Among the figures of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang's fame should be the first, which is not controversial. Because of the portrayal of Zhuge Liang in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", his image is multi-wise and almost demon, becoming a half-immortal character that the common people are talking about, with clever calculations, able to speak the Tao, and can be fried and explosive. Zhuge Liang is not only brilliant in wisdom and strategy, but also a big handsome man himself. The book says that Zhuge Liang was eight feet long and had a great appearance. Both talented and good-looking, he is simply an idol-level figure. With this resource, Zhuge Liang has a very high self-esteem and often compares himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi.
Since Zhuge Liang himself has such excellent conditions and is pretentious, he should be very critical of marriage. However, Zhuge Liang eventually married Huang Yueying. When his father-in-law Huang Chengyan proposed to Zhuge Chengyan, he told him truthfully, saying that if you want to find a daughter-in-law, I will introduce my daughter-in-law to you. Although my girlfriend has a yellow head and black head, she is absolutely worthy of you Zhuge Liang. Huang Yueying's appearance is very general, and from the perspective of appearance, it is completely incompatible with Zhuge Liang. So Zhuge Liang married Huang Yueying, only because "talent is compatible", did he see her talent? There should be reasons for this, but not entirely.
Zhuge Liang is a very talented person, and his greatest wish is to have a stage where he can display his talents to the fullest. However, although Zhuge Liang compared himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi, people at that time did not approve of it, believing that Zhuge Liang was bragging. This is actually easier to understand, although Zhuge Liang's ancestors were cattle, but by Zhuge Liang's generation, the family has declined. Zhuge Liang's uncle Zhuge Xuan had previously served as an official under Yuan Shu, which was criticized by ShiLin and his reputation was not good. Therefore, for Zhuge Liang, it is not easy to regain the recognition of high society.
Although Huang Yueying's appearance is average, her family lineage is really unusual. Let's take a look at the historical records, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Cai clan was very strong, Cai Xie's sister married the taiwei Zhang Wen, the eldest daughter was Huang Chengyan's wife, and the younger daughter was Liu Jingsheng's step-wife, that is, Lady Cai, who repeatedly wanted to harm liu Qi, and Cai Mao's sister. At the same time, Zhang Wen, the eunuch of the late Han Dynasty, was their son-in-law, and so was Liu Biao, the Mu of Jingzhou. Moreover, the Cai family and Cao Cao also had a friendship. This makes it clear that the Cai family was the top magnate at that time, and there were many connections with the upper circle of the entire late Han Dynasty at that time. Zhuge Liang married Huang Yueying and became Liu Biao's niece and son-in-law, and his entire circle of friends was completely different. Since ancient times, in the Eastern world, people have to talk about interpersonal relationships.
It can be said that Zhuge Liang was able to get to know more high-level people through Huang Chengyan's social circle, and finally he would make his own name and finally be recommended to Liu Bei. In addition, at that time, the traffic was not developed, all kinds of news were relatively closed, Zhuge Liang could understand the general trend of the world, which was certainly not something that ordinary hermits could do. And his identity as the son-in-law of the Huang family must have played a huge role in Zhuge Liang's timely grasp of various intelligence. If nothing else, the map that Zhuge Liang hung up when he was in "Longzhong Pair" came from a very suspicious source. If there were no special resources, how could Zhuge Liang, who did not leave his home, get such a professional map?
Therefore, Zhuge Liang married Huang Yueying, did not care about her average looks, in addition to being talented, the most important thing was to value the help of her family lineage to herself. However, Zhuge Liang himself was talented, and he did not do this as a conspiracy by any means. Zhuge Liang knows how to borrow power to carry out self-packaging and publicity, which is beyond reproach. Zhuge Liang has also been very specific to Huang Yueying later, and has never made any scandals. The two people have always been very affectionate, and it can be regarded as a very happy marriage.
