On the fifteenth day of the month of Qiu, the envoy of the Yan State, Huang Fuzhen, was in the Daji Palace, and the Great Jin Flails were called. Then set off to return to China, Chen Caozhi inevitably wanted to send each other off, from the Baiyuzhou wharf back to Jiankang City was already in the afternoon, and accompanied Ding Licheng to Taicheng Shangshutai to visit Shangshu and lead the Ministry of Shangshu Wang Biaozhi, Ding Licheng is a son of the scholar family, originally Yizhou Yang County Wuyang County County Order, Yizhou Thorn Shi Zhou Chu said that his official reputation is quite good, and now there is Huan Wen recommended, neither promoted, just changed the county for the official, Wang Biaozhi of course will not obstruct, ordered the Ministry of Servants Cao to inspect Wu County, Wu Xing, Huiji, Dongyang four counties can have county orders to fill the vacancy, Cao said: " These four counties are all rich land, the county magistrate is not the children of the big clan can not get, there is no vacancy, only the day before yesterday Dongyang County reported that Wuning County Ling He Ming is seriously ill and can not be a director, and the performance intends to fill the vacancy with his son He Yao.

Wang Biaozhi was old and forgetful, and he had no impression of He Ming in Wuning County, and asked: "He Ming is a child of the He family?" ”

Shi Cao said: "Yes." ”

Wang Biaozhi still remembers that at the end of last year, He Sui and He Zhu's uncle and nephew falsely accused Qian Tang and Chen's case of occupying land, He's failed miserably in this land break, and He Sui's children were not allowed to participate in the fixed products for ten years, and He Zhu was exempted from being a concubine. Why not step on it again, Wang Biaozhi said: "Can the county order also be hereditary!" ”

Servant Cao Ran: "The meaning of the king's servant shooting"

Wang Biao's way: "Let Ding Licheng make up for the lack of Wuning County's order and take office in early November." ”

The waiter replied, "Yes." That is, to go to the text and pass the book.

Ding Licheng was overjoyed to learn that he was going to take up his post in Wuning County, Dongyang County, which is adjacent to Qiantang. It is one of the few wealthy counties in Dongyang County, and the positions of the governors of these large counties were originally held by wealthy families. Ding Licheng was transferred from a small county in remote Xichuan to a large county in Yangzhou, as if in a dream, in order to arrive in early November. Ding Licheng immediately packed up and returned to Qiantang, and after preparing to worship his ancestors, he went to Wuning County to take up his post.

Shen Chiqian decided to go back with Ding Licheng, Shen Chiqian's mother had died of illness three years ago, and his father Shen Jin was far away in Luoyang, and it was Shen Chiqian's uncle and several uncles and uncles who managed the Shen family industry in Wuxingwukang. Shen Chiqian's main purpose when he went back this time was to recruit displaced people from various counties in Wuxing County to prepare for Chen Caozhi's rebuilding of the Beifu Army.

On the morning of the 17th, Chen Caozhi sent away Ding Licheng and Shen Chiqian, and rode back to the city with Ran Sheng and a few personal soldiers. ”

Ran Sheng said: "Sister-in-law Ding, Zong Zhi, and Run'er, aren't they coming to Jiankang?" ”

Chen Caozhi said with a smile: "Wu Ning is not far from Jiankang, compared to Xichuan, it is simply close at hand. ”

Ran Sheng asked, "When will Brother return to Qian Tang to pick up Sister-in-law Ding?" ”

Chen Caozhi hesitated for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law, they should be able to spend the New Year in the East Garden, there will be a lot of things in Beijing recently, you have to pay more attention." ”

Ran Sheng responded: "Yes, I understand. ”

Chen Caozhi did not look back at the house, went to Wuyi Lane to visit Xie Daoyun, these days he went to visit Xie Daoyun every day, check the pulse, check the changes in his condition, ask about diet and sleep, since three days ago after changing the medicine, Xie Daoyun's chest burning sensation has been greatly reduced, he can also eat, and his sleep condition is also better

Chen Caozhi now does not need to report when he enters the Xie Mansion, he goes directly to the Rose Courtyard, and before he enters the courtyard gate, he can hear the music of the lyre "Zheng Zheng Light Zong", but the song "Spring is Always There" was originally affectionate and beautiful.

After the song was played, Chen Caozhi walked into the courtyard and saw Xie Daoyun sitting under the long window of the small hall, bathed in the warm sunshine, although he was thin, but his spirit was good, Chen Caozhi applauded under the corridor and said: "Daoyun plays a good piano." ”

Xie Daoyun raised his head and said with a smile: "Zizhong came early today. ”

Chen Caozhi took off his duties and sat opposite Xie Daoyunqin's case, and said, "My sister-in-law's brother returned to Qian Tang today and sent him here. Are you feeling better today? ”

Xie Daoyun nodded and said, "My body is a little more comfortable." It's just that there is a lot of phlegm. "Xie Daoyun is so clean, but he has this disease. Embarrass her. Especially in front of Chen Caozhi.

Chen Caozhi gave Xie Daoyun a pulse, looked inward, and said for a while: "Don't worry about a lot of phlegm, I dare to conclude now that you are not suffering from stubble, but from fatigue and lung disease, of course, this disease is not light." You have to be healthy for a year. Then he asked, "What have you eaten today?" ”

Xie Daoyun replied: "Build a pear, half a bowl of mutton soup, and drink a glass of honey water." ”

Chen Caozhi nodded and said, "Very good, you have to work hard to add food, and food supplements are no less than taking medicine." "Chronic pneumonia is also a disease of wealth, and if a poor family has this disease, they have no nutrition and nourishment, and they have to work hard. The condition only got worse and worse, and eventually died. Of course, Xie Daoyun didn't have this kind of worry, but she was worried that she couldn't eat.

Xie Daoyun responded: "Yes." ”

After this illness, Chen Cao and Xie Daoyun have a different relationship with the past, in Xifu and Zhousuo, when the two get along, they are divided and evenly matched, admire each other, and cherish each other, but this time she feels completely weak, Chen Caozhi said that she only nodded, is it because she changed back to women's clothes, or because of the patient's cowardice in front of the doctor?

For some reason, Xie Daoyun was a little happy when she thought about it, she liked this feeling, as if she was very attached

Chen Caozhi: "In addition to food supplements and medicine. You still have to exercise, and after a few days, when your body is better, I will teach you to practice the five poultry opera, which was taught to me by Master Ge when I was in Chenjiawu before. ”

Xie Daoyun said: "Five poultry plays, I will."

Chen Caozhi said: "When did you learn it?" ”

Xie Daoyun smiled and said: "Go and shrug, you learned it, I watched it several times when you got up in the morning to practice the five poultry operas, and I learned it."

Chen Caozhi said with a smile: "It turns out that you are stealing from a teacher to learn art. I forgot that you were the smartest person ever. ”

Xie Daoyun squinted his eyes and said, "Do you want me to apprentice!" ”

Chen Caozhi said: "How dare you." He got up and said, "How about I accompany you to the rain corridor?" ”

Xie Daoyun said: "Very good. ”

The two of them walked out of the rose courtyard and walked slowly to the rain corridor, Chen Caozhijue, only tricked him here, and the servants of Xie Mansion were all gone, that is, Xie Daoyun's two personal servants quietly avoided it after serving tea because of the wind and catkins. So that he could be alone with Xie Daoyun. In this regard, Chen Caozhi was slightly embarrassed

There is a small pond on the north side of the rain promenade. The lotus leaves on the pond were ruined, withered and ugly, Chen Caozhi remembered a poem from his descendants, and blurted out: "Leave the dry lotus to listen to the sound of the rain." ”

Xie Daoyun smiled in surprise: "That's what I thought, but the quilt said Chen Cao's way in one sentence: "The ancients and the present people, there is often a match between feelings and feelings." ”

Xie Daoge said: "Zizhong's words are very strange. Who are the ancients and who are the present? ”

Chen Caozhi said with a smile: "I mean that people in a hundred years or a thousand years will also have the idea of staying in the dry lotus and listening to the sound of the rain." ”

Xie Daoyun didn't know what to think of, and was stunned for a while. Suddenly he coughed and put his hand over his lips. turned his back, coughed and wheezed for a while, and asked in a low voice: "Zizhong, is the agreement between you and me still useful?"

Now Xie Daoyun is ashamed to say the words "lifelong friend", because she violated her earlier oath and met Chen Caozhi in women's clothes, without the cover of a scarf and skirt, "A lifelong friend." makes her embarrassed, and she also faintly feels that her feelings for Chen Caozhi have changed somewhat, she still hopes to see Chen Caozhi rise to a high position step by step through unremitting efforts, and hopes that the Qian Tang Chen family will become a prominent family, and sincerely wishes Chen Caozhi can marry Lu Weirui She is willing to see Chen Caozhi smooth and happy, these are the same as what she said to Lu Weirui that day, so what has changed?

Chen Caozhi hesitated slightly, but did not answer. I heard Xie Daoyun laugh at himself again: "It's really strange, my resignation to Huan Da Sima has not been approved yet, is it possible that I can still go to Xifu and join the army!" ”

Chen Cao's feelings couldn't help but say: "Dao Yun." You are my staff. ”

Xie Daoyun looked sideways at Chen Caozhi and shook his head slowly: "I said before that you are a black-headed man." I'll be your staff, but not right now.

The autumn sun is shining, the remnants are silent, quietly listening to the twists and turns of the rain corridor, there is no one behind, Chen Caozhi felt deeply stunned, stood for a while, and said: "Daoyun." I'm leaving, you're so recuperating. I'll come back to see you in two days. walked to the end of the corridor, and heard Xie Daoyun calling behind him: "Zizhong"

Chen Caozhi stopped and turned around. Xie Daoyun walked up and said, "I heard that the third uncle said that you will assist the prince of Huan County to rebuild the Beifu army, but is there such a thing?" ”

Chen Caozhi nodded and said, "Yes."

Xie Daoyun asked: "This matter is obviously not what King Langya wants to see, but why is King Langya willing to support you?"

As soon as Chen Caozhi groaned, he heard Xie Daoyun say: "Zizhong, you have to be careful, don't let Huan Da Sima be suspicious." ”

Chen Cao was grateful in his heart and said, "Thank you for reminding me, I will be properly reconciled, and I will tell you some things in two days."

On the way back to the house, Chen Caozhi said: "Although Dao Yun is sick, his mind is still sharp. Maybe this is also Xie An's reminder to me, but Dao Yun obviously didn't know that I was planning to abolish the emperor for Huan Wen, and with this matter, Huan Wen thought that I was following him with all my heart. ”

On this day, the rumors of Lu La, Zhu Lingbao and others who were filthy to the court began to spread violently in the Jiankang City Tea Shop about Lu La, Zhu Lingbao and others, saying that the two sons born to Tian Meiren and Meng Meiren in the palace in May were probably not born to the emperor, and if the prince was established as a king, the imperial foundation would be tilted

The rumors spread more and more, and people at the time could not distinguish between the false and the real.

I'm sorry for the delay today. (To be continued)
