Zhuge Rong was startled and hurriedly retracted her hand.

The two looked back, but saw Old Madam Zhuge and Huang Yueying standing behind staring at them. Old Madam Zhuge was full of displeasure on her face, and Huang Yueying, who was supporting her, was smiling.

Zhuge Rong's face suddenly turned crimson, but on the surface, she was not in a hurry, pretending to walk up calmly, and also supported her mother, and said with a smile: "Mother, why did you come out." ”

Old Madam Zhuge patted her hand gently, pretended to be stunned, and said, "I knew that you would be ashamed again, can I not come out to look at you." ”

"Who is not ashamed, mother, what are you talking nonsense." Zhuge Rong lowered his head and complained.

At this time, Fang Shao was calm, stepped forward and bowed, and said lightly: "Shao has seen the old lady, I have seen the lady." ”

From the front, Shao was just Zhuge Liang's cook, but now in less than half a year, he has become a Zhonglang in General Zuo's mansion, and has changed from a grass man to an official sergeant, although he has never felt inferior before, but the change of identity at this time has also made him a little more confident in front of Mrs. Zhuge .

Mrs. Zhuge also returned the salute slightly, and said, "You're here, it's cold outside, don't stand, let's go into the house and talk together." ”

Mrs. Zhuge 's words and attitude were diametrically opposed to her previous coldness, and she didn't know if she reluctantly accepted the fact that this little cook was going to become his son-in-law, or if Fang Shao's status had improved.

Several people entered together and sat down in different places, and Fang Shao said: "Mr. asked me to bring a message to the old lady and the lady, everything is fine now, please take care of your body, don't worry about him." ”

"Okay, okay, Ah Liang is fine." Mrs. Zhuge was relieved when she heard this, and she couldn't stop nodding.

Huang Yueying also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Zhongzheng, I heard that you have made a lot of contributions in the first battle of Chibi this time, no wonder you were promoted to work by the lord so quickly, you are really young and promising." ”

Fang Shao smiled indifferently and said humbly: "Madame has won the award, Shao just came up with a few strategies, all of which are due to Mr. Teaching, and it is not enough to worry about it." ”

Before the two ladies could say anything more, Zhuge Rong over there hurriedly said: "You don't have to be modest, I heard that Zhou Yu burned Chibi with fire, relying on the fire attack plan you came up with, a chain plan or something, everyone praised you for your clever calculation." ”

It seems that this gossip spread really fast, not long after the Battle of Chibi ended, the news here reached Xiakou, Zhuge Rong inquired in detail, thinking that she had a heart.

The old lady Zhuge didn't go out of the door, and the second door didn't go out, and it was rare to hear these big things, at this time, when she heard the aunt and sister-in-law talk about Fang Shao so powerfully, she couldn't help but be suspicious and surprised, and hurriedly said: "Fang Shao, is there really such a thing?" ”

Fang Shao was calm, coughed lightly a few times, pretended to be very embarrassed, and said after a while: "Since the old lady asked, Shao didn't dare to hide it, Shao did give Zhou Yu a lot of strategies, but the big strategies were all ideas taken by the lord and the gentleman, and the lady and the young lady were a bit exaggerated." ”

Fang Shao not only recognized his own merits, but also put Zhuge Liang in a higher strategic realm, which was considered a great joy, then Huang Yueying was naturally happy when she heard it, her face did not show it, but she said: "It is already very rare that you can do this at such a young age." Auntie, it seems that the lord and husband are not mistaken, Zhongzheng is indeed a rare material to be made. ”

Fang Shao can see it now, his sister-in-law sang and showed off herself, nothing more than to establish a tall heroic image for him in front of the old lady, but seeing that the old lady still had a face like a grandmother, I don't know if my impression of him has really changed.

Old Madam Zhuge paused for a long time, then coughed a few times with Fang Shao, and said, "That, Zhongzheng, you have also worked hard, since you are back, take a good rest at home, A-Ying, let the kitchen do more good things, and make up for Zhongzheng's body." ”

As soon as the old lady said these words, the two sisters-in-law were overjoyed, while Fang Shao secretly felt that it was really not easy.

However, Fang Shao said: "Thank you for your concern, it's just that Shao has also been entrusted by the lord this time to send Jiangdong to discuss important matters, and he will be on the road in a hurry." ”

Zhuge Rong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Why do you have to leave when you come back, so you can stay for a few more days." ”

Fang Shaozheng said: "This matter is very important, and it cannot be delayed for a moment." Shao's letter has been brought, seeing that Mrs. and Miss are all at ease, Shao is also at ease, without further ado, Shao will leave. ”

Fang Shao got up to say goodbye, Zhuge Rong had no choice but to send him out, but was secretly pulled by the old lady Zhuge , the old lady finally showed a smile on her face, and said: "Business is important, then we won't keep you, you take care of yourself, go early and return early." ”

"Hmph, are you still afraid that I will take advantage of your daughter, aren't they all my people sooner or later......"

Fang Shao had some disdain for the old lady in his heart, but he had no choice but to glance at Zhuge Rong, give her a smile, and then turn away.

Seeing each other in a hurry, farewell is also in a hurry, the gathering and dispersion of life is like a cloud in the sky, erratic, at this moment, Zhuge Rong watched the slender figure disappear from the field of vision, and couldn't help but feel a little sadness in her heart.

Fang Shao only stayed in Xiakou for a morning, and then took a boat down the river on the same day, and went straight to Chaisang in Eastern Wu.

Two months ago, as Zhuge Liang's follower, Fang Shao sent an envoy to Chaisang, and two months later, as Liu Bei's diplomatic representative, Fang Shao went to Chaisang again, both things and people, but the mentality was completely different.

In the past few days along the way, Fang Shao has been thinking about how to successfully complete the mission that Liu Bei gave him.

Although he has analyzed a lot before, Sun Quan still has a lot of options, for example, he can temporarily put down the four southern counties, he will not attack, and he will not allow Liu Bei to attack, and it will not be too late to go when he is free.

Similarly, he could also borrow Liu Bei's hand to get it, but after taking the four counties, he only assigned the two counties in the south to Liu Bei, and occupied the two counties on the south bank himself, so that Liu Bei was completely sealed in the south.

He can still ......

In short, this negotiation is not as easy as Zhuge Liang analyzed in advance, or maybe it is easy with Zhuge Liang's diplomatic means, but in Fang Shao's own opinion, it is quite difficult.

Just thinking about it all the way like this, at noon, Chaisang City was close at hand.

Fang Shao walked out of the cabin, stood on the bow of the boat and looked at Chaisang from afar, thinking about Sun Quan and his cunning ministers such as Zhang Zhao had a headache, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "When I see Sun Quan's kid, what strategy should I use to persuade him, it's not easy to do." ”

Just as he was thinking about it, a wave came, the hull of the ship was bumpy and unstable, and Fang Shao shook a few times.

It didn't matter if it was a moment, a thought suddenly popped up in his mind, and between his eyebrows, he couldn't help but have a few weird smiles.

"Hey, that's it!"
