After saying that, he praised Sun Quan for loving his sister. In that case, there is nothing wrong with letting the young lady look at each other by herself. Anyway, the young lady is still young now, so there is no need to worry and she can choose slowly.
After Sun Quan heard this, his eyes narrowed dangerously.
These two counselors were not like this before, so why are they suddenly speaking for Xu Jiajun's people today?
No, to be precise, it was how could they stand in Axiang’s position and speak for Axiang!
Sun Quan vaguely sensed something was wrong.
He glanced sideways at Sun Shangxiang, whose face was full of reluctance. She looked like a little daughter, but she simply felt that Zhao Bei was old and had a family, which did not fit her fantasy of a good husband.
Other than that, I can't see any other motives.
Could it be that he was overthinking it?
Also, what kind of intentions can a little girl who is only fourteen years old have?
Sun Quan temporarily put aside his doubts about his sister.
Set your sights on Zhuge Liang.
If she wasn’t my little sister, she would definitely have something to do with Xu Jiajun!
But with everyone in the hall watching, and it being a tense moment, Sun Quan had doubts in his heart, but had no chance to confirm.
Because what these two counselors said is not completely unreasonable.
Seeing that Sun Quan's anger had dissipated a lot, Mrs. Gan kept up her efforts and continued to persuade Sun Shangxiang to make a choice in person.
"Actually, the leader of my family also has two sworn brothers..."
Mrs. Gan suddenly dropped another bombshell.
Foster brother?
That is naturally closer and more reliable than Zhao Bei!
It was rare for Sun Quan's eyes to light up.
Mrs. Gan suppressed her guilty conscience and truthfully explained the strengths and talents of the two young men, A Jian and Daniel, but did not mention their ages.
When Sun Quan heard this, he immediately became excited!
One is a young talent who was raised by Wang Pingping since he was a child. He is good at both civil and military skills and has a deep relationship with the leader of the Xu family.
One is a prince of Xianbei with outstanding appearance, noble blood, and close contact with the Xu family army. He will be the heir of Xianbei in the future.
No matter which one of these two, they look ten thousand times better than Zhao Bei!
"With such two outstanding young masters, why didn't Ambassador Xu tell them before? Are we talking about them now?" Sun Quan asked displeasedly.
He felt that Xu Jiajun looked down on others, so he hid it.
Xu Mei smiled faintly, "It's not that I don't want to say it, but these young boys are not yet 18."
"What can't be said if you are under eighteen?" Sun Quan was puzzled.
Xu Mei explained: "According to the rules of our Xu family, a girl must be 16 years old and a boy must be 18 years old to get married."
"Violators will be killed!"
The word "kill" was spoken so coldly by Xu Mei, and everyone in the palace felt a chill in their hearts.
This Xu Jiajun’s rules are really strange!
After hearing this explanation, Sun Quan suddenly became less angry.
Turning to look at the aggrieved girl Sun Shangxiang, I suddenly felt that what the two counselors just said was right.
The girl is still young, so she can choose slowly.
However, choices are choices, and the matter of marriage cannot be delayed any longer.
Mrs. Gan came here to solve this problem.
Delay is also one of Xu Jiajun's plans.
Two years later, we still don’t know who will make the final decision in Jiangdong.
It doesn't matter if you are under the age. Our Xu Jiajun only said that you cannot get married if you are under the age, but we did not say that you cannot get engaged.
Now Miss Sun has not decided on her marriage partner, but our Xu Jiajun can first give the betrothal gift to the lucky man selected by Miss Sun.
Twelve boxes were unloaded from the carriage by Xu Jiajun soldiers and carried to the main hall.
Mrs. Gan also took out the engagement letter written by the leader himself.
Sun Shangxiang's name was written in the engagement letter, but Nanfang's name had not yet been filled in. When Sun Shangxiang found the person he liked, he just wrote it in.
Under the engagement letter, the appendix contains the contents of the twelve betrothal gifts.
A box of various water power transformation drawings such as waterwheels, rice pounders, and building boats.
Two boxes of potatoes, tomatoes and beet seeds.
Two boxes of colorful glass vases.
Four boxes of fine jacquard cotton silk.
Twelve electronic watches.
A box of precious medicines.
A box of unique classics.
A box of instant noodles.
Mrs. Gan finished reading the list, opened the box, and asked Zhou Yu and others to come over to check. After confirming that it was correct, she handed the engagement letter to Sun Quan.
"If the general has no objection, then just sign on the paper, and the marriage between the two families will be settled."
Sun Quan looked at the list, then at the twelve boxes, and swallowed secretly.
He is greedy, really greedy!
He couldn't refuse these things sent by Xu Jiajun!
Not to mention the dizzying jacquard silk and glass vase, there are also those medicine classics and various new seeds. Taking out any one of them can make Soochow's strength even higher.
Not to mention those mechanical drawings driven by water power.
There is not a lot of anything in Soochow, but there is a lot of water.
He had long heard that the textile cars of the Xu Jiajun Textile Factory were all driven by water power and were very fast, dozens of times faster than manual work.
If such efficiency were put into his weaving house in Soochow, it would be a steady stream of wealth.
Mrs. Gan also said thoughtfully: "It may be difficult to manufacture these technical things just by looking at the drawings. Our leader also said that if Soochow needs it, she can also send agricultural and engineering experts to provide guidance for you.
.”
Sun Quan was overjoyed: "Then this can't be better!"
Mrs. Gan smiled softly and pointed to the engagement letter, "In that case, General, please sign it."
Sun Quan nodded, took the pen and paper, and quickly wrote his name on the engagement letter.
Sun Shangxiang, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief.
There are still two years until she turns 16. These two years are her opportunity to become stronger and she must seize it tightly.
Otherwise, we can only accept the arrangement of fate and become a pawn in marriage.
Xu Jiajun was really willing to give him so much as a betrothal gift.
She never knew that she was so valuable.
Not only Sun Shangxiang was surprised by the betrothal gift, but even Sun Quan felt a little guilty for taking such a large betrothal gift.
He handed the written engagement letter to Mrs. Gan, raised his head and looked at Xu Mei and Zhuge Liang standing behind her, catching a glimpse of the expectations and hints in their eyes.
Taking a deep breath, with a stroke of a pen, he allocated an army of 50,000 to help my sister's future husband's family defeat Cao Cao!
Xu Mei: So stingy!
Sun Quan got up and took his sister with him, carrying twelve boxes of betrothal gifts, and escaped temporarily to urinate.
In my heart, it’s only 50,000 yuan. If you want love or not, there won’t be any more!
Xu Mei and Mrs. Gan looked at each other and realized that something was better than nothing. They felt happy in their hearts and escaped with expressionless expressions. They left the hall hand in hand and told the leader Xu Yue the good news.
When the news reached Xuzhou, Cao De suffered from a splitting headache. In front of the civil and military officials of the court, he fell upside down and fainted in the main hall.
"Call the doctor quickly! Call the doctor quickly!"
Emperor Heng shouted loudly, his whole body trembling with anxiety and his eyes red.
I don't know, but he thinks he is worried about the Prime Minister.
You know, you can tell at a glance that he wishes Cao De would die right now.
Sima Fang tried his best to reduce his presence, thinking about Cao's Pills.
