At the end of the day, noon is approaching, the sky is slightly cold rain, the rain silk is obliquely woven, the dark clouds hang low, the sky is as dark as twilight, the camellia of Zhenqing Taoist Temple is scorching and bright in the cold rain, the world praises the proud snow of plum blossoms, but they don't know that the camellia also has the posture of frost.

Lu Weirui was wearing a black lamb fur, waiting quietly on the corridor of the Sanqing Palace, her snow-white face was lined with black lamb fur, and her lips were faintly red, with a bright color.

The little maid stomped her feet and said: "It's cold today, it's raining, Chen Langjun is afraid that he won't come, and he arrived at our house yesterday - or, let someone call him." ”

Lu Weirui said: "You don't have to call, wait a while, if you don't come, let's go and see the flowers, isn't the cold rain camellia picture beautiful?" ”

A Lu Mansion servant walked in quickly and said, "Chen Langjun has arrived. ”

After a while, I saw Chen Caozhi's feet stepping on the high-toothed clogs, holding an oil-paper umbrella, and coming calmly, with some rain marks on the hem of the robe, and said with a smile: "The lady is early." ”

Lu Weirui smiled: "I don't say that I am late, but I am early, is it a strong word?" ”

Chen Caozhi put away the oil-paper umbrella under the porch and said, "Look, now that the rain has stopped, wouldn't it be just right for me to come?" ”

The little maid "Gege" smiled and said: "Chen Langjun, will God help you, if it is still raining, what do you say?" ”

Chen Caozhi smiled and didn't answer, but asked Lu Weirui: "Did you bring the camellia painted by Weirui Niangzi, let me appreciate it first." ”

Lu Weirui's face flushed slightly, and said, "You want to see how ugly I paint, right, okay, I'll be ugly." ”

The short hoe took out a scroll of drawings from the ox cart and came down, Chen Caozhi and Lu Weirui came to the left wing of the Sanqing Palace, knelt down and sat down next to the case, Chen Caozhi unfolded Lu Weirui's sketch to see, but saw that it was also the "Ruixue" that was also painted, and couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Lu Weirui and said with a smile: "This is really smelly, it coincides." ”

Lu Weirui smiled sweetly and said: "Originally, I was going to paint that 'big purple robe', but unfortunately the two best flowers were picked by the sixth brother who spoiled the scenery, so I painted 'Ruixue', and I also knew that you would paint Ruixue-"

Chen Caozhi smiled: "I understand, you saw me looking around Ruixue for a long time that day, right?" You want to compete with me-" He looked down at the Ruixue camellia painted by Lu Weirui, and sighed: "It turns out that yesterday Weirui Lady refused to take out the painting, in order to save face for me in front of the envoy, my clumsy work is just a separate look, if it is put together with the lady's picture, it will be dwarfed." ”

Lu Weirui smiled and said: "How come, no one dares to despise Chen Langjun's paintings, I have studied painting for three years, and I am only a little more skilled than you, you will soon be able to surpass me." ”

Chen Cao smiled and asked: "I will hand in the draft on the 19th of next month, and Mrs. Wei Rui should be able to paint another one, do you have any ideas?" ”

Lu Weirui said, "I was about to ask you." ”

Chen Caozhi said: "The picture of the cold rain camellia is good, the rain and the cold flowers are gorgeous, which responds to the painting of 'big purple robe'." ”

The little maid clapped her hands and said: "Ah, the cold rain camellia picture, my little lady said the same thing, little lady, you told Chen Langjun yesterday, didn't you?" ”

Lu Weirui responded: "Yes." His eyes looked at Chen Caozhi, and his delicate face was slightly red.

The two of them took advantage of the rain break, went up the mountain to visit the camellia again, and discussed how to draw the picture of the cold rain camellia.

Chen Caozhi and Ran Sheng walked towards Xu's Thatched Cottage, and Ran Sheng said: "Xiao Langjun, just now there was a person who probed his brain outside the Dao Courtyard, and he was glared at by me before leaving. ”

Chen Caozhi said "um", and said in his heart: "Then the spy must have gone to report Chu Chenglang, how will Chu Chenglang spread this rumor?" With Lu's prestige, Chu Jian would not dare to spread rumors, he should have intentionally let many people see me and Lu Weirui together, so that such rumors would seem to have a reason and be conclusive, I think, the Zhenqing Daoist Academy in three days will be very lively. ”

……

Three days passed quickly, three o'clock on this day, Chen Caozhi first went to the Zhenqing Taoist Academy, and the white-haired Taoist master Li Daoren chatted, the Li Yuan master learned that Chen Caozhi was Ge Zhichuan's disciple, and couldn't help but be in awe, ask for some alchemy, Chen Caozhi can also answer.

After a while, Lu Weirui and the little maid arrived with a short hoe, sat together and talked about the flowers in the back mountain, and listened to the noisy sound outside the courtyard gate, and several ox carts came one after another. ”

Li Daoren was stunned, and before he could answer, Chu Jian was so sharp-eyed that he saw Chen Caozhi, and said loudly: "Isn't this Qian Tang Chen Caozhi, who is extremely appreciated by the Quan Chang Servant and praised by Lu Envoy?" He arched his hand to the left and right: "Everyone-everyone, in the past, you asked Chu Mouqian Tang Chen Caozhi what kind of person he was?" Now I see it, this is the first class person in my Qian Tang Hanmen, handsome, known as Jiang Zuo Weiju's Chen Caozhi, calligraphy, music are considerable, Jiang Zuo's first Huan joined the army and gave Ke Tingdi to him. ”

Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "Chu Chenglang has won the award, Jiang Zuo Weiju, how dare you deserve this honor." ”

Chu Jian, a fellow villager, is simply highly respectful of Chen Caozhi, Wu County officials, scholars and celebrities more than a dozen pairs of eyes looked at Chen Caozhi together, seeing that this beautiful young man in front of the palace has eyebrows like ink paintings, eyes like paint, standing upright, and excellent demeanor, really living up to the reputation of Jiang Zuo Weiji, since Lu Taishou and Chu Chenglang have such elegance, they don't despise Chen Caozhi because of his poor background, they naturally appreciate Chen Caozhi——

Chu Jian's eyes were sharp, and he saw Lu Weirui again, and exclaimed: "Isn't this Lu Zhijun's beloved daughter Wei Rui's little lady, you, how can you be with Chen Caozhi?" ”

Lu Weirui was not as panicked or shy as Chu Jian thought, and gave him a salute and said: "My father is going to hold a collection of flowers and trees in the winter moon of Wu County, I came here to enjoy the camellia and prepare to paint it, and the same is true for this Chen Langjun." ”

At this time, a person outside the hall shouted: "Zizhong, Zizhong-"

Chen Caozhi hurriedly stepped up to meet him, and said, "Brother Changkang, has the guard arrived?" ”

The person who came was Gu Kaizhi, and it was the Wei Association who walked with the staff beside him, Gu Kaizhi: "Zizhong, you go fast, leaving me and Wei Shi behind." ”

Wu County officials, scholars and celebrities have many acquaintances with Gu Kaizhi and Wei Xie, and they have stepped forward to greet each other, and learned that Wei and Gu are also here to enjoy the camellia and prepare to participate in Lu Zhijun's flower and wood painting collection, all of them are happy, and they all say that this is a beautiful thing, and it should be held, and they learned that Chen Caozhi is a disciple of the Wei Association, and Chen Caozhi looked at Chen Caozhi's height, and invited them to go up the mountain to enjoy the flowers together, laughing and scolding the rumors that it is nonsense to say that there are big pots of colorful camellias, and someone asked Chu Chenglang who he heard the rumors?

Chu Jian also scolded a few rumors, Zhi Wu past, he was so depressed, he didn't know that Lu Taishou was going to hold a flower and wood painting collection, and he didn't expect that the famous Wei Xie and Gu Kaizhi would appear here, now no one will put Chen Caozhi and Lu Weirui together to think about things, look at those Wu County officials, scholars and celebrities, all of them have a cordial conversation with Chen Caozhi, Chen Caozhi is also constantly witty, admired by these people.

Today's events, instead of ruining Chen Caozhi's reputation, have made Chen Caozhi's reputation famous, which Chu Jian never expected.
