I opened the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 230 Xiao Luo and Lao Tang

Mizukage continued with disdain, "Luo Guanzhong's seriousness is like that 'iceberg face', which makes people afraid to approach; his indifference to life is like that 'cold-blooded animal', which makes people feel chilled; his focus on history and politics is like that 'nerd', which makes people feel helpless. I don't want to be influenced by his seriousness, indifference to life and focus on history and politics. What I want is a 'lively and lovely' life, like that cheerful bird full of vitality; what I want is a 'warm and romantic' day, like the sweet plot in the idol drama; what I want is a 'flavorful' atmosphere, like that delicious food that makes people linger on. Just like the popular saying goes, 'Life is not just about the immediate, but also about poetry and the distance', but when I'm with Luo Guanzhong, I guess there is only history and politics in front of me, no poetry and the distance."

Emperor Zhenwu seemed to be thinking about something, and then said, "My daughter, Tang Xianzu is a master of opera. My daughter, look at Tang Xianzu. His operas are so beautiful and moving, full of artistic atmosphere. He can create such a wonderful opera world, he must be a sentimental person. With such a person as your husband, your future life will definitely be full of artistic charm and romantic atmosphere."

The Emperor Zhenwu became more and more excited as he spoke, and continued: "Tang Xianzu's status in the opera world is very high. His works are like precious works of art, which make people admire him endlessly. His talent is like a gorgeous rainbow, dazzling. With such a person by your side, it is like having a private art palace, and you can feel the influence of beauty at any time."

Shuiying: "Father, Tang Xianzu's opera is so beautiful and intoxicating. But he spends too much time on creation. Think about it, he is like a creative machine, running non-stop. Daughter, I hope my husband can spend more time with me. He can't just lie on the table writing operas all day and leave me alone. It's like guarding a mountain of gold and starving - you don't know how to enjoy it. We need a companion in life, we can't always be alone. It would be great if he could accompany me more to go shopping and see the scenery. Otherwise, life is cold and lonely, like a house with no one living in it, which makes people feel uncomfortable."

The Mizukage paused, then continued, "Besides, he is so focused on his creation that he will definitely ignore my feelings. By then, I will be alone guarding an empty house, how pitiful. I don't want to live a life of being ignored. I want someone who can care about me and pay attention to me, not someone who only knows how to create all day. It's like I'm walking in a dark tunnel and will never see someone to accompany me. I'd better find a gentle and considerate person who can live an ordinary and happy life with me."

Mizukage continued, "Look at those happy couples, they all go through every beautiful moment hand in hand. But if I follow Tang Xianzu, I will probably have to spend every day alone. It's like I'm performing a one-man show, so tiring. I want someone who can create beautiful memories with me, not someone who makes me wait in memories all the time. He doesn't know how to accompany me, he's not suitable for me at all. I'd better find someone who is more suitable for me, who can live a warm life with me in this little home."

Mizukage uttered a "Puh" and said, "His concentration is like 'turning a deaf ear to the outside world', which makes people feel helpless; his neglect is like the 'absent husband', which makes people sad; his absence is like the 'lonely traveler', which makes people feel pitiful. I don't want to be affected by his concentration, neglect and absence. What I want is a 'warm and sweet' life, as sweet as honey; what I want is 'considerate' days, like the soft clouds that make people comfortable; what I want is an 'inseparable' atmosphere, as close as conjoined twins. Just like the lyrics say, 'The most romantic thing I can think of is to grow old with you', but if I stay with Tang Xianzu, I guess I will become a lonely old woman early."

Emperor Zhenwu raised his chin slightly, his eyes full of admiration, and said slowly: "Daughter, Yuan Hongdao is a representative of the Gong'an School. You see, Yuan Hongdao is unique in the field of literature. His literary ideas are like the bright stars, shining with unique light in the literary sky. He dares to break through tradition and pursue innovation. His courage and wisdom are not something ordinary people can have. His words seem to have magic, which can bring people into a wonderful world. With such a talented person as your husband, your future days will definitely be full of literary charm and novel experiences." Emperor Zhenwu nodded slightly as he spoke, as if he was savoring the literary charm of Yuan Hongdao.

Mizuying frowned, pouted her lips, and said helplessly: "Father, Yuan Hongdao's literary ideas are indeed unique, but think about it, he is like a restless monkey, jumping around all day, thinking about doing new things. But he is too pursuing literary innovation. Daughter, I hope my husband can be more stable. He can't always think of new things and throw away the tradition. This is like putting old wine in a new bottle - the medicine is different. We have to live a stable life and can't always toss around. It would be great if he could live a down-to-earth life and not think about those things all day. Otherwise, life will be ups and downs and there will be no place to go." Mizuying kept shaking his head as he spoke, and his hands gestured from time to time, as if to emphasize his point.

The Mizukage paused and continued, "Life is already full of variables, I don't want to find someone who will make me even more uncertain. What I want is someone who can give me a stable life, someone who can live peacefully with me. Not someone who is as unpredictable as the wind. It's like I'm walking on a shaky bridge, never knowing if I'm going to fall off the next second. I'd better find someone who is stable and down-to-earth, so that my life can be secure." As the Mizukage spoke, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes, and his hands were unconsciously twisted together.

Mizuying continued to refute: "Look at those happy couples, they all live according to the rules and are very stable. But if I follow Yuan Hongdao, I will probably be on a roller coaster every day, with my mood ups and downs. It's like I'm playing an exciting adventure game, and I never know when I will be scared. What I want is someone who can create beautiful memories with me, not someone who makes me worry about the future all the time. He loves to make trouble and is not suitable for me at all. I'd better go find someone who is more suitable for me and can live a warm life with me in this little home." Mizuying spread his hands as he spoke, with a helpless expression on his face, as if he had seen the chaotic life he would have after being with Yuan Hongdao.

Shuiying used a series of poems, proverbs, two-part allegorical sayings and popular funny memes to say: "His innovation is like a 'unbridled wild horse', no one can stop it; his restlessness is like a 'naughty child', which is a headache; his tossing and turning is like a 'headless fly', bumping around everywhere. I don't want to be affected by his innovation, restlessness and tossing and turning. What I want is a 'peaceful and peaceful' life, just like the calm lake without waves; what I want is a 'well-behaved' day, just like the clock that follows the rules and moves regularly; what I want is a 'harmonious and stable' atmosphere, just like the warm fire that can bring comfort to people. Just like the popular song says, 'I want a stable happiness that can withstand the cruelty of the end of the world', but Yuan Hongdao certainly can't give me such happiness, otherwise my life will be like a 'tangled mess' that can't be untied." After Shuiying finished speaking, he sighed deeply, his eyes full of yearning for a stable life.

Emperor Zhenwu raised his chin slightly, with admiration in his eyes, and said slowly: "Daughter, look at Yuan Chonghuan. He is loyal and brave, very strategic, and capable of taking on important responsibilities. On the battlefield filled with smoke, he is like a brave and fearless god of war, defending his country with great majesty. What a heroic spirit. Isn't such a person worthy of your lifelong trust?" Emperor Zhenwu straightened his body as he spoke, his face full of admiration for Yuan Chonghuan, as if Yuan Chonghuan's heroic deeds were emerging before his eyes one by one.

The Emperor Zhenwu became more and more excited as he spoke, and continued: "Yuan Chonghuan's performance on the battlefield was amazing. His courage was like a blazing fire, burning more and more vigorously, and no one could defeat him. His strategy was like the bright stars, shining the light of wisdom in the darkness, guiding the direction for everyone. He led the soldiers to charge into battle, and for the sake of the country and the people, he spared no effort. With such a responsible person by your side, you are like having a solid fortress, and you don't have to be afraid of any difficulties."

Emperor Zhenwu paused, and then continued: "Yuan Chonghuan's status in history is also quite high. His name is like a resounding bell, echoing in people's hearts. His deeds are like legendary stories, being praised by people. With such a hero as your husband, your future life will definitely be full of glory and brilliance. You just wait to be envied and hated by others."

Mizukage curled her lips, frowned slightly, and said, "Father, Yuan Chonghuan is busy with the war all day long. Just think about it, he is like a war machine that is wound up and can't stop at all. How can he have time to accompany me? I, a daughter, don't want to stay in an empty house, waiting for my husband to come back every day. That kind of life will be so lonely. Besides, the battlefield is full of dangers and it is like dancing on the edge of a knife - you may get hurt at any time. We should find someone who is more stable to live our lives, and don't worry all day long. As the saying goes, a plain and simple life is the real life. Wouldn't it be good for us to find someone who can live a plain and simple life with me?" Mizukage frowned as he spoke, with his hands on his chest, a look of resistance on his face, as if he was reluctant to live with Yuan Chonghuan at the thought of it.

The Mizukage paused, then continued, "Life is hard enough, I don't want to find someone who makes me more tired. I want someone who can give me warmth, someone who can share the joys and sorrows of life with me. Not someone who only knows how to fight all day. It's like I'm walking in a dark tunnel, and I can never see the light at the end. I'd better find a gentle and considerate person, so that my life can be full of flavor."

Mizukage continued to refute: "Look at those happy young couples, holding hands all day long, shopping, watching movies, and eating delicious food together. How sweet it is. But if I follow Yuan Chonghuan, I can only do these things by myself. It's like I'm singing a one-man show, how tiring. What I want is someone who can create beautiful memories with me, not someone who makes me always wait in memories. He doesn't care about his family, he is not suitable for me at all. I'd better find someone who is more suitable for me, who can live a warm life with me in this small home."

Mizukage said with a series of idioms and popular jokes: "His busyness is like a wild horse that has broken free from its reins, and no one can stop it; his war is like a game that can never be stopped, which makes people nervous; his neglect of his family is like a mobile phone without signal, which makes people feel uneasy. I don't want to be affected by his busyness, war and neglect of his family. What I want is a relaxed and happy life, just like the freedom of a flying bird; what I want is a warm and romantic day, just like the sweet plot in an idol drama; what I want is a harmonious and happy atmosphere, just like the warm fire that makes people feel comfortable."

Mizukage frowned and continued, "Besides, he is so bellicosous that he will definitely offend many people. Then, we will also suffer. I don't want to live a life where I am hunted all day long. I want someone who can live in peace, someone who can enjoy a quiet life with me. Not someone who fights and kills all day long and makes me restless. It's like I am sitting on a chariot that may explode at any time, and I can't settle down. I'd better find someone who is more down-to-earth and can live an ordinary and happy life with me."

The Mizukage continued, "Look at those gentle people. They do things in a soft voice and make people feel comfortable. But he shouts and calls for war all day long. You never know when he will cause a big disaster. Isn't this asking for trouble? I want someone who can plan the future with me, not someone who makes me worry about the future all the time. He is so belligerent and is not suitable for me at all. I'd better find someone who is more suitable for me and can live a warm life with me in this small home."

The Mizukage said in a series of parallel sentences: "His bellicosity is like a raging fire, roasting me restless; his violence is like a violent hurricane, blowing me tottering; his ferocity is like a raging torrent, rushing me overwhelmed. I don't want to be affected by his bellicosity. What I want is a life as gentle as the spring breeze, caressing my face; what I want is days as tranquil as the lake, reflecting my dreams; what I want is an atmosphere as warm as the sun, warming my soul."
