Zhao is a typical example of late marriage and late childbirth in modern times. Zhao Yun is in his prime and has no object yet. It happened that after Battle of Red Cliffs, Liu Bei sent Zhao Yun to fetch Guiyang, and Zhao Fan, the prefect of Guiyang, had already heard of Zhao Yun's name. He resisted without thinking in his heart and was ready to surrender. He fought a symbolic battle and surrendered. However, Zhao Fan proposed to become sworn brothers because he and Zhao Yun share the same surname and are fellow villagers in the same year.
The next day, Zhao Fan arranged for Zhao Yun to give a banquet at the yamen. Half drunk and half awake, Zhao Fan went to Zhaoyun's patio to continue drinking. At that time, Zhao Fan invited a woman to pour wine for Zhao Yun. Zhaoyun saw that the woman was dressed simply, but she was beautiful, so she asked who she was. Zhao Fan said that this was her sister-in-law Fan Shi. Zhao Yun immediately sat down, invited Fan Shi back, and asked Zhao Yun again. Zhao Fan told the real intention: Zhao Fan's brother died three years ago, and Zhao Yunquan, his sister-in-law's remarriage requirements were met, so he wanted to marry Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun said, "We are sworn brothers, and your sister-in-law is my sister-in-law. How can such incest happen? " Zhao Fan was severely rejected, and Zhao Fan was very upset and fought with Zhao Yun. Later, Zhuge Liang heard about it and asked Zhao Yun why he didn't agree. Zhao Yun said, "First, marrying a sister-in-law will be spurned. Second, it is immoral to let widows remarry. Third, I don't know what Zhao Fan's intention is, and I am afraid of breaking the big event. " Later, Liu Bei said that the overall situation was settled and Zhao Yun was decided to marry Fan Shi. Zhao Yun refused, saying, "There are so many women in the world, I am afraid that my reputation will be bad, and a gentleman will not worry about having no wife." This matter is just a matter of giving up.
Zhao Yun's refusal was also appreciated by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, saying that this is a gentleman. Do you think what Zhao Yun did was right or wrong?
