Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Chapter 92 Sun Family
  The Fuchun Sun family is said to be a descendant of Sun Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Of course, now the Sun family has long declined to become a wealthy family and a poor family, not even an aristocratic family.

Among the existing aristocratic families in Wu County, the Sun family is completely inconspicuous, and the highest official position of a family member is only the post of Sima of another department held by the family leader Sun Jian.

After the Sun family hurriedly moved to Wuxian County to avoid bandits, Liu Bei, the county guard, paid a visit in person.

When the door of Sun's house opened wide, what appeared in front of Liu Bei was a beautiful woman who was pregnant with Liujia, a bit noble and pregnant, and she bowed slightly and saluted.

"Chief Liu, please come quickly."

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment. Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, he couldn't react for a long time and asked. "This is the home of the Fuchun Sun family, the other Sima Sun Wentai?"

"Sun Wentai is my husband." The beautiful woman replied.

When Liu Bei heard this, he couldn't help but look at the beautiful woman in front of him who was full of pregnancy and with a bulging belly in surprise, and quickly returned the greeting.

"The person in front of me must be Mrs. Wu of the Sun family. Binai is a good friend of Wentai. I was previously busy with official duties and was unable to visit Fuchun. Please forgive me."

"I have also received a letter from my husband regarding this matter, saying that Commander Liu is a kind and virtuous gentleman, and that he and my husband hit it off at first sight. If Commander Liu comes to visit, he must be well received."

Mrs. Wu said in a controlled manner, then extended her hand to invite Liu Bei to come in and talk.

Liu Bei nodded and entered the mansion with Xiahou Bo and a group of soldiers carrying various gifts.

Of course, with Sun's current family background and financial resources, he would not be able to afford an excellent residence when he moved to Wuxian County in a hurry. It was simple and cramped everywhere, and could only be described as barely a place to stay.

After Liu Bei and Mrs. Wu sat down in the main hall, Liu Bei looked at Mrs. Wu's belly and couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother Wentai, who has been fighting abroad for half a year, is really lucky to have another Qilin."

Mrs. Wu unconsciously touched her belly and said.

"It's just that this son is about to be born, so my husband may not be able to return."

"Brother Wentai is fighting in the country, so there is nothing we can do about it." Liu Bei comforted him absentmindedly.

Liu Bei and Sun Jian are not far apart in age, but they have not yet started a family, let alone have children.

Therefore, Sun Jian seemed to be forced to leave home and not be able to return, and his official position was far inferior to that of Liu Bei. But at this moment, Liu Bei looked at Mrs. Wu in front of him and felt inexplicably that he had failed completely.

In particular, Mrs. Wu was still pregnant. This was something that Liu Bei had never heard Sun Jian mention before. He only mentioned that in addition to Mrs. Wu, there were two younger sons and a younger daughter in the family.

Moreover, all matters of the Sun family are handled by his wife, Mrs. Wu, with only one younger brother, Sun Jing, assisting her.

In addition, Liu Bei had previously agreed to take more care of the Sun family after Sun Jian moved to Wu County as an official. Liu Bei hurriedly paid a visit when he heard that the Sun family had moved to Wu County.

Immediately, Liu Bei changed the topic and introduced to Mrs. Wu a series of gifts specially brought to her door, most of which were silk and food.

Although it wasn't anything valuable, it was something that could be used for daily living expenses. This made Mrs. Wu's somewhat nervous heart gradually relax a lot.

Gifts reveal their nature and their purpose.

The gifts they brought were not flashy ones, but simple things that the Sun family could use at the moment, which moved Mrs. Wu quite a bit.

Originally, Mrs. Wu was quite worried that Liu Bei might insult Sun's orphans and widowed mothers for some purpose, but she did not want to take it seriously as Sun Jian's letter said:

[Liu Xuande is a benevolent gentleman. If you are in trouble, you can seek help from him. 】

"Mrs. Wu, please forgive me for the offence. It's just that Mrs. Wu is pregnant with Liujia now and should take more rest. However, she came to greet her in person. It's really flattering. Please remember that Brother Wen Tai once said that there is still a brother in the family. My younger brother Sun Youtai (Sun Jing), where is he?"

Liu Bei asked.

Mrs. Wu responded. "Prefect Liu is my husband's friend. Although I am not familiar with etiquette, I still know how to welcome her personally for my husband. As for Youtai..."

At this point, Mrs. Wu paused slightly, then sighed and said.

"Before, there was a rebellion by bandits. Youtai led the young servants at home to resist them. Unfortunately, he was injured in the vital organs and died half a month ago."

When Liu Bei heard this, he couldn't help being shocked. He apologized repeatedly and felt ashamed.

"I just regret that I was hindered by the heavy rain and was unable to go to Wu County to suppress the bandits. However, I harmed Youtai. How can I go to see Brother Wentai in the future?"

Mrs. Wu comforted. "How can you blame Governor Liu for this matter? Please don't blame yourself, Commander Liu."

"Ugh……"

Liu Bei sighed and said. "Publicly, Bei is the governor of Wu County; privately, Brother Wentai and Bei are close friends; both publicly and privately, how can Bi be able to evade this matter?"

Immediately, Liu Bei said in a deep voice. "In the near future, we will be ready to wipe out the bandits in Wu County, to inform the spirit of Youtai in the sky, and to give the people of Wu County a bright future."

At this moment, Mrs. Wu was greatly impressed by Liu Bei's responsible attitude.

'I don't expect my husband to be frivolous and strong-willed on weekdays, but he actually made such friends outside. It's really a blessing. '

Immediately, Mrs. Wu stood up and saluted, holding her belly.

"In this way, I will thank Governor Liu on behalf of Youtai and the people of Wu County."

"Absolutely not, absolutely not..."

When Liu Bei saw this, he was so frightened that he quickly stepped forward and subconsciously wanted to help Mrs. Wu. He also realized that men and women were different and did not dare to touch Mrs. Wu, so he could only help her.

"Mrs. Wu is currently pregnant with Liujia and cannot perform this grand ceremony. Please get up quickly."

Mrs. Wu heard the words and responded. "Liu County Governor is overly worried. I also occasionally practice martial arts with my husband. Although I dare not say that I have the ability to kill enemies in battle, I consider myself to be as strong as an ordinary man. My daily activities will not have much impact on the fetus in my belly."

"Even so, Mrs. Wu should get more rest."

While Liu Bei was persuading, he thought of something. "So, doesn't it mean that the entire Sun family is now managed by Mrs. Wu alone?"

"Strive to support it." Mrs. Wu responded.

"From now on, if Mrs. Wu has any problems, please feel free to send someone to the government office to let her know." Liu Bei said.

"Then I'll have to trouble Governor Liu from now on."

"Mrs. Wu, there is no need to be so polite. Brother Wentai and I are good friends. Brother Wentai is serving the country and cannot return home. Bei should take care of his wife and children on behalf of Brother Wentai, and Mrs. Wu can just call Bei Xuande." Liu Bei said.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu also intended to close the distance between the two parties and responded.

"It is indeed a blessing for the Sun family that my husband has such a good friend as Mr. Xuande."

Immediately, when Liu Bei asked with concern whether Mrs. Wu was having any difficulties at home, a soldier walked up to Xiahou Bo, who was guarding Liu Bei's side, and reported a few words in his ear.

Immediately afterwards, Xiahou Bo reported to Liu Beihui in a low voice. "Lord, Mr. Zikun is outside the door now."

"Is Zikun here?"

When Liu Bei heard this, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, and he spoke to Mrs. Wu.

"The humerus has arrived. I wonder if I can invite him into the house. I can introduce him to Mrs. Wu."

"Could it be Li Zikun?" Mrs. Wu asked.

"Exactly."

"Li Sanqian's name has been heard by many women, even concubines like me, and they are eager to see it."

As Mrs. Wu spoke, she planned to get up and go to the door to greet her personally.

Upon seeing this, Liu Bei quickly advised Mrs. Wu to rest in the main hall, and then took Xiahou Bo outside to welcome Li Ji in.

After a while, when Liu Bei came back again, there was a handsome gentleman-like husband behind him. His demeanor was elegant and indifferent as he looked around.

After Liu Bei gave a brief introduction to both parties, Li Ji looked at the beautiful young woman who was both noble and pregnant, and was still unable to connect with the old "Wu Guotai" in a certain impression.

In 184, Wu Guotai's charm was still there, she was clearly in the right time...

cough cough...

Look no further!

After realizing something, Li Ji quickly looked away to avoid being rude.

At this moment, three figures of different heights walked into the main hall.

The leader was much younger than Xia Houlan, but his young face was full of heroic spirit. He showed no signs of timidity when facing the guests in the main hall, and he bowed in a measured manner.

"Mom, why are you calling me here?"

Mrs. Wu introduced Liu Bei and Li Ji.

"Mr. Xuande, Mr. Zikun, this is Sun Ce, the eldest son of the Sun family. He is nine years old..."

Immediately, Mrs. Wu spoke to Sun Ce. "Cer, this is your father's good friend. Please meet Uncle Xuande and Mr. Zikun soon."

When Sun Ce, who was nearly nine years old, heard this, he immediately saluted.

"Sun Ce pays homage to Uncle Xuande and Mr. Zikun."

"Please get up quickly."

Liu Bei stepped forward to help Sun Ce up. He looked at this heroic young man with admiration and praise in his eyes.

"This boy has the style of a literary scholar, and he will be a fierce tiger in the future."

Li Ji also looked at the "Jiangdong Little Overlord" in the original trajectory with great interest. He even touched Sun Ce's head based on his age and seniority, which was regarded as a stroke of the tiger's head.

Sun Ce felt Li Ji's warm palms and friendly manner. Instead of rejecting it at all, he subconsciously rubbed it.

Immediately, another child standing behind Sun Ce came forward and saluted imitating Sun Ce's example.

"This son is our second son, Sun Quan. He is three years old now."

Compared with the eldest son Sun Ce, Sun Quan can only be considered as having just weaned himself off, and he is not even walking properly. He also sounds like a baby. When he looked at Liu Bei and Li Ji, he subconsciously wanted to hide behind Sun Ce.

However, Sun Ce pulled Sun Quan out with a backhand pull and taught Sun Quan how to say hello to Liu Bei and Li Ji.

When Liu Bei saw this, he also praised him. "Sun Erlang is also extraordinary. If I have a son like this in the future, I will be very happy..."

Before Liu Bei could finish speaking, Li Ji took the lead and picked up Sun Quan, interrupting Liu Bei's flag.

Lord, you can't do it!
  I would rather the young master be Adou than Sun Shiwan.

Therefore, Li Ji interrupted Liu Bei's spellcasting even if he was rude.
