I am a sister-in-law in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 128: Cao Cao was so angry that he had a headache

My head hurts so much!

Cao Cao just sat under the light from the north, thinking about life and the past, and worrying about the future.

We can’t go to Jiangdong for on-the-spot inspection.

He envied the brothers Sun Ce and Sun Quan for their two-pronged approach, one leading the outside world and the other attacking the inside. He envied Qiao Jingjing's role in Jiangdong and Qiao Jingjing's help in farming and agricultural technical support for the Sun brothers.

Cao Cao didn't know how much Qiao Jingjing had contributed to helping Sun Ce and Sun Quan settle the disputes within the clan, stabilize the family situation, and clear the internal obstacles in Jiangdong.

If Cao Cao knew these things, he would not be envious or jealous.

It's a pity that if he missed it, he would miss it.

The valuable thing about Qiao Jingjing is that she knows what she is suitable for and needs.

She loves Jiangnan and knows that agriculture can be developed in Jiangnan.

Qiao Jingjing knows the country's situation better.

Although Cao Cao also knew the importance of agriculture to the people and local government officials, he would definitely be busy competing for territory with Yuan Shao and others within ten years.

Yuan Shao's son is still there. Yuan Shang is favored by his father Yuan Shao because of his handsome appearance and inherits Yuan Shao's title. Yuan Tan occupies Yecheng and Yuan Xi controls Youzhou.

Yuan Tan could not succeed to the throne, so he called himself a general of chariots and cavalry and stationed in Liyang.Yuan Shang did not give Yuan Tan troops and horses, so the brothers began to fight among themselves.

As an enemy, Cao Cao felt a headache after seeing this.

That kind of headache is the kind of headache that affects oneself and others.

The worry of an old father.

Therefore, Cao Cao envied Sun Jian's sons. He envied Sun Jian's early death and wonderful death. Therefore, Sun Jian's sons united and acted as one to the outside world.

Unlike the Yuan Shao family.

Cao Cao didn't have much confidence in himself or his sons.

After much deliberation, he thought it was very important to choose his daughter-in-law.

Choose a good daughter-in-law and make your family prosperous for three generations.

Thinking of missing Qiao Jingjing again, I lowered my feet and stretched my chest, and my headache became more and more severe.

Qiao Jingjing had no idea that her cart of fruit had caused so much trouble to her Uncle Meng De.

Anyway, Qiao Jingjing's life is very good now.

The three retainers who threatened Sun Ce had already been taken away by her two years ago.

The mountain bandits in Jiangdong have been wiped out, and because Jiangdong is now stable and stable, the agricultural prospects are very good, and many people are willing to farm.

The more food the people grow, the more fruits, and even the trees at home, can be turned into money.

Jiangdong is really stable.

And prosper.

There is also the Sun clan. Not to mention the fate of Sun Kuang, he is still imprisoned there. With Sun Ce in charge of Jiangdong and Sun Quan as a high-ranking assistant, no one who is blind would dare to release Sun Kuang.

There are also Sun Hao and his third uncle Sun Jing, who are all studying peacefully in their hometown in Fuchun, living a life where there are no soldiers, no soldiers, no riches, no idlers.

Qiao Jingjing really relied on her hands and brain to keep her stable life.

Sun Ce could never understand how many ups and downs and fears she had experienced.

Fortunately, Sun Ce is mature and steady.

In addition to Qiao Jingjing repeatedly telling Sun Ce and Sun Quan to be careful, not to ride alone, not to be alone, and not to give others opportunities.

There are also Zhang Zhao, Yufan, Zhang Hong, Lu Su and so on.

Everyone advised Sun Ce and his brothers: A big tree attracts the wind, and it is difficult to guard against hidden arrows.

And we have to guard against it!
Because there is that group of people, even if they have no hatred against you, when they see you becoming more and more powerful, they always think that if they kill you, they can take your position.

This is a survival law that exists in the animal world.

It's not a difficult thing to understand.

Fortunately.

Every time Sun Ce watched his two daughters and son grow bigger and bigger, they changed many of their previous habits.

Not just because of Qiao Jingjing's advice to him.

Because he really paid attention to it, and because reality was not as cruel to him as before, he didn't have to risk his life to gain a future.

He can gamble slowly and rhythmically.

But what faced Sun Ce were still those two questions.

Jiangxia already belongs to Sun Ce. To the west of Jiangxia is Jingzhou, and Liu Biao is not dead yet.

Further north from Jiangdong is Cao Cao.

Cao Cao has defeated Yuan Shao and obtained Yuan Shao's luggage, books and treasures, as well as many of his subordinates.

It was only a matter of time before Cao Cao took advantage of the situation and defeated several of Yuan Shao's sons, captured Jizhou and Qingzhou, and pacified the north.

At that time, Cao Cao's power will be even stronger.

Just how strong is it, you can’t even think about it?
In Sun Ce's mind, he always thought of the map Qiao Jingjing drew for him, showing China's trend from top to bottom.

If Cao Cao one day gathers a large number of troops and goes south.

Even as brave as him, who is known as the Little Overlord of Jiangdong, can he resist Cao Cao with the natural dangers of the Yangtze River?

Sun Ce touched his conscience and said.

difficult.

Even though he had made Jiangdong peaceful and smooth, and the people had lived and worked in peace and contentment for so many years, he still couldn't guarantee that when Cao Cao's power came, how many people in the six counties of Jiangdong around him would turn against Cao Cao? .

Yes, there are many people in this world who are not a firm anchor.

He is just a faggot, falling on both sides.

He can make a living with anyone he follows, so why should he throw his life and blood?
Only people like him, Sun Ce, and his second brother Zhongmou can either win or lose.

A battle between a prince and a bandit will determine the outcome.

Just like Yuan Shao's three bereaved dogs, Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi.

Yuan Shang was incompetent. Although he inherited Yuan Shao's family business, he still couldn't defeat his elder brother Yuan Tan, and finally had to surrender to Cao Cao.

But Cao Cao didn't allow it.

What message is this?
Don't mention Yuan Yao, Yuan Shu's favorite son, who is currently living in Jiangdong.

Not everyone is like Sun Ce, who can give those who surrender a way to survive.

There are many people in the world who are Cao Cao. He would rather kill thousands of people by mistake than let one person go.

Sun Ce thought about it.

Even though life was so good right now, with his beloved wife by his side, and he wished he could stay with her every day, he still had to go to war.

Go to Jingzhou again.

If Cao Cao was far away and Xuchang was empty, he would also consider robbing Cao Cao.

But you must pay attention to timing.

His open flame must be directed towards Jingzhou.

In this way, Cao Cao will continue to maintain superficial harmony with him, and he will also have the opportunity to continue to grow Jiangdong.

period.

Sun Ce made great efforts and conquered Jingzhou three times.

After devouring most of Jingzhou, Liu Biao was left with only a piece of skin left, struggling to survive.

At that time, Mrs. Wu was old.

After years of hard work, Mrs. Wu now has Qiao Jingjing to share the important affairs of the house, and Mrs. Wu has a lot of leisure time.

In those years, because her sons were often away at war, she was afraid that they would be worried, so she resisted and did not dare to get sick. Now that her life had stabilized, her problems gradually emerged.

Mrs. Wu sometimes suffers from headaches for three to five days.

Chest tightness, not liking to eat.

Sometimes I am in good spirits and enjoy family happiness with my daughter-in-law and grandchildren.

During the Hungry Ghost Festival this year, a lot of grain had just been harvested in the fields. Qiao Jingjing, Sun Ce and others presided over the Hungry Ghost Festival sacrificial ceremony.

Mrs. Wu was also happy, and she was busy for a few days. Now she was so tired that she lay down on the bed to rest for a few days. When the doctor came to see her, she didn't feel well.

Qiao Jingjing discussed with her husband Sun Ce that she still had to invite Hua Tuo.But Hua Tuo was in Xudu at this time.

It would take at least ten days and a half to go back and forth, and I was afraid that Mrs. Wu wouldn't be able to bear it.

It's a difficult time.

Qiao Jingjing's old mother Qiao Amu knew that her biological mother was sick and came to visit in person.

He recommended a Taoist priest to Mrs. Wu.

"My mother-in-law, this immortal Taoist priest, he has his own secret formula of immortal floating water, which can save people from illness. It can be effective for any disease."

What Aunt Qiao said was amazing.

Qiao Jingjing asked her mother when she met this Taoist priest?

Instead, Aunt Qiao complained about her eldest daughter:
"You seem to be busy all day long, and Xiao Qiao is not with me! I was sick and had some physical discomfort, but no one took care of me. Fortunately, my friends were very helpful and recommended this Taoist priest to me. His Taoist temple The talisman water in it is very magical."

As Mrs. Wu got older, she believed it all at once.

He immediately asked his eldest daughter-in-law Qiao Jingjing to invite the god to her.

"You should fast and bathe, speak kind words, and go and invite the sage yourself."

Qiao Jingjing had already determined in her heart that this Taoist priest was a deceitful person who cheated people out of money and was a type of feudal superstition.

Sun Ce also said: "All gods and Taoist priests are lies. Mother, mother-in-law, and the story of Ximen Bao Zhi Ye have been circulated all over the country for hundreds of years. You must believe in science. Those witches and Taoist priests who make lies are all lies. Money."

A few days later, Hua Tuo was still on the road again.

Mrs. Wu was really sick and flustered.

Mrs. Wu held the hands of Da Qiao and Sun Ce.

"My son, I'm afraid mother won't be able to survive this time! Just invite the god here, and mother will ask him if my time has come."

Oh.

Qiao Jingjing discovered that her mother-in-law's illness had reached such an extent that she needed a lie to deceive her, tell her that she could get better, and give her confidence.

A deceitful Taoist priest is very suitable for this role.

and so.

Qiao Jingjing specially prepared heavy gifts to invite this legendary Taoist priest.

Sun Ce is taking care of the matter of inviting Hua Tuo.

In fact, ten or eight local doctors from Wu County were invited to surround Mrs. Wu.

But just to reassure the old mother and not have any psychological burden, Sun Quan accompanied his sister-in-law to a Taoist temple.

at the mountain gate.

In the gloomy wind and rain, flags were flying one by one.

Sun Quan asked Daotong: "Old... what are the gods doing inside?"

The Taoist boy said: "The gods are asking for three feet of sweet rain to nourish all the people."

Qiao Jingjing looked up at the sky.

During the Hungry Ghost Festival, the crops have just been harvested. Even if the weather is hotter, there is nothing wrong with it. The grains have been dried for easy storage.

If the weather suddenly turns cooler and it rains in autumn, it is normal.

A Taoist priest who chants a few incantations can predict unexpected wind and rain?
I saw that the Taoist temple had been showing off for a long time before the fairy-like old Taoist priest came to Sun Quan and Qiao Jingjing with his white beard and white robe.

The old Taoist priest originally wanted to make some gestures to show that he was a god.

As a result, I saw the stunning beauty Da Qiao from Jiangdong.

Those dirty eyeballs are about to fall off.

Ok.

"I wonder why your noble Lord is here?"

Sun Quan said: "My mother is sick at home, so I asked the old gods to use her medical skills."

This old immortal was called the old immortal by the future Emperor of Soochow. He was neither humble nor blushing. He waved half of his whisk, looked at Sun Quan and nodded, and then looked at Qiao Jingjing.

"The two noble men, a talented man and a beautiful woman, are so beautiful that their future is boundless."

Sun Quan corrected the Taoist priest: "This is Mrs. Qiao, the wife of Marquis Wu. I am my sister-in-law. You must not be rude."

The old and immortal Taoist priest looked at Qiao Jingjing a few more times and praised her fiercely again.

"Okay, okay, you are blessed, your blessing is as deep as the ocean."

Qiao Jingjing just laughed:

"Old Taoist priest, we are all still young, and our blessings are as deep as the sea, which is a bit exaggerated. However, more or less people in Wu County are saying that you, old immortal, can reach the gods and have the wonderful talisman water given by the gods to save all living beings.

My mother-in-law has been a little unhappy these days. If you can't cure her, I will pull your beard and burn your ruined temple. Even the gods behind you won't blame me. "

The old Taoist priest Yu Ji had an embarrassed smile on his face.

"Ma'am, I'm joking. If I leave, the old lady will definitely be cured of her illness."

The old Taoist priest was playing tricks in a decent manner, and he was followed by twenty young Taoist priests. On both sides of the road outside the mountain gate, many people heard the news and came to see the excitement, and by the way, they knelt down to worship the old god and kowtowed to him.

It was surrounded by such radiant light that the old Taoist priest walked into the door of Sun's house.

Mrs. Wu actually just took the doctor's medicine.

Still have recurring fever.

As soon as Mrs. Wu heard that the old immortal was coming, her whole body became energetic. She quickly sat up from the bed and asked Xie and Yuan Shiyi to quickly change her into solemn clothes.

"Oh, hurry up, hurry up!"

Yu Ji walked in skinny, and several little Taoist priests stood beside him. They had white beards and white clothes, and they looked a bit like fake gods.

The fake god walked around in Mrs. Wu's room in various directions, stretched out his right hand and pinched and counted with a few fingers, counting and reciting.

Then he squinted his eyes and prayed.

The whole scene was extremely quiet during this period.

For a while, it seemed as if the fake Taoist priest's mind had gone to heaven and reported the situation to a certain deity.

The fake Taoist priest finally opened his eyes and took out three pills and a bottle of talisman water from his arms.

The little Taoist priest took it respectfully and handed it to Sun Ce.

Mrs. Wu looked at these elixirs with joy on her face.

The old immortal spoke:

"The Madam is as blessed as the East China Sea, so there is no need to worry. A few years ago, something dirty happened in the Madam's home, which disturbed a certain immortal who could not be explained clearly, so the young woman had to go to the Taoist temple to recite scriptures devoutly. How long did it take for this to happen? A woman needs to recite sutras for how long before she can cure the misfortune of the madam."

Mrs. Wu just looked at the old fairy.

"Old fairy, doesn't this elixir work?"

The old god was silent for a moment: "This elixir can cure diseases but not life. If you want your wife to be safe and smooth from now on and stay away from the scourge of illness, you still have to use the method that the old Taoist just said."

After the old god finished speaking, he shook off the dust and left with his white robe.

Behind him, a group of little Taoist priests followed.

Then Mrs. Wu quickly thought about it.

What the old Taoist priest just said was that the dirty things a few years ago were caused by A Shao falling into the water and then pulling Sun Kuang and Xiao Wu out of trouble?Regardless of the detention, if there is one young woman involved who has the closest connection to this matter, wouldn't it be Da Qiao?
Mrs. Wu looked at Da Qiao.

Da Qiao is famous for his filial piety.

That year in Lujiang City, His Majesty the Emperor in Luoyang was moved by his filial piety to his Aunt Qiao and his filial piety in serving Aunt Qiao when she was ill.

Sun Ce had long wanted to throw away the three elixirs and the bottle of talisman water.

Qiao Jingjing stopped.

Then he saw his mother looking at Qiao Jingjing with this look.

"Mother! What the Taoist said is superstitious. Da Qiao is so busy with affairs. In such a big family, even if there are two younger siblings to share the burden, there are at least thirty or fifty things to do in a day.

Da Qiao also has three children to take care of, the autumn harvest, and farmland and fish ponds.

The old Taoist priest made nonsense and asked Da Qiao to go to his Taoist temple to chant sutras. He had no good intentions. "

Sun Quan also said that his sister-in-law could not be allowed to go.

Even if you want to recite sutras, you can do so at home.

Therefore, the sisters-in-law of the Sun family have been chanting sutras and praying for their old mother at home these days.
