In order to let Zongzhi and Run'er get close to his mother Ding Youwei for a long time, the fourth day of the fifth month did not leave for Chenjiawu early in the morning as before, and he had to have lunch in Ding's villa before going out.

can be close to the two children for a few more hours, Ding Youwei is both happy and sad, but also worried that her aunt is leaning on the door and looking forward to it

Chen Caozhi comforted: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I told my mother when I came, and if I don't arrive home after noon, I will arrive in the evening." ”

Ding Youwei said: "Xiaolang is always so careful and thoughtful. ”

But half a day passed quickly, and at the time of parting, Run'er hugged her mother Ding You's slightly white neck and whispered: "Mother, don't be sad, we will soon be together without separation, right?" ”

Ding Youwei nodded vigorously, kissed Run'er on the cheek, hugged a pair of cute children into the ox cart, smiled and waved goodbye, her dark eyes were wide open, and her long eyelashes didn't dare to blink, because her eyes were full of tears, and they would flow down in the blink of an eye.

The oxcart moved, and Zong Zhi and Run'er naturally sang the poem of the ugly uncle and the two of them when they left their mother in early May last year:

There are strange trees in the courtyard, and the green leaves are blooming.

Climb the strip to fold its glory, will be left behind.

The fragrance fills the sleeves, and the road is far away.

How expensive are things. But I feel goodbye.

……

A round of red sun gradually set beyond the mountains to the west of Mingsheng Lake. Twilight is falling. You can't see Chenjiawu's huge and sturdy dock fort yet. But the curling smoke was seen from afar.

Three ox carts and seven or eight servants walked with them. The roads are cramped. Rifle first drove the ox cart to the side of the road. so that the ox carts on the other side can pass. Coming to Germany also drove to avoid one side.

The three ox carts staggered by. The last one came to a sudden stop. The curtain on the windows opens. Someone in the carriage said, "Is it Chen Caozhi?" ”

Ran Sheng hurriedly said: "Xiao Langjun." Someone is looking for you. ”

Chen Caoyi got off the ox cart, and the people in the carriage said "Huh" and said, "It turns out that you are Chen Caozhi." ”

The carriage was dark, Chen Caozhi couldn't see the speaker's face clearly, and the voice was also very unfamiliar, so he arched his hand and said, "Who is here, what are you looking for me?" ”

The man said, "I would like to hear the recorder under my feet." ”

Ran Sheng smiled and said, "Another one came to listen to Xiao Langjun's." ”

Chen Caozhi didn't say anything more, asked Xiaochan to hand out his Keting flute from the carriage, sat on the wheel and played a song based on the kang qin songs "Changqing" and "Short Qing".

The twilight was heavy, the ears of wheat were fragrant, the five ox carts were silent, only the sound of a flute was lingering, like the smoke of the cooking in the distance, for a long time, three ox carts to the east, the other two to the west, farther and farther away, each disappeared into the haze twilight.

……

After the Dragon Boat Festival, Chen Xian, the patriarch of the Chen clan of Qiantang, took his eldest son Chen Shang and two middle-aged tenants to leave Qiantang and set off for Beijing.

Chen Caozhi and Chen Xiandi's youngest son Chen Tan, as well as Chen Mo from the East Building, were sent to Fenglin Ferry, before getting on the boat, Chen Shang held Chen Caozhi's hand and asked: "Sixteenth brother, what did my father ask me to accompany him to Beijing, the sixteenth brother must know, tell me first, this is uncomfortable." ”

Before Chen Caozhi could answer, Chen Xian, who had already boarded the boat first, shouted: "Shang'er, get on the boat quickly." ”

Chen Caozhi said: "Third brother, this is a major event in the clan, the fourth uncle will tell you soon, the third brother take care, take care of the fourth uncle, and have a safe journey." ”

Chen Mo is Chen Xian's second son, who passed on to Donglou as his heir, three years older than Chen Caozhi, and Chen Tan is one year younger than Chen Caozhi.

Chen Mo and Chen Tan also asked Chen Caozhi: "What happened to my father and brother going to Jiankang?" ”

Chen Caozhi said: "The fourth uncle strictly ordered me not to say it, otherwise it would be a good thing for the patriarchal to wait anyway, didn't the eighth brother and the seventeenth brother see the fourth uncle's beaming appearance?" ”

Chen Mo and Chen Tan said: "That's right." ”

The three of them went back to Chenjiawu and talked while walking, Chen Tan was going to study at the Xu Academy under the Lion Rock in Wu County next year, and there were many topics, so he asked Chen Caozhi this and that.

Chen Caozhi said: "Then Dr. Xu's son Xu Miao Xu Xianmin is my best friend, I will come to Chenjiawu in September, Xianmin's family is very knowledgeable, and the seventeenth brother can ask him for more advice." ”

Chen Tan said with a smile: "Sixteenth brother is a great talent, why should I be willing to seek the near and far." ”

Chen Cao smiled, and asked Chen Tan what book he had read and what was the righteousness?

The three brothers, Chen Shang, Chen Mo, and Chen Tan, were all taught by Chen Xian himself, and they had a very good foundation in Confucianism, but they knew nothing about the current metaphysics; Calligraphy practice Han Li and Zhang Cao, the popular Jiangzuo Wang Xie Xingcao has not copied, knowledge is stuck in the Eastern Han Dynasty, if you participate in the assessment of the quality is very disadvantaged.

When he returned to Chenjiawu, Chen Caozhi lent Chen Mo and Chen Tan brothers a copy of the metaphysical works of Wang Bi and He Yan, as well as a large number of notes recorded when listening to Dr. Xu Zao's lectures in Xu's thatched cottage, and asked them to record a copy.

Chen Mo and Chen Tan looked at the thick stack of bound books, surprised and admired, Chen Tan said: "Sixteenth brother, this is all hand-copied by you in the past year, I'm afraid there are not millions of words, what did I copy?"

Chen Mo looked at the handwriting book, sighed: "Father often praises the sixteenth brother for his talent, although the sixteenth brother is talented, but this diligent study and hard reading is also very accessible, Brother Tan, from today on, the two of us copy 5,000 words a day, Han Li's writing is too slow, and Zhang Cao is not suitable for copying books, so he copies the sixteenth brother's line calligraphy, and asks the sixteenth brother for advice when the meaning of the scriptures is unclear. ”

Chen Mo is older than Chen Caozhi, and he can ask questions shamelessly, and Chen Tan is naturally even more speechless.

Since then, the east, west, and south buildings are full of books, only the north building Chen Man does not study, Chen Man just wants to be a rich Tian Jiaweng, the second son Chen Liu fell to such a point that Chen Man is very uncomfortable, he also knows that Chen Liu is self-inflicted, but he has no resentment against Chen Xian and Chen Caozhi in his heart.

Chen Caozhi reads every day, learns calligraphy, and figures out the character techniques in the "Wei's Six Laws" while painting, he wants to paint a picture of a lady for 6 Weirui, but he doesn't dare to start the pen, for fear that the brush in his hand will be clumsy and desecrate the beautiful image in his heart, so he first painted Ran Sheng and Jing Nu, figure painting, ugly is easy to paint and beautiful is difficult, this is why Wei Shi asked Chen Caozhi to learn to paint characters to learn to paint ghosts and gods first, at that time Gu Kaizhi was still on the side of the smile and said "It's easy to draw ghosts and it's difficult to draw people"

After turning on the lamp at night, Chen Caozhi always sat in front of his mother's bed for a while, talked with his mother, and played tunes to his mother.

Chen's mother Li likes to listen to two tunes, one is "Remembering the Old Man", and the other is Chen Caozhi's flute adapted from the kang qin song "Changqing" and "Short Qing". ”

Chen Caozhi thought for a while and said, "Mother, this song is called "Qinglian Song". ”

Chen's mother Li smiled and said: "Good, good, "Qinglian Song", for my mother's like." ”

Chen Caozhi sat for a while, and saw that his mother was asleep, so he quietly withdrew and went back to the study to study.

Xiaochan was waiting for Chen Cao's night reading on the side, and when she saw Chen Caozhi's eyebrows frowning like ink paintings, she asked, "What is Xiao Langjun worried about?" ”

Chen Caozhi said: "There is nothing else, I just feel that my relatives are getting less and less energetic, and I sit there and doze off during the day." ”

Xiaodao: "Yes, the old housewife is out of breath from the ground floor to the third floor, and Aunt Ying said that the old housewife always tosses and turns at night and can't sleep well." ”

Chen Caozhi was even more worried, and the next morning he went to take his mother's pulse, feeling that the pulse was weak, and he stuck to his mother's chest to listen to the heartbeat, the heart rhythm was irregular, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, the mother should have a heart disease, but there is no prescription for treating this heart disease in "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription", and heart disease is also a very difficult disease in the future of a thousand years

suddenly remembered the parting words of Master Ge before he went to Luofu Mountain in September last year, and asked him to stay in Chenjiawu after May this year and not go out again

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Caozhi was shocked, the meaning of Master Ge's words was not because of his mother's illness, Master Ge was a famous doctor in the world, if that was really the meaning, wouldn't it mean that his mother's illness could not be cured, otherwise why would Master Ge be stingy?

Chen's mother, Li, saw that her son's face had changed greatly, and hurriedly asked, "Ugly, what's wrong with you?" ”

Chen Caozhi settled down and said with a smile: "Mother, I'm nothing, but I suddenly remembered that the six-grade exemption hasn't come down yet, so I'm worried." ”

Chen's mother Li sighed and said with a smile: "Silly boy, you have only been back for a few days, didn't you say that you have to go to Jiankang to get it, and it will take more than a month to go back and forth." ”

Chen Caozhi saw that his mother had no other discomfort, so he was slightly relieved, and comforted himself in his heart: "I must have guessed the meaning of Master Ge's message, Master Ge will not mean this, and it is also common for people with irregular rhythms in old age to live, and I have seen a lot in my previous life." ”

Chen Caozhi went back to the study and wrote a letter to 6 Na 6 Taishou, talking about his mother's illness, and asking if Yang Quan, a famous doctor in Yangzhou, was still in Wu County? Whether it is in Wu County or has returned to Yangzhou, they all implore the 6 envoys to come forward and invite Yang Quan to come to Qiantang

After the letter was written, he sent it to De, and came to De to find Ran Sheng as a companion, and the two walked out in the afternoon of the same day.

On the afternoon of May 14, a healthy servant of Zhu Yingtai came to Chenjiawu and brought a letter from Zhu Yingtai.

"Yingtai Bai: Qian Tang farewell, only hear the sound of wood, do not hear the farewell song, so far thinking about Geng, recently Xie Gong Dongshan villa has silk embroidery, calligraphy collection, my brother Yingting will also attend, I am looking forward to the son of the heavy life to come, or there is a goodbye. Indeton. ”

Chen Caozhi's heart was pounding, but he shook his head again, and said to the Zhu servant: "I apologize to the two Zhu Langjun on my behalf, I have something at home and can't go to the meeting." ”

Zhu's servant was very anxious, and pleaded: "Chen Langjun must go, Huiji is not far from here, and it won't take two days to arrive." ”

Chen Caozhi shook his head regretfully, wrote a reply, and asked the servant to take it back and hand it to Zhu Yingtai.
