The sun sets in the west, spreading the last bit of afterglow to the world.
In the study room of Sikong Mansion, Cao Cao was still reading memorials from various places alone.
As Sikong, he naturally had to pay attention to various political and people's livelihood situations in his territory at all times, keep abreast of the attitudes of the Han emperor and his ministers, and be prepared for attacks from princes from all sides.
The daily hard work and micromanaging made Cao Cao physically and mentally exhausted. This is also an important reason why he gradually reduced his life in the back house and pursued fresh excitement to release himself.
A burst of melodious music came from the direction of the back house. Cao Cao heard the music and closed his eyes to enjoy it quietly.
The music was melodious and elegant, making people feel relaxed after listening to it, and Cao Cao's originally depressed mood was relieved a lot.
A smile appeared on Cao Cao's face, he put down the pen in his hand, stood up slowly, stretched, and walked to the back house to the sound of music.
Cao Cao walked into the backyard and saw that the entrance to the backyard was gorgeously and solemnly decorated. The tall door was hung with a red curtain, which reflected the joyful atmosphere in the hall and added a bit of hazy beauty.
The fragrance of flowers filled the air and decorated the entire hall, making the entire atmosphere more romantic and lingering.
Cao Cao walked slowly into the back hall and saw Mrs. Bian standing quietly in the center of the hall wearing a red silk dress. Her hair was tied up high and decorated with gold hairpins, revealing her beautiful collarbone.
She bowed to Cao Cao demurely, her graceful movements seemed like dancing.
The melancholy revealed in her brows, coupled with her still charming appearance and figure, fully demonstrated the charm of a mature woman.
The lighting in the hall is soft, making the whole scene look like a dream.
As Cao Cao entered the hall, the music also changed and turned into the melody of "The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix" by Sima Xiangru. Mrs. Bian was intoxicated and began to dance to the guidance of the music. She opened her red lips and sang softly together. .
"The phoenix comes back to its hometown, and travels all over the world to seek for its phoenix. I haven't met you yet, and I have no generals. How can I realize that I have been promoted to the hall now..."
Mrs. Bian, wearing a gauze and elegant long dress, danced gracefully. Her graceful movements were like a phoenix spreading its wings, and her dancing posture was free and touching.
Her slender jade hands flicked gently, like a phoenix spreading its wings.
Her eyebrows are picturesque and her face is stunning, like a blooming flower exuding a unique fragrance in the silent night.
The night breeze blew Mrs. Bian's long hair, making her dance more graceful and moving.
Cao Cao's eyes were involuntarily attracted to Mrs. Bian. Soon he was completely immersed in Mrs. Bian's dance. Looking at her graceful movements, his eyes seemed to be filled with memories of his first acquaintance with Mrs. Bian.
At that time, Mrs. Bian was lively and beautiful, like a fairy in the sky.
That night, she captured Cao Cao's heart with this song "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix". Her dancing, her smile, and her eyes seemed to make the whole world beautiful, and Cao Cao was deeply obsessed with it.
At this time, the past scenes seemed to reappear, which deeply touched Cao Cao's heart.
Gradually, Mrs. Bian's dance slowed down. Her eyes were full of tenderness like water, and she stared at Cao Cao affectionately.
Cao Cao also looked at her lovingly, slowly stepped forward, reached out and gently held her hand, and the two looked at each other quietly.
"Ah Ma, do you still remember the last time I danced the song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" for you?" Mrs. Bian asked softly.
Cao Cao looked at Mrs. Bian with a smile and nodded, his eyes becoming more affectionate: "Of course I remember, these days I am busy with government affairs, and I am always going around to conquer, so I have left you out in the cold. Tonight, I will do nothing more, just stay with you and appreciate you. Dance together, watch the moon and talk about our hearts together."
Cao Cao opened his arms to hug Mrs. Bian, and Mrs. Bian gently leaned into Cao Cao's arms. The two embraced each other, as if the world had become quiet.
At this moment, they once again felt the simple warmth and sweetness when they met and fell in love...
…
The moon was high in the sky, and after the passion, Cao Cao lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Mrs. Bian was extremely excited, immersed in the long-lost joy and unable to let go.
She quietly stood up, walked to the window, gently opened the window a small crack, looked up at the full moon in the night sky, and recalled the warmth just now.
A pair of big hands gently put on her shoulders and put a coat on her. Cao Cao's gentle voice sounded: "Although it is early summer, the night breeze is still cold. Be careful not to get caught in the wind."
Mrs. Bian came back to her senses, looked at Cao Cao in front of her lovingly, rested her head on his shoulder, and said softly: "Ah Ma, thank you."
"Between you and me, why are you talking about thanks?" Cao Cao asked with a smile.
"I thought that you didn't like me anymore because I was old and beautiful. I didn't expect that tonight, my husband would still be as loving and caring as before. I was moved in my heart, so I thanked you." Mrs. Bian responded softly.
Cao Cao heard the meaning of Mrs. Bian's words, put his arm around her shoulders, and said softly: "Linglong (Mrs. Bian's name), you are clearly blaming me for being too cold to you before, right?"
"As a Sikong, my husband has important military and political matters to deal with, so how can he always be around me? I am not the kind of person who is unreasonable. If my husband wants to do important things, you don't have to think about me all day long. You just need to be here from time to time. I'll be satisfied with just a little love and affection." Mrs. Bian responded to Cao Cao sensibly.
"My Linglong still understands me best." Cao Cao said happily, hugging Mrs. Bian tighter in his arms, "Don't worry, I will definitely spend more time with you in the future."
"I'm very grateful that my husband can think of me. But I also need to remind my husband to work hard day and night and take care of his health. After all, we are no longer young and our children have reached the age of marriage." Bian While expressing her concern for Cao Cao, the lady tried to bring the topic to Cao Pi's marriage.
"Isn't it early for them to get married?" Cao Cao responded with some disapproval.
"Zihuan is already seventeen, and Ziwen is sixteen. They are not too young." Mrs. Bian quickly responded, "Men, when you start a family, you must start a family first, and then you can help you achieve your great career with peace of mind. You have a daughter-in-law to take care of you at home. If I had a grandchild to accompany me, I wouldn’t be so lonely.”
Cao Cao heard the hidden meaning in Mrs. Bian's arms and said with a smile: "Linglong has already made plans and deliberately brought the topic here? Okay, tell me, who do you plan to marry?"
When Mrs. Bian saw Cao Cao asking about it, she no longer hesitated. She hurriedly repeated Cao Cao's plan to propose marriage to Guo Zhao, and asked for his opinion.
After listening to Mrs. Bian's story, Cao Cao's original smile slowly faded, replaced by a kind of disdain and anger: "It's Zihuan who came to ask you to tell me to propose marriage for him, right!? "
"Ziwen is now leading the army on the battlefield and defeating the enemy. Zihuan is the eldest son, but he only thinks about these men and women all day long and does not do his job. He is really worthless!" Cao Cao accused Cao Pi unceremoniously.
"The male elder is about to get married. Zihuan is already an adult after all. It's not a big mistake to want to get married. Who asked him to have a romantic father? It can be regarded as the son inheriting his father's legacy." Mrs. Bian saw that Cao Cao was a little angry and hurried to be gentle. She stroked his chest to calm her anger.
Mrs. Bian's comfort quickly calmed down Cao Cao's newly aroused anger, and she complained lovingly: "You just love him."
"You haven't liked Zihuan since you were a child. If I don't treat him well as a mother, the child will suffer too much." Mrs. Bian responded, "Amao, even if I am begging you, you can grant Zihuan's wish. .”
Facing the gentle plea of Mrs. Bian in his arms, Cao Cao was already distracted by her comfort. He thought of another fight and nodded immediately: "Okay, choose an auspicious day and arrange for someone to go to Sima's house to propose marriage."
Mrs. Bian said happily: "I want to thank you on Zihuan's behalf."
Cao Cao smiled and said: "It's not enough to just say thank you, you have to take action!"
After saying that, he picked up Mrs. Bian and walked to the bed beside him with a smile...
