C12 A Joyous Event
Wang Yun led Ai Lang to the main hall. The hall was brightly lit and the tables were already filled with fine food and drinks. Seven to eight servant girls with graceful bodies were standing around.
Wu Tie only thought of Diaochan. He quickly looked at the maids, only to find that although they had some looks, they were too far away from his expectations. Diaochan was obviously not among them. Immediately after, Ai Lang laughed in his heart. Diaochan was Wang Yun's adopted daughter after all, so naturally, she could not stay in the main hall like a servant.
Wang Yun invited Ai Lang to sit on the seat of honor. As a modern man, Ai Lang had no concept of ancient etiquette. Since Wang Yun invited him to sit, he sat down without any hesitation. Wang Yun then sat down behind the table opposite Ai Lang. At this moment, a servant girl came up from behind Ai Lang and Wang Yun. She sat down beside the two of them and poured a bottle of wine for them.
Wang Yun picked up the wine bottle and said to Ai Lang, "It is my honor to be honored by Great General! This old one will do it as a sign of respect! " After speaking, he raised his head and drained his cup of wine.
Ai Lang also picked up his wine bottle and raised his head to drink the wine. However, he was a bit distracted. He wanted to ask Wang Yun about Diaochan, but he didn't know how to start.
Wang Yun put down the wine bottle and clapped his hands. The musicians who sat behind the blue chiffon cabinets on either side immediately began to play. There were only a few of the ancient instruments, and they were new at first, but after listening to them a few times they became dull. The clanging sounds of the knocks echoed throughout the hall.
Just as Ai Lang was feeling depressed, the shadow of a woman suddenly swayed at the side door. A woman gracefully walked into the hall and started dancing. Ai Lang couldn't shift his eyes away when he saw the woman. He looked completely dumbfounded. The woman was dressed in a light gauze, like a willow in the wind, her face was as red as a painting, her eyes were as beautiful as a painting, her smile was shallow, she could topple cities and empires. Looking back, she was extremely charming, she was simply the Chang'e of the Moon Palace. Lv Bu's Wife was one of the prettiest women in the world, but she was nothing compared to the girl in front of her! If this girl were Lv Bu's Wife, Ai Lang would have already become a beast!
The woman danced as she sang a melody. The melodious singing and dancing, along with traces of orchid fragrance, drew Ai Lang's soul away. Ai Lang stared at the woman in a daze and subconsciously picked up his wine glass to drink, but there was no wine left in it, so he didn't notice at all. Wang Yun saw Ai Lang's expression and felt quite proud of it.
The woman finished her dance, bowed to Ai Lang, glanced at him with her beautiful eyes, and flew away like a butterfly. Ai Lang was staring at her from the beginning until the moment her figure disappeared, he was still reluctant to part with her.
"General!" "General!"
Wang Yun shouted anxiously. Ai Lang finally came back to his senses. With an embarrassed smile, he excitedly asked, "Sir Situ, who was that woman just now?"
Wang Yun smiled and said, "That's this old man's daughter, Diaochan. If you learn a little singing and dancing, you won't be able to enter the ranks of the nobles. General, please don't laugh at me. "
Ai Lang couldn't help but exclaim, "It's Diaochan! No wonder! So beautiful! "
When Wang Yun heard this, he couldn't help but feel strange. However, this thought passed quickly and he didn't put it to heart. He asked with a smile, "Does General still think that my daughter can catch your eyes?"
Ai Lang said without any hesitation, "More than that! Such a beautiful woman, that's really, that's really the best in the world! " Ai Lang didn't know how to describe it, so he used the word "number one".
Wang Yun secretly laughed at Ai Lang's vulgarity and asked again, "This old and useless one intends to have my daughter serve the general. I wonder if the general can accommodate you?"
When Ai Lang heard this, he was overjoyed. He immediately stood up and bowed to Wang Yun: "Your son-in-law pays his respects to father-in-law!" Wang Yun quickly stood up, quickly went up to help Ai Lang up, and smiled: "General's great gift, this old man does not dare to accept it! For my daughter to be able to marry a hero like the general is the fortune that she has cultivated from her previous life! " Pausing for a moment, he continued, "From now on, General and I are one and the same, please protect this old man!"
Ai Lang understood Wang Yun's meaning. Laughing, he patted his chest and said, "Father-in-law, don't worry. I will be there for everything!" At this moment, outside the side door of the hall, Diaochan peeked at Lv Bu through the curtain. Her face was flushed red, and her eyes were filled with shyness and joy. She was determined to repay the debt of gratitude with her own body, but she didn't expect that Lv Bu would be such a tall and sturdy, heroic husband. At first she thought he would fall into hell, but then she suddenly realized he had ascended to heaven, which made her overjoyed.
Ai Lang and Wang Yun returned to their seats. Wang Yun talked about the date of the wedding and the various matters related to the wedding. Ai Lang laughed happily and said, "For these matters, father-in-law will decide, your son-in-law will not have any objections." Wang Yun smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then I will make the decision!"
Ai Lang wanted to see Diaochan again, but after chatting with Wang Yun for a long time, the other side didn't have the slightest intention of calling Diaochan out. Seeing that it was already very late, Ai Lang could only bid farewell and leave. Wang Yun personally saw Ai Lang out of the door. After seeing him off, he turned around and entered the door.
As Ai Lang rode down the street, he couldn't help but smile at the thought of Diaochan's peerless beauty. Then Ai Lang could not help but think of Lv Bu's Wife, and feel sorry for her, and afraid that she might object. After thinking about it for a while, Ai Lang couldn't help but think about a scene in the Romance Of The Three Kingdoms, as if Wang Yun had deliberately offered Diaochan to Lv Bu and then given her to Dong Zhuo to provoke Lv Bu's rebellion against Dong Zhuo. During the feast just now, Ai Lang' mind was filled with Diaochan's moving figure, but he had not thought of this scenario. Now that he thought of it, he immediately became nervous and restrained the Red Hare.
Ai Lang frowned and muttered, "Is Wang Yun plotting something with a beauty?" The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this should be the case. Ai Lang let his imagination run wild as he unknowingly returned to the military camp outside the city.
At the same time, Wang Yun returned to the main hall and called out Diaochan after rejecting the servants. At this moment, Diaochan had already changed into a different dress. Although she had lost a portion of her eyesight, she was still as charming and graceful as before. Wang Yun sized up Diaochan with a smile. Diaochan only felt embarrassed and lowered her head, not daring to look at Wang Yun.
