When Chen Qingxuan was writing "True Dragon Son of Heaven", he also wrote "On the Suppression of Rebellion", which was presented to Zhong Mingwei for review. Zhong Mingwei was very impressed with "True Dragon Son of Heaven", and immediately ordered people to copy hundreds of copies overnight and secretly send them to the capital for distribution. However, Zhong Mingwei remained silent on "On the Suppression of Rebellion", and did not comment. Chen Qingxuan also held back and did not ask. Unexpectedly, Zhong Mingwei took the initiative to bring it up at this time.
"No, sir, I certainly don't think so." Chen Qingxuan hurriedly shook his head and said, "I have been reflecting on whether my writing is not good and what is lacking. It was not until I read the "Anti-Traitor Manifesto" written by Brother Jiayou that I realized that I paid too much attention to literary talent and lost a sense of heroic indignation. The first priority of a manifesto is to inspire people as much as possible and boost morale. Therefore, Brother Jiayou's masterpiece is more suitable than my humble work."
"Is there such a big difference?" Mei Ya frowned, not quite understanding. "Why do I feel that Mr. Chen writes better, with gorgeous and beautiful words. It's obviously higher in quality than Mr. Fu's."
"Madam, you are too kind," Chen Qingxuan said hurriedly, "It is because I paid too much attention to the words. Instead, I ignored the purpose of the manifesto itself. This is something I have never noticed before. I will definitely pay attention to it in the future."
"Qingxuan, you are right. If you just want to be like the Taifu, not interfere in government affairs, and just want to concentrate on studying, then you should naturally pay more attention to literary talent. But I still hope that you can help me achieve great things, so you can't just concentrate on studying. I won't agree." Zhong Mingwei said with a smile, pouring a cup of tea and handing it to Chen Qingxuan.
"Yes, thank you for your advice, sir." Chen Qingxuan hurriedly took the teacup with both hands and bowed deeply to Zhong Mingwei again. He knew that Zhong Mingwei really valued him, so he patiently gave him these advices. Naturally, he was very touched. However, looking at Mei Ya standing beside him, he felt a little guilty. However, he didn't know what to say, so he lowered his head and drank tea.
"Oh! I can't stand you guys anymore, bowing and saluting all the time. I'm going to the kitchen to see if the bone soup is ready." Mei Ya got up and went to the kitchen.
Chen Qingxuan watched Mei Ya enter the kitchen, and hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand, then knelt down in front of Zhong Mingwei with a plop, and said, "Master, the other day, I was so excited that I actually...acted inappropriately towards Madam. It was really unintentional, please forgive me and don't take it to heart."
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten it." Zhong Mingwei was startled, then he remembered what kind of thing Chen Qingxuan was talking about. He immediately laughed, stretched out his hand to pull Chen Qingxuan up, and said with a smile, "Qingxuan, I heard that you always claimed to outsiders that Meiya is your sister and you are my brother-in-law. What? As a brother, holding your sister's hand is considered an act of transgression? I don't think so."
Now it was Chen Qingxuan's turn to be stunned: "Master, who told you this? When did I...when did I say this?"
"Really didn't say that?" Zhong Mingwei looked at Chen Qingxuan's bewildered face, and couldn't help but shook his head and laughed, "That might be Second Master Fu's nonsense. A few days ago, he ran to me and cried that you and Kong Wenmin teamed up to embarrass him, and asked me to find a chance to teach you a lesson. It seems that boy lied."
Chen Qingxuan's whole body froze, and he immediately remembered the origin of this sister and brother-in-law. His face immediately turned red, and he stammered when he spoke again: "Master, he...what else did he say to you?"
"It's just nonsense anyway. Don't worry, I won't take it to heart." Zhong Mingwei's eyes slid across Chen Qingxuan's red face, and then he gently patted Chen Qingxuan's shoulder and said again, "Don't take it to heart."
