And on this year's birthday, Chen Caozhi escorted his mother's coffin out of the suburbs, his mother has been buried in the ground, and the mother who was worried about his birthday and prepared winter clothes for him early is no more.

There are only some low shrubs around the grave of Chen's mother, Li, Chen Caozhi spends an hour cleaning these shrubs and weeds every day, and on the second day, he goes to the Jiuyao Mountain to look for pine and cypress seedlings and transplant them to the graves of his parents and brother.

Chen Caozhi maintained his previous habits in Chenjiawu, reviewing Confucian classics, practicing calligraphy and painting in the morning, studying Lao Zhuang's metaphysics in the afternoon, taking reading notes, writing speculative articles, and reading or copying books at night

Mourning and filial piety do not stick to the grass shed and do not leave an inch, but can not go out to spend the night in other places, so every half a month, Chen Caozhi let Laide stay, he took Ran Sheng to the Baobao Mountain Chu Balcony Taoist Institute to borrow Ge Shi's collection of books, this era, the collection of ten thousand volumes of books is a treasure trove, Ge Shi's knowledge is like a sea, collected, hand-copied books are also all-inclusive, Confucianism and Taoism books needless to say, the rest of the astronomy and geography, medicine and astrology are everywhere, Chen Caozhi saw that there are two military books "Wei Yizi" and "Sun Tzu", and also took it back, Hand-copied a copy of Ran Sheng's daily reading of these two books, Ran Sheng prefers the Analects, does not like Mao's poems, and is not interested in these two military books, but Cao Zhi Xiaolangjun wants to teach him to read, and he just reads it.

Liu Shangzhi would go to Jade Emperor Mountain every three or five days, and he would discuss with Chen Caozhi about the difficulties of scripture and calligraphy in the spring and autumn periods, and he would also come twice a month, and sometimes he would go to the Chutai Taoist Academy to borrow books together.

Every three days, Ding Wei and Xiaochan will take Zongzhi and Run'er to the cemetery grass shed to get together with Chen Caozhi, come in the morning and go back in the evening, let Chen Caozhi teach the two children Jingyi and calligraphy, clean up the cemetery together, plant trees and flowers, the two children are very attached to Uncle Ugly to visit Uncle Ugly in Jade Emperor Mountain than before to visit Ding's villa to visit their mothers, which makes the little brother and sister excited.

Youwei returned to Chenjiawu, Xiaochan handed over the cage key and the book to Ding Youwei who was handed over to Ding Youwei by the old housemother, Ding Youwei couldn't understand the Arabic numerals in the account book, Xiaochan smiled: "The lady doesn't know, this is the original accounting method and fundraising algorithm created by Xiaolangjun, which is very simple, Zongzhi and Run'er have learned." ”

Runbian said: "Is it good for my mother to teach my mother?" ”

Ding Youwei listened to her seven-year-old daughter's crisp and rational voice teach her Arabic numerals and columnar calculations. I was so happy.

Zongzhi took the goose pen. said that this is also the place where Uncle Ugly created. It is very convenient for bookkeeping.

Ding Youwei gave it a try. Sure enough, he smiled and said, "You ugly uncle." What a brilliant man. He said to Xiaodao: "You are still in charge of the smaller account books and field books." I know the income and expenditure of large parcels, I can do it, you are a caring person. ”

Xiaochan's goose egg face was red with shame and said: "The lady makes fun of Xiaochan." ”

Ding Youwei said: "I know what you are thinking about." Yinggu and Zeng Yuhuan told me that when my aunt was alive, she said local words and Qingzhi local affairs, and I will be the master of the two of you. But this will have to wait for Xiaolang to remove the service. ”

Ding Youwei takes care of housework every day, accompanies lovely children, and often feels warm and sweet, but when he thinks of his aunt and Qingzhi, he feels sad, but compared with the days when he was like a caged bird in the courtyard of Ding's villa, Ding Youwei is really comfortable in Chenjiawu, and because he often walks back and forth between Chenjiawu and Yuhuang Mountain, his body is also much healthier, after all, he is still young, and he is only twenty-seven years old this year.

On the fifth day of the lunar month, more than a month after the burial of Chen's mother Li, Chen Shang returned from Jiankang, first went to visit his parents, and then came to the West Building to meet his sister-in-law Ding Youwei, who is now the young mother of the West Building.

Zhou Li stipulates that men should serve the filial piety of small merits for their uncles and parents, Chen Shang changed into more fine cooked linen clothes, and after meeting his sister-in-law Ding Youwei, he saw that the time was still early, and before the time passed, he went to Yuhuang Mountain to pay tribute to the seventh uncle and aunt, and also had a long talk with the sixteenth brother Chen Caozhi, and his father Chen Xian also went with him.

On this day, the north wind is howling, the clouds are dense, and as far as the eye can see, the mountains are cold and the water is thin, and the weather seems to be snowing heavily.

Ran Sheng is playing with a bow in front of the mountain, this bow is made by Jing Nu and Laide together, Laide is skillful, according to Jing Nu's guidance, starting from midsummer May, it took half a year to make a six-foot hard bow with mulberry wood, horns, cow tendons, silk and soil paint, Laide's strength is not small, and he can't bend the bow full string, and Ran Sheng can hold the bow like a full moon as soon as he gets started.

Jing Nu said: "This bow is not good, it is too hasty, it will be available, Xiao Sheng is practicing first, if there is a beast attacking at night, it can be prevented."

Twelve three-foot-long arrows were made, three edges and three wings, the iron cluster was made by the blacksmith in the county, the tail feathers were the hard feathers of the duck, Ran Sheng loved this bow and arrow like a treasure, practiced in front of the mountain every day, the arm strength was outstanding, the eyesight was also outstanding, the bow and arrow were only three days, and the trunk of the tree outside fifteen zhang was shot seven out of ten, Ran Sheng was born with martial arts, almost without learning and can.

Seeing Chen Xian, Chen Shang's father and son, Ran Sheng said happily: "The patriarch is good, Nanlou San Langjun is good, San Lang Jun has come back from Jiankang, it's great." "Like a leopard, he ran halfway up the mountain to report the news.

Chen Caozhi was writing "Ming Shenghu Xuanji", and Ran Sheng reported the news, and hurriedly greeted him, first accompanied the third brother Chen Shang to his mother's tomb to worship, and then sat down in the grass shed, and ordered Laide to quickly build a pot of charcoal fire to ward off the cold for the fourth uncle and the third brother.

The old patriarch Chen Xian looked at this Xiao Ran grass hut and said: ", you are filial piety for your mother, but you must take care of your body, the Chen family in the West Building is currently two generations of single transmission, you are my Qian Tang Chen family's hope, why don't you make a fire to keep warm on such a cold day?" ”

Chen Caozhi said: "The fourth uncle is trained to be, and the little nephew knows to take care." ”

The old patriarch Chen Xian went to sit on the grass and roast the fire, and said to Chen Shang: "Shang'er, you tell your sixteenth brother about the affairs of Beijing. ”

Chen Caozhi saw that the fourth father looked dazed, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seems that Qian Tang Chen's entry into the scholar is really hopeless, but looking at Chen Shang's face, although he has been on the road for 20 days, he is quite tired at this time, but when it comes to the fact that the authentic products of the eighteen states are evaluated as the six surnames of the Hanmen, he is still in good spirits, and said: "Sima Dasitu is not allowed to withdraw from the assessment of Qian Tang Chen, and the sixteenth brother has a reputation for pure filial piety, although he has not arrived in Jiankang, but calligraphy and articles have arrived in Jiankang, and he can participate in the evaluation with that "Ming Shenghu Treatise on Xuan", These three metaphysical treatises of the sixteenth brother were greatly appreciated by the nine great zhongzheng in the eighteen states held on the fifth day of the first month of October, but because they did not see the face of the sixteenth brother, they could not ask them face-to-face, so whether this article was made by the sixteenth brother still exists, saying that the sixteenth brother should be summoned to Beijing for a face-to-face assessment, and the capital did not know that the seventh uncle and mother had passed away on the eighth day of October."

Shang mourned for a moment, and then said: "I know that the sixteenth brother can't come, thinking that this time the entry into the scholar is hopeless, I said goodbye to Jia Lingshi, packed up and prepared to return to my hometown, but on October 11, Xie Xuan Xie Youdu, who is as famous as Wang Xianzhi and has the reputation of 'Xie Jiayushu', came to Jiankang and met with Da Situ, praised the sixteenth brother as a genius in the world, and said that he was a classmate with the sixteenth brother in Wu County at the beginning of the year, and Xie Anshi, who had already come to Jiankang, said a sentence for the sixteenth brother Fresh and gratifying', Xie Anshi's fame, although Xie Wanshi was demoted to a concubine because of the failure of the Northern Expedition, but Xie Anshi's prestige has not diminished at all, and it is said that Anshi is out of the mountain, and the common people are lucky, and Xie Anshi is rewarded with a word, and the sixteenth brother's "A Volume of Ice and Snow Text" has become popular in Jiankang.

Chen Zhi floated a tall shadow in his heart, with or without powder, his eyes were slender and charming, his lips moved slightly when he was talking about difficulties, and his sharp words kept saying thank you, which would help him.

Chen Shang said, took out a letter from his arms, and handed it to Chen Zhidao: "Sixteenth brother, this is Xie Youdu's cousin Zhu Yingtai sent someone to give me, it was handed over before I left Beijing on the fifteenth day of last month, it is a letter to you, this Zhu Yingtai and his cousin Xie Xuan are classmates with the sixteenth brother in Wu County, right?" ”

Chen Caozhi looked at the fat-sealed letter, which was covered by the familiar handwriting of Xie Dao, so he held it in his arms and asked Chen Shang: "In this case, what happened to my Qian Tang Chen's naturalization?" ”

Chen Shangdao: "It can only be said that it is very promising, but it still can't be decided for a while, not only my Chen family, but even the Runan Mei family, Langya Sun family, Yang Zheng family, Zhucheng Liu family, Fan Yang Lu family have not been determined, this cold door into the scholar is a matter that shakes the government and the opposition, Situ Mansion convened Zuo Min Shangshu, the major Zhongzheng to discuss several times undecided, because Xie Wanshi was defeated, Xuchang, Yingchuan, Pei Zhucheng fell into Yan one after another, so the matter of the six surnames to enter the scholar will be delayed until the next year, after next year, I want to go to Jiankang again. ”

Chen Caozhi said: "The third brother is really hard, the younger brother can't share the labor, and he is ashamed." ”

Chen Shangdao: "The sixteenth brother is filial piety to his mother, and the foolish brother should run around more, my father still has something to say to you, I'll go out first." "Call Ran Sheng and Laide out together and go to the grass hut next door.

Chen Caozhi saw that the fourth uncle Chen Xian looked solemn, so he sat solemnly and waited for the fourth uncle to ask.

The old patriarch Chen Xian was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: ", there are rumors that you have an affair with the daughter of 6 Na, and my uncle wants to hear what you have to say?" ”

Chen Caozhi said: "Paper can't hold the fire, I and Wei Rui will eventually be known by outsiders, without the orders of parents and matchmakers, all the feelings of men and women must be regarded as private feelings, so strong pressure is coming?" ”

There is still a distance from the top three of the classified monthly passes, the trail is more today, take a break, think about the next plot, maybe the storm is coming.
