I opened the Ming Dynasty

"My daughter, your father has another person to recommend to you. This person will definitely be a good match for you." The voice of Emperor Zhenwu was like a huge bell, buzzing and echoing in the clouds, making the surrounding clouds seem to tremble a few times.

Emperor Zhenwu smiled slightly, his eyes sparkling with excitement as if he had discovered a treasure. "This person is Xiao Shenyang. You know, Xiao Shenyang is very famous in the world, just like the most noisy piglet in the pigpen, who immediately attracts everyone's attention. His achievements and honors are too numerous to count, just like the hair on the pig's body, dense and dense."

Emperor Zhenwu began to talk about Xiao Shenyang's brilliant achievements with great excitement. "My daughter, listen to me carefully. Xiao Shenyang became famous overnight with a skit called "We Are Not Short of Money" on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. He was as famous as the blood that flows out after a pig is slaughtered, instantly dyeing the country red. At that time, every household was talking about Xiao Shenyang. His name was like a star that was so bright that it could blind pigs' eyes, illuminating the entire entertainment industry. That guy was simply a superstar pig in the entertainment industry."

"His performance on the stage was so wonderful. His humor and wit could make the audience laugh so hard that they cried, even more exaggerated than when a pig was tickled. His classic lines, such as 'One closes your eyes, one opens them, and a day has passed, howl~', 'This is possible, but this is really not possible', are still talked about by people today, just like the tunes that pigs always like to hum, which are unforgettable. His performance style is unique. He has the boldness and generosity of people in the Northeast, just like the boldness of the big stupid pig in the Northeast, and delicate emotional expression, like the gentleness of a piglet. He is like a messenger of joy, bringing endless joy and laughter to people, which is happier than a pig rolling in a mud pit." While speaking, the Great Emperor Zhenwu was dancing with his hands and feet, as if he had returned to the wonderful moment of Xiao Shenyang on the Spring Festival Gala stage, and he looked like an excited pig doing tap dance.

"Moreover, Xiao Shenyang not only has outstanding achievements in sketches. He also has outstanding performances in film and television. Although not every movie he has participated in can become a classic, his efforts and contributions are seen by everyone, just like a pig's efforts to find food, which is admirable. Some of the characters he created in the movies are honest and cute, like the cute little piglets; some are smart and brave, like the brave wild boars. Each one left a deep impression on the audience, just like the footprints left by the pig in the mud. Just like the movie "Laughing in the Rivers and Lakes", his performance in it is remarkable, allowing people to see more possibilities for him beyond comedy performances, just like a pig suddenly learning to dance ballet." A proud look appeared on the face of the Zhenwu Emperor, as if Xiao Shenyang was the proudest piglet he had raised.

"And, daughter. Xiao Shenyang has also dabbled in the field of directing. He has his own ideas and creativity, and dares to try new things, just like a brave little pig exploring a new mud pit. Although his path as a director may still be full of challenges and difficulties, his courage and determination are worthy of praise, just like the bravery of the little pig facing the big wolfdog. He is like a brave pioneer, constantly exploring and advancing on the road of art, just like a pig opening up new foraging grounds in the forest." The Great Emperor Zhenwu became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes full of admiration and expectation for Xiao Shenyang, as if he was expecting Xiao Shenyang to become a golden super pig king.

However, Mizukage was unmoved. She frowned slightly, with a hint of disdain in her eyes, as if she was looking at a dirty pig. "Father, the Xiao Shenyang you mentioned may have achieved some success in the world. But in terms of cooking, acting, and directing, he has a bad record that cannot be ignored."

The tone of the Mizukage was firm and sharp, like a sharp sword that pierced the enthusiasm of the Zhenwu Emperor, and like a butcher knife that instantly cut off the pig's dream. "This Xiao Shenyang knows nothing about cooking. He has never studied or worked hard on cooking. How can he make delicious meals for his family? How can a person who doesn't even enter the kitchen understand the true meaning of life? Just like a pig who has never known what a kitchen is, how can it make delicious pig food?" The Mizukage said, shaking his head, with a disappointed look on his face, as if he was extremely disappointed with a pig who couldn't cook.

"In terms of acting, although he has had some works, his acting skills are often criticized. His performance is too exaggerated and lacks depth and connotation, like a pig that can only hum blindly and has no real soul. He always repeats his own performance pattern and does not really explore the inner world of the character. How can such acting be convincing? How can he become a good actor? Just like a pig that can only roll in a mud pit, how can it become a star in the pig world?" Mizukage's eyes were full of doubts, and her words hit the heart of Zhenwu Emperor like a heavy hammer, as loud as a hammer hitting a pig's head.

"As for his directing talent, he is even more disappointing. His directorial works lack creativity and depth. He just blindly pursues funny and lively things, just like a group of piglets making a fuss, without any meaning. He has not really thought about how to use the language of film to express a profound theme, how to touch the hearts of the audience. With such directing talent, how can people look forward to his future works? It is as unrealistic as expecting a pig that only knows how to eat and sleep to make an Oscar-winning blockbuster." The Mizukage's tone became more and more severe, her eyes fixed on the Zhenwu Emperor, as if waiting for his response, like an angry sow staring at her owner for food.

Emperor Zhenwu was speechless by his daughter's question. He was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "My daughter, what you said is not without reason. But no one is perfect. Xiao Shenyang may have some shortcomings in cooking, acting, and directing, but this does not negate his efforts and achievements. After all, he is a mortal and has his own growth process. We cannot completely deny him because of his past. Just like we cannot deny that a piglet can become a good pig when it grows up just because it was naughty when it was young."

Mizukage sneered after hearing his father's words. "Father, you are too lenient. Cooking, acting, and directing are important manifestations of a person's life and art. If a person cannot be perfect in these aspects, how can he become a person worthy of entrusting his life to? I would rather be alone all my life than entrust my happiness to an unreliable person. Just like I would rather be alone in a pigsty than be with an unreliable pig."

Emperor Zhenwu sighed. He knew his daughter was stubborn and once she made up her mind, it would be hard to change. "Okay, daughter. Since you are so determined, I will not force you. But you should know that it is not easy to find a suitable partner. You can't always be so picky. It's just like it's not easy to find a perfect pig in a pigsty."

The Mizukage raised his chin slightly, his eyes revealing a firm belief. "Father, I'm not picky. I'm just looking for someone who is truly worthy of entrusting my life to. Someone who is talented, responsible, and has a sense of responsibility. I believe that such a person will eventually appear. Just like I believe that a perfect pig king will eventually appear in the pigpen."

Above the clouds, the argument between father and daughter came to a temporary end. But they both knew in their hearts that this discussion about love and marriage might start again one day in the future. And Mizukage will continue to look for her Mr. Right in the vast sea of ​​people. As for Xiao Shenyang, it seems that he has no chance to become the son-in-law of the Zhenwu Emperor. But what does it matter? After all, love cannot be forced, and everyone has their own choices and pursuits. And Mizukage will also bravely pursue her own happiness on her own life path, just like a brave little pig looking for the most delicious pig food and the most comfortable mud pit.
