The Rise of the Cold Gate in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 64
Taihu Lake is very quiet at night.

A few wisps of lonely moonlight peeped from the top of the distant mountains, secretly touching a few pieces of lake light, and the late wind has a different style, unclear and not light, it seems to be narrating, two or three stars on the lake in the distance Fishing fire, complement each other, full of affection.

There is not a trace of noise in the whole world, pure and simple, soft and comfortable, as if from another world, some, about throbbing, silent, incomprehensible feelings.

The cabin is neither spacious nor luxurious, only two sheets and a few books, a few hanging pens are whispering, and an honest yellow light hangs on the top of the cabin, exuding a smoky yellow mist lonely, with the The swaying boat moves forward, and the mist is also unsteady, and the brakes are fun.

Xiao Qinzhi sniffed the fragrance on the soft land, felt at ease for no reason, only felt that all the worries in this world would go with the wind, listening to the subtle sound of water coming from the paddles stirring the lake, Xiao Qinzhi suddenly felt Laughed.

It turns out that this is peace of mind.

This trip to Wuxi, Xiao Qinzhi was actually under a lot of pressure. There were dozens of people in the fleet, and they all let it go. Even the sixth uncle was only an assistant and rarely took the initiative. How could Xiao Qinzhi not understand the intention of the patriarch? ?
Therefore, Xiao Qinzhi did not refuse, growth is a journey that a person must go through, the previous generation will always grow old one day, what should come will come after all, and the young eagle will eventually spread its wings and fly.

It's just that I didn't expect that Fahrenheit would do this so relentlessly, Xiao Qinzhi was forced to fight back, and had to pretend to be calm and composed on the outside to give confidence to the clansmen, but Xiao Qinzhi was also very terrified deep in his heart , was afraid, but did not dare to reveal the slightest bit, for fear that one of his own carelessness would ruin Xiao's future.

Fahrenheit may still have room for reversal, but Xiaoshi has only one dead end.

Fortunately, the final results were all developing in the expected direction. Xiao Qinzhi took advantage of Fahrenheit's pride and arrogance, and borrowed a gust of east wind to turn the clouds upside down and stand at the end.

Xiao Qinzhi carried out a final review in his mind, confirming that the matter was a certainty. After Fahrenheit had no other means, he couldn't help but smile knowingly. Gradually, fatigue suddenly struck, and he fell asleep, desperately in need of a hearty sleep. Make up for the exhaustion of the past few days.

Hearing the faint snoring sound in the cabin, Chen Yunzhi lightly put down the oars, frowned and stared at the wisps of moonlight on the other side of the mountain, he couldn't help thinking: "What a goose, it's all like this, Still want to sleep."

As soon as the words in his heart were finished, Chen Yunzhi couldn't help pursing his red lips, worry crept up his cheeks, he no longer had the joy of reunion, he only felt that this drifting boat and the crescent moon in the sky were both lonely and deserted.

That crescent moon, that blue haze, that big lake, that small boat, and the people on that boat were not related at all, but they met and knew each other at the same moment, so they made up a beautiful scene.

Thinking of this, Chen Yunzhi became even more worried, feeling that even the lake wind blowing had lost its warmth, and sighed inwardly: "Isn't it the same for me? Hide yourself in a dream to find purity."

Chen Yunzhi brushed a strand of hair, gently and softly, bowed into the cabin, cast a glance at the sleeping goose, and lay down on the other bed by himself, turned his back and didn't look at it, maybe he was angry .

Unexpectedly, as the night turned on, the snoring of the dumb-headed goose continued, which annoyed Chen Yunzhi, who closed her eyes, and suddenly turned around, with a sudden soreness in her heart, dim eye sockets, and a smoky yellow halo on Xiao Qinzhi's face A patch of redness and swelling was left, and the dried blood was still clear. Xiao Qinzhi, who used to be eloquent and well-dressed, suddenly fell silent.

Chen Yunzhi thought that maybe he was too tired to fall asleep.

As a result, Chen Yunzhi relieved the grudge in his heart, got up and took the wash water, and gently wiped the blood on Xiao Qinzhi's face with a white silk cloth dipped in water, and after a while, the white silk cloth turned red.

Chen Yunzhi was attentive, meticulous, and absorbed in wiping, completely oblivious to Xiao Qinzhi's snoring, and Xiao Qinzhi's small heart was violently hitting his chest.

Xiao Qinzhi felt it in his sleep, and felt a trace of coldness creeping across his face. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Chen Yunzhi in front of him, and his heart suddenly froze. There was something in the cabin.

This is it!
Yes, Xiao Qinzhi was inexplicable, but this was absolutely unacceptable, so he had to endure this embarrassing moment, pretended to sleep, and said in his heart: "I treat you as a brother, but you, Brother Yun , you are the man who wants to marry Xie Daoyun, I beg you, please stop."

Suddenly, Xiao Qinzhi's mind was quick, and a bolder thought came to him: "Could it be, Brother Yun? Damn, this is too—crazy." Inexplicably, he felt his whole body tense up, and his legs stretched straight.

Suddenly, the white silk was thrown on Xiao Qinzhi's face, Chen Yunzhi pouted his red lips, angrily said, "Wipe it yourself when you wake up, don't bother me."

Xiao Qinzhi had nowhere to complain, and thought to himself: "Obviously you took the initiative to wipe me while I was asleep, so why did you become bothering you and make it so embarrassing."

However, he twisted the wet white silk that covered his face, and said with a smile, "Thank you brother Yun, I accidentally fell asleep and forgot to do it myself. .”

Chen Yunzhi looked at Xiao Qinzhi whose face was half swollen, feeling angry and distressed, how could he know Xiao Qinzhi's love in Xiao Qinzhi's heart, but seeing Xiao Qinzhi still smiling playfully, he didn't know himself, so he immediately said: "I'm Zhou Fuck It's good, it's not as good as someone else's beating, just look at your face, it's half swollen, no more, no less, the person who wants to beat you must be highly skilled."

As soon as this was mentioned, Xiao Qinzhi couldn't help making rumors in his heart, thinking: "Ah Lie's punch was somewhat jealous, the bridge of the nose was almost broken by the hammer, I have to clean it up when I go back."

Xiao Qinzhi rubbed his nose, didn't dare to laugh, and said funny: "He must be jealous of my prosperous appearance, otherwise he wouldn't hit me on the body or on the legs, and he would hit me in the face when he came up."

Chen Yunzhi was so teased that he chuckled, and said: "I saw your entourage, he was so tall and strong, why didn't you stop him?"

"He - of course - is naturally under control, there are so many of them."

Xiao Qinzhi stammered in his answer, and Chen Yun knew that it was not that simple, and no matter Xiao Qinzhi's face was injured, it was unjustifiable just because his followers had nothing to do. It is normal to kill followers to stand up.

"Then tell me, why did you have a conflict with Fahrenheit?" Chen Yunzhi's sharp eyes were full of reason.

"This--this starts with Fahrenheit bullying my elder sister." Xiao Qinzhi roughly explained the ins and outs of the matter.

"So, because you vented your anger for your elder sister, you wrote that poem, which made Hua Shijun vomit blood and fell into a coma. Then Huajiao retaliated against you for this matter, and without any justification, he relied on his power to imprison you. Into the county prison, and then condemned people to hurt you, but this?"

"Yes! That's it!" Xiao Qinzhi said bluntly, and then boasted: "Brother Yun is smart, and he really knows a little bit, so save me the trouble of talking."

However, Chen Yunzhi is not a person who is easy to fool. After going through this matter carefully, he immediately found many flaws:
First, Hua Shijun must have vomited blood and fell into a coma. Whether it was because of that poem is still unknown.

Second, Huajiao angered Xiao Qinzhi because of this incident.

Third, Huajiao did not directly use power to suppress people, but made excuses to show that he was still a little bit smart. As for the fact that he lost his mind in the end and threatened in public, it must have been stimulated. The biggest possibility is what Xiao Qinzhi did.

Fourth, Xiao Qinzhi went to prison, the Chinese sect condemned people to hurt his face, and the northern gentry happened to arrive. It was really a coincidence that these three met at the same time.

Too much coincidence is the biggest flaw.

If you replay the game and do the reverse deduction, you will find that Xiao Qinzhi has taken advantage of the time and created a favorable location to reconcile with others. Chen Yunzhi pursed his lips and smiled, understanding in his heart. Good calculation."

"What—what? I am a victim." Xiao Qinzhi evaded his words, pretending to be stupid.

"Do you want me to elaborate?" Chen Yunzhi looked at Xiao Qinzhi carefully, his beautiful eyes were shining, and said: "Brother Qin, a poetic Hua Shijun vomits blood and faints, and a poem is ostentatious in public, I am afraid it is Wuxi. No one in the city knows, no one knows, this is the right location."

"The Taihu Lake Gathering is about to be held. Even if the northern gentry don't come today, they will come tomorrow. This is harmony."

"The rest, don't I need to say more?"

"Alas—" Xiao Qinzhi sighed dejectedly.He thought he was using sophisticated schemes, but before he realized it, he was seen through in a short while, looking eagerly at Chen Yunzhi, and said with a wry smile, "I knew I couldn't hide it from Brother Yun."

With another thought, with deep meaning, he joked: "It's a pity that Yun's brother is a man, and this life is cheaper for Xie Daoyun. If Yun's brother is a daughter, I will definitely marry you, a female Zhuge, and I can rest easy for the rest of my life."

"What do you mean by lying down?" Chen Yunzhi asked with a pair of pretty eyes, puzzled by the strange words that often came out of Xiao Qinzhi's mouth.

"It's just lying down straight, eating and dying for the rest of my life."

"You have a good idea." Chen Yunzhi lay on the soft couch, staring at the green light shaking on the cabin roof, a faint smile was drawn on his face by the smoky halo, and wanderingly said: "A man should go out into the world, or Aiming at the court, or aiming at the battlefield, or aiming at one side, how can you hide behind me and live an ordinary life, it is better than that."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yunzhi suddenly realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly changed his words: "If I marry Xie Daoyun in the future, I will make a fortune for her and protect her forever."

Xiao Qinzhi let out a long breath, swallowed the heart hanging in his throat, and said in his heart: "Brother Yun, you really scared me!"

In short, this topic cannot be continued. Xiao Qinzhi was really afraid that he would be caught off guard, and asked: "Brother Yun, why are you in Wuxi? Where is Brother Tan?"

Chen Yunzhi said: "We are going to visit my aunt in Kuaiji, passing by Wuxi, I don't want to meet again. My younger brother is probably bored, so we went shopping at night."

"Oh, so it turns out that, if Brother Yun is not in a hurry, he can stay for a few days and go to Yuantouzhu to enjoy the Taihu Lake Gathering. At that time, talented leaders will compete to show off their talents. It must be very lively."

"Brother Qin, do you also stay to enjoy the Taihu Lake Gathering?"

"I can't, this matter is over, I need to return to Wujin quickly, my mother is looking forward to the stars and the moon waiting for my elder sister to come home."

Chen Yunzhi suddenly felt that his interest was greatly reduced, and suddenly asked: "Brother Qin, why don't you take advantage of the fame in Wuxi City and take advantage of the trend to participate in the selection. If you want to come to the fame of Brother Qin, you can easily adopt it."

"Come on, I don't!" Xiao Qinzhi was very self-aware, and said frankly: "I don't want to hide from Brother Yun, I will not participate in the final product this year. I'd better go home early to avoid the limelight. Besides, I don't have enough knowledge, so I have to work hard, study hard for a year, and only dare to write the first stroke of my life when my stomach is full of ink."

Chen Yunzhi nodded, agreed, and said: "The rest of Qin's brothers don't have to worry, playing the piano, chess, and books is enough, the question is whether you plan to go to Xuan first, or Confucianism and Xuan together?"

He frowned again and said thoughtfully: "I think it's better to have both Confucianism and Mystery."

Xiao Qinzhi pursed his lips and said: "Let's go to Xuan first, my family's conditions don't allow it, so Confucianism can be let go first."

Chen Yunzhi's thoughts trembled suddenly, and he said with a smile: "Brother Qin, there is no need to be like this. Why don't you travel to Wu County to study Confucianism under Dr. Xu's disciples, and at the same time, you can also study metaphysics and talk about Xiaoya, and you can also participate in it from time to time. It’s never advisable to work behind closed doors.”

A word awakens the dreamer.

Xiao Qinzhi said happily: "Brother Yun is right. I am familiar with Xu Xianmin and Zhao Yunfei. Then I can talk about Xuan and Confucianism with him every day. One year later, I will be participating in the final product with Xianmin. It would be the best."

Seeing that the little calculation was accomplished, Chen Yunzhi smiled implicitly, and could not help reminding: "Brother Qin, in fact, whether it is Xuan or Confucianism, the world thinks it is profound, but it is not profound. Broadly speaking, there are rules to be found. "

"Ah?" Xiao Qinzhi was pleasantly surprised, opened his round eyes, and asked: "Brother Yun, can you explain it carefully?"

Chen Yunzhi said: "First of all, you have to familiarize yourself with similar related books. When you talk to people, if you say something, others can't understand it, or don't understand its meaning. This can be called profound."

"Then what books should I read? I don't have enough books in my house, so I have to find a way first, which is also a troublesome thing."

"Let me write down some commonly used books with you first, remote and obscure books, you can take it easy for a while." Chen Yunzhi got up to the desk, thought for a while, took a pen and wrote down a series of book titles, dozens of books, many titles Xiao Qinzhi had never heard of them.

Chen Yunzhi continued: "To read it well means to engrave the content of this book in your mind, and you can say it at any time. You must not read it hastily, and you only know half of it. Painting a tiger is not an anti-dog, which caused a joke."

"Listen, I'll talk to you carefully"

Xiao Qinzhi suddenly became a good student, and Chen Yunzhi was the teacher who taught him, imparting all the experience of Tan Xuan in these years.
