As soon as Zhang Zhao entered, he spoke words that struck a chord with Sun Ce.
Sun Ce's answer also reflected his honesty and self-reflection.
"yes!"
Zhang Zhao was speechless.
But he didn't want to give up.
“Bo Fu, I’ve told you before, that woman… she’s not a good match, she really isn’t a good match. Believe me, Zhang Zibu, I’ve suffered more losses than you’ve killed, I’ve crossed more bridges than you’ve walked roads. Don’t worry, I’m good at judging people!”
To be honest, this girl is indeed beautiful and cute, and her style of speaking and acting is quite unique. Unlike most of the pretty-faced but brainless girls you know around you. On this point, I admit this girl is very special.
You, Bo Fu, are an outstanding man, a brave and heroic figure. You truly need a woman who is worthy of you.
But Bofu, think about it. There are plenty of good girls in the world. We don't need to hang ourselves on this one vine. Think about it, she's a woman who rarely leaves her home. A few years ago, Lujiang City was under Lu Kang's jurisdiction. It seemed peaceful, but in reality, there were definitely plenty of petty thefts and thieves. The fact that she was able to make such a name for herself in her family's mulberry garden and fishpond shows that she's not a simple person!
Now that Liu Xun has become the Prefect of Lujiang, didn't you say that when you met her at Lu Kang's house, she was being chased by Liu Xun's daughter and had nowhere to hide, so she hid in the stable, and you happened to save her? Despite having such a grudge against Liu Xun, she is still being valued by him and appointed as an agricultural official, giving lectures to so many men.
Bo Fu, do you think this is right? No, it's wrong!
This woman is almost like a demon!
I said she was a femme fatale, but she didn't agree.
"Do you believe me, Bo Fu, that she's a demon reincarnated?"
Of course, our Brother Sun Bofu didn't believe it.
Zhang Zhao's honest remonstrance was ignored by Sun Ce, who responded with a tolerant smile.
"Zibu, please give Miss Qiao a chance. I believe you will like her."
After hearing this, Zhang Zhao was speechless for a long time.
Zhang Zhao returned to his room, the Chief Secretary's room. He thought about it for a long time and felt that there was nothing he could do about it.
If Sun Quan and Sun Yi could bring Qiao Jingjing back to Qu'a, then Sun Ce's harem would be in her hands from now on.
This woman is capable of anything, and Zhang Zhao can't stop her at all. The key is that Sun Bofu trusts her.
Zhang Zhao thought about it seriously and concluded that there was probably only one person in the world who could handle Qiao Jingjing.
Therefore, Zhang Zibu personally went to see Sun Ce's elderly mother, Lady Wu.
I won't go into the bizarre love story of this Mrs. Wu and her husband, Mr. Sun Jian.
Whether Lady Wu was happy or not after being taken home by the formidable Sun Jian is unknown, but she did have a brood of children.
After Sun Jian's death, Lady Wu devoted herself to raising her four children, truly an excellent mother.
Sun Ce and his brothers went to work for Yuan Shu, and Lady Wu often lived in fear.
Previously in Qu'a, because Qu'a was under Liu Yao's jurisdiction, Liu Yao, with the mind of a petty person, feared that Sun Ce would come to attack and occupy the territory, and instead turned against Sun Ce's uncle Wu Jing and cousin Sun Ben.
Mrs. Wu was almost threatened with her life.
Fortunately, Wu Jing and his wife had a deep sibling bond, and Wu Jing was the first to react by moving his wife to Liyang.
When Sun Ce, Wu Jing, and Sun Ben joined forces, they decided to attack Qu'a and moved Lady Wu to Fuling.
Zhang Zhao and Madam Wu had met a few times.
This Mrs. Wu was graceful and serene, and had a great sense of the big picture in her work.
Lady Wu often asked Zhang Zhao to teach Sun Ce well, and asked Zhang Zhao not to stoop to the level of these young men because their father died early and they lacked proper upbringing. She also asked Zhang Zhao to give them more guidance on important matters.
Zhang Zhao often felt that he was entrusted with a great responsibility.
He personally went to Fuling and spoke with Lady Wu about Sun Ce and He Da Qiao.
Of course, he wouldn't say how outstanding Qiao Jingjing was. Zhang Zhao would only mention her merits briefly, such as that she was pretty and had some cleverness and cuteness.
Zhang Zhao emphasized that this girl was not suitable to be the principal wife of our General Who Annihilates Bandits.
"This girl is too cunning. If I marry her, there will definitely be chaos and unrest in the house all day long."
Madam Wu took Zhang Zhao's words very seriously.
Her eldest son was always busy fighting in the war. She knew that her eldest son had a hard time, so she didn't secretly talk about getting him married or urging him to have children as soon as possible. Unlike many mothers at the time, she only wanted to support her son.
As it turned out, after hearing what Zhang Zhao said...
This is a serious matter.
A good daughter-in-law can bring prosperity to three generations of a family.
"Is what Zibu said true? Is my Bofu really being swayed by such a woman?"
Zhang Zhao nodded.
Mrs. Wu thought for a moment.
“This is strange! Zibu, my son went out to fight, and his mother stayed at home worrying and praying all day long, but I forgot to find him a wife.”
It's my fault! I was just saying that my son is away most of the year, and after marrying this woman, we only see her every two or three years, and we didn't even have time to have a wedding, which delayed the girl's life. It seems that I was indeed wrong.
In that case, Zibu, you may go back now.
You did the right thing. Just because Bo Fu doesn't like something doesn't mean you should tell him things he likes. I'll arrange his marriage. I'll choose a knowledgeable and well-mannered girl for him from among the families I know.”
Zhang Zhao met with Madam Wu and happily returned home.
