Chapter 4: Memories of the Three Visits to the Thatched House (Kong Ming's Inner Reading)
"I'm back!"
As soon as Zhuge Liang stepped into the small courtyard of his home, a familiar atmosphere that had not been seen for a long time had surrounded him, and the fatigue of traveling abroad for a long time was suddenly relaxed. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info not seen for half a year, the trees and flowers in the courtyard have grown taller, a few sparrows in the courtyard chirping as if to welcome him, everything in the house is fine, Zhuge Liang suddenly felt that it felt good to go home.
"Second Young Master, are you back?" The scholar hurriedly walked out of the grass hall and bowed respectfully to Kong Ming.
"Well, I just came back, I want to sleep right away, it turns out that traveling for a long time will make people tired, in fact, it's better to be at home." Zhuge Liang straightened his arm and let out a long yawn.
"Young master, you can go out to play and complain so much, it's embarrassing that you take care of the courtyard here all year round, and you're suffocated." The boy muttered quietly.
"Huh? What are you talking about there? ”
"Ah, no... Didn't say anything? Hee-hee, by the way, didn't you go out on a trip with your wife, ma'am? ”
"Mrs. said that she hadn't been back to her parents' house for a long time, and she remembered it very much, and she went back by the way when she came back."
"Oh, the young master used to go to play with his friends before, why did he bring his wife this time? By the way, where did you go on this tour? Can you tell me about it? The scholar pestered Zhuge Liang to hear something new.
"Oh, I haven't been able to go out with her since I got married, and I feel like I owe her a lot, so I went on a trip with her. This time I played for half a year and went to a lot of places, your young lady's favorite is to go to Huangshan, and she climbed the peak, saying that it is as picturesque as a fairyland, and she said that she lingered there. As for other places, I'm sleepy now, so I'll tell you about it later. Zhuge Liang walked to the bed in the cottage and stretched again.
"I'm going to get a good night's sleep now, you go out first." Kong Ming lay down and got ready to sleep.
"Yes." The scholar simply packed Zhuge Liang's luggage and the things in the room, and prepared to leave.
"Well, wait." Zhuge Liang suddenly turned over and stopped the scholar.
"What letters are there during this time? Or has someone approached me? ”
"Hmm... Yes, the eldest young master has sent you a letter, saying that he is now assisting Sun Quan in Jiangdong, and saying that he hopes you can also go to Dongwu to help him; There are also several letters from students who claim to be your former classmates, and now they are under Cao Cao, and they also want you to visit Cao Cao. ”
Zhuge Liang just smiled indifferently after hearing this, turned over and fell asleep again. The scholar was puzzled and asked: "Sun Quan and Cao Cao are both heroes in the world, why is the second young master so disdainful when he hears about these two?" ”
Zhuge Liang didn't even bother to turn over and said: "Cao Cao brought the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty to order the princes, his heart can be punished, and he is a traitor in the world." Although Sun Quan has dominated Jiangdong, he can only be regarded as inheriting the position of his brother, and his attitude towards Cao Cao's power has always been vague, and he is not a true hero. ”
"The world is so big, isn't there anyone who can be called a hero and the young master is willing to follow?"
"Now it seems that it is." Kong Ming's voice began to turn low, as if he was about to fall asleep.
"Ah, by the way, Second Young Master, there are three people who have been here twice before to meet Young Master, two of these three people are very tall but look like guards, and the other is not tall but looks very heroic, the person who wants to visit you is him, his name... Called... Oh, it's called Liu Bei Liu Xuande... Claiming to be Uncle Han Huang. ”
"Liu Bei? Liu Xuande? Zhuge Liang suddenly turned over and looked at the scholar, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking. After a while, his brows stretched, because he remembered that his friend Xu Shu Xu Yuan recommended Liu Bei to him more than half a year ago, but he was scolded by himself and left in a panic, Liu Bei he recommended should be this person, right? Or, I should indeed meet this man, although he has no foundation now, and he is wandering around, but his reputation for benevolence is quite popular, and his subordinates Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other fierce generals are also famous, he may be... Let's wait until we meet him..."
"I'm going to sleep, don't wake me up if there's nothing to do." After he told the scholar to lie down for a while, he fell asleep, he was too sleepy.
In a daze, Zhuge Liang seemed to see the scholar gently shaking his body. “… Master... Outside the door... Three people..."
"Don't bother me, I'm going to sleep." Zhuge Liang vaguely shook off the scholar, and his hand fell asleep again...
……
Sleeping at home is comfortable! Zhuge Liang didn't know how long he had been asleep, anyway, after waking up, his whole body was comfortable, and the tiredness was swept away. The feeling of relaxation and joy made him unconsciously chant poetry: "Who realizes the big dream, I know it in my life." ”
Some steam came out of the kettle next to him, Kong Ming turned around and took the kettle away, and saw the scholar kneeling beside him.
"How long did I sleep?"
"Young master, you've been asleep for three hours."
"Why are you sitting here and not going out to work?" Zhuge Liang complained to the scholar.
"Young master, Liu Bei and Uncle Liu Huang have been waiting at the gate of the cottage for a long time."
"What? Waiting outside the door? Why didn't you wake me up sooner? When I change my clothes, you go outside the door and welcome the guests in. Zhuge Liang immediately changed his clothes.
"Yes." When the boy left the building, he was still muttering, "It's not because I can't wake you up." ”
Zhuge Liang quickly got dressed. The spring breeze blew the edges of the wooden curtains, and from the window I saw three figures at the door of the courtyard, two tall people, one in a green robe, the other in a yellow robe, and a man in a red cloak between the two, and the scholar slowly walked towards them.
Zhuge Liang moved the teapot to the side of the book table, and it would be best to talk here later. It seemed that something was missing, Zhuge Liang quickly looked for the bookshelf and found it, it was a feather fan, which was a gift from his mentor Mr. Shuijing, Zhuge Liang liked to think while shaking the feather fan. Could the person who came to the humble house this time be the Mingjun he had been watching?
As he was thinking, he suddenly heard the voice of the scholar. "Young master, this is Liu Bei's Uncle Liu Huang."
The man in the red robe walked into the house, he seemed a little restrained, and before Zhuge Liang could see his face clearly, he clasped his hands together, bowed deeply to him, and said modestly: "Under Liu Bei, I have heard Mr. Jiu's name, and I am deeply honored to see him today." ”
Zhuge Liang hurriedly held the feather fan and returned the salute: "The mountain villager, if you can win the favor of the general, how dare you be arrogant?" ”
The two raised their heads at the same time and looked at each other, and their movements froze at the same time.
"I know what he's thinking..."Zhuge Liang only glanced at Liu Bei, and was deeply attracted by Liu Bei's temperament. His handsome face was filled with peace and benevolence, his brown hair was like an unquenchable firework in the midst of war, and his clear and determined eyes were full of hope and self-confidence.
"He must have thought that I was the partner he was looking for; And he must know that he is the monarch I want to follow. Although he had never met Liu Bei before, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei had a feeling of familiarity at first sight.
"Now that the traitorous ministers are in charge, Cao Cao is holding the Son of Heaven hostage, and he is a relative of the Han family, and he can't bear the suffering of the emperor and the people of Limin. Sorry for incompetence, repeated defeats, feeling Mr. Gao Yi, begging for advice. After Liu Bei finished speaking sincerely, he took Zhuge Liang deeply.
Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly, and he kept looking at Liu Bei, as if he was thinking. In the end, he seemed to have made up his mind, and solemnly returned the salute to Liu Bei: "Liang is shallow, and he can't instruct the general, but I am willing to discuss and learn with the general, please!" After saying that, he waved his feather fan lightly and pointed to the position of the book table.
The moment he turned around and walked towards the book table, no one noticed that the corners of Zhuge Liang's mouth flashed with a casual smile, which was a smile of relief.
"It's finally waiting for you! Thank God! Let me meet him. I will create our own era with this person! ”
……
Actually, the moment I saw him, I decided to follow him forever...
That's not because he has the ambition to calm the world, not because he has extraordinary abilities, and not because he is a royal clansman, but simply because he is the person I have always longed to follow!
I want to follow him all the time and achieve his ideals, that's what I need to do...
……
The lights in the room had been turned off, and Kong Ming was lying on the bed, looking at the pitch-black ceiling overhead, recalling his encounter with Liu Bei a thousand years ago. He hadn't thought about why he wanted to follow Liu Bei before, but now he slowly understood the reason. The reason why he followed Liu Bei was not because he had extraordinary abilities, nor because of his status, but because of his moral cultivation and personal charm. Therefore, for the current Liu Bei, I have no reason to accuse him of betraying his ideals, on the contrary, I should continue to fulfill my vow to follow him to the death, although I don't know the current Liu Bei, but I still have to follow my will!
But what can I do for him now? By the way, he wanted to say that he liked to play basketball last time, in that case...
