Sun Yi stared at his second brother's face from afar.
His future sister-in-law is pulling his ear right now.
He covered his ears.
"Let go! Let go first!"
Qiao Jingjing let go.
Sun Yi pretended to be in great pain: "You, you're just taking advantage of my older brother's affection for you to bully us like this, aren't you?"
They even turned around and accused Qiao Jingjing.
Qiao Jingjing put her hands on her hips angrily: "I'm bullying you?"
Don't you even look at who's tall and strong?
"Sun Laosan, have you figured out what's going on? You're a bunch of strong men who've come to my house without saying what you're doing! Do you expect me to guess?"
Sun Yi just stared at Qiao Jingjing.
It means, guess! If you can guess it, you're smart.
Qiao Jingjing definitely wouldn't be able to guess.
She had heard that Brother Sun had won the battle this time.
But what does Brother Sun's victory have to do with her? Could it be that Brother Sun, having won the battle, is bringing up the old matter again and coming to her house to propose marriage?
Besides, are these four young men setting up a marriage proposal?
Qiao Jingjing had a lot of thoughts on her mind.
Sun Yi feigned mystery: "Can't guess, can you? Heh, I'm not telling you, I'll keep you guessing."
After saying that, he arrogantly waved his hand and went back to Old Man Qiao, chatting with him for a while, creating a harmonious atmosphere of "the guest follows the host's lead".
Of course, Qiao Manman had already politely poured hot tea for the guests.
This prompted Sun Yi to praise her, saying, "Miss Da Qiao, look at you, you can't compare to Xiao Qiao in this aspect—you're just as gentle and lovely."
The implication is: If she were a little more gentle, obedient, and cute, wouldn't she have become our sister-in-law long ago?
Do we really need to make this business trip at this time of year?
This earned him an unpleasant glare from Qiao Jingjing.
Old Man Qiao, however, appeared very well-mannered: "Da Qiao, what are you doing? Guests have arrived, so you should act like one. Either you stay here and talk nicely with the two generals, or you go to the kitchen and cook a couple of delicious dishes for Miao Miao."
Sun Yi nodded in agreement.
"Yes, I heard you're a great cook. Come on, show off your skills to me and my second brother. We've been fighting for so long, we haven't been home, and we haven't had a decent meal."
Originally, it was all exaggerated, but towards the end, it became a pitiful story that the person hadn't eaten anything good.
Qiao Jingjing then went into the kitchen; she didn't want to see Sun Lao Er and Sun Lao San.
She knew Sun Lao Er was scheming; he must have come with a mission. But she had no idea what this young man was hiding. Did he really have to stay in this house for a few days and observe the Qiao family's daily farming life?
Qiao Jingjing cooked a pot of fish soup herself.
I made another Tai'an fish. I cut the big fish into pieces, marinated it with coarse salt, then coated it with flour and fried it in oil. After frying it, I added broth and simmered it. Finally, I sprinkled a few peppercorns on top. It was very fresh and fragrant.
The only thing missing is chili peppers.
Chili peppers are still on their way to China, and it will be several hundred years before they arrive.
ah.
Speaking of chili peppers, Qiao Jingjing really misses them.
If there are wild chili peppers available locally, that would be great!
But Sun Quan and his brothers thoroughly enjoyed the fish and meat feast.
Everyone says this is an absolutely delicious fish that has healed the minor traumas these guys have experienced over the past few years.
Old Man Qiao even had a few drinks with him.
During the meal, as they introduced themselves, Qiao Jingjing learned that the two brothers next to her were named Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin.
They are all future Tiger Generals of Eastern Wu.
Qiao Jingjing touched her ears.
She guessed:
That day in Lujiang City, Sun Lao Er said, "Brother, let's kill this woman..."
Among the dozen or so black-clad youths watching the commotion, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were definitely among them, and perhaps even Lü Meng from that day.
"Yes! It's absolutely beautiful. Second sister-in-law, you've worked hard, and Miss Da Qiao has been a bother. We've been traveling for a long time and are quite tired. Let's go back to our rooms and rest now."
After eating, the guys really went back to their rooms to rest.
Sun Quan did not mind that it was Da Qiao's boudoir.
They are, after all, ancient people.
Could he really put his foot in one or two ancient, old men?
Doesn't it hurt to twist your ankle?
Qiao Jingjing stood there watching.
Qiao Manman was still beside her, trying to comfort her: "Sister, don't take it to heart. You're the most easygoing person. General Sun and his men aren't that particular about things when they're on campaign. It's good that you're staying with me tonight. I can talk to you about what's on my mind."
Qiao Jingjing looked at Qiao Manman.
She didn't have anything on her mind to say.
She had told her before to forget Zhou Yu, but that little brat hadn't remembered a single word. Her longing for Zhou Yu was practically written all over her face.
During the meal, Sun Quan mentioned Zhou Yu's recent situation, saying that he had returned to guard Danyang and was incredibly brave and invincible, with all the local gentry and bandits in the area greatly admiring him.
Xiao Qiao was captivated by what she heard, her heart fluttering with longing.
"What do you want to tell me from the bottom of your heart?" Qiao Jingjing asked.
"What are you saying!"
Qiao Manman smiled.
"Sister, don't pretend you don't understand. Everyone can see that the two Generals Sun have come to propose marriage to you. This is a rare opportunity! Just between you and me, General Sun has achieved success, but he hasn't forgotten you. He even sent his own brothers to propose marriage. How can you refuse, sister?"
Does it mean to propose marriage?
This is clearly Sun Quan, who deliberately creates mystery and uses stillness to control movement.
Look at those fools in the Qiao family, all of them are just sitting there happily.
What if they weren't here to propose marriage?
“Sister, yes! We girls are shy, we can’t be the first to break the ice. But you shouldn’t be so unfriendly to them. Be more friendly in your conversation, after all, they are guests.”
