The Rise of the Cold Gate in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

48 The Return
The night was hazy, and the night wind was blowing, but the doubts lingering in Chen Tanzhi's mind could not be blown away. Unknowingly, he went back to the room, and saw that the light was still on in Sister's room. go.

Unexpectedly, a female voice came from the door: "It's brother, are you back?"

Chen Tanzhi whispered, "It's me."

"Come in."

Chen Tanzhi entered the door hesitantly, walked in front of the case, and sat on the floor without saying a word.

The copper phoenix lamp with feather patterns exudes a faint yellow halo, and there is a faint fragrance in the room. It is quiet and quiet. Under the lamp sits a delicate woman with long hair, a few strands of hair are messy on her forehead, and her face is pale without makeup. Like the morning glow reflecting the snow, the lips are a little red cherry, the eyebrows are open and charming, and the green temples are full of spring smoke.

The woman under the lamp is naturally Chen Yunzhi in her true colors. She fell to the ground wearing a satin white gown in the daytime, with a leisurely and elegant demeanor. Rong, already knew that Xiao Qin's determination was a perfect pass.

"Let's talk about it." Looking at the lonely brother, Chen Yunzhi thought about it.

With a bitter face, Chen Tanzhi deliberately concealed the fact that he was beaten up by Xiao Qinzhi, and told all the other things in detail.

"I can understand, where did the defeat come from?" Chen Yunzhi stared deeply, and said lightly.

"I don't know enough about him, so I fell into his tricks." Chen Tanzhi stubbornly believed that Xiao Qinzhi was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and even got beaten for no reason, maybe it was because of his intentional mistake.

"Think again." Chen Yunzhi said coldly.

"He's too treacherous." Chen Tanzhi spat.

"I told you before, don't blame others, think more about yourself." Chen Yunzhi admonished.

For sister, Chen Tanzhi is convinced from the bottom of his heart. In terms of knowledge and wisdom, Chen Tanzhi has never met anyone of his age who is better than his own sister, so he often listens to her teachings.

"Yeah." Chen Tanzhi said nonuo: "I would also like to ask sister to correct me."

"Don't you think about it, what can he do in my poems? If I didn't show it to you, how would you know? You think it's good, but you don't know it. If you can do more Think about it, if you don't show this poem, other people will only know the poem he wrote about Yan's little lady, so you just need to watch it from the sidelines, since Yan's troubles him, why do you have to do it yourself? ?”

What Chen Yunzhi said made Chen Tanzhi suddenly enlightened. He didn't expect to help Xiao Qinzhi after losing his wife and soldiers. He secretly regretted in his heart, and suddenly became alert. Why help him?"

"I have my own ideas." Chen Yunzhi continued to teach: "Your eyes are full of revenge, and you are so impatient that you lose your reason and judgment. When you encounter problems in the future, don't be reckless. You have to think calmly before you act. Got it?"

Chen Tanzhi nodded and said, "Sister, I already know."

Silent for a while, the depression in my heart still persisted, and said again: "Sister, is there a way to beat him? He actually underestimated me, and finally ended in a draw. His skills are inferior to others, I admit it, but his pity, I absolutely cannot." Not accepted."

Chen Yunzhi murmured: "Why does the river flow from high to low, from east to west, instead of from low to high, from west to east?" Being cheated by this stupid goose again, how could he have pity on you?"

"Let me teach you, victory is not martial, it is unfair to him, relying on others is worse than relying on yourself, you have to think about it yourself, if I am not here in the future, who will teach you?"

Chen Tanzhi nodded sadly, thinking about what Ajie said, he began to ponder, and thought: "My Go and Tanxuan seem to be no match for him, and his calligraphy is not bad, and his poetry is even more unrivaled, so the only thing I can do is painting. .”

That's right, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the only thing that hasn't been displayed yet is the painting, Chen Tanzhi said ecstatically: "Sister, I know, he must not be good at painting, I will go to him tomorrow."

"How do you know he's not good at painting?" Chen Yunzhi asked rhetorically.

"This——" Chen Tanzhi hesitated, and seemed to say that Xiao Qinzhi couldn't paint, and it seemed that he couldn't justify it.

"You don't have confidence in yourself?" Chen Yunzhi asked again.

"Why? I'll go tomorrow." Of course, Chen Tanzhi would not grow others' ambitions and destroy his own prestige, and vowed: "I'll go back and prepare now."

The copper phoenix with feather patterns was lit, and the open book was closed again. It was lonely and silent. Chen Yunzhi lay on the bed, raised his crystal little feet, exposed his fragrant shoulders, stared at his eyes and smiled, thinking: "Stupid goose, Are you still hiding it?"

However, the next morning, when Chen Tanzhi was ready to look for Xiao Qin, he found that he had gone to Loukong. Yang Shangbao said that the Xiao brothers had left for Wujin early in the morning.

Chen Tanzhi stubbornly believed that Xiao Qinzhi had escaped, and thought: "If you can escape from the monk, you can't escape from the temple. If you win, you will run away. It's not that easy. Wu Jin, just wait."

When Chen Yunzhi heard the news that Xiao Qinzhi was leaving for Wujin, he couldn't help being a little angry, and secretly spat: "Well, you're a goose, you don't even say hello."

How did they know that Xiao Qinzhi just left without saying goodbye, he really left in such a hurry that it was too late.

In the past few days, the patriarch lived in a state of fear, fearing that something would happen along the way, and Xiao Qinzhi's reputation would be ruined by falling into his hands.As for matters concerning the five clans, they were all negotiated, and the Yang family also agreed to Xiao Shu's marriage.

Therefore, the patriarch bid farewell to Diao Lun last night, and left early tomorrow morning on the pretext of family affairs.

So, in the early morning, before dawn, the patriarch came in a hurry and woke up the three of them. Xiao Qinzhi was in a slumber, left the Diao's manor, boarded the boat, and embarked on the return journey.

Uncle Six, Uncle Seven, and Uncle Nine have not been seen these days. They were busy purchasing a lot of agricultural tools, ironware, bronzeware, etc. in Diao's, and also purchased many daily items in the city.

When they came to Jingkou, the two ships carried dozens of people, which were equivalent to empty ships. When they returned, the two ships were fully loaded, and the sails on the masts were all raised, and they moved slowly.

Standing at the stern of the boat, Xiao Qinzhi tasted the early morning river breeze and looked at the rising sun on the sea level.
