Volume 4 Insight Fifty-three, bamboo is like a gentleman and plum is like a beauty

According to legend, Jinling Oolong Mountain is the transformation of the oolong in the vast Taihu Lake in the south. The mountain is not high and towering, the foot of the mountain to the halfway of the mountainside is lush with tens of thousands of plum trees, the bamboo forest is verdant above the mountain, and the mountain is horizontal, but it is the ancient pine Tianjiao, the pine forest covers the room, there is the Jizi Palace, and the Yanling Jizi Temple of Qu'a is the place to worship the sage Jizi, this hall was rebuilt by Gu Kaizhi from the ancestor Gu Rong fifty years ago, and now there is the color of vicissitudes of life.

When the light first appeared, Zhang Tongyun came to about 6 Weirui to travel to Wulong Mountain together, and took a group of servants to the side of the plum forest under Wulong Mountain five miles away, 6 Weirui looked at the thin morning mist and a large area of red plums, white plums, green plums, and three-leaf plums, and couldn't help but think of the fact that she and Chen Caozhi met on Huating Meiling in the middle of spring that year, and the plum blossoms in Meiling were not yet in full bloom here

Zhang Tongyun smiled and said: "Wei Rui, I am also a first trip to this Oolong Mountain, I returned to Wu County with Gu Lang last year, and only stayed in the village for one night, and I didn't have time to play, but at that time the plum blossoms had not yet opened The maid and maid and the maid and the short hoe suddenly asked: "Ah Tong lady, why didn't your Gu Langjun come to accompany you on the trip?" Zhang Tongyun said with a smile: "I want to accompany Wei Rui, Gu Lang wants to accompany other friends to short hoe is very smart, looking at Zhang Tongyun's smiling appearance, I guessed that this is a chance for Wei Rui little lady and Chen Langjun to meet, the short hoe is very lively, and the little lady is happy, she will be happy."

A group of people sent up the mountain, the plum forest is fragrant, the bamboo forest is blue, to the top of the mountain, suddenly opened, covering an area of hundreds of hectares of Gu's manor in full view, and at this time, the eastern sky is only shining through. Zhang Tongyun and 6 Wei Rui visited the statue of Jizi, the two of them stood on the Danhui in front of the hall, looking down the mountain, Zhang Tongyun was a little short-sighted, where to see the bottom of the Baizhang Mountain, a little maid next to him suddenly said: "Lady, they are here." ”

Pointing to the way, Tongyun squinted his eyes and looked over, and saw that there seemed to be several people riding horses on the manor, and knew that Changkang was bringing Chen Langjun here, so he beckoned 6 Wei Rui and said: "Wei Rui, come and see, which one is your Chen Langjun?" ”。

6 Wei Rui's delicate eyebrows wrinkled cutely, and said: "Then you first recognize Zhang Tongyun Jiao and said: "Wei Rui, you don't know that my eyesight is not good, I can only be short-sighted and not far away, although I can see those figures." But it's all a blur, and the fog hasn't cleared, how can you tell the difference, you come, you come"

6 Wei Rui stared closely, Ran Sheng was easy to identify, obviously taller than the others, and he was riding a white horse, and there were four or five others. People are also riding horses, far away, and there is a mist shrouded, people and horses are black and white, as if Chen Langjun painted ink paintings, look at it for a while, people and horses are blocked by the forest, shake his head and say: "I can't tell it, but I think in my heart: "The crown in front of the right should be Chen Langjun, and the Confucian shirt seems to be cyan."

Zhang Tongyun said with a smile: "It's too far away, and there is fog, it's really hard to tell why Yi Changkang brought so many people here, could it be Xie Langjun and those people who came?" Then he asked a servant woman, what other quiet places are here? The servant woman is the Gu family on this manor, and she is here to lead the way for the two ladies, and said respectfully: "More than 100 steps to the east behind this palace, there are three hundreds of years old plum trees, which are green Bomei, which are rare to see elsewhere" Zhang Tongyun "um" said, leaving a maid to wait for Gu Kaizhi and Chen Caozhi, she and 6 Weirui and all the maids bypassed the Jizi Hall and went east.

In less than two cuts, Gu Kaizhi, Chen Caozhi, Xie Daoyun, Xie Xuan, Liu Shangwei, Ran Sheng, Shen Chiqian and his party came to the outside of the Jizi Palace, Gu Kaizhi's eyebrows danced, talking loudly, he had forgotten to surprise Chen Caozhi, only talked about the beauty of the Jinling landscape, and suddenly realized when he saw the maid left by Zhang Tongyun, so he took the opportunity of everyone to enter the palace to pay homage to Ji Zi, and signaled Chen Caozhi to go with the little maid.

The maid pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Chen Langjun, please come with me." "Turn around and go. Chen Caozhi followed the little maid around to the back of the temple and walked east on the ancient pine path. Over there, 6 Wei Rui and Zhang Tongyun were wandering under the green beast plum, 6 Wei Rui looked at the thousands of green and other white plums, and couldn't help but sing softly: "There are plums, but in fact, there are seven Xi." Ask me to be a gentleman and make it auspicious. Kneaded with plums, in fact, three Xi. beg my gentleman" suddenly shut up and didn't sing, and his pretty face turned red with shame for a moment.

"The Book of Poetry Calls Nan Cao Youmei" is a love poem, simple and fresh, bright and affectionate, the poem is written about the unmarried girl to the mature plum than Xing, sighing that Shaoguang is fleeting, youth is difficult to stay, and the man who longs for his favorite hurriedly proposes to her, "Mao's Poetry Preface" says that this poem "Men and women are also timely" Men and women are married in time 6 Wei Rui's face is hot, she doesn't understand why she suddenly sang this ancient song, she really didn't think about it, at least not now, but the mouth is singing, it's really embarrassing! Zhang Tongyun smiled and hurriedly retreated, she heard the footsteps over there, so she whispered: "Wei Rui, your Jishi is here, I'll go back to the hall first." Without waiting for 6 Weirui to answer, he took a few maids and servants to go back, and saw Chen Caozhi swinging his big sleeves for a long time to avoid the side of the mountain road, Chen Caozhi came to the front, and took a deep look.

Zhang Tongyun returned to the Jizi Palace, only waited in the quiet room of the apse, and asked the little maid to help her rub her feet, Zhang Tongyun was not as good as 6 Wei Rui hiking, and walked this morning, quite hard, faintly heard the hearty Jinling accent of Gu Kaizhi, the husband of the front hall, and remembered the "Kneading Youmei" sung by Wei Rui, and couldn't help but sigh faintly, Wei Rui is one year older than her, she is twenty years old this year, and she is still waiting for Chen Langjun, which is really pitiful. Gu Kaizhi and others in the front hall remembered the sage Ji Zi, and went out of the hall to enjoy the mountain scenery, Xie Daoyun didn't see Chen Caozhi, he felt slightly strange, and asked Ran Sheng: "Zisheng, where is your brother?" Ran Sheng said in his heart: "Of course, Brother is going to see the 6 little ladies, so it's good for this Xie girl to see the intimacy between Brother and the 6 little ladies, so that you can die." Then he pointed to the back of the hall and said, "My brother went over there, there must be a good scenery, do you want to go and see it?" ”

Xie Daoyun turned his head and glanced at Xie Xuan. Xie Xuanzheng and Gu Kaizhi discussed the beauty of Jinling landscape and Huiji landscape, Xie Daoyun did not call Xie Xuan to go with her, she wanted to be friends with Chen Caozhi, so she had to be friends with Chen Caozhi's friends, which is really difficult for Xie Daoyun for this woman, men and men are friends, and they can tolerate each other's shortcomings, but women and men are friends, but women and men are friends, Xie Daoyun admires Chen Caozhi, gets along for a long time, and feels that Chen Caozhi's character is beautiful, self-cultivation is pure, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an immortal, she can walk with Chen Caozhi for thousands of miles, But it is difficult to laugh with Gu Kaizhi and Liu Shangzhi, she is a woman after all.

The trail behind the hall is obliquely downward towards the east, Xie Dao Yunxin walked, at this time in the eastern sky, a round of red sun erupted, the sun shone, the faint fog quickly dissipated, and the black birds chirped in the forest, making noise. Xie Daoyun walked in the rising spring sun, a little happy in his heart, feeling happy in the mountains and forests of heaven and earth, well, she is free, she is not like ordinary women at home from her father, married and husband, she can be a leader, she can display her talents, she can do what she is willing to do, such as now, walking on the Songzhu Mountain Road, the steps are brisk, the heart is unhindered, it seems to be normal, in fact, how many deep boudoir women can experience it? How many ladies and gentlemen have taught husbands and children in ancient times, then let me thank Daoyun for being a maverick once, what if I don't marry for life! Xie Daoyun saw Chen Caozhi's back under the white plum tree, so he raised his voice and said, "Zizhong, it's better to find a secluded visit here?" Before Chen Caozhi turned around, a maid suddenly turned out under the old plum tree, and looked at Xie Daoyun who came over in surprise, because Xie Daoyun didn't speak in Luoyang dialect just now, and it was clearly a woman's voice.

Xie Daoyun stopped immediately, she recognized this maid, this maid has an unforgettable name short hoe, Xie Daoyun's face suddenly burst into flames, as if it was the time in Waguan Temple to force the monks to open the door of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, but what they saw was the scene of Chen Caozhi and 6 Wei Rui's private meeting in the hall, after that time, Xie Daoyun will never meet Chen Caozhi in women's clothes again Xie Daoyun quickly calmed down, thinking about countermeasures, she saw Chen Caozhi turn around, and the plum tree was standing by the 6 Wei Rui?

6 Wei Rui's expression has the shyness of being bumped into, and the black and white eyes are more surprised! Chen Caozhi was a little embarrassed, and arched his hand: "Brother Yingtai also came to appreciate Mei Qing" Xie Daoyun said with a smile: "Bamboo is like a gentleman, Mei is like a beauty, and the meeting of bamboo and plum here is to be presumptuous and disturbed." He waved towards Chen Cao, and then to 6 Weirui, and calmly turned around and left. The short hoe looked at Xie Daoyun's thin back and muttered, "This Zhu Langjun is so strange, why did he speak so much like a woman before?" Chen Caozhi looked at 6 Wei Rui, 6 Wei Rui's clear eyes met him, Chen Caozhi asked with a smile: "Do Wei Rui also feel strange?" ”

6 Wei Rui four years ago in the Lion Rock outside the peach forest Xiaozhu saw this Zhu Yingtai, and then with Chen Cao when he traveled to Tiger Hill and met again, always feel that this Zhu Yingtai to give her a very strange feeling, 6 Concubine Rui is an excellent person, the servant has never been reprimanded, but the servant will never be presumptuous because of her kindness, are sincerely respect the little lady, but 6 Wei Rui has a bad impression of this Zhu Yingtai for several years, 6 Wei Rui saw Zhu Yingtai in the Waguan Temple again, Zhu Yingtai and Chen Caozhi in front of the Queen Mother and King Huiji, At that time, 6 Wei Rui only paid attention to Chen Caozhi, looking at Chen Langjun's demeanor when he was arguing, he really had indescribable joy in his heart, but in hindsight, he had the strange feeling of Zhu Langjun who was arguing with Chen Langjun, and later knew that Zhu Yingtai and Chen Caozhi were the main and deputy envoys to go to the meeting to review the soil break, I didn't see it with my own eyes, I didn't feel it, but I saw it at this time, and that strange feeling came again!
