Chapter 1 Grass Hall Overview

Next Chapter

"Who will realize the big dream? I know it all my life. The grass hall slept enough in spring, and it was late outside the window. ”

A yawning, full of petty bourgeois poetry woke up Fang Shao, who was dozing off, he opened his eyes with a dissatisfied face, and looked lazily out of the door.

"It's really a pig, and I only got up when I slept in the sun and dried my buttocks." Fang Shao muttered and stood up, with a lot of complaints in his tone.

The food on the case had been sitting for a long time, Fang Shao glanced back at the door, it was still hidden, and the person who had just woken up inside didn't seem to plan to come out, so he directly put a shredded meat in his hand and put it in his mouth.

"It's okay it's still warm, otherwise the worm would have nagged again." Fang Shao wiped the grease stains from the corners of his mouth and drove away the few pesky mosquitoes hovering over the food.

This thatched cottage is located on the edge of a small tributary of the Han River, but wherever there is water, it is the most attractive for mosquitoes, and it is early summer, and these nasty guys can already be heard buzzing day and night.

Squeak, the bamboo door finally opened, and a handsome boy walked out.

But I saw him with a scarf and feather fan, a crane in his clothes, a plain soap silk, a face like a crown of jade, his lips like a smeared Zhu, his eyebrows were clear, his body was eight feet long, and he had the posture of a fairy, which was the legendary Zhuge Kongming.

"Cut, you're dressed up so handsome when you get up, who can you show it?" Fang Shao was sarcastic, but he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Sir, you are up." ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "Woke up, I was woken up by the fragrance of vegetables, what fresh dishes did you make today?" Kong Ming said, kneeling down at the desk, with a greedy face.

"Today's dish is called 'fish-flavored shredded pork'." Fang Shao lifted the lid, a stream of fish fragrance came into his nose, and Zhuge Liang took a deep breath of the aroma, so that he was intoxicated.

"When I wake up, I have such delicious food, Fang Shao, it seems that I have hired you as a chef worth it." Zhuge Liang was so excited that he drooled, and he picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat.

"Sir, wash your hands before and after eating, can you eat without washing your hands?" Fang Shao's kind reminder.

Zhuge Liang was stunned and puzzled: "What is 'after the defecation'?" ”

Fang Shao realized for a while, in this era, people probably call going to the toilet 'out of the gong', although Zhuge Liang is extremely smart, I am afraid that he doesn't know what 'poop' means.

"This is a common saying in my hometown, which means to go to the thatched house. Sir, for the sake of your health, you should wash your hands, at least wipe them. Fang Shao made up an explanation very cleverly, and handed Zhuge a wet wipe.

"Interesting, the customs of your hometown are really interesting, okay, just wash your hands before eating. Fang Shao, tell me about the interesting things about your hometown later. Zhuge Liang took the wet towel and wiped it, opened his belly, and ate it.

Fang Shao looked at Zhuge Liang's eating appearance, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion in his heart: "The history books are really artistically processed, if you don't see it with your own eyes, who can imagine that the legendary Zhuge Kongming, who is personable and like an immortal, will be so ugly." ”

If it weren't for the traffic accident more than a month ago, I'm afraid that Fang Shao wouldn't have had the opportunity to see the unknown side of Zhuge Liang today.

It was a rainy night, and on the way home, Fang Shao was squeezed off the bridge by a drunk driver who was driving immorally. After a few seconds of effort, Fang Shao was wrapped in the turbid river, he struggled several times, finally opened the car door, and finally swam onto the river, but happened to meet a drowning person, and that person, needless to say, was naturally Zhuge Liang.

It took Fang Shao a long time to accept that he was in the Three Kingdoms era, and through this incident, for an atheist person, it is indeed incomparable, and he still thinks back to the difficult time when he first came, Fang Shao has palpitations.

Maybe there is a providence in the underworld, the first time he crossed, he happened to save Zhuge Liang, after making up a lie about fleeing to this point, unfortunately capsized, and had nowhere to go, the smart Zhuge Liang was successfully fooled by him, in order to repay his life-saving grace, and in order to solve the problem of the lack of a cook at home, Zhuge Liang took in Fang Shao.

In this way, an ordinary little white-collar worker, through thousands of years, became a cook in Nanyang Wolong.

Fate, it's really interesting, when one window is closed, it may not open another.

"Fang Shao, you're in a daze again, what are you thinking?" Although Zhuge Liang's eating appearance is very rude, his insight is quite delicate.

Fang Shao smiled and said, "I'm thinking about the next new dish." ”

In fact, Fang Shao makes some usual home-cooked dishes, such as fish-flavored shredded pork, braised pork, stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots, etc., but in this era, these unheard of dishes are enough to become "extraterritorial dishes" that make people like Zhuge Liang drool.

Zhuge Liang said happily: "Okay, okay, you just think about it, do a good job, I will pay you more next month." ”

"Then I'll thank you sir in advance." Fang Shao looked grateful.

A few good dishes, a big pot of rice, Zhuge Liang swept it clean within ten minutes.

After eating and drinking, Zhuge Liang touched his bulging belly, burped a few times, and stroked his sleeves in a chic manner: "Fang Shao, sir, I'm full, you can clean up this place quickly, there may be guests visiting in a while." ”

"Yes, I'm also an engineer anyway, and now I've got it, and I've been reduced to the point of cooking and wiping dishes for people, it's so miserable."

Fang Shao didn't leave, so he had to continue to do his work as a servant.

He was busy here, Zhuge Liang was already lying on his back and reading the book, just turned a few pages, and suddenly thought of something, and said: "Fang Shao, what about Madam, why did you haunt her at noon and see her come back for dinner." ”

This kid, when he has eaten and drunk enough, he remembered his wife, what do you remember your surname.

Fang Shao wiped the table and said, "Madame got up early in the morning and left, saying that she was going back to her parents' house for a few days, sir, did you quarrel with Madame." ”

Zhuge Liang said helplessly: "It's not noisy, it's that last night, Mr. I was very sleepy, and I wanted to sleep as soon as I lay down, but Madame, she had to talk to me, and I was so annoyed that I couldn't do it, so I said a few words to her, and probably ran back to my parents' house because of this." ”

After hearing these words, Fang Shao guessed what happened last night, it was estimated that Luohua was intentional, but Flowing Water was unintentional, annoying Luohua and went away in anger.

But it's no wonder Zhuge Liang, Fang Shao, as a man, understands his difficulties very well, and her wife Huang Yueying looks too outrageous, when Fang Shao first came to the cottage, he thought he was a ghost in broad daylight when he saw Huang Yueying for the first time.

However, although this Huang Yueying is ugly, but his virtue and talent are very good, he is gentle and virtuous, and proficient in poetry and books.

It's just that although people are ugly, they are also women, and they are so disappointed by Zhuge Liang, of course they have to play a little bit of Miss temper.

Fang Shao then persuaded: "Sir, Madam wants to come here and play a little surname for a while, you better go to Huang Gong's house and pick her up quickly." ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "How can I indulge this kind of little surname, if you want to go back to her mother's house to live for a few days, you can just be quiet for a few days, Mr. These days, I have a very important thing to prepare." ”

While the two of them were talking, they suddenly heard someone outside the cottage laughing: "Zhuge Xian, it's rare that you got up early today." ”

Fang Shao looked out of the door, but saw an elder with pine-shaped crane bones and extraordinary instruments walking in.

As soon as Zhuge Liang saw this person, he jumped up, bowed, and said with a smile: "Mr. Liangzhi will come to the cottage today, how dare you not get up early to greet him." After he said that, he said to Fang Shao: "This is my teacher, Mr. Shuijing, Fang Shao, go and get some fruits and vegetables, and by the way, get the map in the back hall." ”

It turns out that this person is Sima Hui, a famous man in Jingxiang, Fang Shao is familiar with the Three Kingdoms, so he naturally knows this person, and he also wanted to visit him before, just because he is a famous person of the Jingxiang clan, and he is just a cook of the "Zhuge Villager" family, so what qualifications can he have to meet others.

Sima Hui sat down Xinran, Fang Shao put some melons and fruits on the table, and took Zhuge Liang's map from the back hall and hung it on the wall on the side. This is a map of the situation in the world, Zhuge Liang usually travels abroad, but when he is at home, he will always compare and contrast with this map.

These two were both famous people in the world, and Fang Shao wanted to hear what they could talk about, so he hid outside the gate and pretended to choose vegetables, but secretly pricked up his ears to eavesdrop on their conversation.

Sima Hui said first: "How could the virtuous nephew guess that I would come to visit your thatched cottage." ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said with a faint smile: "I said that I came back from a trip and met Cui Zhouping, and I heard that there were distinguished guests in Mr. Village, so I guessed this." ”

Sima Hui smiled, and didn't say it explicitly, but he stroked his beard and said: "Virtuous nephew, your talent is enough to control the chess game of the world. Hidden in this countryside for a long time, it is really like your name, and you can only be a 'crouching' dragon for the rest of your life. ”

Zhuge Liang said quietly: "It's not that students don't want to enter the world to show what they have learned, it's just that in today's world, they haven't been able to find a master who can be assisted by students." ”

Sima Hui ate a blue coin, pointed to the north of the map, and said: "Now that Cao Ying has coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, he has destroyed the second Yuan Lu Bu and unified the north, which can be called a divine martial strategy, why don't the virtuous nephews join him?" ”

Zhuge Liang snorted coldly and said: "Although this thief is good at scheming and good at martial arts, but his surname is cruel and cruel, when the student lived in Xuzhou, he witnessed him slaughter hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou, including many students, neighbors and friends, the student swore that he would not be incompatible with this thief in this life, and how could he be his eagle dog!" ”

Fang Shao heard Zhuge Liang's resolute indignation in his heart, and only then did he know the true meaning in his heart, and said in his heart: "Cao Ying's advisers are like rain, there are no more than you, and there are no more than you, as the saying goes, I would rather be the head of the chicken than the tail of the phoenix, and I would not have taken refuge in other words." ”

Sima Hui then said: "The Jiangdong Sun clan has gone through three generations, and the Wuzhong clan has gradually become attached to it, and there is no shortage of elite soldiers and fierce generals under his command, and there are even more dangers in the Yangtze River, can the virtuous nephew consider investing in it." ”

Referring to Dongwu, Zhuge Liang showed disdain on his face, and said: "If Sun Ce is there, it can still be considered, and now that Sun Quan is in charge of Jiangdong, he gradually relies on the Jiangdong clan to consolidate his position, and the fundamental strategy is to protect the interests of the clan, but he is just a self-defense of the river. ”

Sima Hui sighed: "Cao Ying can't do it, Sun Quan can't do it, so how about my Jingxiang lord Liu Biao, since he served as Jingzhou Mu for 18 years, Jingzhou has been rich and healthy, and his subordinates have more than 100,000 elite soldiers, and the grain, grass and goods stored in the treasury are piled up, which is a Ming master." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Liu Jingzhou's literary talent is outstanding, if it is placed in peace, it must be a talent of the three publics, but in today's situation, I don't know why the military affairs have been based on the troubled times for a long time, and devote themselves to Liu Jingzhou, which is actually the next choice." ”

Sima Hui pondered for a moment, and then said: "If that's true, what about Yizhou Liu Zhang, Hanzhong Zhang Lu, and Xiliang Ma Chao?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled disdainfully: "Liu Zhang, Zhang Luyong's generation, they are all obedient people, and they are not enough to conspire. Although Ma Chao is ambitious, he is just a martial artist after all, and it is not worth mentioning. ”

Sima Hui listened to Zhuge Liang's picking, suddenly raised his head and laughed, and said happily: "In this case, then I have selected a Ming Lord for the virtuous nephew, this person was defeated by Lu Bu first, and then defeated by Cao Ying, cast Yuan Shao and Yuan Shao did not use, voted for Cao Ying and Cao Ying doubted it, ran around for half a life, but there was no city or place, and now he can only send people under the fence, this person must be the Ming Lord that the virtuous nephew seeks." ”

Zhuge Liang was stunned, but said: "As Mr. said, this person's life can be summed up by the word 'defeat', how can Mr. call such a person who has been defeated repeatedly?" ”

Sima Hui stroked his beard and smiled, and said: "Jade is not a weapon, it is not the fault of jade, but it is a person who has not met a good craft." I know that the virtuous nephew has the power to save the sky, and the mere strategist is definitely not something you can bend, and you can carve a peerless jade with your own hands, and the name will go down in history is what you want, if so, then in this world, only this one person can be called the master of the Ming for you. ”

Sima Hui turned around in such a big circle, and even Fang Shao could hear that the person he said was Liu Bei, how could Zhuge Liang not hear it.

He shook the fan for a moment and said, "The student's thoughts have been guessed by Mr. Yes, it is Mr. who should go out of the mountain to save the sky." ”

Sima Hui said with a smile: "My old bones are not suitable for running around outside, so I still eat and drink in the village and raise flowers and fish to be happy." ”

Zhuge Liang was dissatisfied and said, "Mr. wants to be leisurely and happy, why do you want to push the students into the fire pit." ”

Sima Hui laughed, but said: "Fate is determined by the surname, virtuous nephew, you were not born to live a comfortable life, you should know this best." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled but said nothing. Sima Hui didn't say much, got up and said, "It's not too early, I'll go back first." ”

Zhuge Liang also got up and said, "Why did Mr. come and leave, the students still have a lot of difficult things to ask Mr. for advice." ”

"There is nothing difficult in the world, it is all in the heart." Sima Hui replied meaningfully, "I have already recommended you to that person, so let's think about it." ”

"Definitely, definitely." Zhuge Liang bid farewell to Sima Hui.

After the eavesdropping ended, Fang Shao was still pretending to choose vegetables, Zhuge Liang ate a green coin and said, "Everyone is gone, come in and clean up after eavesdropping." ”

Fang Shao was stunned for a moment, walked in embarrassedly, reluctantly picked up the kernels of the table, and said casually: "Sir, the Liu Bei that Mr. Shuijing said is still a master, you might as well go out of the mountain to help him." ”

Of course, Fang Shao hopes that the development of history will go according to plan, he is not willing to nest in this thatched cottage and be a cook for a lifetime, it is too dangerous to fight on the battlefield, and it takes a lot of brains to calculate the temple in the court, so it is easy to come to ancient times, Fang Shao doesn't want to live so tired, he is satisfied.

When Zhuge Liang heard him say this, his expression was a little surprised, and he asked, "How do you know that the person Mr. Sima said is Liu Bei?" ”

Fang Shaodao: "Liu Bei was originally a seller of straw shoes, and later benefited from the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian was entrusted with a state before his death, but unfortunately he was later taken away by Lu Bu, and he had no choice but to vote for Cao Ying, everyone knows that Cao Ying, he is very suspicious, Liu Bei has always had great ambitions, and of course he was uneasy to stay under his command, and then he ran away. Later, Yuan Cao fought, Liu Bei threw himself into Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao's house needless to say, there is no need to lock up such a talented person, not to mention Liu Bei, so later, he left Yuan Shao and came to Jingzhou. ”

Fang Shao is familiar with the Three Kingdoms, of course Liu Bei's experience is like a treasure, but Zhuge Liang was very surprised when he heard it, and he forgot to wave the feather fan, and exclaimed: "You are a cook who knows Liu Bei's past well, Fang Shao, you really gave my husband a lot of surprises." ”
