二十七、抉择

亥时末，小婵便催促道：“小郎君，该歇息了。”忽然扬眉抬眼，作出倾听的神态，惊喜道：“雨停了。”急忙起身到楼廊上一望，压抑着喜悦的叫声：“乌云散了，我看到月亮了！”
陈操之起身道：“小婵姐姐还要拜天孙吗？”
小婵道：“未过子时，就还是七月七，可以祭拜的。”
陈操之道：“那好，我来助小婵姐姐。”
陈操之将三张金丝楠木几案搬到三楼露台上，小婵把桂圆、红枣、榛子、花生，瓜子，还有茶、酒和瓜果这些早已准备好的祭品摆上几案，捧来香炉，点上香，犹豫了一下，说道：“我去叫一下青枝，她不想错过乞巧的。”
青枝睡眼惺忪地来了，喜道：“真能看到月亮了，太好了，小婵姐姐运气好。”
陈操之负手立在一边，看着小婵和青枝恭恭敬敬地祭拜天孙，雨虽然停了，但四面天际犹有云霾，只天心偏西一侧有一大块朗朗无云，正好看到那一弯上弦月，被雨水洗过一般清亮莹澈，云隙间还点缀着疏疏几粒淡星。
陈操之不禁想起陆葳蕤，心道：“不知吴郡那边天气如何，葳蕤会等到这云破月出的一刻吗？”
小婵和青枝刚刚祭拜毕，一片云翳漫过来，月亮就遮住了，二人高兴极了，都说好运气好运气，又交头接耳，吃吃低笑。
……
名医杨泉叮嘱陈母李氏莫要风寒感冒，但老年人体质虚弱，对这风寒可谓防不胜防，七夕之夜大雨不断，天气转凉，陈母李氏就感冒了，咳嗽、低热，服了几贴小柴胡汤后，低烧是退了，但咳嗽一直过了半个月才好。
感冒是好了，体质却明显又衰弱了，从一楼上到二楼都气喘不止，一坐下来就打盹，真正去睡时却又睡不安枕，这让陈操之很忧心，但能请到的名医都请来了，也实在是无法可想，他现在搬到母亲大卧室的外间睡，里间是母亲与英姑，每夜他都要起来几次去看望母亲，有时母亲睡不着，就陪母亲说几句话——
七月十五是地官帝君的诞辰，陈母李氏一定要儿子去钱唐城杜子恭天师道场参加地官帝君的诞辰庆典，陈操之不敢违母命，一早赶去、当日傍晚就赶回来，连嫂子丁幼微那里都没去一见。
陈母李氏风寒咳嗽痊愈后就已经是七月底了，看着母亲衰弱的样子，陈操之知道自己不能赴陆葳蕤之约了，去华亭来回最快也要八日，便写了一信，将画好的那幅陆葳蕤与山茶“瑞雪”的《赏花图》让来德和冉盛一并带去华亭，至于陆葳蕤说过要陈操之送她的赤绳，因为陈操之不能亲去自然也就不送。
来德和冉盛是八月初一出发的，但直到八月十五中秋节时也还没回来，看看一轮明月升上来，荆奴有些着急，来问陈操之，陈操之道：“他二人想必又去了吴郡，估计这一、两日就会回来。”
正说着，坞堡大门传来叩击声，冉盛的大嗓门喊道：“荆叔，开门，我和来德哥回来了。”
荆奴大喜，赶紧去开门，冉盛进门道：“我二人为了赶回家过中秋，今日行了一百五十里路，还真有点累了。”
来德和冉盛顾不得歇气，径随陈操之进书房，来德取出包裹，将陈操之写给陆葳蕤的信和画送还，说道：“陆小娘子不在华亭。”又取出一信：“这是陆小娘子要刘郎君转交给小郎君的信。”
冉盛道：“小郎君，我与来德哥初六日赶到华亭，华亭墅舍的管事说陆小娘子不在华亭，我二人便赶去吴郡，见到了刘郎君，却道陆小娘子之兄病重，陆太守已经不理公务，整日忙着为儿子求医，这信是陆小娘子早几日交给刘郎君的，陆府现在比较忙乱，我与来德哥商量，这信和这画就没有送进去——”
陈操之看罢陆葳蕤的信，眉头深锁，说道：“来德、小盛，你们做得对，辛苦了，赶紧去用饭。”
来德、冉盛下去之后，陈操之独自在书房默坐——
陆纳只有一子一女，视若珍宝，这陆长生服五石散致病，一向瘦骨零丁，这次宿疾发作，只怕凶多吉少，上次杨太医说起陆长生都是摇头。
陆葳蕤幼年丧母，现在这兄长也是命不长久，这世间的生命是如此脆弱、亲情短暂，想起自己两世的父母，陈操之深切感受到了魏晋人的深情和感伤，伤心人各有怀抱，无从怜惜、无从安慰——
……
中秋节后的第五日，陈尚又从建康回来了，与陈操之在书房密谈。
陈尚道：“十六弟，我这次回来是请你赴建康的，你一定得去一趟了。”
陈操之问：“三兄，入士籍之事怎么说？”
陈尚道：“这次申请入士籍的分别是我钱唐陈氏、汝南梅氏、琅琊孙氏、荥阳郑氏分支、诸城刘氏分支、范阳卢氏分支，一共六姓，大司徒司马昱接见了这六姓族长，又召集祠部尚书、左民尚书以及谱牒司贾令史商议，报请皇帝御裁，皇帝命大司徒召集各州大中正审定，赞成与反对者各半，一时无法决断，反对者认为规矩不能改，否则的话士庶之分何在？士族尊严何在？而赞成者则说这六姓本是北方士族，南渡后因考核不当才致沦为寒门的，其中汝南梅氏、琅琊孙氏是举族南迁的，因为渡江比较晚，在江南无立足之地，也谋不到官职，是以成了庶族，而颖川陈氏、诸城刘氏、范阳卢氏、荥阳郑氏都是族中分支南迁，嫡系依旧留在北地，有的已受到苻氏、慕容氏的重用，所以对这些南迁的士族应予以褒奖、恢复其士族地位，以示皇权南移，江左士族才是正宗，这样可以笼络北人之心，会有更多归附者——”
陈操之点头道：“朝中官吏还是有识见的，并非一味死守士庶之别。”
陈尚道：“但固执的还是占多数，若不是桓大司马派书记袁宏来见大司徒司马昱，这入籍之事只怕就无疾而终了，桓大司马威望素著，他建议陈、梅、郑、卢、刘、孙六氏分别派最杰出子弟赴建康，由大司徒和十八州大中正当面审核，看六姓子弟当中是不是有杰出之才、高尚之德，然后根据审核结果评定这六氏优劣，最终决定是否有资格重归士籍？”
说到这里，陈尚殷切注视陈操之，说道：“十六弟，这是你扬名建康的绝好时机，桓大司马的提议应该是出于郗参军之谋，郗参军极为看重你的才识，早就说过，江左年轻一辈，唯谢玄、王献之、顾恺之、陈操之四人尔，十六弟若到了建康，我钱唐陈氏不入士籍也难。”
