Next to the simple and solemn ancestral hall of the Zhuge family, it is a small courtyard that looks quite ordinary, and in the courtyard gate, there is the sound of Lang Lang reading at this time, listening to the sound, it should be more than ten children reading.

Sun Ning looked left and right, then pushed the door and entered the hospital, came to the courtyard where a few flowers and trees were planted on the left and right, and after standing still, he shouted inside: "Is Mr. Zhuge Qingyun okay?" In the next few people came to visit. ”

This greeting immediately interrupted the sound of reading inside, and after a little silence, I saw the door of the hall facing the door open, and a person came out.

But he was not an elegant or casual scholar or scribe as he imagined, but a boy of eleven or twelve years old, and no one came out after him.

Seeing that he actually bowed to himself in a dignified manner, Sun Ning was stunned, could it be that he was Zhuge Qingyun?

This is too outrageous, Zhuge Qingyun, who thinks he is a hermit and a virtuous talent, is actually a child?

Before he could change his mind, the young man had already spoken: "I have seen this son, a few seniors." Sir, he's not here......"

Sun Ning breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and immediately smiled: "Oh? I don't know where he went, but could I please come and see him? ”

"Mr. and his friends went to the mountains over there to enjoy the cool scenery and enjoy the scenery." The boy pointed to the rolling hills behind the village and explained.

Sun Ning was stunned again, this is too coincidental, he came to visit, this Zhuge Qingyun left home to travel to the mountains, could it be that he had already received the news and was deliberately avoiding himself?

But then, he dispelled this idea again, and his coming here today was also sudden, and even Xiao Changyong didn't know it, let alone a scholar here.

That's really a coincidence, people do have such a different interest from ordinary people, and they like to climb mountains and enjoy the scenery with friends in the summer.

"But I wonder when your husband will come back?" Sun Ning quickly asked again, thinking in his heart, do you want to have a three-way visit like Lao Liu? I just don't know that this Zhuge has the talent of his ancestors.

However, the boy's next answer made him relax: "Mr. Afternoon should be able to come back, he still needs to check our homework." ”

"That's very good, then let's wait here for Mr. Zhuge first?" Sun Ning smiled with satisfaction, the other party didn't go out like Zhuge Kongming for a few months, and he really didn't have that much time to visit any talents all day long.

In this way, under the arrangement of the young man, the five of them waited in the side hall on the side, and the other party was quite kind to bring them water, but it was only the most ordinary cold water.

A few people didn't care, just sat and waited while listening to the constant sound of reading aloud.

"I didn't believe it when I heard those women say that Zhuge Qingyun was not very reliable, but now I believe it a little." Shen Zhou suddenly laughed.

Xiao Qian also pursed her lips and smiled: "Yes, he is a teacher who actually left so many children here to study, but he and his friends went to the mountains to get away, it is really irresponsible." ”

"Lord, it's not that Shen Zhou can't tolerate people, people like this who can't even do their best in small things really can't afford to take on major national affairs."

Sun Ning listened to their evaluation, but he didn't rush to express his position, just thoughtfully listened to the uninterrupted sound of books next door, and said after a while: "Do you really think he is such an irresponsible person?" If that were the case, we wouldn't see it today. ”

"Huh? How so? Xiao Qian frowned, and Shen Zhou on the side quickly understood: "The lord refers to those children who are studying...... In fact, he left after everything was arranged? ”

"Exactly. Since someone invited him, he should go with him, but he did not abandon his duty because of this.

"Also, the young man who answered us just now, you have all seen it, there is no fear at all, and the response is quite appropriate, which is like a child who is only eleven or twelve years old, this should also be the work of Zhuge Qingyun's teachings.

"I think that the fact that he can go to the mountains with such peace of mind also has a lot to do with having such reliable people around him. But even so, he will still come back in the afternoon and perform his duties, so why is he not responsible? ”

Shen Zhou thought about it carefully, and nodded thoughtfully: "It's because I'm narrow-minded, and I only see people who are negligent, but I don't see it." ”

"Haha, you don't have to blame yourself, it's just human nature. And you're not wrong about it, after all, we're doing big things, and we really can't tolerate people being so casual. ”

Sun Ning smiled and comforted the other party, and then said with a straight face: "But his approach also made me realize that he is extraordinary." This is a person who knows how to trust people to delegate power, at least this is stronger than Zhuge Kongming, who has to bear everything in every detail. ”

"After Zhuge Wuhou ruled over Shu, there was no moment to spare, even if he flogged more than 50 cases, he had to personally intervene, not to mention other military affairs."

Xiao Qian, as a native of Sichuan and Shu, is naturally the most familiar with some of Zhuge Wuhou's past, and immediately understood the meaning of Sun Ning's words: "It is precisely because of this that he will exhaust his energy and cause him to die of illness on the road of the Northern Expedition." ”

"That's right, man is not a god after all, and no matter how strong his ability is, there is a limit. Zhuge Kongming, in order to repay the kindness of the prophet, really took everything on himself. Although this benefited the entire Sichuan Shu a lot, he himself suffered a lot of losses.

"If you think about it carefully, if he knows how to really delegate power, let the people below share their worries, and live a few more years, maybe he will be able to wait for the time to come, and the Northern Expedition will be successful."

Several people nodded again and again, so it seems that Zhuge Qingyun has indeed learned a lesson from the past of his ancestors, so he has such a choice, and he knows how to delegate power from small things.

Is this the choice of the wise?

But at this moment, a voice sounded from outside the door: "You look up to Qingyun so much, I really feel ashamed, I don't dare to compare with the ancestor Wuhou, let alone think that if he can live a few more years, he will be able to let Ji Han enter the Central Plains!" ”

As these words came in, the door of the hidden hall was pushed open from the outside, and a tall figure stepped in.

Unconsciously, this time came after noon, and Zhuge Qingyun really came back according to the scheduled time.

Because of the scorching sun outside, the one who came in was a little dazzling, so that Sun Ning and the others couldn't clearly identify his appearance and dress for a while.

It wasn't until he then closed the door behind him and the indoor light was dimmed that Sun Ning really saw his overall appearance clearly.

How to say it, this is a middle-aged man who looks more like a poor scholar than a wise man, not only has a scruffy beard, but also has a wide robe with many patches, and it is dirty, and at first glance it is a raunchy existence.

Only a pair of eyes, but with a strange look, at the moment they seemed to be smiling at these guests who suddenly visited him.
