When Chen Shang, Chen Caozhi, and Liu Shangzhi went to Gu Mansion with Gu Kaizhi for a banquet, Hengtang 6 Mansion had a sharp turmoil.

Chen Caozhi's entry into Jiankang is so powerful, and was also accepted into the mansion by the king of Huiji, how can the five soldiers Shangshu 6 Shi not know, his heart is extremely angry, 6 Shi has never seen Chen Caozhi, and he does not plan to see, he does not think how heroic Chen Caozhi is, only thinks that this is the Beidi Shi clan in order to suppress him 6 clan, only deliberately held Chen Caozhi so high, want to see his 6 clan jokes, 6 Shi has always been extremely dissatisfied with the northerners Nandu and their Wu people to compete for land and profit, although he occupies an important position in the imperial court, but he has a lot of criticism of the government and politics, and he does not respect the power minister Huan Wen, Therefore, he regarded Chen Caozhi as the forerunner of the Beidi Shi clan's challenge to his Wu people, and he had to face the attack.

In the afternoon of this day, 6 Shi heard from his son 6 birds that Chen Caozhi entered Jiankang on the same road as Zhang Mo and Zhang Wenjun, and Jiankang rumored that 6 had agreed to the marriage of Chen Caozhi and 6 Weirui, and was about to marry Yunyun soon, so he was so angry that he rushed to question his younger sister-in-law Zhang Wenjun.

6 began with 6 Na brothers' house brother adjacent, there is an alley between the two houses, no need to enter and exit from the gate can communicate with each other, 6 began to bring two small servants from the small door to the third brother 6 Na house, asked Zhang Wenjun in the back garden, then rushed to come, just saw Zhang Wenjun and 6 Wei Rui in the back garden swing frame, a little maid in the eyebrows flying and dancing said something, as if to say Chen Caozhi entered the city when the ten thousand empty alleys of the grand occasion.

The little maid who spoke was a short hoe, she and the hairpin flower went to see Chen Caozhi enter the city, and wanted to pass a few words for the lady of Weirui, but she couldn't squeeze through, and there was no way to say those words to Chen Caozhi in front of everyone's eyes, so she followed Chen Caozhi to Situ Mansion, and saw Chen Caozhi enter Situ Mansion and Hairpin Hua rushed back, this is the third time to describe Chen Caozhi's appearance and the grand occasion to the little lady of Weirui, the little lady of Weirui can't get tired of listening to it, the smile is in her heart and eyes are out, The short hoe and hairpin flower have not seen the little lady smile so happily for a long time, so the more they talk, the more energetic they become, sometimes they can't help but be a little exaggerated and untrue, for example, Ran Sheng is described as having a zhang high, Qi to the eaves, Chen Caozhi didn't say anything on the high-cover carriage, in the short hoe, Chen Caozhi simply shouted all the way "non-6 Wei Rui will not marry" into Situ Mansion - 6 Wei Rui smiled and shook his head to express disbelief, the short hoe and the hairpin flower also colluded, and the words were chiseled.

At this time, the short hoe saw that 6 Shi was striding with an unkind face, so he quickly closed his mouth and stepped aside.

As soon as 6 arrived, he stared at Zhang Wenjun and a few maidservants beside 6 Weirui and said in a deep voice: "You go to the garden gate first and wait." ”

The maids and servants looked at Mrs. Zhang Wenjun, hesitated slightly, and then became furious and shouted, "Get out, get out!" ”

Several maids and servants were so frightened that they hurriedly escaped from the garden, and only Zhang Wenjun and 6 Weirui were left under the swing frame, and there were 6 Shi who stood on the opposite side and the two servants of the 6 Shi stood under a flower stand several zhang away.

Zhang Wenjun knew that the second uncle 6 was originally here for Chen Caozhi to enter Beijing with her, and was originally a little worried, but the second uncle's rude drive away her servants made her very angry, she was the girl of the Zhang family of the Wu County clan, and she was also arrogant, and she was respectful and respectful to her on weekdays, how could she have suffered such a grievance, and looked at 6 Shi coldly at the moment, and only took 6 Weirui's hand and signaled her not to be afraid.

6 When he saw Zhang Wenjun like this, he became even more angry, and said loudly: "Zhang, is it true that Chen Caozhi entered Beijing with you?" ”

Zhang Wenjun was also angry, and sneered: "Second uncle, is this interrogating the prisoner?" ”

6 Shi was so angry that his forehead was bruised, and he said: "I only asked if you entered Beijing with Chen Caozhi's fellow travelers, can't you ask this?" ”

Zhang Wenjun said: "The second uncle can go and ask my fifth brother Zhang Andao. ”

Zhang Mo had already agreed with Zhang Wenjun that if 6 Shi asked about walking with Chen Caozhi, he would let Zhang Wenjun push it on him, let 6 Shi ask him, and he would have something to deal with.

6 Shi said angrily: "I only ask you, you are a member of my 6 clan, don't ask who you ask!" ”

Zhang Wenjun couldn't help but be a little scared when he saw the appearance of 6 Shi's eyes bulging and his eyebrows open, and said: "I entered Beijing with my fifth brother and met Chen Caozhi by chance, and I entered the city yesterday, and Chen Caozhi is today-"

A maid at the gate of the garden said timidly: "Madam, An Daogong is here." ”

6 Shi Dao: "Zhang Mo came just in time, I have something to ask him." ”

As soon as Zhang Mo entered the garden gate, he heard 6 Shi call his name, only the elders can call his name to the younger generations, otherwise it is rude, Zhang Mo was annoyed, strode over, and saw his cousin Zhang Wenjun with tears in his eyes, this is bullying his Zhang family, angry, and asked: "6 Shi, you ask me what is the matter!" ”

6 Shi was almost angry, and said angrily: "Zhang Andao, why did you introduce Chen Caozhi to Beijing with you, isn't this bad for my 6 reputation!" ”

Zhang Mo said: "It's strange, who am I Zhang Mo dating with, who am I walking with, do I still need others to take care of it?" ”

6 Shi said loudly: "Zhang Andao, I don't care who you live with, but why did you deliberately lead Chen Caozhi into Beijing with my 6 clan's people, how bad is this in the eyes of outsiders?" ”

Zhang Mo said: "I entered Beijing with my sister, and Chen Caozhi also entered Beijing at this time, what is so strange about being together for a few days, could it be that Chen Caozhi can't go this way, or I want to make way for Chen Caozhi?" ”

6 Shi said angrily: "Zhang Andao, you are strong!" He said to Zhang Wenjun again: "If you still regard yourself as a member of the 6th clan, you must teach Wei Ruizhen to be quiet and self-controlled, and don't do ugly things that insult the door, otherwise, I will order the third brother to divorce you!" ”

Zhang Mo was furious: "6 Shi, it is not easy to divorce my Zhang girl, you dare to be so rebellious in front of me, you must be despising me Zhang Mo has no official and no position, right, if I want to be an official, I can do it next month, but I like mountains and rivers, and I can't bear restraint, I don't want to be looked down upon by the cowards and laymen today!" ”

Zhang Mo's words are true, when the king of Langya recruited him as the chief of the palace, Geng Bing, who was in power for a while, asked him to join the army, but he politely refused, his brother Zhang Pingzhang Changzong was in the service, only not under the five soldiers Shangshu 6, with Zhang Mo's family and prestige, it is indeed very easy to be an official.

6 began to jump like thunder, Zhang Mo actually said that he was a cowardly official, which was a great humiliation, and pointed to the garden gate to order the eviction: "This is my 6 clan's mansion, please leave." ”

6 Wei Rui has never seen such a fierce dispute since she was a child, her face was pale, her heart was frightened, she knelt on the ground and whimpered: "Second uncle, fifth uncle, don't quarrel, don't quarrel, it's all Wei Rui's bad-"

6 Wei Rui cried, 6 Shi and Zhang Mo both felt that their anger was a little big, this matter didn't have to be like this, but 6 Shi was stubborn and self-serving, and Zhang Mo was arrogant, the matter had come to this point, and there was no reason to apologize to the other party.

Mrs. 6 Zhang Wenjun wanted to pick up 6 Weirui, but 6 Weirui couldn't kneel and couldn't get up, crying non-stop.

6 The order to evict the guest was issued, Zhang Mo couldn't stay here anymore, and said: "Sister Xu, you and Wei Rui will follow me to the fourth brother's mansion for a few days, and you will get sick here." ”

Zhang Wenjun thought about it, and the second uncle 6 was so stiff that he had to take shelter for a few days, so he ordered the maid to come in and pick up the 6 leaves, and ordered the servant to pack up the luggage and prepare to go to the fourth brother Zhang Changzong's mansion-

6 He stomped his foot with hatred, and went back with two servants.

When he returned to the house at 6, he saw that his wife Zhang Wenjun and his daughter 6 Weirui were gone, and asked about the situation, but there was nothing to do, shaking his head and sighing, so he immediately drove to Zhang Shizhong's mansion to comfort his wife and daughter, Zhang Wenjun asked her husband to rest assured, she and Wei Rui will go back after staying in Zhang's mansion for a few days.

At night, Chen Caozhi and Liu Shangzhi, as well as the third brother Chen Shang, had a long conversation in Gu Kaizhi's study, Gu Kaizhi looked at Chen Caozhi's "Eight Heavenly Dragon Statues" and was surprised, and said: "Tomorrow I will take this painting to Waguan Temple, let the elder Zhu Fatai see, you can't paint Buddha murals!" ”

It turned out that when Gu Kaizhi recommended Chen Caozhi to Zhu Fatai to paint murals with him, Zhu Fatai was worried that Chen Caozhi's painting skills were shallow and could not show the solemnity and deterrence of the Buddha, so he did not agree.

Chen Caozhi said: "If you really want to paint Buddha murals, I will be an assistant to Changkang, I am not as idle as Changkang." ”

Gu Kai's way: "Zizhong should not underestimate the Waguan Temple, the Waguan Temple can be said to be a royal temple, every year in the Buddhist court, the queen mother, the emperor will personally go to the Waguan Temple to worship the Buddha, the prince and even the people of the Shishu are happy to go to the Waguan Temple to listen to Zhu Fatai lectures, the son is now famous, the name has not yet been highlighted, and the painting murals in the Waguan Temple is a good opportunity, by the way, the five Buddha statues of the Waguan Temple are the sculptures of Mr. Dai Andao of Yanxi, known as the Waguan Temple. ”

Chen Caozhi said: "Well, if Zhu Fatai doesn't think I'm ugly, then I'll enlarge this eight-part Tianlong statue and paint ten of them - but won't Changkang want me to accompany you to visit Mr. Antao tomorrow?" ”

Gu Kaizhi said: "Yes, then let's go to Zhangfu in the morning and Waguan Temple in the afternoon, how about it?" ”

The doorman came to report, and the inspector Kong Wang Kong Deze asked to see Gu Gongzi and Chen Gongzi.

Gu Kai was stunned for a moment and said, "What is Kong Wang doing when he comes to see Zizhong?" Asked Chen Caozhi: "Zizhong and Kong Deze know each other?" ”

Chen Caozhi has heard of this Kong Wang, the same Kong Wang who proposed to 6 Weirui, what did Kong Wang do when he came to visit him?

Gu Kaizhi said: "I know Kong Deze, but I don't have much friendship, he came for Zizhong - Zizhong, Kong Wang is still unmarried." ”

Liu Shangwei said with a smile: "This Kong Wang can be regarded as bold. ”

Chen Caozhi smiled and said, "Please let him in, I really want to see this Kong Wang." ”

Kong Wang came to Gu Kaizhi's study with a scholar, met Gu, Chen and others, and said straight to the point: "I have heard the name of Qian Tang Chen Zizhong for a long time, and I have come to ask for advice." ”

Chen Caozhi saw that this Kong Wang had an elegant appearance and a good temperament, but there seemed to be an aggressive meaning between his words, and said lightly: "How dare you, it's just a waste of fame." ”

Gu Kaizhi took a copy of "Ming Shenghu Treatise on Xuanji" on the book case and handed it to Kong Wangdao; "Brother Deze, please see, this is Zizhong's masterpiece, Confucianism and Xuantong, I just read one, it's really wonderful."

Kong Wang took it and opened it casually, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, showing disdain, and said in his heart: "Chen Caozhi's calligraphy is so cheesy, it seems that it is really wasted, calligraphy is like this, it is okay not to read this kind of article." He closed the book in his hand and said to Chen Caozhi: "Chen Gongzi, I want to talk to you alone." ”
