Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Chapter 47 Guan Feng’s exclamation: What can I ask for in this life if I can marry you?

Mrs. Hu glared at Guan Xing: "You will reach the top next year! What's so bad about learning that you have to learn from your fourth uncle?"

The fourth uncle mentioned by Guan Xing is Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun did not officially marry and have children until he was in his forties. Although there was a reason why he had not yet established his fame, the most important factor was that Zhao Yun had been wandering around in those years with no fixed place, so naturally he was unable to marry and have children.

Guan Xing was different. For Guan Xing, who had lived in Jiangling City for a long time, whether he wanted to marry and have children was not directly related to whether he wanted to achieve meritorious service.

It's just that Guan Xing prefers to practice martial arts on weekdays, hoping to stay by Guan Yu's side like his brother Guan Ping and be Guan Yu's right-hand man.

Therefore, he is not active in marrying a wife and having children.

This made Mrs. Hu heartbroken.

Zhuge Qiao defended Guan Xing and said, "I think men should be determined to pursue fame."

"With fame, my wife will have a smarter and more virtuous daughter-in-law, and she will also have a smarter and more heroic grandson."

When Guan Xing heard Zhuge Qiao's words, he immediately agreed: "Mom, you see, A Qiao has already said that you should first establish your fame and then talk about marriage."

"When the child has established a good reputation, I will find a smart and virtuous daughter-in-law for my mother."

Guan Yu sat in the main seat, gently stroking his beautiful beard, and did not interfere with Zhuge Qiao's conversation with Mrs. Hu and Guan Xing.

Seeing that Zhuge Qiao made Mrs. Hu and Guan Xing happy with just a few words, Guan Yu also admired Zhuge Qiao as his prospective son-in-law.

After being shy at first, Guan Feng regained her dignity and no longer looked away from Zhuge Qiao.

Zhuge Qiao took out another scroll of bamboo slips from his arms and came to Guan Feng's table: "I heard that Feng Ji likes to read "Poetry" and also likes the official style of the Xiping Stone Classic."

"This is the "Poetry" I copied in my spare time, including "Zhou Nan. Guan Ju", "Zheng Feng. Zijin", "Zheng Feng. Shang", "Zheng Feng. Cunning Boy", "Wang Feng. Picking Ge", "Wei "Feng. Papaya" six poems."

Guan Feng's pretty face turned red again.

"Poetry" is divided into "Wind", "Elegance" and "Song".

"Ya" is a sacrificial poem for nobles, mostly praying for good harvests and praising ancestors' virtues; "Ode" is a sacrificial poem for ancestral temples; and "Wind" is mostly folk songs about love, labor, etc.

The six poems Zhuge Qiao listed are all with the theme of love.

This intention is self-evident.

Guan Feng carefully took the bamboo slips and looked at Zhuge Qiao with a little more tenderness.

However, due to the fact that Guan Yu and others were present, although Guan Feng had many things to say to Zhuge Qiao, he could only endure it.

During the banquet.

Mrs. Hu frequently asked Zhuge Qiao questions, and Guan Xing also approached Zhuge Qiao from time to time to talk.

On the contrary, Guan Yu and Guan Ping rarely spoke during the banquet.

When they arrived at the banquet, Zhuge Qiao and Guan Feng looked at each other and excused themselves from the banquet to go to the toilet.

Guan Feng also got up and left the banquet temporarily on the pretext of putting the "Poetry" presented by Zhuge Qiao back into the room.

Guan Xing was worried that Zhuge Qiao could not find his way to the toilet. As soon as he got up, Guan Ping called him: "Brother Xing, come and chat with me for a few words."

Guan Xing didn't understand what he meant: "Brother, is there anything we must talk about now?"

Guan Ping emphasized his tone: "We have to talk now!"

Mrs. Hu got up, sat down at Guan Yu's seat, and talked to Guan Yu in a low voice.

Guan Yu, Mrs. Hu and Guan Ping both saw through Zhuge Qiao and Guan Feng's lame excuses and pretended not to know. Only Guan Xing, the stupid young man, was still scratching his head in confusion.

"If Xing'er is as smart as Aqiao, I don't have to worry about it." Mrs. Hu couldn't help but sigh when she saw that Guan Xing still looked confused after Guan Ping mentioned it. Guan Yu held the copper bottle and drank the water in one gulp: "Madam, what do you think Aqiao is like?"

Mrs. Hu opened the box and took out the brocade handkerchief with flying phoenix embroidery pattern. Her tone was full of praise: "He is a child with a heart."

In Mrs. Hu's mind, Zhuge Qiao was not only sweet-tongued, but the gift she picked was also carefully prepared and had a meaningful meaning.

Guan Yu is the green dragon guarding the east, which represents power; Mrs. Hu is the Xiangfeng who manages the internal affairs, which represents virtue.

Looking at this metaphor, even his own son has never praised Mrs. Hu's virtue so much.

Seeing that Mrs. Hu's demeanor and tone were full of affirmation for Zhuge Qiao, Guan Yu felt much calmer.

Those who do great things are most afraid of family discord.

Everything will be prosperous only if the family is harmonious. If Mrs. Hu looks down on Zhuge Qiao, even Guan Yu will be in trouble.

the other side.

When Zhuge Qiao saw Guan Feng coming out, he understood and followed Guan Feng hand in hand.

After walking to the pavilion in the inner courtyard and making sure that no one would bump into him, Zhuge Qiao said, "When Brother Zhang returned yesterday, he hesitated and said that he could not come to the prince's mansion today."

"I was worried about how to give the copied "Poetry" to Feng Ji. I never thought that the king would invite me to the banquet, which relieved my lovesickness."

"As soon as I saw you today, I fulfilled my wish."

Guan Feng's pretty face turned red when she heard this: "Master Qiao, you are serious. I am just a tiger girl who only knows how to dance with a gun and a stick."

If you are an ordinary scholar, you may despise a woman like Guan Feng who dances with guns and sticks.

After all, these laymen and Confucian scholars, even generals such as Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, all despised them, let alone women who danced with guns and sticks.

Zhuge Qiao was different from those secular scholars. He was more in love with women who practiced martial arts.

"The prince once said that in terms of leisure, chastity and quietness, observing integrity and order, acting with shame, and acting in a lawful manner, Feng Ji is no worse than a lady from a wealthy family."

"Being loyal and honest, speaking thoughtfully, behaving heroically, and understanding justice, Feng Ji is better than a lady from a wealthy family."

"I deeply agree with the Lord's praise of Feng Ji."

"Who stipulates that a tiger girl who only knows how to dance with a gun and a stick must be despised?"

"Scholars and Confucian scholars like to label their incompetence as saints. They speak the words of a saint when they open their mouths or shut up."

"But the real situation is that these secular scholars like to tamper with the original meaning of the sage's words by annotating them, in order to defend their incompetence."

"My father also once said: There are differences between Confucianism and gentlemen. The Confucianism of a gentleman is loyal to the emperor and patriotism, upholds the good and evil, and benefits the current generation, leaving his name for future generations; the Confucianism of a villain is just a carving, specializes in calligraphy, and writes poems when he is young. , Hao Shou Qiong Sutra."

"Though these little scholars have a thousand words in their writing, they don't have a plan in mind. They even take pleasure in mocking women. I am ashamed to be associated with them!"

Zhuge Qiao's words are graceful and graceful, but also heroic. He raises his hands and feet, which shows the elegance of a gentleman.

Guan Feng's originally anxious heart became calmer under Zhuge Qiao's ups and downs and touching words.

After calming down, Guan Feng looked at Zhuge Qiao with a little more admiration.

Although she likes to dance with guns and sticks on weekdays, Guan Feng, like most ladies and ladies, pursues the aesthetics of words.

Zhuge Qiao's speech was very emotional and very different from the ordinary scholar's concept. Every word of Zhuge Qiao's speech aroused Guan Feng's emotions.

In the past, they only communicated through words, but now they hear it with their own ears and see it with their own eyes. The perception is completely different: "You are really handsome and extraordinary. If I can marry you, what else can I ask for in this life!"
