When the old man approached, Liu Yong gave a deep salute and said, "Dare to ask the old gentleman, but is it Huang Chengyan, a famous man in Nannan?" ”

The old man was slightly stunned and smiled: "What celebrity?" The mountains and fields are just rough people. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe old man is Huang Chengyan, dare to ask who the son is? ”

Liu Yong saluted again and replied respectfully: "Liu Yong, the younger generation, Liu Chongru, has seen Mr. Huang. ”

Huang Chengyan was surprised: "But under the account of Duke Cao, Liu Yong, who is now envoying to Xiangyang? ”

"Exactly."

"The old man just talked about the son-in-law with his daughter and son-in-law, but he didn't expect the son-in-law to come here."

"So Mr. Kong Ming is at home?" Liu Yong said happily.

"Is Childe actually here to see Kong Ming?" Huang Chengyan was strange for a while, his son-in-law only had a slight name in Xiangyang, how did Liu Yong know.

"I admire Mr. Kong Ming's talent and come to visit."

Huang Chengyan said with a smile: "I heard that Gongzi is very knowledgeable and has won the trust of Cao Gong, every time he makes a decision, he must first listen to Gongzi's opinions." Kong Ming is lonely and nameless, why do you intersect with the princes? ”

"Mr. Kong Ming is the genius of the matter, and Liu Yong compares it to him, but it is like the sun and the moon compared to the fire." Liu Yong's words came from the bottom of his heart and were extremely sincere.

Huang Chengyan saw that Liu Yong was not pretentious, although he was very strange in his heart, he also had a good impression, "It's rare that the son is sincere, but Kong Ming ......"

Liu Yong was surprised for a while and asked, "Is there anything wrong?" Sir, please speak up. ”

"The son is humble and reasonable, and the old man likes it at first sight. It's just that Cao Cao brought the Son of Heaven to order the ministers, and Kong Ming regarded him as ****, so he ......"

Liu Yong suddenly realized that when he read the Three Kingdoms before, he only thought that Zhuge Liang did not choose Cao Cao, who was the strongest, nor Sun Quan, who was the second strongest, but chose Liu Bei, who had no land, because he was able to play the role of one person under Liu Bei and show his talent to the greatest extent, it turned out that these were not the main reasons, but because Zhuge Liang was originally a hardcore "royalist". Kuang Jun assisted the country, An Hanxing Liu is his moral limit and lifelong pursuit.

Liu Yong frowned slightly, how is this good? If it comes, it will be safe. Let's just go back like this. Thinking of this, he made up his mind and arched his hand: "Thank you Huang Gong for your advice, I have my own words to deal with." ”

Huang Chengyan shook his head lightly and sighed: "Childe is easy-going and humble. Sincerely. That's it, the old man must put on an old face today, so that Kong Ming and Gongzi can meet. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Huang." Liu Yong's heart was moved.

The two walked through the pine forest, crossed a small bridge, and after a while, came to Wollonggang. I saw that the mountain is not high and elegant, the water is not deep and clear, the land is not wide and flat, the forest is not big and lush, and the apes and cranes are on a blind date. The pine and bamboo are green, and the scenery is pleasant. Three thatched houses stand next to the forest, cultivating bamboo and stacking green, elegant and quiet, a good quiet place.

Huang Chengyan smiled: "Liu Gongzi, look at Kong Ming's place." Just like a hermit, like a celebrity! ”

Liu Yong shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter what kind of residence you have, what matters is who lives inside." There is a good saying, 'The mountain is not high, but the immortal is famous.' The water is not deep, and if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual. ’……”

Before the words fell, a hearty and clear voice came through the air, "Good one' the mountain is not high." If there is a fairy, the name is not deep, and if there is a dragon, it is spiritual'. I heard the door creak and a person paced out of it. I saw that the man was only seventeen or eighteen years old, about 1.8 meters tall, and his face was like a crown of jade. The eyes are like stars, the body is chic, wearing a scarf on his head, and he is wearing a crane, fluttering like a fairy.

Liu Yong secretly praised in his heart, Zhuge Liang's appearance and demeanor, if he is not sincere, do not disturb, I am afraid that all the female guests will be fascinated to death. Just thinking about it, I only heard Zhuge Liang say: "Why did Uncle Yue come back?" ”

Huang Chengyan pulled Liu Yong and smiled at Zhuge Liang: "This little friend Kong Ming must be seen, the old man will introduce you......"

Liu Yong didn't wait for Huang Chengyan to say it, and gave a salute first, "Under Liu Yong, the word Chongru." I heard about the name of Mr. I came to pay a visit. ”

Zhuge Liang was surprised: "But Liu Yong from Cao Cao's place? ”

Liu Yong replied stubbornly: "It's exactly ......", and was thinking about the rhetoric, when he heard Zhuge Liang say: "I heard the name of the son early, like thunder, I didn't expect to see it today, it's really Kong Ming's luck." Childe inside please. "Liu Yong's mind is confused, what's wrong? Where did the closed door that I thought I was going to eat?

Huang Chengyan was also a little surprised, and asked, "Kong Ming can't have anything wrong, right?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "If it were someone else, Kong Ming would definitely not be there; If it is Liu Gongzi, Kong Ming must see it. ”

"That's fine. Then you talk, the old man will leave first. Liu Yong and Zhuge Liang gave their hands to give gifts, and Huang Chengyan went happily.

Watching Huang Chengyan's back disappear behind the mountain, Zhuge Liang said to Liu Yong: "Young Master Liu, please." ”

Liu Yong also returned the salute: "Mr. Kong Ming, please." "Entering the middle gate, I saw a pair of couplets pasted on it, the upper one is "indifferent to Mingzhi", and the lower one is "quiet and far-reaching".

These two sentences Liu Yong is very familiar, because the Three Kingdoms fell in love with Zhuge Liang and read everything about him because of Zhuge Liang. These two sentences are originally from Liu An's "Huainanzi? Later, Zhuge Liang quoted and revised this passage in the Book of Commandments to make it more refined and become a classic for future generations.

Liu Yong silently recited in his heart, "The journey of a husband and a gentleman is to cultivate oneself quietly and to cultivate virtue through frugality." There is no clear ambition if it is not a turbulence, and there is no far-reaching ambition if it is not quiet. The husband must be quiet to learn, and he must also learn. There is no way to learn without learning, and there is no way to learn without ambition. If you can't excite yourself, you can't treat your irritability. The year and the time are gone, the intention and the day are gone, and then they become withered, and they will not receive the world, and they will be sad and poor, what will be the return! ”。 This is the motto of Liu Yong's reading, and it is even more intimate when I see it here.

Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Yong and looked at this couplet, and he was a little curious, and asked, "Why is Liu Gongzi so focused on this couplet?" ”

Liu Yong said with a smile: "I also like this sentence very much, and I often use it to warn myself." Gu Yun: Righteousness, self-cultivation, family, governance, and peace in the world, this is the ideal of life, to achieve the ideal, personal ethics is necessary, I also like another sentence......"

Zhuge Liang interjected: "What Liu Gongzi wants to say is 'If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world'? ”

"Exactly!" The two looked at each other and smiled, and the sense of closeness was a little more.

Waiting for the boy to bring the tea, Liu Yong finally couldn't stop his curiosity and asked: "I heard that Mr. Xia took it as his responsibility to help Hanxing Liu and regarded Prime Minister Cao Cheng as a chaotic minister and thief, why is he so tolerant of Liu Yong?" ”

Zhuge Liang laughed and said: "I was very puzzled when I saw Gongzi's expression cramped before, it turned out that Gongzi was worried that Kong Ming would refuse for thousands of miles." ”

Liu Yong blushed and said, "That's true." ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Lao Ziyun, 'The sage is always good at saving people, so he does not abandon people. Always be good and save things, so that there is no discarded thing', which tells us that there is no useless thing in the world. It's only a matter of whether you can use it or not. ”

"I see!" Liu Yong's heart moved, "If you use it for me, you will use it, and if you can't use it for me, you will discard it." Whoever is useful in the world can be used by me. ”

This is Zhuge Liang's "take-it-or-leave-it-ism". yes, I didn't think of that. In history, Liu Bei fell ill and died. Sun Quan proclaimed himself emperor and sent someone to Chengdu to report the news, but Zhuge Liang was the first to admit this "puppet regime". You must know how difficult it is for a person with extremely orthodox ideology to take this step, which also shows Zhuge Liang's pragmatic spirit of judging the situation and sizing up the situation, not only adhering to principles, but also being good at flexibility, not rigid and dogmatic.

"Exactly. Gather the discussion of the past and the present, and give birth to the discussion of me; Take the wisdom of the world, and give birth to my wisdom. This is the choice of goodness. ”

Both of them are involved in a wide range of things, talking about the advantages and disadvantages of the powerful in various places, the gains and losses of current affairs and politics, and the changes in astronomy and geography...... The more Zhuge Liang talked, the more frightened he became, he never admired people easily, but he couldn't guess how deep and wide Liu Yong's talent was. In terms of knowing people and people, changes in the battle situation, and power contests, he is far inferior to Liu Yong. Liu Yong is even more staggering. He has taken advantage of modern people, how can he rely on Zhuge Liang's true talent and learning, especially Zhuge Liang's strategy and method of marching and arranging the formation, he is even more out of reach.

The more the two talked, the more speculative they became. The more you talk, the more fun you get. Zhuge Liang suddenly asked: "The ancient sage has clouds: the sky cannot be heaven without Tao, the earth cannot be heaven without Tao, and people are without Tao, what is human without Tao." Can Brother Chongru know Wulun? ”

Liu Yong didn't know what to do, and replied: "Liu Yong knows a little, but does it mean that the monarch and the minister are righteous, the father and son are related, the husband and wife are affectionate, the brothers are orderly, and the friends are trustworthy?" ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "Exactly." The sages all said that husbands and wives were affectionate, why did men in the world regard women as mustards, clothes, and playthings. Abandon it at will, dispose of it at will, and others will not care. ”

Hearing these words, Liu Yong was filled with grief in his heart, and sighed: "Although Liu Yong is indignant about this matter, he is helpless. ”

"I feel the same way as Childe." Zhuge Liang also sighed and said: "There are very few people like Gongzi and Kong Ming in this world. ”

This is where Liu Yong admires Brother Kong Ming, maverick and arrogant. Come, Liu Yong replaced wine with tea and toasted his brother. ”

"Maverick, arrogant, good words!" Zhuge Liang laughed and said, "Kong Ming respects the son!" ”

The two of them clinked glasses, took a big sip of tea, and felt that their blood was boiling, Zhuge Liang said: "The son is knowledgeable, respectful and gentle to women, and my husband and wife are very respectful." My wife has been familiar with the history of the Bible since she was a child, and she is quite talented, can she see her son? ”

Liu Yongzheng wanted to meet this ancient inventor, but he couldn't ask for it. Zhuge Liang saw that Liu Yong agreed, so he excitedly ordered the boy to invite Huang Yueying to come out to meet him.

After a while, Xiao Tong came out and replied: "The housewife said that she was not in good health, please meet Liu Gongzi in the back hall." ”

Zhuge Liang was a little unhappy and said: "How can there be a reason for the master to stay in the inner room and let the distinguished guests see the courtesy." ”

"Brother Kong Ming doesn't have to mind." Liu Yong didn't think about it, and said: "My sister-in-law is in a bad condition, so I should go to visit Liu Yong." ”

The boy said to Zhuge Liang again: "The master mother said that the flowers in the courtyard are blooming, please pick a bouquet from the husband." Then he said to Liu Yong: "Son, please come with me." Zhuge Liang shook his head, bowed his hand, and went to the courtyard to pick flowers.

Let's say that the boy led Liu Yong to the outside of the backyard and said, "Son, the housewife is waiting in the small pavilion in the courtyard." ”

Liu Yong saw that the boy looked a little strange, and he looked like he was holding back a smile, so he felt a little strange, and muttered in his heart. Looking at the silence inside, he couldn't see anything, and after a slight hesitation, the boy said again: "Childe, please." ”

Liu Yong's heart was horizontal, and his feet stepped in. After walking a few steps, he didn't see anything unusual, Liu Yong gradually put his mind at ease, and saw a woman standing in the pavilion, unable to see her appearance clearly from a distance, thinking that it was Huang Yueying, Zhuge Liang's wife.

Liu Yong walked towards the pavilion, only to feel a thin line between his calves, and when he hesitated, a big dog suddenly sprang out from behind the rockery and pounced on him. (To be continued.) )
