Compared with the last time Chen Cao left Jiankang to go to Guxiao, the send-off people gathered, this time to Xifu was much more deserted, except for Chen Shang, Gu Kaizhi, Liu Shangwei, Kong Wang and others, only Xie Lang and Xie Shao brothers came to see off their cousin Xie Daoyun, Xie An and Xie Wan did not show up, and Sima Yu, the king of Huiji, sent the king of the kingdom to set up a curtain on the chrysanthemum platform in Xinting to set up a curtain to set up wine, and to make a trip for Chen Caozhi and Zhu Yingtai, Xi also sent people.

Chestnut and short hoe brothers and sisters waited at the bottom of the mountain as last time, and after Chen Caozhi said goodbye to everyone, he stepped forward and sent Nan Weirui a gift prepared for Chen Caozhi, with complete clothes, socks, and pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc., 6 Wei Rui knew that Chen Caozhi's fee paper -

"Chen Langjun, the eighth day of August is the birthday of my little lady, don't forget it." The little maid reminded with a smile.

Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "How can I forget, if there is nothing important in the military government at that time, I will take an excuse to go back to Jiankang, still meet in the new pavilion, and personally celebrate the birthday of the little lady Weirui, where the chrysanthemums on the chrysanthemum platform must be more beautiful, it is the time to appreciate the chrysanthemum." ”

The short hoe said happily: "That's great, every time my little lady sees Chen Langjun, she will live happily for at least half a month——"

Chen Caozhi said: "But don't talk to the little lady about it first, I'm not sure I can come, after all, I have a ministry now." ”

The short hoe was very optimistic, only paying attention to Chen Caozhi's previous sentence, and said: "I know I know, let's not talk about it first, and then surprise my little lady." ”

Chen Caoyi smiled: "Okay, don't send chestnuts and short hoes, Brother Yingtai and I are on our way." He turned his head to Xie Daoyun, who was walking with the car, and said, "Brother Yingtai, get in the car." ”

The chestnut and the short hoe stopped, and watched Chen Caozhi pedal on the horse, that Zhu Yingtai Zhu Langjun must not be able to ride a horse, nodded to the two of them, lifted his robe lightly, lowered his head and raised his legs to get into the carriage-

The girl with the short hoe was more careful, and saw that Zhu Langjun went to the ground with one leg and stepped on the edge of the carriage with one leg. The white silk single shirt is wrinkled layer by layer due to the side of the body and the bending of one leg, outlining the outline of the waist and hips, the legs are really long, and the waist is also very thin, but the tight buttocks of the silk dress are round and round-

In the blink of an eye, Zhu Langjun got into the carriage, and the delicate bamboo curtain hung down.

The short hoe was excited, and then he felt a little funny, and then looked at Chen Langjun, who was straight, handsome and elegant on horseback, and felt that he still preferred to see Chen Langjun like this, but Zhu Langjun was really charming when he got into the car. But I felt a little awkward, a little strange, where the space was awkward, the short hoe couldn't figure it out.

Chen Caozhi and Zai Sheng rode horses to drive the ox cart, and ten Xifu sergeants followed on foot, Xie Daoyun In addition to the willow catkins and the two maids of the wind, Xie Daoyun also brought two loyal Xie tribes and two servants.

June 28, has passed the dog days, but the weather is still hot, the group rushed for more than an hour on the road, in the Lao Sheng shop rest, Chen Caozhi because of the mourning Ge Shi decided to vegetarian for three months to commemorate, originally did not ask Ran Sheng vegetarian, but Ran Sheng wanted to follow, because Ran Sheng is now nominally his younger brother, Chen Caozhi will not dissuade, but Ran Sheng ordered him to hand these ten sergeants to eat together for three months, the ten sergeants frowned, but they were afraid of Ran Sheng, did not dare to complain.

In the summer afternoon, the sun is scorching, because there is no urgency, there is no need to rush under the scorching sun, Chen Caozhi and Xie Daoyun feel very leisurely, Xie Daoyun is in a very good mood, she has not been out for three years, and this time she is walking with Chen Caozhi, remembering that time from Wu County back to Jidongshan, as if it reappeared yesterday. It's just that Chen Caozhi didn't know her true identity that time, but this time it was clear, but looking at Chen Caozhi's attitude, he was not alienated or close to her because of the change of her identity, and he had a good grasp of the proportions of a good friend-

"Well, Zizhong said that he was uneasy about helping me become a teacher, he thought that once I became a teacher, I would never be able to marry another woman, Zizhong could not be exempt from vulgarity, and women had to force themselves to marry, Ruan Infantry once said, 'Is the etiquette religion set up for my generation?' I think I'm doing this way now, I can do what I want, and I have the freedom of a man—"

There are five or six hundred-year-old camphor trees up to ten zhang in the back garden of Lao Shengdian Post House, the afternoon sun is shining, but the backyard is full of green trees, very cool.

Xie Daoyun ordered his subordinates to spread a piece of abbot-sized guan mat in the back garden, put a small case, and invited Chen Caozhi to come here to enjoy the cool summer.

Chen Caozhi walked over and said, "How can there be no tea." "Ordered the post house to prepare a small charcoal stove, to shock the black pottery teapot and the Yue kiln celadon teacup, the pot water boiled twice, the spring was beaded, Chen Caozhi poured water into the teacup, and gently covered the lid. Smiled and said: "This is the tea I planted in Chenjiawu, newly picked before the Qingming Festival, finished, rolled, dried, and can be drunk after boiling water, the fragrance is eternal, well, it is not boasting." ”

Xie Daoyun heard the words "definitely not boasting" at the end, and couldn't help but wonder, and said: "Whether you are boasting or not, wait for me to taste and test." ”

After a while, seeing Chen Caozhi tasting tea, Xie Daoyun also held the teacup, opened the lid, and suddenly felt fragrant, and praised: "Sweet as an orchid." Look at the tea leaves floating and sinking in the water, green and delicate, a small leaf shaped like a bird's tongue, very beautiful, take a sip gently, the first feeling is light and tasteless, it seems to be not as good as sencha, but after a while, I feel that there is a kind of faint fragrance between the lips and tongue, I can't help but light up my eyes, and praise: "It's really delicious." "After a few more sips, the atmosphere of purity and harmony is dense, and it really feels like it has penetrated into the heart and spleen.

Chen Caozhi glanced at Xie Daoyun's red lips wet with hot tea, white teeth appeared from time to time, and the tip of his tongue was faint, so he looked elsewhere and said: "I Chen Jiawu planted 500 acres of tea gardens the year before last, increased to 1,000 acres last year, and opened 2,000 acres this year, and collected a total of 150,000 catties of tea last year, which will be doubled this year." ”

Xie Daoyun said: "This Chen's new tea is simple and easy to drink, and the tea is pure, and it will be popular in the world, but I am afraid that 2,000 acres is not enough." ”

Chen Caozhi said with a smile: "The hero sees the same thing. My fourth uncle saw that last year's more than 100,000 catties of tea still have more than 20,000 catties unsold, I don't want to increase the tea garden, I am bent on asking for an increase in production, this time I wrote back to let the clan transport 2,000 catties of unsold high-grade Gexian tea to Jiankang, I want to give it all away, so that my uncle An Shigong and Wan Shigong will inevitably receive my Chen's tea. ”

Xie Daoyun stared at Chen Caozhi and said with a smile: "Zizhong can be said to have a way to make money, after this kind of tea drinking method became popular in Jiankang, it was naturally popular in Jiangzuo, and 2,000 acres of tea gardens were in short supply, and it took 20,000 acres." ”

Chen Caozhi said: "Tea gardens should not be too much, to plant wheat and rice as the first, although Sanwu is rich, it is advisable to have a famine year." ”

Xie Daoyun said: "Zizhong is really a great talent who has helped the people in the world, everything is clear, but unfortunately now he can't show his ambitions, 6 is the Sanwu Gate Valve, the field is million, if the son is re-managed, the family and the country will benefit." ”

When Xie Daoyun and Chen Caozhi are alone, they don't have to say Luoyang dialect in a thick nasal tone, but only in their original voices, because they are afraid that outsiders will hear them, they often speak very softly, as if they are whispering, hovering low, full of affection.

Chen Caozhi heard Xie Daoyun say this, obviously very much in favor of his marriage with 6 Wei Rui, but his marriage with 6 Wei Rui was linked to the benefit of the Yu family, the clan and the country, which made Chen Caozhi a little uncomfortable, Xie Daoyun is too smart and looks at things too rationally, but Xie Daoyun is indeed right, if he can get the financial support of the 6 family, he will be able to make great achievements, not to mention other things, the two generosity of planting and mining alone can make huge profits, last time he borrowed the name of Ge Shi, and instructed Huan Wen to look for iron ore to the east of Wuchang, Jingzhou Thorn Shi Huanhuo must have news coming back soon, the iron ore there must be found, this is just a small test of his knife. He can't follow Huan Wen with all his heart, he has to leave a way back, he has to plan more for his family, and the cunning rabbit also has three holes-

Xie Daoyun saw Chen Caozhi's ink eyebrows furrowed and silent, so he naturally thought that Chen Caozhi was worried about the matter with 6 Weirui, so he asked, "What are Zizhong's plans?" ”

Chen Cao didn't understand for a while, and asked, "Brother Yingtai asked me what I planned?" ”

Xie Daoyun hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "I asked about Zizhong and the little lady, what are your plans?" ”

Chen Caozhi looked at Xie Daoyun, Xie Daoyun smiled shallowly and calmly, he really looked like he was thinking about his friends, Chen Caozhi was a little dazed for a moment, and what Xie Xuan had said passed through his heart - "My sister wants to be friends with you for life, but in fact, I ask the couple not to take a step back." But now in the face of Xie Daoyun's clear and wise eyes, Chen Caozhi was a little skeptical of Xie Xuan's words and his own feelings, Xie Daoyun Bing is clear and jade, and the wind god is high, she is really not an ordinary secular woman, maybe she really just values friendship, and it is blasphemous to say that she can't get anything for the sake of the couple. Such a woman should be respected for the rest of her life-

Thinking about it like this, Chen Caozhi's mood was a little lighter, and he paid more respect to Xie Daoyun, and replied: "I have no specific plans, I let the 6 little ladies wait for me for three years, I only have to work hard, and I am often worried in my heart, for fear of delaying her." ”

Xie Daoyun lowered his eyes and looked at the slightly floating green tea leaves in the teacup in his hand, and said: "Xiao 6 Shangshu is very appreciative of Zizhong, the biggest obstacle is the big 6 Shangshu, my three uncles all said that the big 6 Shangshu is too rigid and easy to break——" Speaking of this, he raised his eyes and smiled, and said: "I can't say it anymore, it would be despicable to say it again, I thought that Zizhong would definitely get his wish, anyway, the 6 family married a daughter to Zizhong, it is definitely a good fate, there may be criticism at the time, and I will see the good thing after a long time." ”

Chen Caozhi said with a smile: "Brother Yingtai praised me too much, I'm ashamed." Xie Daoyun said: "It's not a compliment, it's an encouragement, Zizhong always has to burden himself and do things that ordinary people can't do, there is a long way to go, I pity it." With that, he took a sip of tea and turned his head to look at the mountains outside the courtyard wall.
