Chapter 15: The Marriage Contract

Suiyang, the capital of the Liang State.

Zhuge Liang only knew that this was the uncle of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the feudal state of Liu Wu, the king of Liang, but the rest did not know much.

This city, overlooking Suishui on the left and Mangdang Mountain on the right, is a natural city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Right now, Suiyang City has long been Cao Cao's territory!

Xuzhou is over, next, he Zhuge Liang only needs to return to Longzhong and wait for Liu Bei to come two years later.

Originally, returning the same way was not only much closer, but also safer. It's just that, seeing that Cao Cao's class teacher is imminent, Zhuge Liang doesn't want to meet Cao Cao in Daozuo. So, he could only choose to take the line of Suiyang.

The gallop of the Han Empire is still accessible in all directions. Starting from Peicheng, passing through Suiyang, Xuchang, and Ye County of Nanyang County, we were finally able to reach Xiangyang. It's just that this road is at least more than 300 miles away!

The sun had just turned west, and the ox cart of the Zhuge family drove into Suiyang City.

Originally, it was still early, and it was perfectly fine to travel for an hour or two before dark.

It's just that after Suiyang City, it is Mangdang Mountain, which stretches for more than 100 miles.

As the saying goes, there must be dense forests in the high mountains, and there must be bandits in the deep forests.

The day is fine, but the night is when the bandits are at their most rampant.

Zhuge Liang is not a martial artist, and the spell can only be cast by two or three now, and it is no problem to deal with three or five ordinary bandits, once he encounters dozens or hundreds of bandits, he Zhuge Liang is powerless.

What's more, as far as Zhuge Liang knows, many martial artists with good strength have a hobby of falling into the grass.

He Zhuge Liang has small arms and legs, and when he encounters a slightly stronger martial artist, he has nowhere to run.

Although,There's also a violent big Lori around.。

But there is also a saying, called "two fists are hard to beat four hands".

Lu Da Lori's strength has not yet reached the point of condensation, and she can't single-handedly take on several martial artists with similar strength.

Thirty-six plans, be careful, Zhuge Liang had to rest in Suiyang City for one night.

……

When later generations looked at the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang was curious.

When Cao Cao greeted the Son of Heaven, it seemed that he chased him to Mangdang Mountain.

At that time, the Son of Heaven fled from the western capital of Chang'an, passing through Mangdang Mountain, and then fled into the ruined eastern capital of Luoyang. It is said that this Mangdang Mountain is not very far from Luoyang, or between Luoyang and Xuchang, and it is more than a thousand miles away from Xuzhou!

Then, when Cao ** descended Guan Yu, he was actually in Mangdang Mountain.

You must know that it was Cao Cao who broke through Xuzhou, and Guan Yu was chased into Mangdang Mountain with the remnants!

Geographically speaking, this Mangdang Mountain should not be very far from Xuzhou, and it should not be more than two or three hundred miles to the left and right.

Then the problem comes, when Cao Cao welcomed the Son of Heaven, Mangdang Mountain was near Luoyang; When Cao Cao broke through Xuzhou, Mangdang Mountain was actually close to Xuzhou, and the difference between the two places was thousands of miles!

When later generations looked at the Three Kingdoms, they always felt that there was a contradiction here.

Now, it seems that this is not the case.

This Mangdang Mountain is not the other Mangdang Mountain.

In other words, there are two Mangdang Mountains.

one, which is Mangdang Mountain next to Suiyang City; There is another one, which is Mangdang Mountain near the left of Luoyang.

The Mangdang Mountain here in Suiyang City was inherited during the Yin Shang period. The Mangdang Mountain near the left of Luoyang is actually a mountain range, divided into Mangdang Mountain and Dangshan, and the local people call it Shun Mouth, and it becomes Mangdang Mountain.

The Mangshan Mountain here is the Beibi Mountain in various Xianxia novels in later generations, that is, the ghost mountain!

Zhuge Liang wants to pass by the foot of this Mangdang Mountain, as long as he is careful, he will naturally quickly figure out the difference between the two Mangdang Mountains.

……

Suiyang City was originally very prosperous, but at this time it looked a little dilapidated.

However, there should be wine shops and guest houses in the city, but they are still available.

Zhuge Liang entered the city from the east city gate, and was just about to let Uncle Niu find an inn wine shop to rest, when there was a crisp bell sound on the street, and then, a donkey with a bell appeared in Zhuge Liang's sight.

The donkey is not the point, the bell is not the point, the point is the old man on the donkey's back.

The old man on the donkey's back swayed from side to side, obviously slightly drunk; However, the moment he saw the old man, Zhuge Liang took three steps and made two steps, ran to the donkey, and bowed his hand and said: "Little son-in-law Zhuge Liang, meet your father-in-law!" ”

Yes, this old man riding a donkey is Zhuge Liang's father-in-law.

In other words, it is his future father-in-law, Huang Rong and Huang Chengyan.

Huang Chengyan, originally a famous man in Cannan, is not only his future father-in-law of Zhuge Liang, but also the elder uncle in his family.

It's a pity that Huang Chengyan has been cultivating for decades, but he has stopped at the sevenfold foundation building, and he has not been able to advance an inch for more than 20 years, and the Yin God Realm is hopeless in this life. Because the worldly fate is not over, Huang Chengyan married the eldest daughter of the Cai family, a big family in Xiangyang, when he was in his fifties.

Now, his wife Cai died early, and there is only one daughter under his knees, named Huang Yueying.

And this Huang Yueying is his Zhuge Liang's wife.

Of course, this is a matter of a past life.

In this life, although Huang Yueying is still his Zhuge Liang's wife, she has not yet passed the door.

When Zhuge Liang was fifteen or sixteen years old, his talent couldn't hold back and bubbled out, which is called talent.

It just so happened that Huang Chengyan was worried about the future of his beloved daughter at that time, and he fell in love with Zhuge Liang, a junior of the school, at a glance. After a little temptation, Zhuge Liang and Huang Chengyan had a verbal appointment and became his cheap son-in-law.

Later, his uncle Zhuge Xuan was in charge, and the three media and six hires were ready, even if this family affair was completely decided, he was only waiting for him Zhuge Liang to hold a coming-of-age ceremony, and then he would be able to marry Huang Chengyan's daughter.

Last year, before his uncle Zhuge Xuan was critically ill, he crowned Zhuge Liang in advance and held a coming-of-age ceremony.

It's a pity that Zhuge Liang still didn't have time to marry Sister Huang, and his uncle Zhuge Xuan died of illness. Then, Zhuge Liang's marriage was delayed. was also delayed, as well as the marriage of his brother Zhuge Jin.

In the Han system, when parents die, children must keep filial piety for three years, otherwise, it is unfilial.

Zhuge Xuan is Zhuge Liang's uncle, and he raised them since childhood.

The uncle died of illness, and according to the system, the three brothers of Zhuge had to keep filial piety for one year.

During the period of filial piety, the Zhuge family could not have the voice of silk and bamboo, nor could there be the joy of marriage, and there were no other taboos.

……

Although the soul is traversed, Zhuge Liang still recognizes this family business.

Huang Yueying is one year younger than Zhuge Liang, and she is just sixteen years old this year.

According to the system, men are crowned at the age of 20, women are 16 years old and they are adults, and Huang Yueying is just right at the age of this year.

Of course, last year, perhaps because he was in a hurry to marry his daughter, Huang Chengyan also held a coming-of-age ceremony for Sister Huang.

It's a pity that because his uncle Zhuge Liang died of illness, Zhuge Liang needed to keep filial piety, and the marriage was delayed.

The original owner, Zhuge Liang, has seen Sister Huang a few times, and in terms of the aesthetics of this era, her appearance is indeed very different from ordinary women. The yellow hair is slightly curly, and the complexion is as if it has been sunbathed and exposed to the sun in later generations, and it is not beautiful.

Of course, if you look at it from the perspective of later generations, if you want to say that Sister Huang is ugly, it is not necessarily true.

It can only be said that in terms of posture, Sister Huang's posture is also at an ordinary level.

But in this era, Sister Huang's appearance is a standard ugly woman.

Zhuge Liang doesn't mind Sister Huang's beauty and ugliness.

This is an era of male supremacy, and the emphasis is on three wives and four concubines.

When a man marries a wife, he mainly depends on whether his wife is virtuous or not, whether she can take care of the family in an orderly manner, and the whole family is harmonious, so as not to hold her husband back. As for the beauty and ugliness of the wife, it is secondary.

Because, if a man really likes beautiful women, and has the burden of economic strength, he can take another concubine.

This is the so-called, marrying a wife to take a virtuous person, and taking a concubine.

In the memory of his previous life, he Zhuge Liang seemed to have accepted a concubine!

Of course, Zhuge Liang is still willing to marry Sister Huang in this life, not to be able to take a concubine. With his Zhuge Liang's conditions, even if he doesn't marry Sister Huang, no matter who he marries in the future, if he wants to take a concubine, won't he still be able to take a concubine?

The more than 30 years of love in the previous life, the feelings engraved in the depths of the soul, this is the reason why Zhuge Liang still wants to marry Sister Huang!

What's more, Sister Huang is not only a good housekeeper, but her intelligence is not inferior to his Zhuge Liang!

In the sporadic memories of his previous life, Zhuge Liang knew that such as Zhuge Repeater's crossbow and Trojan horse flowing ox, these famous mechanism productions in later generations were not his Zhuge Liang's creations, but the masterpieces of his wife Huang Yueying.

The reason why he was branded as Zhuge Liang was mainly because Sister Huang wanted to help her husband Zhuge Liang.

And what about him Zhuge Liang?

It's shameless, just use it, and say with peace of mind that it's his Zhuge Liang's invention!

Like Huang Yueying, a strange woman who can run a family, think about him wholeheartedly, and silently support behind his back, can't be found with a searchlight in the future life, how can Zhuge Liang in this world be willing to miss it?

Therefore, Zhuge Liang at this moment, compared with his attitude towards his father-in-law in his previous life, is also a lot more respectful.

……

On the back of the donkey, Huang Chengyan came to his senses when he heard the sound.

As a monk who has achieved a small degree in cultivation, even if he can't enter the Yin God Realm, his mana is still very strong, and when he is free and easy, getting drunk is just the preference of people like them.

Don't look at how drunk they are, if they are really in danger, they can wake up in an instant with a little mana.

"It turned out to be Kong Ming, why did you get here?"

Huang Chengyan, who came to his senses, was quite surprised to see Zhuge Liang who suddenly appeared in front of him.

For Zhuge Liang's quasi-son-in-law, Huang Chengyan is still quite satisfied. To have good looks, to be talented, there is nothing to say about dealing with people, and the so-called young and handsome people in the Central Plains have been thrown out of dozens of streets!

Although it is said that the kid of the Pang family, whether it is talent or family background, can be compared with Zhuge Liang.

However, that kid was too frustrated to get into his Huang Chengyan's eyes.

Besides, Pang Tong has talents, but he always acts too extremely, and his temperament is not soft.

Therefore, after choosing a son-in-law and choosing a circle, Huang Chengyan's favorite is Zhuge Liang.

Don't think that his daughter Huang Chengyan is ugly, so he can't get married.

With their Huang family's relationship network, and as Cai's niece, if he Huang Chengyan releases the news of choosing a son-in-law, I am afraid that those so-called young heroes in the Central Plains will flock to Jingxiang!

Huang Chengyan just feels sorry for her daughter and wants to find a husband for her who really loves her and understands her!

And Zhuge Liang is Huang Chengyan's favorite!
