Mrs. Xie Liu Dan looked at Xie Daoyun lovingly. Liu Dan and Xie An had three sons, but no daughter. They regarded Daoyun as their own. A few days ago, they thought that Xie Daoyun would die from his illness. Mrs. Xie Liu Dan cried bitterly behind his back several times. Fortunately, Chen Cao
After his return, he was rejuvenated by his wonderful skills, and his treatment improved greatly. Mrs. Xie Liu Dan felt very relieved and vowed to help her niece marry Chen Caozhi——
Mrs. Xie Liu Dan said to Xie Daoyun: "What do you think I am anxious about? Isn't it because I am anxious about your marriage? That monster Lu Song rebelled, but Lu Shi was abandoned as a commoner. Doesn't this mean that God wants to help Chen Cao with his marriage?"
Do you think my aunt can take it easy on Lu's daughter's marriage?"
Xie Daoyun understood what his third aunt Liu Dan meant. The biggest obstacle between Chen Caozhi and Lu Weirui was that Lu Shi was deposed as a commoner, so he naturally lost his authority in the family. If Lu accepted the decision, he would naturally betroth Lu Weirui to Chen Caozhi.
, should be able to get engaged soon——
Xie Daoyun bowed his head and was speechless, and said for a long time: "Chen Zizhong and Lu Weirui are a good match. They have been in love for many years and finally got married. I am also happy to see it happen."
Mrs. Xie Liu Dan said: "You are honest and upright, neither resentful nor jealous. If you can't marry Chen Caozhi, then who should you marry?"
Xie Daoyun lowered his head and said: "My niece is unfilial, and my niece will not marry anyone."
Mrs. Xie Liu Dan sighed loudly: "My aunt has told you a long time ago that if you are less than 100 years old, if you like it, you have to fight for it." You don't want to win in everything, but you look indifferent to the most important life events. I
Seeing that you are not indifferent, but timid, I just ask you, do you love Chen Cao? Don't coax me into saying that you just appreciate him and don't like him. I don't believe it, so don't hesitate to me, let alone
You quote me scriptures and you just nod or shake your head - do you love Chen Cao?"
Mrs. Xie Liu Dan was straightforward and quick-spoken, and she knew her niece was cunning and eloquent, so she simply didn't give her a chance to speak.
Next to Mrs. Xie Liu Dan was a personal maid, Liu Xu, and Yin Feng. The second maid was also kneeling beside the screen in the study room. At this time, several people were paying attention to Madam Dao Yun——
Xie Daoyun pursed her lips tightly, her face was so red that it was bleeding, and she didn't dare to move her head. She looked at the maids -
Mrs. Xie Liu Dan secretly laughed in her heart and asked the three maids to leave, and then said: "Should we drive your third uncle out as well? Alas, it is really difficult for you to admit that you like a man. I don't have it now."
If you are someone else, don't be shy, just nod your head, do you like Chen Caozhi?"
Xie Daoyun blushed again and again, and finally nodded. If before she fell ill, her feelings for Chen Caozhi had been restrained within the scope of friendship. Then since Chen Caozhi returned, she has personally diagnosed and treated her, asked her for her welfare, and returned her love.
Rubbing her back to relieve the cough made her feel dizzy with embarrassment. She used to say that she would be satisfied if she could see Chen Caozhi once in a while, but now she wants to see Chen Caozhi every day. Every time she sees Chen Caozhi walking into the Rose Garden,
She felt her heartbeat speeding up, and she was no longer as graceful and calm as before, so she nodded——
Mrs. Xie Liu Dan was very proud when she saw that her niece was finally willing to admit that she liked Chen Caozhi. She looked at each other with her husband Xie An, and Xie An nodded to her to express his admiration.
Mrs. Xie Liu Dan asked: "Yuanzi, since you like Chen Caozhi, why don't you want to marry him?"
Xie Daoyun said sadly: "Third aunt, do you still need to ask? Chen Zizhong is going to marry Lu Weirui. Although my niece likes Chen Zizhong, she has never thought about asking Lu Weirui to fight for her. My niece is not that kind of person——"
Mrs. Xie Liu Dan hit the nail on the head and said: "It's not that you don't want to fight for it, you are afraid that Chen Caozhi will look down on you because of this. You are both arrogant and timid."
"Third aunt!" Xie Daoyun almost cried when Liu Dan said it.
Mrs. Xie Liu Dan said quickly: "Okay, don't tell me, of course my Yuanzi is not that kind of person, so let me ask you, what do you think of Chen Caozhi's treatment of you? Does he like you?"
Xie Daoyun said shyly and angrily: "Third aunt, what on earth do you want to ask? How embarrassing this is for my niece!" As he said that, he coughed hard, half real cough, half fake cough, trying to avoid talking about it.
Mrs. Xie Liu Dan smiled and said: "It's very important. It's very important. You must answer. Otherwise, you can just nod."
Xie Daoyun stopped taking this trick and said, "That is Chen Zizhong's concern, how do I know?"
Mrs. Xie Liu Dan said: "Your third uncle invited Chen Caozhi to come here today. He should be here soon. My aunt will ask for you if he likes you?"
Xie Daoyun was anxious, straightened his waist and said: "Third aunt, you must not do it. Chen Zizhong is already talking about marriage with Lu Weirui. If you ask him about this kind of thing at this time, wouldn't it make people look down on you?" The voice turned lower, "And
Even if I ask, what can I do?" After saying this, he sighed quietly, and disappeared like the gentle sound of a flute.
Mrs. Xie Liu Dan smiled and cupped her hands towards Xie An who was sitting aside: "Mr. An Shi, I have fulfilled my mission. Now it's your turn."
Xie Daoyun raised his head in astonishment, looked at his third uncle Xie An, and then at his third aunt Liu Dan. How come these two elders seemed to have joined forces to plot against her!
Xie An shook his palm fan and said: "A Yuan, my uncle has a saying. Marriage is a major event and a good couple is rare. Chen Caozhi and you are in love. Wouldn't it be a good thing if you stay with him for the rest of your life? Wait for Cao to come here later. From
My uncle tested him. If he is interested in you, my uncle will make the decision for you and betroth her to her. How about that?"
Xie Daoyun was extremely anxious when he saw his third uncle saying the same thing: "Third uncle, you must not embarrass your niece, and don't embarrass your son."
Xie An calmly said: "How can I, the girl of the Xie family in Chenjun, be forced to marry because of my power? My uncle will not make it difficult for you, let alone Chen Caozhi. Chen Caozhi has two beauties, and
What's the trouble!"
"Ah!" Xie Daoyun suddenly heard his uncle's words, and his narrow eyes widened. How could this be possible? How could Chen Caozhi marry both her and Lu Weirui at the same time? Ehuang and Nvying were just legends, and Shun
He is an emperor. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, Zhou rites have been very popular. No matter whether a scholar is high or low, he can only have one wife, and he can take any concubine. Of course, Lu Weirui cannot be a concubine, and she, the girl from the Xie family in Chen County, has no reason to be a concubine.
, Third uncle definitely understands this, why do you still say this?
Xie An said: "My uncle will arrange this for you. It will not only make you feel guilty about Lu Weirui, but also make you realize your wish. Moreover, this will be more beneficial to Chen Caozhi. Helping Chen Caozhi is not what A Yuan is doing."
What you hope for?"
Xie Daoyun didn't know how her third uncle could do this. His wisdom was beyond her reach.
At this time, the maid Liu Xu came to report that Chen Langjun and Yuandu Langjun had arrived.
Mrs. Xie Liu Dan smiled at Xie Daoyun and said: "Look at what a coincidence. We have just made plans here and Chen Langjun has arrived. Isn't it God's will?"
Xie Daoyun quickly stood up and said shyly: "Then niece, please stay away for a while." After that, he walked into the next room.
Chen Caozhi followed Xie Yan into Xie Daoyun's study, met Xie An, and heard Xie Yan salute the dignified woman with a big face and thick eyebrows sitting aside, calling her mother. Chen Caozhi had met Xie An in Waguan Temple last year.
Mrs. An also hurriedly saluted.
Xie An first asked Chen Caozhi about Xie Yan's visit to the emperor. When he heard that Huan Wen was upset by the emperor Sima Yu's words "Someone is here", he couldn't help laughing and said: "The emperor is also capable. After all, he is a good talker, and Duke Huan can't defeat him."
."
Speaking of Xie Xuan, Chen Cao said: "Youngdu has made great achievements in pacifying Shu, so he must be promoted. When can he return to Jiankang?" It was strange to see that there were many books and letters on the desk, and they were quite old.
.
Xie An said: "Ah Ke said in the letter that he will send Sima Xun and his gang members to their aunt in early next month, and will also return to Jiankang to visit the bride. Also, Ah Ke has been engaged to Huan Youjun's daughter and will get married at a chosen date."
Chen Caozhi said happily: "Congratulations to Youdu. I haven't seen him for more than half a year. I will leave for Qiantang around the middle of next month. I should be able to meet Youdu."
Xie Yan also saw the old books and calligraphy on the desk, and asked Xie An: "Sir, where is this calligraphy?"
Xie An said: "These are the letters written by Uncle Ru and the generals of Yuzhou that A Yuan found after digging through the boxes. These are the records of the two Huaizhous. A Yuan is searching for them and sorting them out for reference." He picked up the case.
He handed the stack of Guanzhong rattan corner paper to Xie Yan.
When Xie Yan heard what his father said, he immediately understood. He took over and took a few glances, then passed it on to Chen Cao: "Brother Zizhong, this is the most useful to you."
This Guanzhong rattan corner paper was given to Xie Daoyun by Chen Caozhi. Xie Daoyun had written more than ten pieces of paper in his clear and smooth running script, which not only introduced the generals of Yuzhou, but also the people in the Central Plains who wanted to avoid the war in the south.
The records of those who moved to the Jianghuai River are particularly familiar with the records of those refugee commanders and the clan clans of large clans——
Chen Caozhi understood after reading half a piece of paper that Xie Daoyun collected these materials for him. At that time, information was scarce. Unlike later generations, there were no libraries or even Baidu. To obtain such useful information, one often had to go to the field in person.
It's just a matter of investigation and inquiry. Xie Daoyun used Chen Jun Xie's years of accumulation to collect these materials for him and sorted them out carefully. Can you not be touched by this kind of kindness?
Chen Caozhi lowered his head and looked at it for a long time to calm down his mood. After a while, he raised his head and forced a smile and said: "Ms. Daoyun is so thoughtful, but she has not recovered from her lung disease. She must not work too hard."
Xie An nodded and said: "This is a disease doctor. You can tell Dao Yun later and she will listen to you."
Chen Caozhi couldn't lift his head. He had never felt so guilty. He had missed Xie Daoyun.
Xie An secretly nodded, motioning for Xie Yan to exit first, and then asked: "Fuck it, let me ask you, if you had not met Miss Lu, would you like my A Yuan?"
Chen Caozhi didn't understand why Xie An asked such a question. Such an assumption was meaningless and seemed not to be the work of a wise man, but he could only answer: "Mrs. Dao Yun is a heavenly person, how can I be worthy of her?"
Mrs. Xie Liu Dan became impatient and said: "Chen Langjun is too unhappy, so what will happen if he just replies that he likes you?"
Chen Cao was very embarrassed.
At this time, the maidservant brought tea to Yinfeng and whispered: "Mr. Chen, my wife is in the next room. You must not make her sad."
Chen Caozhi nodded and said: "I respect and love Mrs. Daoyun, but I already have Wei Rui, so I can only feel ashamed to treat Mrs. Daoyun."
