Volume 4 Insight 60. Haze
I heard that someone dared to marry Wei Rui, Shuangmei Xuan, and I was unhappy to find a child of the inferior scholar clan, if this is the case, why should I reject Chen Caozhi! β
Lu Yu looked solemn and said: "Daddy, how can the child be so confused, what the child said" paused and continued: "This person is the current emperor!" β
"Emperor Sima Yi!" Lu Shi was taken aback, frowned, stared at his son Lu Yu, and said slowly: "The emperor is interested in my Lu girl?" β
Lu Yu said: "Queen Geng is newly mourned, and the emperor naturally hasn't taken care of other things, but Daddy, you think, Concubine Tian and Concubine Meng around the emperor now are not from a big family. is not qualified to be canonized as the queen, my Lu family is a wealthy family in Jiangzuo, if Wei Rui enters the palace, this queen is none other than Wei Rui. β
Lu Shi muttered: "When Ruzu Shi Yao Gong was alive, he rarely interacted with the Nandu Shi clan. In the past, Wang Dao wanted to propose to his nephew to Aunt Ruqi, but Ruzu politely refused. The same is true for the Sima royal family, which is not to leave, and to be detached. If Wei Rui is allowed to enter the palace today, wouldn't it be against the will of the ancestors? β
Lu Yu said: "At this time, at that time, Huan Wen suppressed my Jiangzuo clan everywhere, even Chen Caozhi and a person from a small family dared to take advantage of the situation to bully us, He Zhu was degraded, and his uncle He Sui was still in Tingwei Prison." The elder brother was also humiliated by a fine of $100,000. And Wujun Gu's, Zhang's, and Huijiyu's. Afraid of Huan Wen's power flames, I have yielded to Huan Wen, only my Lu clan disdains to bow to Huan Wen, but once Huan Wen usurps the throne, my Lu clan is afraid that it will be in danger of becoming a second-class scholar. Didn't Daddy think about that? β
Lu Shi frowned, pondered for a long time, and said, "Since the Jin Dynasty was established as the capital of Jiankang. The queen came out of Langya Wang's family, Taiyuan Wu's family, Chenjun Xie's family, Yangzhai Chu's family, and Yingchuan Geng's family. There has never been a girl from the Sanwu Shi clan, how did the birds know that the emperor was interested in Wei Rui? β
Lu Yu said: "Huan Wen will ask the king of Zhangcheng to ask the court lieutenant for his guilt, so that the Sima royal family will be disgraced. Although the emperor is silent, he is really resentful, and the child follows the emperor around, and he is quite aware of the emperor's intentions, and the emperor wants to cheer up the imperial power. I, the Lu clan, am the leader of the Jiangdong clan. The emperor has the support of my Lu family, a powerful relative, and the Qing family, who is in charge of the army, echoes. It will not be suppressed by Huan Wen everywhere, and the child dares to guarantee it, if the child raises this matter to the emperor, the emperor will be overjoyed. β
Lu Yu is really quite sure of this, Emperor Sima Yi is a person who is unwilling to be a puppet but shallow and incompetent, and he usually favors Xianglong, Ji Hao, and Zhu Lingbao, and the three of them were once broken by Chen Caozhi. I've been hating for a long time. Naturally, he was very willing to enter the palace to fight Chen Caozhi
Lu Shidao: "This matter is not in a hurry, Queen Geng is newly mourned." If the emperor wants to take a concubine, it must be at least a hundred days later. β
Lu Yu hurriedly said: "The timing is perfect in a hundred days, isn't Chen Caozhi going to envoy to Qin, and it will take about half a year to go back and forth." If Chen Caozhi is not here, Wei Rui's entry into the palace will be much smoother. β
Lu Shidao: "Wei Rui's temper is as stubborn as your third uncle, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to change her mind." β
Lu Yu said: "This can be slowly enlightened, the main thing is that Chen Caozhi wants to go far away to Qin." It's easy for him to do it when he's not in Jiankang. β
Lu Shi said: "Don't show your mouth in advance, after all, it is an uncertain thing, if it spreads, and in the end it will not work, it will become a laughing stock." β
Lu Fowl said: "The child understands. After Queen Geng's funeral, I will discuss it with Xianglong, Zhu Lingbao and others. Then make this clear to the emperor. β
Lu Shi nodded, but said again: "Fowl, you should hang your identity, Xianglong, Zhu Lingbao, although the courtiers have the emperor's favor." But because of the reputation of the times, the children of my family should not have too close contacts with such people, and you are an official and serve the imperial history. There is the responsibility of raising illegal documents and supervising the documents of the Quartet, so it is advisable to be solemn and self-assured, accumulate prestige, and then try to improve. β
February 24. The brothers Chen Shang and Chen Caozhi and Gu Kaizhi came to Lu Na Mansion. This day is a day of rest, and Lu Na does not need to go to the Zuo Minshang Department to sit in the hall, and invite Chen Shang, Chen Caozhi, and Gu Kaizhi to drink tea in the hall. Zhang Tongyun took the two little maids into the inner courtyard to see Zhang Wenjun and Lu Weirui.
Although Gu Kaizhi is not worldly and naΓ―ve on the surface, he is an extremely smart person. Knowing that Lu Na would definitely have a secret conversation with Chen Caozhi, he sat down for a while, and then went to the study with Chen Shang and Lu Na's nephew Lu Daoyu to enjoy the calligraphy and paintings.
Lu Na looked at Chen Caozhi and asked, "When will Cao Zhi send an envoy to Qin?" β
Chen Caozhi said: "Return to the land envoy, about the middle of next month." β
Lu Na nodded and said, "Let's do it."
Speaking of the letter that Chen Caozhi asked Wei Rui to bring him at the beginning of the month. Lu Na frowned and said: "I will take care of the intentions of the, I will find an opportunity to advise my brother, last year, my brother was really wrong." β
Chen Caozhi was the only one and didn't say anything more about this matter.
A servant girl came in and saluted Lu Nashi and said, "Madame is in the inner hall and wants to see Chen Langjun." β
Lu Na immediately accompanied Chen Caozhi into the inner hall, and Mrs. Lu's wife Zhang Wenjun had a great appetite after conceiving Li, and her originally slender figure was almost twice as fat. The belly is too heavy to sit on its knees. Sit on a couch with your legs down. Lu Weirui and Zhang Tongyun stood on the left and the right. 7 mouths per month.
When Chen Caozhi greeted Mrs. Lu, Lu Weirui's wonderful eyes were fixed on Chen Caozhi's face for a moment, with a thousand words and affection.
Mrs. Lu Zhang Wenjun smiled and said, ", let's cut the pulse for Aunt Zhang." β
Zhang Wenjun is six years old Chinese New Year's Eve today, and he has always been sad that he has no heirs, but now his belly is as big as a drum and his heart is determined. is more graceful and luxurious, and is very kind to Chen Caozhi, completely regarded as a son-in-law.
Chen Caozhi stepped forward according to his words, and first glanced at Lu Weirui, who was quietly standing on the right side, his eyes were facing each other, his eyebrows were affectionate, Lu Weirui's cheeks were like rouge, and she was delicate and beautiful
Chen Caozhi retracted his gaze. The three fingers of her right hand rested on Mrs. Lu's left wrist and mouth, resting for a while, and cutting the pulse first. The pulse was as smooth as a bead, and then he cut the ruler pulse, and felt a sharp turn like a rope turning a bead, nodded his head, returned to his seat, and said to Lu Na: "The envoy can order someone to find two experienced stable women to wait in the house." I didn't expect that Aunt Zhang would become a mother in ten days. β
Lu Na nodded, looking at his wife Zhang Wenjun, Lu Na has always been serious and cautious, and at this time he was also smiling. Apparently very happy. In the past two years, Lu Na has been in love with his daughter Wei Rui and Chen Cao. I sigh all the time, and I like that my wife Zhang Wenjun is pregnant, and she is almost enough to solve her worries.
Mrs. Lu asked Chen Caozhi about the envoy to Qin, and Chen Caozhi tried to downplay it as much as possible, so as not to worry Mrs. Lu.
After talking for a while, the steward will report. The family banquet has been prepared, Lu Na accompanied Chen Shang, Chen Caozhi, and Gu Kaizhi to lunch, and Mrs. Lu Zhang Wenjun in the inner courtyard sent her maid to invite Gu Kaizhi and Chen Caozhi to accompany her to the garden to relax.
Chen Shang stayed to talk to Lu Na, Chen Caozhi and Gu Kaizhi came to the back garden with the twists and turns of the little maid, Mrs. Lu sat on the pavilion in the back garden accompanied by Lu Weirui and Zhang Tongyun.
Chen Caozhi is handsome and bright, Lu Weirui is pure and beautiful, Gu Kaizhi is frank and straightforward, Zhang Tongyun is delicate and graceful, and Mrs. Lu Zhang Wenjun looked at these two pairs of beautiful people, not only happy for his niece Zhang Tongyun to get this good son-in-law, but also sighed for Wei Rui and Cao Zhi so far can not get married, and said: "The four of you are all good at Danqing Hanmo, it is better to paint each other's portraits in pairs, which is also an elegant thing." β
Zhang Tongyun glanced at Lu Weirui and said with a smile: "Obey my aunt's orders." β
Gu Kaizhi said: "Wonderful." Let's see if I am smart with Ah Tong to paint together, or is Zizhong and Lu Xiaoniang smart? I don't know if Aunt Zhang has a reward? β
Mrs. Lu smiled: "Does Gu Hutou still want a reward?" Say, "What do you want?" β
Gu Kaizhi thought about it seriously, smiled and said: "If Ah Tong's paintings are slightly better than Zizhong and Lu Xiaoniang, then the child in Aunt Zhang's womb will worship me and Ah Tong as teachers to learn painting in the future, and vice versa." β
Lu Weirui and Zhang Tongyun looked at each other, Gu Hutou's infatuation flared up again, and this reward was fresh.
Mrs. Lu Zhang Wenjun was overjoyed and said, "Okay, just according to what Changkang said." When did the four of you paint? β
Lu Weirui looked at Chen Caozhi. said: "Chen Langjun will be sent to Qin in the near future, and he will paint it when Chen Langjun returns." β
Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "When I come back from Diqin, my painting skills are rusty, and I have time these days." Let's draw it, Lu Xiaolangjun or Lu Xiaoxiao Niangzi is about to be born. β
Gu Kaizhi laughed: "Okay, I will enter the West Mansion in the future, and I will not be as free as I am now, so I will hand over the picture scroll within seven days for Aunt Zhang to decide, how about it?" β
Zhang Tongyun said softly: "How can Wei Rui and Chen Langjun have time to paint together? When Zhang Tongyun said this, he looked at his aunt Zhang Wenjun.
Gu Kaizhi and Zhang Tongyun are husband and wife, and it is convenient to paint together, but Chen Caozhi and Lu Weirui are facing difficulties, how can they cooperate?
Mrs. Lu nodded, and said to Chen Caozhi: "If you have time, you will be here every afternoon."
Chen Caozhi was very happy, bowed down and said, "Thank you, Aunt Zhang."
Mrs. Lu said with a smile: "Okay, today the four of you will take a boat tour of Hengtang." If you want to paint a portrait of each other, you have to look at each other more. β
Out of the back garden of Lufu, it is a horizontal pond with a radius of several miles and rippling spring waves, two sculled boats are already waiting on the shore, and the servant woman who operates the boat is respectfully waiting.
Chen Caozhi and Lu Weirui are in the same boat, Gu Kaizhi and Zhang Tongyun are in the same boat, one to the south. As soon as it went north, the oars wanted to paddle away.
It is rare to have such a leisurely time, and the blue waves of Hengtang reflect the blue sky and white clouds. The fragrance of apricot blossoms on the south shore is blowing, and the cannas on the island in the middle of the lake are bright and gorgeous
On the boat, Chen Caozhi and Lu Weirui held hands on their knees, whispered softly, enjoying this sweetness and warmth, even if there is a haze, how can they block a lover!
Call me three fat, I broke my promise again, alas, I am the cup on the coffee table.
