Zhou Yu's apology letter was delivered to Xiaozhulou, while Zhou Yu stood outside anxiously pacing back and forth, looking a little anxious.
The pottery merchant stood behind him, looking at Zhou Yu's expression, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Even though he is one of the few resourceful people in the world, he is still in the youth period where he is in love with his concubine and his hormones are running high. Sometimes he does things that even he himself would not understand.
Everyone has seven emotions and six desires, and no matter how wise a wise man is, he cannot escape this curse.
When I was young, I saw Huaxiong walking out of the small building with great energy.
When Zhou Yu saw Hua's bearish appearance, his face turned pale with shock and he took three steps back in succession.
The pottery merchant was not in a hurry. He quietly winked at Hua and asked pretendingly: "How is it? Has Sister Qiao seen Zhou Gongjin's letter of apology?"
Hua nodded vigorously and said: "Wow hahaha! Of course I saw it."
Hua stretched out her hand, handed a scroll of slips to Zhou Yu, and said, "This is my sister Qiao's reply."
Zhou Yu took the slip anxiously, but saw that the beautiful words on it were written in the style of a family letter. Although it meant to blame Zhou Yu, it also left some forgiveness.
Zhou Yu relaxed his mind and thought for a long time, then said goodbye to the pottery merchant and returned with the letter in hand.
The potter didn't stop him either.
He knew what Zhou Yu wanted to do, but he just went back to think about how to reply to the letter.
…
That night, the pottery merchant came to Qiaoyi and Qiaoyun's room.
The flowers were there too, and there happened to be many letters inside that Zhou Yu dragged her in.
The pottery merchant picked up the letters and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"This kid Zhou Yu looks so sanctimonious... I didn't expect that the love letter he wrote would be so explicit. It's so shameless."
How could Qiao Yun know how to deal with Zhou Yu's messy things without being a human being?
Since it was the pottery merchant who tricked Zhou Yu into taking the bait, he had to personally answer these letters for Qiao Yun.
But during the day today, the half-forgiveness letter that Qiao Yun sent back to Zhou Yu, which she wanted to refuse to exchange, was actually a preparatory handwriting written by the potter the night before.
If Zhou Yu knew that he had become the potter's pen pal, I don't know what his expression would be.
Will he replenish his supplies and then jump off a building to commit suicide?
The pottery merchant immediately replied to Zhou Yu's letter under the watchful eyes of Qiaoyun, Qiaoyi and Hua.
At first, the three girls were curious and stood behind the pottery merchant, watching eagerly...
But as time went by, they couldn't help but start getting goosebumps all over their bodies.
The potter’s letter is so exciting!
The excitement was so numb that the three women's faces turned red. After a while, they couldn't bear to look directly at it, and they all turned away.
The content this time is too disgusting!
I originally thought that Zhou Yu was disgusting enough, but I never thought that Prince Taiping was even more effeminate than him.
Little words about love, love, love, one after another, I wrote for an hour and there was almost no repetition.
When I was young, I saw Tao Ying coming to take the flowers back.
He curiously read the reply written by the pottery merchant and almost vomited it on the spot.
"Brother! Don't you feel a little guilty in your heart when you write such a disgusting reply to a man?" Tao Ying resisted the urge to sigh and asked Tao Shangdao.
Tao Shang sighed and said, "I can't help it. Isn't this just to get Zhou Yu's things?"
Tao Ying was surprised when he heard this and said: "What are you wearing?"
While replying to the letter, Tao Shang said calmly: "Zhou Yu came to the land of Baiyue just to make friends with the leaders of Baiyue, so that he can use them as help in the future to seek the land in the south. We are now allies with Sun Ce. His actions like this , it is not convenient for me to directly block it, and this move seems stingy... Now I might as well take advantage of this and ask Zhou Yu to borrow two things. One is the music score of Changhe Yin, and the other is Zhou Yu's family font. As long as I have Zhou Yu's With these two things, I can disrupt Sun Ce's plan, force Zhou Yu to return to Lujiang County obediently, and assist Sun Ce with peace of mind, either to attack Jiangxia or Jingnan, or to attack Nanhai County or Cangwu County. Don’t have some bad dreams here that you shouldn’t have.”
Hearing this, Tao Ying nodded with half-understanding, and said curiously: "I can somewhat understand what you want it to do with the music score of Chang He Yin... What do you want it to do with Zhou Yu's font?"
The pottery merchant smiled slightly and did not explain to Tao Ying.
High-level political figures in this era generally hold two fonts.
One type is a font used for official business. It is used for external use and is relatively neat. It has no sharp edges and most of them come from the same origin and are often similar.
But the font of family letters is different. They are all written for the people closest to them. They are rarely seen by outsiders and generally will not be shown to unfamiliar people.
Tao Shang personally acted as Zhou Yu's pen pal in order to break through Zhou Yu's psychological defense line through his "romantic offensive" and invisibly attach "himself" to Zhou Yu's subconscious relatives, and transfer his fonts to Zhou Yu's subconscious relatives. Get it into your hands.
I just hope Zhou Yu doesn't fall in love with me.
Tao Ying looked at the letters that the potter had written and marked them in order of reply. Then he looked at the poems above and couldn't help but admire them.
Although the two men flirting with each other and communicating through letters was quite disgusting, Tao Ying had to admit that the eldest brother's writing was still very good.
But looking at the poem above, it’s very eye-catching:
"The crowd looked for him thousands of times, but suddenly I looked back and found that man in a dimly lit place."
"As time goes by, love never ends. The heart is like a double mesh with thousands of knots in it."
"I live at the head of the Yangtze River, and you live at the end of the Yangtze River. I miss you every day and never see you, but we drink from the same river together."
Until Tao Ying saw the sentence "Ask the world what love is, and it will tell you whether life and death are together."...
"Ouch!" Tao Ying could no longer control his emotions, covered his mouth and ran out as hard as he could.
The potter frowned and looked at his back. Listening to the sound of retching, he muttered dissatisfiedly: "It's just a few lies, so what?"
But when he thought about who he was writing these words to, the pottery merchant couldn't bear it anymore, and his stomach was churning.
…
In the next few days, Tao Shang wrote letters to Zhou Yu, which made Zhou Yu fascinated. He almost fell into madness for this "beautiful pen pal". Slowly, even the font style changed completely. Used Jia calligraphy instead.
Hearing from his pen pal that he likes ancient music, Zhou Yu actually even asked for flowers and gifted him with the sheet music of Chang He Yin.
In his heart, he thought that everything he gave was Xiaoqiao, but he didn't know that Xiaoqiao had never even seen the countless love expressed in his letter.
The pottery merchant accepted them all according to the order.
A few days later, spies who went deep into the Baiyue land brought back information. Several more Baiyue masters were willing to meet Zhou Yu after communicating with them.
Although he was very reluctant to leave, Zhou Yu knew that business was still more important.
At the moment, his pen pal Xiaoqiao still hasn't shown up and has never seen him.
In desperation, Zhou Yu had no choice but to write a book, bid farewell to his beloved pen pal, then said goodbye to the pottery merchant and the three Hanyue kings, and led his people to continue southward.
But as soon as Zhou Yu left, the pottery merchant immediately began to implement his plan.
He asked people to feast on Zhou Yu's writings, and sent Tao Ying to search for luther players in the counties of Yuzhang, quickly study the music score of Changhe Yin, and gave them some confidential tasks.
After finishing these things, the pottery merchant also said goodbye to King Hanyue, continued to be hard to find, and prepared to return to Nanchang City.
Before leaving, Gou Yi, King of Yue in Jiangdu, told the pottery merchant something that shocked him quite a bit.
According to the King of Yue in Jiangdu, in the southern border fortress, some time ago, some bandits were robbing homes and houses, but they were driven away by their own side. At that time, he joined several surrounding Yue village leaders to jointly suppress the bandits, but
However, some people discovered that those bandits were actually some of Yuan Shu's remnants of soldiers left in the southern border after the Battle of Nanchang, and some people recognized that the general leading them was actually Qiao Rui, an old general under Yuan Shu's account.
Upon hearing this, the pottery merchant was quite surprised.
Qiao Rui is Er Qiao's biological father. He disappeared after the defeat. He thought he had died long ago, but he unexpectedly ended up living in the south.
However, we don’t know whether this matter is true or not, and it is not convenient for the pottery merchant to tell Erqiao at the moment.
After careful consideration, he handed over the task of finding the person to Tao Ying and asked him to carefully and secretly send people to investigate. Once there is news, he can inform himself at any time.
Later, the pottery merchant and his party returned to Nanchang City after inspecting the Baiyue Land in the south.
There is no need to worry about Zhou Yu's affairs. His own little plan is enough to make things impossible for him.
What needs to be done now is to go back and hold the coronation ceremony and support Liu Xi on the throne as emperor.
…
After arriving in Nanchang City, news came back from the southern border that Zhou Yu's communication with Baiyue in the southern border was extremely unsatisfactory.
First, the Yue territories around the southern border were repeatedly plundered by unknown soldiers and horses, and someone also contacted a powerful man in Wuling, the barbarian king Shamoko, to kidnap some Yue people.
What makes people confused is that every time where a disaster occurs, someone can vaguely hear the singing of the long river.
This song was even heard among the Chinese troops that came to harass Samoko.
This makes people more suspicious.
Moreover, Zhou Yu's 10,000 Sun family troops who had previously been stationed across the border seemed to have received wrong orders. They suddenly launched troops into the southern border and penetrated deep into the borders of the Baiyue tribes. They had many conflicts with the local tribes and even suffered casualties.
Although it was later proven that there was something fishy about this matter, it was a misunderstanding and was not ordered by Zhou Yu, but a series of events that happened made the Baiyue tribes who had just developed some good impressions of Zhou Yu and Sun Ce disappear.
This is something that actually happened, and it cannot be wiped away by Zhou Yu's casual explanation.
Of course, Tao Shang was still sending people to quietly handle the subsequent disruptions to Zhou Yu's plans, but he did not need to worry too much about the specific operational methods and techniques.
There are people like Lu Dai, He Qi, Quan Rou, and Kan Ze in Nanchang City. Entrusting them to handle these things secretly is more efficient than the pottery merchant himself.
However, Tao Shang believed that after his plan was revealed, Zhou Yu would definitely notice it and cut off correspondence with "him".
But he really underestimated Zhou Yu's pursuit of love.
This guy is a bit romantic at heart.
No, it shouldn’t be called romance, it should be called romance.
Until these things happened, including when he returned to Nanchang City, the letters from Jinghong sent to him from afar were still one after another, at an average interval of one period, and never stopped.
