After passing through the corridors, past the Moon Gate in front is Qiao's garden.

Xiao Qiao suddenly felt a little uneasy, and her steps slowed down unconsciously.

She walked in small steps while arranging her hair and hair accessories with her hands: "Who is that? Hey, drunkard, do I look good?"

If you still don’t understand this, Zhou Yu is considered a fool. One of his eyebrows jumped up, the other sank, and a forced smile appeared on his stiff face: “Good-looking, Miss Qiao Wei is very beautiful!”

Xiao Qiao snorted lightly, walked happily for a few steps, and suddenly paused again. Her face turned slightly red, and she turned around and took out her pink fist, pretending to be fierce and said: "Don't tell Brother Sun what we said, otherwise we will make you look good."

!”

Seeing Zhou Yu nodding in agreement, Xiao Qiao felt relieved.

This small distance only passed for a moment, and the two of them had already reached the Moon Gate while they were talking.

"Miss Qiao Xin, I have something to tell you!"

This sentence was so loud that the two people outside the door were startled, and some of the emotions contained in the words also stopped them in their tracks.

"General, please speak, general." You can hear Da Qiao's soft voice.

A long silence followed.

"Xin'er. I like you. Marry me. Be my wife!"

For a moment, it was as if time stood still.

Xiao Qiao froze and remained motionless.

After an unknown amount of time, Da Qiao said in a trembling voice: "General, don't be joking, general."

Sun Ce was so anxious that he grabbed Da Qiao's hand: "I'm not kidding! I really like you!"

Da Qiao saw Sun Ce's eyes, and the reflection of herself in those eyes made her panic. She was so anxious that she seemed to cry.

"I don't believe it!" She gently broke away from Sun Ce's hand and took a step back.

She gritted her teeth and said coldly: "I know the general wants to get his father's support, but, but, my sister can do it too!"

Da Qiao danced and said: "Sister, she plays the piano very well, is lively, cheerful, and prettier than me! Moreover, my sister has worshiped heroes since she was a child. Maybe you will agree to her just by mentioning her!"

Da Qiao was confused and hesitant, and his pretty face was as crowded as a bitter gourd: "No, sister, she will definitely agree to you. Go tell her and give it a try!"

Zhou Yu glanced at Xiao Qiao secretly. I'm afraid the elder sister already knew what this sister was thinking.

However, Sun Ce felt that his body was a little cold, his head was a little hot, he was groggy, and his chest felt tight, as if it was blocked by something. He stared at Da Qiao with a mournful face, and his tongue couldn't help but moan.

"Do you hate me so much?"

Da Qiao hesitated, lowered his head and did not dare to look into Sun Ce's eyes, and said angrily: "Then what does the general like about Qiao Xin?"

Sun Ce's mind started to heat up and he said without thinking, "I don't know, but I just like you."

"I don't believe it!" blurted out.

Qiao Xin took a step back, bit her lip, looked up into Sun Ce's eyes, and said coldly: "I don't believe it!"

"You said you wanted to marry me because you wanted to get the Qiao family's wealth!"

"You said you like me because I'm prettier than others! You men are all like this. Soon, you will fall in love with another woman again!"

After saying that, Da Qiao ran away as fast as he could without waiting for Sun Ce to answer.

Fortunately, she escaped to the other side.

On this side of the door, Xiao Qiao was frozen there, unable to move.

When Zhou Yu saw Sun Ce walking this way in despair, he felt anxious and quickly grabbed Xiao Qiao's wrist and pulled her to the side to hide.

The girl who was so nimble just now has lost her strength now, like a puppet on strings, letting Zhou Yu play with it.

After passing through several courtyards, I don’t know where I ended up.

Zhou Yu was sure that he would not meet Sun Ce, so he stopped and let go of Xiao Qiao.

"Do you like my brother?" Zhou Yu felt a little tight in his chest. He didn't know why he asked this question!

"Yeah" Qiao Wei nodded sadly.

The air felt suffocating. Zhou Yu looked at the girl and said out of nowhere: "I'll help you!"

Xiao Qiao slowly looked at Zhou Yu, his eyes confused and twinkling.

······

Jianye City.

While Sun Ce's son and daughter were in love, Jianye City was not at peace either.

Among the four major families in Jiangdong, the Shen family is the strongest and most influential, and the Shen family's foundation is in Jianye City.

Now that Sun Ce had offended both the Shen family and the Chen family, Jianye City naturally became the frontline for the aristocratic families to resist Sun Ce's "atrocities".

Since ancient times, there has always been no shortage of people who want to be officials. Even though many children of aristocratic families have left, there are still many deputies who can temporarily take over local affairs. Although some government affairs are inevitably stagnant, at least there is not too much chaos in the local area.

Of course, this is also due to the efforts of Lu Su, Zhang Hong, Zhang Zhao and others.

However, everyone was still busy with the purchase and distribution of food, and preparations for the imperial examination, so some things inevitably fell behind.

For example, most of the dock workers at Wuhu Port went on strike for two days.

Merchant ships could not unload cargo, and fishing boats could not transport fish back. Businessmen complained, and people's daily lives were also affected a lot.

"Second Young Master, you have to think of a way!"

"Seeing that my lord is determined to go his own way and the fights with various aristocratic families are getting more and more intense, the counties in Jiangdong are now in chaos."

"If this continues, all the legacy left behind by my old master will be destroyed!"

Xu Gong had a sad look on his face, and those who didn't know thought he had been with Sun Jian for a long time and that he was Sun Jian's trusted advisor.

Sun Quan said with a dark face after listening to Xu Gong's words.

"Don't worry, I will never let my eldest brother destroy the legacy left by my father. I'll go see my mother and I won't believe that my eldest brother won't even listen to my mother's words."
