I opened the Ming Dynasty

Emperor Zhenwu was beaming with joy, his expression was like a flower blooming on his face, he looked like he had just slaughtered a super fat pig, and the pig was sold at a sky-high price, making a fortune, counting the money until his hands cramped, he was so excited that he almost lost his mind. His mouth was like a faucet, spitting all over the water as he recommended Andy Lau to the Mizukage.

"My dear daughter, listen to your father telling you about Andy Lau. Andy Lau is an evergreen in the Hong Kong entertainment industry! He is just like the thickest and strongest wooden stake in our slaughterhouse. Look, that wooden stake has been exposed to the wind and sun, and has been chopped by knives and axes for many years. It is still stable and will not fall down no matter how hard it is. It is as if he is possessed by the 'strong pig'. He has been standing firm in the entertainment industry for so many years. It is not something that ordinary people can do!

He has developed in many fields, such as film, television and music. Hey, in which field is he not doing well? Just like the big fat pig king who rushes around in the pigpen with great momentum and prestige, he is so awesome that he can cause a sensation wherever he goes. "

The more Zhenwu Emperor spoke, the more excited he became. His hands were like two flying kitchen knives, gesturing as if he was chopping meat vigorously. The amplitude of his movements was so large that it almost shredded the surrounding air. "As a singer, the styles of his songs are as diverse as a kaleidoscope, each turn is different!

Just imagine that the patterns in the kaleidoscope are ever-changing, sometimes colorful flowers, sometimes mysterious and fantastic starry sky, and his songs are the same. Classic songs such as "Forget Love Water" and "Ice Rain" are so popular that they can even overturn the roof of our slaughterhouse!

As soon as the music starts, it's like a tornado sweeping in, and everyone can hum along. It feels like 'a little cow riding a rocket - awesome and lightning'!

That unique voice, like one kissed by an angel, every note seems to have magic, singing from his mouth, can directly penetrate into people's hearts, making people intoxicated and lost, just like being drunk, it is simply "this song should only exist in heaven, how many times can it be heard in the world"! It's like the smell of a freshly slaughtered pig, the smell of the meat can hook people's souls away, people can't walk when they smell it, as if they were under a magic spell, and are tightly attracted by the smell.

When he sings, his stage charm is like the vigor we use when we slaughter pigs, full of power and passion. Every movement and every look can capture the audience's heart and make people unable to take their eyes away, just like "a pig with a green onion in its nose - pretending to be an elephant", but he is not pretending, he is really charming, like a huge magnet, sucking the audience firmly to him. "

"In terms of movies, it's even more amazing! He has starred in more than 10,000 films. Just imagine, if all the reels of these films were pulled out, they would be able to circle the earth. This is really like 'an old sow wearing a bra - one set after another'!

He has also won the Hong Kong Film Awards and Taiwan Golden Horse Awards for Best Actor many times. He has so many honors, like the stars in the night sky, too numerous to count. It's like 'Pigsy carrying his wife on his back - it's a thankless job, but he has achieved something'. He has put in so much effort to get these honors.

In works like "Infernal Affairs" and "Infernal Affairs", the acting is so superb that he seems like a veteran actor. Every expression and every movement can portray the character to the core. The charm is so great that it can make people dizzy, just like magic.

He has his own way in movies, just like 'pigs push forward, chickens scratch backwards - each has its own way', he can bring every character to life and make the audience feel that these characters are real. "

"Andy Lau works as hard as a donkey pulling a millstone, never stopping for a moment!

Look at the donkey pulling the mill, round and round, tirelessly. He is the same, working hard all the time. This spirit is like 'a pig eating spinach - it gets value for money', his hard work is rewarded, unlike some lazy pigs who just eat and do no work!

He is as humble as a mature ear of rice, with his head lowered and not ostentatious, just like he has achieved so much but is still so low-key. His character is like 'pig intestine - it cannot be supported, but it can stand firmly on its own without help'. He has his own principles and bottom line.

Such a son-in-law is hard to find even with a lantern! He is like the best pig in our slaughterhouse, fat and strong, with shiny fur. Who wouldn't praise him when seeing him?

He can bring you glory and make you look good in front of others, just like when we carry a big fat pig on our shoulders and walk down the street, the fat pig is swaying with fat meat, passers-by will look at us with envy, it is like an old sow entering the granary - greedy and still looking good. He can also give you support when you need it, just like when we have a good knife to kill a pig, we feel at ease, with him around, you don't have to worry about anything, it is simply like 'there is always a piece of meat on the pig that suits you', he can satisfy you both in life and in emotions. "

The Mizukage rolled his eyes aside, and those eyes rolled like two white marbles, with disdain as if he looked down on a piece of defective pork, and his face was full of disgust.

"Dad, please stop bragging. Andy Lau is great, but isn't he too busy at work? He's as busy as a clockwork robot, and it's a super powerful clockwork, spinning very fast and can't stop. Isn't this like 'an old sow chasing a rabbit - busy and out of breath'?

He is busy working outside all day long, like a tireless spinning top. How can he have time to spend with his family?

What I want is someone who can always be by my side, experience every moment of life with me, follow me like a shadow, rather than a busy person whom I only see a few times throughout the year.

Maybe I'm sick, lying in bed groaning, and he's thousands of miles away busy filming or singing, how can he have time to take care of me? Should I hold his photo and imagine him taking care of me?

No matter how outstanding he is, he is of no use to me. He is like the moon in the sky. It looks beautiful, but can you pick it down and use it as a lamp?

He is like the stars hanging high in the sky, beautiful to look at, but out of reach! What I want is someone who can be with me in a real way, not a star who only lives on TV and in newspapers, who is like "sticking an onion in a pig's nose - what's the point of pretending to be something, it's not real"!

Humph, don't think he's that great, he may not work for me, I won't fall for his tricks."

As the Mizukage spoke, she kicked the pig hair under her feet fiercely. The action seemed to be venting her dissatisfaction, as if kicking away a trouble. The pig hair was kicked all over the place by her, as if telling of their innocence.

"So what if he sings well? Can it be eaten? If I'm hungry, can I be full by listening to him sing? Can he wash my clothes and cook for me? What I want is someone who can take care of me in life, not a star who can only sing on the stage. Isn't this 'a pig digging for cabbage - it looks good but is not useful'?

Maybe he is just a fool in life who can't do anything. He can't even fry an egg and doesn't know how to wash clothes. He is like a spoiled little prince who can only enjoy the care of others but not take care of others.

So what if he is good at acting in movies? That is all in the movies, just like the heroes in those movies, they can fly over rooftops and walls and do everything, but that is all fake. In real life, can he protect me like the heroes in the movies?

If I meet a small thug, he might be worse than me. No way. I want someone who can stand up to me when I am in danger, not a star who can only look good in the movies. That's a pig brain - useless, just good-looking, it's not enough, he can't fail at the critical moment! "

Mizukage turned around and looked straight at Emperor Zhenwu. Her eyes were as firm as if she was selecting a good pig. If the pig had any flaws, she would not want it.

"Besides, he is so busy that he certainly doesn't have time to understand my thoughts. What I want is someone who can understand me and know what I am thinking, just like the roundworm in my stomach. Not a celebrity who is so busy all day long that he may not even know what color I like, let alone my hobbies and dreams. I don't want to find such a person. How can I live in the future? It's like two strangers living under the same roof. How awkward. It's like 'a pig entering a slaughterhouse - the future is uncertain, it's unreliable to find him'. I don't want to pin my happiness on such an unreliable person."

The water shadow sighed slightly, and that sigh was like a gust of wind blowing across the helpless fields, and then said:

"Also, he's a star, so he must have a lot of fans. If I'm with him, wouldn't I be stared at by his fans every day? It would feel like I'm a bug under a magnifying glass, with every move being seen clearly by everyone, with no privacy at all. I don't want to live a life without privacy, being pointed at and talked about all day, like an animal in a zoo, being watched and talked about by everyone. That's like 'a pig being driven onto a shelf - it's uncomfortable to get off', and it's scary to think about such a life. I want someone who can give me a quiet life, not a star who is surrounded by people wherever he goes. Andy Lau can't satisfy me in this regard, his life is too lively, not suitable for me."

The Mizukage fiddled with the corner of his clothes unconsciously, as if he was fiddling with a piece of pig skin, and continued with a frown:

"Besides, the entertainment industry is so complicated, like a huge maze, full of traps and temptations. He hangs around in that circle all day, who knows what mess he will encounter?

He might be like other stars, with all kinds of scandals, just like those flies flying around, annoying people. I don't want to worry about him being snatched away by others all day long, just like guarding a treasure, afraid that it will be stolen by a thief.

I want someone who is loyal and devoted to his feelings, who only has me in his eyes, as if I am the only treasure in his world. I can't trust Andy Lau in this regard, that is, 'a pig wearing a hat - it looks like a person, but it may not be reliable'. Who knows if he will be confused by those flowers and plants in the entertainment industry?"

The Water Shadow turned his eyes away from the corner of his clothes and looked at the Zhenwu Emperor. His eyes were as serious as if he was negotiating a price with a butcher. If they couldn't reach an agreement, there would be big trouble. His tone was as serious as if he was reading out a legal provision:

"Dad, please don't recommend anyone to me anymore. I have my own standards and requirements, just like I have a ruler to measure my future partner, and this ruler is very strict. I will find someone who is really right for me. This person doesn't have to be a celebrity, just like not everything that glitters is gold, and doesn't have to be rich, just like money can't necessarily buy happiness.

But he must be loving, just like we have some compassion for pigs when we kill them. Although we still have to kill them in the end, we can't abuse them. That's called "pigs have feelings, and people have to be more loving." He must have a sense of responsibility and be able to bear the burden of the family, just like we can carry a big fat pig. This is "if a pig can carry it, people must also be able to take responsibility." We can't run away when we encounter difficulties.

Be ambitious and work hard for life, just like we work hard to improve our skills in butchering pigs. This is "pigs need to be fat, people need to be ambitious", and we cannot do nothing all day. He should be able to accompany me when I need him, help me when I encounter difficulties, and share happiness with me when I am happy.

Only such a person can bring me true happiness, which is like 'a pig needs a good pen, a man needs a right partner, and happiness will last long'. I don't want to make do with my life."

After hearing what his daughter said, Emperor Zhenwu sighed slightly, as helpless as an old butcher seeing a pig that was difficult to kill, and his brows were furrowed like twisted dough sticks.

He knew his daughter was right, but he still felt that Andy Lau was a very good candidate, like holding a treasure in his hand and not wanting to let it go.

"My daughter, what you said makes sense. But Andy Lau is really an excellent person. His singing, acting and character are all his shining points, just like the best knives, the best craftsmanship and the best reputation in our slaughterhouse. That is, 'there are treasures in pigs, and Andy Lau has shining points'. You can't deny him because of some small problems, just like you can't throw away the whole pig because there is a small flaw on a piece of pork. Maybe you can try to understand him, maybe you will find that he is actually a very suitable person for you. Just like when we look down on a pig at first and think it doesn't look good, but later we find that its meat is particularly good, this is 'don't judge a pig by its appearance, Andy Lau may be suitable', just give him a chance."

The Mizukage shook his head, and that head shook like a rattle, as firmly as if he was rejecting a sick pig, with a determined expression on his face.

"Dad, I won't change my mind. I have no interest in Andy Lau and I don't want to get to know him, just like I don't want to eat food I don't like, no matter how delicious it looks, I don't want to try it.

I trust my own feelings, just as I trust my nose to smell a fragrance, and I will find my own happiness, just as a bird can find its own nest.

Please stop mentioning him, or I will be really angry. Just like we are in a slaughterhouse, if the pig is not suitable, don't force it. It's like 'the pig is not right, I can't have it, Andy Lau is not suitable for me', I don't want to force myself. "

Emperor Zhenwu smiled helplessly, that smile was like a flower wilted by the sun, and he said with a bit of helplessness and a bit of doting:

“Well, since you are so determined and as stubborn as a rock, I will not mention Andy Lau anymore.

However, you should hurry up and find the right person. You are not young anymore, it is time to think about your lifelong affairs. Just like we have to quickly pick out the good pigs and sell them, you should also quickly find a good person to marry and don’t let yourself be left alone.”

Mizukage nodded, and the movement of his head nodding was like a small hammer hitting the table. He said firmly and forcefully: "I know, Dad. I will work hard to find my happiness. But I won't just settle for it. I want to find someone who really makes my heart beat, just like finding a piece of jade among a pile of stones. Just like when we look for a good pig in a slaughterhouse, we have to pick and choose to see if the pig is fat and healthy. This is 'choose a good pig, find the right person, happiness is reliable'. I don't want to marry myself to just anyone."

The battlefield of life is full of challenges and hardships, just like being in a slaughterhouse, with blood and rain everywhere (metaphor for difficulties and setbacks). Although Zhenwu Emperor and Shuiying are in such an environment, their conversation continues, just like the noise in the slaughterhouse will never stop. And Andy Lau is still busy in the entertainment industry, conquering the audience with his singing, acting and charm, just like a brave warrior charging on the battlefield.

He didn't know that he had been recommended by Emperor Zhenwu to a girl as a son-in-law, just as he didn't know that there was a discussion about him in some corner, and he didn't know that he was criticized by the girl, just as he didn't know that someone was talking about him behind his back.

He just focuses on his work and life, and makes his way in this world, like a busy butcher, working hard for his career, cutting his future one knife at a time.

Perhaps, in this world, everyone has his or her own destiny and choice.

Some people will become stars and idols in the eyes of others, but they may not necessarily become someone's other half, just like those beautiful vases, which can only be used for appreciation but not for holding water.

Some people find their own happiness and true love in ordinary life, just like digging up treasure in their backyard. In any case, we should respect everyone's choice and believe that fate will give us the best arrangement, just like believing that God will give us a good hand of cards.

Just like in a slaughterhouse, everyone has his or her own tasks and position. Only by finding the right pigs can we make good pork and satisfy customers.

Similarly, only by finding the right person can you have true happiness and make your life enjoyable. This is the true meaning of life!
