Mrs. Lu Zhang Wenjun knew that Lu Weirui was going to follow Chen Caozhi to see the treasure pearl magnolia, so she said to Wang Xizhi's wife Xi Xuan: "Sister Xi, I'll go out and explain and come soon." ”

Lu Weirui saluted Xi Xuan and Xi Daomao respectively, followed her stepmother Zhang Wenjun out of the pilgrim's house, and came to the front hall, Chen Caozhi, Ran Sheng, Zhi Fahan, and Chestnut were waiting, preparing a few bamboo tubes to drink water, and bamboo canes and mango shoes to prepare for the road.

Zhang Wenjun asked: ", how much distance is there to Huashan?" ”

Chen Caozhi said: "Senior Brother Fa Han said that it is only fifteen miles from the path. ”

Zhang Wenjun frowned and said: "Thirty miles back and forth, it is already the turn of noon, and we have to rush back to Dong'an Temple at the latest, because we still have to go back to the city, is it too late?" ”。

Chen Caozhi said: "Aunt Zhang, there is no problem in going back and forth thirty miles in two hours. ”

Zhang Wenjun said: "I mean Wei Rui, she hasn't walked such a long and urgent road. ”

Lu Weirui hurriedly said: "Mother, I can do it, didn't I often play around before?" ”。

Zhang Wenjun said with a smile: "You used to play by car and travel, so you can't drive on the road to Huashan." ”

Lu Weirui was a little anxious, afraid to continue. didn't let her go, and argued: "Playing is also to climb the mountain and cross the mountain, and I do it by myself." ”

Chen Caozhi said: "I promise Aunt Zhang that I will bring Wei Rui back before the time of the unitary. ”

Zhang Wenjun beckoned Chen Caozhi to come closer and whispered. Said: "Then I will entrust Wei Rui to you, you must bring her back before the time, if she can't walk, you carry her back." Thinking about it, it was funny, Mrs. Lu Zhang Wenjun covered her mouth with her hands and laughed.

Lu Weirui on the side naturally heard it. The stepmother said something to Chen Langjun, her face was so beautiful and cute, she didn't dare to raise her head, so she listened to Chen Cao's serious response: "Yes, Cao Zhi will never live up to Aunt Zhang's trust." ”

Zhang Wenjun couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, go and go back quickly, follow the short hoe and hairpin, wait carefully for the little lady, do you hear?" ”

The two maids of the short hoe and hairpin replied: "Yes." ”

Zhang Wenjun looked at Zhi Fahan leading the way, Chen Caozhi and Lu Weirui and a line of six. People went east from the path behind the temple, and then walked back to the pilgrim's house, and said in his heart: "Rui'er is happy now, she can be with Chen Caozhi all afternoon, she is looking forward to seeing this jewel magnolia day and night, in fact, it is more important to be with Chen Caozhi, this infatuated child is also very pitiful, Caozhi, it is really good, even Xi Xuan praised, Zhigong and Wang Youjun also admired Cao Zhi——"

Xi Xuan saw Zhang Wenjun coming back alone, so she asked, "Sister Zhang, what about Ling Ai?" ”

Zhang Wenjun replied: "I heard that there are magnolia species in Huashan, and I want to go. so that she went. ”

Xi Xuan smiled: "Lu's. The name of the girl's love for flowers is known all over the world, and there is a way that is 'Lu Weirui, Yongxu Xie Daoyun', by the way, Chen Langjun accompanied Lu Xiaoniang to go, right? ”

Zhang Wenjun smiled and responded, "Yes." ”

Xi Xuan said: "Such a good child, he is in love, he should match them." ”

Zhang Wenjun suppressed this matter, and also wanted someone of the same status to tell him, except for Xi Xuan and Xi Daomao, there was no one else here, so he said: "Sister Xi really thinks that Chen Caozhi is as compatible as my family?" ”。

Xi Xuan swept the white hair on her sideburns, looked at Mrs. Lu Zhang Wenjun with a smile, and asked rhetorically: "Sister Zhang, do you think they are not a good match?" ”。

Zhang Wenjun had no choice but to confess: "My family is stubborn, and I have identified this Chen Caozhi-"

Xi Xuan interjected: "I have eyesight. Xi Daomao covered his mouth and smiled.

Zhang Wenjun also smiled and continued: "Presumably Sister Xi has also heard that my family Wei Rui refuses to marry anything else, waiting for Chen Caozhi, the son of the Huiji Kong family Kong Wang is also very good, but Wei Rui does not consider it at all, Wei Rui is stubborn, if she is forced, the consequences are terrible, I see that she is really pitiful, and besides, this Chen Caozhi is not a frivolous person, it seems that he can be entrusted for life, so he really wants to fulfill the two of them, but the second uncle Lu Shi resolutely refused, saying that he would rather let Wei Rui not marry for the rest of his life than marry Chen Caozhi. ”

Xi Xuan sighed: "Those men always think about reputation, family, and official position, while we women are much more real, only talking about characters and temperament, marriage is a lifelong thing, the years are long, reputation, family these virtual things can't be relied on, we women only seek to find a good Lang Jun for us, as for the others are not very important, of course, if these are available, it will naturally be better." ”

Zhang Wenjun thought so, and said: "Sister Xi and the right army of the respected husband Wang, as well as Daomao Niangzi and Xianzhilangjun, these are all good couples who are both right and in love." ”

Xi Xuan glanced at Xi Daomao and said, "Mao'er and I are both daughters-in-law of the royal family, so it can be said that we support each other." After a pause, he added, "In my opinion, it is better for a woman's husband's family to be lower than her mother's family, so that she is more favored." ”

Zhang Wenjun was stunned for a moment, faintly knowing some of Xi Xuan's suffering, although Wang Xizhi loves her, but the Wang clan does not value Xi's family, so it is inevitable that he will suffer some grievances, thinking about it like this, it strengthens Zhang Wenjun's idea of marrying Wei Rui to Chen Caozhi, and the good land Qian Silk and the servants who will marry will exceed the existing sum of Qian Tang Chen's existing ones, can Qian Tang Chen's still not respect Wei Rui? Naturally, Wei Rui is in charge, and it can be seen that he loves Wei Rui very much, and his temper is good, the two of them will be happy, but the second uncle Lu Shi -

Zhang Wenjun said: "If the second uncle of Wei Rui does not allow it, this marriage will not be successful, which makes me very troubled." ”

Xi Xuan asked: "Chen Langjun is a smart person, what does he say?" ”

Zhang Wenjun said: "Let my family wait for him for three years, and say that there will be a way." ”

Xi Xuan nodded and said: "With Chen Langjun's talent, he should be reused by Huan Da Sima when he enters the West Mansion, but it is only a woman for three years, and it is a pity that his youth is wasted." ”

Zhang Wenjun said: "Yes, but there is no other way but to wait, Wei Rui refuses to marry others, and now no one comes to Lu Mansion to ask for marriage." ”

Xi Xuan said with a smile: "Chen Langjun is both talented and beautiful, unless there are more outstanding children of the Jiangzuo clan, who would dare to propose to the Lu family!" ”

Zhang Wenjun said: "Yes, I'm really afraid that Wei Rui's marriage will be delayed." ”

Xi Xuan asked, "How old is Little Lady Lu?" ”

Zhang Wenjun said: "Nineteen." ”

Xi Xuan said: "One year younger than my Mao'er, there is still a talented girl in Jiankang City who is twenty years old and unmarried, I don't know what the situation is recently?" ”

Zhang Wenjun knew that Xi Xuan was talking about Xie Daoyun, so he said: "I haven't heard of any news of marriage, the Xie girl is high, and no one dares to marry." ”

Xi Xuan is still haunted by Xie Daoyun's refusal to marry her son Wang Ning three years ago, and teased: "Don't women marry their husbands if they are talented, Xie Daoyun is proud of her talents, and she likes to be competitive, such a woman is also tired to marry home, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to say that the old Xie family will end. ”

Zhang Wenjun was silent, childlessness is another piece of her heart, and it is inconvenient to say this to outsiders, she also knows that Xi Xuan's words are not to ridicule her, but she is still very uncomfortable, got up and said: "Sister Xi sit less, I will go to the Buddha to pray once." ”

Xi Xuan asked, "When will Sister Zhang leave for the city, let's go together?" ”

Zhang Wenjun said: "Sister Xi first, I have to wait for Wei Rui to come back, I'm afraid it's going to be very late." ”

……

Lu Weirui, who walked lightly on the mountain road, forgot her own sorrows and the hardships of her marriage future, and the happiness in her heart was now misty and misty, like air, surrounded by her, happy and like jewels, everyone who saw her could clearly feel -

Lu Weirui was radiant, her pretty face was flushed, delicate and cute, and she had a collared spring shirt, a delicate Changle Mingguang brocade skirt, and green silk shoes, so that Chen Caozhi held her right hand, and walked lightly as if flying.

Zhi Fahan looked at Chen Caozhi and Lu Weirui holding hands and intimacy, he couldn't help blushing and heartbeat, and hurriedly recited the "Radiant Prajna Sutra" silently, in order to strengthen his heart to the Buddha, striding in front, out of sight and pure in heart, chestnut followed closely behind him.

Ran Sheng and the hairpin and the short hoe followed behind the chestnut, smiling and talking, although Mrs. Lu had instructed to wait carefully for the little lady, but the short hoe and hairpin knew that the little lady did not need her to serve now, and asked Chen Langjun to take care of the little lady, and the two of them were happy and comfortable, five or six feet away, so as not to disturb the little lady and Chen Langjun Qingqing and me.

The mountain road from Tangshan to Huashan is secluded, Chen Cao has not met anyone else along the way, woodcutters and hunters have not seen one, the mountain road is high and low, rugged and uneven, the strange rocks on both sides of the mountain road are uneven, all kinds of wild flowers are fragrant, on the clear blue sky, a goshawk hangs for a long time without moving, and after a while, look up again, but it has flown without a trace.

In the afternoon of mid-spring, the sun was shining, Chen Caozhi felt that Lu Weirui's soft little hands in his palm were a little sweaty, looking at his cheeks crimson, and his nose was slightly soaked with a trace of fine sweat, like a small dew drop on the rose petals, extremely beautiful, Lu Weirui's long skirt dragged to the ground, and when walking quickly, he had to lift his skirt lightly with one hand, so that the road would naturally be more difficult.

Lu Weirui saw Chen Caoyi looking left and right on both sides of the mountain road while walking, so she asked, "What is Chen Langjun looking for?" ”

Chen Caozhi: "I'm looking for thorns." ”

Lu Weirui was surprised: "What are you looking for thorns for?" ”

Chen Caozhi smiled: "Find a thorn to pierce you." ”

"Ahh Lu Weirui's face turned red and said, "Let you tie it." ”

Chen Caozhi didn't know what he thought of, but his face was slightly red, and he said, "Reluctant." "Still looking as I go.

Lu Weirui smiled and said, "Chen Langjun, let me change my hand, my left hand is sore." ”

Chen Caozhi let go of Lu Weirui's right hand, changed his position and walked to Lu Weirui's left side, took her left hand, and continued to move forward.

Bypassing a hillside and seeing a bush of thorns growing luxuriantly, Lu Weirui saw it first and shouted, "Chen Langjun, there are thorns there." ”

Chen Caozhi said: "You wait, I'll pick a few thorns." Then he let go of Lu Weirui's hand and quickly climbed up the hillside.

Lu Weirui didn't know what Chen Caozhi was going to do to pick the thorns, of course she wouldn't be pricked by her, so she climbed up the hill and called, "Chen Langjun, be careful not to let the thorns get into your hands." ”

Chen Caozhi responded: "I'll be careful, you wait for me below, I'll come down soon." ”

Lu Weirui stopped, and saw Chen Caozhi walking to the thorns, carefully picking thorns, picking one and pinning it on his robe, picking several thorns in a row, and suddenly stopped picking them, as if he had been pricked by the thorn in his hand, he was putting his fingers in his mouth and sucking, and spitting-

"Ah, I was stabbed!" Lu Weirui hurriedly ran up.

Chen Caozhi had already turned around, his fingers were still in his mouth, and said vaguely: "It's okay, let's go down." ”

Lu Weirui stepped forward and pulled Chen Caozhi's finger out of his mouth, and when he saw it, his slender and white fingers were wet, and there was a small thorn mark on the top of his finger.

Lu Weirui didn't want to think about it, grabbed Chen Caozhi's hand, put that finger into her mouth, and sucked it again and again-

Chen Caozhi was dumbfounded, looking at Lu Weirui's sunken cheeks and pursed lips due to sucking, and he could feel the tip of his delicate tongue gently licking at the small punctures on the top of his fingers-

Chen Caozhi felt a huge tenderness, this is his beloved girl, and he also loves him with all his heart, he must love her for a lifetime.

Lu Weirui sucked for a while, spit out the blood-stained saliva, and held Chen Caozhi's fingers, staring at the thorn mark, and said, "Don't come out again, don't come out again-"

The blood was very obedient, and sure enough, it didn't overflow anymore, Lu Weirui looked at it for a while, confirmed that the blood was solidified, and then raised her face, her face was full of smiles, and said: "I used to plant flowers and I was often pricked by thorns in my hands, just suck it-" A pretty face suddenly burned into flames, just now because of concern, I forgot to avoid taboos, and then I thought that it was very embarrassing to suck my fingers for Chen Langjun, so I quickly let go of Chen Caozhi's hand, turned around and walked down the mountain quickly.

Chen Caozhi shouted: "Watch the road carefully, don't fall." "Hurry up.

As soon as the two of them walked down the mountain road, Ran Sheng, the short hoe, and the hairpin had already stepped back, and they walked for a while and saw that Chen Caozhi and Lu Weirui had not followed, so they walked back to find it.

Seeing that there were four or five fine thorns pinned to Chen Caozhi's clothes, the short hoe said curiously: "What is Chen Langjun doing when he picks these thorns?" ”

Chen Caozhi said: "For your little lady, come, help with a short hoe, fold the skirt of your little lady by four or five inches——"

The short hoe squatted down in front of Lu Weirui, and folded Lu Weirui's skirt four inches according to his words, and the white cloth socks could be seen.

Lu Weirui knew Chen Caozhi's intention to pick the thorns, and watched Chen Caozhi squat down in front of her, pulling out the thin thorns on the placket one by one, and pinning them to her folded skirt-

Lu Weirui was sweet in her heart and reminded: "Chen Langjun be careful, don't prick your hand again." ”

Chen Caozhi said "um", and pinned the five thin thorns to Lu Weirui's skirt back and forth, so that Lu Weirui's skirt was four inches shorter, and she didn't have to carry her skirt in one hand when she walked.

Chen Caozhi straightened up and said with a smile: "Little lady Lu is now a thorny rose, and no one dares to approach." ”

Lu Weirui smiled, walked a few steps, felt a lot more relaxed, and said: "Very good, thank you Chen Langjun, let's continue to hurry." When Ran Sheng, the short hoe and the hairpin flower walked to the front, she naturally held Chen Caozhi's hand, and the other hand swayed rhythmically, looking light and comfortable.
