No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Chapter 970: All Shameless

"That's right!" Sun Quan nodded, and sent someone to report to the Queen Mother. But he turned around and looked at Liu Bei seriously and said, "Mother didn't know she was sick yet. The imperial physician found out when he took her pulse. He said that although her face didn't show anything, it was very dangerous. Please don't tell the Queen Mother that she is sick."

Liu Bei was even more confused. He said that the old lady didn't know she was sick and nothing could be seen on her face. So the doctor said she was sick?
"Is there no sign at all?" Liu Bei asked hurriedly with a bow.

"I just don't feel well and feel sleepy from time to time. Otherwise I wouldn't have asked a doctor to check it out." Sun Quan said hurriedly. He had already come up with the right word.

Liu Bei nodded. He had heard of this. Some elderly people seemed to have no disease, but their spirits had deteriorated. They usually only needed to sleep for three or four hours, but later they needed to sleep for five or six hours. Gradually, they slept more and more, and finally fell asleep. No one could tell what disease it was. It was probably the same for Wu Guotai. After all, she was the queen mother, so she couldn't just let it go. She had to think of a way.

When the messenger came back, Queen Mother allowed them to go in. Sun Quan waved his hands to cover his face and said, "Uncle, please do as you please. I cannot bear to see my mother!"

Zhou Yu also bowed his head and said nothing. He didn't dare to see the Queen Mother recently. He was scolded too harshly last time and felt uncomfortable for several days after returning. Now, he is not annoyed with Zhuge Liang. Now he is afraid of Wu Guotai. He doesn't care about Zhuge Liang's intelligence. Anyway, he has been judged as a fool by the old lady. What's the point of who is smarter than who? He is annoyed! However, these days, he turned his sadness into appetite and felt that he was in better health.

Liu Bei and Zhao Yun were invited by the maid to the inner hall where Wu Guotai was, and there was no one to accompany them. Liu Bei didn't care. He went in, expecting to see a bedridden old woman. In the end, they were invited to the side room next to the central hall. An old woman in gorgeous clothes was kneeling in front of a table, flipping through a book, writing something with a brush in her hand. A young girl was accompanying her.

Liu Bei and Zhao Yun hurried forward to greet him, and they were even more worried. If the old lady was lying in bed and looked like she was dying, he could still say that he would send someone back to Jingzhou immediately to ask a doctor to come and see her.

But now seeing the old lady like this, what should he do? At this time, Liu Bei (161 AD) was actually 50 years old, but 48 years old. He was only 155 years younger than Sun Jian (6 AD). It is not wrong to say that they are of the same generation.

How could he greet Wu Guotai, who looked younger than him?

Zhao Yun also felt embarrassed. They entered Nanxu with a nervous heart and did not expect to see Wu Guotai right away. At this time, no one reminded Liu Bei to change into nice clothes and dye his beard and hair. Now he came up and looked like an old man. Looking at Wu Guotai who still had charm, and then looking at his master whose hair and beard were a little gray, he felt that this time was going to be bad.

"Xuan De greets the Queen Mother of Wu. May the Queen Mother of Wu be well." Liu Bei still stepped forward to pay his respects, choking a bit, and finally could only call himself by his nickname to show his closeness. At this moment, he really didn't know how to call himself.

"Uncle, you are so polite! Please take a seat." Ou Mengmeng smiled and asked him to stand up, introducing Sun Shangxiang, "Xiang'er, this is Liu Xuande, the Emperor's uncle. Although he is six years younger than your father, you should still treat him as your elder. Even Prime Minister Cao once said, "The only heroes in the world today are you and me (Cao Cao)!"

He turned to look at Liu Bei again, "Uncle Liu, this is our little daughter Xiang'er. Zhongmou took over Jiangdong hastily at a young age and is unable to educate his younger brothers and sisters. You uncles should give him more guidance."

Liu Bei felt uncomfortable after hearing what the old lady said. She was saying that he was six years younger than Sun Jian and asked her to regard him as an elder. But he came here to marry a wife. Was the old lady saying this to indicate something? Even if not, he felt that he was a bit of a nobody. Liu Bei was not a lustful person. His famous saying was, "Brothers are like limbs, and women are like clothes." So he didn't care what Sun Shangxiang looked like. He just wondered if the old lady was really sick and if she meant something by asking Sun Shangxiang to pay respect.

"Uncle Emperor came to Jiangdong this time for something. I heard that your wife passed away. Why did Zhongmou invite you at this time?" Ou Mengmeng asked casually. Zhou Yu thought of the beauty trap because he heard that Liu Bei's wife passed away. He slapped his thigh and thought of a marriage! He didn't care whether it was appropriate to bring up a marriage at this time because his wife had just died. The problem is that no one in the book thinks it is inappropriate. Everyone thinks it is appropriate. Ou Mengmeng really thinks that this is indeed a book written by a man, and it is really a piece of shit. The person who came up with this idea and the one who was drunk and sleeping in the land of tenderness are both very shitty.

Liu Bei's face turned red. What did the old lady think of him when she said he was here to ask for marriage? He hadn't remembered yet that the "Xiang'er" opposite him was the Sun family that Sun Quan was going to marry him.

"Well, military and national affairs are important." Liu Bei said vaguely.

Ou Mengmeng nodded. Yes, for them, this was a military and national issue, not a love affair. He sighed, "How are the children? You men, military and national issues come first, brotherhood comes second, and you may not even think of your wife and children when they are in front of you. I'm afraid that my children, the next ones, can't even remember what their father looks like."

Liu Bei thought about it and was speechless. He actually put his brothers and military affairs together. He couldn't tell which one was more important. But he couldn't say that he had fulfilled his responsibilities to his wife and children.

"Don't mind me, I'm old and I like to daydream." Ou Mengmeng waved her hand and signaled Liu Bei to prepare tea. The two chatted for a while, and Wu Guotai never asked him what he was doing in Dongwu. She was an old lady in the Jia family. Although the times were different, it was ignorant for a stepmother like her to talk about military and national affairs with outsiders. Anyway, she had said everything she wanted to say.

Besides, at this time, Dongwu and Liu Bei's military group were allies, and it was normal for the two to visit each other frequently. He just thought that he came to discuss business and came in to visit. The two chatted for a while, and Wu Guotai said he was tired, so Liu Bei left.

After Ou Mengmeng and the others left, he turned to Sun Shangxiang and asked, "What do you think of Uncle Liu?"

"It's not worthy of the name." Sun Shangxiang also grew up among these elites. At this moment, she never thought that this middle-aged man had anything to do with her. She just spoke her mind intuitively based on the time they had just met for an incense stick.

"No, in my opinion, Cao Cao was right. He is a great man." Ou Mengmeng thought about it and shook her head.

Under such circumstances, Liu Bei entered Nanxu and came to see me. I said he was my elder, and although he was a little embarrassed, he responded calmly. From beginning to end, he didn't say anything and didn't seem to have any special features, but those who know history know that this is his old routine.

I've been tidying up my desk recently. I can't stand it myself, so I bought two under-desk cabinets to tidy it up. But no matter how I look at it, it still looks messy. What should I do? Am I born with the bad ability to tidy up?
