Chapter 116 Goodbye

"Sure enough, I still brought it up." Liu Jing secretly said in his heart.

Since Emperor Wu "dismissed all schools of thought and only respected Confucianism", the great Confucianist Dong Zhongshu proposed that "the three principles of the kingly way can be found in heaven", which established the basic theory of Gangchang Mingjiao. "Husband is wife guide" has been lifted to a new level of "three guides" for the first time.

Later, Dai De and Dai Shengshu's "Da Dai Li Ji" and "Xiao Dai Li Ji" further enriched and perfected the traditional etiquette system. The chastity status is just the evidence of a series of moral norms of "Dai Xue".

In this dynasty, Ban Gu, Ban Chao's sister, female master Ban Zhao's "Women's Admonitions" clearly put forward the moral standard of "consistent with one another", believed that "the love of husband and wife should never be separated for life", and advocated that women should " Leisurely, chaste, and tidy.”

However, the Han Dynasty, adhering to the legacy of ancient times, was open-minded and did not value chastity. The principle of "oneness and one end" advertised by Confucianism has never been recognized and accepted by the world.

Remarriage was very common in the Han Dynasty, from the relatives of the emperor to the common people.

If Lai Gong's attitude is tough, Liu Jing can completely reject Xun Cai on the grounds that Xun Shuang, a famous scholar in Yingchuan, forced his daughter Xun Cai to remarry, which led to Xun Cai's suicide.

But Lai Gong's attitude is quite warm, without mixing any of his own will, he always thinks of Lai Ci, showing his brother's deep affection for his sister, which makes Liu Jing feel a little embarrassed.

Seeing Liu Jing showing hesitation and not answering for a long time, Lai Gong suddenly understood, and said, "Zhong Da, did Li Ji mention this to you when you came here?"

"Yes, my sister-in-law told me." Liu Jingjing nodded, and then said solemnly: "My sister-in-law is kind to me in nurturing and teaching me. Every time I meet, she must dress neatly. She never dares to slack off in her heart. The matter of sister-in-law , I really dare not ask. The only thing I can do is to support my sister-in-law, no matter what decision she makes, I will fully agree with it, that's all."

Lai Gong knew that Liu Jing could not be persuaded, so he sighed and said, "Oh! I sent a letter to testify earlier, but Li Ji's attitude was quite firm, and she did not intend to remarry. Is she going to live a lonely life like this?"

Lai Ci is the youngest sister in the family. She was regarded as a treasure by the whole family since she was a child. For the first 16 years, she has always been carefree. Liu Yuan has excellent family background, talent, learning, and looks. She thought she would be a good match for her sister, but she turned out to be a good match Short-lived people with poor fortune.

It's a pity that there is no medicine for regret in the world, it's too late to say anything now, not only did Liu Yuan die, but also implicate his sister in her life's unhappiness.

"..." Liu Jing looked a little embarrassed, sitting upright, speechless.

After a long time, Lai Gong shook his head and said: "Forget it, maybe when the tiger's head gets bigger, she will think about it."

Liu Jing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and if he continued, he would flee in despair.

Staying in Lai's mansion until noon, Liu Jing politely rejected Lai Gong's proposal to keep him for dinner, and rushed to the next destination, Pan Jun's house.However, when they arrived, they were told that Pan Jun had gone out to visit friends, and Liu Jing had no choice but to go back home.

Back at Duting residence, Liu Jing just got out of the car when he saw Zhuge Liang standing outside the residence, wearing a white kerchief and azure wide-sleeved Confucian uniform. He hadn’t seen him for more than a year. Seven feet five or six inches, with long facial features, handsome appearance and excellent demeanor.

Liu Jing noticed that there was another person standing beside him. This person was about eighteen or nineteen years old, in his early seven feet, with a dark face and a blunt face, looking ordinary.

However, Liu Jing didn't judge people by their appearance. Zhuge Liang seemed easy-going, but in fact he was extremely high-spirited. People who can make friends with him are definitely not ordinary people.When Liu Zhu returned from Xiangyang, he brought back a letter from Zhuge Liang. In the letter, he mentioned that he had made many like-minded friends in Xiangyang, such as Pang Tong and Cui Jun, but he didn't know who the person in front of him was?

"Kong Ming..." Seeing Zhuge Liang, Liu Jing was overjoyed. He walked up to Zhuge Liang in two steps, held his hand firmly, and asked, "Kong Ming, how did you know that I came to Xiangyang?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Shi Yuan and I came to Xiangyang to visit friends. Before we entered the city, we heard people talking a lot, saying, "Liu Zhongda has arrived in Xiangyang." Come and meet."

"I went to visit Mr. Song and Mr. Lai. I saw that it was getting late. I planned to go out of the city to visit your house early tomorrow morning, but I didn't expect that you would come to your door by yourself, and even picked up a friend. Is Pang Shiyuan here?" Liu Jing looked at Pang Tong with a strange look in his eyes. This is the "Phoenix Cub" who is as famous as "Crouching Dragon".

Although Pang Tong died early and failed to fully display his talents, Chen Shou compared him with Xun Yu of Wei in "Three Kingdoms", which shows how talented he is.In fact, his death was purely an accident. As a military strategist, he actually led the crowd to attack the city, but was shot by a stray arrow and died.It would not be too much to say that he was irritable, after all, the two armies were fighting, and Zhou Yu had also shot Liu Ya, so it can only be said that Pang Tong was too unlucky.

If Pang Tong does not die, he will surely become Zhuge Liang's arm. Zhuge Liang's learning is almost kingly, dignified and upright, and responding to situations may not be what he is best at. This is exactly what Pang Tong is good at. The two may complement each other and create achievements together. .

"Exactly. I've heard about your name for a long time. It's a pleasure to meet you today." Pang Tong was not as simple and blunt as he appeared on the outside, he behaved gracefully and had a good demeanor.

Liu Jing stared straight at Pang Tong with piercing eyes, and said with enthusiasm: "Kong Mingxin repeatedly talked about your foot, saying that his reputation is not obvious now, and those who don't know him are actually outstanding in talent and learning, the best in Xiangyang, and he is the leading talent in Xiangyang scholar."

Pang Tong glanced at Zhuge Liang beside him, smiled and shook his head, and said, "Kong Ming's exaggeration is too much. The next mortal, how can he dare to surpass Xiangyang."

Liu Jing boasted without changing his face: "The words and deeds of your step are elegant and elegant, which is unforgettable. Although I haven't talked with your step in depth, I feel that your step is absolutely extraordinary."

Pang Tong was surprised when he heard it, and thought, "Isn't this Liu Zhongda too enthusiastic?"

If the person who said this was not Liu Zhongda, who is well-known in Jingzhou, but an ordinary person, Pang Tong would definitely think that the other party was flattering him, or mocking him.

Zhuge Liang also had a strange look on his face. This scene reminded him of the scene when the two first met. At that time, Liu Jing was also so enthusiastic that he couldn't stand it.

He thought that Liu Jing was born with a warm personality, which was true for everyone, but it was not the case. It seemed that only those who had been "approved" by him would show such a warm side. It seemed that he recognized Pang Tong very much.

Liu Jing held Zhuge Liang's hand in one hand and Pang Tong's in the other, and said, "Stop standing outside, if you have anything to say, let's go in and talk."
