Mao Bijiang didn't spend much time thinking independently. His self-awareness was very clear. He was just a scholar. He was just joining in the fun to help the generals here think about countermeasures from a different perspective.
He only needs to say a few words within the scope that he can consider. If he says too much, he will make mistakes and be laughed at.
He was not sure about the emperor's attitude, but judging from their previous interactions, he felt that Lin Chong was not a carefree person. Besides, he had never offended him on the road, and he would not deliberately make himself uncomfortable at this time.
, maybe he really wants to give himself a chance.
But it is not enough for him to have a heart. If he wants to stand firm, he also needs the support and trust of his colleagues. When he first arrived, everyone seemed to be warm and polite to him, but he knew very well that this was not because of his previous fame.
, if we take it seriously, his remarks can be considered a crime of disrespect.
The reason why everyone was polite to him and willing to listen carefully to whatever he said was for no other reason than that the person who brought him in was Lin Chong, the emperor of the day, that's all.
In other words, if what Lin Chong brought back today was not his Maoxiang, but Zhang Xiang and Wang Xiang, the attitude of these people would not be much worse.
He wanted to discuss it with Dong Xiaowan. When encountering this kind of thing, it was customary for him to discuss it with Xiaowan. She always put forward some very insightful opinions. Every time he chatted with her, he felt much more relaxed.
Maybe this is why I like her the most among so many people.
"Xiaowan, did I disturb your rest?" The reason why he asked this was because Mao Bijiang saw that Dong Xiaowan seemed to have laid down and was ready to rest.
The recent long-distance travel has had a great impact on her. Some time ago, she was not in good health and she kept herself naked. Now that she is well, she has fallen ill.
Mao Bijiang felt so distressed when he saw how thin she was and how energyless she was.
"No, I just lay down. Did something happen? I just heard Qingfang say, Mr. Lin... It seems that the Holy Master intends to use you as my husband, but he is worried about this matter?" Dong Xiaowan guessed.
Yuan Qingfang had just said goodbye and left. She had been here with Dong Xiaowan for a long time. Dong Xiaowan was unwilling to show up in front of outsiders due to physical reasons, and Yuan Qingfang did not force her.
He explained it directly to Lin Chong, and then took her down to rest. Anyway, women didn't have to participate in what they discussed, but going there would only enforce what they said.
Although she was unwilling to go out and show her face, Dong Xiaowan was still very concerned about the situation. Yuan Qingfang mentioned to her that Lin Chong might intend to re-employ Mao Bijiang. Therefore, she guessed that Mao Bijiang might be so troubled at this time because of this matter.
What she thought was absolutely correct, Mao Bijiang did come to tell her about this matter, but he didn't expect Xiaowan to know about it before he did.
Mao Bijiang couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that I would trust Miss Yuan so much. I would explain every decision I made to her. I really didn't expect this."
Dong Xiaowan didn't think it was a big deal: "Isn't this a normal thing between husband and wife? Do you have something to do and would you deliberately hide it from me?"
"The relationship between husband and wife in the emperor's royal family is naturally different from that of ordinary people. How can we have so many worries between us?" Mao Bijiang sat down on the edge of the cave and reached out to touch the temperature of Dong Xiaowan's forehead. She has developed a bad habit recently.
, if you don’t adapt to the climate, you will always get a fever.
After confirming that she didn't have a fever, Mao Bijiang felt a little relieved.
"What's different? Men and women don't always live together. To live together, they naturally need to trust each other. If you can't even do this, then what's the point of getting married?"
"For people like them, the meaning of getting married is not only about mutual love and trust, but also about considering the family behind the woman and the benefits she can bring to herself. This is the most important thing.
. How much complete trust can there be in the relationship between husband and wife established based on such an idea?"
"When I was singing in the Qinhuai River, I saw many rich and powerful young men going to drink tea and chat with girls who were either popular or not yet popular. Many of them would talk about marriage at every turn.
, but in the end I didn’t see many people getting on the sedan chair happily.”
"At that time, I thought that everyone was the same, but then Sister Chen met General Wu. It was the story between the two of them that made me believe that the world is not always disappointing and deceptive, and that there are always sincere people.
.”
"Yeah, at that time you always told me how they were doing, and I just wanted to see how they got along with each other, and find ways to make you happy, so they always thought that I was interested in Chen Yuanyuan.
What are you thinking about? I remember that at that time you lost your temper with me because of this, and you were angry for a long time."
"Then do you know now why I was angry with you at that time?" Dong Xiaowan was teased by him and remembered the past, and couldn't help but ask him.
"Isn't it because of jealousy?" Mao Pijiang scratched Dong Xiaowan's nose.
Dong Xiaowan slapped his hand away: "It's not just because of this. I didn't know your feelings for me at that time. Even if you really liked Sister Chen, I was just sad for a while. After all, there are so many people who like her.
You are not the only one left."
"It's just that at that time, I finally saw a real mutual love regardless of identity or past in this troubled world. This is really a rare thing. I don't want you to break its harmony and tranquility."
"I think the same is true between Shengshang and Qingfang. I believe that the relationship between them is not because of their status or interests as you mentioned. The two of them are a perfect match together. When I see them, I feel like I have seen the past.
Sister Chen is just like General Wu, and I am really happy for them."
"Why do you need to envy them? I will treat you well all my life. I will not cheat or hide you, nor will I let you down. When we get old and can no longer walk, we will sit together under the sun and take care of you."
Everything that happened in the meantime is recorded, so that my descendants will know how much I love you."
Dong Xiaowan was amused by his words: "Okay, when we get older, we will write together. It will be very long. Then we won't be in a hurry and will write slowly."
Mao Bijiang helped her lie down and covered her with a quilt: "Okay, you should rest quickly. Taking good care of your body is the most important thing."
