The top grade Hanshi volume two affectionate

A heavy snowfall in the middle of the month. Qiantang Chen's manor is covered in silver. Green = . The fields are vast. It's like a kingdom of ice and snow. Far into the distance. A white. Only the snow of Mingsheng Lake fell without a trace. The sinking lake embraces all the cold and warm, the hustle and bustle and the silence of the ages.

Autumn harvest and winter storage. The people of the Chen clan and the shaded households living around Chenjiawu had no farm work to do at this time. An old man sat around the fire. Repair farm tools by sewing and repairing. The New Year's goods were also divided by Chenjiawu. Fish, meat, rice, millet, oil, salt, and cloth are sufficient. The tax payment has been paid by the Chan family on their behalf. Don't worry about treacherous officials knocking on the door. This is the benefit of Toba under the family. And Chen, who treats his subordinates very generously and kindly. Therefore, the tenants and employees of the Chen family all feel that this life is delicious. There is a sense of belonging to this place from now on.

There are also busy ones in the ice and snow. That is the forging shop of Chen's manor. Purple smoke swirled around the furnace and the fire was blazing. "Ding Ding Ding-" The crisp sound of striking iron spread far away. Spring will begin next year. Chen's manor required a large number of agricultural implements such as ploughs, hoes, and sickles. Chen Jiawu's chief steward Laifu's son came to Deming a kind of repeated push-pull bellows. It is much more convenient to use this bellows for blowing than the leather blower equipment used by blacksmiths. The wind is persistent and strong. It's also more effortless. The smelting furnace is fiercely hot. The cast iron tools are also more durable.

Twenty-fourth of the lunar month. Liu Shang stepped on the snow to visit Chen Caozhi. Said 6 Na6 Shangshu sent someone to invite him to Jiankang to serve as the secretary of the office. After the year, he entered Beijing. Although it is a non-quality official. But since 6 Naken carried him. The future is definitely promising.

Chen Caozhi smiled: "That's congratulations." Uncle Liu is happy. ”

Liu Shangzhi said: "Yes, I have been stinging in Liujiabao for more than a year. A cold door. Headless, clueless. It's boring. I just want to serve the stone and dissolve my worries—"

Chen Caozhi: "Hmm. Whether it's five stones, you can come shirtless on this snowy day. And an ice pick in his hand to chew—"

Liu Shangzhi laughed. said: "Zizhong, let's make friends." Something to say. I see that 6 Shangshu's son-in-law, you are the son-in-law. ”

There is nothing good in front of Liu Shangwei. Chen Caozhi raised his eyebrows. Ask: "How?" ”

Chen Caozhi: "You want to." It was you who recommended me to 6 Shangshu. 6. If Shang Shu resents you, where will he remember money, there is still me in this small corner of Tang, Liu Shang, this person is worth this person, and he will specially send an envoy to summon me to Beijing! This indicates. 6. Shangshu is still important to you. ”

Chen Caozhi: "This is the appreciation of Brother Shangcai - to 6 Shangshu, and you resigned because of difficulties." Shang Shu naturally wants to promote you. ”

Liu Shangwei took out a book sticker from his arms. To Chen Caozhi: "Zizhong, please see that this is a letter from 6 Shangshu." You were mentioned as well. ”

Chen Caozhi's exhibition letter. Let's not look at what is written in the letter. Rather, it is to appreciate the unique hemp paper bald pen book of the 6 family. This jute paper can only be made in the paper mill in Huating Manor. The paper is beautiful. In April last year, he met 6 in the pavilion, and 6 gave him five large rolls of jute paper, which has not been used up yet-

6. The use of the "flat style of chapter cursive script. The letter is written in a simple and old way. And it's fun. The strokes are like coiled wires. The structure is dense and natural. On the power of the pen and the rhyme. Chen Caozhi believes that the 6 Na chapter cursive calligraphy has surpassed his uncle's 6 machines. It's just that the 6 machine is more famous.

6 Na did mention Chen Caozhi at the end of the letter. Said that he was in office in Wu County. intends to recruit Chen Caozhi as a county literature. Now it's a matter of time. He left Kure. Chan has also been inscribed as a scholar. Chen Caozhi will have a better future——

Chen Caozhi nodded and said, "6 Shangshu is really a virtuous gentleman. I am truly a failure to him. ”

Liu Shangzhi smiled: "Negative old man." Don't minus 6. He also said: "I will leave for Jiankang on the eighteenth day of the first month of next year." Will write to you when you settle down. You should be in Jiankang by the end of next year. Then we can meet again. ”

Chen Caozhi said: "Ding Chun is going to Yangzhou next year. Be a subordinate official of the king's internal history. ”

……

Time is fleeting. It's Chinese New Year's Eve. Ding Youwei is still with Zong Zhirun'er. Together with Yinggu Xiaochan and others, they came to the thatched hut of Jade Emperor Mountain and Chen Caozhi to welcome the New Year of Xinyou - the fifth year of Emperor Mu of Jin. this year. Chen Caozhi was eighteen years old. Ding Youwei is twenty-nine years old. Soyuki was eleven years old. Run'er is nine years old. Ran Sheng, who is nearly eight feet tall, is fifteen years old.

The seventeenth day of the first month. Liu Shangzhi and Ding Chunqiu came together to say goodbye to Chen Caozhi. The two will go to Jiankang together. Then Ding Chunqiu took a boat down to Yangzhou.

The fifth day of February. Gu *zhi and Xu Yuandao visited. Best friends have been separated for more than a year. See you here. Joy goes without saying. Xu has passed the evaluation of Xuzhou Dazhongzheng. received a six-grade official exemption. Because Jingzhou is not recommended by Gu Yue. Eighteen-year-old Xu was regarded as a literary scholar by the Taishou of Wuling County. After coming here to see Cao, he went to Wuling County, Jingzhou to take up a job.

Chen Caozhi smiled and asked, "Have the immortals seen Feng Fujun?" ”

Xu blushed. Gu *zhi hurriedly replied: "Then you can not see it!" The immortals are really hidden. I didn't know about it. This time, Qian Tang told me about it. It's weird. The fairy has become Zizhong's sister! ”

Xu's face flushed. Can't say a word.

Chen Caozhi asked: "My righteous sister Ling Bo and the immortals are a good match. Choosing a wedding date? ”

Xu calmed down a bit. said: "The divination request has been made. Just November 19 of this year. ”

Chen Caozhi nodded. I chose the winter month of this year. Naturally, it was because of his filial piety. And Feng Lingbo is also his mother's daughter-in-law. Therefore, the wedding date was chosen after he took off his filial piety and removed his clothes. In this way, his brother-in-law can also attend the wedding.

Gu * Zhidao: "No matter how far away the immortal wedding is, I will come." That's right. Sub-weight. Chenjiawu has changed a lot in the past year. It is too much exaggeration to say that it is Hai Sangtian. But along the way, in addition to the mountains and rivers, they are still beautiful. The rest of the road buildings have changed dramatically. Originally, I couldn't see a few people all the way across the river. It's a constant stream right now. ”

Chen Caozhi said with a smile: "Wait for the people to come to welcome the righteous sister." You come here again. It's a big change again. ”

Gu * Zhizhi: "I'm these." I retake your recent paintings with me. I am happy when the paintings have grown. ”

Chen Caozhi took the paintings of "Ran Sheng's Angry Eyes", "Run'er Fishing", "Mountain Dwelling Four Seasons" and Gu *. Gu *zhi unfolded a "Picture of Ran Sheng's Angry Eyes" and took a look. Eyes opened in horror. There was no sound on his lips suddenly. Watching for a long time. Look also at "Run'er Fishing Map" and "Mountain Dwelling Four Seasons Map". The mouth begins to "inhale". sighed: "Zizhong." Four hundred days. Your painting skills have improved dramatically. I am afraid. ”

Xu smiled: "Kang." What a fear? Are you afraid that your son will regain your name as the first person in the three paintings? ”

Gu *zhi looked left at the three scrolls. said: "I'm afraid it has been taken away." Zizhong's progress is too godly. The attendant was ordered to take his newly painted "Xia Yu Water Control Map" and "Spring Dragon Drawing". and Chen Caozhi's three together——

Chen Caozhi obviously felt that Gu *zhi breathed a sigh of relief. I couldn't help but smile slightly. His paintings are seen individually. It's really refreshing. The use of color and ink is skillful. And the depiction is exquisite, and the taste is wonderful. All have unique features. But compared with Gu Zhi's "Xia Yuzhi Tu" and "Spring Dragon Out of the Picture" two paintings. It shows his shortcomings in brushwork and color. Gu *zhi breathed a sigh of relief, which meant to say: "It's okay, it's okay." Also caught up with the quilt. Chen Caozhi said: "It's really incomparable." It pales in comparison with Changkang's masterpiece. ”

Look at the two and two. Said: "Still afraid." I'm afraid it won't take two years. The weight of the child made me look at the second. No way. Last year, I used to play with the children of the Jingxiang clan. Not diligent enough. I will never be so lazy in the future. Can't let it be heavier than me. ”

Chen Cao: "Okay." We'll try it again later. A lifelong friend and a lifelong rival. ”

Gu *zhi laughed. He said in a loud voice: "Okay." A lifelong friend, a lifelong enemy. ”

Because Xu was going to Wuling County to take up his post. Therefore, Gu Zhixu only stayed in Chenjiawu for three days this time and then left the west. Chen Caozhi's uncle Xu Yan Erzhou Assassin Shi from Xu died of illness in the first half of the first month. The imperial court immediately appointed Dongyang Taishou Fan Wang Du Governor Xu Yanqing and the military of the five states of Jiyou. and Xu, Erzhou Thorn History. Fan Wang belongs to the Kou faction. He was a member of his grandfather's office. The imperial court entrusted Fan Wang with a heavy responsibility. is also to contain Huan Wen-

What makes Chen Caozhi strange is that. In addition to the Kohei clan. are not on good terms with Huan.

……

The representative of the army in the West Mansion is the representative of the Dasi Nan County Gonghuan Wen - Jiajian Kang Taiji Hall New Year's Day Dynasty Meeting. The third day of the first month. Commander Shi Jiazhi went to visit Qingxi. talked about the letter signed "Yingtai" that I saw at Chen Cao in April last year. He said that he was puzzled again-

Great surprise. The phoenix's eyes narrowed slightly. A smile on the corner of his mouth. Lightly bearded. Silent for a long time. He said, "My brother's guess won't be wrong. Yingtai is thanks. Everyone in the world knows that Xie Anshi is good at silk and bamboo music. But he knew that his daughter Xie was even more obsessed with music. Xie Xuan once told me that he went to Wu County to study under the pseudonym Zhu Yingting. is to appreciate Chen Caozhi's recorder. Now it seems. It is not Xie Xuan who is obsessed with Chen Caozhi's recorder music, but his sister Xie Dao. That Xie Dao Yi and Chen Caozhi's classmates. Jiang Zuowei and Chen Caozhi are not vain. It's not unusual for Xie Dao to fall in love. No wonder she frustrated Wang Ningzhi with her resignation. So far, he refuses to talk about marriage. I see! I see! ”

He said several "I see" in succession. Smiling. To Jia Bi's way: "6 Na's daughter is in love with Chen Cao, and the Xie girl is in love with Chen Caozhi." This is really the first affair in this dynasty. It's so much fun! ”

Jia Bizhi said: "Brother guest." This is no small matter. When it got out, it was an uproar. I'm afraid it will cause a big dispute between the northern and southern scholars. Chen Caozhi will become the common enemy of the northern and southern scholars. How can he still enter the company in the future! ”

His eyes narrowed, and he said, "Woe and blessing are relied upon." If you plan this well. You can't turn danger into a disaster before you start. Maybe it will be of great benefit to the northern and southern scholars—but don't talk about it for now. I want to bow to the Great Sima. ”

Jia Zhi was dumbfounded. This thing is going to alarm Wen. I can't help but secretly regret talking too much. I'm worried about getting caught on fire in the future.
