Chen Caozhi's mount "Zidian" and Ran Sheng's big white horse were transported to Jiankang with the ship, and two of Chen's private soldiers led the horses over, and Chen Caozhi and Ran Sheng got on their horses in front of the Gu Mansion Gate-

Xiaochan chased out with a burden and said, "Xiao Langjun brought a birthday gift for the 6 little ladies." ”

Chen Caozhi took the burden and tied it to the back saddle and said, "Take my Ke Ting flute." ”

Huang Xiaotong ran and took the wooden box containing Ke Tingdi, Chen Caozhi tied the wooden box firmly on the back saddle with silk silk, and arched his hand to Gu Kaizhi: "Changkang, I will come back tomorrow, if someone visits me, I will entertain on my behalf." ”

Gu Kaizhi said: "Why do you need to order this-the 6 clan team set off the day before yesterday, and now it must have passed, and Jurong Zizhong should be able to catch up with Qu'a." ”

Chen Caozhi responded and beat his horse to Qingxi Gate, and met Chen Shang in Yuan City, Chen Shang jumped off the ox cart and asked in surprise: "Where is the sixteenth brother?" ”

Chen Caozhi said: "Hurry up and send 6 little ladies a ride." ”

Chen Shang naturally knew that 6 Wei Rui was forced to leave Jiankang, so he sighed and said, "The Sixteenth Brother Huiji King invited you to the dinner." ”

Chen Caozhi said: "Please apologize to King Huiji on my behalf, and I will come back tomorrow to visit King Huiji." ”

Chen Caozhi nodded and said, "Then good sixteenth brother, go quickly, be careful on the way back, don't be too tired." ”

Watching Chen Caozhi and Ran Sheng ride around Yuan City, Chen Shang got into the ox cart at this time, he originally went back to the mansion to see the sixteenth brother, but now he doesn't have to go back for the time being. Instructed the coachman to go back to Situ Mansion and said: "When I entered Jiankang with Mrs. 6 with my sixteenth brother at the beginning of the year, I saw that Mrs. 6 was quite kind to the sixteenth brother, and I thought that the 6th brother could really accept the sixteenth brother, but now it seems that the marriage between my Qian Tang Chen family and the 6th family of Wujun is impossible, the hope is too slim, with the beginning of the 6th brother's decision, it is difficult to see 6 Weirui in the future, let alone the marriage!" But the sixteenth brother is arrogant and arrogant, and he has to marry a girl from the 6th family, so I'm really worried that the sixteenth brother's marriage will not go well and collapse! ”

At this time, it was about the beginning of noon, and Chen Caozhi and Ran Sheng galloped out of twenty miles in one go. Seeing a fine layer of sweat on the shiny fur of the horse, the two slowed down the reins and let the horses jog. Bypassing Meilong Town in the direction of Jurong, at the end of Shen, I arrived at Jurong, a hundred miles away. When I went to the largest inn in the county, I inquired about the people of the 6th clan, who rested here last night and left early this morning-

Chen Cao entered the capital with Mrs. 6 at the beginning of the year, and also lived in this inn, the owner of the inn recognized this handsome Chen Gongzi was very enthusiastic, Chen Caozhi asked the store guy to pull two horses to feed the beans, he and Ran Sheng asked for a few vegetarian dishes, and after a short rest after the meal, they wanted to continue to chase the 6 convoy.

The shopkeeper persuaded: "Chen Gongzi, this day is gloomy, I'm afraid of heavy rain, it's better to rest in the shop for a night, and then hurry tomorrow." ”

At this time, twilight was falling, and the clouds were thick in the sky, which was indeed a sign of heavy rain.

Chen Caozhi borrowed two pairs of rain gear from the shopkeeper and left Jurong County in the twilight and galloped towards Qu'a County. Taking advantage of the fact that the sky is not yet dark, galloping Jurong County is more than 50 miles away from Qu'a County, and the 6-clan convoy will definitely stay in Qu'a at dusk from Jurong this morning.

The horse's hooves rise and fall, his body is bumpy, and his heart also rises and falls, Chen Caozhi has never been so eager to see 6 Weirui as he is today, calm and elegant, now he can be thrown aside, he is just a passer-by who wants to chase his beloved, he wants to grasp the beauty of this world and not let himself regret it.

When the sky was completely dark, Chen Caozhi and Ran Sheng had galloped out for more than 20 miles, and the horses were tired, and there were no stars and no moon in the sky, and it was pitch black when they looked out, and they didn't dare to urge the horses to go fast.

Ran Sheng's eyes were good, and he rode his horse in front of him, so he could hear the thunder rumbling in the sky, thinking that the heavy rain was about to pour down, and the two of them put on rain hats, put on their robes, and led the horses on foot, and walked for more than ten miles, but they heard the "rustle" sound of trees and grass leaves, and the heavy rain swept from east to west, like a curtain, and opened for a while, and the heavy rain shrouded Chen Caozhi and Ran Sheng——

This is a heavy rain, so that the two night pedestrians can't tell the road ahead, such a thunderstorm is dangerous, Chen Caozhi said loudly: "Xiao Sheng, let's find a place to shelter from the rain first, wait for the rain to be lighter, and then hurry, I remember that there is a Yanling Jizi Temple near here, we can go there to take shelter from the rain." I touched the burden tied to the back saddle, and secretly praised Xiaochan in my heart, and there was a layer of tung oil cloth wrapped in plane oil cloth outside the burden to be waterproof.

After walking for half a mile, he saw a fork in the road on the left, and Chen Caozhi said, "This is it." "Lead the horse to the fork in the road, about 100 steps, and see the light of the lights in the rain curtain, which is the Yanling Jizi Temple.

Yan Sheng praised: "Brother has a really good memory, and I remember that there is a temple here. ”

Chen Caozhi led the horse to the eaves of the temple and said: "When I came, Mr. Zhang Mo pointed me out, and I didn't enter to pay homage to Yanling Jizi at that time. ”

Yanling Jizi is the fourth son of Wu Wang Shoumeng in the Spring and Autumn Period, Ji Za lived in seclusion in Danyang because he did not want to inherit the throne, and Jizi was talented and proficient in music and dance.

The incense Taoist in Jizi Temple was stunned when they saw Chen Caozhi and Ran Sheng who appeared in the heavy rain, a handsome and majestic one.

After Chen Caozhi visited the statue of Ji Yanling and Ji Zi, he begged for hot tea from the incense Taoist and drank a cup of hot tea, and asked where is the inscription in Confucius's handwriting?

The Taoist replied: "It's just behind the temple, it's dark and inconvenient to look at it, here is a new tablet, do you want to take a look?" So he went and fetched the tablet.

Chen Caoyi saw that the paper was a high-grade jute paper extension that was unique to the 6 Huating Villas, and the ink was also fine, and the ink color was unique, and asked: "This is the extension of the Taoist?" ”

The man said: "In the afternoon, a team of carriages and horses said that it was the people of the 6th clan of Wu County who went to the temple to watch the cross tablet, and this post was a small temple left by a young 6th lady herself. ”

Chen Caozhi was overjoyed, and it turned out that Wei Rui had also been here. This stele is actually Wei Rui's extension, thinking about Wei Rui's father6, so that Jun Hao stele is obsessed, go around a lot of money, collect steles, Jane and calligraphy, some steles, because it is the treasure of the temple, can not be moved back6, so that the king sits and lies under the stele, with his hands stroke by stroke, and then personally extend the post, Wei Rui is really a great father's style.

Looking at the ten seal characters under Wei Rui, as if there was a clear spring and a stone flowing by him, Chen Caozhi's restless heart calmed down wonderfully: Wei Rui has suffered so many grievances and has not changed, and his love for beauty and curiosity has always made him feel the sweetness and preciousness of life when he is with Wei Rui-

Chen Caozhi begged the Taoist to give him this rubbing. Put it away, put it away in the burden, watch the night rain under the eaves, Xiaoxiao saw that the rain couldn't stop for a while, even if it rushed to Qu'a County, 6 Weirui had already rested, so he borrowed the night from the Taoist.

The Taoist said: "There is no bedding in the small temple, and the two of them can spend the night in a village half a mile east from the small temple." ”

Chen Caozhi thanked the aisleman and put on the rain gear. He led the horse to the east with Ran Sheng, and stayed at a rich family in the village for one night, and the next day it was dawn, and he left Yanling Village and came to Qu'a County.

Last night's rain was heavy, the roads were muddy, and the horses galloped all the way through the hoof prints.

In autumn, the grass and trees are green and yellow, and there are many alders in Qu'a County, although the color of the alpine is not as red as the maple tree, but it looks like a dark red flame cluster from a distance.

Although Ma Xing is sick, Chen Caozhi's heart will not be as anxious and angry as yesterday, he is going to a beautiful date!

……

6 and his party lived in the Wanshan Inn in Qu'a County, and the inn was booked and cleaned up the day before, and 6 Weirui lived on the second floor of the inn, and the window was the Jiuqu River.

It rained all night, and some of them thought that they were half-asleep and half-awake, and they fell into a deep sleep in the early morning.

The two personal maids, the short hoe and the hairpin, got up as soon as the morning dawned, and when they saw that the little lady was still sleeping sweetly, they tiptoed to wash.

After a lot of dreams in the morning, she entered a wonderful dream, as if she was on an ox cart. Outside the window, the green mountains and green waters suddenly arrived at Chenjiawu. met Chen's mother, Li's mother, and Li Shici, and asked Ding's sister-in-law to take her to find Chen Caozhi. Ding's sister-in-law walked with her to the foot of Jiuyao Mountain and told her that Chen Caozhi was on the mountain and asked her to find it by herself. She looked for the road to the mountain, but no matter how she walked, she couldn't reach the top of the mountain, and she didn't know where Chen Caozhi was? I was in a little anxious, and when I heard the sound of a flute drifting down from the top of the mountain, I couldn't help but feel happy, and I struggled to climb the mountain with my skirt -

At this time, she suddenly woke up 6, and Wei Rui knew that she had dreamed of Chen Langjun again, but unfortunately she woke up before she met this time, and she was a little melancholy, but she heard the sound of the flute in the dream still lingering by the pillow.

6, Wei Rui's eyes widened and she listened for a moment, sat up suddenly, ran to the window barefoot, and ran to the window with broken steps, and she didn't see the long man playing the recorder on the bank of the Jiuqu River and under the alder tree, wasn't it the Chen Langjun she thought about day and night!

6, Wei Rui was so happy that she wanted to jump up, I don't know how Chen Caozhi appeared here early in the morning. Last night it rained heavily, and it was amazing. She saw that Chen Caozhi hadn't seen her yet, so she didn't make a sound, staring at her eyes and quietly listening to Chen Caozhi's song After blowing this song, three years ago, she listened to Chen Caozhi on the top of Jiuyao Mountain, and she had a lingering and deep love, which Chen Langjun played for her-

Ran Sheng had already noticed the window on the second floor of the inn and saw the delicate face of the 6 little ladies. reminded him: "Brother 6, the little lady is watching you." ”

Chen Caozhi raised his eyes and met 6 Weirui's eyes, tenderness and sweetness were endless.

6, Wei Rui motioned to Chen Caozhi to wait for her in the lower reaches of the Jiuqu River, she hurriedly freshened up, went downstairs, and said to her brother 6 that she wanted to go to the Jiuqu River behind the inn for a walk, and then saw that the okra on the shore was very beautiful upstairs.

6 said: "I'll accompany Sister Rui." ”

6 Wei Rui said: "Thank you, fifth brother, I want to walk alone for a while." ”

6 Yu said: "Then the good sister will come back early and we will leave at the right time." ”
