However, Mrs. Gan's answer was destined not to meet Sun Shangxiang's expectations.
"General Sun is serious. In our Xu family army, there is no rule that men should stay at home to take care of their wives and raise their children, and there is no rule that women should stay at home to take care of their husbands and raise their children." Mrs. Gan replied with a faint smile.
As soon as she finished speaking, she caught a glimpse of the young girl from the Sun family looking disappointed.
However, he still looked at her curiously, seeming to be thinking, since there are neither of these two rules, how could she, a woman, be accepted as an envoy to replace the leader on a mission.
But, she didn't ask directly.
Because in this hall, she has no qualifications to interfere with the interaction between the two armies.
No matter Sun Shangxiang still used another innocent way, he asked Mrs. Gan like a curious little daughter:
"Then madam, why are all the envoys in your Xu Family Army women?"
As soon as she asked her question, Sun Quan glanced at her sideways, frowned slightly, and shook his head slightly, with a hint of displeasure in his helpless eyes.
"Axiang, don't be so rude."
After all, he still had feelings for his sister, but Sun Quan just reminded him indifferently.
Sun Shangxiang ignored his brother, but still lowered his eyes and restrained himself.
Mrs. Gan saw the reactions of the two brothers and sisters, and after some calculations in her mind, she said:
"In our Xu family army, regardless of gender, Xu Mei and I were selected by the leader in terms of ability. It is because we have the ability to serve as envoys and are more outstanding than the male Taoist friends who are also competing."
Sun Shangxiang raised his head fiercely, "Regardless of gender, just ability? Can a woman's ability be stronger than that of a man?"
After a series of questions, Mrs. Gan was not angry because the other party was her husband's marriage partner, but patiently replied to her:
"Why can't women be stronger than men? Everyone has their own strengths, and it has nothing to do with men and women."
"Furthermore, the leader of my family prefers to use women, because he thinks women are more careful and skillful and more empathetic."
"A woman's carefulness, dexterity, and empathy can also be considered advantages?"
Sun Shangxiang was in a daze, then why did her brother and the others always say that she was troublesome, careless, and kind of a woman?
Mrs. Gan asked funnyly: "Why doesn't it count?"
A man who is careless can be said to be an unruly man.
Seeing that the topic was getting more and more sideways, Sun Quan quickly brought it back and asked Mrs. Gan about the details of the marriage between the two armies.
Yes, that's right, from Sun Quan's point of view, the marriage is already a certainty.
Moreover, Xu Jiajun's order gift has already been given - two artifacts that can transmit sounds from thousands of miles away.
Therefore, when Mrs. Gan asked Sun Shangxiang if he was willing, all the Soochow ministers in the palace changed their faces.
"What does the envoy mean by this? Does Leader Xu still want to regret it?" Zhou Yu asked sharply.
Mrs. Gan was startled by his loud voice.
Xu Mei glanced over coldly, "The marriage is not just a matter between the two armies. As the party concerned, can't Miss Sun still be unable to speak?"
Zhuge Liang also agreed, "Marriage is not a child's play. We are also afraid that the lady will regret it, so we ask one more question to avoid confusing the relationship and creating a resentful couple in the future because of you and me."
"General Sun loves his sister so much, so he probably doesn't want his sister to suffer for the rest of her life, right?"
This sounds nice to say.
But if you taste it carefully, it has a different taste.
It was said that he was thinking about Sun Shangxiang, but what everyone in Soochow heard was: I am afraid that your sister will not agree and will be resentful in her heart. Then she will vent her anger on us, causing our two families to fail to cooperate and turn into enemies!
Zhou Yu took a breath and retorted confidently:
"Since ancient times, marriage matters have been subject to the orders of the parents. According to the matchmaker, my lady has no parents. Naturally, her brother, my lord, makes the decision. My lord's wish is the lady's wish. What's the question? Zhuge Liang, don't deliberately provoke it.
dispute!"
Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn't expect that his opponent's IQ suddenly went up. It was strange~
Zhou Yu let out a long sigh of relief, finally winning the game!
But before he could feel proud enough, he heard Mrs. Gan say:
"There is something I don't know whether I should say or not, but I still have the guts to say it."
"Miss Sun, Zhao Bei is much older than you. It's no exaggeration to say that he can be your father. Moreover, he also has a wife who has been with him through thick and thin. They have a close relationship and together they have a lively daughter.
Adorable child.”
"If you marry him, you may not be able to achieve happiness. If so, is Miss Sun still willing to marry him?"
Sun Shangxiang's eyes widened, "He has a wife?"
Mrs. Gan was surprised, "Miss, don't you know?"
Sun Shangxiang shook his head and looked at his brother Sun Quan eagerly, "Brother!"
Mrs. Gan also glanced at Xu Mei, and Xu Mei nodded, saying that she had added it later and had not concealed the real information.
Then, the problem lies with Sun Quan.
As expected, he was informed. Faced with Sun Shangxiang's eager confirmation, he just sighed and comforted:
"Since he wants to marry you, he will naturally treat you as his mother-in-law and just a concubine. It will have no influence on you. Even the child can be raised in your own name."
How come there is no impact?
Sun Shangxiang couldn't agree with his brother's words, "But if I go, what will happen to his wife? What will she do to the wife who has been with him through life and death, sharing joys and sorrows?"
Sun Quan looked displeased at his sister who questioned him in front of the ministers, and his tone became cold.
His cold eyes fell on Mrs. Gan, "I think Chief Xu will arrange it for her! Right?"
Mrs. Gan also smiled and replied sarcastically: "General, don't worry, if the young lady agrees to go, we will pack everything up and welcome the young lady into the house."
"It's just that, in my personal capacity, I still want to remind you that Zhao Bei is by no means your lover."
As he said that, before Sun Quan could speak, he added, "It's not that we don't have other good men in our Xu family's army. Since the two families want to get married, why not let the young lady choose a suitable husband among our Xu family's army?"
Sun Quan lowered his voice, "What does the envoy mean by this? Could it be that Zhao Bei wants to regret his marriage?"
"We haven't agreed yet, so how can we talk about regretting the marriage?" Mrs. Gan retorted quickly.
Sun Quan's face turned dark immediately, he slapped the table with "Bang!" and shouted angrily:
"Going back on your word is the sincerity of your Xu Jiajun?!"
Xu Mei and Zhuge both stood up and came behind Mrs. Gan.
Zhuge Liang raised his hand to signal Sun Quan not to be angry, and explained: "It's not that I'm going back on my word, it's just that the leader of my family feels that marriage is not a trivial matter, and it's best to respect the opinions of the two parties involved, that's all."
When Sun Quan heard this, his mood suddenly exploded.
Since ancient times, marriage has not been left up to the parties concerned.
Besides, who among the Xu family's troops is more suitable than Zhao Bei?
But before Sun Quan could get angry, two of his counselors stood up and tried to persuade him.
It is said that Xu Jiajun has always been like this. Their political systems are different, so it is normal for them to be a little special.
