"General Guan, Grand Administrator Guan, and Marquis Guan, please explain to me, what exactly did you tell the lord?!"
Zhang Xi broke into Guan Yu's study and was so anxious that he questioned Guan Yu by changing his names three times.
Anyway, I live in Guan Mansion now, and Guan Yu's study is easy to find.
Guan Yu was slightly dissatisfied with Zhang Xi's intrusive behavior, but he thought that this guy was also a county magistrate, so he gave him some face and replied, "I've said it bluntly, and there is no lie in it."
If there is no falsehood, there will be ghosts.
When I left Youjiangkou, I was obviously discussing the marriage between my lord and Sun Shangxiang. Why is it that now that Sun Qian is on a mission to Jiangdong, he wants to propose marriage to me? !
Zhang Xi really couldn't understand, so he simply asked directly, "Sun Zhengyi just came from Youjiangkou, but he came to me specifically and said that he went to Jiangdong this time to propose marriage to me. How could there be such a change?!"
Why? !
Don't you have any idea? !
Guan Yu put down the book in his hand, looked at Zhang Xi, and said dissatisfiedly, "Yuan Chang, you are also a county magistrate. There are some things you must dare to do."
"No, Lord, what do you mean?! Why don't I dare to take the risk?!"
This was true, and Zhang Xi was stunned.
Guan Yu was too lazy to talk nonsense to Zhang Xi, and directly scolded, "Sun's daughter went from Jiangling to Xiakou for you, don't you have any responsibility?! If you don't back down, think carefully!!!"
This is going to blow Zhang Xi out directly.
Logically speaking, since Guan Yu's words have reached this point, Zhang Xi should follow the rules and bow out. But it really can't be done. This matter is related to his reputation and his status in Liu Bei's army. , it’s more about my wife.
"Junhou, please tell me how you explained this matter to your lord?!" Zhang Xi bowed and asked Guan Yu again.
Guan Yu put down the book in his hand again and looked at Zhang Xi with squinted eyes.
But this time, Zhang Xi did not flinch, but looked at Guan Yu.
"That's alright!" Guan Yu sighed and said, "It's just a trivial matter to tell the truth to my eldest brother, with a little embellishment."
"General, please clarify!" Zhang Xi saluted again and said,
I can’t believe it’s such a small thing! !
"I told my elder brother that you escorted Sun's daughter to Jiangling. It was true. However, it was also true that Sun's daughter left Jiangling and went to Xiakou. If he didn't fall in love with you, how could he do such a thing?! "
Guan Yu said seriously.
Zhang Xi immediately opened his mouth and looked at Guan Yu's face, wondering if this guy would blush if he lied like this? !
Hmm. It's quite red.
Well, this guy is born with a red face.
"Why did you make such a fallacy?!" Zhang Xi suddenly said aggrievedly, "Miss Sun fled Jiangling because she did not want to marry. Isn't it true?"
"Don't you know?!" Guan Yu suddenly glared at Zhang Xi and said, "How can I tell my elder brother about this?!"
Uh. Okay, you have a point.
"Furthermore, Sun's daughter did not seek refuge elsewhere, but came to you. Isn't her intention self-evident?!" Guan Yu continued to emphasize.
Uh. If you insist on saying that, it seems to be unreasonable. Is it possible that that girl really likes me? !
"Furthermore, Sun Zheng also brought a letter from his eldest brother from Youjiangkou. The eldest brother didn't want to marry Jiangdong, but he couldn't refuse. This time I propose marriage for you. If it succeeds, you will get a daughter from a famous family as your head wife. If it doesn't succeed, Sun My daughter can also return to Jiangdong without losing the loyalty of your friends. This is the best of both worlds, why can't we do it?!"
"."
What you said makes sense, what the hell... is my wife decided by you so easily? !
"Furthermore, you are from a poor family, and Sun Zhongmou has a childish mentality. According to a certain family, this matter cannot be accomplished." Guan Yu finally said, "It only takes a few days, so you just sit back and wait for Sun Zhongmou to return from Jiangdong. You can then go back to your home, and it is up to you to decide whether to resettle Sun's daughter or send her back to Jiangdong."
Zhang Xi was speechless now.
As for the matter, Guan Yu has made it very clear. In this situation, he can no longer decide on his own marriage. Liu Bei needs such an excuse to refuse Jiangdong's marriage, and the Sun Shangxiang matter also needs to be resolved with dignity. Way.
This is the final result of how things have developed now.
Again, in the face of group interests, no one will consider the ideas of the parties concerned.
Even in Guan Yu's view, it was normal for Sun Quan not to agree to the marriage. If Sun Quan agreed to marry his sister to Zhang Xi, Zhang Xi would be getting a big advantage.
When people in this era think about marriage, they will consider beauty, family background, and whether they can manage the household well, but they will never put the relationship between the two in the first place.
In this era, wives like Zhang Fei who were obtained by robbing civilian girls can live in harmony with each other for the rest of their lives, and relationships have never been important.
Only Zhang Xi, a time traveler, likes to be pretentious about this kind of thing.
This is the biggest generation gap between Zhang Xi and people of this generation.
Zhang Xi really can't convince himself to be a stallion. When he sees a girl, he hugs her into his room. It's really no different from an animal.
But the reality of this era is like this, especially for people with a certain social status like Zhang Xi. Their marriages are often mixed with many complicated factors, and even Zhuge Liang is not exempt from this.
So, accept your fate.
I hope that just as Guan Yu said, Sun Quan dislikes that Zhang Xi comes from a poor family, so he can just reject him. At least he doesn't have to worry about regretting Sun Shangxiang.
Although I once had the illusion that this girl also liked me.
But if you think about it calmly, you will realize that this is impossible. It is simply because this girl has no one to go to except herself.
So I continue to live in Guan Mansion. If I have something to do, I go to the government office to handle official duties. After get off work, I go back to Guan Mansion to teach little Deng Ai and wait for the final result of this matter.
Speaking of which, Deng Ai had almost learned the "Book of Rites", so Zhang Xi began to borrow Guan Yu's "Spring and Autumn Annals of the Zuo Family" to copy and engrave for young Deng Ai, and then explained it.
Another mystery solved.
Guan Yu read "Chun Qiu" at night, and what he read was not the original "Chun Qiu" at all, but the "Chun Qiu Zuo Shi Zhuan", which was later known as "Zuo Zhuan".
"Chun Qiu" is the original text, and "Chun Qiu Zuo Shi Zhuan" is an annotation of "Chun Qiu", which is equivalent to a reference book.
If he really read "Spring and Autumn", Zhang Xi would have doubted whether Guan Yu was just pretending. That thing was so "subtle and righteous" that most people really couldn't understand it.
For example: "Spring and Autumn" records in the first year of Lu Yin: In the fifth month of summer, Zheng Beke Duan Yu Yan.
There are nine words in total, which is the original text.
The explanation of this matter in "Zuo Zhuan" is nearly 700 words in classical Chinese.
When Zhang Xi taught Xiao Deng Ai, he not only had to explain the entire story process, but also explained the background of the event, the meaning and influence of what happened at the time, the principles contained in it, and the actual application cases. These nine words are all it takes. , Zhang Xi talked to little Deng Ai for a whole day.
Zhang Xi was so thirsty when he was talking about it that he didn't even know that there was one more person listening.
As for this spectator, his surname is Guan, his given name is Xing, and his courtesy name is Anguo, the second son of Guan Yu. He is sixteen years old this year.
Unlike his eldest brother Guan Ping, Guan Xing has not liked martial arts since he was a child, and prefers to study literature. However, Guan Yu lives a chaotic life following Liu Bei, and it is really impossible to find a reliable teacher for him.
Therefore, Guan Xing's enlightenment and literacy were taught by Guan Yu himself.
As for the Guan family, the heirloom book must be "Zuo Zhuan". Guan Xing has been memorizing it since he was a child, and he will also listen to his father's explanations.
But my father’s explanation was really not as good as Mr. Zhang’s.
His father would only tell him what happened, which was almost the same as the original text in the book. Once he understood it, he understood it. If he didn't understand, his father wouldn't know how to explain it to Guan Xing.
He would not be like Mr. Zhang, who told a lot of things he didn't know from beginning to end, but still used storytelling to impart knowledge.
So, when he happened to pass by Zhang Xi's room and heard Zhang Xi teaching "Zuo Zhuan" to little Deng Ai, Guan Xing was fascinated for a while.
The next day, Guan Xing asked his father that he could become Zhang Xi's teacher and study "Zuo Zhuan".
When Guan Yu heard this, he almost hung up Guan Xing and beat him.
What's the meaning? !
Your father and I have been reading "Zuo's Spring and Autumn" for half my life, but in the end you want an outsider to teach you "Zuo's Spring and Autumn". What do you mean, do you think your father and I have been reading "Zuo's Spring and Autumn" for half my life? went? !
Reading "Spring and Autumn" at night is your father's and my signature. "Chun Qiu Zuo's Biography" is also our family's heirloom. Are you going to make your father angry to death? !
Originally, Guan Yu had a strong opinion on Guan Xingxi's literary distaste for martial arts. It would not be a bad thing to read some books, but it is wrong to be dissatisfied with martial arts. Our Guan family is a military general.
Now this kid is actually questioning his teaching standards in "Zuo Zhuan". Really, if Guan Ping hadn't come back in time, Guan Xing would have been beaten.
Then, Guan Yu, like other parents, started to have opinions on Zhang Xi.
I kindly lend you "Zuo Zhuan" because you are a disciple from a poor family and don't have any books to read at home. I lend it to you to increase your knowledge, and also to allow you to teach students.
It's good now, but you actually kidnapped my son and believed in your lies? !
Guan Yu said that he wanted to have a good talk with Zhang Xi to see who had done more in-depth research on "Zuo Zhuan".
Then. Guan Yu agreed to Guan Xing's attendance at Zhang Xi's lecture.
Whether Zhang Xi agrees or not is not important.
Your food and accommodation are all in the Guan family, and the professor's textbooks are kindly provided to you. If they don't give them to you, how can you, a disciple from a poor family, have the ability to access such a collection of books.
Besides, we are all believers. One sheep is herded, and two sheep are herded, right?
