Volume 4 Insight XLVII
"On the afternoon of the 28th of the month of Canada. Chen Caozhi returned from the county, these days to visit Ben Er Youli, to deal with all kinds of banquets, the group is like a marquee, in Chenjiabao to stay less time, today finally relaxed, you can calm down to read the day before yesterday from the first balcony of the Taoist brought back a batch of books, these nearly 1,000 volumes of Tibetan Li Shouyi let Chen Caozhi bring back to Chenjiawu collection, this batch of books was copied by Ge Hong before the age of thirty, are a subset of the scriptures, is exactly what Chen Caozhi needs, Ge Hong is intoxicated with Jindan Avenue after middle age, transcribed and collected a large number of Taoist scriptures, such as "Xuanyuan Sutra", Nine Yin Sutra, "Three Corpses Collection" and the like, most of these Taoist scriptures were left in Luofu Mountain, after the death of Ge Hongxian, Li Shou took a small part of them back to the Chu Balcony, and there were hundreds of volumes
Of the nearly 1,000 volumes of books he brought back the day before yesterday, Chen Caozhi had borrowed them back to transcribe and preserve them. For example, "Huainan Honglie", "Lu's Spring and Autumn Period", etc., this year, Zong Zhi and Run'er have read all these books, and at this time they saw so many more books, all of them are happy to look at this little brother and sister, rubbing that one, sitting in the book city, although it is not easy to treasure the mountain
On the occasion of the two Jin Dynasty, paper books have not yet prevailed, a large part of the family collection is still bamboo slips or silk books, the preciousness of books can be imagined, the spread of books depends on hand-copying, it is difficult for the Hanmen Shu people to have a large number of books, which is also the social basis for the existence of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, because compared with the children of the family who have a good family inheritance and can read a wide range of books, if the poor students do not have amazing perseverance and guessed intelligence, they are always inferior in terms of knowledge. The more obvious the disadvantages are in the later stage, Chen Caozhi can stand out because of the insight of the soul of the two lives. It is also nourished by Ge Hong's book collection, coupled with hard work. This is a blockbuster as a student of the Shu nationality
Chen Caozhi did not think about the popularization of books such as engraving and printing books, movable type printing, and opening up the wisdom of the people, but after thinking about it again and again, he gave up, because he only knew the rough concept of the so-called engraving and movable type, and the specific details were not clear, which cost a lot to experiment, a book of 100,000 words is estimated to be printed without hundreds of thousands of money, and the engraving is very easy to wear, the plate making is difficult, and it will be scrapped after printing a few books, and it is difficult to make a profit. Another main reason made Chen Caozhi completely give up the idea of printing books, because if he did this, it would be tantamount to taking away the privileges of other scholars' poetry and rite heirlooms, and the popularization of books would first damage the interests of the scholars and shake the foundation of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, which was more intolerable to the family than Huan Wen's usurpation, and the fate of the Qiantang Chen family can be imagined
Historically, the emergence of engraving printing technology is used to print Buddhist scriptures, and that is more than 400 years later in the Tang Dynasty, in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the social basis for popularizing books has not yet been formed, rashly acting is not beneficial to the country, suitable enough to cause death, Chen Caozhi will not be so unwise, so he is still persistently copying books, accumulating a collection of books for the descendants of the Chen family, to his nephew's generation, the Qian Tang Chen family will also have a family heritage, at that time is the real family with a background.
The Chen clan of Chenjiawu is busy these days, not only busy for the New Year, but also busy for moving to a new house, the square dock fort "Laiyi Building" on the north side of the circular dock fort has been completed and decorated, the elders of the clan discussed moving over on the first day of the first month of the new year, and the old dock fort was left to the Chen family to live.
Chen Xian, Chen Man and other elders of the clan agreed that "Laiyi Building" is still divided into four major districts, east, west, north and south, and the west area is the largest, with three independent courtyards and nearly 100 houses, which can accommodate more than 100 people. There is no objection to the east, south and north floors, the Chen clan understands that the Qian Tang Chen clan can have today's prosperity, mainly thanks to Chen Caozhi, after last month's land occupation case, the Chen clan people understand this better, and they also understand that the family must be united, and their new homes in the "Laiyi Building" are several times more spacious than the original, where will there be dissatisfaction!
Chen Caozhi didn't care about the move, he was comfortable in the study on the third floor, and the tower-like Ran Sheng also watched "Zuo's Spring and Autumn" quietly, this is what Chen Caozhi asked him to watch, there are many classic war examples in "Zuo's Spring and Autumn", which must be helpful to Ran Sheng
Chen Fu and Chen Tan brothers came to the West Building to ask the sixteenth brother Chen Caozhi for advice, seeing Ran Sheng reading intently, seeing him coming, he just nodded his head and read hard, Chen Tan sat down next to Run'er, and laughed in a low voice: "Run'er is really good at teaching, and now Xiaosheng can be called gentle and courteous." ”
Run'er's big bright eyes flickered, smiled, and said: "This is not taught by Run'er, it was Uncle Ugly who taught Uncle Fang Xiaosheng to follow Uncle Ugly to Jiankang, and in less than a year, it seems that he has changed as a person, which really makes Run'er strange." ”
Ran Sheng heard Run'er talk about him, raised his eyes to look at Run'er, and smiled sincerely, which means that he has not changed, he is still Ran Sheng, but he heard Chen Tan say: Xiao Sheng is now Run'er's uncle, does Run'er still call him Xiao Sheng? ”
Run'er pursed her lips and looked at Ran Sheng with some annoyance, obviously reluctant to call Ran Sheng her uncle.
Ran Sheng hurriedly said: "I'm a distant house of the Chen family, a far away house, Run'er still calls me Xiao Sheng, okay?" ”
Run'er said to Ran Sheng: "Xiao Sheng, this is what you asked, don't blame Run'er for being rude, saying, peeking at Chen Caozhi, seeing what Uncle Ugly's face is, will you blame her?"
Chen Caozhi smiled and took care of himself to solve Chen Fu's doubts.
Xiaochan came over and said, "Xiao Langjun, the lady asked Xiao Langjun to discuss things in Heming Hall."
Chen Caozhi got up and followed Xiaochan to Heming Hall, Heming Hall is on the westernmost end of the third floor, the hall is dedicated to the Heavenly Master Taoist ancestor Lao Tan and heaven, earth, water "three officials" Chen Mu Li when he was alive, every morning and evening to go to Heming Hall to recite "Lao Tzu Five Thousand Texts", now Ding Youwei also often goes to Heming Hall to meditate and chant
Xiaochan was bitten by a vicious dog for more than ten days, the wound on the calf has healed, although the back of the left hand is bitten deeply, but it has also been scarred, and there is no other strange feeling in the wound, the most dangerous first seven days have been passed safely, according to Ge Hong, it will take 100 days before it can be considered a big relief, so Chen Cao's order Xiaochan insisted on decocting purple bamboo root soup, vegetarian, non-fishy meat food
Ding Youwei sat on the futon, beautiful as a lotus, although it was a winter coat, she was not bloated at all, her eyes were calm and kind, and she motioned for Chen Caozhi to sit down on the futon in front of her, and said to Xiaochan and Ah Xiu beside her: "You two go out first, and I will talk to Xiaolang about something important." ”
Xiaochan and Ah Xiu withdrew from the Heming Hall, and it was close to dusk, and the Heming Hall was a little darker.
Chen Caozhi didn't know what his sister-in-law Ding Youwei was going to say to him, so he waited respectfully for a while, but Ding Youwei didn't speak, seemed to hesitate, and said, "Surname, what's the matter?" ”
Ding Youwei exhaled lightly and said, "Ah Tan is going to get married."
Chen Caozhi smiled and said, "Very good, there are two Ding girls who have married into our Chen family." ”
Ding You smiled slightly, and said: "My uncle really wants to marry the seventh sister to you, my seventh sister is also a good woman with good looks, of course, compared with Wei Rui, it is inferior, these have Wei Rui Xiaolang's vision is high, where will other women enter your eyes." ”
Ding Youwei seems to be upset for her sister-in-law, but Chen Caozhi knows that her sister-in-law never means this, her sister-in-law should be more fond of Wei Rui than her sister-in-law, and her sister-in-law is anxious about his marriage with Wei Rui.
Ding Youwei continued: "Life in the world, like a white horse passing through a gap, suddenly, Aunt Xie has been dead for more than three years, Aunt is most concerned about Xiaolang's marriage Ah Xiaolang, now my sister-in-law is anxious for you, you will be twenty years old in the New Year."
Chen Caozhi couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, it seemed that marrying Wei Rui was much more difficult than he had originally estimated, and said: "Prostitutes, don't worry too much about this matter, I will definitely have a way." ”
Ding Youwei once imagined the possibility of marrying Wei Rui for Xiaolang, but he always felt that it was difficult and almost couldn't see hope, so he immediately asked: "Tell the prostitute where Xiaolang's confidence is?" ”
Sister-in-law is the most intimate person, Chen Caozhi has nothing to hide, thought about it, and said: "Sister-in-law, the main thing who opposes me marrying Wei Rui is Wei Rui's uncle 6 Shi, and the son of 6 Shi 6 Yu and 6 Fowl, 6 aunts and fathers are stupid and unknown, and Huan Da Sima is not on good terms, I expect that 6 Shi will be defeated, so I will have the opportunity to marry Wei Rui."
Ding Youwei asked: "Does Xiaolang want to take advantage of the momentum of Huan Da Sima to attack 6 Shi?" ”
Chen Caozhi was asked by the prostitute, and suddenly felt that his intentions were a little wrong, and said: "Sister-in-law, I won't fan the flames and deliberately deal with 6 Shi, but some things will inevitably happen, 6 Shi thinks that Huan Da Sima has harmed the interests of the Jiangdong Shi clan, and he is often resentful, and 6 Shi is even more dissatisfied with this land break, and obstructs it in every possible way, where will Huan Da Sima not know about it?" And I expect that the confrontation between 6 Shi and Huan Da Sima will be more intense, and it is not surprising that 6 Shi will be excluded. ”
Ding You pursed his lips slightly and frowned for a long time, and said: Xiaolang, if possible, you should still help the 6 clan, benevolence and generosity are more convincing, otherwise, you know that 6 will be defeated, but you are silent, and you will inevitably have a bad feeling in the face of Wei Rui in the future
The corners of Chen Caozhi's forehead sweated, and he said respectfully: "My sister-in-law's teachings are true, and Cao Zhi remembers." ”
Ding Youwei saw Chen Caozhi's sweaty appearance, and smiled: "Of course, sister-in-law is not for you to be the pedantic person who blindly wants to practice benevolence and righteousness without distinguishing between good and evil, but suffers losses yourself
Chen Caozhi smiled and said, "Yes." But I heard my sister-in-law Ding Youwei's next sentence: "Okay, now let's talk about Zhu Yingtai and Zhu Langjun, who is she?"
Sister-in-law is so good, beautiful and virtuous, at the end of the month, there is a monthly pass to support the trail, such a sister-in-law image starting point is only one.
