"Just like Wei Yong, because of what happened to our third uncle back then, there is still a lot of grudge between me and him as my husband!
Later, after my husband officially entered the temple, due to various reasons, the two of us had a lot of competition overtly or covertly.
Thinking back then, it would be no exaggeration to say that the relationship between the two of us in court was on the same level.
How do I look at him as my husband? Why do I dislike him?
In the same way, he also dislikes his husband.
Back when my father, the old man, was still alive and in charge of the world, we were husband and wife because of our respective interests.
As a husband, I often give him stumbling blocks, and he also gives me many stumbling blocks and troubles."
As Liu Mingzhi spoke, he suddenly looked filled with emotion and took a long breath.
"call!"
"What's the result? The result is that the two of us have been fighting back and forth for more than ten years, but in the end no one has won.
Of course, as my husband, I didn’t like him at first, and now I still don’t like him.
This old fox, if I hadn't seen that he has good talents in governing the country, I would have kicked this old guy out of the court a long time ago."
"Pfft."
Qi Yun couldn't help laughing when she saw what her husband said was so interesting.
Immediately, she raised her hand to cover her red lips and laughed softly.
"Kick-clack, cluck-cluck."
After Qi Yun's laughter subsided, she glanced sideways at the emotion-laden look on her husband's face, and let out a soft sigh with her mouth slightly open.
"Husband, after all this talk, isn't it because you value Wei Fu's talent in running the country and helping the world that you are reluctant to kick him out of the court?"
Listening to Qi Yun's slightly teasing tone, Liu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes and stared at the clouds in the sky and became silent.
After a moment, he directly withdrew his gaze, turned around and looked at the beautiful woman standing next to him, smiled and nodded.
"Hehehe, that's indeed the reason.
Yun'er, this is exactly what I want to tell you as husband.
As far as our family is concerned, because of our third uncle, third aunt, second brother, and Wei'er, we have some hatred towards Wei Yong.
As for me as a husband, I have a personal grudge between the two of us as a husband and this old fox.
But, whether it’s the hatred from my third uncle’s side, or the personal grudge between my husband and me.
None of this can conceal the fact that Wei Yong indeed has talents that can help the country and the world.
Yun'er, we have been sleeping together as husband and wife for more than 20 years, and you know best what kind of character I am like as your husband."
As soon as Liu Mingzhi finished speaking, Qi Yun nodded her head lightly and echoed softly without hesitation.
"Yeah, I know, I know."
"Madam, as a husband, I never deny my abilities.
However, no matter how powerful I, Liu Mingzhi, am, no matter how capable I am, I will never underestimate the abilities of people in the world.
One is one, two is two.
As a husband, no matter how hard I tried to deal with Wei Yong and didn't get along well with him, it was just a personal grudge between the two of us.
I will never deny the ability of this old guy because of our personal grudges."
As Liu Mingzhi spoke, he casually folded the Wanli Jiangshan engraved jade fan in his hand and pinned it to his waist.
Then, he gently twitched the dry pipe on his waist, and skillfully lit a pot of tobacco.
Seeing this, Qi Yun frowned subconsciously.
"Husband, why are you smoking again? Didn't you agree to smoke less?"
Listening to the beautiful woman's somewhat reproachful tone, Liu Mingzhi immediately turned around with an angry expression and looked at Qi Yun, who was frowning slightly, and laughed softly.
"Hey hey hey, what a good lady, what a good Yun'er, this is only the third pot today, I won't smoke anymore if I smoke it."
As soon as Mr. Liu said these words, Qi Yun immediately gave him an annoyed look.
"Fuck you, husband, are you blind if you take me as my concubine?
Smelly husband, let me tell you, how many pots of tobacco did you smoke today? I remember your body clearly.
In the morning, when my husband and I were planting vegetables together, you and your eldest brother had already smoked a pot.
Later, after Creech and his family arrived, while all of us were reminiscing and chatting in the palace, you smoked three more pots of tobacco.
Now, together with the pot of tobacco that you just lit, husband, there are already five pots of tobacco in total.
Sanguo? I just smoked Sanguo, Sanguo, you big-headed devil!"
Seeing Qi Yun explaining these things so clearly, Young Master Liu immediately started to cry out for injustice with a depressed look on his face.
"Hey, madam, you are so good, I am wronged by my husband!
Since you remember the situation so clearly, you should have seen that when my husband and I were in the palace, I didn't smoke the two countries' tobacco that I lit at all.
As a husband, I lit two pots of tobacco just to deal with my elder brother's temptation of Crich and to wink at you by smoking a dry cigarette.
At that time, Yun'er, you were sitting behind me. You should have seen that in front of me, I just casually smashed the tobacco a few times, and then knocked out the shredded tobacco in the pot under my feet.
Of the three pots of tobacco, only the one I smoked when I was talking about business with Crich was the one I really wanted to smoke, okay?
So, strictly speaking, the pot of tobacco I am smoking for my husband is the real third pot of tobacco."
Listening to her husband's aggrieved reply, Qi Yun rolled her eyes again angrily on the spot.
"Okay, okay, don't explain, don't explain.
Come on, come on, come on, husband, if you want to do it, just keep doing it, don't make it look like I've abused you, concubine."
"Hey hey hey, good Yun'er, I definitely don't have this intention for my husband."
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, husband, whatever you want is what you want.
Husband, let’s continue talking about what we just said, don’t you think the topic we are talking about now has gone a little off track?”
After hearing Qi Yun's reminder, the smile on Young Master Liu's face froze slightly.
"Uh! Uh! That thing, that thing, it's really a little off track.
By the way, Hao Yun'er, where did we just talk about?"
When Qi Yun heard her husband's question, she glanced sideways at his slightly red face after drinking, and understood instantly.
My husband is indeed not drunk, but after drinking so much wine at once, he is already quite tipsy.
Qi Yun shook her head with a smile, raised her slender hand and casually fanned the light smoke exhaled by Young Master Liu.
"Silly, we said before that you will never deliberately deny Wei Yong's ability because of the personal grudge between you and Wei Yong."
After hearing Qi Yun's prompt, Young Master Liu immediately nodded in enlightenment.
"Yes, yes, that's it. That's it."
Liu Mingzhi nodded vigorously, and after gently taking a puff of dry smoke, his somewhat disturbed mood calmed down again.
"Yun'er, Wei Yong is a very talented person!
Yun'er, we husband and wife share some of our true feelings between ourselves.
Let me put it this way for my husband, Wei Yong’s own talents are much better than my senior fellow student Tong Sansi.
He not only has the talent to manage the country and the world, but also has a far-sighted vision.
At this point, as a husband, I still admire him very much.
Tong Sansi, my husband's senior fellow student from Dangyang Academy, also has good talents in governing the country.
If we just talk about running the country, I really can't rate the abilities of these two old foxes as to which one is stronger and which one is weaker.
If I have to make an evaluation, I can only say that it is between the best.
But, then again.
If it comes to the issue of long-term vision, my husband, my senior brother Tong Sansi, is just a few points behind Wei Yong, an old fox.
Tong Sansi was a man of good ability, and he lived up to the reputation of a virtuous person that the people of the time said he was.
It’s just that his ideas are too conservative.”
Listening to Young Master Liu's evaluation of Tong Sansi, Qi Yun's pretty eyes instantly showed a hint of curiosity.
"Too conservative?"
"Yes, Tong Sansi's ideas are too conservative."
"Husband, what should I say?"
Liu Mingzhi was silent for a while with his brows slightly furrowed, and then said something loudly.
“We have more than enough success to maintain, but we have no intention of making progress.”
"This! This! I am stupid."
Liu Mingzhi silently took a puff of dry smoke and walked slowly towards the flower garden in front of him.
When Qi Yun saw this, she immediately followed him with light steps.
"Yun'er."
"Hey, husband?"
"Yun'er, Tong Sansi's ability is quite good.
However, his own character is also destined, and his abilities are limited to the area of our Dalong Celestial Dynasty.
In other words, all he was thinking about was how to help the current emperor manage the territory under the imperial court.
Apart from this, he never actively considered matters outside the imperial court's territory.
On the other hand, Wei Yong, an old fox, has both a talent for governing and a pioneering spirit."
As Liu Mingzhi spoke, he suddenly stopped and frowned slightly.
Then, he continued walking towards the flower garden ahead.
"It can't be that he himself has a pioneering spirit. To be more precise, it should be that he knows better about catering to the thoughts of the people sitting in that position.
Throughout the past dynasties, we can look at the activities of opening up territories and expanding territories.
Whether it was for the person sitting in that chair or for the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, it was a great achievement worthy of being recorded in history.
Compared with Tong Sansi's conservatism, Wei Yong had the same pioneering spirit as the reigning king of the country.
It is precisely because of this that I, as a husband, say that Tong Sansi's ability is so much worse than Wei Yong's when it comes to things like Gao Zhanyuan's office.
Wei Yong and Tong Sansi both had the talent to run the country and help the world.
However, Tong Sansi’s conservative ideas destined him to be inferior to Wei Yong’s pioneering ideas.”
Qi Yun gently rolled her eyes, remained thoughtfully silent for a while, and nodded lightly a few times.
"Husband, I seem to have understood."
"Hahaha, it's good if you understand, it's good if you understand.
Yun'er, let's talk about Crich again.
This person’s ability cannot be underestimated!
As a husband, I can tell you this, that is, Crich's own background indirectly limited his own talents.
If this person can be given a broader world, he can definitely achieve a lot."
Qi Yun's pretty face was stunned, and her eyes looked towards Young Master Liu with surprise.
"Absolutely promising?"
Liu Mingzhi felt Qi Yun's somewhat surprised gaze and nodded without hesitation.
"Yes, it will definitely make a difference."
"Husband, do you think your evaluation of Crich is a little too high?"
Liu Mingzhi took a strong puff of the dry cigarette in his hand, turned to look at Qi Yun, smiled and shook his head.
"Not high, not high at all.
This person's vision is already much broader than that of some of the officials in Dalong's court.
If circumstances don't allow it, as a husband, I really want to get this guy to our Dalong immediately and directly give him the official position of a doctor in the household department."
After Qi Yun was silent for a long time with a tangled expression, she smiled and nodded.
"Well, maybe I am really short-sighted."
"Yun'er."
"I am here, husband."
Liu Mingzhi looked up at the sun in the blue sky, and happily knocked out the ashes from the smoke pot under his feet.
"Yun'er, husband, I don't have anything to be busy with here, so you should go back and rest early."
Qi Yun's pretty face was slightly startled, and she instinctively turned her head to glance at the flowerbed in front of her.
"Husband, these seeds."
"Hehehe, it's still early, and I don't need much time for this day.
Let’s plant these things tomorrow.”
"Okay, I understand.
Husband, I will go back first."
"Hmm, you drank a lot of wine before. Go back and rest early."
"Hey, I'm taking my leave."
Qi Yun smiled slightly and bowed to Liu Dashaofu. After hesitating for a moment, she walked towards her residence with gentle steps.
Liu Mingzhi watched the beautiful lady's figure gradually go away, then raised his eyebrows with a smile.
Immediately, he happily put his hands on his back and walked straight to the palace where Huang Lingyi lived with a strange expression.
Lingyi, Lingyi, you little goblin.
My husband, I have been enduring this for several days because of this girl Qingrui.
Today, for the sake of my husband, I have to deal with you, a monster.
After half a day.
Young Master Liu gently waved the Wanli Jiangshan engraved jade fan in his hand and came to the palace where Huang Lingyi lived with a smile on his face.
As soon as he entered the hall, he heard the sound of rushing water coming from the back hall.
Such movement, if nothing unexpected happens, means that Huang Lingyi is taking a bath!
Young Master Liu immediately closed the jade fan in his hand with a smile and quickened his pace.
Lingyi, Lingyi, didn’t you say that my husband, a master of the innate realm, is much better at pulling a sledge than an ox?
Today, as my husband, I will show you my ability to cultivate the land.
Sure enough, when Young Master Liu walked into the back hall, he saw Huang Lingyi sitting in the tub and bathing.
"Lingyi, are you taking a bath?"
"Oh! Husband, aren't you entertaining guests over there? Why are you here?"
"Hehehe, Lingyi, Krich has already sent him away.
Husband, I came to you because I have something I want to discuss with you?"
Huang Lingyi's pretty face was stunned, and she asked subconsciously: "Ah? Husband, what do you want to discuss with me?"
Seeing Huang Lingyi's surprised expression, he immediately burst into laughter and flew towards the beautiful lady who was taking a bath.
"Hahaha, I will tell you what happened right away."
