The three centuries-old green-calyx plum blossoms at the back of Jizi Hall in Wulong Mountain are five feet high and shade several acres. Those plum blossoms that are single or in clusters of two or two, with green calyx and white petals are covered with new branches. When placed under the flower trees, they look like clouds of flowers.
Light cage, with a subtle fragrance that refreshes the spleen.
Chen Caozhi looked at the incomparably beautiful Lu Weirui, with a hint of doubt in his beautiful big eyes. His delicate Liu Ye eyebrows frowned and then spread, and he said softly: "Chen Langjun, I don't know why, but I have a bad impression of this Mr. Zhu."
Jia, I like all the other friends of Chen Langjun, because they are Chen Langjun’s friends.”
Lu Weirui said it clearly, not only because of her heartfelt love and trust for Chen Caozhi, but also because this pure and beautiful girl has a pure and flawless crystal heart.
Chen Caozhi asked: "Weirui, do you know when I fell in love with you and wanted to marry you?"
Lu Weirui's eyes lit up and she was filled with shame and joy. She shook her head and said, "Mr. Chen said, I want to know."
The short hoe on one side couldn't hold back and said: "Chen Langjun must have fallen in love with my little lady the first time he saw her. My little lady is so beautiful."
Lu Weirui glanced at the short hoe with anger in her eyes.
The short hoe stuck out his tongue and said quickly: "The short hoe will stay over there and don't let anyone come and disturb you." After that, he walked away in the direction of Ji Zidian and disappeared.
Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "The short hoe is right, anyone who sees Miss Lu will like her."
Lu Weirui said shyly: "Chen Langjun, tell me." His words were gentle and stubborn, which made people's hearts flutter.
Chen Caozhi stared into Lu Weirui's eyes and said: "Do you still remember that winter month when you and I went to Zhenqing Taoist Temple to see the camellias for the first time? That precious 'Big Purple Robe' camellia was picked off, and I was in front
, you came closer to look at me and sighed. I accidentally touched your chest when I stepped back. I was so embarrassed at that time. I wanted to explain but felt it was inappropriate. I wanted to pretend that nothing had happened but felt guilty. Wei Rui, at that time you said
Do you remember what happened?"
Lu Weirui's face was full of shyness, her eyes were extremely clear, and her bright eyes and white teeth were not enough to describe the girl's appearance and expression. She whispered: "What did I say? I can't remember."
Chen Cao smiled, took Lu Weirui's hand, and said: "Have you forgotten? Weirui can also be duplicitous. Hey, you were also very shy at the time, but when you saw my slightly embarrassed look, you comforted me and said it doesn't matter.
I didn’t mean it, so I changed the subject and said that we should continue to look at the flowers. There is an auspicious snow plant over there, I wonder if someone will pick it off?"
At this point, Chen Caozhi paused and continued: "At that time, I thought, this woman really doesn't have any scum in her heart. Bing Xin Wanying makes me admire her very much. If I can get such a woman as my wife, wouldn't it be Sansheng?"
Fortunately."
Lu Weirui's eyes were bright and she said in a low voice: "That time when I came to Xu's Thatched Cottage, I saw Chen Langjun copying "Mao Shi Kai Feng" because he missed his mother. Chen Langjun was so attentive. I watched it for a long time and my eyes watered.
I thought Chen Langjun was so kind. Later, my father wanted to negotiate a marriage with Mr. He for me, so I felt unhappy. I wanted to tell you about it for some reason. Or at Zhenqing Taoist Temple, you inserted the golden steps for me.
"Wow, if you ask me to wait for you, you know how happy I am!"
When Lu Weirui said this, there was a kind of beauty like the brilliance of the stars and the moon coming out from under the skin and from the bones. This kind of beauty is not superficial beauty and will not diminish with age.
Chen Caozhi held Lu Weirui's face with both hands, kissed her trembling lips, and said softly: "But I have made you suffer so much."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Weirui's delicate lips came up and kissed Chen Caozhi hard. After a while, they separated. Lu Weirui's eyes were filled with light, and she gasped slightly: "Don't talk about that. Weirui is very happy now. Who can do it except Chen Langjun?"
It doesn't matter if Wei Rui can be like this. In order to be with Chen Langjun, it doesn't matter. No one is forcing me now. I just have to wait for Chen Langjun." After that, he leaned in gently.
In Chen Cao's arms.
When the morning sun shines over, the plum blossoms with white petals and green stamens are dyed with a faint crimson color, like Lu Weirui's white and rosy cheeks. This girl's body is trembling delicately, as if overwhelmed with emotion.
Two people hug each other quietly, feeling the sweetness of love. Bitter love is like wine, the longer it gets, the harder it becomes and the more mellow it becomes.
Birds were chirping and the mountains and forests were quiet. After a while, Chen Caozhi said, "Well, Wei Rui, let's talk about Zhu Yingtai now."
Lu Weirui raised her head, looked at Chen Caozhi, and smiled sweetly: "You don't have to talk about others behind their backs. I'm not a meddlesome person. I'm just a little strange and don't want to ask anything. I know Mr. Zhu is your good friend." Lu Weirui
The little doubts that she had originally melted like ice flowers in Chen Caozhi's gentle embrace. She didn't want to ask any more questions. She just told her feelings about Zhu Yingtai.
Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "Then we'll talk about it next time when we have the chance. I always have to say it. Let's go down the mountain?" He and Lu Weirui walked hand in hand towards Ji Zidian. After walking a few steps, they met Short Hoe. Short Hoe said: "
The young lady, Chen Langjun, and Mr. Gu went down the mountain. They all knew that Chen Langjun and the young lady were together, so they left first. Madam Tongyun is still waiting in the back hall."
Lu Weirui felt a little shy when she heard that everyone else knew about it.
Chen Cao said: "That's just right. I can go down the mountain with Wei Rui."
Lu Weirui said: "There is also A Tong."
Short hoe hurriedly said: "I'll go tell Mrs. Zhang." Without waiting for Lu Weirui's instructions, he trotted away and came back after a while. He said happily: "Ms. Tongyun said she would wait for Mrs. Zhang at the foot of the mountain."
Lu Weirui and Chen Caozhi looked at each other and smiled. They returned to the front of Jizi Hall and saw Brother Banli, who only had a short hoe, waiting there. The others went down the mountain.
Lu Weirui said: "Chen Langjun, let's go down the mountain now, we still have to hurry."
Chen Cao said: "Let's go to Jizi Temple to pay homage. The two of us will worship together to make up for the regret we had at Qu'a Jizi Temple last year."
Last year, in order to meet Lu Weirui, Chen Caozhi chased him from Jiankang to Qu'a. While taking shelter from the rain at the Jizi Temple in Yanling, he got the Confucius handwritten Jizi inscription that Lu Weirui had personally touched in the temple the day before. He was deeply impressed by the mystery of it.
Today, the two of them can worship together in front of the statue of Ji Zi.
When going down the mountain, the brothers Chestnut and Short Hoe were in front, and Chen Caozhi and Lu Weirui were behind hand in hand. They walked briskly down the hundreds of climbing stone steps and saw large tracts of plum groves from the foot of the mountain to halfway up the mountain.
Lu Weirui said: "Chen Langjun, that year you talked about the four virtues of plum blossoms in Meiling, Huating, Yuan Henry Zhen, last year Aunt Zhang also mentioned it to my father, and admired it very much. Aunt Zhang often said good things for us."
Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "I will go to Gushu first this time, and will come to Jiankang to attend Xie Youdu's wedding around the beginning of March. Wei Rui first said hello to Aunt Zhang and Lu Shijun for me, and I will write a letter at night
You take the letter with you. When I come to Jiankang in March, I will visit your father and discuss important matters."
Lu Weirui said "hmm" and said, "I hope Aunt Zhang will give birth to a son for my father."
Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "Even a daughter is very good. If you want a son, you can have another child."
Lu Weirui chuckled, remembering something, and her face turned red again.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Zhang Tongyun was waiting in the bullock cart and asked Lu Weirui to ride with her. Ran Sheng and Shen Chiqian were also waiting aside, riding back to the manor with Chen Caozhi first.
At this time, Gu Kaizhi and others had returned to the manor and were preparing to eat soup cakes and go on the road. Xie Xuan said to his sister Xie Daoyun: "Brother, Zizhong hasn't come down from the mountain yet, and he can't go on his way for a while. I have something to say to my brother."
Xie Daoyun glanced at his brother Xie Xuan and said calmly: "What do you want to say? If it is about my marriage, then there is no need to say more. I am determined that none of my uncles can take away my ambition, so why do you have to say more!"
"
Xie Xuan lowered his voice and said, "You are my biological sister. No matter what, you have to let me speak."
Xie Daoyun smiled: "You said it." He put his hands behind his hands and walked to the creek behind the house.
Xie Xuan followed his sister Xie Daoyun. Seeing that there was no one else nearby, he asked, "Did you just happen upon Zizhong having a private meeting with the girl from the Lu family?"
Xie Daoyun raised his heroic slender eyebrows and said, "I saw it, what's wrong?"
Xie Xuan hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously: "Sister, would you rather not be jealous?"
Xie Daoyun narrowed his slender eyes and raised his eyes. Xie Xuan secretly said that something was not right. His sister wanted to lecture him. He couldn't escape at this time, so he had to wait patiently. He only heard his sister say calmly: "Ah Ke
, Rudang, why are you waiting for someone? Is she a flattering and jealous woman? Zizhong and I have an open friendship, and I won’t hide it. If Zizhong doesn’t have a girl from the Lu family, then I might think of growing old with her.
But Zizhong already has a girl from the Lu family, so it is enough for me to stick to this friendship."
Xie Xuan interjected: "But Zizhong cannot marry a girl from the Lu family. There is a family gap between them. Moreover, Lu Shi's father and son have a deep hatred for Zizhong, and there is no possibility of reconciliation."
Xie Daoyun interrupted Xie Xuan and said: "Whether he can marry a girl from the Lu family is Chen Caozhi's business. If Chen Caozhi retreats in fear of difficulties and turns to him, what else is there for such a man that I, Xie Daoyun, can be worthy of my friendship with?"
Xie Xuan had nothing to say. My sister had finished speaking. There was no room for change at all. He knew my sister's temperament. Since my sister said this, Chen Caozhi and her sister were really not destined to marry each other. Chen Caozhi could not marry her.
Even Lu's daughter can't marry her sister. Could it be that all three of them will be depressed for the rest of their lives?
Xie Daoyunxun said to his younger brother: "These days I see that you seem to have hidden worries, but it turns out that you are caring about this matter. You are a man, responsible for your family and country. You don't want to make progress, but you want to see others betray their hearts. Are you still a descendant of my Xie family?"
Xie Xuan was trained so hard that he couldn't lift his head. After a while, he stood up straight, but with tears in his eyes, he called out: "Sister."
Xie Daoyun was stunned, and suddenly felt the affection of his brother's flesh and blood. His eyes were dim, his voice was low, and he said: "Ah, I understand, and you understand too."
Xie Xuan looked at his sister Xie Daoyun, the tearful look was heartbreaking, and said in his heart: "I don't understand, no one can understand my sister's heart."
