Chapter 229 Day 2 Swelling
Emperor Zhenwu said with emotion: "My daughter, Li Zhi is a heretic. Just think about it, in that dull era, Li Zhi was like a flash of lightning that broke through the night sky, bringing a different light of thought. He dared to challenge tradition and question authority. That courage is not something that ordinary people have. His thoughts are like the surging waves, impacting the old ideas wave after wave. With such a man with unique insights as your husband, your future life will definitely be full of challenges and excitement."
The Emperor Zhenwu became more and more excited as he spoke, and continued: "Li Zhi's position in the intellectual world is unique. His words are like the loud drums of war, inspiring people to think and explore. His works are like the sharp swords that cut off the ropes that bind people's thoughts. With such a person by your side, you are like having a key to open the door to a new world and see a different scenery."
Mizukage: "Father, look at Li Zhi. His ideas are so radical, he is just like a wild horse that can't be stopped. Just think about it, he is like an uncontrolled rocket, whooshing away without knowing where he is. How can this work? I hope my husband can be more traditional. Li Zhi does those unorthodox things all day long, which makes people feel uneasy. It's like walking on a tightrope, swaying and may fall at any time. We still have to live our lives step by step and follow traditions. Don't always think about breaking the rules, the risk is too great. As the saying goes, there is no order without rules. We must have rules and can't mess around. Otherwise, we can't live like this."
The Mizukage paused, then continued, "Life is already scary enough, I don't want to find someone who makes me even more uneasy. I want someone who can give me a stable life, someone who can live peacefully with me. Not someone who is like a bomb that could explode at any time. It's like I'm walking on a rugged path, and I have to be careful to avoid traps that may appear at any time. I'd better find a steady and down-to-earth person, so that my life can be guaranteed."
Mizukage continued to refute: "Look at those happy young couples, they all live a regular life, and a plain life is the real life. But if I follow Li Zhi, I will probably feel like I'm on a roller coaster every day, with my moods up and down. It's like I'm playing an exciting game, and I never know when I'll get scared. I want someone who can create beautiful memories with me, not someone who makes me worry about the future all the time. He is so radical, 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."
Shuiying used a series of poems, proverbs, two-part allegorical sayings and popular funny memes to say: "His radicalism is like a 'violent storm', which catches people off guard; his heresy is like a 'crooked melon and cracked date', which makes people uncomfortable; his restlessness is like a 'naughty monkey', jumping up and down. I don't want to be affected by his radicalism, heresy and restlessness. What I want is a 'peaceful life', just like the calm lake without waves; what I want is a 'well-behaved' day, just like the regular clock that runs step by step; 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 sings, 'I want a stable happiness that can withstand the cruelty of the end of the world', but Li Zhi certainly can't give me such happiness, otherwise my life will be like a 'tangled mess' that can't be untied."
Emperor Zhenwu frowned slightly and continued, "My daughter, Wu Cheng'en is very talented in writing Journey to the West. Look at how wonderful the world in Journey to the West is, full of imagination. Wu Cheng'en can create such a magical world, and his talent is unmatched by ordinary people. His words are like gorgeous fireworks, blooming with colorful lights. With such a talented person as your husband, your future life will definitely be full of literary atmosphere and romantic atmosphere."
The Emperor Zhenwu became more and more proud as he spoke, and continued: "Wu Cheng'en's status in the literary world is quite high. His works are like precious gems that people can't put down. His imagination is like the vast sky, without boundaries. With such a person by your side, it's like having a private literary treasure house, from which you can draw inspiration at any time."
Mizukage: "Father, Wu Chengen is indeed very talented. He wrote Journey to the West so brilliantly. Look, the gods and monsters in it are so vivid, just like they are really in front of you. But he is too obsessed with literary creation. It's like he is possessed, with those gods and monsters in his mind all day long. Daughter, I hope my husband can be more practical. He can't always live in his own fantasy world. It's like painting cakes to satisfy hunger - it's useless. We have to face reality in our lives and can't just rely on imagination. It would be great if he could care more about firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. Otherwise, life is empty and meaningless."
Mizukage frowned and continued, "Besides, he is so obsessed with creation that he will definitely neglect his family. By then, I will be alone guarding an empty house. How lonely it will be. I don't want to live a life of being ignored. I want someone who can care about me and accompany me, not someone who only knows how to fantasize all day long. It's like I'm walking in a dark tunnel and can never see the light at the end. 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 work hard together and are down-to-earth. But if I follow Wu Chengen, I will probably have to worry about the family affairs every day. It's like I'm performing a one-man show. How tiring. I want someone who can create beautiful memories with me, not someone who makes me wait in memories all the time. He is so impractical and 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."
Shuiying used a series of poems, proverbs, two-part allegorical sayings and popular funny memes to say: "His fantasy is like the 'castle in the air', which is out of reach; his impracticality is like the 'mirror', which is illusory; his neglect of family is like the 'absentee husband', which makes people sad. I don't want to be affected by his fantasy, impracticality and neglect of family. What I want is a 'down-to-earth' life, just like the old ox taking one step at a time; what I want is 'real' days, just like the full ears of wheat; what I want is a 'warm and sweet' atmosphere, as sweet as honey. Just like the popular saying goes, 'I have met the right person through eye contact', but Wu Chengen is definitely not the right person, otherwise my life will be like a 'stagnant pool of water', without any vitality."
Emperor Zhenwu seemed to be thinking about something, and then said, "My daughter, Shi Naian wrote Water Margin. My daughter, look at Shi Naian. Water Margin is full of the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes, and full of lofty sentiments and ambitions. He must be a man of great courage to write such a passionate work. With such a man as your husband, your future life will definitely be full of passion and adventure."
The Zhenwu Emperor became more and more excited as he spoke, and continued, "Shi Naian's position in the history of literature cannot be underestimated. His works are like a blazing flame, illuminating the heroic dreams in people's hearts. His words are like a sharp sword, showing the joy of revenge in the rivers and lakes. With such a person by your side, it is like having a private heroic world, and you can feel that heroic atmosphere at any time."
Mizukage: "Father, tell me about Shi Naian. The Water Margin is full of the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes, but it's not good to have too much of the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes. Think about it, he is like a hero in the rivers and lakes, so impetuous. But we can't always live in such a noisy way. It's like pouring fuel on the fire - the more it burns, the more it burns. We need to have some culture and be gentle and elegant. We can't fight and kill all day long. As the saying goes, a gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands. We need to be elegant and not so rude. Otherwise, our life will be like a battlefield, which makes people nervous."
The Mizukage paused, then continued, "Besides, he is so gangster-like that he will definitely cause trouble. Then, we will suffer as well. I don't want to live a life of constant fear. I want someone who can deal with things peacefully, someone who can enjoy a quiet life with me. Not someone who stirs up trouble all the time. It's like I'm sitting on a chariot that could explode at any time, and I can't settle down. I'd better find someone who is more down-to-earth, who can live an ordinary and happy life with me."
Mizukage continued, "Look at those happy young couples, they are all harmonious and respectful to each other. But if I follow Shi Naian, I will probably be as nervous as if I were on a battlefield every day. It's like I'm in an action movie, and I never know when there will be danger. I want someone who can create beautiful memories with me, not someone who makes me worry about the future all the time. He is so gangster-like and 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 little home."
Mizukage used a series of poems, proverbs, two-part allegorical sayings and popular funny memes to say: "His gangsterism is like a 'violent storm', which makes people unable to resist; his rudeness is like a 'bullfighting bull', which makes people afraid; his trouble-making is like a 'time bomb', which may explode at any time. I don't want to be affected by his gangsterism, rudeness and trouble-making. What I want is an 'elegant and calm' life, just like the charm of blooming flowers; what I want is a 'gentle and considerate' day, just like the soft clouds that make people comfortable; what I want is a 'harmonious and happy' atmosphere, just like the beautiful painting that makes people intoxicated. Just like the lyrics say, 'The most romantic thing I can think of is to grow old with you', but if I stay with Shi Naian, I guess I will become a yellow-faced woman early."
Emperor Zhenwu frowned slightly and continued, "My daughter, Luo Guanzhong is the author of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. My daughter, look at Luo Guanzhong. Romance of the Three Kingdoms shows history and politics vividly, with so much wisdom and strategy. He must be a smart man to be able to write such a magnificent work. With such a man as your husband, your future life will definitely be full of wisdom and challenges."
The Emperor Zhenwu became more and more proud as he spoke, and continued: "Luo Guanzhong's status in literary history is quite high. His works are like bright pearls, emitting charming brilliance. His strategies are like bright beacons, guiding people in the direction of progress. With such a person by your side, it is like having a private think tank, from which you can draw wisdom at any time."
Mizukage: "Father, Luo Guanzhong is really amazing. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms shows history and politics vividly. But he pays too much attention to history and politics. Think about it, he is like a historical researcher, buried in those old papers all day long. Daughter, I hope my husband can pay more attention to the little things in life. He can't stare at those national affairs all day long and forget about the family affairs. It's like throwing away the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds - can't tell the difference. We have to have some fireworks in our lives, and we can't always talk about those great principles from a high position. It would be great if he could care more about what clothes I wear today and what food I eat. Otherwise, life will be dry and inhumane."
Mizukage frowned and continued, "Besides, he must be very serious since he is so concerned about history and politics. Then, our lives will become very dull. I don't want to live a life without fun. I want someone who can bring me happiness, someone who can enjoy life with me. Not someone who has a stern face all day long and only knows how to talk about history and politics. It's like I'm walking on a colorless road and will never see beautiful scenery. I'd better find a lively and cheerful person who can live an ordinary and happy life with me."
Mizukage went on to say, "Look at those happy young couples, just like a pair of cheerful mandarin ducks, talking and laughing, full of energy. But if I followed Luo Guanzhong, I'm afraid I would be in a dull history class every day, so boring that it's suffocating. It's like I'm watching a documentary without any waves, and it's hard to encounter surprises. What I long for is a partner who can work with me to create beautiful memories, not a person who makes me always wait in my memories. He is so indifferent to the fun of life that he doesn't match me at all. I'd better look for someone who is more suitable for me, who can weave a sweet chapter of life with me in this warm little home."
