The old man smiled and said: "Marriage is different from falling in love. Falling in love is just a fairy tale, but marriage is reality and involves all aspects. I am not a rigid person, and I don't want to hinder you too much. But are you ready for love?
Just now you didn't even understand the details of my son's life, you are unqualified at this point!"
Liu Xiu was silent, thinking of Yin Lihua, Guo Shengtong, Ji Rou, and Cai Yan, but in the end, he didn't understand the details of their lives.
"Our family is a Fuso noble, or a top noble. Although she was born into a noble family, my daughter does not need to sacrifice herself for the interests of the family. She is not too demanding about family registration. It is just two countries and two customs.
There is a war between the two countries, have you figured out how to deal with these problems?"
"A war between two countries?"
"Donghua Shenzhou is too small to accommodate the two big countries of Fusang and Yanhan. The two countries will have a war and then an alliance. This is a historical necessity. But Yanhan will be the leader and Fusang is a vassal; Fusang will be the leader and Yanhan will be the leader.
If the Han Dynasty becomes a vassal, this is a big problem!"
"Since you are getting married, you have to think about these things!"
Liu Xiu was silent again.
"Through your son, I know you quite well. Your mother died young, your grandfather is a powerful general, your father is running a business, and there is an uncle who was born in martial arts and is an elder of the Prajna Sect. I'm right!"
The old man said: "And your elders will not agree with you marrying a Fusang woman!"
Liu Xiudao: "That's right!"
The old man said: "Finally, are you willing to stay in the Kingdom of the Sun for my son?"
Liu Xiudao: "If you don't want to, I want to go back to Yanhan!"
The old man said disappointedly: "Your child is the apple of my eye. I don't want her to marry a Chinese man far away. If you love her, then stay in Fusang! If your child leaves Fusang, she will inevitably be unfamiliar with the place and the surroundings. This is not good for her."
, leaving your parents again, and even turning them against each other! Is it worth asking her to make such a big sacrifice for you and pay such a high price? If you can't shoulder the responsibilities of a man and can't give your child happiness, then...
Please let go."
"Senior has said a lot, can I allow this junior to speak?" Liu Xiu suddenly smiled.
"Okay!" the old man said.
Liu Xiu said: "Women's life, paying attention to clothing brands, paying attention to clothing fabrics, paying attention to food, etc., these are the things that women care about. Men care about the world, the world, civilization, and the stars and the sea.
.Isn’t it a bit much to ask a man about the origin of his fabric, the brand of his clothes, and the origin of the world’s top ten famous teas?”
"The essence of aristocracy is liberal arts, and liberal arts are the characteristics of court education. The essence of liberal arts is uselessness. Knowing a little is not proficient, but knowing a little about everything, together becomes the basis for a king to govern the country, which makes him unable to
Make common sense mistakes in everything; and never be tempted by things that seem beautiful but are actually illusory. The essence of elegance is also useless, but the purpose of uselessness is to be useful, and these useless 'elegance' must be cultivated
The taste and character of educated people. This kind of taste and character allows educated people to find their own kind. Only when people with the same taste and good moral character gather together can a country be governed well. A nobleman will pursue an exquisite life,
But I won’t deliberately pursue a refined life!”
Speaking of this, Liu Xiu spoke with contempt: "The Taizus of the past dynasties could sit in elegant teahouses and discuss matters with their ministers; they could also eat snacks at street stalls and inquire about the people's sentiments. Only Huizong
The empress of Xuanzong flaunted himself by showing off his elegance, indulged in exquisite life, and forgot about state affairs!"
"Caring about brand clothes, caring about tea venues, caring about famous wines and food, those are things that eunuchs and concubines should care about, not things that the emperor cares about! Because eunuchs and concubines rely on these to please the emperor!"
As he said this, Liu Xiu thought of Guo Shengtong and Ji Rou.
Guo Shengtong was born into an aristocratic lady. She was proficient in tea and flower art. She was very exquisite in matching various clothes and making various delicacies. Under her care, Liu Xiu enjoyed an exquisite life. Ji Rou was a princess of Chu State.
, brought Chu Feng, and also allowed him to taste the elegance of the South and the elegant aristocratic life of the South.
"As for saying that if you follow me, your child will suffer...actually, it's not just temporary suffering...but on the contrary, you will suffer!"
Liu Xiu suddenly fell silent: "People have to suffer when they are alive. Only the dead are carefree and happiest! If you get married for happiness, you should never get married for so long. If you are not happy, you will end up with endless suffering.
!”
"Those who think about happiness after marriage have not experienced the torture of life!"
I thought of Guo Shengtong and Yin Lihua. Following him, I didn’t enjoy many blessings, but suffered a lot.
Having said this, Liu Xiu didn't want to talk anymore.
The purpose of speaking is not to convince the other person, but to convince yourself.
He really doesn't understand love, and he doesn't want to understand it too well.
Distance creates beauty.
No matter how beautiful a girl is, she will suffer from aesthetic fatigue if she watches too much. No matter how beautiful she is, she will never feel stunning.
From Cai Yan, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Zhen Mi, to Ji Rou, Guo Shengtong, Yin Lihua, etc., they never got married before they got to know each other in detail. Some only met two or three times, and some only met once.
Then I got married. I didn’t want to know too much, but I was afraid that if I understood you too deeply, I would suffer from aesthetic fatigue.
In essence, beauty is not seen but imagined.
Suddenly, Liu Xiu understood Picasso. The beautiful women in Picasso's paintings are all squares, rhombuses, circles, etc. combined together, because distance creates beauties.
The old man also fell silent, and suddenly said: "What do you think of Fusang!"
"Yanhan is a declining aristocracy, always thinking about thirty years to the east and thirty years to the west, and don't bully young people who are poor; Daying Kingdom is an emerging aristocracy, confident and proud, they don't need to decorate themselves with exquisite life, they just eat bread and barbecue
, has an aristocratic demeanor; as for Fuso, he is just a nouveau riche. He has become rich but lacks self-confidence. He always wants the nobles to get closer. In the past, he learned the exquisite life of the Yan Han Dynasty, and now he is learning the exquisite life of the Great Eagle Kingdom. In fact, it is not necessary!"
Liu Xiu sighed.
The old man said: "Your Majesty, I can't go with you!"
"Then stay!" Liu Xiu said lightly: "Wait for me, wait for global peace, wait for the moment of world harmony, wait for the moment when the world changes because of me!"
After saying that, Liu Xiu stood up, bowed and said, "Senior, farewell!"
Say goodbye and leave.
After a while, Funakoshi Fumio came out and said: "Your Majesty, he has seen through your identity!"
"Seeing through but not telling the truth will benefit both sides!" The old man sighed: "How wonderful it would be if Li Mu was not from Yanhan but from Fusang!"
