"Mr. Taiwei, my son is good at everything, but he has no intention of pursuing an official career. He just enjoys studying at home, writing books, etc. Alas, I can't help him, but he is still good at reading. , I have been studying the classics... I have to get the honorific title for everything..." Liu Bei secretly looked at Sun Jian's expression from time to time and whispered.
"Hey! That's good. It's great to not be greedy for fame and concentrate on studying poetry and books..." Sun Jian actually praised him happily. Hearing Sun Jian's words, Liu Bei was a little confused. That's not right. Sun Taiwei has always He couldn't get along with himself and had an irritable personality. When had he ever seen him praise others so much? Liu Bei paused and then said: "As for me, I want to be my in-laws with the Taiwei. I wonder how the Taiwei feels about it?"
Sun Jian almost laughed out loud, but he still held it back, frowned, and said: "Since Xuande has told me the truth, I won't hide it anymore. My daughter doesn't like reading very much and has a bad temper." He is one of the most virtuous people in a million, but he doesn’t like reading very much... he has no knowledge..."
"Mr. Taiwei, what does this mean? As long as a woman can manage the household, assist her husband, and educate her children, isn't that enough? Mr. Taiwei's requirements for his children are still too strict. No wonder, too There are many talented people in the Wei Mansion!" Liu Bei said. Sun Jian was very happy to hear this. He stroked his beard and said: "Liu Gong has been praised too much..."
"What does Prince Taiwei mean?" Liu Bei asked cautiously.
To be honest, Sun Jian was really happy when he saw Liu Bei being so groveling. If he hadn't been worried about his daughter's marriage, he might have used this matter to make a good show in front of Liu Bei and humiliate Liu Bei. After a pause, but after thinking about it, I decided to forget it. What would happen if Liu Bei was so angry that he refused to let his son marry his daughter?
Sun Jian frowned and said slowly: "If it were anyone else, I would have beaten him out by now. However, Sikong and my Sun family are well matched. Sikong came here in person to talk about this matter. Well, I can't Objection..." Liu Bei was overjoyed, but Sun Jian continued: "However, I only have a daughter, you still have to let your son come to my house and let me have a good look at it."
Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Okay, I will ask him to come to see you tomorrow... no, later."
"Well, that's it. If he is as Liu Gong said, the marriage will start to be arranged..." Sun Jian said. Liu Bei was even more happy when he heard about it. For the sake of his own children, Liu Bei told Sun Jian He was also very respectful, and Sun Jian was very impressed. The two chatted for a long time, and Sun Jian happily asked his servants to call his sons over.
Sun Ce, Sun Quan, and Sun Kuang came and paid homage to Liu Bei, then stood aside.
Liu Bei seemed very enthusiastic and started chatting with them, "Bo Fu? Aren't you in the Southern Army? Why are you still at home?" Sun Ce respectfully replied: "Back to my uncle, my father is not in good health. Zhang The general then allowed me to go home, and the school is not far away... I will stay in the mansion during my free time..." Liu Bei nodded and chatted with him about the Confederate Army.
After a long time, Liu Bei said goodbye and left.
Sun Jian even wanted to get up and see him off in person. Seeing the two of them saying goodbye with a smile, Sun Ce was a little confused.
"Father, don't you and Sikong have some..."
"Ahem, that's all in the past. Don't mention this. Don't leave. Just stay here. Someone will come later. Please stay with me and meet... "
"Who will come? Do we need all three of us to be present?" Sun Kuang asked first. Obviously, Sun Ce and Sun Quan were also very curious. Sun Jian said slowly: "It's Liu Bei's son Liu Chan."
"Ha..." Sun Kuang suddenly became a little irritable, and he said: "Father, that fool Liu Chan?? I have some grudges with him, and we haven't settled them yet. What is he doing here? He wants me to beat him up. Will he stop?" The relationship between Sun Kuang and Luoyang Sanzhi was very bad. Sun Jian glanced at him coldly and then said: "He will become my son-in-law and your brother-in-law..."
"Father! How could he do this?!" Sun Kuang heard this and immediately shouted angrily.
"Shut up. When he comes later, you will be worthy of me to take a look. If it is suitable, the past grudges are not allowed to be mentioned again. You still have to take care of him. But if it is not suitable, what grudges do you have with him? , Just take revenge..." Sun Jian said impatiently. Sun Kuang wanted to speak, but Sun Ce stopped him. Recently, his old man's temper has not been very good. It is best to listen to him and don't do anything. provoke.
Otherwise, if it makes him angry, he will ignore the age of these sons and beat them whenever he wants.
Sun Jian closed his eyes, wondering what he was thinking, while Sun Ce and the others started chatting in low voices.
"Brother, that guy can never be our brother-in-law! That guy is morally corrupt and a fool. He is a famous fool in Luoyang! How can he be worthy?" Sun Kuang said angrily.
Sun Ce frowned and asked, "Tell your father these words."
"Father? He doesn't listen to me at all. Brother, you should come and persuade me..."
"Shut up!" Sun Quan reprimanded him rudely. Sun Kuang immediately didn't dare to speak. Among the children in the Sun family, the one who could control everyone the most was his second brother Sun Quan. This was something Sun Ce had never done before. After all, Sun Ce is cheerful and humorous, and he is very tolerant and gentle towards his younger brothers. However, Sun Quan is different. He is a bit stricter than Sun Ce.
Sun Quan looked at Sun Ce and said: "Brother, don't worry, Liu Chan, I also know, it is just right for my little sister."
"Oh? How is he?"
"He is timid, has no talent, and is weak..." Sun Quan said calmly, but Sun Ce's eyes widened and he said angrily: "You think such a person is a good match for my little sister?!" The elder brother was about to be beaten violently, so Sun Quan said: "Brother, my father must have thought about it. You are not unaware of my little sister's temper. If you meet a strong husband, there will definitely be disharmony in the family... .”
"Either the husband and wife are quarreling, or the younger sister is beaten and humiliated. No matter how fierce the younger sister is, she is just a prostitute. How can she be worthy of a man?"
"Therefore, wouldn't it be appropriate to find someone who is cowardly, timid, has no talent, and is obedient? There will be no quarrels after marriage, and he will indulge my little sister in everything..." Sun Quan whispered, Sun Ce thought for a long time, and it seemed that this was the truth. He did not speak, but Sun Kuang on the side sneered and said: "Even if you marry someone else, who dares to bully my little sister? She has four brothers..."
Sun Quan glanced at him coldly, called him an idiot, ignored him, and turned around to leave.
Sun Kuang was a little angry and didn't dare to vent. He lowered his head and muttered something. Sun Ce walked up to him, patted his shoulder, and then said: "You, think about the good news, you and him Isn't it just revenge to marry your little sister to him because of a festival? Think about your little sister's temper, hahaha, if they get married, this kid will suffer a lot..."
When Sun Kuang heard this, he said, "Hey, that's right. I want to take revenge. I just need to give instructions to my little sister. No, I don't even need to give instructions. He will be fine. Yesterday, I saw her chasing a man on the street. A big dog half as tall as a man chases and beats him... That guy's temperament is like that of a rat, let alone a dog. I have had issues with three of them before, and I have personally checked, and he has suffered a lot. ..”
Thinking of this, Sun Kuang couldn't help but laugh.
At this time, Liu Bei had already returned to his mansion in a hurry.
"Where is Chan'er?" Liu Bei rushed into the study, looked at the empty study, and asked in a panic. When he learned that he had just gone out and had not returned home, Liu Bei quickly asked his servants to look for him. In less than half an hour, Liu Chan came Surrounded by a group of slaves, he entered the courtyard with a nervous look on his face. As soon as he entered the courtyard, Liu Chan started crying, "Father! My dad!! What's wrong with you?!"
Wiping his tears, he entered the inner room and the crying suddenly stopped. Liu Bei sat on the bed with a gloomy face and looked at him coldly.
"Crying for me?"
"Father? Are you okay?"
"Bastard! I'll kill you..." Liu Bei just waved his hand, but then he remembered what happened with Sun Jian. He endured the anger in his heart, took a deep breath, and calmed himself down, "Stop talking nonsense, instead Put on some decent clothes and go to the Taiwei Mansion!!"
"Ah? Going to the Taiwei's Mansion?"
"I have arranged a marriage for you, the daughter of Taiwei Sun's family. Now go over and meet Mr. Taiwei."
Liu Chan looked confused and was stunned for a long time before asking: "What?"
"Go to the Taiwei's Mansion!!" Liu Bei roared.
Liu Chan was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground. What happened? Marriage? Taiwei??
"Father...isn't it a little early...I'm still young...I..."
"Come here, help him change his clothes, put him into the carriage, take him to the Taiwei's Mansion, and throw him into the manor!" Liu Bei ordered, and several servants immediately came up, grabbed Liu Chan and walked out, Liu Chan howled. He shouted, but no one paid attention to him. Liu Bei quickly asked people to prepare the carriage. After a while, the servants forced Liu Chan into the carriage.
Liu Bei also got into the carriage and grabbed Liu Chan's neck.
"Let me tell you, I personally asked for this marriage. I have heard about the virtuous and decent daughter of Taiwei Sun. This time, you must satisfy Mr. Taiwei and make him accept you. , If he doesn’t agree, hahaha..." Liu Bei sneered, looking at the frightened Liu Chan in front of him, he looked at the groom in front and shouted: "Quickly leave!"
Sitting in the carriage, Liu Chan remained silent. To be honest, in his heart, he really didn't want to start a family so hastily. He said that the woman was virtuous and decent, but what if she was as tough as her father? People of my father's generation don't care about this, but I do. No, I have to make it impossible for Duke Taiwei to accept me.
Well, as soon as Taiwei Gong became a warrior, he behaved more cowardly and timidly. I believe he would be disgusted and would not allow me to be his son-in-law!
