XLIX. Misty joy

Although the Wujun scholars were not accustomed to the northward gate valves going south, they were very interested in Sun Yan's "Erya Yinyi" and Li Deng's "Sound Class" taught by Dr. Xu Zao, as well as Luo Shengyong, and urged their children to study Luoyang Zhengyin diligently, while the northern gate valves who lived near Jiankang and Huiji never asked their children to learn Wu language from Jiangdong people, and the high status of the northern and southern scholars can be seen from this.

Therefore, on the morning of the ninth day of October after the day of suspension, it was the time when the largest number of people listened to the lecture in Xu's school, Lu Yu and Chu Wenbin came, Lu Yu is now ignoring Chu Wenbin, he heard some personal grievances between Chu and Chen Caozhi, and knew that Chu Wenbin wanted to provoke and use him to fight Chen Caozhi that day, it didn't matter if he hit Chen Caozhi, but it would make him uncomfortable to be used by Chu Wenbin, Lu Yu was angry about Chen Caozhi's rudeness, in his opinion, this poor boy should be respectful in front of him.

Yesterday, Lu Yu saw his uncle Lu Na summoning Chen Caozhi, which was very strange, and later inquired about the steward, and learned that Chen Caozhi went to the Garden to save the jade plate, Lu Yu thought that Chen Caozhi was specially coming for the Juhua Jade Edition, and couldn't help but be very annoyed, and felt disdainful: "This Chen Caozhi, the day before yesterday, was still pretentious, saying something 'I won't heal Juhua for you, Unless you ask me again', I thought he was so high, but it turned out that he was also a villain who tended to be inflammatory, and he climbed directly to my uncle, my uncle was obedient to his words for the sake of the seventh sister, and Chen Caozhi used this to create prestige for himself, which was too despicable. ”

Chu Wenbin did not tell his father Chu Jian about his bad relationship with Lu Fowl, otherwise he would inevitably be scolded by his father, he believed that there was always an opportunity, Chen Caozhi was not a saint, he would always make mistakes, he Chu Wenbin just had to wait for Chen Caozhi to make a mistake, and then publicize it, for this reason, he asked his subordinates to buy a servant in the school, let the servant stare at Chen Caozhi more, and report to his subordinate whenever there was any change, of course he Chu Wenbin would not come forward directly.

On this day, Chu Wenbin got an important news, yesterday Lu Taishou sent an ox cart to pick up Chen Caozhi to the county town, and came back with Dr. Xu very late, Chu Wenbin was shocked, and went back at noon to tell his father Chu Jian about it.

Chu Jian had a gloomy face and said, "Got it." He waved him out, stopped him without taking two steps, and ordered: "That Chen Caozhi, don't act rashly first, just let people stare at it, and tell me if you have something." ”

It turned out that during the morning Taishou Mansion meeting, Taishou Lu Na showed Chen Caozhi's book sticker and praised Chen Caozhi's book and character in front of Wu County's subordinate officials, Chu Jian always felt that Lu Na seemed to be reminding him intentionally or unintentionally, making him feel very uncomfortable like a thorn in his back.

Chen Caozhi still reads, listens to lectures, takes notes diligently, practices calligraphy, and goes to Taolin Xiaozhu in the evening to observe the painting of "Huan Yi Gift Flute Map" by the Health Association, and also paints some simple mountains and rocks and trees, and the Health Association instructs him how to use pen and ink.

Gu Kaizhi has been going back and forth between Taolin Xiaozhu and Shanluo Village these days, very busy, the Mao girl learned that he was a child of the Gu family, and he couldn't stand his obsession, so he agreed to let him paint, Gu Kaizhi painted "Moonlit Night Pounding Clothes", let the Mao girl squat on the bank of the stream, a basket of clothes pounding and washing, very hard, and worried about the clothes smashing, Gu Kaizhi said: "Even if you pound, I will compensate you for ten clothes, no, a hundred." ”

Shortly after the end of school on the afternoon of October 11, another student came to Xu's Thatched Cottage to study with Dr. Xu Zao.

It was still Xu Miao who asked the question on behalf of his father, and Xu Miao heard that Qian Tang came, so he asked: "Does Brother Ding know Qian Tang and Chen Caozhi?" I thought to myself, "If you don't know, or if there is a gap, then there are difficult metaphysical problems waiting for you." ”

If it was before, Ding Chunqiu would definitely not know Chen Caozhi at a glance, for fear that Qian Tang Ding's reputation would be tarnished by Chen's, but since that Qiyun Mountain gathering, Ding Chunqiu's arrogant arrogance has been subdued a lot, although he didn't say it, he still admired Chen Caozhi a little in his heart, and this time, his cousin Ding Youwei also asked him to bring Chen Caozhi some things, and immediately replied: "Know, is Chen Caozhi here, please come out to see him." ”

When he first entered the Xu Academy, he didn't know anyone, and when he heard that it was difficult to answer the question, Ding Chunqiu felt a little weak, so it was good to find someone he knew to come out and strengthen his courage.

Xu Miao said: "First answer the questions for admission, and then I will take Brother Ding to find Chen Caozhi." ”

Ding Chunqiu let out an "oh", sat down on his knees, and said calmly: "Please ask Brother Xu to ask the question." ”

Xu Miao said: "The Book of Rites. Confucianism" "is not deep but high, not less but more", what is the explanation? ”

Ding Chunqiu suddenly felt relaxed physically and mentally, waved the tail in his hand, and said: "Don't be self-conscious because of your position, don't be self-conscious because of your own small victory." ”

Xu Miao smiled and said: "Good, Brother Ding has passed, tomorrow is the day of suspension, and Brother Ding can come to the cottage to listen to the lecture the day after tomorrow." ”

The easy passage made Ding Chunqiu feel good, thinking that because of his talent, any problem was easily solved to him, and said with a hearty smile: "Where is Chen Caozhi, I still have something to hand over to him." ”

Xu Miao thought that Ding Chunqiu and Chen Caozhi had a very good relationship, and immediately took him to the Taolin Xiaozhu in the north of the Lion Rock, Ding Chunqiu originally wanted to send a servant to bring the things explained by his cousin Ding Youwei to Chen Caozhi, but seeing Xu Miao's sincerity and enthusiasm, and he was not familiar with his own life, he also needed to learn about the situation from Chen Caozhi, so he asked the two servants to follow and came to the Taolin Xiaozhu.

Chen Caozhi was asking his senior brother Gu Kaizhi for advice on the principle of seeing the big in the small and seeing the perspective from afar, and when he saw Ding Chunqiu, he was a little surprised and got up to greet him.

Ding Chunqiu was not used to greeting Chen Caozhi, so he gave a slight salute and said, "Cousin Youwei asked me to bring you some things-" turned around and instructed the servant: "Ding Zhu, bring the wooden box to Chen Langjun to move over." ”

When Ran Sheng saw Ding Chunqiu, he remembered that the food box was kicked over, his hatred was not gone, and he glared at Ding Chunqiu, and then he heard that Chen Caozi's sister-in-law Ding Youwei brought something to Chen Caozhi, and he was happy, and pulled up his cuffs and said, "I'll move it." "Delicately carry a large wooden box into the cottage.

Ding Chunqiu and Chen Caozhi still felt embarrassed when they saw each other, so they said: "The things have been brought, and they live up to my cousin's trust, then I will leave." ”

Chen Caozhi knew Ding Chunqiu's self-respecting identity, and refused to be with him, nor did he keep him, so he stepped out of the cottage to send him a few steps.

Gu Kaizhi walked out and said, "Zizhong, who is this, I brought you something, it's very good, why don't you invite you to sit inside?" ”

Chen Caozhi introduced Ding Chunqiu and Gu Kaizhi to each other, and Ding Chunqiu asked in surprise: "Is it Gu Kaizhi of the Gu family in Jinling?" ”

Gu Kaizhi also asked in surprise: "Could it be that there is a Gu Kaizhi with the same name and surname as me elsewhere?" "I have to ask.

Ding Chunqiu had heard the infatuated name of Gu Kaizhi, the second idiot in Jiangdong, and was even more surprised that this Gu son, who was known as the Lu family, the Zhu family, and the Zhang family, and the four surnames of Wu County, was so familiar with Chen Caozhi, and he was also commensurate with his senior brother and younger brother, which made Ding Chunqiu's already not strong arrogance completely gone, and he entered the grass hall to sit down, and before he could say a few words, he heard someone outside the grass hall ask: "Is Chen Langjun here?" Chen Caozhi's little Langjunβ€”β€”"

Chen Caozhi went out to see that it was the government official who came to pick him up to Lu Mansion three days ago, so he asked what was the matter?

The government servant said: "Please Chen Langjun take a step to speak, and the ox cart of our mansion will stop outside the forest." ”

Chen Caozhi walked back to the cottage and asked Gu Kaizhi, Xu Miao, and Liu Shangzhi to accompany Ding Chunqiu to talk, he followed the Lu Mansion messenger to the peach forest, and saw a beautifully decorated ox cart parked on the side of the forest stream, and several servants standing by the ox cart.

The brocade curtain of the car was lifted, and a little maid who combed a double bun came down first, followed by a girl with a foundation and blue and white skirt, the fallen horse bun was lively and pretty, and her bright eyes were looking forward to the autumn water, this girl saw Chen Caozhi, a pair of beautiful eyes smiled into two crescents, and her crisp voice was full of joy: "Chen Caozhi, that jade version seems to have come to life, I am here to tell you." ”

Chen Caozhi saw that it was Lu Weirui, and he was also happy in his heart, asked about the situation of the jade version, and said: "Since there is vitality, then use a few straw ashes, bury them under the roots, don't water, this winter has enough cold rain, and then watering will rot the roots." ”

When Chen Caozhi spoke, Lu Weirui looked at Chen Caozhi with a pair of wonderful eyes wide open, even though Chen Caozhi's mind was calm, he was also a little hot by these clear and clean eyes.

"Yes," Lu Weirui nodded: "I like this jade version so much, I was afraid that it would be dry last month, so I watered it too much." ”

Chen Caozhi said: "Little lady of Weirui, please see, this peach forest is not taken care of, but it grows very well, now the leaves are gone, and the branches and leaves are drawn in the spring, and the peach blossoms are full of branches, so the planting of flowers and trees should not be too careful, the roots should be stretched, the soil should be even, the soil should be tight, and the planting should be very careful.

This is the planting method in Liu Zongyuan's "Planting Trees and the Biography of Guo Luluo", which Chen Cao read in his previous life, and now he said it to win Lu Weirui's nod.

The sun was shining in the water, the smoke was curling, and an elderly servant woman urged the little lady to return to the city.

Lu Weirui said: "Chen Caozhi, then I'll go back, can you come to my garden to see my flowers on the day of your absence?" I want to ask you a lot. Seeing Chen Caozhi hesitate slightly, he said, "I will ask my father to send someone to invite you." ”

Lu Weirui got into the ox cart, and then lifted the curtain and asked: "Chen Caozhi, why did you offend my sixth brother, I asked him to bring you a word and refused to say a word, and I said that you were very embarrassed, but I didn't believe a word." He didn't let Chen Caozhi answer, he smiled, waved his hand, put down the curtain, and the ox cart drove slowly.

Chen Caozhi watched the ox cart go away and walked back alone, feeling a faint and misty joy in his heart.
