On the bank of the Guxiao River in the twilight, the clear stream is full of stones, the grass and trees are verdant, and there is the breath of impending rainstorm in the wind.

Chen Caozhi stood on the edge of the lying cow stone, his upper body **, his lower body was wrapped in a white cloth, his shoulders were wide and his waist was narrow, his body was long and fit, and the dissolved black cloak was scattered on his shoulders, his hands were crossed on his waist, and he was not moving, like a quiet and beautiful sculpture -

There was a soft sound, and it was Chen Caozhi's wet long droplets of water dripping on the grass under his feet.

The slender woman's eyes were as bright as stars, looking at Chen Caozhi's tips dripping water, a few drops of water dripping on the white and strong chest, sliding down quickly, drawing a few faint lines of water between the chest and abdomen-

Chen Caozhi said slowly: "Have you seen enough?" Give me back your clothes. ”

The beautiful woman was embarrassed, but she was a little annoyed, she originally wanted to see Chen Caozhi's embarrassing appearance, but she didn't expect that this person could be naked and calm, but she was slightly embarrassed, it seems that this person's face is not ordinarily thick, and thought: "Chen Caozhi is right, he can go back naked like this, it is the uninhibited behavior of celebrities, and his reputation will not be damaged at all." ”

"As I said, you promised to teach me the recorder, and I will return your clothes." The beautiful woman said stubbornly.

Chen Caozhi said: "How can this be reasonable, is there such a person who wants to ask for a teacher!" ”

There were mosquitoes "buzzing" and flying, and the woman had a fan in her hand, waving it gently, wondering how Chen Caozhi's naked body was not bitten by gnats and blisters, and said: "I also begged for good words, but you refused." ”

Chen Caozhi remembered that Huan Wen asked him to teach his concubine the recorder a few days ago, he really didn't expect that this Li Jingshu not only couldn't be provoked, but also couldn't hide, this woman is not young, Huan Wen killed the Han Dynasty for three years, fifteen years ago, even if Li Jingshu was only fourteen or five years old at that time, and now his age is about the same as his sister-in-law Ding Youwei, why is he so naïve and perverse!

"Take advantage of someone to take their clothes and blackmail them, what kind of thing is this, how could I encounter such a thing!"

Chen Caozhi felt that it was too ridiculous, turned his head and looked around, in the midsummer dusk, there were only two people on the side of the stream, he and Li Jingshu, but he was so naked, very embarrassing, very ambiguous, very dangerous, he was not Zhou Boren, Huan Wen was not Ji Zhan, melon field and Li Xia, it was difficult to argue!

Chen Caozhi turned around and walked towards the mount "Zidian" to untie the reins, this is a place of right and wrong, the sooner you leave, the better, it doesn't matter if you go back to the city.

Seeing that Chen Caozhi was arrogantly about to leave, the plain-clothed woman felt greatly humiliated, staring at Chen Caozhi's ** back, but her voice became more and more gentle, and said slowly: "Then I'll take those clothes back to the General's Mansion-

This woman is extremely beautiful, but like a big poisonous snake, entangled, Chen Caozhi suppressed his anger, and turned around and said: "Do you think that Huan Jungong is such a stupid person?" Huan Jungong should be very clear about your temperament. ”

The beautiful woman was extremely angry in her heart, but she smiled on her face: "Well, I am a person who has lost the country, I really can't embarrass you, General Huan may not believe my words, but I say too much, I don't believe it, I don't believe it, the things between men and women are inexplicable, you Chen Caozhi wants to marry a girl from the 6th clan and get General Huan to reuse, but there is no mistake." ”

Chen Cao's heart was full of coldness, this statement was very old and spicy, thinking about the sword and staff she faced with the maids of Princess Nankang back then, she was not moved, and slowly said: "The country is ruined, and I have no intention of this, if I can see the killing today, it is my heart." "This woman is not naïve, but why did she entangle me, didn't she just refuse to teach her the recorder, why is she so hysterical, I somehow made such an enemy, isn't it nothing to look for!

Ran Sheng strode back and said, "Xiao Langjun, I didn't see a shepherd boy, there are a few people from the General's Mansion not far ahead, they won't steal us-" Seeing the indifferent and cold Li Jingshu, Ran Sheng's eyes widened and he stopped.

Chen Caozhi said: "Xiao Sheng, you go to wait outside the willow forest for a while, and I will go back to the city after talking to this lady." ”

Ran Sheng said "oh", walked a few steps to the willow forest and looked back at the woman, wondering where this woman came from, could it be the water demon tree spirit? But it's really beautiful, it seems to be more beautiful than the 6 little lady, of course, if it's compared with Run'er, it's much worse.

Chen Caozhi saw that Ran Sheng had entered the fanglin forest, and said: "Mrs. Li, teaching the recorder is an elegant matter, and whether you are willing to teach it is a matter of mood, why is it necessary for you to make it so powerful, and I have no grudge against you." ”

A hint of pride flashed in Li Jingshu's eyes, and she said in her heart: "Chen Caozhi, I don't believe that you don't have a little fear." said: "There was no hatred in the past, but now there is resentment." ”

Chen Caozhi shook his head and asked, "You forced me to teach you the recorder, is it so interesting?" ”

Li Jingshu said: "I think it's interesting, do you teach or not?" ”

Chen Caozhi said lightly: "Okay, please inform the Duke of Huan County, prepare for the ceremony, and formally apprentice, I will come to the General's Mansion to teach you flute music when I have time." ”

Li Jingshu said: "That's right, you are a man who is interested in the Quartet, why bother to meet me as a woman who has died in the country, it is a very simple thing, teaching the recorder, why refuse to be so embarrassed." He taught Chen Caozhi a lesson.

Chen Caozhi didn't want to talk to her too much, and said, "Fetch my clothes." ”

Li Jingshu turned around and called: "Tsing Yi." Then a maid came out of the forest with a burden, put the burden on the Lying Cow Stone, and retreated, but Li Jingshu did not leave.

Chen Caozhi asked: "Do you want to see me change clothes?" ”

Li Jingshu asked rhetorically: "Is there anything special?" ”

Chen Caozhi's eyes showed contempt, and he tore off the white cloth scarf around his waist, revealing the shape of his parents and his innocent body-

At the moment when Chen Caozhi tore off the cloth towel, Li Jingshu turned around, her face was slightly red, her nose was wrinkled, and she walked faster and faster, and disappeared into the forest in a blink of an eye.

Chen Caozhi put on breeches, put on a thin Ge big-sleeved shirt, and asked Ran Sheng to change his clothes, Ran Shengqi said: "Why did you find this dress again, it was hidden by the woman in white?" ”

Chen Caozhi's ink eyebrows frowned, and said, "It's really not peaceful to take a bath!" ”

Back in Guyi City, it was already dark, Chen Caozhi went straight to see Xie Xuan, and said about the matter, Xie Xuan was surprised and laughed, and said: "This is really a villain woman, if you are far away, you will be resentful, and the trouble is not small." ”

Chen Caozhi asked: "Ah Ji thinks I should flatly refuse?" ”

Xie Xuan said: "It's a very troublesome thing, it's not appropriate to refuse categorically, then Li Jingshu often says that her country is ruined, she is living in the world, and her behavior is unpredictable, if she often slanders you in front of Huan Wen, even if Huan Wen doesn't believe it, she will have a bad impression of you - apprentice to the teacher, don't leave, deal with it indifferently, and go to work elsewhere in a year or two." ”

Chen Caozhi shook his head and said, "It's really inexplicable, I can't afford to provoke and hide." ”

Xie Xuan said: "Don't worry too much, it's just a little concubine, what can I do with you!" The key lies in you, the sages of yesteryear—"

Chen Caozhi hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, don't encourage me, say goodbye." ”

Xie Xuan laughed.

On the night of May 12, if the weather is clear, now half of the moon has come out, but tonight the clouds are low, there is no moonlight and starlight, there is no wind, and there is no sound of the maple leaves of Phoenix Mountain, and there will be heavy rain tonight.

Chen Caozhi slowly walked back to his residence, Ran Sheng led two horses to follow, and before he reached the door of the apartment, Ran Sheng suddenly shouted: "Uncle Jing - Uncle Jing is here!" He dragged two horses and galloped over.

The one-armed old man in front of the gate who was looking this way also shouted happily: "Xiao Sheng-" shook off his one-armed stride and ushered in.

Ran Sheng threw away the reins in his hand, pulled Jing Nu's right arm tightly, elated, and said continuously: "Uncle Jing just arrived?" Xiao Langjun and I went out of the city to swim, Uncle Jing, I dare to swim—"

Ran Sheng has been dependent on the old servant Jing Nu since he can remember, although the name is the master and servant, like his grandson, Ran Sheng did not expect Jing Nu to come, and he was overjoyed.

Jing Nu pinched Ran Sheng's arm, as strong as iron, the little lord became stronger, Jing Nu was so happy that his old eyes overflowed with tears, and when he saw Chen Caozhi coming over, he shouted: "Xiao Langjun-" let go of Ran Sheng's arm and wanted to salute Chen Caozhi.

Chen Caozhi hurriedly held on and said, "Uncle Jing has worked hard—"

A person rushed out of the apartment and said happily: "Xiao Langjun, I'm here too." "The person who came has a short forehead and thick lips and a simple appearance, which is exactly what he came to Germany.

Laide is Chen Caozhi's playmate since childhood, Laide married Qingzhi last year and failed to come to Jiankang with Chen Caozhi this year, Chen Caozhi often misses Laide, at this time, he is very happy.

Lai Zhen and Ah Zhu also came to see Xiao Langjun, and four sturdy men with short knives on their waists also saluted Chen Caozhi, and when they asked, they learned that these four people were the private soldiers of the Qian Tang Chen clan, and Chen Jiawu now has forty private soldiers, all of whom were trained by Jing Nu.

Chen Caozhi entered the hall and sat down, and asked Zhilaide, Jingnu, Ah Zhu and four Chen's private soldiers to leave from Qiantang on the 11th of last month, rushed to Jiankang on the seventh day of this month, and set off to come to Guyu on the eighth day of the first month, bringing five catties of gold and 500,000 yuan, as well as a letter from the patriarch Chen Xian and Ding Youwei to Chen Langjun, and Zongzhi and Run'er also wrote a letter to Uncle Chou.

Chen Caozhi first read the letter of the fourth uncle Chen Xian, in which Chen Xian said about the imperial court's gift of the Ming Holy Lake and the twenty shade households, and also talked about the situation of various industrial exhibitions in Chenjiawu, and the old patriarch was overjoyed in the pen——

Sister-in-law Ding Youwei's letter is very long, full of words, in great detail, writing about Chen Jiawu's affairs one by one, caring about Chen Caozhi and 6 Weirui's affairs, Chen Caozhi looked at the letter, his heart was warm, as if his sister-in-law Ding Youwei knelt in front of him and spoke, his eyes were cordial, and his words were gentle-

Zong Zhi's letter is mainly to report to Uncle Chou about his reading in the past few months, he has been in Dai Liji", Zong Zhi feels that there is no need to go to Xu's thatched cottage to study, the reading notes left by Uncle Chou are very detailed, and he can find the answer in Uncle Chou's reading notes whenever he has any questions-

Chen Cao thought in his heart: "Going out to study is also making friends, and next year I should be able to let Zong Zhi go to Wu County to study, Zong Zhi is too silent and restrained." ”

Run'er's letter is the most interesting, her brother has already written, she doesn't repeat, anyway, she has read all the books that her brother reads, she only writes about her mother teaching her Konghou and painting, writing about climbing Jiuyao Mountain, writing about boating on Mingsheng Lake, and there is also a "Tanuki Picture" painted by Run'er, although the pen is immature, but it is very interesting, and the future first lady of Wu County has shown extraordinary talent.
