Chapter 147: Zhuge Liang is three years old
The person recommended by Zheng Xuan was Sun Gan, Su Chen agreed without thinking about it, although Sun Qian was not a top strategist, but he also had some talents to learn martial arts, and it was no problem to join the army, after agreeing to Zheng Xuan, he sent Sun Qian to Zhang Fei's military camp and became Zhang Fei's military advisor.

From Gaomi all the way to the south, soon arrived at Xuzhou Langya country, Xuzhou is located in the junction of Guanluo, Youyan, Jiangnan three important areas, has always been a battleground for soldiers.
But when he arrived in Langya Kingdom, Su Chen's first thought was the famous Brother Zhu in later generations.
"I don't know if Zhuge Liang is still in Langya Country now, maybe I can check it out, after all, this person is too fearful."
Just do it when you think of it, it just so happens that Zhang He has already built the bayonet headquarters in Qingzhou, and this Xuzhou cannot be left behind, so he immediately ordered Zhang He to investigate the situation of the Zhuge family in Langya State.
Zhang He lived up to expectations, and told him the next day that the current head of the Zhuge family is Zhuge Jue, who is the county of Taishan County, Zhuge Feng's ancestor Zhuge Feng was the captain of Sili when he was Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, and the Zhuge family is also the number one family in Langya Country, which is considered a medium family.
As for Zhuge Jin's family members, Zhang He also inquired clearly, Zhuge has a younger brother named Zhuge Xuan, and he himself now has three sons, the eldest son is named Zhuge Jin, who is ten years old, and the second son, Zhuge Liang, is now three years old, and the younger son is still in infancy.
In addition, Zhuge Jue also has two daughters, both of whom are seven or eight years old.
And Zhang He also told him a special news, now the Zhuge family is showing filial piety, and the person who died is Zhuge Liang's biological mother.
"How coincidentally?" At this time, he suddenly remembered a sentence in his mind, which he had watched when he watched a TV series in his previous life, and he couldn't remember the original text, to the effect that Zhuge Liang lost his mother at the age of three and his father at the age of eight, and followed his uncle Zhuge Xuan to the south to avoid chaos.
This sentence also confirms the fact that Zhuge Liang's family went south after the death of his father Zhuge Jue, and now Zhuge Jue is not dead, so it is not surprising that Zhuge family is still in Yangdu County, Langya State.
Although this demon has not yet grown up, Su Chen does not want to let him go, even if this person may be abolished in the future because he has not experienced so many tribulations in history, he does not want this person to become his strong opponent in the future, and it is in line with his cautious personality to strangle the enemy in infancy.
As soon as he thought of this, he immediately said to Zhang He: "Go, Junyi, prepare gifts, let's go to Zhuge 's house to condole." ”
"Condolence?" Zhang He didn't know what Su Chen was going to Zhuge to mourn, and said in his heart that people don't know you if they want to, is it really good to join in the fun? And at such a sensitive time?
Seeing Zhang He's curious look, Su Chen was not ready to explain, and he couldn't explain clearly, could he say that he knew that Zhuge Liang, who is now three years old, would be a demon in the future?
Let's not say that Zhang Hexiang doesn't believe his words, even if he does, what? For the sake of the above, there are some things that need not be explained so clearly to subordinates, and it is still necessary to maintain a little mystery.
After Zhang He prepared the gift, Su Chen only brought him and Dian Wei this time, and he didn't even bring Zhu Gongdao, and rushed to Yangdu directly.
The Zhuge family is a big family in Yangdu, and a little inquiry will know, and passers-by heard that they are guests who went to Zhuge to pay their respects, and they are also very enthusiastic to show him the way.
Seeing the Zhuge family's mansion, Su Chen knew in his heart, but he was afraid that it would not be easy to convince Zhuge Jue, just from the scale of this mansion, you can roughly see the strength of the Zhuge family now, not to mention much, at least it is much better than the situation of the Su family when he first crossed.
It's no wonder, not to mention that the ancestors of the Zhuge family are also high-ranking officials of 2,000 stones, let's just say that Zhuge himself, as a county magistrate of Taishan County, although his official position is small, his real power is very large, and the post of county keeper is the henchman of the county guard, only under the county guard, so it is not surprising that the Zhuge family now has such a background.
"Beizhonglang will send the envoy Su An to condole and send a pair of white jade, six knives of snowflake paper, and ten horses of silk!"
This time, Su Chen did not immediately report his name, but used his name Su An and turned into Su Chen's messenger to send a gift list.
Hearing the words of the roll caller, everyone in the room invariably craned their necks to look out the door, wanting to see who had such a big hand.
Ten horses of silk are also enough, although a pair of white jade is precious, it is not too outrageous, but the six knives of snowflake paper, this is what real money can't buy, snowflake paper since its launch, only sold in Luoyang by Wuyuan shops, there is nowhere else to buy.
Of course, the procurement in the palace is another matter, in addition, the dignitaries and nobles in Luoyang City can also be bought from the Chamber of Commerce through fast channels, as for the others, sorry, you want to buy? Okay, queue, you may not be able to see the real thing if you wait in line for several months.
Luoyang paper is not an empty word, since the launch of snowflake paper in Luoyang, in short supply, a knife to the high price of 100 gold are in short supply, for a time became a luxury among the nobles, who can come up with such a paper, that is called real luxury.
For readers, they hate and love Su Chen, they hate this thing so outrageously that ordinary people can't bear it, what they love is that this snowflake paper is suitable for writing, and the paper has a faint fragrance, which makes them look like treasures.
Zhuge Jue, as the master, naturally wanted to come out to greet the guests, and when he saw that the person at the head was so young and handsome, he did not doubt the identity of the other party's envoy at all, because he would not have thought that the person in front of him was the famous Beizhong Lang General Su Chen himself.
"When the distinguished guest comes to the door, the old man has never come to greet him, forgive the sins!"
Su Chen arched his hand and said: "Mr. Zhuge is serious, General Su received an order from the imperial court to go to Yingchuan to suppress thieves, passing through Langya Kingdom, and heard Mr. Zhuge in Beihai Kangcheng Gong, I wanted to visit in person, but I learned that the general's mansion was mourning, so I sent me to come to mourn, uninvited, hoping that Mr. Haihan." ”
"Where, I didn't expect General Su to know the name of the little old man, I'm really flattered, please go inside."
"Sir, please!"
Su Chen was introduced into the mourning hall, and after a stick of incense, he was arranged by Zhuge Jue to sit in the side hall and serve tea.
Because there were a lot of people who came to mourn today, he didn't let Zhuge Jue accompany him, after all, the other party still had to entertain guests.
After a while, a half-grown tall child came up with two cups of tea, and Su Chen asked curiously, "Child, why are you serving tea, don't you have a servant in your family?" ”
It was originally a casual sentence, but the child was stunned after hearing it, and said: "Don't blame the guests, the father is not well entertained, before leaving, he instructed Jin'er to entertain the distinguished guests, in order to show his sincerity, so he did not let the servants serve tea, if there is rudeness, the guests will forgive me." ”
"Oh?" He didn't expect a mere child to be so knowledgeable, and he became interested for a while, and asked, "Are you Mr. Zhuge the son?" What is your name? ”
The child replied without humility or arrogance: "If you return to the guest, my name is Zhuge Jin, and the word Ziyu is the cousin." ”
It turned out that he was Zhuge Jin, so calm at such a young age, he was really a talent, but he continued to compare: "I think you are only eight or nine years old now, how did you take the word?" ”
After hearing this, Zhuge Jin still replied in a reasonable and orderly manner: "Jin'er is ten years old this year, the three of us brothers, as soon as we speak out, my father took the table, and my father said, my mother is gone, and Jin'er will be the eldest son in the family in the future, not only to take care of my younger brothers and sisters, but also to share my father's worries." ”
"It's hard for you!" Thinking that the three Zhuge brothers in history were all young and sluggish, but they could grow into a dragon, a tiger and a dog, it was really not easy, "Jin'er is really a sensible child, by the way, why didn't you see your younger brothers and sisters?" ”
As soon as Su Chen's words fell, a milky voice suddenly came out of the room: "Brother, I heard that a guest sent snowflake paper, where is it?" Let's take a look. ”
It was Zhuge Jin's second brother Zhuge Liang who jumped out, and seeing him so rude, Zhuge Jin immediately reprimanded: "Liang'er must not be rude, the distinguished guest is here, you are not allowed to mess around." ”
Hearing the eldest brother's words, Zhuge Jin tilted his head, looked at Su Chen, and asked lightly, "Are you the messenger of that general?" I don't think it's like this person next to you is like a messenger! ”
"Oh?" Su Chen didn't expect the three-year-old Brother Zhu to be so clear-headed, and asked, "Why do you think that the eldest brother is not like an envoy?" ”
Zhuge Liang replied without thinking about it: "The momentum on your body makes Liang'er afraid, Liang'er has only felt this majesty in Uncle County, and the brother next to you does not have such momentum, Daddy said that Uncle County Shou is a court official, so Liang'er thinks you should also be a court official." ”
"Really?" He couldn't refute this, the superior had his own momentum, he felt that he had hidden it well, but he didn't expect it to be seen by a three-year-old child, even if he knew that this child would be very evil in the future, but he still didn't want to believe it in his heart.
Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Zhuge Jin's head was sweating, and when he saw that the guests were not angry, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head, and looked at Zhuge Liang fiercely, Zhuge Liang stuck out his tongue at him, but he didn't continue.
Seeing that Zhuge Liang didn't answer him, Su Chen turned to Zhuge Jin and asked, "Jin'er, don't you think your brother is like General Su's messenger?" ”
"This ......" Zhuge Jin looked at Zhuge Liang, then at Su Chen, and replied honestly: "Jin'er doesn't know!" However, the guest said that it was General Su's messenger, so it must be General Su's messenger. ”
Faced with the same problem, the brothers reacted completely differently, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages, seeing this, Zhang He seems to understand why the lord attaches so much importance to this Zhuge family, just looking at the two children in front of him, given time, they are not ordinary people.
"Is there really a genius in this world?" Thinking of Zhuge Liang's previous performance, Su Chen became more and more confident, he must hold the Zhuge family in his hands, and to open this gap, he has to start from Zhuge Jue.
