Chapter 2 Zhuge Yimen
In such an era of underdeveloped information, the affairs of the world basically rely on word of mouth, and the major events in the world are often only known by the big clans and officials with rich network resources, in the eyes of Zhuge Liang, Fang Shao is just a cook in a foreign place, but he can understand Liu Bei like this, which makes him not surprised.
Fang Shao was stunned for a moment, his mind turned, and he sneered: "Mr. is proficient in the affairs of the world, I am your cook, of course, it is different from other families, so I have nothing to do these days, I have been out to inquire about it, and I heard many people talking about that Liu Bei." ”
Zhuge Liang seemed to believe it, and said, "What do outsiders say about this person?" ”
Fang Shao thought for a while and said, "They all said that this Liu Bei's surname is kind, sincere, and a little reckless and heroic. Sir, I think he will become a big man in the future, so why don't you vote for him. ”
Zhuge Liang didn't pay attention to Fang Shao's agitation, the feather fan patted him lightly on the forehead, and said with a smile: "A cook is not good at learning recipes, but he has learned from other people's families, go and prepare tonight's meal, if you don't do well, I will deduct your wages." ”
"Alas-" Fang Shao sighed meaninglessly, and walked out of the grass hall very tiredly, continuing to deal with his vegetables and fruits.
After serving Zhuge Liang, Fang Shao carried the food box again and went to the field a mile away under the noon sun.
Walk through a forest, step over a few rocky pinnacles, cross a small river, turn a small green hill, and suddenly the eyes are clear.
Looking forward to it, I saw that under the white clouds were patches of gold, and between the horizontal and vertical areas, there were patches of paddy fields. At this time, it was noon, and the farmers either went home or sat under the shade of the trees to eat and enjoy the coolness, but a dozen feet away from the field of vision, there was a young man still wielding a hoe and working.
Fang Shao took off his shoes, approached the mud path barefoot, and waved to the young man: "Third son, rest for a while, I'll bring you food." ”
At the beginning, Zhuge Liang's brothers and sisters followed their uncle Zhuge Xuan to Jingzhou, and they had no worries about food and clothing, but later Zhuge Xuan died of illness, and Zhuge Liang's family lost their support, so it was convenient for Longzhong to cultivate and support themselves.
Later, the eldest brother Zhuge Jin went to Dongwu to serve, Zhuge Liang was ambitious and talented, and he was too lazy to take care of farm work, so these more than ten acres of paddy fields all fell on the shoulders of the third brother Zhuge Jun. It is also thanks to Zhuge Jun's diligence and neat farm work, and these more than ten acres of paddy fields have been harvested every year, but they also support this family.
Seeing that Fang Shao was coming, Zhuge Jun in the field could finally take a breath of water, and walked over with a hoe deep and shallow.
"Third son, I have a freshly roasted fish-flavored shredded pork today, it tastes very good, you can try it." Fang Shao said and opened the food box and placed the dishes and chopsticks.
Zhuge can not have Zhuge Liang's leisure and elegance, after a morning of work, he was already hungry and his stomach growled, so he had to savor it carefully, and he ate a lot when he picked up the bowl, and after a while, he swept the food clean.
"Well, yes, I'm full. Go back, I'll get back to work. Zhuge didn't say much, just a few comments on Fang Shao's carefully cooked dishes, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and walked to the field with a hoe.
Fang Shao looked at this simple young man, he had the aura of a farmer, as if he was born a farmer, and then looked at his careful appearance when he was farming, he was a little addicted to it. It seems that his ambition and surname are very different from Zhuge Liang, and it is no wonder that there are only a few strokes of him in the history books.
Fang Shao sighed, packed up his things and walked back, and as soon as he washed his feet and stepped onto the avenue, he heard someone calling his name at the end of Liuyin Road.
It was a woman's voice, delicate and clear, like an autumn cicada singing in a field in September, and like a lark humming between the branches at dusk.
Fang Shao put up a tent in his hand to look for prestige, but saw that on the boulevard, a person and a donkey came slowly, the bell around the donkey's neck kept ringing, and the beauty's long water-like hair fluttered, as if dancing with the bell.
The yellow shirt and green sleeves are wrapped in a slender figure, under the willow leaves and bent eyebrows, the big eyes like a little ink in the blue water blink and blink, diffusing the vitality of youth, and the white skin like jade, under the bright sun, is more pure white, lined with the surrounding countryside scenery, the beauty is like a person in the painting, so that people look at it and don't realize that they are a little distracted.
"Who, are you calling me?" Fang Shao looked around, he was the only one standing barefoot on the road, the beauty was not calling him but who was shouting.
When she got closer, Fang Shao squinted his eyes and looked at the smiling face carefully, as if he had seen it somewhere, he suddenly remembered, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Fang Shao has seen Miss." ”
It turned out that the girl was none other than Zhuge Xuan's youngest daughter Zhuge Rong, who had come to Longzhong Caotang to visit the two Zhuge Liang brothers last time, when Fang Shao had just arrived, and after seeing her in a hurry, she almost couldn't recognize it after so long.
Zhuge Rong asked with a smile, "Fang Shao, are my two elder brothers at home?" ”
Fang Shao pointed to the field and said, "The third prince is working in the field, sir, this should be lying high in the grass hall." ”
"Brother Jun!" Zhuge Rong jumped off the donkey, stood on the side of the road and waved and shouted to the field.
Zhuge Jun, who was farming in the field, raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw that she was coming, and he was also very happy, waving his hand and shouting: "Little sister, the second brother is at home, you can go." ”
"Brother Liang is really, how can he know how to sleep, but let Brother Jun do all the farm work." Zhuge Rong also fought for the honest Zhuge Jun.
Fang Shao hurriedly said: "I didn't say that Mr. must be sleeping, maybe he is studying, anyway, Miss don't say that I said it, otherwise Mr. will deduct my salary again." ”
Zhuge is also a lonely family, several young generations are approachable, although Fang Shao and Zhuge Liang are masters and servants, but in fact, they are also servants and friends, not to mention that Fang Shao is from the distant modern era, and he does not have such a strong sense of lordship and minister, so there are not so many taboos when he speaks.
Zhuge Rong raised her small hand and pouted: "Hmph, if Brother Liang is really sleeping, I will spank him." If he dares to withhold your wages, I will twist his ears again. ”
"Will, true righteousness." Fang Shao secretly praised this heroic girl in his heart, and said, "Then I'll take the young lady to the grass hall." ”
So Zhuge Rong got on the donkey, and Fang Shao led the donkey and walked along the country path to the cottage.
Outside the thatched hall, Zhuge Rong jumped down before entering the door, slipped into the grass hall lightly with her skirt, gently pushed open the door, and saw Zhuge Liang lying on the couch, dozing off with his cheeks in his hands.
