Volume 3 Wonderful Reward XXXI.

At the beginning of the shower, Mrs. 6 Zhang Wenjun took 6 Weirui to leave Waguan Temple and return to the city, sheep kidney, cistanche also purchased according to the dietary prescription written by Chen Caozhi, and stewed it that night and invited 6 Na to eat. 6 After fifteen years of vegetarian diet, I vomited when I smelled this yokan medicinal diet, and 6 Mrs. Zhang Wenjun tearfully begged her husband to eat it hard, saying that this was Ge Xian Weng's secret recipe. Try it anyway, stick to it for half a year -

6 Na also knew the sorrow in his wife's heart, but he thought that he couldn't have children because his wife was delicate, and now he let him eat this medicinal diet, which is really unreasonable, but he couldn't bear to brush his wife's intentions, and reluctantly ate a pot of lamb soup medicinal food, and when he was too full, he came to the study to write and relax, Zhang Wenjun naturally accompanied him, but saw his daughter 6 Weirui and a few maidservants busily looking for calligraphy and paintings, and asked what they were looking for? Answer: Look for the portraits of the two uncles and ancestors.

6 Na asked strangely, "Rui'er is not good at figure painting, what do you want to do with that portrait?" ”

Zhang Wenjun replied: "It is said that those two portraits were painted by Cao Buxing, and I also wanted to see them." ”

Cao Buxing was a famous painter in the Eastern Wu period. To be good at painting dragons and portraits, later generations will be called the four masters of the Six Dynasties and Gu Kaizhi, Zhang Seng Xuan, and 6 Tanzhi, and the Sheikh of the Southern Dynasty wrote in his "Catalogue of Ancient Paintings": "Jiangzuo painter Cao Buxing. Transporting 5,000 feet of silk to paint a portrait, the heart is sensitive and the hands are sick, and the head and face are hands and feet, the chest and shoulders are back, and there is no loss of scale. This is also difficult, because it is not exciting. ”

6 Nadao: "It was painted by Cao Buxing in his later years. When Shi Heng Gong and Shi Long Gong were weak crowns, they were already famous. However, those two portraits are not here, and they are collected on the second brother's mansion. "I ordered someone to go to the big 6 Shangshu Mansion to get the painting, it was a plain silk big shaft, the painting, 6 Yun Junyi is extraordinary, the head and face, hands and feet, shoulders and back are all out of scale, and the size of a real person, such a portrait is really rare.

6 Wei Rui said that he wanted to take the painting and appreciate it carefully, 6 Na did not care, but only told him to take care of it, and not to deface the painting.

Early the next morning, Chestnut was ordered to send these two portraits of plain silk shafts to Gu's house, just met Chen Caozhi's oxcart to go out, Chen Caozhi asked Chestnut to hand over the picture scroll to Gu Kaizhi, he is now going to see off General Xi and Gao Shizhong, and with Xi is the newlyweds of Linhe County Gonghuanji and Xin'an County Lord Sima Daofu.

Jiankang Wenchen military officials from the Hui Ji Wang Sima Yu below more than 100 people gathered in the new pavilion, for Xi, Gao Song and Huan Ji couple to see off, the new pavilion in the south of Jiankang city fifteen miles, west of the river, the terrain is dangerous, the scenery is magnificent, is the place of farewell, the feast. Gu Kaizhi's "New Pavilion Weeping Picture" is here.

There were too many people to see them off, Xi and Huan Ji were overwhelmed, Chen Caozhi couldn't join in the fun, and stood idly on the side, and suddenly heard someone behind him calling: "Chen Gongziβ€”β€”"

Chen Caozhi turned his head and saw that it was Jiang Sixuan, the general of the army, and immediately thanked him for his generous gift, it is not easy to build a healthy house, the land price is ten times that of other places, and there is no market for it-

Jiang Sixuan waved his hand and smiled: "Forty acres of strange books, Jiang took advantage of it, I have read this book carefully these days, and I have a lot of feelings, but it is a pity that there is no nameless palmistry in Beijing, and I want to talk with Chen Gongzi about a game, but I learned that Chen Gongzi painted Buddha statues for Waguan Temple!" When we meet today, how about not letting it go easily, how about Chen Gongzi talking to me in the half-mountain pavilion? ”

Chen Caozhi looked at Xi's side, and Jiang Sixuan said: Farewell lies in the heart, how can you rub shoulders in front of you, fold willows and shed tears? ”

The Jin people are free and easy, not bound by secular etiquette, Chen Caozhi asked with a smile: "Does Jiang Hu's army have chess equipment?" ”

Jiang Sixuan said: "There is always a stock in the ox cart. He ordered the servants to hold the chessboard and the chessboard on the half-mountain pavilion.

Xinting faces the river on one side, surrounded by mountains on three sides, the south mountain is flat, and the road is from here. The pavilion in the middle of the mountain is not high, it is only dozens of zhang away from the bottom of the mountain, there is a platform of several acres of vast acres, the land occupies the shape of the victory, you can overlook the beauty of the mountains and rivers, because the new pavilion has many chrysanthemums, this platform is the most suitable to enjoy the chrysanthemums. Therefore the name of the chrysanthemum platform, on the occasion of autumn and winter, the chrysanthemums around the mid-mountain pavilion bloom all over, the floating gold leaps into the jade, the flower color is extremely beautiful, there are people who love chrysanthemum and good wine linger here all day long.

Jiang Sixuan and Chen Caozhi sat down on the mid-mountain pavilion, playing against each other, about 20 or so, and a man in a white robe came up, sitting on one side, watching chess silently.

Chen Cao looked at it, but it was Wang Xianzhi. Nod slightly, don't say hello, and continue to play chess.

After Xi, Huanji, and Gao Song under the mountain said goodbye to everyone one by one, they will set off, and Xi asked if he saw Chen Caozhi left and right? Someone pointed to the Banshan Pavilion from afar, saying that Chen Caozhi and Jiang Sixuan were playing on the pavilion. It was Wang Xianzhi who watched the chess on the side, and said that Jiang Sixuan exchanged forty acres of land on the bank of the Qinhuai River for one of the chess gamesβ€”β€”

Xi laughed and said to Sima Yu, the king of Huiji: "Chen Zizhong can be said to have a good way to make money. ”

Sima Yu also smiled, but asked, "General Xi, why didn't Chen Caozhi go with you this time?" ”

Xi Dao: "Doesn't the king know? Chen Caozhi and Gu Kaizhi painted Buddha statues for Waguan Temple, which is a meritorious act, and naturally they will go to Xifu after he finishes painting. What he thought in his heart was: "If Chen Caozhi wants to make friends and become famous, and if he wants to become the person who needs to balance the forces of all parties in Huan Jigong, he should stay in Jiankang for a while, so there is no hurry to go to Xifu-" At this time, Sima Daofu, the lord of Xin'an County, who had already gotten into the carriage, suddenly burst into tears. The attendants and maidservants were panicked. couldn't be comforted, so he hurried to report to Sima Yu, the king of Huiji. Sima Yu suddenly felt that his head was as big as an ox, and he didn't know what this daughter was going to make trouble about, and Huan Ji was newly married for ten days, and the couple didn't say a word, and Concubine Xu, the biological mother of the county lord of Xin'an, quietly asked the county lord's personal maid, and the maid said that the county lord of Huan County and the county lord had only been in the same room once, and before the second half of the night, the county prince of Huan rushed to slam the door angrily-

Hearing the cry of the county lord of Xin'an, Huan Ji was indifferent with a cold face, if it weren't for his uncle Huan Mi's stern warning and Xi's dissuasion, he would have gone back to Jingzhou alone. This kind of seemingly noble, but in fact unvirtuous woman marries to do much, but his father Huan Wen has borrowed the place of the king of Ji, and the marriage between the two families is not something that he Huan Ji can resist, no matter what, this marriage has to be maintained.

Sima Yu walked to his daughter Xin'an County's main carriage and asked, "Daofu, why are you crying?" ”

Sima Daofu, the lord of Xin'an County, sobbed and said: "As soon as my son thinks of the far away mountains and mountains here, and it is difficult to see his father and mother in front of him, he can't help but feel sad, woo woo-"

Sima Yu breathed a sigh of relief and comforted: "Jingzhou is not far away, and Huan County is now a town. In the future, you can come to live in Guyu with Zhongdao, and it is only a few days of travel to Jiankang in Guyi, and it is very convenient to return to Ning. ”

Sima Daofu said: "Er really can't bear to leave Jiankang, and allows Er to climb the chrysanthemum platform to take another look at Jiankang City." ”

For his daughter's request, how could Sima Yu not allow it. He said to Huan Ji and Xi, and personally followed his daughter Sima Daofu to the chrysanthemum platform, and did not let the servants follow.

Yesterday it rained heavily, today it is sunny, and the spring is bright. The mountains and rivers are magnificent, the grass and trees in Xinting are verdant * flowing, and the Yangtze River not far away is reluctant to flow.

Sima Daofu, the lord of Xin'an County, wore a high bun, wore a pure white wedding dress, and the race skirt was up and down, and his clothes were fluttering, which was quite graceful.

Sima Yu couldn't walk as fast as his daughter, and said: "Daofu, this chrysanthemum platform is only in the middle of the mountain, where can I see Jiankang City more than ten miles away!" ”

Sima Daofu stopped, pointed sideways to the river not far away and said, "Father, this river is going to flow through Jiankang, isn't it?" Jingzhou is also close to the river, and in the future, my children will miss their relatives, so they will send their thoughts on the riverside to wish Jiankang their relatives well. ”

Sima Yu, the king of Huiji, is a person who values the mysteries of the heart, and when he heard his daughter's words, he was immediately moved, stepped forward and patted the back of his daughter's hand gently, and said: "Fu'er, the girl grows up**, there must always be a husband's family, parents can't accompany you for a lifetime, get along with Zhongdao well-"

Sima Daofu sneered: "Father, it's not wrong for a girl to always have a husband's family." But why did my father marry me to a soldier's son! ”

"Dao Fu!" Sima Yu said unhappily: "Don't mention the word 'soldier' in the future, Huan Jungong is jealous." ”

Sima Daofu was silent, and Sima Yu said again: "Long Kanghuan's family is illustrious, the Duke of Huan County is a high lord, ask Oh, the pillar of the country, and the mother of Zhongdao is Princess Nankang of Rugu, what grievances do you have!" ”

Sima Daofu said: "It is rumored that the Taiyuan Wang family once rejected the Huan family's marriage proposal, is my Sima royal family not as good as the Taiyuan Wang family?" ”

Sima Yu sighed in his heart: "The position of the family is indeed more stable than the royal family, even if the dynasty changes, it still needs the support of the family family, don't Qin and Yan in the north also try their best to win over the Boling Cui clan and the Fanyang Lu clan?" And the Sima clan, except for the Nandu branch, has been slaughtered in the north. ”

Of course, Sima Yu couldn't say this to his daughter. just said: "There are other reasons for the Taiyuan Wang's refusal to marry. It's not that I look down on the Huan family, okay, the chrysanthemum platform has arrived. Jiang Hujun, Chen Caozhi, and Wang Xianzhi are all in the pavilion, you don't have to talk nonsense anymore, you can't ignore the dignity of my Sima clan, you are already a wife of the Huan family, you can do it yourself. ”

Sima Daofu, the lord of Xin'an County, pouted and won: "Yes." Looking up at the two handsome men on the Banshan Pavilion, Chen Caozhi was wearing a natural color kudzu shirt, with a straight lacquer crown, large sleeves and light cages, and a straight sitting posture; The other should be Wang Xianzhi. Dressed in a white silk shirt, the demeanor of Rongzhi can be called a moment of brightness compared with Chen Caozhi, and the two of them sit on the pavilion, looking at it like a fairy -

As for Jiang Sixuan, who was all white, the county lord of Xin'an turned a blind eye, she thought: "I just heard that Chen Caozhi and Wang Xianzhi, two beautiful men, went to the chrysanthemum platform in the Mid-Levels Pavilion, these two people are so beautiful." It's pleasing to the eye, alas, how can I not marry such a handsome and talented beautiful man, Sima Daofu, I am the royal lord! Wang Xianzhi is already married to his cousin, and Chen Caozhi seems to have to marry a girl from the 6th family, but the 6th family refuses to allow the marriage, well, this is good-"

Chen Caozhi saw the father and daughter of the King of Huiji coming up. Xin said: "I didn't expect this Xin'an county lord to go up to this chrysanthemum platform before leaving, and I will definitely see Wang Xianzhi this time." Is it fate and cruelty, and it is inevitable? ”
