They often hate the short days when having fun, but fear separation when they are in love. Lu Weirui and Chen Caozhi lingered by the Jiangling Lake for most of the day, looking at the distant mountains and lakes, wandering among the green trees and flowers, watching gulls and herons flying up and down, and listening to the long and short songs.
The chirping of birds is quiet and noisy, the laughter is heard, the eyes are gazing knowingly, the slightest contact of the body makes the heart beat happily, and the simple words also feel endless affection——
The red sun in the sky seems to be displeased with the affectionate men and women in the world, and it seems that there is a Kuafu chasing behind it, and it is falling hastily towards the west mountain.
Mrs. Lu Zhang Wenwan urged Lu Weirui to return to the city. Mrs. Lu had agreed to go to Dong'an Temple to worship Buddha. Mrs. Lu also wanted to hear Chen Caozhi discuss Buddhist scriptures with Zhi Daolin. Zhi Daolin was very famous, and brothers Lu Shi and Lu Na respected Zhi Daolin.
Daolin, if Chen Caozhi can be praised by Zhi Gong, it may be possible to change Lu Shi's prejudice a little. However, Lu Shi is not just prejudiced against Chen Caozhi, but because of his family background. Even if Lu Shi appreciates Chen Caozhi,
In fact, it is difficult to agree to Lu Weirui marrying a child of a lower-class noble family against the interests of the family. Unless Chen Caozhi can be promoted to a high-ranking position soon, then the hope is greater, but a child of a lower-class noble family wants to be promoted to the fifth rank.
The above is almost impossible without two or thirty years of experience accumulation. How could Wei Rui afford it?
On the way back to the city, Lu Weirui and her stepmother Zhang Wenwan were in the same car. Lu Weirui looked back from the car window from time to time. Mrs. Lu knew that Weirui was looking to see if Chen Caozhi had followed, so she smiled and said: "Don't look, Chen Caozhi is waiting for us."
He will not return to the city until he has gone far."
Lu Weirui's pretty face was blushing, and she sat down obediently. Mrs. Lu looked at her white and rosy cheeks, her eyes were watery, and her complexion was radiant. She had never been so beautiful, and she felt both love and worry in her heart, and asked
: "Rui'er, has Chen Langjun made a promise to you again?"
Lu Weirui hesitated and said: "Oh, yes, Mr. Chen asked me to wait for another three years and he will definitely marry me."
Mrs. Lu sighed faintly: "Another three years! How many three years can there be in life? Alas, this Chen Caozhi - OK, OK, I don't blame him, I just said what he can achieve in three years.
He has a job and a reputation now, but a false reputation is not enough."
Lu Weirui said nothing, thinking: "Since Chen Langjun said that, he must have a way. Three years ago, Chen Langjun was from a humble family, but now he has become a member of the gentry, and he has become famous in Jiangzuo before he was crowned. Apart from Chen Langjun, there is no one else.
Who can do it!"
…
It was already dusk when Chen Caozhi returned to Gu Mansion. Gu Kaizhi had been waiting for him for a long time. He said that Kong Wang, Fan Ning and Sun Tai had visited today, and that Zhu Fatai of Waguan Temple was greatly surprised after seeing "Eight Parts of the Dragon Statue".
, please Chen Caozhi to paint this mural, the merits will be immeasurable——
Chen Caozhi was a little strange. It was not unusual for Kong Wang and Fan Wuzi to visit him. What was he doing when Sun Tai came to visit?
After dinner and washing, Chen Caozhi and his third brother Chen Shang took a walk in the courtyard and asked Sun Tai why he came.
Chen Shangdao: "Sun Tai is very good at maneuvering. After the Sun family in Langya became a scholar, he relied on Du Zigong's reputation and made friends with dignitaries in Beijing who believed in Tianshi Dao. He has been appointed as the magistrate of Feng'an County in Dongyang County and will take office soon.
, called a visit is actually just to show off, but it seems that I really have something to tell you, and I will come back in two days."
Chen Caozhi frowned slightly, Sun Tai became the head of a county, and he was more able to spread his Tao of Heavenly Masters. According to historical records, the rebellion between Sun Tai and Sun En's uncle and nephew was more than ten years after the Feishui War, which is still some time ago.
In more than thirty years, could it be that because the Sun family of Langya became a scholar, Sun Tai's rebellion among the Celestial Masters and Taoists would be brought forward earlier?
At this time, Gu Kaizhi and Liu Shangzhi walked into the courtyard. Gu Kaizhi said: "Zizhong, are you going to Xie Mansion in Wuyi Lane? Yesterday you agreed to Xie Changshi to go with Ke Tingdi."
Chen Caozhi ordered the boy Huang Xiaotong to follow him with a wooden box containing Ke Ting's flute. When preparing the car, Liu Shangzhi asked quietly: "Zizhong, did you see Lu's girl today?"
Liu Shangzhi was an official of Lu Na and lived in the Lu Mansion. He knew about Mrs. Lu and Lu Weirui's trip today. Just now, Gu Kaizhi said that Chen Caozhi also went out alone until dusk and returned. Naturally, he thought of Chen Caozhi. Went to see Lu Weirui.
Chen Caozhi chuckled and said: "Why do you want to find out so clearly? Are you going to tell the official?"
Liu Shangzhi smiled "hehe" and understood, so he stopped asking.
Chen Caozhi, Liu Shangzhi, and Gu Kaizhi took three ox carts and just left the gate of the Gu Mansion when they saw a carriage coming in front of the gate, accompanied by a group of sergeants to escort them, but it was Xi Chao who came to visit.
Xi Chao asked and found out that Chen Caozhi was going to Xie Mansion in Wuyi Lane, and said with a smile: "Very good, I will also visit Wan Shigong together, and by the way, I will appreciate Zi Zhong's wonderful voice. Zi Zhong, I could have heard you three years ago." The clarinet music has been played to this day. Buddhism emphasizes the occurrence of causes and conditions, effects arise from causes, and aspects appear from conditions. It seems that if I, Xichao, want to listen to Zi Zhong's music, I have to rely on the Xie family of Chen County."
Ran Sheng on one side crossed his hands and saluted, "I'd like to teach Xi Canjun. I learned that my young man saw off Xi Canjun in Wu County three years ago. My young man played a song for Xi Canjun, but Xi Canjun has already left." It was far away and I didn’t hear it.”
Xi Chao laughed loudly and said: "There is such a thing, I really have no chance."
Ran Sheng said: "It's absolutely true. Xi Canjun didn't hear it, but I heard it. By the way, Mr. Zhu Langjun of Shangyu also heard it, and he said it was a feast for his ears."
"Oh?" Xi Chao looked at Chen Caozhi and asked, "Is it Zhu Yingting or Zhu Yingtai?"
Chen Caozhi replied: "It's Zhu Yingtai."
Xi Chao smiled and said: "It seems that Zhu Yingtai and Zizhong are destined."
Gu Kaizhi said: "When Xi joined the army, Zhu Yingting was not Zhu Yingting, but Xie Xuan and Xie Youdu."
Xi Chao asked: "Who is Zhu Yingtai?"
Gu Kaizhi said: "Zhu Yingtai is Zhu Yingtai. He is Xie Youdu's cousin and lives in seclusion in Shangyu."
Xi Chao said: "I see, then let's go to Wuyi Lane together. Maybe Zhu Yingtai has come here from Shangyu."
Both Ran Sheng and Gu Kaizhi were outspoken and told everything they knew. In fact, there was nothing that could not be said. However, Chen Caozhi felt that Xi Chao seemed to know some secrets and their words were quite ambiguous. Xi Chao was trying to support him. The people who were kind to him left him a little confused tonight.
Xi Chao invited Chen Caozhi to ride with him. In the car, Xi Chao did not mention Zhu Yingtai at all. He only said that today the ministers of the DPRK and China were reviewing the memorial for Duke Huan to move the capital and immigrate. Most of the courtiers respected Duke Huan and did not dare to In advance of the remonstrance, Wang Shu, the governor of Yangzhou, and Sun Chuo, the chief minister of Sanqi, expressed their objections. Sun Chuo eloquently said: "In the past, Zhongzong Long Fei not only trusted in the alliance between heaven and man, but actually relied on the Yangtze River to draw thousands of miles to defend it. "Ear." The intention of favoring Jiangzuo is obvious, and there are some reasons, such as the northern land is desolate, people are suspicious and fearful, and Luoyang is a place that is vulnerable to enemies. Chen Cao has said it the day before -
Xi Chao said: "As soon as Sun Chuo came forward, the courtiers all agreed that moving the capital was impossible. There were various reasons. It seems that it is difficult for Huan Da Sima to implement this proposal." He then whispered: "Huan Da Sima also knows this. It’s difficult to do, so it’s just a try and a bluff.”
This was Xi Chao's confidant's words, and Chen Cao said: "If Huan Da Sima wants to achieve Wei Wu's great cause, Luoyang must be defended. When Murong Wei and Fu Jian are fighting, Xu Tuliang, Xu, Henan.
"
Xi Chao praised: "Good! Zizhong will go with me to Gusu this time, and Duke Huan will welcome you."
Chen Caozhi asked: "When will Brother Xi set out?"
Xi Chao said: "Tomorrow, after Huan Ji gets married to Princess Xin'an, I will send him back to Jingzhou. There are still some affairs in Jingzhou that need to be dealt with. In about April or May, I will come to Jiankang to welcome you to Gushu."
The date for Gu Kaizhi's wedding was April 15th. He happened to attend Gu Kaizhi's wedding before leaving Jiankang. Chen Cao said: "Very good."
The group crossed the Zhuque Bridge and entered Wuyi Alley. Xi passed the door of the Langya Wang family but did not enter. Although the Gaoping Xi family and the Langya Wang family were related by marriage, the descendants of the Langya Wang family looked down on the Xi family and thought that Xi Chao's grandfather Xi Jian
He is a refugee commander who was promoted to a high family due to military merit. Not as good as the Langya Wang family, which has a long history of Guanying family. When Xi Chao was a boy, he came to Wuyi Lane to visit his aunt Xi Xuan.
, Wang Hui’s teasing, Wang Hui asked the young Xi Chao if he could use the double hammer? Wang Shao laughed loudly, so Xi Chao rarely went to the palace in Wuyi Lane. The last time was because his uncle Xi Tan died of illness.
I came here to pick up my aunt Xi Xuan and my cousin Xi Daomao back to Jingkou for the funeral——
Yesterday, Xi Chao sent a civil servant from Xifu to the palace in Wuyi Lane to find out that Wang Xizhi and his wife had gone to Jingkou with Wang Xianzhi. Xi Daomao's period of mourning for his father had expired, so it was time for his marriage to Wang Xianzhi to take place.
Since Xi Chao knew that his aunt was not here, he naturally would not visit the Wang family.
A group of people came to Xie's Mansion and handed over the famous assassin. Xie Wan learned that Xi Chao was coming to visit and went out to greet him personally. Xi Chao was the most popular person under Grand Sima Huanwen and the think tank of Xi Mansion. Xie An and Xie Xuan were in Xi Mansion, and they
The relationship between Xi Chao and Xi Chao is quite close.
Xi Chao couldn't help but smile knowingly when he heard that Chen Caozhi had come here last night to help Xie Daoyun negotiate with him. He had defeated Zhuge Zeng and Fan Wuzi and prevented Xie Daoyun from getting married.
Xi Chao had previously made ambiguous remarks in front of the Gu Mansion, but in front of Xie Wan, he never mentioned Zhu Yingtai or the affairs of the government. He only asked in detail how Chen Caozhi and Xie Daoyun joined forces to argue with Fan Wuzi yesterday.
I am in awe of Xie Daoyun's last sharp blow.
This day is February 15th. The bright moon rises early. The moon is white and the wind is clear. The flowers are blooming. Xie Daoyun is sitting behind the curtain in the small room of the hall with her lyre in her arms. She hears Xi Chao talking about Chen Cao to her fourth uncle Xie Wan.
Xie Daoyun couldn't help but smile as she saw him off without bragging about the interesting things behind his back. The past events of Wu County came to mind.
Xie An likes music, and Xie's house has female singers who are good at musical instruments and can sing and dance. At this time, they all show off their skills, playing, playing, and singing, and they are full of excitement——
Xie Wan smiled at Chen Caozhi and said: "This is called throwing bricks to attract jade." After saying that, Tie Ruyi knocked on the pear wood table in front of him, and the female prostitutes bent down and retreated.
The lanterns and the moon were glowing, and the whole hall was quiet. Chen Caozhi held the Keting flute with his left hand high and his right hand low, whining and playing the song "Good Night Yin". Everyone in the hall had listened to those beautiful music before, and now they heard it again
Chen Cao's solo performance is like a clear spring that cleanses the heart and mind, making both body and mind pure.
Xie Daoyun in the small room stroked the strings with his slender fingers, and two words surged in his heart:
"No way!"
Whenever King Huan Ye heard Qing's song, he would always call him Nai He! Hearing this, Xie An said: "Zi Ye can be said to have been deeply affectionate."
