"Feeling stifled here."
"My lord is exaggerating. My lord and I have only just met for the first time and exchanged only a few words. Why does my lord feel that I am stifled here?"
"It's like everyone carrying a bridal sedan; it's all just formalities and empty words, something one gets used to."
"My lord is straightforward."
"Not exactly straightforward, but there aren't many around me familiar with the Chu region. If Brother Ruan is willing to come, I would be most welcoming."
"I am with the Fan Family."
"The Fan Family might become mine too in the future."
As he spoke,
Zheng Fan, feeling somewhat weary, pointed around,
and said:
"Here, I have Jin people, Yan people, barbarians, and wild people. When I employ others, I never look at their background. As a Chu person, the sooner you come, the greater the benefits."
"My lord's way of winning people over is quite direct."
