On the sixth day of the third lunar month, hundreds of officials gathered at the Taiji Hall in Kangtaicheng. Emperor Sima Yi awarded Chen Caozhi the eight-foot banner, two subordinate spears, and two gate flags, and promoted Chen Caozhi to the seventh rank.
The prince washed his horse, received the imperial edict, sealed letter, and silk gifts, and was ordered to go on an envoy to Qin.
At the end of Chen Shi, officials headed by Langya King Sima Yu sent Chen Caozhi out of the city. The land bird saw Chen Caozhi riding a tall horse with shiny black coat.
It is rare in Jiangzuo. Lu Qin first stared at it, and then turned pale. The horse Chen Caozhi rode was clearly the Western-style horse cherished by his third uncle Lu Na. The year before last in Huating, Lu Qin had asked his third uncle to take this horse.
The horse was given to him, but his third uncle refused and scolded him for not knowing how to make progress and only focusing on luxury. Unexpectedly, his third uncle gave this BMW worth 800,000 yuan to Chen Caozhi. This horse has been kept in Huating.
It must be that the third uncle knew that Chen Caozhi was going to be an envoy to Di Qin, so he quickly ordered people to come from Huatingchang. The third uncle did not appreciate this Chen Caozhi in general, and regarded him as his son-in-law. He was his nephew.
Nothing compares!
Lu Qin was filled with depression. He not only blamed his third uncle Lu Na, but also resented Chen Caozhi. He said in his heart: "Now that Chen Caozhi has left Jiankang, I can make plans for Wei Rui to enter the palace as his concubine. I will meet him in a few days."
Xianglong, Zhu Lingbao and others made some plans to test the emperor's will. Hehe, when Chen Caozhi comes back from his mission, my sixth sister Wei Rui will already be the emperor's favorite concubine. If everything goes well, she should be canonized as the queen. I want to see it.
Look at Chen Caozhi’s devastated look at that time!”
Farewell to Xinting, Chen Shang, Liu Shangzhi, Wang Xianzhi, Kong Wang, who had just returned to Jiankang from Kuaiji, and Yu Xiao's father all came to see Chen Caozhi off. Sima Yu, Jiang Sixuan, Xi Chao, and Gao Song each came to see Chen Caozhi off.
Chen Cao thanked Chen Cao for his words of encouragement.
Xie An ordered a brocade box to be handed over to Chen Caozhi's entourage, saying: "This is a pair of gold wine vessels and a letter. If you have a chance, please give it to Murong Chui on my behalf."
Sima Yu, the king of Langya, heard that Xie An asked Chen Caozhi to give a gift to Murong Chui, and he laughed loudly and said: "Gong An Shi wants to repay the white wolf Qianhu thirty years ago with gold coins!"
Xie An had a reputation as a virtuous person since he was a child. When he was four years old, Huan Wen's father Huan Yi saw him and sighed: "This son is as handsome as Wang Donghai in the future."
He was a clear talker, concise and tolerant in politics, and his reputation was higher than that of Wang Dao and Yu Liang. He was praised as the first famous minister since Yongjia's southern crossing. Huan Yi praised a four-year-old child as a generation of virtuous minister Wang Cheng, which shows his appreciation.
When Xie An was ten years old, his spiritual awareness, smooth demeanor, good deeds, and clear words were praised by the famous scholar Wang Meng. Xie An's reputation as a child prodigy spread to Beiyan. Murong, who was only seven years old at the time
Chui Chui didn't know what his psychology was, so he sent people thousands of miles away to deliver a pair of white wolf eyes to Xie An. The white wolf eyes are the eyes of the white wolf from Liaodong. They were shot by Murong Chui while hunting and sealed with white wax. It is said to have the magical effect of warding off evil spirits.
, perhaps, the seven-year-old Murong Chui has regarded Xie An, who is six years older than him, as his opponent from then on.
Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "If there is a chance, I will definitely give this gift to Murong Chui on behalf of An Shigong." He thought: "In history, it seems that Murong Ke and Murong Chui brothers attacked Luoyang City in the past two years. I am afraid it will not happen this time."
You will encounter Xie An's calligraphy and this pair of gold medals when you are on a mission, which is the origin of your contact with Murong Chui."
Xie Xuan and Zhang Xuanzhi went to Gushuxi Mansion with Chen Caozhi, Gu Kaizhi and Xie Daoyun this time. Lu Weirui originally thought that she would not have a chance to see Chen Caozhi off today, but she was happy that Zhang Tongyun came to Lu Mansion early in the morning and asked Lu Weirui to accompany her.
Farewell to the new pavilion, Lu Na agreed. Lu Weirui and Zhang Tongyun came to the new pavilion first and set up curtains to separate them. After Chen Caozhi and Gu Kaizhi said goodbye to the officials, they ordered their maids to invite Chen and Gu.
Meet each other.
Inside the curtains, there were brocade curtains separated by short hoes and hairpins. When two maids saw Chen Caozhi coming in, they hurriedly bowed their heads and exited so that Lady Wei Rui could have some sweet words with Chen Langjun.
Chen Caozhi stood five or six steps away from Lu Weirui, looking at the dressed-up girl with a smile. She had a high bun, a bow, a red gauze skirt, a mixed train hanging from her moustache, a wide and elegant look, and a calm and gentle expression.
Just like the "Picture of Luo Shen Bin" painted by Gu Kaizhi, the goddess of Luoshui is facing the wind and her clothes are fluttering.
When Lu Weirui saw Chen Caozhi looking at her like this, her pretty face turned red, and she saluted Yingying: "I would like to say goodbye to Mr. Chen. I wish Mr. Chen a safe journey on his long journey, and I hope Mr. Chen will return soon." As he said this, he handed out a newly made incense stick.
The bag was tied around Chen Cao's waist, and his behavior was gentle, shy and charming.
Chen Caozhi held Lu Weirui's hand, kissed the back of her hand, and said, "Weirui, I have a small gift for you. It was carefully made by Ming Laide and has never been seen since ancient times." After that, he took it out of his sleeve.
It is an object that is no longer than a ruler long. It has purple bamboo as the bones and fine silk as the surface. It is spread out to form a semicircular fan. When gathered together, it looks like a jade Ruyi. It is extremely delicately made and there are paintings on the silk surface.
Lu Weirui took this strange fan and unfolded it. What was painted on the fine silk fan was a blooming auspicious snow camellia. Under the camellia stood a pretty girl. Lu Weirui's heart trembled. This was naturally Chen Lang's handwriting.
Although the portrait is small, it has fine outlines and a distinctive expression, showing great care.
Lu Weirui asked happily: "Chen Lang, when was this painted?"
Chen Cao said: "I painted it in Gushe a few days ago. Wei Rui, please turn the fan over and look at it."
Lu Weirui followed the instructions and turned the fan to the back, and saw that it was full of small characters written on the rope. It was the small regular script of Zhong Yao's "Declaration Form" that Chen Caozhi's left hand was good at. The structure was ingenious and the atmosphere was graceful and fresh.
Lu Weirui softly recited the leisure poem written on the fan: "What a graceful and graceful appearance, alone in the world to show off the crowd. It represents the beauty of the city, and it is expected to be virtuous in the rumors. I wear the jade to compare the purity, and the orchid to compete for the fragrance. Light.
Keep your tenderness in the world, and your elegance and ambition in high clouds."
Lu Weirui glanced sideways at Chen Caozhi with her beautiful eyes, feeling ashamed and happy. Chen Lang was praising her for her magnificence and beauty, describing her as a noble jade and a fragrant orchid. Lu Weirui continued to recite:
". May it be a belt on the clothes, to tie up the slim body, to breathe out the warm and cool air, or to take off the old and wear something new; I wish to have it as a belt on the eyebrows, to let it wander when looking at it, to be sad that the fat and powder are still fresh, or to take
Destroyed by the beautiful makeup; I wish to be a shoe on silk, with enough material to move around, I am sad that my actions are restrained, and abandoned in front of the bed; I wish to be a shadow in the day, always following the shape from west to east, I am sad for the many shades of tall trees, and I am full of emotion.
Sometimes it is different; I would like to be a candle at night, illuminating the jade face in the two couplets, and be sad for the soothing light of the hibiscus, and hide the brightness in the dying scene; I would like to be a fan for the bamboo, with sadness soaring in the soft hand, and be sad for the white dew in the morning
”
Lu Weirui raised her eyes, tears streaming down her face, and said, "Mr. Chen." Her heart wandered over and over again, and she couldn't help but forget her words while staring.
Chen Caozhi folded the fan and handed it to Lu Weirui, and said: "Weirui, this is a folding fan that has never been seen before. Laide made two of them, one for you and me. There will be imitators in the future, but now, we are the only ones."
Two handfuls." After saying that, he kissed Lu Weirui's delicate lips gently and whispered: "Weirui, I'm going, please take care of yourself and wait for me to come back."
Lu Weirui hugged Chen Caozhi hard, stood on tiptoes and kissed Chen Caozhi. She couldn't bear to say goodbye, and those who were in ecstasy were just saying goodbye. The poem of peony, the song of the beauty, the green grass of spring, the green waves of spring water, send you to Nanpu,
How hurt!
Lu Weirui stood at the foot of Xinting Mountain, watching Chen Caozhi ride on the famous black-maned horse and go further and further away. He thanked everyone for his hundreds of servants. The mighty carriages and horses were all gone, but he still couldn't bear to embark on the return journey.
He said in his heart: "Chen Lang, I want to wait for you to come back. I am Chen Lang's wife. I will never enter the palace, and I will never seek death. When the funeral of Queen Yu is over, I will try to write to the Queen Mother Chu to invite the Queen Mother.
An imperial edict was issued to grant a marriage. The Empress Dowager Chu had met Chen Lang and I at Waguan Temple. Knowing our affection for Chen Lang, even if the Empress Dowager Chu was inconvenient to grant a marriage due to the opposition of my second uncle, she would definitely not allow the emperor to accept me.
Palace, my father and Aunt Zhang love me and will not force me to enter the palace. I can handle this matter myself, why should I tell Chen Lang and make Chen Lang worry."
Lu Weirui was lost in thought when she suddenly heard someone say: "Ms. Lu is well, and Xiaochan is polite."
Lu Weirui said "Ah" and said quickly: "It's Sister Xiaochan. Didn't Sister Xiaochan go with Chen Langjun?"
Xiao Chan, who had a fair face and apricot face, said sadly: "My young man asked me to stay in Jiankang. He told me that traveling to other countries is equivalent to marching, and I can't take maids with me. I only took Huang Xiaotong with me. In the past few days, I have taken my young man with me."
Tell Huang Xiaotong your daily preferences and habits one by one, I don’t know how much Huang Xiaotong has remembered!"
Lu Weirui feels very kind to Xiaochan, and she heard Ding Youwei say last time that the late Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, once said that Chen Lang would take Xiaochan as his concubine, but Chen Lang has not followed his mother's order so far. This is naturally because
For her sake.
Lu Weirui said: "Sister Xiaochan, don't worry, Mr. Chen will take good care of yourself. Sister Xiaochan was bitten by a vicious dog in the twelfth lunar month last year. Is she okay now?"
Xiaochan said with some joy: "Young Master also told Miss Wei Rui about me. He once said that if you are bitten by a dog, it will take a hundred days to avoid it. Now it has passed a hundred days."
Today, I don’t feel any physical discomfort. The young man examined me carefully a few days ago, so I should be fine.”
Lu Weirui smiled and nodded, and said, "Since Sister Xiaochan is staying in Jiankang, you should come and visit me often." She turned to Zhang Tongyun and said, "A Tong, bring Sister Xiaochan here."
Zhang Tongyun smiled and said: "Okay, I will bring sister Xiaochan with me every time I come to Lu Mansion."
Xiao Chan quickly said: "You two ladies, don't try to offend me, just call me Xiao Chan." After a pause, he said, "My husband now calls me Xiao Chan, the title of sister Xiao Chan."
It was called Xiao Langjun when he was young. At that time, Xiao Langjun was younger than the eldest son of the clan."
For some reason, Xiaochan was a little happy that Chen Caozhi no longer called her Sister Xiaochan.
