Chapter 540: Couple’s Night Talk
It was already late at night when Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying returned home, but since they had both drunk, they did not feel sleepy. They went to the pavilion in the back garden and sat down hand in hand, drinking tea to sober up and chatting.
Zhuge Liang is busy with state affairs and usually rests at the Prime Minister's Mansion. He rarely returns home to enjoy family happiness with his family, and even less often talks to Huang Yueying alone.
At this moment, the bright moon is high, the stars are twinkling, everything is quiet, the cool breeze is blowing, and she is in a peaceful mood. Huang Yueying looks at her husband's still handsome face infatuatedly, and listens attentively to her husband talking about interesting things in the North, but she feels uncomfortable
There is no greater happiness in the world than this.
However, when she thought about Zhuge Liang's departure soon, the joy in her heart was suddenly dissipated. She silently prayed to the gods in the sky, hoping that time could freeze at this moment forever and that she would never be separated from her husband again.
However, after all, Huang Yueying is not an ordinary woman who only knows the love between her children. Moreover, she is now a grandmother. She is no longer the smart and unrestrained girl she used to be. She quickly put her daughter's mood into order and chatted about family matters with her husband.
.
Although Zhuge Liang devotes 99% of his daily energy to military affairs, Huang Yueying knows that her husband is still very concerned about his family. In order to allow Zhuge Liang to go north with peace of mind, Huang Yueying naturally reports good news rather than bad news when talking about the current situation of his family.
"Zhan'er and Pan'er started learning Chinese characters from their daughter-in-law half a year ago. Both children are very smart and can already recognize dozens of characters. I believe that when they are older, the two children can officially enter school." Huang
Yueying said.
Zhuge Liang nodded slightly: "I'm often not at home, so Mrs. Lao is the one who teaches the children. Now Zhan'er and Pan'er are still young. They can recognize as many words as they can. Don't force them too much. Just let nature take its course.
, after all, precocious intelligence in children is sometimes not necessarily a good thing.”
"As your father and grandfather, you are a world-famous wise man. If your son and grandson are both mediocre in intelligence and mediocre in ability, won't you lose the name of Zhuge family?" Huang Yueying joked with a smile.
Zhuge Liang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Who said people named Zhuge must be smart? As long as they can grow up in peace and happiness, even if they are just ordinary people with mediocre talents, it is not a bad thing."
"Having said that, you are the prime minister of a country after all. If our son and grandson are ineffective, how can we guarantee that others will not laugh at us?"
Zhuge Liang said: "As long as they have good moral character, it doesn't matter if they are mediocre. Alas, you and your daughter-in-law are taking care of the two children, so I'm not worried. But I miss Qiao'er and Guo'er a lot, especially Guo'er. I'm still worried."
I really don’t know how to solve it? Alas!” After saying that, he sighed again.
"Qiao Er is indeed a bit too stubborn sometimes, but this is still your fault, Alang. If you weren't too strict with him, he wouldn't have been so tired of supervising the transportation of food and grass that he coughed up blood. Fortunately, Mingzhi transferred him to Long
As soon as I took office, I got off the job of escorting grain and fodder. Otherwise, if I continue to work, Qiaoer will be seriously ill from exhaustion." Huang Yueying complained.
Zhuge Liang sighed: "Hey, who calls him my son Zhuge Liang?"
"You, Zhuge Kongming's son, have to be more diligent, harder, and overworked than others? It's good for the prime minister's son to set an example for everyone, but he also has to put his health first.
Fortunately, Qiao Er will be raised in time this time and her illness is not too serious. If there is really something wrong, you and I can't bear to say it, and Uncle Soochow can't explain it." Huang Yueying said angrily.
Zhuge Liang quickly apologized: "Yes, yes, what Madam taught me is that everything is wrong for the sake of the husband, and it is all because of the husband's lack of consideration. Anyway, it is not good to always let Qiaoer practice in the rear. Since Mingzhi intends to let him serve on the front line of Yongzhou,
Just leave it to him.
Speaking of which, although the rear area is more difficult, it is not as dangerous as the front line. When we get to Hanzhong, I must give him some instructions and ask him to listen to Ming's arrangements in everything and never act recklessly. He can start from being a captain with peace of mind.
Of course, if you and your daughter-in-law have anything to say to him, you can also write it in a letter, and I will take it to Hanzhong when the time comes."
"Of course a letter has to be written, but after all, it is better to say it face to face. Alas, if Qiaoer had not fallen ill in Hanzhong, he could return to Chengdu with you this time, and the young couple could spend some time together, Qiaoer
My son is going north to take up his post this time, which means he is even further away from Chengdu. I don’t know when the young couple will be able to see each other again." Huang Yueying sighed.
Zhuge Liang said: "Madam, don't worry, as long as the Northern Expedition is successful and the Han Dynasty is rejuvenated, our family will be reunited forever, and I believe that this day will not come too long."
"I hope this day comes soon."
Huang Yueying was silent for a moment, and then said: "By the way, Alang, when you get to Hanzhong, you must tell Qiaoer to take care of himself. Although he is just overworked this time, coughing up blood is not a good thing after all. Let him pay more attention to rest in the future."
"Yes, I will obey my wife's orders." Zhuge Liang bowed his hands and made a joke that teenagers often make.
In recent years, Huang Yueying has rarely seen her husband show off the cheerfulness and liveliness of his youth. She couldn't help but think of the happy times in her hometown in Longzhong. She felt very sweet in her heart, but she still snorted arrogantly on her face and feigned anger: "Speaking of the right relationship.
Not only is Alang no match for my son's care, but he is also no match for Ming Zhi. I heard that Ming Zhi sent someone to bring some precious medicinal materials from the Western Regions after knowing that Qiaoer was ill. Next time I see Ming Zhi, I have to express my gratitude.
People."
"Mingzhi and Qiaoer have always had a very good relationship. They have always treated each other like brothers, so there is no harm in accepting the medicinal materials. There is no need to wait for you to thank me. I am going to Longyou this time when I go north. Wait until I see you.
Just thank him face to face." Zhuge Liang said.
Huang Yueying said: "It's best to do it naturally."
"Oh, Qiao'er is suffering from a physical injury. It will take some time to recover. But how to treat Guo'er's heart disease? As a father, I am really at a loss. I saw Guo'er a few days ago and discovered her temperament.
She is a bit colder than before, do you really want her to practice Taoism and be lonely all her life?" Zhuge Liang said with worry on his face.
Huang Yueying said: "I have been trying every possible way to untie Guo'er, but I still can't untie the knot in her heart. Our daughter looks soft and weak on the outside, but she has a very strong heart. Once she falls into a certain knot, others will
It will be difficult to pull her out."
"Yes, Guo'er is a child with strong opinions. Maybe she can only figure this out by herself. No matter how hard we try, it won't work. Let's just let nature take its course and wait and see. Anyway, Guo'er is at her current age.
It’s not very big.” Zhuge Liang said.
Huang Yueying said: "I'm already over twenty years old. Isn't that too old? If I delay it any longer, I will really become an old girl who can't get married. Huh, speaking of it, the root cause of this matter is all that boy Mingzhi. If it weren't for him,
He won’t be so tired that Guoer’s love is hard to get rid of, this kid is really harmful to others.”
"Madam just said she wanted to thank Mingzhi, why are she blaming him now?" Zhuge Liang said with a smile.
Huang Yueying said: "Humph, it's not like this kid is stirring up emotions everywhere, otherwise our Guo'er wouldn't be so sad that she wants to go to the mountains to practice Taoism. How can we not blame him for this?"
"Well, it can only be said that our daughter is not related to Mingzhi, and Mingzhi handled it quite appropriately. He is really not to blame for this matter.
Although Mingzhi is a rare young hero in the world, there may not be anyone who can compare with him in the country. Madam, if you pay more attention to find a suitable husband for our daughter, if Guoer sees the right one, this complex will not be
Will it disappear on its own?"
Huang Yueying sighed: "It's natural to search for something, but there are a few young talents like Mingzhi in the world."
