Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 800 The sound of the piano late at night

Seeing Yuan Xi being so serious, Da Qiao couldn't help but become nervous. She shrank her hands inside her sleeves, intertwined her fingers, and trembled unconsciously.

She subconsciously exerted a little force on her fingers to suppress the shaking. At the same time, she lowered her eyes and said calmly: "I am all ears."

Yuan Xi looked at her long eyelashes and her flawless face hidden by the clouds of hair, and said, "Before that, I want to tell a story."

Da Qiao was even more surprised. What was the other party thinking?

Yuan Xi spoke slowly, "In this world, there are countless possibilities for how it will become in the future."

"The girl knows that I am good at stargazing, and I can see a hint of the sky hidden under the fog. What I am talking about is one of the future endings among the millions of possibilities."

"In that world, a pair of sisters were born in Lujiang County. Their names were not recorded in the history books. However, as they grew up, they became more and more outstanding. There are poems in later generations. The two daughters of Duke Qiao are beautiful, with hibiscus blooming on their pedicles."

Da Qiao was startled and then realized that the other party was talking about his sisters!

Yuan Xi slowly told the story of the sisters, including the fact that they were captured and taken to Wancheng after their father died. Later, a young general and his military advisor conquered Wancheng, and the two were married respectively. The two sisters are a legend.

The young general and his military advisor were both outstanding young talents at that time. Unfortunately, the young general was assassinated that year.

However, his military advisor shined brightly and left a more famous reputation in the history books, but he also contracted an illness and died ten years later.

Since then, the deeds of these two sisters have not been found in the history books, but their ancient times have been praised by many people in later generations.

As Da Qiao listened, his face turned pale and his body began to sway, trying to make his face extremely restless.

Of course she understood that Yuan Xi was taking over the previous one and was talking about a possible future for her and Xiao Qiao. This experience was much worse than the current one. Just saying that the two of them were kidnapped by thieves, she couldn't imagine what would happen. whats the matter!

After Yuan Xi finished speaking, he sighed: "Of course, the girl can also listen to this as a story. It's okay to just think that I made it up."

"After all, who knows what will happen in the future."

Da Qiao bit his lip tightly, "This story told by the envoy, I..."

"Then the envoy knew about my concubine a long time ago..."

Yuan Xi said: "Yes, I knew something about the girl a long time ago."

"So when I first met the girl, maybe my thoughts were not so pure."

Da Qiao said softly: "No, Shijun is the most honorable gentleman among the people I have ever met."

"Otherwise, given your status, there is absolutely no need to treat my sisters with such courtesy."

"Your Majesty saw the miserable future of my sisters, so..."

Yuan Xi sighed: "Both girls, the husbands they married were actually the best choices. They were much better than me. Unfortunately, they both died young."

"I don't know if a girl who encounters that kind of thing will regret it, or maybe I'm just being sentimental, but at that time I really wanted to see a different future for you."

"I admit that this is my selfish intention, and it seems that the girl's marriage has been ruined by me."

Da Qiao knew that what Yuan Xi was talking about was about Sun Ce's assassination. She had heard about it from Qiao Rui. Without Yuan Xi's intervention, she might really marry Sun Ce, and then it would be like Yuan Xi said, right?

As for whether she would regret it, Da Qiao didn't understand Sun Ce very well, but it would be hard to accept someone whose husband died a few months into the marriage and then remained a widow for the rest of his life, right?

She lowered her gaze and said, "I am very grateful to you."

"I don't know what my sister would think, but I'm sure she does too."

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "The girl doesn't need to thank me now. No one can say what will happen in the future. Maybe it will get worse by then, and the girl will blame me again."

Da Qiao shook his head and said: "How could..."

She then thought of something, "Then the envoy..."

Yuan Xi laughed and said: "In that world, I never met the girl, but was killed a few years later."

"So, the possibility of me dying unexpectedly in the future is not impossible."

Da Qiao seemed to realize something, "So this is what makes you hesitate, isn't it?"

Yuan Xi was surprised, "The girl is considerate. Yes, what I'm worried about is that if I die violently in the future, I won't be able to protect the girl. Wouldn't that mean I've harmed the girl in vain?"

"Otherwise, I might have told the girl, please entrust me with your future life."

Da Qiao raised his head and said, "Is this what Shijun has been saying for a long time?"

Yuan Xi smiled bitterly and said: "That's right, but when I think about the fact that there are many women around me, I'm afraid they won't like someone like me who loves the new and hates the old. And what if..."

Da Qiao stared at Yuan Xi, "But I didn't say I wouldn't agree."

"I knew it," Yuan Xi said with a wry smile: "The girl must have concerns..."

He reacted suddenly and his eyes widened in surprise, "What did the girl say?"

Da Qiao's pretty face turned red, "I would like to ask the envoy, have you ever liked my concubine?"

Yuan Xi said casually: "Of course, who wouldn't be interested in a woman like you..."

Da Qiao raised his face and said, "That's enough." "Of course I hope that you will live a long life, but no matter what happens in the future, I hope to be with you."

"The envoy said that he was worried that he would not be able to protect me, but in these troubled times, how many people say that they can live a hundred years in peace?"

"And the most important thing is that I don't hate Shijun, on the contrary, I like him very much."

Yuan Xi touched his nose and smiled bitterly: "I didn't think about it. I don't know what's so special about me that the girl likes..."

Da Qiao said softly: "There are many, but what makes me happy the most is that I can talk to you like this, as if I and you are equals."

"I have never seen this kind of attitude from other men, including my father. Even when my father spoke to my mother when I was a child, it was not like Shijun."

"And not only for my concubine, but also for Mrs. Lu, for the officials and guards around me, and even for the slaves and maids, I don't use power at all. I respect each other when I speak."

"From this point alone, I believe that you are a man who cares about the world."

"Such a person is a well-deserved hero in my heart, and that's enough."

"I don't ask for much, I don't ask for favors, I just want to be with you occasionally, and I'll be satisfied."

Yuan Xi sighed: "Even if there won't be many such days in the future?"

Da Qiao said softly: "I have seen every face of the envoy rarely, and I can remember every moment I spent with the envoy."

"I just want to ask, what do you think of my delusion?"

After she finished speaking, she was almost exhausted. For a woman, this was already the greatest courage she could muster. Da Qiao had never thought that she could say such words before!

Yuan Xi was excited, stretched out his hand, held Da Qiao's catkins, and said, "Na Xi implores you, girl, to entrust your future to me."

Da Qiao's pretty face turned red, he lowered his head and said in an inaudible voice: "Please take care of me from now on."

Yuan Xi felt beads of sweat oozing out from Da Qiao's hands, and the atmosphere became ambiguous. Da Qiao's face turned redder, and he shrank his hands slightly. Seeing that Yuan Xi didn't have square hands, he buried his head lower to the ground.

Yuan Xi thought it would be a bit abrupt if he went any further at this time, so he loosened his grip slightly and said to Da Qiao: "I will leave tomorrow and will definitely come back as soon as possible to marry the girl."

"Girl, please play a song to see me off."

Da Qiao then breathed a sigh of relief. She took the guqin she brought, straightened her body, and said loudly: "I'm showing off my shame."

She calmed down a little and started playing slowly. Yuan Xi heard that the sound of Jianghuai's piano was different from the Central Plains tone when Cai Zhaoji played the piano. It was more melodious and long-lasting, reminiscent of flowing water on a small bridge and the whisper of a shallow stream. He listened. , chanted unconsciously.

the river is long and tempestuous, it was like a hero. Success or failure turned empty. Aoyama is still there, How Many Suns.

White-haired fisherman Qiao Jiangzhu, used to watch the autumn moon and spring breeze.A pot of muddy wine rejoiced to meet each other.Many things, ancient and modern, are in the middle of a joke.

As he sang, Da Qiao listened carefully to the lyrics and seemed to feel something. His fingers suddenly exerted force and jumped back and forth between the strings dexterously, and the sound of the piano became exciting and high-pitched.

Amidst the sound of the piano, in front of their eyes, the creek turned into a big river, the hills turned into mountains, time added white hair to beauty, troubled times made encounters precious, personal favor and disgrace, the rise and fall of dynasties, all were swept away by the waves of history. Enveloped and submerged, everything turned into crisp notes on the Yao Qin.

After finishing the song, Da Qiao looked at Yuan Xi and said, "Shijun's poems are even more powerful."

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "It's just a trick of picking up people's wits. It's really amazing that the girl can immediately modify the tune according to each person's tune."

"I once studied piano with Zhao Ji, but I always couldn't get it right. I gave up after learning it twice. Moreover, her piano playing was quite disciplined and she was very concerned about her wrong tune. On the contrary, the girl was very casual."

Da Qiao whispered: "Mrs. Cai is a master of contemporary piano skills. The music scores follow the etiquette system, so there can be no mistakes."

"My piano skills are mostly self-taught, and I don't have to pay much attention to them. If I meet Mrs. Cai, it will make me laugh."

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums are all good at winning. Girls don't need to be modest."

"But this method of changing the tone is very interesting, I am very interested in it."

"Girl, teach me?"

Da Qiao's pretty face blushed slightly, "I am very pleased."

After a while, her pretty face turned redder, and now she was sitting in front of Yuan Xi, holding Yuan Xi's fingers and playing together on the strings.

She was still very shy at first, but gradually the two of them got into a good mood, and their fingers seemed to have a tacit understanding.

I don’t know how long it took and how many songs she played. Da Qiao felt her shoulders sink slightly. She felt Yuan Xi put her chin on her shoulders and her fingers stopped. She slowly finished talking about this paragraph and looked back. But found that Yuan Xi had fallen asleep.

Da Qiao looked at Yuan Xi's face, then looked at the other person's hand on the table. He stretched out his little finger like a ghost, hooked Yuan Xi's little finger and shook it.
