In the early morning of the ridge, the shadows of the trees are slanted, and the dark fragrance floats.

This is a small mountain ridge on the north bank of the Songjiang River, the mountain is gentle, the highest place is less than 30 zhang, the reason why it is called Meiling is because the mountain is full of plum trees, green plum, white plum, red plum...... It's mid-to-late February, and most of the plum blossoms have withered, except for the three-leaf plum that is still in full bloom.

Chen Caozhi's favorite mountaineering, especially the lush mountains and trees, saw always want to wear flowers and trees, over the top, so early this morning he and Ran Sheng in the 6 government stewards arranged a cast accompanied, climbed the Meiling heights, looking at the plain wilderness, farming is flourishing, the reeds in the riverside swamp from time to time there are cranes and storks rising to the sky, out of a high-pitched chirping.

Chen Caozhi couldn't help but say leisurely: "Huating cranes can also be heard every day." ”

The 6 government officials behind him said: "Chen Langjun, look, the little lady has also come up the mountain. ”

Chen Caozhi stood at a high place and looked down, halfway up the mountain between the plum trees, the 6 Weirui with towering buns and light blue shirts were climbing the steps, occasionally looking up, and Chen Caozhi's eyes were contacted, smiling, making a salute from afar, not stopping, and disappearing under the flower tree in a blink of an eye.

6 Wei Rui took the little maid short hoe and hairpin flower to the head of the ridge, Chen Caozhi saluted and said: "Wei Rui lady, the lotus petal Chunlan was sent to Xiao Xi Garden early in the morning, did the lady see it?" ”

6S lowered his eyelashes slightly: "I saw it, thank you Chen Langjun." ”

Chen Caozhi said: "In the future, when I go back and forth to Wu County, I will pass through Huating, even if there are no flowers to save, it is good to listen to the crane." ”

6 With a crimson face, Wei Rui instructed the hairpin and the short hoe to find out if there were any blooming three-leaf plums near the top of the mountain. Seeing that Ran Sheng and the servant were also more than a dozen steps away, he whispered, "Is Chen Langjun making fun of me?" ”

Chen Caozhi's eyes looked at the cranes and clouds. said: "How so." My heart rejoiced. ”

6 Wei Rui's face turned a little redder. He said softly: "I thought Chen Langjun was going to cross the ground from Huating. That's all there first. That lotus petal Chunlan has been sick with the macula for several days—" Speaking of which. I couldn't help but laugh out loud. glanced at Chen Cao. And he said, "Because I have already threatened to go out." The servants also waited at the ferry every day. I didn't see you come until the fourteenth day. I know you haven't taken this path. But the lotus petal Chunlan can't be left untreated. So I'm going to send someone to the county and invite you here—"

Ran Sheng and the servants of the villa came over. Chen Caozhi and 6 Wei Rui didn't speak. Watch the morning sun shine over. Meiling is full of greenery. The spring breeze is blowing. But I feel relaxed. Although the two of them were silent. The feelings in my heart are growing like spring grass-

Not far away, a short hoe said sharply: "Lady." Wife. Here, a three-leaf plum tree blooms very well. ”

6 Wei Rui shifted her steps. I suddenly felt very timid. Don't dare to look at Chen Caodi's eyes. said: "Chen Langjun." To see the plum blossoms? ”

Chen Caozhi responded. Follow behind 6 Furrow. I saw her holding her skirt in both hands. Pink socks and green shoes. Waist twist. Rise and fall on both feet. It walks very lightly. Chen Caozhi likes to see 6 Weirui walking. Lively and beautiful. It's like a butterfly flying on the ground.

Under the three-leaf plum tree full of purple flowers, 6 Weirui said: "Chen Langjun, there are not so many plum trees in this Meiling, after my ancestor Shiheng Gong was killed, my grandmother Dai planted forty-three plum trees in this ridge for condolences, because Shiheng Gong was forty-three years old when he was killed, and forty-four were planted the following year, and then increased year by year, until ninety-nine are planted. ”

Chen Caozhi: "The world only knows that 6 plains love cranes, but they don't know that 6 plains also love plums so much, plum has four virtues, the first birth is yuan, flowering is like Heng, knotting is profitable, mature is chastity, 6 plains are high and clean, just like this elegant and handsome plum blossom, admired by the world." ”

"Mei Gu Side, that's a good point!"

A woman's voice suddenly sounded from behind Chen Caozhi, although Chen Caozhi was surprised, but on the surface he did not move, calmly turned around, and saw that it was the stepmother Zhang of 6 Weirui who had been seen from afar yesterday, and immediately took a deep look: "Boy Chen Caozhi, please meet Mrs. 6." "After the ceremony, the wind god was scattered and stood quietly.

6 Wei Rui approached Shi Li and said: "Wei Rui has seen Aunt Zhang-Aunt Zhang, this Chen Langjun is the Chen Caozhi that Teacher An Dao told you about, and he came to treat the lotus petal spring brandy. ”

Zhang looked at Chen Caozhi and smiled: "Is it Chen Langjun who painted Mo Lan?" ”

Chen Caozhi bowed and said, "Yes." ”

Zhang said: "Zhang Andao is my brother, and he admires you very much. ”

Chen Caozhi: "Mr. Meng Andao praised him, and he was ashamed. ”

6 Wei Rui said to Chen Cao: "Chen Langjun, my Aunt Zhang is also very good at painting flowers and birds, if you encounter difficulties in painting, you can come to Aunt Zhang for advice." ”

Zhang said with a smile: "How dare you, Chen Langjun is a disciple of Mr. Wei Xie, and my brother Zhang Mo does not dare to be his master." ”

Chen Caozhi: "I have only been learning painting from the Wei Shi for two months, the Wei Shi has now returned to Shouyang, learning to paint at the beginning, the difficulties are everywhere, and no one is suffering, if the 6 ladies do not give up, the boy will always come to ask for advice." ”

6 Wei Rui said: "Aunt Zhang, in the past, Mrs. Wei taught Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, and both the master and apprentice were valued by the world, which can be called a good story, why should Aunt Zhang accept Chen Langjun as an apprentice?" ”

Zhang shook his head and smiled: "No,

If I get an apprentice, my brother will laugh at me if he learns. ”

6s said: "Mr. Antao knows that I have learned Mr. Wei Xie's penmanship, and he doesn't blame me, but he praises me." ”

Zhang just didn't allow it.

Chen Caozhi said: "Mrs. 6, I painted a lotus petal Chunlan last night, and I want to ask Mrs. for advice." ”

Zhang didn't refuse at this time, and said: "Don't dare to point, it's okay to see." ”

Immediately went down the mountain together, Chen Caozhi went to his residence to get the Chunlan painting manuscript to Xiaoxiyuan to ask 6 Mrs. Su Wenjun for advice, 6 Mrs. Su Wenjun was very surprised by Chen Caozhi's strange painting style, and watched it for a long time-

Mrs. 6 out of the famous Zhang's family, family history, can be good at painting and painting, talking about painting and calligraphy, there is always a lot to say, and Chen Caozhi's character is handsome, the words are elegant, although it is a child of the poor family, but Mrs. 6's perception of Chen Caozhi will not be bad, when Chen Caozhi said goodbye, Mrs. 6 also invited him to come to Huating to paint, 6's villa has beautiful scenery, there are many flowers in the small cherished garden, you can enter the painting.

Chen Caozhi thanked Mrs. 6, took the 6 carriage to leave Huating, on the way, thinking of 6 Wei Rui's bright and affectionate eyes, which really made him extremely cherished, and said in his heart: "6 Wei Rui has her stupidity, but she also has her scheming - is 6 Wei Rui working with me?" ”

……

When Chen Caozhi returned to Wu County on the morning of February 17, when he walked to the shore of Xiaojing Lake, he saw a figure coming and going in front of the Xu's thatched cottage on the opposite bank, so he said to Ran Sheng beside him: "Dr. Xu and the immortals have arrived. ”

Before he walked to the front of the cottage, he saw Liu Shangzhi come out of nowhere, and said loudly: "Zizhong, you are finally back, hurry up, the immortals are in danger this time!" ”

Then he saw Ding Chunqiu again, and also shouted: "Zizhong is here, Zizhong is here, come quickly, the immortals can't resist." ”

Chen Caozhi was taken aback, lifted his robe, strode over, and asked, "What's wrong with the immortals, what is the disease?" ”

Liu Shangzhi laughed again, took Chen Caodi's hand and walked to the grass hall on the left, and said in a low voice: "The immortals are not sick, but they are asked by others, the two new students, said to be siblings, brother Zhu Yingtai, younger brother Zhu Yingting, both brothers are only sixteen or seventeen years old, but they are Confucian and Xuantong, very knowledgeable, that is called Zhuying Terrace, especially powerful, talking about the edge, I really have never heard of, the immortals are already stumbling and tired of coping, I and the Spring and Autumn Period are listening outside the door, That Zhu Yingtai is very subtle, the two of us don't dare to go in at all, and when I go in, I can only be speechless by his words, only Zizhong You may be able to fight him, otherwise my Xu Academy will lose face. ”

Hearing the three words "Zhu Yingtai", Chen Caozhi was very surprised, is there really Zhu Yingtai? A woman disguised as a man to go out to study in Zhuyingtai? Zhu Yingtai, who fell in love with Liang Shanbo in life and death? It seems to remember that the legend of Liang Zhu was first born in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, could it be that this poignant love story will be born in Xu's thatched cottage? But how come Zhu Yingtai has a younger brother Zhu Yingting? This doesn't match the legend -

I thought again: "Maybe it's the same name, Zhu Yingtai's name is not obscure, as long as the surname Zhu Di accidentally gets this name, it depends on whether this Zhu Yingtai is a man dressed as a woman?" If it is really a man dressed as a woman, then it will have to wait for Liang Shanbo to appear, and there is still a ...... surnamed Liang in the Xu Academy."

Liu Shangzhi saw Chen Caozhi frowning and thinking, so he pushed Chen Caozhi: "What, Zizhong, you are also afraid of that Zhu Yingtai?" ”

Chen Caoyi smiled and asked, "Is Dr. Xu not here?" ”

Liu Shangzhi said: "Dr. Xu went to Wu County yesterday, and went to visit 6 Taishou early this morning, and then came to the two brothers, the immortals asked questions as usual, and the two brothers thought that Dr. Xu did not come forward and the immortals came forward to ask the difficulties is to ignore them, so they proposed to argue with each other, and the immortals were angry for a while, so they agreed, who would have thought that Zhu Yingtai was so powerful in thinking and arguing - Zizhong, this time it depends on you." ”

But I heard a clear sound coming from the thatched hall on the left, like the breeze in the mountains, like the ice edges hitting each other, and the meaning of the words was like a big river rushing, eloquent:

"——However, the Tao is hidden and traceless, simple and nameless, and the law is unobtainable; There is no more, there is still the law of heaven and earth, but the heaven and earth are vast, and I don't know what the law is; There is no end, the Dharma Heaven and Earth are accustomed to seeing and hearing things, Chapter 8 of 'Shangshan is like water', Chapter 15 of 'The Valley of the Desert is like a valley', Chapter 32 of 'The Valley of the Juchuan River is in the river and sea', and Chapter 41 of the 'Shangde Ruo Valley', all of which are said to be like this, otherwise, how can it be said that 'the people are all called my nature'? ”

Xu Miao barely supported for a quarter of an hour, and at this time he couldn't keep up with the Zhu brothers, especially Zhu Yingtai's train of thought, and his face turned red, but the young man's self-esteem made him unwilling to admit defeat, and he thought hard about what he had learned in his life, but often as soon as the words came out, he was frustrated by Zhu Yingtai's more sharp words, just like a drowning person, desperately struggling out of the water to catch his breath, but as soon as he probed, he was hit by a bamboo pole as a head-

This Zhu Yingtai is really ruthless when he refutes it!
