Sun Ce pulled Qiao Jingjing over and gagged her.
Forgive past grievances.
That doesn't mean you can covet his wife.
Sun Ce hugged his wife and kissed her passionately.
Qiao Jingjing's face flushed red.
It was as if she had really done something wrong.
Qiao Jingjing pushed Sun Ce away.
"Suit yourself, do whatever you want. It's none of my business. I didn't take their money, and I didn't use their people. I don't care anymore! If you're jealous, go ahead!"
Qiao Jingjing went out with a flushed face.
Sun Ce savored the soft, tender taste in his mouth.
Was he jealous?
Will he be jealous of Lu Xun?
later.
Sun Ce was truly generous in inviting talented young people like Lu Xun, Gu Shao, and Zhuge Jin to his residence as guests.
As the matriarch and sister-in-law of the Hou family, Qiao Jingjing personally presided over the reception ceremony.
Sun Ce acted like a true host, not giving Lu Xun any hard time, and treated him, Gu Shao, and Zhuge Jin the same way.
They also asked them what difficulties they were facing in their lives.
Zhuge Jin is already married, and his wife is pregnant.
Qiao Jingjing later gave Zhuge Jin some baby supplies and maternity clothes and bedding.
Lu Xun and Gu Shao were not yet married.
Sun Ce then asked Gu Shao what kind of woman he wanted to marry, and whether he needed Gu Shao to act as a matchmaker or help propose marriage.
He has the demeanor of a leader.
With Sun Ce's current influence, who in the entire Jiangdong region would dare to disrespect him?
Both young people had the demeanor of youth.
Gu Shao said, "With the affairs of the nation and the people not yet settled, how can one think of a home?"
Lu Xun said, "Jiangdong is in dire need of manpower right now. If you have a family, it will only be a burden. It's better to be alone and carefree."
Knowing that the two young men were just joking around, Sun Ce said that his cousin's family had several nieces who were of marriageable age.
Lu Xun and Young Master Gu refused.
They said that the young ladies of the Sun family were beyond their reach, and that they, as poor scholars, had not achieved anything and were ashamed to be worthy of such a title.
Sun Quan was standing nearby.
He kept an eye on Lu Xun the whole time for his older brother.
oh!
He dared not marry the Sun family's daughter, yet he dared to covet the Sun family's matriarch!
You've got guts, kid.
Sun Quan then began to toast the three young men enthusiastically.
Let's all drink up. After a few drinks, ask the questions again.
Zhuge Jin wasn't a good drinker. He got so drunk that his face turned red and his tongue was tied in knots. He talked about his time studying with his younger brother Zhuge Liang in Jingzhou, and also about the dangers they encountered when they went to Yuzhang with their father Zhuge Xuan. Then he got dizzy and fell asleep.
Gu Shao had a better alcohol tolerance and drank very happily with Sun Quan, talking about his ambitions for his country and his family.
He lamented the chaos and disorder in the world, the decline of the Han Dynasty, and the suffering of the people.
What about Lu Xun?
He refused to let Sun Quan and Sun Ce come to drink with him.
He picked up his wine glass, pouring and drinking one glass after another, his eyes vacant and empty.
In the end, both Gu Shao and Sun Quan got drunk.
Sun Ce simply got drunk as well.
Qiao Jingjing was also in charge of hosting the banquet.
Lu Xun raised his wine glass, stood up unsteadily, and walked unsteadily to Qiao Jingjing.
"Lord Wu is already drunk. Let me help you take him back to his room... You can't move him, let me do it!"
Lu Xun is a very honest young man.
Sun Ce was taller and stronger than him, and he was someone who had fought battles and practiced iron lifting and spear fighting for many years.
Lu Xun, fueled by alcohol, managed to lift Sun Ce off the table and hoist him onto his shoulder, all because Qiao Jingjing couldn't move Sun Ce and he was helping her.
Qiao Jingjing asked Lu Xun several times to put Sun Ce down.
She was afraid that Lu Xun might lose his footing and drop Sun Ce on the ground.
Lu Xun insisted on delivering it.
"No! I'm not drunk, I can walk steadily, and I'm still very strong!"
Don't worry!
I won't hurt him!
I would never intentionally drop him!
I, Lu Xun, am an upright and honorable gentleman who knows right from wrong!
He stole my fiancée, drove our Lu family out of Lujiang City... He's my enemy.
hehe.
It was he who quelled the chaos in Jiangdong.
Da Qiao, as long as you're doing well and happy..."
Lu Xun staggered as he carried Sun Ce into his main room, put him on the bed, and thoughtfully covered him with a blanket.
Lu Xun stepped back two steps, letting Ling Tong and Lü Meng come up and take over.
Lu Xun was a little unsteady on his feet. He leaned against the doorpost of Sun Ce's main house, barely able to see Qiao Jingjing's face.
He was drunk.
He wasn't completely drunk.
There is still right and wrong, and morality in their minds.
And his beliefs and concerns.
"Da Qiao, you must take good care of yourself and be happy forever! Sun Ce will help you conquer Jiangdong, and I will help you govern it well!"
From now on, you shall live peacefully in Jiangdong.
Fear not the chaos and strife of this world! I will never let you wander aimlessly! Whether it's Cao Cao or Yuan Shao in the north, or any other demons and monsters...
Don't worry!
Thump!
Lu Xun collapsed headfirst.
Fortunately, there was a carpet on the floor of Sun Ce's room, otherwise his head would have been smashed open.
Qiao Jingjing beckoned to Lü Meng and asked him to carry the drunk man back home.
She then had Ling Tong move Sun Ce from his main house to her room.
Sun Ce was an eccentric.
If he wakes up tomorrow morning and finds that he is not living in Qiao Jingjing's room, he will definitely make a scene with Qiao Jingjing.
Qiao Jingjing lit the lamp.
After looking at his daughters and Ah Shao, let's turn our attention back to Sun Ce.
Sun Ce was already asleep.
Qiao Jingjing went to read a book by the window for a while.
