The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 36 Return from Victory
With a "snap", Lu Yi, the lieutenant colonel's secretary, slammed the bamboo slips in his hand on the desk. His face was ashen, and his original handsome face became very ferocious. He cursed: "Zhuzi, he doesn't even look at his situation." Do you think that old man Zhu Zhi can do whatever he wants? Fifty gold a year? He just snatched my Tiantianju."

His son Lu Jian picked up the bamboo slips from the ground, glanced at them quickly, and was a little surprised.The bamboo slips were sent by Lu Qing. It said that Sun Shao's mansion had made a new kind of wine, which was extremely violent and unique in the world. He wanted to cooperate with Sun Shao to exclusively manage this new wine, but Sun Shao offered a sky-high price. Fifty gold is charged every year, and he is only offered [-] dou. What is even more annoying is that he is only allowed to sell this [-] dou in Wu County, and he has no right to sell it outside Wu County.

In Lv Yi's view, this is undoubtedly an act of banditry. Tianranju has been in business for so many years, when did you suffer this kind of anger?Besides, the net profit of the sky is only forty or fifty gold a year, and Sun Shao's appetite is too big, and he can get fifty gold as soon as he stretches out his hand.What annoyed Lv Yi even more was that Sun Shao hooked up with Zhu Zhi. Isn't it obvious that he wanted to use his power to bully others.

"Ah Weng, this matter...seems a bit strange." Lu Jian said hesitantly.

Lu Yi glared at him: "What's so weird?"

"Zhu Zhi has been an official for 30 years. Have you heard that he used two jars of wine to make money for others?" Lu Jian said while thinking: "This man should know, he is not good at drinking, not good at sex. , not good for money, but only good for power. From his point of view, how can he not see the situation of Sun Shao? How could he stand up for Sun Shao just for the sake of two jars of wine? liquor."

Lu Yi frowned, thought for a while, and said angrily, "Then what do you think is going on?"

Lu Jian shook his head and smiled wryly: "I don't know what's going on, I just think that things may not be as simple as Uncle saw, maybe they have other deals. Besides, Uncle just saw Zhu Wansui arrive When the Sun family fetched the wine, they didn’t hear what Zhu Zhi promised, maybe it’s because Sun Shao took advantage of Zhu Zhi for profit.”

Lu Yi was silent for a while and didn't speak. He felt that what Lu Jian said seemed reasonable, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was impossible. He knew Sun Shao, and he had always been reckless, as if he couldn't play this kind of tricks. invite.But it's hard to say, if he can't figure it out, maybe someone will help him think of an idea, and it's not impossible to scare Lu Qing with such a trick of pretending to be a tiger.

"Then wait." Lu Yi sat down again in front of the case, took the bamboo slips handed over by Lu Jian and read it again, thought for a while and said, "You write him a reply and ask him to check the Sun's residence. There is something unusual recently, especially to check if anyone has entered the mansion." Lu Yi said, and he couldn't believe it: "What kind of future does that Shuzi Sun Shao have, and what idiot will go to him?"

"Ah Weng, there are many people living in Jiangdong. It is hard to say that there are not a few of them who are eccentric, unwilling to be an official, and have to solve the problem of livelihood. Sun Shao is eager to ask for money, which may be related to this. Since he is an official Hopeless, of course, don’t try to make money.”

"That makes sense." Lv Yi nodded, pushed the bamboo slips aside, thought for a while and said, "Wait a minute, if Zhu Zhi really stands up for Sun Shao, I can't do it rashly, anyway, This old Zhuzi still holds a lot of weight in Supreme's heart, and it's not worth it to provoke him for fifty gold."

Lu Jian, who was about to write a reply letter, listened and agreed deeply. Although fifty gold is not a small amount, it is not unacceptable to Lu Yi. If he falls out with Zhu Zhi because of this, In the future, this natural residence cannot be opened in Wu County. With Zhu Zhi's power, it is not a trivial matter to overthrow a natural residence.

"What about Uncle?"

"Don't worry, your uncle has been running Tianranju for so many years, he can still handle this matter." Lu Yi waved his hand, motioning for Lu Jian to go down, and then sat alone in front of the desk, blinking his slender eyes a few times A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Sun Shao entered the mansion with a blank expression on his face. The little girl Qiaoyue didn't dare to say anything when she saw his uneasy expression, and carefully brought the washing water.Sun Shao wiped his face indiscriminately, and returned to the study, and just sat down for less than a moment, there was a rush of footsteps at the door, and then, Daqiao stood at the door panting, leaning on the door frame and looking at him worriedly: "Aman, are you back?"

Sun Shao looked at her in surprise, put down the bamboo slips in his hand, and went up to her: "Mum, what's the matter?"

Daqiao was taken aback for a moment, she heard from Qiaoyue that Sun Shao was back, and she seemed not in a good mood, thinking that Sun Shao would be smitten at the meeting, so she hurried over to take a look, but although Sun Shao in front of her was not very happy Look, but it doesn't seem to be uncomfortable.She hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked:

"You...have you written poetry?"

"I did." Sun Shao nodded, still expressionless.

"How?" Daqiao became more worried.

"It's okay." Sun Shao walked into the house with the help of the bridge and sat down, then spread the poems brought back in front of her, and said lightly: "Zhang Wen said, my poems are the first."

Ohashi, who picked up the paper and was about to read the poem, shook his hand and almost tore the thin Zuo Bo paper in half.She raised her head and stared at Sun Shao with a look of disbelief: "You...first?"

"I didn't say it, it was Zhang Wen who said it." Sun Shao's mouth finally revealed a long-hidden smile, he squeezed his eyes, and said with a smug smile: "Mum, I'm very good, right?"

"Woo--" Daqiao let out a long breath, and tapped Sun Shao's forehead in happiness and annoyance: "In this case, why did you have a bad face when you entered the door? Mom thought..."

"Why do you think I'm being laughed at again?" Sun Shao approached Daqiao with a playful smile, wrinkled his nose, and let out a long sigh of relief: "Mother, I feel uncomfortable because I was smoked by them. A group of big men, what kind of powder, what kind of incense, almost killed me. At the beginning, they were far away from me, that's all right, but later Zhang Wen said that my poems are the first, and those people All of a sudden, everyone surrounded me, alas, the one who gave me Xun burst into tears."

Sun Shao shook his hands exaggeratedly, as if those nauseous scents were still in front of his eyes. Daqiao heard the words interestingly, but forgot to look at the poem in his hand for a moment, and was amused by him.

Sun Shao sniffed again, smelling the natural body fragrance of Daqiao, and said intoxicatedly, "It's better for my mother, it's fresh and natural, I can't stop." Taking an inch forward, he put his head on Daqiao's limp legs, sighed and said, "It always reminds me of the carefree time when I was a child."

Daqiao was taken aback, and swallowed the words that had come to her lips, stretched out her hand to caress Sun Shao's hair, her stern eyes became gentle again, and she said softly: "Aman, no matter what, you still grow When I grow up, I can no longer rely on my mother like before."

Sun Shao nodded, but couldn't get up, curled up, looking helpless and pitiful, which made Daqiao feel distressed.After a while, he stopped smiling and asked, "By the way, mother, what's going on with Xie's family and Xu's family?"

"Xie's family and Xu's family?" Daqiao was also taken aback for a moment, his blushing face gradually turned cold, and the hand stroking Sun Shao's hair froze for a moment, and after a moment of silence, he asked: "They went too?"

"Yeah." Sun Shao rubbed his nose, "Xie Cheng came to me, and wanted me to sell new wine, or cooperate with me. It's quite friendly. Xu Zuo didn't. He seemed indifferent, and he wasn't easy to get close to."

"The Xie family is a wealthy family in Shanyin, Kuaiji. Mrs. Xie has been out of favor for more than ten years and has no heirs. The Xie family has no one in power now. The situation is similar to yours. He came to make friends with you, probably because of yours. Poetry is good, it has gained a foothold among scholars. This Xu family is somewhat different. Although Mrs. Xu has been in Wu for many years, the Xu family and your Sun family are related by marriage. Her elder brother Xu Jiao is now in power. What's more, she still has the kindness of nurturing Sun Deng, and the future is unpredictable, so of course she won't take the initiative to provoke you." Daqiao gently put down the poem in his hand, twitched the corner of his mouth, and said with some disdain: " However, they are all the abandoned wives of your supreme uncle, when they were favored back then, they were often looked down upon by General Chao Ni."
