Xie Daoyun, who was wearing a scarf shirt, walked out slowly, first saluted his uncle Xie Wan, then saluted Wang Xizhi, and finally came to Chen Caozhi's side, his slender eyes were on Chen Caozhi's face, smiling slightly. Zuo said: "Zizhong, Wu County is goodbye, suddenly three years, I heard that Zizhong is famous, he is a classmate, and Yingtai is also honored." ”

Chen Caozhi naturally also said a lot of words. expressed his satisfaction and admiration for the Yingtai Shi Tianque Mountain Yaji to become famous in one fell swoop, and Xie Wan couldn't see the slightest flaw in the two of them.

Wang Xizhi saw that this Zhu Yingtai was slender and weak, and it was indeed much thinner than Chen Caozhi, who was tall and handsome, it seemed that Xie Wan was not a lie when he said that this son was weak and sickly, so he said kindly: "Yingtai virtuous nephew, the old man was also frail and sickly in his early years, and later got the health prescription of Xu Mai, a hermit in the secluded mountain, which is taken all year round, and it is quite effective, but this prescription must be taken with Hanshi San, can the virtuous nephew give it a try?" ”

Chen Caozhi's brows furrowed slightly, but he saw Xie Daoyun bowing to Wang Xizhi and said, "Thank you Yi Shaogong, please give you a prescription." ”

Wang Xizhi took pen and ink to write the hermit Xu Mai's health prescription to Xie Daoyun, and mentioned the matter of the Huiji King recruiting talents, Xie Daoyun glanced at his uncle Xie Wan, Xie Wan glared at her, and Xie Daoyun said to Wang Xidao: "The younger generation has no idea of advancing for the time being." ”

Wang Xizhi said with a smile: "Marriage first." Seeing that Xie Wan's face was uncertain, presumably the Xie family of Chen Jun was unwilling to marry the Zhu family, so he didn't talk about it anymore. Only talk about poetry with Xie Daoyun and Chen Caozhi. didn't feel the twilight, so he said goodbye to Chen Cao.

Xie Wan sent Wang Xizhi and Chen Caozhi out of the house. When I returned to the hall, I wanted to reprimand Xie Daoyun a few words, this was all the trouble she caused in Tianque Mountain the day before yesterday, and she was a woman who now had classmates to come and go, what kind of system did this be.

Xie Daoyun was not in the hall, and the maid said that Yun Niangzi had returned to the inner courtyard, Xie Wan had no choice but to give up, thinking that if someone would visit Zhu Yingtai in the future, he would say that he had returned to Shangyu, and then strictly warned Xie Daoyun not to go out in men's clothes, and within half a year, the name of Zhu Yingtai would be forgotten.

After Chen Caozhi and Wang Xizhi parted, they were very worried, and they did not take the ox cart, but walked with Ran Sheng by the car. When I crossed the Suzaku Bridge, I heard someone calling from behind: "Zizhong stays." Looking back, Xie Daoyun, who was wearing a beautiful shirt, walked briskly in the sunset.

Xie Daoyun ordered the two servants to wait at the bridge, she and Chen Caozhi walked across the Vermilion Bird Bridge leisurely, and said to Ran Sheng: "Xiao Sheng Mo follow, I will say a few words alone with your Xiao Langjun." ”

Ran Sheng stood on the west side of the Vermilion Bird Bridge, watching Xiao Langjun and Zhu Langjun walk slowly on the riverside.

"Zizhong, you seem to have something to say to me."

"Well, yes, don't take that cold stone scatter."

Xie Daoyun smiled slightly, and said: "When I was in Wu County, Zizhong told me about the many harms of Hanshisan, how could I not remember, it's just that I don't appreciate the kindness of Yi Shaogong, how can I get well when I am weak and sick!" ”

Xie Daoyun is not pretending to be a man's voice when she speaks now, it is her original deep female voice.

Chen Caozhi looked at Xie Daoyun sideways, Xie Daoyun is also of medium height among men, of course, he is still nearly four inches shorter than him, but because of his slender body, he looks tall, and the powder on his cheeks is not evenly dressed, showing a delicate nature.

"Brother Yingtai is really going to go out of the mountain to be an official?"

"Exactly, does the son think it's right?"

Chen Caozhi pointed to Xie Daoyun's left cheek and said with a smile: "There is something wrong;

Xie Daoyun stretched out his hand and stroked his cheek gently, understanding what Chen Caozhi was referring to, he couldn't help blushing, and said, "Why bother with this subsection, today is because I was in too much of a hurry." ”

Chen Caozhi said: "I don't think there is any deviance for women to be officials, the talents of the British and Taiwanese brothers are better than men, and there is nothing that cannot be done." It's just for the British and Taiwanese brothers, and I always feel inappropriate, because the British and Taiwanese brothers are still women after all. ”

Xie Daoyun looked at the golden waves of the Qinhuai River under the slanting sun, and said: "As a woman, she is too restrained, and she is less than 100 years old, why not try it?" “

Chen Caozhi was silent for a long time and asked, "Will Uncle An Shigong and Wanshi Guild agree?" ”

Xie Daoyun said: "I wrote a long letter yesterday, which contains" Zhongxing Three Strategies ", send someone to Gu Xiao to present Huan Da Sima, if there is no accident, Huan Da Sima should send someone to Jiankang to replace me as a Peng official, as long as I insist on it, my uncle will not disobey Huan Da Sima's intentions, after all, Chen Jun Xie will also bend his will to make Huan Da Sima."

Chen Caozhi shook his head and smiled, this Xie Daoyun really dared to think and dare to do, the "Zhongxing Three Strategies" she proposed must be about the strategy of governing Jiangdong and the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, Huan Wen is a practical talent, and the name of Zhu Yingtai has spread, Huan Wen of Gu is well aware of the affairs in Beijing, and will definitely recruit Zhu Yingtai into Xifu, the year before last Xie An went out of the mountain, in order to reconcile with Huan Wen, he deigned to enter Xifu as the Eight Rank Military Division. Therefore, Huan Wen wants to refute Yingtai as a subordinate official, Chen Jun Xie's is really not easy to shirk, Xie Daoyun can be said to be a last resort-

Chen Caozhi said: "Wouldn't it be bad if someone found out that you were a woman!" ”

Xie Daoyun smiled: "I go to Xifu, except for official business, I don't socialize with others, how can others know that I am a woman?" Even if you have some suspicions, you can't verify it—"

As soon as the words came out, he felt that this was inappropriate, his face turned red, he turned his back to Chen Caozhi, and continued: "The only people who know my identity are Ah Ji and you, in Xifu, you and Ah Ji can help me cover up, this shouldn't be difficult." ”

Chen Caozhi was silent for a while and said, "I support you." ”

Xie Daoyun turned his head, stared into Chen Caozhi's eyes, and said, "I knew that you would support me, if there is anyone else in this world who knows me, it is you." ”

Chen Caozhi recited softly: "It is enough to have a confidant in life, and the world should treat it with the same heart." ”

Xie Daoyun also recited it, his eyes were shining, he suddenly smiled, and said: "Zizhong, I heard that you exchanged "Thirteen Chapters of Yili" for forty acres of land on the bank of the Qinhuai River, but is there such a thing?" ”

Chen Caozhi: "Chess games are priceless treasures, and I lost money." ”

Xie Daoyun laughed, his cheeks were deeply sunken, and he said, "Then if I get your chess game for nothing, won't you lose even more." ”

Chen Caozhi looked at Xie Daoyun's smile and said with a smile: "If you have a confidant, what is the loss." ”

Xie Daoyun stopped laughing and asked, "How is the Zizhong Buddha statue painted?" ”

Chen Caozhi: "Two out of ten paintings." ”

Xie Daoyun said: "I'll come back to appreciate it after the painting is finished." After a pause, she asked, "6 Little Lady still often goes to Waguan Temple to see you paint?" ”

Chen Caozhi nodded and said, "Yes." “

Xie Daoyun smiled and said, "It seems that a good thing will come to pass." ”

Chen Caozhi: "Difficult. ”

"Zizhong is really concise."

Xie Daoyun looked at the other side and said, "I'll go back first, and if the fourth uncle can't find me, he will be angry." ”

Chen Caozhi accompanied Xie Daoyun back to the Vermilion Bird Bridge, and Xie Daoyun said: "Zizhong, please come back, I will see you off at the bridge." When I said this, I couldn't help but think of the bright moon night in Wu County that year, the two of them walked from the shore of the mirror lake to the Zhenqing Taoist Temple, and then walked back to the shore of the small mirror lake from the Zhenqing Taoist Temple-

At this moment, Xie Daoyun felt that yesterday had reappeared, and he was extremely happy when he watched Chen Caozhi's ox cart go away.

Half a month after that, Chen Cao devoted himself to painting the Buddha murals of Waguan Temple, 6 Wei Rui and Zhang Tongyun must arrive every day to help Chen Caozhi and Gu Kaizhi paint, the two daughters have extraordinary painting skills, the painted Yingluo, treasures, auspicious clouds, sitting on the chariot, there will never be a risk of good and bad.

Zhu Fatai rest assured, come to the Daxiong Treasure Hall to see a few times, now these two pairs of people with a cooperative painting, it is really a perfect match, the progress of the mural has been greatly accelerated, and the painting is excellent, Zhu Fatai is greatly relieved. Mrs. 6 Zhang Wenjun also accompanied 6 Wei Rui several times at first, since the middle of March let 6 Wei Rui come alone, 6 Wei Rui is in the middle of the arms, every double day afternoon with three or five servants, go to Zhang's Mansion to make an appointment with Zhang Tongyun to come to Waguan Temple, paint for more than an hour, then rest, both to the apse to talk, Zhang Tongyun at first had to walk with 6 Wei Rui, and gradually took care of each other-

6 Wei Rui felt that he was so big, and he spent a month painting in Waguan Temple. Come happily, return sweetly, and dream of being with Chen Langjun at night-

On March 24, Chen Caozhi's sketches of the eight Tianlong murals have been completed, and Gu Kaizhi's Vimala Bodhisattva statue can be completed in another day, and now it is time to start coloring and rendering. Buddha statues pay attention to the color of exaggerated, intense, in order to have a shocking effect, Chen Caozhi feels that the commonly used vermilion, yellow, cyan three colors although the color performance is also quite rich after harmonizing with each other, but it is still a little monotonous, he knows that the colors of Chinese painting in later generations are more diverse, there are limestone, stone green, ochre, lead powder, chalk, rouge, etc., these ** and Gu Kaizhi have tried many times in the house, Gu Kaizhi is greatly admired by the color effect.

In the afternoon of this day, Chen Caozhi began to decorate the colors for the emperor, while waiting for the arrival of 6 Wei Rui, now the sketch of Sele has been completed, and the color rendering of 6 Wei Rui and Zhang Tongyun can only be seen on the wall, not that her painting skills are not as good as Chen and Gu, but the color rendering must be focused on the whole, and some people in the bureau will paint will affect the wall performance effect.

When Chen Caozhi was mixing colors and painting, he saw the short hoe coming in a hurry, the flowers were discolored, and he was out of breath, saying that the two little ladies Wei Rui and Tongyun were in the temple

encountered the entanglement of the prodigal son before, and injured her brother chestnut, please Chen Langjun and Gu Langjun hurry up to rescue each other-

Chen Cao listened and put down the paintbrush in his hand. Jumped down from the board ladder, opened the main entrance of the main hall, strode out, glanced at the wide sound field in front of the hall, did not see Ran Sheng, so he asked Lai Zhen to hurry up to find Ran Sheng, he and Gu Kaizhi went out of the temple gate first, because they were painting in the Buddhist temple, Gu Kaizhi only brought two servants, both of whom had martial arts. They all followed.

Ran Sheng rushed to the scene and asked urgently, "Xiao Langjun, what's wrong?" ”

Chen Caozhi looked outside the mountain gate and saw three or four ox carts parked there, and four or five people in front of him blocked the road, so he said: "Xiao Sheng, go and drive those few people who are blocking the way, and let the six little ladies and ladies come over." ”

Ran Sheng agreed, strode down, overtook the galloping horse, and the two servants of the Gu clan also rushed away.
