Zhuge Liang's story

The story of eating melons and keeping seeds

Zhuge Liang can not only grow crops well, but also grow watermelons with one hand. There used to be a rule in Xiangyang that when you entered the watermelon garden, you can eat enough melons, but you can't take them away. Legend has it that this "rule" was also asked by Ge Liang to stay.

The watermelon planted by Zhuge Liang is big, sweet and sour. Anyone who comes to Longzhong as a guest and passes by must go to Guayuan to have a full meal. The old farmers around him came to learn from him the experience of growing melons. He told them unreservedly that melons should be planted in sand and smeared with sesame cakes or sesame oil. Many people came to him for melon seeds, because they didn't pay attention to keeping them before, so many people had to go home disappointed. The next year, the watermelon garden opened again. He put a sign in the ground that said, "Eat the melon well and leave the melon seeds."

Zhuge Liang washed and dried melon seeds and distributed them to nearby melon farmers. At present, watermelons in Hu Jiajia, Changfeng and Xiaofuzhou on the sandy land on both sides of Hanshui River are still very famous, with big head, thin skin and sweet taste. Some places still abide by the old rule of "eat melons and keep seeds".

Clever calculation of the story of saving future generations

Whether this matter is true or not cannot be verified. Judging from the record, it is still possible.

Legend has it that Zhuge Liang said to his descendants before he died: "After I die, one of you will be killed in the future. At that time, you had demolished the house, and there was a paper bag in the wall. There are remedial measures. "

After Zhuge Liang died, Sima Qian became emperor. He learned that there was a general in the imperial court who was a descendant of Zhuge Liang, so he wanted to ask him to treat the disease. One day, Sima 0 made an excuse and sentenced the general to death. In the golden palace, Sima asked, "What did your grandfather say before he died?" The general told Zhuge Liang in detail. Hearing this, Sima 0 ordered the soldiers to tear down the house and take out the paper bag. I saw a letter in a paper bag, which said "Open in case of emperor". The soldiers handed the letter to 0, 0 and opened it, only to find that it said, "Take three steps back after the visit." 0 immediately stand up and take three steps back. As soon as he stood firm, he heard a "click" and a piece of jade fell from the roof directly above the dragon case. Smash the tables and chairs into pieces. 0 scared out in a cold sweat. On the other hand, looking at the back of the letter, it says, "I saved your life, please let my descendants live." After reading this letter, I secretly admire Zhuge Liang's ingenuity. Later, he was reinstated as a general.

The story of gossip clothes

In the drama and pictures, Zhuge Liang dressed in gossip clothes, strategized and won thousands of miles. According to folklore, Zhuge Liang's gossip clothes were given to him by his studious wife.

Zhuge Liang studied under Mr. Si Mahui, a water mirror, when he was a teenager. Zhuge Liang studied hard and used his head diligently. Not only Sima Caode appreciates him, but also Sima's wife values him very much. They all like this studious and brainy boy. At that time, there were no clocks, and time was recorded by sundials. There is no sun on rainy days. Time is not easy to grasp. In order to record time, Si Mahui trained cock to crow on time by feeding regularly. Zhuge Liang is gifted and intelligent. Mr. Sima knows what he says as he pleases, and can't help but understand his thirst for knowledge. In order to learn more, he wanted Mr. Wang to extend the lecture time, but Mr. Wang always relied on the cock crow, so Zhuge Liang thought: If the cock crow time is extended, Mr. Wang's lecture time will be extended. So he brought some food in his pocket when he went to school. It is estimated that when the chicken is about to crow, he will feed it some food, and the chicken will not crow when it is full.

After a while, Mr. Sima wanted to know why the chicken didn't crow on time. Careful observation shows that Zhuge Liang fed the chickens when they crowed. When teacher Sima was in class, he asked the students why chickens didn't crow on time. Other students are at a loss. Zhuge Liang knew it in his heart, but he was an honest man, so he truthfully reported to Teacher Sima about feeding chickens when they crowed, so as to prolong the teacher's teaching time. Teacher Sima was so angry that he burned the book on the spot and wouldn't let him continue his study. Zhuge Liang is eager to learn, but he can't learn, and he can't force it, so he goes to ask Mrs. Sima. Sima Fu deeply sympathized with the punishment of letting Ge Liang feed the chickens to study, so he pleaded with Mr. Sima. Teacher Sima said: "At an early age, I didn't work hard on my homework, but I let my thoughts deceive the teacher." This is a bad intention, and this person can't be big. "Mrs. Sima interceded for Zhuge Liang many times, saying that although he was a little careful at an early age, he always wanted to learn more and had no other plans. Hearing this, Mr. Sima felt reasonable and agreed that Zhuge Liang would continue his studies.

Mr. Sima burned Zhuge Liang's book in a rage, and after his wife persuaded him, he agreed to continue studying. But how can I read without books? The lady said to Mr. Sima, "You have the back shell of a thousand-year-old tortoise. Legend can make people know the past in a thousand years and the future in 500 years. You might as well let Zhuge Liang try. If it's useful, why do you want a book? " Mr. Sima thought that he had burned the book, so he had to do as his wife said.

Zhuge Liang put the turtle shell given by his wife on his body, which became the costume of his life-gossip suit. What I learned in the past is vivid in my mind, and I can understand it without telling the truth.

The story of goose feather fan

Zhuge Liang's goose feather fan represents wisdom and talent, so in Zhuge Liang's operas, Kong Ming always holds a goose feather fan in his hand.

There is a folk story about goose feather fan. Huang's baby daughter is not ugly, but she is a very smart, beautiful and talented girl. Huang was afraid of turning a blind eye to Jingshan jade for young people, so he called his daughter "Ah Chou". Archie Huang Ou Yue Ying is not only fluent in writing, but also superb in martial arts. She once studied under a famous teacher. When Yicheng went down the mountain, the master gave her a goose feather fan and wrote the words "bright" and "bright". There are also many tricks in the world to attack the city and rule the country. And tell her that the one with the word bright in his name is the only thrill. Later, Huang's son-in-law was Zhuge Liang, the later prime minister of Shu. Before he left Longzhong, he knew that there were "Ming" and "Liang" in the world. When they got married, Huang Yueying gave Zhuge Aliang a goose feather fan as a gift. Kong Ming's love for goose feather fans is like the apple of his eye. In doing so, he not only expressed the sincere love between their husband and wife, but also skillfully used the infatuation strategy. So, no matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, I always put my hand on the fan.

During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, Zhao, an observer of Xiangyang, wrote in Zhuge Shi: "The fan shakes the tripod for three minutes, and there are eight dark clouds", which is enough to prove the role of Zhuge Liang's goose feather fan and the reason why he never leaves the fan.

Zhuge Liang's flying story

It is said that once Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei, Sun Quan and Cao Cao were flying together, and they suddenly encountered an emergency and needed to parachute to escape. Only then did I find that there were only three parachute bags left on the plane. Everyone is nervous. At this time, Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan, cleared his throat and said, "Well, the mountain man will jump if he answers a few questions, or jump himself if he can't answer them." Others have no choice but to agree.

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan again and asked Liu Bei, "How many suns are there in the sky?" Liu Bei thought it was very simple. He answered "one" and took an umbrella bag. Zhuge Liang asked Sun Quan again, "How many moons are there in the sky?" Sun Quan replied, "One" and went down with an umbrella bag. Finally, it was Cao Cao's turn. Zhuge Liang asked, "How many stars are there in the sky?" Cao Zheng was puzzled and had to jump into the sea to kill himself/unexpectedly jump into the sea to save his life. Cao Cao felt very happy.

The second time, when four people met an emergency by plane, they still discussed it in the old way. Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan again and asked Liu Bei, "Which battle did Zhou Wuwang defeat the crepe king?" Liu Bei thought it was simple, and Zhuge Liang nodded in response to the "Makino War", so Liu Bei took an umbrella bag and went down. Zhuge Liang asked Sun Quan again, "How many people died in that battle?" Sun Quan thought for a moment and said, "About 30,000 to 40,000." Zhuge nodded, and Sun Quan took an umbrella bag and went down. Cao Cao couldn't help laughing and thinking, "Zhuge Liang, I used to be an expert, especially in the military, but this time you fell." Zhuge Liang asked, "What are their names?" Cao Cao almost fainted and had to jump down by himself. Cao Cao laughed to himself, "md, Lao tze is really deadly. What can you do with Zhuge? ! "

The third time, the same four people flew, and the plane encountered an emergency. Cao Cao thought about it, and Zhuge tried to fool me again, so I jumped myself to avoid being insulted. So I jumped into the air at high speed. I heard Zhuge Liang's laughter from above. "Cao Cao, you are so smart. Haha, there are four parachutes on the plane today!" "

The story of Kong Ming's collision with his teacher.

Zhuge Liang studied with Mr. Shui Jing for three years. Mr. Wang stated that there would be an exam tomorrow. Many students recite things, but Zhuge Liang doesn't. The next day. Mr. Wang said that anyone who is allowed to leave Shuijing Village can start his career. Many students are stupid. Zhuge Liang is sleeping. The exam is almost over. Zhuge Liang grabbed Mr. Shuijing by the corner and said, You old bookworm made a mistake and asked us to pay back the tuition for three years. So Si Mahui kicked him out. He ran to the teacher with a stick. He knelt on the ground and said, "I had to have a conflict with my teacher just now for the exam, so I should say that my disciples are willing to accept severe punishment." After Mr. Shuijing helped him up, he said you can start. "

Zhuge Liang's story of respecting teachers

When he visited Mr. Huang Dang, his husband didn't accept him. One day, Zhuge Liang asked him something he didn't understand, and he happened to catch up with his husband to sleep. Zhuge Liang waited in the scorching sun. It suddenly occurred to him that he could easily catch cold without a quilt, so he went to cover him with a quilt and knelt down to take off his shoes. When he woke up, he accepted him.

The story of Zhuge Liang's adopted son

Zhuge Liang (18 1-234) was the prime minister of western Shu, and he was famous for his calculation. His plan for future generations has also been calculated for a long time. In a letter to his brother, he specifically talked about his son Zhuge Zhan: "Zhan is eight years old, smart and lovely, and I don't think he will be a good ear."

Zhuge Liang is worried that his cleverness will be exposed prematurely, and he will easily become complacent, instead of becoming a great tool. So he named Zhuge Zhan "Philip Burkart". In his letter to his nephew, he also wrote: "Aim high." All this shows that he hopes that future generations will have lofty ideals and ambitions.

How can we have lofty aspirations? Zhuge Liang pointed out two conditions in his letter to his son: quiet and frugality. He said: "A gentleman's trip is quiet and self-cultivation, frugal and self-cultivation, indifferent and ambitious, peaceful and far-reaching. If you study quietly, you must study. If you don't study, you won't learn widely. If you have no ambition, you can't succeed. Slow can't be energetic, and risk can't be cured. "

He believes that if you want to be talented, you must study hard, and if you want to study, you must have ambition. It is also necessary to be calm. If you are not calm, you can't specialize in learning. Life is too comfortable, easily distracted and unable to achieve great goals. Austerity is the main condition of moral cultivation.

In his letter to his nephew, he further pointed out: we should stick to our lofty aspirations, "be patient, get into small pieces, ask questions widely, and get rid of meanness." In other words, if you don't consider the temporary gains and losses, don't covet the enjoyment of life, don't make friends with teachers and friends, and don't care about personal grievances, if you do this, "staying for a long time" may not be successful for a while. "Why harm beauty? Why bother?" Learning is interesting and will certainly be useful. What I am afraid of is that "the will is not strong, the intention is not generous, and people are stuck in customs and silently tied to feelings." Influenced by the pursuit of secular material life and lust, losing strong self-confidence will "lie in the secular forever, inevitably in the vulgar!"

It can be seen that Zhuge Liang's vision is "extraordinary" in order to make future generations more productive and let future generations scrimp and save!

The story of Zhuge Liang's marriage

According to scholars' research, Yang Du in Han Dynasty was probably located in Linyi or Yinan and Yishui counties. So Zhuge Liang should be from Shandong, but he left his hometown in Shandong as a teenager and lived in Longzhong. Liu Yuxi's "Humble Room Inscription" contains the phrase "Zhuge Lu is in Nanyang", and Zhuge Liang's "Teacher's Watch" also contains the phrase "Leading troops to Nanyang", which refers to the ten years of seclusion and the diving period before Zhuge Liang's debut. In fact, Zhuge Liang's seclusion in Longzhong is "unwilling to be lonely." He cares about world affairs and often compares himself with Guan Zhong and Le Yi. He is in troubled times, but he is eager to realize the ideal of saving the country and surviving. However, he also deeply knew that in the feudal society with deep-rooted concept of family status at that time, it was not easy for an unknown civilian youth to realize his personal political ideal even if he had great talent and no backing and family background? As a result, the clever Zhuge Liang skillfully used the trick of "getting married" to reverse his disadvantage.

As we all know, Zhuge Liang is a handsome man with both talents and looks, while his wife is an ugly woman. Huang, a celebrity in Miannan, said to Zhuge Liang, "I heard that you chose a wife, but you gave birth to an ugly girl with yellow head and black hair." what do you think? Zhuge Liang was overjoyed and immediately agreed. At that time, in the traditional society where "gifted scholars and beautiful women" or "gifted scholars and beautiful women" prevailed, Zhuge Liang's reverse operation of mate selection really surprised, regretted and even laughed at many people. There is an old saying: "Don't be Kong Ming's wife, you will get Acheng's ugly daughter", which refers to this matter.

However, because the father of the bride Huang Achou is a celebrity in Miannan, he has a very close relationship with Jingzhou Muliu Biao and Jingzhou nobles. After Zhuge Liang became Huang's son-in-law, he immediately became famous. This is also a "stepping stone" to enhance popularity through marriage, and it is also a wise "political skill"!

About this ugly girl, A Cheng, Luo Guanzhong said that she was "ugly, but she was a wizard. She has studied astronomy and geography and knows everything. When Wuhou was in Nanyang, he asked for a room. Wu Hou's research was sponsored by his wife. It can be seen that the talents of Zhuge Liang and his wife are still full.

Just don't know why, they have been infertile for a long time. According to historical records, Zhuge Liang was 27 when he got married. In the eyes of the ancients, he got married rather late, and didn't give birth to his son Zhuge Zhan until he was 46. At the same time, he also adopted Zhuge Qiao, the son of his younger brother Zhu Gejin. The book "The Origin of Surnames" records: "Zhuge Liang is eight feet long, thin and thick, like a pine and cypress, and his skin is moist and literary." Therefore, scholars doubt that Zhuge Liang's long childlessness after marriage is not entirely due to his ugly wife's infertility, but related to Zhuge Liang's poor health.

Of course, there is another saying: Zhuge Zhan was born to Zhuge Liang's concubine. Because Zhuge Liang once mentioned in his letter to Li Yan: "He gave me 800 thousand, and now I have no money and no clothes." It can be seen that Zhuge Liang has concubinage, so it is reasonable to suspect that Zhuge Zhan was not born of an ugly wife.

Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times.

Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo in Zhanyi County, Yunnan Province. Zhuge Liang fought in the north, captured Meng Huo seven times and pacified the south.

Suddenly a man said to Meng Huo, "The Prime Minister is ashamed and doesn't want to see the public. I was ordered to let the public go back and recruit people to win the battle. You can go quickly today. " Meng Huo cried, "There is no such thing as seven captures and seven verticals. Although I am a foreigner, I know a lot of etiquette. Are you so shameless? " So he, his brother and his wife, who lived in the party, knelt under their tents and said, "Prime Minister Tianwei, southerners will never rebel again!" " Zhuge Liang said, "Do you accept it now?" He cried and thanked him and said, "A son, a son and a grandson all feel burdened with the grace of a generation. They are too content to accept it!" " Kong Ming invited Meng Huo to pay the bill and hold a banquet to celebrate, thus making him an eternal cave owner. All confiscated land will be returned. Meng Huozong and all the barbarians were impressed and jumped away happily. Later generations wrote a poem praising Kong Ming, saying, "Feather fan and black silk scarf hold a blue building, and seven tricks are used to make barbarian king. So far, Dong Xichuan Wade, in order to choose a temple on the plateau. "

Zhuge Liang Huarong ancient road

In 208 AD, after Cao Cao captured Jingzhou, he led more than 200,000 amphibious troops down the river. It is planned to eliminate Liu Bei and Sun Quan in one fell swoop and realize the grand aspiration of reunifying the whole country. However, he was carried away by victory, arrogant and despised the enemy. As a result, Sun Liu's allied troops set fire to Chibi and fled hastily, defeating Huarong Road.

What is Huarong Road? According to the annotation of Zi Tongzhi Jian, it is "from this way, Huarong can be reached". Huarong mentioned here, of course, refers to Huarong County. Huarong Road is also the route that Cao Jun fled to Huarong County after fleeing to Huarong County in Chibi War. GuHuarong County is near Zhoulaozui, about 60 miles north of Jianli County. If you draw a straight line from the Wulin where Cao Cao sent troops to Nanjun, the destination where Cao Cao fled, Huarong City is in the center of this straight line. In order to escape back to Jiangling, Cao chose Huarong County as the shortest route. Moreover, there was a grain warehouse in Cao Jun near Huarong County at that time, which was convenient for withdrawing troops to replenish grain.

Because of this ancient swamp lake barrier. There is no straight road from Wulin to Huarong City. Jun can only flee to the west along the river, enter Huarong County, and then turn northwest to Huarong County. In this way, it is necessary to wade through a swamp on the edge of osawa. According to county records, when Cao Cao fled to Taiping Bridge, his men got stuck in the mud and had to throw away the whip, dismount and walk. There is still an ancient place name "Caobian Port" here. Twenty miles from Qubian Port to Maojiakou, "the road is narrow, dangerous and bumpy", and Cao Jun is "blocked by mud", which means that soldiers cut reeds and wormwood to fill the road. "If you win, you will be trampled in the mud and many people will die."

Lu You, a great poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, passed by the road for six years (1 170). He wrote: "Nature is uninhabited, and the two sides are eagerly looking forward to it, which is called a hundred miles shortage." The boatman said, "Since then, the evil river has been blocked and tigers and wolves have appeared. I don't know what to do, I will be hurt by my husband. " 960 years after Cao Cao's defeat, Huarong Road is still so desolate, and the hardships and embarrassment of Cao Jun at that time can be imagined.

The real development of Huarong Road began in Yuan Dynasty. Today's Huarong Road can't see the desolation of the past at all, with trees on both sides of the road and fertile fields everywhere. When the rice is fragrant, the lotus blooms. In the evening, the smoke rises into the air, showing the scenery of a plain water town.

Zhuge Liang entrusted orphans to Baidicheng in Fengjie.

The Three Gorges Mushi Art Museum is located in Baidicheng, the first gorge of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, with a long history and beautiful scenery. Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, added infinite charm to this place. Wang Chaowen, a famous aesthete and honorary chairman of China Artists Association, wrote the name of the Three Gorges Mushi Art Museum. The Three Gorges Wood and Stone Art Museum shows nearly 100 gloomy three Gorges woodcarving stones that Mr. Wei Jingyu, honorary curator of fengjie county Baidicheng Museum in Chongqing, pursues the beauty of nature and drinks the source of nature. Wandering among them, you may realize the true meaning of nature and life.

Baidigao is a small town of Three Gorges! It's another poem by Du Fu, which tells that the shape of Baidicheng, located on the north side of Kuimen, is better than that of Sichuan and Hubei. Later, there was a famous sentence by a poet in the Qing Dynasty: "Bayu controls thousands of valleys in the west, and Jingchu presses mountains in the east", which also has a dignified bearing. As a military defense, Baidicheng has a vast territory and a long history. It was the first century A.D. (the end of the Western Han Dynasty). Gongsun Shu, according to Shu, claimed to be "Bai Di" and built a city here. After his death, he left a memorial temple on Mount Bai Di, which is the Bai Di Temple we are visiting now. Two hundred years after Gongsun Shu, another famous historical figure, Liu Bei, the emperor of Shu Han in the Three Kingdoms, defeated Wu Bing, retreated to Baidicheng and died in Yong 'an Palace. Before he died, he entrusted state affairs (half of the country) and family affairs (only orphans are alive) to Prime Minister Zhuge Liang. This is China's famous "Liu Bei entrust an orphan".

The existing Bai Di Temple is built in the Qing Dynasty, such as Liang Mingtang, Wuhou Temple, Tuogu Hall and Xingsu Pavilion. , promoting historical celebrities related to "trusting orphans" in many ways. More than 70 precious stone carvings from Sui Dynasty to Qing Dynasty will be collected in the East and West Forest of Steles. Mo Bao, the leader of the Party and state and a famous contemporary painter and calligrapher, is displayed in the history of poetry. The cultural relics room, which is based on Daxi culture, shows the richness of unearthed cultural relics in this area in a general historical order. The West Pavilion halfway up the mountain is a place to commemorate Du Fu. Du Fu stayed in Fengjie for less than two years, but left more than 400 beautiful poems, accounting for two-seventh of Du Fu's poems. Looking out of the window, we saw the magnificent scene of "fallen leaves are like waterfalls, and I see the long river running", and suddenly we felt a high-spirited passion.

The story of empty city stratagem

One day, more than 100,000 Wei Jun went straight to Xicheng, and Zhuge Liang was in no hurry. Although there are no generals around him, there are only more than 2,000 civil servants and some old, weak and sick soldiers. He ordered to open the city gate and let some veterans sweep the floor. When Wei Jun saw this, Sima Yi said, "Zhuge Liang was cautious all his life and never took risks. It is better to ambush the city gate today. " Then he ordered everyone to retreat quickly.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang had their own masters. Zhou Yu was very jealous because Zhuge Liang was knowledgeable and superior. Zhou Yu always wants to find a loan to kill him.

Once at a banquet, Zhou Yu deliberately said to Zhuge Liang, "Mr. Kong Ming, if I recite a poem, you will get it right and you will be rewarded;" If you can't do it well, you will be punished by beheading. How come? "Zhuge Liang smiled indifferently:" Gentlemen are not joking, please talk first. "

Zhou Yu was overjoyed, so he began to read: water is a stream, and water is ridiculous. If you remove the water from the stream, you will get a chicken. A successful cat is better than a tiger, and a fallen phoenix is not as good as a chicken.

Zhuge Liang smiled and began to sing: wood is also a game of chess, and wood is also a game of chess. If you take off the wood on the edge of the chess game, you will be bullied if you owe it. Longyou shoal was played by shrimp, and the tiger fell to Pingyang and was bullied by dogs.

Zhou Yu was furious after hearing this, but because of his prior statement, it was not easy to have an attack. After pondering for a while, I added: twist if you have a hand; Without hands, it is ugly; If you remove the twisted hand, you are a girl. There are ugly women in Longzhong, and it is difficult to choose a woman.

Zhuge Liang knew that he was laughing at his wife Huang Achou's ugliness, so he immediately said: A tree is also a bridge, and a tree is also a Joe. If you remove the wood from the bridge, you will be charming. Jiangdong beauty big Xiao Qiao, Cao Cao copper sparrow locks two jiao.

Zhou Yu knows that this is mocking his wife. Anger rushed to the crown, and he wanted to attack. Lu Su said: there is wood for the trough, but there is no wood for Cao. If you remove the wood from the edge of the groove, Gami is a groove. Today's plan is to break Cao, and it is not bad for the dragon and the tiger to compete.

The story of Zhuge Liang's marriage

When Zhuge Liang was young, there lived a talented woman in a village not far from home. Many young people from all directions went to propose marriage. Who knows, after meeting, they all left quietly. Are girls too demanding? Or is it too colorful? Where's the secret?

When he was young, Zhuge Liang was brilliant and ambitious. He studied at home all day, but he ignored marriage. However, several friends praised the talented woman to him in succession, and Zhuge Liang decided to meet the girl out of curiosity.

On this day, Zhuge Liang went on a blind date and saw an ugly girl in front of him. Her face is dark and there are many lumps. No wonder all relatives and friends are leaving. It turns out that the girl is so ugly. Zhuge Liang is certainly unhappy, but people say that she is talented and wants to give it a try. He asked many questions, and the girls answered them without thinking, from astronomy to geography. I am proficient in poetry and songs. Thus ZhuGeLiang really tempted, but he doesn't think she looks ugly. The more he talked to the girl, the more speculative he became, and he proposed to her with admiration. The girl asked, "Don't you think I'm ugly?" Zhuge Liang sincerely replied, "Appearance is just a person's appearance. I like your knowledge and quick thinking. " The girl smiled and nodded and happily agreed to the marriage.

On the wedding day, relatives and friends went to congratulate her. Although the bride wore a bright red headscarf and covered her face, everyone nearby knew the details and whispered and talked about it. After seeing off the guests, Zhuge Liang entered the bridal chamber and saw an angelic lady sitting by the bed with a gentle face and big watery eyes. She smiled and was really handsome. Zhuge Liang asked in surprise, "Who are you and why are you sitting here?" The girl answered naughtily, "Do you really don't know me?" Zhuge Liang was tongue-tied and just shook his head. The girl turned her back, turned around again, and immediately turned into a black face full of acne, just like the blind date girl. Zhuge Liang suddenly realized that he was surprised and called, "Madam!" Huang Yueying took off the mask on his face and said with a smile, "Sir, this is a mask specially made of leather. I'll put it on whoever proposes. I want to deliberately try those vulgar men who judge people by their appearances. Sure enough, they were all covered by this mask and ran away one by one. Only Mr. Wang is a man with both ability and political integrity. Mr. Wang's discerning character is really admirable and he is willing to accompany you to make great achievements. " Zhuge Liang was overjoyed, and from then on they loved each other and grew old together.

The story of three visits to the thatched cottage

When Liu Bei lived in Xinye, he knew that the reason for wasting half his life was that although there were generals such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei around him, there was no counselor to give advice, so he was polite and helpful. On the recommendation of Si Mahui and Xu Shu, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came to visit Zhuge Liang in Longzhong, Xiangyang.

When I first came to this villa, Liang had already gone out, and the three met Liang's friend Cui on the way back. A few days later, Liu, Guan and Zhang braved the storm to take care of the hut. On the way, I met my good friend and Meng. When I arrived at the thatched cottage and met Liang's brother Zhuge Jun, I realized that Liang had traveled far away, leaving a note to express my admiration. When I came back, I met Liang's father-in-law Huang by the bridge at the foot of Longzhong Mountain. After a while, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came to the thatched cottage. It happened that the lights were on at home and they didn't wake up during the day. Liu Bei ordered Guan and Zhang to wait outside the door. They crept and stood at the foot of the steps and handed them to Liu Bei. They didn't meet until they woke up. [Sangutang: Built in the 58th year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty (A.D. 17 19), it is the memorial hall of Liu Bei's Mao Lu of Sangutang and Zhuge Liang's Long Zhong Dui.
