Chapter 5: A Trip to Jingzhou
When they went to Jingzhou, at the house of their father-in-law Huang Chengyan, Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui explained to Zhuge Liang and Huang Su: "Liang'er, Su'er, you go this time, just take a look, don't stay too much!"
Sima Hui said: "Zhuge Liang, what your master said makes sense, just go and relax this time."
Zhuge Liang said: "Got it, two masters, then let's go!" After speaking, he pulled Huang Su out of the house together, got into the carriage and went to Jingzhou to visit his uncle-in-law Liu Biao. Along the way, the two of them were in love with concubines, talking and laughing, and they arrived in Jingzhou in a blink of an eye.
Came to Jingzhou, did not expect the warm welcome, uncle-in-law Liu Biao shirked official duties several times, inconvenient to come, even the meals prepared by the post station are just coarse tea and light rice in ordinary people's homes, and the sleeping place is also extremely simple, looking at the scene in front of him, Zhuge Liang really has a feeling of wanting to laugh, Zhuge Liang said: "Hehe, really conscious, good, good!"
"Husband is angry?" Huang Sudao.
"No, how can I be angry about such a trivial matter, but ......!" Zhuge Liang said to Huang Su.
"But what?" Huang Su asked softly.
"It's just that I've been cold, and I'm not used to it for a while!" Zhuge Liang said.
"Yes, let my husband be wronged!" Huang Su said sadly.
Zhuge Liang looked at his beloved wife's sad face, and hurriedly comforted: "Where does my beloved wife say, if you want to say that you have been wronged, it is also the ......beloved wife who has been wronged by my Kong Ming's hand."
After two or three more, after the aunt heard the news of her niece's coming, she came to visit, at this time, Zhuge Liang and the two were eating, and the aunt looked at the two in front of her, and hurriedly apologized, "Su'er, let you be wronged, go, go home with your aunt!" As he spoke, he took the two back to the mansion of Liu Zhou, only to see that the mansion was full of maids and golden walls.
Zhuge Liang looked at the scene in front of him, and strengthened his determination to establish a foundation and let his wives enjoy the blessings of the world.
After a while, Liu Biao came back, looked at Zhuge Liang and the two in front of him and hurriedly said: "Niece, the hospitality is not good, and the people under you are not doing well, so you will suffer."
Zhuge Liang looked at the hypocritical person in front of him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help showing a trace of contempt, it was this inadvertent smile that made Yang Qi behind Liu Biao see it, so after Zhuge Liang and the two left, he said: "Lord, Zhuge Liang and his wife are here, why don't you arrange something for Zhuge Liang to do?"
Liu Biao said: "Then according to your consciousness, what should be arranged for Zhuge Liang to do?" He laughed as he spoke.
Yang Qi, who had been with Liu Biao for a long time, of course understood what the lord was thinking, and hurriedly said: "In the horse eucalyptus, there is still a lack of a horse feeder, so it is better to let Zhuge Liang go!"
Liu Biao pretended to be angry and said: "Nonsense! Zhuge Liang came to be a guest, how could he let him do such a thing! Hugh's Goodbye! ”
Yang Qilian said: "Yes, yes, it's the subordinates who are not thoughtful, but let Zhuge Liang feed the horse just to test him and see if he can use it!"
Liu Biao smiled: "Hmm! Let Zhuge Liang feed the horses! With that, he left.
Yang Qi came to Zhuge Liang's residence and said to Zhuge Liang: "The lord asked me to inform you and let you go and feed the horses!" After speaking, wait for Zhuge Liang's expression, so as to test Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang looked at Yang Qi with a jiān face in front of him, and after thinking about it for a few seconds, he suddenly became angry and said, "How can you let me go and feed the horses, is that what my uncle-in-law really said?"
Yang Qi was satisfied with Zhuge Liang's expression, and let go of a trace of precaution in his heart, and then said: "Yes, the lord has arranged a job to feed the horses!"
Zhuge Liang seemed to suddenly fall to the bed, and said weakly: "Since my uncle-in-law asked me to feed the horses, then I will go!" After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, Yang Qi left.
Huang Su looked at Zhuge Liang's appearance and laughed: "Husband is really good at pretending!" I almost cheated on my wife! ”
"Hey, I'm forced to do this too!" Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly.
Zhuge Liang came to the manger, looked at the horses in front of him, and said with a wry smile: "Horses, horses!" It's a bit of an overkill for me to feed you! ”
Listening to Zhuge Liang's self-talk, an elderly old horseman next to him said: "It's overkill, right, tell you, everyone who comes to feed the horses thinks that they are overkill." I know that today's young people are so ambitious, and being a groom has to be a groom, and someone has to do everything, right? Besides, no matter how ambitious you are, you have to start small, isn't this also a good training, you can't do anything like this, do it well, young man! ”
Zhuge Liang said: "Thank you for your teachings!" With that, he began to clean the stables.
After two years, Zhuge Liang and Huang Su came to Liu Biao and said goodbye to Liu Biao, Zhuge Liang said: "Lord Liu, I'm leaving!"
Liu Biao said: "Is the position of a horse official satisfactory?"
Zhuge Liang said: "Do your best!"
"Then why go?" Liu Biaodao.
"Lord Liu thinks that Zhuge Liang is a useless and incompetent person, and if I stay here any longer, I will only damage the adult's business and the adult's reputation! Besides, it's been a few days since I've been here this time, so it's time to go back! ”
Liu Biao said: "I heard that when I was walking on the horse yesterday, there was an accident!" But because of this? ”
Zhuge Liang said: "There was a little accident, but it has nothing to do with this matter."
"Then you can go, don't you have anything to say before you leave?" Liu Biaodao.
When Zhuge Liang turned to leave, Liu Biao said: "Since you have finished speaking, it's not too late to leave after speaking!"
Zhuge Liang said: "Then good Lord Liu, I will say it bluntly, I think that the prescient virtuous lord can remain true after he becomes famous, so he can be famous for future generations; Establish fame and be aggressive, so that you can go down in history; Being able to identify talents and grant them appropriate official positions is the one who can achieve success. ”
Liu Biao said: "You don't know, you are good at starting a career, you are good at success, you have a good start, you don't necessarily have good results, you can't even do a good job, do you still want to be a general?" Let's go, I'm not short of grooms. ”
"Humph!" Zhuge Liang said angrily, turned around and brushed his sleeves away.
When Zhuge Liang left, he left a letter, in which he wrote, "I will be born not zìyóu, drifting away from the mouth of the small gourd, feeling that the old people of the country are hospitable, and the scholars who have no material are all climbing the dragon, fortunately my uncle-in-law taught me, I am willing to follow the marquis of ten thousand households." ”
Looking at the letter left by Zhuge Liang, Liu Biao said: "This Zhuge Liang is really self-aware!"
Yang Qi said: "The lord really plans not to use Zhuge Liang?"
Liu Biao said: "Don't use it for the time being!"
"It's a good temporary use, so it's embarrassing for my subordinates!" Yang Qi was embarrassed.
"There are thousands of celebrities in Jingzhou, why are you so interested in Zhuge Liang!" Liu Biao doubted.
"The lower official heard that Zhuge Liang lived in seclusion at the mouth of the gourd, practicing the art of war day and night, and the lower official was worried that if Zhuge Liang could not be used by the lord, he would raise tigers for trouble!"
Liu Biao said: "A little Zhuge Liang is not yet placed!"
Yang Qi said: "The lord doesn't listen to Weichen's words today, and I'm only afraid that it will be ......" After speaking, he left.
Zhuge Liang and Huang Su said goodbye to Liu Biao, and hurriedly left Jingzhou in a carriage, at night, Zhuge Liang and Huang Su stayed in a remote inn, Zhuge Liang felt that it would not be safe on the road tomorrow, so he left a mark on the inn tree, and asked the water thief brothers to escort him back.
Sure enough, there was an accident, Zhu Hao sent someone to assassinate Zhuge Liang, but fortunately, with the help of the Water Thieves Gang, he was able to turn into a disaster and return to Hulukou safely.
Returning to the master, Zhuge Liang discussed with Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui: "Master, according to the apprentice's opinion, whoever can possess Jingzhou will be able to share the emperor's industry and achieve the world, I don't know if what the apprentice said is right?"
Huang Chengyan said: "Yes, Jingzhou will become a battleground for soldiers!"
Zhuge Liang said in his heart: "After rì, I must take Jingzhou first, firstly, by virtue of its terrain, and on the other hand, I want to let him see how he captured Jingzhou in front of Liu Biao, and let Liu Biao see how he competes for dominance in the world!"
