[The cryptic tone is annoying; too reminiscent of Master Guo Jia. Zhang Liao could never tell when he had to take his lord's prized strategist seriously or not, and all the younger man would do is smile the same damn smile at him. Still, no need to get annoyed at someone just because they remind you of someone else. He's probably more annoyed at the lack of proper respect shown from a junior to an elder, but slowly he's realising that the children here seem more outspoken, that it appears to be the norm. This of course doesn't spare the brunet a slight lecture from Zhang Liao though.]
You need not concern yourself with such matters. It is more important for you to study hard so you may obtain a civil office and provide for your family.
[The young brunet is...a boy, right? A second look later and Zhang Liao still can't really decide. Silently, he wonders why gender roles are so confused in Magnoshutatt: the women were manly, and the men were feminine.]
