In mid-September, Quanli, a regular servant of Sanqi, left Qiantang and returned to Jiankang. He passed through Wu County. Quanli was the Zhongzheng official of Wu County, but he was only under the control of Situ Mansion. The prefect of this county had no right to interfere with his function of inspecting talents.
However, any talents selected from the twelve counties of Wujun must be reported to the prefect. Quanli also had a good personal relationship with Lu Na, so Quanli stayed in the prefecture for two days, drinking and talking about the beauty of Wuzhong's mountains and rivers.
The handsome character, Chen Caozhi, the sixth-grade poor scholar he promoted this time, is naturally an important topic.
Lu Na first heard that Quan Li had promoted a fifteen-year-old boy from a poor family to the sixth rank, and he didn't agree with it. The sixth rank of a poor family was equivalent to a nobleman being rated as the top second rank. He should have been cautious, but seeing Quan Li
When I showed him the poem "Standing Clouds" written by Chen Caozhi and Chu Wenqian in competition that day, I couldn't help but admire Chen Caozhi's unique regular script.
Lu Na is recognized as a great calligrapher who inherited the calligraphy style of his uncle Lu Ji. He has been immersed in calligraphy for more than 30 years. He is proficient in the four calligraphy styles of seal, Li, Zhen and Xing. He is listed as the second grade calligrapher, only
It is second to Wang Xizhi and Xie An in the first rank, but in the eyes of most Jiangzu people, Lu Na's calligraphy is not inferior to Wang and Xie's. The reason why it cannot be ranked in the first rank is entirely because the northern clans control the government and style.
for the sake of.
Everyone in Wu County knew that Lu Na's daughter Lu Weirui was a nymphomaniac, but they didn't know that Lu Na was as crazy about calligraphy as his daughter. He spent a lot of money to collect tablets and calligraphy stickers. Some of the tablets were treasures of the temple and could not be taken back.
He sat down under the stele, touched it one by one with his hands, and then took out the copy with his own hands. Lu Na entered the official career as a second-grade official. He had been an official for fifteen years. When hiring an official, he first looked at his qualifications.
In calligraphy, all those with poor calligraphy will be dismissed, while those with good calligraphy will be reused. Therefore, in the five years since Lu Na was appointed as the prefect of Wu County, the calligraphy style in Wu County has flourished. Regardless of scholars and common people, all people regard practicing calligraphy as their first priority.
The man had a slimmer waist than the king of Chu, and many people died of starvation in the palace. Lu Na was good at calligraphy, so he encouraged the county to practice calligraphy as a ladder to become an official.
Therefore, when Lu Na saw Chen Caozhi's clear and elegant calligraphy, it was like a samurai seeing a treasured sword or a traveler seeing a beautiful scenery. You can imagine his surprise, and he immediately wanted to give up his love.
Leave this text behind.
Quan Li chuckled and said: "Brother Zu Yan, Chen Caozhi is a common citizen under your rule. Isn't it easy to ask for his name? In March next year, he will come to the county to accept the state Zhongzheng examination. You will give him a lot of orders then.
Just write a few paintings, and I want to take this one to Tan County to show Wang Yishao."
Wang Yishao is Wang Xizhi, who has resigned and lives in seclusion in Jinting, Tan County.
After hearing what Quan Li said, Lu Na had no choice but to give up. After bidding farewell to Quan Li, Lu Na kept thinking about Chen Caozhi's unique writing style that was different from Wang, Xie, Lu, and Gu. Although Chen Caozhi was coming to the county in March next year
, but I still feel that it has been too long, and I am wondering whether I should send an envoy to Qiantang to get some of Chen Caozhi's calligraphy, or simply take Chen Caozhi to the county and see his writing with my own eyes, so I saw Xu Zao present today.
When I read Ge Hong's letter and heard that Chen Caozhi was now studying at the Xu School, Lu Na was overjoyed and ordered his servants to drive an ox cart to pick up Chen Cao.
When Chen Caozhi and Ran Sheng arrived at Lu Mansion in an ox cart, it was already Shenshi. When they got off the car, they met Lu Qin. Lu Qin opened his eyes wide and asked, "Hey, what are you doing here?" He thought Chen Cao was there.
He was here to rescue the jujubes, and he said displeasedly: "I didn't come two days ago, and now the jujube 'jade plate' has withered and died. Why are you here?"
Chen Cao was speechless, and the official replied: "The envoy invited Mr. Chen to come."
"Oh!" Lu Qin was very surprised. He watched the servants leading Chen Caozhi in. He didn't understand why his uncle invited Chen Caozhi to come.
When Lu Na saw Chen Caozhi, he felt that he looked familiar. Such a handsome young man is unforgettable at first sight. After thinking about it for a moment, he exclaimed: "It turns out to be you, come with me quickly." He took Chen Caozhi with him.
Then he walked to the back hall with his hands, leaving Xu Zao stunned, thinking how could you recognize Chen Caozhi, how strange it is!
Chen Caozhi couldn't remember where he had seen this majestic and long-bearded Governor Lu, so he calmly asked: "Mr. Lu, what are your instructions to me?"
Lu Na still held Chen Caozhi's hand and said as he walked: "So you are Chen Caozhi. I saw you in Huating. You treated Hei Ju for Rui'er. Rui'er is looking for you these days. Her jade
Seeing that he was no longer alive, he was so anxious that he didn't even think about food and drink, and he became quite thin."
Chen Cao was not a master of gardening in his previous life. He just saw a lot of various flowers and trees during his travels and knew some common sense about flower cultivation. How to save dead jujubes? Since he did not have the willow bottle of Guanyin Bodhisattva to purify water, he said: "
I have learned from you that I only know a little about gardening, but I don't know how to bring flowers and trees back to life."
Lu Na said: "We talked with each other sincerely, I just don't want to make Rui'er too sad."
Lu Na has a son and a daughter, his son Lu Changsheng and his daughter Lu Weirui. Lu Na loves these two children very much. Five years ago, his beloved son Lu Changsheng became ill. Lu Na was so anxious that he resigned from his job and spent all day and night lamenting until Changsheng recovered from his illness.
, he returned to the post of cameraman. He was famous among the Jiangdong nobles for doting on their children, and was also laughed at by the northern clans, saying that the Lu family lacked family education.
The backyard of the Lu Mansion is huge, covering an area of more than 200 acres, with curved courtyards, corridors, pavilions and pavilions. After walking for a while, I arrived at a garden gate made of Taihu stones. This is the treasure house Lu Na built specially for his beloved daughter Lu Weirui.
The garden is full of flowers and trees, clustered in clusters and scattered at different heights, which is dizzying for the eyes.
Lu Na asked a maid by the garden gate: "Where is Wei Rui?"
The maid saluted and said: "My little lady is guarding the jade plant in Jinfeng Pavilion and weeping. Alas -"
Lu Na shook his head, let go of Chen Caozhi's hand, strode forward, and sighed: "What an idiot. There are just flowers on the left and right. Is it worth being so sad!"
Chen Cao said: "Your Majesty, Ju Hua Yu Ban may not be able to be saved, but I can give some advice to Lady Wei Rui."
Lu Na looked back at Chen Cao and said with a wry smile: "Rui'er hopes that you will be her savior, but you can't save her jade version either. I'm afraid it will be even more sad."
Chen Caozhi followed Lu Na to the outside of the Jinfeng Pavilion. They saw colorful purples and reds and a refreshing fragrance. It was early winter and all kinds of jujubes were in full bloom. In the Jinfeng Pavilion, a girl in plain clothes with a ponytail sitting on a futon, leaning on her elbows.
He held a briefcase, holding his chin with one hand, looking at the jade plate of the precious jujube with all the wilted flowers and leaves not far away, in a daze, with tears still on his cheeks.
A maid saw Lu Na and said hurriedly: "Ms. Wei Rui, the master of the house is here."
Lu Weirui helped the waiter to stand up to greet him. He just called out: "Daddy——", when she saw the gentle and smiling young man in ge robe, her eyes were swollen from crying and she immediately opened her eyes wide with surprise: "Ah
, you are here, please save my jade plate."
Chen Caozhi saluted and said, "Chen Caozhi, where is the jade tablet?"
Lu Weirui swept away her haggard look, walked forward in small steps, and came to the jujube plant. She looked at Chen Caozhi with an earnest look on her face: "This is the one. Can you, Chen Caozhi, save it?"
When Chen Caozhi took a closer look, he saw that the flowers and leaves of the jade plate were all wilted, and the branches were withered and brittle. Only the main trunk was still a little green. In short, ten stops were dead and seven stops were dead.
Chen Caozhi shook his head and said: "Ms. Wei Rui, I want to pull out the jade flower roots and have a look. If the roots are rotten, it will be completely hopeless. Everyone has a long life, not to mention trees.
You don’t have to be too sad.”
Lu Weirui hesitated for a while, then finally nodded and said: "Okay, you pull it out."
Then a strong servant girl who was used to tending flowers and trees came forward, and she quickly dug out the jade tablets with jade flowers.
Chen Cao stepped forward and shook off the soil on the rhizome. He saw that more than half of the rhizome had rotted. Lu Weirui burst into tears when she saw it.
Chen Caozhi thought of a secret method and thought: "Master Ge's "Baopuzi" mentioned a copper sulfate solution - Zeng Qing, but there was no record of a similar potassium permanganate solution. Otherwise, use a potassium permanganate solution.
Washing and soaking the rhizomes before planting them may not necessarily save them." After thinking for a while, he said: "There is another way, let's try it, maybe there will be a chance."
Lu Weirui's eyes suddenly lit up with tears in her eyes, and she hurriedly asked what can be done?
Chen Caozhi asked someone to prepare a pot of rice wine, and ordered his servant to dig out the rotten part of the rhizome of the jade tablet, wash the rotten roots in rice wine, soak them for a while, and plant them again in a dry place, saying: "Don't
Water the flowers. If the flowers are not dry after three days, there may be hope of survival."
