Twenty-four, it seems to be immersed in each other
Twenty-four, it’s like helping each other
In the midsummer afternoon, the cicadas were chirping like boiling. The quiet and deep Jiuyao Mountain became more and more green under the scorching sun. The mist of the mountains baked by the sun was hazy and misty, just like the misty crocodile gauze on the way to see off Xie Daoyun that day.
In addition to Zongzhi and Runer, who climbed with Chen Caozhi and Lu Weirui, Ding Youwei also came. Unlike Chen Caozhi who can be both still and active, Chen Qingzhi only loves silence. Ding Youwei only climbed Jiuyao Mountain twice in the six years he spent in Chenjiawu.
, this time Chen Caozhi invited his sister-in-law to climb the mountain with him, saying that there were trees all the way, so he didn’t have to worry about the hot weather. Ding Youwei followed him, to cover the eyes of the servants in the Lu Mansion, and to take care of Zongzhi and Runer, so that the two little ones wouldn’t have to worry about it.
The guy pestered Chen Caozhi and Lu Weirui.
Lu Weirui ordered her entourage not to follow her. She went up the mountain with Ding's sister-in-law to have some fun and then came down, and then set off back to Wu County. The entourage was eager to take a break in this hot day. They only had short hoe, and the two maids Hairpin Hua were never leaving.
of.
Although the afternoon sun is blazing, it feels cool as soon as you enter the mountain. The trees on both sides of the narrow mountain road are crisscrossed and shaded everywhere. The sunlight is not spread out unobstructed, but scattered in spots, shimmering due to the swaying shadows of the trees.
Run'er suddenly said: "Uncle Chou, that time Zhu Langjun came to climb the mountain, the fog was so heavy that we couldn't see our Wubao clearly from the top of the mountain, and Mingsheng Lake was even less visible. This time Madam Lu will be able to see it."
far away."
Lu Weirui and Chen Caozhi were climbing the mountain side by side. She turned her head and asked, "Chen Langjun, which Zhu Langjun is Run'er talking about?"
Chen Cao said: "That Zhu Langjun who was my classmate in Wujun is from Shangyu. Last time I went back to Qiantang, I went with him all the way here and also went up to Jiuyao Mountain."
Lu Weirui said "Oh" and didn't ask again. Like a bird flying by in the sun, the small shadow on the ground disappeared quickly, but she was still thinking about this small shadow in her heart. Lu Weirui gave the somewhat rude blessing
Lang Jun was rather disgusted.
Ding Youwei walked slowly, Zongzhi, Run'er, Axiu, and Yuyan all lagged behind. Ran Sheng and Laide had already strode out of sight. The two maids, Short Hoe and Hairpin Hua, looked at each other and let go.
Walk slowly and stay as far away from Chen Caozhi and Lu Weirui as long as they can be seen. This will make it easier for the young lady to talk to Chen Langjun.
Chen Caozhi looked at the pretty girl next to him, with fair skin and rosy skin, her delicate eyebrows raised slightly, as if in surprise, her long and fine eyelashes flickering from time to time, like a black butterfly fluttering its wings, her eyes like water,
Turning over, her lips moved slightly and she said, "Watch the road and don't trip over any stones."
Chen Cao said: "No, I have walked this mountain road hundreds of times. Well, Wei Rui——"
Lu Weirui's heart trembled and she asked: "What?"
Chen Cao said: "Lu Shijun doesn't want you to travel around, how can you come here?"
Lu Weirui said: "Dad is in the county and I am in Huating, so I came here without permission, so I have to rush back and try to get punished. Don't worry, my dad won't really punish me, but it will be difficult to think of it again in the future."
Now, dad will definitely instruct the steward of the villa not to let me go out - only you will come to see me from now on."
Chen Cao said: "I remember, on the eighth day of August, my mother is in good health now. I will come to wish you a birthday then."
Lu Weirui smiled gracefully and said: "Many precious chrysanthemums will bloom in August, and camellias will also bloom. Then we will paint chrysanthemums."
Chen Cao said: "Is it so leisurely? Maybe I can only play a piece of music for you and then leave."
Lu Weirui was silent for a while, then said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I will wait for Mr. Chen."
This pure and beautiful girl didn't ask Chen Caozhi anything, she just believed that Chen Caozhi would marry her.
Chen Caozhi gently pulled Lu Weirui's hand, then let go, and said: "When we get to the top of the mountain, I will play a piece of music for you. This piece is specially composed for you."
Lu Weirui said happily: "Okay, I really like to see Mr. Chen playing the recorder. Sometimes I can't hear the sound of the flute, and I only see your figure."
Climbing to the top of the Jiuyao Mountain, the sun is shining slantingly, and the Mingsheng Lake in the distance is filled with sparkling golden waves, water vapor and clouds are blowing in and out, the green hills on the lakeshore are rolling, and the moist wind is blowing, making it cool and pleasant.
Lu Weirui was very happy and said to Chen Caozhi: "I will climb this mountain every day from now on -"
Chen Caozhi looked at Lu Weirui with a smile. This fairy-like girl had fine beads of sweat on both sides of her nose. Her cheeks were red and her lips were trembling. She was so beautiful.
Coming to De, I don't know where Ran Sheng has gone. The short hoe and the hairpin have not come up yet. He and Lu Weirui are the only two people on the top of Jiuyao Mountain. Chen Caozhi looks at his beloved girl close at hand, his heartbeat increases, and he wants to kiss her.
For a moment, but not wanting to startle her, he pulled the back of Lu Weirui's hand and kissed her just like he did last time on the boat on Pinghu Lake in Huating.
Lu Weirui's face was red, and she held Chen Caozhi's hand tightly. Their palms were wet. Lu Weirui thought to herself: "Is this just mutual support?"
The two little maids, Short Hoe and Hairpin Hua, just looked out from the edge of the rock. When they saw Chen Langjun and the little lady holding hands, they quickly retracted, sticking out their tongues at each other and making faces.
Chen Caozhi let go of Lu Weirui's hand and shouted: "Xiao Sheng——"
Ran Sheng and Laide suddenly appeared like bandits. Ran Sheng handed over the long wooden box in his hand and said: "Little Langjun, Ke Tingdi."
Ding Youwei came up with her two children, panted slightly, and said with a smile: "Even Run'er is stronger than me, I'm so ashamed."
Axiu said: "My wife stays in the small courtyard all day long, how can she have such a happy time?"
Ding Youwei looked at the Keting flute in Chen Caozhi's hand and said, "Young man, are you going to play music? That's great. This is the second time I hear you play the recorder."
Ran Sheng opened two small folding stools and asked Ding Youwei to sit on them. Although Ding Youwei had weak feet, she thought it was indecent to sit like this, so she let the two children sit on them.
Chen Caozhi held the flute in his hand, glanced at Lu Weirui, and then began to play. This piece was adapted by Chen Caozhi based on the famous piano piece "To Alice" in later generations. It dealt with the high and low notes that the Dongxiao could not express.
Falling, the melody is slow and lingering, looping back and forth, passionately -
Ding Youwei and Lu Weirui were both fascinated by it. They fell in love with different people, but their true love was the same.
The clouds were drifting away and the sun was setting in the west. It was about two o'clock in the morning, and the little maid reminded: "My dear lady, the sun is setting in the west. We have to go back."
Ding Youwei said: "Ms. Wei Rui, please leave with me and rest in my Ding's villa tonight, okay?"
Lu Weirui said: "Very good, thank you sister-in-law of the Ding family."
The group went down the mountain and returned to Wubao. Ding Chunqiu had returned from Mingsheng Lake early and was waiting impatiently.
Ding Youwei and Lu Weirui went to say goodbye to Chen's mother, Mrs. Li. Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, saw that this pair of beautiful and beautiful children were about to leave, and felt extremely reluctant to part with them. The elderly were afraid of separation and were very sad.
Ding Youwei comforted: "Agu, can't I come back to visit you now? There is a first time and a second time. I will come back in the future. Agu, I have to take care of myself and watch Xiao Lang get married."
Giving birth to a child."
Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, was happy. She took Lu Weirui's little hand and stroked it gently, saying: "Good boy, good boy——"
Lu Weirui was very shy and whispered: "Take care of yourself, Aunt Chen. Weirui will come to visit you in the future."
Ding Youwei and Lu Weirui bowed their hands to Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, and asked Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, not to send her off. However, Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, refused and had to send her out of the gate of Wubao.
At this time, the setting sun was still strong, and Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, did not dare to force her to see her off again, so she said goodbye to Ding Youwei and Lu Weirui with tears in her eyes outside the gate, and ordered Chen Caozhi to see her off one more way.
Heatstroke.
Zongzhi and Runer waved their little hands to say goodbye to their mother, saying that they would see their mother again in September.
Lu Weirui invited Ding Youwei to ride in the same cart with her. Chen Caozhi walked in the shadows on the right side of the cart, and did not speak for a while inside or outside the cart.
When they came to the pine forest over there, Lu Weirui said: "Mr. Chen, please go back."
Chen Cao said: "Send it to Fenglin Ferry."
Ding Youwei was surprised and said, "It's nearly twenty miles from here to Fenglin Ferry."
Chen Cao said: "It doesn't matter. If nothing happens, just give my sister-in-law a ride."
Ding Youwei smiled and sat down, looking sideways at Lu Weirui. Lu Weirui's face was red, and she didn't dare to ask Chen Caozhi to send her as a gift. She was sending it to her sister-in-law.
The bullock cart rolled and the sound of clogs trampled, and after walking for another three or four miles, Lu Weirui felt a little uneasy and whispered to Ding Youwei: "Ding's sister-in-law——"
Ding You smiled slightly and whispered: "There are no outsiders now. You can call me sister-in-law like Cao Zhi."
Lu Weirui's neck turned red, and she murmured again and again: "Sister-in-law——"
Ding You smiled and asked, "Does Wei Rui pity Cao Zhi for the hard work of walking?"
Sister-in-law Ding knows how to read people's hearts, Lu Weirui nodded shyly.
Ding Youwei smiled sweetly and said to Chen Caozhi outside the window: "Young man, get on the ox cart in Laide. Don't be tired."
Chen Caozhi said: "Sister-in-law, I am used to walking long distances. Last year I went to Chuyang Taoist Temple in Baoshishan to borrow books from Master Ge and copy them. The round trip was more than 40 miles, and I always walked."
Ding Youwei said to Lu Weirui: "The young man doesn't listen to me, Weirui, tell him-"
Lu Weirui's face turned red and she said, "Let him walk." This sounded very coquettish.
Chen Caozhi walked all the way to Fenglin Ferry. The setting sun was shining, the sunset was like fire, the maple forest on the riverside was half red and half green, and the gently flowing river was rippling with rays of light. There were two ferries, one large and one small, here, and five cattle cars.
Cars cannot be transported across the river at one time, so they must be ferried in two batches.
Ding Chunqiu said goodbye to Chen Caozhi and crossed the river first. Ding Youwei and Lu Weirui stood at the sunset ferry, with the evening breeze blowing and their clothes fluttering, like immortal fairies.
The ferry came and went. Before boarding the ferry, Lu Weirui said to Chen Caozhi: "Chen Langjun, please complete the painting and show it to me later."
Chen Caozhi knew that Lu Weirui was talking about the half-side golden step head-shaking portrait, so he responded: "Okay, try your best to paint the best. If you are not satisfied, you can paint it again next time."
Lu Weirui smiled sweetly: "As long as it is painted by Chen Langjun, I will not be dissatisfied."
Chen Caozhi stood at the Fenglin Ferry and watched the ferry crossing the river. The light and shadow of the waves in the center of the river were changing. It was really beautiful and extraordinary.
