After sending Sima Yi away, Zhuge Liang, who was worried about it, prepared to pay an official visit to Liu Biao, and then hurried back to Luoyang to implement the huge plan that became clearer and clearer in his heart.

Perhaps subconsciously not wanting Sima Yi to use those poisonous strategies, Zhuge Liang told Sima Yi the night before Sima Yi left, that he was going to adopt a series of strategies to ban salt on the surface and secretly carry out a financial run on the Jin State. After Sima Yi listened, he did not hide his admiration for Zhuge Liang, and said with great certainty that this serial strategy was definitely enough for Zhao Xing to drink a pot, and if he added some auxiliary strategies proposed by himself, he would definitely be able to completely make Zhao Xing not turn over.

After listening to Sima Yi's words, Zhuge Liang was very depressed. Speaking of which, Sima Yi still tends to use some ruthless and vicious schemes, and does not give up his original idea because of his own chain strategy.

It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married. Zhuge Liang knew that no matter what the imperial court did, Yizhou would definitely tear his face and completely break with Zhao Xing this time. Once Sima Yi's vicious schemes are implemented, Zhao Xing will definitely be in a situation where the Sima family will never die. I hope that Zhao Xing can be completely eliminated this time, otherwise, the Sima family will definitely die a very ugly death!

The process of formally visiting Liu Biao was lackluster, Zhuge Liang took out the secret edict of the Son of Heaven, and Liu Biao, who had always lived in the Great Han Sect, naturally did not dare to openly disobey, respectfully expressed his due respect to the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, and immediately promised to obey the call of the imperial court, and would definitely stand firmly in the camp of the imperial court when the time came.

Zhuge Liang, who didn't expect much effort from Liu Biao in his heart, accepted it when he saw it, and appropriately expressed his admiration for Liu Biao's loyalty to the monarch's behavior of the country, and then prepared to return to the post house to pack up his things and immediately return north to Luoyang. At this moment, Liu Biao said in a hurry: "Special envoy Kong Ming should not be in a hurry to return to the post house, I still have something to ask." ”

Zhuge Liang wondered in his heart, so he had no choice but to say: "Please also ask Liu Zhoumu to say it clearly, but if you ask, Liang will definitely tell the truth." ”

Liu Biao asked Zhuge Liang with a smile: "I heard that Nanyang Zhuge Wolong is nineteen years old, right?"

Zhuge Liang thought to himself that my age was not a secret, and many teachers and classmates at that time didn't know it, but he still replied: "Some time has passed before my birthday, and now I should be twenty years old." ”

Liu Biao then asked, "Have you ever been married?"

At this time, Zhuge Liang guessed what Liu Biao was going to do next, but he still replied quietly: "Liang has been studying since he was nine years old, and he has not yet been married, I don't know why Lord Zhou Mu asked such a question?"

Liu Biao rubbed his palms happily, and then shouted loudly into the tent: "Brother Huang, don't come out quickly, you also heard it just now, Kong Ming is not married yet!"

While speaking, an old man with a high ranking came out of the back hall, and it turned out to be Huang Chengyan, a famous man in Cannan who Zhuge Liang knew.

After the two met, Zhuge Liang gave Huang Chengyan the etiquette that the student had met the teacher, and then asked: "I don't know how Huang Lao is actually in the mansion of the state pastor? Could it be that he came to see the student today?"

After Huang Chengyan looked at Zhuge Liang carefully, he said happily: "Kong Ming, I came to see you today, but I have a happy event I want to tell you!"

Zhuge Liang had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Please also ask Huang Lao to speak clearly." ”

Huang Chengyan then said: "Kong Ming may not know that the wife of me and Liu Zhoumu is the eldest and youngest daughter of Zhang Wen, the Sikong of the current dynasty, and the sister of Cai Mao of the Xiangyang clan. I have a daughter, named Shuo, the word Wanzhen, twenty-eight years old, familiar with military books, proficient in machine formations, astronomy, geography, resourceful, can be a good match for you!"

Zhuge Liang heard Lao Huang boast about how good his daughter was in front of outsiders, and he inevitably had some strange thoughts in his heart. They all say, "Wang Po sells melons, sells herself and boasts!" This old Huang is really a little out of tune, right? As if his daughter can't get married, he rushes to "sell" to himself.

Liu Biao on the side has been observing Zhuge Liang's expression, seeing that Kong Ming has not shown obvious agreement or rejection on his face until now, and he also sighs in his heart that Zhuge Liang is really a masterpiece, and his joy and anger are invisible, maybe he really missed a virtuous person who can be of great use. Although he sighed in his heart, he did not forget the request of his brother-in-law Huang Chengyan, so he immediately spoke out to help say good things: "Kong Ming must not be suspicious, I have also seen the niece of the Huang family, dignified and virtuous, intelligent, and familiar with the subset of scriptures and history since childhood, and likes to make clever things, which is just a good match for such a resourceful descendant like you." ”

Since even Liu Biao came forward to protect the media, it shows that what Huang Chengyan said is not a lie, this Huang Shuo may really be a strange woman who is better than a man. Zhuge Liang thought that although he is now among the court, but the support behind him is not strong, in addition to Liu Bei's appreciation, there is really no big guy close to him, if he agrees to this marriage, he will not only befriend Zhang Wen in the future, but also get the support of Liu Biao in Jingzhou, so after a little thought, he agreed to this family business.

Zhuge Liang said politely to Huang Chengyan: "Liang is not talented, and he is favored by Huang Lao, which is really a blessing for three lives!"

Huang Chengyan saw that Zhuge Liang agreed to this marriage, so he said happily: "Don't be so angry, you will be a family in the future! After you return to Luoyang, quickly prepare the bride price, let people come to Xiangyang to propose marriage, and strive to handle this family affair within the year!"

Zhuge Liang was completely speechless in his heart, but he still had to say honestly: "In this way, I have to bother Lord Taishan and Lord Zhou Mu......"

On the second day, after a trip, Zhuge Liang, who had gained a lot of money, finally embarked on the road back to Luoyang. This envoy lasted for two months, Zhuge Liang not only persuaded Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Yuan Shu, Liu Yan, Liu Biao, Sima Fang and other forces to join the anti-Zhao alliance one after another, but also witnessed the establishment of the Phoenix Academy, and finally inexplicably decided to set a marriage that I didn't know if it was right or wrong.

Zhuge Liang, who didn't care about other things, marched towards Luoyang without stopping, and finally returned to the imperial capital Luoyang at the end of September, and a huge plot against the Jin State and Zhao Xing finally opened the curtain......

PS: Some books record that Huang Chengyan, Gao Shuang, is a famous scholar in the south of the country, and Zhuge Kongming said: "Wen Jun chooses a wife, there are ugly girls in the family, yellow heads and black heads, and they are worthy of matching." "Kong Mingxu, that is, to carry it. At the time, people thought that they were laughing, and the township said for it: "Don't be a Kong Ming to choose a woman, just get an ugly girl", "Three Kingdoms: The Biography of Zhuge Liang", Pei Note quoted "Xiangyang Ji".

Nandao thought that the rumors circulating among the people about Huang Yueying's ugly appearance, yellow hair, and dark skin were not credible, and the reason was the same as the truth that people said that Zhang Fei was a bearded black and ugly man. Since Zhang Feichang was ugly, how could he marry the daughter of the Xiahou family as his wife? Zhang Fei's two daughters could actually become the empress of Shu? Even if Liu Bei was very good with Zhang Fei, he might not let his son marry an ugly monster as a daughter-in-law in order to win over his sworn brothers, right?

It is recorded in "Xiangyang Old Records": "At the end of the Han Dynasty, Zhu Cai was the most prosperous, Cai Shi's sister was Zhang Wen, the eldest daughter was Huang Chengyan's wife, the youngest daughter was Liu Jingsheng's wife, and Mao's sister was also. It can be seen from this passage that Huang Yueying's mother is the eldest daughter of Zhang Wen, the imperial lieutenant of the dynasty, Huang Yueying's aunt is the wife of Liu Biao, who is dignified, and Huang Chengyan himself is a famous person in Xiangyang.

Judging from the marriage customs at that time, not only Zhang Wen, Liu Biao, Huang Chengyan and others paid attention to marrying wives and daughters, but also definitely had high requirements for appearance, and it was impossible to marry an ugly woman to go home. Since Huang Yueying's mother is not ugly, how can the daughter born to her and Huang Chengyan, who looks "high-spirited," be an ugly monster? Could it be a genetic mutation?

Moreover, Huang Chengyan, who is a celebrity in Xiangyang, has something wrong with his brain, causing him to say in front of his future son-in-law: "I heard that you want to marry a daughter-in-law, my family has an ugly daughter, with burnt hair and dark skin, although she looks a little malnourished, she is very talented, and she is a good match for you." If he dares to say this, the first one who can't let him go is Huang Yueying's mother! And his daughter is very likely to commit suicide directly by hanging herself from a beam to thank the world! Think about it, even his own son arranges himself like this, what's the point of living?

The most critical point is that Kong Ming was the most top-notch talent of the young generation at that time, although his family was in the middle, he was also a well-known child of a family. Judging from the current records and legends, Zhuge Liang is definitely a handsome guy, and he can't do it? Regardless of his face, he has to marry an ugly daughter-in-law and go home to answer himself every day?

Some people may say that Huang Yueying is talented, and Zhuge Liang takes a fancy to her talent. Phew, that era talked about "a woman is virtuous if she is not talented", just now, if you have Zhuge Liang's IQ, will you take a woman who is as smart but ugly as yourself, or marry a woman with a normal IQ but beautiful and virtuous?

In all this, Nandao seriously despised those people and records who rumored Huang Yueying's ugliness, and it was typical that they couldn't eat grapes and said that grapes were sour! Nandao firmly believed that Huang Wanzhen, or Huang Yueying's sister, must have been so viciously slandered because of her talent and appearance, which caused the countless long-tongued women around her family to be jealous to death!
