The waterway from Guyu to Jiankang is less than 200 miles. Downstream, the wind can come in the morning and evening, but the princess of Nankang does not want to return to Jiankang in the twilight, so the boat sails at noon, and at dusk, the boat is moored in the head of the turtle, and the head of the turtle is about thirty miles away from the Bailuzhou wharf outside the city of Jiankang, and it can be arrived in an hour early tomorrow morning. Advance people have been sent to Jiankang to report to Sima Yu, the king of Huiji, the secretary of the leading army of the Central Army, and others.

On the ship, Chen Caozhi walked onto the deck with dinner. Look at the river scenery at dusk, but see the strange rocks on both sides of the river. The reeds of the sandbar in the middle of the river are golden and the evening breeze is slightly cold, and he looks sideways at Xiaochan and says: "Sister Xiaochan, it's the golden autumn and August of the year again, and the days are really fast." ”

Xiaochan said: "Yes, it has been more than half a year since I left Chenjiawu on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, I never thought that I would go so far to follow Xiaolangjun to see this, I am much luckier than many women." ”

Xiaochan is responsible and optimistic, and she also knows how to cherish it.

Chen Caozhi smiled slightly, and thought: "My sister-in-law's four maidservants are all in good love, and they should have been influenced by my sister-in-law since I was a child. Well, my sister-in-law is the best sister-in-law in the world. ”

Ran Sheng walked up from the cabin with a pale face. said: "Brother, I really can't sit on this boat, and I feel like I want to vomit." ”

It's no wonder that Ran Sheng rode a horse and jumped and bumped, nothing happened at all, the boat shook a little, but he couldn't stand it. Now, although the boat is moored on the riverbank, the boat does not rise and fall slightly with the river waves.

Chen Caozhi smiled and asked, "Is it too full?" ”

Ran Sheng scratched his head and said, "I couldn't eat at lunch, so I was so hungry that I ate two more bowls." ”

Chen Caozhi said: "Then go ashore and take a walk." "Ordered the soldiers of the Navy to put down a small sampan, he and Ran Sheng took the small sampan to board the turtle head Zhu Zhu, Ran Sheng stomped his feet hard, and now he felt stable, and the two of them picked up reeds and walked in a scarce place——

After bathing, Sima Daofu, the lord of Xin'an County, walked up to the bow of the boat, and saw Li Jingshu in a white dress standing on one side of the ship, so she walked towards the other side of the ship. I didn't want to be with Li Jingshu, but I heard Li Jingshu say, "Isn't that Master Chen and his eldest brother?" ”

The county lord of Xin'an hurriedly walked over and saw the handsome Chen Caozhi and the tall and majestic Ran Sheng walking through the reeds of the turtle head Zhu Jin**-

Li Jingshu asked, "Don't you want to go ashore to relax, can I accompany you?" ”

The county lord of Xin'an felt that Li Jingshu's proposal was good, although she was reluctant to let Li Jingshu accompany her, but she went ashore alone, so she said: "You go with me." ”

The lord of Xin'an and Li Jingshu each took a personal maid, and the four of them boarded the turtle head Zhu in a small boat, and it was already the end of the unitary period, and the twilight was rising. The reeds of the golden ** have turned a dark pale color.

Li Jingshu said: "County Lord, please come with me."

Seeing Li Jingshu moving forward without hesitation, the lord of Xin'an County naturally thought that he was looking for Chen Caozhi, so he followed Li Jingshu behind him, and watched Li Jingshu's small waist twist and twist, very amorous, a little disdainful, a little jealous, but unconsciously also learned Li Jingshu's gait, waist and limbs.

Yuantouzhu is a sandbar on the river, one mile wide and four or five miles long, and the county lord of Xin'an followed Li Jingshu to the northeast, about hundreds of zhang away, and the reeds became more and more dense. When the sky was dark, I suddenly heard Li Jingshu's "ah" squatting on the ground, and the coquettish voice **he/yi——

The county lord of Xin'an asked in surprise: "You-what's wrong?" ”

Li Jingshu said: "I accidentally sprained my foot-" Reluctantly helped the little maid to stand up and said, "County Lord, let's go back, we can't find Master Chen." "The lord of Xin'an is the lord of the road to the black. Shi Zaiwang Xianzhi burned his feet with wormwood, and he couldn't get rid of her, but he knew how abrasive she was, and the county lord of Xin'an said impatiently: "Then you two walk back slowly, and I'll go forward a little further." "Let's take care of myself, take the maid Yu'er forward, where will I pay attention to the meaningful smile on the corner of Li Jingshu's mouth!

In August, it was very dark, the moon and stars were not visible on the night of the new day, and the Xin'an county lord wanted to see Chen Caozhi not afraid of the darkness and worked hard to move forward, and a black-eared kite suddenly flew up in the reeds, which frightened the two of Xin'an county lord and maid, and the two of them were frightened, and the moon looked around, and felt that the reeds seemed to have suddenly grown taller, covering their vision, and they were reckless and did not argue the direction.

The little maid Yu'er said timidly: "County Lord, let's go back first, it's so dark, and the grass is so deep, it's really scary." ”

The county lord of Xin'an was also a little afraid, but she didn't see Chen Caozhi, she was unwilling, but where could a small continent in the heart of the river go, and said: "Yu'er, you try to scream a few times-Chen Caozhi, Chen Caozhi-"

The fish shouted: "Chen Caozhi-" The weak voice was drowned in the autumn wind and long grass.

The fish was afraid, for fear that if she screamed, a terrible beast would pounce on her, and she did not dare to make a sound.

Sima Daofu, the leader of the Xin'an group, said: "Bah, it's really useless. She shouted "Chen Caozhi" in a sharp voice, and walked forward while shouting, and the soil under her feet gradually softened, and she stepped on the swamp left and right, and the green silk fell into the mud and did not pull it out, and with an "ah" sound, her left foot in cloth socks hung for a moment, and finally stepped on the muddy ground-

At this time, Chen Caozhi and Ran Sheng had already gone back. Ran Sheng's eyesight and ear power are better than ordinary people. Suddenly stopped and said, "Brother, someone is calling you." ”

Chen Caozhi listened carefully, and sure enough, he heard a woman calling, "Chen Caozhi-Chen Caozhi-" couldn't help but wonder how someone could call his name on this uninhabited sandbar, listening to this voice was quite unfamiliar.

Ran Sheng said again: "It seems that two women are crying." ”

Chen Caozhi said: "Go over and take a look." ”

The two of them followed the sound and Ran Sheng shouted and asked, "Who is over there?" ”

A girl's voice panicked and responded: "It's my county lord Xin'an county lord come quickly." ”

Chen Caozhi heard that it was the county lord of Xin'an who hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Sima Daofu, the lord of Xin'an County, said with a crying voice: "Chen Caozhi come and save me, my feet are stuck in the mud." ”

Chen Caozhi shouted: "Stand still." He approached quickly with Ran Sheng.

At this time, the sky was not yet dark, and the county lord of Xin'an saw two figures running over, and the person on the left was vaguely Chen Caozhi's figure, and he couldn't help but be surprised. shouted: "Chen Caozhi." "One foot high and one foot low.

Chen Caozhi stood up and asked, "Is the county lord okay?" ”

The lord of Xin'an will not lie and said: "Fortunately, Qingsi has lost one." Seeing Chen Caozhi, although he couldn't see clearly, his heart was extremely happy, and he was extremely happy when he was frightened.

Chen Caozhi said: "Then there is not much way to walk back slowly." Then he turned and walked slowly.

Sima Daofu, the lord of Xin'an County, followed behind Chen Caozhi, looking at the elegant white shadow in front of him, his heart was so happy that he didn't know where to put it, and suddenly asked: "Chen Caozhi, are you really not a girl from the 6th clan who doesn't marry?" ”

Chen Caozhi responded: "Unswerving." ”

Sima Daofu didn't believe it and asked, "Why?" ”

Chen Caozhi: "Because it's worth it." ”

Sima Daofu asked excitedly, "Chen Langjun still remember what I said to you in the Xinting Banshan Pavilion?" ”

Chen Caozhi said: "This is not appropriate for His Royal Highness the County Lord, and His Royal Highness the County Lord should not forget his identity. ”

Sima Daofu was like being poured a basin of cold water on his head, and he muttered silently for a long time: "I don't forget, I won't forget-"

Sima Daofu obviously does not forget his identity, but he will not forget the words on the chrysanthemum stage, "You wait, I will marry you".

Chen Caozhi only felt numb in the back of his head, and now he felt a little sad about Wang Xianzhi's self-harm. It's rare to see such a stalker, it seems that he has to hurry up and marry Wei Rui! Li Jingshu waited at the head of the continent to see the Xin'an County Lord Li Jingshu had nothing else to say, so she boarded the boat with the Xin'an County Lord and returned to the big boat, Li Jingshu thought that her goal had been achieved, she created an opportunity for the Xin'an County Lord and Chen Caozhi to meet, looking at the Xin'an County Lord's dejected appearance, it should be a deep love, and he couldn't extricate himself, and he would definitely catch Chen Caozhi's handle if he looked for an opportunity to use it in the future-

……

At the beginning of the second morning of August, I remember that the boat arrived at the Bailuzhou Wharf under the swallow rock, and the king of Jiji, Sima Yu, the leader of the Zhongjun Huan, and the Chinese scholar Xi Ju came to greet Princess Nankang.

Chen Caozhi met with Sima Yu, Huan Mi, and Xi one by one, and then followed Princess Nankang's convoy into Jiankang, Huan Wen had one of the Great Sima Mansions in the capital, and Chen Cao went to the Great Sima Mansion to greet Princess Nankang before leaving with Ran Sheng and Xiaochan to go to Hengtang Gu Mansion.

When Gu Kaiyi saw Chen Caozhi, he said loudly: "Zizhong, why did you only arrive today and the day before yesterday, alas!" ”

Chen Caozhi hurriedly asked why? Gu Kaizhi said: "6 The little lady was forced by her second uncle to leave Jiankang and go back to Wu County. ”

Chen Caozhi was full of thoughts about meeting 6 Wei Rui, but unexpectedly, this result was Rao is that no matter how good his cultivation is, he is also angry, 6 Shi is really unkind, treating his niece like this is simply cruel 6 Shi couldn't help him, Chen Caozhi was angry with Wei Rui, and immediately asked Gu Kaizhi: "Did Wei Rui leave Beijing the day before yesterday?" ”

Gu Kaizhi said: "It's Ah Tong who has been sending ten miles away to come back and say that 6 little ladies have cried into a tearful person, and 6 Wei Rui has a book trust Ah Tong will transfer it to you." "Immediately ordered the little maid to go to the inner courtyard to get the letter.

Chen Caozhi asked: "6 Mrs. Zhang also returned to Wu County together?" ”

Gu Kaizhi shook his head and said: "It is said that Mrs. 6 is pregnant, and the long road is bumpy, and she has not gone back with the 6 little lady, 6 The eldest son, Huiji County Chenglang 6, entered Beijing last month, and 6 Li ordered 6 Li and 6 Wei Rui to return to Wu County together, which is equivalent to escorting."

6, Cao Zhimo frowned, his heart was both angry and cherished, he felt that he couldn't help Wei Rui, Wei Rui had suffered a lot of grievances for her, but he was powerless to take care of her.

Zhang Tongyun personally took the letter and handed it over with tears: "Chen Langjun ordered this by Wei Rui in the car." A letter she had written was seen and torn up by her second uncle, and he scolded Wei Rui bitterly: If it were me, I wouldn't be able to live—"

Chen Caozhi's exhibition letter looks like a "Pingfu paste" style chapter grass 6 Wei Rui used to use the dignified and elegant "Huashan Tablet" Han Li wrote a letter to him, this time in the bumpy carriage can not be written in all directions, Han Li's Zhang Cao is also very skillful, the letter does not have half a sad outpouring, but please Chen Caozhi do not resent her second uncle, this time she can't meet Chen Langjun on her birthday, it doesn't matter, and in the next year, she 6 Wei Rui will wait for Chen Langjun in this life and this life-

Chen Caozhi got up with tears in his eyes and said, "Xiao Sheng is preparing a horse, I am going to send Wei Rui a ride." ”
