The collection of flowers and trees in the Lufu Cherished Garden, with Gu Kaizhi's "Taoist Camellia" as the first product, Lu Weirui's "Cold Rain Camellia" as the second product, and Chen Caozhi's "Melantu" as the third product - for the first two, the Wu County painters present are convinced, not convinced, Gu and Lu are famous, and there are famous teachers to teach, but the third grade of Chen Caozhi They can't understand, born in Qian Tang Hanmen, said that he is a disciple of the Wei Association, but he has not heard of it before, and the painting of this "Melan Picture", most painters think that the painting is sparse, Just a few leaves, how can they compare to the camellias, plum blossoms, and orchids they carefully depicted? But Lu Taishou was in charge, and the two famous artists of the Wei Association and Zhang Mo made a judgment, although these painters had objections, they only dared to slander or complain in a whisper.

That night, Taishou Lu Na feasted the guests in the mansion, and the maid sang "Deer Song" - "I have guests, drumming and blowing sheng...... I have a purpose to drink, Yanle guest ......"

The lights are bright, the servants come and go, and Lu Weirui, the first lady of Wu County, who is in her prime, looks at the lively scene in the hall behind the bamboo curtain, a heart is floating and jumping, refusing to be quiet, there are very wonderful things that dare not think about it, for fear that the wonderful things will dissipate like the morning mist and the sun, so she is not very clear about what the wonderful thing is, but she feels that her heart is both impetuous and happy, and that kind of happiness is like the raindrops on the lotus leaf that are turning and turning, crystalline, clear, mellow and rotating, gathering and scattering-

After the sheng song was blown, the wine feast dispersed, and the young man who was like a cut, like a scholar, was gone, and there seemed to be a tactful recorder in his ears.

……

Although Gu Kaizhi, the idiot gentleman, did not go to participate in the Cherishing Garden Gathering, he was still very concerned about whether his painting "Taoist Camellia" could get the first place, and he was waiting in Zhenqing Taoist Academy since the afternoon.

Gu Kaizhi said: "At this time, I have no intention of painting, if the "Taoist Camellia" gets the first place in this elegant collection, I will send it to you, and if it is not the first, I will burn it." ”

Li Daodao: "It's a pity to burn it, so I'll give it to Xiaodao." ”

When Gu Kai heard this, he was displeased, his eyebrows were divided, and he said, "The Taoist is saying that I will definitely not be able to get the first!" ”

Li Daoren hurriedly said: "Gu Gongzi is highly talented, definitely first, definitely first." ”

Gu Kaizhi said: "Since I am sure of the first, why should I burn the painting, what pity do you say?" ”

Li Daoren was stunned and speechless.

At night, the Lu Mansion banquet was dispersed, Chen Caozhi and Wei Xie, Liu Shangzhi and others went out of the city in an ox cart, and the two Gu family servants were waiting outside the West Gate tremblingly, seeing Chen Caozhi and others, like seeing a savior, their teeth fought and said: "Mr. Wei, Chen Langjun, Liu Langjun, you are back, my little Langjun has been waiting in the Taoist courtyard for a long time." ”

Chen Caozhi said with a smile: "Go and tell your family idiot Lang Jun, Yaji is the first to paint him." ”

The two servants rushed away, and after a while, they picked out two lanterns from the Zhenqing Daoist Courtyard, Gu Kaizhi strode forward, several servants followed, and the master of the courtyard, Li Daoren, also followed, congratulating Gu Kaizhi repeatedly.

Gu Kaizhi came over and gave a salute to the Wei Association, and said to Chen Caozhi: "Zizhong, did I bring back the "Daoyuan Camellia Map"? I'm going to give it to the people of Lai Dao. ”

Chen Caozhi said: "All the paintings are left in the Lu Mansion, and they must be hung in the pavilion of the county office for three days for the county people to enjoy, and they will be returned after three days." ”

Gu Kaizhi said: "Li Daoren, that painting will be sent to you in three days." ”

Liu Shangzhi said with a smile: "Brother Changkang, it is better to give people a painting, it is better to give someone money, you send three thousand Wen and five baht to Li Dao people, Li Dao people promise to be more happy." ”

Gu Kaizhi asked Li Daoren: "Is this true?" ”

Li Daoren was more simple, and felt that Liu Shang's words were really heartfelt, and said with a smile: "If Gu Langjun is willing to give paintings and money, then the trail is joyful." ”

Gu Kaizhi laughed and said, "The Taoist is honest, good, three days later, he will send the painting to the Taoist Academy with money." After that, he boarded the ox cart and went to Xiaojing Lake with Chen Caozhi and others.

Gu Kaizhi was full of interest tonight, and said loudly that he was going to recite poetry, Liu Shangzhi saw that the situation was not good, so he dragged Chen Caozhi to Taolin Xiaozhu, preparing to deal with Gu Kaizhi in the first half of the night and the second half of the night.

Here Gu Kaizhi, Liu Shangwei, and Chen Caozhi sat in the grass hall hall, covered the wooden door, and the two braziers were burning.

Chen Caozhi and Gu Kaizhi talked about the collection of cherished gardens, Gu Kaizhi heard that there were prizes, and he was busy saying that he wanted to see what kind of prizes he wanted?

Chen Caozhi asked Ran Sheng to bring out the prize of Gu Kaizhi's first prize in the collection, a lot of pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and a painting "Little Column" by Cai Ju of the Later Han Dynasty.

Gu Kaizhi admired the exhibition and said: "Cai Ju's literary and historical calligraphy and paintings are all famous, and the paintings are very rare, which is quite rare, and Lu Yuanjun will not be stingy." "I asked again what are the prizes of the second-grade Lu Weirui and the third-grade Chen Cao?

Chen Caozhi said: "Lu Weirui is a picture of Zhang Heng's "Eight Directions Divine Beast", and I am Yang Lu's "Gao Shi Tu". ”

"Ahh Gu Kaizhi shouted: "I want Zhang Heng's "Eight Directions Divine Beast Map", "Eight Directions Divine Beast Map" is rarer than "Little Column Girl Picture", I want to learn Zhang Heng's painting of the Divine Beast - this is really unfair, how can there be a second prize better than a first!" ”

Liu Shangzhi said with a smile: "Changkang, Zhang Heng's "Eight Directions Divine Beast Map" is a treasure of the Lu Mansion, and the reward given to his daughter is still the Lu Mansion, wouldn't it be a great loss to give it to you?" ”

Gu Kaizhi said: "This Lu Na is still stingy, extremely stingy!" ”

Chen Caozhi said with a smile: "Changkang, you really want to see that "Divine Beast Map", I can go to the Lu Mansion to lend it to you for a few days another day." ”

Gu Kaizhi was overjoyed, his heart was full of poetry, and he began to sing his poems in the Jinling dialect again, since the last time he chanted poetry hoarsely, he has not chanted poetry all night for a month, tonight the cold wind is howling, the room is warm like spring, and friends sit around, can you not chant poetry?

Liu Shangwei didn't make it, so he had to sit with him, and the maid Gillian said that he would accompany him.

Ran Sheng knelt behind Chen Caozhi, munched on deer breast, and then whispered in his ear: "Xiao Langjun, you go to sleep by yourself, I will praise him." ”

Chen Caozhi smiled and said in a low voice: "But you can't do it again, I'll praise him tonight." To Gu Kaizhi: "Changkang, what you are chanting now are all old works, but are there new works?" ”

Gu Kaizhi said: "I have been busy painting for a month, and there are no new works. ”

Chen Caozhi: "Changkang is full of poetry tonight, if you only chant the old works, it is a pity, you should take advantage of this good night, write a few new poems, the title is called "Night Sitting Yin" or "Yonghuai" How about? ”

Gu Kaizhi thought so, and said: "The Ruan infantry of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest has eighty-two poems of "Yonghuai Poems", and I, Gu Changkang, cannot be less than him. So he went to write poetry alone.

Chen Caozhi and Liu Shangzhi were able to sleep well again.
