Langxing is pregnant.

Although Zhou Mo has three strengths: high intensity, high frequency, and high skill, there are no protective measures these days. This matter is basically a certainty, and there is nothing surprising.

But his wife was pregnant and he was about to become a father, which still lifted Zhou Mo's spirits and made him very happy.

In the lounge of Shangshutai.

After all the high-ranking officials were busy, they were taking a break and chatting over tea. Zhuge Liang noticed that Zhou Mo seemed to be in a particularly good mood today.

After asking, he was very happy to learn the reason and said: "Si Qian, you have been working very hard these days. Take this opportunity to rest. Go back to your hometown in Langzhong to visit relatives."

It has been more than half a year since Zhou Mo married his new wife, but he has not yet returned to his hometown. He has never met his mother or the family head. Even in modern times, this is quite inappropriate, not to mention extremely ethical.

It’s ancient.

Zhou Mo's failure to return before was indeed due to a major event, so reluctance was a reasonable reason. Now that the Prime Minister has let it go, it would be a bit too much to not return.

Just the thought of facing those old guys in the clan and the aunt in the hall made Zhou Mo feel worried.

Zhou Mo's biological mother also died young, but there is still an aunt who is still alive in the family, who is the wife of his late father. The aunt has no children and treats Zhou Mo as her own child, but Zhou Mo still has the best relationship with his biological mother since he was a child. In his eyes, although the aunt is kind and kind,

, very kind, but never as close as a biological mother and child.

Zhou Mo replied to Zhuge Liang: "Compared with the Prime Minister, my hard work is nothing. At least I go home and sleep every day. Prime Minister, you almost live in the palace. You should also pay attention to the balance between work and rest, and go home to accompany your wife more often."

Yes, as long as the wife is happy and takes in a few more concubines at the right time, she will give birth to a big fat boy soon."

After getting to know each other, Zhou Mo knew that Zhuge Liang was also very easy-going in private. Unlike Li Yan who always put on airs, he no longer had any scruples when speaking. In some informal situations, he would often joke around to liven up the atmosphere.

.

Zhuge Liang has been married for many years and is now over 40 years old. However, he has never had any children. In all likelihood, it may be due to his wife's health. However, Zhuge Liang respects his wife extremely, is obsessed with official duties, and does not like women, so he has been slow to marry.

Willing to take a concubine.

In ancient times, giving birth to a son to continue the family life was the most important thing for a family. It was not a problem to keep putting it off, so this matter became Zhuge Liang's heartache.

Hearing Zhou Mo teasing him, Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Si Qian doesn't know something. Zhuo Jing has a gentle personality and is never jealous. In recent days, he often persuades me to take concubines. But I am busy with official duties, so I don't have the time."

If I don't go home, I'm avoiding her, so that when I go back, a bunch of young women will come in and let me choose, chattering, it's so annoying."

Zhou Mo said with a smile: "The good things that ordinary people can only dream of are actually 'very annoying' in the eyes of the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, you can't be so good after getting an advantage!"

"When it comes to having sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, you Zhou Siqian ranks second, and no one in the world dares to rank first. I can't compare to you."

"I know that the Prime Minister is just too lazy to argue with me. If the Prime Minister showed one-tenth of the skills he had when he was sent to Dongwu as an envoy to fight against the Confucian scholars, I, Zhou Mo, would immediately surrender and kneel down to beg for mercy."

Yang Hong, Wang Lian and others heard the two teasing and shook their heads and chuckled. Ever since this young man Zhou Mo came to Shangshutai, he always took the opportunity to liven up the atmosphere, allowing everyone to have a moment of relaxation and happiness despite being tense and busy.

time.

When Zhuge Liang heard Zhou Mo mention the word Soochow, he put away his smile and said seriously: "That's right. I want to send another envoy to Soochow to promote another alliance between Wu and Shu to fight against Cao Wei. I have sent one before

Ding You and Yin Hua went there, but they couldn't convince Sun Quan. Si Qian thinks, who should be sent there this time?"

Zhou Mo thought to himself, I know this question well. Historical records record that Deng Zhi and Deng Bomiao went to Soochow as envoys and contributed to the second alliance between Wu and Shu.

Later, Sun Quan wrote a letter to Zhuge Liang, saying in the letter: "Ding Yuan and Zhang Zhang, the Yin will not be exhausted; only Deng Zhi can unite the two countries."

It can be seen that Deng Zhi and Deng Bomiao are good at talking and doing things, especially because of Sun Quan's temper. If you send him there, you will definitely succeed.

So Zhou Mo said: "What does the Prime Minister think of sending Deng Bomiao, the minister?"

"Si Qian is really smart and can always guess my thoughts accurately. But this time, you only guessed half of it right."

Zhuge Liang smiled and continued: "Originally, I did plan to send Bo Miao there. But then I thought about it, isn't there a more suitable candidate in front of me?"

"Who? Who is more suitable?" Zhou Mo was stunned for a while, and suddenly realized that the person Zhuge Liang was talking about was actually himself.

So he pointed a finger at himself and said slowly: "Is it me?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Exactly. I want you to be the chief envoy and Bo Miao the deputy envoy. You two will go together and go to Soochow together. I wonder what your wishes are?"

"Okay." Zhou Mo was surprised, and a heroic spirit immediately rose in his chest. He smiled and said, "I was just thinking of meeting the famous Sun Shiwan!"

"What is Sun Shiwan?" Zhuge Liang asked in surprise.

"The nickname I gave Sun Quan." Zhou Mo explained. "In the 20th year of Jian'an, Sun Quan personally led an army to besiege Hefei, claiming to be a hundred thousand people. However, he was defeated by Wei general Zhang Liao with 800 cavalry and even returned.

Almost caught alive."

"I've been reading military books recently, and I always lament Sun Quan's use of troops. That was an army of 100,000! How was it defeated by 800 people? It's really puzzling. Even if Zhao Kuo is reincarnated, I'm afraid he won't be able to compare with him.

Biah. So I gave him the nickname Sun Shiwan to show his brilliance and skill in military use!"

Yang Hong and others on the side couldn't stand it any longer and laughed out loud.

Zhuge Liang said seriously: "When you go to Soochow, you must not mention this matter."

Zhou Mo said: "Don't worry, Prime Minister. I, Zhou Mo, still want to come back alive to see my son born, how dare I touch his bad luck?"

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "This time you go back to Langzhong to visit relatives first, and then you don't have to go back to Chengdu. You go directly to Yong'an to meet Deng Zhi, and then they go to Soochow together. All the etiquette, documents, and gifts required for the mission are

It's all taken care of by Bo Miao, so you don't need to worry."

"Follow your orders." Zhou Mo said with cupped hands.

"By the way, Si Qian, I have another personal matter that I need to ask you for." Zhuge Liang said again.

Zhou Mo said: "What's the matter, Prime Minister? As long as I can do it, I will do my best."

Zhuge Liang took out a letter that had been prepared from his sleeve and said: "This is a letter from home. Please go to Soochow and deliver it to your brother Zhuge Jin in person."

Even though it was a private matter, but it was related to Soochow, Zhuge Liang was not willing to avoid talking to his colleagues around him, so he said directly in front of everyone: "My brother Zhuge Jin is an official in Soochow, and now he has three sons. I would like to ask my brother,

Choose one of his sons and adopt him in my name. If my brother agrees, please bring this son back with you when you return from this mission."

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, I will fulfill my mission." Zhou Mo took the letter and put it away carefully.

"Thank you very much."

Zhou Mo rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Prime Minister, even if you adopt a son, you will have to take the concubine sooner or later. After all, it is better to have a son by yourself. Prime Minister, you can't avoid the important and take the easy!"
