Chapter Ninety-Four: Long Admiring the Great Name
The news about Liu Biao, Huang Chengyan and others came faster than Zhang Guang expected, and the news came just after dawn the next day.
The city defense of Xiangyang has been strengthened.
Mrs. Cai went to Huang Chengyan's house, but left quickly.
Pang Gongde and Mr. Shui Jing stayed in the Huang Mansion last night.
"Wei Zhen, get ready to prepare, go to the Huangfu to propose to you."
"Lord, am I going?" Xu Shu asked.
"You wait here for Pang Tong and Tai Shi Ci and them, Tai Shi Ci has arrived, let him wait for us here with you, as soon as Pang Tong and Wang Yi arrive, let them go to Huangfu to find us."
"Okay!" Xu Shu has been separated from his old mother for a long time, and he can't wait to spend more time with her here.
It was not far from Pang Tong's house to Huangfu, the two of them set off in the morning with three carriages, and arrived at Huangfu before noon.
Huangfu estimated that he had received the news that Zhang Guang and Wei Zhen had arrived, but this time the door was open, and as soon as Zhang Guang and Wei Zhen arrived, someone led the coachman to drive the carriage from the side to the backyard.
The housekeeper Lao Niu led Zhang Guang and the two directly into the main hall.
"Master, madam, Master Zhang and Wei Zhen have arrived."
As soon as they entered the main hall, Huang Chengyan and Cai sat in the main seat, and Mr. Shui Jing and Pang Gongde sat in the guest seats on the left.
"Haha, Mr. Shuijing is also here, and Mr. Lao Shuijing will introduce you seniors." Zhang Guang naturally knew who everyone was here, but since he was here to propose to Wei Zhen, it was better to be cautious.
Huang Chengyan and Cai's eyes, both staring at Wei Zhen, couldn't help but feel a little depressed: This is too thin, it is estimated that there is only skin and bones left in the body, I really don't know how Zhang Guang usually abuses his prime minister, and in such a rich place in Hanzhong, he has become so thin.
"Zhang Guang, this is our Jingzhou celebrity, Pang De Pang Gong!" Mr. Shui Jing pointed to the old man next to him.
Zhang Guang and Wei Zhen inevitably stepped forward to be polite.
"These two are the people you want to see today, Yueying's father Huang Chengyan Huang Lao, and Yueying's mother Cai."
"The junior Zhang Guang has seen Huang Lao and Mrs. Huang." Zhang Guangfang made a junior salute, and Wei Zhen also politely greeted him.
Huang Chengyan and Mrs. Huang seemed to have a lot of opinions about the affairs of Zhang Guangwei's mansion, and did not answer, Mr. Shui Jing asked Zhang Guang and Wei Zhen to sit on the right side of the house.
"Master, madam, Prince Zhuge Kongming is out asking to see you." The housekeeper Lao Niu ran and said.
"Zhuge Kongming? Haha, the virtuous nephew is also here, please please, please. Huang Chengyan laughed and left his seat, and went to the gate to greet him in person.
Wei Zhen also wanted to get up, but was stopped by Zhang Guang, and Cai was embarrassed to ignore people with a shelf, so he picked up the wine cup and motioned for Zhang Guang and Wei Zhen to drink together.
"The junior Zhuge Kongming has seen Pang Gong and the teacher." A tall junior walked in after Huang Chengyan.
Zhang Guang squinted, he was eight feet long, not much shorter than Xu Shu, his face was like a crown of jade, he was wearing a scarf, and he had not yet held a feather fan in his hand, but he already had a bit of a delicate and elegant temperament.
Zhang Guang sighed in his heart, such a talented and ambitious capable man ended up with a tragic ending of exhaustion and death on the road of conquest.
"This is Mr. Zhuge Kongming, right? I've admired the name for a long time! Under the great Han life division Zhang Guang. Zhang Guang got up to greet him, and he really didn't tell a lie, he has admired his name for a long time, and he has admired it for many years.
"It's the same, the prestige of Zhang Guang, the master of the Han Dynasty, can often be heard in the past two years." Zhuge Kongming was ready to greet his peers, but he was pulled by Zhang Guang and came directly to a big hug.
"Haha, I didn't expect that I, Zhang Guang, would be able to meet Zhuge Kongming of the Three Kingdoms in the future, haha, in this life, it's worth it, haha!"
For Zhang Guang's rude behavior, Cai couldn't help frowning, and beckoned: "Old Niu, prepare a seat for Zhuge Kongming." ”
"No, no, Mr. Zhuge Kongming and Mr. Wei Zhen, both of them are Huang Yueying's suitors, just let the two of them sit together and communicate with each other!"
Zhang Guang said and pulled Zhuge Kongming to Wei Zhen's seat, Wei Zhen hurriedly got up and moved to the side, making way for Zhuge Kongming.
Zhuge Kongming estimated that he had never met such an unreasonable barbarian, so he had no choice but to sit next to Wei Zhen, and Lao Niu added a pair of chopsticks.
"Okay, don't hold it, anyway, everyone knows about it, Huang Lao, what do you say!" Mr. Shui Jing finished speaking, and drained a glass of wine in one gulp.
"Well, let's talk about Pang Gong, Pang Gong, please!" Huang Chengyan didn't want to say more.
"Hehe, it's okay, Yueying also grew up watching me since I was a child, and it's not an exaggeration to call me grandpa, today, I'll host this scene." Pang Gongde got up and came to the middle of the main hall.
"Originally, we wanted to make an appointment with Zhang Guang and Wei Zhen first, and then discuss with Zhuge Kongming, but I didn't expect that you all came to Huang Lao's Mansion today, as if they had made an appointment."
"In this case, it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun, so we will settle the matter of Yueying today."
"Last night, Mr. Shui Jing and I accompanied Huang Lao's family to discuss until midnight, Yueying is indeed towards Wei Zhen, but Huang Lao has already made a marriage contract with Zhuge Kongming, so both of you have a reason to marry Yueying."
"So what to do? We have come up with such a way, you two have a fair competition, and it is up to me and Mr. Shui Jing to decide, who is more suitable for Yueying. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Guang was happy in his heart, he was originally rushing to let Wei Zhen and Zhuge Kongming compete on the same stage, but he didn't expect them to settle on this method one step ahead of themselves.
At the same time, Zhang Guang also felt a little sad for Huang Yueying, and it was up to outsiders to decide who was more suitable to be her husband.
"How do you fight?" Pang Gongde continued.
"First of all, Yueying's parents will each ask a question, and the two of you will answer."
"Then, the two of you are free to have a good debate, and as for what you want, it's up to you to decide."
"How? Do you have any comments? ”
Zhuge Kongming got up and said, "Then there is Lao Pang Gong, I don't have any opinion." ”
Wei Zhen looked at Zhuge Kongming, then at Zhang Guang, and also got up and said: "The seniors are hard, I have no opinion, but no matter what, I have to marry Yueying." ”
"Wei Zhen, you don't have to say anything about this matter alone, you have to ask me if I agree." Zhuge Kongming said with a smile.
"I only ask Yue Yingtong if she agrees." Wei Zhen said.
Zhang Guang sighed in his heart that this is the collision of enlightened thinking and traditional thinking.
Zhuge Kongming is really omnipotent, military, political, literature, etc., are all experts, but he still can't get rid of the shackles of traditional thinking, and subconsciously he is still inferior to men.
"Okay, since you don't have any opinions, then let Huang Lao and Mrs. Huang start asking questions."
As soon as Pang Gongde saw that Wei Zhen was about to pinch up with Zhuge Kongming, he hurriedly lifted out Huang Chengyan and Cai's and blocked their mouths.
