The vernacular text of Chapters 37 and 38 of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms (details)

Last time, we talked about Cheng Yu pretending to be Xu Shu’s mother’s handwritten letter to earn money for Xu Shu to go to Xudu. Xu Shu didn’t know what the plan was, so he had to break up with Liu Bei. Before leaving, he recommended the opposition people living in Longzhong to Liu Bei. ——Zhuge Liang. Afterwards, Xu Shu went to Longzhong Wolonggang to mention the matter to Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang said that he had no intention of becoming an official, so Xu Shu had to leave Longzhong and go to Xudu

Xu Shu: "Finally arrived here , Alas, I didn’t want to rely on Cao Cao, but since it was my mother’s wish, I had to do so.”

Xun Yu: “Is this Master Xu Shu?”

< p>Xu Shu: "Ah, I am Xu Shu, and I am here"

Xun Yu: "I am Xun Yu, a counselor under Prime Minister Cao. I am here to welcome Lord Xu Shu on the orders of the Prime Minister."

Xu Shu: "Oh? Thank you, Prime Minister, for taking the trouble."

Xun Yu: "Sir, please, the Prime Minister has been waiting for a long time."

Prime Minister's Mansion

Xun Yu: "That's right here."

Cheng Yu: "May I ask if this is Xu Yuanzhi?"

Xu Shu: "That's right."

Cheng Yu: "Sure enough. I have heard about Yuan Zhi's reputation for a long time. When I saw it today, my lifelong wish was finally fulfilled."

Xu Shu: "I don't dare to take it. Where is Prime Minister Cao?"

Cheng Yu: "The Prime Minister is in the Prime Minister's Mansion, please come here."

Cheng Yu: "Prime Minister, Xu Yuanzhi has arrived. This is Prime Minister Cao."

Xu Shu: "Xu Shu pays homage to the Prime Minister."

Cao Cao: "Oh, Yuan Zhi is finally here! It is really a pity that a wise man like Yuan Zhi succumbs to Liu Bei's tent!"< /p>

Xu Shu: "Where, I just wandered around the world, accidentally came to Xinye, and met Lord Xuande, Prime Minister Cao, where is my mother?"

Cao Cao: "Haha, Yuan Zhi doesn’t need to worry, the mausoleum is within the Xuchang Pavilion. Now that Yuan Zhi has come to Xuchang, he can accompany him day and night to fulfill his filial piety, and Cao can also listen to Yuan Zhi’s wise words day and night.”

Xu Shu: "The Prime Minister has given you too much praise. I have to go to see my mother and ask for the Prime Minister's honor."

Cao Cao: "No problem, you can go now."

Xu Shu: " Thank you, Prime Minister."

Guanyi

Attendant: "Mrs. Xu, Master Xu Yuanzhi is here from Xinye"

Mother Xu: "What, what? Here we come."

Xu Shu: "Mother! The child is unfilial and has caused his mother to suffer so much. The child deserves death."

Xu Shu: "You, wait! Will you come to Xudu?"

Xu Shu: "Isn't this the mother's handwriting calling for the child to come?"

Xu Mu: "When did I write you a letter? ?"

Xu Shu: "Isn't it?"

Xu's mother: "I have never written such a letter to you"

Xu Shu: "What? ! How is it possible? Isn’t this my mother’s handwriting?”

Xu’s mother: “You, you were so easily deceived”

Xu Shu: “I…”

p>

Mother Xu: "I thought you would make some progress after wandering around the world for a few years, but I didn't expect you to become stupider than before! ! "

Xu Shu: "Ah, mother, I..."

Xu's mother: "Since you have read the book of sages, you should also understand that loyalty and filial piety cannot be both! Don't you know that Cao Cao is a traitor who deceives the emperor, and Liu Yuzhou is a benevolent and righteous man in the world? Since you have already served Liu Yuzhou, why did you abandon the bright and the dark and come here to join the national traitors based on such a forged letter? ”

Xu Shu: “Mother, my child, my child is really confused and doesn’t know the truth.”

Xu’s mother: “I, I have no face to meet you again, like you Those who have defiled their ancestors have really lived in this world in vain."

Attendant: "Young Master, this is not good! ! "

Xu Shu: "What? "

Attendant: "Mrs. Xu, she hung herself from the beam in the back hall..."

Xu Shu: "What, what! Mother! ! ”

When later generations learned about this, they were filled with emotion and wrote a speech praising Xu’s mother for her profound understanding of justice:

Wonderful Xu’s mother, her reputation will last forever!

Keeping integrity is not a loss, it is beneficial to the family.

Teach your children in many ways, and live in trouble.

Qi is like an autumn mountain, and righteousness comes from the heart.

Praise Yuzhou and destroy Wei Wu.

Not afraid of the cauldron and wok, not afraid of the sword and axe.

I am afraid that my descendants will humiliate their ancestors.

Following the sword and falling into the same flow, the opportunity is cut off to help others.

Live in the name you deserve and die in the right place.

Wonderful mother Xu, her reputation will last forever!

When Xu's mother died, Xu Shu grieved endlessly and buried her in Nanyuan, Xuchang. Cao Cao also felt deep sympathy and went to pay homage in person. However, Xu Shu hated Cao Cao deeply from then on and would not accept anything Cao Cao gave him. Xu Shu made another solemn oath: Even if he is in Cao Cao's camp from now on, he will never offer a plan or plan for Cao Cao

Prime Minister's Mansion

Cao Cao: "Zhongde, what did you come up with?" It’s not a good idea. Although I have accepted Xu Yuanzhi, it seems that he will not work for me.”

Cheng Yu: “Prime Minister, even so, let Liu Bei have one less adviser. We also took advantage."

Cao Cao: "That makes sense. Having said that, it's time to formulate a plan for the southern expedition to Jingzhou."

Xun Yu: "Prime Minister, It's winter now, so we can't use force. It's not too late to wait until next spring."

Cao Cao: "Well, that's right. Anyway, we just need to wait a few more months. But when it comes to the southern expedition, it's not too late." It’s really time for me to train a navy force of my own.”

At that time, Cao Cao ordered to divert water from the Zhang River to create a pool, named Xuanwu Pool, in which to train the navy for the upcoming southern expedition. Make active pre-war preparations.

The words are divided into two parts. At this time, Liu Bei, because of Xu Shu's advice, decided to go to Longzhong immediately to visit Zhuge Liang

Liu Bei said: "We people, we must be happy today, we people..."

Guan Yu: "Brother, you are really interested."

Zhang Fei: "Really, aren't you just going to visit a villager? Look how happy the elder brother is. It's better than meeting your biological father." "Return"

Liu Bei: "Third brother, don't speak so openly in the future"

The gatekeeper said: "Liu Shijun, there is a gentleman outside the gate of the mansion. He has an extraordinary appearance. The former Come and pay homage to the envoy."

Liu Bei: "Oh? Could it be that Wolong is here in person? Second brother and third brother, come with me to take a look."

Sima Hui: "Hahaha, Xuan Lord De, it’s been a long time.”

Liu Bei: “It’s Mr. Shui Jing”

Sima Hui: “Huh? It seems like you don’t welcome me here.”< /p>

Liu Bei: "Huh? No, no, no, I never meant that...but I have been busy with military affairs recently, and I am really ashamed that I have not been able to visit you."

Sima Hui : "Haha, actually I have nothing to do here today. I just heard that Xu Yuanzhi is here, so I came here to see him."

Liu Bei: "Oh, he is no longer here"

< p>Sima Hui: "What? What's going on?"

Liu Bei: "It seems that Cao Cao imprisoned his mother, so his mother wrote a letter and sent someone here to tell him to go to Xuchang. He has probably arrived now."

Sima Hui: "No, no. This is Cao Cao's plan, and Xu Yuanzhi can't see it."

Liu Bei: "What plan?" "

Sima Hui: "Mrs. Xu has always been virtuous. Even if she was imprisoned by Cao Cao, she would never write a letter asking Yuan Zhi to go to Xuchang. Alas, we are going to be in trouble now."

Liu Bei: "What?"

Sima Hui: "If Yuan Zhi doesn't go, Madam Xu may still be able to save her life. Once Yuan Zhi goes, Madam Xu will definitely die"

Liu Bei: "Huh? How do you say this?"

Sima Hui: "Mrs. Xu is a righteous person. If she learns that Yuan Zhi abandoned the bright and turned to the dark side, she will be ashamed to talk to him again. If we meet each other, then she will only die."

Liu Bei: "That's it. By the way, Mr. Shui Jing, I have something unclear and I want to ask for advice."

Sima. Hui: "What's the matter?"

Liu Bei: "When Yuan Zhi left, he once recommended a man named Zhuge Liang to me. What kind of person is he? Please explain to me in detail. one time.

"

Sima Hui: "Zhuge Liang? , Haha, hahaha, good, good"

Liu Bei: "Mr. Shui Jing, what kind of person is he? "

Sima Hui: "Hahaha, it's true that Xu Yuanzhi left. He just left if he wanted to, but he provoked Wolong to work hard."

Liu Bei: "Why did Mr. This statement? "

Sima Hui: "Since you want to know so much, okay, let me explain. Zhuge Kongming was close friends with Cui Zhouping of Boling, Shi Guangyuan of Yingchuan, Meng Gongwei of Runan, and Xu Yuanzhi. The four of them all focused on purity in their studies, but Kong Ming was able to observe the general outline."

Liu Bei: "Well, so to speak, this Kong Ming is indeed different from others."

Sima Emblem: "Zhuge Kongming once hugged his knees and chanted, and said to the four people: 'With your talents and learning, if you become an official, you can become a governor or a county governor.' The four people asked Kongming what his ambition was, but Kongming smiled and did not answer. He often compares himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi, whose talents are limitless..."

Guan Yu: "Sir, according to what you said, Kong Ming is too arrogant. "

Sima Hui: "Oh? General Guan, what advice do you have? "

Guan Yu: "Guan also studied classics and history, and knew that Guan Zhong and Le Yi were celebrities in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. They were able to dominate the world regardless of their abilities or achievements, but Kong Ming compared himself to these Two people, is that too much? "

Liu Bei: "Second brother, don't talk nonsense"

Sima Hui: "Haha, hahaha, according to me, Zhuge Kongming really shouldn't be compared to these two people. . ”

Guan Yu: “Oh, it turns out that sir thinks so too…”

Sima Hui: “However, I think he should be compared with the other two people”

Guan Yu: "Huh? The other two people? "

Liu Bei: "Excuse me, which two people are they? ”

Sima Hui: “Haha, that is Jiang Taigong, who assisted King Wu in establishing the Zhou Dynasty for 800 years, and Zhang Liang, the Liuhou who assisted Emperor Gaozu in establishing the Han Dynasty for 400 years. Only these two people can compare with Kong Ming! ”

Sima Hui: “By the way, it’s getting late, I think I have to go home”

Liu Bei: “Mr. Shui Jing, wait, I still hope that Mr. Stay, for me..."

Sima Hui: "Haha, hahahaha, okay, okay! Although Wolong got a bright master, it was a pity that he had bad luck! ! pity! pity! ! Hahahaha..."

Liu Bei: "Mr. Shui Jing, he is indeed a reclusive wise man."

The next day, after careful consideration, Liu Bei decided to go to Longzhong to look for him. So, Liu Bei led Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Longzhong

Zhang Fei: "Really, why do I come to this place..."

Liu Bei: "Third brother , please don't be so full of complaints... We are here to visit Daxian, so you should be respectful when you speak. ”

Guan Yu: “Third brother, please be patient for a while.” "

Zhang Fei: "...Damn it...Why...Why do you do such a meaningless thing..."

...

.........

At this time, there were several farmers working in the field...

Farmer: "Ah - (singing) The sky is like a round cover, and the land is like a chess game.

People in the world are divided into black and white, and they compete for honor and disgrace.

Those who are honored will be at peace, while those who are humiliated will be mediocre.

There is a seclusion in Nanyang, but there is not enough sleep and sleep!

…………”

……

Liu Bei: “…Second brother and third brother, listen to…the lyrics sung by that farmer are indeed true. It contains profound meaning..."

Guan Yu: "Yeah. Brother, why don't you go and ask, maybe he knows where Wolong lives..."

Zhang Fei: "...What? Is there any profound meaning? I didn't hear it..."

...

Liu Bei: "Brother, I'm sorry to bother you. May I ask who wrote the song you sang just now...? ”

Farmer: “Oh, you ask about that song, it was taught to us by Mr. Wolong.” "

Liu Bei: "...(It is indeed Wolong...) Then where does Mr. Wolong live? "

Farmer: "Go south from this mountain to Wolonggang. Mr. Wolong lives in a thatched cottage on Wolong Gang. ”

Liu Bei: “Oh, thank you for the advice.

...Second brother, third brother, let’s go! "

...

Farmer: "...Ah - (singing) The sky is like a round cover..."

...

Liu Bei and the others continued to move forward, and after walking not far, they came to Wolong Gang...

Twenty miles west of Xiangyang City, there is a high hill with flowing water.

The high hill is bent by flowing water. Pressing on the roots of the cloud, the flowing water flows over the stone marrow.

It is as powerful as a trapped dragon on a stone, and it looks like a single phoenix in the shade of a pine tree. Can't afford it.

The bamboos are lined with green screens, and the wild flowers are blooming at all times.

The bedside is piled with yellow curls, and there are no white flowers on the bed.

When I knock on the door, I offer fruits to the ape, and the old crane who guards the door listens to the scriptures at night.

The ancient brocade is hidden in the bag, and the sword hangs on the wall.

Mr. Lu Zhong is unique and elegant. Come and work hard in your spare time.

Waiting for the spring thunder to come back from my dream, and a long roar to calm the world.

Liu Bei: "...It is indeed a good place! After all, it is a place where the great sages live in seclusion. The scenery is indeed different from other places..."

Guan Yu: "The thatched cottage in front is where Wolong lives. "

Zhang Fei: "Okay, I'll call the door..."

Liu Bei: "Wait, third brother! If you call the door, it will ruin my big deal... I'd better go. ”

Zhang Fei: “…Oh, I see…”

……

………

Tongzi: "…Who is outside the door? "

Liu Bei: "Oh, excuse me... is this where Mr. Wolong lives? "

Tongzi: "Exactly. I wonder what brings the general here? ”

Liu Bei: “Let’s go and tell your husband that Han Zuo General Yicheng Tinghou led the Yuzhou Muhuang Uncle Liu Bei to come to see you...”

Tong Zi : "I'm sorry, I can't remember these many names..."

Liu Bei: "... (Damn it... this kid is so ignorant, it hurts my heart so much...) Then , in this case, you go and report that Liu Bei is here..."

Tongzi: "My husband went out early this morning. ”

Liu Bei: “……………(You should have told me earlier…) So…where did Mr. go?” "

Tongzi: "That's impossible to say. Sir, he is always missing every time he goes out for fun..."

Liu Bei: "When will Sir come back?" "

Tongzi: "I can't say for sure...it could be three to five days, or more than ten days, it depends on how happy he is..."

Liu Bei: "... ..."

Zhang Fei: "Oh...brother, since we haven't met him yet, let's go back to Xinye first! "

Liu Bei: "...I'd better wait a little longer, in case Mr. comes back suddenly..."

Guan Yu: "Brother, why not go back to Xinye first, and then send someone Come here and ask. "

Liu Bei: "...Well...that's right. ...If your husband comes back, tell him that Liu Bei is visiting. "

Tongzi: "I know. ”

Liu Bei: “Then… let’s go.” "

...

Liu Bei did not meet Zhuge Liang at that time, so he had to embark on the return journey... However, on the way back to Xinye, maybe the scenery in Longzhong is still worth seeing.

p>

Longzhong is indeed a geomantic treasure land. Although the mountains are not high, they are beautiful and elegant; although the water is not deep, it is crystal clear; although the ground is not wide enough, it is flat; although the trees are not large, they are It's very lush... Occasionally, apes and cranes pass by, and there are green pines and green bamboos...

Liu Bei: "Hey, it's a pity that I don't have this blessing and never live in such a feng shui treasure land with beautiful mountains and clear waters... ..."

Guan Yu: "Yes... I really hope that the people living here can match the scenery..."

Zhang Fei: "Brother, look, there is a person over there I'm here. Isn't it Wolong? "

Liu Bei: "...Really, someone is here...Looking at his appearance and attire, it must be Wolong! Come on, follow me and ask. "

......

Liu Bei: "Sir! May I ask, sir, is he Wolong? "

?: "...(Where did you come from...it scared me...) Who is the general? "

Liu Bei: "Oh, I am Liu Bei from Xinye.

(Not to mention such a long story... He said he couldn't remember many names...)"

?: "So you are Liu Shijun... You came here to find me. From Wolong, right? "

Liu Bei: "What? Isn't that right sir? "

?: "I am not Wolong. I am his friend, Boling Cui Zhouping. "

Liu Bei: "...(Cui Zhouping...by the way, Shui Jing mentioned this name...) Oh, I have heard about Mr.'s name for a long time, and I am lucky enough to meet you today... Sir, please sit down here for now. , I want to have a chat with my husband. "

Cui Zhouping: "Okay. ...Why did the envoy want to see Zhuge Kongming? "

Liu Bei: "Oh, the world is in chaos now, and all directions are turbulent. I hope Mr. Kong Ming can teach me the strategy of stabilizing the country..."

Cui Zhouping: "I see... so Sir, with all due respect, your desire to quell the war is indeed benevolent. However, the rule of law has been unpredictable since ancient times. I, the Great Patriarch of the Han Dynasty, killed the White Snake and rose up in rebellion to destroy the ruthless Qin Dynasty. This was a transition from chaos to rule. In the generation of Emperor Ai and Emperor Ping, Wang Mang usurped rebellion. This was a transition from rule to chaos. When I, Emperor Guangwu, revitalized the Han Dynasty and reorganized the Han Dynasty, Jiye, this is another transition from chaos to chaos; it has been two hundred years now, and the people have been stable for a long time, so wars are breaking out. This is another transition from chaos to chaos, and it cannot be pacified quickly. If you want to use Kong Ming's power to turn the world around and repair the universe, I'm afraid it's just a waste of effort. The envoy should also know that the ancients once said: "Those who follow nature will be at ease, and those who go against nature will work hard." I hope you can understand this..."

Liu Bei: "Well, sir, you are indeed very wise...but as a member of the clan, I, Liu Bei, should do my best to revive the Han Dynasty, so how dare I boil everything down? What about destiny? "

Cui Zhouping: "Is this so? ...Then I have no choice. I am a mountain villager, and I should not discuss any major world affairs. Your Majesty, just treat what you said just now as nonsense. "

Liu Bei: "No, what you said is indeed a wise idea. ...Excuse me, sir, do you know where Kong Ming is now? ”

Cui Zhouping: “I don’t know about that. I was just about to go find him.” "

Liu Bei: "Then... I wonder if sir, you are interested in serving as an official? If you are interested, you can follow me to Xinye..."

Cui Zhouping: "I'm really sorry, I'm used to living the life of idle clouds and wild cranes, and I have no intention of pursuing fame. ...I think it’s enough to say goodbye. "

Liu Bei: "...Farewell. "

......

Zhang Fei: "Huh! I didn’t see Kong Ming, but I bumped into this nerd and listened to him talk a lot of useless nonsense..."

Liu Bei: "Third brother, this is also the words of a hermit, so don’t stop. Complained. "

Zhang Fei: "..."

The three of them failed to see Kong Ming at that time, so they returned to Xinye. A few days later...

Soldier: " Report to Ambassador Liu! I have heard clearly that Mr. Wolong has returned to his thatched cottage in Wolonggang. "

Liu Bei: "Really? ...Great, prepare your horses! I want to go there again. ”

Zhang Fei: “… I’m just going to meet a villager, why should I go in person?” I'll send a few people to find him. "

Liu Bei: "Third brother! Haven’t you heard what Mencius said? “Trying to ask a wise man without using the right method is like wanting him to come into a house but closing the door. ’ How many times have I said that Mr. Kong Ming is a great sage in the world, how can we let others call him? I'd better go in person. "

Zhang Fei: "...Okay, I understand..."

...

That day, the sky was covered with snow, and the ground was covered in silver... …

Zhang Fei: “Humph, it’s such a cold day. I don’t want to train my troops well, but I go all the way to meet a guy who doesn’t do any good…”

Liu Bei: "If not, Kong Ming will not understand my sincerity... Third brother, if you are afraid of the cold, go back first. "

Zhang Fei: "...a joke! I'm not even afraid of death, so why should I be afraid of the cold? ”

Liu Bei: “In that case, don’t talk too much and just follow me.” ”

……

…………

Guan Yu: “Brother, look, there is a hotel in front. ”

Zhang Fei: “Great, let’s go in and have a drink with him to warm ourselves up.”

"

Liu Bei: "...Listen, someone is singing loudly in the hotel..."

...

Innkeeper A: "...( Singing) The hero has not yet achieved his fame, and it has been a long time since he has seen the spring!

You don’t see the old man from Donghai saying goodbye to Jing Zhen, so he drove back to marry Prince Wen.

The eight hundred princes did not expect to meet, and the white fish entered the boat and crossed Mengjin.

The battle in Makino was bloody, and the eagle was so powerful that it crowned the military ministers.

I don’t see Gaoyang’s drunkard drafting again, with his long bow and bright mango.

The eloquent talk of kings and dominators is astonishing.

Seventy-two marches eastward to Qi City, and no one in the world can follow him.

The achievements of the two are still like this, who is willing to talk about heroes so far? ..."

Innkeeper B: "Hahaha, okay, okay! In this case, I will also sing a song...

My emperor raised his sword to clear the world, and his business has been established for four hundred years.

Huan Ling's career and virtue declined in the Jiji period, and his treacherous ministers and traitors adjusted the cauldron.

The green snake flew down next to the throne, and saw the demon rainbow descending into the jade hall.

Thieves gather in all directions like ants, and traitors of all generations are like eagles.

We roared and clapped our hands in the air, and came to the village shop to drink village wine.

If you can only take good care of yourself and live in peace for the rest of your life, why do you need an immortal name through the ages! "

Innkeeper A: "Okay, okay, okay! Hahahaha..."

...

......

Liu Bei: "Well... Wolong must be one of these two... …I’ll go in and ask. "

...

In the hotel...

Innkeeper A: "Haha, how about, how about Brother Yu singing another song? ”

Innkeeper B: “Haha, brother, please.” "

...

Liu Bei: "Sorry to bother you..."

Innkeeper A: ""

Liu Bei: " Excuse me...who is Mr. Wolong among you? "

Innkeeper A: "Who is this? What do you want from Wolong? "

Liu Bei: "Oh, I am... I am Liu Bei from Xinye. I heard that Mr. Wolong is a great sage in the world, and he is preparing to go to look for him and ask for advice on how to help the world and bring peace to the people... I don’t know who you are..."

Innkeeper A: "Haha, you have found the wrong person, we are all Not Wolong. My name is Yingchuan Shi Guangyuan. ”

Innkeeper B: “I’m Meng Gongwei from Runan, please give me some advice.” "

Liu Bei: "Oh? (These two people seemed to have been mentioned by Shui Jing...) It turned out to be Mr. Shi and Mr. Meng, whose names I have admired for a long time. I wonder if you two can follow me to Wolong Gang and have a chat with Mr. Wolong? ”

Shi Guangyuan: “I’m sorry, we are all lazy idlers in the mountains and we don’t understand these things that help the people. There is no need for you to ask us.” "

Meng Gongwei: "My lord, you should go find Wolong yourself. ”

Liu Bei: “Is this so?” ...In that case, I take my leave. "

...

Wolonggang Thatched Cottage...

Liu Bei: "...Hello, we are here again..."

< p>Tongzi: "Oh, it turns out it's you three..."

Liu Bei: "Excuse me...is sir at home?" "

Tongzi: "Well, sir is studying in the hall..."

Liu Bei: "Really?" Great, hurry up, take me to see Mr...."

......

..........

Tongzi: "This is the residence of Mr. . "

Liu Bei: "...'Indifferent to clarify one's aspirations, tranquility to reach far'... Was this couplet written by your husband? "

Tongzi: "Exactly. "

Liu Bei: "..."

...

At this time, there was a sound of reading in the hall...

< p>Liu Bei: "Well, this person who studies must be Mr. Wolong... Let me go in and have a look..."

...

I saw a young man sitting there In the thatched cottage, hugging the stove and hugging one's knees...

Liu Bei: "..."

The young man: "...The phoenix soars over thousands of feet, and it cannot rest on a parasol.

The scholar is lying on one side, not relying on his master.

I am happy to cultivate my land in Longmu, and I love my cottage.

Let's talk about taking pride in the piano and writing, waiting for the right time.

..."

Liu Bei: "Mr. ..."

Young man: "..."

Liu Bei: "...Mr. Wolong, Liu Bei has admired him for a long time." However, I have never had the chance to visit you. Last time I came to visit Xiangzhuang because of Xu Yuanzhi’s recommendation, but I didn’t meet Mr.… Today I came here despite the wind and snow. I feel extremely honored to see Mr. Wang’s appearance! "

Young man: "...Oh, I see, you are the Lord Liu Bei who came to see my brother, right? ”

Liu Bei: “Don’t you think... aren’t you Mr. Wolong?” "

Young man: "No... I am Wolong's younger brother, my name is Zhuge Jun." "

Liu Bei: "...I see..."

Zhuge Jun: "We have three brothers. The eldest brother Zhuge Jin, named Ziyu, is now in Jiangdong. Sun Zhongmou served as an official there. My second brother is Kong Ming. "

Liu Bei: "Then... is your brother at home? "

Zhuge Jun: "Well...my second brother went out to play with Cui Zhouping yesterday..."

Liu Bei: "Oh? So where did they go? ”

Zhuge Jun: “It’s impossible to tell... Sometimes he goes boating in rivers and lakes, sometimes he searches for monks in the mountains, sometimes he visits friends in villages, and sometimes he Playing the piano and entertaining yourself in the cave... There is no regular place to go. "

Liu Bei: "...I never expected that my fate is so shallow. I didn't meet the great sage during my two visits..."

Zhang Fei: "Brother, since that Crouching Dragon If you're not at home, go back to the city first! ”

Liu Bei: “No, now that I’m here, how can I leave without a word?” ...Mr. Zhuge Jun, I heard that your brother is well versed in military strategy and military art. Is this true? "

Zhuge Jun: "Well...my second brother has done a lot of things. As for whether he has these things, I don't know..."

Zhang Fei: "Oh, Brother, why are you asking him so much nonsense? The snow is getting heavier and heavier now, so let’s go quickly..."

Liu Bei: "Third brother! Can you just say a few words less? "

Guan Yu: "Third brother, please be quiet. "

Zhang Fei: "... Got it. "

Zhuge Jun: "Liu Shijun, since my brother is not here, I don't dare to stay for a long time. I will go to Xinye to return the favor in the future. "

Liu Bei: "Don't dare, don't dare, how dare you, Mr. Labor... I will come again in a few days. I wonder if I can borrow a pen and paper first. I want to write a letter. Please pass it on to your brother at that time. "

Zhuge Jun: "Okay. Boy, take the Four Treasures of the Study..."

Liu Bei: "Thank you very much. ..."

...

"Bi long admired his high reputation. He paid two visits to the Jin Dynasty and never came back empty-handed. What a feeling of melancholy! Secretly thinking about the Miao descendants of the Han Dynasty, talking about famous people indiscriminately, ambushing the imperial court and mausoleums, destroying the rule of law, causing chaos in the country, and bullying the emperor, and I am heartbroken and courageous. Although there is sincerity to help, there is actually no economic strategy. I look up to Mr. Wang for his kindness and loyalty, and for displaying Lu Wang’s great talent and Shi Zifang’s great strategy. The world is blessed! Sheji is very lucky! First of all, the Budda, and then the fasting and bathing, especially worshiping the noble face, with a look of contempt on his face. Tongxi Jianyuan. "

...

Liu Bei: "... Please pass it on to Mr. Wolong. "

Zhuge Jun: "I understand. "

Liu Bei: "Then... we will say goodbye. ”

Zhuge Jun: “I asked you to move slowly.” "

......

Tongzi: "Sir, the old gentleman is here. "

Zhuge Jun: "Oh? "

Liu Bei: "Old sir? Could it be..."

...

I saw a man wearing a fur hat and fox fur, riding a donkey...

?: "( Singing) The north wind was cold all night, and the clouds were thick and thick.

Snow is floating in the sky, changing the old country.

Looking up at Taixu, I suspect it is a jade dragon fighting.

The scales flew all over the universe in an instant.

Riding a donkey across a small bridge, I sighed that the plum blossoms were thin! "

...

Liu Bei: "Is... is Mr. Wolong here? Great! "

......

?: "Huh? Sir, what are you doing here? ”

Liu Bei: “Mr. Wolong, Liu Bei has been waiting here for a long time!” Please sir..."

Zhuge Jun: "Um...Liu Shijun, this is my second brother's father-in-law..."

Liu Bei: "...is...is that so? ...Oh, I'm so sorry..."

?: "Haha, it seems that this gentleman mistakenly recognized me as my son-in-law..."

Liu Bei: "Really? Great, in that case, I want to take a bath and fast, and then I will visit my husband..."

Liu Bei returned to the house...

Liu Bei: "Well...Okay, ten After the day, we have to..."

Guan Yu: "Well...brother, we have something to tell you. "

Zhang Fei: "Brother, we are still..."

Liu Bei: "? What are you going to say..."
