Chapter 246: Beautiful Young Woman

Yes, this farewell, it is a few months, think about the wedding night, but the "cave room" was not successful, and she was sent away in a hurry the next day, and the farewell was a few months, Liu Bei didn't mention it, so at the mention of it, Fang Shao felt a little guilty of her.

"Why, do you remember the bride? Haha, Zhongzheng, you are now hugging left and right, that tyrant is powerful, but he has seen it, you don't have to bear it. Liu Bei was so excited that he actually made a joke about Fang Shao.

Fang Shao smiled helplessly, "Don't make fun of Shao, the king." However, if the king is favorable, Shao really wants to take leave to go back to Chengdu. ”

Liu Bei waved his hand and said very generously: "Go ahead, go ahead, it's lonely, you have to work hard, and you should go back and enjoy the blessings of all people, hehe." ”

…… After getting Liu Bei's permission, Fang Shao did not have time to meet with Pang Tong and others, so he hurriedly embarked on the road to Chengdu in the south.

This road Fang Shao has walked no less than several times, every time he passes, there are some new changes along the way, what he sees is the countryside is more and more abundant, the city is more and more prosperous, thieves are rare, business travel is increasing, Yizhou can see a thriving scene everywhere.

"It seems that Zhuge Liang's ability to govern is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people."

In all kinds of emotion, a few days have passed in the blink of an eye, and Chengdu City is in front of you.

At this evening, there was still a distance of more than ten miles from the city capital, so Fang Shao asked the coachman to go quickly, so as to enter the city before dark, but unfortunately, halfway through, a heavy rain suddenly fell, and it didn't take long for the avenue to become muddy and difficult to walk.

Fang Shao saw that there was a small road next to the avenue, which stretched to a small manor, so he ordered the carriage to turn in, intending to avoid the rain first.

It was a secluded but elegant manor, hidden in the green bamboo, if it weren't for Fang Shao's sharp eyes, it would really not be easy to find.

When Fang Shao ran to the eaves of the gate with a few entourage, his body was already half wet, and he knocked on the door for a long time, but the door creaked open.

"Who are you looking for?" The one who opened the door was an old family servant with a Jingxiang accent, Fang Shao didn't think it was strange, there were many officials in Chengdu City, maybe this was someone's country house.

"I wanted to rush to Chengdu, but it was raining heavily on the road, so I wanted to borrow your place to take shelter for a while, and I was disturbed." Although he is a domestic servant, he is also an old man, and Fang Shao did not put on any official stands, and his tone was quite polite.

"Wait, I'll tell Madame." The old man only answered, and then squeaked and closed the door again.

At this time, in late spring and early summer, the weather is changeable, and this rain is drenching, everyone is shivering with cold, and they can't wait to hurry into the house to warm up. But the old guy didn't come for a long time, and I don't know if it was because his legs and feet were old and it was difficult to walk, or because he was old and faint, so he forgot about it as soon as he closed the door.

After waiting for a while, several attendants began to complain quietly, and Fang Shao was also a little impatient, and was about to call the door again when the door creaked open.

However, this time it was not the old servant who came out, but a dignified and beautiful young woman, followed by several maidservants.

The young woman recognized Fang Shao as the leader at a glance, so she stepped forward and saluted, and said apologetically: "The old servant has bad legs and feet, and he was a little slower when he learned about me, so he made the son wait for a long time, please come inside." ”

This beautiful young woman first made people's eyes shine, and a few decent explanations dispelled the displeasure in Fang Shao's heart, and he returned the salute, "Madame is polite, then bother Madame." ”

So Fang Shao and the others were brought in, several entourages were placed separately, and the young woman personally entertained him in an upper room, personally served a cup of hot tea, and said softly: "The weather changes suddenly, son, drink a cup of hot tea to warm up." ”

"Thank you, ma'am."

Fang Shao drank all the tea, his body gradually warmed up, and suddenly remembered that he had not asked the name of this kind lady, so he said: "The next surname is Fang, I went to Chengdu to do business, I don't know the name of the lady?" ”

The young woman poured another cup of tea for him, "It turned out to be Gongzi Fang, and the concubine is Ponzi." ”

Fang Shao nodded, "But I don't know the name of Ling Fujun's surname?" ”

Mrs. Na Pang sighed, her face sad, "The late husband is no longer there." ”

It was a widow who became a widow at such a young age, but it is a pity. ’

Fang Shao secretly sighed in his heart, thinking that he had aroused other people's sadness, he felt sorry, paused for a moment, and then changed the topic: "Listen to Mrs. Pang's accent, but is it Jingxiangren?" ”

Mrs. Pang was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile, "I think Gongzi Fang is also from the Jingxiang clan." ”

Fang Shao smiled, "I came from Xiangyang in Xia, and I didn't expect to meet my fellow villagers in Shu, it's really not easy." ”

"Xiangyang." Mrs. Pang's expression seemed to remember the past, "I heard that Xiangyang is in the midst of war, where is Fang Gongzi from, but I don't know how the war happened?" ”

Fang Shao replied very dryly: "General Guan has already broken through Xiangyang and Fancheng, and the battle will end a few days earlier. ”

Mrs. Pang's expression was a little surprised, and she immediately asked, "Since Xiangyang is broken, what about the Kuai family in Xiangyang?" ”

Fang Shao didn't know why she was interested in these things, and she didn't think much about it for a while, so she said truthfully: "The Kuai family and the king of Hanzhong are enemies, after hearing that the city of Xiangyang was broken, General Guan has been ordered by the king of Hanzhong to copy the family of the Kuai clan, and hundreds of members of the family are being sent to serve their sentences in remote places in the south and middle. ”

"What?" Madame Pang exclaimed, and her face turned pale as paper in an instant.

Fang Shao startled her, the tea in his hand almost took off, and he hurriedly said: "Mrs. Pang, what's wrong with you, could it be that in the Kuai clan, there is your old past?" ”

"No, no, nothing." Mrs. Pang was only surprised for a moment, and soon regained her calm, her expression was a little uncomfortable, and she got up and said: "Look at this rain can't stop for a moment, it's getting late, if Fang Gongzi doesn't like the cold house, why don't you rest in the house for a night, and then go to Chengdu when the rain stops tomorrow." ”

Fang Shao glanced back at the rain outside the window, it didn't look like it was going to stop soon, and seeing that it was getting dark, he had no choice but to say, "Then there will be a lot of disturbance to Madame." ”

Mrs. Pang smiled faintly, "Don't get in the way, between fellow villagers, it is also appropriate to take care of them in a different place." I won't bother Childe, and I will order someone to bring the food later, and Childe will rest early after using it. ”

Mrs. Pang seemed to have something on her mind, and she was afraid that Fang Shao would see it, so she hurriedly wanted to leave. Fang Shao met with him in Pingshui, and it was inconvenient to ask in detail, so he pretended not to know.

After a short time, the meal was delivered, and after Fang Shao was full of wine and food, he fell asleep after a short time because he was tired from the journey.

In the early summer, mosquitoes gradually increased, and Fang Shao slept for less than an hour, so he gave a few large bags of mosquito bites on his arm, and soon woke up in pain.

I woke up from this dream, and I was sleepy for a while, and when I heard that the rain had stopped outside, I was bored, so I put on a piece of clothing and went out for a night swim.

This courtyard is not big, Fang Shao lives in the east, and after a while, he staggered to the west. It was late at night, and it was already pitch black in the Zhuangzi, only the lights were still on in a courtyard in the west, Fang Shao must have been idle, and walked in leisurely.

Just walked a few steps, suddenly heard a rush of footsteps behind him, this night in the middle of the three, if people bumped into their strange guests wandering around in the Zhuangzi, it would inevitably make people think that bad intentions, so Fang Shao was clever, and shrewdly hid in the bamboo forest on the left side of the courtyard.

The man who came in was the keeper of the door, and said to the middle of the house through the door, "Madam, the gentleman has come to see you." ”

"Oh, I see, please come in, sir."

The family went away in a hurry, and after a while, Mrs. Pang came out of the house, and under the light of the lamp, her face was a little nervous but excited, and she kept tidying up her clothes as she walked down the steps, as if some important person had come to pay a visit.

Just as she was about to walk out of the courtyard, a light footstep came, and a person walked into the courtyard from outside.

"Arou, it's so late, I didn't disturb your rest."

Becoming this familiar voice, Fang Shao's expression changed immediately, and he was anxious to look out through the bamboo leaves, poking his head out, through the dim light, Fang Shao still saw the person's face clearly, and his stunned face suddenly showed a smile, as if everything had suddenly dawned.

"It turned out to be Kong Ming, no wonder this lady's surname is Pang, I think it is Pang Tong's sister Pang Shanrou, sir, there is really you, hehe......"

This Pang Shanrou is naturally the heroine in the Zhuge Liang scandal, Pang Shanrou, the sister of Pang Tong. I heard that this woman first married Kuai Yi and guarded Fangling County with her husband, and later Kuai Yi was slaughtered by Meng Da, and this Arou became a widow, and was sent to Chengdu as a hostage with the family of Hanzhong officials. Fang Shao only figured out at this time, no wonder she was so interested in the affairs of the Kuai family at that time, after hearing the news that the Kuai family was copied, her expression suddenly became very excited, it turned out that she was the daughter-in-law of the Kuai family.

Fang Shao knew that this Mrs. Pang and Zhuge Liang were childhood sweethearts, and he had made a joke about Zhuge Liang before, so that he took the opportunity to accept Mrs. Pang, Zhuge Liang was very serious at that time, but he didn't expect that he would secretly raise this Mrs. Pang in such a courtyard, and at night after such a rain, in an ambiguous season, Baba ran to have a tryst with him.

"The rain is dripping, and I can't sleep, why did you want to come to see me so late?" When Mrs. Pang spoke, she always had a faint smile on her face, and Fang Shao could see that the smile was also full of old feelings.

"I ...... I've also come back from a tour of other counties, so I'm passing by, so I'm here to see you. Zhuge Liang's tone seemed a little cramped, as if he was still a young man, Fang Shao wanted to laugh when he heard it.

"It's cold outside, let's go inside and talk."

The two of them entered the house, the door closed tightly, and only two figures could be seen swaying in the window.

At this moment, the fire of gossip in Fang Shao's heart was burning, and he couldn't restrain this strong curiosity, so after the next person left, he quietly slipped to the back window to eavesdrop.
