"This is a clan member of the Han Dynasty and the current son of Lord Zongzheng Liu Yan."
Taishi Ci saw that the visitor's tone was not kind, and he himself was not polite.
The middle-aged man was surprised when he heard this. Why did the young master of Jiuqing come to Taishan County?
"It turns out to be Mr. Liu, and I am Wang Jin, the governor of Taishan County."
"I've met Governor Wang."
Liu Zhang bowed his hands and bowed, lowering his posture.
Wang Jin looked at the dusty Liu Zhang and asked:
"Master, is there something wrong?"
"The two of us came here specially from Beihai to visit Mr. Zhuge Gui. We are dressed in plain clothes, right?"
Wang Jin saw Liu Zhang's worried look and knew that he had misunderstood, so he quickly explained.
"No, it was Zhuge Juncheng's wife who passed away."
Liu Zhang looked at Wang Jin and asked:
"Can the Sheriff make a recommendation on my behalf?"
"Okay, please come in."
Wang Jin took Liu Zhang to Zhuge Gui's home.
The Zhuge family is very simple, which should be related to family tradition.
Since his grandfather Zhuge Feng, he has been an honest man, and his home furnishings are simple and generous.
Liu Zhang walked to the front of the hall and took a look. Two men and two women were kneeling next to the coffin.
The older one is about ten years old and the younger one is only three or four years old.
Liu Zhang's eyes focused directly on the little boy.
A middle-aged man walked over quickly and looked at Wang Jin who had left and returned with confusion.
Seeing that Liu Zhang was still staring at the people in the room, Taishi Ci coughed lightly.
Liu Zhang came back to his senses and looked at the person approaching.
This man is dressed in white clothes, seven feet tall and has a dignified appearance.
It's just that his eyes are a little dull, probably due to excessive sadness.
"Lord Sheriff"
Zhuge Gui looked at Wang Jin who was leaving and returning, and saluted respectfully.
"Brother Xian, this is Liu Zongzheng's young master. He came all the way from Beihai to see you."
When Wang Jin introduced him, he deliberately emphasized the word 'Zong Zheng'.
Zhuge Gui looked at Liu Zhang and was slightly startled. The Zhuge family and the Liu family probably had no friendship.
"I wonder if you have any advice, Master?"
How could Liu Zhang dare to teach Zhuge Gui? He first bowed and then said slowly:
"Sir, you are joking. How dare you give me advice?"
"I heard that Mr. Honest is upright and knowledgeable. I'm here to pay my respects."
"It's better to be famous than to meet him. Sir, he is indeed well-deserved!"
As the saying goes, you can wear everything you wear, but you can never wear flattery. As soon as Liu Zhang said this, Zhuge Gui's face turned slightly red and he said he didn't dare.
Wang Jin laughed and nodded in agreement.
He was very clear about Zhuge Gui's character.
"A good brother need not be humble, and a young master must not deceive one another."
"The county government still has official business, so I'll take my leave first."
Thinking that there were still important things in the house, he said goodbye and left.
Liu Zhang quickly thanked Wang Jin and sent him away.
Zhuge Gui invited Liu Zhang into the house. Seeing that there was no one around, he asked again.
"There is no one around right now. If you have anything to say, young master, you can just tell me."
"It's really nothing, just visiting sir."
Liu Zhang's eyes were sincere, not artificial, and Zhuge Gui temporarily believed him.
"In this case, the young master can stay at my house temporarily and entertain the young master after he is buried."
Liu Zhang expressed his gratitude and told Zhuge Gui not to worry about him and just go about his business.
Three days later, Zhuge Gui's wife was buried, and everything went very smoothly.
After a few days of getting along, Liu Zhang also became familiar with Zhuge Gui's two sons.
The eldest son Zhuge Jin is 12 years old this year.
The second son, Zhuge Liang, is only 4 years old.
There is also a 1-year-old baby Zhuge Jun.
As for his two six- and seven-year-old daughters, Liu Zhang did not have much contact with them.
Zhuge Jin is relatively thin, only over five feet tall, much shorter than Liu Zhang.
He has good facial features, but his face is very long. No wonder Sun Quan said that Zhuge Jin looks like a donkey.
Zhuge Jin has an honest face and looks like an honest person at first glance.
Zhuge Jin is very knowledgeable and has extensive knowledge of the Book of Songs, Shangshu, and Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals.
Although the Zhuge family is not very wealthy, it is at least a well-known family and has a lot of books at home.
Zhuge Jin discussed with Liu Zhang when he had time and admired Liu Zhang's knowledge very much.
Compared to Zhuge Jin, the 4-year-old Zhuge Liang has already shown far more talent than ordinary people.
I can't put it down for all kinds of books, and my understanding is very comparable to others.
Four-year-old Zhuge Liang had his own unique insights, which made Liu Zhang very ashamed of his title of child prodigy.
I felt that I was not even a little bit worse than him, and my obsession with Zhuge Liang became deeper and deeper.
Liu Zhang could not stay in Taishan forever. After all, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was imminent, so he proposed to leave.
Zhuge Gui was very reluctant to give up and repeatedly tried to persuade Liu Zhang to stay.
Although it had only been ten days, he no longer dared to underestimate this young man.
The body is strong and the martial arts must be extraordinary. Outstanding literary talent and smooth export. He was also a disciple of the great Confucian Zheng Xuan.
Although he is underage, his sharp edge cannot be concealed.
He is a member of the Han clan, and his father Liu Yan holds the high position of Jiuqing.
Zhuge Gui was convinced that given time, Liu Zhang would become a blockbuster.
