During the Three Kingdoms period, there were many heroes, how many heroes competed in the world, and there were many red faces and pink dailies around them, achieving a period of troubled times.
Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Zhen Mi, Cai Wenji...... They are all beautiful and talented Gone with the Wind, and they also make this history full of intrigue and gunsmoke more tender and embarrassing.
As the famous prime minister of Shu through the ages, Zhuge Liang's status in the Three Kingdoms period is undoubted, in addition to his talent, he is also an outstanding handsome guy.
The description of him in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" is: eight feet long, with a face like a crown of jade, wearing a scarf on his head, wearing a crane, fluttering and having the general appearance of a fairy, it can be seen that he is a great man with a dignified appearance.
But he is such a handsome top strategist, but he married an ugly wife, and never took a concubine in his life, and he never took a concubine to his wife.
How did this woman named Huang Yueying conquer the heart of the prime minister of Shu Han?
In fact, the real name of Zhuge Liang's wife in history cannot be verified, Huang Yueying is the name given to her by later generations, but the story between her and Zhuge Liang can be traced.
Zhuge Liang was originally a native of Langya County, Xuzhou, which is now Langya Town, Qingdao, Shandong, and was born in the family of the eunuch, but his parents died early when he was young, so he had to follow his uncle to Liu Biao in Jingzhou.
As an outsider, the young Zhuge Liang did not have a low-key consciousness, but often compared himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi, making the people around him think that he was arrogant and uninhibited, but there were also a few celebrities who did not think so, but were willing to associate with him.
Among them is Xiangyang celebrity Huang Chengyan, Huang Chengyan is Cai Wei's son-in-law, Cai Wei's son is Cai Mao, the commander of the Jingzhou Water Army, Cai Mao's sister married Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou, this Huang Chengyan can be described as a proper "imperial relative" on the ground in Jingzhou.
Zhuge Liang was only 16 years old at that time, Huang Chengyan admired the talent of this young man very much, so he had the idea of befriending, and just when his daughter reached the age of marriage, he recommended it to Zhuge Liang.
This old father is also sincere, and said directly to Zhuge Liang, I have a daughter who is not good-looking, with yellow hair and black skin, but her talent can match you.
Zhuge Liang didn't pay attention to appearance, and felt that if he was really talented, he would be a good wife, so he hired three media and six times, and came to ask for marriage.

The first time they met, when they were leaving, Huang Yueying generously gave him a feather fan, and Zhuge Liang didn't know what it meant for a while.
Huang Yueying told him that when he was chatting with his father just now, when he talked about the world's major events, his expression was excited, his eyebrows fluttered, and when he talked about Cao Cao, Sun Quan and others, he frowned and worried, with this fan, he could use it to cover his face.
Zhuge Liang suddenly understood Huang Yueying's intentions, which was reminding himself.
Those who have achieved great things should be happy and angry, and their emotions cannot be easily spied on by others, Zhuge Liang immediately thanked Huang Yueying, and his favorability towards this ugly girl was instantly full.
Since then, this feather fan has become Zhuge Liang's personal thing, and it has also achieved the elegant image of his lupine scarf.
After getting married, the husband and wife were in love, Huang Yueying not only read poetry and books, but also gave Zhuge Liang a lot of advice, and also had a unique skill that made Zhuge Liang amazed.
When they got married, Zhuge Liang and his wife did not have any property, and all the housework had to be done by themselves.
One day, many friends came to Zhuge Liang's house as guests, Huang Yueying was cooking in the kitchen alone, and it didn't take long for a table of meals to be ready, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but secretly wonder, this efficiency is too high.
Later, Zhuge Liang invited a lot of friends again and deliberately asked Huang Yueying to prepare the meal quickly, in fact, he wanted to deliberately embarrass his wife and see how she coped.
Zhuge Liang quietly followed his wife to the back kitchen, only to find that his wife actually made a lot of wooden figures and Trojan horses that could move by herself, and these "robots" could help his wife work, and the efficiency was naturally greatly improved.
After finishing the work, his wife disassembled these wooden figures and wooden horses and put them into the cabinet, without seeing the secret at all.
Huang Yueying naturally agreed, and it was on the basis of these skills that Zhuge Liang later invented the wooden ox and flowing horse.
Zhuge Liang's father-in-law also gave him a lot of help, and in the Jingzhou celebrity circle, he vigorously promoted how talented his son-in-law was, which made Zhuge Liang gradually famous, and finally successfully attracted Liu Bei's attention, and there was the story of "three visits to the thatched house".
But the marriage between the two was not all satisfactory, and giving birth to offspring became a big problem, and Zhuge Liang did not have his first son Zhuge Zhan until he was 46 years old.
Before that, he succeeded his brother Zhuge Jin's son Zhuge Qiao to his name, and even so, he didn't want to take a concubine.
With the social customs at that time, it was a very serious matter to have no offspring, if the woman had no heirs, she would be divorced, at least she would marry a few more concubines for her husband, but Zhuge Liang never had this thought.
Objectively speaking, when such a problem occurs, Huang Yueying will definitely be sad, which is determined by the historical conditions at that time, but Zhuge Liang insists on not giving up on Huang Yueying, which shows the status of this ugly wife in his mind.
As the saying goes, "I wish to win the heart of one person, and the white head is not separated", when the two are happy, Zhuge Liang's eyes and hearts are all occupied by his wife, where can he still tolerate others, I have to say that Zhuge Liang's feelings for his wife, even now, are really moving.
Huang Yueying's feelings for Zhuge Liang are more reflected in "understanding you", she not only takes care of Zhuge Liang's life, but also expresses some views on national affairs from time to time, and gives her husband some advice from a woman's perspective.
After Zhuge Liang followed Liu Bei, he often moved to the north and south, and the husband and wife began to get together less and leave more, and many people began to "stuff women" to Zhuge Liang, but they were all rejected by Zhuge Liang one by one.
After a long time, no one mentioned this matter again, and Zhuge Liang never let his wife have been embarrassed in this regard.
Zhuge Liang once said to Liu Chan that when he dies, he must "not make it possible to have surplus silk inside, and there will be wealth outside", which means that there will be no excess property at home, and there will be no remaining property outside, Huang Yueying also unconditionally supports her husband's approach.
The two of them have achieved a perfect blend in the spiritual world, interesting souls collide together, and they will never be separated again, no matter how much fame and fortune in the world, for them, they are not as affectionate as their lovers.
The "ugly girl" in the eyes of the world, in the eyes of Zhuge Liang, is the most beautiful woman in the world.
Since Huang Yueying married Zhuge Liang, she has almost no idle days, and her health has not been very good due to her perennial work.
This made Zhuge Liang sad, and the couple, who had been in love all their lives, finally failed to grow old together.
Of course, the story of Zhuge Liang's wife is very limited in the official history, and there is a certain element of folklore.
But in history, Zhuge Liang really didn't have any romantic affairs, and he poured more energy into state affairs, so his family could be harmonious and happy, and his wife was definitely inseparable.
