Chapter Twenty-Nine: Embrace the Beauty
The music of the two classes sounded, and the woman said a blessing to everyone present and began to sing.
……
You are a born offspring, and you once occupied the surname Liu.
Ruthless and affectionate, just look at your smiling face to ask.
I am also smart in my heart, with a fake face and a hard mouth.
When he was to promise, how could this shame respond to his voice.
I saw him pretending, and I didn't worry about him often.
I look at these flowers and moon shadows, bleak and cold, according to him alone, according to the slave alone.
……
Only sang a sentence Wang Pu secretly cheered in his heart, this Kunshan water mill cavity is somewhat similar to the Huangmei Opera and Yue Opera of later generations, it sounds round and jade, which makes people feel like a spring breeze. sang to the wonderful place, everyone listened to it fascinated, and Wang Pu was also teased by the woman's shy and cowardly and amorous eyes.
Suzhou prefect Wang Shicheng saw it, and his face couldn't help showing a hint of pride.
After a song, everyone was immersed in the beautiful singing voice for a long time.
Wang Shicheng stood up suddenly, pointed at Wang Pu with a solemn hand and said to the singing woman: "Yuanyuan girl, do you know who this general is?" ”
Round girl?
Wang Pu's heart jumped when he heard this, could she be the peerless celebrity Chen Yuanyuan?
If it is really Chen Yuanyuan, it is no wonder, and only such a beautiful woman will make the Han annihilation of Wu Sangui and the king of thieves Li Zicheng so confused that they will be stunned, and finally cause an eternal tragedy of rushing to the crown and turning into a red face.
The woman looked at Wang Pu with bright eyes, and replied in a coquettish voice: "If the little woman is not mistaken, this young general must be General Wang Pu, who led a lone army deep into Liaodong and smashed Huang Longsheng to capture the slave chieftain." ”
Wang Shicheng smiled and said: "The round girl is really Bingxue smart, she can guess it, why don't the girl give General Wang a cup?" ”
The woman smiled and said, "General Wang is a great hero in the world, and the little woman should respect him." ”
After that, the woman Lianbu Shanshan walked up to Wang Pu, took the wine glass from the maid's hand, filled it, and said to Wang Pu: "General Wang, the little woman Chen Yuanyuan respects you." ”
Chen Yuanyuan, it's really Chen Yuanyuan!
Wang Pu stood up, raised his glass and smiled: "Yuanyuan girl, please." ”
The two were about to raise their glasses to each other, when a figure suddenly stood up from the adjacent table, raised his hand and shouted, "Wait." ”
Everyone was stunned, turned around one after another, and Chang Yanling, who was sitting next to Wang Pu, said softly: "Brother Wang, this guy is called Mao Xiang, the word is out of Xinjiang, Yangzhou Rugao is a famous talent in the south of the Yangtze River. ”
Brave the frontier, one of the four sons of the Restoration Society?
Over there, Wang Shicheng was already very unhappy and asked, "Mao Xiang, what do you want to do?" ”
"I didn't mean to offend General Wang." Mao Xiang arched his hand and said loudly, "I just think that today's banquet has delicious wine and food, and beautiful people singing and dancing. Therefore, it is proposed that if General Wang wants to drink this cup of wine from the round girl, he needs to write a poem, do you say okay? ”
Mao Xiang's words fell, and a few young men who were familiar with him echoed one after another.
Most of these young boys' minds are the same as Mao Xiang, and they all began to eat flying vinegar.
Wang Shicheng was so angry that his face turned blue, who in the world didn't know that most of the general soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were martial artists who couldn't read a lot of big characters, so didn't Wang Pufu write poems to force Zhang Fei to embroider? Mao Xiang just wanted to embarrass Wang Pu, the hatred in Wang Shicheng's heart, he knew that he shouldn't have invited this guy to make up the numbers today.
"Since the talented man thinks so highly of General Ben, then General Ben has no choice but to be ugly."
Contrary to Wang Shicheng's expectations, Wang Pu agreed to it.
Of course Wang Pu knew the sinister intentions of Mao Xiang, but he was really not afraid, wasn't he just making poetry? Wang Pu also went to college in his previous life, although he was only third-rate, but with his more than 300 years of poetry accumulation, wouldn't he just chant a few small poems? How can you be afraid of this unpopular "talent"?
Mao Xiang obviously didn't expect that Wang Pu, a martial artist, would agree so simply, and responded a little dryly at the moment: "Then, I have to listen to you." ”
Wang Pu turned his head, looked at Chen Yuanyuan with a smile, and casually chanted the little poem that Cao Xueqin praised Lin Daiyu in the Dream of Red Mansions with a slight modification:
The two bends seem to be frowning and not frowning,
A pair of eyes that seem to be happy but not happy.
Faint cheeks with spring,
Flaming red lips are seductive.
Three points of thin anger,
Seven points of coquettishness.
When it is quiet, it is like a flower shining on the water,
The action is like a weak willow supporting the wind.
The heart is more than the dry,
As beautiful as Xizi wins by three points.
Wang Pu had just finished chanting, and Wang Shicheng had already praised excitedly: "Good poem, good poem, use this poem by General Wang to describe the round girl, it is very appropriate, General Wang is both civil and military, and the lower officials admire, admire." ”
Chang Yanling and Li Zushu also coaxed, and the officials of Suzhou Mansion also applauded, Wang Pu casually chanted this little poem seems to be frivolous, but from the poem itself, it can be regarded as a rare good poem, especially using this poem to describe Chen Yuanyuan, it is really amazing.
Seeing Chen Yuanyuan's cheeks dizzy, looking at Wang Pu with shame and joy, Mao Xiang over there had even regretted his intestines, and originally wanted to make Wang Pu embarrassed in front of Chen Yuanyuan, but it turned out to be a great favor for Wang Pu, a martial artist, and let him take the opportunity to win the favor of the beauty.
Chen Yuanyuan raised his glass again and said shyly, "General, please." ”
Wang Pu smiled and said, "Yuanyuan girl, please." ”
The two clinked glasses gently, Wang Pu drank it all, but Chen Yuanyuan covered his face with his sleeves and stopped tasting it.
Everyone applauded, and Chang Yanling and Li Zushu were even more noisy.
"Haha, okay." Wang Shicheng applauded and laughed, got up and said, "The lower official has a proposal, you guys listen." ”
When everyone quieted down, Wang Shichengcai looked at Wang Pu and Chen Yuanyuan with a smile, and said: "As the saying goes, heroes love beauties, beauties respect heroes, General Wang is the great hero of the world, and Miss Yuanyuan is the first beauty in the south of the Yangtze River. ”
Two red clouds flew up on Chen Yuanyuan's face, and her beautiful eyes glanced at Wang Pu lightly, and then lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at Wang Pu's eyes again, but this look was enough to show her intentions, she Chen Yuanyuan was a thousand willing, ten thousand willing, even if she could only be a concubine for Wang Pu, she was willing.
Chen Yuanyuan dared to reveal her heart to Wang Pu so directly and boldly, which was related to the social atmosphere in Jiangnan at that time.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Jiangnan Shilin took the record of ** as a graceful thing, and the story of Qin Huaiyanji and literary talents to conclude a good relationship is not uncommon, and over time, the excellent prostitutes in Jiangnan have gradually formed a kind of atmosphere, once they meet the right object, they often dare to take the initiative to confess, dare to bravely pursue their own destiny.
Although Wang Pu is not a scholar genius, he is young and handsome, and the poem he casually gave just now is enough to prove that he is not just a martial artist, but a young talent with both civil and military skills! What's more, Wang Pugang has made great achievements for the imperial court, and is now a world-famous hero.
Since ancient times, beauties have respected heroes, which is not empty talk.
Encountering a master like Wang Pu, how could Chen Yuanyuan not be tempted?
Seeing Chen Yuanyuan's expression, Mao Xiang and the sons over there held their foreheads with their hands, revealing expressions of pain and disappointment.
Everyone's eyes are focused on Wang Pu, Chen Yuanyuan's willingness can be seen even by a blind person, and now it depends on whether Wang Pu wants to marry her.
This matter should be replaced by the Shilin geniuses at that time, such as the most jealous and eaten, due to the double pressure of secular and moral, maybe he would really refuse Chen Yuanyuan's affection. Everyone likes to act on the spot, but it takes courage to marry a fireworks girl back home, after all, if this thing is not done well, it will affect his worldly reputation and career future.
Most of the people present also felt that Wang Pu would politely decline Chen Yuanyuan's affection, after all, Wang Pu had just made a great contribution, and finally had the opportunity to become an important minister of the imperial court, if he ruined his future at this time because of Chen Yuanyuan, a fireworks woman, it would be too unworthy.
But Wang Pu is a modern person who has traveled over time, and the secular and moral pressures of ancient times have no binding force on him.
If a great beauty like Chen Yuanyuan wants to be replaced in the 21st century, how many people in the world will be fascinated? Such a big beauty will send it to the door by herself, if she refuses to get out, she will be struck by lightning!
In front of everyone's eyes, Wang Pu didn't speak, first picked up the wine jug and poured a glass of wine, took a sip of it himself, and then handed the wine glass to Chen Yuanyuan, Chen Yuanyuan obviously understood Wang Pu's intentions, and his face showed a look of shame and joy, took the glass of wine and took a shallow sip in front of everyone and handed it back to Wang Pu.
Wang Pu smiled, took the wine glass and drank it all, and then said aloud to everyone: "There is Lord Lao Wang and all the friends to testify, in the next day and today to make a love with the round girl with a glass of wine, make a marriage contract, and after returning to Beijing to face the saint, he will return to Jiangnan, pave the ground with red felt, and marry her in a sedan chair!" ”
Everyone showed incredible expressions on their faces, they were not only surprised that Wang Pu would accept Chen Yuanyuan without hesitation, but also surprised by Wang Pu's public promise.
In the Ming Dynasty, weddings were very knowledgeable, marrying wives had the pomp of marrying wives, and concubines had the attention to taking concubines.
Wang Pu wants to use red felt to pave the ground, and eight sedan chairs to marry Chen Yuanyuan through the door, which means that Chen Yuanyuan is Wang Pu's wife after marrying into the door, not a concubine, let alone an outer room, which means that Chen Yuanyuan will have the opportunity to be canonized by the emperor in the future and become a lady.
This is unimaginable for a dusty woman.
Chen Yuanyuan looked at Wang Pu with a look in her eyes that was not only shy, but more gentle, although she didn't care much about the orders of the imperial court, but anyway, Wang Pu could make a promise in public to marry her as a wife, which made her very moved. There are a lot of romances between Jiangnan Shilin and Fengchen Women, but there are many people who act on the spot, and few who treat each other sincerely, and there are even more people who are willing to marry Fengchen Women back home as their wives.
Although Chen Yuanyuan doesn't know much about Wang Pu's personality, just because he dares to make this oath in public, it can be seen that he is a real man with responsibility.
"Okay." Wang Shicheng laughed and said, "Then this banquet should be regarded as the engagement wine of General Wang and Yuanyuan Girl, and the lower officials will congratulate the two of you here first, hahaha." ”
Chang Yanling also got up and said happily: "Congratulations to the eldest brother for holding the beauty." ”
Other officials in Suzhou, big and small, also said goodbye.
"Thank you, thank you."
Wang Pu thanked him, Chen Yuanyuan took the opportunity to stand on Wang Pu's right hand, and saluted to everyone, the scene was like a newlywed couple thanking the guests who came to congratulate him, Li Zushu shouted strangely on the side: "Big brother, the new sister-in-law and many Qinhuai celebrities in the capital are handkerchiefs, don't you patronize a person who is happy and happy, and forget the little brother?" ”
"You guy." Wang Pu smiled and said to Li Zu, "Okay, little brother has written it down, and I will definitely be a matchmaker for you when the time comes." ”
