, under the frozen color, Chen Shang, Chen Cao! , Tu Chiqian and the private soldiers of the Xiang clan more than ten people out of Langzheng, riding horses to the north of the city in the direction of Hengtang, Chen Caozhi to go to the Gu Mansion to visit Gu Minzhi, since entering Jiankang in February last year, he and the third brother Chen Shang are borrowed to live in the Gu Mansion, the Gu Mansion is very friendly, Chen built the house on the bank of the Qinhuai River The East Garden has been completed two months ago, but Gu Minzhi still left Chen Shang to live in the Gu Mansion, said that it is not too late to wait for Chen Caozhi to return from the envoy, and then take the female dependents from Qian Tang into the capital and then move to a new house. But Chen Caozhi came back this time with too many entourages, Ran Sheng had twenty sergeants, Shen Chiqian had sixteen private soldiers and several servants, and Ding Licheng's family of nine people, although the Gu Mansion was big, it couldn't accommodate so many people. Therefore, Ran Sheng had already taken his sergeants to the East Garden first, bought Jian Dao bedding, and borrowed two cooks and two stove maids from the Gu Mansion to cook in the East Garden

Gu Minzhi was very happy to see Chen Caozhi, that is, he arranged for the kitchen to prepare wine and food for hospitality, and Ding Licheng was also left at the Gu Mansion dinner, and during the banquet, Gu Minzhi inevitably asked about the situation of the envoy to the north. Chen Caozhi only said that it was difficult to defeat Dou Yi in debate, Qin Qunru in the battle of words, and the matter of taking advantage of the contradiction between Murong Ke and Murong Ping in Hancheng to get out of trouble, and the rest were kept secret, after all, the fewer people knew about those things and rumors, the better, otherwise once the news leaked. Knowing that Qin and Yan's spies knew about it, the Northern Expedition's plan was very likely to fail

Gu Minzhi talked about Lu Oak again, and the implication was that he was worried about Chen Caozhi, and he was stunned to know that Sima Yu, the king of Langya, had promised not to be guilty of this matter, Gu Minzhi showed his face and said: "It is very important for the king of Langya!" ”

Chen Caozhi sent two pieces of purple skins and some products from Guanzhong and Hebei to Gu Minzhi, Gu Minzhi

Accept.

For Zhang Tongyun, Chen Caozhi is very grateful, if it weren't for Zhang Tongyun's help and her companionship, that day would be much more difficult, Chen Caozhi asked Xiaochan to send Xiaogu's wife Zhang Tongyun two pieces of purple skin, twenty pieces of North Pearl, and Qin Qin's brocade silk silk

Chen Shang and Chen Caozhi's brothers still lived in the Gu Mansion, Ding Licheng's family also stayed, and Shen Chishu took his private soldiers and servants to the East Garden of the Chen Mansion to rest the night.

It is still the small courtyard of the independent door, the wooden building in the shape of a zigzag, Ding Licheng's family and the servants of a total of nine people have been arranged to live in the east wing, Chen Shang moved to the west wing and lived next door to Chen Caozhi, Chen Caozhi first went to visit Huang Xiaotong and another sergeant with a broken arm, the broken arm of the two has been connected by Qin Xiong, a famous doctor in Jiankang orthopedics, wrapped in a smelly wound medicine, on a splint, the left arm is temporarily unable to move, Ran Sheng sent a sergeant to wait for Huang Xiaotong and the two white falcons

Chen Caozhi comforted Huang Xiaotong and the sergeant a few words, then went back to the room to write a letter to the fourth uncle and sister-in-law Ding Youwei to report safety, and said that he would return to Qiantang in November, and then pick up the third sister-in-law Wang and the prostitute Ding Youwei and others into the capital, Chen Shang also wrote a letter on the other side of the bookcase, Xiaochan knelt and sat on the side to spread paper and ink and wait, looking at Chen Caozhi happily. A heart is jumping and happy

Laide smiled and sat on the side of the small desk in front of Xiaochan's bed outside, and with a sharp knife, he used a sharp knife to sharpen toys for his soon-to-be-year-old child, a wooden car that can be rolled, and a little ape with an arm connected "Sharpening and cutting, Laide will raise his head and look at the void, with a smile on his face, as if his son is waiting for his toy to play on the side, think about it for a while, bow his head and sharpen it again."

At this time, I heard someone in the courtyard laugh heartily: "Zizhong, Zizhong, Jiang Zuowei Rank Northern Tour." Didn't you get killed by the maid Hu! ”

"It's still worth it." Chen Caozhi put down his pen with a smile and went out with his third brother Chen Shang.

Liu Shangwei is not one, a person comes, a wife and a concubine and a four-year-old son, and the concubine is Gillian. was also pregnant for a few months, Liu Shang was informal, and when he heard that Chen Caozhi was back, he brought his wife and children to visit Gufu

Xiaochan hurriedly stepped forward to greet and invited Liu Shangzhi's wife Zhong and Gillian to the small hall to drink tea and talk, Liu Shangzhi's four-year-old son squatted beside Laide as soon as he saw the car and monkey made by Laide and did not move, grabbed a wooden monkey that had not yet been made and said that it was his. Liu Shangwei scolded with a smile: "I, an inferior son, as long as he likes something, he insists that it is his, it seems that he was a robber in his previous life." ”

Laide said that he would give the wooden monkey to Liu Xiaolangjun, and said that the wooden monkey still has some places that need to be carved more finely, so that Liu Xiaolangjun will return it first, and then give him to play after the carving is restored

Everyone laughed, Liu Shangzhi shook his head and said: "This inferior son, when I was in Liujiabao before, my father was overly spoiled, and he was stubborn and abnormal, and I will let him become literate next year." You have to be beaten. ”

Chen Caozhi and his third brother Chen Shang and Liu Shangzhi said that they had seen and heard in the north, and naturally they avoided the key points, Liu Shangzhi was not interested in those, he was only very curious about Zhu Yingtai's transformation into Xie Daoyun, and asked: "Zizhong, I heard that you went to Xie Mansion to visit the Xie girl, how is her condition?" Can it be cured? ”

Chen Caozhi: "The condition is serious, and it is not sure whether it can be cured.

Liu Shangzhi heard Chen Caozhi say the same, so Xie Daoyun was really sick and blind, and he also said at the moment: "I always thought that Zhu Yingtai was arrogant and outnumbered, but I didn't think about it."

"Brother Shang, I want to return Qian Tang tomorrow. Do you have a letter from home that you would like to bring back to Germany? Chen Caozhi is indeed not sure to cure Xie Daoyun's illness. I don't want to say much about it now, so I'll change the topic.

Liu Shangwei was also interested, so he kept silent. I used a ready-made pen and paper to write a letter to Qian Tang Liujiabao's father, and asked when Laide would leave tomorrow? Knowing that Chen was about to leave, Liu Shangzhi said: "Then I will send some silk utensils over early tomorrow morning." Let Laide bring back Qian Tang and hand it over to my father, I can't go back to Qian Tang this year. ”

After talking for a while, Liu Shangzhi took his wife and children to say goodbye and returned to the apartment outside the Suzaku Gate, Chen Caozhi ran around for a day, and he was also sleepy, after taking a bath, he went to bed and slept in the outer room, and he couldn't sleep for a long time

Early the next morning, Liu Shangzhi drove to Gu's mansion. The gifts to the old father and relatives in the clan were packed in two large boxes, and Tuo Laide brought back Qian Tang, and Ding Licheng also wrote letters to his uncle Ding Yi and sister-in-law Ding Youwei respectively, asking Laide to bring them back together, Laide took two Chen private soldiers, and borrowed two Shen private soldiers from Shen Chiqian, and escorted three ox carts to leave Jiankang and return to Qiantang.

Chen Shang went to Langya Wangfu on duty, Chen Caozhi and Ran Sheng hit Taicheng Shangshutai, yesterday Wang Biaozhi invited Chen Caozhi to participate in today's talks with the Yan envoy Huangfu Zhen, Shangshu shot Wang Biaozhi already knew Chen Caozhi's strategy to kill Yan, and the emperor Fu Zhen was naturally perfunctory, and the two sides soon reached a covenant of mutual non-aggression on guarding the border, in order to show sincerity, Huangfu Zhen was ordered by Murong Ke to say to Wang Biaozhi that the Yan army would withdraw from Xuchang City occupied five months ago

The covenant was reached, and Huangfu really thought that he had a plan, so that the alliance between Qin and Jin collapsed. He Yan State can calmly deal with Qin State, and when Guanlong is swept away and Liangzhou is pacified, then the iron horse will go south, and the world will be decided. But where did he know that the praying mantis catching cicadas and the yellow finch were behind, all of this was in the steps that Chen Caozhi expected.

In the evening, it was raining coldly. Chen Caozhi took an ox cart and took Ran Sheng and Shen Chi to visit Xiao Lu Shangshu's Mansion. A little maid of twelve or thirteen years old who was waiting in the entrance hall saw one of Chen Cao come in. Then he turned and ran to the inner courtyard, and this little maid was sent by a short hoe. The task is to rush to report to the little lady as soon as he sees Chen Caozhi entering the house.

Zuo Min Shangshu Lu Na is used to meeting Chen Caozhi in the study, he stood on the porch in front of the study, watching Chen Caozhi's footsteps come briskly in the twilight drizzle, chestnut holding an umbrella for him, not seen for half a year. Chen Caozhi is still handsome, and he has a heroic spirit, how many people are there in Jiangzuo?

Lu Na smiled bitterly in his heart: "This Chen Caozhi." As soon as Jiankang came back, it caused such a big turmoil. In order to beat Lu Shu and Zhu Lingbao bitterly, it is reported that the emperor was very angry and wanted to cut off Chen Caozhi's crown prince to wash horses, but King Langya insisted on not allowing it, saying that Chen Caozhi had made great contributions to Sheji, and he would be rewarded, and the emperor was so angry that he brushed his sleeves away on the spot.

Chen Caozhi entered the rain eaves, separated by six or seven steps, and bowed deeply to Lu Na: "Caozhi greets Lu Envoy." ”

Lu Na returned the salute and invited Chen Caozhi into the study to sit down in the small building and serve tea.

Chen Caozhi was about to speak, Lu Na waved his hand and said, "Your Aunt Zhang and Wei Rui will be here soon, let's talk together then."

Chen Caozhi felt slightly embarrassed, Lu Na let him touch a soft nail, no wonder Lu Na was a little resentful. Some time ago, when the shocking news came out that Zhu Yingtai, who joined the army in Xifu, was actually Xie Daoyun, Lu Na was quite dissatisfied with Chen Caozhi and asked Wei Rui, but Wei Rui said that he already knew it, so let his father not blame Chen Langjun

Lu Na and Chen Caozhi, the two sons-in-law, sat silently in the study, as if they were in a metaphysical meditation, and Mrs. Lu's eyes widened when they saw this scene when they came to the study

Lu Na smiled slightly, and calmly disguised: "Wen Yan, do you think Cao Zhi is a person who has returned from a long journey?" ”

Chen Caozhi hurriedly bowed to Mrs. Lu Zhang Wenche. and gave a salute to the Lady.

Mrs. Lu Zhang Wenjun and Lu Weirui knelt down in their skirts to Chen Caozhi, Mrs. Lu looked at Chen Caozhi with a smile and said, "Look carefully, it's still quite weathered...... He asked Chen Caozhi what the envoy had passed through

Chen Caozhi took out a thick roll from his arms: "This is what the junior recorded on the way to the mission, and I wanted to come back to show Wei Rui." With that, he presented it with both hands.

Mrs. Lu, Zhang Wenjun, looked at Lu Weirui with a smile. Lu Weirui blushed like a morning glow, got up and took the book, thought about it, and presented it to her father Lu Na first

Lu Na flipped through a few pages, and Chen Caozhi's unique left-handed line made him secretly praise in his heart. Seeing that the number of words in this thick volume should be more than 50,000 words, it can be seen that Chen Caozhi's intentions, Lu Na was greatly relieved, and Cao Zhi was very affectionate to Wei Rui.

Transitional chapters, wonderful reproduction tomorrow.

Xiaodao asked for a ticket yesterday and said that he wanted to rush from the seventh to the sixth in the classification, but now it fell to the eighth, which is really sad, quite sad, brothers and sisters to see if there is a monthly pass in their hands, pull the road. (To be continued)
