Sixty-six, a little separation is better than a wedding
Murong Qinchen led a group of guards to the Taihang Mountains early in the morning to hunt, and caught dwarf deer, brown-eared pheasants, and some hares. He returned in the evening and heard that the envoy from Jiangdong had arrived. Chen Caozhi accompanied the angel at the governor's Yamen, and he must not have been able to return to Bingjingtai for dinner.
After that, Murong Qinchen ate alone, took a bath, and then practiced big calligraphy in the study. What she saw was a thick stack of large-character "The Analects of Confucius" specially written for her by Chen Caozhi in the "Zhang Qian Monument" style Han official script.
When he was about to write a poem, he would ask Chen Caozhi if he didn't understand the characters. Chen Cao would explain the meaning of this scripture to her in detail at night -
Chen Caozhi received a letter from Huang Xiaotong years ago and kept it on the desk in his study. Chen Caozhi would read the letter every day and seemed to enjoy it. However, Murong Qinchen did not read a word and did not know what was written in the letter.
What is it? Murong Qinchen is fifteen years old this year. For the first time in his life, he feels that being illiterate is as boring as being too blind. He also sees Chen Caozhi dealing with documents until late at night every day, but she sits aside in a daze. Sometimes Chen Caozhi
Cao Zhi casually asked her to get a certain case file, but she didn't recognize it. Chen Cao smiled. He took Murong Qinchen sitting aside as Xiao Chan who was used to doing things around, and immediately got up to look for him -
So Murong Qinchen decided to learn to read, but Chen Caozhi was busy during the day and only had time to teach her at night. She found it difficult at first. Each character was difficult to read and write, and holding a pen was more difficult than using a bow. However,
Although Murong Qinchen was a charming princess who had been pampered since childhood, she had a tenacity that refused to admit defeat. Chen Caozhi handled government affairs until late at night, while she also read and practiced calligraphy until late at night. Although she could not be called enlightened, now she is also
She has learned "Eight Hundred Third" and knows several hundred words. If Chen Caozhi occasionally praises her, she will be happy for several days -
The moonlight was like water, and the sky was bright. Chen Caozhi and Xie Daoyun came to the Bingjingtai apartment hand in hand. Murong Qinchen heard the sound of carriages and horses in the front yard in the study. He knew that Chen Caozhi was back, but he did not get up to greet her.
Copying the large-character version of "The Analects" - Zi Xia asked: "What does it mean to have a beautiful smile and a beautiful eye?" Confucius said: "Painting is a matter of fact." - Chen Caozhi once taught her that when she was studying,
She had to be deaf to what was going on outside the window, so even though she heard that Chen Caozhi was back and missed him very much after not seeing him for a day, she still had to sit upright and write to show that she was very attentive -
Xie Daoyun followed Chen Caozhi into the courtyard. Seeing the tall and spacious palace, he said: "Mr. Chen, Hebei in the Central Plains has a more majestic atmosphere than Jiangzuo in Huainan. This kind of houses and terraces are extremely magnificent."
Chen Cao said: "These are the palaces built by Shihu in those days. Shihu was extravagant and lustful, and his country would soon be destroyed. This is definitely not a great situation."
Xie Daoyun smiled and said: "Since crossing the river, I have heard the people of Jizhou praising Chen Lang for his kindness and benefiting the people. Many of the policies that disturbed the people when Murong Ping was in power have been abolished, and the people can go about their business. I heard those people praising Chen Lang,
My heart is extremely happy.”
Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "This is all thanks to Murong Ping. His harsh government tortured the people too much. I came to reduce their tax burden and support the poor and orphans, so I have the reputation of virtuous government."
Xie Daoyun chuckled and asked, "Where is Mr. Chen's study?"
Chen Caozhi led Xie Daoyun to the study. The lights in the study were reflected on the steps. Inside, Murong Qinchen was sitting upright, copying the big characters attentively——
Xie Daoyun stood still and looked at the woman under the lamp. This woman had long hair shawl and a snow-white long skirt with left hem. This kind of long skirt is very different from the traditional skirt of Han women. It has a waist, tight fit, narrow sleeves, and is very flattering.
She has a graceful and attractive appearance. She is not sitting on her knees on a banquet, but sitting on a kind of leaning bed with her legs down. This kind of leaning bed is smaller. Xie Daoyun had known that the Hu people in the North did not kneel but sat on the leaning bed.
This is because it is cold in the north, and kneeling on the ground can easily cause cold paralysis——
Xie Daoyun thought: "This must be the Xianbei princess Murong Qinchen!" Before entering Yecheng, she had a grudge against Chen Caozhi for taking the Xianbei princess as his concubine, but when she saw Chen Caozhi, Bu Yue joined hands with her.
Whispering softly, my heart was focused on Chen Caozhi, forgetting that there was such a Xianbei princess. At this time, I saw this foreign girl quietly practicing calligraphy in the study room. Her waist was straight, her chest was high, her sitting posture was very beautiful, and her writing posture was also very beautiful.
Upright, look at his face again, with a straight bridge of nose, sharp outlines and soft lines, long eyelashes covering the eyelids, and the light and shade of the lights, there is a kind of mysterious beauty——
With Xie Daoyun's wisdom and elegance, he couldn't help but feel jealous when facing this beautiful foreign girl. He glanced sideways at Chen Cao and chuckled: "Chen Lang is really good at training a subjugated princess like this."
Well-behaved, are you satisfied now?"
Chen Caozhi was slightly embarrassed and took Xie Daoyun's hand, not knowing how to speak for a moment.
Xie Daoyun looked at Chen Caozhi's appearance, her heart softened, and she whispered: "I know you pity her, I'm not here to make you upset, and I won't use the name of a doctor to suppress her, don't worry."
When he said this, the corners of his lips were raised in a smile.
Chen Caozhi suddenly felt relieved. Murong Qinchen had a fierce temper. Although he was in the position of concubine, he was obviously not used to lowering his eyebrows and looking at people's faces. If Murong Qinchen and Xie Daoyun had a conflict, he would certainly not be able to help his concubine.
Ling's wife; in terms of love, Xie Daoyun was his wife and friend, and they had a deep affection. He could not hurt Xie Daoyun's heart, but Murong Qinchen had been with him for half a year. Needless to say, this Xianbei girl was beautiful, straightforward, and extremely cute.
He never wanted to see Murong Qinchen being wronged, so now that he heard what Xie Daoyun said, he couldn't help but be grateful and happy. Thanks to Daoyun's intelligence, as long as she is willing to get along with Murong Qinchen in a friendly manner, she can naturally handle the relationship well.
, Otherwise, how could she be called the most talented woman in the Eastern Jin Dynasty——
Murong Qinchen knew that Chen Caozhi had arrived at the door and was watching her write. His heart was pounding, expecting Chen Caozhi to approach quietly and flick her lips with his fingers. Once, she
Suddenly she opened her mouth and picked up Chen Caozhi's finger. Chen Cao was startled and she laughed——
Murong Qinchen tried hard to copy carefully, but Chen Caozhi refused to come in. He stood outside the door and whispered to others, and could not hear clearly what was said. Murong Qinchen couldn't hold back his anger and wrote the word "depressingly literary".
Wrong. He pursed his lips, flashed his eyelashes, and looked up at Chen Caozhi outside the door. He was about to get angry, but what he saw was that Chen Caozhi took the hand of a man in green robe next to him and kissed the back of his hand -
—
Murong Qinchen was stunned. Seeing that Chen Caozhi and the frail man had walked in, holding hands, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and angry, and blurted out: "Chen Zizhong, I didn't expect you also have the bad habit of being a masculine person, bah bah bah." Murong Qinchen
Chen knows what it means to be a good man, and he feels very uncomfortable.
Chen Caozhi laughed loudly, and Xie Daoyun couldn't help laughing, pursed her lips and smiled.
Murong Qinchen put down his pen, stood up, stared at Xie Daoyun, and asked Chen Caozhi angrily: "Who is this person? Where-"
Chen Caozhi was afraid that Murong Qinchen would say something unpleasant, so he quickly said: "Qinqin, this is my wife Xie Daoyun, coming from Jiangdong——"
"Ah!" Murong Qinchen was stunned, his green eyes widened in great surprise.
Xie Daoyun looked at Murong Qinchen with a smile. The most beautiful woman in Xianbei really lived up to her reputation. She seemed to be taller than her, and she was well-proportioned and plump. Her green eyebrows, eyes, and plump and delicate lips were all extremely delicate, and that
There is no deliberate charm in the expression of her eyebrows, but she naturally has a charm that can confuse all living beings. She is really a great beauty who brings disaster to the country and the people. No wonder Chen Lang is obsessed with——
Xie Daoyun said: "Are you Murong Qinchen? You are indeed beautiful. I feel pity for you when I see you."
When Chen Caozhi saw Xie Daoyun telling Li Jingshu's allusion, he was secretly worried, frowned slightly and said nothing -
Murong Qinchen, however, didn't know the origin of "I feel pity upon seeing her". He thought that Xie Daoyun was praising her beauty, so he couldn't help but feel a little happy. He also saw that although Xie Daoyun was dressed in men's clothes, he had long eyebrows and beautiful eyes. He was very charming and had a friendly expression.
She looked like a vicious lady in her usual imagination. She looked at Chen Caozhi, lowered her head, stepped forward and saluted Xie Daoyun, and said, "Murong Qinchen has seen Mrs. Right." She suddenly felt sour in her heart and wanted to cry -
It was really difficult for Xie Daoyun to see that the Xianbei princess did not wait for Chen Caozhi's reminder and took the initiative to greet her. Xie Daoyun was the most considerate and immediately held Murong Qinchen's hand and said, "Please call me Sister Daoyun in private."
Okay, how about I call you Qinqin? Chen Lang is in Yecheng, thanks to you for taking care of him."
Chen Caozhi changed his mind and said: "Qinqin, you often complain that I am busy with official duties and have no time to teach you how to read and write. Dao Yun is a talented woman who is more talented than men. She is here, you can ask her for more advice."
Murong Qinchen looked at Xie Daoyun, and Xie Daoyun smiled slightly. Although Murong Qinchen was straightforward, he was not a slow person. He understood that Chen Caozhi was worried that she would not get along well with Xie Daoyun, so he told the reason and immediately said: "Then
Qinqin, please worship Sister Daoyun as your teacher." As she said that, Yingying prostrated herself.
Xie Daoyun glanced at Chen Cao sideways and thought to himself: "Mr. Chen really tried his best to protect this Xianbei princess." He helped Murong Qinchen up and said: "I can't stay in Yecheng for long. I will go back years ago. Since you
If you are willing to learn, I will teach you for half a year."
Chen Cao said: "I'm going to take a bath. Dao Yun will give her some advice first. Yesterday, I learned the Eight-Qian rule of 'bowing and giving in, rising up, drinking down, and fighting is a gentleman'." After saying that, he left the study.
When he came back from bathing, Xie Daoyun had already established the dignity of a teacher in front of Murong Qinchen——
Murong Qin listened eagerly to Xie Daoyun's explanation of "Eight Yi" in "The Analects of Confucius". When Xie Daoyun asked her to ask questions, she asked Xie Daoyun about the meaning of the scriptures that Chen Caozhi had told her earlier to see if Xie Daoyun had the same views as Chen Caozhi -
—
How could Murong Qinchen hide such little thoughts from Xie Daoyun? He immediately analyzed the meaning of the scriptures for Murong Qinchen in simple and profound terms. Murong Qinchen couldn't help but nodded. This frail right lady gradually became taller in her eyes——
Chen Caozhi came in and asked with a smile: "What do you think of Qin Qin?"
Murong Qinchen said truthfully: "Sister Daoyun is better than you in learning. She speaks better than you and is easy to understand."
Chen Caozhi laughed loudly, bowed deeply to Xie Daoyun and said: "I am willing to bow down to you, I am willing to bow down to you." Of course he was not as good as Xie Daoyun in the Enlightenment Kindergarten School.
There is a set——
At this time, Yin Feng came over and said to Xie Daoyun: "Madam, the bedding and mats have been replaced. Madam, please rest early."
Murong Qinchen stood up and said, "Sister Daoyun, please rest early. Qinqin will come back tomorrow for advice." He glanced at Chen Cao and left the study.
Xie Daoyun looked at Murong Qinchen's tall and graceful back, with her slender and exquisite body wrapped in the white robe on her left side. She was so beautiful that "I feel pity for you", she covered her lips and smiled softly: "Mr. Chen, I'm tired from the journey today, you - accompany me
Qinqin, go."
Chen Caozhi pretended to be angry and said: "Who do you think I am? I want you to sleep with me today. You must not resist."
Xie Daoyun laughed so hard that his body became weak, and he was dizzy. Chen Caozhi hugged him into the curtain. When he was undressing, Chen Caozhi was busy with his hands, but Xie Daoyun said: "Chen Lang, the small characters of Princess Xianbei are actually the same as those of Duke Huan's concubine Li Jingshu."
Homophonic, Chen Lang is so unscrupulous?"
Chen Caozhi didn't answer, just busy himself——
Xie Daoyun grabbed one of Chen Caozhi's hands to prevent it from moving, and said with a smile: "Of course, Jiangzuo Weijie is much more handsome than the purple-eyed and bearded Sima Huan, so you don't have to worry about the subjugated princess having any resentment.
Well, it can also be seen that Murong Qinchen is very attached to Chen Lang."
At this time, Chen Caozhi lost his elegant temperament. He did not argue with Xie Daoyun, but only worked hard. Xie Daoyun gradually lost his reserve and could not help but let out some enchanting voice in his throat. A small farewell is better than a newlywed, let alone a farewell.
It’s been more than a year, and on this occasion of joy, I am extremely emotional——
…
Tonight, Murong Qinchen suffered from insomnia. After committing herself to Chen Caozhi, she had become accustomed to sleeping with Chen Caozhi on their knees every night. She stayed alone tonight, tossing and turning, thinking about Xie Daoyun's promise to return to Jiangdong years ago.
She felt a little better, but no matter what, Chen Caozhi was not hers alone. She didn't want to think too much, but she had to face it. How many infatuated women have endured this kind of suffering in ancient times?
…
Gao Song, Xie Yan and hundreds of people stayed in Yecheng for ten days. On April 25, they set off for Bingzhou, and then transferred to Youzhou. The governor of Youzhou was Tian Luo, and Ran Sheng was awarded the title of governor of western Liaoning.
The fierce general, whose reputation for bravery intimidated all the barbarians in the East—
Two people were missing from Xie Yan's entourage. When someone asked, they only said that they were ill and stayed in Yecheng for treatment, so Xie Daoyun and his maid quietly stayed in Yecheng because of the wind.
The subordinates shared a large number of official documents for Chen Caozhi, so that Chen Caozhi could have the energy to rectify the troops and horses in Jizhou. After Huan Wen went south, he left Bingzhou and Youzhou each with 10,000 soldiers. Only Chen Caozhi had the least troops and horses.
Liu Laozhi and Su Qi's 5,000 men, how can the huge Jizhou be defended with only 5,000 sergeants! So Chen Caozhi began to recruit troops in March, treating the Han and Xianbei Hu tribes equally, and Murong Ping's 20
The army of ten thousand collapsed at the foot of Ye City. Except for some of the Hu captives who were deported to Jiangdong, a large number of them fled back to their hometowns. Some were homeless and became refugees. Chen Cao ordered the eight counties of Jizhou to select the best and strongest ones and send them to Ye.
Within a hundred days, tens of thousands of soldiers were recruited and equipped with weapons. Liu Laozhi led them to train in the Fangtou and Muye areas. By now, Jizhou had fifteen thousand warriors.
