Volume 6 Song Ya XV. Flowers as a Medium

On the tenth day of the first month of the second year of Emperor Sima Nan Xian'an, the convoy of Qian Tang Chen's lecture on Beijing set off from Fan Jue Beiye, two carriages, eighteen ox carts, together with nearly 100 servants and private soldiers, filled the road jam, mighty and mighty, the people along the way heard that this was the convoy of Qian Tang Chen's entry into Beijing to set his relatives, and they were all on the road to watch, amazed and amazed, Chen Caozhi's double marriage to the two major gate girls in the north and south has already been spread to everyone, no one knows, so that the magical marriage that has not been seen for thousands of years has been talked about by the people

On the fifteenth day of the first month, the Chen clan rushed to Huating, this time Lu Shi appeared, Lu Weirui married Chen Caozhi is a foregone conclusion, Lu Shi can't always hide from it, it is not unified

When Chen Xian, the patriarch of the Chen clan, was the lord of Qiantang County twenty years ago, he had met Lu Shi, who was the Taishou of Wu County at the time. Chen Xian can compete with Lu Shi.

Mrs. Lu Zhang Wenjun knew that Chen Caozhi was about to go to Beijing to take up his post after his marriage, and he could not delay, so he had prepared his outfit two days earlier, and set off with Chen's team in the afternoon of the sixteenth day of the first month, and Chen Caozhi and Ran Sheng took a few Zhuoshi fast horses to go to Fan's Manor in Wu County early that morning. At dusk, cross the Jing River into Zhuzhongli, meet Fan Wang, the son of Fan Wang, and Liu Gaozhi, who came from Pengcheng the day before yesterday, have already been waiting in Zhuangguo, Fan Ning and Chen Caozhi are old friends, and they are happy to see each other, and immediately agreed to be Chen Caozhi's staff

Liu Gaozhi is seventeen years old in the new year, with a tiger's back and waist. admired Ran Sheng, who was one year older than him, and Ran Sheng was now a captain of the Qipin Cavalry Academy, and he was still a commoner, so he was very envious of Ran Sheng, and asked Chen Caozhi: "Chen Sima, can you take any position in the Beifu Army?" ”

Xie Daocou in the silk book to Chen Caozhi focused on mentioning Pengcheng Liu, Pengcheng Liu is a big family, the world is famous for its bravery, Liu Gaozhi's great-grandfather Liu Yi is good at riding and shooting Emperor Wu of Jin, Ren Yanmen is too guarded, Liu Jian's father Liu Jian is the general of the conquest, because Fan Wang was demoted Liu Jian was also used, and now Liu Jian is old and sick. It is unbearable, his son Liu Gaozhi has grown up to be a person, for Chen Caozhi, it is better to use Liu Gaozhi than to use Liu Jian. Liu Jian, as a good general who has been famous for a long time, may not be easy to get his loyalty, and Liu Jian is young and can be trained. Recruiting Liu Gaozhi into the army can quickly gather thousands of brave Pengcheng refugees

Chen Caozhi said: "I will recommend you to the imperial court to join the army for the eighth grade, and then be rewarded according to military merits."

Liu Gaozhi said happily: "Very good, Jiaozhi will go with Chen Sima." ”

Fan Wang said: "He Qian of the East China Sea and Sun Wuzhong of the Jin Tomb sent a letter to send a letter saying that they would arrive here on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. I don't know why it hasn't arrived yet? ”

At this time, Zhuang Ke came to report that Sun Wuzhong had arrived.

Sun Wuzhong Jinle is nineteen years old, short and sturdy. Brave and powerful, his brother Sun Wushi was Fan Wang's general earlier, killed in the Northern Expedition in the fourth year of Shengping, Fan Wang was Sun Wuzhong introduced Chen Caozhi, Chen Caozhi's good words were accepted, Sun Wuzhi was very happy, at that time the warriors were very respectful to the scholars, the status of the warriors was not as good as the scholars, Xie Wan called the soldiers under the account as strong soldiers, causing the generals to be angry, Chen Caozhi is a famous man in Jiangzuo, Qing Tan Xuan is invincible, and has the courage to envoy Chang'an, not just empty talk and do not know how to do things, won the appreciation of Huan Wen and Xie An, and will marry two big gate valve girls. The prestige is better than Xie Xuan and Wang Xianzhi, so Chen Caozhi's courtesy to Liu Gaozhi and Sun Wuzhong made the two of them feel very bright

Fan Wang invited everyone to a banquet, talked about the Northern Expedition during the banquet, and Chen Caozhi analyzed the situation for everyone. Listing the advantages and disadvantages of Fu Qin and Murong Xianbei one by one, and describing the prospects of the Northern Expedition with strict inference, Fan Ning, Ran Sheng, Liu Gaozhi, and Sun Wuzhong are all members of the blood and qi network, and they are enthusiastic to listen to. I am extremely impressed by Chen Caozhi's wisdom and foresight

That night, Chen Caozhi and Fan Ning had a night talk. Fan Ning suddenly remembered that last year Chen Caozhi and the pseudonym Zhu Yingtai Xie Daoyun came to visit the manor, Chen Caozhi stayed overnight in the village, Xie Daotao refused, at that time Fan Ning thought that Xie Daoluo was to see him Fan lost power and did not want to make friends, very annoyed, Chen Caozhi explained that Zhu joined the army has a habit of cleanliness, although he is on the journey, he also brings his own bedding, Fan Ning also believed, and now he finally understands what is going on, the more he thinks about it, the more he laughs, and he can't help laughing

Before noon the next day, He Qian of the East China Sea also rushed to Fan's Manor, He Qian was twenty-five years old, slender and lean. He was originally a general of Fan Wang, Fan Wang was demoted, Geng Xi succeeded him, Geng Xi appointed his cronies, He Qian was treated coldly by Qingxi, He Qian was young and vigorous and angry and returned to the field, there were hundreds of private soldiers in the village, often looting back and forth in Huaishang, and he got Fan Wang's book a year ago, asking him to help Chen Caozhi rebuild the Beifu soldiers. He Qian learned that Geng Xi had been dismissed from the post of assassin of Xu and Chong Erzhou and was reappointed as the general of the army, and immediately agreed to return to the army

He Qian had a conversation with Chen Caozhi, and admired Chen Caozhi's talent, and said: "The day before yesterday in Danyang, Qian met an old sergeant who returned to his hometown, who was my old man. Extremely angry, he wantonly stole the originally sealed military assets of Beifu, and there were countless ordnance and staffs, and I am afraid that there are other plans. ”

Huan Wen belittled Qingxi in the name of not collecting to save Xuchang, and Gengxi was convinced. And his sister Queen Geng has been through the Jianwen fork because of this Sima sneeze hungry version, degraded Queen Geng as his wife, Qingxi's resentment can be imagined, and it was Chen Caozhi who gave advice to Crazy Wen. Keeki does not exclude. Fearing a big disaster, the matter of Qingxi must be solved before the Northern Expedition

Chen Caozhi frowned and said: "I will immediately repair the book and report to the big Sima, and I will be ironic about the impeachment of this matter." ”

Fan Wang said: "General He might as well go to Jingkou to visit the theft of military funds, and only if he has empirical evidence can he correct Qingxi." ”

He Qian agreed, and asked Chen Caozhi when he would be able to go to Beijing?

Chen Caozhi said: "The big one can arrive in the middle of next month." ”

He Qian said: "Okay, I will wait for Sima Chen at Jingkou below." ”

In the afternoon, Ji Li rushed to Fan's Manor and said that the old patriarch Chen and Mrs. Lu had arrived in Wu County, and asked Chen Caozhi to go to Lu Mansion to meet

Fan Wang said with a smile: "Let's go, I will follow Fan Ning, Liu Gaozhi, and Sun Wuzhong into Beijing tomorrow after the Ru convoy." ”

Chen Caozhi and Fan Wang and others agreed to meet outside the west gate of Cunwu County tomorrow afternoon, so they left Fan's Manor, crossed the Jing River, entered the county seat, and came to Lufu. met with Mrs. Lu, Zhang Wenjun, and the fourth uncle. said that he would set off tomorrow with lunch and then set off, seeing that it was still early, he wanted to go to see Lu Weirui, and he saw him in a hurry yesterday, and he didn't say anything.

Mrs. Lu let the little maid lead Chen Caozhi to the garden to see the garden, the back garden of the Lu Mansion is huge, covering an area of more than 200 acres, rockery and water, pavilions and pavilions, the victory of the garden, a in the three Wu, the garden is a collection of famous flowers. Lu Weirui will leave Wu County tomorrow to enter the capital. At this time, it must be one who is wandering around in the garden to enjoy the flowers

Enter the garden from the gate of Taihu Lake stone. When I met the short hoe and the two maids of the flowers, I smiled and smiled to Chen Caozhi's blessings, and the short hoe said: The little lady is painting on the Jinfeng Pavilion, Chen Langjun will go to see each other, and the maid will not bother. ”

Chen Cao smiled, walked to the west of the garden Jinfeng Pavilion and went, when it was nearly dusk, the slanting sun was on, the sunset was like fire, the garden was under the root of the wall, there was still snow in the shade of flowers and trees, but the breath of spring was in the early blooming flowers, in the evening breeze, in the fragrance of flowers everywhere, the west side of the refreshing garden was planted with hundreds of precious plum blossoms with water color, at this time it was the time when this late blooming plum blossom, this plum blossom multi-layer double petals, a small bowl-shaped water-red plum blossom actually had thirty or forty small petals, overlapping and overlapping, broken petals were floating, and the flower color was extremely beautiful, The fragrance is better than the ordinary plum blossoms, a gust of wind comes, and the fragrance of flowers fills the garden.

Chen Caozhi took a deep breath and felt the breath of spring. At this time, he saw a very moving picture:

On the hexagonal eaves of the Golden Wind Pavilion, Lu Weirui, who was wearing a curved and fashionable deep coat, stood by the railing, facing the plum forest, leaning forward, her eyes squinted, and her petal-like lips pursed slightly, as if kissing the fragrance of flowers coming with the wind and the breath of spring. The shape is also like the water-red plum petals, the spring breeze blows her dress, the fashionable hem blows to the back obliquely, outlining the wonderful outline of the body, her expression is focused and lovely, charming as a fairy

Chen Caozhi stood a few feet away, looking at the girl on the pavilion. I felt like I loved her like this. Well. This is the loveliness of Wei Rui, seeing Wei Rui makes people feel the sweetness of life, even if there are all kinds of ups and downs, dumping, ugliness and sorrows, even if tomorrow will be a golden iron horse, bloody fighting, but can not damage our feelings and cherishing of the beauty of life, that is our courage and hope to survive in the chaotic world

Lu Weirui opened her eyes, feeling slightly shy, just smelling the fragrance of flowers and feeling a little forgetful, looking left and right, she saw Chen Caozhi looking at her with a smile, she couldn't help but smudge her cheeks, and said with a red face: "Chen Langjun is here"

Chen Caozhi walked up to the pavilion, looked Lu Weirui up and down, and saw that Lu Weirui's heart was like a deer jumping, her face was red and her ears were red, and she ate: "Chen Langjun, what are you looking at, I, is there anything wrong with me?" ”

Chen Caozhi took Lu Weirui's left hand, kissed her lightly on the back of her hand, and said, "I haven't held a paintbrush for a long time, but I want to paint your appearance as a dowry gift to you and propose to you." ”

Lu Weirui was ashamed and happy, thinking that her appearance might be a little frivolous in the eyes of others. But Chen Langjun is not a layman, as long as Chen Langjun likes it, he responded: "Okay." ”

Chen Caozhi looked at a small case in the pavilion, and there was a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the case. version is almost finished

Lu Weirui pointed to the precious jade version of Nanhua outside the pavilion and said, "Chen Lang, do you remember this jade small version?" ”

Six years ago, this precious jade version of the southern flower was rotten because of overwatering, and it was about to wither, Lu Weirui was helpless and wept at the flower, it was Chen Caozhi who managed to save the chrysanthemum jade version one

Chen Caozhi smiled and said, "Flowers are our matchmakers. How will I forget. ”

Lu Weirui smiled and said softly: "Flowers are the matchmaker." "Finger a stem of flowers and leaves gently twisted, flowers and leaves rotate and fall, if you want to know what is going on, please log in, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading
