When Lu Yu saw his father Lu Shi mention Wei Rui's marriage, he immediately knelt down and said, "Daddy, third uncle, the child has something to do——"

Lu Shi asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Lu Yu first said that Sima Yi, the king of Langya, sent him to Xuzhou to comfort Lu Zhu, and Lu Shi nodded and said: "Okay, if you want to be reused by King Langya, you must be diligent in the king's affairs." ”

Lu Na said: "Lu Zhu's deception in the Taiji Hall was exposed and his reputation was notorious, and Na'er should directly advise King Langya to stay away from such demons It is the responsibility of Wang You, don't blindly flatter and lose your character." ”

Lu Yu was very unconvinced, and said in his heart: "I want to be relied on by King Langya, but you let me make a blunt admonition, isn't this ruining my future?" Where is Lu Daoshou what kind of demon is! Hurriedly said: "Father, third uncle, the child still has an important matter, it is about Sister Rui, Sister Rui has often gone to Waguan Temple to meet Chen Caozhi in the past month, so that rumors have swarmed, and the comments are very evil. ”

Lu Shi raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "There are such things!" ”

Lu Yu said: "This is what the child has seen with his own eyes, that Chen Caozhi is very arrogant, it seems that marrying my Lu girl is a certain and easy thing." ”

Lu Shi suppressed his anger and asked Lu Na: "Third brother, do you know about this matter?" ”

Zhang Wenjun once told Lu Na that Wei Rui went to Waguan Temple to copy the murals, Lu Na didn't care at the time, and later heard that it was Gu Kaizhi and Chen Caozhi who painted murals in Waguan Temple, so he asked his wife Zhang Wenjun, Zhang Wenjun did not hide it, and said: "Husband, why should Rui'er watch Chen and Gu paint in Waguan Temple, my niece Zhang Tongyun also went, and there are servants and maids to follow, the husband knows, Rui'er likes to play, if she is stuffed in the house, she will be sick, and the husband doesn't think Rui'er's recent appearance is different from the past?" Lu Na sighed and didn't say anything more—

Hearing his brother's question, Lu Na had no choice but to reply: "I also know that Wei Rui went to Waguan Temple to paint a new mural in the Daxiong Treasure Hall of Waguan Temple, and Wei Rui went to copy the murals." ”

Lu Yu said: "As far as the child knows, the murals painted for Waguan Temple are Gu Kaizhi and Chen Caozhi. ”

Lu Shi snorted coldly and said to Lu Na: "Third brother, you can't spoil your daughter too much, don't make a scandal that insults the door!" ”

Lu Na blushed and said: "Second brother is serious, my Lu Na's daughter is innocent, and she will never make any ugly trouble!" ”

Lu Shi knew that this third brother was upright and stubborn, but he was extremely spoiled for his children, after the death of Changsheng, there was only one flesh and blood of Wei Rui, and he loved him even more, and said earnestly at the moment: "I also admit that Chen Caozhi is indeed talented, but there is a huge disparity in the family, Wei Rui must not marry him, and for more than a hundred years, my Lu family has had an in-law of the inferior scholar clan!" If Wei Rui marries Chen Caozhi, then my Lu family will become the laughing stock of others, and the prestige of the clan will also be greatly damaged. ”

Knowing that he couldn't argue with his brother about this, Lu Na bowed his head and sighed.

Lu Shidao: "In this way, in two days, send someone to send Rui'er back to Huating Villa, so that the rumors will naturally subside." ”

Wei Rui returned to Huating, Zhang Wenjun inevitably had to go back, Lu Na said: "Second brother, I don't want Rui'er to leave my side, then Chen Caozhi will go to his aunt soon, Chen Caozhi is not in Jiankang, why should Rui'er go back to Huating." ”

Lu Shi nodded: "Well, the third brother will also be strictly controlled in the future, don't let Wei Rui meet Chen Caozhi again." ”

Lu Nawei said yes.

……

In the evening of this day, Wu Xing Taishou Xie An sent people back to Xie Mansion in Wuyi Lane, and presented Xie Wan with a book, and another letter was addressed to his wife Liu Tang, Xie Wan Zhan read the letter, but it was his brother Xie An who asked him to send his third sister-in-law Liu Tang and niece Xie Daoyun to Wucheng, Wucheng is the Wuxing County Governor's Office, and Taishou Mansion is in Wucheng.

Xie An's wife, Liu Tang, went to Wucheng with her husband last year, and she couldn't get used to it, so she returned to Jiankang.

Xie Wan smiled slightly: "My brother misses his old wife." Immediately took the letter to see my sister-in-law Liu Tang.

Mrs. Xie Liu Tang had been waiting for her husband's reply for a long time, Xie An's letter did not mention Chen Caozhi and Xie Daoyun, only said that Liu Tang would take Daoyun to Wucheng to meet him, Liu Tang understood what her husband meant, and her husband refused to let Ah Yuan and Chen Caozhi have a relationship, it seems that it is impossible for Ah Yuan to marry Chen Caozhi.

Mrs. Xie Liu Tang ordered the maid to summon Xie Daoyun and said that she would go to Wucheng in the near future.

Xie Daoyun lowered his eyebrows, his eyelashes flashed, and asked, "Did the third uncle write a letter to the third uncle?" ”

Mrs. Xie Liu Tang observed Xie Daoyun's face and said with a smile: "I can't hide it from you, I did write a letter to your third uncle, it seems that your third uncle thinks that you are not suitable to stay in Jiankang - Yuanzi, there is no way, I can't help you, the most important thing is that Chen Caozhi is obsessed with the Lu girl, otherwise, if you are in love with him, I will do my best to fulfill it, now, when it is broken, it will be broken." ”

Xie Daoyun's expression was as usual, and he said: "The third uncle and aunt misunderstood me, I have no intention of marrying Chen Caozhi, since the third uncle and the third uncle and aunt want me to go to Wucheng, then I will go, but Ah Ji is going back to Jiankang in the near future, and when I see Ah Ji, can my niece set off with the third uncle and aunt?" ”

Mrs. Xie said: "Okay, I know that my family Yuanzi is the most decisive. ”

Xie Daoyun said with a smile: "Third uncle, don't praise me, I will be embarrassed." ”

Mrs. Xie Liu Tang stretched out her hand to flick Xie Daoyun's cheek, and said with a smile: "Will you be embarrassed, play it and see, is your face thin?" ”

Xie Daoyun dodged and said, "If you don't apply powder today, it will hurt if you play it, and tomorrow you will have to apply it thickly and let my uncle play." ”

Mrs. Xie Liu said: "Do you want to go out in men's clothes again?" Let your fourth uncle know that he will scold you. ”

Xie Daoyun said: "I'm going to Wucheng in a few days, and let me pretend to be a man a few times, and the third uncle and aunt will help me take care of some." ”

Mrs. Xie Liu Tang said: "Okay, I'll take care of you, let the talented man wish Yingtai a few more days, and then go to Dongshan in seclusion." ”

……

In the night, Xie Daoyun wrote a letter to Yuan Tong Yuan Zicai in the name of Zhu Yingtai, and sent someone to Yuan's house to hand it over to Yuan Tong the next morning.

Xie Daoyun told the concierge to serve the officer, and the book that was sent to Zhu Yingtai was immediately presented to her, Xie Daoyun read Yuan Tong's book under the window, that is, he picked up the pen and wrote another post, and ordered the government official to go to Gu Yushi's Mansion with a letter and hand it to Chen Caozhi.

On this day, Wang Xianzhi visited, Chen Caozhi was discussing calligraphy and painting with Wang Xianzhi, receiving the letter from Xie Fu, showing the letter, and then asked the visitor to bring it back to Zhu Yingtai, seeing Wang Xianzhi looking at him brightly, he said: "My friend Zhu Yingtai invited me to argue with him on the eighth day of the fourth month of April, and I can't refuse. ”

Wang Xianzhi said: "Tianque Mountain Yaji, I wish Yingtai to become famous in one fell swoop, but in the past month, he has politely refused several Qing talk meetings, and he seems to be reluctant to associate with people, and only Brother Chen seems to have dealings with him." ”

Chen Caozhi said: "Jingkou Xu Xianmin, my hometown Liu Shangwei and Zhu Yingtai are both classmates of Wu County, and they all have contacts. ”

Wang Xianzhi: "On the eighth birthday of the Buddha in early April, when you go to Waguan Temple, you can not only see the murals of Brother Chen and Brother Gu, but also listen to the debate between Brother Chen and Brother Zhu, which is fortunate. ”

After Wang Xianzhi left, Chen Caozhi pondered alone at Xie Daoyun's bookpost -

Gu Yuezhi, Gu Minzhi, Gu Kaizhi, and Xu Miao and his wife went to Xiao Lu Shangshu's Mansion for a banquet today, and the Lu Shi and Lu Na brothers also invited the Shangshu servants to shoot Wang Biaozhi and Zhang Ping, the servants, to accompany them, so as to show that from now on, Gu and Lu Er's family will release their old suspicions and rebuild the old good.

Feng Lingbo is a female dependent, entertained by Mrs. Lu Zhang Wenjun in the inner courtyard, Feng Lingbo saw Lu Weirui, yesterday in Qingximen encountered Lu Fowl, Chen Caozhi didn't care about Lu Fowl's rudeness, but was worried that Lu Weirui was reprimanded by his second uncle Lu Shi, and asked Feng Lingbo to send greetings on his behalf-

Lu Weirui said with a smile: "To Chen Langjun, I am fine, I can go to Waguan Temple to see Gu Langjun on the birthday of the eighth Buddha in early April. ”

When Lu Na returned home yesterday, she did not reprimand her daughter Lu Weirui, but only asked her not to go out again in the near future, and she couldn't help it next month.

Lu Weirui understood what her father meant, and next month Chen Caozhi went to Guxiao Xifu, so that she could go out at will, and she was still very sad at that time, her stepmother Zhang Wenjun interceded for her, and Lu Na promised to go to the Buddhist temple to incense and rejoice on the eighth Buddha's birthday in early April.

Lu Weirui thought to herself: "Chen Langjun entered Jiankang on February 12, I have seen Chen Langjun a total of 17 times in the past month or so, this is already very rare, this is my most lively day, rich and sweet, like a big treasure - Chen Langjun is about to enter the West Mansion, he has to fight for the family, for himself, and for the three-year appointment with me, I must wait until Chen Langjun comes to marry me, as long as I think of being with Chen Langjun, I will not feel depressed, no matter how long it is, I can get through it——"

……

At dusk, Gu Kaizhi, Xu Miao, and Feng Lingbo returned to Gu's mansion and came to the small courtyard to see Chen Caozhi, Feng Lingbo informed Lu Weirui of the situation, Chen Caozhi was slightly relieved, and was glad that Weirui had a father and stepmother who loved her, otherwise he would be very uneasy, and that kind of three-year appointment would be too bitter for Weirui.

Gu Kaizhi and Xu Miao learned that Zhu Yingtai invited Chen Caozhi to debate the Buddha's birthday in Waguan Temple, and they were surprised, Gu Kaizhi asked: "Zizhong, you agreed?" Didn't you refuse Yuan Zicai's invitation! ”

Chen Caozhi said: "This time it was Brother Yingtai who invited me, not gambling. ”

Gu Kaizhi said: "But Brother Yingtai has a word first, if anyone convinces him in the debate, he will not marry for the rest of his life and return to Dongshan to live in seclusion." ”

Chen Caozhi said with a smile: "Brother Yingtai is a talent, I can't do it." ”

Xu Miao said: "So Zizhong plans to lose to Zhu Yingtai in the debate?" This will certainly help him become famous, but it will be detrimental to your reputation. ”

Chen Caozhi said: "I won't tie my hands, this will be a wonderful debate, I want to make the audience feel that the person who is difficult to defend is also a handsome man, and no one dares to despise it." ”

Gu Kai's heart was itching, and he was looking forward to it, and said: "It's hard to get through the time, if only tomorrow is the eighth day of the fourth month." He also said: "When I was young, I had something to look forward to, and I could get my wish the next day, I always went to bed early, and when I woke up, it was the next day, but I hated that today was only the third day of the fourth month, and I couldn't sleep to arrive." ”

Chen Caozhi and Xu Miao both laughed and called Gu Kaizhi's idiotic witty words.
