"Girl, we have to build momentum for ourselves, otherwise we will become traitors in the eyes of others," Zhong Mingwei sighed softly, "Now the northwest and southwest are probably very lively, but the people still don't know why they are fighting, so we can't do nothing. At this time, we must let the people know why we must have a ceremonial guard and why we must dethrone the new emperor. We must let the world know that we have a legitimate reason to fight and we must not give others a handle, otherwise we will become traitors in the eyes of the people, don't you think?"
Meiya seemed to understand, but she didn't understand it completely. She was stunned for a while, then looked at Zhong Mingwei and said, "It's just like when we saw two families fighting in Ningguta before, but before that, usually the wives of both sides would start cursing, one to vent their anger, and the other to let the neighbors understand the whole story, so as to avoid misunderstanding or taking sides. Mingwei, is this what you mean?"
The corner of Zhong Mingwei's mouth twitched: "...Girl, I didn't expect you to understand it so thoroughly."
"That's right. Who made me so smart since I was a child?" Mei Ya said proudly. While picking up the bowl to eat, she looked towards the door of the kitchen and said, "Hey, why haven't Mr. Chen and Guard Da Kong come yet?"
"Don't worry about them, let's eat first." Zhong Mingwei said without raising his head.
…
Small courtyard.
When Kong Wenmin returned to the courtyard, he saw Chen Qingxuan sitting at the table eating green bean cakes on a plate. Seeing him come in, he wiped the residue from his mouth awkwardly and asked him, "Why don't you go to the kitchen to eat?"
"Didn't you not go either?" Kong Wenmin sat down and looked Chen Qingxuan up and down.
"I'm not hungry," Chen Qingxuan said as he picked up the last piece of lotus cake from the plate. Just as he was about to put it in his mouth, he saw Kong Wenmin looking at him with a scrutinizing look in his eyes. Chen Qingxuan couldn't eat anymore and looked at Kong Wenmin in confusion, "Why are you looking at me?"
"Aren't you hungry?" Kong Wenmin frowned, and while looking at the empty plate, he said in a deep voice, "When I left, there were at least ten pieces of cakes on this plate. Now, it seems that they have all gone into your stomach."
Chen Qingxuan looked at the empty plate, then at the piece of hibiscus cake in his hand, and asked awkwardly: "Why? Do you want to eat this hibiscus cake?"
Kong Wenmin ignored him, reached out and snatched the lotus cake from his hand, then stuffed the whole thing into his mouth and started chewing it in big mouthfuls. It was not known whether it was intentional or not, but the chewing sound of Kong Wenmin was very loud. If you didn't know, you would think he was biting someone's head.
Chen Qingxuan stood up and was about to leave, but was suddenly grabbed by Kong Wenmin. Chen Qingxuan frowned and said, "What are you going to do?"
"Pour me a cup of tea." Kong Wenmin ordered Chen Qingxuan like a boss.
"Pour it yourself!" Chen Qingxuan was angry. He was irritated that Kong Wenmin had been inexplicably making things difficult for him today. He immediately shook off Kong Wenmin's hand and turned to leave. However, before he had taken two steps, he suddenly stopped and froze in place.
"The person you mentioned before, is your wife?" Kong Wenmin looked at Chen Qingxuan's suddenly frozen back, and had an answer in his heart. He couldn't help but snorted, "You have a very sharp eye. I didn't even take a second look at your wife before. I didn't expect that she would catch the eye of a top scholar like you. It's really amazing."
Kong Wenmin had never doubted what Chen Qingxuan thought of Meiya, but today, when she saw Chen Qingxuan uncontrollably holding Meiya's hand, she suddenly remembered what Chen Qingxuan had said when he was drunk under the setting sun.
