Tucked away halfway up the mountain, Mr. Shui Jing lives in a simple farmhouse with a lot of verdant bamboo planted in front of the door, and a small stream winding through it. A few people walked along the way, only felt that the scenery was beautiful, relaxed and happy, and had to sigh that the master would pick a place.

Jia Xu walked in front and chatted with Zhuge Liang from time to time. Although Zhuge Liang is young, he has been well-read since he was a child, very cultured, and has been cultivated for so many years, so he naturally talks extraordinary, and his opening of his mouth has aroused Jia Xu's interest. And although Fa Zheng didn't want to talk to Zhuge Liang very much, when he saw Shen Xian staring at Zhuge Liang's eyes, he had to pout and say a few words, following Shen Xian's meaning to probe Zhuge Liang's bottom.

But no matter how Jia Xu and Fa Zheng set up, Zhuge Liang quietly dissolved it, and after a few temptations, Fa Zheng was too lazy to go around in circles, and Jia Xu had to admit that this young man is so leaky now, what kind of demon will he grow into in the future.

Zhuge Liang was also very curious about the identities of several people, but he didn't ask directly, so Jia Xu pretended to be confused, and used the reason of "Zhang Song's relatives" to vaguely confuse it, otherwise he really didn't know how to introduce the four of them, especially Shen Xian - the corners of Shen Xian's mouth twitched when he heard Shen Xian's fake identity.

Shen Xian didn't pay attention to the undercurrent floating in front of her, she was holding Diao Chan's arm to look around at the scenery, she was the most calm among several people, and she really felt that she had come to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

Recently, Shen Xian's belly has begun to show her pregnancy, but her figure has always been slender and slender, so it is not very obvious that she is wearing a loose dress, but Diao Chan always looks at Shen Xian's belly, and she seems to be very worried.

Speaking of letting pregnant women climb the mountain, Diao Chan Jia Xu and Fa Zheng both refused at first, but it was obviously more dangerous to leave Shen Xian alone at the bottom of the mountain, and Zhuge Liang repeatedly assured that the mountain road was not steep and easy to climb, so the three of them let Shen Xian get off the carriage - she suddenly opened the curtain and jumped down to talk to Zhuge Liang before, and was strictly □□ and careful precautions by the three of them afterwards.

"Madam, you slow down," Diao Chan pulled Shen Xian to avoid a gravel field: "When the road under your feet." ”

Shen Xian couldn't cry or laugh: "I'm fine, Xiaochan, don't be so nervous." ”

Shen Xian didn't understand why Diao Chan was so careful, she had developed to the point of nervousness in the past two days.

Diao Chan pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "Madam, it's not easy to have a child, and it's not easy for him to grow up, even if he ...... You still have to be careful. ”

Diao Chan's voice was a little gloomy, Shen Xian was stunned when she heard this, as if she had thought of something, she involuntarily probed Diao Chan's wrist.

Diao Chan subconsciously struggled, but in the end he quieted down and let Shen Xian hold it.

Shen Xian stopped and stood on the side of the road, the two of them looked at each other speechlessly, and shook each other for a while, Shen Xian's brows gradually wrinkled: "You...... Losing money? ”

Diao Chan bit her lower lip and nodded: "Before...... Miscarriage. ”

Shen Xian breathed a sigh of relief: "In this way, it's not that I can't recuperate, but my level is not high, so let the master come." ”

Diao Chan's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard that her deficiency could be cured, and her eyes looked at Shen Xian with hope, seeing Shen Xian's heart tremble, she held Diao Chan's hand and patted it: "Believe me, it's not that there is no cure, but the trouble is certain, and it may not be completely cured, it depends on what the master says." ”

"That's already good." Diao Chan gently hooked the corners of his lips: "I didn't expect ......"

It's a pity that no matter how much it can be cured, her and Lu Bu's child is gone after all, and there will never be one from now on.

Several people stopped and waited at the door of Mr. Shuijing's house, Zhuge Liang entered the door with Zhang Song's letter of recommendation to report, Jia Xu finally found an opportunity to tell Shen Xian: "Lord, just listen to it for a while." ”

Shen Xian stared at Jia Xu faintly, and just when Jia Xu thought that Shen Xian would say "I won't talk if I don't want it" again, Shen Xian nodded slowly: "Okay." ”

Happiness came too quickly, Jia Xu was a little overwhelmed for a moment, but at this time Zhuge Liang came out, so Jia Xu's attention suddenly returned to Zhuge Liang's body, and there was no time to think about whether Shen Xian was serious or wanted to make trouble again.

Zhuge Liang said that Mr. Shui Jing went out, and it would take a while to come back, so he took everyone to the reception room to sit for a while.

You can't keep poking at the gate of other people's houses, so everyone followed Zhuge Liang in.

Walking into the small courtyard, Shen Xian's wandering eyes fell on a small fence enclosed in the corner of the courtyard, where there was a small deer with spotted wet eyes lying in it, and chewing grass in its mouth. Shen Xian couldn't walk after a glance, she broke away from the crowd unorganized and undisciplined, and quietly cated over, Diao Chan was the first to discover Shen Xian's actions, she helped her forehead, whispered something to Jia Xu, and quietly turned around to chase Shen Xian.

Jia Xu coughed and said to Zhuge Liang: "I'm sorry, my wife is a little bored and wants to sit in the courtyard, so I won't go in." ”

Zhuge Liang's gaze fell on Shen Xian's back, and he watched with great interest as Shen Xian looked at the deer raised by Mr. Shuijing on the fence gate. Although Jia Xu has always been chatting with him, it seems that Jia Xu is the boss of these people, but along the way, how could Zhuge Liang, who is as smart as Zhuge Liang, not see that the attention of the other three has always been on Shen Xian? And when he was at the bottom of the mountain, Shen Xian lifted the curtain and asked him for his name, and finally gave him a hexagram, that kind of rather casual attitude and determined tone, if it wasn't for someone who had been in the top position for a long time, he wouldn't have it.

There have been more mysterious people these years, and Zhuge Liang knows that he shouldn't know the truth of not being curious, but he must have a bottom in his heart about the identities of the visitors, so that he can judge whether these people will bring trouble to himself and Mr. Shuijing's life, and take measures in time.

The woman is the master, is she the wife of a family from which she is born? What is the purpose of bringing people to visit Mr. Suijing? No, the remaining three don't look like subordinates in terms of behavior or conversation, which is strange......

Zhuge Liang thought about it and asked, "If it's a gentleman, don't mind." Why don't we set a table in the yard? The weather is a little hot, and the house is damp, which is really sluggish. ”

Zhuge Liang's mention won Jia Xu's heart, and he nodded: "It's troublesome." ”

"You're welcome, sir." Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, asked a few people to wait here for a while, and he took the boys to move the table to get tea.

Shen Xian didn't rush into the deer pen, she just stared at the deer on the fence at first.

Judging by the size, this is still a young male deer, with fluffy antler velvet on its head, and it has not yet grown horns, of course, it may have fallen off. The fawn had been obediently lying in the corner eating grass before, and when it heard Shen Xian's footsteps, its eyes rolled and its ears moved, and it looked over very vigilantly.

Shen Xian held her chin and looked at the fawn without blinking, girls generally like this kind of fluffy and beautiful little animal, and she was not exempt from vulgarity, if it wasn't for the hostility and vigilance in the fawn's eyes, Shen Xian would have reached out and touched its head at that time.

"It's a sika deer," Diao Chan walked to Shen Xian's side and stretched out his head to take a look, his eyes swept over the white markings like plum blossoms on the deer's buttocks: "It's still young, about a year or two old." ”

Shen Xian looked at Diao Chan in surprise: "How do you know?" ”

Diao Chan smiled: "Before...... He also gave me one, which I kept and later stayed in Chang'an. ”

Shen Xian suddenly felt particularly envious.

Diao Chan was afraid that Shen Xian would have a whim, and when Mr. Shui Jing came back, she asked him for a deer, so she tactfully persuaded: "Actually, this thing is all over the mountains, if Madam wants it, wouldn't it be good to go back and let the master hunt one for you when he hunts?" ”

Shen Xian almost burst out laughing, she waved her hand and said meaningfully: "Forget it, it's better for me to do things like deer myself." ”

Shen Xian insisted on being the background board outside the fence, she tried her best to communicate with the deer with kind eyes, holding a handful of Ming Codonopsis sponsored by Zhuge Liang in her hand, and after seducing her for a long time, the lazy deer finally stood up and moved slowly in front of Shen Xian.

The fawn straightened up and stared at Shen Xian for a long time, tentatively stretching her neck to reach the Ming Dangshen that Shen Xian handed to it.

Shen Xian's arms were stretched out and raised for most of the day and were still very steady, and the leaves of Ming Codonopsis did not even shake, as if she didn't feel tired at all, and Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes slightly.

Finally, the fawn gnawed and gnawed on the Ming Codonopsis, Shen Xian let go, and the fawn lowered her head and began to chew the leaves. Seeing that the timing was about the same, Shen Xian unscrewed the fence gate, she picked up her skirt and squatted in front of the fawn, stretched out her fingers and gently touched the fawn's back.

The fawn's ears moved, but it didn't run away, letting Shen Xian follow its smooth fur, and when it finished gnawing on this Ming Codonopsis, it raised its head and gently touched Shen Xian's cheek with the deer's mouth. After kissing, the fawn turned around and walked back to the corner to lie down, leaving Shen Xian, who was secretly attacked, squatting in place in a daze.

"Ahh After a long time, Shen Xian turned her head violently, she covered her face with one hand, and looked at Diao Chan excitedly with wide eyes: "It kisses me!" ”

"It's rare." Diao Chan pulled Shen Xian up and helped her pat the grass clippings off her skirt: "Deer are very afraid of people." ”

"Indeed," Zhuge Liang nodded slowly, "This deer raised by Mr. usually does not let people get close, and only when the teacher feeds it, it will come over and get close, maybe it is Madame's extraordinary bearing that impresses it." ”

Shen Xian's afterglow caught a glimpse of Zhuge Liang's inquiring gaze, she smiled at Zhuge Liang, and then lowered her eyelashes: "Childe is really good at talking." ”

Zhuge Liang's face was choked by Shen Xian: "Uh-"

Wait, this lady, I didn't mean that!

Jia Xu pretended not to see it, Fa Zhengze almost laughed, and he threw a sympathetic glance at Zhuge Liang.

Shen Xian's temper has been weird a lot since she became pregnant, sometimes she obediently stays to read books and eat snacks, and sometimes she goes around messing around and bullying people - in view of the environment Shen Xian is in now, there is only one Fa Zheng who can be bullied by her. The so-called heaven and earth are big, and the pregnant woman is the largest, and this pregnant woman is still the lord, so Fazheng can't fight back, and he can't hide far away, and he is unspeakably miserable by Shen Xian. Now that Shen Xian has finally found a new toy, he is happy and at the same time bows a tear of sympathy for the newcomer.

Shen Xian doesn't care, she only takes advantage of words, but Yizhou still has a vinegar jar, in case he knows about it in the future......

Take care, boy, I won't say it.

Just when Zhuge Liang's face was flushed and he didn't know how to explain it, the arrival of a person resolved his embarrassment.

Compared with Zhuge Liang, this newcomer looks very ordinary, but his eyes are very beautiful, and his eyes are full of cunning aura, and he knows at a glance that he is not an ordinary child.

"Kong Ming!" The man ran into the yard in the wind: "Mr. is not there?" I have a question for him—"

The young man's words came to an abrupt halt as he noticed that the courtyard was full of people, and that everyone had looked up at him in the same posture.

"This, this, this!" The young man was instantly stunned: "I didn't know that Mr. had a guest...... It's rude! ”

"Shiyuan, I said that you should go slowly." There was a person behind the young man, who sighed, patted the young man's shoulder, stepped forward and hugged his fist at Jia Xu and said: "My surname is Xu Mingshu Zi Yuanzhi, this is Pang Tong Pang Shiyuan, we are Mr. students, we came here to bid farewell to Mr., and I don't know that there are distinguished guests here, if there is rudeness, I hope to forgive my sins." ”

Jia Xu stood up and waved his hand: "It's okay." ”

Shen Xian, who was leaning on the edge of the deer pen, grabbed Diao Chan's arm, and in her puzzled gaze, Shen Xian slowly shook her head, calming her heart that was a little excited for a moment.

Hey, what kind of luck did you hit today, Ji Han's three strategists were all fished into a net pocket.

No, it's four! Shen Xian squinted her eyes and looked at Fa Zheng's back, he was standing behind Jia Xu dutifully playing the identity of a "good nephew".

"Resignation? Are you leaving? Zhuge Liang's embarrassment of being teased by Shen Xian successfully dissipated, and he looked at the two behind him with some shock: "At this time? Where to go? ”

"It's me who wants to go, and if I don't leave, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave." Xu Shu had a gentle, comfortable face at first glance, but at this time he frowned slightly, looking a little worried: "Liu Yuanjun sent someone to invite me, but I don't want to ...... in Nanyang."

Nanyang's Liu Yuanjun can only refer to Liu Biao, and it seems that he has been recruiting talents everywhere recently.

"I want to go out for a walk, too." Pang Tong said: "I'm going to go to the south to try it first, it is said that the one in Yizhou is recruiting talents." ”

Shen Xian thought to herself, I don't seem to have said it...... It must be a few texts, and it even makes my heart haha.

"Kong Ming, aren't you going?" Pang Tong looked at Zhuge Liang seriously: "You are more talented than me, you shouldn't be trapped in this small Nanyang County." ”

A look of hesitation flashed on Zhuge Liang's face, and then he shook his head: "No, I don't want to ...... right now I have unanswered questions, so I'd better stay and concentrate on reading. ”

"What's the doubt?" Pang Tong pouted: "No, I just don't know-"

As he spoke, Pang Tong realized that he had lost his words, he closed his mouth suddenly, his eyes swept over the other people in the courtyard, and he smiled for a long time: "Forget it, don't talk about this, since you don't want to, then continue to lie down here in Nanyang, Wolong." ”

mentioned the name given to Zhuge Liang by Pang Degong, Zhuge Liang's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered the hexagram that Shen Xian said to him when he met Shen Xian and his party at the foot of the mountain before.

The first hexagram, don't use the hidden dragon, isn't it his current situation?

However, Zhuge Liang saw Shen Xian for the first time, and he was sure that the two had never seen each other before, why could Shen Xian see his current situation at a glance? Is she messing around, or is she really capable?

For a while, Zhuge Liang's heart was a little chaotic.

Closing his eyes, Zhuge Liang diverted the topic: "Speaking of this, Liu Yuanjun also came to invite Mr., but Mr. refused." ”

"That ......" Pang Tong was very worried, and he said bluntly: "Liu Jingsheng is narrow-minded, will he ......?"

"No, it won't." Shen Xian, who had been teasing the deer, suddenly spoke: "Liu Jingsheng can't afford to provoke your husband." ”

As soon as Shen Xian spoke, everyone's attention was attracted, after all, there were only two women here, she and Diao Chan, and they were both very beautiful. Pang Tong and Xu Shu didn't look closely before, and they always thought that Shen Xian and Diao Chan were Jia Xu's maids or concubines, but how could ordinary people's maids interject indiscriminately when their masters were talking? Moreover, at a glance, you can know that Shen Xian and Diao Chan have extraordinary bearings, so naturally they will not be servants and the like.

"This ...... Girl? Pang Tong blinked and asked tentatively, "Are you ......?"

Shen Xian smiled, Fa Zheng glanced at her, and continued: "Liu Jingsheng only thought of asking for talents at this time, it's too late, Nanyang will change hands soon, he is too busy to take care of himself, how can he take care of others." ”

As soon as Fa Zheng's voice fell, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and Xu Shu all changed their faces.

"Childe is so imposing." There was a chuckle from outside the door, and an old man with white hair and shone spirit stepped into the courtyard quickly, his eyes were like torches, and he glanced around, everyone was forced to be a little confused by his eyes, even Jia Xu lowered his head slightly, only Shen Xian kept looking at him with a smile.

The two looked at each other for a final moment, then looked away.

Pang Tong greeted the old man and hugged him: "Sir! ”

"Shiyuan." The old man patted Pang Tong's arm and turned his gaze to Xu Shu: "Where are you going?" ”

"When I go back to the teacher, the students haven't made up their minds yet." Xu Shu touched his head a little embarrassedly: "I plan to go to Yanzhou first." ”

"Let's go to Yizhou together!" Pang Tong said: "The situation in Yanzhou is turbulent, and it is not a good place to go. ”

"Not necessarily." Xu Shu smiled: "I think that Meng Degong still has room for reversal." ”

Xu Shu and Pang Tong gathered around Mr. Shui Jing You said a word, but Zhuge Liang found that Sima Hui's attention was not on the two students, he kept looking at Shen Xian by the deer pen, and his eyes flashed with inexplicable meaning.

Shen Xian stopped looking at Sima Hui after looking at him, her attention was not even on Pang Tong and Xu Shu, who were discussing the situation in the world, she turned back to look at the fawn again.

The fawn didn't know when it stood up and walked to the fence, it took a step back and bent its front legs at Shen Xian and lowered its head, looking as if a shy girl was curtsy with her skirt.

"But I don't have it." Facing the fawn's clear eyes, Shen Xian was a little distressed, she reached out and gently touched the fawn's furry horns: "If I knew you were here, I would have brought more delicious food...... Do you want to talk about Mei? It's just a little sour. ”

The fawn raised her head and touched Shen Xian's palm with her mouth.

"Then you can taste it." Shen Xian took out a purse from Diao Chan's sleeve, grabbed a small piece of sour plum and put it in the palm of her hand, the fawn licked it with her tongue, and then immediately took a few steps back.

Shen Xian: I've been hurt.

The fawn attacked by Shen Xian's sour plum fled to the corner, Shen Xian was a little sad, and before the feeling of hypocrisy was over, she heard someone behind her: "It is usually very afraid of strangers." ”

"Zhuge Gongzi has already said this once." Shen Xian turned around and bowed to Mr. Shui Jing, who walked alone: "I have heard the name of Mr. for a long time, and I can see it today, and I am fortunate to have three lives." ”

Mr. Shui Jing smiled slightly, and he said in a low voice: "My lord is polite, the old man is a mountain and a villager, how can he get his reputation?" ”

Shen Xian's pupils shrank slightly, her gaze fell over Mr. Shuijing's shoulders and landed in the courtyard not far away, Xu Shu and Pang Tong whispered something, Zhuge Liang glanced over here from time to time, but they all avoided Shen Xian's gaze, Jia Xu and Fa Zheng took a few steps back and stood very close to Shen Xian.

"What do you say, sir?" Shen Xian pretended not to understand and asked again.

Mr. Shui Jing shook his head: "Why should my lord deny it, although the old man is short-sighted, he still has this bit of vision, and you are the first one in the world to hold the position of a captain as a woman." ”

The casualness on Shen Xian's body disappeared, she slowly stood up straight, and looked at Mr. Shui Jing with a soft gaze: "Mr. seems to have something to say to me?" ”

Mr. Shui Jing pointed in the direction of the study: "My lord, can you enjoy the light and enter the room?" ”

Shen Xian let go of Diao Chan's hand, she rolled up her sleeves and bowed her head: "Sir, please." ”
