The Rise of the Cold Gate in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 54

Xiao Yunzhi wiped the remaining tears from the corners of his eyes, feeling the long-lost love, a smile appeared on his pale face, like a lotus flower in ink, exaggeratedly blooming, and comforted him: "No one forces me. If I don't want to, who can?" Force me?" It was so cold that he brushed the warm tea with his slender fingers, offered it to Xiao Qinzhi, and said: "Brother, don't worry, you drink tea first, and I will tell you in detail."

Kong Qing held back her tears, choked up and said: "Madam, you and Mr. Xiao Lang first talk, I will clean up the things."

Xiao Yunzhi looked around the entire small courtyard, frowning and staring, reluctant to part.At the foot of Huishan Mountain, although the Huayuan is huge, there is only this small "Orchid Courtyard" that can accommodate it.

There are memories everywhere here, every flower and every grass is the past, there is joy, there is joy, there is pain, there is sadness, the feeling in it is speechless.

In the end, Xiao Yunzhi's eyes fell on the study room. The bookshelves are full of handwritten books. After Hua Yanzhi left, in the long and lonely years, only being neighbors with books can support his thoughts and find a moment of peace .

"Give up everything else, take these books with you."

Under Xiao Qin's eyes, these books can't contain a thousand volumes. Kong Qing alone, afraid that he doesn't know when he will pack up, got up and greeted Mangu, and ordered: "Go to the ferry, let Xiao Shu and the fat old man Rent a few boats and bring ten people to move the books."

Mangu came out in response.

Xiao Yunzhi came back to his senses and said: "Xu Miao said that you were at the Bei Ya Ji. You wrote poems and games, wrote books and talked about mystery, and the name 'Jiang Zuo Wei Jie' resounded throughout the Bei Ya Ji. I have doubts, so I let you Come early, now it seems that what Xu Miao said is true, I am very relieved."

"I asked Uncle An to inquire privately. Cheng Ying is the magistrate of Jinling County, and his uncle Cheng Fang is the magistrate of the county. Cheng Ying lost three wives and had no sons and daughters when he was not in doubt. The widow of Kezi is his wife and him."

"A few days ago, Mrs. Cheng asked her aunt to look for it. The old story is brought up again. Aunt Mrs. Cheng is Cheng Ying's aunt. Let Cheng Ying come to Huayuan to talk about it today."

Xiao Qinzhi's heart tightened, and he thought: "Cheng Ying lost three wives at the age of 40 years old, and her elder sister is both talented and beautiful. Although she has a daughter, she is only about [-] years old. How can you marry that old widower of Cheng's." Immediately interrupted sharply, said: "Sister, no, I don't agree to this marriage. Cheng's nothing to be afraid of, the second uncle has already planned, you don't need to worry. "

Xiao Yunzhi said: "brother, don't worry, I know it. I fell in love with Yanzhi at first sight. After we got married, the piano played harmoniously, and we had a daughter. Before Yanzhi left, I made a vow in my heart that I would never marry in this life. Accompany Rong'er for life. My second uncle wrote to me before, expressing one by one that there is no need to worry about the affairs of the family, so I want to meet with Cheng Ying, and I want to refuse with words. Uncle went out to spread the word, and soon everyone will know that there is no possibility of remarrying the Cheng family."

Xiao Qinzhi was stunned, and suddenly understood Xiao Yunzhi's intentions, and also understood the plan of the patriarch, to come to Wuxi to pick Xiao Yunzhi back home was the first, and to make a name for himself was the second.

Thinking of Xiao Yunzhi living alone in Huayuan, lonely and miserable, and not forgetting about himself all the time, it is this strong sister-sibling relationship that makes Xiao Qinzhi extremely moved but feels ashamed.

Thinking about it carefully, since Xiao Yunzhi got married, Xiao Qinzhi never took the initiative to come to Wuxi to visit his sister. How could Xiao Qinzhi, a disciple of Gao Liang, not feel ashamed?

This made Xiao Qinzhi, the only child from later generations, feel extremely moved.

It can be said that Xiao Yunzhi's happiness is all tied to himself, which makes Xiao Qinzhi feel the weight of Mount Tai on his shoulders. For the first time, he regrets why he didn't study hard earlier.

Late, really late!
Xiao Qinzhi stared at the determined Xiao Yunzhi, his face was troubled, his breathing was heavy, and he said eagerly:
"Sister, in case—"

Xiao Yunzhi pursed her thin lips, stared fixedly at the elder brother who had grown up, and said softly, "Brother, elder sister believes in you."

He also said: "Sister is a daughter, so she has no power, but as long as it is something that Sister can do, I will fight for you."

"Although Cheng Ying is older than you, I think he is just a reckless person. If not, why not become a county magistrate at the age of confusion? At the beginning of Yanzhi, he was an official of Bapin County Wenyuan. My brother, you are more likely to delay it. If it is more than it is, how can it be inferior to a bohemian?"

Xiao Qinzhi was silent for a while, pondered over and over again, he had a plan in mind, looked at Xiao Yunzhi with firm eyes, and said firmly and forcefully: "Sister, don't worry, I will take you home safely, no one can stop you."

He added: "I can't do it even if the king of heaven comes."

Xiao Yunzhi suddenly smiled, and smiled sincerely, layers of bright red blurred on his face one by one, like a painting, calling out: "My brother has finally grown up."

Man Gu hurriedly reported the arrival of Xiao Shu and the fat old eighth, Kong Qing went out and led into the courtyard, one fat and one thin, one tall and one short went straight in, some did not see each other, but they saluted together: " Sister Yun!"

Xiao Yunzhi felt relieved when someone from her natal family came, not wanting that the children from back then had grown up now, and said with a smile: "Second brother, eighth brother, you are tired, come and rest."

"Big sister, where is little Rong'er, I want to take a look." As soon as the fat old Ba came in, he left Xiao Shu aside and looked around.

"Little lady is still asleep." Kong Qing said.

Xiao Shu stood still with his head held high, he didn't say much, he didn't look directly at the fat old man, and directed people to pack up the thousand volumes of books on the bookshelf, when he saw Xiao Qinzhi drooping his eyebrows in thought, he asked: "What's wrong?"

The fat old man said in a broken voice: "Your father quits the job, we all have to listen to the arrangement of the fourth brother, so don't think too much about it."

Looking sideways at Xiao Shu again, he spat: "Fourth brother, keep thinking, don't talk to second brother, just speak up if you have something to say."

Xiao Shu held his head high, glanced down at the fat old man, and thought: "Can I take care of my father's affairs? He is the only one in the Xiao family who cares about others, who dares to take care of him? Xiao Yang is embarrassing. Interrupted."

I also think that the fat old man has disrespected himself as the second brother recently. He exchanged blows with himself on the way when he first came, and now he is losing face in front of Sister Yunzhi. He has to be reminded. "Cough cough" twice.

The fat old man is really upset with Xiao Shu recently, not because of anything else, just Xiao Shu’s pretending to look up at the sky at 45 degrees all day long, it’s really hard to see, it’s all between brothers, and there are no outsiders, pretending to give Who will watch it?
The fat old man thought to himself: "In terms of pretending to be aggressive, Xiao Shu must not be able to pretend to be the fourth brother, but Chen Erlang can pretend, and he was beaten up by the fourth brother, then there is only one answer left, that is to pretend to See for yourself."

In addition, Yang Yu, whom Xiao Shu had been longing for, was about to marry, so he couldn't help feeling a little overwhelmed, which made the fat old man even more uncomfortable. Before they came, the two had already spat at each other.

The fat old man boasted that Yan Ruoyu was better-looking than Yang Yu, as evidenced by Xiao Qinzhi's poems, but Xiao Shu was very angry.

Xiao Shu worked hard to protect Yang Yu, and he didn't know the fat old eighth, the boy chicken, he grew up so big, he never went to the county for consumption.

The fat old man lost his temper after being bullied, and secretly swore in his heart that he would secretly go to the county to spend money when he got home.

Looking at the two childish younger brothers, Xiao Yunzhi felt inexplicably happy. He hadn't been this happy for a long time, and the smile on his face never faded for a moment.

Sometimes, just watching family members bickering makes me feel happy, it's just such a simple thing, in the past few years, Xiao Yunzhi didn't dare to expect extravagantly.

After a long period of complicated thinking, Xiao Qinzhi repeatedly perfected the draft in his mind, and finally it was freshly baked. With a big wave of his hand, he called Xiao Shu and Fat Laoba to come and discuss with each other, and they might need to cooperate with each other later.

The three of them whispered in whispers.
