Twenty-eight, each has its own romantic and two do not know
Twenty-eight, each has his own romance and the two don’t know
The main hall of Waguan Temple was built in the fourth year of Shengping. The main hall is five feet high, faces south, is five couplets wide, and four rooms deep. It has double eaves on the top of the mountain, and is trimmed with yellow and green glazed tiles. There are corridors around the hall to smear it.
The corner stone pillars support the roof trusses of the hall, making the front porch and inner hall very spacious.
Mrs. Lu, Zhang Wenwan and Lu Weirui, brought short hoes and four maids with hairpins followed Ran Sheng into the main hall through the small door of the side corridor. The weather was fine today. Although the door of the hall was closed, the hall did not look dark. The sunlight shone through the long hollow windows.
Come over, thousands of floating dust are flying in the interweaving beams——
Entering the main hall, even the rugged Ran Sheng couldn't help but slow down his steps and hold his breath. This empty main hall made people feel a grand solemnity.
In the center of the main hall, there is a statue of Sakyamuni Buddha, eight feet tall, sitting in lotus position, with his left hand placed horizontally on his left foot, and his right hand flexing his fingers to form a circular "Dharma Seal", which is the posture of the Buddha when he preached the sermon.
There are blue curtains separating the east and west walls of the main hall. The curtain on the east wall was half opened, but no one was seen. Only rustling sounds could be heard behind the curtain.
Mrs. Lu Zhang Wenwan signaled Ran Sheng not to disturb Chen Caozhi who was painting. She and Lu Weirui first had to pay homage to the Buddha and pray silently——
Suddenly I heard someone say on the west wall: "Changkang, the outline of Emperor Shitian has just been completed. Come and help me take a look. Are there any changes that need to be made?"
Lu Weirui's heart trembled. This clear voice sounded to her like the sound of Buddha's words. What she said had nothing to do with her, but she felt unreasonably happy.
Gu Kaizhi on the east wall responded: "Wait a moment, wait until I finish painting this fold of clothes." He also said: "Zizhong painted really quickly, and the outline of Emperor Shitian, who is more than ten feet tall, has been outlined. I am like this
The image of Vimalakirti Bodhisattva only had its upper body painted——"
Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "I, the eight tribes of Tianlong, want to draw eight, but you are the only one, so why not do it quickly!"
Gu Kaizhi said: "Otherwise, I would also like to draw the Arhats and attendants around Vimalakirti Bodhisattva. There are eleven people in total, which is more than you."
Chen Cao said: "I am learning and painting at the same time, and you have to help me in the final coloring and rendering."
Gu Kaizhi smiled and said: "Why don't you ask Miss Lu to help you? She is Mr. Zhang Andao's female disciple, so she is naturally good at using color."
Chen Caozhi said, "Mr. Zhang Andao's beloved daughter will also be coming to Beijing in a few days. The Zhang girl has a family background, so I invited her to help Changkang and save you from having to work too hard on the painting."
Gu Kaizhi laughed loudly and said: "If Zizhong dares to ask Mrs. Lu to help you with the mural, I will dare to ask Zhang Tongyun to come."
Gu Kaizhi is an innocent and cheerful person, and he is even more casual in front of his friend Chen Caozhi, calling his fiancée Zhang Tongyun by her first name.
Mrs. Lu had already stood up in front of the Buddha. After listening to Gu Kaizhi's words, she turned to look at Lu Weirui with a teasing smile on her lips.
Zhang Tongyun is Zhang Tongyun's niece. Lu Weirui also knows her and has a good relationship. She knows that April 15th is the wedding date of Gu Kaizhi and Zhang Tongyun. Now hearing Gu Kaizhi's teasing, Lu Weirui's cheeks turned red and she coughed lightly.
——
Gu Changkang immediately asked: "Who is here?"
Ran Sheng responded: "Xiao Langjun, Gu Langjun, it's Miss Lu who is here."
"Ah!" Chen Caozhi was not that surprised. Gu Kaizhi was so shocked that he almost fell off the ladder. He thought he and Chen Caozhi were the only two people in the hall, but he didn't expect the Lu family's girl to arrive quietly. Gu Kaizhi was very embarrassed.
Tan Yi, Zhu Fatai's first disciple, walked in from the side door, saluted Mrs. Lu, and went to open the palace door.
Short hoe said curiously: "Hey, didn't the Taoist say you can't open the palace door!"
Tan Yi was a little embarrassed and hesitated: "Open the door to make the hall brighter so that the two Tan Yue can paint."
After the palace door opened, Tan Yi, who was standing next to him, saw two people standing under the corridor outside the palace. These two people were obviously waiting for the door to open and enter the palace. The one on the left was a woman in her forties, of medium height.
Although her body is a bit fat, her appearance is still beautiful, her eyes are clear, and she smiles, giving people a feeling of elegance, calmness, cheerfulness and open-mindedness——
On the right side of the woman, a tall and slender girl in her twenties stands tall and graceful. She has a bun and an elegant skirt with a curved ruffle. It has a square collar and a placket that reaches to her armpits and wraps around her back.
Qi is the lower skirt, purple Qi is the upper skirt, and the waist is swirled, which makes the figure more graceful and slim. The face is simple and elegant, without makeup, the slightly raised eyebrows look very energetic, the eyes are slender, the bridge of the nose is straight, and the lips are very contoured.
beautiful--
Short hoe thought: "Whose girl is this? She is really tall!" Then he thought: "The dress is so luxurious, she must be a member of a wealthy family, and she must have donated a lot of incense money to Waguan Temple, so this
The snobbish monk opened the door to let them in, but my wife and young lady had to intercede with Xiao Sheng to enter through the side door. It’s really annoying!”
Short hoe gave Tan Yi a hard look and walked back to Lu Weirui, feeling very angry and unhappy.
Xie Daoyun, who was outside the corridor, gently supported his third aunt Liu Dan and was about to go up to the hall. When he saw Lu Weirui, he hesitated. For a moment, his heart felt like he had been stabbed hard by a sharp object. He thought to himself: "The monk has closed the door of the hall. It turns out it's...
So that Chen Caozhi and Lu Weirui could meet, but I thought I was a good argumenter, persuaded the monk to open the door of the palace, and barged in rashly, what kind of person have I become!"
For a moment, Xie Daoyun felt uncomfortable, embarrassed, ashamed, self-inflicted... She was filled with sadness and mixed feelings. She suddenly felt that the world was vast and life was meaningless. She came to Waguan Temple with such enthusiasm, wagging her lips and tongue to persuade the monk to open the door.
But the one who arrived first was the extremely beautiful Lu Weirui. This was like a blow to the head. If she hadn't been aloof and strong in her heart, she would have shed tears——
It was the first time for Xie Daoyun to come to see Chen Caozhi with a high bun, a hairpin and a curved skirt. Naturally, her thoughts were somewhat different from when she was dressed as Zhu Yingtai. When she dated Chen Caozhi as Zhu Yingtai, she became a close friend of Chen Caozhi.
The mutual understanding, sympathy and agreement to be lifelong friends are also sincere, and there is no intention to compete with Lu Weirui and Chen Caozhi. With Xie Daoyun's arrogance, she disdains to do such a thing——
But today she lightly swept her eyebrows and wore a hairpin in a girl's skirt. Her mood was always a little strange. Without the calmness and freedom of Zhu Yingtai, who was dressed in men's clothing, her third aunt Liu Dan said that day, "A Yuan, you are too aloof. In fact,
When a woman appreciates a man, isn't it because she likes him?" She denied it at the time, and her third aunt said she was being tough. In fact, she really felt that she did not like Chen Caozhi, because if she likes something, she often wants to keep it as her own, and she
Chen Caozhi had no such thoughts, but her association with Chen Caozhi made her happy. Seeing Chen Caozhi leading the family to rise step by step through hard work, she was very happy for Chen Caozhi, thinking that there was still someone like Chen Caozhi in the world.
People feel like they are neighbors at the end of the world...
If it's not like, then what is it? Xie Daoyun herself doesn't know very well! Friendship? Well, there is some, but it's not exactly like friendship, otherwise she wouldn't feel so uncomfortable now!
Mrs. Xie An, Liu Dan, was about to step up to the palace, but her niece, Xie Daoyun, stood firm and refused to leave. She felt a little strange and turned to ask, "A Yuan?" Seeing that Xie Daoyun's expression was different, such a shy and embarrassed look, Mrs. Xie Liu Dan was the first one to leave.
Once I saw on my niece Xie Daoyun's face that she was smart, witty, and quick in dealing with things. She had never been so awkward and embarrassed!
Mrs. Xie looked up the main hall and saw a pure and beautiful girl standing in front of the Buddha. The girl's full eyes were looking at the two of them. Mrs. Xie Liu Dan was not a slow-minded person, so he immediately understood and asked quietly:
"Yuanzi, is this the Lu girl?"
Xie Daoyunshan was able to control his emotions. At this time, he had recovered from the initial heartache and responded with a smile: "Yes."
When Mrs. Xie Liu Dan looked at Lu Weirui again, Lu Weirui had already smiled and bowed to her. I felt pity for that kind of gentle and charming attitude. Mrs. Xie nodded in greeting and said, "Is this Mrs. Lu?" she thought to herself.
: "Yong Xu, Xie Daoyun, and nymphomaniac Lu Weirui, also known as the two beauties in Jiangdong. This Lu Weirui is three points more beautiful than my A Yuan in terms of appearance. My A Yuan is too tall and too thin, but in terms of talent and learning, she is generally said to be a woman.
Even among men, there are few who can compare to my A-Yuan."
On that day, Lu Weirui had met Xie Daoyun once, and knew that she was Xie's girl. Although she only had a glimpse, she had a deep impression, and the feeling of déjà vu made Lu Weirui very strange, but she could not remember the past.
Where have I seen it before?
Lu Weirui walked to the threshold, nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, junior Lu Weirui." Then he saluted Xie Daoyun and said, "Thank you, sister, for being well."
Xie Daoyun returned the gift with a smile and said: "I helped Princess Xin'an get married the day before yesterday, and I met Sister Lu. Is this Mrs. Lu? This is my third aunt-" Then he gave a Wanfu gift to Mrs. Lu Zhang Wenwan.
Mrs. Lu Zhang Wenwan and Mrs. Xie Liu Dan greeted each other. Mrs. Lu was a little embarrassed. The affair between Chen Caozhi and Lu Weirui was widely spread. It was also known that the Lu family strongly opposed this marriage, but now she brought Weirui to the Buddhist temple.
I had a private meeting with Chen Caozhi behind closed doors, but now it was broken into by Xie An's wife Liu. I feel a little ashamed and worried. I went to Dong'an Temple a few days ago and met Wang Xizhi's wife Xi Xuan. I met Xie Xuan again at Waguan Temple.
Madam and her niece Xie Daoyun, if this continues, her second uncle Lu Shi will find out sooner or later that she helped Wei Rui meet Chen Caozhi. At that time, he is afraid that his second uncle Lu Shi will really force her husband Lu Na to divorce her——
Mrs. Xie Liu Dan said bluntly: "I heard that the murals were being painted in Waguan Temple. My niece Dao Yun loves calligraphy and painting, so she came here to watch them."
Mrs. Lu said: "Then please come into the hall and have a look. I also came to see the murals. They are covered with curtains and I haven't seen them yet."
Mrs. Xie turned around and asked Xie Daoyun: "Ayuan, do you have anything else to say? Otherwise, you won't be allowed to talk when you enter the palace."
Xie Daoyun shook his head and said: "I have nothing to say. I will leave after worshiping the Buddha and viewing the paintings."
Mrs. Xie Liu Dan explained to Zhang Wenwan: "Mrs. Lu, don't you know that this man refused to open the palace door just now. We finally begged him to open the door, but he told us not to talk when we entered the palace -"
Tan Yihe said: "This young monk is rude, but I still have to ask all the female believers to speak softly so as not to disturb the two Tan Yue who are painting."
Just then, Chen Caozhi heard Ran Sheng say that Lu Weirui had arrived, so he got down from the ladder and washed the ink stains on his hands in the copper basin in the corner of the palace. Then he heard the palace door open, and Lu Weirui was talking to Xie Daoyun. Xie Daoyun did not hide his female voice, so it must not be
Dressed as a man, Wei Rui had seen Zhu Yingtai in Wujun before. Wouldn't she recognize that Xie Daoyun was Zhu Yingtai?
Chen Caozhi opened the green curtain and said: "Brother Tanyi, please don't stop the believers from rejoicing. The outline of my Emperor Shitian has just begun, and I'm about to invite people to see what improvements can be made." He came over to Mrs. Lu Zhang Wenwan.
He saluted and said, "Mrs. Lu is good at painting. Please give me some advice for the younger generation." He also saluted Mrs. Xie An, Liu Dan, and said, "I have met Mrs. Xie." After a moment's hesitation, he bowed again and said, "I heard from Xie Youdu that Mrs. Xie learned from me."
Mr. Dai Andao painted it in Shanxi, and also asked Madam Xie to give her some advice."
Xie Daoyun felt uncomfortable all over and said politely: "How dare you, I came here to observe and learn." There was a faint nasal sound in her voice when she spoke, and she almost forgot that she was no longer Zhu Yingtai.
Mrs. Xie Liu Dan looked on with cold eyes and noticed that Chen Caozhi and A Yuan had some strange expressions. It seemed that A Yuan had not told her the truth. A Yuan said that Chen Caozhi did not know that she was a woman. But now it seems that Chen Cao Zhi did not know that she was a woman.
After all, he knew that A Yuan was disguising himself as a man, and A Yuan also knew in his heart that the two of them pretended not to know each other——
Chen Caozhi felt that such a scene made him feel a little uncomfortable. Mrs. Xie An's eyes were bright and clear, but Gu Kaizhi was still hiding behind the green cloth curtain and could not come out, so he said to Ran Sheng: "Xiao Sheng, go ask Gu Langjun to come out and help."
I look at paintings."
Ran Sheng went to the east wall and saw that Gu Kaizhi was still washing his hands vigorously, so he lowered his voice and said: "Gu Langjun, my young master has invited Miss Lu to come. When did Gu Langjun invite Miss Zhang to come?"
"
Gu Kaizhi laughed, shook his head and walked out, saluted Mrs. Lu Zhang Wenwan, and met Mrs. Xie again. When he saw Xie Daoyun, Gu Kaizhi also felt that she looked familiar, but he did not dare to look more, and stood beside Mrs. Lu.
The four surnames of Wu County, Gu, Lu, Zhu and Zhang, have been intertwined and intertwined for two hundred years. The Lu family and the Gu family have been at odds with each other for nearly 30 years, but often the in-laws of the Lu family are also the in-laws of the Gu family.
Gu Kaizhi is marrying Zhang Wenwan's niece. A few days ago, Zhang Wenwan discussed with Lu Na whether to go to celebrate the wedding. Lu Na was in a difficult position. This was a grudge between his parents and he had to ask his second brother, Lu Shi, to make up his mind.
Chen Cao said: "Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Lu, Chang Kang, come and point out my portrait of Emperor Shakti." At the same time, he ordered Ran Sheng to move the ladder frame, revealing the outline of the emperor who was more than one foot tall on the west wall.
Portrait of Shitian, this emperor Shitian has a face like a boy, is decorated with a crown and necklace, wears heavenly clothes, and holds a vajra pestle. He has an extraordinary aura -
Chen Cao's pure ink strokes are as dense as a spider's web, and his brushstrokes are like spring silkworms spinning silk. At first glance, they are simple, but upon closer inspection, they combine all six techniques, which shows his skill.
Chen Caozhi unfolded the paper "Eight Dragon Portraits" again. Mrs. Lu had already seen this painting. Mrs. Xie Liu Dan, Xie Daoyun and Lu Weirui had all seen it for the first time, so they came to appreciate it together.
Mrs. Xie asked in detail about the names and origins of the eight tribes, and Chen Cao answered one by one, looking at the two girls Xie and Lu, watching the paintings side by side and whispering, they seemed to have a good understanding of each other.
