The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 11

Zhou Xun and the others looked at each other and smiled wryly. Grandmother really did. She didn’t eat the delicacies prepared by herself, but liked the porridge prepared by the guests.But even so, they could only watch Xiaoqiao eat the porridge bowl one mouthful after another. The speed and joyful expression made them dumbfounded.And Daqiao actually eats so deliciously, which makes them even more incredible. It is normal for them to eat less for Daqiao. I feel incredible.

More importantly, this porridge was cooked by Sun Shao, that rough man who only knows martial arts can still cook porridge?
Looking at Sun Shao who was still eating hazelnuts, the three brothers and sisters of the Zhou family looked at each other, all showing unreasonable expressions, and the taste of the carefully cooked food was gone.

Everyone finished their meal with their own thoughts, and the servants took away the dishes and served the wine like a stream of water.The drinking habits of the Han Dynasty were somewhat different from those of later generations. Not only did they eat first and then drink, but also there were not so many dishes when drinking, only some things to go with the wine.The wine in the Han Dynasty was all brewed wine. If it was bought, it was filtered. If it was home-brewed, it was usually brought up with the distiller's grains, and it was filtered and drunk immediately.Because the alcohol content of the brewed wine is not high, once it is filtered and placed for a long time, the aroma of the wine will lose a lot, so rich people usually brew it at home, and drink it immediately after filtering.

The wine was brought up, and the servants put cups of filtered wine on the paint table in front of everyone, and the three brothers and sisters of the Zhou family, who had been a little depressed all the time, became a little excited.They glanced at each other, sly smiles flashed in their eyes at the same time, got up at the same time, came to the bridge with wine glasses, bowed to salute, and said in unison with a crisp voice: "Xun'er (Yin'er, Yu'er) please Happy birthday to my aunt."

Daqiao was full of porridge, and Sun Shao gave her a face again, and she had a good harvest both spiritually and materially. In addition, she had prepared for Sun Shao for a long time yesterday, and knew that Sun Shao would not be able to win the three little people in front of her in the subsequent banquet today. , at least it won't be too embarrassing, the purpose of this trip has been achieved, I am in a very happy mood, and I took a shallow sip from the wine glass.

The three brothers and sisters of the Zhou family sat back at the table, and the servant filled the wine again. The three of them came to Sun Shao again and toasted him with a glass of wine.Then Sun Shao stood up as Xiaoqiaoshou, and then paid homage to the three brothers and sisters. This was a tour.

Next, came the meat part.Zhou Xun got up, filled Sun Shao's wine, sang a persuasive speech, and at the same time swung his sleeves, turned around and danced. Although the dance was not complicated, it was very elegant. Zhou Xun, who was originally good-looking, drank it After ordering wine, her face flushed, her lips became more red and her teeth whiter, handsome and charming, this time she sang and danced, she was even more beautiful, quite a bit compared to the famous drunken concubine of Peking Opera in her previous life.

With a slight smile, Sun Shao tapped the time with Zhou Xun's singing. Although he didn't know much about the music of the Han Dynasty, the time was still accurate.After Zhou Xun danced, Sun Shao drank the wine, and then Zhou Xun stepped forward again, and did it again, but his singing and dancing were a little less graceful than Zhou Xun's, but a little more heroic.The last is Zhou Yu.Zhou Yu drank a few glasses of wine, and clouds had already piled up on his fair face, making him even more charming. For Sun Shao, standing in front of such a pretty little lolita was enough to please the eyes and make him realize that he was so innocent. What's more, she was still twisting Xiaoman's waist and singing a ditty. Naturally, she kept shouting happily and drank three cups in a row.

Daqiao and Xiaoqiao sat at the top, watching the juniors frolicking.Xiaoqiao knew that although the three brothers and sisters were a little cautious, they were just children's competitive spirit and had no malicious intentions. She was just worried that Daqiao's face would not look good. Very calm, not as embarrassing as before, can't help being a little curious.Sun Shao hasn't been here for a long time, but this time he came here to be quite strange, could it be that there is some kind of adventure?With this thought in mind, Xiaoqiao naturally fell in love with Sun Shao's performance below.

Under the watchful eyes of the four members of the Zhou family, Sun Shao drank up the remaining wine in the cup and asked someone to fill it up again. Then he stood up and cupped his hands with an apologetic smile: "The singing and dancing of big brothers and sisters are here!" Before, it really embarrassed me. You are all elegant people, I am just a martial artist, and I am really not good at it."

After hearing this, Zhou Xun let go of his tense mind, glanced at his siblings, and said with a generous smile: "Brother, this is so outrageous, there are no outsiders here, singing and dancing are just a little bit of everyone. Fun, why do you have to be so restrained, it will not lose the original intention of the banquet."

"That's right, big brother, don't refuse, the last dance will be enough." Seeing that Sun Shao was subdued, Zhou Yin felt happy, shouted loudly, and poured a large glass of wine into his mouth.

"Yes, brother, if you don't want to sing and dance, you might as well tell a joke and listen to it." Seeing Sun Shao's forced and helpless look, Zhou Yu felt relieved and at the same time couldn't bear it, so he said a compromise method.At banquets, there are many people who really can't sing or dance. Tell a joke to amuse everyone.

Sun Shao secretly sighed, although the brothers and sisters of the Zhou family were a little arrogant, but they were from aristocratic families and had the legacy of Zhou Yu, so they didn't deceive others too much. The former lord Sun Shao cared too much about the spirit of fighting in the past.He thought for a while, turned towards Zhou Xun, and said with a smile: "Today is the wine to send Ah Xun to the expedition. If it is just a joke, it would be a bit insincere. How about it, I will use the horizontal blow in the army to forcefully play it." A song, and it should be A Xun's strong line, I wish A Xun horse success, the flag is victorious, and the majesty of my uncle's defeat of Cao's army will be reproduced, how about it?"

Zhou Xun was relieved when he heard it, what Sun Shao said was very natural to him.Although horizontal blowing is a joy in the army, it is perfect for giving him a future general. Hearing Sun Shao's wish for him, he can't help but feel sorry for Sun Shao.Although Sun Shao is just brave, he is good at martial arts. If he has the opportunity to go to the battlefield, even if he cannot command an army like him, but commanding two to three thousand people, it is more than enough to be a general like Gan Ning. It is just his identity Embarrassing, even this willingness is impossible, and I can only use the horizontal blow in the army to relieve the block in my heart.

"Auspicious words from elder brother." Zhou Xun left the table, and returned a salute with restraint.

Zhou Yin and Zhou Yu's thoughts were roughly the same as Zhou Xun's, and they both felt a little pity for Sun Shao, so naturally they would not object.

Sun Shao asked Qiaoyue to fetch the homemade bamboo flute, tested the sound, and glanced at everyone with his harmless and shy eyes, but when he saw the bridge, he saw a smile from the eyes of the bridge. She blinked her eyes, turned around, and had that reserved look again: "Auntie, A-Xun, A-Yin, and A-Yu, you all have a deep understanding of the rhythm, and my uncle is a famous general in the army. This ordinary military music , You are familiar with it, even if I played it, it would not show my sincerity, I just happened to listen to some wild tunes, and I wanted to play them to you, to help you enjoy the wine, please don't dislike them."

Seeing Sun Shao's pitiful words, Xiaoqiao couldn't bear it, waved his hands and said: "Aman, why should my family say such things, elegant music is good, wild tunes have something to offer, and the court also has Yuefu. "

Sun Shao saluted gratefully, then straightened up, took a deep breath, and blew the bamboo flute.As soon as the melodious flute sounded, the four members of the Zhou family were stunned, and all looked at Sun Shao at the same time.At this time, Sun Shao didn't look at them, closed his eyes slightly, and played the flute with all his attention, his body swaying slowly with the rhythm, as if wandering in it.Zhou Xun and Zhou Yin were only attracted by Sun Shao's beautiful timbre and melody, and found it a bit unbelievable. When Zhou Yu was alive, every time he returned home, advocacy was indispensable. They had seen Hengfeng a lot, but they had never heard of it. Such a mellow and clear tone, let alone such a beautiful melody.Besides, Zhou Yu was attracted by Sun Shao's obsessive concentration. Zhou Yu stared at Sun Shao's face, his long eyelashes flickered, and his face suddenly turned red.
