The Qinhuai River was called Qingxi in ancient times. It originates from Jurong in the east and Lishui in the south. The two sources meet at Fangshandai. It bypasses Jiankang City from west to east and flows into the Yangtze River. The convoy of Miss Tongyun, the daughter of the Zhang family of Wujun, is along Jurong.
Come all the way along the south bank of Qingxi River.
Chen Caozhi and Liu Shangzhi accompanied Gu Kaizhi to welcome him ten miles outside Qingxi Gate, and met Zhang's motorcade at Bai'e Mountain. Accompanying Zhang Tongyun to Beijing were Zhang Mo's eldest son Zhang Xuanzhi, Zhang Xuan's nickname was Zu Xi, Nian Fang
Twenty, he has been extremely intelligent since he was a child. He is an outstanding figure among the descendants of the three Wu clans. He is as famous as Kong Wang, and together with Xie Xuan, he is also known as the North and South Xuan.
It was only when Chen Caozhi saw Zhang Xuanzhi that he remembered that Gu Kaizhi's fiancée Zhang Tongyun was also a well-known Xianyuan in history. "Shishuoxinyu.Xianyuan Chapter" records: "Xie Jue was his sister, and Zhang Xuan often called her sister.
To the enemy, there were Jin and Ni who traveled together with the Zhang and Xie families. When people asked about their advantages and disadvantages, they replied: "Mrs. Wang's expression is relaxed, so she has the atmosphere of the forest; Mrs. Gu's pure heart and beautiful reflection are naturally the beauty of the boudoir."
.'"
Xie Xuan is Xie Xuan, and Mrs. Wang is Xie Daoyun. Regarding Xie Daoyun, there is another record in "Shishuo Xinyu": "Ms. Wang Jiangzhou said to Xie Xie, 'Why don't you make any progress? It's because you are serious about worldly affairs and have talent.
limited?'"
With Xie Xuan's talent, he was still criticized so severely by his sister Xie Daoyun. It is obvious that Xie Daoyun was arrogant and harsh. Of course, history has quietly changed now. Xie Daoyun did not become the wife of Jiangzhou Governor Wang Ningzhi, and the wife of the Gu family is still the wife of the Gu family.
, can be called a pure heart jade reflection, the beauty of the boudoir, Zhang Tongyun's appearance can be seen.
At that time, the folk customs were fresh and simple, and there was no great defense between men and women like the later Song and Ming Dynasties. Gu Kaizhi came to greet him, and Zhang Tongyun also got off the car to meet him. Gu Kaizhi was overjoyed. This Zhang Tongyun was as beautiful as Lu Weirui, as Mrs. Lu Zhang Wenwan said.
, Lu Weirui is charming and beautiful, Zhang Tongyun is delicate——
Ever since they met when they were seven years old, Zhang Tongyun has always remembered this Gu Hutou. When we met again after more than ten years, Gu Hutou was a handsome man with a long body and a clear mind. However, he only had that curious expression on his face.
constant--
Chen Caozhi, Liu Shangzhi and Zhang Xuanzhi met each other. They were about the same age, and they talked in a congenial way. Only after talking about it did they find out that Zhang Xuanzhi got married last year, and his wife was a girl from the Kong family in Kuaiji, and they were brothers and sisters with Kong Wang.
While he was talking, Zhang Mo arrived with dozens of followers. When he saw Gu Kaizhi, he smiled and said, "The good son-in-law is here early."
Brother and sister Zhang Xuanzhi and Zhang Tongyun paid homage to their father, while Gu Kaizhi, Chen Caozhi and Liu Shangzhi also paid homage to Mr. Andao respectively.
Zhang Mo asked Chen Cao: "Aren't you going to attend the Tianque Mountain Elegant Gathering? I have something to say and will not go."
Chen Caozhi bowed and said: "I promised Changkang that I would accompany him to pick up Brother Xuan and Mrs. Zhang."
On the west road, another motorcade came, with Banli striding in front, rushing to salute Zhang Mo. Zhang Mo laughed loudly, looked at Chen Caozhi and said, "That's it." He then said, "Xuanzhi,
Atong, Aunt Wenwan is here to greet you, hurry up and see her."
The Lu family's motorcade had stopped by the roadside. Madam Lu and Lu Weirui had just gotten out of the car. Brother Zhang Xuanzhi and Zhang Tongyun had already arrived quickly to pay homage to their aunt and meet Lu Weirui.
Lu Weirui and Zhang Tongyun had not seen each other for three years. Now they met. They held hands and whispered, and they were very affectionate.
Although Zhang Tongyun was far away in Kuaiji, she also knew about the affair between Chen Caozhi and Lu Weirui. When she saw Chen Cao coming up to greet her aunt Zhang Wenwan, her aunt smiled at her and was very cordial. She couldn't help but be secretly surprised and thought to herself: "Isn't it that I heard about Lu?
Are you unwilling to let Wei Rui marry this Chen Caozhi? Could it be that you have changed your mind now? Well, this Chen Caozhi is handsome and has a very good demeanor. He is really a good match for Wei Rui."
Zhang Mo said: "Today, March 3rd, is the Shangsi Festival. We don't have to rush into the city. We can walk slowly along the clear stream, have a spring outing, wash our hair and feet, get rid of bad luck, and pray for good fortune."
Then there were servants of the Gu Mansion, and the servants of the Zhang Mansion found a bank with weeping willows, blooming wild flowers, a gentle stream, and a shoal.
, the female family members of the Lu family can enjoy playing on the waterfront.
Zhang Mo ordered his servants to spread a felt mat on the grassy river bank, set up three small tables, place dried fruits, smoked preserves, thin sweet wine and so on, and have a banquet with his son Zhang Xuanzhi and his sister Zhang Wenwan by the waterside to feel the sunshine of spring.
Take photos, look at the late spring scenery, wander your eyes and feel happy.
Zhang Mo asked Zhang Wenwan: "Sister Wan, I heard that Kong Wang and Chen Caozhi have become sworn friends?"
Zhang Xuanzi knew about his wife's brother Kong Wang's proposal to marry the Lu family, and wondered: "It's incredible that Kong Deze would become a good friend of Chen Cao!"
Mrs. Lu Zhang Wenwan said: "I don't know exactly how Kong Wang and Chen Caozhi got to know each other. It is said that the two cherished each other's talents, but Kong Wang told Wei Rui's second uncle's father that he would not propose to Wei Rui again."
Zhang Mo said with a smile: "With Chen Cao's presence, no one dared to propose to Wei Rui. Less than a month after Cao Zhi entered Jiankang, his reputation became so great that King Kuaiji, Master Lin, and Wang Youjun all appreciated him very much. In the Situ Mansion,
In the Dazhongzheng examination, the eloquence is unrivaled - look at me, these two are a couple."
Mrs. Lu looked sideways, and by the weeping willows on the river bank, four people, Lu Weirui, Zhang Tongyun, Gu Kaizhi, and Chen Caozhi, were talking by the water. The man was like a jade tree facing the wind, and the woman was like a lotus in the wind blowing against the water. The spring breeze was blowing, and her clothes were fluttering.
They are like a couple of gods and immortals.
Mrs. Lu smiled and shook her head, sighing softly.
Over there, Gu Kaizhi remembered something and said to Zhang Tongyun: "A Tong, come to Waguan Temple tomorrow to watch me paint."
Zhang Tongyun is shyer than Lu Weirui. Tongyun means Hongxia. It is said that Zhang Tongyun was often shy and blushed when she was young, so her father Zhang Mo named her Tongyun. Although Zhang Tongyun said that she had known Gu Kaizhi since childhood, they met again ten years later.
They were about to get married again, so they were even more embarrassed in front of Gu Kaizhi. She grabbed Lu Weirui's hand tightly to be more courageous, and said in a low voice: "I won't go."
Gu Kaizhi was so disappointed that he said to Chen Caozhi: "Zizhong, I'm afraid I won't be able to get the Vimalakirti statue out before the Buddha's birthday. You have to help me then."
Chen Caozhi looked at Lu Weirui and said, "It's so hard. Why don't I lie down from exhaustion?"
Lu Weirui pursed her lips and smiled, and said to Zhang Tongyun: "A-Tong, go ahead, I'll ask you to go with me tomorrow."
Zhang Tongyun raised his eyes and looked at Gu Kaizhi. Gu Kaizhi's eyes were bright and his face was full of earnestness. He nodded and said softly: "Okay."
Gu Kaizhi was overjoyed and bowed repeatedly: "Thank you very much!"
Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "Changkang, do you still need my help?"
Gu Kaizhi scratched his head and said, "It doesn't seem necessary."
Lu Weirui said: "A Tong, let's go to the waterside and wash our feet." She and Zhang Tongyun walked hand in hand towards the shoal, and the maids from the Zhang and Lu houses hurriedly followed.
The flowing water was clear, the spring was bright, and it was a very leisurely time. Chen Caozhi looked at the two beautiful women by the water and felt the beauty of life. He picked a willow leaf, held it in his mouth and played it long and three short times. The sound was clear and sharp.
, although the rhythm is monotonous, it is like the sound of nature——
Gu Kaizhi said curiously: "Willow leaves can also make such a beautiful sound!"
Chen Cao said: "All shepherd boys know this." He started playing again.
Lu Weirui and Zhang Tongyun sat on the bluestone by the river. They took off their shoes and socks, and their snow-white frosty feet were soaked in the clear stream. Zhang Tongyun softly exclaimed: "It's cold!"
Lu Weirui said: "The water is a bit cold, and I got used to it quickly." She splashed the water gently with her feet and watched the waves ripple.
Zhang Tongyun saw the big toe of Lu Weirui's left foot was black and blue, and asked why it was injured?
At this time, the sound of Chen Caozhi's willow leaves came. Lu Weirui turned around and met Chen Caozhi's eyes. She felt sweet in her heart and replied: "I was injured accidentally when I was visiting Dong'an Temple." She touched her waist.
I was holding the sachet and thinking about how to give it to Chen Caozhi.
Chen Caozhi and Gu Kaizhi came over, sat down a few feet below the two girls, and washed their feet together. Gu Kaizhi chanted: "The water in Canglang is clear, so I can wash my tassels; the water in Canglang is turbid, so I can wash my feet."
foot--"
Zhang Tongyun was quite shy, but fortunately with Wei Rui by his side, he felt more at ease.
Lu Weirui saw several banana plants growing near the river, so she picked two banana leaves with bare feet and handed one to Zhang Tongyun. Then she took out the sachet, her pretty face flushed, her delicate hands trembling slightly, and she carefully placed the sachet on the banana leaf.
Watching the banana leaf boat carrying the sachets float down with the water, my heart is filled with excitement.
Gu Kaizhi reached out and pulled the banana leaf closer. Under the astonished looks of Lu Weirui and Zhang Tongyun, Gu Kaizhi smiled and pushed the banana leaf boat toward Chen Caozhi. The banana leaf boat accelerated and Chen Caozhi picked up the fragrance.
With the bag in hand, the fragrance of magnolia is astounding to your nostrils, and you are intoxicated by the smell——
When Gu Kaizhi saw that Chen Caozhi had received the gift, he was very envious and stared at Zhang Tongyun intently, looking forward to it like a child.
Zhang Tongyun was so embarrassed that he asked Lu Weirui in a low voice: "What should Weirui do? I didn't prepare a sachet!"
Lu Weirui said: "Take off the jade pendant from your waist and give it to Gu Langjun."
With Lu Weirui as an example, Zhang Tongyun shyly put down the small jade pei on his waist. He also imitated Lu Weirui and placed the jade pei on the banana leaf. He was shy and flustered and did not place it properly. Moreover, the jade pei was heavier than the sachet and the banana leaf boat had not yet sailed.
It tilted in front of Gu Kaizhi, and the jade pei slipped into the water, making no sound.
Gu Kaizhi jumped up with an "ah" sound and waded into the water to look for it. It was a piece of white jade. However, there were many white stones in Qingxi River. Gu Kaizhi was short-sighted and searched for a long time but couldn't find it——
Chen Caozhi stood on the shore and said: "Changkang, stand still and don't disturb the water. Jade and stone are different. When the sun shines into the water, the jade will show its luster. You will definitely find it."
Both Lu Weirui and Zhang Tongyun came to look for her barefoot. Their four snow-white slender feet stepped on the pebbles of the river beach. They were wearing skirts and naked calves. They were very beautiful.
Lu Weirui had already seen the piece of jade in the water. She said nothing and turned to look at Chen Caozhi. Chen Caozhi obviously saw it too, and smiled slightly.
At this time, Zhang Tongyun also saw it and pointed it to Gu Kaizhi happily. Gu Kaizhi picked it up and was very happy.
Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "This is the twists and turns that Changkang wants."
