Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

Zhou Jin was puzzled. He followed their gaze and saw Gu Xiling. He shook his head and chuckled. He gently waved the folding fan in his hand and said, "You are not a fish, so how do you know the joy of a fish?"

His wife is wonderful, and he wants to praise her to others, but he is afraid that if too many people know how wonderful his wife is, someone might come to snatch her away. What should he do?

"This..." Prince Qi Heng was stunned. How could he hear Zhou Jin's pride?

For a moment, I was speechless.

Li Mu used to have some conflicts with Zhou Jin. Wang Shiwen was jealous of Zhou Jin, but it was a covert jealousy. But Li Mu was jealous of Zhou Jin blatantly.

Pei Xingren cupped his hands, "Brother Zhou, I admire you. Your sister-in-law is as capable as any man, and it's really eye-opening."

Zhou Jin's eyes were bright and he smiled proudly, "People say I'm henpecked, but that's all nonsense. My wife treats me very well. Don't be surprised if she knows a little bit of boxing."

The three people were shocked. It was bad enough that this topic of being henpecked was spread by others, but was it appropriate for Zhou Jin to reveal it himself?

Where has the former Zhou Tanhua, who was so concerned about his reputation and was aloof and arrogant, gone?

While everyone was stunned, Gu Xiling saw Zhou Jin, the prince and others, and said to Zhou Jin coquettishly: "Husband, when you get to the wheat field, pick out the skinny ones and bring back some to stew pork ribs soup."

"My wife's order, I've made note of it!" Zhou Jin responded loudly, "It's too hot outside, go back early."

"Okay!" Gu Xiling agreed, bowed deeply, and went home with the maid.

Gu Xiling at this moment was virtuous and elegant, which was very different from her fierce appearance as she chopped meat with a knife just now.

Prince Qi Heng was quite curious and hesitated to speak. After all, this was a minister's wife and he was the king, so he could not comment on it.

Li Mu didn't have so many taboos. He couldn't hold it back and wanted to ridicule Zhou Jin, as if he could win if he talked about Zhou Jin.

"Zhou Jin, my sister-in-law is very different from other women. She showed no shyness when she saw us."

Zhou Jin glanced at Li Mu who was looking up, "My wife is graceful, virtuous, and a model of a good wife. There is no rule for women from Kangguo to be shy when they see men! Can't we be happy and excited? Can't we be in high spirits?"

Pei Xingren smiled and said, "There are thousands of women in the world, all different, and we really can't generalize. If they were all the same, it would be so boring."

When Prince Qi Heng saw his cousin being humiliated, he was very happy and even more excited to stir up trouble. "Sir Zhou, you and your wife are deeply in love, and your beauty is enviable. How about you compose a poem to suit the occasion?"

Li Mu wanted to refute, but after hearing this, he immediately changed his tone, "Yes, I envy you. Lord Zhou, can you compose a poem to express your feelings?"

Pei Xingren smiled awkwardly, "Good words and sentences don't come around all the time."

"Haha!" Zhou Jin laughed out loud, gently shaking the folding fan in his hand, as if he had become the scholar who "rids his horse at a gallop in the spring breeze and sees all the flowers in Chang'an in one day".

"What's so difficult about this? Listen, the carriages are far away, the horses are galloping. You travel east and east, how can you fly to chase the west wind? I wish I were like a star and you were like the moon, shining brightly every night. The moon is temporarily dark, but the stars are always bright. Stay bright and wait for the moon to come back, and the three or five days will be full together." (Excerpt from "The Carriage Is Far Away" by Fan Chengda of the Southern Song Dynasty)

Prince Qi Heng listened carefully and was shocked.

In just such a short while, you can compose a poem?

Pei Xingren opened his mouth slightly, his admiration for Zhou Jin was like a surging river, endless, "Brother Zhou, good poetry!"

Zhou Jin cupped his hands, the corners of his mouth curled up, "Thank you!"

Prince Qi Heng didn't spend much time with Zhou Jin. He mostly saw Zhou Jin when his father was sorting out government affairs.

He had also heard that Zhou Jin was a talented poet, and he had read quite a bit of it.

Some of the poems are indeed good, but some are a bit sour, and some are very sharp, especially the one some time ago when he called his uncle a "big rat". No wonder my cousin hates Zhou Jin.

After all, my uncle is a big rat and my cousin is a small rat.

Privately, the prince was a little unhappy because Zhou Jin scolded his uncle.

But Yu Gong, he is the crown prince, and the things done by the officials under his uncle are indeed worthy of criticism.

It was only because my father took into consideration that my uncle was his helper that he did not punish him severely.

Li Mu's back teeth were squeaking as he clenched his teeth, letting Zhou Jin take the lead again!

Even though he had not been convinced before, Li Mu now had to admit that the poem Zhou Jin had just written was good.

"Lord Zhou, what is the name of this word?" asked Prince Qi Heng. It was also a highlight when he went back today and chatted with his father.

Zhou Jin smiled and replied, "To the prince, 'The Car is Far Away'."

Prince Qi Heng was stunned, and the more he thought about it, the more meaningful it seemed.

I have to say that Zhou Jin's poetry has improved more than before!

Li Mu was nitpicking, "Master Zhou, you live with your wife day and night, so why are you so busy? Could it be that you are obsessed with other women and are writing poems to express your longing for them?"

When Zhou Jin heard this, he did not get angry easily like he did before. Instead, he answered loudly, "Sorry to bother you, Lord Li. I have no other favorite woman except my wife. This song is based on my dream that I was an official in a foreign country and was very far away from my wife. After waking up, I still couldn't calm down the longing in my dream, so I wrote it."

Li Mu raised his eyebrows and retorted, "It is said that Gu Xirong and Brother Zhou, two beautiful girls in the capital, were in love with each other. But fate plays tricks on us. I thought this poem was written for the eldest daughter of the Gu family!"

Zhou Jin originally thought of Li Mu for the sake of the crown prince and because of his calm personality after getting married, so he did not confront him as much as before.

But Li Mu was so good that he actually brought up all the things that happened before the marriage.

He had just reconciled his past grudges with his wife and was getting on well. Li Mu's words today successfully provoked Zhou Jin.

"I'm married, Miss Gu is married, the past is gone. Zhou has always acted out of emotion and ended with courtesy, and there is nothing rude about it."

"Those things, to a man like me, are just romantic affairs, but to a married woman, they have a great impact. Lord Li, please don't be a gossipy woman and tarnish the reputation of others."

Zhou Jin did not object to the fact that he had a youthful love for Gu Xirong.

As one of the two beauties in Beijing, Gu Xirong had many admirers, and Zhou Jin was just one of them. At that time, Gu Xirong had an engagement with his Gu family.

At that time, he didn't know about Gu Xiling's existence. He thought Gu Xirong was his fiancée, so he showed some expression, which was not a reckless act.

"Zhou Jin, who are you calling a gossip?" It was the first time that Li Mu was confronted like this by someone, and someone even called him a gossip.

It’s tolerable, it’s unbearable!

"Humph!" Zhou Jin snorted arrogantly, "Whoever agrees will be the one to say it!"

Zhou Jin's arrogant look is almost the same as the temperament of the goose that Old Man Li once described. Not only does it quack, but it will also pinch you hard if you catch it!

"You..." Li Mu glared at Zhou Jin, but didn't know how to refute.

Pei Xingren quickly stopped Li Mu who was about to rush forward, "Brother Li, this is a matter of the past. It is not appropriate to tease a woman behind her back as it damages her reputation. Today, we are here to visit Fanmai. Other things are not important."

Prince Qi Heng had witnessed Zhou Jin's "fighting power" with his own eyes. No wonder he made his uncle so angry that he smashed so many cups. Now his cousin was no match for him!

At the same time, he finally understood why his father often praised Zhou Jin.

Although he has a bad mouth, he has real skills.
