15. Stop the clouds

Chen Caozhi put the two long-edged pens on the inkstone, crossed his fingers, looked at the words he wrote, and felt that both styles of writing had improved, and he was quite gratified.

Scattered cavalry Chang Shi Quanli had been immersed in Chen Caozhi's unique calligraphy, and then found that Chen Caozhi used these two styles to write a four-word poem in imitation of the "Book of Songs", and the whole ceremony was also considered to be well-read, but he did not know the source of this poem, he chanted in the official Luoyang dialect of the Jin Dynasty:

"The mist stops the clouds, the rain is wet, the eight tables are dusk, and the flat road is blocked.

Quietly send Dongxuan, spring mash alone. Good friends are leisurely, scratching their heads and prolonging.

The clouds stopped and the rain was wet. Eight tables are the same as dusk, and the flat land becomes a river.

There is wine and wine, and the east window is leisurely. I wish to cherish people and obey them.

The tree of the East Garden, the branches are glorious again. actually used the new good to attract the rest of the feelings.

People also say: the sun and the moon are in the signs. Anderson urged the banquet and said that he was alive.

Flying birds, self-courting, idle, good sound and harmony.

Is there no one else? There are a lot of thoughts. If you don't want to get anything, how about holding a hate! ”

After chanting, he praised: "Than Xing, mourn but not complain, the flow of the Chengguo style is also a good poem!" Good poetry! Then he asked: "the little friend, what is the name of this poem?" Who did it? Without waiting for Chen Caozhi to answer, he himself waved his tail and laughed loudly, saying: "Presumably, Caozhi's little friend is going to say again, 'Jun eats chickens and thinks they are delicious, do you still ask which chicken was born?'" 'Haha, wonderful! ”

Ding Yi and Zhen Wenqian looked at each other, and they didn't understand the meaning of Quan Li's words, what kind of chicken and hen, it was inexplicable, but one thing was clear, Quan Li admired Chen Caozhi very much, and even called Chen Caozhi a little friend regardless of respect and inferiority, which really surprised Ding Yi and Zhen Wenqian.

Chen Caozhi bowed and said: "The elder has a question, the kid dares not to answer, this poem is called "Stopping the Clouds", entrusted with friends, thinking of old relatives." ”

Quan Li shook his head in admiration, and ordered the waiter to put away Chen Caozhi's words, he wanted to take it away, and smiled at Yu Wenqian: "Ding's lady has such a little lang, it is not easy for Yu Jun to marry, haha, Brother Ding, I am leaving." He didn't wait for the master to send him off, and walked out of the hall, and there were all his servants under the hall.

Zhen Wenqian was full of shame, although Quan Changzhi did not say that Chen Caozhi's calligraphy was above him, but the attitude was self-explanatory, especially the last sentence "It is not easy to marry", which simply made him feel self-ashamed, stiffened a face that was difficult to hide with powder, said goodbye to Ding Yi, and did not mention half a sentence of asking for marriage, and hurried away.

Ding Yi still didn't come back to his senses, he forgot to send off the two distinguished guests when they went out, turned his head to look around, and in addition to a few waiters in the main hall with bright windows, he and Chen Caozhi were left.

Chen Caozhi was about to get up and go back to the small courtyard, but he heard Ding Youwei's voice coming from behind the beautifully carved bamboo curtain on the left side of the hall wall: "Xiaolang, come here." ”

Chen Caozhi went straight to open the curtain and went in, and saw his sister-in-law Ding Youwei and her uncle Wu sitting across the case, Swift and Ah Xiu standing on the side, the sister-in-law's hat had been taken off, her eyes were as bright as stars, and she was full of indescribable joy.

Wu was at a loss, so she only saw Chen Caozhi and Zhen Wenqian competing in calligraphy, and it didn't seem to be distinguishable, so why did Zhen Wenqian quit and don't marry Youwei?

Wu got up and was about to go out and ask what was going on? As soon as he opened the bamboo curtain, he saw that the distinguished guest Quan Chang Shi went and returned, so he hurriedly retreated, and then heard Ding Yi calling: ", Quan Chang Shi has something to ask you." ”

Chen Caozhi returned to the hall, only to see the free and easy Quanzi Jing smiled and took a roll of paper from the entourage next to him, and handed it to Chen Caozhi: "Recently, I have been tired and forgetful, this is the old man who gave the flute by the river yesterday to you, and it recorded all kinds of secret methods on how to maintain Ke Tingdi, which is strange, how did he know that the old man would definitely meet you again?" - the little friend, that Ke Tingdi is unique in the world, you have to cherish it. ”

"What? Ke Tingdi? Ding Yi was surprised: "Ke Tingdi is Huan Yihuan's favorite thing to join the army, why did he give it to Chen Caozhi?" ”

Huan Yi, the word Shuxia, the small word Ye Wang, Ziye, the ancestral home of Qian Guo Xuan County, is the son of the famous general Huan Xuan, and the Huan Wen family of the Han Guo Longkang is a distant relative, the current Huan Wen military government to join the army, known for its elegance, good music, the best of the song, known as the first in Jiangzuo.

Quan Li smiled: "In addition to King Huanye, who else has such a spacious style?" However, after giving the flute, King Huanye still suddenly lost, reluctant to give up, and could not forget the feelings, so as to let the old man visit on his behalf, and hope that the little friend will cherish this flute. ”

Chen Caozhi said: "It's really Ke Tingdi, yesterday's gift of the flute was the famous Huan Yi, Huan Yi is a famous person in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there is a writing in "The World Says New Words": Huan Ziye every time he hears a song, he calls 'Na He', Xie Gong heard it, and said: 'Ziye can be said to have always been affectionate. 'Elegant and profound, fascinating. Immediately said: "The gentleman does not take the favor of others, please ask all the attendants to bring this flute back to Huan to join the army." ”

Quan Li laughed and said, "How can this be true! If this is the case, wouldn't King Huanye be laughed at, and his name would be retired for half a lifetime! By the way, there is one more thing, the old man almost forgot about it, ——," said and rubbed his head, and continued: "You recorded the scores of the two pieces you played yesterday, King Huan Ye loved those two pieces very much, and he only listened to them once, but he didn't remember them all. ”

Chen Caozhi said: "How about allowing me to record the score carefully, and then hand it over to the full attendant tomorrow?" ”

Quan Li said: "Okay, the old man will send someone here tomorrow to pick it up." He turned his head to the attendant beside him and said, "Remind me tomorrow morning, so as not to forget it again." ”

The attendant replied, "Yes." ”

……

Ding Yi returned to the main hall after sending off the whole gift, and Wu was waiting for him, asking what was going on? Can't the young marriage be successful?

Ding Yi, who was wearing a black gauze hat, twisted his white beard, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Didn't you listen to what Quan Chang said? Ding's lady has such a young man, who dares to marry! ”

Wu Shi said angrily: "Youwei is no longer a member of the Qian Tang Chen family, if it weren't for the husband's tolerance and allowing his Chen uncle and nephew to visit once a year, how could Chen Caozhi get into my Ding family's door?" even came to take care of the matter of getting married, what does this have to do with him Chen! ”

Ding Yi was not particularly angry this time, and said: "I still don't want to marry Xiaowei, so I launched her Xiaolang to support me, I didn't expect Chen Caozhi to be so talented, even Huan joined the army, and all the permanent servants valued him, so it seems that this Chen Cao should not be under his brother Chen Qingzhi before." ”

Wu said: "Even if Chen Qingzhi doesn't die young, he can still be promoted to a high-grade position with his humble family!" According to the concubine's body, even if this Chen Caozhi is talented, it is only the future of a low-grade turbidity official, and he can't be compared with my Ding family in Qian Tang. ”

Ding Yi was still twisting his beard and shook his head, and said: "That's it, Xiaowei is hard to marry, and it's not easy for me, who is an uncle, to force her, and it's not good to spread her reputation, after all, it's a virtue for women to keep festivals, just let her go——"

"Ahh Wu's eyes widened and said, "Husband wants to let Youwei go back to Chenjiawu?" ”

Ding Yi smiled and said, "There is no reason! I won't be as confused as my first brother, how can the Ding girl who picked her up let her go back to the cold door again, won't my Qian Tang Ding become the laughing stock of others! He took a breath and continued: "I mean that if you are willing to keep the festival, you will follow her, and in the future, you don't have to go around asking people to match her - alas, this time the marriage failed, and then Yu Wenqian felt embarrassed again, and I just hope that the Yu family will not be angry with my Ding family, the Shi clan is out of harmony, and it is always not beautiful to be in the same county." ”

Wu said: "If you want to hate, you will only hate Chen Caozhi, and you can't blame our Ding family." ”

Ding Yi was silent, and said in his heart: "The Qian Tang clan has always laughed coldly at the marriage between my Ding family and the Hanmen Chen family, now it's okay, the head of the county Shi clan Quan Changzhi also saw it, and it was not entirely because of the first brother who married Chen Qingzhi back then, although the family background of the Chen family is modest, but virtue and talent are still commendable, don't the whole Changzhi also appreciate Chen Caozhi's talent?" The spread of today's events may be beneficial to the declining prestige of my Ding clan. ”
