Chapter 1: First Sight
In the fourth spring of the Great Chu Qingli Dynasty, the emperor's capital was Fengnuma
Shao Ding, the general of the expedition to the north, was defeated in Dicheng in northern Xinjiang, and the Qiang Rong people were triumphant!
I heard that Shao Ding stationed a large army twenty miles outside the city, and brought his own soldiers into the imperial city Longchi to meet the ninety-five, and the people of the imperial capital poured out of the streets and alleys, welcoming them in the middle of the road, intending to see the demeanor of the famous generals. When the whole country celebrates, even the young ladies who were not allowed to go out in the past were allowed by the elders in the family to charter a private room in the restaurant next to the Vermilion Bird Avenue where Shao Ding passed, and take a look at it from a distance.
Manyan Huan Restaurant is located in Suzaku Avenue, today is naturally overcrowded, the shopkeeper's hand is soft, the mouth has not been closed for a day, then I saw a green curtain carriage stopped at the door, and hurriedly greeted it in person, only to see the carriage curtain was opened, a delicate and lovely little maid jumped down from the carriage lightly, and carefully helped out a young lady with a snow-white hat from the carriage. The shopkeeper is also well-informed, so many years, what kind of stunning beauty has not been seen, but for some reason, just look at this young lady standing in front of his shop, and he actually gave birth to the idea of wronging the young lady to such a vulgar place. The shopkeeper became more and more humble, and he didn't dare to talk to this young lady, so he only said to the maid, "The shop can only entertain scheduled guests today, I don't know ......."
The maid said, "Our young lady has booked a private room, and the head of the family is surnamed Yan." β
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, it turned out to be Yan Zhongcheng's only daughter, the famous first beauty in the capital, Yan Furong! He hurriedly said, "Please inside, please inside!" β
Speaking of Yan Furong, her reputation in the capital is comparable to that of General Shao Ding, and she is a household name, known to all ages. Because the queen mother three years ago in preparation for military funds, held a hairpin party in the imperial garden, each lady in the sideburns hairpin flowers, each son bid for flowers, others are just that, only Yan hibiscus, sideburns a three-drunk hibiscus actually auctioned a high price of 10,000 taels of gold. The bidder is a famous prodigal son in the capital, the nephew of the queen's mother, Cao Ruizhong, it is said that he took a picture of the drunken hibiscus, stepped forward to take the flowers, looked at Yan Hibiscus closely, and couldn't help sighing, "Ten thousand taels of gold, not as good as hibiscus." β
The name of Yan Hibiscus spread far and wide, and soon everyone knew it.
In the private room full of banquets, the shopkeeper had already retreated knowingly, leaving only Yan Furong and the maid Songyan. Songyan took off the hat for Yan Furong, revealing her face, and the room was sublimated, lining the originally lovely Songyan immediately ordinary and rude. Yan Furong took off her hat, walked quickly to the window, opened a narrow gap and looked out, only to see that the crowd downstairs was blocked by Jin Wuwei outside the official road, and couldn't help muttering, "I don't know if I can see Cousin Youqing for a while." β
Song Yan said, "Miss rest assured, Cheng Xin, Yi Shui will follow Young Master Youqing, and when the time comes, I will definitely follow the agreement and let Young Master Youqing appear in the front crowd on the opposite side, and you can definitely see Young Master Youqing." β
Yan Furong said, "I hope so." β
After a while, the noisy crowd seemed to hear something, and they all fell silent, and everyone heard the sound of horses stepping in unison like thunder. The people shouted, "General Zhengbei!" β
"General Zhengbei is here!"
On both sides of the private room, you can also hear the nobles of each family lowering their voices, talking about General Zhengbei in a reserved manner, but Yan Furong, seeing that everyone is paying attention to General Zhengbei at this time, she pushed the window open, looking for her sweetheart wholeheartedly.
The caravan turned the corner and appeared before the people, and among them was a tall steed carrying a man in light armor, with a sword at his waist, a tall figure, and a heroic spirit, who was obviously going on a pilgrimage, but with fine wine in his hand, and added a youthful and frivolous ruffian. This person is Shao Ding, the general of Zhengbei, he walked by on horseback, young and romantic, and blessed with a heroic halo, the nobles in the restaurant were blushing with shame, and the civilian women threw sachets and handkerchiefs one after another.
Shao Ding didn't care about this, he drank by himself, and Wei Donglou, the deputy general next to him, said sourly, "The general is really, envious of others!" Shao Ding glanced at him, this Wei Donglou is still alone in his thirties, Shao Ding is not a weak crown, and he dumped tens of millions of girls, which naturally made him laugh. Shao Ding took another sip of wine and said with a smile, "Don't say these useless, after four years of leaving Beijing, I don't believe you don't want to miss this drunken shade!" β
Wei Donglou closed his eyes and sniffed, revealing a greedy look, and sighed again, "The last general doesn't dare to face the saint with the smell of wine." β
Shao Ding laughed, smiled and said, "Donglou has a resolute heart, a hundred times stronger than me. I, Shao Ding, can't refuse three things in this world, the sword, the wine, and the beauty. If I can't enjoy it, it's no different from dying to me. β
He was about to walk to the front of the banquet at this time, Songyan glanced at him curiously, couldn't help but blush, and hurriedly calmed down and helped the young lady find Young Master Han Youqing. Yan Furong never took Shao Ding in her eyes, a pair of beautiful eyes were always patrolling the crowd opposite, and suddenly, a handsome scholar wearing a square scarf and wearing white clothes squeezed out of the crowd, Yan Furong shouted in surprise, "Cousin! Songyan also saw Han Youqing, let go of his heart, and couldn't help but look at Shao Ding again.
Han Youqing didn't stand firm after squeezing out of the crowd, so he smiled at Man Yanhuan first, Yan Furong waved at him, and saw that the crowd behind him was in a commotion because he squeezed in front of him, and Jin Wuwei, who was blocking in front of Han Youqing, did not stand firmly, and actually let Han Youqing be squeezed out of the crowd and fall on the official road! Fortunately, Shao Ding and the others are now just riding their horses slowly, and they are holding on to the horses lightly. Seeing this, the surrounding crowd fell silent for a while, holding their breath and waiting for things to develop.
Shao Ding jumped off his horse, "Scholar, is there something wrong?" β
Han Youqing hurriedly got up from the ground and knelt in front of Shao Ding, "Disturb the general, and hope for forgiveness." β
Shao Ding waved his hand absently, Wei Donglou behind him was afraid that he would say something harmless, and break the rules, so he couldn't help but stop talking, but fortunately, Shao Ding just said, "You didn't mean to, together with the Jin Wuwei who didn't block you, each beat ten military sticks to set an example." β
Han Youqing gritted his teeth and said, "General Xie! β
Since someone stepped forward and took away Han Youqing and Jin Wuwei, the people in the vicinity witnessed what happened, although they knew that Han Youqing was at fault, they couldn't help but feel sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox, which made Shao Ding's Manyan Huan Building much quieter than elsewhere. Yan Furong's voice was particularly crisp and sweet in this silence, "The general is famous, it's better to let that person go." β
Shao Ding squinted his eyes and looked over, there was a girl wearing a hat standing on the second floor of the banquet, and a little maid next to her blushed, wanting to stop the girl but didn't dare. Shao Ding laughed, there was a bit of real interest in his dark eyes, he threw it casually, and threw the wine bottle in his hand to Wei Donglou steadily, and the latter took a deep breath when he received it in his hand. Shao Ding stood on tiptoe, flew past a few rows of people in front of everyone's eyes, and stood outside the window on the second floor of Manyanhuan, with only a layer of white veil between his upper body and Yan Furong.
Seeing a person fly in front of her in the blink of an eye, the overly mellow and rich aroma of wine on his body lingered on the tip of Yan Furong's nose, making her suddenly a little drunk, and she didn't know how to retreat. Shao Ding slowly stretched out his hand to pick up her white veil, and said, "I can't stand the beauties begging me the most, if you are good-looking, I will ......"
He had already lifted the white veil, and Yan Furong's face was only half a fist away, and there were countless eyes behind him, but Shao Ding was suddenly speechless, and his eyes showed pure amazement and appreciation, "What's your name?" β
Yan Furong bit her lower lip, hesitated for a moment and said honestly, "Yan Furong." β
Shao Ding's figure had blocked all the eyes of the watchers, and he was the only one who saw Yan Furong, Rao was so, when he put down the white yarn with satisfaction, he carefully tidied it up, and then turned around and told SΓΉ Wei Donglou, "Let that scholar and Jin Wuwei go!" He turned around again and said softly to Yan Furong, "You wait for me to come back." β
Yan Furong only noticed that he said that he let Han Youqing go, and a sweet smile immediately bloomed on his face, even through the white veil, Shao Ding still couldn't help but be a little obsessed. He stepped forward to steal incense through the white veil, and then turned around and jumped down with light skills, just as he landed on horseback, Wei Donglou came over and asked him, "Are you such a light girl?" β
Shao Ding said, "We are happy with each other, talking nonsense." β
Wei Donglou glanced back, Yan Furong was wearing a hat, she couldn't see her expression clearly, but she neither cried nor left, it seemed that her heart was indeed tied to Shao Ding, and she couldn't help sighing, "Another flower is inserted in cow dung." He turned around again, but Shao Ding had already beaten his horse and walked away, Wei Donglou was confused, and hurriedly took a few guards to chase after him, "General! What are you doing! β
In the distance, Shao Ding's rushing voice came, "I want to find an official family to marry!" β
Behind them, Yan Furong's mind, who couldn't react to this qiΔ, was blank, standing stiffly in front of the window, Song Yan supported her worriedly, Yan Furong said blankly, "Song Yan...... What just happened? β
