No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Chapter 1037 Sun Deng's Belonging

The Xu family didn't last long, and the Sun family held a proper funeral, just like Mrs. Xie before. Now the Xu family is not the problem, but the problem is Sun Deng's fate.

During the funeral, Sun Deng was sent to Ou Mengmeng's place. At that time, Ou Mengmeng really had no choice because Sun Deng really had nowhere to go.

Sun Deng was born in 209 AD, and he is only two years old now. Sun Deng was in a playful period. During the Chinese New Year, Ou Mengmeng played with Sun Deng. The two were familiar with each other and played for a while. Ou Mengmeng found a problem. Sun Deng did not cry for Xu at all. He preferred his wet nurse. He was also very happy when playing with Ou Mengmeng. Even when the human traffickers came, he still had the temper to open his hands. Obviously, Xu was also as distressed as those servants said!

After Xu's funeral was over, Sun Deng's whereabouts became a big issue.

After receiving Ou Mengmeng's explanation, the Xu family did not ask the man to write a letter, which shows that the Xu family is still decent. They know that they can't provoke Sun Quan. After all, there is no Xu family in the middle. Sun Quan, Xu Jiao, and Xu Zuo are still uncle and nephew, and they are really blood-related. If they provoke him, it will be troublesome.

At present, there are only two or three kittens in Sun Quan's backyard, and their backgrounds are not very good, including Sun Deng's biological mother, who died not long after Xu entered the house. Although Xu was not favored, she still had some means, and now the baby was obviously in Ou Mengmeng's hands.

There is nothing wrong with letting Ou Mengmeng raise the grandson. Although she is the one raising him, it is actually the same as Xu's. She can just mark out an area in her yard. She has her own team. She can just take a look at it when she has nothing to do and make sure the servants don't mess around. It won't be too much trouble.

But as mentioned before, although Sun Deng was a concubine's son, Sun Quan had no other sons now. Moreover, Sun Quan was nearly thirty years old and had only this one son. He was naturally as precious as a pearl! Looking at the New Year's Eve banquet, he deliberately let himself hold Sun Deng on stage. On the Lantern Festival, he also held Sun Deng to light the lanterns. All of this showed Sun Deng's status to the ministers.

Before, he didn't mind registering Sun under the name of Xu, as he was willing to give his eldest son a better background. But now, the Xu family was interested, and Sun Quan certainly couldn't agree. He couldn't let his beloved son be controlled by others! The countless painful lessons of the Han Dynasty made him have to guard against this.

Ou Mengmeng also knew the significance of Sun Deng to Sun Quan. After the Xu family's testing, she had a deeper understanding of Sun Quan.

Although Sun Quan has not yet established a country or proclaimed himself emperor, it is only a matter of time before the Sun family of Jiangdong rules the country. Now he only has one son! What's wrong with putting the future heir of the empire in her hands? The emperor will not be annoyed by his son, but he will feel that someone is deliberately trying to teach his son bad things and to sow discord between them. I am an outsider anyway, but how can Sun Lang and Sun Shangxiang bear it?
So he thought about it and sent someone to invite Sun Quan over.

Sun Quan arrived very quickly. The two of them sat in the study and asked someone to open the door while the others stood far away.

Sun Quan was very pleased with himself at this time. Xu's death was not a big deal for him. When he put Sun Deng in the old lady's arms during the Chinese New Year, he had actually made up his mind to leave his son with the old lady. Before Xu died, it was not good to stimulate the Xu family too much, so he asked the nanny beside him to take care of him. Now that Xu is dead, his son will naturally move in. Of course, he also felt that he had to have a serious talk with his mother. He really trusted the old lady now. During the Chinese New Year, the gifts sent to the Han Emperor and the princes caused a great sensation! Although the mimeographed book did not satisfy the old lady, it must be said that this was a product that transcended the times. There were even illustrations on it. Although they were all embroidered portraits with simple lines, they were already very exquisite. If Sun Quan had not seen the cast iron movable type they were preparing, he would have been amazed by the mimeographed book.

Although it was only a complete set of Er Ya, it was enough to demonstrate the strength of the Eastern Wu. They once again refreshed the perception among the various princes. This time, 30 sets were printed, all carefully packaged, and 10 sets were given away. The remaining 20 sets were placed in the school to let the students know that they printed it. This has become a national gift; the old lady, the old fifth couple, and Sun Shangxiang each had a set. This is the result of their hard work, and they must have it; Sun Quan put a set in his study to show his status; the others were hidden in the secret room, which is their national treasure. After all, this is the first set of printed books in the actual sense of history. And this book was printed by the Eastern Wu!

This set of Er Ya also announced to all the forces in the empire that not only have we made paper, we can also print books in batches. In the future, there will be more and more such books, and the price will become cheaper and cheaper. The slogan is to make books affordable for everyone in the world!

At this time, the various noble families actually thought the same as Liu Bei, the torrent of history rolled in. They were no longer able to stop it. So they turned back and decided to embrace the thigh of Dongwu. If they couldn't beat them, they would join them. At this time, Dongwu's momentum was unparalleled, how could Sun Quan not be proud. Just like the death of Xu this time, Dongwu did not make a big fuss, just like Xie's before. But the person was buried, and people from all over the country came like snowflakes, and they took this opportunity to get closer to Dongwu.

Sun Quan felt that even if he became emperor, no one would object, because he was already a figure that would go down in history. Of course, this was just a thought and he did not show it.

Knowing that his mother called him, he hurried over. He still respected his mother. After all, she brought him all these things. And who knows, she might have some more amazing ideas.

Ou Mengmeng looked at Sun Quan and thought: "What do you think of Deng'er?"

"Now that Xu is gone, Deng'er must have someone to take care of him." Sun Quan thought his mother was asking if she wanted to formally leave Sun Deng with her. "Although it troubles you, mother, I really have no one to trust. I am ashamed."

Ou Mengmeng nodded. She also knew that Sun Deng could only be left with her at the moment. She tapped her fingers lightly on the table in front of her for a while, thinking, "For the next book, I want to print "Han Shu Wudi Ji". I will use the new cast iron movable type printing technology to print it!"

"Why?" Sun Quan didn't expect the old lady to suddenly change the subject and talk about the Chronicles of Emperor Wu.

"As for me, I think Emperor Wu of Han is very interesting. Do you think he is a wise ruler? He reigned for 54 years and fought wars for 43 years. He is different from you. You have to fight. Although he fought with the spirit of China, the people in his dynasty did have a hard time." Ou Mengmeng smiled and shook her head. "Isn't it stupid for me to use this to evaluate a monarch? It's just like when you asked me when I was a kid, who was a good person and who was a bad person."

I bought another keyboard, with low-profile switches, and I also had my eye on one with magnetic switches.
