286 In the Dark(1/2)
It's Christmas, I wish you all a happy holiday
Last night was a special day, and countless women who had a dream of the Virgin Mary fought with their boyfriends. Bei Jingai was fighting wildly, of course, more infatuated men and women may just be with the mentality of joining in the fun.
We bachelors have to entertain themselves because they have suffered.
However, it can be said that small masturbation is enjoyable, large masturbation is harmful to the body, and forced masturbation is destroyed...
Everyone must be careful. Keep the green mountains there before there is firewood
Remember, remember
Of course the sky has not collapsed.
However, the news brought back by the maid was even more shocked to Sun Shangxiang than the sky fell.
This is not only because Sun Shangxiang never thought of getting married, but also because, subconsciously, she already had the most suitable candidate to stay together for life. However, the two sides were enemies and the status differences were huge, which made Sun Shangxiang feel confused and hopeless.
Even so, Sun Shangxiang could never accept that her father would marry her to others. At least, this was the case before the hopelessness in her heart turned into despair.
As for who is the most suitable candidate in Sun Shangxiang's mind, I believe everyone knows it very well.
Since everyone knows it very well, I won’t go into details about the heavy armor.
Shocked, Sun Shangxiang hurriedly asked the maid about her father Sun Jian and said nothing else. The maid's head was like a rattle; she did hear only one sentence at that time, and then she left Sun Jian's bedroom.
The maid finished the big thing quickly and breathed a sigh of relief, but made Sun Shangxiang so anxious that she was restless. She walked back and forth in the room several times, sat down beside the bed and stood up several times, and finally decided to see her father.
Then he walked out of the courtyard where he lived alone and rushed to the main room where Sun Jian was.
At this time, Sun Quan and others had already left. Sun Jian told everyone that he should stay quiet for a while and think about it carefully.
After all, Sun Shangxiang is his only baby daughter. She has been pampering since she was a child. She is really afraid of being scared when she holds it in her mouth, and afraid of being melted. If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have developed Sun Shangxiang's willful and willful temper.
Now, he has to use this precious daughter as a bargaining chip in exchange for the generals and ministers in Jiangdong to be safe and worry-free in the future, which makes Sun Jian uneasy.
He had to think about it carefully, think about whether this proposal was appropriate, think about how Wu Fan's character would make Xiang'er angry, and think about how he should tell his daughter about this...
It was at this time that Sun Shangxiang came to Sun.
When he saw his father, Sun Shangxiang shed tears before she could speak. Just like a child who was compromised, he pouted and threw himself into Sun Jian's arms and sobbed:
"Father, why did you marry your child? Did the child do something wrong?"
Sun Jian was stunned by Sun Shangxiang's words, and asked while holding Sun Shangxiang's trembling shoulders:
"Who said this to you?"
Of course, Sun Shangxiang would not give up her close maid and twisted her body to show her dissatisfaction:
"Don't worry about this, please answer your child quickly, are you going to marry him?"
On such a lifelong event, Sun Jian certainly would not deceive his daughter. After pondering for a while, Sun Jian sighed and nodded:
"Yes, for the father... I want to marry you out."
When Sun Shangxiang heard this, she burst into tears. She hugged Sun Jian and refused to support her, doing her best to act coquettishly and willful in front of her parents.
Seeing his daughter like this, Sun Jian felt sad and touched Sun Shangxiang's head lovingly, and was speechless for a long time.
However, this is related to whether many generals and ministers in Jiangdong can live a good life in Cao's camp. Therefore, after repeated weighing the pros and cons, Sun Jian had to do the psychological work of his daughter.
Touching Sun Shangxiang's head, Sun Jian said sadly:
"Xiang'er, you are not young anymore, you are already at the age of getting married. If you can make a relationship with him, you will not only fulfill your parents' wishes, but also help the generals and ministers in Jiangdong find a reliable backer so that they will not be framed by villains. What's more..."
"Father"
Sun Shangxiang interrupted Sun Jian with a cry and said:
"Don't care, the child will never marry his father. Do you have the heart to make the child feel depressed and crying all day long? If that's the case, then father, just marry the child out."
Once this is said, it is probably difficult for any father in the world to make up his mind, not to mention that Sun Jian is extremely fond of his only daughter, so he is naturally even more embarrassed.
However, when he thought of the many Jiangdong generals who followed him to fight south and north, Sun Jian had to persuade him again:
"Xiang'er, don't be willful. You have to know that this is related to many followers of our Sun family..."
"I don't care, I don't care, I don't care..."
Sun Shangxiang covered her ears and refused to listen to Sun Jian's persuasion at all.
In desperation, Sun Jian had to sigh, touch Sun Shangxiang's head, and said with infinite affection:
"Okay, it's no longer difficult for you for your father. I'll call on the ministers to discuss it and think about whether there is any other way. In fact, I thought that Wu Fan's conditions in all aspects were quite good, if you marry... Forget it, I won't mention this matter anymore, I won't mention it."
However, what Sun Jian did not expect was that after hearing him say this, Sun Shangxiang not only stopped crying immediately, but also raised her head and looked at Sun Jian with a seemingly unbelievable look and asked tentatively:
"Father, you just said...Who are you going to marry your daughter?"
Sun Jian felt that his daughter's reaction was very strange, but he didn't think much about it and replied casually:
"Wu Fan. It's the governor of the Second Corps of the Cao Army, Wu Fan and Wu Mengxuan are the same."
Sun Jian thought Sun Shangxiang didn't know who Wu Fan was, so he explained it in detail.
Sun Shangxiang was shocked and subconsciously covered her mouth with her hands, staying for a long time.
Under Sun Jian's gaze in confusion, Sun Shangxiang blushed and her eyes dodged her father's gaze, as if she was worried that her father would see through her thoughts, and she whispered:
"Father, you just said that as long as your daughter agrees to this marriage, many generals and ministers who follow our Sun family will be able to live their lives, right?"
Sun Jian nodded and said:
"yes."
Sun Shangxiang stammered for a while and said:
"I just thought about it carefully. Since this marriage is so important, I should not be willful, so that many generals and ministers will be hung high. Everything... is determined by my father, and I... will never complain."
This time it was Sun Jian's turn to be shocked. He carefully observed Sun Shangxiang several times, and asked in disbelief:
"Xiang'er said so, did she agree to this marriage?"
Under the gaze of his father Sun Jian, Sun Shangxiang's face turned red like blood, with anger and resentment, joy and shame. Finally, she had to stand up to avoid Sun Jian's gaze, and stomped her feet and said:
"Father, you still have to ask, you know everything. It's so embarrassing."
After leaving this sentence, Sun Shangxiang hurriedly ran out.
Sun Jian was left as he watched his daughter leave for a long time and shook his head and smiled.
...
Let’s talk about Wu Fan, who stayed in the inn for a long time, waiting for Sun Jian’s response.
In fact, diplomatic envoys can leave the city directly after conveying the monarch's willingness to surrender, without having to stay in the city.
After staying in the inn for a long time, Wu Fan really had the idea of leaving the city.
At this moment, the civil servant came to inform Wu Fan to go to the main hall of the palace to attend the banquet, and said that Lord Sun Jian would personally preside over the banquet.
Wu Fan quickly thought about it and felt that there would be no problem with the banquet. Moreover, it was a banquet hosted by Sun Jian while he was sick, so he should not refuse it if he was in a reasonable manner.
Therefore, Wu Fan agreed and followed the civil servant to the main palace of the palace for the second time.
At this time, the main hall of the palace city was already full of tables, which were typical single tables, equipped with a cushion, one set for each person. Almost all the civil and military officials in Jiangdong were present. Pang Tong was absent. Seeing Wu Fan coming in, everyone bowed to Wu Fan at the same time. Wu Fan held his fists and returned them left and right. Under the guidance of the civil servant, he came to the seat below the master Sun Jian.
When he saw Sun Jian, Wu Fan could not help but show him politely again. Sun Jian returned the tribute with a smile. Then, Wu Fan sat down.
Wu Fan and Sun Jian’s relationship is somewhat tortuous.
When Sun Jian was attacked by Hua Xiong at Hulao Pass at night, it was thanks to Wu Fan, who rode alone to turn the tide and kill and repel many generals under Dong Zhuo. Only then did Sun Jian's army not disperse and flee, and he saved his face in front of many princes.
As a result, Sun Jian, including many old ministers under Sun Jian's subordinates, was quite grateful to Wu Fan.
However, the world situation was unpredictable. After Wu Fan joined Cao Cao's tent, he fought fiercely with Sun Jian's army who was intending to dominate the Central Plains in Pengcheng. In that battle, Wu Fan defeated Sun Jian's army with his weak forces, seriously injured several famous generals under Sun Jian's tent, and snatched Sun Jian's Yanyu over.
After this battle in Pengcheng, Sun Jian and the generals under the tent were very afraid of Wu Fan. When they heard Wu Fan's name, they were shocked. Fortunately, Wu Fan was quickly promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Second Corps since then, and his main attack direction was in the north and northwest. It was not until this year that he turned to attack the Jingxiang area. He had little battle with Sun Jian's army, so naturally he had no hatred.
As a local prince, especially a general himself, Sun Jian was afraid of Wu Fan, who was extremely powerful, and even more deeply loved him. During the Battle of Pengcheng, Wu Fan once fought against Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and Han Dang alone. At that time, Sun Jian thought that Wu Fan would inevitably be unable to resist, so he comforted Wu Fan with pity and hoped that Wu Fan would join his tent.
However, Wu Fan refused him righteously and injured Huang Gai and the other three. This surprised Sun Jian. At the same time, his jealousy towards Cao Cao, who was able to receive Wu Fan's loyal assistance, was even more unparalleled.
Now, after many years, Sun Jian's complex mood is imaginable. When he thought of his only precious daughter, he would marry Wu Fan, Sun Jian couldn't help but look at the candidate who was about to become his future son-in-law. The more he looked at him, the more he felt satisfied, and the more he liked him.
In particular, his daughter also has a special liking for Wu Fan, and nothing more gratifying to Sun Jian than this. It is said that no one knows a daughter than a mother, but for this daughter who has loved to dance with guns and sticks since childhood, Sun Jian’s understanding of her daughter is no less than that of her mother.
As a result, Sun Jian was shocked by Sun Shangxiang's inconsistent performance.
During the time when Sun Jian frequently looked at Wu Fan, the waiters served wine and food one after another, and were very busy. Soon, dozens of tables were filled with steaming delicious dishes and fine wine, making the entire hall full of the aroma of dishes and wine.
These generals and ministers in Jiangdong, Wu Fan, did not have no friendship with anyone. Gan Ning, Taishi Ci, Huang Gai and other military generals had dealt with Wu Fan, and their friendship was deep or shallow. In addition, they were ashamed and grateful to Wu Fan and Ling Tong, Ding Feng and Ling Tong's father Ling Cao, these people were enough to talk to Wu Fan. Other civil and military generals and ministers would interject a sentence or two from time to time, making Wu Fan chat with everyone very harmoniously.
During the chat, Wu Fan naturally noticed that Sun Jian, who was sitting on the upper side, looked at him frequently. Not only that, Wu Fan found that all the Jiangdong generals present looked at him, and there was a faint feeling of expectation in his eyes.
Wu Fan was a little surprised. He didn't know what happened to these people. Could it be that there was nothing else to do in addition to persuading surrender to this banquet?
In this confusing mind, the banquet had been going on for about twenty minutes, and most of the wine on the table had been drunk half a pot of wine. It was a little bit sober and the atmosphere was just right, and it was time to come to have some singing and dancing to cheer up.
Sun Jian looked at Sun Quan, who was sitting on the lower position on the other side. Sun Quan understood and whispered a few words to the civil servant who was working behind him. The civil servant took the order and left.
After a while, footsteps came from outside the hall gate, accompanied by the slight sound of the armor and leaves rubbing. Everyone looked in the sound and saw Sun Shangxiang wearing light armor, red as the base, green as the stop, yellow as the inlay, and walked in from outside.
This was the first time Wu Fan saw Sun Shangxiang wearing armor, and he couldn't help but look up and down a few times. When many Jiangdong generals and ministers around him saw Wu Fan "staring" Sun Shangxiang, they were very proud. They looked at each other and tacitly understood each other.
