Upper grade Hanshi volume 2 affectionate [VIP]
and the sixteenth day of the first month of the first year. It was sunny for days. The weather is warm and spring. The snow on the roads has long since melted. Only in the shade where the sun can't get it. There is also white remnant snow that attracts children to step on a few feet.
It was early in the morning. Five ox carts drove out of the heavy gate of the Dock Ring. Chen Caozhi's trip to Jiankang began. Accompanied by Ran Shenglai, Huang Xiaotong and Xiaochan. There were also two ox cart drivers. One surname is Tian and the other is Song.
Chen Shang went back and forth to Jiankang many times. I am familiar with the scenery of Kyochu. This time, I also accompanied Chen Cao. With a servant and a coachman.
Sitting in the other two ox carts was Ding Youwei Yan Axiu. There are also Zongzhi and Run'er. Ding Youwei took two children to see off Xiaolang. By the way, I went to Ding's villa to greet my uncle Ding Yi for the New Year. Nowadays, Ding and Chen have a close relationship. Ding Youwei will no longer be like before, and her husband's family and mother's family can only choose one
This is the first time Chen Caozhi has gone far since his mother's death. I went to Kure County twice before. His mother took Zongzhi and Run'er to send him to the small pine forest three miles away from Wuwu Fort. Then he stood by the side of the road and watched his son go away—
Time passes, years wash. The pale and kind figure of his mother became more and more vivid in Chen Caozhi's heart. Look back. Jiuyao = cut off his view. I can't see the lush short pines planted by his hands in the Jade Emperor Mountain Cemetery. Strong emotions suddenly surged in my heart. He was going to say goodbye to his mother's grave again. Although he passed yesterday. But the mood at this time is particularly urgent. Today is a real long trip. He must sue his mother-
Chen Caozhi said to his sister-in-law Ding Youwei: "Sister-in-law." I'll go to my mother's tomb again. Slow down. I'll catch up soon - Xiao Sheng. Walk. "Turn around and go. Ran Sheng took the bag he was carrying diagonally and hurried towards the little cow in a big stride. The two of them walked extremely fast. Wait for Ding Youxiao to get off the ox cart. I saw that Xiao Lang and Ran Sheng had already turned the square dock fort under construction.
Xiao said to Ding Youwei: "Lady." Then I'll go and say goodbye to the old man. ”
Ding Youwei shook his head and said, "Xiaolang and Sheng Jijian." We can't catch up. Sixteen miles will come and go, and if we go. I couldn't cross the river that morning. ”
And they waited on the road. About half an hour later, I saw Chen Caozhi and Ran Sheng rushing back. Hurry up. A layer of fine sweat broke out on his fair-skinned and handsome face. To the crowd, "All right." Let's get out. ”
I took out my silk handkerchief and wanted to hand it to Xiaolang Jun to wipe his sweat. But seeing that the young lady had already pinched a clean silk handkerchief in her hand and said, "Xiaolang." Wipe off the sweat. Go to the car and sit in the car, don't blow the cold wind anymore. ”
Ox carts wheeled along. The tenants and employees in the Chen family's manor all knew that Xiao Langjun set off for Jiankang today. Threes and threes stood on the side of the road to see off Xiao Langjun. These simple farmers are truly grateful to Chen's little Langjun. Chen Caozhi's ox cart came over. These farmers either bow or do. There are those who are alive and will say two happy words. If I wish Cao Zhixiao Langjun an early marquis, worship the prime minister, and return the brocade clothes. Chen Caozhi got out of the car and replied one by one.
The road from Chenjiawu to Fenglin Ferry has been completely renovated and widened, with drainage trenches on both sides of hard soil. On rainy days, the roads will not accumulate cement and it will be difficult to walk.
Before the pine forest forging. Virtue stood there melancholy. In the past, Xiao Langjun took him and Xiao Sheng with him when he went out, but this time he was the only one left. Honest and foolish, he didn't know what to say to Xiao Langjun, but he just held Ran Sheng's -
Ran Sheng smiled and said, "Do you want to go to Jiankang with Xiao Langjun?" Then hurry back and ask Sister Qing. We're slowing down, waiting for you—"
Ding Youwei lifted the curtains. Said angrily: "Xiao Sheng." Don't make fun of Laide! ”
Chen Caozhi: "Come to Germany." Come with me next year. In place of your second brother. Lyde nodded vigorously. followed Chen Shang, Chen Jingnu and others who saw them off to Fenglin Ferry. But I saw hundreds of people gathered at the ferry. Ran Sheng exclaimed: "There are so many people crossing the river today!" ”
Chen Shang said with a smile: "The head of the family on the south bank of this capital has come to see off the sixteenth brother." I'm wondering. Why is Chen Jiawu so deserted today. I used to gather here. ”
Almost all the heads of the Shu clan on the south bank of the Qiantang River, headed by Liu Shangwei's father, Patriarch Liu, arrived. After waiting for more than an hour. Chen Caozhi arrived. Let's catch it together. The words of blessing the heroic deeds are full of ears.
Patriarch Liu entrusted Chen Caozhi with two big burdens to take to Jiankang and handed them over to Liu Shangwei. Because of the long distance. Liu Shang did not come back during the New Year's Festival.
Chen Caozhi sent everyone off one by one. Then board the ferry. Since last year. A large four-foot-and-six-foot boat was added to the Maple Grove Ferry. It is convenient for the north and south sides of the strait. Now it's three ships, two large and one small. Chen Cao and his entourage of five cars and more than ten people crossed the river at one time
The one-armed Jing slave nodded to Ran Sheng.
The ferry leaves the south shore. Chen Caozhi stood in Zhoutou to say goodbye to the clansmen and villagers. until you reach the North Shore. I still see that the crowd on the other side of the river has not dispersed.
The clear and handsome Zongzhi suddenly said, "Ugly uncle." We can't let you go. ”
Zong Zhi had long known that Chen Cao was going to travel far away. Jiankang is farther away than Wu County. The twelve-year-old boy didn't say anything. But attachment is always revealed. Run'er didn't speak all the way. At this time, I heard Brother say this. The mouth is flattened. Bright tears are about to fall. But he held back his tears. said, "Brother." I
Poetry—"
The little brother and sister feel each other. Recite in unison:
"There are strange trees in the court. Leafy Bloom.
Strip to its glory. It will be filled with the fragrance of the remains. There is no way to go.
How expensive are things. But don't go through time."
……
The north shore of the Maple Grove Ferry. Chen Caozhi hugged the pair of nieces and nephews in his arms. said: "Uncle Ugly has been out for a long time this time. Listen to your mother-in-law. To study every day no. Be careful not to fall when you climb the mountain—"
The two children nodded with tears in their eyes.
Chen Caozhi said again: "Zong Zhi and Run'er's "Lao Tzu Note" have been read. Good understanding. This year, I started reading "Zhuangzi" and "Zuo's Spring and Autumn". Uncle Ugly's reading notes are all left there. If you have any problems, go and look at them. Basically, you can find the answer. Zong Zhi can go to Wu County with Uncle Tan next year to ask Dr. Xu for advice——"
After a pause, Chen Caozhi continued: "Run'er's "Cao Quanbei" has been on the verge for two years. No need to practice this post anymore. A post is easy to wear out the aura after practicing for a long time. Later, it will be changed to "Xiyue Huashan Temple Tablet". "Huashan Tablet" can practice the pen. Soyuki also practiced together. As for the kind of book style that trains the ugly uncle, as well as Wang Youjun's "Lanting Collection Preface", you can do it. Xie Anshi's is also excellent. Don't practice when you're interested. Later, Uncle Ugly will come back to see you enter the country. ”
The two children nodded incessantly. Eye-let-let's flow down.
Chen Caozhi wiped his tears from Zong Zhi and Run'er. An Dao: "Don't cry...... Uncle Ugly taught you to sing a tune—"
“。” The two children were a little happier.
Chen Caozhi sang: "Outside the long pavilion. The side of the ancient road. The grass is green, the evening breeze blows, and the willow flute is remnant. Sunset Mountain Outer Mountain ......"
It is outside the east gate of Qiantang County. Zongzhi and Run'er sang this song to see off Uncle Ugly. Ding Mei's eyes were full of tears. Looking at Xiao Lang, he smiled and said goodbye to Feng Xianling's uncle, Ding Yi and others. There was a throbbing pain in my heart.
Xiaochan also came over to say goodbye. Ding Youwei only said: "Xiaochan." Take care of him—" I couldn't go on.
Run'er said to Ran Sheng: "Xiao Sheng." Protect my ugly uncle and don't let anyone hurt my ugly uncle. ”
He is 16 years old this year. Ran Sheng, who was up to eight feet in the waist and short knife, bowed and agreed: "Yes." ”
Run'er said again: "Alas, Xiaosheng. Your beard is still growing."
Ran Sheng touched Lian's cheek stubble. I'm so scared.
……
Chen Caozhi and Chen Shang and his entourage of three ox carts arrived at Yu-lodge after dark for a total of ten days. The innkeeper recognized Chen Caozhi three years ago, Chen Caozhi and Liu Shangzhi went to Wu County to pass through Yuhang, and rested at the inn at home. That night, the grass on the courtyard wall caught fire, and Liu Shangwei hurriedly hugged the unsheltered Jiao out-
Chen Caozhi is now a famous left. In the second county of Wu County, it is even more well-known, and the innkeeper is so good-looking, he hurriedly ordered the shop guys to prepare wine and food. The beds are replaced with clean bedding. With dinner. Prepare hot water for Chen Caozhi and others to bathe.
Chen Caozhi bathed. Xiaochan was waiting on the side. Chen Caozhi was a little uncomfortable. said: "Little sister." I'm used to bathing myself. You don't need to serve. Go wash yourself. Xiao Chan pursed her lips and smiled: "Didn't the lady order me to come out with Xiao Langjun to serve Xiao Langjun." And it's not the first time I've taken a bath with Xiao Langjun. ”
Chen Caozhi didn't say more. Disbanded by the Xiaochan Gang. Only when undressing. Xiao will still blush and avoid it for a while.
The inn room is Chen Shang'an's. Xiaochan and Chen Caozhi share a room. Chen Caozhi didn't say anything at the time. In the eyes of Chen Shang and others. Xiaochan is his personal maid. It is a very normal thing to have a room with. In addition, the upper class rooms are inside and outside. There is a bed.
While on the go. Chen Caozhi's long-term habit of reading at night has not changed. After bathing, he sat in front of the small desk and sharpened the ink and copied the book. I want to recopy my "Lao Tzu Xinyi" and "Ming Shenghu Treatise on Xuanji". The manuscript was sent to Xie Xuan. The two books at hand were copied by the scribe of the Qiantang County Ya. The words are not very good-looking. After arriving in Jiankang, I want to use these two books as stepping stones. So it has to be heavy.
Xiaochan was alone outside to freshen up. Listen to the sound of Xiaolang grinding ink and laying paper in the middle. She gently scrubbed her plump porcelain body. The happiness in my heart is like a lotus cover with droplets, dripping and turning. It's like sitting on an ox cart and can't stop. Sorrow is quiet. Happiness is impetuous.
Xiaochan baths. Open the door and ask the shopkeeper to carry the tub away. She put the clothes that Xiao Langjun and herself had changed into in a wooden basin and took them to the well in the backyard of the inn to wash. The guest was a washerwoman who did the laundry for the guests. Pay separately. Xiaochan is willing to wash it herself. I washed it for half an hour. The fluttering heart quieted down. Straighten up and stand by the well railing to take a look. There was a moon in the well that shook slightly. Look up. The silver platter-like moon is already in the center of the sky. It's the end of the day and the beginning of the hour. It's time to serve Xiao Langjun and rest. I have to hurry up early in the morning.
