Zhuge Liang was stunned, was that little boy an orphan without a father and a mother?
Even orphans can read the Analects of Confucius. Xu Jiajun’s school is really thoughtful!
Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang felt his eyes heat up for some reason, and he was so moved that he almost shed tears.
It's great that everyone has books to read, everyone can understand things, and no longer live in panic.
Chief Xu, that’s great!
Xu Yue didn't know tonight that she already had a Du Wei fan whom she had never met before.
Many of the guards Zhao Bei brought were locals from Hejian County. After sending Sun and his party to the inn, Zhao Bei allowed them to go home.
Only his two errand boys were left behind.
"It's getting late today. You guys have a good night's rest. I'll go and report to the leader first. I'll let you know when we have the exact time to meet," Mrs. Gan warned.
Sun Shangxiang nodded, and he, Zhuge Jin and others stayed in the post house for the time being.
There was only Zhuge Liang left, so Zhao Bei asked: "What are Kong Ming's plans next? How about you go with me and my wife to the staff dormitory?"
Zhao Bei had already sent a message to Hejian, and someone had already made arrangements for his residence.
In a private courtyard, the family can finally be reunited for a while, so naturally they are reluctant to separate.
Mrs. Gan couldn't leave Zhuge Liang alone.
Zhuge Liang looked back at his brother Zhuge Jin, who had been unhappy with him ever since he got on the bus, and decided to avoid suspicion.
"Then I'll bother my sister and my husband!"
"You're welcome." Zhao Bei and his wife hugged Zhuge Jin and others and led Zhuge Liang to their residence.
Unexpectedly, someone was already waiting at home.
As soon as the couple walked near the courtyard, they saw orange lights lighting up inside the house and smoke coming from the chimney on the roof.
The couple felt happy and called Zhuge Liang to hurry up. The three of them quickened their pace and rushed into the open courtyard door almost at a trot.
The sounds of children laughing and playing followed.
"Brother, come and judge, it's obvious that I won, Daniel is lying!"
Zhao Adou took off his outer shirt and only wore a thick vest on his body. He combed his hair in buns and his face was full of dissatisfaction.
Standing opposite him, Daniel was dressed in thin clothing, with his cotton coat thrown on the wooden post at his feet, folding his arms and giving a sneer,
"Facts speak louder than words. I'm too lazy to argue with you. I'll let my eldest brother judge!"
Two little dolls who looked exactly the same were sitting side by side on the threshold of the main room, holding hot baked potatoes in their hands.
The brother and sister took a look at the courtyard and took a bite of a pink and glutinous potato. They were not big people, but their eyes were full of light. They seemed to have seen through the little tricks of the two people in the courtyard.
In the kitchen next to it, the adults were busy, and the boy hurriedly walked out with a basin of washed vegetables.
"What's the matter? Why are you two quarreling again? Don't you know how to do me a favor? Those who are lazy will not be allowed to eat anything for a while!"
Zhao Adou was the first to refuse. Roududu's fingers pointed at the two little ones sitting on the threshold.
"There is no work in the Northeast and Pingyuan, so they are not allowed to eat?"
A Jian raised his eyebrows, snorted coldly, picked up a stone on the ground, jumped back and roundhouse kicked, and kicked Zhao Adou's round buttocks with one stone.
"Ouch!" Zhao Adou was hit by a stone and cried out in pain.
Fortunately, the cotton pants are thick enough, otherwise his buttocks would have blossomed.
The three brothers were making a fuss, and the twins sitting on the doorstep were the first to see Zhao Bei and the others trotting in.
The little guy recognizes people and has a very good memory. He shouted to the kitchen in surprise:
"Aunt! Grandma! Grandma Gan and Eunuch Zhao are back!"
"Huh? There is an older brother I don't know!" Xu Dongbei added loudly.
Xu Pingprin stared at his elder brother's handsome face, confused for a while, and then showed an innocent smile.
Who can stand up to a white jade doll that looks like a New Year picture, dressed in plump clothes, and smiling at you?
Zhuge Liang immediately felt that he was being sweetened, and his heart softened into a puddle of water. He unconsciously softened his expression and smiled back at the villain.
When Xu Yue's family, who were busy in the kitchen, came out, Zhao Adou was already acting coquettishly in his mother's arms.
After everything was done, he did not forget to accuse Daniel of cheating and file a complaint with Zhao Bei.
Doesn't Zhao Bei know what kind of temper his own child is?
He gently slapped his son on the buttocks and said, "Stop being naughty. You are the best at bullying. How can you still let others bully you?"
Daniel and Ajian saluted the adults, called for help, and then went into the room to help set the bowls.
Mrs. Gan angrily picked up the coat her son had thrown aside and put it on for him. She asked him to learn more from his two brothers and hurried into the house.
Everyone couldn't help but smile at Zhao Adou who was reluctant to leave, turning back three times with each step and clinging to the lake.
"Leader, Brother Xu, General Wang, Major General, Second Miss."
Zhao Bei and his wife led Zhuge Liang forward, who was a little stunned, and introduced: "This is Zhuge Liang who is highly recommended by Xu Mei. His courtesy name is Kong Ming. He is young and famous all over the world."
"I don't dare." Zhuge Liang shook his head modestly.
He took a deep breath and looked at the family of five in front of him. They were only wearing ordinary people's clothes. Some were holding shovels, some were holding bowls, and some were carrying a kitchen knife and frozen leg of lamb.
Zhuge Liang never expected that his first meeting with his lord would be like this... plain and simple.
He quickly regained his composure, stepped forward and bowed solemnly to the young woman standing in the middle:
"Zhuge Liang, I have admired the name of the leader for a long time. When I come here this time, Liang is willing to join the leader and serve him!"
After that, he bowed very seriously: "Your Majesty, please be enlightened and bow!"
Immediately afterwards, he lifted up his robe and was about to kneel down.
Xu Yue, who suddenly met a famous person, and the other person was a handsome and handsome man, finally turned around from this sloppy first meeting, thrust the spatula into Xu Dalang's hand, wiped her hands on her apron in a hurry, and hurried forward.
Hold the person.
Fortunately, he was fast enough and didn't let the other party kneel down.
"No, no, no, no need for such a big gift. You are willing to come over and help our Xu Jiajun. It's too late for me to thank you. How can I be so embarrassed to accept such a big gift from you!"
I should kneel down and thank you! Xu Yue collapsed in her heart.
Under the light, the woman in front of her had clear eyes, full of sincerity and fear.
A dignified leader can be so courteous and humble to his subordinates!
Zhuge Liang felt hot in his heart, his eyes were red, and he said solemnly: "Liang can serve the Lord in this life, and he will die without regrets!"
"Sir, you are serious. Get up quickly. The hot pot will be ready soon. I know you will be tired and hungry when you come back. We are preparing vegetables and meat with these little boys, and we plan to take care of you."
Hearing Xu Yue's words, Zhuge Liang was so moved that he didn't know what to do.
Seeing that Xu Yue wanted to speak, and fearing that Zhuge Liang would be moved to tears, Mrs. Gan hurriedly stepped forward to change the subject and led Zhuge Liang into the main room to let him calm down.
