In Wujun, Yangzhou, a yellow dragon emerges from the well.
"Peng~~"
The arrow was accurately thrown into the tube in the distance.
Sun Jian couldn't help but clapped his hands and shouted: "Haha, hit!"
This is the Taiwei Mansion. Since the position of Taiwei became vacant, the once bustling Taiwei Mansion has become so deserted, especially after the children grew up one by one and each had their own families.
With his own mansion, even Sun Jian's youngest child has now gone to Yizhou to serve as the county magistrate. Sun Jian is the only one left in this large mansion.
Fortunately, Liu Bei often came to visit him. The two of them chatted in this courtyard, chatting about the past and the future of the big man. Occasionally they would play games like they did when they were young. They lived a leisurely life.
It is their favorite game. They take turns throwing ten arrows and hit the arrows. The one who hits more arrows will be the winner.
However, this time, Liu Bei won. This was not the first time. Liu Bei made six shots, but Sun Jian only made two. Liu Bei occasionally had to give way to this stubborn old man, otherwise, he would
If you lose, you have to play again, and you will never give up easily. Sun Jian is too old, and his trembling body can hit two or three shots, which is very impressive.
Seeing Sun Jian's triumphant look, Liu Bei couldn't help laughing and scolding: "I made six shots!"
"What? You have a tumor on your head?" Sun Jian turned around, stared at Liu Bei's head carefully, shook his head and said: "I didn't see any tumor, you, you have to make excuses when you lose, you
look at you..."
"What a tumor, I said I won!"
"The rain has stopped?" Sun Jian raised his head and looked at the sky with a suspicious look on his face, "No, it's not raining at all?"
Liu Bei's face turned red and he could only shout louder: "I said I won!!!"
Hearing this cry, Sun Jian trembled all over and said angrily: "If you win, you win. Why are you shouting so loudly? You just won once. You are so many years younger than me. What's the point of being proud of winning?"
Huh? You are so arrogant after winning, you want to let all Luoyang know? You need to be more humble!!" Liu Bei sighed, with a look of helplessness on his face, and did not speak again. This guy became more and more deaf.
Seriously, I don’t even want to look for him anymore.
"One more round?" Sun Jian couldn't help but ask.
Liu Bei didn't speak, just shook his head.
Sun Jian was angry when he saw that he didn't want to play anymore. He walked forward tremblingly, slowly bent down and picked up the arrows on the ground. He was still muttering in his mouth, of course he was secretly cursing.
Liu Bei, however, probably couldn't feel it himself. Liu Bei could completely hear his mumblings, and Liu Bei looked at him helplessly.
"If I were ten years younger...just like you...hehe, when I was young...cough cough cough...when I was young, I was called the Jiangdong Tiger...just like this, I have one hand
I can strangle them both to death, but I will quibble when I lose, and I will be so arrogant when I win. I should have joined forces with Cao Cao to kill this guy, but now it’s okay. Take advantage of my old age and openly bully me... No, wait until the son-in-law comes,
I have to take revenge..."
Sun Jian muttered, and in front of Liu Bei, he talked about his many revenge measures against Liu Bei. Liu Bei just looked at him, with no anger in his heart, but full of bitterness and some pity. He walked forward and said,
He also helped clean it up, and the two of them sat on the chairs. Liu Bei looked at his slow speed and sighed. He had said it several times in the past few days, but he couldn't persuade this stubborn old man.
He just refused to use crutches, and it was obvious that he would be unable to walk.
Sitting on the chairs, the two of them enjoyed the gentle sunshine comfortably.
"How are they doing?" Sun Jian asked lazily.
Liu Bei knew who he was asking, so he smiled and said, "It's still the same."
"What? Holding a child? No, how long have they been married? Why did they hold a child? My father-in-law, there must be a misunderstanding here!" Sun Jian looked confused.
“They are all very nice!”
“The child is quite tall??”
“I said they were good!!!”
"Okay, just say yes, why are you trying to scare me? It's a child and a mouse..." Sun Jian glanced at Liu Bei displeased and continued to curse.
Liu Bei took a deep breath, raised his head, and looked at the sky.
"Actually, you are doing quite well now. You can't hear the noise, so you won't be worried, especially you don't have to listen to the children's complaints and quarrels... You can also enjoy your old age in peace. This is a blessing from God.
..", Liu Bei whispered. Sun Jian, who was sitting in front of him, showed no reaction at all. It was obvious that he could not hear his words at all. Liu Bei smiled and said: "I really envy you."
"What? Do you admire me? When did you get into the habits of those imperial students! You are the ones who are about to have grandchildren!"
"Cao Cao's children are great, and so are yours. But I can't compare to the two of you in terms of teaching children."
"You still have a brother?"
"My children, I'm afraid they won't be able to inherit my reputation in this life, and they can only settle down and be businessmen."
"You think it's a bit abrupt now? That's no nonsense. One moment you say you admire me, and the next moment you say you have a brother, how can that be unobtrusive?"
The words of the two people were completely inconsistent. However, both sides ignored each other and just talked about their own words. It has to be said that Liu Bei slowly talked about his thoughts over the years, and many of his undisclosed thoughts were the same.
As soon as I told Sun Jian, he felt much more relaxed, and his whole body became clear, as if he had dropped a huge boulder he was carrying.
However, the way Sun Jian looked at Liu Bei became more and more complex, and he was even reluctant to look at his face.
In the evening, Liu Bei saw that it was getting late, so he stood up slowly, bowed to Sun Jian, and said loudly: "Thank you Wentai for listening to what I have to say, then I will leave!!!" Sun Jian said loudly:
He was stunned, thought for a moment, and then nodded and said: "Then go back. If you don't go back, the kids will be anxious..."
"They have all moved away, so why would they care?"
"What? Are they still naughty? How old are they..."
"Hahahaha~~", Liu Bei laughed, bowed to Sun Jian, turned around and left.
"Xuande!" Sun Jian suddenly shouted. Liu Bei stopped and looked at Sun Jian. Sun Jian said with a smile: "Come back tomorrow and let's have a good competition! Today won't count!"
"good!!"
Liu Bei left, and Sun Jian sat alone in the courtyard, waiting quietly, occasionally talking to himself, his words a little unclear, and the servants not far away could not understand what he was talking about. He sat like this until dark
At that time, a slave helped him and wanted to take him back to the house. However, the old man was cursing and refused to let the slave support him, but he himself could not walk or even stand up, which made the slaves also
Difficult.
Until someone went out and invited Sun Quan over.
"Father, why don't you let anyone help you... Oh, let's go..." Sun Quan hurriedly entered the hospital. This was not the first time. Sun Jian was always losing his temper recently.
He lost his temper for no reason and had a temper like a naughty boy. Sun Quan even felt that his eldest nephew was more obedient than the old man. When he saw Sun Quan coming to support him, the old man smiled.
"Your brother?"
"He is training in the army!!! He can't go home!!"
"Where is your third brother?"
"He is studying military science!! Have you forgotten?!!"
"What about your fourth and fifth brothers?"
"The fourth brother is in Liangzhou!!! The fifth brother is in Yizhou!!"
"My daughter..."
Sun Quan ignored him and allowed the old man to inquire about his children and grandchildren. He took the old man back to the house and asked his servants to bring some food. Sun Jian sat on the bed, holding the bowl of rice, and looked at Sun Quan in front of him.
He didn't eat either. Sun Quan felt helpless and said, "Father! There's something else going on in my house! You should hurry up and eat!!" When Sun Jian heard this, his eyes widened and he asked, "What's going on?"
"Just tell me and I can help you."
Sun Quan frowned and did not speak. The promotion and downgrade of officials in the 13th year of Yankang will be completed within this month. Sun Quan is now half exhausted.
"I haven't seen your brother for a long time...and Shao'er, they haven't come to see me recently...I miss them..." Sun Jian babbled and ate his food again, while Sun Quan sat quietly.
In front of him, Sun Jian raised his head and asked with a smile: "Would you like to take a bite too?"
"I won't eat!!!" Sun Quan's voice rose a little higher. Sun Jian trembled all over and lowered his head in aggrieved manner. He continued to eat the food without saying anything. Looking at the old man's appearance, Sun Quan felt a little guilty and said quickly:
"Tomorrow, I'll ask them to come see you!! I'll write them a letter!!"
"How about... you stay?" Sun Jian asked cautiously.
"Father, I'm really too busy. That's it. I'll stay with you in two days. Tomorrow, I'll ask Shao'er, elder brother, third brother, and little sister to come.
, let’s get together and have a meal..." Sun Quan said, but Sun Jian smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay, that’s it, let them all come, they have to come.
..."
"Okay, Father...I'm leaving then!"
"How about... you just stay."
Sun Quan left the Taiwei's Mansion. It was extremely quiet in the Taiwei's Mansion. Sun Jian lay on the bed happily, "Tomorrow is coming...Tomorrow is coming..." He seemed to be too happy to sleep, and murmured to himself
As he spoke, with a happy smile on his face, he slowly fell asleep.
Next day, early morning
Sun Quan sighed and walked out of the study. The whole day's hard work made him a little unbearable. There were more and more officials in the world. The official government could not directly decide on promotion. It needed to make a list for each position.
Several more people must be selected and handed over to the minister. As a servant of the official government, he needs to personally watch all the lists and conduct strict interrogations. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, all the responsibility will fall on his head.
.
"Pushe!! Sun Pushe!! Pushe!!"
Hearing an exclamation, Sun Quan's subordinates stumbled into the backyard with hurried expressions, and happened to meet Sun Quan head-on as he came out of the study.
"Why are you panicking? What happened?"
"Mr. Taiwei...Mr. Taiwei...could not wake up in the morning..." the official said tremblingly.
