Modern Chinese Guide

孔子谈到公冶长，说：可以把女儿嫁给他。他虽然曾被关在牢里，但那并不是他的罪过。于是把自己的女儿嫁给了他。孔子谈到南容，说：国家政治清明时，他不会被废弃不用；国家政治黑暗时，他也能免于刑罚杀戮。于是把自己哥哥的女儿嫁给了他。

James Legge Translation

1. The Master said of Kung-ye Ch'ang that he might be wived; although he was put in bonds, he had not been guilty of any crime. Accordingly, he gave him his own daughter to wife. 2. Of Nan Yung he said that if the country were well governed he would not be out of office, and if it were ill-governed, he would escape punishment and disgrace. He gave him the daughter of his own elder brother to wife.
