192 Each has a ghost
Kou Yan didn't know that Senior Brother Zhuge had given him such a big gift. If she knew that Huang Chengyan and Jiang Wan came to Changsha because Huang Chengyan was disappointed in Zhuge Liang, she would definitely be grateful to Zhuge Liang.
In fact, the reason why Zhuge Liang refused to marry Huang Yueying was also influenced by Kou Yan. After listening to Kou Yan's words at the apprenticeship banquet, Zhuge Liang made his future positioning clearer, and made a career by his own efforts, so that the Zhuge family was proud to have such an outstanding son as himself.
The members of the Zhuge clan are scattered, and the branch where Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin are located is in the south. Zhuge Liang lived in seclusion in Nanyang, but Zhuge Jin came out of Eastern Wu early. In addition to the two of them, there is also Zhuge Dan, who lives in the north, and his future partner is likely to be Cao Cao. The phenomenon of this tripartite service is very common in this era of the rise of the heroes, so Xu Shu persuaded Kou Yan not to care about the relationship between Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang and her senior brother and sister.
But just because others don't care doesn't mean they don't care about it, Zhuge Liang cares very much. He was young, he came out early, and he thought highly of himself. He hoped that one day the Zhuge clan would become famous and prosperous because of him. It can be said that Kou Yan's unintentional words stimulated a strong factor in his heart, which made him reject the olive branch handed over by Huang Chengyan.
Huang Chengyan, who was rejected, was extremely dull, and accompanied his lover all the way south, sighing all the time, and he also knew that positioning Xu Shu as a son-in-law candidate was destined to be disappointed more than hopeful. Therefore, he persuaded himself that this trip to Changsha should be a distraction.
Who knows, when the two of them passed through Dongting Lake, they saw that the merchant ships on the lake were very frequent, and they looked like they were flowing endlessly, and they felt a little strange in their hearts.
However, there was a peaceful and tranquil scene on Dongting Lake, and it was easy for Huang Chengyan to talk to the captain of a merchant ship, and the other party's answer suddenly raised Huang Chengyan's interest in Changsha. The captain said that he was a merchant from Wu, and since the two families negotiated peace, not only did the war stop, but there were also more cross-strait business and trade, and the lord of Wu let it go, but Changsha gave 120,000 sincerity.
As long as the merchant ships appear in Changsha, Wuling, Lingling, and Guiyang, whether they come to do business with the locals or just transit, after declaring some necessary information, they can be protected by the Changsha naval army, and they will have special warships to escort, provide berths, and even help load and unload goods.
Although it was a small matter, it brought great encouragement to the businessman. You must know that Shinong, businessmen, and businessmen have always been a disrespected group in the lower nine ranks. No matter how rich they are, they can't buy status and respect. But Kou Yan gave away the things they needed most for free, and the merchants were willing to go to her territory to do business, and even if war was imminent, they would feel that the water trade route between Soochow and Changsha was safe.
Listening to the contempt of others, coupled with the meticulous attitude of the Dongting Lake Navy in carrying out the task at close range, Huang Chengyan sighed: "Brother Yuanzhi is risking his life this time to compete with the north. It's a pity that Taishou is a female doll, and no matter how hard he tries, it's in vain. ”
"Master, the disciple doesn't think so. Brother Yuanzhi must have a reason for him to persevere, even if outsiders think that he is wasting time and energy in doing this, maybe she just wants to give others such an illusion to paralyze the enemy. ”
"What is paralyzing, that little girl of the Kou clan is not yet the age of Ji Xuan, she is simply a puppet, once the Cao thief goes south, it is easier to clean her up than to pinch an ant to death, Yuan Zhi is alone, it is simply difficult to support alone. Huang Chengyan sneered, Gongyan, I have persuaded and persuaded you as a teacher, and the truth has been told to you, you are blindly stubborn, and I am afraid that you will continue to suffer in the future. ”
"The disciple has lived most of his life peacefully, and now he doesn't want to live like this anymore. If God condemns me to fail, I'm going to try this time. Jiang Wan said categorically: "What's more, a half-grown girl can say that there are countless opportunities hidden in troubled times, which proves that she is an extraordinary girl, am I not even as good as a little girl?"
"That's it, the teacher said that he wouldn't persuade you, why don't you still give up, the teacher was also present that day, and the teacher you saw it was also seen," Huang Chengyan said angrily. The girl of the Kou family was in the limelight for a while, causing him to lose face in front of everyone, how could this matter be so light? Originally, he was a daughter who was ugly and ugly, and he had always occupied the position of the headlines of Xiangyang Daily, and he was full of topicality, but since this girl appeared to command, Huang Yueying no longer had the life of the headlines.
The reason why his daughter can't get married, Kou Yan has to bear part of the responsibility, the old man thought stubbornly. It's a pity that she is not a man, otherwise she must be responsible to the end. If Kou Yan knew that the old man thought so, it was estimated that he would vomit three liters of blood.
When Kou Yan knew that Huang Chengyan had arrived in Changsha and swaggered to Taishou Mansion to ask to see her, he was so surprised that his eyes were about to fall. Thanks to Cao Cao's blessing for a while, scholars from all over Jingzhou came to defect one after another, although basically Liu Bei picked the rest, but she still felt happy, Changsha was too short of people,
No, a while ago there was a guy named Yin, she even omitted the interview, the teacher said that this person was famous, and he was a good learner, so she directly threw a seal of Guiyang Taishou to him, and he was thrown to the border area without anyone seeing it.
This time when she heard Huang Chengyan coming, she almost had a green light in her eyes, although the old man had a strange temper, but he was the patriarch of a well-known high-ranking family in Jingzhou, he came to Changsha, even if he was just for tourism, he could use him to make some articles.
So, as soon as Huang Chengyan came to the door, Kou Yan immediately agreed to meet them. With Huang Chengyan, it is equivalent to having live advertisements; if he can mainstream Changsha, will Changsha still worry that there will be no talents? It is really not good, and it is also a great fortune to sweep up his disciples.
Huang Chengyan didn't know that he had been regarded as a dish by Kou Yan. She had to find a way to swallow all the dishes and the soup and water and digest them. His old man was still racking his brains to consider a way to recruit Xu Shu as his son-in-law.
