character of an officer who was commanding the army to suppress the attack scared away the pirates, and then showed his bravery. He chased and killed a pirate alone. He immediately became famous in one fell swoop and successfully changed from a temporary worker to a regular employee.
At that time, he was the acting captain of the Seoul Urban Management Bureau.
"The home of poetry and books? Haha, your grandfather was a farmer! Your father was only sixteen, and in the blink of an eye he was able to recruit thousands of people to join the army? Where did the money come from? How did the food and grass come from? Haha..." Wu
Shi turned to look at Sun Yi, "So, do you know who was acting with your father at that time...?"
"Who?" Sun Yi asked subconsciously.
Wu smiled slightly, "I can't tell you everything...but I can tell you the name of one person...Zu Maozu Darong..."
"What?!" Sun Yi was shocked.
Wu nodded, then her eyes became stern, "So do you know how Zu Darong died?"
"It's not that..." Sun Yi was stunned, "Could it be..."
Wu sighed and looked at Sun Jian's tablet, "Zu Darong...he was a heavy drinker, and he didn't keep his mouth shut...at that time, he almost revealed all of your father's secrets...even the matter of the jade seal."
, he also let it slip... and then... he died... At first, your father... was still protecting him, and then I sent someone to kill him... Your father was still at odds with me for a long time...
…』
Wu turned her head and looked at Sun Yi, her tone still calm, "So, do you understand what I mean?"
Sun Yi pressed his chest, feeling as if he was out of breath, "My child, my child... I will definitely drink less alcohol... This matter will never be spread to anyone..."
Mrs. Wu hummed, and then pointed to Sun Jian's memorial tablet, "I will only talk about these things here... If you can't hold it in anymore, you can come here to talk about it... But if your wife finds out about you,
Spread it outside... think about Zu Darong..."
"Wei!" Sun Yi responded quickly, feeling a little sweat on his back.
"Yellow turban, Xiqiang...your father's restless temper...haha..." Mrs. Wu nodded, seeming to be immersed in memories again, "Your father finally worked hard and became the prefect...it is more or less put on."
The official uniform... can be regarded as fulfilling all my wishes..."
When Mrs. Wu was still Mrs. Wu, Sun Jian proposed to the Wu family, but the elders of the Wu family thought it was inappropriate and rejected her because they disliked her "frivolousness".
Sun Jian was naturally unhappy and expressed a very strong attitude, "Jian is so ashamed", and then everyone in the Wu family was afraid...
But why be afraid?
You must know that Sun Jian was just a small county magistrate at that time. He had not yet been blessed by the Yellow Turbans and Xiqiang, nor had he experienced any crusade against Dong Zhuo. He was basically an unknown petty official, while Wu's father had served as the governor of Danyang.
Although he died in office, he was not a white man. How could he be afraid of a county magistrate?
Later, Mrs. Wu stood up and said to her relatives: "Why do you love a woman to bring disaster? If she doesn't meet her, she will die." Then she married Sun Jian. This shows that Sun Jian was far more than just a county at that time.
It's so simple.
"Your father, this heart is getting bigger and bigger... Hey, this is a good thing and a bad thing..." Mrs. Wu shook her head, "What happened next is that your father went to Luoyang... and then
Later, he died... Do you know by whose hands your father died?"
"They are the two thieves Liu Biao and Huang Zu!" Sun Yi said angrily.
Mrs. Wu shook her head and said, "Wrong."
"Ah?!" Sun Yi was stunned.
"Your father... died at the hands of the hussars..." Mrs. Wu said slowly.
After so many years, maybe it was not clear at first, but after all, paper cannot cover the fire, and the cause of Sun Jian's death has gradually been revealed, but now even if he knows it, he still treats it as not knowing, and just treats these things
, buried in her heart, if Sun Yi's performance had not really dissatisfied Mrs. Wu this time, Mrs. Wu would not have spoken out about this matter, and used it to beat and point out Sun Yi.
"What?!"
Sun Yi was about to jump up, but he slowly held it back under Mrs. Wu's stern eyes and sat down again.
"What? You are allowed to kill, but others are not allowed to kill you?" Mrs. Wu looked at the coffin on the table, and seemed to be telling Sun Jian, or she was talking to Sun Yi, "You are thinking of killing others, and others are not allowed to kill you."
Of course I want to kill you! What’s so surprising about this?」
"Some people are officials on the outside, but they are thieves on the inside!" Mrs. Wu looked at Sun Jian's memorial tablet, "Your father was originally a thief, but he grew an official heart! I advised him that he could not be an official."
Forget it, just be a thief! In the end, he didn’t! Tell me, if a person like him doesn’t die, who will die? Ah?』
"He doesn't even look at whether there are more officials or thieves in this world?!"
"Others are working as officials and secretly being thieves, but he is better. He can obviously be a thief directly, but he chooses to be an official secretly!"
"Is this official so easy to do?"
"ah?!"
"Your father didn't figure it out, so he died... Your eldest brother figured it out, but..." Mrs. Wu let out a long sigh, her voice trembling a little, "But it was only after he died that he figured it out...
What’s the use! What’s the use?!』
"Your eldest brother never likes to listen to me...just like your father!" Mrs. Wu sniffed, as if something was blocking her, "You always like to go against me...Actually, I know that your eldest brother thinks that I accompany him."
He has less time and more time to take care of you... He also wants me to care about him and accompany him, so he deliberately does something to attract my attention... But the problem is, if I go around him, what will you do?
What to do? Leave you alone? He is the eldest brother after all..."
"Then your second brother..." Mrs. Wu turned to look at Sun Yi and said, "I originally thought your second brother really understood, but now I find that your second brother pretended to understand... and then you..."
Mrs. Wu shook her head, "How come your Sun family is like this..."
"My child, my child dare not..." Sun Yi sobbed and did not dare to answer.
"Stop pretending to be pitiful!" Mrs. Wu glared at Sun Yi, "What are you afraid of? Aren't you gathering people to go out for war? Good, what a young hero! What a tiger father and no dog son! Good.
One person steps up to shoulder the heavy responsibility! How wonderful! It’s simply wonderful!』
"Child... this... that..." Sun Yi wanted to tell the difference, but didn't know what to say.
"What is this?" Mrs. Wu pressed forward step by step, "In terms of position, who do you think you are? Which one is not higher than you? In terms of seniority, who do you think you are? Sun Youtai didn't say a word, so you have a loud voice or something? In terms of seniority, who do you think you are?"
Ability, what are your abilities? Invulnerable, one person can stop thousands of enemies?』
"Baby, baby..." Sun Yi finally stopped talking, but there was still some anger in his expression.
"Still can't understand?" Mrs. Wu seemed to be unable to hold back and wanted to slap Sun Yi, but finally endured it, "I really don't know what evil I have done, meeting you guys... your father's side."
If Fan could have a decent counselor, he might not die in Jingzhou! Then your father's death made your elder brother know how to find counselors! Only after finding Zhou Gongjin did he have Zigang and Zibu!"
"But your eldest brother still dare not use Zhongxiang, can't stand Zhou Lin, and can't use Gu Lu and Zhu Zhang until his death!" Mrs. Wu asked Sun Yi, "Tell me! Why is this?"
Sun Yi said: "These people in Jiangdong...are not good people..."
"Haha, you know that too?" Mrs. Wu sneered, "Then you still let it be manipulated?! Then who are you?!"
The similarity between Sun Ce and Sun Jian is that they are brave and good at fighting. The difference is that Sun Jian does not have any decent counselors under his command. Sun Ce attaches great importance to these counselors because his father suffered a loss, but there are also differences between internal and external, or treat them differently. Sun Ce deeply
He knew that refugees from outside the country like Zhang Zhao did not pose a threat to him and could be used with confidence. However, the local gentry in Jiangdong, who were all in the same spirit and intertwined with each other, neither owed him any favors nor looked down on Sun's humble background from the bottom of their hearts.
, it is very difficult to make these people obedient.
If he wanted to subdue these people, he had to either go soft or hard, and Sun Ce chose the hard one. He chose the hard one, partly because Sun Ce was used to it, and partly because Sun Ce was lazy and didn't like to use his brain in this area.
…
"Do you remember Gao Kongwen?" Mrs. Wu asked.
Gao Dai, Gao Kongwen.
Although Sun Yi didn't know what Mrs. Wu wanted to say, she still nodded slightly.
"Gao Kongwen is famous all over the Yangtze River... Your eldest brother originally wanted to ask Gao Kongwen to assist him, but he didn't think about what to do with Gao Kongwen..." Mrs. Wu said lightly, "In the end, someone was instigating both sides. On the one hand, he told Gao Kongwen not to talk to your eldest brother.
I Ching, your eldest brother hates people who play with knowledge the most, and on the other hand, he told your eldest brother that if you ask Gao Kongwen about the I Ching, and Gao Kongwen replies that he doesn’t know, he is despising your eldest brother..."
"You know what happened next..." Mrs. Wu raised her head, "I'll tell you something you don't know... Later, I led my men to catch up with that man. Seeing that he couldn't escape, he committed suicide...
…Do you think this is a coincidence?』
"What? Why didn't I know about this..." Sun Yi was obviously hearing about it for the first time, "Is it possible that this person... was also sent by the Hussar to deliberately sow discord?"
"Anyway, it's either Fei or Cao..." Mrs. Wu said, "Personally, I think it's more like Cao... Back then, your eldest brother sent people to Xudu to pay tribute, and then this person came...
』
"You think Jiangdong is located in a corner, so it's safe? You can sit here and watch the two tigers fight?" Mrs. Wu shook her head and sighed, "But I don't know how many people are already lurking in the bushes in Jiangdong.
In the shadows! And your second brother is still complacent... And you, are you still thinking about showing off your martial arts and fighting bravely?"
"Speaking of martial arts, isn't your father not brave enough?"
"Isn't your elder brother good at martial arts?"
"But what happened next?" Mrs. Wu couldn't hold it back in the end and patted Sun Yi on the back of the head, "Can Wu Yong survive? Ah? I wish they all were so angry to death!"
"After your eldest brother died, your second brother became a little smarter," Mrs. Wu snorted coldly, "Your second brother was just like you back then, leading a thousand people to fight against the bandits... Huh, those bandits,
If they say they are bandits, are they really bandits?! If Zhou Youping hadn't blocked twelve knives for your second brother, huh...who is next to you now? Who can block the knives for you? Hmm?"
"But in the sentence, aren't they all salt workers and miners..." Sun Yi replied subconsciously, and then realized that there was something wrong with what he said.
"Think of it?" Mrs. Wu stared at Sun Yi, "You just figured it out now... If you don't go, they will just be salt workers and miners. If you go, you won't know what they are!"
Complex emotions swirled around Sun Yi's chest and abdomen, making the muscles on Sun Yi's cheeks twitch. "Such a thief is so brave!"
"How much courage does it take to bully a fool?" Mrs. Wu sneered, "If I don't call you here today, will you run away secretly tomorrow? You are such a big man, why don't you be more thoughtful?
What? Since they made the sentence so simple, why didn't they go? The head of the Zhu family is away, so I won't mention it. The Lu family is weaker, forget it. What about the other two families? That family's private soldiers are no better than yours.
The number of recruits is still large? The tools and weapons are more sophisticated than your men? Why don't they move and come to advocate to you? Don't you think about it?"
"If you leave, Guoyi will definitely die! You won't be much better!" Mrs. Wu pointed at Sun Yi's nose and scolded, "I originally thought that you were all old and didn't want to scold you too much, but you ended up
See for yourselves, what have you done to the Sun family? Your second brother mobilized troops, and then what? As a result, you also want to fight, and then what?! The whole Sun family, father, son, and brother, are all in the hands of others.
Swords and guns? Can’t you have some snacks?!』
Sun Yi was silent, then he knelt down on the ground and lowered his head deeply, "My child...I know I was wrong..."
"If you realize your mistake, you have to change it! You have to change it! Don't admit your mistakes all day long, and in the end you won't change anything!" Mrs. Wu kicked Sun Yi, but she only touched it lightly, which was far better than the slap she had given Sun Yi before.
The force on the back of the head should be lighter, "I knew you were all like this... Huh! Kneel over there! Kneel in front of your father's spiritual tablet!"
"I'll just ask three questions. Just think about it here today. When will you figure it out? When will you come out to see me again..."
"The first question is, as I said just now, why did they encourage you to go instead of going?"
"The second question is, who is behind the sentence incident?"
"The third question is, what should you do in this current situation to be appropriate?"
"Think carefully! Be more attentive!" Mrs. Wu finally curled her lips in disgust and walked out.
Mrs. Wu stood at the door of the hall, leaning on the door frame and looking into the distance, showing a rare tired look.
There are some stone statues standing on both sides of the door walkway of Sun's Ancestral Hall, and behind the statues, there are some trees planted. Now in the autumn wind, yellow, yellow, red, and colorful fallen leaves are scattered all over the ground, as if they are paving the way for a new era.
A vague road leading to an unknown distance...
After a while, Mrs. Wu stuffed back the weakness and fatigue that had been revealed little by little. When she stepped out of the hall, she was the shrewd and decisive Mrs. Wu again...
She knew that even though there were a lot of wrinkles on her face and a lot of wind and frost on her head, she still couldn't fall down. For the sake of the Sun family, for the Wu family, and as the wife of the thief,
The mother of these idiots, she must move forward, and she can only move forward, with her head held high...
