Two brothers showcased their abilities in front of the elder, Sima Guang.
This disdainful interjection from Sima Yi made him sneer, "If we go by what you're saying, the pickled vegetables have already gone cold!"
The two brothers of the Sima family felt insulted by their older brother's disdainful remark, and they weren't willing to stand for it.
"Big brother, what do you mean by 'the pickled vegetables have already gone cold'? Do you have a better method than hiring a master?" one of them challenged.
"Er Ge is right. Big brother, as the head of the Sima family, you not only show no concern when our family faces trouble from bumpkins, but you also throw cold water on our plans. Are you still worthy of being the head of the Sima family? I think you're not even as good as us from the second and third branches!"
