My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 4095

Looking at Gu Molan's pretty face, which was full of grievances, Liu Mingzhi smiled and twirled his pipe a few times.

"Lan Ya".

Gu Molan heard her brother-in-law's soft call, and her beautiful face was still full of grievance as she responded to Young Master Liu.

"Yes, my little sister's here. Brother-in-law?"

Liu Mingzhi first slightly flipped his right hand holding the pipe, then chuckled and raised the pipe, tapping it lightly against his left shoulder with the bowl.

"Hehehe, Lan Ya, good sister, what a fine example of 'wanting to accuse someone, one can always find a pretext'!"
Tsk tsk tsk, tsk tsk tsk.

Lan Ya, Lan Ya, I am truly impressed by you.

Not only did they accept it verbally, but they also accepted it in their hearts.

If I didn't know the truth in my heart, judging from your aggrieved expression and the aggrieved tone in your voice just now, even I would have to wonder if I had wronged you again.

Upon hearing her brother-in-law's words, Gu Molanya immediately retorted in a huff, "Brother-in-law, judging from your tone and manner of speaking, haven't you wronged me again?"

Liu Mingzhi listened to Gu Molan's angry rebuttal and raised an eyebrow with a smile.

Then, while tapping his left shoulder lightly with the pipe bowl, he lifted his foot and began to slowly pace back down.

"Lan Ya, Lan Ya, good girl, I must say, your ability to turn the tables is truly remarkable!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Molanya gave a coquettish stomp on her lotus foot, and then quickly got up and started pacing back and forth with her brother-in-law.

"Oh dear, you stinky brother-in-law, what kind of talk is that? When did I ever turn the tables on you!"

Liu Mingzhi smacked his lips lightly twice and tilted his head slightly to look at Gu Molanya.

"Lanya, don't you have one?"

Gu Molanya met Liu Dashao's gaze without flinching, and asked him a question with a coquettish expression.

"Have it?"

"There's none?"

"Have it?"

Liu Mingzhi listened to his sister-in-law's question once again and nodded with a faint smile.

Yes, there is!

Upon seeing her brother-in-law suddenly change his tone, Gu Molanya was slightly taken aback. After realizing what was happening, she quickly shook her head a few times at Young Master Liu.

"Mmm, no, little sister doesn't have any."

Liu Mingzhi stopped tapping his shoulder with the pipe bowl with a faint smile, and raised his right hand to gently tidy up his hair, which was a little messy from the night wind blowing in his face.

"Lan Ya, do you know?"

Upon hearing Young Master Liu's question, Gu Molanya's beautiful face immediately showed confusion.

"Um, brother-in-law, what?"

Liu Mingzhi casually tossed the hair he was holding behind his neck, turned around with a smile, and exchanged a glance with Gu Molan, who was looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"Lan Ya, I sincerely hope that you can become a man like me."

In that case, I, as your elder brother, can also get you into the imperial court of our Great Dragon Dynasty.

With your eloquence and talent, Lan Ya, given time, you will surely thrive in the halls of power.

After hearing her brother-in-law's reply, Gu Molanya raised her fair and delicate hand and gently scratched her fair and slender neck with a charming and innocent expression.

Hehehe, hehe~ hehehe.

"Brother-in-law, you're joking with me again."

I know my situation all too well.

With my meager knowledge—I haven't even finished reading all the Four Books and Five Classics—how could I possibly be cut out to be an official?

Let me say something a little harsh: with my meager skills, which are hardly worthy of serious consideration, if I were to actually go to the imperial court and deal with those old foxes who have been navigating the officialdom for years, I reckon I'd be sold out and still be helping them count the money!
To put it more seriously, I might not even know how I died.

So, brother-in-law, you really flatter me.

After hearing his sister-in-law's charming reply, Liu Mingzhi smiled and raised his right arm to wave at Gu Molanya.

"Hey! Lanya, my dear sister, you're making a big mistake if you think like that."

A person who excels in this field of study is not necessarily destined to be a good official.

A person's excellent scholarship only indicates that he or she is intelligent.

However! Being an official is not something that can be accomplished simply by being good at academics.

Lan Ya, let me tell you this.

If, in the imperial court, someone is chosen based solely on their scholarship and given important responsibilities and power, then it wouldn't be long before the world descends into chaos.

Conversely, those who are not particularly learned may still excel in their official duties.

After pondering for a moment with her beautiful eyes slightly turned, Gu Molan glanced at Young Master Liu with a smile, gently turning her fair and slender neck.

"Brother-in-law, I understand what you mean."

As you just said, just because someone is good at academics doesn't necessarily mean they can be a good official.

I agree with what you said, brother-in-law.

However, if a person cannot even master the most basic knowledge, then that person is certainly not suitable to be an official.

Coincidentally, I am exactly that kind of person.

As Gu Molanya finished speaking in a soft and gentle tone, she let out a long breath with her lips slightly parted.

"call!"

"Brother-in-law, you should know that the distinction between those who are good at scholarship and those who are not so good at scholarship you just mentioned is based on those in the imperial court, not on ordinary people."

Whether a person's scholarship is good or bad depends on who they are compared to.

Compared to those who have achieved the highest level of scholarship, they are naturally inferior.

However, compared to ordinary people in the world, it's like comparing a thoroughbred to a nag.

Brother-in-law, according to the rules for selecting officials in our Great Dragon Dynasty, even those people you just mentioned who weren't very learned were at least officials who had passed the imperial examination!

"Children, scholars, provincial graduates, those who have passed the imperial examinations, those who have passed the first level of the imperial examinations, the third-ranking scholars, the second-ranking scholars, and the top scholar. Brother-in-law, with the limited knowledge I have, let alone passing the first level of the imperial examinations, even if I were to manage to pass the first level of the imperial examinations, it would be a stroke of luck from heaven and my ancestors."

After speaking eloquently for a long time, Gu Molanya smiled and gently loosened her shoulder towards Young Master Liu.

"Hehehe, so you see, I'm just not cut out to be an official."

As soon as Gu Molanya finished speaking with a cheerful laugh, Young Master Liu immediately began to swing his arms gently with a big smile on his face.

"Lan Ya, my dear sister, I never expected you to have such awareness!"

"I see, I underestimated your awareness."

Gu Molanya raised her hand and gently tapped her pretty nose a couple of times. She smiled sweetly and said softly to Young Master Liu, "Brother-in-law, it's not that I'm enlightened, but that I have enough self-awareness."

Outsiders may not know my situation, but surely I know it myself?
The most valuable thing in life is self-awareness!

Upon hearing Gu Molanya's last words, Liu Mingzhi immediately nodded in agreement and turned to her.

"Yes! The most valuable thing in life is self-awareness."

"Lan Ya".

"Hey, I'm here, brother-in-law, what are you saying? I'm listening!" Gu Molanya heard her brother-in-law's soft call and immediately turned to look at him, responding sweetly.

Liu Mingzhi stopped gently swinging his arms and casually put his hands behind his back with a smile.

"Lan Ya, good sister, you only know that you have enough self-awareness, but you don't know that if you want to be a good official, the most important thing is to have self-awareness."

The worst thing for someone in a high position is to lack self-awareness.

If a person lacks self-awareness, he is destined not to go far in the halls of power.

Lan Ya, your awareness shows that you are born to be an official.

It's such a pity, such a pity, Lanya, that you're not a man!

After listening to her brother-in-law's words, which were tinged with a touch of emotion, Gu Molanya smiled and gently tugged at the outer robe on her shoulders with her slender, white hands.

"Brother-in-law, what's the pity about it?"
Brother-in-law, don't forget, I am now the little princess of the Kingdom of Gumo!

Even if I were to be a man, I would still be the little prince of the Gu Mo Kingdom.

In that case, how desperate must I be to run to the imperial court of our Great Dragon and become a subject for you, brother-in-law!

Brother-in-law, there's a saying that goes, "Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix."

Isn't Your Highness content to stay obediently in the Kingdom of Gumo, enjoying the finest food and drink, and indulging in all the riches and glory of the world?

Who is this?

"Isn't that carefree and unrestrained?"

As Gu Molan spoke softly, she quickened her pace slightly, then smiled and leaned closer to Young Master Liu, her slender waist barely encircling her.

"Brother-in-law, I have a question for you."

"If you were me, under the same circumstances, would you run off to become an official in our Great Dragon's court?"

When Liu Mingzhi heard Gu Molanya asking him a question with a smile, his expression immediately turned strange.

A moment later, he first raised his hand and gently tapped his brow, then turned and looked at Gu Molanya with a smile.

"Hehehe, Lan Ya, good sister. To be honest, after spending so much time together, I've almost forgotten about your other identity."

Upon hearing this, Gu Molanya smiled broadly and raised her slender arm to wave at Young Master Liu.

"Oh, brother-in-law, it's not important, it's not important at all."

If you forgot, you forgot. It's okay that you've forgotten. It's alright now that you remember.

Brother-in-law, I just want to know, under the same circumstances, would you run off to become an official in our Great Dragon's court?

After pondering for a moment with his eyes slightly darting around, Liu Mingzhi smiled and gently shook his head at Gu Molanya, who was looking at him with a face full of curiosity.

"Lan Ya, to be frank, I, as your brother, will never go to the halls of our Great Dragon to become an official."

As for why I won't go, it's just like what you just said to me, Lanya.

Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.

As a prince of a country, he could have stayed in his own kingdom and lived a life of luxury and carefree existence. Only someone with a screw loose would run to the court of the Great Dragon to become a subject.

As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to be treated the same way."

Although I am now the ruler of our Great Dragon Dynasty, many years ago I was also a subject!

Lanya, my dear sister, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart.

Being a subject is really not a pleasant feeling.

After listening to her brother-in-law's eloquent words, Gu Molanya smiled and replied sweetly, "Brother-in-law, under the same circumstances, even you don't want to go to our Great Dragon's court to become an official, which means that my idea is the most correct one."

Brother-in-law, if you think about it this way, do you still think it's a pity that my younger sister wasn't born a man?

When Liu Mingzhi heard his aunt ask him this question, he frowned slightly and pondered for a moment before letting out a long breath with a sigh of regret.

"Lan Ya, whether it's a pity or not depends on whose perspective you're looking at it from."

If you look at it from your perspective, then of course it's not a pity at all.

Conversely, from my perspective as your elder brother, it is naturally a great pity.

Upon hearing this, Gu Molan asked in a confused voice, "Hmm? Brother-in-law, why is that?"

Liu Mingzhi slowly stopped and turned around to look at Gu Molanya with a smile on his face.

"why?"

When Gu Molan saw her brother-in-law stop, she quickly stopped as well.

Then, she nodded her head slightly and replied in a sweet voice to Young Master Liu, "Mmm, that's right, why?"

Liu Mingzhi looked at Gu Molanya, who had stopped walking, and chuckled a few times.

"Hahaha, Lanya, my good sister, that's because I, your brother, have lost a quick-witted and eloquent minister!"

Upon hearing her brother-in-law's words, Gu Molanya immediately stamped her lotus foot lightly with a coquettish expression.

"Oh dear, brother-in-law, look at you, you're joking with me again."
