Lu Xuan took a carriage to Qiao's house, got off the carriage, and immediately went to knock on the door.
It didn't take long before Qiao Yu went out to greet him personally.
Qiao Yu was very happy and said with a smile: "My dear nephew, you are finally here. Please come quickly."
Lu Xuan cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Qiao, I've been waiting for a long time."
Qiao Yu suddenly became serious and said with a straight face: "My dear nephew, it's too unfamiliar to call me Duke Qiao. Just call me Uncle Qiao."
Lu Xuan took advantage of the situation and said: "Uncle Qiao."
"Come, come, let's go."
Qiao Yu showed a bright smile again and led Lu Xuan into the hall and took a seat.
Lu Xuan took a look and didn't see Da Qiao.
This is normal.
Women in this era had a relatively low status and would not participate in most talks.
Qiao Yu said sternly: "My dear nephew, your visit today proves that you are serious. I will stop beating around the bush. I have two daughters, and Da Qiao has reached the age of marriage. Are you willing to marry Da Qiao?"
Lu Xuan was surprised.
So direct.
However, he likes it.
Lu Xuan solemnly replied: "Uncle Qiao, I am willing to marry Da Qiao. My father and I have also discussed this matter. We must follow the etiquette procedures and ask a matchmaker to propose marriage. There are three letters and six etiquette. In important matters of marriage, parents must be paid attention to.
The words of the matchmaker."
"well said."
Qiao Yu looked even more satisfied.
Lu Xuan understands etiquette, and Lu Kang has expressed his stance, which is a good thing.
After Qiao Yu's concerns were settled, he said sternly: "You and Da Qiao's marriage must be properly managed. But during this period, you must be more careful."
Lu Xuan asked: "What does Uncle Qiao mean?"
Qiao Yu solemnly said: "Yesterday at the cultural gathering in Daguan Tower, Sun Ce lost all face. When he left, he looked at you with resentment in his eyes. I think his character is exactly the same as that of his father Sun Jian. He is a person who will seek revenge.
, so you must be careful.”
Lu Xuan laughed and said: "The reason why I came to Qiao's house a little late today was because of Sun Ce's trouble. On my way to Qiao's house, I was ambushed by Sun Ce."
"ah!"
Qiao Yu looked surprised.
His eyes were sharp and he said in a deep voice: "Damn Sun Ce, you are so bold. My dear nephew, you are not injured, are you?"
Lu Xuan shook his head and said, "Thank you, Uncle Qiao, for your concern. I'm fine. Sun Ce was seriously injured this time."
Qiao Yu was confused and asked: "What's going on?"
Lu Xuan did not hide anything, and said directly: "Sun Ce may retaliate. I predicted this situation yesterday. So I made some arrangements early. Sun Ce led his people to ambush on the street, but I was ambushed instead.
When Sun Ce was about to be captured, Zhou Yu rode horses to rescue him..."
Lu Xuan explained the detailed situation without hiding anything.
Qiao Yu was stunned for a while after hearing this.
Predict Sun Ce's ambush!
Shoot Sun Ce!
Plot against Sun Ce!
Furthermore, he forced Zhou Yu and Sun Ce to cut off their robes and sever their ties, thus severing all ties between them.
Finally, recruit Zhou Yu.
Lu Xuan's step-by-step calculations had Sun Ce so hard that he didn't even have the slightest chance to resist.
Amazing!
Qiao Yu applauded in his heart.
The way he looks at Lu Xuan now and his attitude is completely that of his old father-in-law's kind attitude, which is completely towards Lu Xuan.
Qiao Yu stroked the beard under his chin, thought for a while, and said: "My dear nephew, is it worth letting Sun Ce go in order to recruit Zhou Yu? If it were me, I would decisively execute Sun Ce to avoid future troubles. As for Zhou Yu, there is indeed
He is talented, but Sun Ce poses a greater threat."
Lu Xuan said firmly: "Everything is worth it. Zhou Yu is a man of extraordinary talent. He can run an army on a horse and a country on a horse. He is both civil and military. But Sun Ce is basically a martial artist who acts unscrupulously and unscrupulously. There is nothing wrong with such a person.
So scared."
Qiao Yu did not interfere with Lu Xuan's decision and said with a smile: "Just have your own opinion."
He changed the topic and suddenly said: "Your father is the prefect of Lujiang County. What are your plans for the future?"
Lu Xuan's expression also became serious.
He had already considered this issue, and Qiao Yu asked it, so he could explain it directly.
Lu Xuan said directly: "Yuan Shu arrived in Yangzhou and continued to seize territory. Therefore, I judged that Yuan Shu may attack Lujiang County at any time. In addition, the court is in chaos and the princes are self-reliant. In this general environment, I will first base myself on Lujiang and secure Lujiang County.
It’s firmly in your hands.”
Qiao Yu nodded and said: "The plan to establish a foothold in Lujiang County is no problem. But if the world changes, how do you plan to arrange it?"
There was a hint of expectation in Lu Xuan's eyes, and he said: "Use the Lujiang River as the foundation to destroy Yuan Shu, control Yangzhou, and establish a foothold in the southeast. Further, control Jingzhou to the west, cross the Yangtze River from east to west, occupy the south, and divide the world into two parts. If you go further, wait for the opportunity to go north.
, but this is too far away.”
This was what Lu Xuan decided to say after careful consideration.
The two parties were about to enter into a marriage relationship, and Lu Xuan wanted to test it out to see Qiao Yu's attitude.
After Qiao Yu heard this, a flash of light flashed across his eyes, and he said with a smile: "Okay, what a two-divided world. There is a melee in the north, and the princes are rising together, but there are no signs of it. The only thing that is certain is that the Jiangnan nobles have no chance to intervene."
"Your strategy of basing yourself on Lujiang River, seizing Yangzhou, sweeping the south, and dividing the world into two parts is indeed exquisite. It's amazing that your father, so loyal and patriotic, gave birth to a man like you. How would your father feel if he knew your plan?
?”
Qiao Yu spoke with great appreciation.
Lu Xuan is ambitious and courageous. This is a good thing and he supports it.
Lu Xuan looked serious and said with a smile: "I only told Uncle Qiao what I thought, and no one else said it."
"Yes, yes, I can't say."
Qiao Yu looked at Lu Xuan with more approval and deep love.
Talented!
Have a strategy!
ambitious!
Only such people can survive in troubled times and trust their families in the future.
Qiao Yu was even more proud of his choice of son-in-law in Daguanlou. He waved his hand and said: "My dear nephew, I have nothing to say to you. If you need any help, just ask me. Da Qiao is in the backyard.
, I’ll ask someone to take you there.”
"Thank you, Uncle Qiao."
Lu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
After some testing just now, he knew that Qiao Yu was different from his father. Lu Kang was more loyal to the court and was a role model for the world.
Qiao Yu is more realistic.
This is a good thing.
Lu Xuan bowed to Qiao Yu and, led by his attendants, came to Da Qiao's courtyard.
In the early spring of March, everything comes to life.
In the yard, Da Qiao was wearing a long white dress, standing by the railing, her graceful body leaning forward slightly, looking at several peonies blooming in the flowers. A smile appeared on her charming face.
This smile is like a hundred flowers blooming.
This scene happened to be seen by Lu Xuan who had just entered the courtyard.
What a nice view!
Lu Xuan sighed in his heart.
Da Qiao's appearance and figure are both impeccable and truly beautiful.
"The clouds are like clothes, the flowers are like faces, the spring breeze is blowing on the threshold, and the dew is thick."
"If we hadn't met at the top of Qunyu Mountain, we would have met under the moonlight at Yaotai."
Lu Xuan thought of this poem, which perfectly suited the current scene, and recited it directly. He took two steps forward, cupped his hands and said, "Lu Xuan, I have met Miss Qiao."
