The day after the Xiyuan gathering, there was a heavy storm. Chen Caozhi did not go to Zhenqing Taoist Temple. He had promised Lu Weirui before that they would not see each other if there was a storm.
The second day after the gathering was a day off from school. After lunch at the Xu Academy, Chen Caozhi went to the Lu Mansion, met with the prefect Lu Na, and returned two calligraphy stickers and his copies of the two calligraphy stickers. This is
Chen Caozhi could borrow whatever Lu Na asked for, but he had to hand in the copy when returning it. So in the past month or so, Lu Na's study had several volumes of Chen Caozhi's copy handwriting. While Lu Na was tending to the flowers and trees,
I often come here to see Chen Caozhi's copies. I gently rub the scrolls with my slender fingers and smile in ecstasy.
Lu Na collected many authentic inscriptions on famous tablets from past dynasties, and asked Chen Caozhi to choose two more to copy. Chen Caozhi only chose one this time, which was Zhang Zhi's "Bi Xin Lun" and Wei Heng's
Like "Four Body Calligraphy Movements", "Bi Xin Lun" is Zhang Zhi's article on calligraphy, which has been lost to later generations, but now Lu Na does not regard it as a treasure.
Zhang Zhi was a great calligrapher who connected the past with the future. He practiced calligraphy extremely hard. He used all the clothes at home to write on and then washed and dyed them. He studied calligraphy in the pond, and the water in the pond ran out of ink. Zhang Zhi felt the slowness of official script.
Bo De and You were not able to express themselves freely in their own Zhang Cao with official meaning, so they created their own "One Stroke Calligraphy", also known as "Jin Cao", which became famous all over the world and attracted many scholars, including Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi and his son, who were also influenced by it.
Wang Xianzhi, in particular, loved Zhang Zhi's calligraphy the most. Wang Xianzhi's "Yatouwan Tie" inherited the style of Zhang Zhi's "August Tie". It can be said that Wang Xianzhi was more influenced by Zhang Zhi than his father Wang Xizhi.
This volume of "Bi Xin Lun" was written by Zhang Zhi using "one stroke calligraphy". It is also a treatise on calligraphy. Chen Caozhi had long wanted to borrow it for detailed study and copying. At this time, he requested: "Your Majesty, please give me a copy."
I will return to my hometown at the beginning of the month and come back in February next year. I sincerely ask your envoy to allow Cao Zhi to take this volume of "Bi Xin Lun" back to Qian Tang and return it when I come next year."
Lu Na said: "If you have a good eye, Zhang Zhi's "Bi Xin Lun" cannot be copied in ten and a half months. I can let you take it back and cherish it. I will test your modern writing when you come next year."
Chen Caozhi thanked him and chatted with Lu Na for a while. He was secretly wondering. Lu Weirui would have appeared in the study at this time in the past. Why was he missing today? He said, "Good teaching makes you know. Then Gu Kaizhi heard about it."
It is said that the prize for Miss Wei Rui's gathering is Zhang Heng's "Pictures of Divine Beasts from Eight Directions". She is extremely envious and wants to borrow it. What do you think of it?"
Lu Na smiled and said: "Is the crazy man of the Gu family complaining that the second-grade prizes are better than the first-grade prizes? Haha, I really don't want the "Pictures of Divine Beasts" to leak out of my house. He can borrow it if he wants. I will send someone to Baihua Pavilion right away.
Get it—" At this point, Lu Na frowned slightly and said, "By the way, Wei Rui caught a cold yesterday and is decoction at Yan's Hospital."
Chen Caozhi's heart skipped a beat, and with a calm expression on his face, he said calmly: "I would like to visit Miss Wei Rui. Mr. Zhikawa passed me eight volumes of "Emergency Prescriptions for Elbows". A serious illness cannot be cured.
The disease may be useful."
Lu Weirui should not be seriously ill, so Lu Na smiled and said, "I have forgotten that you are Ge Zhichuan's disciple. Okay, you come with me to visit Weirui." He then said, "Fuck, you have quite a few teachers, Ge Zhichuan."
Hong, Xu Zao, and Wei Xie are all well-established and famous people——"
Chen Cao said: "Lu Shijun is also my calligraphy mentor. Cao Zhi stayed in Wu County for two months and received many benefits from him."
Lu Na held his beard and smiled, and two children came out of the study and walked to Xiyuan Baihua Pavilion. At the same time, he told Chen Caozhi some old things about Ge Hong and the Lu family. In the early years, Ge Hong had contacts with Lu Na's father, Lu Wan. Lu Wan's two sons - Lu Shi and Lu Na, Ge Hong admired Lu Na more, while Ge Hong was more polite to Lu Shi. Three years ago, Lu Shi went to Baoshi Mountain Chuyang Taoist Temple to visit Ge Hong. Ge Hong forced the door to be closed, causing Lu Shi to come back in disgrace, angry but helpless——
Speaking of Zhang Mo and Zhang Andao, Zhang Mo left Wu County and returned to Kuaiji yesterday. Before leaving, he asked Lu Na to tell Chen Caozhi that he should go to Kuaiji to meet him when he has time in the future. It is best to bring him with him. Several paintings.
While talking, Chen Caozhi arrived outside the conservatory of Baihua Pavilion in Xiyuan and smelled the cold fragrance mixed with the bitterness of medicine.
Lu Weirui was half-lying on the big Jinma bed. Her black hair was not tied into a bun, but was tied loosely with a sky-blue ribbon hanging down her back. When she heard that her father and Chen Caozhi were coming, she quickly asked the maid to Dress her up——
The maid gave a hairpin and said: "Madam, the master of the house has already arrived at the pavilion. It's too late to comb her hair. Moreover, when the master came earlier, the lady had not dressed up either."
The little maid said: "Because Mr. Chen is here, doesn't it look rude not to put on makeup? But the lady looks very good even without putting on makeup, her face is rosy——"
Hairpin Hua said angrily: "Short hoe, what do you know? My wife blushes because of the cold and fever. You think she looks better because she put on rouge. My wife never puts on rouge."
At this time, Lu Na and Chen Caozhi had already arrived in the outer room. Lu Weirui had to wash her face in a hurry, and then asked the maid to put away the curtains on both sides. Seeing her father and Chen Caozhi approaching, she said shyly: "Dad, Chen Caozhi Mr. Lang——"
Lu Na asked: "Rui'er, have you drunk the Xiaobupleurum soup from before?"
Lu Weirui nodded and said: "I feel better after drinking it." She didn't dare to look at Chen Caozhi, feeling embarrassed because she was lying on the bed in a disheveled state.
It was also the first time for Chen Caozhi to see Lu Weirui's carefree appearance. Her cheeks were flushed, her eyebrows were lowered and her eyelashes were lowered. Her thick black hair was scattered on the snow-white pillow. The scent of medicine was mixed with the scent of powder in the boudoir, which gave her a strange charm. .
Lu Na said: "It seems that you are a disciple of Mr. Zhikawa and he also understands medicine. Let him diagnose and treat you again."
Lu Weirui said "Oh", looked up at Chen Caozhi, and said: "Thank you Mr. Chen." But she spread her right hand beside the couch, and raised her sleeves slightly, revealing her bright wrists——
Chen Cao was stunned, and then he realized that this was about taking pulses. He didn't know how to take pulses, but he couldn't back down at this time, so he sat on the embroidered pillar next to the couch, diagonally opposite Lu Weirui on the couch, and gently touched the index finger and middle finger of his right hand. Putting it on Lu Weirui's left wrist, she could tell the pulse rate even though she couldn't do anything else.
Lu Weirui lowered her long eyelashes and only looked at Chen Caozhi's two fingers on her wrist. Those two fingers seemed to be as heavy as a thousand, which made her a little out of breath. Her heart was beating faster and faster, and her face was Getting redder and red——
He felt the softness and warmth of the girl's wrist with his fingertips, and felt that Lu Weirui's pulse was getting faster and faster. The doctor Chen Caozhi's heart was also beating fast. He immediately stopped his hand and said: "It's okay, pulse Clear and powerful." He then asked, "Everything was fine the day before yesterday, but why did Miss Wei Rui feel cold?"
The little maid said: "My wife went to Zhenqing Taoist Temple yesterday to look at camellias. Her skirt got soaked by the rain, and she got fever when she came back."
Lu Weirui wanted to stop the short hoe from saying it, but the short hoe was quick to speak, and the sound was as clear and crisp as the beans being fried in a hot pot, and they poured out with a crackle.
Chen Caozhi's heart moved. It turned out that Lu Weirui went to Zhenqing Taoist Temple yesterday. It was raining so hard and it was the coldest month of winter again!
Lu Na knew that her daughter was obsessed with flowers. Not to mention the camellia tree outside the west gate of the county, and the Qionghua flower in Shangyu, eight hundred miles away, she would go there twice a year to visit. She sighed: "Idiot, for the sake of
I got sick from admiring the flowers! Since you love the camellias from Zhenqing Taoist Temple so much, I will have all those camellias transplanted to Xiyuan for you next spring, even if Li Taoist doesn’t agree.”
Lu Weirui hurriedly said: "Dad, how can this mean that the art of flower art is an elegant thing, how can it be overwhelming, the camellia that is taken by force will wither and die."
Lu Na laughed and said, "Then you promise daddy that you won't ignore your own body because of your infatuation. Do you hear me?"
Lu Weirui responded, quickly glanced at Chen Cao, and met Chen Cao's eyes——
Chen Caozhi looked at her with his dark and deep eyes and said, "Miss Wei Rui, please take care of yourself. If you are so sick, wouldn't someone like Lu Shijun who loves you be impatient?"
