Chapter 674
Guan Yi lived a very comfortable life in Pingyu, and had no worries about food and clothing. When he had nothing to do, he taught a few children to read. But his condition was not very good. His eyes had white cataracts (white miasma), his eyesight dropped sharply, and his ears were not very good. He had to lean in front of him to speak loudly to hear clearly. He himself didn't know that, and he thought that others spoke in a low voice, which always made people louder, which made the children complain.
Yuan Quan arranged two women to help him wash clothes and cook and take care of his daily life, but he could not solve the symptoms but not the root cause, and could not solve his mental emptiness. Guan Yi was old and weak, and had no relatives on his side. All his thoughts were on Guan Yu. He did not understand the actual situation, but only thought that Guan Yu had outstanding achievements and was proud of him. He often took Guan Yu as a role model. Almost all the families of soldiers in the workshop were all from the family. There were many children who knew Guan Yu's actual situation, so he was not interested in this and often criticized him. Fortunately, he couldn't hear clearly and did not care about the children.
Seeing Guan Yu, Guan Yi was in a good mood and gave the children a holiday. The children scattered, and only the Guan family and his son were left in the huge school. Guan Yu knelt in front of Guan Yi, and his huge nine-foot-high body curled up into a ball and cried. Guan Yi groped Guan Yu's face and smiled and said, "My husband, what's there to cry? I'm living a good life. When people are old, they are either sick here or sick there, which is normal."
Guan Yu felt guilty. Guan Yi had just reached his sixties. If he hadn't suffered for the past few years, he wouldn't have been so weak and sick. He helped Guan Yi out of the school and walked by the lake. He was afraid of the strong wind, so he took off his battle robe and put it on Guan Yi. Guan Yi's body was not as good as Guan Yu, and he was a little hunched over. The hem of the battle robe was almost dragged to the ground, so Guan Yu held it in his hand and held Guan Yi.
The father and son walked slowly along the lakeside. Guan Yu said his plan and planned to take Guan Yi to Nanyang first and ask the famous doctor in Bencaotang to diagnose it, but he didn't say the following words. He didn't know whether Guan Yi's body could withstand a long journey. He went to Chang'an first and then to Youzhou. The journey was not easy. Whether it was Chang'an or Youzhou, living conditions were not as good as Nanyang. It was lack of doctors and medicine, which was particularly difficult for Guan Yi. Most Chinese medicine craftsmen in the military were good at treating injuries, and they had no choice but to treat various diseases caused by the elderly and weak.
Nanyang has conditions. Bencao Tang not only has famous doctors but also nurses, but Guan Yu couldn't bear to leave Guan Yi alone in Nanyang.
Loyalty or filial piety became his dilemma. When he was struggling, Guan Yu hated Sun Ce a little. Half of the situation in front of him was caused by Sun Ce. But he could not completely blame Sun Ce. After all, Sun Ce was very kind and righteous to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei himself refused to surrender, which forced Sun Ce to expel him.
He himself has responsibility, and several impulses have caused bad consequences. When Liu Bei fell into this situation today, he was the culprit.
He walked by the lake with his old father in a cool breeze, but Guan Yu's face heated up. He had been practicing martial arts or fighting, and he was determined to make achievements and rarely had time to stop and think. Now seeing his old father, thinking of Sun Ce's reminder, he realized that "the son wants to support his parents but his parents are not here" is not an empty word, but a problem that he really needs to face.
Guan Yi felt Guan Yu's abnormality and became worried. He asked several times. Guan Yu forced himself to smile and said that he was a little tired after running back and forth in the past two days, so he would be fine after two days of rest. Guan Yi didn't think too much, so he pulled Guan Yu back to his residence and asked Guan Yu to have a good rest.
Guan Yi lived in a small courtyard with three rooms on the front, one and two rooms. Because of the collective supply of food, there was no kitchen in the yard, it was simple and simple, the bed curtains and bedding were clean, and there were tea sets on the table, which were spotlessly clean. Not long after Guan Yu sat down, someone rushed over and asked Guan Yu whether Zhou Cang wanted to keep food, whether to go to the cafeteria to eat together or send it to the yard. Guan Yu was very satisfied. When he learned that these were Yuan Quan's arrangements, he took the initiative to visit Yuan Quan and expressed his gratitude in person.
Yuan Quan's residence is also in the workshop, not far from Guan Yi's courtyard, but it is much larger. It is a large courtyard with three entrances in front and seven rooms on the front, two courtyards on the left and right. In front is the outside of the workshop manager's residence, and in the middle is the office space. When Guan Yu entered the yard, he saw many people coming and going, most of whom were holding books and other things in his hands. Two middle-aged women were talking while walking.
"This Mrs. Mi is really good at settleing the score. I feel even better than Master Xu."
"Hehe, you are wrong. In terms of knowledge, you naturally have to count Master Xu. When it comes to accounting, Mrs. Mi is better at accounting. Master Xu is a person who does big things, so he has no intention of calculating our small accounts. Mrs. Mi is a big businessman in Xuzhou. His skills are inherited from his family. Not only can he settle accounts, but he can make money. You and I have to be careful. If you make mistakes, the year-end bonus may be affected."
"That's right, that's right, let alone the year-end bonus, in my opinion, if this continues, it's a question whether I can still be the director of this workshop tomorrow. Oh, isn't it a bit too late to learn mathematics at my age?"
"What's the time? Mrs. Yuan said, "Die... It's better to make up for the bribe than not. Learn a little bit. This workshop director can take twice the wages of an ordinary weaver. If you don't want it, some people want it."
“That’s, that’s.”
Guan Yu was very surprised. Both women were in their forties and fifties, so why did they have such a high enthusiasm for studying? Mrs. Yuan knew him, and what happened to Mrs. Mi, and he had never heard of it. He stood in the front yard and asked someone to come in to report. It was not long. The slave of Chang came out, looked at Guan Yu and asked Guan Yu to go in. Guan Yu came to the central court and saw a big case in the hall. Mrs. Yuan sat side by side with a young woman, listening to the report while making instructions, and was as steady as she commanded, busy but not incongruous. Especially the young woman, a series of numbers were spoken out of her mouth, without even stuttering.
After reporting on the work, several men and women left one after another. The expression on their faces was as admiring as the two women Guan Yu had just met. They were both impressed and nervous. They left in a hurry without stopping for a moment.
Yuan Quan stood up, stepped down to greet him, and laughed softly, "When Guan Jun comes back to visit his relatives, the old master is happy, and laughter can be heard in the whole Gebi."
Guan Yu was very embarrassed and bowed to Yuan Quan. "With Mrs. Lao taking care of her father, Yu was very grateful. I would like to thank him."
"It's nothing. You are fighting with the general. I can't fight. I will take care of your family for you and do my best. Guan Jun lives in this time and spend more time with Ling Zun. No matter how hard we are, we can't replace you."
"Thank you for your kindness, my wife. I am here to say goodbye this time. I plan to take my father to Wancheng for medical treatment and ask the famous doctor in Bencaotang to help him with his health."
Yuan Quan nodded repeatedly, expressing his understanding, but he was a little regretful. "Guan Jun's filial piety is commendable, it's a good thing, but it's a pity. I just asked someone to fall in love with a few women, wanting to have a marriage, character and family background for Guan Jun. Ling Zun was also satisfied. He just waited for Guan Jun to come back to decide, but he didn't expect you to leave."
Before Yuan Quan finished speaking, Guan Yi, who had always been not very good at hearing, suddenly became smart. "Madam Yuan, my disease cannot be cured in a day or two. Don't worry, please ask your wife to arrange a marriage for Changsheng first."
"Father……"
"You don't understand." Guan Yi didn't give Guan Yu a chance to speak. "If you choose a wife and a virtuous wife in your family, there will be no trouble for your husband. If you have a good mother in your family, your son will not be a spoiled. Women who are not a noble family cannot take this position. I know that the women introduced by Mrs. Yuan are all first-class and good families, and they can not only take care of their husbands, but also teach their children. If Mrs. Yuan had not come forward, they would not look down on my Guan family."
