Volume 3 Wonderful Appreciation XVI
Xie Wan and Chen Caozhi waited in the foyer of the 6 mansion, Xie Wan paced back and forth on the high-toothed clogs, looking sideways at Chen Caozhi, Chen Caozhi is still the same unhurried, gentle and calm appearance, Xie Wan secretly praised this son in his heart for his extraordinary bearing, in addition to the cold door, the rest of the talents and qualities are the best choice, if you can really become the son-in-law of the 6 family, its career will be a straight up, although the 6 family is the top door valve of Sanwu, but compared with Wang and Xie, its younger generation has no outstanding children, and Chen Caozhi is the son-in-law, and the advantages should outweigh the disadvantages for the 6 family portal, It's a pity that 6 Shi was stubborn, and he didn't know the reason for this workaround, and if 6 Shi didn't nod, Chen Caozhi couldn't marry a 6 girl.
Xie Wan thought of his niece who was already ten years old, it was also a headache, the woman was talented and her vision was high, there was no one in her eyes, and the children of the Beiqiao family did not have her eye-catching, did she still want the children of the Sanwu clan to come to participate in the monthly Qingtan Yaji of Xie Mansion? Southerners and northerners rarely intermarry, and the Xie clan of Chenjun doesn't want to start this.
Although Xie Wan knew that Chen Caozhi's mystical argument was invincible, and he was even more shocked in Situ Mansion yesterday, he did not put Chen Caozhi and Xie Daoyun together, firstly, because the matter between Chen Caozhi and the 6 girls has been boiling and circulating for nearly three years, and when Chen Caozhi's marriage is mentioned, he will immediately think of the 6 girls, which has become a mindset; In fact, Xie Wan also looked down on the Hanmen and the inferior scholars from the bottom of his heart. He thinks that 6 Shi is stubborn, and analyzes the pros and cons of 6 Shi Chen Caozhi as his son-in-law in an orderly and reasonable manner, which seems to be very insightful, but if Chen Caozhi asks him Xie Shi, I am afraid that Xie Wan will also be angry with 6 Shi, when it comes to the interests of his family, it is difficult for people to be fair and objective, not to mention that since he was defeated in Shouchun, Chen Jun Xie Shi once faced an unprecedented crisis, and Xie Anshi had to go out of the mountain, and finally stabilized the family foundation in the past two years. I'm afraid that the reputation of the family will plummet, at this point, the Chen County Xie family from the south of the river is not as good as the 6 clan that is deeply rooted in Sanwu, and the 6 clan has made rumors that the girl is going to marry a poor family, and it seems that it has not had much impact on the reputation of the 6 clan in the past two years, which is of course because Chen Caozhi is indeed outstanding and excellent, and the 6 clan itself that has been dominant in Jiangdong for two hundred years is also an important reason, which is the advantage of the Dongwu family, even the Langya Wang clan, the first family in Nandu, can not be compared. So Xie Wan didn't think about Chen Caozhi and his niece Xie Daoyun at all, thinking that it was completely impossible.
Xie Wan didn't know that his third sister-in-law Liu Tang had said to Xie Daoyun that "if you are born less than 100 years old, you have to fight if you like it", if she knew, she would definitely scoff at it, thinking that it was a woman's shallow opinion, and strongly opposed it.
Xie Wan's appreciation of Chen Caozhi is also from the bottom of his heart, not hypocritical and sad, but the premise is not to damage his Xie family's interests, so Xie Wan is actually no different from 6 Shi, and he is more vain than the gentle and affectionate 6 Na.
After yesterday's interview with Dazhongzheng, some of the original dissatisfaction with Chen Caozhi has been reduced a lot, he feels that Chen Caozhi really likes Wei Rui, not to climb the family in vain, and wants to borrow the 6 clan to take the throne, but these things 6 Na just put it in his heart to think about it, he did not have the courage to resist his brother and the whole family, he can't marry Wei Rui to Chen Caozhi, this is a very helpless thing, at this time I heard that Chen Caozhi came to visit, and said in my heart: "Chen Caozhi should not ask Xie Wan to intercede, and want to propose to Wei Rui!" ”
Zhang Wenjun on the side saw that 6 Na frowned and was silent, and the steward was still waiting for instructions, so he said: "Husband, what does it matter if you see Chen Caozhi, just treat it as if nothing happened, just like when you were in Wu County before." ”
Na nodded, and instructed the steward to invite Xie and Chen to meet in the main hall, he dressed up and went out, and when he went out, he glanced back, and was facing his daughter 6 Weirui's clear eyes, and the expectant eyes made 6 Na's heartstrings tremble slightly, and he walked out of the study door without stopping.
When Chen Caozhi saw 6 Na, it was like when he was still studying in Wu County, he was free to enter and leave 6 mansions, and he was honored by his juniors, and he was called 6 envoys, polite and impeccable.
Na was very surprised that he didn't have any resentment towards Chen Caozhi, and he was also an elder who was calm. Asked Chen Caozhi about his three years of filial piety, what books he read, and his calligraphy into the country...... Xie Wan on the side was a little surprised, 6 Na's elegance is really admirable, his joy and anger are invisible, and he is simply better than his third brother Xie Anshi.
Na heard that Xie Wan came to ask for a visit to the "Huan Yi Gift Flute Map", so he said: "This picture is hidden in my study. Xie Changzhi wanted to appreciate it, so please go to my study and have a look. "I called a servant and asked the maid to run to the study first and let Zhang Wenjun and 6 Weirui go back to the inner courtyard.
Chen Caozhi and Xie Wan came to the study in the front yard of 6 Na, which was arranged just like the study in the 6 mansions of Wu County. The year before last, 6 was included in Jiankang, and he didn't bring anything else, but he collected and collected the inscriptions, calligraphy and paintings in several large carts and transported them, and he was idle on official business and enjoyed them from time to time.
Na personally took out the scroll of silk "Huan Yi's Gift of the Flute" from a row of bookcases along the wall, turned around, but saw Chen Caozhi and Xie Wan looking at the "Spring Dawn of Jiangling Lake" on the bookcase, Xie Wan sighed at the large drop of ink that appeared on the blank space on the lake: "What a masterpiece, but it is defaced!" ”
Na Dao: "It's a little girl's study, and it will be invalidated accidentally." Before he could put it away, Xie Changzhi smiled. He ordered the servant to put the painting away.
Chen Caozhi stopped and said, "Wait." He said, "6 Envoy, let me look at this painting again." ”
Nazi will not refuse, and exhibits his own "Huan Yi Gift Flute" and Xie Wan to watch.
Xie Wan saw Chen Caozhi staring at the waste painting, so he said: "Cao Zhi and Gu Kaizhi are both disciples and sons of Hedong Wei Association, and they are also good at painting, do you want to save this "Spring Dawn Picture of Jiangling Lake"?" ”
Chen Caozhi nodded and said: "A masterpiece, it's a pity to be scrapped like this, if the 6 envoys allow, Cao Zhi wants to try to redeem it." ”
Xie Wan smiled and said: "This is also an elegant matter, how can Brother Zu Yan not allow it." ”
Na said: "It's a random addition and change, anyway, it's a waste painting." ”
Chen Caozhi knelt beside the bookcase, first took an ordinary paintbrush, dipped it in ink, looked at the picture slightly, and put two ink spots near the ink stain.
"Huh!" Xie Wan and 6 Nadu were surprised. One piece of ink stain is already difficult to deal with, and now there are two more pieces, and three ink spots appear on the surface of the lake expressed by the blank method, which is very dazzling!
Xie Wan was not in a hurry to appreciate the "Huan Yi Gift Flute Picture", and stood on the left side of Chen Caozhi's body to see how Chen Caozhi saved this painting?
Chen Caozhi took another paintbrush dipped in water, and dyed a little on the three ink spots, so that the ink spots appeared to be dark and layered, not just a black piece, and then selected a small tube of purple hair pen from the brush hanging on the pen stand, and carefully outlined it on the largest ink spot with the unique iron money outline method of the Health Association, as if the pavilion and pavilion appeared, and then used vermilion, garcinia cambogia, and cyan to draw the faint color of the purple and red and the verdant mountain scenery with a small freehand method.
Only two quarters of an hour, there are three beautiful islands in the vast Jiangling Lake, the largest one in the middle, the mountains can be seen between the dark shades, the pavilions and pavilions are hidden among the green trees and flowers, those trees and flowers are not distinct, just color rendering, but at a glance, let people know that it is a tree, that is a flower, the intention is to put the pen first, the rhyme is vivid; The other two islands only see flowers and trees floating faintly, and there is a sense of nothingness and etherealism.
Xie Wan exclaimed: "The real thing is to turn stones into golden hands, and the three ink spots turn into three islands in the lake in a blink of an eye, which is wonderful!" Wonderful! ”
Na is also a big surprise, Chen Caozhi is always unexpected and breathtaking.
Xie Wan sighed and asked with a smile: "Jiangling Lake adds three islands, dare to ask Caozhi, what is the name of the three islands?" ”
Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "These three sacred mountains are also, Penglai, Abbot, Yingzhou, and the mountains are in the void. “
A thousand years later, Xuanwu Lake does have such three islands named Penglai, Abbot, and Yingzhou, which are formed by the accumulation of cleaned up silt when dredging the lake, so this is not Chen Caozhi's genius. "Sanshen Mountain, wonderful!" Xie Wan shook his hand and praised. ”
Na was very happy, and when the ink dried a little, he ordered the little servant to send this "Spring Dawn Picture of Jiangling Lake" to Wei Rui to see, which also made Wei Rui happy.
Wei Rui is worried in her stepmother Zhang Wenjun's room, and she doesn't know what Chen Caozhi's intention is? Zhang Wenjun comforted: "Chen Caozhi is just a general courtesy visit, didn't he say that you should wait for him for another three years, so it won't be to ask for something new now, you don't have to worry about him being rejected and cold." ”
Wei Rui said: "But mother, it would be bad if the second uncle broke in at this time." ”
While he was talking, the little maid sent "Spring Dawn Picture of Jiangling Lake", 6 Wei Rui wondered how her father sent this invalid painting in, opened it casually, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Ah, mother, come and see!" ”
Zhang Wenjun didn't know what changes had occurred in the painting, Wei Rui was so happy that her cheeks were red, so she came over to take a look, she was also surprised and delighted, and said with a smile: "This is Chen Langjun's handwriting, Chen Langjun rescued your painting." ”
Wei Rui wanted to jump up happily, sitting there with her fingers twisted together, her heart fluctuating, staring at Mishima in the painting, and suddenly stood up: ", I'll go to the back garden for a walk. Quickly out of Zhang Wenjun's bedroom.
Zhang Wenjun was worried that 6 Wei Rui ran desperately to see Chen Caozhi, so he hurriedly followed out, and saw that 6 Wei Rui was indeed going to the back garden, with the wind in her skirt, walking fast, and disappeared after turning the corridor in a blink of an eye. When Zhang Wenjun took a few maids to the back garden, but did not see 6 Wei Rui, the servant woman said that Wei Rui Xiao Pills went out from the back door, saying that she wanted to go boating in Hengtang.
The back garden of the house is the north bank of Hengtang, Zhang Wenjun came out of the small gate of the back garden, and saw a small boat with two oars several feet from the shore, two servants and maids operated the boat, 6 Wei Rui and the little maid short hoe sat on the bow of the boat.
Wei Ruijiao asked in a coquettish voice: "Mother, do you want to take a boat?" ”
Zhang Wenjun shook his head and asked, "Where is Rui'er going?" ”
Wei Rui pointed to the center of the lake: "Go to the island." ”
There is also an island in the center of Hengtang Lake, about two acres are broad, the east side is high, the west side is flat, there are hundreds of canna trees, the flower color is vermilion, bright yellow, the afternoon sun shines, bright and gorgeous.
Zhang Wenjun smiled and advised: "Be careful when getting on and off the boat." ”
Wei Rui responded, and the boat went away.
The boat swings up layers of clear waves, and the delicate 6 Weirui Yuan is like a person in the picture, Zhang Wenjun shook his head with a smile, and said in his heart: "This Chen Caozhi, with a few strokes, has taken away the soul of my family, alas." It's all like this, who else can you marry if you don't marry Chen Caozhi! ”
When the 6 Weirui arrived on the island and watched the canna, she heard the little maid short hoe and said eagerly: "Little lady, little lady, someone has come out over there." ”
Wei Rui ran to the north side of the island with her skirt and looked at the shore of the lake, and saw that it was four healthy servants carrying a flat-shouldered dictionary and a fluttering curtain, and it was naturally Xie Wanshi sitting upright on the flat-shouldered dictionary, followed by a few attendants-
Wei Rui's heart was "pounding" and waiting. Sure enough, I saw an ox cart coming, and the grown man who walked along the side of the ox cart was none other than Ran Sheng. It's a pity that I didn't see Chen Langjun, Chen Langjun was sitting on a cow.
The maid short hoe asked, "Little lady, do you want to shout?" ”
Wei Rui shook her head and said softly, "Throw a stone into the lake." ”
The short hoe's eyes lit up, and he picked up a small stone and threw it into the lake, only to throw it three or four feet away. The splash of water was like a fish "splashing thorns" with a soft sound, which could not alarm pedestrians on the shore of the lake thirty feet away.
The short hoe was in a hurry, and he picked up a bowl-sized stone and threw it into the lake, and with a "bang", a large splash of water splashed her and 6 Weirui's skirts.
The tall and majestic Ran Sheng looked at it now, only glanced at it, and then approached the window and said something to the people in the car, the ox cart stopped, Chen Cao got out of the car, and did not stop, just close to the lakeshore. Walking in the sun, facing the island in the middle of the lake, the picturesque eyebrows and sparkling eyes are clearly visible.
Wei Rui put one hand on his chest and gently moved. Chen Caozhi nodded slightly, although the smiles on the faces of the two people were dozens of zhang away, they could penetrate each other's hearts, and the warmth was infinite.
Wei Rui stood on the small island of the banner pond, watching Chen Caozhi gradually move away until he was gone.
The maid waited for a while, and saw that 6 Weirui had no intention of going back, so she said, "Little lady." Let's go back, by the way, it's time for me to go to my brother. ”
Wei Rui took a boat back to the house, and the little maid went to the front yard to find her brother Chestnut, but she didn't expect Chestnut to have been waiting for her for a while, saying that Ran Sheng said to him when he left before that Chen Langjun was going to Dong'an Temple early tomorrow morning. Zhi Gong has sent his younger brother and son Zhi Fahan to invite.
The short hoe hurriedly told the little lady about this, and 6 Wei Rui went to see her stepmother Zhang Wenjun, Zhang Wenjun smiled and said: "I've seen it today, do you want to see it every day?" ”
Wei Rui's little face was red, and she twisted her waist slightly and coquettishly: "Mother-"
Zhang Wenjun said: "Okay, okay, go early tomorrow morning, anyway, I told your father a few days ago that I want to go to Dong'an Temple for incense, your father has agreed, I will tell him when I have a meal." ”
