That's not all.
Sun Ce then happily began to talk about Zhou Yu's family.
Xiao Qiao was exceptionally capable; in less than two years after arriving in Baqiu to accompany Zhou Yu, she had already given birth to a son and a daughter for the Zhou family.
Sun Ce had always wanted to arrange a marriage between the two families' children.
This is perfect!
He married Da Xiong to Zhou Yu's son, and Zhou Yu's youngest daughter to his son.
Sun Ce was also holding his adorable little daughter in his arms with overflowing affection:
"Little Bear, it's not that your father is biased. If there's a suitable one in the future, your father will keep an eye on him for you. The little brother from the Zhou family is your sister's!"
Qiao Jingjing couldn't take it anymore.
Let the wet nurse take her two daughters downstairs to breastfeed.
"They're hungry, need their diapers changed, and should go to sleep."
Wait until the wet nurse takes the baby away.
Sun Ce rushed over and hugged Qiao Jingjing. He had missed her terribly since he hadn't seen her for so long.
Qiao Jingjing only told Sun Ce: "The eldest daughter cannot marry Xiao Qiao's son, but Xiao Qiao's daughter can marry A Shao."
Sun Ce didn't understand it at first.
Then he figured it out and laughed again.
"Why not make it a double blessing between relatives? That's how people are!"
Qiao Jingjing said it was impossible.
How could her daughter marry her sister's son?
Consanguineous marriage seriously violates the principle of the inheritance of genetic recombination advantages.
No, that won't do. What if we have a third-generation idiot? That's unacceptable!
No matter how many times Sun Ce proposed the marriage, Qiao Jingjing refused each time.
The more Qiao Jingjing refused, the more Sun Ce wanted to arrange a marriage for his daughter.
His daughter is his precious darling, and he needs to finalize things as soon as possible.
Because of this, Sun Ce once got into an argument with Qiao Jingjing.
"The Zhou family is refined and cultured, with a strong family tradition. And the other party is your own sister. Why do you disagree? You have never been one to fawn over the powerful and belittle the weak. You have a keen eye for people. Do you think that Zhou Gongjin's official rank is not high enough and does not match our family's prestige?"
Qiao Jingjing was so angry that she wanted to punch Sun Ce on the head.
His daughter's obsession with her was so stubborn.
Fortunately, Sun Quan came to the rescue.
“Brother, Zhou Gongjin’s son is about the same age as my Dahu, they are a perfect match. Since sister-in-law has her concerns, you should give this good marriage to Gongjin’s family to your younger brother.”
Sun Quan's eldest daughter was named Da Hu (Big Tiger), and his youngest daughter was named Xiao Hu (Little Tiger).
They are all tigers, tigers taken to the extreme, with a fierce and unyielding spirit.
Qiao Jingjing was still holding her eldest daughter tightly in her arms.
Sun Ce held his youngest daughter tightly in his arms.
Qiao Jingjing quickly negotiated with Sun Quan: "Okay! Da Hu is to marry A Xun. Your two families should discuss it quickly. When Da Hu gets married, I will prepare the most generous dowry for her."
Sun Ce was forbidden from having any further ideas about this close-kin marriage.
Sun Ce was finally forced to compromise by Qiao Jingjing.
Afterwards, Sun Quan even specifically told his elder brother:
“Brother, for so many years, you have always listened to your sister-in-law’s wishes. Why do you have to argue with her this time? Since your sister-in-law is unwilling, if our Sun family and Gongjin must be related by marriage, then my Dahu can also be related.”
The second son's daughter is just like the eldest son's daughter; she'll marry whoever she wants.
Thus, this little saga of the arranged marriage came to an end.
At that time, when Sun Quan was acting as regent, he recruited a group of talented people, and he also won over a group of people when he attacked Jiangxia in Jingzhou.
This group of scholars gathered together, including Gu Shao and Lu Xun from Wu County, and Zhuge Jin from Nanyang, Jingzhou.
Why didn't Zhuge Liang come?
Qiao Jingjing asked Sun Ce if he had seen Zhuge Jin's younger brother.
Sun Ce said that he went to the thatched cottage in Nanyang and found the family, following Qiao Jingjing's instructions.
The elder brother, Zhuge Jin, was willing to come to Jiangdong to work, while the younger brother, who was tall, handsome, and refined, said that he still had an elderly mother at home, and the two brothers could not both leave.
The reason that one should not travel far from one's parents is quite valid.
Qiao Jingjing understood.
Zhuge Liang was farming in Nanyang, waiting to mourn Liu Bei.
Let's leave that matter aside for now.
When Sun Ce and Sun Quan gathered these people together again to discuss matters of state and governance, they inevitably touched upon the issues of developing agriculture and rational commercialization.
Although the Han Dynasty valued agriculture and suppressed commerce.
However, the government must support reasonable buying and selling among ordinary people and formulate appropriate policies to control prices and protect people's livelihoods and the economy.
Qiao Jingjing had to get involved in these technical issues.
And it is very important.
Qiao Jingjing gave birth to a child that year, but her appearance became more charming and mature.
An interesting soul combined with a beautiful appearance—truly breathtaking.
As soon as Qiao Jingjing appears.
Zhang Zhao is used to it now; his stubborn, rebellious spirit has been worn down by Qiao Jingjing.
Zhang Zhao has already let Qiao Jingjing roam freely in Sun Ce's world.
He acknowledged Qiao Jingjing's abilities, courage, and vision.
The other scholars and literati were also fine.
Everyone still had that composure. Although Wu Hou's wife was younger and excessively beautiful, everyone was civilized and kept their distance. A quick glance was enough, and they were all very polite.
When we talk about matters, we mean discussing them seriously.
But one of them couldn't take it.
He is Lu Xun.
Many years ago, in Lujiang City, Qiao Jingjing was only 16 years old and in the prime of her youth.
Qiao Jingjing's father, Qiao Xuan, personally found her a partner.
However, this connection ended abruptly because Sun Ce suddenly came to besiege Lujiang City.
Lu Xun has not married all these years.
He even took with him a pair of priceless jade bracelets that his mother had left him, which had been passed down from his great-grandfather, and made a special trip back to Lujiang City to find Qiao Jingjing.
