Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms: Da Qiao doesn't want to be a widow anymore

Chapter 247 Is this how you coax people?

The paperwork is tiring.

Sun Quan's eyes were sore from reading the documents on the table. He looked at the food on the table, and although he was obviously hungry, he had no appetite at all.

I glanced at the clepsydra in the study and realized that it was already past dinner time.

Just when he was feeling upset, he heard Youxuan coming to Sun Quan with sweat on his forehead to ask for credit, "My lord, the lady is here!"

Sun Quan glanced at Youxuan, then returned his gaze to the document in his hand and replied calmly, "Oh."

Youxuan was confused again by this emotionless "Oh". It sounded like the prince was not as happy as he thought.

Could it be that Youxuan guessed wrong?

"Then..." You Xuan was uncertain again, "Should we let the Madam in?"

Sun Quan did not answer immediately, and You Xuan felt even more uncertain. The key point was that when he went to pass on the message, he said that the Lord had asked his wife to come. If the Lord asked his wife to go back at this time, he could not imagine whether his wife would think that he lied about the military intelligence and glare at him when he went out to reply to his wife.

It took Sun Quan a while before he uttered a soft "hmm". Although he didn't sound very emotional, the slightly raised corners of his mouth revealed his mood at the moment, which was at least much better than before.

This time Youxuan felt that he understood, and his heart was finally at ease. He happily went to open the door for his wife.

As a result, as soon as Qiao Wei entered the door, Sun Quan's face couldn't help but fall again.

Qiao Wei didn't come alone, she was holding her new version of the pendant Sun Deng in her arms.

Sun Quan stood up and checked. After confirming that Sun Deng was unconscious, he spoke with confidence. His tone was full of resentment. "Why don't you put him on the couch to sleep? Why did you bring him here?"

"I've tried twice. He wakes up as soon as I put him down, and cries when he wakes up. I can't do it anymore." Qiao Wei was helpless. It turned out that taking care of a child was the most exhausting thing.

She glanced at the untouched lunch on the table and said, "It's already this late, why haven't you had lunch yet?"

Sun Quan glanced at the food and the expression on Qiao Wei's face, then pretended to be still reading the official documents, with a slightly raised corner of his mouth and a nonchalant tone, "Oh, I don't want to eat."

Qiao Wei leaned over and stared into Sun Quan's eyes, his eyes full of inquiry. Sun Quan looked away immediately after meeting his gaze, and did not forget to fan his hands, "I'm reading official documents, don't mess with me!"

Huh, what a duplicitous man.

"You're not hungry, but I am."

"Then use it!" Sun Quan did not respond and remained unmoved.

Qiao Wei glanced at Sun Deng, who was sleeping unconscious in his arms, and said, "No hands."

Sun Quan finally put down the document in his hand that he had read several times but didn't understand a single word of. He used his eyes to confirm the meaning of Qiao Wei's words just now. Qiao Wei responded to his question with a clear look.

In the end, Sun Quan was defeated and sighed in annoyance, "What a pair of idiots." The food had already gone cold and could not be eaten, so he had to ask the kitchen to reheat it and serve it.

While waiting for the food, Qiao Wei did not forget to ask Sun Quan to adjust some of his scattered hair.

While Sun Quan was tidying up her hair, he expressed his resentment towards her with his eyes. Youxuan clearly asked her to coax him, but she seemed to be blind and didn't notice that he was unhappy at all.

"They're all asleep, just put them on the couch. Aren't you tired of holding them?"

Sun Deng would take a nap for an hour. It was not easy to sleep in the same posture for an hour.

Qiao Wei didn't care, "He hasn't seen me for a long time, I'll keep him company for a while."

Sun Quan's resentment intensified. "Hey, you know how to coax your son, but not your husband?"

"I'm here to coax you." Qiao Wei opened his eyes wide, full of innocence, and expressed his sincerity, "As soon as Xiaoxuan said you didn't want to eat, I brought Deng'er with me."

"Oh..." It would be better not to come! People would be even more angry when they see the difference in treatment.

Fortunately, he saw the letter sent back from Dan Yang and learned that she had encountered two dangers in a row and had been frightened for several days. She even wanted to give up the task of inspecting the military camp. When he came back and saw that she was so heartless and sleeping soundly, he felt distressed and relieved.

I thought that when she woke up in the morning, she would come and complain to me, tell me about the thrills and fears she had experienced along the way, and use a softer tone to gain more of my sympathy. But she was busy coaxing her son, and seemed to have completely forgotten that she had a husband.

Thinking of this, Sun Quan looked at Qiao Wei with a look of indescribable sadness.

"Did you have a smooth journey?" Sun Quan took the initiative to speak first.

Qiao Wei shook his head. It wasn't smooth at all, but it was full of ups and downs. Every time he recalled it, he felt scared again and again.

"It was a little uneasy. I almost couldn't come back to see Deng'er. Fortunately, there was no danger." Qiao Wei also felt that sometimes he was really lucky. He always hovered on the edge of life and death, but in the end he could still save his life.

But this description did not sound so comfortable to Sun Quan. It was as if Qiao Wei was always telling him about someone else's experience. She could even give him such a light summary of a matter of life and death. So what about the fear and emotions hidden in these things? Where did they go?

"Nothing else to say?" Sun Quan was a little angry.

"Also, I brought back some news. Do you want to listen to it?" Qiao Wei continued slowly, "Let's talk about personal matters first. My sister-in-law Cao is pregnant. In about two months, the Sun family will also have a baby.

Then came the official business. The progress of the Danyang Metallurgical Plant was better than expected. I brought back the latest mechanical crossbow. Compared with the previous version of the mechanical crossbow, this time I can fire nearly a hundred arrows at a time by replacing the quiver. This time I was able to escape death, and the mechanical crossbow played a great role.

However, the weight of the 4.0 version of the crossbow increased significantly after adding the quiver. After all, you can't have your cake and eat it too. To achieve this, the craftsmen have done their best. "

But she thought about it and realized that when the soldiers in the army were training, they could pull those fifty-stone bows, so the weight of the quiver was not a problem for the soldiers.

"By the way, do you want to try it?" Qiao Wei was so excited when she talked about her profession that she couldn't stop talking. She really wanted to see how shocked Sun Quan would be by the ingenious crossbow. After all, even she, the original designer, was shocked when she saw the actual effect of the 4.0 version of the ingenious crossbow.

"Okay, when Deng wakes up, you come with me to try." Although Sun Quan did not fully understand what Qiao Wei said, since Qiao Wei praised it so highly, he must have his own unique ideas.
