Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 89 You Can Know My Zhuge Lineage, My Family Origin
The court meeting dispersed, and Sun Quan left Lu Su alone.

Sun Quan's face turned back to the cold and grumpy one at the beginning, and he asked in a deep voice, "How does Zijing feel?"

Lu Su cupped his hands, "I don't know which one Wu Hou is talking about? Zhuge Ziyu and his son, or... the current situation in Soochow?"

Sun Quan pondered, "There are both, you can talk about them separately."

Lu Su showed a bit of worry, "Just now Marquis Wu led the donkey out, it's too much. If Zhuge Ke hadn't rescued him, Zhuge Ziyu would have suffered great shame and humiliation!"

"What's more, nowadays, because of the Hefei bet, there has been a lot of rumors in the market, and some people say that this is a game set up by Zhuge Ziyu and his younger brother Zhuge Liang... Although Su knows that Ziyu is not such a two-faced, two-faced, two-faced and three-faced man. People, it is inevitable that I have suffered such a shame and humiliation this time, and I feel resentment... Maybe, maybe... I will be unfaithful to the lord!"

Before Lu Su could express all the worries in his heart, Sun Quan interrupted: "Don't be afraid, Ziyu, Gu and Ziyu's monarch and minister have made a vow of death and life for many years. Ziyu lives up to Gu, just like Gu lives up to Ziyu... He is a man who does not do what is right, does not say what is wrong, is kind like flesh and blood, and understands each other deeply."

"When Kong Ming visited the country of Wu, I asked Ziyu to keep him. Ziyu said to me: 'My brother has followed others, and he has no ambiguity. My brother will not stay, just like I will not leave.' These words Others don't believe it, but I believe in him alone! No one else has been with the lonely god like Tzuyu for a long time, this is not a 'humiliation' that can be changed! Tzuyu is to me, life and death will never change!"

Speaking of this, Sun Quan paused for a moment, his tone became more and more serious, and he pondered: "Zhang Liao is so powerful that Xiaoyaojin is shocked, and the [-]-strong army is frightened... the whole Soochow, only he can bear the title of 'incompetent' for Gu , Stop that gossip!"

"Bang" punch.

Seems to have touched the sore spot, Sun Quan suddenly hit the table.

The missing corner of the desk is especially clear.

Lu Su sighed...

He said with emotion: "Admonish but not offend, be righteous but not resolute, order the public court, and forget the private position...Zhuge Ziyu can be regarded as a celebrity, but..."

Following his praise to Zhuge Jin, a "just" changed the subject abruptly.

Sun Quan raised his eyes, "Zijing is worried...Zhuge Yuanxun (Zhuge Ke), a young man who has not yet reached the crown?"

"Beautiful jade in Lantian, the words are so good..." Lu Su said with emotion: "In the entire Soochow, young people like him at his age? Who can be so wise? But... such a talented person is often too sharp, and it is inevitable that he will be wronged."

"Hehe..." Sure enough, Sun Quan's eyes turned cold, he pondered for a moment, and then said: "Is it really wise?"

"What does Marquis Wu mean?"

"This is Zhuge Jin...'s donkey!" Sun Quan put the emphasis on the word "zhidonkey", and he said frankly: "If I were him, Zhuge Ke, I would never add that sum!"

Speaking of here…

Sun Quan's eyes suddenly became sharp.

Lu Su also shook his head slightly.

This son is too sharp and doesn't know how to hide... It's a misfortune rather than a blessing!
...

...

By the river, the flowing water is gurgling, and the sun is falling into the sun. Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Ke, one big and one small, are holding fishing rods together, watching the water surface dyed red by the setting sun.

Zhuge Jin had already taken off his official robe, and replaced it with a short jacket of coarse cloth that only a "white body" would have, with his sleeves rolled up.

Zhuge Ke was a little careless...as if he didn't think about fishing at all.

Zhuge Jin spoke first, "Do you know why I brought you here to fish?"

Zhuge Ke didn't hesitate to think, "All the sages in ancient times loved fishing. Why is Jiang Taigong still fishing at eighty? My father took me to pursue the sages!"

"Hehe..." Zhuge Jin laughed, but gradually, the laughter turned into a wry smile.

"What's wrong with father?" Zhuge Ke noticed the change in Zhuge Jin's expression and asked quickly.

Zhuge Jin said with emotion: "Jiang Taigong fished to wait for King Zhou Wen, but just now, my son lost his father, King Zhou Wen!"

This…

Zhuge Ke retorted: "Although he obeys his advice, he has no sense of responsibility. What's the use of using others to stand in the way? If King Wen of Zhou is like this, Jiang Taigong was defeated six times. Wouldn't he be humiliated by King Wen of Zhou?" What about six times?"

Zhuge Jin laughed: "King Wen of Zhou got angry and took out Jiang Ziya's anger, but Jiang Ziya's son was not convinced, so he also took out Jiang Ziya's anger!"

There is no taboo between this pair of Zhuge father and son...

Talk about whatever comes to mind.

What about Jiang Taigong, Zhou Wenwang, what is convincing, venting... everything can be said.

"The child is just worthless for the father!" Zhuge Ke pouted, "Second Uncle is at Uncle Liu Huang's, how did he ever suffer this kind of grievance? When I go back later, I will kill the donkey, and we will eat donkey meat tonight."

"That donkey, Marquis Wu named it 'Zhuge Jin', how could he just kill it?" Zhuge Jin said with emotion.

"After killing and eating, Jiang Dong's father will die. The father who survived will join me in voting for Uncle Liu... let Sun Quan regret it!"

Zhuge Ke is indeed talented, but talented people are often very conceited, and they have their own strength of character.

He can endure until now, enough to give face to his father and Sun Quan.

Zhuge Jin, on the other hand, spoke more and more earnestly, "When others praise my son, my son always says, 'You can know that I am a Zhuge family, and I have a family background'... But you know, what is a Zhuge family? What is a family history?"

This…

Zhuge Ke blinked his eyes, ready to listen to a long speech.

Zhuge Jin spoke frankly: "My Zhuge family lived in Langya, Xuzhou for generations. Our ancestor Zhugefeng was intelligent since he was a child. He read scriptures and history. Like you, he was hailed as a child prodigy. However, because of his upright temperament, he hated corrupt officials and flattering villains to the bone, and was demoted to the school captain of the city gate because of the impeachment of powerful officials, and was soon dismissed from office and demoted to a commoner!"

"Afterwards he gave birth to two sons...the eldest son is your grandfather Zhuge Gui, and the second son is Zhuge Xuan, the father of your younger brother Zhuge Dan...Among them, your grandfather was the magistrate of Taishan County, and later because of his upright temperament, he impeached the powerful officials and died. was killed. When he died, your father and I were only 13 years old, and your uncle Kong Ming was only eight years old..."

"As for my uncle Xuan, he served as an official of Yuan Shu, and even served as the prefect of Yuzhang... But because he didn't know the master, after Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor and fell, he was replaced by another person from the court, and the Zhuge clan fell into decline."

Zhuge Jin talked eloquently, but Zhuge Ke blinked his eyes, a little confused.

"Why did father say these things?"

Zhuge Jin didn't explain, just continued, "Didn't you find out? From the ancestor Zhuge Feng to your grandfather Gui and grandfather Xuan, has my Zhuge clan ever risen? Has it ever prospered? This is because What?"

"Because..." Zhuge Ke originally wanted to say that it was because his ancestors and grandfathers were upright and did not know the art of flattery.

But after thinking about it, he felt wrong again, "My child knows, my Zhuge family has never had a backer! Or... like grandfather Xuan, he chose the wrong backer!"

"Good!" Zhuge Jin was gratified that his son could realize this, "It is because my Zhuge family has no backer and chose the wrong backer, which makes my Zhuge family never able to rank among the famous families in the world. The pulse stretches through the ages, even if Gou Quan lives in troubled times, it is an extravagant hope."

"It is precisely because Grandfather Xuan understood this point that he specially asked my father, your second uncle, your third uncle, and your birth uncle...to explain his feelings in this troubled world and in this officialdom...In this troubled world, If the Zhuge clan is to continue forever, it must find a backer, but the world is in conflict? Who can judge who will win the battle in the end?"

"If you make the wrong choice like Yuan Shu, the Zhuge clan will be in a state of eternal doom... That's why, worried about making the wrong choice, you simply disperse to find, divide and defect to these princes, as long as there is a backer in Zhuge's lineage If you find the right one, relying on the origin of the Zhuge clan's family knowledge, you will definitely be able to make some achievements, and the family of the Zhuge clan will continue to prosper!"

Oh…

Hearing this, Zhuge Ke finally understood, "That's why the second uncle and third uncle defected to Uncle Liu Huang, and the birth uncle served as an official under Cao Cao in the northern border, but his father was in Soochow... under Wu Hou!"

"That's not all." Zhuge Jin continued: "Your eldest aunt married Kuai Qi, a famous family in Xiangyang, and your second aunt married Pang Shanmin, the son of Pang Degong, a famous scholar in Xiangyang. It's also for the Zhuge family! Otherwise, you would think that your second uncle's name is 'Wolong' Where did he come from? How did he worship Shui Jing as his teacher? And how did he become Uncle Liu's most trusted person when he first came here!"

understood…

Now, Zhuge Ke understood everything.

It's because his vision is narrow, his father's forbearance, his father's "smartness", it's not that his father is not competitive, and it's not that his father doesn't know that Cao Cao's side is more powerful, and Liu Huangshu's side is more respectful and virtuous...

Everything my father did was for the continuation of the Zhuge clan, which was a situation set up by the Zhuge clan in troubled times.

——The so-called Zhuge lineage, the origin of family learning!

This is just a boastful remark in Zhuge Ke's mouth.

But in the eyes of my father, my three uncles, and my two aunts, it was something I had to fight for all my life!

No wonder, at the time of Chibi, the second uncle would not go to Jiangdong, nor would the father go to Liu Huangshu, and the birthday uncle would always be an official in the north.

No wonder, father and second uncle are masters and spare no effort...

What they did was not only to show their talents, but also for the prosperity of the Zhuge clan!
Zhuge Ke was honest and emotional.

Zhuge Jin stood up abruptly and cheered, "Hurry up..."

It turned out that a fish had been hooked, and it was Zhuge Ke's fishing rod. Zhuge Ke stood up and slid the rod, and Zhuge Jin encouraged him, "My son, don't let it get away."

Zhuge Ke lifted it vigorously, and a fish flew out in an arc and fell to the grass.

Zhuge Jin hurriedly pressed it down, even smiling like an old father.

"I caught it, my son caught it, let me untie it for my father... let me untie it for my father."

Zhuge Jin was very excited.

Zhuge Ke smiled, realizing his father's painstaking efforts, and it was the first time he personally felt all that the Zhuge people had given for the prosperity of the family. He suddenly felt a lot heavier.

only…

It seems that these still can't influence his decision.

Zhuge Jin followed Zhuge Ke and laughed for a while, his expression slowly dimmed, and he turned his head to look at the river, lost in thought.

Zhuge Ke said empathetically, "I've already caught the fish, and King Wen of Zhou doesn't seem to be able to take the bait anymore. Father, let's go home! The children are hungry!"

Zhuge Jin nodded, looked at the fish in the basket, pondered for a long time, and then said earnestly.

"You caught this fish, and you have the final say on how to do it!"

The implication is that Zhuge Jin expressed his position.

His generation is destined to fight for the prosperity of Zhuge's lineage in the corner of Soochow.

He will never turn his back on Soochow.

But when it came to his son's generation, Zhuge Jin felt that he should not be too selfish, and he should choose his son's path.

Zhuge Ke blinked his eyes, "I haven't figured it out yet, but...I think it's fishing, but the Soochow King is by no means King Wen of Zhou that I'm waiting for!"

As soon as this statement comes out…

Zhuge Jin's expression darkened slightly, but he still nodded.

Ke'er is so talented, he should choose his own path in the future!
In fact, there was one more thing Zhuge Jin didn't tell Zhuge Ke.

That is... For so many years, Huang Yueying has never been released.

Kong Ming has mentioned several times that he longs for a son from his stepbrother...

Zhuge Jin originally planned to let the second son "Qiaoer" go.

嗏

Now, he is willing to give this choice to Ke'er!

Stay in Soochow...

Or go to Bashu, Ke'er, it's up to you!

(Ps: Historically, Zhuge Liang had no children in his early years. Zhuge Jin adopted his second son, Zhuge Qiao, to Zhuge Liang. Later, Zhuge Liang took a concubine before giving birth to his own son.)
...

...

The red sun was sinking little by little, and the vast land was about to fall into night.

When Guan Yu took Mi Fang and Ma Liang to the mansion of the thief Cao Jili, what he saw was a basin of water.

...a basin of water, this is nothing, but there is a person standing upside down on the basin, with his feet facing the sky and his hands on the ground.

Several yamen servants poured water from the basin on his head.

This way, it's like washing his hair!
Of course, this is no ordinary hair wash.

This is - wash your hair upside down.

While washing, this man refused to admit defeat and said: "I am willing to admit defeat. I, Guan Xing, want to be like my father, a man who keeps his word and promises, wash, continue washing..."

Uh…

Guan Xing?

Guan Yu heard Guan Xing's voice, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.

Inexplicably, he felt... At this time, Guan Yu actually felt a little ashamed when he heard Guan Xing say "to be a man who keeps his word and promises like his father".

This kid usually puts all his attention on martial arts, so he is a bit dull, but he can't... be so nonsense, right?

Washing your hair upside down is really embarrassing!
Guan Lin and Guan Ping were also there... Guan Lin sat on the official chair without saying a word, watching Guan Xing's performance with great interest.

Guan Ping stood at the door, covered his eyes, and couldn't bear to look directly!
The approach of Guan Yu, Mi Fang, and Ma Liang caught Guan Ping's attention, and he immediately handed over his hands, "Father...military advisor, prefect Mi..."

Guan Lin also noticed them, his eyes rolled.

What's going on today?Which gust of wind brought this strange "combination" over?

It is recorded in the history books, isn't it... Guan Yu and Mi Fangduo have disagreements?
Isn't that right?

Why are they standing so close today?This distance... feels like a close brother.

How do you look at it, this combination is a bit weird, right?

"Yun Chang, this..."

Mi Fang couldn't help asking, he was also a little confused, in the official office of the four young masters, the second young master washed his hair upside down, and the eldest young master couldn't bear to look directly at him, what's the trouble?
"Ahem..." Guan Yu deliberately "coughed"...

This coughing didn't matter, Guan Xing, who was washing his hair upside down, trembled all over, lost his balance and fell, his head fell into the basin.

The whole look is in a mess!

"Dad... (Gudu) Dad... (Gudu)..." Guan Xing raised his face, but the water in his mouth kept gushing out, "Gudu,

"Google" sounded continuously.

At this moment, he is like a frog spraying water.

Guan Yu's cheeks turned cold all of a sudden.

His tone was cold.

— "Can anyone tell me? What's going on here?"
