Nineteen, forget each other in the rivers and lakes
Nineteen, forget each other in the world
On the tenth day of the fifth lunar month, Xie Daoyun led more than 20 officials and servants from Jiankang to Kuaiji. Xie Wanming's eldest son, Xie Lang, went with Xie Daoyun to Kuaiji for training. Xie Lang is sixteen years old this year and will be an official in two years.
.
In September last year, Xie Daoyun went to Kuaiji with Chen Cao as the deputy envoy of Tu Duan. He took the route of first going to Wu County and then to Qiantang, which took a lot of detours. That was because Chen Cao was going to Huating to meet Lu Weirui under the guise of public benefit.
Xie Daoyun and his party could save hundreds of miles by traveling from the south bank of Taihu Lake to Qiantang via Wuxing County.
Along the way, Xie Daoyun often recalled the scene of her long journey with Chen Caozhi last year. She always smiled and was lost in thought. The farther away she was, the more painful the lovesickness became. She couldn't lie to herself. How could there ever be such a lingering friendship in the world? The so-called lifelong friendship is only
It's just my own excuse. It's because I can't get it as a couple, and I just want to meet Zizhong as a friend——
The road was rough and the carriage was bumpy. Xie Daoyun started coughing again. Liu Xu, the maid who was in the same car, quickly gave her mulberry apricot soup to soothe her throat. Xie Daoyun found the recipe for this mulberry apricot soup from a medical book.
Decoction this mulberry apricot soup every day and take it regularly. It does have the effect of clearing away heat and moisturizing the lungs, but the cough can never be cut off——
Liuxu gently stroked Xie Daoyun's back and said: "It would be great if Chen Langjun was in Jiangdong. Please ask Chen Langjun to diagnose and treat my wife. Although Chen Langjun does not practice medicine, his medical skills are really good. Mrs. Xiao Lu Shangshu has never given birth.
, were all cured by Chen Langjun. Chen Langjun also treated the illness of Princess Xin'an, the daughter of King Langya, and the disease was cured with ease. However, no one can afford to ask Chen Langjun to treat the illness, but the lady is different -
—”
"Chen Zizhong is a good doctor again!" Xie Daoyun smiled and said: "What kind of illness do I have? By the time Chen Zizhong comes back, I will have already recovered."
Kang, I just hope that the drought will have eased by then and I can return the capital as soon as possible."
There are no urgent expectations, only misty joy, there is someone who is willing to wait for a lifetime, and is willing to see each other every day without getting tired of it——
…
There was a severe drought in Sanwu. The further south we went, the more severe the drought became. The water level of Taihu Lake dropped sharply at 800 miles away. It was very different from the vast scene we saw last year. Although it was not a huge change in the world, it still made people sigh.
There was no delay along the way, and the group arrived in Qiantang on the 26th of that month. They had to pay a visit to Qiantang County Magistrate Feng Mengxiong, and then planned to cross the river to Chenjiawu tomorrow to pay a visit to Chen Xian and Ding Youwei, the chiefs of the Chen clan, as well as Zong Zhihe.
Run'er, unexpectedly, this day coincides with the 100th anniversary celebration of the son of Xu Miao and Feng Lingbo. When Xie Daoyun and Chen Caozhi went to Jiankang at the beginning of the year, Feng Lingbo had not yet given birth. Xu Zao, Xu Miao and his son had been waiting in Qiantang. Feng Lingbo came to Jiankang on February 10th.
A son was born on the 6th. Xu Miao left for Jingzhou a month after his son was born. Dr. Xu Zao also returned to Wujun to teach. The day before yesterday, Dr. Xu came from Wujun specially to celebrate his grandson——
Feng Mengxiong and Chen Caozhi's late father Chen Su were old friends, Feng Lingbo was Chen Caozhi's adopted sister, and Chen Caozhi and Xu Miao were close friends, so Chen Xian, the old patriarch of the Chen family in Qiantang, personally prepared a gift to congratulate Ding Youwei.
He also brought Run'er here. Everyone was very happy to see Xie Daoyun. They all asked Xie Daoyun for news about Chen Cao. At the end of March, a private soldier of the Chen family who followed Chen Caozhi to Jiankang returned to Chenjiawu and submitted a report.
Chen Caozhi wrote a letter to the clan leaders Chen Xian and Ding Youwei. Only then did the Chen clan know that Chen Caozhi had gone on a mission to Qin. People in Jiangdong thought that the Central Plains was still like a stone tiger. Ran Minshi's killings and chaos were inevitable.
Ding Youwei was still worried about Chen Caozhi. When he learned that Xie Daoyun was coming, he hurriedly asked Run'er to inquire. Ding Youwei knew Xie Daoyun's true identity——
Runer is eleven years old, her face still has baby fat, Yuxue is cute, her two big eyes like dotted paint are full of energy, her stature has grown like a small tree, and she will be a slim and beautiful girl in three years.
, her temperament is just like her mother's when she is quiet, but she is much more lively. She said to Xie Daoyun: "Mr. Zhu, please tell me about my ugly uncle. Run'er and mother are very worried!"
Xie Daoyun then told Chen Caozhi about his mission, until he parted with Chen Caozhi at the foot of Bagong Mountain in Shouzhou——
Run'er opened her beautiful eyes wide and asked: "I heard that the barbarians in the north wear their hair and drink blood. Will it be dangerous if Uncle Chou goes there?"
Xie Daoyun smiled and said: "Isn't it Chen Zisheng who is protecting you? How could your ugly uncle be in danger?"
Run'er thought about it. Xiao Sheng was eight feet tall and strong. With him protecting Uncle Chou, nothing would happen to him.
Xie Daoyun didn't see Chen Zongzhi, so he asked Run'er and found out that Zongzhi had gone to Wujun thatched cottage to study. Zongzhi was thirteen years old and had become a handsome and handsome young man.
Ding Youwei listened to Xie Daoyun's words through the bamboo curtain. Hearing Xie Daoyun cough once or twice from time to time, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. Back then, Qingzhi also coughed often and eventually passed away——
Ding Youwei gently lifted a corner of the bamboo curtain and saw that Xie Daoyun's face had lost some weight, but Xie Daoyun had always been thin, so it didn't look obvious.
Because they were in Feng Mansion, Ding Youwei couldn't talk to Xie Daoyun directly. Run'er talked enthusiastically with Xie Daoyun and didn't come in to reply. Ding Youwei asked Axiu to come out and ask Xie Daoyun if he was okay. If he had mental fatigue, irritability and insomnia, he should immediately postpone medical treatment.
No delay——
Xie Daoyun didn't feel any other discomfort except for a few coughs. She just had some insomnia since Chen Caozhi left. Of course, she was embarrassed to tell Ding Youwei about this. She thanked Ding Youwei immediately and said that she just had a cold occasionally and had already taken medicine.
Thank you, Sister-in-law Ding, for your concern.
Qiantang County Magistrate Feng Mengxiong, Chen clan chief Chen Xian, Ding clan chief Ding Yi and Xie Daoyun talked about the drought in Sanwu. They all frowned and lamented that this natural disaster has not happened in a century. Even counties like Qiantang, which are rarely troubled by drought, frowned.
They were also affected by the disaster. Ding's Manor was the hardest hit. The Xiaohang River that flows through Ding's Manor was cut off the day before yesterday. The two hundred hectares of fertile land in Ding's Manor were reduced by at least half. Because Chenjiawu is close to Mingsheng Lake, tenant farmers were organized every day.
With thirty water trucks to collect water, we can barely survive this summer——
Due to the serious drought, Xie Daoyun did not dare to delay any longer. Since he had already met Chen Xian, Ding Youwei and others, he stopped going to Chenjiawu and said goodbye to Feng Mengxiong, Dr. Xu, Patriarch Chen, and Ding Youwei's mother and daughter early the next morning.
Going to Shanyin in Kuaiji, when I crossed the Qiantang River, I saw that the originally mighty river was now just like a small river. The riverbed on both sides of the river was exposed, the river rocks were rolling, the river mud was cracked, the maple trees on the riverside were half withered, their branches and leaves were withered, and in the sky,
The red sun is scorching, and it is the hottest season of the year.
Xie Daoyun got out of the car and walked slowly along the river bank. He could see fish flapping in the mud on the river bed. The water in the Qiantang River dried up very quickly. These fish were trapped before they could swim to the middle of the river -
Xie Daoyun tiptoed down the river bank and saw a small crucian carp bubbling in a small depression with its gills bulging. The water in the depression was about to dry up. The small fish was flopping hard. Xie Daoyun shook his head, picked up the small fish and threw it not far away.
In the water, the cowardly fish whirled in the water and disappeared without a trace. Xie Daoyun said to himself: "It is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes than to stay together - it is also difficult to find the rivers and lakes."
"I suddenly thought: "Zizhong must be in Chang'an at this time. What is he doing?"
…
Today is the twenty-seventh of May. Chen Caozhi, four thousand miles away, is waiting for the audience of King Fu Jian of Qin. It is a hot summer afternoon, but the city of Chang'an does not feel the heat. The Jianzhang Palace is tall and majestic, and the cool breeze blows.
, the heat has completely disappeared——
Chen Caozhi stood under the eaves, looking at the sunlight and shadows, his heart racing a thousand miles away, thinking about his hometown Qiantang, wondering if the drought that had lasted for several months would be alleviated? Thinking about his sister-in-law and a pair of nieces and nephews, but not knowing.
How is Lu Weirui? Lu Shi, did Lu Qin, a virtuous father and son, not intimidate her? Also, is Brother Yingtai okay?
At this time, the eunuch Zhao Zheng came out and invited Chen Caozhi to enter the palace. Chen Caozhi respected Zhao Zheng more. Although he was an eunuch, he did not have the bad habits of an eunuch. He was neither greedy nor sycophantic, and was loyal and upright. According to historical records, Murong Chui
After he surrendered to the Qin Dynasty, his wife Xiao Duan was favored by Fu Jian. Fu Jian once went to the park with Xiao Duan in the car. Zhao Zhengzhi admonished Fu Jian, who was ashamed and ordered Xiao Duan to get off the car and return home. After that, Fu Jian did not favor Murong Chui again.
The lady is unknown and has not been recorded in the annals of history. Fu Jian is a typical benevolent woman, who succeeds more than fails. When Murong Chui came to surrender, he was overjoyed. Wang Meng thought that Murong Chui was a tyrant and could not be tamed, so he suggested Fu Jian.
Jian killed Murong Chui, but Fu Jian insisted on benevolence and righteousness and refused to kill him. He still entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, but he secretly favored the younger Duan family. How could Murong Chui not be angry?
Fu Jian was reviewing the memorial in Jianzhang Palace. His younger brother Fu Rong, Duke of Yangping, and Shangshu servant She Qiu Teng were present. When he saw Chen Caozhi, Fu Jian asked with a smile: "Didn't Ambassador Chen go to Ganlu Palace today to give lectures to my mother?"
"Fu Jian had eyes and ears in Ganlu Palace and knew that Chen Caozhi was going to the palace the next day to give lectures to his mother, Queen Mother Gou. Fu Jian was surprised that his mother had no objection to such a handsome man like Chen Caozhi and just concentrated on studying Buddhism.
So although Fu Jian was relieved that he would not have another adoptive father, he was still a little strange——
Chen Caozhi pretended to be angry and said: "The foreign minister is not a monk, but a dignified envoy. Your Majesty treats me as a wandering monk!"
Fu Jian was surprised and said: "Why did Chen Envoy say this? I respect Envoy Chen very much, and my mother also respects Envoy Chen very much."
Chen Cao said: "The foreign minister came here on the order of the emperor. It is for the sake of friendship between the two countries. I will exchange our excellent weapons from Jiangdong for horses with your country. This is a matter of mutual benefit. The foreign minister has been in Chang'an for more than half a month, but Wang Shangshu has been late.
I wonder why you have delayed holding peace talks with foreign ministers?"
Fu Jian said: "Wang Shangshu has been doing his best to fight the locust plague recently, and Ambassador Chen also knows it."
Chen Cao said: "Of course Wang Shangshu is in charge of everything, but besides Wang Shangshu, doesn't your country have someone who can negotiate peace with foreign ministers?"
Fu Jian smiled generously and said: "Forget it, let Shechou Teng, the servant of the minister, temporarily negotiate with the envoy Chen on behalf of the king's minister."
Qiu Teng on the side said quickly: "Your Majesty Qiu Teng accepts the order."
It was obvious that Fu Jian was deceitful by agreeing so readily. He should have dragged his feet and made the peace talks protracted. Then he spread the news that Chen Caozhi had become an official in Chang'an, forcing Chen Caozhi to find it difficult to return home and run away from the country.
Chen Caozhi must reach an agreement with Di Qin as soon as possible and leave Chang'an. It seems that he has to start with Queen Mother Gou to save the country in a roundabout way. This is what is called.
