It is said that Xin Ran was playing in Goose Lake this day, and happened to meet Chen Ming, a descendant of Mr. Chen Liang of Longchuan, and the two hit it off at first sight, so they came to the lakeside restaurant, ordered a few side dishes, asked for a pot of wine, and talked while drinking.

During the drinking room, Chen Liang asked, "I don't know how expensive Brother Xin is this year?"
Xin Ran replied: "Don't dare, I will be nineteen years old this year;
Chen Liang said: "The younger brother is spending sixteen years this year, you and I are friends in the world, today you and my brother are like old friends again, it is better to marry brothers with different surnames, Brother Xin, you are three years older than me, I will call you Brother Xin, how about it?"
Xin Ran replied: "This is exactly what I mean, Brother Chen Xian, since this is the case, the foolish brother will climb high." ”
So the two worshipped in front of the statue of Guan Gong in the restaurant as brothers of the opposite sex.
When it was over, the two happily came to the table and drank freely.
Chen Liang asked Xin Ran: "Brother Xin, in the past, the younger brother once heard my father talk about this Goose Lake meeting, but at that time, the younger brother was still young and forgot many details, I wonder if you can remember the details?"
"Brother Xian, you and my father's meeting at Goose Lake, the younger brother has indeed heard my father mention it many times", Xin Ran replied.
"It was in the sixteenth year of Chunxi, in winter, Lord Lingzun set off from Yongkang, came to Shinshu, and slept on the way, after more than 800 miles, came to Shinshu to see his father. At that time, the deceased father was sick, lying on the bed, and the presence of the lord made the deceased father very happy, and the two of them boiled wine and tea, and tasted all things in the world, which was very pleasant;
My father used to:
My sick gentleman came to sing and drink, and scattered the snow flying on the building,
Laughing at the wealth and wealth, the hard words are empty and accurate.
Remember that at that time, there was only the west window month.
to describe the happy time when Ling Zun met him;
The late father said that Ling Zun still maintained a good living habit at that time: every day, he got up at dawn and practiced martial arts. But my father was nearly 50 years old at the time, and after 20 years of wandering in the rivers and lakes, coupled with the fight between you and me in the officialdom, my father was already very old and his teeth began to fall out, but the arrival of Ling Zun made the sick father rejuvenate his life. After talking for a few days in Huangquan and Goose Lake, the father and Ling Zun went south to Zixi to wait for Zhu Xi, a university scholar, which was not too far from Chong'an, where he lived, and Mr. Zhu Xi only had to walk 100 miles to meet him. However, Mr. Zhu Xi failed to accept the appointment, and soon he sent a letter to Lord Lingzun saying that the reason why he could not meet was: he just wanted to live a hermit life of "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and leisurely seeing Nanshan";
In fact, both my father and Lord Ling Zun understood: At that time, it was Wang Lin in the court of the Great Song Dynasty who had to wait to control the government. However, these people have different political views from their late father and Lord Lingzun, but these people have a good relationship with Mr. Zhu, and they are the so-called "Daoist" faction. Mr. Zhu was afraid that his meeting with his late father and Lord Ling Zun would cause attacks and misunderstandings from the Taoist school and affect his future, so he did not make an excuse.
However, Mr. Zhu did not come, but the father and Ling Zun talked more freely, they are both familiar with the geography of the world, and they have their own unique views on governing the country and resisting foreign aggression, unlike Mr. Zhu, who only talks about those marginal issues such as "king's tyrant and righteousness";
At that time, Lord Ling Zun advocated sending troops to the Northern Expedition from the east and west at the same time, and his father advocated concentrating superior forces, only taking one direction of SD as the first actual attack direction, and waiting for the Great Song soldiers to control SD first to disrupt the defense line of the Jin people, and then wait for the opportunity to move. The two had an in-depth exchange for ten days, and on the eleventh day, Ling Zun returned to the east, which was the meeting of Goose Lake that was praised by people all over the world in the past," Xin Ran said.
After hearing this, Chen Ming said with emotion: "On another day, if you and my brother can gather talents from all over the world and come here to have another meeting at Goose Lake, what a blessing it would be." “
Xin Ran listened to Chen Ming's words and said to him: "Yes, I hope you and my brother will have that day." “
