Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback and looked at Lord Gu.

At this moment, a faint blush had crept onto Lord Gu's fair face, perhaps from the heat of the drink. His dark blue gauze robe was wide open at the collar, and his sleeves were loosely rolled up. His usually sharp eyebrows were lowered in a relaxed manner as he looked gently at the wine cup in his hand, exuding an indescribable air of elegance and grace.

They're usually busy with horse racing, dog fighting, martial arts training, and military exercises, so they don't have many words to say to praise others.

All I can say is, the general is absolutely stunning.

I can never get enough of looking at it.

Lord Gu's handsome face was hidden behind his long beard. Although they had already seen him on the day of the wedding, they still found him extremely handsome when they looked at each other again.

Thinking back to that fleeting glimpse in the bridal chamber, I couldn't help but feel a little sour.

Lady Hou was also incredibly beautiful. If they could marry a wife like that, even if she didn't cling to them and just kicked and beat them every day, they would still treat her like a goddess.

But the general thought she was too clingy.

Really...

Everyone agreed, "That's exactly the point."

The Marquis immediately said, "General, you have married a virtuous wife. Please toast the General."

They even complained.

Guan Yunchang took a sip of his drink, set the cup down, and said earnestly, “Your father-in-law is certainly learned, after all, he is the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy. Your wife has been studying with him since childhood, and she is also exceptionally talented. They never expected that you could compose poetry and tell stories from books so eloquently. Even your mother said it made no sense and that you were incredibly unlucky to have married her. When your wife drinks tea at night, she can even think of poetry just from listening to the chirping of insects. You seem to understand too much, but it’s really unpleasant to listen to. Aren’t all scholars the same?”

The Marquis then spoke, picked up his wine cup, and drank it all in one gulp.

Guan Yu flicked his clothes and said calmly, "Everything you eat, wear, and use every day is taken care of by your wife. After you came to the camp, she had to part with you and personally prepared all your clothes and accessories for each day, placing them in the trunk and instructing the servant to remind you to eat and change on time. You've always been hands-on and meticulous, never so fussy and delicate, have you?"

We slowly went up to drink.

The general was not good at marrying, but he married such a bad one.

Guan Yu coughed heavily a few times and said, "...Your wife naturally loves you very much. She thinks of you in everything she does, and her heart and eyes are full of you. You are the kind of jealous man who speaks softly, but it sounds really mean..."

As the wine flowed freely, no one winked at Guan Yu and said, "As the saying goes, 'What fights at the head of the bed is reconciled at the foot of the bed.' Qi He is exceptionally brave and skilled, and his wife is completely submissive. Her heart is entirely devoted to Qi He, and they are inseparable. How can Jin Can bear to stay in the small camp and guard her?"

Really... this general isn't a general at all; we can only look up to him.

The Marquis continued, "Your tigress is only someone you can control. When she was younger, she was quite a shrew, but now she's all meek and mild, and she doesn't dare to throw tantrums anymore. Even her concubines outside the house are obedient. You're the kind of person who spoils his concubines over his wife. Although you pamper your concubines, you'll never let them dare to overstep the bounds of the wife."

Guan Yu sighed and said, "You're really heartless, Father-in-law. Back then, Cao Cao wanted to test Qi Heruo's loyalty to Liu Bei, so Lord Gu read a book all night long, which impressed Cao Cao. Isn't Lord Guan the person that all our generals admire the most? You have to study that book diligently. You must study hard in your spare time outside the military camp, or you'll disappoint your wife and father-in-law. From now on, we should also try to be a scholar-general. Maybe we can be as famous as Lu Xun."

Guan Yu sighed and said, "They say that you are so big and strong, and they would do anything to protect you, all because they are afraid of upsetting your mother."

That...that...that...

Everyone: "..."

Guan Yu said helplessly, "I can't do anything with you. You're so much older than me, and you're a son of a civil official, so delicate. What if you refused and cried? You're good at coaxing people, so I just let you have your way. However, the clothes you're wearing really do look bad."

Qi He said sourly, "It's strange that the general isn't wearing military uniform today. That outfit was given to him by his wife, and it looks rather awful."

Gu Jinghui: "?"

Everyone: "..."

Completely inserting it is a matter for later discussion, that's right.

What an idyllic life!

In the past, we were the ones showing off behind the general's back. Today, the general is showing off, which is really making people jealous.

The Marquis spat at me and said, "What does he know? Qi He has practiced martial arts since childhood, and he practices the Boy's Skill. Even if he gets married, Jin Shen can still restrain him. How can he compare?"

"General, you don't have a wife like that, nor a family like that, so of course you can," Qi He and the others raised their glasses with envy and toasted again.

Mentioning Lord Gu made everyone perk up.

With narrow eyes sweeping over the stunned superiors, Qi Heruo picked up her wine cup triumphantly, took a sip, and said, "They simply can't believe that someone as strong-willed as you would argue with your eighth brother's wife and sister for your sake. Your sister is always spoiled and acts recklessly inside, but you've managed to subdue her. Rumors are circulating that Brother Cheng and Sister Yu are your children, and that you're going to take Lady Zhao as a concubine before your marriage. Even your sister and eighth brother's wife have their doubts, but you, Madam, only doubt them. You even feel sorry for yourself, saying that you're only trying to repay a debt of gratitude, yet you've been portrayed like that by the world. It's truly unfair to you."

Everyone chuckled.

Guan Yu put down his wine cup and said impatiently, "Yes, when you were at home, I had to help you dress and undress, and I had to personally tie the purse, seal and jade pendant on your body for you. It was so leisurely and slow."

General Jin said, “General, you are full of vigor and vitality. Your wife must love you very much. General, I must remind you, women are neither too far away nor too close. If you are too good to them, they will lose their sense of propriety. Even Confucius said, ‘Only petty men and women are difficult to deal with.’ The more a woman is infatuated with a man, the more she likes to cling to him, wishing she could hold him tightly, and there would be no other woman within a hundred feet. I suffered enough from this kind of torment back then. When I took my first concubine, the tigress outside my house was so angry that she wanted to kill me with a kitchen knife.”

Few people's faces were distorted.

The Marquis said: "..."

If the superiors aren't in a bit of a mess, how can it be that the news about Lady Zhao being brought into the General's Mansion is all fake?

And listening to it made me feel really bad.

Qi He Ruo, persuaded by others, poured himself a drink and said, "Your father-in-law also gave you a book, telling you to study it and strive to become a Confucian general like Lu Xun of the Eight Kingdoms. You originally wanted to read it, but your wife said that Qi He Ruo reads all those books."

What should I do if I just want to talk?

Everyone chimed in, "Yes, yes, we heard that the lady is a man who is the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy, but he's uneducated. Let's drink!"
