Chapter 137 Huang Yueying
As soon as Ailang came back, Wang Dong came to report to Ailang: "Lord, the negotiations between his subordinates and Liu Biao were very smooth, and the alliance had been reached." Then he presented the text of the alliance to Ailang for a review. Since the alliance was to stamp the seals of the lords of both sides, silk was usually used instead of bamboo slips. There was no paper in this era.
Ailang took the covenant and saw that Liu Biao's seal had been stamped next to the seal he stamped. This way, the covenant officially took effect. He said, "You should keep it." Wang Dong Yingnuo said, and then asked, "Liu Biao will hold a banquet in the governor's mansion tonight. I wonder if the lord..." Ailang waved his hand impatiently and said, "I don't have that time, you can go." Wang Dong bowed and agreed.
Ai Lang suddenly thought: 'The Zhuge family is considered a high-ranking gentry of this era. The people don't know it, but it doesn't mean that the upper class doesn't know it. Maybe Liu Biao has heard of the Zhuge family.' At this moment, he couldn't help but get excited again. He felt that the figure of Zhuge Liang, who seemed to be about to disappear in the fog, became clear again. He immediately said to Wang Dong: "Tonight's banquet, please ask me something..." Wang Dong bowed and asked, "I wonder what the lord is going to inquire about?"
"If you don't have someone named Zhuge Liang, you can do it if you don't have someone surnamed Zhuge. If you find out, come back and tell me."
Wang Dong bowed to the promise.
The backyard of the governor's mansion, let alone ordinary people, even the civil and military ministers of Jingzhou cannot enter and exit at will without Liu Biao's call. However, the Miss Huang, who had taught people to make water trucks in Wolonggang, appeared in the backyard of the governor's mansion, and the journey was unobstructed. The servants and maids they met even saluted her.
Miss Huang walked straight into a very beautiful courtyard in the backyard and entered the hall. Seeing a beautiful young woman sitting on the side of a small table and admiring the flowers, she immediately stepped forward and said, "Yueying greets my aunt." It turned out that the so-called Miss Huang was Huang Yueying. Legend has it that Zhuge Liang's wife is as deep as the sea. Then the beautiful young woman in front of her must be Liu Biao Xuxian's wife Cai. Most people may not know that Huang Yueying's family is not ordinary families. They are in-laws with Liu Biao's family.
Relationships are also the big clan of Jingzhou. In Jingzhou, the tree is deep and deep, and the strength is extraordinary. In fact, some people think that the reason why Zhuge Liang married Huang Yueying was simply to find a position under Liu Biao, but he didn't expect that he would be entangled by Liu Bei and followed Liu Bei. Some people think that the reason why Liu Bei visited Zhuge Liang three times was not just because he was eager to seek talent, and he valued Zhuge Liang's connections in Jingzhou more. As for whether Liu Bei wanted to use this to seize Jingzhou, it was hard to say.
When it comes to the Zhuge family, they are probably more cunning than many families in the world. In history, when Liu Biao and Jiangdong were in the same situation, one served Jiangdong, while the other stayed in Jingzhou and obviously wanted to serve Liu Biao, which really made people doubt it. In fact, this family is just betting on both sides. Whether Jingzhou wins or Jiangdong wins, their Zhuge family can be invincible. However, although the Zhuge family in history is cunning, their vision is still not good enough. Although they bet on both Liu Bei and Jiangdong, they did not bet on the northern forces that finally unified China. In the end, they ended up losing all the money.
When Cai saw Huang Yueying, he immediately showed joy and said, "You have so time to see me today? I heard that you are busy building some water trucks. Have you built it?"
Huang Yueying walked to Cai's side and knelt down, held Cai's hands and smiled, "Auntie said this, it seems like I'm not a director!" Then she took out a small box and put it in front of Cai, and said mysteriously: "This is a small thing I made, especially for my aunt." Cai showed a very interested expression on her face.
Huang Yueying opened the wooden box, and two small and exquisite wooden men immediately took advantage of the situation in front of Cai. Cai couldn't help but exclaim: "What a delicate wooden man!"
Huang Yueying smiled slightly, "The wonderful thing is still behind!" As she said that, she twisted a circular slug next to the wooden box a few times. Something unexpected happened. The two exquisite wooden men actually walked slowly. Although their movements seemed a little clumsy, they were enough to make Cai's eyes wide open in surprise and said in disbelief: "They, can they walk around!? Are they actually living people?!"
Huang Yueying smiled and said, "If it is a real person, then wouldn't I become a witch? These are just dummies who use mechanical skeletons!"
Cai was amazed and looked at the two little dummies walking slowly in front of him, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Yueying, you are so capable, I'm afraid no one in the world is stronger than you!"
Huang Yueying showed a depressed expression and said, "I originally thought that my skills were unmatched, but it was not until I saw that man's masterpiece that I realized that there were people outside the heavens!" Then, he took out two portraits of silk from his arms and opened one of them to Cai: "Auntie, look."
Cai saw a bust of a man drawn on the white silk, with a clear outline of his face, and a pair of sword eyebrows penetrated his temples, and his heroic spirit came to his face. Cai suddenly felt very moved and couldn't help but feel. Her beautiful eyes stared at the man on the silk silk, and the autumn waves rippled. A feeling rose in her heart: If she could spend the night with such a man in this life, she would not have lived in vain in this life!!
"This is a portrait I painted based on Song Bo's description. I heard from Song Bo that it is eighty-point similar, but the temperament is not as good as that person, but there should be no problem using it to recognize people."
Cai joked: "Yueying, do you like this person? You want your aunt to ask your uncle to find this person and marry him?"
Huang Yueying flew on her cheeks and said anxiously: "Nothing is there!"
Cai grabbed Huang Yueying's wrist and smiled, "What else can you be shy in front of my aunt? If you don't tell me honestly, my aunt won't help you!"
Huang Yueying was shy and anxious and said, "No! He is, he is the one who built a very powerful water truck. I just want to ask him for advice!"
Cai asked with a smile, "Really?" Huang Yueying said anxiously, "It's true! I think he should be a general in the Jingzhou Army, so I came to find my aunt and wanted to ask if she had seen this person!"
Cai looked at the portrait in his hand, murmured and said, "If I had seen such a person, I would definitely not forget it."
There was footsteps outside, and then a man's voice came: "Sister."
Cai looked up at the door and saw a handsome man wearing armor, holding a helmet, holding a handsome man with two beards strode in, and said with a smile: "Are you here? Have you finished talking to your lord?" The man nodded and went to Cai. Huang Yueying stood up and saluted respectfully to the man: "Uncle." It turned out that this man was no one else, but was actually the general under Liu Biao, the commander-in-chief of the Jingzhou naval army, Cai Mao.
Cai Mao smiled and looked at Huang Yueying and said, "I thought Yueying was in Nanyang. When did she come back?"
Before Huang Yueying could answer, Cai smiled and said, "Our Yueying grew up and ran back from Nanyang for a man!" Huang Yueying was embarrassed and said anxiously: "Auntie..." Cai showed Cai Mao's portrait in his hand and said, "Look, it's him!" Cai Mao took the portrait and looked at it, and couldn't help but feel moved: "What a heroic man! Our Yueying really has vision!" Huang Yueying only felt a fever all over, and wanted to explain but didn't know how to explain for a while.
Cai said: "I heard from Yueying that he should be a general of the Jingzhou Army. Do you have no impression?" Huang Yueying heard his aunt ask the key point, and couldn't help but put away her shyness and looked at Cai Mao hopefully.
Cai Mao looked at the portrait and thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No. I have never seen this person in my impression. If such a person has ever met, I will definitely not forget it. Maybe he is a low-level officer, so it would not be surprising that I have never seen him."
Huang Yueying hurriedly said: "He is definitely not a low-level officer!"
Cai Mao and Cai looked at Huang Yueying in confusion. Huang Yueying had a fever on her face for no reason and said, "I heard from Song Bo that he was following several people, like his personal soldiers. The leader looked very fierce. That's it." As he said that, he took out another portrait and showed it in front of the two. Cai Mao and Cai looked at it, and saw that they were indeed a very fierce man. They couldn't help but feel palpitations. Cai spat and said angrily: "Who would like this scary look?"
Cai Mao frowned and said, "Are there any personal soldiers? He is at least a general or above! If it were such a person, how could I have never seen him?"
Cai said angrily: "Think about it! That's the person Yueying wants to find!" Huang Yueying looked beautiful and red, but she didn't explain, because she knew that the explanation would definitely attract more joking words, so she simply refused to explain.
Cai Mao smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't have any impression." Then he felt a stir and he hurriedly said, "Maybe this person is not a member of the army. Is it Yueying who made a mistake, maybe he is the son and bodyguard of a big merchant?"
Cai said angrily: "How could those young men look like women?" He paused, "Maybe they are not necessarily from outside. Haven't Lu Bu's envoys and Sun Jian come recently? Did they follow them?" Cai Mao's heart moved and he thought, "I heard from Kuai Liang that he said that the general guarding Wang Dong, the envoy of Lu Bu, was not an ordinary person. Could it be that this person is really this person? But what did he go to Nanyang for? "
Cai immediately said: "Aren't you going to have a banquet tonight? You can take the opportunity to inquire." Cai Mao nodded.
As night fell, the lights came on, Ailang led Dian Wei to wander on the streets of Xiangyang. The night in Xiangyang was very lively, and riddles were hung in many places for passers-by to guess riddles and have fun, and laughter came one after another. Ailang couldn't help but sigh, feeling that Liu Biao was not exactly as useless as history said!
