Chapter 112 A long conversation, Liu Bei meets Chen Deng for the first time

In the study room.

Zhuge Jin looked at Zhuge Liang who was adjusting his clothes and couldn't help but ask: "Ah Liang, how could you tell Liu Shijun that I don't know etiquette?"

Zhuge Liang's eyes were clear at this moment, and there was a youthful spirit in his eyebrows: "Brother, you didn't go to accompany the distinguished guest, but you asked the distinguished guest to come to the study to see me. Which family's etiquette did you follow?"

Zhuge Jin argued: "Liu Shijun is not a polite person. How can I refuse if he takes the initiative to ask me about my difficulties?"

Zhuge Liang looked at Zhuge Jin with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

Zhuge Jin was speechless: "Ah Liang, after all, I am your brother."

Zhuge Liang took off the silk scarf and tied his hair again, showing off his handsome young look.

Waving his sleeves, Zhuge Liang looked like an adult and said: "Brother, although my father is gone, we cannot lose his teachings. How can the Zhuge family not understand etiquette and let the distinguished guests wait outside for a long time?"

Looking at Zhuge Liang who suddenly seemed to be a different person, Zhuge Jin's eyes were full of doubts.

But suddenly.

Zhuge Jin thought of his happy younger brother.

Before his death, his father was also so confident and calm.

Although he is young, he still has the demeanor of a scholar.

"A-Liang's confusion has disappeared?"

"What did Liu Shijun say to A Liang?"

Zhuge Jin looked at Zhuge Liang in front of him in astonishment, unable to understand why Zhuge Liang had such a big change after meeting Liu Bei.

No wonder Zhuge Jin.

Zhuge Jin is the eldest son. After Zhuge Gui's death, he always believed that he was the backbone of the family and needed to take care of the family for his father.

Therefore, Zhuge Jin subconsciously thought that Zhuge Liang was still a young man who needed to be taken care of, and forgot that his younger brother had been smart and alert since he was a child.

All this time, Zhuge Jin has never had any real communication with his younger brother.

However, it’s not like Zhuge Liang was only three years old and didn’t know anything about Zhuge Jun, so how could he not understand the current situation of the Zhuge family?

The grief in my heart after my father passed away, and the frustration of not being able to share it with my brother, made me continue to deny my former self.

This made Zhuge Jin mistakenly think that Zhuge Liang was crazy.

But Liu Bei met Zhuge Liang as an outsider, and he understood the tangled and complicated emotions in Zhuge Liang's heart, and that's how he had the previous conversation.

Many times.

For a young man like Zhuge Liang who has been smart since childhood, he does not need too many dogmatic teachings.

For talented young people, it is more of a recognition!

Instead of stating the truth in a condescending and self-righteous way.

Zhuge Liang's understanding of truth and principles may not be more unique.

Liu Bei was good at discerning people's hearts, and he often visited the countryside and talked with all kinds of people.

He had a similar childhood experience to Zhuge Liang, so he can understand Zhuge Liang's true inner thoughts.

Liu Bei said that Zhuge Jin was young, which was not a mockery, but just pointed out that Zhuge Jin did not have enough experience at present and could not understand Zhuge Liang's thoughts.

When Zhuge Liang walked out of the study and greeted Liu Bei and Zheng Ping.

Both Liu Bei and Zheng Ping could not help but secretly exclaim: What a handsome young man!

At this time, Zhuge Liang spoke and behaved freely and freely, without any restraint.

You know, Liu Bei is the governor of Qingzhou, and Zheng Ping is the governor of Qingzhou!

If this was an ordinary young man, he probably wouldn't be able to speak clearly, let alone behave as well as Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Jin stood behind Zhuge Liang, looking at Zhuge Liang with a surprised look on his face as he spoke in a moderate manner but would not make the atmosphere cold.

"A Liang has recovered as before."

While Zhuge Jin was surprised, Zhuge Ying, who came to call everyone to sit down, also exclaimed and covered her lips, with tears rolling in her eyes.

Zhuge Ying's exclamation interrupted everyone's conversation.

Zhuge Liang heard the sound and complained to Liu Bei and Zheng Ping. Then he quickly came to Zhuge Ying, bowed and said in a solemn voice: "It's Liang's fault that I made my sister worried. I won't do this again in the future."

!”

Seeing that Zhuge Liang was no longer bewildered, Zhuge Ying bit her silver teeth and turned her head to wipe away her tears: "The distinguished guests are still here, so don't lose the courtesy of the Zhuge family."

"Conspiracy, you just said that you recognized Ajin as your brother?" Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Ying and stroked his beard slightly.

Zheng Ping nodded: "What do you think?"

Liu Bei lowered his voice: "A few days ago, my mother came to me privately and said that she was entrusted by Ziyi's mother and hoped that I could find a virtuous and good daughter for Ziyi."

"I originally wanted to ask my uncle for his opinion when he returns, as I said before I revealed my plan."

"But I don't know when my uncle will come back, and I can't miss Ziyi's marriage because of this."

"If Ziyi acts as a matchmaker for Zhuge Nu, what do you think of Xian's plan?"

Zheng Ping was moved when he heard this.

If Zhuge Jin's family goes to Jingzhou, the Zhuge sisters will marry into the Kuai family and the Pang family respectively.

Now that Zheng Ping has connected the Zhuge brothers with Liu Bei in advance, naturally he can no longer let the Zhuge sisters marry Jingzhou people.

Zheng Ping thought: "Ajin still has an uncle, Zhuge Xuan, who went to Jingzhou and has not returned yet."

"It's better to wait for Zhuge Xuan to come back and ask Zhuge Xuan for his opinion. After all, the elders of the Zhuge family need to know about this important matter of marriage."

"I have heard that Zhuge Xuan has talents in the state and county. Why don't you take the opportunity to make friends with him?"

Zhuge Xuan was recommended by Liu Biao as the governor of Yuzhang, so he must have some talent and learning ability.

It was a pity that Liu Biao and Liu Yao fought over Yuzhang, and the imperial court sent Zhu Hao to Yangzhou to be the governor of Yuzhang. As a result, Zhuge Xuan suffered a military disaster and died.

Sighing.

Since they all decided to bring the Zhuge brothers to Qingzhou in advance, Zheng Ping naturally would not let Liu Bei miss Zhuge Xuan.

Even if Zhuge Xuan's knowledge is limited, he is still better than ordinary scholars.

What's more, Qingzhou's employment has always been based on virtue first and ability second.

Talent and learning can be further improved, but the virtue of an official cannot be improved in a short period of time.

Liu Bei said happily: "Xian Mian's words are reasonable. Jingzhou is remote and Langya Kingdom is adjacent to Qingzhou. It is expected that Zhuge Xuan will not sacrifice the near for the distant."

After the banquet at Zhuge's house, Liu Bei and Zheng Ping stood up and left.

Because Zhuge Jin had not yet recovered from the cold, Zheng Ping left money and food for Zhuge Jin and asked him to recuperate at home and then go to Qingzhou after the spring of the new year.

As soon as Zhuge Jin declined, Zheng Ping blocked him in the name of "brother."

If the younger brother is sick and the family is in trouble, how can the older brother not help?

Zhuge Jin could only watch helplessly as Guan Hai and others moved into the house enough grain and rice to feed Zhuge's family for the first half of the year, as well as a box of gold and silver that was said to be a meeting gift for Zhuge Jin's sister, sister, and brother.

"Brother, this sworn brother you recognized is quite generous." After Liu Bei and Zheng Ping left, Zhuge Liang said jokingly: "But I can think of a way to recognize my younger brother as a gift of money and food to my always proud and proud brother.

He is quite a wonderful person."

Zhuge Jin was teased by Zhuge Liang and couldn't help but glared: "What kind of arrogance and arrogance do you think of your brother?"

Zhuge Liang was obviously in a good mood. He chuckled and said, "If you are not arrogant, why didn't your brother borrow money and food from the uncles in the clan? Instead, he went to Mi's rice shop to owe Mi's favor?"

Zhuge Jin argued: "I admire Mi Zizhong for his righteousness and wealth, and his moral integrity. Mi Zizhong and I are friends, not a simple human relationship."

Zhuge Liang smiled and did not continue to joke, but the heroic and benevolent face of Liu Bei once again appeared in his mind.

the other side.

Liu Bei left Zhuge's house and rode his horse all the way. He felt that the horse's hooves were much lighter.

If Zhuge Xuan hadn't been there, Liu Bei would have wanted to let Zhuge's family move to Linzi City directly.

"Xian Mian, do you think Zhuge Xuan can get an official position in Jingzhou?"

"If Zhuge Xuan is serving in Jingzhou, what should he do if he wants Ajin and Aliang to go to Jingzhou?"

Liu Bei was a little worried about gains and losses.

After all, after meeting two talented young men, Liu Bei naturally refused to let these two talented young men run away to Jingzhou.

Zheng Ping chuckled and said, "You are worrying too much. Zhuge Xuan is originally a subordinate of Liu Biao, so it is not too difficult to find an official who is sent to another country."

"But whether Ajin and Aliang will go to Qingzhou will not change based on whether Zhuge Xuan is an official in Jingzhou."

"The world is in chaos, and there are many military and bandit disasters on the way south. If something goes wrong along the way, how will Zhuge Xuan face his dead brother?"
