Chapter 127: Huang Chengyan's Plan
The young woman with extraordinary temperament and appearance is Huang Chengyan's proud daughter, Huang Yueying.
Mrs. Huang greeted her with a smile, "Honey, is the master back?" Huang Yueying stood up and gave a little blessing, "Father."
Huang Chengyan looked at his daughter and smiled slightly, and sat down. Mrs. Huang and Huang Yueying also sat down.
Huang Yueying skillfully sifted a bowl of tea for her father and held it in front of her with both hands. The green tea and white fingers complemented each other and were pleasing to the eye.
Huang Chengyan took the tea bowl, took a sip of tea, and sighed: "Today I saw an extraordinary person! I thought that kid Kong Ming was very extraordinary, but I didn't expect this person to be even more extraordinary!"
Huang Yueying's expression moved, she didn't say anything, and drank tea quietly. Mrs. Huang asked curiously: "Who did you see today?"
Huang Chengyan brushed his beard and smiled, "This person calls himself a merchant, but I don't think so! How can a merchant have such a demeanor?"
"Have you changed your mind?" Mrs. Huang asked with some advice.
Huang Chengyan smiled and said, "I haven't decided yet! In addition, this matter depends on Yueying's meaning!" The two looked at their daughter. Huang Yueying turned slightly red and said calmly: "Daughter follows the father's arrangement!" Huang Chengyan comforted her, "Daughter, this matter is related to your life, and it cannot be entirely decided by your father! I hope you can like it as a father!" Huang Yueying nodded and said no.
"Oh! Oh, Master!" Mrs. Huang suddenly shouted.
Huang Chengyan, who was drinking tea, was shocked and said angrily: "What are you doing when you are surprised?"
"Master, I, I have asked the matchmaker to go to Zhuge Liang this morning to match him! At this moment, the matchmaker is probably back!" Mrs. Huang said, not daring to look at Huang Chengyan.
Huang Chengyan was shocked, "Why don't you tell me about this?"
Mrs. Huang quickly explained: "The master happened to be not at home. I think there should be no more variables in the matter of choosing people, so..."
Huang Chengyan frowned and said, "Although Zhuge Liang is not at home, his younger brother and servant are both at home. If this matter is done, he will not be taken back!"
Mrs. Huang blamed herself for being anxious.
Huang Chengyan comforted, "Madam, don't blame yourself too much. You are also out of good intentions!" He patted his head, "What should I do about this?"
Huang Yueying said calmly: "Father doesn't have to be too worried! Since he has already told Zhuge Liang that his daughter will marry him!"
Huang Chengyan waved his hand, "That's not possible! It's fine if I haven't met this person. Since I have met this person, I can't make it easy!" After thinking about it, he muttered: "He is going to Wolonggang tomorrow! I'll go with me, and I'll talk about it after I get his true identity!"
Seeing his father like this, Huang Yueying couldn't help but become curious about the person he said and made a decision in her heart.
The next morning, Zhang Lang packed up and prepared to go to Wolonggang. At this moment, the guards came to report and Huang Chengyan came again.
Zhang Lang felt a little surprised and smiled and said, "Why is this old man so diligent? Invite him in!"
A moment later, Huang Chengyan came in with a guard. When he saw Zhang Lang, he clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Young master did a good rest last night?" Zhang Lang replied with a smile, "It's very good! The climate here is pleasant, much more comfortable than my hometown!"
Huang Chengyan took the opportunity to ask, "I don't know where the young master's house is?"
"Chang'an, Guanzhong."
Huang Chengyan was a little surprised, and at the same time he felt that it was right. The surprise was because Huang Chengyan didn't expect that the other party was from such a distance. The reason why he felt that it was right was because Zhang Lang and his followers were so heroic, especially Zhang Lang, who was extremely heroic, had a sharp look like a sword, and had a temperament that made people want to obey. In this way, it is rare for people from Jiangnan to be born, and only the desolate desert in the relationship can give birth to such heroes!
Huang Chengyan quickly guessed Zhang Lang's identity in his heart and had an answer. After getting this answer, he felt that Zhang Lang's purpose for this trip was probably not simple.
These thought activities were only in a moment. Huang Chengyan smiled and said, "I heard that the young master was going to Wolonggang yesterday. I felt that the young master was not familiar with him from afar, so I took the liberty to be a guide for the young master!"
Zhang Lang clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, sir."
Huang Chengyan smiled and said, "No need to delay, let's go."
Zhang Lang nodded.
After a while, the group rode away from the west gate of Nanyang. After leaving the city gate, they walked for several miles and turned from the official road to a mountain path. The road was surrounded by fields and farmers were busy in the fields. A few miles away, a low-high but imposing mountain range lay in front of them like a tiger sitting in the dragon. The path winded to the foot of the mountain and extended into the bamboo forest on the side of the mountain. Looking up, I saw that the pines and cypresses on the mountain stood proudly, and the bamboo forest was green, and there were many wooden buildings and bamboo houses hidden in the shade of the trees. Zhang Lang felt that there was a place where the hermit lived in seclusion.
The group followed the path to the foot of the mountain and winded up the mountain. Not long after walking, a yard leaned against the mountain and surrounded by the bamboo forest, and came into view. Zhang Lang asked with some desire: "Is that where Mr. Zhuge lives?"
Huang Chengyan smiled and shook his head and said, "I'm wrong. The one who lives there is Cui Zhouping, Kong Ming's friend!"
Zhang Lang nodded and continued to move forward.
The group walked on the mountain road for nearly half an hour and encountered five or six courtyards along the way, but they were not Zhuge Liang's residence. He seemed to live in seclusion in the deepest part of Wolonggang. Zhang Lang felt that he was like the biggest boss in the game and couldn't help but smile.
After passing through a pine and cypress forest, my eyes suddenly became clear. This was a valley. A stream flowed down from the hills on the left and winded into the distance. A tea shed opposite was next to the stream and facing the mountain road.
Huang Chengyan pointed to the teahouse opposite and said, "Young Master, I have been walking for more than half an hour. Why not take a break for a while, take a few sips of tea before getting on the road?"
Zhang Lang nodded.
The group came outside the tea shed, and a servant immediately greeted him, "Oh, so many guests came at once! Please, please!"
Huang Chengyan was stunned when he saw the servant, and then returned to normal. He seemed to know the servant.
Everyone got off the horse and went into the tea shed to sit down. Zhang Lang, Huang Chengyan and two other guards sat at the same table, while the others sat around them.
Zhang Lang looked around and felt that although the tea shed was a little simple, it was better to have a quiet environment. Drinking tea here also had a bit of a pleasant mood.
Chapter completed!
