The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 46 Zhuge Qiao

When Liu Chan was with Deng Ai every day, he didn't forget Zhuge Qiao.He has sent people to Chunyu Lane to keep an eye on him every day. If he sees that Zhuge Qiao has arrived in Jiangling City, he must report it as soon as possible.

Three days later, the follower finally came to report that Zhuge Qiao had really come to Jingzhou.However, the time was nearly two days later than originally scheduled.This caused Liu Chan to worry about Zhuge Qiao every day, worrying that he would have trouble along the way.

Liu Chan immediately ran to find Deng Ai. After getting into the carriage, Liu Chan mysteriously told Deng Ai that today he was going to take him to meet a man who would become a famous official and even the official prime minister.When Deng Ai heard this, his complexion changed, and the light in his eyes became different.

Liu Chan laughed secretly in his heart that Deng Ai liked to be brave too much, and he just didn't want to lose to anyone!But he was also secretly complacent, if this Deng Ai had no object to compare with, how could he have improved?
Along the way, Liu Chan introduced Zhuge Qiao's life background to Deng Ai in detail, asking him to be more polite to Zhuge Qiao.Later, he said it smoothly, and even told the story of Zhuge Qiao's brother Zhuge Ke.

Deng Ai, however, seemed to be listening to a story, with a smile that was not a smile, and he stammered and asked Liu Chan, did Zhuge Jin, the elder brother of such an elegant man as Zhuge Junshi, really put on a donkey face?

Liu Chan saw that Deng Ai was talking about him on purpose and not mentioning Zhuge Qiao and Zhuge Ke on purpose, obviously he was not convinced, so he just smiled and nodded.In fact, Zhuge Jin himself and Liu Chan himself have never met, but the rumors should be true.

At this time, Liu Chan opened the curtain of the car and found that they were not going in the direction of Zhuge Junshi's house, so he immediately called Zhao Feng to ask.It turned out that Zhuge Qiao arrived in Jiangling City last night, and now he was shopping with Huang Yueying on the street!Liu Chan couldn't help feeling a little annoyed, and said angrily, "Since Zhuge Qiao came last night, why didn't you report immediately? What did I tell you?!"

Zhao Feng's face turned red immediately, and he said, "My lord, I did tell you last night. But you just groaned, and then fell asleep again..."

Only then did Liu Chan realize that it was his mistake, and his face turned red, but Deng Ai's exaggerated laughter came from behind him.Liu Chan turned his head and gave Deng Ai a hard look. Deng Ai had no choice but to cover his mouth, but continued to laugh softly.Liu Chan felt that he was really ashamed, and said forcefully: "Then why didn't you remind me this morning?!"

Zhao Feng said extremely wronged: "But, you didn't wake up until noon this morning? How can I tell you..."

"Hahahaha..." Deng Ai finally couldn't help laughing.

After the carriage came to Chengnan Street, it stopped.

There were quite a lot of people on the street, apparently because Jiangling City hadn't experienced any more wars during this period of time, so people's livelihood had recovered.

Under Zhao Feng's guidance, the two of them saw a few people standing in a store—a lady covered with a light veil and a servant were just shopping, and the servant was already carrying a bag in his hand. There are few things, and there is a handsome young man standing next to him, each of them is a head taller than the lady.

He was wearing a white shirt, he looked three years and four years older than Liu Chan, his height was about the same as Deng Ai, a head taller than Liu Chan, and he was very thin. Thoughts.

Zhao Feng told Liu Chan and Deng Ai that the wife was Huang Yueying, Mrs. Zhuge, and the young man was Zhuge Qiao.Liu Chan was overjoyed, so he asked Deng Ai to meet Mrs. Zhuge's mother and son together.But because they were too excited, before Liu Chan's people came to Huang Yueying, they couldn't help shouting: "Madam, Madam..."

Huang Yueying turned her head and looked back, and found that Liu Chan was waving to her while running.He gently put down the things in his hand, waited until Liu Chan came to his side, and then saluted Liu Chan gracefully.It turned out that Mrs. Zhuge knew Liu Chan, and asked politely: "Why is your son running so anxiously?" Her voice was actually not unpleasant.

Liu Chan and Deng Ai hurriedly returned the salute, then pointed to the young man beside Mrs. Zhuge and asked, "Is he Zhuge Qiao from Soochow?"

Huang Yueying nodded and said: "That's right. A Qiao just arrived in Jiangling City last night. I didn't expect you to get the news so soon."

When Liu Chan heard Huang Yueying's words, he couldn't help but feel a little proud.If he himself hadn't slept so badly last night, maybe he would really have run to knock on the door of Zhuge Junshi's house in the middle of the night.

Huang Yueying beckoned to Zhuge Qiao and asked him to come and salute the young master Liu Chan.Only then did Liu Chan realize that Zhuge Qiao was also looking at his future lord!A pair of big eyes are full of curious light.

Zhuge Qiao stepped forward and bowed to Liu Chan.Liu Chan supported Zhuge Qiao, telling him not to be too polite, because everyone is his own, so there is no need to be too formal.Moreover, Liu Chan found that Zhuge Qiao's hands were held in his hands, and there was not much flesh at all to the touch. This person's body is obviously not very good!In fact, doesn't his own body look very thin?

Liu Chan couldn't help but start to worry, with Zhuge Qiao's body, it's hard to say whether he can live beyond 20 years old in such an era of underdeveloped medical care!It seems that he was too pampered in the home of his biological parents.Liu Chan immediately decided that he must train Zhuge Qiao's physical fitness in the future!

Then, Liu Chan introduced Deng Ai to Zhuge Qiao.Zhuge Qiao raised his head to look at Deng Ai, a young man who was 7 years older than him but unexpectedly mature, and couldn't help frowning because he saw Deng Ai's indifferent gaze looking at him.

Seeing that the two of them just stood like this and didn't speak, Liu Chan felt a little embarrassed, so he pushed Deng Ai secretly.I don't want to, but Deng Ai seemed ignorant and didn't make a sound, which really made Liu Chan very angry.

However, Zhuge Qiao is more educated and more aware of facial expressions.He had already seen Liu Chan's embarrassment, so he put away his rivalry with Deng Ai, bowed his hands to Deng Ai and said, "I'm Zhuge Qiao, I've met Brother Deng."

Seeing that Deng Ai still seemed to have no intention of returning the salute, Liu Chan was a little annoyed, and couldn't help but secretly lifted his foot and stomped on Deng Ai's foot.Deng Ai is a guy who wants to save face. Although he felt pain in his feet, he held back and didn't cry out.

Huang Yueying, who was at the side, saw the behavior of these three people was really interesting, couldn't help but let out a soft laugh, but inadvertently made Deng Ai's scorched face feel a little feverish.He had no choice but to return the salute to Zhuge Qiao: "I am...Deng Ai."

Liu Chan saw that Deng Ai spoke a little rudely, and knew that he was trying his best to cover up his stuttering with short sentences, not to mention that he had this kind of virtue, and he was not very polite when talking to him.But careful people like Zhuge Qiao and Mrs. Zhuge must have heard that Deng Ai stuttered, and saw that Zhuge Qiao nodded thoughtfully and walked back to Mrs. Zhuge.

At this time, there was a quarrel from a roadside stall not far away.It turned out that two people in the grocery store were arguing.Out of curiosity, Liu Chan asked everyone to go and have a look.

It turned out that these two people were selling soy sauce in partnership. Because of disagreement, they planned to split up the remaining ten catties of soy sauce in the soy sauce bucket and then they were arguing about the uneven distribution.

After Liu Chan heard them quarreling for a while, he couldn't help laughing. The two of them came out to sell soy sauce and were able to sell it to the scale and it was stolen.Well now, how do we divide without a scale?However, when he knew that they had a soy sauce gourd that could hold 3 catties and a crock pot that could hold 7 catties, Liu Chan suddenly understood how to divide them?This is a piece of cake in mathematics!

As the quarrel intensified, more and more people came to watch. Liu Chan was afraid that the assassination of Sun Shangxiang would happen again, so he immediately asked the guards to surround himself and prevent anyone from approaching, especially no one approaching. Huang Yueying.Seeing Liu Chan being so careful, Huang Yueying felt grateful in her heart.

At this time, Liu Chan carefully noticed that Deng Ai and Zhuge Qiao each glanced at each other, and then bowed their heads in thought.It seems that the two have begun to rival each other.Then, Liu Chan saw an acquaintance in the crowd, and asked Zhao Feng to bring that person over.

When the man saw Liu Chan, he smiled and said, "Little brother, so you are here too."

This person is actually Mr. Zhang Xing's disciple, the Wang Yu who was later recruited by Zu Wen to study arithmetic at the National Academy of Medicine, whose name is Changfei, is 26 years old this year.

Liu Chan wanted to test Wang Yu, and asked, "Senior Brother Wang, how do you think these two should be divided?"

Seeing that Liu Chan was testing himself, Wang Yu smiled slightly, but in fact he already had the answer, so he was going to stop the two quarreling people.Deng Ai and Zhuge Qiao called Wang Yu to stop at the same time, they had already thought of it.Liu Chan was also a little surprised to see that the two of them made up their mind so quickly, and asked Wang Yu to come back.

Deng Ai was eager and strong. He rushed into the arena first, and stammered: "You, don't make a fuss, don't quarrel. First, use gourds to connect... three times, a total of 9 catties..."

Seeing that Deng Ai has a big tongue, everyone laughed.Seeing Deng Ai's embarrassed expression, Liu Chan knew that those who laughed at him hurt his self-esteem, so he immediately asked Zhao Feng to order them not to laugh anymore, otherwise they would be driven away immediately.

Deng Ai couldn't help but looked at Liu Chan gratefully.However, after Deng Ai stopped, he gave Zhuge Qiao a chance, and immediately went up and said, "Bosses, if you fill up the 7-jin earthen pot, there will be 2 catties left in the gourd."

Wang Yu also suddenly became interested, and said in the crowd: "Then put the 7 catties of the earthen pot into the soy sauce barrel, and then the soy sauce barrel contains 8 catties of soy sauce."

Liu Chan felt that if he didn't intervene at this time, he would definitely be looked down upon by Deng Ai and Zhuge Qiao in the future. Wouldn't his own words have no weight in the future?As for Wang Yu, he wasn't worried at all. Although this guy called him junior, he always came to listen to his lectures.

Liu Chan also said loudly: "Then pour all the 2 catties of soy sauce in the soy sauce gourd into the earthen jar. Finally, fill the soy sauce barrel with the empty gourd and pour it into the earthen jar. In this way, the remaining soy sauce in the soy sauce barrel and the earthen jar The soy sauce in the box is exactly 5 catties. The two parties each share one, and it happens that everyone gets exactly the same amount."

There was applause from the crowd of onlookers, and someone was heard asking, who are these people.In fact, many people in Jiangling recognized Liu Chan and exclaimed, "That kid is Adou, Liu Adou with seven stars on his feet..." Then, the crowd all gathered around, as if the local giant panda was on display.

Liu Chan quickly asked the guards to clear the way for him, and led everyone to quickly escape from the place of right and wrong.
