The videos I watched became popular in ancient times

All emperors, generals and ministers had three wives and four concubines, and all of them were romantic.

However, Zhuge Liang was extremely wise and famous throughout his life.

But he only married one woman and was loyal to her all his life. She was Huang Yueying.

Huang Yueying came from a prominent family. She was extremely intelligent and brave.

He has been familiar with military books since childhood, and is well-versed in both civil and military affairs, and is resourceful.

His scheming and talent are comparable to Zhuge Liang, and his mechanical skills are not inferior to Lu Ban.

She is a remarkable woman with a beautiful appearance, extraordinary talent and heroic spirit.

This wise and insightful woman had a turbulent and amazing life.

With her frail body, she left a strong mark on the land of China.

To this day, Xiangyang still retains traces of Huang Yueying's teenage life.

Her statue is worshipped and venerated by millions of tourists, and her story is widely praised by tens of thousands of descendants.

The long river of history is always surging forward, and so many past events are submerged in these silent years.

But there are always some people and some things that will remain in people's memory forever.

"During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Huang Yueying was born into a wealthy family in Xiangfan, Hubei."

"She was a famous talented woman at that time. She was well-versed in military books, and knew astronomy and geography. She was a man of both civil and military skills, and she was resourceful."

"In 197 AD, there was chaos in Guanzhong."

"When the Central Plains was in turmoil, Xiangyang was the place where dignitaries, merchants and scholars from all over the country took refuge."

"In this year, my uncle Zhuge Xuan died of illness in Jingzhou."

"Zhuge Liang, who was only 16 years old, lost his last support, and the Zhuge family also went into decline."

"Unable to help himself, the young Zhuge Liang took his siblings and lived in seclusion in Longzhong, 20 miles outside Xiangyang City, where they built a thatched hut and made a living by farming."

"During this period, the lonely Zhuge Liang traveled around Xiangyang in search of teachers and friends."

"Traveling among mountains and rivers, I have the ambition to help the world and bring peace to the people."

"I studied under Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui, Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan successively."

"I devoted myself to studying the art of war and the art of Qimen Dunjia, hoping to assist the wise ruler and save the country."

"At that time, Zhuge Liang had made some achievements after several years of hard study and had grown into a young talent."

"However, what everyone deeply regrets is that Zhuge Liang, who possesses such outstanding talents, has yet to get married."

"So, at this time, his teacher Huang Chengyan wanted to introduce the ugly girl in his family to Zhuge Liang."

"Zhuge Liang agreed without hesitation, which made many people at that time think that Zhuge Liang was an open-minded gentleman who valued virtue and talent over appearance."

"But throughout history, there have always been many people who feel sorry for Zhuge Liang. As the saying goes, a beautiful woman and a hero are a perfect match made in heaven."

"For example, Jiangdong's Da Qiao and Sun Ce, and Xiao Qiao and Zhou Yu are both passed down as eternal stories."

"In fact, Zhuge Liang seems to have heard a little about the basic situation of Huang Chengyan's daughter."

"So Zhuge Liang agreed to the marriage."

"Besides, what he needs is a virtuous and capable wife, not a beautiful woman from a prominent family."

"So Zhuge Liang agreed to Huang Chengyan's request without hesitation."

"At the tender age of twenty, Zhuge Liang married Huang Yueying, and after marriage, the couple developed a deep affection for each other."

"Soon Zhuge Liang also discovered that his wife Huang Yueying was a man of unparalleled talent and virtue, a wise wife who could give him great help in many ways."

Princess Taiping: Huang Yueying came from a prominent family, was extremely intelligent, and was a heroic and extraordinary woman.

When Huang Yueying was one year old, the Huang family took great pains to hold a lively birthday celebration for her in order to find out her future interests and development direction.

Huang Chengyan held the hand of Huang Yueying, who had just learned to walk, and stood in front of the table full of dazzling items. However, Huang Yueying was not interested in rouge, powder, abacus, brushes, jewelry, etc. Her attention was all on the books.

So she tremblingly picked up a book that was difficult even for many learned people to understand. In this way, Huang Yueying's wisdom and talent were revealed when she was one year old.

Huang Chengyan began to educate Huang Yueying when she was four years old, and personally taught his daughter to read and write, play the piano and paint.

When Huang Yueying was four years old, she had a heavy workload. She had to study in a private school with her cousins ​​in the morning, and then be taught by her father after school.

But, because she is very studious.

So I work tirelessly, enjoy it, and never complain about being tired.

He often has creative ideas and says surprising things.

She also composes couplets fluently with her father Huang Chengyan.

Huang Yueying was very intelligent and eager to learn. She wanted to get to the bottom of everything and had an excellent memory, remembering almost everything she saw.

Spring went and autumn came, the leaves turned green and then yellow, and in the blink of an eye Huang Yueying was nine years old.

When she was nine years old, Huang Yueying was already reading obscure books such as "Han Feizi", "Tao Te Ching", "The Art of War", "Guiguzi", "Lüshi Chunqiu", and "Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art".

She also learned the Qimen and military strategies, which she was very interested in, from Mr. Sima Wei.

She is also a kind-hearted girl who often helps her neighbors with things within her ability.

Huangjiawan has been experiencing a long period of drought and no rain, and the land has dried up and cannot be cultivated.

Seeing her father so worried, Huang Yueying wanted to share his burden.

So she took her maid to investigate, standing on the bank of the Han River, thinking about how to bring the water of the Han River into the fields.

She saw an old farmer drawing water from the river, holding two gourd ladles and pouring water into the bucket alternately.

So she had an idea to connect many gourds together and install a wheel in the middle.

By shaking it in this way, water from low places can continuously flow to high places.

So she immediately called a carpenter, and after repeated ideas, she made the first water-drawing cart in history.

In order to let the villagers better understand how to use it, she went to each village to explain it to the villagers.

Thanks to the advent of the water-pumping truck, Huangjia Bay had a bumper harvest despite the drought.

As a result, water-drawing carts were widely used in Jingzhou area, and Huang Yueying's reputation also spread.

As winter passed and spring came, the years passed, and Huang Yueying grew into a graceful young girl.

She had just passed the age of 15, was tall, intelligent and talented, and possessed a calmness and wisdom rarely seen in a girl of her age.

She doesn't talk much on weekdays, but when she speaks, she speaks eloquently.

Huang Yueying is not only extremely intelligent, but also very dexterous.

The yellow wine she created, Maoluchun, has a fragrant and mellow taste.

Once it came out, it was well received by everyone, and he personally taught them the winemaking techniques and experience.

Since then, Xiangyang Maoluchun, rice wine has spread throughout Jingzhou.

In front there are water wheels, wooden horses, and wooden men who can do works, and in the back there are wine and vinegar making.

With this series of major inventions, the sixteen-year-old Huang Yueying had already become famous in Xiangyang.

However, most people have only heard of him but do not know him.

When Huang Yueying was a teenager, she was forced to marry by her mother, Cai, but she insisted on her own opinion.

Seeing her persistent attitude, her mother could do nothing.

Because she knew her daughter was a very independent person, she stopped forcing her.

Huang Yueying, who was nineteen years old, was already married like other older women.

But she still read, wrote, and studied military tactics every day, immersed in her own world, feeling comfortable and at ease.

At the age of 20, Huang Yueying was a woman of extraordinary intelligence and appearance.

There was a heroic look in her features, and her skin was slightly darker than that of the average woman.

Huang Yueying learned a lot of advanced military books, battle formations and the art of divination from her father and Mr. Shuijing.

She was able to make delicate woodworking machines. The wooden dog that could walk and bark at home, the wooden man that could push the mill, and the wooden horse that could carry things were all made by her.

She is proficient in all the basic skills such as music, chess, calligraphy, painting, tea, poetry and wine.

As for the embroidery and cooking skills that ordinary women learn, although she was not keen on them, she still learned some.

Not outstanding, but able to handle it with ease.

She even learned martial arts for self-defense from the head security guard at home, so one or two ordinary people could not get close to her at all.

She doesn't like makeup and prefers men's clothes. She has devoted all her attention to learning and growing.

She absorbed knowledge eagerly and lived freely and flamboyantly in the turbulent times.

It was also because of Huang Yueying's persistence in her views on marriage that she was able to gain a beautiful lifelong love with Zhuge Liang.

"Zhuge Liang often held a goose feather fan in his hand. He never put it down regardless of wind or rain."

"It turns out that when Zhuge Liang first married Huang Yueying, Huang Yueying gave Zhuge Liang a goose feather fan."

"Huang Yueying explained that her husband is both virtuous and talented, and has great ambitions, but he has a weakness."

"Whenever I talk to my father about world affairs and my own aspirations, I become cheerful and confident."

"But when talking about Cao Cao and Sun Quan, his brows furrowed and he looked very worried."

"I send you a goose feather fan in the hope that you can cover your facial expressions at the right time and never let others know what you are thinking. Only in this way can you achieve great things."

"From then on, Zhuge Liang fought many battles in the south and the north, and he never let go of the feather fan."

"Whether it was the six expeditions to Qishan, borrowing arrows from a straw boat, or the empty city plan, it was a matter of life and death."

"He always waved the feather fan gently, without any disturbance, confident that he would win." "This was not only a prop for him to hide his expression, but also a symbol of his deep longing for his wife."

“So no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, I always keep the fan in my hand.”

"This incident also fully demonstrates Huang Yueying's extraordinary wisdom."

"In the 12th year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying spent the happiest and most comfortable seven years in Longzhong."

"At this time, Cao Cao unified the north and led his victorious army southward, intending to unify the world. The situation in Jingzhou took a sharp turn for the worse."

"Liu Bei, who was staying here, was eager to seek talents. He visited Zhuge Liang three times at his thatched cottage and sincerely asked for strategies to stabilize the country."

"At the age of 27, Zhuge Liang decided to come out of seclusion to assist Liu Bei and put his life's learning to use."

"Due to the turbulent situation, Huang Yueying did not follow Zhuge Liang out of the mountains."

"Instead, I returned to my father Huang Chengyan's home and waited for my husband to accomplish something unprecedented."

"In the 13th year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang was ordered to seek help from the Eastern Wu."

"He facilitated the alliance between Sun and Liu and defeated Cao Cao, who was at the peak of his power."

"At this time, Liu Bei took advantage of the chaos to seize most of the counties in Jingzhou as his base, developing the economy internally and preparing for war externally."

"After the situation became relatively stable, Huang Yueying also came to Jingzhou to accompany her husband and help him solve problems one by one."

"In 221 AD, Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor in Chengdu, and his reign was named Zhangwu."

"Zhuge Liang, who was already forty years old, was the prime minister, the head of all officials."

"Huang Yueying was the prime minister's wife. She took care of her husband and children and managed the household chores, so that Zhuge Liang had no worries."

Shangguan Wan'er: Huang Yueying's scheming and talent can be compared with Zhuge Liang, and her mechanical skills are not inferior to Lu Ban.

Zhuge Liang devoted his entire life to Shu Han during the Northern Expedition against Cao Wei.

Due to the rugged mountain roads, it was very difficult to transport food and fodder for the army.

In order to solve this problem, Zhuge Liang decided to invent a new means of transportation.

One night, Zhuge Liang was pondering in his study, exhausted, but still unable to figure out the secret of grain transportation.

At this time, Huang Yueying came in with tea. Seeing Zhuge Liang studying the winding mountain road at his desk, she asked Zhuge Liang with a little concern if he needed help.

Zhuge Liang then told Huang Yueying that the mountain roads were rugged and difficult to travel, and that grain transportation was difficult.

Huang Yueying slowly took out a calf model from her arms. Although it was not big, it was made entirely of wood and looked very delicate.

Zhuge Liang took it in his hand and looked at it carefully. This little calf could actually walk on the desk.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in my mind, and I praised the lady for her intelligence.

It turned out that Huang Yueying had known Zhuge Liang's difficulties for a long time and had been helping him find a solution.

However, this calf only provided an idea. To make a large wooden ox, all the mechanisms inside had to be remade.

So the couple started making it.

They first made models of cows and horses out of wood, then installed wheels and reins on the models, and finally installed the models on a cart.

After many experiments and improvements, they finally succeeded in making a wooden ox and horse that could walk automatically.

Zhuge Liang deeply admired his wife's wisdom and creativity, and Huang Yueying was proud of being able to help her husband solve difficult problems.

In this way, this seemingly impossible task was finally accomplished.

On a sunny day, Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying personally led a team of soldiers, driving wooden oxen and flowing horses to the front line to transport food.

These magical machines amazed everyone with their unique structure and efficient transportation capabilities.

Along the way, the wooden oxen and flowing horses moved smoothly, as if they were a well-trained team.

They are able to traverse rugged mountain roads and steep valleys, easily delivering large amounts of food to their destinations.

This not only greatly improved the efficiency of food transportation, but also reduced the burden on the soldiers.

When the food arrived at the front line safely, the soldiers cheered and were full of gratitude to Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying.

This successful transportation greatly boosted the morale of the Shu Han army and laid a solid foundation for future wars.

Huang Yueying won the respect of Zhuge Liang with her intelligence and talent, so a person's appearance does not mean anything. Truly capable people are judged by their inner qualities.

If Zhuge Liang had not married Huang Yueying, it would have been difficult for him to solve the difficulties he encountered in the future. Therefore, a good and virtuous wife can be of great help to her husband's family.

With Huang Yueying taking care of the family, Zhuge Liang was able to have no worries and launch consecutive northern expeditions against Cao Wei, leaving a significant mark in history.

"It is worth mentioning that at this time, Zhuge Liang was in a very high position among the ministers."

"But I only have one daughter, Zhuge Guo, and no son."

"For this reason, the virtuous Huang Yueying repeatedly advised Zhuge Liang to take a concubine, but Zhuge Liang always refused on the grounds that he was busy with official duties."

"Zhuge Liang was loyal to Huang Yueying, his like-minded partner and the love of his life, and never let her down."

"In order to relieve his beloved wife of the burden in her heart, Zhuge Liang wrote a letter to his elder brother Zhuge Jin in the Eastern Wu, asking him to adopt his elder brother's second son Zhuge Qiao as his adopted son."

"In this way, Zhuge Liang treated Zhuge Qiao as his own son, cared for him very much, and treated him as the eldest son."

"Just imagine that Zhuge Liang, the prime minister who was second only to the emperor, did not have his own son. His love for him was so deep."

"For the sake of his first wife, he never took a concubine in his entire life. He is truly a role model for all ages!"

"In 234 AD, Zhuge Liang led his last northern expedition, stationing his troops at Wuzhangyuan to confront Sima Yi who was holding his ground."

"At this time, Zhuge Liang was seriously ill due to overwork."

"Before his death, he wrote a famous letter to his son, admonishing him on how to be a good person and how to succeed. His earnest teachings are vividly expressed on the paper."

"He was afraid that his son would not be able to become a pillar of society. In just a few dozen words, Zhuge Liang showed his infinite love and concern for his son."

"Zhuge Liang, a wise minister of his time, passed away at the age of 54 with unfulfilled wishes and infinite regrets."

"When the news reached Chengdu, Huang Yueying looked out at the battlefield in the distance and realized that the person she had been thinking about would never come back."

"Huang Yueying was so sad that she fell ill and soon followed Zhuge Liang."

"Huang Yueying's life is full of legends. Although she was a woman, she had the heart and bearing of a man."

"She clearly possessed a talent that would have made her a master of the world, but she was willing to silently assist Zhuge Liang from behind, giving all the glory to her husband, without any regrets."

"It can be said that Huang Yueying played an indispensable role in Zhuge Liang's success."

"Their love affair is unique and touching."

"Although Huang Yueying was willing to serve as a good wife to her husband, Zhuge Liang never let her down and remained loyal to his wife even when he was at the top of his official career."

"Zhuge Liang was lucky to have his beloved Huang Yueying by his side throughout his life."

"Huang Yueying was Zhuge Liang's friend, confidant and beloved. Two people with the same extraordinary talents came together. This enviable love can be summed up as a confidant's wife."

Empress Changsun: Zhuge Liang's wisdom was extremely brilliant, but his wife Huang Yueying was equally talented.

After Huang Yueying and Zhuge Liang got married, they lived a happy life.

Huang Yueying's talent was comparable to Zhuge Liang's. They shared the same ideals and promoted each other.

When Zhuge Liang was making great achievements, she also helped a lot behind the scenes and was Zhuge Liang's strongest backing.

First, she presented Zhuge Liang with a map of China's mountains and rivers that she had embroidered herself so that Zhuge Liang could become more familiar with the national situation.

Second, a powerful seven-barrel crossbow was made for defending the city.

Third, she knew that the mountain roads in Shu were narrow and difficult to travel.

To this end, she modified the previous wooden horse and created a smaller and more flexible one to transport grain.

Fourth, make a wooden bird based on the bat as a weapon that is more helpful in fighting.

Fifth, she knew that Zhang Fei was a rough man, so she taught Zhang Fei the principles of threading a needle and embroidering.

Let him do things like threading a needle or embroidering, think diligently and thoughtfully, and be meticulous in his rough work, then he can win a victory a thousand miles away.

Sixth, she personally developed a dietary recipe for treating rheumatism.

After repeatedly verifying its effectiveness, he copied the prescription countless times and distributed it for free to the people with his servants.

Seventh, she later disguised herself as a peasant woman and personally inspected farming affairs. She saw that many local people lived in poverty and their farming methods were backward.

She gathered the carpenters in the village and taught them how to make water-drawing carts.

She also took out the recipes of Maoluchun and Achou vinegar that she invented and taught everyone how to brew them, which greatly improved the lives of local people.

After those who had learned the craft returned, some opened wineries, while others specialized in selling Maoluchun and Achou vinegar.

Eighth, she also distributed the mustard seeds she brought from Jingzhou to everyone for widespread planting.

Thanks to her unremitting efforts, Sichuan's agricultural commerce has undergone tremendous changes in just one year.

The lives of the people gradually improved visibly. In order to thank military advisor Zhuge and his wife, the people of Chengdu renamed mustard greens as Zhuge vegetables.

In those years, there was a plate of delicious and appetizing Zhuge cuisine on almost every meal on the dining table of every household in Chengdu.

Ninth, a good marriage was achieved between the housekeeper of Zhuge Mansion and her maid Huan'er.

Tenth, she founded a private school and invited her father Huang Chengyan and Zhuge Liang to teach in the school.

She wanted to save the homeless children who survived the war.

Let them have a place to return to, a school to go to, hot meals to eat and warm clothes to wear.

She herself gave classes three times a week, specializing in agronomy and handicrafts, hoping that the children would be good at both academics as well as farming and handicrafts.

Eleventh, she also gave birth to children for Zhuge Liang and raised them wholeheartedly and cultivated them into talents.

Huang Yueying's far-reaching influence was so profound that even Zhuge Liang, who always conceited himself, felt inferior to her. (End of this chapter)
