Zhou Lang Zhou Lang

"I said..." Xu Shi was a little sluggish after drinking too much wine, and Li Muyuan didn't notice it. At this moment, he suddenly realized the meaning of her words. His cheeks were hot hot.

Zhou Yu hastily mentioned the matter of marriage once outside Xuancheng, but Li Mu's reaction made him really not know how to bring it up a second time.This seemingly weak woman, who could be blown down by a mere gust of wind, seemed invulnerable. He was used to looking down on the battlefield, but he had to admit that he had no countermeasures in front of her.

I didn't know how to prepare my speech for the second time, but it was rare that Li Mu opened his mouth first, like a fortified city that had been unable to attack for a long time finally opened a first line of gates. If he is good at fighting, how could he miss it!

Seeing Li Mu's cheeks blushing, he snatched the wine bottle and turned his head away from him, Zhou Yu couldn't help laughing loudly, with the sun shining between his brows and eyes, he stood up abruptly, and chased after the victory: "You are the leader of the farmer in front of the hall. It is only for me to count the money and food of the family, am I not..."

It's a pity that before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the soldiers outside: "Mr. Quanquan, there is a visitor from outside."

"No see!" Zhou Yu frowned impatiently at being disturbed at this time, seeing Li Mu standing up following the voice, he could only change his words again, "Let him wait for a while!"

"Speaking of a guest, you, Zhou Gongjin, have always been well-versed in human feelings. How come you don't know that being able to go out in such a cold winter is a matter of life and death, or an emergency. Why do you need someone to wait?" Seizing the opportunity, Li Mu took the opportunity to stop the topic just now, and said it just right. Stopped him, and then went out to receive a famous assassin as if nothing happened.

After all, Zhou Yu was much more agile than her, she only took a step outside, and he had already stepped out of the door first, and brought in the name card.

"Huang... Chengyan..."

Li Mu still struggled to read this font, and managed to recognize it word by word. He only felt that the name was familiar, but he couldn't remember which general it was for a while.

"I gonna go see……"

Li Mu took the cloak and was about to go to the front hall to meet guests, just in time to wipe away the topic that he had slipped out of the mouth just now, Zhou Yu couldn't help feeling annoyed seeing that he had to find another time.

Fortunately, Li Mu was relieved, and he had a solid foundation in his heart.Seeing that Li Mu was about to go out, he murmured slightly: "Huang Chengyan is a well-known scholar in Miannan, his wife Cai Shi and Liu Jingsheng's wife are sisters, if this person came in person in such a cold winter, I'm afraid I can tell you that he is not just here. As a guest. It’s still up to me to meet the guests, and you can listen to them when you arrive in the hall. If there is something that you cannot answer in person, I will ask you to make a decision, and there is room for turning around.”

"That's Liu Biao's brother-in-law..." The background of this is not small, and Li Mu makes sense after thinking about it.It is well known that Sun Ce and Liu Biao had a feud against their father, but Liu Biao's brother-in-law suddenly came looking for her as "Sun Quan" in this cold weather. is trouble.

When they got to the front of the hall, Zhou Yu and Huang Chengyan greeted each other with salutes, while Li Mu sat in the back of the hall silently across the wooden screen as promised, only to hear Huang Chengyan's voice was loud and full of vigor even though he was already quite old. , obviously in good health, braved the cold wind and snow to find the sun, and there is no mental fatigue.

"The old man came here rashly. It was recommended by General Cheng Gan Xingba. There is something I want to ask the general to do." Huang Chengyan thought that he knew that Zhou Yu was busy and didn't have too many greetings.

Gan Ning never returned after his farewell on the river that day. Li Mu was sure that he would come to vote sooner or later, but Zhou Yu was always worried that he would be detained by the Cai family after he returned to Jingzhou. Hearing Gan Ning at this time, he was about to question him. Huang Chengyan He also said: "General Gan wanted to lead the army away a month ago, but at the time when Jingzhou was employing people, Zhou Mu repeatedly persuaded him to stay, and now he is temporarily stationed in Jiangxia to assist Huangzu in attacking and defending against the enemy."

That means he was detained in Jiangxia?Be obedient, Jingzhou has been peaceful for several years and has not experienced any battles. Zhou Yu's trip will only end in Xunyang, at most he only sent a few scouts to investigate in Jiangxia territory, how can he say "defend the enemy".

Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows, thinking quickly in his mind that if he sent out troops as soon as spring came, to meet Gan Ning and break through Jiangxia, what kind of profit would he get?

"If the general intends to send troops to Jiangxia, I may be able to help you a little bit."

Li Mu heard Zhou Yu seem to laugh behind the wooden screen, and then said: "If Yu remembers it right, Huang Lao and that Huang Zu are from the same lineage, and both belong to the Huang family in Jingzhou. If there is any disagreement in normal times , If you say to pass a message for General Gan, I have already appreciated the old man's hard work, and Ruoyan helped me capture Jiangxia... Could it be that Mr. Huang is playing Yu like an ignorant child?"

Huang Chengyan seemed to have known that he would ask this question a long time ago, and he didn't show any hesitation, so he slowly replied: "The general knows Jingzhou very well, and you should also know that the Huang family in Jingzhou is divided into two branches, Jiangxia Huangzu is one, and Jiangxia Huangzu is one. And the old man... is the second. Although there are many children in the family, but the old man is over half a hundred years old and has only one daughter under his knees, who has always been pampered and indulged..."

Hearing this, Li Mu almost thought that Huang Chengyan came in the snow to propose marriage to Zhou Yu and marry his daughter.Guessing Zhou Yu's expression, he couldn't help secretly laughing.

In the front hall, Zhou Yu was indeed a little confused.

He went all the way to Jiang Xia, Huang Zu didn't want to fight, so he chose a woman from the clan to marry him, this matter is normal in normal times.But how can an old father go to propose marriage in person in the snow?

Thinking of Li Mu still listening behind the hall, Zhou Yu couldn't help feeling a little headache again.Last time when Fan Xu sent Sister Qiao, he could still send her directly to her courtyard, but this time... it may not be possible to send another married woman...

"Of course this old man came here to bring a message for General Gan Ning, but in the presence of General Gan, he asked the general...to let the little girl Yueying go home with this old man."

what?

Li Mu and Zhou Yu were caught off guard by Huang Chengyan's sudden change of subject almost at the same time.

Wait... Yueying?Huang Yueying?

Li Mu was the first to react, and finally remembered why she found Huang Chengyan's name so familiar!

Don't learn from Kongming to choose a wife, and get an ugly girl from Acheng.

Isn't this Huang Chengyan Zhuge Liang's future father-in-law Lao Taishan?Back then when she saw the Three Kingdoms and saw that Zhuge Liang had no children for many years, and would rather adopt a stepchild than take a concubine and marry another, she sighed for a while. Later, although she also heard the saying that Zhuge Liang's wife came from a great family and had deep roots, she was shocked. According to this article, Li Mu firmly believes that the two are in harmony and that the husband and wife are on a blind date.

And Huang Chengyan said that he wanted Zhou Yu to let his daughter go home...

Li Mu suddenly thought of Huang Yunlai who was now living alone in the small courtyard next door and whom they suspected to be Huang Zu's daughter.

"So it's Huang Yueying!" Li Mu couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. No wonder there are unofficial stories saying that Zhuge Liang's wooden cow and horse were actually made by his wife. Judging by Huang Yueying's enthusiasm for studying wood carving and arithmetic, maybe this unofficial history is really reliable.

However, if it is said that A Cheng is an ugly girl... Although Huang Yueying is not as good-looking as the Qiao sisters, she has delicate eyebrows and eyes, and is dignified. Except for her slightly dark complexion, she has nothing to do with the word "ugly girl".

It's no wonder that she was seen as a woman in men's clothing, but never thought that Huang Yun was actually Huang Yueying.

In the front hall, Zhou Yu also suddenly came to his senses. It turned out that the one he had withheld was indeed a descendant of the Huang family in Jingzhou, but it was not Huang Zu's daughter, but Huang Chengyan's daughter!

It's no wonder that Huang Zu hasn't been seen for a long time. Although he and Huang Chengyan are of the same clan, the relationship between the two branches of the Huang family has become increasingly tense since Liu Biao entered Jingzhou. Don't say that Huang Chengyan's daughter was detained by Zhou Yu. I'm afraid he had better be It would be good if Huang Chengyan was detained.

"Mr. Huang said before that he could help me capture Jiangxia, so what should I say?" The conversation changed, and since he didn't come to mention marriage, Zhou Yu's tone became calm again.

Huang Chengyan heaved a long sigh: "This old man is clean and doesn't get involved in official affairs. He can't compare to Huang Zu holding a heavy army. But no matter what, he is still a little weak in the clan. In the land of Jiangxia, he can always find two winners." The person who uses it. I just don’t know if the general’s words can be counted in this city of Xunyang, and the little girl needs to return, but do I still need to report and ask for her life?”

He had also inquired about the situation in Xunyang City, and he knew that although Zhou Yu actually controlled the soldiers and horses in this city, it was Sun Quan who took care of the allocation of food and grass, and the determination of taxes and taxes. .

He also knew that if he said this, it would be a bit of Zhou Yu's face, but he was eager to save his daughter, and he didn't want to offend Sun Quan because of his negligence for a while, and what happened to him.

At this moment, a soldier turned out from the back hall, saluted Huang Chengyan first, then bowed to Zhou Yu and said: "Master Quan has an order that the soldiers and horses in the city advance and retreat, and the city defense patrols are all subject to the general's transfer, please general Self-determination, no need to ask for another order."

Zhou Yu hurriedly got up to express his thanks, lowered his head slightly, and covered the corners of his raised lips.

Let's talk about Jiang Xia's war, Li Mu stopped listening, got up and wanted to see Huang Yueying again, and told her to pack her clothes in advance and prepare to go back with her father.

Putting on a cloak, pulling up the hat to cover his head, he was about to turn out from the corridor at the back, and when he lowered his head and walked out, his trouser legs were suddenly grabbed by someone.

"A Shao?" Li Mu couldn't help laughing at Sun Shao, who was dressed thickly under his feet, with snow-white rabbit fur covering his white and tender cheeks, just like a glutinous rice dumpling rolling in the snow.He suddenly changed his mind, squatted down and moved closer to him, touched his hands hidden in the sleeves, and felt warm and soft could not be regarded as cold, so he stuffed his cuffs again with confidence, "Ah Shao doesn't play in the snow Shall I build a snowman with you?"

I don't want the little baby to look at her with her lips pursed, and tilt her head: "Children's fun, what's there to play with?"

Li Mu was amused by his words, and the little baby pouted dissatisfied: "Father always said, to live in the world, you need to act when you are young, and you know it when you are young. If you indulge in playing all day long, you will not be able to achieve great things."

"Is it a big deal?" Li Mu held back his laughter, frowned and thought for a while, thinking that going to see Huang Yueying with her didn't seem like a big deal.

However, the little baby raised her head earnestly, with a serious face.

Such a young child can be easily coaxed, especially after being educated by Sun Ce to be so old-fashioned and cautious in every way.

"Then...don't make a snowman...how about I take you to visit your doctor?" Li Mu finally remembered a place to go and something, and maybe he needed this little doll to help.
