Chapter 169: The Zhuge Liang sisters and brothers in a difficult situation

Shi Huan heard Shi Tao and the others ridicule like this, and he was so angry that he stood up directly.

Lu Shisan hurriedly said: "Qiao Er! ”

Lu Yi also scolded: "Qiao Er, sit down!" ”

The guests all around looked over.

Shi Tao and others also looked at it.

Seeing Shi Huan glaring at him angrily, his forehead was bruised, and his body was strong, Shi Tao and the others were a little afraid.

Eventually, they lowered their heads, and instead of mocking, they began to talk about the classics.

Shi Huan knelt down and sat back in place.

Lu Shisan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Lu Yi and Zhuge Ruoxue, and lowered his voice and said, "So, I reminded the young owner and the young lady before, you may lose your temper and have to suppress it." ”

"Since ancient times, literati have been inferior to each other."

"The second brother of the young lady is young, and without the support of Mr. Zhuge Xuan, he is not a native of Jingzhou, and his temperament is a little arrogant, it is normal to encounter such a situation in Jingzhou."

"Even when we do business here, dress brightly, and often associate with powerful people, we are often ridiculed by these shabby students."

Zhuge Ruoxue's eyes were a little red and said, "What is the eldest sister doing!" The two younger brothers are so bad, doesn't she ignore them? ”

Lu 13 asked, "Does Mr. Zhuge Xuan have children?" ”

Zhuge Ruoxue shook her head and said, "No." The concubine's parents died early, and my uncle was not worried about us, and he never married a wife in his life, so how could he have children? ”

Lu Shisan said: "About last year, I heard someone here say that the Kuai family married the eldest daughter of Mr. Zhuge Xuan, and it seems to be a niece. At the beginning, I didn't expect that Mr. Zhuge Xuan was the uncle of the young lady, so I didn't pay too much attention to it. Now that I think about it, it should be your eldest sister, young lady. ”

After a pause, Lu Shisan sighed: "The Kuai family, but Jingzhou is definitely a prestigious family. ”

"In Jingzhou, the four major families of Cai, Kuai, Zhang and Huang have far more power than Jingzhou Mu."

"These four major families were also supported by Jingzhou Mu to deal with other thieves in Jingzhou."

"It's just that the other sect thieves were suppressed, and the four major families rose up in time to form a new powerful force."

Looking at Zhuge Ruoxue, Lu Shisan continued: "The young lady and eldest sister can join the Kuai family, that is, the fish leaps over the dragon gate, and the pheasant flies on the branch and becomes a phoenix. ”

"It seems to be glorious and wealthy, and there is no need for food and clothing."

"However, how can the door of the Wang family be so easy to enter?"

"Once you enter, you will be exhausted every step of the way, and if you take one wrong step, you will no longer be favored, and at worst you will lose your life."

"Not to mention, the women of the Wang family must also have the support of their mother's family."

"The stronger the mother's family, the more favored they are."

"Mr. Zhuge Xuan is a friend of Jingzhou Mu, when he was alive, the young lady and eldest sister still had a breath to breathe, and someone to support."

"Now that Mr. Zhuge Xuan is gone, who will take the young lady and eldest sister seriously?"

"At this time, let alone taking care of the young lady's two younger brothers, I'm afraid that I am also miserable, and I just wash my face with tears all night."

"Over the years, I have been in contact with powerful people from all walks of life, and I have seen a lot of these."

Zhuge Ruoxue's face turned pale.

Lu Yi gently patted her back.

Later generations often say that the Zhuge family is a prestigious family, and it is also well-known in Jingzhou, and it can even be comparable to the four major families of Cai, Kuai, Zhang, and Huang.

Now it seems that it is all just a non-existent thing.

Zhuge is in Langya, and the ancestors did have an important official Zhuge Feng, but it was all during the period of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty.

In Zhuge Liang's father's generation, it has been more than two hundred years, and it has completely declined, what is the reputation?

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a poor family.

Fortunately, Zhuge Liang's uncle Zhuge Xuan has some skills and has some friendship with Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao.

But it doesn't stop there.

Although Zhuge Xuan had been the Yuzhang Taishou of Liu Biao, he was quickly defeated by Zhu Hao, the Yuzhang Taishou appointed by the imperial court.

Later, Zhuge Xuan fled to Jingzhou with Zhuge Liang's brothers and sisters, and so far, he has not been an official.

How can it be possible to support the theory of a wealthy family?

It was completely because the brothers Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin were too powerful that later generations thought that the Zhuge family was admired by the world at the end of the Han Dynasty.

In this regard, the light of Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin brothers is so dazzling that people in later generations are blinded and mistakenly think that the Zhuge family is as expensive as other wealthy families before them.

Now, without Zhuge Xuan, the only bond with Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao has been broken.

Whether it is the eldest sister who married into the wealthy Kuai family, or the lonely brothers Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jun, they can only suffer.

Fortunately, Zhuge Liang's husband seems to be Huang Chengyan, one of the principals of the Huang family, one of the four major families in Jingzhou.

Zhuge Liang is so young, he can be promoted by the academy as a "Wolong", probably because the academy sees Huang Chengyan's face.

But because there is no real backer, how can other students look at it?

In addition, Zhuge Liang compares himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi.

These students are naturally sour one by one.

In some ways, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong have very similar temperaments.

The servants of the restaurant brought food and drinks.

Seeing Zhuge Ruoxue's expression, Lu Shisan also realized that he had talked a little too much, and hurriedly said, "Let's eat!" After eating, let's rest first. Tomorrow, I will send someone to inquire where the two younger brothers of the young lady live now, and then take you there. ”

After eating, the group returned to their accommodation.

All night, Zhuge Ruoxue tossed and turned and didn't fall asleep.

Early the next morning, Zhuge Ruoxue got up and urged Lu Shisan to quickly inquire about the residence of Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jun's brothers.

It was only in the afternoon that I finally found out the situation and whereabouts of the two brothers.

It turned out that when Zhuge Xuan was alive, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao often sent people to send some money to Zhuge Xuan, and Zhuge Xuan was barely able to maintain daily expenses.

So, he bought a small house in Xiangyang, near the city gate.

Because Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jun brothers are both relatively intelligent and have passed the assessment of the academy, Zhuge Xuan sent the two brothers to study in the academy.

Zhuge Xuan died of illness, and Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao only sent someone to help take care of Zhuge Xuan's funeral.

After that, he didn't care about Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jun brothers.

Although both brothers were studying at the academy and had a stipend similar to that of Yulu, it was far from enough for their daily expenses in the city.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jun brothers sold their house in the city and bought a simple thatched house in the eastern suburbs of Xiangyang.

And the transmission of the "Wolong" road number was the idea of Zhuge Liang's husband Huang Chengyan.

Huang Chengyan knew Zhuge Liang's difficulties, and he was afraid of hurting his face, so he didn't dare to directly fund the money, so he could only ask the academy to help build momentum, so that Zhuge Liang's reputation could spread, and he could be valued by Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, so that he could become an official and become an official.

Naturally, there are also two brothers who continue to survive.

It's a pity that Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao saw that Zhuge Liang was too young, so he did not agree to meet him, let alone arrange an official position.

At this time, Zhuge Liang even left the academy and used the remaining money to buy some fields to cultivate to maintain the lives of the two brothers.

And Zhuge Jun is still studying in the academy.

Lu Yi was a little stunned when he heard Lu Shisan's report.

Zhuge Liang ploughing the fields?

He thought of the content in the "Teacher Table" in the junior high school Chinese textbook: Chenben cloth clothes, ploughing in Nanyang.

It's just that Zhuge Liang is still in the suburbs of Jingzhou now.

If I didn't show up, I should have finally moved to Nanyang.

After buying some meat, vegetables, rice and other daily necessities in Xiangyang City, Lu Yi took Zhuge Ruoxue, Nangong Yan, Shi Huan, and Chen Gong, under the leadership of Lu Shisan, and rode a carriage directly to the eastern suburbs of Xiangyang City.

It was only after nearly twenty miles out of the city gate that I saw a lonely thatched house in a rural field.

The thatched house is not large and is surrounded by a fence.

Inside the fence, there are a few chickens and ducks scattered around playing.

However, at this time, the door of the thatched house was closed.

Lu 13 pointed to the fence and said, "It should be here." ”

Zhuge Ruoxue looked at this simple house and cried again.

Seeing this, Nangong Yan said, "Lao Shi and I are looking around, the rest of you are here, don't walk around." It is densely wooded and may be infested with large insects. At worst, if you encounter bandits, it is unimaginable. ”

The big insect refers to the tiger.

Shi Huan hurriedly responded, walked aside with Nangong Yan, and looked around.

It wasn't until the sunset that I saw Nangong Yan and Shi Huan walking over with a young man wearing coarse linen clothes, holding trouser legs, barefoot, and covered in mud.
