Lu Dynasty

Chapter 617
Liu Bei followed Xiaotong into Zhuge Liang's house. He seemed to be very interested in the home of the reclusive sage, so he looked around.Walking to the middle gate, Liu Bei saw a pair of couplets pasted on the door: indifference to clear aspirations, tranquility to reach far.Reading this couplet, Liu Bei felt infinitely moved. He felt that even the hustle and bustle of the world seemed to be forgotten a lot when he came here, and his mood gradually became peaceful.Suddenly, Liu Bei heard someone chanting something. He stood by the door and peeped into the thatched cottage, and saw a young man embracing the stove and hugging his knees, singing in the thatched cottage: "The phoenix soars a thousand feet, and it doesn't rest on a tree; If you are in one side, you will not depend on your master. Music is cultivated in Longmu, and I love my hut; chatting is proud of Qin and Shu, waiting for the right time." To be honest, Zhuge Jun's appearance is in line with Liu Bei's image of a young talent, as for Cui Zhouping, Meng Gongwei, and Shi Guangyuan, although their demeanor and attitude are very extraordinary, and even their knowledge and conversation are admirable, but they all seem to be a little older.If it wasn't for Liu Bei's eagerness to seek talents, he would definitely not admit his mistake!Since Liu Bei mistook Zhuge Jun for Zhuge Liang, he waited for Zhuge Jun to finish singing, and hurriedly went up to him and said, "Mr. Bei Jiumu, I don't have the chance to visit you. Yesterday, because of Bo Yiji's recommendation, I paid my respects to Xianzhuang. .Today we are here in the wind and snow. It is really a blessing to have a good view!"

Zhuge Jun had already followed Zhuge Jin to Luoyang, and he was also studying government affairs with Xi Zhicai. Why did he appear in Wollongong?It turned out that Zhuge Jun had indeed learned a lot from Xi Zhicai, but he was fourteen or fifteen years old after all. He had been dependent on Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang since he was a child. Now he can often see Zhuge Jin, but it is difficult to see Zhuge Liang. Now, he will naturally miss Zhuge Liang, the second brother, and with the arrival of Huang Yueying and Pang Tong, Zhuge Jun wants to know even more, whether Zhuge Liang can also come under my command!But Zhuge Jun didn't dare to say what he meant, but he wanted to find his second brother, so he made an excuse, saying that he had an ancient formation book at home and wanted to go home to get it.Xi Zhi just reported it to me, and I approved it!Of course, when Zhuge Jun went back, I asked the intelligence department to closely protect him to prevent accidents.Zhuge Jun didn't know until he got home that Huang Yueying almost became his second sister-in-law.However, Zhuge Jun didn't complain at all about Huang Yueying's departure. In his opinion, Huang Yueying was indeed talented, but she was definitely not worthy of Zhuge Liang. Huang Yueying's departure was a very self-aware behavior!

After reading the book well, suddenly a person appeared and bowed to the end, Zhuge Jun jumped suddenly, and listened carefully, it turned out that he was looking for Zhuge Liang.Zhuge Jun hurriedly stood up and replied: "Is it possible that the general is Liu Yuzhou, and you want to see my brother?"

"Sir, isn't Wolong?" Liu Bei felt a little cold. This was his second visit, but Zhuge Liang still didn't show up.If they meet, Liu Bei is confident to persuade Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang doesn't even give him a chance to meet, Liu Bei is really worried!

Zhuge Jun looked at Liu Bei and said with a smile: "I am Zhuge Liang's younger brother Zhuge Jun! There are three brothers in my family. The elder brother Zhuge Jin is the deputy to the prime minister at Lu Feng, and Kong Ming is the second brother!"

Liu Bei was dumbfounded when he heard that, Zhuge Liang's elder brother Zhuge Jin was actually my deputy, equivalent to the deputy prime minister!Liu Bei's confidence in inviting Zhuge Liang was hit again!But Liu Bei was never the kind of person who would quit despite difficulties. He smiled and asked, "May I ask if Mr. Wolong is at home today?"

Zhuge Jun smiled and said: "Brother was invited by Cui Zhouping yesterday to go out for a leisurely stroll!"

After hearing Zhuge Jun's words, Liu Bei hated Cui Zhouping a little bit!This unlucky Cui Zhouping, it's fine if he doesn't want to work for him, and it's fine if he doesn't agree with his ideas, why bother to hang out with Kong Ming all the time?It hurts that I can't see him again!But Liu Bei still didn't give up. He smiled and asked, "May I ask where Mr. Wolong went to hang out?"

Zhuge Jun said: "Swim in the rivers and lakes in a small boat, or visit monks and Taoists on the mountains, or find friends in the villages, or play the piano and chess in the cave: unpredictable travels, no one knows where to go."

Looking at Zhuge Jun, Liu Bei was really disheartened, and he sighed, "Is it true that I am so unlucky that I can't meet the great sage twice?"

Zhuge Jun ignored Liu Bei's exclamation. In his opinion, it was a mistake for Zhuge Liang to choose Liu Bei, but Zhuge Jun couldn't be rude to Liu Bei. After chatting with Zhuge Jun for so long, Zhuge Jun remembered to serve him tea, which shows how rude Zhuge Jun is to Liu Bei!Generally, when guests come to the house, they will serve tea first and then chat. Unless they are very familiar guests, they will greet them at the door!
Zhuge Jun wants to keep Liu Bei to drink tea, but Shamoke will quit!Who did Liu Bei drink tea with if he didn't meet Zhuge Liang?Could it be with Zhuge Jun who is still underage?Sha Moke's dissatisfaction with Zhuge Liang increased again. In his opinion, Zhuge Liang knew that Liu Bei was coming to visit, so he should reject all appointments and wait for Liu Bei to come again, but Zhuge Liang went out to play with others, Sha Moke said angrily : "Brother, since that gentleman is not at home, please get on the horse and go back!"

"I'm here, how can I leave without doing anything?" Liu Bei thought to himself, since Zhuge Jun is Zhuge Liang's younger brother, he should know him well, so Liu Bei asked, "I heard that your elder brother, Mr. Wolong, is very familiar with strategy strategy , read the Art of War every day, I wonder if you also know it?"

In fact, Sha Moke's words were in line with Zhuge Jun's mind. Zhuge Jun didn't want to be perfunctory at all, so he shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

When Shamoke heard that the elder brother was not at home and the younger brother didn't know anything, he said angrily, "Brother, what are you asking? The wind and snow are in a hurry, so it's better to go back early!" Liu Bei didn't want to leave, but Shamoke didn't stop. He wanted to leave, he scolded Sha Moke loudly angrily, but Sha Moke had no choice but to shut up.

Seeing this situation, Zhuge Jun smiled at Liu Bei and said, "My brother is not at home, and I dare not stay with the general for long. I will ask my brother to return the gift in a few days!"

Liu Bei knew that what Zhuge Jun said was polite, if Zhuge Liang was willing to return the gift, he would not use it now!Liu Bei said with a smile: "How dare Mr. Labour, I will come back in a few days. I want to borrow a pen and paper to write a letter to Brother Ling to express my hospitality!"

Seeing Liu Bei's chattering, Zhuge Jun was a little impatient.However, Zhuge Jun couldn't refuse Liu Bei. He knew that all this was just Zhuge Liang's temptation to Liu Bei.Liu Bei picked up the pen and paper offered by Zhuge Jun and wrote: "Bei Jiu admired the high name, paid two visits to the Jin Dynasty, and did not return in time, how melancholy it seems! I am secretly thinking about the Miao descendants of the Han Dynasty, talking about the famous nobles, and seeing the imperial mausoleum. The country is destroyed, the heroes are in chaos, the evil party deceives the king, and the heart is broken. Although there is sincerity in helping others, there is no economical strategy. Looking up to Mr. Lu Wang for his kindness and loyalty, he generously displayed Lu Wang's great talent, and gave his son's grand strategy, the world is very lucky We are so lucky! First of all, let’s go to the Buda, and then let’s fast and smoke, especially respect your face, and let your face be contemptuous. Unify the hope and learn from the original!” After finishing writing, Liu Bei handed the letter to Zhuge Jun to put it away, and then went out, Zhuge Jun sent it When Liu Bei went out, Liu Bei repeatedly expressed his ardent intentions to Zhuge Liang to Zhuge Jun!
