Why not marry a sister-in-law?

During the Three Kingdoms, Zhao Fan's sister-in-law Fan Shi was very beautiful. In the face of such a beautiful woman, it's not that Zhao Yun doesn't like Fan Shi because she is a widow, but that Zhao Yun doesn't want to be muzzled by Zhao Fan because of Fan Shi, making him horny and on the road of no return. Today, we will explore one or two clues from history together.

After Battle of Red Cliffs, Liu Bei attacked the city in the name of Liu Qi, the eldest son of Liu Biao, and quickly acquired four counties in the south of Jingzhou. Immediately, Liu Bei appointed Zhao Yun as a partial general and replaced Zhao Fan, the former magistrate of Guiyang. So Zhao Yunling led the troops to Guiyang to receive the city. Zhao Fan, the former magistrate of Guiyang, warmly received Zhao Yun, because both of them were surnamed Zhao and they hit it off very well. After drinking, Zhao Fan invited her sister-in-law Fan Shi out. I see this Fan Shi is very beautiful, really beautiful. She is really a stunning beauty. How can she not make people feel sorry for her?

Zhao Fan said that my brother died and my sister-in-law had been widowed for three years. She is young, helpless and even pitiful, and wants to marry Zhao Yun. Hearing this, Zhao Yun refused Zhao Fan's good pleasure on the pretext that both of them were surnamed Zhao and Zhao Fan's sister-in-law was Zhao Yun's sister-in-law. Zhaoyun doesn't want Fan Shi, the great beauty of Zhao Fan's sister-in-law. It is not because they share the same surname "Zhao" that they are not married. This reason was untenable at that time, it was just an excuse made up by Zhao Yun!

Some people may think that Zhao Yun doesn't want Fan Shi, a great beauty, because Fan Shi is a widow and Zhao Yun has a virgin complex, and doesn't like this widow Fan Shi. In fact, in the Three Kingdoms period, marrying a widow was not only shameful, but also a great hobby of men at that time. For example, Cao Cao, a wife killer in the Three Kingdoms, not only married the wife of Qin under Lu Bu, but also his greedy aunt, and almost lost his life. After Liu Bei later acquired Yizhou, he also married Wu, the sister of General Wu Yi, who was also a widow. This shows that it is normal to marry a beautiful widow in the Three Kingdoms. As for the so-called virgin complex, it was after the Song Dynasty, and it was the development of Neo-Confucianism in Zhu Cheng, which had nothing to do with Zhao Yun's era.

Zhao Yun doesn't want Zhao Fan's sister-in-law Fan Shi, because Zhao Yun thinks that Zhao Fan surrendered to Liu Bei because of the situation. He didn't mean it. Zhao Fan sent Fan Shi with ulterior motives, fearing that he would be restrained by Zhao Fan because of Fan Shi, set himself on fire and go to the point of no return. After all, there are many women in the world, so don't lose big because of small. So I rejected Zhao Fan's good pleasure.

Sure enough, later this Zhao Fan defected to Liu Bei, and Zhao Yun was not implicated because he didn't marry Zhao Fan's sister-in-law Fan Shi. It can be seen that Zhao Yun has a long-term vision and is not fascinated by beauty. He's a real hero! To sum up, Zhao Yun didn't accept Zhao Fan's sister-in-law, Fan Shi, just didn't want to get involved with Zhao Fan, so she was silenced by Zhao Fan. What do you think, gentlemen?
