Fang Shao pointed to the map and said: "Sir, please look, this Jingzhou is located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, if you go down the river with a water army, you can go to Jianye City in a few days, say something unpleasant, and pour a soak of urine into the river in Jingzhou, he Sun knows that he has to drink obediently." So the Sun family said that Jingzhou, then a sharp blade hanging above the head all the time, so many years, the Sun family repeatedly violated Jingzhou, and even Sun Jian's life has not changed here, they are not to seize Jingzhou, all according to the Yangtze River. Therefore, this Jingzhou is just a strategic base for Liu Xuande, but for the Sun family, it is a matter of life and death, so I feel that Mr. 'Donghe Sun Wu' is not comprehensive enough. ”

Hearing Fang Shao's words, Zhuge Liang fell into deep thought, he shook the feather fan lightly, and walked back and forth in this grass hall, after a long time, his expression was slightly relieved, and said: "You are right, it is Mr. I ignored the Sun family's ambition for Jingzhou." After this East and Sun Wu, one or two sentences should be added, 'Complement each other with the royal family, and not be wasted', what do you think? ”

Fang Shao smiled and said, "I'm just a cook, how can I know so much, what Mr. said will not be wrong." ”

"Haha-" Zhuge Liang pointed at him with a feather fan and said with a smile: "You kid, you pretend to be modest." Well, from now on, you'll have to read twenty pages of a book every day in addition to cooking. ”

Fang Shao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Don't sir, I have a headache when I read a book, you say that I am a cook, what kind of books do you read." ”

Zhuge Liang snorted and said: "You must read it, if you read it well, you will be given processing money, if you don't read it well, hum, I will deduct your wages." ”

Fang Shao knew that he would threaten himself with this killer weapon, although he was very unhappy, but at least it could be seen that Kong Ming's opinion of him had gradually changed, since he planned to let him study, he had the intention of cultivating him, which still made Fang Shao somewhat pleased.

Unconsciously half a moon had passed, and early in the morning, Zhuge Liang ordered to go to Xiangyang City to pick up his wife Huang Yueying.

At the beginning, the two of them had a conflict, Huang Yueying went back to her parents' house in a fit of anger, and after living for more than a month, Zhuge Liang remembered to send Fang Shao to pick it up, and it happened that it was his father-in-law Huang Chengyan who was sick and idle, and Huang Yueying planned to stay at her parents' house to take care of her father. Zhuge Liang went to see his father-in-law, and he didn't force his wife to go home, more than three months have passed, and at this time he remembered his wife, which is really enough.

Fang Shao hesitated for a moment and asked, "Sir, don't you want to go there yourself?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "I made an appointment with Cui Zhouping and Shi Guangyuan today to discuss, if you don't have time, you can pick up your wife back." ”

Fang Shao said again: "Then what if Madame doesn't come back?" ”

Zhuge Liang said disapprerovingly: "If you don't come back, let her continue to live in her mother's house, and I will also want to be quiet." ”

So Fang Shao drove the donkey cart away from the cottage and traveled more than 30 miles east to Xiangyang City.

Fang Shao came from a modern metropolis, although Xiangyang was prosperous, but how could he get a modern city, so he didn't have much leisure to visit, and went straight to the Huang family as soon as he entered Xiangyang.

Although Huang Chengyan is a famous person in Xiangyang, the mansion he lives in is very ordinary, and there are only three or five servants in the mansion.

When he saw Huang Yueying, Fang Shao's every feeling was that this woman was a little uglier again.

"Fang Shao, why are you here?" Huang Yueying said with a smile, her voice was very soft, if she didn't look at that face and listen to the voice, it would definitely make all men think about it.

She said and let Fang Shao into the house, and personally poured him a glass of water. Fang Shao hurriedly took it respectfully and said, "Mrs. Xie, I came to pick up Mrs. Xie at the behest of my husband." ”

"Didn't the others come?" Huang Yueying subconsciously looked out of the house, as if she was looking for Zhuge Liang's figure.

"That, sir, he has something important today, and he can't get out of his body for a while, so he can't come in person." Fang Shao had no choice but to make excuses for Zhuge Liang.

Huang Yueying's expression looked a little disappointed, sighed, and said, "It's getting close today, you can rest here for one night first, and we'll go back to Longzhong tomorrow morning." ”

Fang Shao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this trip was not in vain.

So Fang Shao stayed in the guest room first, it was almost dusk at this time, and there was still a period of time before dark, so Fang Shao went to Zhuge Rong's house in the south of the city to see her with the food box he brought with him. The food box contained a big bowl of back pot meat, she was very hungry after eating it last time, and repeatedly told her that she must make it for her again if she had the opportunity, this time Fang Shao finally came to Xiangyang, if she didn't bring some to her, she would not be muttered by her small mouth in the future.

When he came to Zhuge Mansion in the south of the city, the family heard that it was sent by Zhuge Liang and let him go.

"Miss, the third son's family sent someone to deliver something to Miss."

"Let him in."

Fang Shao pushed the door in, and when he saw that there was no one in the hall, he put the food box on the table, and as soon as the lid was opened, the aroma suddenly overflowed, and it didn't take long to fill the entire room.

Then, when he heard the sound of hurried footsteps, Zhuge Rong turned out from behind the screen and said in surprise: "Fang Shao, as soon as I smell this, I know that you are here." ”

Fang Shao smiled: "Miss's nose is really smart. I'm here to pick up my wife home this time, didn't this Dongpo meat lady say that she likes to eat, so I brought some along the way, and Miss can let the next person eat it in the pot for a while. ”

Zhuge Rong glanced at the delicious food in the box a few times, but sighed softly and said, "The meat is good meat, but I am not in the mood to enjoy it, but it's a pity that you have a piece of your heart." ”

Fang Shao saw that her eyebrows were full of sadness, and she thought that something unpleasant had happened, so she asked, "Miss, do you have anything to worry about, it's better to say it and listen to it, maybe I can help." ”

Before the words fell, the servant outside the door said: "Miss, those sons have been writing poems in the study, and Madame invites you to observe in private." ”

"Got it, what to urge, annoying people." Zhuge Rong's tone was very irritable, and she stood up reluctantly, and said, "Come with me." ”

So Fang Shao followed Zhuge Rong to the backyard, where there was a rather large study, but she didn't enter through the front door, but walked in through the back door.

After entering, Fang Shao looked through the lattice window, but saw that in the front hall, there were more than a dozen handsome sons, some of whom walked like the wind, and some of them were contemplative, as if they were conducting an exam. And the middle-aged woman sitting in front of her looked at those sons with an indifferent expression, like an examiner.

Fang Shao was curious and said, "Miss, what the hell is going on?" ”

Zhuge Rong sighed again before he said the reason.

Originally from Zhuge Xuan's death, the family lost their support, Zhuge Xuansheng had two men and a woman, the two men were not in the climate, usually only knew how to eat, drink and gamble, and it didn't take long to lose the family's savings, so in the past two years, the family has become more and more tight.

Although the Zhuge family has fallen, it is also a famous family in the end, and Zhuge Rong's reputation for beauty and intelligence is known far and wide, so some disciples of the world family have coveted it and repeatedly come to the door to ask for relatives.

Mrs. Zhuge also wanted to marry some local scholars, so that she could help the family and even revive the Zhuge family, so she urged Zhuge Rong to marry.

As for Zhuge Rong, she really looked down on those who came to ask for marriage, but she was forced by her mother to say that she was not a handsome man with outstanding literary talent and would not marry. So Mrs. Zhuge set up this literary test, let these sons make poems on the spot, and then let Zhuge Rong choose those with outstanding literary talents.

"Then those sons outside, isn't there a young lady who can be eye-catching?" Fang Shao asked.

Zhuge Rong snorted and said disdainfully: "Those people are all boastful people, so I don't look down on them." But my mother forced me to choose, which was really annoying. ”

Fang Shao pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "Don't worry, Miss, I have a plan to help Miss get through this hurdle." ”
