Huang Yueying gave birth to a daughter three months ago and named Zhuge Guo. Although she was a daughter, she was very cute and loved by Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying.

Two months ago, Dong He, an old acquaintance who was an official in Shuzhong, invited Zhuge Liang to visit Shuzhong. Zhuge Liang was a father for the time being and wanted to accompany his wife and daughter at home.

But Huang Yueying advised her husband to go out for a trip and gain knowledge. Zhuge Liang was invited by Dong He to go to Shuzhong, which has been nearly two months since then.

Huang Yueying loves her daughter very much. She doesn't need a wet nurse and spends time with her daughter day and night. Even if her daughter falls asleep, she will sit by and read books and embroider the flowers and care about her daughter.

The three-month-old child spends most of his time sleeping. In the warm room, Huang Yueying and Tao Zhan sat opposite each other. While chatting, their eyes fell on the bamboo and rattan cradle next to him from time to time. The little guy was sleeping sweetly, with a red face, which was adorable.

Tao Zhan picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I don't understand. Even though I have a child, I feel very fulfilled and busy, and I have to serve my husband. How could you think of me?"

Huang Yueying reached out to tuck the corner of the quilt for the child, stared at her little face for a moment, then replied with a smile: "I think of you, can't do it? I want to share so many interesting things. Besides, I want to find someone to talk to, and some of them are unwilling to listen to, and I don't want to say them to him. After thinking about it, you are the only one. While you are not married yet, hurry up and catch you. When you get married and have the joy of the boudoir, I guess I can't catch you even if you want to."

"What are you talking about, dead guy?"

When Tao Zhan heard her talk about the joy of the boudoir, he felt ashamed, but was afraid of shocking the child, so he had to reach out and gently twist Huang Yueying's hand, and couldn't help but smile and said, "You have the joy of the boudoir yourself!"

Huang Yueying's face suddenly turned red, and she quickly changed the topic, "Tell the truth, how long are you going to stay in Xiangyang this time?"

Tao Zhan thought for a while and said, "To be honest, I don't know. The key is to see how his affairs are handled? But I think at least I will leave after the birthday of the Zhou Mu."

Huang Yueying nodded, and she thought of something again and asked in a low voice: "I heard from my mother that the Zhou Mu had been planning to promise you to Mr. Cong. Is there any news about this matter now?"

When Tao Zhan mentioned this, a hint of hatred suddenly arose in his heart. Her face darkened and he said coldly: "He's just dreaming!"

Tao Zhan’s coldness was not directed at Huang Yueying, but at Liu Biao. This incident has always made her feel resentful. She did not want to see Liu Biao because of this.

Huang Yueying also understood in her heart and smiled and said, "Actually, I want to tell you this, you don't have to take it seriously at all. I heard from my husband that in a few years, chaos in Jingzhou will surely arise. If you really promise you to Mr. Cong, Jingzhou will be in chaos immediately. Zhou Mu also understands it in his heart, so this will not happen again."

Liu Jing also said similar words to Tao Zhan, which reminded Tao Zhan of Liu Jing's trust to him, and then smiled and said, "Let's not talk about these troubles. By the way, did Mr. Kong Ming consider becoming an official? Why don't you think about a solution for him? Isn't the governor of the state? "

"Hey! Don't mention it. The first time I went back to my parents' home after getting married, my father had a good talk with him. He wanted to recommend him a position, but he refused. Later, I asked him, and he said that Jingzhou had no future and did not want to be an official under the governor of the state, so it was judging people's faces."

"Then... do you want to move north?"

Huang Yueying shook her head, "Impossible, my husband will not serve Cao Cao. His ambition is to support the Han Dynasty and revitalize the Han country. How could he surrender to the Cao thief?"

"Isn't the provincial governor the royal family the legitimate lineage and a relative, why can't he assist him?"

Huang Yueying sighed and said, "The governor of the state is old and has no ambition anymore. Unfortunately, both sons are not great talents. My husband is deeply disappointed. This time he went to Shuzhong, I also wanted to see how Liu Zhang did?"

Tao Zhan smiled and said, "I heard from my father that the reputation of the governor of Liuzhou in Yizhou is not very good. Although he has no evil deeds, he is also a mediocre person. Jinglang also said that he could not even tolerate General Gan Ning and could not accomplish anything."

"That's right, my husband's character must be seen with his own eyes before he can make a decision."

Speaking of this, Huang Yueying glanced at Tao Zhan, smiled and said, "You don't want to recruit my Kongming for your future husband!"

Tao Zhan's face turned red. Although she promised to help Liu Jing take the wife's route, she would not hide such a thing. Huang Yueying is her close friend. She always thought that friends could not be scheming, and it was nothing to be honest about it.

"Mr. Xu always recommends Mr. Kong Ming to Jinglang. Originally, Jinglang sent me here today, and he also wanted to visit Mr. Kong Ming casually, but he was not here. But I think if Mr. Kong Ming had no plans to go to Jiangxia at all, it would be embarrassing to meet and recruit him, so I wanted to ask him first to see if there is any possibility. In fact, Jinglang is also looking for talents as if he is thirsty."

Huang Yueying laughed, "It seems that I have led a wolf into the house. You guy actually came with a purpose..."

Speaking of this, Huang Yueying suddenly felt that the use of "inducing the wolf into the house" was inappropriate, which would make Tao Zhan angry. She quickly explained, "I'm just kidding you, don't be angry."

Tao Zhan shook his head gently, "I just want to do something for Jinglang, but I will never hide it from you and deceive you. If you don't want to listen to these words, I will never say it again."

Huang Yueying felt a little unhappy in Tao Zhan's tone. She knew that she had been joking just now. She apologized in her heart, so she held Tao Zhan's hand and said sincerely: "I know you won't lie to me, and I understand your kindness. But I really can't make decisions about my husband's affairs. However, if he has the idea of ​​going to Jiangxia to find a job, I will do my best to make it happen."

Tao Zhan smiled and said, "Actually, Jinglang is also a person with great ambitions. Like Mr. Kong Ming, he also wants to support the Han Dynasty and revitalize the Han Dynasty. I hope they have the opportunity to sit down and have a talk. If they have like-mindedness, then wouldn't it be a good thing for everyone to work together?"

"Well! You're saying something. When your husband comes back, I'll test him. If he really wants to go to Jiangxia, that's the best."

The two of them looked at each other and laughed in a mutual way.

At this time, a maid at the door reported: "Madam, a young man came outside, saying that he wanted to visit the sir, and specially sent a spell."

"Didn't you tell him that sir is not at home?"

"Sayed, he said please pass the assassin to the lady."

Huang Yueying was surprised and got up to take the assassin. She saw that the post was written with Jiangdong and Lu Ji. Tao Zhan also came forward and looked at him, stunned, "Why is it him?"

"You know?"

Tao Zhan nodded, "His uncle is my uncle. I went to my aunt's house last year and met him once. He was an official in Jiangdong, so why did he come to Xiangyang?"

Huang Yueying thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, you accompany me to see this person."

"I don't want to see him!"

Tao Zhan had a lot of resentment towards the Lu family. The Lu family looked down on the Tao family in their bones, which made her feel resentful. Including Lu Ji, he was extremely arrogant to his brother Tao Zheng in Eastern Wu and was simply disdainful. He ignored him even if his brother bowed to him.

Even when he saw him in Xiangyang, Tao Zhan was not happy to meet his old acquaintance in his foreign land, and refused to meet him without hesitation.

Huang Yueying had no choice but to go out quickly. At the gate, she saw a tall young man.

Huang Yueying bowed, "I am the wife of Kong Ming, Mr. Huang. Is it Mr. Lu?"

Lu Ji hurriedly bowed and said, "Lu Ji is here to visit Mr. Kongming in the east of the Yangtze River."

Huang Yueying apologized: "I'm sorry, my husband went to Bashu and has not returned yet, so he has left Mr. Lu empty."

Huang Yueying greeted Lu Ji at the door, but there was no intention of inviting him into the house. Generally speaking, if Zhuge Liang was in Xiangyang, then out of politeness, Huang Yueying should have invited Lu Ji into the house and sit down.

But Zhuge Liang went to another place, and the head of the family had only a mistress. In this case, the male guest could not enter. This was not only politeness, but also a kind of enlightenment as a guest.

Originally, Lu Ji was a relative of Tao Zhan's distant house, so for Tao Zhan, it would be okay to invite Lu Ji into the house with Tao Zhan as accompaniment. But since Tao Zhan is unwilling to receive this favor, there is no need for Huang Yueying to invite him into the mansion.

"Mr. Lu has something to ask my husband, I can tell you."

Lu Ji took out a letter and presented it to Huang Yueying and said with a smile: "I have nothing to do. This letter was sent by my brother Kong Ming to me and ask my wife to pass it to Mr. Kong Ming."

"Thank you, Mr. Lu!" Huang Yueying took the letter.

Lu Ji gave another gift and said goodbye. Huang Yueying kept watching him go away, then went back to the room and smiled and said, "It turned out that my uncle wrote a letter and asked Mr. Lu to bring it."

At this time, the child suddenly started to cry, and the two girls were in a hurry and didn't bother to mention Jiangxia anymore.

Kong Ming's elder brother was Zhuge Jin, who is currently the chief minister of Jiangdong. When he wrote a letter, he naturally persuaded his brothers to serve Jiangdong. Lu Ji wanted to persuade Zhuge Liang again, but Zhuge Liang was not at home, which made him disappointed.

At noon that day, the news that Lumen Academy would jointly establish Jiangxia Academy with Liu Jing spread throughout Longzhong. The generous conditions offered by Jiangxia Academy made everyone excited.

One stone of rice and three thousand coins per month. You should know that Xiangyang only allocates three dou of rice and two hundred coins per month. Jiangxia not only has generous amounts of money and grain, but also provides houses and fertile land, and each person can get 200 acres of fertile land.

The news fell into a deep pool like a huge rock, causing a sensation in the middle of the year. Countless scholars rushed to Lumen Academy to inquire about the news.

It was soon confirmed that the news was true, and more than 100 people who studied and studied through exams will be recruited, regardless of their high or low status, only talent is the only talent. This news soon spread rapidly among the gentry living in Longzhong, especially the eight words "no matter of high or low status, only talent is the only talent is the only talent is the first" brought hope to many people.

But soon, another news came from Longzhong Town, and Xu Shu appeared in Longzhong Town.

At this time, Xu Shu had become the best among the northern aristocrats. When the northern aristocrats were generally coldly treated by Jingzhou, Xu Shu emerged in Jiangxia and became Liu Jing's chief aide, which made countless northern aristocrats sigh and envious.

Xu Shu stood in front of the northern gentry like a huge role model, making Jiangxia a holy place that many northern gentry yearn for.

The momentum of Jiangxia Academy and Xu Shu's appearance in time caused a stir in Longzhong for a while.
