Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 806, Side Story 3: Bu Lianshi (Part 2)

The boys and girls ran up to Sun Ren and tried to swarm around him.

But then Bu Zhi coughed a few times in the distance.

The young boy and girl then came to their senses and hurriedly bowed to Sun Ren, saying, "Greetings, Madam Sun!"

Seeing the distant relationship between the young man and woman, Sun Ren felt incredibly sad.

In the end, she simply nodded.

Some things are in the past, and we can never go back to the innocence we once had.

Behind the boy and girl, a figure slowly walked over.

This is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.

Although she was wearing a coarse cloth dress, it still couldn't hide her unique temperament.

That kind of aura that makes people feel incredibly distant.

It gives one the feeling that she exists independently of this world.

Sun Ren's eyes reddened as he called out from afar, "Sister Bu—"

The girl's name was Bu Lianshi, and she was Sun Ren's close friend when he was in Qu'a, Jiangdong.

Sun Ren admired his best friend immensely.

The other person knows many things that she doesn't.

In particular, unlike others, the other person did not resist her cynical nature.

When others see her, they always say she doesn't look like a woman.

Even her beloved elder brother, Sun Ce, often said before his death that she might never be able to get married.

Only Bu Lianshi told her that this kind of temperament of hers was likable.

Looking at Sun Ren, who had shed her childishness and become a typical woman of this world, Bu Lianshi sighed inwardly.

She has tried her best to change as little as possible the people and things around her.

Sun Ren was the only person she tried to change.

The younger sister of the Marquis of Wu in Jiangdong met an incredibly tragic end in history.

As a product of a political marriage, she married Liu Bei in the prime of her life, but never produced any offspring.

She even learned from numerous sources that this woman, who left a significant mark on history, may never have slept in the same bed with her politically arranged husband.

Even so, she ultimately became a victim of her second brother.

After being tricked back to Jiangdong, he disappeared without a trace.

This is even less desirable than the ending of jumping into the river and committing suicide as depicted in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

At least, there's an ending.

In reality, her fate remains unknown.

But what's the point of saying all this now?

She escaped her original fate, but not the fate of women in this era; she was still politically married off by her second brother to a lecherous man.

That man had countless women.

Even so, he still philandered.

Because he is the strongest of this era, and is about to ascend to the throne as the number one.

Walking up to Sun Ren, Bu Lianshi held his hand and said with a tired and sad voice, "Sometimes, I think, maybe I shouldn't have taught you those things before."

"Sometimes, it's good to be confused."

"Being caught up in the tide of the times, thinking too much but being unable to change the situation is also a torturous thing."

Sun Ren lowered his head, and a tear fell from his eye.

Both of them fell silent.

After a long while, Sun Rencai raised his head and forced a smile, saying, "I feel the same way."

"No matter what, Sister Bu, I will not do what you predicted, that I might drown myself."

Lifting his daughter Zhang Manman down from his shoulders and holding her in his arms, Sun Ren smiled and said, "He and I have our own child now."

"Her name is Manman."

"Although it was just a daughter, he didn't have any dissatisfaction with Manman like other men do."

“No matter how busy he is, as long as Manman and I can find him, he will still make time to spend a day or two with us.”

Chong Bulian smiled, and Sun Ren said, "Moreover, I've also found out I'm pregnant."

“He prepared doctors and midwives at the mansion, just in case anything happened to me.”

Bu Lianshi paused for a moment, then nodded.

Not bad.

In the late Han Dynasty, it was truly remarkable for a man to treat his woman and daughter in this way.

After all, Sun Ren was merely a victim of a political marriage. Bu Lianshi smiled and said, "That's good."

"Just treat what I taught you before as a dream."

"As I often tell you, sometimes, it's good to be a little confused."

Sun Ren hummed in agreement, and while pulling Bu Lianshi toward the city gate of Ye City, he said, "Sister Bu, since you're here this time, let's stay a little longer."

"My husband will soon ascend to that position."

"Many people will never see such a scene in their entire lives."

Don't miss this opportunity.

"The person who arranged this scene was an old gentleman named Xu Jing."

“I told my husband the night before last that I asked him to talk to Mr. Xu Jing and that he would reserve the best seat for you so that you can have a panoramic view of the entire venue.”

Bu Lianshi smiled and said, "Then I will thank you in advance, Madam."

Bu Zhi led the group, following behind Sun Ren and Bu Lianshi.

The group entered Ye City. Sun Ren let Bu Zhi lead the others to a guesthouse to rest, while she led Bu Lianshi and the young men and women to stroll around Ye City.

This was Bu Lianshi's first time visiting Ye City.

The scenery of Yecheng is much better than that of Qu'a.

The streets are bustling with traffic.

Bu Lianshi exclaimed, "I never imagined that ancient times had such a prosperous side."

Sun Ren simply smiled when he heard Bu Lianshi's感慨 (sentiments/reflections).

Sister Bu's catchphrase is "ancient times".

She's used to it.

The group passed by a shop.

At this moment, inside the shop, a beautiful figure wearing a cheongsam is leaning against the counter, flipping through the account books.

Bu Lianshi stopped in her tracks, looking at the figure with some shock.

cheongsam?

Did the cheongsam already exist at this time?

He used to like Three Kingdoms games, and she secretly read various materials from the late Han Dynasty.

She doesn't remember that the cheongsam appeared in this era!
Could it be that my memory is faulty?

Seeing Bu Lianshi staring blankly at the figure, Sun Ren said in a low voice, "Her name is Zhen Mi, the second young lady of the prestigious Zhen family in Wuji County, Zhongshan Prefecture."

Sun Ren whispered into Bu Lianshi's ear, "Her mother was one of the first women to be with him, and she also had special feelings for him."

"However, she has never been able to let go of her identity."

"After all, no normal person can accept serving a man with their mother."

Sun Ren chuckled and said, "That man really doesn't discriminate between meat and vegetables."

"He'll bite anyone, young or old, as long as they're good-looking."

"Her mother, like me, is pregnant again."

"This is the third one!"

Bu Lianshi did not respond to Sun Ren's words, but pointed to the cheongsam on Zhen Mi and said, "That, is it a cheongsam?"

Sun Ren's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in surprise, "That's right! How did you know?"

"Only a few stores make this kind of clothing."

"Her shop can make not only cheongsams, but also all sorts of strange and unusual clothes."

Sun Ren, his still somewhat immature face flushed, leaned close to Bu Lianshi's ear again and whispered, "He got some incredibly embarrassing clothes from here."

Bu Lianshi: "."

Suddenly, Bu Lianshi's gaze fell on Sun Ren's waist and back.

Having just reunited after so long, I was completely focused on Sun Ren and didn't notice what she was carrying.

Bu Lianshi grabbed the strangely shaped bow hanging from Sun Ren's waist and exclaimed, "A compound bow?"

"Madam, how did you come to have this?"

Sun Ren suspiciously fiddled with the compound bow hanging at his waist, then said with a hint of pride, "I asked Sister Cai to get this for me from the academy."

"The college produces a lot of strange and unusual things from time to time."

He pulled out the weapon hanging behind him.

It is a slender, curved knife.

Sun Ren shook his head and said with a sigh, "According to Sister Cai and Sister Huang, this is called a horizontal sword. We've never seen one like this before!"
