Ding Youwei is empathetic, because when Chen Caozhi came to Ding's mansion the year before last, she was despised by the Ding family's children, this time she avoided Chen Caozhi's contact with the Ding's children, she just wanted to stay quietly with Xiaolang and a pair of children for a few days.

The patriarch of the Ding clan, that is, Ding Youwei's uncle, of course, knew that Chen Caozhi's uncle and nephew had arrived, but as long as Ding Youwei didn't clamoring to go back to Chenjiawu, he would not embarrass Ding Youwei and the people who deliberately humiliated the Chen family, after all, as a wealthy family of scholars, they are arrogant and courteous.

Early in the morning, Chen Caozhi took Zong Zhi and Run'er to take a walk in the small garden, this small garden is less than half an acre large, a half-moon type small pond in the southeast corner, planted with several water lilies, there are two tall and dense hundred-year-old osmanthus trees by the pool, along the courtyard wall are dozens of half-human high golden silk begonias, water lilies and golden silk begonias are in the flowering period, golden yellow begonia flowers and white, red, yellow water lilies bloom brightly.

"Uncle Ugly, you can't climb the mountain today." Zongzhi said.

Run'er said: "But Uncle Ugly, you can blow the hole flute, by the way, my mother said that I want to see your Ke Ting flute." ”

Xiao Chan, who followed behind the three of them, said: "Xiao Langjun wait, I'll go get the flute." "After a while, I brought the green cloth bag.

Chen Caozhi sat on the stone pier by the water lily pond and played a cheerful song "Bijian Flowing Spring", after a song, he looked up and saw his sister-in-law Ding Youwei standing quietly by a cluster of golden silk begonias, the plain white dress was set off by golden flowers, which looked extraordinarily elegant and bright, and the faint smile in the morning light was quiet and warm, and his eyes were bright and bright, with a sense of surprise.

", when did you learn the recorder so well?" Ding Youwei lifted her skirt lightly and walked lightly.

Chen Caozhi: "I don't know why, I just like to play with the purple bamboo flute left by my sister-in-law, try to blow it, and it will be." ”

If it is rumored by others, Ding Youwei really doesn't believe that there are people who can play the recorder without a teacher, the recorder is much more difficult to learn than the horizontal flute, but now Xiaolang Chen Caozhi played a song skillfully in front of her, and the skill seems to be better than her, which can't help but she can't believe it, after all, she hasn't seen her for two years, she doesn't know how Chen Caozhi learned to play the recorder, only to explain that Xiaolang is a talented music wizard.

Ding Youwei took the jade-like Keting flute and took a closer look, only to see that there were two seal characters "Keting" engraved on the tail of the flute, and there was no inscription of Cai Yong, I don't know if this flute is really Keting Di? Ke Tingdi is an antiquity that is nearly 200 years old, how can it be so verdant as new? If it is really a Ke Ting flute, it is a treasure among musical instruments, who would easily give it to a teenager who met in Pingshui?

Thinking like this, Ding You's microfiber fingers pinched the hole of the flute, brought it to his lips, and tried to blow a few notes, and suddenly felt that the sound of this flute was extraordinary, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed-

Chen Caozhi watched his sister-in-law blow xiao, but his mood was a little strange, he had just blown this flute, and it was inevitable that there would be saliva, although he wiped it with a silk handkerchief before handing it to his sister-in-law, and now he saw that the mouthpiece of the flute touched his sister-in-law's pale red lips, and his heart couldn't help pounding, as if the sense of touch had extended to the mouthpiece of Ke Tingdi, and he could feel the warmth and softness of his sister-in-law's lips......

The current Chen Caozhi is not a simple fifteen-year-old boy after all, he was twenty-seven years old in his previous life, and Ding Youwei is one year younger than him-

Chen Caozhi hurriedly shook his head, putting aside these distracting thoughts, like a pure and beautiful young man.

Ding Youwei saw Chen Caozhi shaking his head, thinking that Xiaolang was making fun of her for not blowing well, and suddenly remembered something, his heart was sad, tears almost fell, and he said in a low voice: "After Qingzhi's death, I have never touched a musical instrument again, but I don't mean today——"

Chen Caozhi hurriedly comforted: "Sister-in-law, don't be too rigid about secular etiquette, my brother in the spirit of heaven also wants to see my sister-in-law and Zongzhi and Run'er be safe and happy, sister-in-law don't suffer for yourself, if you like this recorder, I will give it to my sister-in-law." ”

Ding Youwei turned her back to prevent the two children from seeing her crying, wiped away her tears before turning around and smiling: "you have really grown up, you know how to talk like this, and you are no longer the ignorant boy you were back then - this flute sister-in-law can't ask for it, and I don't know which coat gave it to you, maybe I will meet again in the future, you have to cherish it, this is an excellent recorder." ”

Ah Xiu came to report that Laifu father and son were waiting outside the hospital to greet the young master's mother.

Ding Youwei took Zong Zhi and Run'er, as well as Chen Cao, to the small hall of the front building, Laifu and Laide knelt down and kowtowed to Ding Youwei, Ding Youwei asked Chen Caozhi to help him up, Wen Yan inquired, and immediately rewarded a five-baht coin and a silk.

Laifu thanked the young master's mother for the reward, because this was the inner courtyard of the Ding family, he didn't dare to stay for a long time, and the villa steward was still waiting outside, so he led his son to Dede to bid farewell to the young master's mother and withdrew, and said to Chen Cao in the courtyard in front of the building: "Laifu is going to the county to recruit tenants, do you want to go and see it together?" ”

Chen Caozhi said: "I won't go today, I'll go tomorrow, you go to see a few more first, inquire, don't be in a hurry to settle down, if you accidentally hire a tenant to cause trouble, tomorrow I will visit my father's old friend Feng Mengxiong Feng's uncle's house, you go with me." ”

Laifu answered and went out with Laide.

After breakfast, Chen Caozhi asked his sister-in-law in the study about the relationship between "Tao" and "nothing" in Wang Bi's "Analects and Explanations"?

Ding Youwei was surprised and delighted, it was not easy to read the Confucian classic "Analects" at the age of fifteen, and aiding Confucianism into the Xuan was something that most Confucian students could not do in their lifetime. I am so busy every day that I don't have time to learn those subtle metaphysics, and the Gaomen clan, even if they are also low-grade officials, it is also the prince's noble and idle duties such as washing horses, giving up people, and joining the army in various mansions, basically not doing practical work, you can learn this and that, and the elegance is extremely elegant-

But then again, "poor Confucianism", this poverty not only refers to living in poverty, but represents the Hanmen Shu clan and lower-class scholars, they can only learn Confucianism, it is useless to learn Xuan, they can't find a noble position, and they can't squeeze into the circle of Gaomen scholars, of course, unless you are a metaphysical master like He Yan and Wang Bi, and you can impress those arrogant scholars with clever arguments, then it is another matter, but even if you have a talent like Wang Bi, there is no stage for you to show at all!

Ding Youwei didn't say this to Chen Caozhi, she thought that Chen Caozhi didn't understand it yet, but she was always encouraged to learn and think deeply, and immediately patiently solved the problem for Xiaolang, but the more she answered Ding Youwei, the more surprised she became, Xiaolang's understanding of "Analects and Doubts" was not below her, not only that, but there were also novel and wonderful theories, and some of the questions asked, Ding Youwei could not answer.

", my sister-in-law can't answer." Ding Youwei's face was slightly red, as if the white jade had smeared a faint rouge: "You have already thought about some problems deeper than your sister-in-law, your sister-in-law can't teach you, you should worship a famous teacher, it used to be Qingzhi who taught you, and after Qingzhi died, you relied on your own self-study, but you were able to achieve such a situation, sister-in-law is really surprised, it's a pity——"

Chen Caozhi saw that Ding Youwei pursed his lips and was silent, so he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, it's a pity that I'm not a child of the scholar clan, right?" ”

Ding Youwei looked at Chen Caozhi with concern, a little worried, Xiaolang is sensitive and strong, he was wronged in Dingfu the year before last because of Shishu, and was about to explain, but he heard Chen Caozhi continue: "Sister-in-law, don't care, I won't be angry about this, Shishu is different from me, I know that Xuexuan, a poor disciple of a poor family, seems to be a little uneasy about my duty——"

Speaking of this, Chen Caozhi paused, looked at Ding You's slightly clear eyes, and said with a calm smile: "My sister-in-law, like my mother, Zongzhi and Run'er, are my closest people, and I can say something in front of my sister-in-law——"

Ding Youwei's heart was warm, and his eyes were gentle: "Well, it." ”

Chen Caozhi's waist was straight, his kneeling posture was straight, and he said: "I think this nine-grade official law has not existed since ancient times, Confucius Yun's 'education without class', and Emperor Wei Wu's "Seeking Talents" said 'meritocracy', if you only talk about the door, how many talents in the world will be in vain?" However, it's useless to complain, the Jiupin Guanren Law is now connected and deep-rooted, and I didn't dare to be arrogant enough to ignore it - sister-in-law, I think my Yingchuan Chen clan is also a county family, how can the Qiantang Chen clan who moved to Jiangdong be classified as a Shu clan because of the war? The Nine Rank Official Law was formulated by my ancestor of the Chen family, Chang Wen Gong (i.e., Chen Qun), at the suggestion of Emperor Wei Wen, and now even the descendants of Chang Wen Gong cannot be included in the scholar clan, isn't this a great mockery of the Nine Rank Official Law? What I want to do is to let the Qian Tang Chen clan return to the Shi clan, Zong Zhi and I don't have to worry about miscellaneous servants, and I want to take my sister-in-law back to Chenjiawu, of course, this requires my sister-in-law to be willing. ”
