In the face of Zhuge Liang's confident words, Zhuge Rong didn't believe it, and said: "Brother A Liang, what you say doesn't make any sense at all, now that the lord is in charge, this marriage has been decided, this is an ironclad matter, how can it not be done." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said: "Little sister, you only think about the lord's father-in-law, Zhongzheng should make this marriage, but you forgot that this matter is not only about our side." ”

Zhuge Rong was stunned for a moment, and vaguely heard some eyebrows, but now her mind was confused, even if Bing Xue was smart, it was difficult to figure it out, so she urged: "Brother A Liang, this is all burning eyebrows, you don't sell Guan Zi anymore." ”

Zhuge Liang said unhurriedly: "I have been an envoy to Soochow for my brother, and I know Sun Quan quite well. At present, he is afraid of the danger in Hefei, so he withholds the hatred of defeat and makes this marriage. But if Cao Ying is repelled and the danger on the Eastern Front is lifted, then he will regret this marriage contract, even if he does not regret it, he will definitely find ways to delay, and in the end, it will not be over, so ah, little sister, you don't have to worry about one more person in the family who will be jealous of you, hehe. ”

Zhuge Liang's words made Zhuge Rongmao suddenly, but when he said that, she was ashamed, and complained: "Brother Aliang, don't make fun of me." Your analysis is also very reasonable, but now that Jingzhou is defeated, Sun Quan is weak and the lord is strong, even if the danger of his eastern front is lifted, it is not impossible for him to continue to fulfill this marriage contract under the pressure of the lord's upper reaches. ”

Zhuge Liang sighed and said, "Little sister, you are also a member of our Zhuge family, how come you have become sluggish after being a woman." ”

Zhuge Rong glanced at him and said, "Sister A-Ying was not a talented girl before she married you." What can be done, as soon as our woman's family marries her husband, the whole person only thinks about housework and serving her husband comfortably, where is there still leisure to think about that brain-consuming thing, can you not be dull? ”

Zhuge Liang sneered, and then stopped turning around, and said: "In fact, after the return of the lord this time, he will inevitably take advantage of the opportunity of Sun Caodong's rivalry to attack Hanzhong with all his might." After Hanzhong is in hand, Guanzhong will face a huge threat to our army, at that time, Cao Ying will personally lead the main army into the pass to confront our army, the lord will inevitably concentrate his troops and horses on the front line of Hanzhong, Jingzhou must not only be on the defensive, let alone form an upstream threat to Sun Quan. And at that time, Sun Quan didn't take advantage of the fact that we had no time to look east, and just made trouble in Jingzhou, how could he obediently send his sister to your husband. ”

Zhuge Liang is worthy of being a first-class strategist, although he does not leave home, he can analyze the future trend so thoroughly.

Zhuge Rong had to be impressed by his brother's foresight, but he was worried: "Having said that, the world is unpredictable, and the future may not always be able to go in the direction predicted by Brother A Liang." ”

Zhuge Liang's feather fan shook lightly again, and said meaningfully: "So, since the future is unpredictable, why bother with what hasn't happened yet, little sister." In fact, no matter what happens in the future, the most important thing for you right now is to tie your husband's heart firmly. Then again, the two of you have been married for so long, why haven't you moved at all, you have to hurry up. ”

Zhuge Rong didn't react for a while, and said blankly: "What are you doing in a hurry, why is there no movement?" ”

"What else can there be, little sister, in fact, your future is not here, but here." Zhuge Liang first nodded her head with a feather fan, and then pointed to her stomach.

Zhuge Rong was in a trance, her face suddenly turned red, and she said with a smile: "Brother A Liang, you are really not serious." Give me the fan, it's so cold in this winter, what kind of fan are you fanning, don't pretend to be chic. ”

When his brother and sister were carrying it, Huang Yueying entered from the back hall and said with a smile: "What did you brothers and sisters say? How is it so lively. ”

As soon as Zhuge Rong saw Huang Yueying coming in, she immediately stepped forward to support her, and said, "Sister-in-law, why don't you walk around alone without taking your maid, you are a pregnant person now, what if there is anything wrong." ”

"Ahem-" Huang Yueying coughed a few times, looking a little weak, and said with a faint smile: "I've only been pregnant for less than three months, what can I miss, it's not in the way." ”

Zhuge Rong carefully helped her sit down, and said: "Didn't that Doctor Zhang Zhongjing say, sister-in-law, you are naturally weak, if you are not careful, the child in your belly may be gone, you must not be careless." ”

Zhuge Rong instructed Huang Yueying, and then turned to Zhuge Liang and said: "And Brother Ah Liang, don't focus on political affairs all day long, you should also take more time to take care of your sister-in-law, have you forgotten why the little nephew in your sister-in-law's belly was gone last time, if you make some mistakes this time, I see how you will regret it then." ”

Zhuge Liang was depressed, he was in class just now, but in the blink of an eye, he was trained by his sister's filial piety, so he quickly put on a serious expression and said solemnly: "Okay, good, little sister's life, how dare you disobey my brother." ”

"That's just like the words, sister-in-law, don't pay attention to Brother A Liang first, let's say something intimate......"

Seven days later, Liu Beibing returned to Chengdu.

Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng and others led Chengdu civil and military, and personally went out of the city thirty miles to welcome Liu Bei's triumphant return.

On the same day, Liu Bei ordered a great reward for the meritorious civil and military officials, not only Guan Yu and other Jingzhou civil and military personnel, as well as Fang Shao, Huang Zhong and other Yizhou soldiers of the Eastern Expedition, even Zhuge Liang and others who guarded Chengdu were also rewarded, and for a while, the two states were jubilant and encouraging.

At the same time, Liu Bei set up a banquet in the state capital to celebrate the victory of Jingzhou with all the civil and military forces, and at the banquet that day, the most dazzling star was naturally Fang Shao, in addition to the Shenwei cannon to help Guan Yu break the Dongwu Naval Army, Pang Xi's strategy of borrowing a knife to kill people, and the accurate prediction of Cao Ying's troops in Hefei was not all due to Fang Shao's credit, but the role he played was obvious to all.

Of course, in the face of great glory, Fang Shao was still humble, and pushed all the credit to others. And the more humble he is, the more others appreciate him.

The banquet didn't end until late at night, and Fang Shao was also drunk seven points, woke up three points, and returned to the mansion in a daze with the support of Ah Shan.

"Why do you drink so much?" Zhuge Rong stayed up until late at night until her husband came back, separated for several months, and was very happy to see him at this moment, and when she saw him drunk, she couldn't help frowning slightly.

Ah Shan hurriedly explained for him: "Mr. went to Jingzhou this time to make a great contribution, the lord and the military advisor were very happy, and they all had to toast Mr., and as soon as Mr. was happy, he drank a few more glasses." ”

When Zhuge Rong heard that her husband had made a great contribution, she also felt that her face was bright, and she didn't complain at the moment, and said, "Hurry up and help Mr. back into the room, and ask someone to get some sobering soup." ”

So, Zhuge Rong and his subordinates were busy for a while, and after being busy for half an hour, Fang Shaocai lay on the couch in clean clothes, and a few bowls of sobering soup were down, and his drunkenness decreased slightly.

When Fang Shao came to his senses, he took Zhuge Rong into his arms and said with a smile: "Madam, I've been gone for so long, has Madam ever missed me?" ”

Zhuge Rong smiled shallowly and said, "I didn't miss you, I was just afraid that you wouldn't eat well, that you wouldn't sleep well, that you would be injured, that you would forget about this family, and that you would never come back." ”

"I didn't think about it! Your wife is such a smart, virtuous and beautiful wife, how can I not be willing to come back. Fang Shao couldn't help but kiss him on the face.

Zhuge Rong's face was dizzy, and she liked it tightly in her heart, but she said: "As soon as you go home, you won't be serious, I won't wake you up if I knew it, and let you sleep directly." ”

Zhuge Rong's words were full of strong affection, Fang Shao was moved when he heard it, and suddenly remembered the marriage in Jingzhou, and he was slightly apprehensive in his heart, thinking about how to talk to Zhuge Rong about this matter.

In fact, he was also a little confused, otherwise when he was sober, of course he guessed that with Zhuge Rong's relationship, she would naturally have heard about Jingzhou.

So, he thought about it and muttered, "Madam, that, this, I actually have something else to tell you." ”

When Fang Shaozheng didn't know how to speak, Zhuge Rong said calmly: "Husband, don't you want to talk about your engagement with Miss Sun. ”

Fang Shao's heart was shocked, most of the wine was gone at once, he was stunned for a moment, and then he pretended to be helpless and said: "It turns out that Mrs. has known for a long time, in fact, this matter is really a long story, I haven't thought about it, but the lord pressed me with the overall situation of reconciliation between the two families, I really didn't shirk it, madam, I hope you can understand the difficulty of being a husband." ”

thought that even if he made up such a reason, Zhuge Rong would be annoyed for a while before he would give up, but Zhuge Rong's expression was unexpectedly calm, not only did he not complain, but also smiled calmly: "Of course I know that you can't help yourself, husband, after all, Mr. You are an important minister under the lord, and sacrificing a little for the major affairs of the country is also loyal to the minister." The husband can rest assured to welcome Miss Sun into the door, and I will definitely get along with her well, so that the husband has no worries and has no distractions to do things for the lord. ”

Zhuge Rong's generous words of courtesy directly surprised Fang Shao, she was about to experience a "bloody storm", but she didn't expect her to be virtuous and wise, not only did she complain, but also took the initiative to get along with Sun Shangxiang.

Fang Shao was surprised and didn't know what to say for a while, Zhuge Rong smiled and said: "Husband, what are you doing in a daze, by the way, I don't know when you will marry Miss Sun, I can also arrange for the next person to prepare in advance." ”

Fang Shao relieved himself from his surprise at this time, but he picked up Zhuge Rong's face, kissed her affectionately on the forehead, and said with emotion: "If you have a wife like this, what more can I ask for from Fang Shao." As he spoke, he hugged her tightly into his arms.

Zhuge Rong's face was resting on Fang Shao's shoulder, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and a little smug color flashed in her eyes.
