Seventy-seven, lotus petal spring orchid
Chen Caozhi walked slowly on the shore of Xiaojing Lake, the spring sun shines directly on the clear lake, rippling, dissolving and dissolving gold, Xi Xi Spring Breeze blows, blowing lightly cold, bringing the fragrance of distant mountains and trees, making people can't help but breathe deeplyββ
The bush of primrose flowers on the south bank are blooming, pink and white, vermilion, purple, green, unusually bright in the sun, last year Lu Weirui saw this bush of primrose and said that spring is going to come and see, saying that the flowers growing in the wild always have a strong charm that the garden planting does not have.
Chen Caozhi remembered what his sister-in-law Ding Youwei said to him that night, if he wanted to be with Lu Weirui, he had to work very hard, and it must be Lu Weirui who worked with him, in the face of the strong pressure of the world, if he retreated slightly, the end of the world would be forever apart-
Thinking of Lu Weirui's Huating where he was most likely waiting for him, he couldn't help but sigh slightly, Lu Weirui was innocent and persistent, she would cry for the withering of a flower, and she would not hesitate to make two trips a year to see the flowers...... Can Lu Weirui have the kind of loyalty of her sister-in-law Ding Youwei to her brother Chen Qingzhi of "holding the hand of the son and growing old with the son"?
In the bottom of his heart, Chen Caozhi also asked himself, he felt that he had too many concerns, family, relatives, this is what he wants to maintain, the mountains and fields are full of flowers, but the feet are thorny, whose love can be pure without any ties? And he and Lu Weirui are just vaguely affectionate and hazy now, if you are amorous and think that someone else will not marry you, it will be quite sad-
"We'll see!"
Chen Caozhi picked up a thin stone, shouted, and threw it hard, and the thin stone flakes hit five or six water drifts on the surface of the lake one after another before sinking to the bottom of the lake.
Ran Sheng, who was following Chen Cao, hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Xiao Langjun, what's going on?" β
Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "It's difficult to walk, so let's see." β
Ran Sheng said: "It's not difficult, it's hard to break through - Xiao Langjun looks at me as a drifter." "I found a thin stone piece, threw it with my arm, and the stone piece has been drifting for more than a dozen times, and it has slipped out of the water for more than ten zhang.
The steward of the Lu Mansion caught up at this time, and brought the news that a pot of Chunlan named "Lotus Petal" in Huating Manor withered to death, and asked Chen Langjun to go to the rescue, and the little lady of Wei Rui greeted Chen Langjun, don't shirk.
Chen Caozhi smiled lightly, and said in his heart: "Last time, the juhua jade version was really wilted, and it is unknown whether Chunlan's "lotus petal" is really wilted, it seems that this Huating can't be bypassed, so I have to go there." β
The Lu government sent a luxurious double-wheel carriage to pick up Chen Caozhi to Huating, and the car was equipped with a lacquer box, which contained flour cakes and preserved meat, which was really well considered.
Chen Caozhi asked Laide to drive back to Taolin Xiaozhu, and told Liu Shangwei and Ding Chunqiu that he took Ran Sheng with the Lu Mansion steward and the two deacons to leave for Huating immediately.
At this time, the carriage was very rare, Chen Caozhi was riding the carriage for the first time, the wheels of the carriage were slightly larger than that of the ox cart, and it was much faster than the ox cart, Ran Sheng and the Lu Mansion steward sat next to the coachman on the left and the right, and the other two Lu Fu officials followed the carriage and walked briskly.
One afternoon rushed forty miles, rested overnight in Qingpu Lu's villa, and continued to rush the next morning, obviously, the Lu Mansion steward was quite anxious, and the flower protection was like saving people, how dare he slack off on the flower matter of the little lady!
At the turn of noon, the carriage drove into the large-scale Lu's Huating Villa, Huating Villa across both sides of the Songjiang River, 320 hectares of water and land, more than 30 miles back in the week, including two mountains, there are more than 10 orchards, paddy fields grow rice, dry land grows hemp, wheat, millet, beans and the like, rivers and lakes plant Pu, mushrooms, ling, lotus, Huating Villa has 300 maids specializing in textiles, the production of Huating brocade and Huating fine Ge marketing Wu County counties, as well as winemaking, pottery, smelting, papermaking, medicine these handicrafts, planting, can be said to be a hundred industries are prosperous, there is everything, Ding's villa is really small compared to this Lu's Huating villa.
Huating Villa by the Lu family for several generations, the manor management is in good order, Chen Caozhi took a carriage into the gate of the villa, and drove for about a quarter of an hour to the villa house, this way, but saw hundreds of tenants began large-scale spring ploughing, some in the canal to divert water, some in the burning thorns and fields, it was really a busy scene.
The steward asked: "Does Chen Langjun have lunch first or go to see the little lady first?" β
Chen Caozhi said: "Flower protection is important. β
The steward led Chen Caozhi and Ran Sheng to Meiling Xiaoxi Garden, where Lu Weirui lived.
Lu Weirui is painting under the window of Xiaoxuan in the embroidery pavilion, painting the pot of spring orchid "lotus petal", the painting is not satisfactory, so she picked up the pen and wrote on it, looked at the spring light outside the window, bowed her head and wrote: "The spring is late, and the trees are blooming." Cang Geng, Cai Su Qi Qiββ"
"Little lady, Chen Caozhi and Chen Langjun have arrived."
Hearing the report of picking flowers, Lu Weirui, who was in a trance, stood up violently as if frightened, knocked a dish of garcinia cambogia on the case to the ground, and the maid hurriedly cleaned it up.
Lu Weirui greeted the small pavilion, saw Chen Caozhi walking briskly, leaving shallow clogs on the mud behind him, the afternoon sun shone on his face, he squinted slightly, his thin lips were also pursed, the lines on his face were tight, both handsome and clear, and his figure seemed to be more upright.
Chen Caozhi saw Lu Weirui in front of the pavilion, obliquely falling into a horse bun, a delicate pink shirt, eyebrows like distant mountains and light daisies, bright eyes like spring waves, tranquil demeanor, beautiful and indescribable, Chen Caozhi bowed to the ground two feet away: "See you at the beginning of the new year, Wei Rui Niangzi is fine." β
Lu Weirui looked at Chen Caozhi generously, and said with a sweet smile: "Chen Langjun is happy in the New Year, has Chen Langjun eaten?" β
The steward of the Lu Mansion behind Chen Caozhi said: "Chen Langjun is in a hurry to protect the flowers for the lady, and he has not eaten yet. β
Lu Weirui bit her lip lightly, smiled and ordered the steward: "Hurry up and let Chen Langjun eat, how can you treat distant guests like this!" β
Chen Caozhi said: "Protecting flowers may just be a gesture, why not take a look at the Chunlan lotus petals first?" β
Lu Weirui glanced at Chen Cao and said, "Okay, Chen Langjun, please come with me." β
The little maid and the short hoe are very familiar with Chen Caozhi, and they come to greet them with a smile.
"Lotus petal" Chunlan this variety, Chen Caozhi has seen, that is, the "green cloud" known as the queen of Chunlan in later generations, is the first delicate and difficult to raise in Chunlan, Chen Caozhi has seen, but has never raised, in front of this pot of Chunlan green clouds, fine leaves are upright, the roots are healthy and fragrant, the flower wheel opens four petals, three petals, two stamens, the fragrance is natural, delicate to the extreme, I really can't see where there is no place to nurture?
Lu Weirui stretched out a pointed little finger, dotted a leaf of Chunlan's "lotus petal" and said, "Chen Langjun, look, there are two yellow spots here. β
Chen Caozhi took a closer look and felt that this was not like an insect-eaten macula, so he touched it lightly with his fingertips, which was a little sticky, and then looked at his fingertips, which had been dyed with a little garcinia cambogia color, although he didn't look at it properly, he also knew that Lu Weirui was blushing, so he frowned and said: "Sure enough, it's troublesome, this lotus petal spring orchid is very rare, it would be a pity if it wilted." β
Lu Weirui echoed: "Well, yes, yes, Chen Langjun has any remedy to save flowers?" β
Chen Caozhi said: "I want to rest in the villa tonight, so I will move this pot of lotus petal spring orchid to my room, wait for me to treat it carefully, and ask Wei Rui Lady to prepare a pair of pen and ink for me, this orchid is rare, I want to paint it." β
When Chen Caozhi followed the steward to leave the Meiling Small Cherish Garden, he met a beautiful woman who walked towards the Little Cherishing Garden with a group of maidservants.
The steward said: "That's my Lu family's mother, Zhang's." β
Chen Cao thought to himself: "Didn't Lu Weirui say that her mother died early? Well, this Zhang clan should be the continuation of Lu Zhijun. β
