No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Chapter 1042 About Moving the Capital
The resources in the Eastern Han Dynasty were much richer than those in the Western Han Dynasty, but after so many years of war, the people were living in poverty. Even though the Sun family was considered one of the richest families of that era, it was limited by the times. What else can you think with your current level?
So even on Wu Guotai's table, the staple food and snacks were usually made of millet, wheat flour, and beans. As for seasoning, pepper was finally available.

After Ou Mengmeng turned 50, she started to love drinking porridge. When she was young, she liked porridge with sugar. Later, she would just have white porridge with some pickles and an egg on the side.

But the children's table was a normal breakfast. Although Sun Deng was only two years old, he was already very good at eating, especially after Ou Mengmeng came. As long as he was willing to do it, Ou Mengmeng would encourage him. At this time, little Sun Deng used steamed buns to wrap egg sauce and some spring vegetables to eat deliciously. He held it with both hands and ate it very seriously, which made the two brothers feel a little greedy. But he was not familiar with the old lady and his aunt, so it seemed not good to say that he wanted to eat. He just watched eagerly.

"You want to eat your own buns." Ou Mengmeng saw it and motioned for them to do it themselves. Seeing them also eating the buns with their hands, Xu and Cao couldn't help but smile, "Why, are you worried?"

"How could that be? It's a blessing for your grandchildren to be able to raise them personally." Xu said hurriedly with a smile, if only the corners of her mouth didn't twitch like that.

Children raised by their mothers alone are usually cleaner. It doesn't matter what their personality is, but their mothers pay more attention to their appearance and hygiene than male parents. Now Sun Song and Sun Tai have this feeling. It's not that they are bad, but Sun Quan can't stand it.

"The second son can let Song'er and Tai'er come over to study with Deng'er. Just kidding, I think it's a great thing. After all, when children grow up, they always need an elder like a father to teach them around." Ou Mengmeng didn't look at the two daughters-in-law. She swallowed the pickled vegetables that were crunching in her mouth and spoke slowly.

Ou Mengmeng spoke slowly. She hoped that Xu would be as smart as described in the books and could understand what she meant.

She just didn't want to talk to her daughter because she thought there was nothing to say about it. Sun Quan had made the decision, so he would execute it.

She knew very well that Sun Quan was not Jia She, who could be obedient. Another point was that if she could not educate them according to Sun Quan's ideas, she was afraid that Sun Quan would use education as an excuse to get rid of Xu and Cao. Even if he couldn't get rid of them, he could kill them.

And she was also afraid that if she couldn't handle it well, she was also afraid that when Sun Song and his family grew up, they would be like their father, leaving the child behind and they could leave. So she hoped that this could be solved now.

Now, she was telling Xu that at least Sun Quan was willing to let Sun Song, Sun Tai and Sun Deng play together. If the three of them really grew up together, as long as Sun Deng could survive to succeed to the throne, then Sun Song and Sun Tai would have a great chance of surviving. So, if they were smart enough, they would tell the children and outsiders the same thing in her words.

Sun Quan wanted to teach his nephew personally, as he felt that his nephew could not grow up in the hands of a woman.

Sun and Cao didn't look at each other. Their relationship wasn't that good, so there was really no need to discuss it. But their expressions were somewhat intriguing.

Ou Mengmeng took another mouthful of porridge, and then crunched the pickled vegetables again. It was as if she didn't notice the tangle between them at all. Because she also knew that their tangle was useless.

Xu and Cao left after breakfast, and both of them told their son and Deng'er to have fun. They also showed goodwill to Sun Deng, which was much better than when Sun Deng saluted them just now.

Sun Shangxiang's eyes were not right. She had never known that her two sisters-in-law could be like this. Her mother said something that no one believed, but she achieved her goal. Does this mean that her mother is capable, or that her two sisters-in-law are not that simple? However, it was useless. In Ou Mengmeng's opinion, this matter ended here.

The three grandchildren of the Sun family are now by Ou Mengmeng's side. What they said to the outside world was that the Queen Mother was too bored, so they let the three grandchildren take care of her. Although this would also lead to speculation, it must be said that Sun Quan was still one step ahead. It is precisely because there are so many people speculating that all parties have their own ideas.

For example, there was another theory that although Sun Deng was Quan's only son, Quan's legal wives had all passed away, so it was possible that he could have a legitimate son. Therefore, the concubines and concubines were all raised by the Queen Mother, which was Quan's attitude...

After this rumor, Cao did come once, but she left soon, and Xu never showed up from beginning to end. Now, Ou Mengmeng thinks Xu is really smart. And of course, Cao is not stupid either. In modern terms, she has a good brain but low emotional intelligence.

What does the secret fight between adults have to do with children? The relationship between the three boys is getting better and better.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhou Yu sent a letter back with two things. First, they attacked Yizhou. The officials and people of Yizhou wanted to resist the army of the Eastern Wu, but Liu Zhang opened the city and surrendered for the sake of the people. Everyone was in tears. It was a smooth solution. Zhou Yu still let Liu Zhang be the governor of Yizhou, but sent a garrison. In this way, the army and people of Yizhou felt that it was acceptable.

The second thing is that Liu Bei knew that Yizhou was lost, and he vomited blood in anger, and he was already seriously ill and could not recover. Please ask the lord and the queen mother to go to Jingzhou to inspect and visit Liu Bei. (If he died, it would be a good opportunity to mourn him.)
Ou Mengmeng looked at the letter, which was written on their stationery. Judging from the font, Zhou Yu's handwriting was also very elegant and handsome. As expected, the handwriting reflects the person, and people who love beauty will also have beautiful handwriting.

"What do you think, mother?" Sun Quan knew from his mother's expression that she was distracted and was not thinking about going to Jingzhou, but something else.

"Gongjin's handwriting is really beautiful, what do you think?" Ou Mengmeng looked at Sun Quan hurriedly.

"Mother!" Sun Quan stared at the old lady and said for a long time, "You said that other people's handwriting is beautiful."

"Okay, okay, tell me, what does Gong Jin want to do?" Ou Mengmeng smiled. She actually knew what Zhou Yu meant.

She heard that Zhang Zhao was trying to persuade Sun Quan to move the capital. Nanxu was now developing very well. Zhang Zhao was an amazing military strategist. He now had a management mindset and knew that as long as they moved to another place, the economic focus would change. Through this kind of human intervention, the infrastructure of Dongwu would slowly develop.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Wu was in Jiankang (Nanjing), but the crown prince Sun Deng stayed in Xiakou (Wuhan Wuchang) for a long time. They also built the old capital here. Because of this, the area of ​​Hubei, which was originally called Yunmengze, was gradually developed. This is also one of the original achievements of the Eastern Wu.

At this time, Zhou Yu wrote a letter asking them to go to Jingzhou for inspection. In fact, he wanted to persuade Sun Quan to make Xiakou the capital. However, she couldn't show it, so she asked with a smile.

The story of the Three Kingdoms is almost over, because Queen Tai occupies too small a proportion in the book.
