It was raining at night, and Chen Caozhi fell into a rather uneasy sleep amidst the soft sound of rain. Dreams came one after another. Scenes he had experienced in his past life and those he had never experienced flashed through his dreams like a revolving lantern. At the fourth watch, the rain stopped.
, it’s strange that those complicated dreams disappeared with the sound of rain. When Chen Caozhi woke up in the morning, he only remembered the tail of the dream. In the dream, Lu Weirui was lying ill in bed, just like the time in Wu County when he caught the cold and flushed.
Lu Weirui was extremely charming. His sister-in-law Ding Youwei was with Lu Weirui, but he was galloping away, as if he was looking for a panacea for Weirui. It also seemed that it was not Weirui who was sick, but his sister-in-law. Anyway, he was very anxious.
, it would be impossible if he didn’t find the medicine. The moment the rain stopped, he seemed to have found the medicine, so he fell asleep peacefully——
Chen Caozhi got up to wash up, and Ran Sheng also got up. The manager of the post had been ordered to prepare a pot of soup cakes early last night. After Chen Caozhi and Ran Sheng finished eating, they said goodbye to Xi Chao and went ahead——
Xi Chao smiled and said: "It's only three o'clock in the morning, and my heart is like an arrow when I return."
Mrs. Xi Zhou Ma Tou said: "It has been raining for several days, and the rain has cleared this morning. Isn't it a sign that Chen Langjun and Miss Lu will be favored by God and become a couple?"
Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "Thank you sister-in-law Zhou for your kind words. Brother guest, I'll go first then." He bowed to Xi Chao and his wife, walked out of the inn gate, rode on the big maroon horse "Zidian", and headed north.
As he left, Ran Sheng followed closely on his big white horse.
After the midsummer rain, the air is extremely fresh, the sun has not yet risen, the morning breeze is cool and cool, the vegetation and leaves along the way are prosperous, and the faint fragrance lingers on the nose. Not only are summer flowers such as cypress, butterfly flower, and purple jasmine not forgotten,
Devastated by the torrential rain for days, it becomes even more colorful——
It was so wonderful to meet Lu Weirui on such a day!
Thinking that he would soon see the flower-like Lu Weirui, Chen Caozhi felt sweet and excited. He was more eager than when he came to Jiankang from Qiantang to meet Lu Weirui for the first time at the beginning of the year. The deeper the love, the more he thought about staying together for a long time, and the harder it was to say goodbye.
Bear--
The horse "Zidian" seemed to feel the master's mood. It ran faster and faster. It passed a small lake. The lotus flowers on the east side of the lake were very beautiful. The raindrops on the lotus leaves were like white jade beads on a sapphire plate.
The breeze blows slowly, and the raindrops on the lotus leaves roll unsteadily, suddenly pouring into the water——
Chen Caozhi slowed down his horse and thought to himself: "It's more than twenty miles from Laoshengdian to Xinting. I rushed there in such a hurry and arrived in half an hour. Wei Rui was riding in a car and must not have arrived so early.
It's more difficult to wait in the new pavilion, so it's best to walk slowly and enjoy the scenery along the way."
Chen Caozhi thought of the dream last night and was a little worried about whether Lu Weirui was sick. Thinking about this, he felt a little anxious, but he still controlled his emotions and walked slowly.
Ran Sheng called out: "Xiao Langjun——"
Chen Cao said: "Call me brother."
Ran Sheng is still not used to calling Chen Caozhi his brother. He always feels that Chen Caozhi should be one generation older than him, and he should be the same generation as Zongzhi and Runer. However, it is hard to say this. How can anyone ask for a lower level?
Uncle Jing had already returned to Qian Tang with Cao Zhixiao Langjun's letter to the Chen clan leader, and immediately said: "Brother, I can recite the three chapters of "General Garden" on 'Military Power, Expelling Evil and Understanding Human Nature'."
Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "Okay, then you can recite the chapter 'Chasing Evil' to me."
Ran Sheng then recited loudly: "There are five disadvantages of my husband's army and the country: first, forming cliques and connecting with each other, destroying the virtuous; second, extravagant clothes and different crowns and belts; third, empty boasting of witchcraft and false talk about the divine way; fourth,
It is said to be dedicated to observing right and wrong, and to move the public privately; the fifth is to wait for gains and losses, and to make enemies secretly. This so-called treacherous and immoral person can be far away and inaccessible - but Xiaolangjun, I only half understand these things.
"
Chen Cao said: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand it now, just remember it firmly. As your experience deepens, you will be happy to respond to this chapter of 'Chasing Evil'. Now your main thing is to learn more from other generals in the military mansion."
To learn infantry tactics and practice martial arts requires not only courage, but also strategy."
Ran Sheng asked: "Brother, can I lead the army to attack Yan in the future? I want to kill Murong Ke and Murong Chui to avenge my parents and brothers."
Chen Cao said in his heart: "Murong Ke and Murong Chui are two great heroes of the Yan Kingdom. It is difficult to avenge Xiao Sheng." He said: "Don't think too much first. Study hard and practice hard. The right way is to stand out in the army. Understand.
?"
Ran Sheng thought about Chen Caozhi studying hard in the past few years, and thought to himself: "I want to work as hard as Mr. Xiao Lang." He replied: "Yes."
The two chatted as they hurried on, and arrived at Xinting at about midnight. At this time, the morning sun was rising, the valley was fresh and deserted, and only the birds were chirping happily.
Chen Cao's horse was under the chrysanthemum stage, and he and Ran Sheng climbed up to the mid-level pavilion. It was raining continuously for days, and the river not far away was rushing with great sounds. The chrysanthemum stage was blooming with blue chrysanthemums and helichrysums. These chrysanthemums bloom in summer. Their colors are vermilion and pink.
White, snow-white, indigo, deep purple, bright and dazzling, this chrysanthemum terrace has flowers all year round, making it a good place to enjoy the mountains and rivers.
Chen Caozhi was sitting on the pavilion halfway up the mountain, while Ran Sheng stood on the chrysanthemum terrace and looked in the direction of Jiankang. About a moment later, Ran Sheng called out: "Little Master, someone is coming over there, and there is only one person——"
Chen Caozhi was silent for a moment and said, "Let's take a look again. Is it Brother Banli who has a short hoe?" When Lu Weirui came out to see him, he usually sent Banli to explore the way first.
Ran Sheng looked carefully and said happily: "Young Master is really good at predicting things. It is indeed a chestnut." He stood on the chrysanthemum platform and shouted loudly.
Chen Caozhi suddenly felt relieved. He was worried that Lu Weirui would really get sick as in his dream, and he was also worried that Lu Weirui would be strictly prohibited from leaving the Lu Mansion by his second uncle Lu Shi——
Banli, who was three miles away, was also walking and looking ahead. When he saw someone waving his arms on Xinting Mountain in the distance, he immediately quickened his pace and walked closer. He recognized that the tall man was Ran Sheng, and the man next to Ran Sheng was.
The young man wearing a moon-white summer shirt, like a jade tree in the wind, is naturally Chen Caozhi.
Banli was overjoyed and stopped walking forward. He waved vigorously to indicate that Miss Lu was behind and that he was going to rush back to report the news. After signaling, he turned around and trotted back along the road.
Chen Caozhi on the chrysanthemum stage smiled and said: "Xiao Sheng, let's catch up with Banli."
The two of them quickly descended the mountain, unbridled their horses, galloped with all their strength, and soon caught up with Banli.
Banli heard the sound of horse hooves behind him and stopped by the roadside. He smiled brightly and said loudly: "Chen Langjun, my little lady is coming soon. She is about three miles away. My little lady came earlier. I didn't expect Chen Langjun to be earlier."
Although Jiankang is only more than ten miles away from Xinting, Lu Weirui was traveling by car, and the Lu girls were traveling in groups of servants, so it was inevitable that they would be delayed. It was only a quarter past two o'clock, and Lu Weirui was already almost at Xinting.
, we know that she will be ready to leave at dawn——
"Thank you for your hard work, Banli. I'm going to greet Miss Lu." Chen Caozhi rode his horse forward. After a while, he galloped three miles north and saw the Lu family's chariots and servants approaching from afar.
Lu Weirui took a light single-column carriage today. The carriage was faster than the ox-cart. When she left the city, Lu Weirui ordered Banli to go first. She was thinking that Chen Langjun might not have arrived so early. It had rained two days ago, but it didn't matter.
She could enjoy the scenery while waiting for Chen Langjun to arrive. Although she thought so, she still frequently poked her head out of the car window and looked at the road ahead. When she saw two riders approaching at a fast pace in the distance, her heart was lifted and she stared at it.
It's really like Chen Langjun. Although you can't see clearly, you only need an outline, a little shadow, and a clear cough to know that the beloved you miss day and night is him.
Lu Weirui shouted: "Stop the car -", her voice trembled with joy. She got out of the car first, holding her skirt and ran forward, and she ran to follow her.
.
Chen Caozhi tightened the reins in a hurry, and the horse "Purple Lightning" leaped into the air with its front hooves, making a long neigh, and stopped. Chen Caozhi quickly got off the horse and strode up to meet him. His face was crimson and his eyes were filled with tears of joy.
Lu Weirui ran over gracefully, holding the hem of her skirt. Not caring that a group of Lu's maidservants were following behind her, she stepped forward and picked up Lu Weirui, and spun her around half a circle in the air. She heard this pure and beautiful girl exclaim, and then lightly
Put it gently on the ground, hold your hands and look at each other.
After not seeing each other for two months, Lu Weirui seemed to have changed and become more beautiful. Her cheeks were as delicate as porcelain and jade, her delicate eyebrows were intact, her eyes were watery, her lips were pursed, and she looked extremely cute. She only called out:
"Chen Langjun——" Half shy and half happy, he raised his eyes and stared at Chen Caozhi with affection.
