Volume 2 Affectionate 4. Sluggishness (Asking for Votes on a Cold Night)

Cao Zhi doesn't know much about the legend of Liang Zhu in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but he in the Yue opera "Liang Zhu", Zhu Yingtai kept using various metaphors to imply that he was a woman, but Liang Shanbo just didn't understand, Mu Ne's dullness really made people anxious for him

But the powdered Zhu Yingtai in front of him is very different from Zhu Yingtai in the opera, this Zhu Yingtai is not Zhu Yingtai, and he Chen Caozhi is not Liang Shanbo, because even if he knows that this Zhu Yingtai is a woman, he will not think about marrying, he only has Lu Weirui in his heart, in comparison, he and Lu S are very similar to Liang Zhu, Lu Weirui is a lady of the gate, he is a poor man, if it is impossible to be together according to secular common sense, it can only end in tragedy

Chen Caozhi said: "I am by no means Liang Shanbo, I must marry Zhu Yingtai, wrong, I must marry Lu Weirui, although it is difficult, but it is not hopeless." ”

Zhu Yingtai on the side asked strangely: "What is Brother Zizhong thinking, frowning and staring like this?" ”

Chen Caozhi said: "It's nothing, I'm still reminiscing about the sound of Brother Yingtai's piano, like the fragrance of flowers, there is still a lingering fragrance." ”

Zhu Yingtai smiled, the pear vortex reappeared, and said: "Where is it like you, the guests are gone, and then I thought of playing the flute to send it off." "Let's take a step forward.

Chen Caozhi said: "I wish Yingtai such a kind send-off, could it be that he has affection for me?" Or maybe it's just a sympathetic friendship? Chen Caozhi didn't want to think about it, it was useless to think about it, deal with it carefully, don't let Zhu Yingtai have a misunderstanding.

The two of them walked forward slowly, Zhu Yingtai talked very well, said some allusions, music, calligraphy and painting, which made Chen Caozhi more relieved, I was afraid that Zhu Yingtai and pointed to the male goose and the female goose to hint at something, but with Zhu Yingtai's talent, he would not use such a vulgar analogy.

Chen Caozhi thought that he was too careful, Zhu Yingtai and he was a friend of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, Zhu Yingtai spoke exquisitely, and the argument and analysis were meticulous, Chen Caozhi gradually forgot who Liang Shanbo was, and Zhu Yingtai or debated, or Qing talk, the conversation became more and more intense, unconsciously walked out of the six or seven miles of the road, until the sound of the ox cart rolling the road behind him did he wake up, looking back, it was not the ox cart that came to Germany, but it was Zhu's Jian servant who drove to come, and couldn't help but be stunned.

The servant of the Zhu family said: "Chen Langjun, Laide and Ran Sheng are still behind. ”

Zhu Yingtai said: "Brother Zizhong." The two of us continued to talk as we walked. Wait for the two ox carts to come over. ”

It seems that Zhu Yingtai has to send eighteen miles of land. Chen Caozhi didn't say much. is still talking with Zhu Yingtai while walking. It didn't take long. Another ox cart in Zhu's land and the ox cart driven by Laide and Ran Sheng caught up one after another.

Chen Caozhi also did not take the car. Keep walking. Walked much faster than before. After all, it's a rush. Not a walk. still quoting scriptures in his mouth and arguing with Zhu Yingtai.

Zhu Yingtai likes to debate more difficult than Go. The argument was difficult and gushing. also followed Chen Caozhi faster and faster. Weather in late April. The red sun is shining. It's quite hot. Zhu Yingtai has the strength of Chen Cao's feet. That's the place where I practiced around the lake every day. After walking briskly, he was out of breath after a while. The sweat on the forehead washed the powder on the face one by one. I'm afraid of sweating when I apply powder.

Zhu Yingtai noticed that he was sweating indecently. He stopped and said, "Brother Zizhong." I'll go to the car and rest first. And he got into the ox cart.

Chen Caozhi also got on the ox cart and sat down. Three ox carts drove in the hot sun. Dine at a roadside hotel at noon. Take a break. And back on the road. Zhu Yingtai didn't dare to talk to Chen Caozhi. Still sitting in the car. Occasionally, I said to Chen Caozhi about the changes in the hexagram in "Jiao's Yilin".

At dusk on this day, Chen Caozhi and Zhu Yingtai came to the town of Guang, the two Zhu Jian servants were very capable, could drive, and could socialize, and found a clean small inn, there were originally two guests in the inn, Zhu Jian paid them double the room price, asked them to let go, and chartered this small inn.

Shortly after dinner, Zhu Yingtai sent a maid to invite Chen Caozhi to go to Go.

Zhu Yingtai has been showered, and has not been powdered, his delicate face appears, his eyebrows are like willow leaves, the eyebrows are slightly raised, he looks both beautiful and charming, his eyes are slender and charming, the bridge of his nose is delicate and straight, and his lips are contoured.

It's just that tonight, Zhu Yingtai faced Chen Caozhi with a plain face!

Chen Caozhi only glanced at Zhu Yingtai when he entered the room, so he only focused on chess, opened the chess game, and held the chess in hand.

Zhu Yingtai said: "This summer moon powder is really annoying, and two small red blisters have grown on the left cheek"

Chen Caozhi didn't raise his head and said: "If you don't sweat well in summer, you will naturally have blisters." ”

Zhu Yingtai asked: "So Brother Zizhong, is it okay if I don't apply powder?" ”

Chen Caozhi said lightly: "It's better to apply powder, wash it at night, and Brother Yingtai will be more handsome when applying powder." ”

Zhu Yingtai didn't say much, the two of them played against each other, the chess went to the middle game, it rained outside, the chess game was in full swing at this time, the thunder and lightning outside the window, the wind and rain were combined, and the two on the chessboard were also short-handed, fierce and abnormal.

Zhu Yingtai said: "This chess game is too difficult, son."

It's a tight move, no mercy, Brother Zizhong let me > day before yesterday so that he will never have a chance to play against me from now on? ”

Chen Caozhi said: "How dare you give in, with the chess strength of the Yingtai brothers, how dare I relax half a point, both as classmates and in the same county, there will always be a day to meet in the future, how can there be no chance to play again." ”

Zhu Yingtai asked: "At Huating Ferry, Brother Zizhong repeatedly asked me not to send it far, why didn't I mention it later, do you really want me to send you back to Qian Tang all the time?" ”

Chen Caozhi smiled and said, "Naturally, you want to send me back to Qian Tang." ”

"Why are you so sure?" Zhu Yingtai is arrogant.

Chen Caozhi said: "Because you want to go back to Shangyu by the way." ”

"Ahh Zhu Yingtai exclaimed: "How do you know? ”

Chen Caozhi said: "How can you bring all the servants to the place to see them off?" And one of your servants said to Ran Sheng before, it was back to Shangyu, and Ran Sheng told me. ”

Zhu Yingtai's slender and charming eyes stared at Chen Caozhi and asked, "So Brother Zizhong thinks that I am not sincere, I am deceiving you, and I am not deliberately seeing you off at all?" ”

Chen Caozhi raised his eyes to look at Zhu Yingtai and said with a smile: "Why care, it is a great pleasure to be able to go back to his hometown with Brother Yingtai all the way." ”

Zhu Yingtai was sullen, played a few more chess, because of unrest, soon lost, and finally couldn't help but say when he packed up the chess pieces: "Half a month ago, Yingting returned to Huiji, no, it was back to Shangyu, I was going to go back with him, but thinking that Dr. Xu's "Jiao's Yilin" had not yet been taught, I decided to stay and continue to listen, and I knew that Brother Zizhong was going back to the place before the end of the month, and he happened to go all the way, and he didn't say it in advance, but I just thought it was more interesting The day before yesterday, after Brother Chong left the Nancheng Pavilion in Wu County, I resigned to Dr. Xu, On the way, I met Xu Miao and Liu Shangwei, saying that you are taking the road of Huating, so I rushed all the way to the Huating ferry and did not see your trace, and asked the ferry?

Chen Caozhi: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were going back to your hometown." After that, he arched his hand and said: "It's late at night, I'll go back to my room to rest, good night to Brother Yingtai." ”

After Chen Caozhi left, Zhu Yingzi sat on the side of the chess for a long time, her arrogant temperament made her very dissatisfied with her performance just now, and she didn't understand why she explained so much to Chen Caozhi, is it necessary? I thought: "Chen Caozhi went to Lu's Manor to see the Lu Weirui, and he didn't even mention half a sentence, why should I explain so much to him!" ”

After thinking about it, his heart was uneasy, and he ordered the little maid to take out a beautiful bronze mirror from the >, and looked at herself under the oil lamp, and said in her heart: "Do I look so much like a man?" Chen Caozhi didn't even feel the difference, this Chen Caozhi was very smart in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the others were really dull enough.

Looking at it, he suddenly took off the scarf on the bun, and spread the bun again, so that a green silk was scattered, and then looked in the mirror, like a good woman

Zhu Yingtai sighed lightly, undressed and went to bed, tossing and turning.

……

Early the next morning, the rain was still falling, Chen Caozhi Gu shopkeeper stayed, braved the rain on the road, and said to Zhu Yingtai: "The rain before the Dragon Boat Festival is endless, if you want to wait until the sunny day and then go on the road, the Dragon Boat Festival has to be passed on the road." ”

The rain was tight and slow, and it didn't stop all day long, and before the evening, Chen Caozhi and Zhu Yingtai and their entourage stayed early, so as not to let the cattle driving be too tired and the cattle fell ill.

On this day and night, Zhu Yingtai did not invite Chen Caozhi to talk or talk with his hands, Chen Caozhi took care of reading books and practicing calligraphy.

On April 26, the sky was sunny again, and on this day we drove 70 miles to Yanguan County, and if the weather was fine tomorrow, we could rush to Yuhang.

At night, Chen Caozhi was thinking and contemplating, writing "A Volume of Ice and Snow Text", Ran Sheng was also clumsily holding a Zihao pen on the side, and muttered in his mouth: "I didn't expect the pen to be so heavy, so heavy that I couldn't move." ”

Laide said: "Is it heavier than a hoe." ”

Ran Sheng said: "It's ten times heavier than a hoe, and my hands are sore when I pick up the pen and write for a while!" ”

Zhu Yingtai knocked on the door outside and said: "Brother Zizhong"

Chen Caozhi said: "Brother Yingtai, please come in." ”

Ran Sheng went to open the door, Zhu Ying came in alone, knelt down in front of several cases, looked at it, and asked, "What did Brother Zizhong write, can you let me have a look?" ”

Chen Caozhi handed a stack of paper to Zhu Yingtai and said: "I have nothing to do, reminiscing about the past of my father and ancestors and sages, as well as hearsay on weekdays, imitating the former Han Liu to write some small short chapters in the style of notes to "The World Sayings", and after it is written, it will be named "A Volume of Ice and Snow Text". ”

Zhu Yingtai read two of them and said happily: "Miaowen, let me copy a copy." After sitting for a while, he took the stack of manuscripts back to his room and copied them.

This year, the weather is really cold, it is cold rain tonight, the trail code word until the early morning, listening to the cold rain knocking on the window, I am very cold, and I ask the book friends to warm up with a monthly pass
