He still remembered that after his father had distinguished himself in the Hanlin Academy, his grandparents had moved from their old home to the city. During the hot summer months, the two elders especially liked to lie on the rattan chairs under the shade of the trees and help their grandchildren fan themselves. Fan after fan, fan after fan, summer after summer. As they fanned, only his grandmother was left. After that, they were all gone. Their father also did not observe filial piety. The court was even more impatient than the civil official who was his son. They directly issued an edict to revive him. Their group of children did not find anything strange from their father's face. Zhang Bian Guan clearly remembered that at that time, in Tai 'an City, the streets were filled with rumors. Everyone said that their father did not care about being a person in order to become an official. However, as their father's official hat grew bigger and bigger, the voices became quieter and quieter until no one mentioned it anymore. He, Zhang Bian Guan, had not done anything for many years. Compared to his eldest brother and second brother, he had left home later. However, he saw the family matters more clearly than his two brothers. Since when did the Zhang Family's family matters become the same as the matters of Jing and the world? Zhang Bian Guan's expression was lonely. The back of his head rested on the mouth of the well as he looked up at the dusky sky. When he was young, there was a lion bridge not far from the fu. Once, when the family went out to play, their father had them count how many stone lions there were on the bridge. Eldest Brother was the most like their father. He was serious in everything he did and counted in a methodical manner. Second Brother was a bookworm. From young, he did whatever Eldest Brother told him to do. Whatever Eldest Brother did, he would learn. He, Zhang Bian Guan, was only two years older than his sister, Zhang Bian Guan, so the siblings were the closest. Taking advantage of the time when their parents returned home, he took his sister to the frozen river under the bridge to play. When they were tired and saw that his eldest brother and second brother were still there foolishly counting, Zhang Bian Guan ran directly to the omniscient Uncle Huan Wen to ask for an answer. In the end, his eldest brother and second brother returned in the middle of the night and saw their younger brother kneeling on the ground. Since then, Zhang Bian Guan, who had suffered a lot, knew that those petty tricks were not real intelligence. However, after that, his mother secretly brought him a bowl of hot rice. When his father bumped into him, he didn't get angry. He just patted his head and said something that he only understood many years later. "You are much smarter than your two elder brothers. But since you have the same surname as your father, it's not a good thing."
Zhang Bian Guan sniffled and covered his face with his sleeve.
Sun Yin was about to speak when he heard a series of undisguised footsteps, so he shut his mouth.
He saw a tall woman with a sword walking over slowly. Hearing the familiar footsteps, Zhang Bian Guan hurriedly wiped his face in a daze. He smiled brightly and said, "What a rare guest. Heroine Zhang, why don't you be kind and give me some money?"
Zhang Gaoxia glared at him and said, "Jianghu pays particular attention to saving the needy and not the poor. Do you think I would give a bag of silver to a pauper like you? I'll take your surname! "
Zhang Bian Guan rolled his eyes and said, "The two of us have the same surname."
The corner of Zhang Gaoxia's mouth curled up and she said, "That's why." Then she threw a heavy bag of silver. Zhang Bian Guan was not surprised. He caught the silver and laughed heartily. "This heroine really has a Bodhisattva's heart! In the future, you will definitely find a handsome and talented man who can overturn the world and love his wife dearly! Before that, let's discuss something. Heroine, why don't you take me in and drag me home. Just take care of my meals. It would be best if there's meat and wine … "
Zhang Gaoxia didn't bother to banter with her third brother. Instead, she coldly glanced at Sun Yin, a minor official from the Secretariat who she knew very well.
Sun Yin stood up alone, leaving Zhang Bianguan to sit alone. He turned his gaze toward the Grand Secretary's beloved daughter, Zhang Gaoxia, ignoring her cold gaze that could slice a person's soul. He asked, "Miss Zhang, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it or not."
Zhang Gaoxia coldly said, "Then shut up."
Zhang Bian Guan slowly stood up and threw the bag of silver. He had a look of schadenfreude as he destroyed the bridge after crossing the river. "Sun Yin, oh Sun Yin, Chancellor Yao said that you were a great scholar who won three prizes in a row. It's a pity that my sister has never liked scholars who play with words. Don't expect her to look at you differently. If you really want to talk about principles, then it's that it's your business if you're strong, and it's my business if I like you. However, if you really don't change your mind and want to marry my sister, I don't care. But you have to beat her first, and she has to like you. Then, you have to be the son-in-law that my father personally approves of. Where can you find such a rare and handsome young man? You're the one who delivered yourself to my door, so you definitely don't count. "
Sun Yin said helplessly, "Why would I like a girl who already has someone in her heart?"
Zhang Gaoxia laughed coldly and said, "Sun Yin, you know quite a lot."
Sun Yin didn't mind and said calmly, "In any case, I'm destined to only speak half a sentence with the Grand Secretary in this life. Being able to speak with the Grand Secretary's son is enough to make up for my regret. As for you, Heroine Zhang Gaoxia, it's just a pleasant surprise. Don't worry, I also like the person you like. I won't fight with you over her. "
Zhang Gaoxia laughed mockingly and said, "You like men?"
Sun Yin smiled and said, "Like is like, but it's not like a woman who likes a man. Admiring a person from the bottom of my heart can also be considered like. To give an example, it's just like how I really like that Grand Secretary Daren was not able to write an excellent poem like 'Setting up thousands upon thousands of buildings, greatly protecting the cold under the heavens', but he was able to accomplish this magnificent feat with his feet on the ground. Six yamens, a total of four thousand houses. In the future, there will be fewer and fewer children of the rich and powerful families, and more and more children of the poor and common people. This is no different from Senior Li Chungang opening the gates of heaven with his sword in Jianghu, opening the mountains for the younger generation. "
