The mountain dwelling is long summer, quiet and quiet, the birds chirp in the morning and dusk, the most lasting, is the cicada song one after another, the more hot the daylight screams, the more energetic, and the behemoth generally sits at the foot of Jiuyao Mountain Chenjiawu round castle, silently swallowing the cool water vapor of Mingsheng Lake in the distance.

Because of the sound of Langlang's books, Chenjiawu Mansion also seems to have spirituality.

The sound of cicadas was boiling and suddenly silenced, the uncle and nephew of the Chen family in the west building were reading and practicing words in such a cicada song in the shadow of the sun, and the tall and tall teenager Ran Sheng was barely learning to read, and it was Run'er who was responsible for enlightening Ran Sheng, and it was ridiculous that Run'er still didn't know where to find a bamboo ruler, pointing to the words on the book to teach Ran Shengnian, Ran Shengnian was wrong, Run'er made a gesture to hit his palm, and he had the style of a strict teacher.

Being disciplined by a six-year-old girl, twelve-year-old Ran Sheng felt very ashamed, but he also knew how to respect teachers, and never dared to complain, but except for being in the study, he couldn't avoid it, and when he saw Run'er at other times, Ran Sheng was one word - hide.

June passed quickly, on the second day of the seventh month, Laifu came back from the county to find out the news, the order for the inspection of the nationality has been issued, the official of the county office from the third day of the first month of July to go to the county in batches to the settlement of the households, began to check the registration, the county lieutenant commanded 50 foot archers also strengthened the inspection of the roads, the homeless people without household registration were detained at the pavilion station, uniformly sent to the county, and then sent by the county according to their original place of origin to the overseas Chinese prefecture for resettlement, it is said that the entire inspection will continue until August.

Although Ge Xianweng interceded with Wang County, the Laifu family was still a little uneasy, for fear that one day a group of officials would rush in and bring his family to the county, it would be terrible, after all, his shady household was illegal, why didn't Ge Xianweng let Wang County Order give him Laifu family a household registration?

Ran Sheng and Uncle Jing were ready to run away and run to Huiji County, the counties of Huiji County were not examined, and the one-armed old man Jing Nu with a fierce face said to Chen's mother Li: "Mastermother, Jing Nu and Xiao Sheng will go to the neighboring county to avoid first, and then return to Chenjiawu in September, the two of us have been wandering in Jiangdong for five years, and have never met such a good master as Chen, I will definitely come back, and Xiao Sheng will continue to learn to read and write from Cao Zhi Xiaolangjun and Run'er Little Lady." ”

Although Ran Sheng was afraid of literacy, he didn't want to leave Chen Jiawu, he looked tall and strong, and he was infinitely strong, but after all, he was still a twelve-year-old child, and tears were about to fall.

Chen Caozhi said: "Why go to the neighboring county to hide!" I asked Master Ge a few days ago to ask Uncle Jing and Ran Sheng to go to the Chu Balcony Daoist Academy for temporary refuge, Ran Sheng helped Master Ge collect medicine and alchemy, just be diligent with your hands and feet, who dares to go up to the Chu Balcony to arrest you? ”

Jing Nu and Ran Sheng were overjoyed, immediately packed their bags, kowtowed to Chen's mother Li, and went to the first balcony Taoist courtyard with Chen Caozhi, Ge Hong saw it, and arranged for the two to stay, since discussing with Chen Caozhi the Jindan Weizhi in the book "Hug Puzi", when parting, Chen Caozhi borrowed Ge Hong's medical work eight volumes of "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription" back to copy, Ge Hong originally had a hundred volumes of "Jade Prescription" and "Golden Prescription", the volume is too voluminous, Ge Hong does not recommend Chen Caozhi's transcription and study, saying that it is too energy-consuming, Chen Caozhi does not plan to hang the pot to help the world, there are condensed eight volumes of " Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription is sufficient.

In the following days, Chen Jiawu was safe and sound, and the officials who did not see the inspection came to the door, and the Laifu family also settled down, and the so-called evaluation of the field grade was not mentioned again, until the sixth day of the seventh month, only two officials came to Chenjiawu, and the patriarch Chen Xian came forward to receive him, and took out the Qian Tang Chen family registration, and checked the population one by one.

The two officials were not arrogant at all, did not deliberately make things difficult, and they were not surprised when they saw the Yin Hu Laifu family annotated on the Chen family's household registration, obviously they were advised by Wang County's order.

Before, the Chen family in the West Building thought that the stormy July inspection had passed quietly, so easily that people couldn't believe it, suspecting that it was a dream, but it was the case.

……

Chen Liu has been staying in the county seat since he was expelled from the clan, and he didn't dare to show his face for a while at first, but recently he has relieved himself and has become a bully and horse under the door of the Lu master.

On the seventh night of the first month of July, Chen Liu went to visit Lu's mansion according to the order of the Lu master book, and sent a lot of gifts, but the Lu master book did not come out to see him for a long time, which made Chen Liu worried, and he thought about it and did not know where to offend the Lu master book, and he was frightened, and saw that the Lu master book accompanied a middle-aged man who applied powder and incense to come out of the inner hall, and the Lu master book was quite respectful.

Chen Liu hurriedly greeted him, and said with a sneer: "Master Lu, there is a distinguished guest——"

Master Lu nodded slightly, and said to the man who applied powder: "Jun Zhen, this is Chen Liu Chen Ziquan, who was just mentioned below." ”

The man who applied the powder incense was Zhen Wenqian, glanced at Chen Liu, and asked nonsense: "You are Chen Liu?" ”

Chen Liu bowed his waist and held his head high, and said humbly: "The next fool is Chen Liu, the word Ziquan." ”

Zhen Wenqian didn't look at Chen Liu, looked at the Pisces lamp on the wall of the hall, and asked, "I heard that you were expelled from Chenjiabao?" ”

Suddenly, Chen bled to the top door, not angry, but intense shame, his face was swollen purple and red, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Master Lu said: "Ziquan, sit down, Jun Yu has something to ask you." ”

Zhen Wenqian had a disgusted expression and said, "No need, those things Master Lu told him that is, and he said goodbye." ”

Master Lu sent Yu Wenqian back, sat down in front of Chen Liu, seemingly casual, but actually rude, and said, "Ziquan, do you know who that distinguished guest is?" ”

Chen Liu knew that it should be the person of Qian Tang Yu's family, and it was likely that he was the one who lost to Chen Caozhi in Dou Shu, but he said that he didn't know, so he asked Master Lu to make it clear.

The white and chubby Master Lu smiled proudly: "The disciple of the Qian Tang Yu clan is a close friend of me——"

Chen Liu naturally wanted to compliment him greatly, saying that the people who Qian Tang and the Lu family had made friends were all famous families, and the Lu family really had the style of a family.

Master Lu was very fluttering, but his face was solemn, and he asked, "Do you know what I want to call you for?" ”

Of course, Chen Liu didn't know, and asked cautiously.

Master Lu knew that the current Chen Liu had no family protection, so he could only take refuge in him with all his heart, and immediately did not hide it, and said that Chen Caozhi had offended Zhen Wenqian, saying that Zhen Wenqian was looking for an opportunity to frustrate Chen Caozhi, and asked Chen Liu what good plan he had?

Chen Liu then woke up to why Master Lu was bent on knocking Chen Caozhi off, it turned out that it was because of the Yu family, he couldn't help but be excited, but said: "Then Chen Caozhi has Ge Zhichuan to intercede for him, it seems that it is not good to find his land again——"

"Don't mention those things about the land now," Lu Zhushu interrupted: "Chen Caozhi is proud of his talent, and he must want to show off in September on the elegant gathering, in a vain attempt to gain fame and attract the attention of the central magistrates who came to visit the county-Chen Liu, you must understand that if Chen Caozhi can get an official and a half-position like his father and brother, then you will really be a dead end in Qiantang, so go into exile immediately." ”

Chen Liu was dripping with cold sweat, and his voice was dry: "Master Lu, if you have something to do, just tell me, Chen Liu, am no longer a disciple of the Qian Tang Chen family, and I will not scruple about anything." ”

Master Lu nodded and asked, "Then what other talents does Chen Caozhi have besides calligraphy and music?" ”

Chen Liu knew very little about Chen Caozhi, he only knew that Chen Caozhi was a wooden teenager in the past, and there was nothing else commendable except for honoring his widowed mother, but this time he suffered a big loss from Chen Caozhi in the ancestral hall, and he had to look at Chen Caozhi with admiration, thought about it, and said: "Chen Caozhi is quite good at remembering, and he can recite "Analects" and "Mao's Poems" at the age of ten. ”

Master Lu disagreed: "Rote memorization is not a talent, I am asking him what is the righteousness, can he explain Mao's poems and the Analects?" ”

Chen Liudao: "It should be half-understood, there are only a few books in the West Building, and his father and brother died early, no one taught him at all, relying on his own random endorsement, what kind of righteousness can he understand!" ”

Master Lu was quite satisfied with Chen Liu's answer, nodded again and again, but said: "But we still have to think of a perfect strategy, we must not let Chen Caozhi make a name for himself in the September Yaji, if it can make him swept away, then it would be the best." ”

……

The mediocre people are disturbed, the villains are reluctant, and they only know calculations and disputes all day long, how to feel the beauty of life?

At this time, Chen Jiabao, Chen Cao's family of four, as well as Yinggu, Xiaochan and Qingzhi, sat on the terrace on the third floor, and there were plums, grapes, and sweet cakes on the small case.

The sky is full of stars, the Milky Way wants to flow, Chen Caozhi told Zongzhi and Run'er the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, Xiaochan and Qingzhi listened to it freshly, and asked where did Xiaolangjun hear it, it's really interesting?

Chen Cao thought that the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl might not have spread at this time, so he said, "I saw it from Master Ge's collection. ”

Zongzhi and Run'er looked up with their little faces, their eyes wide and shining, looking for the morning glory and Vega-

Chen Caoyi pointed it out to them and taught them to recite:

"Morning Glory, Bright River Han Girl.

Slender hands, tie and tie the machine.

All day long, sobbing like rain.

The river is clear and shallow, how much is it different?

Yingying is in the water, and the pulse is silent. ”
