Chen Caozhi and Gu Kaizhi made the final touches to the mural, then bid farewell to the elder Zhu Fatai, and left Waguan Temple with Liu Shangzhui and Xu Miao for Qingxi Gate. The weather was fine. Except for Feng Lingbo, the others took the car.
Everyone was walking on foot and talking while walking, just like the scene when Wu Jun was a classmate.
Ran Sheng suddenly shouted: "Xiao Langjun, a group of people are coming from the opposite side. Could it be that the same group of people came to take revenge last time?"
Chen Caozhi and others looked in the direction of Qingxi Gate and saw a group of burly men who looked like family soldiers coming in angrily manner. They pointed and poked at them from a distance, obviously coming towards them. The six leaders of the Gu Mansion
Dao Buqu immediately walked to the front and asked several young men to get on the bus, just in case something unexpected happened——
Ran Sheng's eyesight was very good. At this time, he could clearly see the appearance of the man sitting on the couch that was carried by two people and covered by a cover. He said: "Young gentleman, this is a land bird."
Lu Qin must have come for Chen Caozhi, so Liu Shangzhi immediately said: "Zizhong, Changkang, I will go to inquire first and try not to cause trouble."
Chen Caozhi wanted to marry Lu Weirui, but he was unwilling to conflict with Lu Qin no matter what.
Chen Caozhi and others slowed down and looked at Liu Shangzhi striding up to meet Lu Qin. Lu Qin was still sitting on the couch, arrogant and rude. After a few words, Liu Shangzhi came back and faced him.
He looked ashamed and annoyed, probably because he had been ridiculed by land birds.
"Zizhong, if Lu Qin wants to talk to you, don't try to get along with him. This person is too rude."
When Gu Kaizhi heard what Liu Shangzhi said, he said angrily: "He is rude, so we just don't bother to pay attention to him and just pass him by."
Chen Caozhi looked unmoved and said, "I'll go see him and see what he has to say." He shook his sleeves and stepped forward calmly. Ran Sheng followed closely.
Two servants carried the couch to Chen Caozhi. The land bird sitting on the couch looked down at Chen Caozhi with contempt, then looked at Gu Kaizhi, Xu Miao and others, and only nodded to Xu Miao.
Then he said angrily: "Chen Caozhi, you are such a frivolous and incompetent person, you actually seduced my Lu family's girl and tried to climb up to my Lu family. I tell you, don't even think about it!"
Buddhist scriptures record that Yaksha occupies the throne of Emperor Sakyamuni, and sentient beings from all tribes slander and curse Yaksha. Unexpectedly, the more they insulted and cursed Yaksha, the ugly and ugly Yaksha gradually became taller and more beautiful. When Emperor Sakyamuni knew about it, he said that it was the hatred of all living beings that nourished Yaksha.
, Emperor Shitian came to Yaksha's seat and praised Yaksha a few words. Yaksha immediately changed back to his original short and ugly appearance——
Lu Qin, who was sitting on the couch, now looked like a Yaksha who was pretending to be in a high position. Chen Caozhi looked at Lu Qin squarely and said politely: "Brother Lu alone has the final say whether I am frivolous or incompetent. It is up to the common people of Jiankang."
Wind discussion."
Seeing that Chen Caozhi was not sullen and calm, Lu Qin couldn't help but get even more angry. He wanted to slap Chen Caozhi hard on his handsome face until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. Let's see if Chen Caozhi can still be cool and calm, but the beating
Fighting fiercely is what refugees do. Lu Qin still has to pay attention to the demeanor of the children of aristocratic families. Moreover, the eight-foot giant Ran Sheng followed Chen Cao every step of the way. It was unwise to use force, so he immediately slapped him on the bed.
, said in a disdainful tone: "You are deceiving the world and stealing your reputation. I only ask you, why did you lure my younger sister to a Buddhist temple for a private meeting? I will never break up with you until you make it clear today. I will accuse Shangshu Province and Tingwei.
you."
Chen Cao said: "Brother Lu, I am determined to marry Lu Weirui. I am not a married man, and I am of good moral character. According to the "Jin Code", which article do you accuse me of?"
Lu Qin said angrily: "You, Mr. Qiantang Chen, from a poor family, what qualifications do you have to marry my girl from the Lu family!"
Chen Caozhi said calmly: "How could we know that we are a small family from a humble family but not a giant family in later generations! In the past, the Yuan family in Ruyang was the fourth generation and the fifth Duke. Their disciples and former officials were all over the world. Where is that now! If they don't practice virtue, they don't know the destiny, they just rely on their merits.
Your Majesty, can your unearned service maintain the value of gold and jade?"
Lu Qin laughed angrily and said loudly: "Chen Caozhi, according to what you said, the rich and powerful families will rush to marry a poor family like you. Haha, one hundred thousand years later, the Chen family of Qiantang will be
They are the most wealthy people in the world, right? Hahahaha——"
Land Bird almost burst out laughing and shook his body on the couch, laughing non-stop. The two servants who were carrying the couch struggled to stabilize the couch, but Land Bird was shaking so badly that it was very hard for the two servants to lift it all the way.
When the bed accidentally tilted, Lu Qiao fell to the ground. Fortunately, he was held by two private soldiers of the Lu family, preventing him from falling too embarrassingly. The two servants who carried the bed were so frightened that they quickly knelt down.
I beg Rokuro-kun for forgiveness.
Lu Qin stood still, feeling ashamed and annoyed. The two servants who lifted the bed were simply cooperating with Chen Caozhi to embarrass him. But now it is inconvenient. When he returns home, he will whip these two stupid slaves five times each.
10. Turning around to look at Chen Caozhi, he didn't look like he was gloating about his misfortune. He stood there indifferently. He saw his miserable state but remained calm. However, Ran Sheng behind him was grinning widely.
——
For some reason, the more elegant Chen Caozhi behaved, the angrier Lu Qin became. He sneered and said: "Chen Caozhi, didn't you say that the Chen family of Qiantang is the future giant? Why bother with me, the girl of the Lu family? Wang,
Xie, Yu, Xi, there are many girls from high-ranking families in Jiankang. Let’s see if there is any far-sighted person willing to marry you, a future giant! Aren’t you good at talking and arguing with each other? Why don’t you go to Xie’s house in Wuyi Lane and convince the Xie family with your arguments?
Girl, you can only show your true ability if you can marry the Xie family! Hehe, even if you can win the argument, you will never marry the Xie family girl, because you are not worthy!"
Chen Caozhi looked at Lu Qin coldly and said: "Lu Qin, you are marrying a girl from the Yu family in Kuaiji. The Yu family will regret betrothing the girl to you in the future, and I will never let the Lu family regret it."
Said: "Xianmin, Shanzhi, Changkang, let's go."
Ran Sheng opened his arms and said loudly: "Give way, give way." He strode forward with his head held high and a majestic look on his face.
Lu's tribe avoided the road to the left, and Chen Cao and his party passed by.
Lu Qin didn't understand the meaning of Chen Cao's words at first, but when he understood it, Chen Caozhi and others had already passed by. He was so angry that his face was distorted, and he cursed loudly, which was detrimental to his demeanor. However, he was furious and said bitterly in his heart: "
Chen Caozhi, I want to see how you marry my Lu girl! It will only be a matter of time before King Langya ascends the throne. When the time comes, I will make it impossible for you to become a small official, and the Chen family of Qiantang will be reduced to a poor family——"
All the way, Lu Qin fantasized about how he would humiliate Chen Caozhi in the future. It seemed that as soon as King Langya came to the throne, he would be in control. He gradually calmed down after returning to Hengtang. How to deal with Chen Caozhi in the future was a matter for the future, but now
He wanted to report Wei Rui's frequent private meetings with Chen Cao Zhi to Ming's father, Lu Shi, and strictly restrain Wei Rui from going out in the future.
When he returned to the house and inquired, he found that his father Lu Shi had not returned. The steward reported that he had gone to Zhang Shizhong's house for a banquet. Lu Qin then went to the neighboring uncle Lu Na's house, but he learned that his uncle Lu Na had also gone to Zhang Shizhong's house for a banquet.
Lu Qin remembered the embarrassing incident of falling from the couch before, and became angry. He was about to whip the two servants who carried the couch when the Dian Cheng of Prince Langya came to look for Lu Qin and said that His Highness King Langya had something to ask Lu Qin to discuss.
, Lu Qin immediately went to see Sima Yi, King of Langya. Sima Yi ordered Lu Qin to go to Xuzhou on his behalf to express his condolences to Lu Song, the great minister of Tianshi Dao. He asked Lu Song to preach in Xuzhou for the time being, and if he had the opportunity, he would come to Jiankang again——
Sima Yi had no doubts about Lu Song's Taoism. Even if Lu Song showed up in the east hall of Tai Chi Hall that day, Sima Yi only thought that Lu Song was punished by the local officials and emperors for being impious when reciting sutras.
It had been more than a month since Lu Chang left Jiankang and returned to Xuzhou. Sima Yi was still very concerned about Lu Chang's palms that had been burned by boiling oil, so he sent Wang You Lu Qin to inquire.
Lu Qin learned from Lu Song the art of combining male and female energy in "Laozi Xiang'er Commentary". He was deeply interested in the mystery and felt very sorry for Lu Song to leave Jiankang. At this time, he happily accepted the king's order and prepared to set off tomorrow.
Lu Qin returned to the mansion. His father Lu Shi had already returned and was discussing with his uncle Lu Na in the outer study about inviting Gu Yuezhi and Gu Minzhi to the mansion for a banquet tomorrow. Lu Qin was dumbfounded and said after a while: "Dad, this is
What's going on? The Gu family is the Lu family and I have a feud!"
Lu Na said: "It can't be called a feud. It's just some disagreements between the ancestors of the two families. Both families were arrogant and arrogant, so they didn't interact with each other for forty years. Looking at this picture of the three heroes today, I think back to the time when Duke Shiheng, Duke Shilong and Gu
Our dearest friend, Mr. Shi Yan, can’t help but sigh and feel sorry for us.” As he said that, he unfolded a five-foot scroll for Lu Qian to look at.
Lu Shidao: "The crazy man of the Gu family spent all his energy to make this picture of the three heroes. In memory of the past friendship between the two Gu families, he wanted to restore old friendship with me, the Lu family. How could I, the Lu family, not be so magnanimous and not respond! The two families are on good terms.
From then on, the great clans of Jiangdong became united and became even more powerful in restraining the Nandu gentry from encroaching on Sanwu."
Lu Shi was very dissatisfied with the northerners crossing to the south and competing for land and profits with the Wu people. Although he was a high-ranking official in the court, he only thought about safeguarding the interests of his family. He was very dissatisfied with the northerners such as Wang, Xie, Yu, and Huan, who controlled a lot of government affairs.
I was criticized, so today I had Zhang Ping, my servant, to mediate. I also looked at the "Picture of the Three Heroes of Jiangdong" painted by Gu Kaizhi, and immediately expressed my hope to reconcile with the Gu family.
Lu Shi looked at the scroll carefully again and said with a smile: "What's strange is Gu Hutou. He has never seen me, Lord Heng and Lord Long, so why are the paintings so similar?"
Lu Na knew that the two portraits painted by Cao Buxing that Wei Rui asked for last time must have been lent to Gu Kaizhi, so he said: "Second brother, I don't know, it was me who lent Cao Buxing's portraits of Shihenggong and Shilong to Gu Hutou."
Copying, otherwise how could Gu Hutou be able to draw with such spirit!"
Lu Shi smiled, pointed to the inscription on the scroll and said: "Gu Hutou is talented, good at painting and calligraphy. This inscription only has a few words, but it makes people feel pity and emotion."
Lu Na was quite familiar with Chen Caozhi's calligraphy. He knew that this inscription was written by Chen Caozhi and he would not tell the truth. He nodded and said: "Gu Hutou is really talented——"
But I heard the second brother Lu Shichang sighing: "What a pity! What a pity!" Lu Na asked: "What's the pity for the second brother? Is it possible that this painting still has flaws?"
Lu Shi shook his head and said: "No, it's a pity that the Lu and Gu families didn't reconcile two years earlier. Otherwise, if Wei Rui was betrothed to Gu Hutou, wouldn't it be a good match! Wei Rui and Gu Hutou are both crazy.
They are both famous, and they both love calligraphy and painting, so they must get along well - alas, what a pity! What a pity!"
