Volume 4 Insight XLVI. The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold

When Chen Xian and Ding Yi were discussing marriage in the hall of the North Building, Chen Xian's wife Fang hurriedly went to the West Building to see Ding Youji and asked Ding Huilan how she looked? Because in recent years, the reputation of the Tang Chen clan has risen, and the scholars in the nearby counties are looking forward to marrying the Qian Tang Chen clan, and the Hanmen or Shu clans who had a marriage relationship with the Chen family in the early years have faintly improved their status, and they are proud of marrying with the Chen family, so it is Ding Yi who personally came to the door to discuss his relatives, and the Fang family must first ask clearly, if they are ugly and not very virtuous, then they still have to refuse to be one by one Ding Yu said with a smile: "The fourth aunt of the good teacher learned that my seventh sister is somewhat similar in appearance to me back then, and her temperament is also elegant." ”

Fang looked at Ding Youwei, who was sitting upright, Ding Youwei was thirty years old, his complexion was undiminished, and he had hardly changed from his first marriage Qingzhi thirteen years ago, he was still so beautiful, not to mention his temperament, he was quiet and quiet, and his female virtue was excellent, Ding Youwei was a little embarrassed by Fang's eyes, and said: "Why does the fourth aunt look at her nephew like this, my nephew is not a good word for my seventh sister, my seventh sister is indeed beautiful and virtuous, and she should be a good match for Ah Tan." ”

Fang said with a smile: "If there is half a small one, the old woman will be satisfied." He got up and said, "Okay, the old woman believes in the young olive words, and this family affair is decided, and the Chen family and the Ding family can kiss each other." Then he took a servant woman back to the north building.

Ding Youwei walked to the corridor, looked at the fourth aunt rushing back, and thought: "A few days ago, my uncle also tested me, and my uncle wanted to marry the seventh sister to Xiaolang, because my uncle felt that it was impossible for Xiaolang to marry 6 little ladies now, for the sake of the clan, Xiaolang could not marry for the rest of his life, Xiaolang's future is unlimited, my uncle really wanted to marry Huilan's sister to Xiaolang, but I politely refused, although the seventh sister is good, but she is still not worthy of Xiaolang, only a pure girl like 6 little ladies is Xiaoli's good couple, Xiaolang will definitely be able to tie the knot with the 6 little ladies. I thought again: "What's going on with Xiaolang and that Zhu Yingtai, this time I must ask Xiaolang clearly?" ”

At this time, Chen Caozhi accompanied Gu Kaizhi and Zhang Tongyun to the third floor to meet Ding Youwei, and after Gu Kaizhi greeted Ding Youwei, he and Chen Caozhi went to the next study to talk to Zongzhi and Run'er, and Zhang Tongyun stayed to talk to Ding Youwei.

Ding Youji had already learned from Xiao Lang that Zhang Gong and 6 Wei Rui were cousins, and they were close friends, and when he saw Zhang Tongyun at this time, he couldn't help but praise in his heart: "This Zhang girl's appearance is not under Xuan Rui, she is pure and jade, and she is more shy than Wei Rui."

Zhang Tongyun was originally very afraid of seeing the living, but when he met Ding Youwei for the first time, You Ran felt amiable, and said in his heart: "Wei Rui is right, Chen Zizhong's sister-in-law is really beautiful and virtuous." The voice said softly: "Sister-in-law, I went back to Wu County this time to see Wei Rui, Xuan Rui said that at the end of October, my sister-in-law went to visit her, and she was overjoyed when she said it, and she heard that I was coming to Chenjiawu, and Wei Rui was very envious." ”

Ding Youshu asked about the current situation of 6 Xuanrui, and because Zhang Tongyun came from Jiankang, she asked about the affairs of the Han Mansion? Zhang Tongyun was not very clear about the dispute between 6 Gong and Chen Caozhi in Huiji, but said: "Wei Rui's father is very good to Chen Langjun, and my aunt is also grateful to Chen Langjun, my aunt will give birth in March next year, and Wei Rui will have a younger brother or sister by then." ”

Of course, Chen Caozhi would not tell his sister-in-law Ding Youji that he had treated infertility for Mrs. 6, but Xiaochan said it all in 1510, Ding Youwei shook his head and laughed when he heard it, Xiaolang can actually cure infertility, Xiaolang himself is still a teenager, and it makes people laugh when they think about it! With lunch, Ding Yi, Ding Chunqiu and his son rushed back to Ding's villa in Jiangbei, Chen Tan and Ding Huilan's marriage has been preliminarily agreed, next spring will be Nacai, the gift of asking for names Xu Zao father and son and Gu Kaizhi and his wife will stay in Chenjiawu, Liu Shangwei will naturally not return to Liujiabao, friends get together, if it is not for the early tomorrow morning to rush to attend the wedding of Ding Chunqiu and the whole girl, Gu Weizhi must be going to chant poetry all night, he has been chanting wonderful poems in the past half a year, but tonight I have to give up, only talk about calligraphy and painting with Chen Caozhi, and watch the "Dongshan Xingle Map" He Zongzhi's "Boat Map", Run'er's "Fishing Map", Zhang Tongyun learned from 6 Weirui how smart and cute Run'er is, when I see it today, it is really famous to meet, this ice carved jade girl is so pleasing, and the painting drawn by the ten-year-old is very charming, the wind is Chuchu One by one month twentieth, the sky is bright, Chen Jiawu more than ten ox carts came out, Chen Xian, Chen Man, Chen Caozhi, and Ding Youhui mother and son, as well as Xu Zao father and son, Gu Kaizhi and his wife, Liu Shangwei, Together with more than 30 servants, they went to Ding's Manor in the eastern suburbs of Qiantang County, Run'er took two doses of Xiao Chai Hu Tang, the fever had subsided, and naturally refused to stay in Chenjiawu, and wanted to follow, because she was still taking medicine, some foods were not to be eaten, and it was not suitable to participate in the wedding banquet, so Chen Caozhi let her stay in Chenjiawu to rest, since she was bitten by a sick dog on the 16th, it has been four days, Xiaochan has not appeared vomiting, nausea, fear of water and mania, Chen Caozhi is a little relieved, after all, those who are bitten by rabies may not be sick, and he treated Xiaochan in time, It shouldn't be a big deal.

His brother Ding Licheng came back from Yizhou this time, Ding Licheng is the county commander of Wuyang County, Qianwei County, Yizhou, because of the inconvenient transportation, it takes half a year to go back and forth, so he has not returned to his hometown for more than four years, this time he came back mainly to visit his sister Ding Youwei, and did not know about the marriage of his younger brother Ding Chunqiu, just in time for his meeting, Ding Licheng and his uncle Ding Yi are not very harmonious, but this time back, now his uncle Ding Yi's attitude is very different, he is very enthusiastic about him, Yizhou Road is far away from the mountains, Wuyang is a remote county, Ding Licheng has not heard of Chen Caozhi, Five days ago, Ding Licheng and his wife went to Chenjiawu to visit Ding Youwei, and saw that although Ding Youwei was widowed, but the county was quite comfortable, which made Ding Licheng very relieved, and asked about Zongzhi and Run'er, saying that he was with his uncle Chen Caozhi in Shanyin, and would return in the near future. The dowry purchased for the beloved daughter is ten hectares of fertile land, twenty servants, and countless other daily utensils.

The day after the wedding, Gu Kaizhi and Zhang Tongyun and his wife said goodbye and returned to Wu County, it was already the twenty-first day of the lunar month, and they must rush back to Zhang Mansion in Wu County before Chinese New Year's Eve, so they can't delay more, as for Kong Wang's wedding in the first month of the first month of next year, Gu Kaizhi can't participate, and then he will send a steward to Shanyin to send congratulatory gifts.

Chen Caozhi, Ding Chunqiu, Xu Miao, and Liu Shangzhi sent Gu Kaizhi back to Wu County, sending one ride after another, Ding Youwei also sat in Zhang Tongyun's carriage and said goodbye to Zhang Tongyun, Zhang Tongyun remembered something and asked Ding Youwei: "Sister-in-law, when will Chen Lang enter Beijing next year?" ”

Ding Youwei said: "Huan Da Sima has a letter to come, and he wants to rush to the West Mansion in the first half of next year, so Xiaolang will set off on the sixteenth day of the first month at the latest." ”

Zhang Tongyun said: "Okay, I'll go back and tell Wei Rui and ask her to wait for Chen Langjun to enter Beijing together in Wu County around February 20." ”

Ding Youao was pleasantly surprised: "Will Wei Rui also enter Beijing next year?" ”

Zhang Tongyun said: "Yes, isn't my aunt going to give birth in March next year, so she wants to take Xue Rui into the capital, originally let 6 Gong accompany Wei Rui at the end of the first month of next year, but somehow 6 Gong has no time to enter Jiankang "When Gu Lang and I went out of Beijing, my aunt and Xiao 6 Shangshu asked me and Gu Lang to enter Beijing with Wei Rui next year, and there was a response, so that Chen Langjun and Wei Rui could go all the way and have a period of time together."

Ding Youhui was very happy, and after saying goodbye to Zhang Fuyun, he told Chen Caozhi about it, Chen Caozhi was overjoyed and said: "6 Gong has gone to Beijing at the beginning of this month, of course, he will not go back to Huating to pick up Xuanrui.

On this day, Qiantang County ordered Feng Mengxiong to feast Xu Zao's father and son and Chen's people, Feng Lingbo is eight months pregnant, and will give birth at the end of the first month, Xu Lang and Xu Miao father and son will leave Qiantang after Feng Lingbo gives birth, Xu Miao is the literary Peng of Wuling County, Jingzhou, which is an idle position, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty officials are relaxed, so it is not surprising that Xu Miao took a three-month vacation.

On the evening of the 22nd, the Chen family returned to Chenjiawu, and when they entered the gate of Wuwu Fort, they could hear the cry of a baby, and everyone was stunned at first, and Ah Xiu was surprised: "It's Qingzhi, Sister Qingzhi has given birth!" ”

The chubby Zeng Yuhuan smiled and said, "Yes, Qingzhi is born, and the master is Hongfu, add a man?" _, mother and child are safe. ”

This Laifu family is really prosperous, Laifu gave birth to three sons, three sons and four grandchildren, but the granddaughter did not.

Laide walked out and shouted: "Xiao Langjun Yiyi" didn't know what to say, he smiled from ear to ear, and was very honest.

Ding Youwei had a heavy relationship with Qingzhi's master and servant, and was very happy when he heard this, so he went to visit Qingzhi's mother and son, and then prepared gifts to give them.

Since Ge Hong went to Luofu Mountain, Chen Jiawu will send money, food and incense and candles to the first balcony Taoist courtyard during the New Year's holiday, after Ge Hongxian died, Li Shouyi presided over the Taoist courtyard, Li Shouyi spoke up in the Chen family Zhantian case, and the Chen clan was very grateful, so the money and goods sent before the Chinese New Year were doubled, and the first balcony Taoist was equal to the Taoist courtyard of the Chen family.

Ge Hong and Xu Zao's father Xu Chengzhi is an old friend, now Ge Hong has passed away, Xu Zao still wants to go to the first balcony of the gem mountain to hang, on the 25th Xu Zao, Xu Miao father and son came to Chenjiawu, the next day accompanied by Chen Caozhi and Liu Shangzhi, and Chen's three ox carts with utensils. Fortunately, I worshiped the first balcony of the Gem Mountain 20 miles away, but I saw the several guns and ears planted by Ge Hong in front of the Sanqing Palace, or the white-petaled astragalus, or the red-petaled astragalus, the plum trunk is gray-black, and the flowers are thousands of flowers, and the dark fragrance floats one by one, Chen Caozhi clearly remembers the scene when the Ge Shi who was like snow and his waist straight asked him under the ancient pine in front of the Taoist Academy, and he couldn't help but feel sad, and asked in his heart: "My life is in my absence, and I will become a gold for hundreds of millions of years. ”

The two main women entered Beijing on the same road, it was really difficult to manage, and it was even more difficult to be a small road, so hard!
