The two were talking happily, and a maid pushed the door and looked at Ma Yunlu in a little embarrassedly. Ma Yunlu's face sank and was about to scold him, but he saw two little girls standing behind the maid, with red faces, black and bright eyes, straight facial features, handsome eyebrows and eyes, which made people like it at first glance. They looked very similar, but their expressions were very different. One had a lively eyes, a smile as if they were as beautiful as a flower, and the other had her eyelids, shyly and dared not look at people.

Ma Yunlu was happy as soon as he saw it, and opened his arms. "Oh, where did the two little sisters come from? They are so beautiful. Come here quickly and let me take a good look."

The person who came was the Qiao family. They came to see Sun Ce with Qiao Rui, and while Qiao Rui was talking about the serious business, they slipped here. The soldiers around Sun Ce knew the pair of sisters, and they could easily find out. Ma Yunlu wanted to talk to Liu He and drove the maid out, but the maid could not stand Xiao Qiao's soft begging, so she had to let them in half and half.

After receiving Ma Yunlu's welcome, Xiaoqiao pulled the bridge in, saluted with a stern look, reported his name, and added: "My name is Xiaoqiao, my sister is Daqiao, Xiaoqiao Linglong, Qushui Liushang. The bridge is dignified and lying like a rainbow, this is what General Sun said."

The more Ma Yunlu looked at him, he became more and more happy. He held one in one hand, talking and laughing, took out two small golden cakes, and stuffed one by one. Xiaoqiao smiled and thanked him, stared at Liu He and looked at him carefully, blinking his eyes, his thick and dense eyelashes flashed.

"You must be the eldest princess, right?"

Liu He was at a loss and nodded embarrassedly. Xiaoqiao pulled over the bridge and lay in the bridge's ear and muttered a few words. The two of them gave a big gift seriously. Although they were not very skillful, it was the etiquette of ordinary officials' families to pay homage to the nobles. When Liu He was in Chang'an, he lived in simplicity and rarely showed up. At this moment, he came to Guandong. He knew that his identity was sensitive and he dared not show off his identity as the eldest princess. At this moment, he saw two little girls with beautiful makeup giving such a big gift to him, and he didn't know what to do.

Ma Yunlu also saw this strangely. While winking at Liu He, she asked her to send someone to receive the meeting ceremony, she pulled the Qiao sisters. "Where did you learn these etiquettes?"

"We are Mr. Cai's disciples, and these are taught by Mr. Cai."

"Cai Boji?"

"No, it's Mr. Cai Boji's daughter, Mr. Zhaoji."

Ma Yunlu suddenly realized that she had never seen Cai Yan, but when she was in Nanyang, she had heard about Cai Yan and knew that Nanyang Kindergarten was not inferior to Nanyang County School. The recent article "Theory of the Scholars" written by Cai Yan is even more famous all over the world. She studied it in Guanzhong, and it was expected that her reputation will surpass her father in the future. These two girls are her disciples, so it is understandable that they know these etiquettes.

At this time, Liu He's maid received a meeting gift, a pair of white jade bracelets with mutton fat, Daqiao and Xiaoqiao, each pair, and Liu He put them on them with his own hands. The jade bracelets were warm and contrasted with Daqiao and Xiaoqiao's white and pink wrists, making people love them even more. Xiaoqiao was very happy, and his eyes were smiling like crescent moons. He thanked Liu He repeatedly, and said a while of gossip, and then said goodbye.

Ma Yunlu smiled and shook his head, glanced at Liu He. "Princess, you have to be careful."

Liu He said angrily: "Everyone said, don't call me the eldest princess anymore. What's wrong with me? Is the gift light?"

Ma Yunlu knew that he was wronged, patted his mouth and said, "This pair of bracelets is at least 100,000 yuan, even if it is given to General Sun's wife, it is enough, let alone two children. I mean, in a few years, these two little girls will be sisters with you. They are so beautiful at the age of eleven, and they will definitely be of national character in the future, and even Mrs. Zhen may not be able to compare with her."

"She...?" Liu He was very surprised. "They are too young."

"What a little girl? General Sun's wife was only nine years old when she was engaged. They were all eleven. However, this may not be General Sun's intention, but the little girl has already recognized General Sun. Didn't you see her eyes when she mentioned General Sun? I tell you, they are not here to see me, but to see what kind of person you, the eldest princess, are."

Liu He was skeptical, but was a little nervous. He had heard that Sun Ce had no shortage of women, but he didn't expect that there were so many opponents and were so strong. Compared with these people, she was useless.

The little bridge pulled the bridge and ran all the way to the main cabin of Feilu. Sun Ce and others were joking. The groom Pang De was speechless by your words and I, just smiled foolishly. Qiao Rui was older and didn't fight with these young people. She was standing aside with Sun Ce. The little bridge squeezed in front of them, raised his arms, and showed the jade bracelet he had just obtained.

"General, look, look, are you good-looking?"

The jade bracelet is for adults. Xiaoqiao's arms are too thin. The jade bracelet suddenly slides to the elbows, and the sleeves slide down the arms, revealing most of the pink lotus arms, which exudes a luster that is no less than the jade bracelet in the sun. Sun Ce couldn't help but smile.

"It looks good, the bracelet looks good, and the hands look better."

"Hehe." Xiaoqiao was not shy either. "So, then let you watch it for a while."

Qiao Rui couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He quickly pulled Xiaoqiao over, patted it twice, and asked where the jade bracelet came from. Even with his experience, he had never seen such a good-quality jade bracelet. Xiaoqiao told him about what he had just met Ma Yunlu and Liu He, and took out the golden cakes given by Ma Yunlu. Sun Ce took the bracelet and looked at it, but he didn't say anything, but now he knows that the emperor really treats his sister very well. In addition to Danyang County, there are many valuable things, especially jadeware.

Jade is not as heavy as gold and silver ware, and the rituals are more important. Confucianism values ​​jade, which gives jade too much etiquette connotation, so that later generations call Confucianism the jade sect. Jade artifacts cannot be used casually, and most of them are monopolized by the royal family, and the same is true for jade craftsmen. There are few jade artifacts in the folk, and such precious white jade is even rare. If it weren't for this, Jia Xu wouldn't have used a white jade beauty to show sincerity. Even Yuan Quan, who was born in four generations and three ministers, had never seen such a large white jade.

"Xiaoqiao, such a beautiful jade, don't show it to others casually. What if someone has evil intentions and wants to steal your jade bracelet?"

Xiaoqiao raised his eyebrows lightly. "I'm not afraid. If someone dares to steal me, I will report the name of General Xiao Ba Wang. Now that the general is dominating Guandong, who dares to disrespect?"

"That's not certain. Even if the world is peaceful, there will inevitably be illegal people, not to mention that it is just a preliminary decision now. I have killed so many people, and there will be no fewer people who want to kill me behind my back. I was just trying to steal your jade bracelet and report my name, maybe even your arm will be chopped. Tsk, if such a beautiful arm is chopped, you will become Venus."

"Venus, isn't that the beautiful god of Qin in the Western Regions? She has no arms? How can a person without arms be a beautiful god?"

Sun Ce was surprised. "Do you still know the beautiful god of the Great Qin State?"

"Hehe, what's so strange about this? I also know the Queen of Amazon." Xiaoqiao smiled proudly, with picturesque eyebrows. "There are a few doctors in Bencaotang in Nanyang. They usually like to tell these stories. My sister and I often go to listen to them. The Twelve Lords of the Great Qin Dynasty, and my favorite is Venus."

Sun Ce turned to the bridge. "Which goddess do you like?"

"I..." Oqiao lowered his eyelids shyly, and a red cloud appeared on his face, even his earlobes turned red.

Xiaoqiao rushed to say, "Sister likes Vesta the most."

Sun Ce was not very familiar with the myth of Rome. He knew that Venus was a beautiful god, but he didn't know what this Vesta was responsible for. Seeing Sun Ce was confused, Xiaoqiao added: "Vista is the goddess of the kitchen, which is similar to our kitchen god. Hehe, my sister likes to cook."

"It's good to cook, it's good to cook, and the woman who knows how to cook is the cutest." Sun Ce said: "How is the craft? When will I try it too?"

The little bridge blinked, looked at the bridge, and then looked at Sun Ce.

Pang De's wedding was very lively, even better than Sun Ce's concubine. All the generals near Pengcheng came, but their original purpose was not to attend Pang De's wedding, but to report their duties.

When Sun Ce had almost no time, he talked with the generals and understood the situation. In addition to meeting alone, he also had to convene a meeting. If he had anything, he could say it at a banquet. If he had something, he could only face to face. If he had something, he could only say it to someone and what occasion he had. This was also a science. Even after several years of training, he still dared not relax.

The human heart is the most elusive. One sentence is warm in three winters, and the other sentence is cold in summer. If you are not careful, you may say something wrong. Compared with the children of aristocratic families, people from humble backgrounds have many congenital deficiencies, and this ability is one of them. Sun Ce knew that he had no talent in this area, so he was more cautious. He had to discuss it repeatedly with Guo Jia and others every time, and he thought about words in private, for fear of saying the wrong words that hurt people's hearts and not knowing it. People cannot not make mistakes, but being well prepared will reduce many unnecessary mistakes. Sun Ce has a deep understanding of this for two lifetimes.

This time, we came to Pengcheng to welcome the edict and the eldest princess, and the main task was to adjust the defense line. Taishici was about to advance into Youzhou, and the matter west of Mount Tai fell on Ji Ling's shoulders. Sun Ce specially summoned Ji Ling and had a two-long conversation with him. Finally, he decided that he would take over as the war zone supervisor who came out of Taishici to be responsible for the defense in the city area.

Ji Ling was frightened and did not dare to accept the order. So far, he had no outstanding record and did not have enough prestige, and was worried that he would not be able to fulfill the heavy responsibility.

But Sun Ce believed that he could. Before this, Sun Ce and Guo Jia had carefully studied Ji Ling's situation in the past two years, and now they had communicated with Ji Ling in person. He was sure that there were no obvious mistakes in this arrangement.

Ji Ling is not the kind of ambitious person. He is not enterprising, but he is very steady and good at defense. At the time, he defended Lu, withstood Yuan Tan and Cao Ang's attack for nearly a year. Later, Taishi Ci entered Qingzhou to fight. He actually took over the responsibility of the war zone supervisor. He has been working hard for more than a year and has never made any mistakes. When Cao Ang was busy developing the economy and resuming production, there was little possibility of a war between Yan and Yu, and he had no intention of taking the initiative to attack for the time being. It is most appropriate for Ji Ling to be responsible for the defense of this area.

"No one is born to do anything, you can try it first. If you really can't do it, you won't blame you, and then adjust it."

Ji Ling was so grateful that he bowed to accept the order. "Hey."
