The Rise of the Cold Gate in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 38 Talking freely at the Huxin Pavilion, Chen Yunzhi fled in shame

Gentle spring, warm, people lazy in the sun.

Xiao Qinzhi was reclining, with his back leaning against the wooden railing, with one hand supporting his head, and the other hand "slapping Fang Qiu" and "splashing ink" in the breeze.

Chen Yunzhi sat upright, smiled slightly, and listened quietly.

"The wind in summer should be colorful, without the heat at noon. Especially in the evening, when the setting sun is slanting and the red clouds are thousands of miles away, if there is another wind, the weather will become cooler. In the endless rice fields, golden yellow is everywhere. The halo, hazy, gorgeous, is the most reassuring color in the world. The rice grains are plump, with a big head hanging down, almost bent to the ridge of the field. At this time, it is the most suitable for catching dragonflies."

Xiao Qinzhi looked at Chen Yunzhi and asked, "Dragonfly, do you know what it is?"

Chen Yunzhi frowned and shook his head slowly.

Xiao Qinzhi thought for a while, then changed his rhetoric, and said, "It's a dragonfly, don't tell me you haven't seen it before?"

This time, Chen Yunzhi knew it, nodded immediately, but then asked in confusion: "What are you doing catching them? Why is it best to catch dragonflies when the red clouds are in the sky?"

Xiao Qinzhi asked: "The morning glow does not go out, and the evening glow travels thousands of miles. Have you heard of this?"

Chen Yunzhi shook the white jade stag tail in his hand, and said embarrassingly, "I haven't heard of it."

"The morning glow in the morning means it's about to rain, and the sunset glow in the evening means it will be sunny tomorrow. In the evening, the weather is cool and the mosquitoes in the rice fields come out. Dragonflies feed on mosquitoes, so they fly low."

About the phenomenon of dragonflies hovering in the air, probably every boy will be curious in his childhood.

Xiao Qinzhi asked back: "Don't you wonder why dragonflies hover in the air?"

Chen Yunzhi was stunned, as if he had never thought about this question.

Xiao Qinzhi likes to challenge Chen Yunzhi's blind spots in knowledge, and it is easy to get satisfaction.

Without waiting for Chen Yunzhi to think too much, Xiao Qinzhi continued to look forward to it, picking up the memories in his mind, and said: "If we really want to talk about summer, the night seems to be more interesting than the day."

Chen Yunzhi pursed his lips, raised his head slightly, and couldn't figure it out, so he simply leaned against the wooden railing, raised his toes, and muttered to himself, "At night, it's getting dark, what's so interesting?"

"Humph—" Xiao Qinzhi bared his lips and smiled triumphantly, laughing at Chen Yunzhi's ignorance of the world, subconsciously said: "The bright moon leaves the branches frightening the magpies, and the breeze sings the cicadas in the middle of the night. The fragrance of rice flowers speaks of a good year, and one can hear the sound of frogs."

Chen Yunzhi stared at the top of the pavilion, but was stunned, and a picture appeared out of thin air in his mind: "The bright moon is in the sky, the moonlight is thick, in the dead of night, a few playful young people sneak out at night, startled The birds perched on the branches were annoyed and sang a few cicadas. The few people wandering in the night wind got into the fruitful rice field again, causing the frogs to cry. The scared fireflies danced all over the sky, following the wind Flying, light, erratic, flickering, the looming green light seems to fall into the world like stars in the Milky Way."

Chen Yunzhi's heart was filled with rippling and infinite reverie, these were things she had never come into contact with as a shelved person. Now that she thought about it, she seemed to understand what Xiao Qinzhi said, "there are more interesting things than reading." meaning.

It's really interesting to say, isn't it?
"Bright moon, don't frighten the magpie." Chen Yunzhi's beautiful eyes were rippling, and he muttered something in his mouth. He suddenly smiled inexplicably, showing dimples, and his toes went up and down. Listen to the sound of frogs.

With an ignorant look, he hastily turned his face and asked, "Is there any more?"

"Of course, let me think about it." Xiao Qinzhi simply lay up straight and thought, using his arms as pillows, looking at the top of the pavilion, while Chen Yunzhi looked at the person who was thinking.

Xiao Qinzhi picked up the picture in his memory, sat up suddenly, pointed to the artificial lake in front of him, and asked: "Have you ever seen a lotus pond? It's like the one in the summer garden. The flowers bloom in summer and the garden is full of lotus fragrance. "

"Yeah!" Chen Yunzhi snorted, nodded and said, "I've seen it, my house also has it, and it's bigger than this lake. Sometimes I'm bored, so I prop up a lotus-picking boat and paddle into the lotus pond by myself."

Xiao Qin smiled without revealing it, pretending to be mysterious and asked: "Then have you seen He Hai?"

Chen Yunzhi probably had no idea about the word "Hehai", so he slowly shook his head and asked, "What is 'Hehai'?"

"In the back mountain of my house, there is a big lake called Fengqi Lake. It is so vast that you can't see it. There are lotuses in the shoal area. When they are in full bloom in summer, lotus leaves meet the sky and lotus flowers reflect the sun. They are red, fat and green, and they are crowded together. , Boundless, boundless as far as the eye can see, the fragrance of clear lotus can float for ten miles with the wind."

Xiao Qinzhi smiled and said: "So I ordered him 'He Hai'."

Chen Yunzhi's eyebrows stretched, and it became clear in an instant. Thinking of the spectacular scenery of the "Lotus Sea" on Fengqi Lake, he suddenly felt that the lotus pond at home lacked a bit of meaning, so he hurriedly asked, "When will it open?"

Xiao Qinzhili replied, "Middle of June."

Yangliu Yiyi, the breeze blowing, the two people talking in the pavilion, unaware of the flow of time, unknowingly, the sun was in the middle, and it was noon, the sunlight moved from Xiao Qin's body to the edge of the pavilion.

Chen Yunzhi heard many anecdotes about Xiao Qinzhi, such as catching fish, eating cranes, skipping classes, gambling, etc. While he couldn't stop laughing, he couldn't help becoming more curious and asked:

"Brother Qin, since this is the case, why do you start studying now?"

Xiao Qinzhi exclaimed: "Where is it that I want to study, I say I was forced, do you believe me?"

Chen Yunzhi slightly wiped his head away, pursed his lips and smiled, thinking that a "ignorant" person was forced to start reading, and there must be an interesting story hidden in it.

He turned his head, opened his eyes wide, suppressed a smile, nodded and said, "I believe it, tell me, how did you get persecuted?"

Xiao Qinzhi sighed and said: "When we talk about it, we have to start with an old man who resigned from office and stayed at home with nothing to do."

When Chen Yunzhi heard about the several confrontations between Xiao Qinzhi and the patriarch, all of which ended in failure, and was forced to embark on the road of studying, he couldn't help it anymore, and wanted to wipe his head away and cover his mouth. Not stop snickering.

Xiao Qinzhi said with a bitter face: "Brother Yun, I only said these things to you because I took you as a friend. Instead of comforting me, you laughed at me, so I won't tell you in the future."

Chen Yunzhi turned his head, his face was still flushed, like a spring flower in full bloom, heroic and feminine dancing together, sassy and bright in the same posture, a trace of girlishness inadvertently revealed, it was really beautiful.

Xiao Qinzhi glanced casually at first, but unexpectedly he was stunned, unable to move his eyes away, and suddenly understood, this era's preference for handsome men.Suddenly, Xiao Qing was startled, and had a bad feeling, thinking:
"Could it be that I have a tendency to be bent?"

Thinking of this, Xiao Qinzhi himself was really taken aback, he quickly looked away, looked elsewhere, and shouted in his heart:

"I'm straight, I'm straight, I'm straight, the important thing, emphasize it three times."

Chen Yunzhi felt Xiao Qinzhi's strangeness, and looked elsewhere in time. After a few breaths, his mentality returned to normal, and then he turned around and said seriously:
"Brother Qin, since you have made an oath in front of all the clansmen, you should keep your word. As a man, we must do what we say to show our true nature. Besides, your uncle is dead, and you are the only one in the family. Man, you must take up the responsibility of the family and protect your mother and sister for the rest of your life."

Looking at the lake, Xiao Qinzhi still hadn't recovered from the fright just now, and casually said: "It's natural, otherwise, how can I have the face to live? It's just a fixed product, there is still a year, it's not a problem. "

Suddenly there was silence under the pavilion, Xiao Qinzhi felt strange, turned around and saw that Chen Yunzhi had got up and walked to the edge of the pavilion, with his hands behind his back, looking at the lake and sighing:
"Brother Qin, do you just want to be a small official and spend your life idle? Brother Qin's talent is rare in the world. If it is just like this, it would be a pity."

Xiao Qinzhi said with a smile, "I'm just an ordinary person in the world. In terms of talent, I'm not one ten thousandth as good as Ji Kang. Brother Yun, I'm absurd."

I thought Chen Yunzhi was just talking casually, but he turned around, his eyes showed sincerity, and he said seriously: "Brother Qin, do you think that Ji Kang doesn't want to serve the country and the people? He just wants to be a wild crane?"

Xiao Qinzhi was puzzled and said, "What if it's not the case?"

Chen Yunzhi sighed and said: "The owner of Changle Pavilion married by Ji Kang is the daughter of the Cao family." Then he faced Xiao Qinzhi, his eyes were unbiased, and asked directly: "Brother Qin, will he also marry the daughter of the Cao family in the future? ?”

When the four eyes met, Xiao Qinzhi understood instantly, terrified, jumped up, covered Chen Yunzhi's red lips, and whispered in his ear: "You are crazy, this is a decapitation, it will be troublesome if someone hears it." .”

Chen Yunzhi had never had physical contact with a man before. This sudden scene made Chen Yunzhi forget to break free for a moment, his whole body was stiff, his beautiful eyes widened in shock, his breathing was rapid, and his white face was covered with red.

Xiao Qinzhi still didn't know it, while looking around nervously, he still murmured in a low voice: "I'm from a poor family, how can the daughter of the Sima family like me, let alone Huan Wen is not—ah, it hurts—hiss—"

Before he finished speaking, a sharp pain suddenly came from the warm hand covering Chen Yunzhi's red lips. One of Xiao Qin took his hand away and jumped a few steps away, only to find that there was a neat row of teeth on the little finger. mark.

"You are a dog, how can you bite people?" Xiao Qinzhi complained, and when he looked up, he saw that Chen Yunzhi had turned his back, but his neck and the roots of his ears were full of crimson, and he said angrily: "A big man, don't you?" Just touch it, why is your face still red?"

Chen Yunzhi ignored it, took out the white juan cloth, wiped his face, and straightened his clothes. After he was all right, he turned around and said seriously:
"It's a poor family now, but it may not be the same in the future. Your Xiao family was still a noble family before."

Immediately, he took the white jade tail, bowed his hands and saluted, and said goodbye in a hurry: "It's noon, I'm sorry to bother you, so I will continue at another day." After finishing speaking, he drifted away.

Feeling baffled, Xiao Qinzhi looked at Chen Yunzhi's leaving back and shouted stupidly: "Hey, what's going on, you asked me out, why did you leave first?"

The white scarf fled into the green willow, and hid the peach red, too hastily.
