[The Three Kingdoms] Golden Sun Exhibition

52 – The era of extraordinary sense (7)

After Zhang Liang and Han Xin, the differences between men and women became less severe than before.

The perspective of male supremacy over female has diminished compared to before, to the extent that in some cases, a woman can also serve as the head of a family.

To begin with, in the past, it was a time when it was natural for men to be given priority, to the extent that the phrase ‘men’s priority over women’s ratio’ did not exist.

Over the course of hundreds of years of history as a country, many women took up public positions and became representatives of their families, and their appearance began to change.

However, even though the s*xual status of men and women changed, there was one thing that did not change.

No matter where you are, the authority of the head of that place does not change.

The authority of the head of an organization, whether it is a nation, a force, or a family, is immutable.

The same goes for the Sima family.

No matter how talented Sima Yi is as a woman, she is ultimately a member of the family.

She is also in a position where she has to follow the instructions of the head of the family, Simabang.

Samabang had a rather stiff-looking face.

At his appearance, Sima Hui’s expression hardened, and as soon as Sima Fang arrived, he went inside as if he was going in and out of the academy as his own home.

If you are rude, you can be said to be rude.

However, he acted as if his rudeness was natural and wanted to take Sima Hui and Sima Yi to talk separately.

Thanks to this, I had no idea what he was going to talk about when I had no idea what he was coming for.

“Why is someone who hasn’t come down for years suddenly?”

Sima Yi is the child brought in by Sima Hui.

When I was very young, I separated from my family and came down to Jingju to escape the turmoil.

The child who grew up being left in the care of a distant relative whom he had never met has finally become a child who can smile, and has established himself as an indispensable person at Sugyeong Academy.

“What if they suddenly decide to take me away?”

“Master.”

Zhuge Liang sat on the chair and looked at me calmly and said.

“Master, why are you so anxious about your disciple leaving?”

“what?”

“Even if the head of the Sima clan decides to take the family’s daughter, that is the head of the family’s decision. If the head of the family decides so, isn’t it the law and duty that the family’s daughter must follow it?”

“This is an extremely conservative and Confucian answer!”

Zhuge Liang’s words made me feel frustrated.

“Yes! You are right. It is impossible for a mere woman to dare to disobey the orders of the head of the family. But my heart breaks when I think of the sorrow my student will experience in the process.”

“…Master?”

“How can I send righteousness away with a smile when righteousness does not properly carry out its wishes?”

If I were a long time ago, before what happened to Zhou, I would have only thought about profit.

– We’re finally letting someone graduate! Now that I have established a good relationship with the Sima family in Xia, I will receive great help from them in the future!

One of the brightest students who graduated from Sugyeong Academy.

A child who thought that even a girl could rise to a fairly high government position in the future.

If Sima Yi followed Sima Fang and left for Hanae, they would have parted ways with a smile and maintained their close relationship by exchanging letters.

In case there is a day when I need help from the Sima family in the future.

“Maybe it’s just my excitement, but I don’t think Yi will ever want to leave this place.”

“Why? Didn’t Master also say that Sima Yi has nothing to learn under me anymore?”

“It’s a common thing to say, and it’s true, but it’s not time to leave the academy yet!”

It is not time for Sima Yi to leave yet.

Sima Yi wasn’t mentally prepared, and neither I nor Sima Hui were mentally prepared yet.

Family does not necessarily have to be related by blood.

As long as we can go through difficult times together in the same space, have fun, and rely on each other, we can say that we are a family. Is it for no reason that they say they are sworn brothers?

Although we were not related by blood, I considered Sima Yi and Sima Hui to be my family.

Suddenly.

Sugyeong Academy has become a very precious space for me.

The same goes for Sima Yi.

I haven’t heard Sima Yi’s thoughts directly, but I’m sure she thinks the same way.

“Yes, I will have to leave someday. But not now. It is not socially, timely, or ethically right. Specifically…”

“Let’s start with the conclusion.”

Zhuge Liang only spoke in a calm tone.

“I’m not saying that Sima Yi shouldn’t leave here because of that reason, but aren’t you giving that reason because Sima Yi shouldn’t leave?”

“…It’s just as you said.”

What Zhuge Liang said was correct.

In my head, I was opposed to Sima Yi leaving Sujing School for all kinds of reasons, but in reality, I was only opposed to Sima Yi leaving.

“Why are you so opposed to Sima Yi leaving?”

“That’s right….”

I was speechless.

I couldn’t even tell myself how to answer.

I am Sima Yi….

“…under.”

…No, even if I knew, there’s no reason to tell this brat.

“That’s because I haven’t been able to teach you everything I want to teach you yet. There are still things Sima Yi wants to learn from me as well.”

“What is that?”

“You don’t need to know, you brat.”

bean.

I held Zhuge Liang’s head in frustration.

Zhuge Liang held his head and glared at me with complicated eyes.

“Why are you hitting me?”

“I hit him because I wanted to hit him.”

“……yes?”

“Sometimes you do what you want without any reason. Give up the habit of trying to think logically about everything. You can’t live in this world with reason alone. Sometimes you have to trust your emotions.”

“It seems similar to the logic of drunk people.”

“If you want to think like that, think like that. I told you when I first met you. I would teach you the world.”

I put my hand on Zhuge Liang’s head again and ruffled her hair.

“There are things like this and things like that in the world.”

“…It’s strangely vulgar.”

Yeah, I’m still young so I don’t know.

I tickled Zhuge Liang’s grunting head and waited for the Sima family’s story to end.

and.

“…Grunt.”

Samabang opened the door roughly and came out, huffing as if he was going to spit at me and then went out.

From noble mtl dot com

“Hey, that…”

“Leave it alone.”

Sima Hui stopped me.

But is it okay to just stay like this? That gentleman, are you going to the stables, getting on a horse, and leaving?

“What on earth happened?”

“It’s better not to know the details, just know it briefly.”

Sima Hui patted my back.

“I tried to take Sima Yi to Xai, and I bought myself five years.”

“…….”

It went as worst expected, and turned out for the best.

* * *

“Master, are you curious about what I talked to my father about?”

“Of course. What on earth did we talk about that made your father so angry?”

“Something that would naturally make a father angry? hehehehe.”

Sima Yi smiled brightly and tapped my waist with his elbow.

“You can’t believe it….”

“The daughter I was trying to take to Hanae insisted on not going, so wouldn’t it be natural to be angry?”

“…That can’t be helped.”

He said he would take his daughter from Hyeongju, but who would stop him?

But what if the daughter herself objects?

From Sima Fang’s perspective, who cannot stay here for a long time, he will have no choice but to quickly return to Hanae.

There are still bandits running around the area, and Lee Gak and Gwak Sa’s men from Jangan are going on expeditions and plundering.

In the meantime, there is a delay of several days because the head of the family is arguing with his daughter in Jingju?

Such a decision will not be easy to make.

“Teacher Soo-kyung helped me a lot. In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that he persuaded my father.”

“I guess I’ll have to prepare a grand table for you sometime soon.”

“Just between us. hehehe. Still, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have fun eating out once in a while.”

By ourselves.

It’s a subtle sound.

“But what do you mean by five years?”

“…My father wants to appoint me to a government position. I studied at Sugyeong Academy for a long time, and now he wants to take me to Hanae to learn and cultivate as a government official.”

“Office? Phew.”

thank god.

I wasn’t taking you there for an engagement-

“Ah, are you relieved now? Why would you be like that? Is this someone who is anxious to make his disciples a masterpiece?”

“Be quite.”

“Did you suddenly become sad because your student was leaving? hehehe, if that’s the case…”

“Sama Yi.”

I grabbed Sima Yi’s shoulder.

Sima Yi suddenly took a step back in surprise when I got closer, and I made eye contact with Sima Yi, placing one hand on the wall.

“Do you really think you’ve learned everything yet?”

“…Oh my, is there something I haven’t learned yet?”

“Of course. Five years. It just so happened to be good. There are so many things I need to tell you before the terms and conditions are signed.”

“Five years… I guess I can stay here for as long as I have. Master.”

Talk.

Sima Yi instead pressed his head against my forehead.

Sima Yi and I got so close that we could feel each other’s breath, and we looked straight at each other.

“Disciple, there are still many things I want to learn from you. Please teach me more.”

“Of course. Don’t even think about leaving until you learn everything. You are…my student.”

“Student… hmm, good. I don’t know what will happen later.”

Sima Yi grinned and moved aside.

“Oh, by the way, can I see your mother?”

“Mother? Who? My adoptive mother?”

“Yes. I was able to earn five years this time because I think I need a little help from the Chae family.”

“If that’s the case, I myself-”

“no.”

Sima Yi turned his back and said as he walked out the door.

“I need to talk to my mother directly.”
