6 Wei Rui took a short hoe and two hairpins to the bank of the Jiuqu River behind the Wanshan Inn, and saw four 6 private soldiers following her, 6 Wei Rui ordered: "Don't follow, I'll enjoy okra on this riverside." The four 6 privates stood still and did not follow.

The short hoe saw that 6 Wei Rui was in a hurry, looking happy, and really thought that there was a famous okra on the riverbank, and said in his heart: "The little lady has cried sadly since that day when she separated from Tongyun Niangzi, and she has not cried again in these days, but she is often stunned and rarely speaks, which is really worrying, but fortunately, the little lady still loves flowers and flowers, and she can share her worries." ”

The short hoe and the hairpin looked at each other, and their hearts were secretly happy.

The Jiuqu River turned and bent 6, and the three of them walked downstream along the river bank, turned a bend, and saw two horses tied under a red poplar, and the tall Ran Sheng turned out from behind the tree, but Chen Caozhi was not seen.

The short hoe was surprised and happy when he saw Ran Sheng, and hurriedly asked, "Xiao Sheng, why are you here Chen Langjun?" ”

Ran Sheng gave a salute, smiled and turned his head to look at the Jiuqu River, signaling the three of the six Weirui masters and maidservants to look over there-

There was a bamboo canopy boat more than two feet long moored by the river, and Chen Caozhi stood at the head of the boat and greeted: "Wei Rui is here." ”

The short hoe and hairpin, look at Chen Caozhi and look at 6, Wei Rui looked at each other, and then understood why the little lady was so happy, it turned out that Chen Langjun was waiting here!

6 Wei Rui Rongguang was seven points happy and three points shy, and asked: "Chen Langjun, how did you come here?" ”

Chen Caozhi: "I came back to Jiankang yesterday and really wanted to see you coming." ”

6, Wei Rui looked at Chen Caozhi on the bow of the boat, it seemed to be quite different from the past, Chen Langjun in the past was always unclean, like a wet spring willow, but today, the hem of the robe is full of mud and lacquer yarn, and the small crown exposes scattered silk, but he is still clear and energetic——

6, Wei Rui felt that she had known and fallen in love with Chen Langjun for more than three years, and Chen Langjun at this time was the most moving.

Chen Caozhi said: "Wei Rui came on the boat." ”

6, Wei Rui carried the corner of her skirt and carefully went down to the riverbank, Chen Caozhi stretched out his hand to pull her onto the boat.

The short hoe and hairpin flower called: "Little lady-"

Chen Caozhi said: "The short hoe also came up, and the hairpin flower was waiting on the shore to be asked, and it was said that the little lady would take a boat to play for a while." ”

It was an old man who was in charge of the boat, looking at the beautiful Chen Caozhi and 6 Weirui, he felt that these two were really a good match, and the old man smiled and shook the oar against the water.

Sitting on the bow of the boat with a short hoe, Chen Caozhi and 6 Weirui knelt face to face in the bamboo canopy, and Chen Caozhi pulled up the coarse ramie curtain to separate the two people.

6 Wei Rui stared at Chen Caozhi with wonderful eyes and asked softly: "Did Chen Langjun get drenched in the rain last night?" ”

Chen Caozhi insisted on 6 Wei Rui's left hand kissed the back of her hand and said: "I prepared rain gear, and later took shelter from the rain in Yanling Jizi Temple, and I was fortunate to get a treasure." As he spoke, he took out the rubbing.

6 Wei Rui smiled very sweetly when she saw it, stretched out her hand and touched Chen Caozhi's cheek and said, "Chen Langjun rushed from Jiankang to Qu'a, so tired—I'm so happy, I really didn't expect to see you today." ”

Chen Caozhi said: "When you go back to Wu County, I will visit you by chance, and no one can stop us." ”

6 Wei Rui nodded vigorously and said, "Yes." ”

6. Cao Zhi untied the burden around him, took out two paintings, both of which he painted in his leisure time in Xifu, one was "East Garden", and said: "This is the mansion built by the Chen family on the bank of the Qinhuai River, and we will live here after it can be completed by the end of next year." ”

6 Wei Rui looked at the beautifully painted pavilions and said in a low voice: "As long as you can be with Chen Lang, you can be anywhere." ”

Another painting is the chrysanthemum platform of Xinting, which is dyed with various chrysanthemums with small freehand brushwork, and a pair of young men and women stand hand in hand to watch the scenery of mountains and rivers -

Chen Caozhi said: "Wei Rui, I don't have any other gifts to give you, I painted these two paintings, and-" Chen Caozhi took off a small piece of jade from his neck and held it in his palm and said: "This is what my mother left me, I give it to you." "So I tied it to 6 Wei Rui, and gently put the little jade pei into the collar of 6 Wei Rui and slid it into the bulging ** room——

6, Wei Tho's face was flushed, and he leaned down on Chen Caozhi's chest, hugged him tightly for a while, looked up to find Chen Caozhi's lips, and his lips were connected, and he was dizzy-

I heard the short hoe raise his voice in the bow of the boat: "The little lady is in the cabin." He said in a low voice: "Steward Cai is asking questions on the shore." ”

6, Wei Rui left, Chen Caozhi's fiery lips were straightened, her cheeks were hot, she smiled shyly, bent down to the bow of the boat, and said to Steward Cai on the shore: "I'll sit and play for a while, and I'll be back soon." "I returned to the cabin and was close to Chen Caozhi, and I didn't want to be separated.

The old man slowly shook the bamboo canopy boat, sailing against the current, neither advancing nor retreating.

After about a moment, Steward Cai called again: "The little lady is going to have breakfast, and she has to hurry away for breakfast." ”

6, Wei Rui and Chen Caozhi's ears grinded, sat up straight, looked at Chen Caozhi steadily, and suddenly said with tears in his eyes: "I really don't want to be separated from Chen Lang-"

Chen Caozhi kissed her hard and said, "I am also a three-year covenant that we will definitely be able to be together, and we will never fail each other." ”

Cai Gong drove the boat back to the flat place on the downstream riverbank, Chen Caozhi helped 6 Weirui ashore, Cai Steward and several 6 private soldiers were stunned when they saw Chen Caozhi, they all knew Chen Caozhi, and they also knew that Wei Rui's little lady often had private meetings with Chen Caozhi, but they didn't expect Chen Caozhi to appear here. 6, Wei Rui three steps and one turn, reluctant to see each other, it is difficult to say goodbye.

6. The convoy set off, Chen Caozhi rode on horseback and watched the convoy go away, only then did he take the horse's head and Ran Sheng to return, and returned to Jiankang Gu Mansion in the evening, Chen Shang had been waiting for a long time, and asked Chen Caozhi to meet the king of Huiji.

Gu Kaizhi asked Chen Caozhi to see 6 Weirui in Qu'a, and he was also very happy, and said: "Yesterday afternoon, Xie Youdu and Zhu Yingtai came to visit, and I said that you went to chase after the 6 little ladies." ”

Chen Shang said to Chen Caozhi: "I told King Ji yesterday that you can't go to the banquet, King Ji asked why I had no excuse and said it directly——"

Gu Kaizhi: "Everyone knows about Zizhong and the 6 little ladies, so why don't you say that Zizhong is going to catch up and see each other, this is exactly Zizhong's affectionate and righteous move." ”

Chen Shang said again: "After hearing this, King Huiji said that today I will invite the eldest 6 Shangshu and the sixteenth brother to see if we can persuade the eldest 6 Shangshu to allow marriage." ”

Gu Kaizhi said happily: "Huiji Wang Ken came forward to marry the 6 little ladies and hopefully." ”

Chen Caozhi smiled, knowing that it was not so easy, and after taking a bath in a hurry, he went to Situ Mansion with his third brother Chen Shang, and went straight to the Yayan teahouse without informing, but saw that 6 had already arrived first-

6. When he saw Chen Caozhi's face, he changed proudly, and said to Sima Yu, the king of Huiji: "The king has nothing else to do, and the servant is leaving." He got up and left.

Seeing 6 Shi's attitude, Sima Yu knew that he couldn't persuade Chen Cao's way: "the matter between you and the 6 girls, this king can't do anything, and I can't help it." ”

Chen Caozhi bowed and said: "I feel the gratitude of the king's gratitude. ”

Sima Yu also stopped mentioning Chen Caozhi's private affairs, and had a secret conversation with Chen Caozhi about the two matters of severing the land and examining the nationality and merging the official and provincial posts, and said for a long time: "How about Cao Zhi returning to the DPRK next year?" Or the prince washes the horse, or the middle scholar—"

The prince washes horses and the Zhongshu Sheren are both seven-rank officials and noble positions.

Chen Caozhi said: "The king also wants to experience a few years in the military government, and he can serve the court more in the military government." ”

Sima Yu understood what Chen Caozhi meant, smiled and nodded: "Then in a few years, I will return to the court and start from the county and county magistrates." ”

Chen Caozhi said: "This time the soil is broken, and the king will fully support the success of the soil break, and the wealth of Guofeng can ensure the peace of Jiangdong for 30 years." ”

Sima Yu, the general affairs of the internal and external affairs, often feel that the treasury is empty, Taicheng Palace is in disrepair, and wants to rebuild the court hall and the main hall are a little stretched, if the soil can increase the national tax revenue, he is happy to see it, and this is a big soil break from Huan Wen, and see how Huan Wen competes with the three Wu Shi clans, and immediately said: "The imperial court has given the Tu Duan Division great power this time, and the princes and nobles who violate the ban can immediately apply to the court lieutenant to investigate." ”

When Chen Caozhi left Situ Mansion, it was already night, and he reviewed the mansion with his third brother Chen Shang and Ran Sheng, Gu Kai's words: "Zizhong, my uncle wants to see you, and Zhang Shizhong has been waiting for you for a long time. ”

Chen Caozhi went to visit Gu Kaizhi's uncle, Gu Minzhi, and greeted Zhang Ping, Zhang Changzong, these two people respectively represent the two families of Wu County, Gu and Zhang, and serve as Shizhong and Yushi Zhongcheng, this high-ranking official, seeing that Gengxu's land judgment order is very strict, for the family's plan, it is natural to seek advantages and avoid harm, Chen Caozhi can now be said to be Huan Wen's henchman, and the left eunuch of the Tu Duan Division, the two of them want to ask Chen Caozhi for the bottom.

Chen Caozhi knew in his heart that after the Gu family and the 6 family reconciled, the relationship between the four major families of Wu County, Gu, 6, Zhu, and Zhang became closer, and Gu Minzhi and Zhang Ping must have discussed with 6 Shi before meeting him, Gu Minzhi and Zhang Ping, although they all appreciate him, but the interests of the family are paramount. Zhang's family is the same as the 6 beginning, and the 6 beginning is the head of the soil division, Gu Minzhi and Zhang Ping, naturally invited him to ask him late at night, and there was no generation of 6 to listen to his tone, because he was Huan Wen behind him, otherwise 6 would have disdained him at all.

Gu Minzhi learned from Gu Kaizhi that Chen Caozhi chased 6 Wei Rui overnight and only asked to see him, but he didn't say a word at this time, so as not to be embarrassed by Chen Caozhi, and only asked about the matter of the local inspection.

Chen Caozhi said that Huan Da Sima was determined to hide more than five households in this landbreak, and the head of the family would be severely punished.

Zhang Ping sneered: "In this way, the Jiangzuo Shi clan has wiped it out, just ask which Shi clan in Sanwu has not taken in the homeless hermitage!" ”

Chen Caozhi said: "It is to be graced by Duke Huan until the end of this month, so that the major families can clean up their household registrations and hand over the hidden households." ”

Gu Min Zhi: "Cao Zhi and my nephew Kaizhi are close friends, and I bluntly said that this big inspection has little impact on the Hanmen Shu clan and the inferior scholar clan, even if there are ten or twenty hidden households handed over, they will be registered in the official government, and then they will pay taxes and serve, but for the wealthy family, there are hundreds of thousands of hidden households, and I will not hide it, I Gu Manor has more than ten servants, tens of thousands of hidden households, and five of them, which is really unbearable if they are all handed over." ”

Zhang Pingdao: "What Brother Gu said is extremely that this big land decision is to compete with my three Wu clans for profit, since the northerners crossed the river to ask for land and ask for help, the interests of my three Wu clans have been damaged, if this big land break is so severe, I am afraid that things will change urgently." ”
