Chapter 43 Handle

"Hands are a little higher!" Guan Feng shouted harshly. Sun Feng was shocked by her drinking. He curled his mouth and looked at Guan Feng dissatisfiedly. He pouted and continued to practice, but his spirit was obviously not as good as before.

Sun Shao stood outside the hall with his hands behind his back, quietly looking at the aggrieved Sun Feng and Guan Feng, who seemed a little anxious, until they noticed him.

"A Wong..." Sun Feng did not jump over as usual, but stood in place and raised his arms. He didn't know whether to continue to practice or end today's suffering. Guan Feng frowned and took a fierce look at Sun Feng.

"A Yu, go play for a while. A Wen has something to do with his mother." Sun Shao smiled and touched Sun Feng's head: "My mother teaches well, and my mother learns well. That's all for today, okay?"

"Good." Sun Feng smiled innocently, pulled Sun Shao's sleeve and said with a smile, "Shall I go to play with my mother?"

"Go ahead, the eldest mother misses you too." Sun Shao waved his hand. Sun Fengle jumped three feet high. He left all the unhappiness just now and ran away. Guan Feng waved his hand, and the two bodyguards hurriedly followed. Sun Shao entered the hall, and Guan Feng followed him. At a glance, he saw a piece of paper on his back and pinched a piece of paper. He couldn't help but be curious.

"Silver screen, are you in a hurry?" Sun Shao turned his head to look at Guan Feng and frowned. Guan Feng hesitated for a moment and licked her lips without saying anything. After a while, she said, "If you endure hardships, you will be a superior."

"That's right, but you can't pull out the seedlings to help him. A Yi is only five years old and still a child. At this time, guidance is more important than oppression." Sun Shao walked to the hall. Guan Feng helped him take off his coat. The two sat down side by side. Sun Shao continued, "Don't you notice that A Yu's interest in practicing martial arts has greatly decreased recently, and he is no longer as active as before."

Guan Feng stretched out a finger and rubbed her temple and sighed distressed, "I'm also having a headache about this. When I was idle, I knew that I might push too hard, but as soon as I saw him, I couldn't wait to make him become as good as you."

"Is it possible?" Sun Shao couldn't help staring at Guan Feng, thinking about it, and suddenly said, "Yinping, have you noticed that Tanzhi (Guan Ping) is obviously not as interested in practicing martial arts as you."

Guan Feng blinked her eyes and looked at Sun Shao unexpectedly. She hesitated for a moment before saying, "You mean that his father forced him too tightly at the beginning, which made him not like to practice martial arts?"

"Maybe." Sun Shao nodded: "Although Tanzhi's qualification is only medium, with a high finger like his father-in-law, his martial arts skills should be much higher than that of ordinary people, but now he is only medium. Why? I guess my father-in-law always takes you as the standard, which makes him feel too much pressure.

Guan Feng curled her lips proudly. Her talent in martial arts is indeed better than that of her brothers. Guan Yu often says that Guan Ping and others don't work hard and can't catch up with her. She thought for a while and said, "A Yan's talent is better than mine."

"How good it is, he is also a child." Sun Shao couldn't help interrupting her words: "Let him follow Han Long to practice. Like your father-in-law, you are a master, but you are not a qualified teacher."

Guan Feng squeaked her lips in embarrassment, and then nodded again without saying anything more. To be honest, she didn't want her son to have a bitter face when she saw her, not to mention that Han Long's martial arts were far above her.

"Auntie, they have arrived at Qian Tang." Sun Shao pushed the paper he had been holding in his hand to Guan Feng. Guan Feng took a look and said unhappily, "They are too adventurous. Can you hide Zhou Yu in the princess's bodyguard?" The princess is also a careless person. This news may be leaked at any time. What's more, Sun Deng is also a delicate person. I'm afraid he will see it out without Jianye.

Sun Shao looked at Guan Feng and said no more. At this time, Guan Feng remembered that this matter was promoted by herself, and she couldn't help but be a little embarrassed. She secretly glanced at Sun Shao: "Your Majesty, you... I... I did this... I did it recklessly."

"Well, you also know that you did it recklessly?" Sun Shao had no choice but to pull back the note, knead it into a ball, and throw it into the waste basket next to him. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Silver screen, do you know that Sun Deng has never canceled the marriage contract. What do you think he is thinking?"

Guan Feng bit her lips and was silent. Of course, she knew about this. Before Sun Shao returned to Qian Tang to take back the secret soldiers, Zhou Yu had been reporting to her. When she heard that Zhou Yu had a "strange disease", but Sun Deng refused to cancel her marriage, she knew that there was a deviation. Sun Deng should have known the truth of the matter, and Sun Shao had done it to win over Sun Deng. Many efforts have also been in vain.

And the reason is her little selfishness.

Guan Feng regretted it, but there was no way to solve the current predicament. Why did Sun Deng come to Qian Tang? She can vaguely guess that this is related to the recent policy of benefiting farmers in Yue, because a large number of people are constantly migrating to Yue County. Although the adjacent Wu County has blocked the lockdown, and it is strictly forbidden for people to leave the country, and even merchants who go in and out of the country must be strictly investigated to avoid bringing in the population. Sun Denglai, of course, he wants to be with Sun Shao. Speaking of this matter, now Sun Deng is pinching Zhou Yu's matter, and he hasn't talked about it yet. Sun Shao has fallen behind. Guan Fengyin felt that Sun Shao had no feeling about Zhou Yu at the beginning. Although he was not disgusted, he was absolutely not interested. If it hadn't hindered the face of the bridge, he might not have seen Zhou Yu again.

And it was Xiahou Hui who helped the bridge come up with this idea. It can be said that Sun Shao's current predicament was caused by her and Xia Houhui. They did not help Sun Shao, but caused trouble.

Guan Feng regretted it very much. She lowered her head and put her chin on her chest. She was as frustrated as Sun Feng, who had just been reprimanded by her.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has invited the King." A maid of honor stood carefully at the door. Of course, they would not see that Sun Shao and Guan Feng were in a bad mood. Sun Shao answered, stood up and stretched out her arms. The maid next to him quickly changed into a coat for him. Sun Shao took a look at Guan Feng, who was still sitting there, and frowned: "Let's go and see the empress dowager with me."

"I..." Guan Feng wanted to say but stopped.

"At this point, it's useless to think too much. Don't be so impulsive next time." Sun Shao shook his head, took Guan Feng's hand forward, pinched it, and said with a smile, "It's time to find something for you to do. Otherwise, you will either cause trouble for me or take it out on the child. Why bother."

Guan Feng blushed, changed her clothes honestly, followed Sun Shao out of the hall and went straight to Changle Palace.

At the gate of Changle Palace, before he entered the door, Sun Shao saw the jubilant Zhou Yin standing at the door and saluted from afar: "See you, the king and queen."

Sun Shao stopped, looked up and down at Zhou Yin, and said with a smile, "Zhong Ying, didn't you have your marriage leave? Why are you still on duty today? You should be careful. Your lady is the apple of my aunt's eye. If there is anything that can't be done properly, I will support her, my cousin's son-in-law!"

Zhou Yin's wife, Xu, is Sun Shao's junior according to generation. She wants to call Sun Shao's cousin. Zhou Yin and Sun Shao were originally equals. This marriage was short, and she was a little unhappy, but there was nothing she could do. Who let him take a fancy to other girl and she didn't marry her. If Sun Shao hadn't come forward, the Xu family would have looked down on him at all. In order to get the beauty back, the later generation would have recognized him. However, Sun Shao called him his cousin's son-in-law in front of so many subordinates, and he was still blushing.

"Your Majesty, the palace is important. Don't use the name at home." Zhou Yin smiled and flattered, "The Empress Dowager is waiting in the hall. The king and queen should go in quickly."

Sun Shao didn't think much about it. He entered the hall side by side with Guan Feng. As soon as he entered the door, he greeted him with a smile: "Mom, why are you so happy? Call us here in a hurry? Is there someone else who has offered some treasures to be rewarded with us?"

The bridge was overjoyed and waved repeatedly, "Can't I invite you to come without a baby?" How's it going? Have you delayed your business? After Sun Shao could answer, she took Guan Feng's hand again and said sadly, "I know he is a leisurely person. There will be nothing to do, but it's you, Yinping. You should pay attention to recuptizing your body and give birth to more children for me to hug. I went to Zhuya for a few months. I ate well and played well, but my strength was small. I couldn't hold it anymore, and there was nothing in my heart.

Guan Feng hurriedly smiled and said, "Mother, not only can't hold him, but also can't hold me. Don't worry, old man. Yuanrong is also thirteen years old. In another two years, he will have a grandson for you to hold.

"Hahaha..." The bridge laughed happily, glanced at Xiahou Hui, who was standing aside with a red face, and said with a smile, "You two are different. I heard before that there are many wives and concubines competing for favor in the courtyard of this rich family. I can't wait to dominate my husband. It's better for you to push him to others. Why, I Is your king so unpopular with women?

Sun Shao saw that the bridge was so happy that he was a little gaffe. He didn't know what good things had happened to her, so he coughed and smiled, "Mom, you called us here to let Yinping have a few more children? This one can't come in a hurry.

"You." The bridge glanced at him angiar, picked up a note on the next case and stuffed it into Sun Shao's hand. He said happily, "Your aunt is coming. This is the family letter she wrote to me. Bo Ying and Lu Ban are also here." She looked around and squeezed her eyes mysteriously: "Ayu is also here."

Sun Shao was stunned and took the book and read it. In particular, he paid attention to the date. The letter was sent two days ago. It was definitely not sent by mail. It should have been sent by Kuaima, because he had just received a secret letter from Zhou Kun. He glanced out and saw Zhou Yin standing at the door of the palace but peeking at the hall. He immediately understood what was going on. He read the book quietly, and then returned it to the bridge. He smiled calmly and said, "Okay, let my aunt stay with you for a while this time."

When the bridge saw that Sun Shao was not particularly excited, she couldn't help but be a little surprised. She looked at Sun Shao for a while and suddenly understood. She gave a look at Guan Feng and Xia Houhui. Guan Feng and Xia Houhui quickly got up and retreated. There were only Sun Shao and Daqiao in the hall. Then the bridge said, "Aman, tell me the truth, do you have a problem with A Yu?"

Sun Shao was silent.

"I know, she really shouldn't have done that. To tell you the truth, I was so angry at that time that I couldn't wait to break up with her mother and daughter from now on. But Man, I can't be cruel. The bridge's nose was sore, and his eyes were a little moist: "There is no one in my bridge family. I'm so careful. I've been looking for Huaiyang for so long, but I haven't found anyone in my bridge family. Now I only have this sister to live with me. How can I be cruel to deny her? She was a little snobbish, but... I don't blame her. Not to mention her at that time, even I didn't expect you to get out of danger.

"But my mother didn't turn her back on me." Sun Shao suddenly became angry. He straightened up and looked directly at the tearful face of the bridge: "I don't blame Zhou Xun. He wants to think about the future of the Zhou family. He has the right to choose, and I don't blame Zhou Yu. She has no marriage contract with me. No matter what the reason is, I can understand. But I can't accept that she turned her back on you. You only have her sister. Isn't she the only sister you and the sister of a mother? Abandon you when you need her support the most?

Sun Shao spoke quickly and his voice was also very loud. It seemed that these words had been suppressed in his heart for a long time. Today, he said it in one breath: "Mother, although we are not born mother and son, you love me more than mother and son. If you think about her, I can find a way to get her to come, but I can't accept their act of cutting off their family affection for their own interests. No one can do this. The world needs to be powerful, but it can't just be powerful in people's eyes. He stood up angrily and shook his sleeves: "If you want to be rich, I can give them wealth. If you want power, I can also give them power. There is no problem with this, but I can't forgive them."

The bridge was stunned. She stared at Sun Shao with tears in her eyes. She didn't know why he was so excited. After Wancheng, Sun Shao never mentioned that matter. Zhou Yin came to Qian Tang. Sun Shao also properly arranged his position and settled down for him. Recently, he went out in person to ask his aunt for help, fulfilling Zhou Yin's wish. She always thought that Sun Shao had forgotten that incident and no longer hated Zhou Yu. Unexpectedly, Sun Shao did not hate Zhou Yu from beginning to end, but hated Xiaoqiao, not because the Zhou family abandoned him, but because Xiaoqiao abandoned her.

"That...that Ayu..."

"A Yu is now the crown princess of the State of Wu." Sun Shao waved his hand and suppressed his unhappiness and said, "As far as I know, they have not formally proposed to terminate the marriage contract so far. She also came secretly this time. What can I do? Sun Deng also came. He wanted to talk to me about those household registrations. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for Ah Yu to appear in Qian Tang at this time. I can only pretend not to know.

"What should I do?" The bridge panicked. No matter how big it happened, as long as Sun Shao contracted it, she would have a clear heart. Now Sun Shao doesn't care. What should Xiaoqiao and Zhou Yu do when they arrive at Qian Tang? She never knew that the marriage contract between Zhou Yu and Sun Deng had not been terminated. It was really inconvenient for Zhou Yu, as the prospective crown princess, to appear in Qian Tang. What's more, Sun Deng also came to Qian Tang. If they met, what should they think?

"Let her stay in Zhong Ying's house, try not to go out, and come less in the palace. As the crown princess of the State of Wu, it is not appropriate for her to appear in the capital of our Yue." Sun Shao shook his head: "As soon as the wedding is over, it's better to let her go back to Jianye. It's not impossible to live in Qiantang for a long time, but she can't live in Qiantang in this identity."

The bridge turned white and had no idea. She didn't know when Sun Shao went out. It was not until Zhou Yin poked her head in to ask the result that the bridge came to her senses. She looked at Zhou Yin unhappily and asked him, "Why hasn't your mother terminated the marriage contract so far? Is she still thinking about going around on both sides?

"Marriage contract?" Zhou Yin was stunned for a moment and looked very surprised: "No way, A Yu is so sick that she hasn't terminated the marriage contract yet?"

"I have to ask you this." Daqiao was very angry: "At this time, I won't cancel the marriage contract. Do you still want to be the crown princess of the State of Wu? Since you want the crown princess of the State of Wu, why do you need to spend so much time and marry into the palace steadily?

Zhou Yin was very embarrassed. He quickly explained, "Auntie, I really don't know about this." After a while, he said, "Auntie, there must be something wrong with this. I don't know what my mother thinks, but I know that Ayu definitely doesn't want to be a princess. She... I saw her vomiting blood with my own eyes, and it will never be bad. If she...she wants to be the crown princess, how can she do this?

When the bridge saw that Zhou Yin spoke seriously, he could not see any hypocrisy, but he was also a little inaccurate. She walked impatiently for a moment: "Anyway, they are already on their way. They can arrive at Qian Tang in two days. Ask her then. If she really wants to come to Qian Tang, then don't be half-hearted. I will ask for help with this old face. If she still wants to be the crown princess, then go back to Jianye quickly. Anyway, I don't have the crown princess to ask her to do it.

Zhou Yin nodded repeatedly, and his face became very ugly. He stamped his feet with hatred and left resentfully. In his memory, Sun Shao had never spoken to the bridge so loudly. Although he didn't hear what he said clearly, it was obviously not a good thing from the attitude of the bridge. The bridge has said good things for the Zhou family again and again, but the Zhou family is still thinking about it so far, which not only makes the bridge difficult to do, but also makes him unable to be a human being.

Two days later, Sun Deng and Zhou Xun stepped on the afterglow and entered Qiantang City. Qiantang City had not closed yet. The shops on both sides of the avenue were still doing business, and the lanterns with the name of the store were clearly illuminated the street. Sun Deng raised the curtain, looked curiously at the bustling flow of people on both sides, and was full of praise. Sun Song, who was ordered to greet him, said with a proud smile, "Prince, my money is still prosperous. How about Jianye?"

Sun Deng glanced at him and said with a smile, "Brother Ziqiao, I haven't seen you for a year. You have become a little arrogant like this Yue Kingdom. You are not only arrogant, but also a little domineering. I just arrived at Qian Tang and only took a few steps into the city. Are you anxious to make me compare Jianye and Qian Tang? Isn't it a little too bullying?

Sun Song smiled, but the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching. He just played with Sun Deng. How could Sun Deng react so much? Unexpectedly, it is said that the country is domineering and bullying people too much. He shook his head and said disapprovingly, "Prince, your crime is a little too big. When did I become domineering and when did I bully others? If you want to add a crime, there is no excuse. The prince's status is precious. You have to be cautious in your words and deeds.

Sun Deng glanced at the car not far behind him, flashed a trace of fierceness in the corners of his eyes, and then smiled and said, "The State of Yue robbed a large number of the people of our State of Wu. Several nearby counties are almost empty, and some even died in the county. Isn't this not domineering enough? This is much more domineering than bullying men and women. This time I'm here to ask His Royal Highness the King of Yue for justice.

Sun Song listened and couldn't help laughing: "Snatch? Prince, you are wrong. Our Yue Kingdom did not send a soldier to your State of Wu. The people of the State of Wu came to our Yue State of Yue. They volunteered it. It was because the king of my Yue was kind to the people and practiced benevolent government, so the near ones were happy, and those who were far away came. This is the king's way, not domineering. The prince is familiar with the scriptures and poems, can't he even distinguish this?

Sun Deng retreated back into the carriage and sneered: "Relying on the financial resources of your Yue, use the simple wish of the people to think of a good day, attract them to leave their hometown, and finally they can't support it. What kind of benevolence is it called to abandon them? It is said that it is domineering, which is for me, the State of Wu. For these people, it can not be summarized as domineering. I'm afraid it can be described as a tidray.

"The prince's words are heavy." Sun Quan was not angry. He looked at Sun Deng calmly: "How do you know that I just cheated them and can't guarantee their long-term interests?"

"Do you still need to ask?" Sun Deng sneered: "It's okay for you to deceive those stupid people. Can you still deceive me? Brother Ziqiao, I have been more or less exposed to some government affairs. So many people flooded into Yue, how much food, how much houses, and how much arable land I need, I can probably estimate. Although you have money, how long can you support it?

"You are not my Yueguo. How do you know that Yueguo can't support me?" Sun Song put away his smile, glanced at Sun Deng, and was silent for a moment. Then he said confidently, "I have never been an overcalculable person. As long as we do it, we will definitely have the ability to do it well. If the prince doesn't believe it, he might as well wait and see. Why rush to draw a conclusion?

Sun Deng tilted his mouth and said suspiciously: "Brother Ziqiao, although we belong to the two countries, Wu Yue is originally a family, and you and I also have the blood of the King of Lie. Why do you have to bully me? Do you think I dare to come to Qian Tang based on some hearsay?

"I know that Hu Zong often haunts Qian Tang, and there are many merchants from the State of Wu in Qian Tang. However, is it so easy to understand the affairs of Yue?" Sun Song interrupted Sun Deng rudely: "Do you know the situation of Yue more than I do? Since you said that Wu Yue is a family and admits that we are all from the Sun family, I might as well remind you. If you think that my country is deceiving the people, then you are wrong. It's ridiculously wrong. You might as well go to the settled people first and have a good discussion with these wise men you brought. Maybe you won't come to Qian Tang in vain.

He finally said to Sun Deng earnestly, "Zigao, do you think you are better than your eldest brother?"

Sun Deng was speechless.
