"It stands to reason that I should accept this marriage."
"But……"
In the middle of speaking, Wu Guotai looked up at the expressions of Lu's father and son.
I saw the doubts and surprises on the faces of the Lu family father and son.
It seems to be saying, my Lu family wanted to take Sun Shangxiang, but I was rejected!
Seeing the appearance of the two father and son, Wu Guotai couldn't help feeling a little displeased.
She cleared her throat and continued:
"Shang Xiang has been dancing with guns since she was a child, and she doesn't like female celebrities. I ask the young master of the Lu family to think about whether this marriage should continue."
It was only then that the Lu family father and son noticed that they had lost their composure just now.
Lu Jun hurriedly said:
"Where is the old lady, the princess has a noble status, and our Lu family is the one who climbs up."
Lu Xun also echoed:
"Old lady Mingjian, I, Lu Xun, like girls like the princess!"
Hearing this, Wu Guotai softened his tone and continued:
"In that case, let me ask Quan Er and Shang Xiang before making a decision."
After finishing speaking, Wu Guotai turned and left on crutches.
The gate of Wu Hou Mansion was also closed again.
Looking at the invitation post that was returned in his hand, Lu Xun asked suspiciously:
"Father, did the old lady refuse to propose marriage?"
Lu Jun shook his head upon hearing this, and said:
"No, if you refuse, I'm afraid the door of Marquis Wu's Mansion will not be opened."
"What's more, the old lady came forward to explain in person, which is enough to show the old lady's attitude towards my Lu family."
"Hey, for now, we can only wait."
…………
Jiangdong, Jianye Palace.
Sun Quan looked at the secret letter in his hand, and he couldn't help feeling dizzy.
This secret letter was sent from the Marquis of Wu's Mansion, and it said that the Lu family came to propose marriage to Sun Shangxiang.
Sun Quan couldn't help feeling worried.
The idea in his heart is to let Sun Shangxiang marry Chen Fan.
But now Lu Xun came out in the middle.
Behind Lu Xun is the Lu family in Jiangdong. The family has a big business and supports him, the Sun family, so they must be taken care of.
But in the bottom of his heart, Sun Quan really didn't want his sister to marry Lu Xun.
After much deliberation, I couldn't come up with a good idea.
He said helplessly:
"Call Zijing into the palace."
Jiangdong, inside Jianye Palace.
Lu Su rushed to Jianye Palace as soon as he received the summons.
After reading the secret letter in his hand, Lu Su couldn't help frowning.
Seeing this, Sun Quan asked:
"Zijing, what are your thoughts on Lu's marriage proposal?"
Lu Su heard the words and said:
"My lord, the Lu family is one of the four noble families in the six counties of Jiangdong. It is a great thing for the son of the Lu family to marry the princess."
"`ˇWe have become relatives with the Lu family, and the lord's influence in Jiangdong is not what it used to be."
Hearing what Lu Su said, Sun Quan shook his head and said:
"Zijing, you know that's not what I want to hear."
Seeing what the lord said, Lu Su could only sigh.
"My lord, this matter is no small matter. It seems that the gentry came to offer a marriage proposal, but in fact, this is a test for the lord by the gentry from Jiangdong."
"They want to see if the lord is still under their control."
"Rather than wanting to marry the Princess, it's better to say that the Lu family wants to expand Jiangdong's territory of power!"
"So, if you can't agree to this next engagement and marriage proposal, then you won't agree!"
Lu Su's words made Sun Quan nod his head.
However, it is easier said than done?
The Lu family has a great business, and now is the time when Cao thief is eyeing him and Jiang Dong is employing people.
It would not be a good thing to offend the gentry at this time.
Lu Su seemed to see the misgivings of the lord, he pondered for a moment, and said:
"My lord, Zijing has a good prescription."
Sun Quan frowned slightly when he heard this, and said:
"Oh? Let's hear it."
"My lord, Cao's army of one million thieves is staring at him right now, and Jiangdong is in a critical moment."
"In addition to the death of General Cheng Pu, Jiang Gan crossed the river again and again to provoke."
"The morale of my Jiangdong officers and men is buoyant, and then declines and exhausts."
"This is the moment when morale is low."
"If you refuse forcibly, then the Lu family (Zhao Zhaohao) will use the low morale as an excuse to celebrate the wedding of the princess."
"If the Lu family uses this as an excuse to respond to everyone, even if they don't want to agree, they can only agree."
Sun Quan couldn't help but become serious when he heard this.
He didn't expect that the matter could develop to such a serious extent.
If this is the case, there is really no room for my sister Shangxiang to return it.
"My lord, I think that the Lu family's marriage proposal can be delayed later."
"The princess is in command of the Jiangdong Detachment Army, practicing every day, and has no time to care about marriage."
"Now that Cao's bandit army is dominating the dragon's plate, it's time to train and strengthen the army."
"If Mrs. Lu comes again, the princess is busy with military affairs and can only delay."
…………
Jiangdong, Wuhou Mansion.
After Wu Guotai said so, the Lu family's team that came to propose marriage returned the same way.
And Sun Shangxiang, who went to pay homage to his sister-in-law Da Qiao in the back mountain, just came back.
As soon as Sun Shangxiang entered the courtyard, she was led by the maid to Wu Guotai's bed.
On the way, Sun Shangxiang asked the maid Wu Guotai what she wanted from her.
But the maidservant just pursed her lips tightly and shook her head in silence.
This attitude made Sun Shangxiang curious.
Mother, what's the matter?
What is it that is so serious?
The maid took Sun Shangxiang to the door of Wu Guotai's bedchamber and left as if fleeing.
Seeing the appearance of the maidservant, Sun Shangxiang pushed open the door suspiciously.
"Mom, why are you looking for me?"
Chapter 83 Sun Shangxiang's Determination
On weekdays, when Sun Shangxiang spoke like this, he would hear Wu Guotai's doting reprimand.
Rebuke Sun Shangxiang for not knowing etiquette, like a boy doll.
But today, after Sun Shangxiang finished speaking, Wu Guotai didn't say a word.
She looked at her daughter seriously.
Sun Shangxiang was even more puzzled by those old eyes that were not cloudy at all.
"close the door."
Wu Guotai said in a flat voice.
Sun Shangxiang nodded noncommittal upon hearing the words.
Turning around and closing the door, he also took off the armor on his body, and moved his shoulders.
Wu Guotai said:
"Today someone brings a thousand taels of gold, twelve boxes of jewels and jade, and a hundred bolts of silk and satin to give you a betrothal gift, and wants to marry you."
Hearing this, Sun Shangxiang was taken aback for a moment.
Then the brows immediately raised.
He didn't even ask which company gave the dowry, the salary of that company took a fancy to him, so he said directly:
"I won't marry!"
Seeing her daughter's resolute denial, Wu Guotai sighed helplessly:
"Hey, the one here to hire is the young master of the Lu family, Lu Xun."
"The Lu family has a prominent family background and is one of the four major noble families in Jiangdong. They are right in line with you."
"In terms of talent and learning, although he is not as good as Zhou Yu and Zhuge, he is slightly inferior to Lu Su. But he is young, and youth is capital."
"With more experiences, Lu Xun can also grow into a minister like Lu Su, who can be used by my Sun family."
"Shang Xiang, you have also reached the age for marriage, why don't you just get married."
Listening to her mother's words, Sun Shangxiang was only surprised.
She opened her mouth and said:
"Mother, it's not that you don't know that I have a sweetheart. My little brother is a hero, what is he, Lu Xun?"
"Lu Xun's body is weak, he can't hold a knife, he can't ride and shoot well."
"Don't you want me to marry a husband and raise a child? From now on, you will be a female celebrity?"
"Mother, you said that Lu Xun's family background is prominent. But I don't care about family at all."
"I only want my little brother alone, even if he is from a poor family, even if he comes from a humble background, it doesn't make any difference to me."
"Born into such a family, I have seen many dirty things."
"What can noble families and wealthy families have?"
"I only want my own happiness!"
"Mother, you said that Lu Xun is talented and capable of growing up."
"But mother, do you know that my little brother is about the same age as Lu Xun, and he can defend Peicheng with five thousand troops against an army of one hundred thousand."
"Mom, compared to my little brother, what does Lu Xun have? How is he worthy of me?"
After saying these words in one go, Sun Shangxiang's clear eyes became extremely cold.
