Lu Weirui has been waiting in Zhenqing Taoist Temple for more than an hour. She is kneeling in Sanqing Hall and reciting "Laozi's Five Thousand Essays". The scroll of scriptures spread out beside the futon was handwritten by Chen Caozhi, the master of Li Academy.
The only volume left, Lu Weirui looked at the energetic regular scripts on the volume, and gently rubbed it with her fingertips, thinking that the words on this volume were all written word by word by Chen Caozhi.
, I feel inexplicably happy, as if I gently touched the back of Chen Caozhi’s hand in the study that day——
Lu Weirui knew that Chen Caozhi had a brother who had been expelled from the clan and tried to prevent Chen Caozhi from finalizing the product, but she was not very worried. She felt that Chen Caozhi would definitely be able to finalize the product. Yesterday she asked her father, and his father smiled and said that if Chen Caozhi
If the capital city can't decide the grade, then who else in Wu County can decide the grade? After saying this, my father sighed and said that it was a pity that Chen Cao's family was not high-ranking, otherwise why would it be difficult to decide the second grade!
The little maid was guarding the door of the Taoist temple with a hoe. She saw Chen Caozhi and Liu Shangzhi coming from a distance, so she quickly went in to report to Miss Wei Rui. Lu Wei Rui then came to the door under the ancient cypress and looked at
Chen Caozhi looked calm and smiling, and all the worries he had had disappeared.
Chen Caozhi came over, bowed, and said with a smile: "I went up to the back mountain this morning and saw that all the camellias have faded. My dear little lady, don't be sad and cry."
Lu Weirui's eyes were gleaming, she pursed her lips and said with a smile: "No, I didn't go to the back mountain." He then ordered the maid to hand the two scrolls to Chen Caozhi with a hoe, and said: "Chen Langjun, these are two scrolls.
"Huqiu Peony Picture", one was painted by me, and the other was painted by Aunt Zhang——" Then he said softly: "Come to see my father early the day after tomorrow and bring the painting. I'll be there by chen.
?"
Chen Caozhi responded, and Lu Weirui immediately boarded the car and returned home.
Zhu Yingtai came over and said: "Brother Zizhong's female disciple of the Lu family has come to ask for advice again? Is this a painting made by a crazy Lu? How about I take a look?"
Chen Cao said: "Let's go back to Taolin Xiaozhu. How about Xian Kunzhong drinking a few cups of spring mash with us?"
Zhu Yingtai said: "Thank you very much. I'm not used to drinking with others - Yingting, if you want to go, you can go."
Zhu Yingting glanced at his brother, shook his head and said, "If brother doesn't go, then I won't go either."
When Chen Xian heard that these two were children of the Zhu family in Shangyu, he said: "Chen has a daughter who is married to the Xu family in Shangyu. I heard that the Xu family has a daughter who is married to the Zhu family. I wonder if Xian Kunzhong knows her?"
The Zhu brothers looked at each other, and Zhu Yingtai replied: "The Zhu family has many branches, and my brother has been studying abroad in the past few years. I don't know which of my brothers married the Xu family's sister-in-law."
Chen Xian saw that Zhu Yingtai looked a little cold, and remembered that the Zhu family was a noble family, while the Chen family and the Xu family were common people, so he stopped asking more questions and changed the subject: "It's a shame that Chen Liu slipped away in the chaos.
This scum must be severely punished in court. This scum dared to go forward and slander Yu Dazhong. If he hadn't been able to deal with it easily by reading the classics, he would have been framed by Chen Liu this time. Then the scum would definitely return to Qian Tang. I would come and beat him.
Of."
Liu Shangzhi asked: "Zizhong, there seemed to be chaos in the hall later. What happened?"
Chen Cao said: "Yu Zhong was taking Wu Shi Powder, but he was not doing it properly. He suddenly had a fit in the hall, and became a mess."
After hearing this, Zhu Yingtai smiled and said: "Taking Wushi Powder is the most avoidable thing because of accumulated anger and stagnation. Yu Xi, who is best at "Zhouyi", didn't have any trouble. He must have become angry from shame. Later he learned that he was suffering from anger.
Being deceived by the villain, he was so angry that he became ill. Brother Zi Zhong was going to become famous in Jiangzuo this time. Yu Xi of the Yu family who relied on Cai Fangkuang was so angry that he was half dead. When the great Sima Huanwen learned about it,
You should also clap your hands and cheer."
Zhu Yingting said: "It is unwise for Yu Xi to be deceived by villains; it is untalented for him to be less important than his son when arguing. Yu Xi is the eldest son of Yu Bing. He is unintelligent, untalented and immodest. He is really the son of a tiger father and a dog. No wonder
I can’t keep my father’s inheritance.”
The Zhu brothers had no respect for Yu Xishu, and even criticized them wantonly. Ding Chunqiu was secretly speechless. The Zhu family in Shangyu, like the Ding family in Qiantang, were both low-class nobles, but the Zhu brothers dared to be so wanton.
It is really bold to comment on the high family of the Yu family.
Chen Xian was a little worried and asked Chen Caozhi: "Caozhi, if Yu Xi just falls ill and can't afford it, I'm afraid your decision to order the product will cause trouble again."
Chen Caozhi thought to himself: "There seems to be no one who has died suddenly after taking Wu Shi San. Otherwise, Wu Shi San would not be so popular. Taking the San will only cause chronic diseases." He said: "If he takes the San by himself, what does it have to do with me?
Come on! Uncle, don’t worry."
Zhu Yingtai said: "It doesn't matter, the mania is just gone, it won't be a hindrance - if this matter is spread, Brother Zizhong's decision will be more certain."
Chen Xian thought about it, yes, these aristocratic families value reputation and magnanimity the most. If they use personal grudges to take revenge for this matter and don't let Cao Cao make a decision, the reputation of the Yu family will really be ruined.
Returning to Taolin Xiaozhu, Chen Caozhi looked at the two "Huqiu Peony Paintings" at the exhibition. The paintings were of peony beside the Tiger Hill Sword Pond. The viewing angles were slightly different, but at a glance, it was clear that the paintings were of the same peony.
The peony flowers are brightly colored and the green leaves are dripping green. If you look closely, you will see that one has a graceful and luxurious look, while the other is fresh and bright.
Zhu Yingtai wondered: "Why are there two paintings? Couldn't they both be painted by Lu Nana?"
Chen Cao said: "One of the paintings was painted by Lu Weirui. Brother Yingtai, let's try which one it is?"
Zhu Yingtai pointed to the fresh and bright "Huqiu Peony Picture" without thinking and said: "Of course it is this one."
Chen Caozhi asked: "How can we see it?"
Zhu Yingtai said: "Regardless of the more mature brushwork in the other painting, judging from this one alone, the petals are very influenced by the peach blossoms painted by Brother Zizhong, and its brushwork has both the delicate sentiments of Wei Xie and Zhang Zhang.
The style and charm of ink can't be painted by Lu Huaidi, who could it be!"
Zhu Yingtai's proficiency in appreciation greatly impressed Chen Caozhi, but he heard Liu Shangzhi say: "The nymphomaniac Lu Weirui, Yongxu and Xie Daoyun, these two famous ladies from the northern and southern aristocratic families, do not care about their appearance, so as not to be ridiculed and frivolous, and talk about their talents."
, I wonder who is higher and who is lower?”
Zhu Yingting said: "No matter how talented or beautiful Lu is, she is far inferior to Xie. Those who want to compare the two of her are just because they have the same family background and are of similar age."
Chen Caozhi smiled and said nothing. There was nothing to argue with. He had never met Xie Daoyun. Xie Daoyun was famous for his sentence "Not as catkins blowing in the wind", but in his impression he was still as pale as paper. He was not as lively and cute as Lu Weirui.
, So what if Xie Daoyun is ten times taller? No one can match the girl who lowered her eyebrows and drooped eyelashes under the camellia and let him insert the golden step!
Liu Shangzhi was dissatisfied and said: "Not to mention anything else, just talking about Lu Weirui's peony painting that combines the strengths of the Wei and Zhang families, Xie Daoyun is not as good as Xie Daoyun - I don't know if Xie Daoyun can paint?"
Zhu Yingting sighed and sneered, seemingly disdainful to argue.
Ding Chunqiu couldn't stand Zhu Yingting's behavior, so he asked: "We have met Lu's girl before. She is both talented and beautiful. Brother Yingting said that Xie Daoyun is better than Lu Weirui. Has Brother Yingting seen Xie Daoyun?"
Zhu Yingting hurriedly said: "I've never seen it before."
Ding Chunqiu laughed and said, "Since I have never seen it before, how can I say with certainty that I will definitely win the land because of thanks? I just heard it from hearsay?"
Zhu Yingting was speechless and looked at his brother Zhu Yingtai, who only concentrated on looking at the painting.
Ding Chunqiu had never been better than Zhu Yingting in a verbal confrontation. Today, Zhu Yingting was speechless, delighted, and laughing. What's strange is that Zhu Yingtai did not help his brother to fight for words. In the past, Zhu Yingtai was not the same.
So easy to talk to.
After the Zhu brothers left, A Lin and Gillian poured wine and served food. Everyone drank and talked freely. When they talked about the morning examination on Confucian classics, Liu Shangzhui was humorous and good at teasing. He described Yu Xi as extremely ridiculous and said: "Zi
Seriously, your "A Volume of Ice and Snow Essays" should also include this matter."
Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "How dare you? It's a taboo for the venerable."
In the afternoon, Xu Zao came back from the county town and said that Yu Xi was not seriously ill, and that the prefect Lu had sent someone to ask Yang Quan, a famous doctor in Guangling, to treat him, so that Chen Caozhi did not have to worry.
At night, Chen Caozhi thought that Zhu Yingtai would come over to play chess with him, but he did not come. It was not until 11:00 that he saw the Zhu brothers arriving late, but only standing under the eaves. Zhu Yingtai said: "Brother Zizhong.
, The bright moon is still full, how can I not regret it if I don’t walk under the moon on such a clear night and sing and whistle proudly?”
Everyone felt in high spirits. Except for the nearly sixty-year-old patriarch Chen Xian who was sleepy, the others Chen Shang, Xu Miao, Liu Shangzhi and Ding Chunqiu all left Taolin Xiaozhu and walked towards Xiaojing Lake.
.
The bright moon was slightly flat, and the clear light filled the ground. Everyone looked at their shadows and laughed. Suddenly they heard the clear and clear sound of the Yu, but it was Zhu Yingting who took a Yu from the servant's hand. It was an ancient thirty-year-old Yu.
Six-pipe Yu, playing leisurely while walking.
Zhu Yingtai walked side by side with Chen Caozhi. He was about the same height as Chen Caozhi and a little thinner than Chen Caozhi. He said softly: "Yingting is trying to attract others."
Chen Caozhi laughed and said: "How dare you, Brother Yingtai said this, I won't dare to play the flute anymore."
Zhu Yingtai said: "Brother Zizhong, why should you be so humble? Huan joined the army and listened to your music and he played the flute as a gift. This is such a wonderful reward from a close friend. How lucky I am. These days, I can hear brother Zizhong's elegant music all the time."
By the Xiaojing Lake, the water is cool, the flowers are fragrant, and the moon is dancing. After Zhu Yingting finishes playing a song, Chen Caozhi takes out the Keting flute and walks slowly.
It is the famous song "The Introduction to the Good Night" of later generations. It was originally a guqin piece, and it is also very suitable to be played with the dongxiao. The shades are in harmony, and the meaning is profound. It makes people feel that the world is quiet, the good night is short, and friendship is precious——
…
In the afternoon of the next day, Wu County Office announced that all the ninety-six scholars in Wu County who were awaiting orders had been selected. However, due to Yu Dazhongzhenggui's poor health, he could not go to Jiankang Situ Mansion to report on his duties for the time being. Therefore, Chen Caozhi and others
The free coupons for fixed products cannot be distributed at the moment.
At the end of March 21st, Chen Caozhi came to Lu Na's house as promised and returned the two "Huqiu Peony Pictures". Lu Na burst out laughing as soon as he saw Chen Caozhi, presumably thinking of Yu the day before.
Xi was so angry at Chen Caozhi that he ran away naked. After laughing about it, he said: "Caozhi, please send the paintings to Xiyuan. Wait a minute. My wife and Wei Rui are going to visit Huqiu today and they are going to paint these two paintings."
Compare it with the peony beside the sword pond, maybe it has left the palace."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Weirui's clear and bright voice came from the corridor: "Dad, Aunt Zhang and I haven't set off yet."
