Thirty-eight, act with confidence and be rude (Part 1)
In order to avoid the eyes and ears, Lu Weirui has only brought a short hoe, two maids with hairpin flowers, and a short hoe's brother Banli at his last few visits to Waguan Temple in recent times. Zhang Tongyun saw Lu Weirui's simple carriage, so she also only brought a few maids.
Little maid, I didn’t expect that when I left Qingxi Gate today, I met a few men who were drunk and drunk. Their headscarves were askew and their clothes were open. They were singing, laughing and cursing. They were entangled all the way and even raised the car curtain to see the beauty——
Banli angrily scolded: "This is Lu Shangshu, the female family member of Shizhong Zhang. If you dare to entangle me again, I will break your legs!"
One of the handsome men laughed and said: "Lu Shi, are you Zhang Ping's female family member? Lu Shi doesn't dare to be rude to me. You, a domestic slave, dare to break my legs. I'll break your legs first."
." He yelled: "Xianglong, fight!" and another man rushed up, pushed Chestnut to the ground, and stomped on it several times.
The short hoe screamed and stepped forward to push the two men away, but was pushed and fell. Remembering Ran Sheng's great strength in lifting the stone mortar, he ran to the temple to ask for help. Lu Weirui ordered the coachman to drive over and the few men rushed over.
The prodigal man refused to give up and chased him all the way to the gate of Waguan Temple.
When Ran Sheng heard that Miss Lu was prevented from entering the temple by the prodigal, he was furious and rushed down the mountain gate like a wild bull——
The five unconscious men stopped in front of Lu Weirui and Zhang Tongyun's oxcart. The curtains had been pulled down. The man named Xianglong was holding on to the car window and wanted to put his head in to see the beauty, but he heard "pop"
"With a crisp sound, Xianglong received a hard slap in the face, covered his face and took two steps back, shouting: "A beauty hits someone, a beauty actually hits someone, how can it be unreasonable!" He leaned closer to the car window again, and suddenly stretched out from the car.
A handle of jade Ruyi hit him hard on the head, and the jade Ruyi broke. Xianglong held his head and cried out in pain, shouting angrily: "Hurry up and call someone to tear down this bullock cart!"
There was a "bang" sound, and Xianglong was knocked to the ground. There were a few more "bang bang" sounds, and the other four men fell to the ground respectively, rolling on the ground, screaming in pain.
Xianglong howled: "Zhu Lingbao, my leg seems to be broken. Oops, call someone quickly."
"No one is allowed to move. If you try to run away, I will trample each one to death!" The mighty and majestic Ran Sheng roared, and the five people rolling on the ground were frightened and did not dare to move.
Ran Sheng shouted: "Sit down on the ground and wait for my husband to deal with it." He walked to Lu Weirui's oxcart and asked: "Miss Lu, are you okay?"
Lu Weirui, who was in the car, responded: "It's okay." She raised her voice and asked, "A Tong, I didn't scare you, did I?" After saying that, she threw the broken Yu Ruyi in her hand out of the window.
Zhang Tongyun, who was in the bullock cart at the back, said with a trembling voice: "It's okay." Zhang Tongyun had never encountered anything like this before, and was quite frightened. Lu Weirui was actually calm.
Chen Caozhi and Gu Kaizhi rushed over, first greeted Lu Weirui and Zhang Tongyun, and then glanced at the five young men who were swaying, disheveled, and with powder on their faces——
The man named Zhu Lingbao stood up and said angrily to Chen Caozhi and Gu Kaizhi: "Look at you two, you two have good looks, why do you have no sense of magnanimity and let your slaves commit crimes!"
Gu Kaizhi was furious. It was unreasonable for these libertines to molest other people's women and even accuse them of being immodest. He ordered two servants to beat up these scoundrels——
Zhu Lingbao shouted: "Wait a minute! We are drinking and drinking today. We are arrogant and indulgent, and our inappropriate behavior is understandable. In the past, Zuo Pu shot Zhou Boren to the family banquet of Shangshu Ji Zhan. Ji Zhan had a doting concubine who was good at singing. Zhou Boren was here
Suddenly he got mad in the seat, took off his clothes and naked body, took Ji Shangshu's concubine in his arms, and wanted to have sex. Although he was stopped, Zhou Boren was not ashamed, and Ji Zhan was not deeply blamed. This so-called famous man is relaxed and elegant——"
Chen Caozhi said coldly: "Xiao Sheng, break this guy's legs!"
Ran Sheng stepped forward in response, swept his legs across his body, and was frothing at the mouth. Zhu Lingbao, who was talking enthusiastically, screamed and fell to the ground, hugging his legs and wailing. The second servant Gu also rushed forward and beat the other four people. The one named Xianglong
He shouted: "I am Langya King Dianwei——" Before he could finish his words, Ran Sheng punched him in the chest, and he lost his breath immediately.
Ran Sheng shouted: "I don't care who you are, I'll beat you as you please."
Zhu Fatai, the elder of Waguan Temple, hurried over and recognized that the three people lying on the ground were all favored by Langya King Sima Yi - Zhu Lingbao, good plan, Xianglong, look like that, you know he is crazy, otherwise he will be mad.
How dare you tease Lu and Zhang's girl? But since they were beaten like this and their legs were broken, they persuaded Chen Tanyue and Gu Tanyue to let these five people go -
Chen Caozhi nodded and said, "It's all up to the elders." He and Gu Kaizhi accompanied Lu Weirui and Zhang Tongyun back to Waguan Temple. Ran Sheng carried Banli back. Banli was not seriously injured, but his foot was sprained and it was difficult to walk.
When he did not move, Zhu Fatai came back and said that he had severely reprimanded the five Zhu Lingbao people. For the sake of face, these five people would not publicize the matter and asked Chen Tanyue and Gu Tanyue to paint the murals peacefully. Don't let this ruin their mood.
Zhu Fatai learned medical skills and ordered his disciples Tan Yi and Tan Er to help Banli go to the side hall of the main hall for treatment.
Chen Caozhi asked Gu Kaizhi: "Changkang, who is this Zhu Lingbao? A descendant of the Zhu family in Wu County?"
Gu Kaizhi: "I don't know, but he is definitely not a descendant of the Zhu family in Wu County."
Lu Weirui said: "Chen Langjun, I have heard of the names of Zhu Lingbao and Xianglong. They are both ministers of King Langya. They have quite a relationship with my sixth brother. My sixth brother was appointed as a friend of King Langya last month."
Langya Wangyou is a member of the Qing Dynasty. He is an official in name, but is actually a friend. He is prepared to serve as an advisor. Once Sima Yi, the king of Langya, ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, then Langya Wangyou has a great hope of being promoted to a servant or a regular servant.
Now Emperor Sima Pi has been poisoned by medicine and is unable to govern. Sima Pi has no children, and his younger brother Sima Yi, the king of Langya, is obviously the heir apparent. Lu Shi tried his best to win the promising and important position of Prince Langya for his son Lu Qin——
But Chen Caozhi understood that following Sima Yi, the king of Langya, was the least promising, and the end would be quite tragic. But now, if he kindly reminded Lu Shi, Lu Qin, in addition to being ridiculed and humiliated, he would also be killed.
Disasters, prophets are often tragic——
Gu Kaizhi was still angry and said: "It's so ridiculous that there are such ridiculous things in the world. Those scoundrels think that they can do whatever they want just by obeying the rules. They also say that we are immodest, and magnanimity is not the way to deal with such people!"
Chen Cao said: "Wei Rui and Miss Zhang will not come to the temple in the next few days. The east and west murals will be completed by about the third of next month. Then the two ladies will come to watch them again."
Chen Weirui responded: "Okay." She thought to herself: "Zhu Lingbao will definitely tell my sixth brother about this. If my sixth brother tells my second uncle, my second uncle will be furious. I will have to live in seclusion these days."
Lu Weirui and Zhang Tongyun were afraid of affecting Chen Caozhi and Gu Kaizhi, and after sitting for a while, they were going back home. Chen Caozhi asked Ran Sheng and Gu's two servants to escort him, and Banli Yulaizhen drove him back.
When saying goodbye in front of the mountain gate, Lu Weirui gently touched Chen Caozhi's hand and said softly: "Mr. Chen, don't worry, it doesn't matter to me."
Lu Weirui was under far more pressure from her family than Chen Caozhi, but she didn't show any sadness, but came to comfort Chen Caozhi——
Chen Caozhi's eyes were a little moist. He kissed Lu Weirui's hand and said, "Well, we are together."
Gu Kaizhi over there also followed suit, grabbed Zhang Tongyun's hand and kissed it, making the Zhang girl's face flush with embarrassment, but her heart was extremely happy.
The next few days were quiet, and no news was heard from Zhu Lingbao and others. After all, it is very embarrassing to have someone's leg broken. He tried to keep it as quiet as possible, but Chen Caozhi was not naive to think that Zhu Lingbao and others
He would just let it go, but he was not afraid. Next month he would enter the Xifu. No matter how powerful King Langya was, he would not be able to control the Xifu, not even Emperor Sima Pi.
Chen Caozhi was worried that Lu Weirui would be scolded because Lu Shi knew about Zhu Lingbao last time, and Banli sprained his foot. He had not seen him come to report in the past few days, so he asked Gu Kaizhi to go to Zhang Mansion and ask Zhang Tongyun to visit Lu Mansion.
The news was that everything was safe and sound. Lu Weirui also asked Zhang Tongyun to bring a piece of "Pearl Magnolia Picture" that she had recently painted to Chen Caozhi. The two-color petals were as red as rouge and as white as ice and snow, just like Lu Wei's steadfast heart and such
The passion of fire——
Chen Caozhi and Gu Kaizhi no longer took a day off. They came to Waguan Temple every day to paint. Zhu Fatai and his disciples were also busy for the annual grand Buddha's birthday.
On the first day of April, Gu Kaizhi's father, Gu Yuezhi from Jingzhou, took a boat to Jiankang. Chen Caozhi accompanied Gu Kaizhi to Bailuzhou Pier to greet him. Also coming with Gu Yuezhi were Xu Miao, a literary agent from Wuling County, and Xu Miao's wife Feng Lingbo.
When she arrived with her husband, Feng Lingbo was Chen Cao's adopted sister, so she was naturally overjoyed to meet her.
This was the first time Chen Caozhi met Gu Yuezhi, and he was very respectful.
Gu Yuezhi is the same age as Sima Yu, the king of Kuaiji. He is forty-three years old this year, but his beard and hair are as silver as silver, but his appearance is not old. As the saying goes, "the quality of pines and cypresses is as strong as frost." He looked at Chen Caozhi with a smile and said warmly: "I
This time when I entered Jiankang, I met Sima Huan when passing by Gushu. Sima Huan really longed for Cao's nephew. He invited his nephew to attend Kai's wedding and then went to serve in the Xifu." Then he said to Gu Kaizhi: "
Xie You will come back in two days to attend your wedding."
Gu Kaizhi said happily: "That's great, lively."
That night, a banquet was held in the Gu Mansion. Liu Shangzhi, Xu Miao, Chen Caozhi, Gu Kaizhi, Chen Shang, and their friends reunited. They exchanged cups for cups and wanted to get drunk before resting. Gu Kaizhi remembered that Zhu Yingtai was also in the capital, so he ordered
The servant went to Xie Mansion in Wuyi Lane to invite Zhu Yingtai to a party——
Chen Caozhi stopped quickly. How could Xie Wan allow his niece Xie Daoyun to go out at this time? Wouldn't this be a scolding for Xie Daoyun? He quickly said that Zhu Yingtai had received Wang Xizhi's health prescription last time and could not drink alcohol. If he wanted to have a party, he could send someone to invite him tomorrow morning.
I wish Yingtai to go to Waguan Temple for a while, and the mural will be completed tomorrow.
When Xu Miao learned that Zhu Yingtai had also arrived in Beijing, he was very happy and said, "Very good. I can now listen to the wonderful debate between Zizhong and Zhu Yingtai again."
Gu Kaizhi said with a smile: "The immortal people missed two extremely exciting debates, but I am very lucky. I am very lucky!"
Xu Miao said: "I heard about Zizhong's debate in Situ Mansion that shocked everyone in Jingzhou. I was really fascinated by it. This is one debate, so what is the other debate?"
Gu Kaizhi then told about the fierce argument between Chen Caozhi and Fan Ning for Xie Daoyun on February 14th, and also said that Zhu Yingtai intended to propose to Xie Daoyun——
Xu Miao laughed and said: "Zizhong actually joined forces with Xie Daoyun to argue with others, haha, who else can defeat him, not even Brother Yingtai?"
Gu Kaizhi suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, it seems that the Xie Mansion did not hold a gathering on March 14th? Does Zizhong know about this?"
Chen Cao said: "Didn't Zhu Yingtai say it before at the Tianque Mountain Gathering? Whoever wants to propose to Lady Xie must first overcome him in arguments. It is estimated that no one will dare to challenge."
Gu Kaizhi smiled and said: "So Zhu Yingtai has great hope of marrying the famous Yong Xu and Xie Daoyun."
Xu Miao said: "I have been famous for the Xie family for a long time, and I thought she was not a good match for Zhu Yingtai——"
Gu Kaizhi and Liu Shangzhi asked in unison: "Why?"
Xu Miao said: "From the rumors, the Xie girl is a self-admired person who has her eyes set high above her head. She is not inferior to women, and her talents are better than those of men. And Brother Yingtai is also a very arrogant person. How can we compete with him?"
We started dating because we have Zi Zhong, and Zhu Yingtai only admires Zi Zhong, and he loves us like no other - just imagine, can two people who are proud of their talents and arrogant get along harmoniously?"
Liu Shangzhi said: "Otherwise, if Zhu Yingtai fully displays his talents and impresses the Xie girl, he can also become a good couple -" Seeing Chen Caozhi laughing on the side, he asked, "Does Zizhong think so?"
Chen Caozhi nodded and said, "Of course."
Gu Kaizhi said: "I have seen Miss Xie's eloquence before. She should not be inferior to Zhu Yingtai. It will be difficult for Zhu Yingtai to convince Miss Xie unless Zizhong helps Zhu Yingtai negotiate and joins forces.
Then you can win against Xie Daoyun, but this is a bit too weak to win, and the Xie family girl is not convinced either——"
