Sun Yin turned to leave, saying leisurely, "Of course, you think that what others like, you give them, as if this is giving, but you never ask if the other party wants it or is willing to accept it. This kind of person, no matter how sincere he is, is just a kind of self-righteousness. He thinks that he is magnanimous and has a clear conscience, but in reality, he is still selfish. Whether you are talking about love between a man and a woman, or about the relationship between brothers, all can be tricked. Because it is not easy to be good to others, but it is not too difficult. But to really put yourself in their shoes and respect them, that is very difficult. The ancients used the term "bosom friend" to describe close friends, so what counts as a "bosom friend" is a great study. Sun Yin is a stupid person, he does not know what kind of world the next thousand years will be, but the world we live in can be considered to have seen through. There are many muddle-headed people, but there are still some who do not care about benefits, reputation, good swords, posthumous titles, the good intentions of friends, the worthy deaths, the legacy of a family, or even the country of one person … "
Zhang Gaoxia frowned, asking, "What nonsense is this guy spouting? Is he cursing our father for fulfilling the two words' loyalty and righteousness', but only letting down Uncle Huan? But he seems to be praising him at the end. Isn't this self-contradictory? "
Zhang Bian Guan said carelessly, "I'm afraid he is also confused. People are too smart, they like to go against themselves, tossing and turning, empty-handed."
Zhang Gaoxia glared. "Sun Yin, what nonsense are you talking about? I don't know, but you are cursing our father. I can still hear it!"
Zhang Bian Guan took off the pigeon bell and casually tossed it into the Dragon-Sealing Well. He made a cynical face and laughed. "Father is too lazy to scold me, so I will secretly scold him. You won't tell on me, so what am I afraid of?"
Zhang Gaoxia's tone became heavy. He asked, "You are really not going to follow your father's wishes and go to Liaodong to join the army?"
Zhang Bian Guan shook his head gently. "As a son, since I can't help much, I have to send my father off. Giving birth to a child is nothing more than taking care of him when he dies. As a son, I have to do my best to do one of them. "
Zhang Gaoxia sat on the mouth of the well.
Zhang Bian Guan said with a look of surprise, "I'm telling you this kind of thing. Why don't you cry?"
Zhang Gaoxia said calmly, "I'm not that kind of woman."
Zhang Bian Guan nodded. "Actually, we're not as much like our father as you are."
Zhang Bian Guan seemed to remember something and said, "You are about to leave the capital and travel the Jianghu. Listen to me. Although Dad says he doesn't want you to go anywhere, he actually wants you to go to the place in his heart."
Zhang Gaoxia lowered his head. "Don't say anymore. If you continue, I'll really cry."
Zhang Bian Guan slapped his cheeks with both hands. "Motherf * cker, a woman like you hasn't even cried, and your brother, a man, has already given in. There was a person who said something that was absolutely true! I have never heard anything more reasonable than this sentence in my life. Even Sage Zhang would have to admit defeat if he heard it! "
Zhang Gaoxia raised his head.
Zhang Bian Guan blinked. "He said that if a man bleeds but doesn't cry, what kind of hero is he? Every woman in the world bleeds but doesn't cry!"
Zhang Gaoxia took a deep breath and then another. Only then did he calm down his murderous mood.
Zhang Bianguan said softly, "Go ahead. The world is in chaos. When the time comes, there will definitely be a scene of heroes, ambitious and ruthless. Don't miss it. Just treat it as giving our father a few more glances."
Zhang Gaoxia did not agree or refuse.
But on this day, he did not see Heroine Zhang with her sword again in Great Peace City.
Zhang Bian Guan was no different from usual. He walked back to Slanted Eye Street in the darkness. The dim yellow light in the courtyard was waiting for him to come home. That stupid wife, who was not very beautiful, was angry at him for drinking with women, but still waited like this. Day after day, she probably felt that there was no hope for her life, much less an end.
For other women, not to mention marrying into the Zhang Family, which was the only family in the entire Li Yang Dynasty, even if they were married into a third or fourth-rank official's family, they would still have a glorious life. Not only would they be able to live a life of luxury, their children would also not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. When they grew up, they would be able to live a life of luxury. If they wanted to help the country and the world, they would help the country and the world, and if they wanted to be mediocre, they would be mediocre.
Zhang Bian Guan was about to open the courtyard door like usual and yell for his wife to serve him good wine and meat when he suddenly squatted down for no reason. Then he heard the footsteps of passersby. He hurriedly stood up and pushed open the door to go home.
The woman, as usual, was silent. She served the warm and suitable food and ate it with her chopsticks. Occasionally, she glanced at the man, who had one leg on the bench and only cared about himself and was never willing to say a word to her. That man was her husband.
But he had never seen her show any hidden bitterness or grievance on her delicate face.
Zhang Bian Guan always liked to say that the reason why she was so good-tempered was that she was afraid of his family background. A starving camel was still bigger than a horse. No matter how useless Zhang Bian Guan was, he was still Zhang Julu's son. How could she not serve him carefully? But every time he said this, Zhang Bian Guan would slap himself in the mouth and say that only flowers, birds, fish, and insects needed to be served. Then she would secretly laugh until Zhang Bian Guan stared at her. Then she would turn her head, but the faint smile on the corner of her mouth didn't fade.
That night, after she fell asleep, Zhang Bianguan began to sob quietly.
"I'm afraid that I like you, but I'm even more afraid that you'll like me. That's why I'm like this."
"How could I not want an obedient and sensible child? My son and daughter are both very good."
"But I'm Zhang Julu's son. The more I do, the more mistakes I make. If I tell you the truth, will you run away? But where can you run away to? If you don't run away, can you live more easily than now? No matter how stupid you are, you'll come to realize it when you die with me. But I'd rather you hate me at that time. I just want you to muddle-headedly complain that I'm a failure, a good-for-nothing, and that I'm not in charge of the family. Wife, in this life, I owe you. If there's a next life, I'll definitely repay you … "
Zhang Bian Guan's face was full of tears. After wiping them clean, he gradually fell asleep.
That gentle woman who slept with her back to him and didn't move at all through the night slowly opened her eyes when she heard her husband's snoring. Her gaze was still gentle. Just like the day she walked off the sedan and when he lifted the red veil.
In the morning of the second day, Zhang Bian Guan mindlessly ate breakfast and strode out of the house.
After Zhang Bian Guan left the house, he walked on Slanted Street and looked towards the northwest. He said softly, "Gao Xia, you have to go to Beiliang. Only there will be chaos for a while, and not for a lifetime. "
Today, the youngest son of the Grand Secretary was still that Great Peace City, or even the world's most mocked noble family.
But that woman?
The woman quietly did one small household chores after another. When she had nothing to do, she would sit on the threshold of the inner courtyard and look towards the gate, waiting for him to come home.
