Chapter 274 Stealing the Floating Life for Half a Day (2)(1/2)
A petite figure flashed out from behind the door.
The faint body fragrance came, and Liu Chuang knew the identity of the visitor.
"Big stupid bear, so boring."
Lu Lan walked around, and the bell tied to her ankle made a pleasant sound, "I wanted to scare you, but you discovered it!"
Liu Chuang couldn't help laughing, and reached out to hug Lu Lan in his arms, "Ling, didn't you say you wanted to play Liubo with Dan'er, why did you come here?"
"Dan'er is a fool, she always loses to me and is already asleep."
Lu Lan raised her face with a little proud smile.
She and Xun Dan had a very good relationship, but no matter what, Xun Dan was born from a prominent family and had a fair wife. But she was a concubine, and she was better than Xun Dan in terms of origin and status. Although Lu Lan didn't say much, she always wanted to suppress Xun Dan.
Xun Dan is a little confused, so he naturally cannot think of these things.
But Liu Chuang could more or less notice some of Lu Lan's thoughts, but he did not persuade him.
In my heart, I always feel that I owe Lu Lan a lot. The dignified daughter of Lu Bu can only be a concubine. After all, this is not good after all.
Therefore, sometimes, Lu Lan is a little bitch, and Liu Chuang doesn't take it seriously.
He rubbed Lu Lan's head and pulled her to sit down.
"Big stupid bear, my little mother is pregnant."
"ah?"
When Liu Chuang heard this, he thought it was Diao Chan who was pregnant. But later when he heard Lu Lan say that, he realized that Cao was pregnant. Lu Bu is nearly 50 years old, but there is only one girl under his knees. Now Cao is pregnant, which is a good thing. However, looking at Lu Lan's appearance, he seems a little unhappy.
"Why is the bell so unhappy?
If your wife is pregnant, you will have a younger brother or younger sister in the future. Wouldn’t that be a good thing?”
Lu Lan pouted and refused to answer.
Liu Chuang could vaguely guess Lu Lan’s thoughts.
From childhood to adulthood, Lu Lan has been deeply loved by Lu Bu's family. Whether when Lu Bu is proud or when he is down, his love for Lu Lan has never decreased. But once Lu Bu has a child again, will he still be pampering Lu Lan as he used to? Not to mention that Lu Lan is a married girl, so he must be ignored. This is probably the reason why Lu Lan is most worried and even lost.
Still a childish temper!
Liu Chuang sighed in his heart and hugged Lu Lan in his arms.
He softly comforted Lu Lan and tried all his strength, which finally relieved Lu Lan's mood a lot.
The two of them chatted and whispered all night. By dawn the next day, Liu Chuang made a decision. He would not handle any official duties today. He would accompany Lu Lan and Xun Dan to go out for a trip. He would relax.
Since entering Liao, Liu Chuang's nerves have been tense.
Gongsun, Goguryeo, Fuyu Kingdom...
Enemies from all sides made him feel inexplicably stressed.
The greatest pressure is the urgency of time. Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and at the scheduled time, the war in Liaodong finally ended.
From September to April to western Liaoning.
For seven months, Liu Chuang spent every day in tension.
Fortunately, with the assistance of Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Yan Rou, he would not have been too busy. Otherwise, he would have been unable to hold on. He accompanied Lu Lan and Xun Dan and Du Zhen on a boat on the Shanghai boat and cruised in the Liaodong Bay for a whole day. He returned to Linyu at night.
The relaxation of one day also improved Liu Chuang's spirit a lot.
When he returned home, he went to bed early and then slept until dawn.
At dawn, Liu Chuang woke up.
Looking at Lu Lan who was sleeping beside him, as cute as a begonia sleeping in spring, Liu Chuang couldn't help feeling pity. He sat up from the couch, covered Lu Lan with a quilt, and then put on his clothes to go out. In the sky, a rising sun rose. Liu Chuang faced the sun and practiced the nine transformations of dragons and snakes, and felt extremely comfortable all over. Since he practiced the transformation of dragons and snakes, Liu Chuang found that his progress was getting slower and slower, almost as if he was stagnant.
Originally, he thought he had made a mistake, but no one could ask for advice.
After all, the person who is most familiar with the nine transformations of dragons and snakes is Liu Yong. Liu Yong is not around, let alone, he has only practiced the transformation of dragons and snakes, and is also exploring the changes that follow the transformation of dragons and snakes. It was not until Liu Chuang met Wang Yue that he understood the whole story. After practicing the transformation of dragons and snakes, his qi and blood will be greatly improved. If he wants to make progress, he needs an extremely slow accumulation, and he should not be impatient.
So recently, Liu Chuang started reading some classics of Huang Lao at the suggestion of Wang Yue.
For example, the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic, the Tao Te Ching...
He may not be able to understand a lot of the contents in it, but after reading it repeatedly, he will have a new feeling every time he reads it.
Gradually, Liu Chuang's temperament is also changing.
If the feeling that Liu Chuang gave people before was a kind of violent feeling, then now, he has put away this violent feeling and has become restrained.
After practicing the Nine Changes of Dragon and Snake, Du Zhen had prepared the toiletries for washing up.
After packing up and dressing, Liu Chuang was about to go to the government office, but Pei Wei hurriedly came to report: "The third young master and a few people came to ask for the emperor's uncle."
The third son?
Liu Chuang didn't react at once.
"It's Mr. Ziheng."
"Oh, you mean the third brother."
Liu Chuang suddenly realized that these three young masters were Zhuge Jun.
Since last year, Zhuge Jun has gone to Nanshan Academy to study, and it has been a year since then.
Liu Chuang was busy with war and had no energy to take care of Zhuge Jun's studies. However, when he came back this time, Zhuge Ling mentioned it to him.
Zhuge Jun's talent may not be as outstanding as Zhuge Liang, but he is also an extremely smart person.
Otherwise, after Zhuge Liang's death in history, Zhuge Yizhi was continued by Zhuge Jun... Whether it was Zhuge Jin's children or Zhuge Liang's children, they were adopted by Zhuge Jun one after another. This made Zhuge Yizhi finally continue.
Zhuge Ling said: Zheng Xuan intended to let Zhuge Jun come out for some experience.
The implication is that Zhuge Jun is in the academy and can no longer make any progress.
It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books... It is better to actually experience it than to travel thousands of miles. Zheng Xuan is a person who attaches great importance to experience. Although Zhuge Jun entered the school late, he actually has been studying with Zheng Xuan and Guan Ning, and is now sixteen years old.
If we calculate the age method according to the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhuge Jun is already eighteen.
Liu Chuang originally planned to visit Zheng Xuan in Guzhu City in two days and encircled Zhuge Jun, but he didn't expect that he would come by himself.
"Let Ziheng come to the study to see me."
Liu Chuang thought about it and ordered Pei Wei to go down.
Then, he came to the study and sat down. As soon as he took a sip of water, he heard footsteps outside the house, followed by a tender voice from outside the door, "Ziheng asked to see the emperor."
"San, come in."
Zhuge Jun wore a blue shirt and walked in from outside.
But behind him, there were three people.
When Liu Chuang saw the three people, he couldn't help but be stunned. Because he recognized the three people, it was Xu Shu, Meng Jian and Shi Tao.
"Why is Di Yuan Nao also here?"
Zhuge Jun's size is not as tall as Zhuge Liang.
It is about 175 cm in size and looks a little thin, but it further highlights a hint of elegant scholarly spirit.
Zhuge Jun smiled and went up to meet Liu Chuang, "Brother, we traveled by the teacher's order. But after thinking about it, it would be better to ask for an errand under the brother's account. We also saw the experience. I discussed with the three brothers Yuan Zhiguangyuan and Gongwei, and came to recommend myself with my brother."
Xu Shu bowed, "When he was in Xudu, his mother was taken care of by the emperor's uncle, and then sent her to Guzhu City to treat her well.
My mother often talks to Shu, and you must remember the kindness of the emperor uncle. Xu Shu has been in the academy for a long time. Now he hears that the emperor uncle is short of people, so he is so kind to ask Ziheng to serve the emperor uncle, and ask the emperor uncle to accept it."
It can be seen that Xu Shu and Zhuge Jun have a very good relationship.
This surprised Liu Chuang more or less.
Originally, he recruited Xu Shu and others in the hope of adding several friends to Zhuge Liang. But who would have thought that Zhuge Liang's growth was too amazing, and now Sima Yi is competing with each other, which is far from being comparable to Xu Shu and others. Now Zhuge Liang is the one who can talk to him, most of the people who can talk to him are at the same level as Chen Qun, Chen Jiao, and Sima Yi. In contrast, Xu Shu can no longer keep up with Zhuge Liang's footsteps.
But who would have thought that Xu Shu and Zhuge became friends.
The two are ten years apart, but in other words, Zhuge Jun's vision is far higher than Xu Shu.
He was originally a son of the prominent family of Langya. Later, he followed Zheng Xuan to study. Although he was just a small book boy in Nanshan Academy, he came into contact with all the knowledgeable scholars every day. In addition, he accompanied Liu Chuang along the way, and witnessed Liu Chuang's rise. In terms of vision and knowledge, it is indeed impossible for ordinary people to compare. Even if Xu Shu is ten years older than him, he would not have any difficulty in talking.
This is a child prodigy, perhaps not as good as Zhuge Liang, but he is also a unique person.
Liu Chuang was overjoyed and hurriedly got up to support Xu Shu and the other two.
"Yuan Zhigong Wei Guangyuan is willing to come to help, which is a great blessing for breaking out."
He was short of staff, so Zhuge Jun and the other four came to the door, how could Liu Chuang feel unhappy?
After Zhuge Jun and the other four sat down, they started a chat with Liu Chuang.
Xu Shu said: "Now the emperor's uncle takes over western Liaoning again, which is a great joy.
But if you stop moving forward, you may be in trouble.”
"oh?"
When Liu Chuang heard this, he looked at Xu Shu with interest and said, "I don't know what Yuan Zhi can do to teach me?"
Xu Shu was quite excited inside, and took a deep breath to calm himself down.
To be continued...
