Ming Empire

Chapter 161

"Yuanyuan, General Cao just arrived in Nanjing today. He heard that there is a talented woman like you in our Qingxiang Tower. He came to see you before he had a good rest. You have to be with him for the rest of your life. Don't let the general down," ** said Then, he kept winking at Chen Yuanyuan, and after Chen Yuanyuan agreed, he said to Cao Yue: "I have already heard about General Cao's name, and everyone in the world admires General Cao's great achievements. Today, I can receive General Cao." Such a character is really lucky. Yuanyuan's singing voice is the best in the entire Qinhuai River, I hope the general can return with satisfaction today, and come to join us often in the future!"

Without waiting for Cao Yue and Chen Yuanyuan to answer, Chang Yanling waved impatiently and said, "Mama Wu, go on your own, as long as there is Miss Yuanyuan here to accompany us, General Cao."

"The concubine is resigning," said the lady known as Wu Ma, and after another salute, she also withdrew.

Chen Yuanyuan has met high-ranking officials and nobles, and she can speak honestly to anyone, and can face anyone calmly, but because of Cao Yue's heroic spirit, and there are so many legends, she is a little uncomfortable under Cao Yue's gaze today , a little cautious in his gestures, as if he couldn't let go.

"Thank you, General Cao, for your love. The little girl is very grateful." Chen Yuanyuan said Wanfu again, and walked up to Cao Yue gracefully. After thinking for a while, she picked up the wine pot on the table, filled Cao Yue with wine, and gave it to Cao Yue. He poured himself a cup, put down the jug, raised his glass and said: "Today, I will honor the general with this wine. I wish the general can continue to win victories in future battles, make military exploits, and bring peace to the people of the world."

Cao Yue raised his glass, raised it to Chen Yuanyuan, drained the wine in the glass, and Chen Yuanyuan also drank the wine in the glass, and then raised the empty wine glass to Cao Yue, two blushes appeared on his pretty face.

"Miss Yuanyuan, sit down," Cao Yue signaled Chen Yuanyuan to sit down beside him, and after Chen Yuanyuan sat beside him cautiously, he said with a smile: "Miss Yuanyuan, I am a vulgar person, I don't understand etiquette, I hope there is no Abrupt girl. I heard that the girl has both talents, so I wonder if I can see the girl's talent, so as to help today's happiness?"

How could Chen Yuanyuan refuse Cao Yue's request, and immediately agreed: "The general will not dislike it, the little girl will be a good show, I hope I can help the general enjoy the banquet today."

Cao Yue smiled at Chen Yuanyuan again, and made a gesture of please.

But at this time, the three dudes beside him, Chang Yanling, Guo Peimin, and Zhang Shize, looked at Chen Yuanyuan in a state of fascination, and even forgot to drink the wine.Seeing Chen Yuanyuan standing up and preparing to sing and perform, she immediately booed and applauded.

Soon, a singing group with huqin, pipa and other musical instruments came in and sat down on one side of the private room, while Chen Yuanyuan stood in the middle of the private room, bowed to Cao Yue again, and was ready to perform.

When the music sounded, Chen Yuanyuan's libretto also followed. It was really smooth, and it sounded like the sound of nature.The person is as beautiful as a flower, like a cloud coming out of Xiu, the voice of the warbler is groaning, and the six horses are leaning on their horses. Not only Cao Yue, but also the other three spectators hold their breath, watching Chen Yuanyuan's performance like a demon.

Chen Yuanyuan sang an opera from Jiang Jian's area. Cao Yue could barely understand it, and soon he could distinguish it. He sang with a unique flavor, and he couldn't help but clap his hands and applaud.

He instinctively thought that this was a work that praised him as a great hero, and he didn't know how to describe the pride in his heart.

Chang Yanling and the others knew opera better than Cao Yue, and they listened even more mesmerized. When Cao Yue applauded, they also booed.

"The sound is the best in the world, and the color is the best in the world." It really deserves its reputation, Cao Yue sighed in his heart.This kind of woman is really the beauty that any man dreams of. Looking at Chang Yanling, Guo Peimin, and Zhang Shize beside him, isn't that a gaffe?If he hadn't just married Aimee Zhu, and the two of them were in a strong relationship, Cao Yue would have had unreasonable thoughts about the woman in front of him.

Although Cao Yue's face was full of admiration, but unlike Chang Yanling and others, he did not show a lustful expression, and still had a calm smile. This made Chen Yuanyuan feel a little disappointed, but also renewed his feelings towards the man in front of him. Got some good feelings.Cao Yue could be said to be the first man who didn't show possessiveness in his eyes when he saw her.Chen Yuanyuan's affection for Cao Yue reached a new level in an instant.

The gaze she looked at Cao Yue was even more fiery. At this moment, she was a little worried that this strange man in front of her would not treat her differently.

If someone asked Chen Yuanyuan which man she fell in love with at first sight in this life, she would definitely say Cao Yue without hesitation.This handsome man touched her heart at first sight.

"Listening to the girl's singing is really touching. I never imagined that there is such a touching singing voice in the world, and she is so talented. Cao has really seen it today!" Cao Yue met Chen Yuanyuan's tender eyes , smiled calmly: "It's also fortunate that Mr. Cao can get the girl's attention and be arranged into the music. Thank you, girl!"

Facing the gaze of Cao Yue's bright eyes, Chen Yuanyuan's face burned up unconsciously. She didn't dare to look at Cao Yue, lowered her eyes, and said softly: "You are welcome, general. It should be the luck of the little girl. To be rewarded and praised. The general’s military achievements are unmatched in the world, and the general’s state of mind is unmatched by few people in the world!”

"It seems that Miss Yuanyuan has fallen in love with our brother Yue." Seeing the two of them like this, Chang Yanling couldn't help joking, "Brother Yue, such an outstanding beauty, you should be tempted, right? Hurry up." Redeemed Miss Yuanyuan so that she would not be snatched away by others."

Chang Yanling's words immediately made Chen Yuanyuan feel like a deer, and she very much hoped that Cao Yue would agree.But she also knew that it was impossible for a man like Cao Yue to be so superficial. When he saw her for the first time, he wanted to redeem her body and make her his woman.

Sure enough, Cao Yue shook his head slightly, and said to Chen Yuanyuan with a smile: "The power of the country is like a fortress of eggs. What Cao wants to do most now is to expel the Tartars, restore our Ming Dynasty, and bring peace to the people of the world. Moreover, Cao You have just married a princess, so you definitely won't have any other nonsense. However, I am still very willing to become friends with Miss Yuanyuan, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I can listen to music and enjoy music together, and help each other."

Cao Yue's words made Chen Yuanyuan happy and disappointed at the same time, and she didn't know how to answer.

Amidst Chen Yuanyuan's concern over gains and losses, Cao Yue said again: "Miss Yuanyuan's singing voice is so beautiful, and her skill in music and music is beyond comparison with ordinary people. Today Cao has something to ask, I don't know if the girl can do it help?"

"The general is polite. If there is anything the general needs the help of the little girl, please feel free to tell me, the little girl is duty-bound!"

"I would like to ask the girl to help compose and sing a military music. It would be the best if it can be performed with dance!"

"It turned out to be this request?" Chen Yuanyuan was extremely shocked, and immediately agreed: "You are welcome, general. I wonder if the general has any military music for the little girl to compose?"
