This dowry is not easy to manage these days.
We can't just follow along in such a large group.
These brothers all came secretly.
My father is having some difficulty with the dowry issue.
Qiao Jingjing coldly observed the family's behavior, thinking, "Hmph, I'll remember it all."
They can't wait to marry her off, they don't care if she's anxious or not, right?
Qiao Jingjing looked coldly at Sun Quan.
Sun Quan finally pulled out two catties of gold bars from his bag, along with a bag of treasures, pearls, gems, gold hairpins, silver hairpins...
"Old Master Qiao, Miss Qiao, Second Young Master, Third Young Master, Little Miss, Second Sister-in-law! My third brother and I have come here on the orders of our eldest brother. In fact, we have spent a lot of money to hire Miss Qiao to work for General Tian Kou and advise him on how to manage agricultural affairs."
After Sun Quan finished speaking, Sun Yi quickly added to his statement.
“Managing farm affairs is a public matter. There’s another private matter! It’s about the matter between our eldest daughter and our eldest brother. Everyone knows about it, right? You guessed it right. Eldest daughter, can you be a little more straightforward and promise our eldest brother that you will become our sister-in-law? From now on, you will be a good wife and husband, and we will work together to make our lives prosperous. Wouldn’t that be a perfect match?”
A perfect match.
The condition is that Brother Sun doesn't die, and she doesn't become a widow.
But who can guarantee that?
Qiao Jingjing still refused.
She put the entire bag of gold and jewelry back into Sun Quan's arms.
Even if he were Emperor Sun Quan, the future emperor, we would still have to refuse him at this time.
“Go away! I have refused Yuan Shu and Cao Cao. I will also refuse Brother Sun’s kindness. And this bundle of agricultural manuscripts is something I have carefully drawn and arranged. With this manuscript, Brother Sun will have no problem with farming. I don’t need to go to Brother Sun’s side, it won’t make a difference.”
Sun Yi stared at Qiao Jingjing, looking at the stack of manuscripts in her hand.
He desperately wanted to drag this person back right then and there.
Just like how his father snatched his mother back then, so direct and effective, wasn't it?
"You...you...you, who spoiled you so much that you're so lawless? Do you want me to say something harsh?"
Sun Quan quickly pulled Sun Yi back.
I can't say anything more.
Qiao Jingjing's reply was exactly what Sun Quan expected. Could someone who dared to refuse Yuan Shu and Cao Cao so easily agree to our brother's request?
It's estimated that Brother Sun will have to use his fists to win over this Miss Qiao and bring his troops back with him.
Sun Quan smiled.
"Please consider this carefully, Miss Da Qiao. There's no rush. We can talk about it when we have time."
Sun Quan left with his men, remarking before departing that the food at the Qiao family's residence was excellent. He said that he had felt very comfortable and relaxed during his stay at the Qiao family's residence, and that he hadn't had such a leisurely life in a long time.
They sent Sun Quan and his men away.
The Qiao family is about to give Qiao Jingjing a good scolding.
Everyone thought Qiao Jingjing was ungrateful.
They are so ungrateful! Two pounds of gold! They refused it once, then again, and then once more. Yuan Shu refused it, Cao Cao refused it, and now even Sun Ce has refused it.
Is this going to the heavens?
Qiao Er was the first to speak up.
“Sister, I don’t usually like to say this. I respect you and know how much you’ve worried about our family. I’m so grateful for helping me find Miaomiao. But sister, my gratitude isn’t like this. You have such a good family to marry into, why don’t you marry into it? What are you waiting for at home? Are you waiting for the emperor? Sister, your brothers don’t expect you to marry the emperor! You have such a good family like General Sun’s, so please agree to it, okay?”
Qiao San followed suit.
"Sister, we've watched you get older every day, haven't you noticed? Dad's hair has turned gray from all the stress you've put on him, and you still haven't found someone for Xiao Qiao. It's really not right. Tell me, what kind of person are you looking for?"
Faced with pressure from her two younger brothers.
Qiao Jingjing looked up at the sky.
What kind of person is she looking for?
She just wanted to be with one person for life, grow old together, and have a harmonious marriage.
If she were like the people here, unaware of Sun Ce's later fate, and only saw that he was a handsome man who was now capable and skilled, making a living by fighting battles, wouldn't she be eager to join him?
She refused to believe that she could only marry Sun Ce, not Sun Ce.
It doesn't matter that Qiao Jingjing rejected Sun Ce.
Despite the Qiao family's scathing complaints, she ignored them and continued living her life as if nothing had happened.
He's more thick-skinned than her, and his mental fortitude is much higher.
But Sun Ce couldn't wait.
After hearing Zhang Zhao's words, Madam Wu took her sons' marriages very seriously.
Madam Wu sent her three sons, who were away fighting, to patrol their wives.
Her eldest son married into the Gu family of Fuling; her second son married a girl from the Xie family; and her third son married a girl from the Xu family.
These three girls came from good families and were well-mannered; the more she looked at them, the more pleasing they became.
At a critical moment, Lady Wu also followed the example of Sun Jian's actions back then.
It doesn't matter if the sons aren't home; let's bring their wives to live with us first. When the sons come to pick her up next time, won't the sons and daughters-in-law be reunited?
So, Sun Ce heard from Qu'a, a long way away, that his mother had found him a wife, and that he also had two younger brothers' wives.
After Sun Quan and Sun Yi returned, the brothers sat together to discuss matters big and small.
No one talks about Qiao Jingjing anymore.
No one mentioned the wife they had never met.
It's just an arrangement by one's parents. In this day and age, who can disobey their parents' wishes? If you've already done it, then so be it.
