Zhenqing Taoist Temple is located at the foot of a hill at the west gate of the county city. It is slightly larger than Ge Hong's Chuyang Taoist Temple. Chen Caozhi and Lu Weirui got off the car in front of the Taoist Temple. Chen Caozhi first went to the Sanqing Hall to worship and follow his mother's instructions. He told Lai De to give alms when entering any Buddhist temple or Taoist temple, so he asked Lai De to take one hundred coins and five baht as incense money. Then he and Lu Weirui walked through the backyard under the guidance of the courtyard boy and came to the foot of the hill behind. But halfway up the mountainside, there are colorful flowers blooming all over, including pink, deep red, rose red, lavender, dark purple, goose yellow, and hundreds of camellia plants of various colors. Under the direct sunlight near noon, the flowers are blooming like brocade and beautiful.
There are stone steps funded by the Taoist temple leading to the middle of the mountain, and there is also a pinewood pavilion for temporary rest.
The maids Dan Hao and Lu Weirui walked in front, followed by Chen Caozhi and Ran Sheng. Chen Caozhi looked up and saw Lu Weirui holding the skirt of her skirt in both hands, revealing her green silk shoes and pink socks. Lu Weirui was walking very fast. His agility must have been developed through frequent outings looking for flowers, so he has quite a bit of leg strength.
Arriving at the Songmu Pavilion, looking at the clumps of camellias blooming at different heights along the mountain, Lu Weirui said: "There are also several different species of camellia here. I think it's close to home. You can come and see it at any time. The Taoist monastery will take care of you." These camellias are also very careful, otherwise——"
Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "Otherwise, we will transplant them all to Xiyuan."
Lu Weirui smiled in surprise and said: "I listened to your words that day and thought it was very reasonable. It is better to let the flowers and trees grow naturally and move them to Xiyuan so that no one else can see them. Isn't that selfish?"
Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "It's as strong as an empty mountain and a deep valley, lonely and open."
Lu Weirui also smiled calmly and said: "Look at these half camellias. Anyone who likes to see them can come and enjoy them -" Seeing Chen Caozhi walking towards a clump of purple camellias on a small slope, she followed behind.
This is a quite valuable "Big Purple Robe" camellia, but it has two empty stems and the marks of picking are obvious. Chen Caozhi shook his head and said: "If there are too many people looking at it, there will be people who look bad at the scenery and pick the flowers all the time." go!"
Lu Weirui leaned forward to take a look, but Chen Caozhi shook her head, straightened up, and took a step back. He bumped her chest with his right elbow. He couldn't help but screamed "Ah" and took two steps back. His feet were unstable. If not, Holding on to the short hoe behind him, he almost fell down.
Chen Caozhi turned around and saw Lu Weirui swaying, his face flushed, and the soft touch behind his elbow seemed to still be there. He knew that he accidentally touched Lu Weirui's chest. Although he was not exactly a fifteen-year-old boy, , but my face was red, and I was extremely embarrassed. This matter was not easy to explain, and it was easy to get darker and darker. Neither party mentioned it, so it was best to let it pass quietly.
Unexpectedly, Lu Weirui calmed down, smiled sweetly, and came to comfort Chen Caozhi: "It doesn't matter, you didn't mean it, right? Let's continue to look at the flowers. There is an auspicious snow plant over there. I wonder if someone will pick it off? "
Chen Caozhi originally felt no guilt, but Lu Weirui said it so openly, which made him feel a little guilty. In front of this innocent and beautiful girl, there is really no room for any obscenity.
At this time, the short hoe suddenly said: "My little maid knows who picked those two purple camellias -"
Lu Weirui's eyes widened and she asked: "Who is it? How do you know about Short Hoe?"
Short hoe said: "It's Mr. Liu Lang. The day before yesterday, he came to Xiyuan with two purple camellias. He said that he wanted to find Qimei to go to Zhenqing Taoist Temple to enjoy the flowers. He said that the camellias in Zhenqing Taoist Temple were all in bloom. The little maid As soon as he saw it, he quickly reminded him that Miss Wei Rui would be angry if she saw you picking flowers on your hands. Mr. Liu Lang said that these are not flowers from the Xiyuan. The maid then said that no matter where the flowers are, the little Miss will see you picking them. It made you angry when you played with your hands. Mr. Rokuro felt disappointed, so he threw away the flowers in his hand and left."
Lu Weirui was so angry that she was speechless. After a while, she said: "I didn't expect that the person named Lu was the one who ruined the scenery. Short hoe, tell the gardener not to let the sixth brother enter my garden in the future."
Chen Cao said: "Camellia has a long flowering period. It blooms earlier than plum blossoms and fades later than peach blossoms. It would be a pity to pick them off. By the way, Miss Wei Rui, when the peach blossoms bloom at Lion Mountain next year, do you want to go?
look?"
Lu Weirui said: "Because it is the boundary of Gu's Manor, I have never been there before - will you come to Wu County next year?"
Chen Cao said: "I'm coming to participate in the official appointment in March next year. I will leave after the first lunar month and will arrive in about mid-February. Then I will come to visit you and invite you to see the peach blossoms.
I also want to paint a picture of "Bixi Peach Blossom"."
"Ah!" Lu Weirui said in surprise: "Can you draw? Are you good at it?"
Chen Cao said: "I am a beginner, but I have famous teachers, Mr. Wei Xie to teach me, and Gu Kaizhi."
Lu Weirui said: "I also study painting under Mr. Zhang Mo. Mr. Zhang is as famous as Mr. Wei, but they don't seem to get along well. Otherwise, I can also go to see Mr. Wei - Chen Caozhi, the day off from school is coming
Come and paint with me in the garden, I specialize in painting flowers and trees."
Chen Caozhi was a little hesitant. Although Lu Weirui was innocent and would not despise him because he was a poor student, other people in the Lu family were not like this, especially Lu Qin. He always felt uncomfortable when he encountered cold words and ridicule.
, then said: "I can't go there often. I only study painting when I have free time. I still focus on Dr. Xu's lectures."
Lu Weirui said "Oh" without saying anything. She held up her skirt and followed Chen Cao to admire the camellias. When she was leaving, she suddenly asked: "Chen Caozhi, why am I so willing to see you?"
Chen Caozhi's face was slightly red, and looking at Lu Weirui's clear eyes, he couldn't answer.
The maidservant, who is only thirteen years old, replied: "That's not surprising. The maidservant is also very willing to see Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen is handsome and graceful. Everyone is willing to see him."
For example, men in later generations liked to talk about women's appearance, which was the custom in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Women also talked about beautiful men with gusto, and praised them in person without any shame.
Lu Weirui nodded in agreement: "Well, Mr. Chen is handsome, just like the Orchid and Yushu, but what is more attractive about Mr. Chen is his wonderful thoughts and conversation. It will make me smile knowingly when I think about him a few days later."
Chen Caozhi was praised in person by the two masters and maids. Even though they were two generations old, Chen Caozhi felt that he was being tested and said: "It must be this flower, because flowers have similar tastes."
Lu Weirui said: "Well, we have the same smell." He added: "From now on, every school holiday, I will wait for you at Zhenqing Taoist Temple, and we will look at the camellias together. At this time, I will show you the camellias I painted, and you will also
Take the time to draw a picture for me to see."
Chen Caozhi nodded in agreement, waved goodbye, and greeted Lai De to drive. He and Ran Sheng walked back to Xu's Thatched Cottage, thinking: "We smell like each other. This word is very awkward. In the Jin Dynasty, this word still had no derogatory connotation. It only refers to
They have the same interests, but how come they become bad people and do bad things so quickly?"
…
Everyone in Wu County knew that Lu Weirui was a nymphomaniac, and Lu Weirui also liked to play, and was used to being in public. Chu Wenbin naturally recognized Lu Weirui. When he saw Chen Caozhi and Lu Weirui enjoying flowers together, he was so shocked that his eyes almost fell out, and he hurriedly went back to report
Father Chu Jian.
After hearing this, Chu Jian closed his eyes and said nothing. After a while, he said: "Continue to let people stare to see if these two people will meet again?"
Chu Jian asked cautiously: "Dad, what exactly does Chen Caozhi want to do?"
Chu Jian smiled sadly: "What do you want to do? Chen Qingzhi married a girl from the Ding family of the Qiantang gentry. Naturally, Chen Caozhi wanted to continue his efforts and marry home a girl from the Lu family of the first-class gentry in Jiangdong."
Chu Wenbin's eyes bulged wildly and he shouted: "Dad, how is this possible? It's Chen Cao's wishful thinking!"
Chu Jian said: "Of course it's just wishful thinking. Chen Caozhi was young and frivolous, and he actually set his sights on Lu Na's daughter. There is no way he can escape his ruined reputation. By then, the Lu family's reputation will be greatly affected. I want to see if Lu Na will survive."
Do you always praise Chen Caozhi when you meet others?"
