"Miss, I heard that Prince Ming has arrived and is talking to the lord in the hall. He is probably discussing the issue of Miss's marriage."
A maid said to the girl who was in a state of confusion.
The girl has bright eyes and white teeth, her eyes are full of energy, and her figure is full of lines. At first glance, she looks like someone who exercises regularly.
"Xiao Cui, if you keep talking nonsense, I will really get angry!" the girl said, glaring at the maid.
But Xiaocui knew that the lady was a good person and would never hit her. She said with a smile: "Miss, you have been talking about the Prime Minister since you came back from Xuzhou. Why are you not happy now that he is here?"
"I was...I was doing it to defeat him. I, Jiangdong, will do my part. What do you know?" the girl said innocently.
The maid did not dare to further add fuel to the fire and asked in a low voice: "Miss, what should you do now? My lord has convinced the madam to marry you to Prince Ming."
The girl snorted coldly, picked up her beloved rapier from the table, and said, "I don't want to marry him. He wants to marry me. He asked my sword first if he would agree!"
Even though she said this, the girl still remembered the scene when she met Jiang Siming in Xuzhou.
At that time, she deliberately poured water on Jiang Siming, but was stopped by his guards. If Jiang Siming hadn't been careless, she might have been imprisoned.
After she came back, she practiced kung fu hard, hoping to one day defeat Jiang Siming and his men, and create a great cause for her brother.
But now, her brother wants to marry her to Jiang Siming.
For a moment, the girl had a complicated mood and could only hold the sword tightly in her hand.
....
In the hall on the other side, Jiang Siming and Sun Quan had already started to exchange cups and cups, chatting and laughing happily.
Sun Quan, who had deceived Jiang Siming into Jianye, was now confident of victory. Just now Zhou Yu secretly told him that Jiangdong's heavy troops were on their way.
In a few days, we will arrive in Jianye.
At that time, not even a fly can fly out. As long as Jiang Siming cannot go back, Chang'an will definitely be in chaos.
When the time came to ask them for money and food for the city, he didn't believe those people dared not agree.
"My dear nephew, I wonder when the matter between your sister and I will be settled. I can't wait too long." Jiang Siming asked while eating the banquet.
Sun Quan smiled and said: "Don't be anxious, King Ming. Since ancient times, weddings have been subject to etiquette. As the saying goes, a marriage takes one year for the king, half a year for the prince, one season for the doctor, and one month for the people. King Ming is the king.
No matter what, you have to prepare for a year and a half before getting married."
"What a joke! You want my lord to stay in Jiangdong for a year. Why didn't you tell me earlier that we would come back in a year?" Dian Wei said angrily.
Sun Quan smiled and explained: "I just heard what my mother said. You should all know that my mother's temperament is decided by me and I can't interfere."
Jiang Siming took a sip of wine and said: "Gu's wife can only marry a princess for five days at most. In Gu's opinion, the marriage code should also be changed. It's complicated and complicated, so it's best to keep it simple, so my nephew, Gu Ke
Can’t wait a year.”
"This..." Sun Quan opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
Zhou Yu came out and said for Sun Quan: "Since King Ming thinks it is better to be simple, then I will follow King Ming. Five days, what do you think?"
"That's very good." Jiang Siming naturally had no objection. Of course he could afford to wait for five days.
After the banquet was over, Jiang Siming was sent to stay in a luxurious mansion temporarily. When the guests dispersed, Sun Quan called Zhou Yu over.
"What's the matter with you? Why did you promise him five days?" Sun Quan asked angrily.
Zhou Yu smiled and said proudly: "Master, don't be anxious. I just agreed to stabilize him. I said it would be five days. When our troops arrive in Jianye, shouldn't we be able to delay it as long as we want?"
"My lord can then find any reasons at will. For example, Shang Xiang cannot leave his wife and wants to stay for a few more days. Another example is that his wife is sick and needs Shang Xiang's care. With all these reasons, even if Jiang Bei wanted to argue, he would not have the chance to open his mouth."
When Sun Quan heard this, he thought it was reasonable and continued happily dreaming of the dream of unifying the world.
Zhou Yu looked at the sky with a sneer and said to himself: "Jiang Bei, you humiliated me and took away my beloved, but now you have become my turtle in the urn, let's see how proud you are!"
Jiang Siming stayed in Jianye for the time being, and Sun Quan cooperated very well and began to work hard every day to decorate the wedding scene and choose auspicious days.
In short, he really wanted to marry Shang Xiang to Jiang Siming.
This is what Wu Guotai meant. He could imprison Jiang Siming in Jiangdong, but he must give Shang Xiang his status.
Otherwise, Shang Xiang may not be able to marry in the future and her reputation will be damaged.
Of course Sun Quan is willing to agree to this. As long as he can keep Jiang Siming in his hands, then sacrificing his sister doesn't matter.
His brother Sun Ce was also sacrificed by him, wasn't he?
Jiang Siming just walked around Jianye every day and waited for the wedding day. He didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
Even when he had nothing to do, he won over a large number of dandies like Lu Xun in Jianye and started a casino business.
There was no gambling during the Three Kingdoms period, and no one knew what gambling was.
So when Jiang Siming took out the Pai Gow dice, these young dudes were very curious.
Jiang Siming taught them how to play and let them place bets.
At first, these dandy boys thought it was a scam, and only Lu Xun was willing to play it.
Lu Xun was also afraid of problems, so he placed small bets every time.
But Lu Xun won every game, and after just a few games, he won dozens of taels of silver from Jiang Siming, and even one was a leopard.
"Oh, I'm so unlucky. I'll do it again."
Jiang Siming pretended to be upset and gave them all his money.
Lu Xun immediately tasted the sweetness.
I felt that I could get my revenge at the gambling table because I was so scared by Jiang Siming the day before that I almost wet my pants, that is, by winning all of Jiang Siming’s money!
Such a simple game can still make money, which is so profitable!
"Keep going, this time I want to bet a hundred taels, buy the big one!" Lu Xun placed one hundred taels on the [big].
Dianwei opened the cup, it was really big!
"Hahaha, I won again! Get the money quickly, one hundred taels!" Lu Xun's face turned red with excitement.
Jiang Siming gave him one hundred taels with a look of displeasure.
Lu Xun was so happy that the other dandy boys were also very itchy. In less than a cup of tea, Lu Xun won almost five hundred taels.
The money is so good! And the game is really interesting.
Cover the voodoo box and shake the dice. Only ghosts can trick people and bring luck to the whole screen. So why are you afraid of a bird?
Seeing Jiang Siming lose like this, he must be very unlucky, so what is there to be afraid of?
"I want to come too!"
"I'll come too, I'll bet 0 taels!"
"I bet 50 taels! Buy a small one!"
"I...."
In this way, all the dandy boys began to join in. Like Lu Xun, they were winning consecutively.
In a short time, Jiang Siming lost more than a thousand taels, which made them excited.
Betting on this kind of thing, as long as you taste the sweetness, it is extremely easy to become addicted.
