Chapter 15

"I also said to make him work less on weekdays, but he has never heard of it once!"

The speaker's voice was clear and melodious, and even though it was getting late, he still wore a veiled hat so that his face could not be seen.

Kong Ming's face was slightly embarrassed, and he quickly walked up to him:

"Ma'am! Why did you come so early today?"

Huang Yueying's expression was obscured by the hood covering others, so she said slowly:

"Even if nothing happens, I plan to call you home early... Your old friend came to visit today, and I asked him to leave a greeting card and come back later."

Kong Ming also noticed the famous thorn in Huang Yueying's hand, and took it curiously.

At this time, the famous thorn still used bamboo slips, Kong Ming turned it over, and read out the words written on it softly:
"Engaging in Ma Liang - Asking about daily life - Jichang in Yicheng"

"Is it my husband's old acquaintance?" Huang Yueying was curious.

"No." Kong Ming shook his head and said with a smile, "This person is engaged in the prefecture conquered by Duke Xuande half a year ago. At that time, he was seen to be quick-witted and well-mannered, so I mentioned a few more words. Four months ago, Duke Xuande appointed him to work in Lingling, and now he is probably back."

"That's fine, ma'am, wait a moment, I'll sort out the official documents and go home with you."

In this way, Kong Ming went back to the hall holding the famous thorn and sorted out the documents that he had dealt with today. He solemnly transcribed the words of the light screen on the precious Zuo Bo paper.

After returning home, it was already dark, and before the two had a rest, a servant came to report that Ma Liang had come to visit again.

"Please wait in the side hall." Kong Ming went to the side hall to meet Ma Liang after tidying up his appearance.

Just like the last time we met, Ma Liang is particularly striking because there are dots of white hair between his eyebrows. From a distance, those eyebrows seem to be gray and white. No wonder some people call him white eyebrows.

"Ji Chang still eats, right? How about we talk while eating?"

"Then I will bother you." Ma Liang's face responded as usual, and Kong Ming admired in his heart: he is neither humble nor overbearing, he is a talent.

The food in Zhuge Liang's house is not luxurious, it can only be said to be a little better than simple tea and light rice.

Ma Liang was not very dissatisfied with this, but what Ma Liang didn't expect was that Zhuge Liang's family banquet had a cheerful atmosphere, a son and a daughter were happy and happy, and the supposedly scary Mrs. Huang was also pretty, not as ugly as the rumors said.

It's just that Zhuge Liang's two youngest sons always cast curious eyes on Ma Liang's eyebrows, which made him a little restless.

Kong Ming noticed Ma Liang's expression, and smiled while picking up vegetables for the child: "How did Ji Chang gain from this trip to Lingling?"

When it came to business, Ma Liang's expression became much more natural, and he answered one by one after a little thought. Kong Ming also picked up some of his own experience in handling official affairs to tell Ma Liang, and the two chatted happily for a while.

"The folk customs in Lingling are simple and simple. If Duke Xuande restores the Han Dynasty in the future, I wish to die in Lingling County." Ma Liang sighed, and then told an interesting story: "This time I went to Lingling and also wiped out a group of bandits, and the leader of the bandits claimed to be General Lingling."

"General Lingling?" Kong Ming clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "How's his army going?"

"One rejected horse, three rough horses, fifty civilian husbands, ten pairs of long knives and spears, and half a pair of bamboo board armor." Ma Liang said like a few treasures: "He claims to be the general under Liu Du, the prefect of Lingling."

"It's a pity that when Liang led the army, Liu Taishou was on his side. This person claimed to be under Liu Taishou's tent but did not know Liu Taishou. He was rushed and killed by Liu Xian, the son of the prefect, and then picked him off."

"Liu Taishou wanted to testify to the surrounding villagers that this general of Lingling had never looted or destroyed crops or hurt people's lives, so he recruited him to be the gatekeeper general of Lingling prefect."

"That's fine." Kong Ming nodded and said, "Perhaps it is the best choice to be kind to him. When I go to Lingling next time, I must meet this general who guards the gate."

After the food was over, everyone was almost done eating. The food was removed, and the servants brought the children to the backyard to play. Huang Yueying was still by Kong Ming's side.

At this time, Ma Liang finally talked about the business of this visit: "Liang has a younger brother who has been reading books since he was a child. He aspires to be a marquis on horseback. Recently, he has written many times to beg him. Liang can't help it, so he has the audacity to ask the military advisor. If there is a lack of an errand official in the military advisor's account..."

Kong Ming laughed and said: "Ji Chang is a talented person, Liu Jingzhou is also eager for talents, just come quickly! Tell me his birthplace and name, and I will write a warrant later."

Ma Liang was overjoyed and said, "That's it, thanks to the military advisor, my younger brother is a native of Yicheng, and his name is Su."

Kong Ming wrote down according to his words, Ma Su in Yicheng and Ma Youchang... Ma Di! ?His younger brother Ma Di? !

Ma Liang was overjoyed and didn't notice it, but Huang Yueying could see clearly that her husband tensed up like a bow. The last time I saw him like this was before he went to Jiangdong.

How could Xianggong react so strongly to a name?If it was a great sage, she should have heard of this name, but Huang Yueying was sure that she had never heard of this name before today.

Ma Liang's request was granted, and he left with a warrant in his hand.

Huang Yueying looked at Kong Ming who was standing in a daze at the door, a little worried: "What news did you hear, my husband?"

The dazed Kong Ming seemed to wake up from a dream. He didn't know what to say for a while, and finally sighed: "Madam, it's just that I don't want to talk about it. It's too absurd to talk about."

"Then don't talk about it." Huang Yueying said with a smile: "It won't be too late when my husband thinks about it and wants to talk about it."

Kong Ming shook his head, then cheered up and said: "Let's not talk about these future events, today I got two pictures of novel farm tools, and my wife will help me as a staff."

future?Huang Yueying was puzzled, but her interest was immediately attracted by the novel farm tools that Kong Ming said.

"Novel farm tools?"

"Yes, it is said to be more useful."

"Then what's the use of looking at pictures, why not just go to the field and see for yourself."

"Ah...it is said that it was passed down from Yuzhou...Jizhou, so there are only pictures."

"really?"

"..."

"The concubine will temporarily assume that they are passed down from Jizhou."

……

The night was quiet, but on the martial arts arena of Gong'an County Government, there were still two men as majestic as tigers fighting each other with their upper bodies bare.

The red-faced man grabbed the black-faced man's neck with an elbow as a noose, and shouted, "Third brother, are you convinced yet?"

The black-faced man didn't struggle, he stood firm, and then his upper body muscles were knotted, and the veins in his neck burst out, stretching the red-faced man's arms like muscles!

Then he squatted down on horseback, grabbed the red-faced man's right arm with a "lift", and threw him over his shoulder abruptly.

The red-faced man rolled over and landed firmly on the ground, roaring "Come again!"

Next to the martial arts arena, the two little ones stood side by side, and they whispered boredly:
"Hey, when did you say daddy and uncle are going to fight?"

"I don't know, but it should be over when my father is hungry, right?"

"Hey, but two days ago my father said in his sleep that his uncle was dead."

"Your father just died!"

"My father also said in his dreams that your elder brother was also dead, and he was beheaded together with his uncle. It's so miserable. My father cried loudly in his dreams."

"Zhang Bao! Are you looking for a fight!"

"Guan Xing, take it for granted that I'm afraid you won't make it! It's my father's dream, and it's not me!"

"I think you are in a hurry!"

"I'm afraid you are not the son of Zhang Yide from Yan!"

After saying that, the two children rolled into a ball, fighting with Wang Baquan and crotch-drawing fist.

 I'm a little late today, and I'm delirious after working overtime. Sorry, I'll update it on time tomorrow.
