Xiangyang City is quiet at night.

It's freezing now, and there are few activities at night. The bustling city has become quiet.

In the west of the city, a rather remote house.

Although the location of this house is partial, its back is close to the mountain and water. There is a row of low bamboo at the gate of the yard, and some evergreen trees in winter. The environment is quite elegant.

This is Zhuge Liang's house.

Zhuge Liang spent most of his time studying in lumen mountain. However, he has a residence near lumen mountain. Besides, he also has an estate near Longzhong, which is to the west of Xiangyang.

His family is quite rich.

After all, Zhuge family is a big family.

Although the Zhuge family moved from Langya to Jingzhou, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, so it was not weak. In addition, after Zhuge's family arrived in Xiangyang, Zhuge Liang's two elder sisters, one married Kuai Qi of the Kuai family, and the other married Pang Degong's son.

Zhuge family has successfully integrated into Jingzhou scholar circle.

So there are not many industries.

During this time, Zhuge Liang did not live in lumen mountain, but in Xiangyang City.

Because he is interested in rice paper.

The rice paper made by Huang family is sold on a large scale in Xiangyang. Because of its good texture and ink tolerance, Xuan paper is popular and praised by countless scholars.

Moreover, rice paper is not expensive.

Many people can afford it.

So now Xuan paper has replaced bamboo slips.

Zhuge Liang also bought a lot of rice paper. He wanted to visit the Huang family to see how rice paper was made. The problem is that his relationship with the Huang family is a little awkward now, and it's not so good to go to the Huang family.

So, we have to stay in the city.

That night, Zhuge Liang was still copying classics.

Zhuge family is a big family, there are many bamboo slips, these bamboo slips pile up a lot, a pile of a book, not conducive to carry. What he wants to do is copy the classic books on bamboo slips onto rice paper.

Often hundreds of Jin bamboo slips are transcribed and copied onto rice paper, and not much rice paper is used. Moreover, books are made into volumes, which are easy to carry with you.

Copying books is also a great pleasure.

"Dong! Dong

Knock on the door, from outside the study.

His bookboy stood outside the door and said in a loud voice, "young master, there is a visitor outside the mansion. He said that he was attracted by his name."

"Please

In his eyes, Ge Jingliang put down his brush.

Come with admiration?

What fame can he have?

Pang Degong praised him very much. His reputation, that is to say, spread among the Xiangyang gentry circle. Few people know about him for the time being. After all, he is not old.

He was sitting in his seat, waiting quietly.

Soon, there was a sound of footwork outside the room.

Then there was a knock on the door.

"Creak!"

The door was pushed open, and a tall, angular cheeked, sharp eyed middle-aged man in black entered.

When the middle-aged man saw Zhuge Liang, he arched his hand and said, "I've seen Mr. Zhuge!"

Zhuge Liang, with a cool look, waved his hand to show the middle-aged man to take his seat and said slowly, "look at your face. Some of your faces are strange. I'm sure I haven't seen them before. You said that you came here with admiration. I don't know what happened? "

The middle-aged man lifted up his robe and sat down. He said with a smile, "Mr. Zhuge is young, intelligent and gifted. He is not only familiar with the art of war, but also knows how to govern the country. With Mr. Wang's ability, he will become a prime minister in the future. "

Zhuge Liang chuckled, but shook his head.

He didn't believe that.

Although Zhuge Liang was confident that his talent would be displayed, he didn't believe in flattery.

Courtesy to others, there must be a request!

People in front of them do not answer, but praise. They must have a purpose, especially when they come to him in the evening.

Zhuge Liang thought thoroughly, and no longer asked, but said: "your name, where do you come from?"

Middle aged humanist: "to tell you the truth, Mr. Zhuge will come from Jiangdong next week."

Zhuge Liang's heart moved, and he had a general direction. He said, "Mr. Zhou came from Jiangdong, and found me in the middle of the night. What's the matter?"

Zhou Zhong faced Zhuge Liang. Although he was already in his early 30s, he was already an adult, and Zhuge Liang was less than 20 years old, he did not dare to underestimate Zhuge Liang.

He knew that Zhuge Liang understood his identity.

As a matter of fact, Zhou Zhong was the person Zhou Yu arranged to go to Xiangyang to inquire into the information of Xiangyang so as to spread it to Jiangdong.

Today's sun CE occupies the land of Jiangdong.

Although sun CE was in Jiangdong, he always wanted to attack Jingzhou and avenge his father Sun Jian. So after sun CE established his foothold in Jiangdong, he negotiated with Zhou Yu and dispatched Zhou Zhong, a steady and reliable member of the Zhou family, to Xiangyang to lurk down first, and to make an emergency to inquire about the news.Zhou Zhong still didn't answer Zhuge Liang's question, and continued: "I heard that Zhang Xiu had met Huang Chengyan when she went to Xiangyang, and asked Pang Degong to marry Huang Chengyan. Does Mr. Zhuge know about this? "

Zhuge Liang said, "what's the matter that everyone knows

Zhou Zhong said, "is Mr. Zhuge willing?"

Zhuge Liang said, "what are you willing to do?"

Zhou Chongshen said in a deep voice: "if there is no Zhang Xiu's intervention, the son-in-law of the Huang family must be Mr. Zhuge. Because Zhang Xiu was born, it blocked your way. Zhang Xiu is your enemy of Zhuge Liang. Now that Zhang Xiu is married to Huang Yueying, are you willing? "

This is to stimulate Zhuge Liang.

After all, it's young people. Once Zhuge Liang is willing to step in, things will be easy.

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "it's mine, after all, it's mine. Not mine, not mine after all, why force? What's more, without Zhang Xiu's intervention, I must be the son-in-law of the Huang family? Once I didn't propose to marry Huang Yueying, second I didn't have a childhood relationship with Huang Yueying, third I didn't decide to marry Huang Yueying. How can I conclude that I will marry Huang Yueying? "

Zhou Zhong suddenly raised his eyebrows.

Zhuge Liang was unwilling to cooperate with him because he did not import some oil and salt.

But Zhou Zhong did not give up and said again, "Mr. Zhuge, the wise don't talk in secret. Huang Chengyan, the old man, had a crush on you. But because Huang Yueying went north to Yuyang county and had a good relationship with Zhang Xiu, the situation changed. You just give up your hands and take care of people... "

"Shut up

Zhuge Liang gave a loud drink.

His eyebrows stand upright, his eyes become sharper than ever, his eyes are burning at Zhou Zhong, and he says in a deep voice, "if you don't have anything, please come back."

Zhou Zhong was not angry and said, "Mr. Zhuge, don't be angry. As long as you like, I can transfer a group of people to you and let you command. With your ability, I believe you will win Zhang Xiu and Huang Yueying back. My people are all first-class

"Ha ha ha..."

When Zhuge Liang heard the speech, he began to laugh.

Laughter is full of irony.

He raised his head, chin slightly up, his face was full of pride, and said with a loud voice: "what Zhuge Liang wants to fight for, he will fight with his ability, and he won't borrow others' hands, let alone make a knife in their hands. You've got the wrong idea to use a knife to kill people. I can't and will never be the knife in your hand. "

"You..."

Zhou Zhong frowned deeply.

He didn't expect that Zhuge Liang was so stubborn that he didn't cooperate at all.

Zhou Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "ZHUGE Liang, are you still not a man?"

Zhuge Liang stood up, looked down at Zhou Zhong and said, "it's because I'm a seven foot man that Zhuge Liang won't be provoked by you."

"Although Huang Yueying is a talented woman with a unique style, she is a good match. But I Zhuge Liang, it is not that I can't find a woman, nor that I am narrow-minded, because if a woman doesn't choose me, she will become angry and harm others. "

"I don't care about it!"

"If you want to deal with Zhang Xiu, you have to stir up the relationship between Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu and break the relationship. It's your own business. Don't provoke me. Otherwise, I Zhuge Liang will let you go. "

Zhuge Liang said: "tonight, I will not care about you. If you mess around again, I'm sure you can't have a foothold in Xiangyang. "

Week weight and face color changed slightly.

He knew that Zhuge family also had certain contacts and influence in Xiangyang. Once Zhuge Liang made a move, he would certainly be affected.

Zhuge Liang said, "please

"Goodbye!"

With regret in his heart, Zhou Zhong no longer stayed, so he got up and went out. Although he did not know Zhuge Liang, he knew that persuasion could not succeed when he heard his powerful words.

Zhuge Liang looked at Zhou Zhong's back and hummed coldly.

He and Huang Yueying, also only a few sides of the edge, nothing to fall in love with and so on. Although he has some ideas about Zhang Xiu's marriage to Huang Yueying, he will not interfere.

He has his persistence.

He is even more proud of himself.

He is Zhuge Liang!
