What a grand style! Yu Zhu probably thought that this was the kind of air that young ladies from wealthy families should have around them.
She thought of things that her mistress couldn't have imagined.
She did what her mistress dared not do.
But little did she know that the fierce man in front of her would one day be the one who could kill Guan Yu.
Lu Meng stood there, holding the sword in his hand, ignoring her.
Confucius said, "Only petty men and women should not be bothered with."
Lü Meng kept this in mind.
But Yu Zhu was aggressive and came forward to pull Lü Meng away, trying to knock him out.
Lu Meng didn't even draw his knife; he simply flicked his sleeve and threw the jade bamboo out of the house.
He stood by the door, looking at the jade bamboo:
"Enough with the chatter! I've been here all this time, and all I've seen is you and that old lady making a racket. You can't understand human language. From now on, I, Lü Meng, will protect Miss Qiao personally! Wherever Miss Qiao is, I will be there. This is the last time I'm saying this! You, a mere maid, can go somewhere cool and stay there!"
Yu Zhu couldn't stand being scolded by Lü Meng.
She has been bought into this household for almost a year.
Aside from the old lady being in a bad mood and wanting to scold her, no one dared to scold her.
Because the old lady mostly scolded the two young ladies, she never said a harsh word to a maid like her.
Yu Zhu knew that this was called the refinement of a noblewoman.
"What!
I'll just stay wherever it's cool.
You must have made a mistake! I am Miss's personal maid, and only someone of my status is allowed to enter Miss's room!
You...you're a grown man, a real man, is it appropriate for you to be standing in a young lady's room?
If this gets out, our young lady will have no choice but to drown herself.
"The only option left is to drown myself!"
This Yuzhu stood in the courtyard, and it had quite a loud voice.
Qiao Jingjing has already washed her face and combed her hair.
Qiao Manman shook her head at the sound of Yu Zhu outside.
“Brother Lü, those girls are so noisy, they're always like this, it's because my mother spoils them. Just ignore them, they'll be better off if you don't pay attention to them, but if you argue with them, they'll think they're right.”
A little while later, she turned to our mother and complained again, and my sister and I were going to get scolded again.
Our mother is the one from earlier.
Lü Zhuangshi, you don't know our mother, do you? Actually, she's quite pitiful.
In those years, she was separated from us on our escape. My father took care of the four of us siblings. Although it was hard and bumpy, at least we were still a family and could take care of each other. Our mother suffered a lot on her own. Now her temperament has changed drastically, and she gets angry easily.
In addition, my sister and I have had a lot of trouble getting married in the past two years, and we are known far and wide as a notorious troublemaker. No one comes to our house to propose marriage, and even when we go out of our way to propose, we are rejected by everyone.
My mother was already in poor health, and these things made it even more unbearable for her.
so!
"So I'm taking it out on you two girls!"
Lu Mengzhen felt sorry for the two girls.
"Miss Qiao, young Miss Qiao, from now on you can call me Ameng. I will be your orderly and bodyguard!"
Qiao Jingjing could only nod.
What could she say?
If she wanted to say something to thank Lü Meng or Sun Ce at this moment, wouldn't she be getting into character?
Speaking of getting into character, she was crying so hard just now; she was really into the role.
She and Sun Ce.
She was caught up in the ups and downs of the chaotic late Eastern Han Dynasty, and before she knew it, she was completely immersed in the drama.
Since Lü Meng settled in the Qiao family, he has always had time to talk to the Qiao sisters about Sun Ce's situation.
It is said that after Sun Ce left Lujiang City and returned to Yuan Shu's side, he suffered grievances under Yuan Shu. Sun Ce seized the opportunity to go south, and together with his uncle Wu Jing and cousin Sun Ben, he attacked Liu Yao, occupied Qu'a, then attacked Wang Lang in Kuaiji, and finally firmly occupied the area of Kuaiji and Qu'a, becoming the governor of Kuaiji.
The twists and turns in between.
“Miss Qiao, the general has really had a tough time these past few years. Unlike Zhou Yu, who had his father and uncles protecting him, every inch of the general's territory and every man he had was earned through his own hard work. From the moment we left Lujiang City, the general had more than 5,000 men by his side, but when he returned to Yuan Shu's side, his men had all scattered, leaving only a few hundred.”
Miss Qiao, you may not know this, but Amon does. This is how people's hearts gather and disperse in chaotic times; they only add to the glory. When you become powerful, you can't stop those who come to enjoy the good fortune. But when you're in trouble, they all turn their backs on you.
Miss Qiao, if you had stayed in Lujiang City and followed our general, he wouldn't have suffered so much all these years.
Of course, you shouldn't have had to suffer all this injustice all these years.
As Lü Meng spoke these words, Qiao Manman shed tears beside him.
Yes, if her elder sister had left with General Sun that year, even if her mother had returned later, her mother wouldn't have been so angry about it.
Qiao Jingjing, however, was able to console herself.
She seemed very open-minded.
“Amon, it’s all fate. There are no ifs! It doesn’t matter whether General Sun has me by his side or not. I’m just a weak woman who can’t even kill a chicken. You can ask me to farm, raise chickens and ducks, or raise dozens of pigs. I’m good at that. But you can’t be my brother Sun’s right-hand men, helping him devise strategies and helping him conquer the world. You guys are great. You, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, and Sun Quan and Sun Yi, you are his right-hand men.”
Qiao Manman, however, was very interested in Zhou Yu's current situation.
I tried to ask several times, but Lü Meng and Qiao Jingjing got along so well that I didn't get the chance.
