She County, Bu's house.

In the small courtyard, a twenty-eight-year-old girl stood upright and smiled as sweetly as possible in the cold wind. The deep coat made of brocade is slightly larger, but in the posture of the girl sitting upright, it still shows a graceful posture, with a slender waist and round hips slightly wider than the shoulders.

"Girls don't move."

The painter holds a brush, sometimes raises his head, sometimes puts down his pen, and outlines the girl's face and figure on the scarf.

"Hmm!"

The girl faced the afterglow in the west, and straightened her sore waist again. The brilliant glow shone on her pure face, reflecting her skin like a glow, like condensation. The long eyelashes trembled slightly, and there was a slight shyness in the clear eyes like spring water.

The painter who painted the girl suddenly beat his heart faster, and secretly marveled at the appearance of the Bu girl.

A beautiful young woman in her thirties and forties, who still had the charm, pointed to the portrait of the girl on the scarf with her finger and said, "Draw the cheeks on both sides smaller." ”

When the Bu girl heard her mother say this, she wrinkled her nose, and her fleshy cheeks were quite cute.

"No!"

The painter sniffed the pungent aroma and did not dare to think of him. This girl's mother is beautiful, but her eyebrows are too fierce and intimidating.

"We are relatives of the magistrate of Haiyang County, if you draw well, you will be rewarded a lot." The young woman's clothes do not resemble that of a noblewoman, and the painter is afraid that the painter will not do his job wholeheartedly, and he tries to emphasize her identity.

After a while, under the guidance of the step mother, the painter finally painted the portrait of the girl.

Bu Mu picked up the scarf, carefully looked at the portrait on it, nodded slightly, and said, "It's a painter." ”

I saw that the girl on the portrait is very similar to the Bu girl who sits upright, the eyebrows, mouth and nose are well-proportioned and beautiful, under the slight repair of the painter, the face is a little more seductive, and this bit of style is similar to the smile on the face of the step mother, less pure, more delicate, it seems that this is the appearance of the Bu girl after a few years older.

After receiving approval, the painter packed up his pen and ink and retreated under the guidance of his attendants.

The Bu girl got up from the couch, walked her slender thighs to her mother's side, and pouted, "Mother, do you really want to send this painting to Nanchang?" ”

"It's embarrassing!" The girl blushed and said, "It's like a choice." ”

Bu Mu stroked the girl's face with her calloused palm, and said, "This is Huo Taishou of Poyang County, the official to 2,000 stones, and the eldest husband of Jianghuai. If you can marry him, you will not have to suffer from running around and toiling from now on, and you will enjoy glory and wealth, and your mother will not have to endure hardships and weave cloth day and night. ”

"And you are not the only one who sent the portrait, I learned from my cousin Zishan letter that the Lei family and the Mo family of Yuzhang are all stuffed with portraits in the famous thorns, and the Jingzhou girl is like a mountain. If you want Huo Taishou to remember you now, this is the only way. ”

Bu Mu suffered from upheaval and displacement, and fled from Xuzhou to Lujiang, and from Lujiang to Huiji Shanyin. Now because of Liu Bei, he moved from Shanyin to Danyang Shexian County.

When he first arrived in Jiangdong, the Bu family was so poor that they had to plant melons, and Bu Qi was subordinate to the powerful families in the county, and only the melons in the clan could be sold. In this way, the step mother worked hard to pull the step trainer up, try to give a good education, and train her to a famous lady.

The deep clothes on the step trainer today are still the clothes worn by the step mother when she got married, and it can be said that life is not easy. The current step-mothers are no different from some mothers in the future, thinking only about their livelihood and their daughter's future.

The trainer leaned into his mother's arms, blinking wide-eyed and his thoughts were chaotic. She has been instilled with this kind of thinking by her mother since she was a child, and she has long been accustomed to abiding by her mother's thoughts.

……

Nanchang, the county capital.

Liu Bei looked at the map of Jiangdong, holding the slip in his hand, and was unconsciously slapping it in the palm of his hand, making a rhythmic sound of "pop".

Xu Shu entered the house with the case documents in his hand and asked, "Is the lord thinking about the war in Jiangdong?" ”

Liu Bei stopped his movements and said, "No, a certain thing in Si Zhongmiao borrowed Jiang Gan's mouth to show weakness to Cao Cao." ”

There were too many documents piled up in the case, Xu Shu couldn't bend down, and shouted: "Jian Jun, can you help Shu take down the official documents?" ”

"I'll do it!"

Tai Shiheng, who was outside the door, trotted in and helped Xu Shu put the documents on the desk.

Zhuge Liang entered with a wooden box weighing several catties, and when he saw everyone in the hall, he complained: "Zhong Miao wants to take his wife, and the eldest son and I let out a rumor." In the past few months, I have received nearly 100 famous thorns and portraits of girls, and it seems that the name of Nanjun Huo Lang has already resounded in Wu Chu! ”

"But who are the nobles?"

Jian Yong walked over, with curiosity, lifted the lid of the wooden box, flipped through the famous thorns, and said in his mouth: "Nanyang Zhu, Yin, Deng, Wu, Zong, Lai, Feng, ......; Xiangyang Yang's, Ma's, Xi's, Pong's, Fanzhong's, Luo's ......; Yuzhang Lei's, Zhou's, Peng's ....... ”

Looking at these scholars he had heard of and had never heard of, Jian Yong gasped, shook his head and said: "I knew that I had taken a wife for more than ten years at night, maybe I can choose one or two of these scholar girls today." ”

As he spoke, Jian Yong subconsciously wanted to pick up a portrait of a certain girl.

Seeing this, Liu Bei stretched out his hand to stop Jian Yong with a slip, and said with a smile: "The portraits of these girls are given to Zhong Miao, and it is inconvenient for outsiders to look at each other." ”

Zhuge Liang also picked up the lid and closed it, and said: "Liang has never seen it, these are sorted out by Wang Zhongxuan, and Liang is only handed over to Zhong Miao." ”

Jian Yong was not angry, pointed to Tai Shiheng, who was eavesdropping on the side, and said: "The lord is either Yuan Fu Zhang Luo's wife, after all, Yuan Fu is already sixteen years old." ”

Tai Shi Heng, an innocent young man, instantly blushed and fled from here, and everyone laughed in the hall.

After the joke, everyone began to be busy with military and political affairs.

"Lord!"

Zhuge Liang sent the battle report of the previous conquest of Chen Fu and Zushan to Liu Bei, and said: "General Zhang pacified Lin Lishan, Chen Fu and Zushan died, and more than 1,000 people were beheaded, and 20,000 households of Lin Lishan have been moved to Lingyang, Yixian, and Haiyang counties, and are resettled by the county magistrates and subordinate officials. ”

Liu Bei flipped through the content and said, "Can someone supervise the relocation situation?" ”

Xu Shu got up from the seat and arched his hand and said: "Lord Qi, since Zhengdan, Shu will drive to inspect the nine counties of Danyang to see if the county officials are corrupt or slack. ”

"There is Lao Yuanzhi!"

After Zhuge Liang joined Liu Beijun, Xu Shu completely turned into an administration, assisted Zhuge Liang in governing Danyang, and transferred to supervise the military rations. And Zhuge Liang admires Xu Shu, who is rigorous, and the two are not only tacit partners at work, but also close friends in life.

Liu Bei put Wen Shu on the desk and said, "Kong Ming, Yun Chang Wenjiu persuaded Sun Ben and Sun Fu brothers to surrender and send them to Xuchang. South of Yuzhang, the land of Luling, has been used by our army. Now Cao Cao pacified Hebei, although there is Zhong Miao's envoy to be arrogant, but our army must also seize the time, trying to improve itself, I don't know in the opinion of the military division, when our army can defeat Wu Hui? ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said: "Sun Quan sits on Wu County, goes up to the river, and sends down the Huiji. If you want to destroy it, you need to think long-term. In the spring of the next year, the four counties of Yuzhang, Poyang, Luling, and Danyang can send money and grain, and if the lord wants to destroy Sun Quan, he can send troops at this time. ”

After a pause, Zhuge Liang emphasized again: "Er Yuan is still here, fleeing north to Youzhou; Zhong Miao made a strategy, and worried about arrogance. In the short term, Cao Cao did not have the heart to go south to Jiangdong. The lord can send troops in the spring, collect the troops in the autumn and winter, and get the whole land of Jiangdong to rest and recuperate, waiting for Cao Cao. ”

Liu Bei groaned a little and said: "Ming Sui Yunchang led the army to recruit Huiji, and swept away the barbarians; A certain led the main force out of Yishan, conquered the counties of Wu County, fought a decisive battle with the Sun family, and then destroyed it. How? ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said: "Zhong Miao is about to go to Nanchang, it is better to discuss the major matter of Wu at that time, after all, Zhong Miao is good at the method of water warfare." ”

"Yes!"

"The World Speaks New Words: Rongzhi": "When Poyang was too guarded by Huo Zhongmiao, he was heroic, famous all over the world, six out of twenty years old, and wanted to marry a wife. Wu Chu Jianghuai girl threw a stab at Yingche, painted a portrait of the house, and begged to be his wife. Huo Wenying, a member of the same clan, imitated it, and asked for a wife in the city and countryside, and the group of wives spat on him together. ”
