The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 52 The Three Sun Sisters

Sun Yuanying's eyes were red and swollen, with bloodshot eyes, and her expression was exhausted. Gu Tan had already fallen asleep beside her, with tears still on her face.Seeing Sun Shao walking out of the backyard with a heavy face, Sun Yuanying looked at Sun Shao with some worry, her chapped lips parted, but no sound came out.

"Sister, you are too tired, you should rest early." Sun Shao frowned and said with concern.

"I'm fine." Sun Yuanying's voice was hoarse, and it sounded as uncomfortable as being scratched by a knife. She glanced at the backyard, with anxiety in her eyes: "What did my father-in-law tell you?"

Sun Shao grinned and shook his head: "I didn't say anything."

The more relaxed he spoke, the more worried Sun Yuanying became.Gu Yong has been in a particularly bad mood these past few days. Although he is usually very deep in the city and his emotions and anger are invisible, there is no guarantee that he will not be able to control his emotions when he sees the people of the Sun family. Sun Shao is also impatient. It's hard to get angry on the face, but it's even more uncomfortable to hold it in my heart.Their parents died early, and Sun Yuanying, in a sense, regarded Sun Shao as a half-son. Seeing Sun Shao suffering, she felt uncomfortable.

"It's really all right." Seeing the expression on Sun Yuanying's face, Sun Shao knew that she didn't believe her, so he repeated the few words Gu Yong said to him just now. Sun Yuanying was a little unbelievable, and she looked at Sun Shao suspiciously: "Really?"

"It's true."

"That couldn't be better." Sun Yuanying breathed a sigh of relief, her straight body also relaxed, her back slightly bowed, her expression a little dazed.Neither of them spoke, only the sound of Gu Tan's soft snoring was left in the room, and Sun Shao was about to get up to leave, when there were disorderly footsteps outside, and then, two slim figures appeared at the door.

"Elder Sister." They called out, and then a crisp voice exclaimed: "Hey, Ah Man, you're here too."

Sun Shao looked up and smiled too. It was the second sister Sun Yuying and the third sister Sun Xiuying who came.Sun Yuying is 25 years old this year, and she is Zhu Ji's wife. She has lived a good life these years. She has a round face and a three-point affluence. When she saw her eldest sister Sun Yuanying, her eye circles turned red. Before he could speak, tears welled up in his eyes.Sun Xiuying is only three years younger than Sun Shao. She is petite and nearly a head smaller than Sun Shao, but she likes to act like an adult in front of Sun Shao. She is closest to Sun Shao at home. I didn’t go back to Wu County, and when I saw Sun Shao suddenly, I shouted happily, even the elder sister Sun Yuanying forgot, rushed up and grabbed Sun Shao’s ear just like when I was at home, and laughed and scolded: “Good job! Man, I'm here in Jianye, so I don't want to visit my third sister either."

"Third sister..." Sun Shao glanced at the eldest sister in embarrassment, and then Sun Xiuying remembered what she did here, and unwillingly let go of Sun Shao's ear, leaned to the other side of Sun Yuanying, and said sadly: " Eldest sister, you have suffered."

"Alas—" Sun Yuanying laughed forcefully, and stretched out his arms to embrace Sun Xiuying: "Life and death are fate, and this is my fate."

When the three sisters heard this, they fell silent. Only Sun Shao was not as sad as they were. Firstly, he was no longer the deity, and secondly, even if he was the deity, he didn't have a deep impression of Sun Ce and the Lu family. In his memory, The images of Sun Ce and Lu are far less vivid than Daqiao.Seeing that the three sisters were sad, he could only deal with it in silence.Seeing this, Sun Yuanying couldn't help feeling a little angry.

"Aman, how are you doing recently?"

"Okay." Sun Shao didn't care, and responded casually.But Sun Xiuying suddenly heard something wrong in her elder sister's voice, and she quickly winked at Sun Shao, but she didn't expect that the younger brother in front of her was not the original younger brother at all, she didn't understand her reminder at all, and just looked at her blankly.Sun Yuanying was bitter, and glared at Sun Shao: "Do you still remember your mother's last name?"

No matter how stupid Sun Shao was, he could tell something was wrong. He glanced at the three sisters and smiled awkwardly: "How can I not remember, it's just...just..."

"Just what?" Sun Yuanying looked at him angrily, swallowed the words, and said after a moment of silence: "Aman, come to Jianye, we are all in Jianye, it will be easier to move around in the future."

"That's right, Aman, you should come to Jianye too." Sun Xiuying exclaimed excitedly.

"Why am I here?" Sun Shao snorted, dismissively: "I'm guarding the grave in Wu County, so I don't come to Jianye to be watched by others. You are so beautiful, what about me? Come to the house of the three of you every day to eat and drink? You are not afraid of embarrassment, but I am also afraid of embarrassment." After speaking, he got up and greeted hurriedly, and walked away.The three Sun sisters looked at each other, and were so startled by Sun Shao's sudden anger that they couldn't speak. They looked at each other for a long time, and then Sun Yuying said helplessly, "Aman is still the same, getting angry at every turn."

"It's no wonder he." Sun Xiuying defended Sun Shao: "Uncle is too partial. So many people who are younger than Aman have become officials, but Aman has no chance, and anyone else will feel uncomfortable. Aman Since I was a child, I wanted to lead the army like Ah Weng, when I was a child, my uncle told me to wait until I was older, so I finally grew up, and there was another reason, so it's no wonder he wasn't angry."

Sun Yuanying glanced at the aggrieved third sister, and said flatly, "Are you talking about Aman, or the one from your family?"

Sun Yuying curled her lips: "Eldest sister, you are wrong to blame the third sister. Our brother-in-law is now prosperous and strong, but his uncle is very happy. Now that he is the governor of the right department, the third sister can still do it." Any complaints?"

"Second sister, don't just talk about me." Sun Xiuying retorted with a smile: "My brother-in-law is also a captain of cavalry, and he is a close minister of uncle, and he is not bad compared to Boyan..." She spoke halfway, but Thinking back to the original most powerful elder brother-in-law just passed away, the eldest sister is now at the saddest time, it seems inappropriate for the two of them to bicker here, so she quickly swallowed back the words, put away her smile, and said carefully : "Big sister."

"Oh——" Sun Yuanying sighed, looked at the two of them reproachfully, and said, "It's good for you to discuss helping Aman. You only care about showing off your little life, no wonder Aman is unhappy."

Sun Yuying lowered her head, and said in a low voice: "Eldest sister, it's not that we don't work hard, we really can't do enough. This time, Aman made new wine, but it wasn't my grandpa who sent someone to send it? Somewhat unhappy."

"You all made a mistake." Sun Yuanying smiled wryly and shook her head: "It's not that uncle doesn't want Aman to be an official, it's that Aman doesn't want to come to Jianye."

Sun Yuying and Sun Xiuying were stunned: "Is there such a thing?"

There were too many people in the Gu family, Sun Shao looked dizzy, and took Dun Wu and Shuai Zeng out the door early the next morning, planning to stroll around Jianye City to see what the future ancient capital of the Six Dynasties would look like*, the Lord Just as the servants left the door, they were looking eastward and westward, when a young man dressed as a servant came over and saluted Sun Shao with a smile on his face: "Excuse me, are you Sun Shaojun?"

Sun Shao was taken aback for a moment, and looked at the man: "Who are you?"

The man smiled: "A humble name is not enough. My master's surname is Lu Yuyi, and he is the school secretary next to the Supreme. Now I go in to pay homage to Gu Jun, and I will come out in a moment to meet Sun Jun and thank you. Please wait for Sun Jun."

Lu Yi?Sun Shao and Dun Wu glanced at each other and smiled.

"Don't dare, I'll just wait for Mr. Lu here." Sun Shao smiled gently.Seeing Sun Shao's kind face, the man was also very happy, thanked him again, turned and left.Shuai Zeng was a little unhappy, and muttered: "This kind of villain, why should the young master associate with him?"

"You know what a fart." Dun Wu glared at him, and turned his head away triumphantly.
