The top grade Hanshi volume two affectionate

The porcelain light was dim, and the room was hazy. Only the hand of the inkstone pen on the small case. and that clear and beautiful face in the light-

Xiaochan stood by the small door. Quietly watched Xiao Langjun concentrate on writing without stopping. The handsome thick eyebrows occasionally raised. It must have been written in the meantime. His lips pursed. The concentration is really moving.

Chen Caozhi copied an article. Pen. When I looked up, I saw Xiaochan standing there holding the door frame. Surprised: "Isn't the young lady resting yet?" Nearly three more, right? ”

A small "ahhh Come to your senses. Said: "Oh. Let's go to sleep - what else does Xiao Langjun have to order? "When he said this. Their voices trembled slightly. A heart seems to jump out of its chest. Chen Caozhi: "It's nothing. I will sleep with my hands clean. Good night to Sister Xiaochan. ”

Xiao also learned from Chen Zhi's saying and said goodnight. Back to the outer room small. Undress and lie down. Somewhat disappointed. But I feel ashamed. I thought: "Xiaolang Junyou treats me as a sister." Now I'm only shoulder-high. It's not called me Sister Xiaochan. Yu Yu sighed. Xin said: "That's it." It's nice to be by Xiao Langjun's side from time to time to see him do something for him. I'm just a handmaiden. Shelter in the West Building, such a merciful and generous lord's house. The old housemother, the current young lady, and the little Langjun who it. I didn't say a word about it. What more could I ask for, just serve Xiao Langjun well. If Xiao Langjun is willing to ask me, I will serve him for the rest of his life. If Xiao Langjun refuses to ask me. I have served him all my life. Anyway, the old master, the young lady, has something to say first. Jun can't drive me away—"

Come to think of it. Little is both relieved and sad. I thought I was twenty-four years old. Inevitably tossing and turning with both legs clamped......

It is the closest to go to Jiankang from the south bank of Taihu Lake through Huzhou Yang. But because Chen Shang went to Jiankang several times before, he went to Jiankang first in Wu County and then to Jiankang. Moreover, Wu County is relatively safe on this road, and I have not heard of any robberies by homeless people. Therefore, Chen Caozhi still went to Wu County first this time. And it's a detour to Huating-

At noon on the twenty-third day of the first lunar month. Cao Zhishang ferried across the Songjiang River, and Chen Caozhi stood at the head of the boat and looked at Meiling not far away. The deep green mountains are faintly colored in the sun. It must be reflected in the green plums, white plums, red plums, and rotten flowers that bloom on the ridge. Early in the morning at the end of April in the third year of Shengping, he took Laide Ransheng and left the Huating 6 manor. 6 is to climb Meiling as a send-off. That little white figure is like a white orchid that never withers. Three years and thousands of miles away. The fragrance is still in the nose -

It was old that when the hunchbacked husband got on the boat, Chen Caozhi greeted him politely. My husband also remembers Chen Caozhi. He frowned and asked with a smile: "Chen Langjun of Qian Tang?" ”

Chen Caozhi nodded: "Yes." ”

The hunchbacked husband's smiling face wrinkled even more, and he said in a voice: "I wish Chen Langjun and the 6 little ladies an early marriage." ”

Chen Cao's heart was wide-minded, and Shi Shi gave a Buddha salute and said with a smile: "Thank you for the blessings of the elders." ”

Chen Shang smiled slightly when he heard it on the side. I thought: "The sixteenth brother and the 6th little lady have already spread the word. Even this duke knows. I also bless the sixteenth brother. It's funny. The sixteenth brother went to Jiankang. It should be a no-brainer to pass the assessment of the eighteen states, and there is also the matter of the 6 little ladies, if you can really convince the head of the 6 family. Marriage with 6 little ladies and sixteen brothers is certainly happy. The prestige of my Qian Tang Chen clan will also soar. The first clan of Qian and Tang is none other than the Chen family. ”

——There are three criteria for judging the rank of the scholars: the book of the lord and the marriage of the world. The book valve is the county wangshi is the official position of the grandparents. Marriage, on the other hand, is to judge the position of the family from the position of the in-laws of the family. Therefore, the Gaomen clan and the Gaomen clan intermarried with each other, and the second-class nobles intermarried with the inferior nobles. The distinction is clear. There are few transgressions. Occasionally, there would be marriages between the first-class and inferior scholars, but it was unheard of for a top-level gate lord like the Wujun 6 clan to marry a second-class nobleman. And now. Chen Caozhi is doing this groundbreaking thing-

Chen Shangxin said: "But if the sixteenth brother can't marry the 6th girl in the end. That blow to the sixteenth brother can be described as heavy. The reputation of the sixteenth brother, as well as the voice of my Qian Tang and Chen clans, will be affected. How many people are waiting to see my sixteenth brother's jokes? Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that this trip to Jiankang is step by step. ”

The hunchbacked man knows a lot about the things in the 6 manor. Said 6, the little lady has only come back once since she went to Jiankang in September of the previous year. It is the day of eternal life on the 17th day of the eighth month. At the beginning of October, I still went to Jiankang. 6. Mrs. Zhang remained in the manor due to poor health. This hunchbacked husband's knowledge Chen Caozhi is going to Jiankang this time. and babbled a lot of blessings. It wasn't until Chen Cao went ashore.

After Huating 6 villas, you don't enter. Both lost and timid. Therefore, Chen Caozhi and his third brother Chen Shang went to the 6 clan's villa to ask for a meeting. Chen Caozhi, who was recognized by the manor steward. Amazed. The tongue does not go down. Hurriedly reported.

Mrs. 6 Zhang Wenjun accompanied 6 to Jiankang in the winter of the previous year. The body has been. I can't eat and sleep. Invite famous doctors in Beijing. Countless medications have not worked. I returned to Huating in August last year

But it got better. I know that it is because the water and soil are not adapted. So just stay. Yesterday, her brother Zhang Andao came to visit her from Shanyang County. At this time, he was talking in the small cherished garden. I heard that Chen Caozhi asked to see him. It was also shocked—

An Dao smiled: "Sister Xuan." This Chen Caozhi is here to propose marriage. ”

Zhang Wenmei said: "Brother." Don't make fun of it. Help me get an idea. Is this Chen Caozhi or not? ”

An Tao has never seen Chen Caozhi since the winter of the second year of Shengping, after the collection of flower and bird paintings in Wu County. But I can often hear rumors about Chen Caozhi. Since 6 and Chen Cao's private engagement for life came out. Discussions about Chen Caozhi are heard from time to time. There are different depreciations, but Chen Caozhi's talent and pure filial piety are recognized. Zhang Andao also wanted to see this Chen Caozhi again. Then he said: "What's the matter if you see one." Could it be that you still let people beat him out. ”

Zhang Wenjun laughed: "What my brother said is true. Am I still afraid that Chen Cao will not succeed? "I ordered the steward to invite Chen Caozhi's brother to meet in the flower hall of Xiaoxiyuan. When you arrive, you will report back.

A quarter of an hour passed. Tube to report. The Chan brothers have arrived. Zhang Wenjun and Zhang Andao got up and went to the flower hall.

Chen Caozhi stood under the window of the hall chief. Looking at the flowers and trees in the garden. Plum blossoms, daffodils, and three-color spring are all beautiful. The purple and red spring is very beautiful. It's a pity not here—

Listen for footsteps at the side door. Chen Caozhi turned his head. A man with a long beard in his forties came side by side with a beautiful woman. At first, I thought it was 6 envoys and Mrs. Zhang Wenjun. Immediately recognized that it was Mr. Zhang Mo and Mr. Zhang Andao. Take a few quick steps. He bowed: "Chen Caozhi meets Mrs. 6 to meet Mr. Antao." ”

Antao smiled slightly. Up and down to beat Chen Caozhi. He secretly said in his heart: "This son is more handsome than three years ago." The figure is upright, really like a jade tree in the wind. The eyes are calm. Elegance is contained. Jiang Zuowei's name is well deserved. He returned the salute: "Chen Gongzi." Since Wu Junbie. Suddenly. Chen Gongzi's reputation is heard from time to time. ”

Cao Zhidao: "Mr. An Tao in Wu County instructs. Benefited so far. ”

6 Mrs. Zhang Kun was also looking at Chen Caozhi. The handsome young man three years ago has grown into a beautiful man. Conduct yourself calmly. There is a knot. If you talk about the demeanor of the character. That's really good. It's a pity -

Zhang Wenjun said lightly: "Chen Langjun, please sit down - serve tea." ”

Chen Caozhi sat under the third brother Chen Shang. Said: "Madame, Mr. Antao." The road to exercise passes through Huating. So I greeted Mrs. 6. It's time to get back on the road. Zhang Wenjun knew that Chen Caozhi was going to Jiankang. Frowning eyebrows. I was very uneasy. said to Zhang Mo: "Fifth brother." I want to speak alone with Chen Langjun. ”

Zhang Mo smiled and got up. Ask Chen Caozhi: Cao Zhi can have recent works of calligraphy and painting. I want to see it. ”

Chen Caozhi said: "I only brought two paintings. A "Eight Heavenly Dragon Statues" and a "Mountain Dwelling Four Seasons" - "Said to Chen Shang: "Third brother." You take Mr. Antao to my car to pick up the painting scroll and watch it. Xiaochan knows where to put it. ”

6, Mrs. Zhang Wenjun waited for Zhang and Chen Shang to leave. The servants who were waiting were under the porch in front of the door. The huge flower hall is only her and Chen Caozhi. The afternoon sun shines quietly—

"Chen Langjun. Why do you want to say that you want her to wait for you. How could you possibly marry her? Zhang Wenjun doesn't talk nonsense. Come straight to the point.

Chen Caozhi sat upright. "6 Madame." Since I have said this to you. Then you should also understand the affection for me. And so do I. In the past three years, I may have been a little reckless and a little ignorant of the difficulties of the world. But for three years, I haven't forgotten what I said. I want to be together. I've been working on it too."

Zhang Wenjun looked at Chen Caozhi's firm and sincere gaze, and listened to his words, generous and affectionate. That's really moving. Just like Ri was moved by the infatuated words on the shore of Ping Lake. At this time, Zhang Wenjun was really willing to let this pair of lovers become dependents. said, "But how can you marry?" How did you say about the 6 clansmen. ”

Chen Caozhi's thick eyebrows frowned slightly. said: "This junior really has no clue. Who is the most important thing to convince? ”

Zhang Wenjun replied casually: "Of course it is, the second uncle." As soon as the words came out, I felt inappropriate. It is as if everyone except the beginning agrees with this family business. He added: "The people of the 6 clans are all against it. It's just that there is a strong one. And some are mild. ”

Chen Caozhi: "Thank you Mrs. 6 for reminding me." I know what to do. ”

Zhang Wen's face was slightly red. "I'm not reminding you. I'm here to keep you out of the way. ”

Chen Caozhi said: "Madam." If I know how to retreat. Isn't it negative affection? ”
