Lu Yi laughed out loud when he heard what Huang Chengyan said.
First, Huang Chengyan misunderstood what he meant.
Although he asked about Huang Chengyan's daughter, he did not want her to serve him, but wanted to confirm historical rumors.
Secondly, I didn't expect that Huang Chengyan really thought his daughter was extremely ugly.
Think about it, this is Huang Chengyan's daughter.
Huang Chengyan is a famous scholar in Jingzhou.
He is also one of the managers of the Huang family.
With this status, some people actually despise him!
Not to mention, Huang Yueying is also versatile.
Huang Chengyan was at a loss as Lu Yi laughed.
Lu Yi realized that he had lost his temper, so he stopped smiling and said to Huang Chengyan: "Mr. Huang, don't panic, there are a thousand Grand Historians and a thousand Emperor Gaozu."
"Perhaps, in the eyes of secular people, your wife is indeed not beautiful."
"But in Gu's eyes, Gu does not care about these things."
"All beautiful skins are the same."
"Interesting and talented people are more attractive."
"What do you think?"
Huang Chengyan glanced at Lu Yi with a strange look on his face.
This Wu Hou is really nice when he talks.
This point is even better than that of his favorite disciple Zhuge Liang.
have to.
Since you insist on her coming, you can only let her come.
Huang Chengyan could only say: "Okay, Wu Hou will wait a moment, and I will go back and bring her over now."
Lu Yi said: "Old sir, this trip is quite far away. How about I take someone with you to have a look?"
Huang Chengyan said hurriedly: "It would be really brilliant for Wu Hou to come here. I am so grateful!"
Lu Yi nodded and asked Shi Huan and Nangong Yan to bring their guards. The group of people rode war horses and accompanied Huang Chengyan out of Xiangyang City and came to Mianshui.
Huang Chengyan's home is located not far from the shore south of Mianshui River.
The entire Huang family is a small town!
Outside is a courtyard wall two feet high.
Inside the courtyard wall, there are dozens of tall buildings.
Lu Yi: "."
Huang Chengyan’s family is comparable to the Lu family!
There were servants patrolling in front of Huang Chengyan's house.
There are five groups, and each group leads a yellow dog.
Every twenty steps, there are guards guarding the place.
Not only is it the size of a small town, it also has the defenses of a small town.
Lu Yi glanced at Huang Chengyan, who was smiling beside him, and secretly had a suspicion in his heart.
After taking Jingzhou, they had to take a severe blow from the four major families, which would definitely not encourage their arrogance to continue to grow.
If we don't take the opportunity to weaken them now, it will be another headache for them to grow bigger in the future.
Moreover, by knocking the bones out of their bodies and sucking out the marrow, they save themselves the trouble of plundering from the common people at the bottom.
After all, war is an extremely expensive thing.
However, having said that, if you operate like this, it is the people at the bottom who will ultimately pay the bill.
Lu Yi was quite sad.
As his status became higher and higher, he felt more and more helpless and sad about improving the people.
No matter which era, power, wealth and status seem to always be in the hands of a very small number of people.
Under Huang Chengyan's guidance, Lu Yi and others entered Huang's house.
There are twists and turns inside.
After walking for nearly a quarter of an hour, Lu Yi almost fainted before arriving at Huang Chengyan's residence, a particularly large building.
Lu Yi secretly sighed.
Huang Chengyan's home is quite as luxurious as the mansion of the richest man Hu Xueyan that he saw before traveling back in time.
When I watched "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" before, Huang Chengyan was actually played as an ordinary old man. Now that I think about it, it's a bit ridiculous.
As one of the managers of the Huang family, Huang Chengyan is related to Cai Mao and Liu Biao as brothers-in-law. How could he be an ordinary old man?
Zhuge Liang was sitting in Longzhong but already knew the affairs of the world.
Except for Huang Chengyan, the father-in-law, no one else can provide this terrifying intelligence capability.
In this late Han Dynasty, intelligence collection was extremely difficult.
It is far from being able to know world affairs through the Internet while sitting at home like in later generations.
Any information here requires people to come out with two feet.
The manpower and financial resources required to obtain each piece of intelligence are extremely terrifying.
Huang Chengyan can provide Zhuge Liang with this.
Lu Yi glanced at Huang Chengyan who was smiling apologetically, and made another decision.
Regardless of whether his daughter is really ugly or fake, he must have it.
In a war, what is fought for is not only military power, but also financial resources, food and grass, and intelligence.
Strong intelligence capabilities can lead to huge information gaps, which often have a very terrifying impact on winning a war.
As for his second brother-in-law Zhuge Liang, it will be time for him to choose a beautiful and talented daughter from the head of the Lu family.
In this way, it can also bring Zhuge Liang closer to himself.
As for Huang Chengyan, among the four major families in Jingzhou, he will not suppress him for the time being, but will use their intelligence network to serve himself.
When he came to the hall, Huang Chengyan asked Lu Yi to sit at the main seat and he sat on the left hand side. Then he asked his servant to inform his daughter and ask her to dress up before coming out.
Lu Yi only sat for a while, drank some tea, and then said to Huang Chengyan: "I heard that your love is proficient in erotic techniques, and even made a wind ear? Can you take me to the place where she usually studies?"
When Huang Chengyan heard what Lu Yi said, he couldn't hide the smile on his eyebrows. He made a gesture of invitation and said, "I didn't expect Wu Hou to know this too!"
"My little girl Yueying, although her appearance is indeed a bit ugly, she is very talented."
"Poems, songs and paintings are at your fingertips."
"Of course, these don't mean anything."
"Every lady, you must master these."
"The great thing about my little girl is that she knows all these things."
"I am not boasting, but apart from appearance, my daughter is indeed far inferior. In terms of her talent in poetry and painting, my daughter is not inferior to Zhaoji, the eldest daughter of Mr. Cai Yong."
"Besides, my daughter Yueying is not proud of this."
"She inherited the old minister's strange and obscene skills."
"Also, I have been involved in astronomy and geography since I was a child."
A group of people came to a large room.
The room was very messy with various items everywhere.
Huang Chengyan was not ashamed, but very proud. He pointed around and said: "These are some of the tools used by my little girl Yueying to study strange and obscene techniques, and there are also some unfinished items."
"Her mind is so flexible that even veterans can't keep up."
Lu Yi listened to Huang Chengyan's introduction and glanced at various items in the room.
There was also a storm in his heart!
He saw dozens of bearings linked together!
He saw the chain!
He saw the moving pulley!
He saw the test tube!
He even saw vernier calipers!
He also saw papers scattered on the ground, with complex structural diagrams drawn on them.
And a quill!
Lu Yi only felt his mouth was dry.
If there were a camera that could capture these items and pass them on to the 21st century, it would definitely shock the whole world.
In this era of the late Han Dynasty, you can actually see things you see every day in the 21st century!
Even though it was Shi Huan, he was smacking his lips at this moment and said: "A daughter's family is so busy with these things! Moreover, there are so many papers!"
Although paper was very common in this era, it was very expensive and could not be used by ordinary scholars, let alone ordinary people.
The floor of the room where Huang Yueying studied was scattered everywhere.
Huang Chengyan smiled and said nothing.
As far as these are concerned, they are nothing at all.
Lu Yi pointed to the chains, bearings and other items and said, "How did your wife make these?"
Huang Chengyan said: "They are all ancient books, she studied them out."
"For example, the Mo family's mechanism technique."
"Luban's transcript."
Huang Chengyan smiled and said to Lu Yi: "Since my father-in-law, our family likes to collect various ancient books."
"Many of these books have been lost outside, but I have only one copy at home."
Pointing to the south of Huang's house, Huang Chengyan said somewhat smugly: "There are three houses in my house that keep these books."
"These books range from tree bark to parchment scrolls, to stones, to bamboo slips."
"After my father-in-law retired and returned to his hometown, he spent a lot of money to buy these. Then he hoarded them and studied them slowly. He was still reading them until his death."
"The reason why the father-in-law is willing to marry his daughter to the old minister is largely because the old minister loves these books as much as he does."
"The reason why I didn't become an official before was because life is short and I don't want to waste too much time on such a futile struggle for power."
"My daughter Yueying may have been exposed to it since she was a child. From the moment she was born, she was different from other girls' families."
"Whenever she has time, she likes to dig into the stacks and read all kinds of books."
Lu Yi nodded and played with test tubes, bearings, chains, vernier calipers and other objects.
Just when he was playing enthusiastically, a voice came from outside and said, "Reporting to Marquis Wu and the head of the family, the young lady has finished washing and dressing up."
Huang Chengyan looked at Lu Yi.
Lu Yi reluctantly glanced at the objects in the room, then turned to Huang Chengyan and said, "Let's go, let Gu Jian meet this talented female gentleman!"
The group followed Huang Chengyan back to the hall.
Huang Chengyan asked his servants to take care of Nangong Yan, Shi Huan and others in the hall, while he led Lu Yi into the back room alone.
The servants in the back room have already been dismissed.
The two of them came to a room together.
Huang Chengyan knocked on the door and said, "Yueying, Marquis Wu is here."
A trembling and nervous female voice came from inside: "Please come in, Marquis Wu."
Huang Chengyan pushed open the door and said to Lu Yi: "Marquis Wu, my daughter Yueying is inside."
Lu Yi hummed and walked in.
Huang Chengyan closed the door from the outside.
Lu Yi walked through the entrance hall, passed by a reception hall, and finally came to a room.
The room is huge.
However, the decoration inside is very simple, which is completely different from the luxury outside the Huang family.
Apart from a rather large desk with a few yellowed paper books stacked on it, two plates of cakes, and a pot of hot tea, there was only one bed.
In front of the bed, there is a screen.
On the bed, at this time, a figure wearing a yellow dress and a veil was sitting quietly with his head lowered.
Her slender little white hands were placed on her slender thighs, twisted together, as if they were extremely nervous.
Lu Yi: "."
What a golden and beautiful hair!
Although he often saw this kind of hair color before time travel, most of them were dyed.
In this era, there is no such thing as hair dyeing.
In other words, the woman in front of me has natural golden hair!
No wonder it cannot be appreciated by the world.
At this time, her chin was so low that it was almost touching her chest, making it impossible to see her eyes clearly.
Lu Yi walked over and said, "Miss Huang, can you raise your head? There is no need to be nervous, Gu is not a man-eating monster."
The woman responded softly and then slowly raised her head.
