The Three Kingdoms era was an era of heroes, during which many heroic figures appeared, such as Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan and others, who left a strong mark in the history books. However, for the many beautiful women who appeared in the Three Kingdoms era, there are very few records, which are caused by the low status of women at that time.
Of all the beauties that appeared during the Three Kingdoms period, "Jiangdong Erqiao" is naturally difficult to get around. According to the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, "The second daughter of The Duke of Qiao is also the color of the country." Tsee na big Joe, Yu married little Joe. ”
As we all know, at that time, Sun Ce was the hegemon of one side, Zhou Yu was a famous Confucian general in the Three Kingdoms period, Big Qiao married Sun Ce, and Little Qiao married Zhou Yu. How can a pair of sister flowers, while marrying a powerful person, not attract the attention of the world.
However, in all the history books, there are not many records about Joe jr. When people talk about Big and Little Joe, they only know that they are the beauties of the Three Kingdoms, but they do not know the extent of their beauty, and there are almost no descriptions of them.
However, there are slightly more records of Erqiao's father, Qiao Gong, who originally served as an official under Emperor Xiandi of Han, who could have imagined that the Han Dynasty was already extinct in name only. After the death of Qiao Gong's wife, he resigned his official post and returned to his hometown, and took Qiao qiao to live in seclusion in Anhui Anhui.
In December of the fourth year of Jian'an (199 AD), when Sun Ce led his soldiers to capture the city of Anhui in Lujiang, he captured the Qiao sisters, and the two sisters married Sun Ce and Zhou Yu successively. Since ancient times, it is a beautiful woman with a hero, and the original second Joe can live a good life, how to expect fate to make people.
In that war-torn era, the overly outstanding beauty may be doomed to be the tragedy of that era. Big and small Joe naturally can not escape this fate, their final ending is not like the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", big and small Joe's real encounter, far from ordinary people can understand.
At that time, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were both 25 years old, while Big Qiao was 18 years old and Little Qiao was 16 years old, and both sisters were young and young. These two marriages seem to outsiders to be infinitely glorious, and beautiful women are matched with heroes. Sun Ce once said: "Although the second daughter of the Duke of Qiao is displaced, it is enough to be happy to have the two of them as sons-in-law." (The Biography of Jiang Biao)
Is Joe's real situation as good as the outside world says? However, their status is actually not very high, although Big and Small Qiao has a national color and heavenly fragrance, she is the woman that Sun Ce seized after he attacked the Anhui City.
In the feudal era that paid attention to the order of dignity and inferiority at that time, marriage was regarded as the best of two surnames, specifically referring to the fact that two families were related by marriage, and there was a set of cumbersome etiquette. Big and Small Joe was not married in this way, and you can imagine how embarrassing his position is.
More importantly, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were both 25 years old at the time, and in that era when they should get married as teenagers, they were naturally no exception. Therefore, after the two sisters of Big and Little Qiao married Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, they were not in the position of a proper wife, but in an embarrassing situation of a concubine. In the Three Kingdoms period, the status of wives and concubines varied greatly, and there was no possibility of rectification in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
But for women, status may not be the most important thing, and being able to spend the rest of their lives with the person they love is the happiest thing. After Big Qiao married Sun Ce, he was so busy creating a foundation that he had no time to take care of the people next to him, and there were very few couples together.
A year later, Sun Ce was seriously injured by a former Wu Commandery Taishou Xugong's guest. Soon Sun Ce was poisoned and killed, and Big Qiao became a widow. This is the greatest sadness of being a woman, and her sister has not escaped this fate.
Although Xiao Qiao and Zhou Yu have lived a husband and wife life for more than ten years, they are always gathering less and leaving more. In the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu became famous all over the world, but his life expectancy was not eternal, and he fell ill and died in Baqiu while preparing to capture Yizhou. When Zhou Yu died, Xiao Qiao was not by his side.
After Zhou Yu's death, the two sisters of Big and Little Qiao became widows, which is the greatest sorrow for women. There are not many records in the history books about the final outcome of Big and Small Joe, and the most widely said is that the two sisters eventually returned to the mountains and forests until they finally grew old.
