Chapter 22: The Proud Man
Any beauty is enough to make people feel amazing. It's really hard to describe in words what kind of feeling eight beautiful women feel suffocated to stay together. Under the gaze of the women, Cao Yue, who had always been calm and calm, was also a little uncomfortable, but he still nodded politely at everyone with a bright smile.
Chen Yuanyuan proudly stood beside Cao Yue and said to the sisters: "Sisters, last time General Cao came to Qingxianglou and wrote a military song on the spot, hoping that the little sister could compose music for him. The little sister didn't dare to refuse, so she reluctantly made it difficult and finally wrote it. Today, I invite General Cao to come over, and the sisters are also appreciative, and the little sister wants to ask the general and the sisters to give advice. Chen Yuanyuan said, smiled sweetly at Cao Yue, and said in a coquettish voice: "General, if you are satisfied with the music composed by the little girl, you will visit Qingxianglou a few more times in the future; If you are not satisfied, please punish the general!"
As soon as Chen Yuanyuan's words were finished, someone immediately started to coax, "Sister Yuanyuan, how do you want the general to punish you?" It's not going to make him ......."
"If it's a sister, why are you making fun of your little sister!" Before the woman's words were finished, Chen Yuanyuan interrupted her in a coquettish voice, looking unforgiving.
Cao Yue's eyes immediately fell on the beautiful woman who had been coaxed just now. "If it is my sister", this woman who is not the most beautiful in Bayan, but the most heroic, should be the Liu Rushi who is very respected by future generations.
Cao Yue, who has read the history of the late Ming Dynasty, knows the story of this Qin Huai famous trick, "the nobility of his ambitions, the generosity of his actions, and the euphemism and fierceness of his words, which are not true patriots," this is the evaluation of Liu Ruye by later generations, and his character can also be seen from the evaluation of these few sentences.
It can be said that this is the most chaste woman in Qin Huai Bayan, and now she can't help but look at it twice.
It is said in the history books. This woman seems to be married to Qian Qianyi, a famous man in Jiangnan, as if she was just before the death of the Ming Dynasty. But seeing that Liu Ru is still in the courtyard of the Qinglou, he should not have learned from Qian Qianyi yet. But Cao Yue didn't know that now this man and woman, who have a big age difference, will not have a relationship.
Liu Ruyi, who made fun of Chen Yuanyuan, also set his eyes on Cao Yue, with a look of scrutiny. The eyes of the two met together. Liu Ru did not look shy, she looked at Cao Yue very generously, and her eyes full of curiosity and exploration did not shy away at all. And Cao Yue, who was smiling. didn't hide their eyes, the two of them stared at each other for a while.
It wasn't until someone else discovered the abnormality that Liu Ru looked away. But after moving away, he didn't forget to look back at Cao Yue twice.
The gaze with Cao Yue made her heart feel strange, she had never seen a man who looked at her so calmly and conceitedly as Cao Yue. This man, full of self-confidence, does not seem to be afraid of anything, and he does not look into the eyes of beautiful women as obscene and demanding as other men. The smile is very sunny and calm, such a smile and a handsome face full of masculinity, she feels a little excited.
Chen Yuanyuan also saw the eye contact between the two, and even found the strangeness of Liu Ru's eyes. I felt uncomfortable for a while, a little sour. But at this time, another sister made fun of her again: "Sister Yuanyuan, just let General Cao take you into the room." Then you can be at his mercy, and you can discuss the music at any time. After the affection, I think about it, I can also say, hehe!"
With a few words, Chen Yuanyuan was embarrassed, just now because she saw Cao Yue and Liu Ru is eye contact, she couldn't help but feel ashamed, and rushed forward to tear each other's mouths, "Xiao Shen'er, your little hooves also follow Sister Ru to make fun of me, see if I don't tear your mouth." ”
The one who made fun of Chen Yuanyuan later was Li Xiangjun of Meixianglou, whose stage name is Xiangshen'er, she has a mellow singing voice, but she doesn't sing easily with others; Silk and bamboo pipa, music and poetry are also all incomprehensible, especially good at playing and singing "Pipa Records", in the early years, he fell in love at first sight with Hou Fangyu, one of the four sons of the Fushe, and vowed not to marry Hou Fangyu. It's just that now Hou Fangyu can't save enough money to redeem her, so the matter hasn't been done yet. But when she saw Li Xiangjuan, who jumped out of the hope of the Qinglou and could stay with the person she loved, her face was full of happiness. She also saw that Chen Yuanyuan fell in love with Cao Yue at first sight and had a conscientious intention, so there is such a joke today.
The two women laughed and fought together, and the other sisters covered their mouths and laughed, and they both understood what was going on. But they still looked at Cao Yue with bold eyes, although most of them have seen all kinds of men and have fallen in love with people, but Cao Yue's reputation, Cao Yue's military exploits, and his temperament and demeanor, those men I have seen before, there is really no way to compare.
The most reserved Dong Xiaowan hid aside, only daring to look at Cao Yue secretly with her eyes, and when Cao Yue's eyes swept over, she quickly dodged.
These women, although they have their own experiences, and some even have a lot of emotional twists and turns, but they are all young women in their twenties, and they have a lot of expectations in terms of feelings, and they all hope that a hero with both talent and appearance can come to them and take them away. And now Cao Yue is very much in line with the image of their lover in their minds.
Cao Yue is tall and handsome, and several battles have stained his face with some vicissitudes, without the childishness and immaturity that a man of this age should have, without the lightness and prodigality, the temperament that is invisibly revealed, and there is a feeling of contempt for everything. These women, who have ever seen a man with such a bearing, no one in the royal family has such a temperament as Cao Yue, and a few women who don't like men in their hearts at the moment can't help but think strangely.
A woman like Li Xiangjuan, who has a little emotional connection with other men, is also amazed by Cao Yue's extraordinary bearing and appearance, and unconsciously compares herself with the man in her heart.
Although there are emotional factors to add points, they have to admit that the general Cao in front of them is really very good, and it is no exaggeration to say that any woman will like it when she sees it. It is no wonder that Princess Kunxing, the favorite of the emperor today, fell in love with Cao Yue at first sight after seeing him, and even did not hesitate to surrender her identity and follow Cao Yue to Nanjing.
What's even worse is that Cao Yue looked like he had high eyes, and he didn't look at any woman differently, and even Chen Yuanyuan, who he knew first, didn't treat her as a special person. You must know that Chen Yuanyuan is the most arrogant of the eight Yan, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see him, and it is impossible for her to do so even if she spends a lot of money. And this arrogant sister actually surrendered her identity in front of Cao Yue and succumbed to cater, but this has not been exchanged for Cao Yue's other eyes.
Looking at Chen Yuanyuan's expression now, he should be very fond of Cao Yue, but he is worried that the other party will not look down on her.
Such a man is really hard to find, and some women who have no home secretly have their thoughts. (To be continued.) )
