"Hahahaha, you didn't see Cai Mao's expression when a sock was stuffed in his mouth!"

On the way back, Liao Hua boasted proudly:

"And Han Xing and I punched him in the face. Even if Cai Mao's mother showed up, she wouldn't have recognized him."

"Han Xing, you should take me with you next time for something like this!" Gan Ning said dissatisfiedly, "Yuan Jian doesn't know how to beat people up!"

"Tsk!" Liao Hua raised his middle finger to Gan Ning: "You are just jealous of me!"

Zhuge Tian looked at these funny guys and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

About ten miles away from Xiangyang, we saw billowing smoke and dust on the opposite side.

It turned out to be Huang Zhong who rushed over with a small group of cavalry.

"Old Huang, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Liao Hua asked curiously.

"You guys..." Huang Zhong looked at them in astonishment: "Are you okay?"

"Hey, what could we possibly be doing? We're just going to Xiangyang to look for...yes, Pang Shiyuan to play cards."

"Alright, Wudie told me everything!" Huang Zhong frowned. "You're too reckless. You actually ran to Xiangyang just for a little girl's words..."

He took his family to Wolong Village today, but found that several people were not there. Even Zhuge Liang didn't know where they had gone.

I noticed that Huang Wudie's face looked strange, and after asking her I found out that she actually wanted to hire a few people to beat up Cai Mao yesterday.

Although these guys didn't take the money in the end, given their lawless nature and the fact that they were not in Wolong Village, it was easy to guess where they went.

Fearing that several of his men would be captured by Cai Mao, Huang Zhong had no choice but to rush to Xiangyang with his personal soldiers.

"Who said we're here for Wudie?" Liao Hua said nonchalantly. "I've been fed up with that bastard Sun for a long time. It's New Year's Day and I'm free, so I might as well go into town and give him a beating!"

"That's right. The last time that grandson went to the city of Rang County, he came back acting like he had made the greatest contribution. I've been fed up with him for a long time!" Gan Ning rarely agreed with Liao Hua.

"Well, he's just an idiot!" Xu Chu didn't say much, but one sentence made everyone laugh.

Huang Zhong sighed: "Alright, let's go back."

After taking two steps, he still felt uneasy: "You really didn't reveal any flaws?"

"Anyway, we don't have it!" Liao Hua said.

Zhao Yun also shook his head.

Only Gan Ning was stunned for a moment, and said uncertainly: "Probably not..."

Only then did he remember that he had lost the silk scarf that covered his face when he turned the corner.

But it was so dark, how could it be easy to find the lost handkerchief?

After returning to Wolong Village and waiting for a few days, Huang Zhong said that no one in Xiangyang City was investigating the matter.

Even the fact that Cai Mao was beaten up in his own home did not spread widely.

I think he felt ashamed too.

Then on the seventh day, Zhuge Liang's elder and second sisters came to Wolong Village with a convoy of cars.

In addition to the two of them, there were also some people from the Pang family and the Kuai family, including Pang Tong.

This was the first time for the two to come to Wolong Village.

The main reason was that they used to think it was just an ordinary farm, and Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Tian often went to the city to see them, so they didn't come here.

When I took a look today, I found that this farm doesn’t seem so ordinary!

The most obvious thing is that everyone in Wolong Village, regardless of gender or child, is wearing new cotton-padded clothes.

Although I know that this thing was sold in Wolong Village, it is still not cheap for ordinary people.

I didn't expect that everyone in Wolong Village already has one.

Look at the doors of many people's homes, and you will see a long row of bacon and sausages hanging.

The men in Wolong Village are all strong and muscular, the women have rosy complexions, and the children are mostly chubby. There is no one with a pale and skinny face to be seen.

This is not an ordinary farm...

"Meet the eldest and second sisters."

It was not until Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Tian saluted under the car that the two sisters hurriedly got off with their people.

"We are all family, why are you being so polite?"

Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Tian were about to speak.

I saw girls getting out of their car one after another.

Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Tian looked at each other. What was going on?

Looking at Pang Tong who got off a car behind and looked at the two of them with a look of curiosity, Zhuge Tian suddenly realized the surprise that Pang Tong had told him a few days ago.

Could it be... these... beautiful girls in front of me?

It’s true that they are flower girls. These girls basically wear cotton coats, but they are different from those bought on the market.

It was obvious that the cotton inside was taken out and then the tailor made it again using finer fabrics.

Although it is still a cotton coat, it is much better looking than the standard style sold by Zhuge Tian and others.

Especially since there were various patterns embroidered on them, the two of them thought they were all fancy girls.

There was no Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism in this era, so when these girls came down, they whispered to Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Tian.

"Both of them are so handsome! The taller one is my brother, Master Hanxing, right?"

"Well, that should be it. This Young Master Hanxing looks a bit cold, but his eyes are so bright!"

"Yes, yes, and this black suit suits him so well!"

"I think Master Kong Ming is more handsome."

"Both young men are good-looking. Which one do you think I should choose?"

Zhuge Tian and Zhuge Liang were both stunned.

What's going on? You guys just picked me without any hesitation?

Seeing that the girls seemed quite satisfied, the two sisters smiled and said, "Don't just stand there like idiots. Aren't you going to invite everyone in?"

"Oh...oh, please come in."

Zhuge Tian and Zhuge Liang led the way, and then Zhuge Tian asked quietly, "What's going on?"

"I don't know either. My sister just said she would come to visit us after the New Year, but she didn't say she would bring so many... girls!"

Everyone was led to Zhuge Liang's yard, which was basically the usual activity center for Gan Ning and his team.

There is a specially made large round table in the middle.

Everyone gathers for meals and plays cards there, and it can accommodate thirteen or fourteen people.

Zhuge Tian even designed a turntable structure, on top of which another turntable can be added, which is convenient for large gatherings.

Since it was Chinese New Year these days, the turntable hadn't been taken out yet. After everyone sat down around the table...

Zhuge Tian and the others found it even more embarrassing.

The two sisters naturally sat at the top, and they each sat on one side.

Then the girls opposite were all those my sister brought today, exactly ten of them, all staring at them blankly.

"Um... didn't Second Sister say last time that she liked the snacks we gave her? I'll go get some!"

At this time, Zhuge Tian's brain was working faster than Zhuge Liang's.

Find a reasonable excuse to avoid the spotlight temporarily.

The two sisters also felt that they couldn't just sit there and do nothing, and many of the food and snacks that Zhuge Tian and the others sent were not available in Xiangyang.

Naturally, I let him go.

"Huh..." Zhuge Tian let out a long sigh after coming out of Zhuge Liang's yard.

"Hanxing, what's going on?"

Liao Hua was holding a handful of dried sweet potatoes, looking like a bystander.

"Can't you see that? We're going to find wives for both of them!"

Gan Ning wanted to take two dried sweet potatoes from Liao Hua's hand, but Liao Hua dodged them skillfully.

"The rise of the Han Dynasty is a great blessing!" Xu Chu gave a thumbs up.

Then Zhao Yun just stood beside them, smiling and saying nothing.

"Get out, get out..." Zhuge Tian waved his hand to drive them away.

Being stared at by a group of girls was more stressful than fighting a few rounds with these guys.

"Hey, don't run, Hanxing. Tell me which one you like? We brothers can give you some advice!" Liao Hua said jokingly when he saw Zhuge Tian was about to go back to his yard.

"Reference?" Zhuge Tian turned around and looked at the four people with a cold smile: "You four...except Zilong, each one is more like a bandit than the other. Give me a reference after you find a girlfriend!"

"What's a girlfriend? A female friend? What does it have to do with us looking like bandits?"

"What do you mean we look like bandits? We are manly! Manly, you know?"

Liao Hua finished speaking while jumping up and down, and Zhao Yun placed his hand on his shoulder.

"Let's go practice!"

"Hey, hey... Zilong, I'm not saying you're unmanly... Hey, it's New Year's Day, can you please not fight?"

Those annoying guys finally left.

Zhuge Tian went back to the store and walked around, picked up some peanuts, melon seeds, etc., thought about it, and moved a box of drinks.

It’s not that I want to please them, but these girls must have impressive family backgrounds.

I guess the two sisters have put in a lot of effort, so they can't lose their manners no matter what.

When he came out with a bunch of stuff in his arms, he found that the four guys had returned, but Liao Hua was limping.

Zhuge Tian didn't talk to them at all. If he started talking, Liao Hua would definitely not be able to spit out ivory from his dog mouth.

When Zhuge Tian returned to Zhuge Liang's yard, he was stunned.

what's the situation?

I was only away for about ten or twenty minutes.

At this time, Zhuge Liang was chatting and laughing with nine girls at the big round table.

There was only a girl in yellow watching quietly.

The girls were amused by him and laughed happily.

"Kong Ming, if I put the branches of this white flower in red ink, will it really turn red?"

"Kong Ming, can you make plum flavored popsicles next year? I love plums the most!"

"Little Kong Ming, what kind of hat would look good if made of cotton? I'm afraid of the cold in winter, especially my ears."

Is this Wolong’s strength?

"Hanxing, what are you doing standing there?" The eldest sister saw Zhuge Tian standing at the door in a daze and waved, "Come here quickly, I'll introduce you to these girls."

Although Zhuge Liang is their biological brother.

However, the two sisters treated Zhuge Tian almost like their own brother. The Zhuge family was not prosperous now, so they were waiting for Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Tian to get married and have children as soon as possible.

This is how today's... blind date came about.

"Ah...I...I'll share this food with everyone."

Although there is no obstacle in communicating with girls, Zhuge Tian doesn't think he can find as many topics to talk about as Zhuge Liang.

After slowly dividing the food, Zhuge Tian's eyes lit up: "It's a rare occasion for you sisters to come here, didn't I tell you long ago that I'd let you see my cooking skills?"

"Let me show off my cooking skills to my two sisters today!"

Zhuge Tian found a perfect excuse and quickly slipped away.

But he didn't notice that the girl in yellow at the table just now said something to her two sisters and followed out.

Zhuge Tian bought a big bag of ingredients and seasonings in his own shop, and when he went out, he ran into the girl in yellow.

"Uh...you...want to find a restroom?"

"..."

The girl blushed slightly, then glared at him: "I'm looking for you."

"Looking for... me?" Zhuge Tian pointed at his nose in confusion.

"Well, aren't you cooking? Let me help!"

"You? Help?" Zhuge Tian thought that these girls were daughters of wealthy families in the city and should have never had to do housework. He didn't expect that some of them would say they wanted to help with cooking.

"Yes, I cook very well, but I heard from Liu Qi that the food you cook here is the best in the world, so I plan to learn from you."

The girl said bluntly: "Is it okay?"

"...If you want to learn, then learn."

There was nothing to keep secret about this cooking skill, and many dishes required special kitchen utensils and seasonings, which could not be bought anywhere else except here in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Zhuge Tian took her into the kitchen, and Liao Hua and four others followed.

But Liao Hua was limping, probably because he had just been beaten by Zhao Yun.

"Hey, Hanxing, you're really quick!" Liao Hua said, winking at the two of them.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhuge Tiangang said.

The girl in yellow looked at the four people, her eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, "Do you know that a strange thing happened in Xiangyang a few days ago?"

"Strange? What strange thing?" Liao Hua was most interested in this kind of thing and asked quickly.

"General Zhennan's military advisor was beaten up last night." She glanced at the group. "It's said that a masked man who looked like a giant bear and a monkey beat him up first."

The military advisor to the General Zhennan was the official position Liu Biao gave to Cai Mao.

"Who do you think is..."

Liao Hua had just said half a sentence when he came to his senses, chuckled twice, and took a step back with Xu Zhu.

"Then immediately another tall and slender man appeared. Judging by the description... he looked a bit like this man."

Zhao Yun saw the other party pointing at him, but his face remained expressionless.

"The last one to come was said to be wearing a brocade robe." She looked at Gan Ning and said, "Hey, this guy's cotton-padded clothes are all made of Shu brocade?"

"Ahem, that... I suddenly remembered that we still have something to do... Hanxing, let's eat later... You don't have to wait for us!"

After Liao Hua finished speaking, he quickly pulled a few people away and ran away.

Zhuge Tian frowned: "How did you know?"

This incident happened in Xiangyang, and not many people knew about it.

"Because the one who got beaten...was my uncle!"

The girl in yellow said with a smile. Although she said "uncle", her tone seemed as if she was talking about an unrelated person.

"Uncle?" Zhuge Tian thought about it. Cai Mao's second sister was Madam Cai, who married Liu Biao and had only sons but no daughters.

The third sister wanted to marry Huan Jie, but was rejected by Huan Jie on the grounds that she was already married.

So only Cai Mao's eldest sister...

Sister Cai Mao!

Zhuge Tian was shocked to find out that Cai Mao's elder sister married Huang Chengyan.

Their daughter...

"Are you Huang Yueying?"
