Sun Ce turned around and ran into the house, carefully took out a piece of Cai Hou paper, and wrote a few seal characters:
I have long admired you, my beloved; when will you fulfill your promise?
To put it bluntly, I've liked you for a long time. You told me before that you would do my laundry, cook for me, and have my children. When are you going to keep that promise?
Sun Ce then handed this domineering love letter to his second son, Sun Quan.
Sun Lao Er is best suited to do this kind of thing.
The second brother is the most cunning and scheming. He believes his younger brother can be a great help to him.
Qiao Jingjing and her father had just returned home.
The house was a complete mess. Qiao Manman and Qiao San were too busy to manage. Even Uncle Peng, who had broken his leg, struggled to lie on the ground, using only his two hands to carefully arrange the chicken and duck eggs.
Without saying a word, Qiao Jingjing rolled up her sleeves and started working.
She even interrupted He Miaomiao and Qiao Er's sweet talk, completely oblivious to their romantic feelings.
"You can talk about this in your rooms later! For now, let's get to work, move the furniture and supplies around, put what needs to be put in the warehouse in the warehouse, and put what needs to be put in the garden in the garden!"
Qiao Jingjing thought about the other thing.
In such chaotic times, she still had to raise a few Tibetan mastiffs in the mulberry orchard and a pair of Chinese rural dogs in front of her house.
I'll ask a friend I know to bring the Tibetan Mastiff from Sichuan and Tibet in a couple of days.
Sun Quan, accompanied by Sun Yi and Lü Meng, had already entered.
"Miss Qiao, here is a letter for you!"
Under the watchful eyes of the Qiao family, Sun Quan handed the letter, filled with his elder brother's heartfelt thoughts, to Qiao Jingjing.
Qiao Jingjing took it in her hand without thinking much about it.
It's just that when she was in college, she only received love confession text messages, never paper love letters.
No experience!
She told Sun Quan that she had received the letter, but because her house was in a mess, she would not invite them to stay for dinner.
But Sun Quan showed no intention of leaving.
He stood there humbly and said, "Miss Qiao, please be busy. I'll wait here. If you need a reply, please let me deliver it to you."
Do I still need to reply?
Is it urgent?
Qiao Jingjing thought that Sun Ce must have some agricultural and commercial details he didn't understand and asked her for help.
Qiao Jingjing didn't stand on ceremony anymore and opened the letter in front of the Qiao family, reading it with everyone.
Because she was reading it secretly by herself, she couldn't understand it.
When Old Man Qiao saw the contents of the letter, his face turned completely red.
Qiao San looked at it, not quite believing it, so he read it aloud.
"I have long admired you, my beloved; when will you fulfill your promise?"
The sisters all knew that their eldest sister was smart, but she wasn't very good at recognizing characters and her literacy skills were insufficient.
Qiao San then enthusiastically translated for his sister again, making sure she could understand.
"This letter means that General Sun has liked you for a long time. He asks, sister, when will you fulfill your promise to General Sun? Sister, what promises have you made to General Sun?"
"yes!"
"Sister, General Sun is now waiting for your reply!"
Qiao Jingjing saw a room full of people, including her father, her younger brother and sister, Sun Quan, Sun Yi, and others, all eagerly awaiting her reply.
Qiao Jingjing's face wasn't red at all.
Sun Quan waited for a while, and seeing that Qiao Jingjing had no intention of replying with a letter, he came up with a plan.
“Miss Qiao, if you have anything you want to say to my elder brother, we can pass it on to you.”
After saying this, Sun Quan exchanged a glance with Old Man Qiao.
What a cunning old man Sun is!
After thinking carefully for a moment, Qiao Jingjing said fearlessly, "I have nothing to say to Brother Sun. You can go back now."
This maneuver left Sun Laosan somewhat bewildered.
"You... Miss Qiao, what do you mean? Didn't you understand what our brother said? Are you... are you not thinking straight, or are you just too proud? What is our brother doing? He's trying to be polite first, then use force. Don't you understand..."
What followed was not pleasant to hear.
To prevent Sun Yi from saying anything unpleasant, Sun Quan quickly dragged his third brother away.
The Qiao family members were left standing there, each with their own thoughts.
Finally, the siblings all looked at Old Man Joe.
Old Man Joe looked at his youngest children, but in the end, he could only look at his eldest daughter.
Although this happened somewhat suddenly, in Old Man Joe's eyes, it was indeed a joyous occasion. Right?
General Sun personally came to propose marriage!
No, it was General Sun who wrote a personal letter, asking his brothers to come and propose marriage.
Yes, since it's a marriage proposal, why didn't you bring any gifts?
Sun Lao Er and Sun Lao San had already returned to the mansion at full speed. When Sun Da Ge saw his two younger brothers return, he was eagerly waiting for their reply.
Sun Quan's reply to his elder brother was:
"Brother, this is my fault! It was our fault for not clarifying things properly. How could we forget to give gifts when we went to propose marriage?"
Sun Quan and Sun Yi quickly gathered a lot of gifts, filling a cart with them in large and small baskets.
Then, they hurriedly delivered the entire cart to the Qiao family's doorstep and handed it over to Old Man Qiao with a friendly and respectful expression.
Then, Sun Zhongmou was very patient: "Uncle Qiao, there's no rush. Take your time to think it over. You and the young lady can discuss it properly. There's no rush!"
When they returned to Brother Sun, Sun Lao Er said, "Brother, the entire Qiao family has received your good intentions! We have also sent betrothal gifts according to local customs. Now we are just waiting for their reply."
Should we wait for their reply?
