Chapter 34: Little Zhuge, the Queen Mother invites you! (Please collect, vote for me, recommend, and read more)

Zhuge Weidao never expected that his house in Goulan Hutong would be so magnificent. Accompanied by his brother Zhuge Weixue, he rode in a four-wheeled carriage with two large boxes of luggage.

Run there.

As soon as I turned into the alley, I saw a big mansion with the name Zhuge Mansion on the door. There were also family members in green clothes wearing handkerchiefs cleaning the house at the door. I saw two brothers, Zhuge Weidao and Zhuge Weixue, getting off the carriage.

Everyone quickly bowed and saluted.

A tall middle-aged man with a springy face, wearing a robe and a scarf came out of the door. He clasped his fists and saluted. Zhuge Weidao had already heard from his brother on the way here that he had a housekeeper whose surname was Yu and whose name was De.

Xiaoqian, named Xiaoqian, is a descendant of Lao Yu, an old minister of the Zhuge family. With such a background, it is not difficult to become an official, but this man is "non-mainstream", likes literature, drama, and writes well.

He can write, sing on the stage, and write his own books, so he is a man of culture. This will depend on the Ming Dynasty, and he may be able to pass the imperial exams and become a Jinshi. However, in this dynasty, due to King Zhuge Wuzhong, mathematics, physics and chemistry were the prominent subjects.

Although there are also liberal arts majors in universities, liberal arts students can also work as secretaries and enter the government. But this member of the Yu family did not want to be restricted by that. When he was young, while the old man was still in power, he went around playing opera with people, but he didn't succeed.

Later, the old man disappeared and was bullied by his brothers at home. He didn't get any inheritance, so he was a little depressed. But Zhuge Weidao (the original one), for some unknown purpose, actually offered him a high salary to hire him.

Under the sect, he was even made a housekeeper.

But now Zhuge Weidao knows that the original "himself" is a fox that has become a spirit. It must be reasonable for him to be so kind to this Yu housekeeper. This Yu De must be his confidant!

So Zhuge Weidao also bowed his hands to Yu Xiaoqian: "Xiaoqian, how is everything going at home?"

"Okay, okay, everything is fine at home." Yu Xiaoqian looked at Zhuge Weidao with some worry, "Dong Weng, yesterday Baozhi and Mu Ru came over and said that your head was injured and you forgot many things?"

"Indeed," Zhuge Weidao nodded and sighed, "Xiao Qian, I will have to ask you for advice later."

"Dong Weng, what you said is exaggerated." As Yu De spoke, he called two servants, carried Zhuge Weidao's luggage in, and then made a "please come in" gesture to ask for it.

Bring the two brothers Zhuge Dao and Xue into the house.

But Zhuge Weixue said to his brother: "Daozi, Brother Yu, if you have something to do, I won't go in. You have a good night's rest. Something will happen tomorrow. In addition, if there is anything you don't remember, just ask Xiaoqian, he knows everything."

.”

Know everything?

Be sure to ask carefully!

When Zhuge Weidao thought of this, he stopped being polite to his brother, said goodbye to him, and then followed Yu De into the house alone.

Entering the house, Zhuge Weidao couldn't help but sigh in his heart - it's so big! Think about the house prices in Beijing two hundred years from now. Just this house, I really don't know how many small targets it will cost? Even if it's just here

Now, the price of this house is probably quite high, right?

In this Zhuge family, it’s so easy to make money by using cheat codes!

After sighing with emotion, he wandered around his house again with his hands behind his back. He had to take a good look at his property. The house occupies a really large area. It is not an ordinary courtyard house at all, but a courtyard within a courtyard.

There are small gardens one after another, and every plant and tree is full of care. There is also the faint sound of horses and mules neighing behind. There are four male servants in the house, all of them are tall and strong. There are five female maids.

They were all Japanese maids. When they saw Zhuge passing by, they all bowed respectfully.

Zhuge Weidao knew that those Japanese maidservants were specially trained by the Zhuge family to serve their masters. They were not only proficient in housework and well-behaved. In addition, they were all illiterate and could do nothing but serve their masters. They could not even survive independently after leaving the Zhuge family.

All difficult.

Of course, the Zhuge family will also support them in their old age and bury them, so that they can live a lifetime of food and clothing. Therefore, these Japanese maids are also very loyal to the Zhuge family, and have no impression of the country where they were born.

Most of the maids in Zhuge Weidao's family were elderly. Only one looked young and beautiful, so Zhu Dajun took another look. Yu De, who was standing next to him, smiled and came up to him, "Dong Weng, that's Ah Li.

"She was just delivered at noon today. She is only sixteen years old. Do you want to arrange for her to serve you tonight?"

Zhuge Weidao immediately understood that this was one of the benefits of being a military advisor!

It’s so feudal! No wonder King Wu Zhong in the painting is so angry.

"No, I just want to have a good rest." Zhuge Weidao glanced at Ah Li again, it was really good!

Yu De smiled and said: "Yes, yes, you will go to the palace to see the Queen Mother tomorrow!"

Zhuge Weidao was stunned. What does this have to do with meeting the Queen Mother?

Thinking of this, he looked around and found that no one else was present, so he lowered his voice and asked: "Xiao Qian, do I have a good relationship with the Queen Mother?"

"Okay!" Yu De said with a smile, "The Queen Mother is your god-sister, and the Queen Mother's brother Zheng Guoxian is your brother. Just now, Mr. Zheng's family came here to inquire and ask if you have gone home!"

"Then the Queen Mother and I?" Zhuge Weidao always felt that there was something wrong with his relationship with the Queen Mother, "Are we particularly close?"

Yu De nodded and said: "Yes, you two are very close! You two are family friends. You have known each other since you were young and are very close. Although she is six years older than you, you two can still play together."

This doesn’t sound right!

Zhuge Weidao frowned and thought to himself: "Is this Zhuge Weidao going to have anything to do with the Queen Mother?"

Just as he was about to inquire more carefully with Yu De, a family member suddenly ran in like flying in and saluted Zhuge Weidao: "Second Master, the thirty-eighth master of the Zheng family is here."

The thirty-eighth master of the Zheng family?

As soon as Zhuge Weidao heard the number of "Master", he had a headache. Why are these numbers so big? He is the One Hundred and Eighth Master, and now there is the Zheng Thirty-eighth Master, one of the eight great families for more than a hundred years.

How many "ye" were made in total?

Seeing Zhuge Weidao in a daze, Yu De knew that he had forgotten who Master Zheng Sanba was?

"Dong Weng," Yu De said with a smile, "Master Zheng Sanba is Zheng Guoxian, the biological brother of the Queen Mother. His nickname is Shenshan. He is also a major of Jinyiwei and the imperial guard."

"Then I have to welcome him." Zhuge Weidao knew that he could not avoid this person, even if he had no impression of Master Zheng Sanba in his mind.

As for the Empress Dowager Zheng, she couldn't hide from her. Natalie was holding her in her hands!

So he straightened his robes, and said to De Dao, "Get ready for the family banquet."

"yes."

"Brother Daozi, brother Daozi, do you still recognize my little brother?"

When a white-faced scholar with handsome features and a mustache saw Zhuge Weidao coming out of the mansion, he clasped his fists and asked loudly.

Of course Zhuge Weidao didn't recognize this pretty boy with an unshaven beard, but he still smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Holy Mountain, Brother Yu suffered a head injury and has forgotten many things, but he still remembers you as a good brother."

"That's great!" Of course this pretty boy was Zheng Guoxian from the Zheng family. He looked Zhuge Weidao up and down and said with a smile, "Brother Daozi's injury is better?"

"The injury has healed," Zhuge Weidao said with a smile, "but the memory is still not fully restored. Brother Shenshan, this is not the place to talk. Please come inside! You and I haven't seen each other for many days. Let's have a few drinks today."

"Okay, okay, I'll excuse you." As he spoke, Zheng Guoxian took a box from the accompanying servant and handed it to Yu De with a smile, who came out with Zhuge Weidao. Needless to say, he knew what was inside.

It must be some kind of ginseng, deer antler or other tonic.

After Zheng Guoxian delivered the tonic, he and Zhuge Weidao walked hand in hand and entered the mansion together - it was he who took the initiative to hold hands with Zhuge Weidao. Zhuge Weidao was a little unaccustomed to having two grown men with both hands.

Not tender, both of them have calluses on their hands, obviously they are both martial arts practitioners who often practice martial arts and shooting.

It was still early and it was not time for dinner, so the two men sat in the second hall, drinking tea and talking. The one who accompanied them was the new Ah Li.

Of course Zheng Guoxian also knew the rules of the Zhuge family (in fact, all the eight major families were almost rotten), so he was a little dazed when he saw the newcomer Ali. After a few words of greetings with Zhuge, he started to inquire: "Daozi, how many members of your family are there?"

The senior military advisor didn't blame you for pushing Rakshasa and Britain together, right?"

"How is it possible not to blame?" Zhuge Weidao smiled bitterly, "Several old men said that I ruined the overall situation of the United Luo to control the British and wanted me to go to Nanyang to become the owner of the manor!"

"Oh," Zheng Guoxian nodded, "How did Brother Daozi solve this problem?"

Zhuge Weidao sighed and pointed to his head, "They also know that my place is not very good and they have forgotten some things. Moreover, when I passed by the Kingdom of Jin, I also gave Emperor Daoguang a gift to break his fate.

A clever move, it can be said that the merits and demerits are balanced, and you are still somewhat wealthy."

"Destroy Emperor Daoguang's miserable life?" Zheng Guoxian was stunned, "How?"

Zhuge Weidao smiled and said: "Of course I will let Emperor Daoguang lead his troops to India to beg for food from the British."

"Leading soldiers to beg for food? You mean robbing, right?"

"It's not robbing, it's harassment, it's asking for market rewards and annual gifts."

Zheng Guoxian frowned: "It is impossible for the British to give up the dignity of the British Empire? No one in the world will regard city rewards and annual gifts as evidence of Britain's wealth and strength!"

Zhuge Weidao smiled bitterly and said: "Those old men also said the same thing. But I assure them, it is hard to say whether this Emperor Daoguang can get money, but he will definitely penetrate his claws deep into India and introduce the British army.

Afghanistan or Central Asia.”

"What did those military advisors say?"

Zhuge Weidao looked helpless and spread his hands, "They asked me to handle this matter by myself. Within three years, the war between the Jin Empire and the British must be intensified. Otherwise,"

As he spoke, Zhuge Weidao sighed again.

"This matter is difficult to handle!" Zheng Guoxian rolled his eyes, "But it's not like no one can help."

"Who? Who can help me?" Zhuge Weidao looked at Zheng Guoxian.

"The Queen Mother!" Zheng Guoxian said, "Brother Daozi, to be honest, I was sent by the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother wants to invite you to the palace for a brief talk."
