The music of the two classes started to play, and the woman told everyone present that she had a blessing and started singing.

...

You are born with a young man and once possessed a strong liu nature.

It is heartless and affectionate, and I just look at your smiling face and ask.

I am also smart, with a ruthless face and a ruthless mouth.

When I was about to accept it, how could this shame respond to his voice?

When I saw him, I was hypocritical, and I kept worrying about him.

I saw these flowers, moon shadows, and the coldness, shining on him alone, and on his own.

...

After singing only one sentence, Wang Pu secretly yelled in his heart. The water-melting romance in Kunshan is somewhat similar to the Huangmei Opera and Yue Opera in later generations. It sounds round and smooth, making people feel like spring breeze. When the singing is exciting, everyone is fascinated by the woman's shyness and timidity, and his heart is surging.

The Suzhou magistrate Wang Shi was prejudiced and a hint of pride appeared on his face.

After the song ended, everyone was immersed in the beautiful singing style for a long time and could not extricate themselves.

Wang Shicheng suddenly stood up, pointed his hand at Wang Pu and said to the woman who was singing: "Miss Yuanyuan, do you know who this general is?"

Miss Yuanyuan?

Wang Pu's heart was thrilled when he heard this. Could she be the peerless beauty Chen Yuanyuan?

If it were Chen Yuanyuan, it would be no wonder. Only such a beautiful woman would have confused the traitor Wu Sangui and the thief King Li Zicheng, and eventually led to an eternal tragedy of arrogance that would make her angry and beauties.

The woman looked at Wang Pu with a full look and replied in a sweet voice: "If the little woman was not wrong, this young general must have led his alone army to Liaodong and attacked General Wang Pu, who captured the slave chief alive."

Wang Shicheng smiled and said, "Miss Yuanyuan is so smart. She can guess it. Why don't you respect General Wang for a cup?"

The woman smiled and said, "General Wang is a great hero of the world, and the little woman should respect him."

After saying that, the woman Lianbu Shanshan walked to Wang Pu, took the wine glass from the maid and filled it, and said to Wang Pu: "General Wang, little woman Chen Yuanyuan respects you."

Chen Yuanyuan, it’s really Chen Yuanyuan!

Wang Pu stood up long, raised his glass and smiled, "Please, Miss Yuanyuan."

Just as the two were about to raise their glasses and clink, a figure suddenly stood up from the nearby table, raised his hand and shouted: "Let's go."

Everyone was stunned and turned around. Chang Yanling, who was sitting next to Wang Pu, whispered: "Brother Wang, this guy is named Mao Xiang, his courtesy name is Pijiang, he is from Rugao, Yangzhou, and is a famous talented man in Jiangnan."

Mao Pijiang, one of the four young masters of Fushe?

Wang Shicheng asked over there with displeasure: "Mao Xiang, what do you want to do?"

"I don't mean to offend General Wang." Mao Xiang bowed and said loudly, "I just think that today's banquet includes fine wine and delicious food, and beautiful singing and dancing. If there is no poetry to cheer up, wouldn't it be a big shame? Therefore, I suggest that if General Wang wants to drink the glass of wine that Miss Yuanyuan wants to worship, he needs to write a poem. Do you think it's okay?"

As Mao Xiang finished speaking, several young men who were familiar with him spoke out and agreed.

Most of these young men were thinking the same as Mao Xiang, and they all started to get jealous.

Wang Shicheng's face turned pale. Who in the world knew that most of the generals of the Ming Dynasty were martial artists who could not read a lot of words. Wouldn't it force Zhang Fei to embroider the poem? Mao Xiang was just trying to embroider Wang Pu. Wang Shicheng had the hatred in his heart. If he had known that he wouldn't have invited this guy to make up for the numbers today.

"Since the talented man of Mao respects me so much, then I have to show my shame."

Out of Wang Shicheng's expectations, Wang Pu agreed immediately.

Of course, Wang Pu knew Mao Xiang's sinister intentions, but he was not afraid. Isn't it just a poem? Wang Pu had been to college in his previous life. Although he was only a third-rate, he could not recite a few poems with more than 300 years of accumulation of poetry? How could he be afraid of Mao Xiang, a "talented man"?

Mao Xiang obviously didn't expect that Wang Pu, the martial artist, would agree so simply, and immediately responded dryly: "Then, I'm going to listen carefully."

Wang Pu turned around, looked at Chen Yuanyuan with a smile, and slightly revised the poem Cao Xueqin praised Lin Daiyu in Dream of Red Mansions and recited it casually:

Two curves seem to be frowning but not frowning with smoke,

A pair of eyes that seem to be happy but not like to be exposed.

Dizzy cheeks and spring,

The flames are seductive.

Three points of furiousness,

Seven-point coquettish.

When quiet, it is like a beautiful flower shining on the water,

The place where you move is like a weak willow to support the wind.

The heart is more sensible than the stem.

As beautiful as Xizi wins three points.

Wang Pu just finished reciting, and Wang Shicheng was already excitedly praised: "What a poem, what a poem. It's perfect to describe Miss Yuanyuan with this poem by General Wang. General Wang is both civil and military. I admire him, and I admire him."

Chang Yanling and Li Zushu also made excitement, and officials from all over the Suzhou Prefecture also applauded. The poem that Wang Pu casually recited seemed frivolous, but in terms of the poem itself, it can be regarded as a rare and good poem, especially when using this poem to describe Chen Yuanyuan, it is really amazing.

Seeing Chen Yuanyuan's cheeks dizzy, he looked at Wang Pu with shame and joy. Mao Xiang over there was even regretting his intestines. He originally wanted to make Wang Pu look ugly in front of Chen Yuanyuan, but in the end he helped Wang Pu, the martial artist, and let him take the opportunity to win the favor of the beauty. Why is it really hard?

Chen Yuanyuan raised the wine glass again and said shyly: "Please, General."

Wang Pu smiled and said, "Please, Miss Yuanyuan."

The two of them gently touched the glasses, and Wang Pu drank them all, but Chen Yuanyuan covered her face with her sleeves and stopped after a brief taste.

Everyone applauded, and Chang Yanling and Li Zushu were even more clamoring.

"Haha, okay." Wang Shicheng applauded and laughed, stood up and said, "There is an offer from the official, please listen."

After everyone was quiet, Wang Shichengcai looked at Wang Pu and Chen Yuanyuan with a smile and said, "It is said that heroes love beauty, beauties respect heroes. General Wang is the great hero of the world, and Miss Yuanyuan is the number one beauty in Jiangnan. The lower-ranking official wants to take this opportunity to join in a marriage today. I wonder what the two of them mean?"

Two red clouds flew up on Chen Yuanyuan's face, and her beautiful eyes glanced at Wang Pu lightly, then lowered her head shyly, and she did not dare to look at Wang Pu's eyes. However, this expression was enough to show her feelings. Chen Yuanyuan had a thousand willingness and ten thousand willingness, even if she could only be a concubine for Wang Pu, she would be willing.

Chen Yuanyuan dared to express her feelings to Wang Pu so directly and boldly, which was related to the social atmosphere in Jiangnan at that time.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the Jiangnan Shilins regarded visiting prostitutes as an elegant thing. The stories of Qinhuai prostitutes and literary talents reaching a good relationship. Over time, the actors and prostitutes in Jiangnan gradually formed a trend. Once they met a suitable partner, they often dared to confess their love and dared to bravely pursue their own destination.

Although Wang Pu is not a talented man in the scholar, he is young and handsome. The poem he wrote casually 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 made great military achievements for the court and is now a world-famous hero.

Since ancient times, beauties respect heroes, but this is not empty talk.

How could Chen Yuanyuan not be moved when encountering a person like Wang Pu?

Seeing Chen Yuanyuan's expression like this, Mao Xiang and the young masters over there held their foreheads with their hands, showing a painful and disappointed expression.

Everyone's eyes were gathered on Wang Pu. Chen Yuanyuan's willingness could be seen even if he was blind. Now it depends on whether Wang Pu wants to marry her or not.

This matter would be replaced by the talented men in the Shilin era, such as Mao Xiang, who was jealous and the most powerful. Due to the double pressure of secular and morality, he might really reject Chen Yuanyuan's affection. Everyone likes it when they play, but it takes courage to marry a fireworks woman home. After all, this matter may not affect his secular reputation and career prospects.

Most of the people present also thought that Wang Pu would politely decline Chen Yuanyuan's affection. After all, Wang Pu had just made great contributions and finally had the opportunity to become an important minister of the court. If Chen Yuanyuan, a firework woman, ruined his future at this time, it would be too unworthy.

But Wang Pu is a modern man who has traveled through time. The ancient secular world and moral pressure have no binding force on him.

How many people will be fascinated by a beautiful woman like Chen Yuanyuan if she is in the 21st century? Such a beautiful woman is sent to her own door. If she is turned away, she will be struck by lightning!

In front of everyone, Wang Pu didn't say anything. He first picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine, took a sip, and handed the glass to Chen Yuanyuan. Chen Yuanyuan obviously understood Wang Pu's intention, and a look of shame and joy appeared on his pink face. He took the glass of wine and took a 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 to everyone: "I'm sorry, Lord Wang and all the friends to testify. Today, I will make a relationship with Miss Yuanyuan and make an engagement. After returning to Beijing to meet the saint, I will return to Jiangnan, pave the floor with a red felt, and carry a sedan chair to marry her through the door!"

Everyone showed incredible expressions on their faces. They were not only surprised that Wang Pu would accept Chen Yuanyuan without hesitation, but also surprised that Wang Pu's public promise.

In the Ming Dynasty, weddings were very knowledgeable. There was a sport of marrying a wife, and there was a priority in taking concubines.

Wang Pu wanted to use red felt to lay the floor and carry a sedan chair to marry Chen Yuanyuan through the door. That means that after Chen Yuanyuan got married, he would be Wang Pu's wife, not a concubine, nor an outer room. This also means that Chen Yuanyuan would have the chance to be enfeoffed by the emperor in the future and become the wife of the imperial decree.

This is an unimaginable thing for a woman in a fair manner.

In addition to shyness, Chen Yuanyuan looked at Wang Pu, there was more gentleness. Although she didn't care much about the imperial edicts of the court, no matter what, Wang Pu could make a promise in public and marry her with the courtesy of a wife, which moved her very much. Jiangnan Shilin and Fengchen women had many romantic events, but there were many acts and fewer people who treated each other sincerely. Those who were willing to marry Fengchen women home to become their wife were even more unique.

Although Chen Yuanyuan doesn't know Wang Pu's character very well, just by his daring to make this vow in public, it can be seen that he is a real man with responsibilities.

"Okay." Wang Shicheng laughed, "Then today's banquet is considered as the love-in-one wine between General Wang and Miss Yuanyuan. I'll congratulate you here first, hahaha."

Chang Yanling also stood up and congratulated, "Congratulations to brother for holding the beauty back."

Other officials from Suzhou, both large and small, congratulated each other.

"Thank you, thank you."

Wang Pu bowed and thanked him. Chen Yuanyuan stood to Wang Pu's right hand and saluted everyone. The situation seemed to be a newlywed couple who thanked him for the guests who came to congratulate him. Li Zushu screamed strangely: "Brother, my new sister-in-law and many Qinhuai socialites in Liudu are handkerchiefs. Don't just spend time alone and have fun, forget your younger brother?"
