Cao Zhi knows Zhu Yingtai's kindness, participating in Xie An's Dongshan Yaji is a great opportunity for him to Bo, if the Qiantang Chen family wants to be among the scholars, there must be outstanding children in the family, and there must be a broad communication, how can it be limited to the township and county!

~ I don't agree with Chen Caozhi personally going to Jiankang to see Jia Lingshi, just to Chen Caozhi to accumulate prestige, first become a celebrity and then enter the official career, with Xie An as a model.

Xie An is less prestigious, as far as Xianbei Murong Chui, up to Wang Dao below, all praise Xie An, Huan Wen's father Huan Yi called Xie An "Fengshen Xiu Che", Xie An had been a writer in his early years, only a month, he resigned from illness, and then lived in seclusion in Dongshan for more than ten years, Xie Shang, Xie Yi, Xie An and Xie Wan (~ Xie Shi, the main general of the water war, was not famous at this time), Xie An lived behind the scenes, with the education of his children and nephews as his business, Xie's young generation is full of talents, and Xie An's words and deeds are inseparable, Yongxu Xie Daoyun is the first lady in Jiangzuo, and the four talents of "Feng Hu Mo" - Xie Shao, Xie Lang, Xie Yan, and Xie Xuan are the young generations of the Beilai Shi clan.

Seclusion is not in the deep mountains and old forests silently, but to make friends, to often participate in a variety of elegant gatherings, although seclusion, but to have anecdotes from time to time, can not let the world forget, this is the hope, Zhu Yingtai invited Chen Caozhi to participate in Xie An's Dongshan silk and bamboo, calligraphy collection is an excellent way to raise hope, Xie An calligraphy and Wang Xizhi are equally famous, and excellent rhythm, living in Dongshan for ten years, sheng songs endlessly, with Xie An's love and elegance, with Chen Caozhi's music rhythm and calligraphy, will be appreciated by Xie An, but also to meet Xie brothers and Wang brothers -

Chen Caozhi expected that Xie An held this gathering for Wang Ningzhi and Wang Huizhi's brothers, and there should be many celebrities and children of the family to participate, but he really couldn't leave Chen Jiawu, his mother was indeed getting older, and Master Ge's parting words weighed heavily on his heart, where could he go to Huiji to play the flute and wave it, he just wanted to be with his mother, and he didn't want to think about anything else, there was nothing more important in this world than blood relatives, he couldn't take care of his relatives, all the fame outside his body was meaningless, and now, he just wanted to accompany his mother.

Chen's mother, Li, learned that Zhu Langjun, who had been here a few days ago, had come to invite Chen Caozhi to attend the Yaji, so she asked: "Chou'er, Zhu Langjun is your friend, and he specially sent someone to invite you to go, why did he refuse people's kindness?" ”

Chen Caozhi naturally couldn't say that he was worried about his mother's body, and said: "Mother, my son has been running outside for most of the year since September last year, and he only returned home at the end of last month. ”

Chen's mother, Li, heard her son say that she was tired, so she said: "It's hard for my son to go out to study, so let's rest, but I just snubbed the enthusiasm of Zhu Langjun." ”

Chen Caozhi said: "My son has already repaired the book to explain to Zhu Langjun that Zhu Langjun is my confidant and will not blame me." ”

Chen's mother Li nodded, watched the sunlight shine in through the window lattice, and said, "Ugly, accompany my mother to walk outside the dock fort, staying upstairs is a little boring." ”

Chen Caozhi saw that his mother was so interested. I was very pleased. So he took his mother and slowly went downstairs. Walk to the dock gate. Chen's mother, Li, stood still. Panting slightly. Look at the road to Qiantang Land. said: "When Chou'er was in Wu County. Mother misses you. will stand here. I wonder if you're going to suddenly come across the road—"

Chen Caozhi held his mother's left arm. smiled: "Isn't my son by my mother's side now?" ”

Chen's mother, Li, suddenly laughed. said: "Mother remembered something. Your dad had been in the county for a few years. Xiu Mu will rush back to Chenjiawu in the evening of the day before the day. Chou'er was still young at the time. Smaller than Run'er. Just able to speak. Mother led you here and waited for your father to come back. Sometimes it's a long wait. Watch your daddy's bullock cart emerge from the other side of the road. Mother will hurry up and hug you to meet you-"

It's a very common thing. But my mother was interested. Chen Caozhi felt uneasy for no reason.

Chen's mother, Li Shi, said: "Today is May 14. That's right. Where has Ran Sheng been in the past two days? Why didn't you see it? ”

Chen Caozhi said: "Er sent Laide and Ran Sheng to Wu County to ask about the matter." ”

Chen's mother Li smiled: "My son is still impatient." ”

Xiaochan came over at this time to give a salute to the old housewife and Cao Zhi Xiaolangjun, and said: "Mastermother, Uncle Laifu told me earlier that there is a tenant surnamed He who suffers from leg swelling and smelts a lot of money, and if He tenant pays the field rent after the summer wheat is harvested this year, I am afraid that the family will not be able to cook, because He tenant has mortgaged the summer wheat harvest to borrow money to treat the disease. ”

Chen's mother Li has little energy and has no intention of taking care of things, now Xiaochan helps her take care of it, and she reports to Xiaochan first when she has something to do, and Xiaochan feels that it is necessary to let the old housewife take the idea of something to report to Chen's mother Li

Chen's mother, Li, asked, "How much land did the tenants rent from us, and how much rent did they pay?" ”

Xiaochan said: "He tenants, father and son, rented a total of 120 acres of mountain fields, and the rent per mu was 180 liters of wheat at a summer price, and 21,600 liters of wheat had to be paid. ”

One liter of weights and measures in the Eastern Jin Dynasty is equivalent to 250 milliliters of land in later generations, one catty is 350 grams, and one liter of wheat is about 180 grams, and the 120 acres rented by He tenants have to pay 8,000 catties of wheat as rent every year.

Chen's mother, Li, asked again: "Has He tenant recovered from his illness?" ”

Xiaochan said: "I heard Laifu say that it is better, but it has not healed yet." ”

Chen's mother Li said: "Then halve, let Laifu visit tomorrow, send ten catties of tea oil, and if the days are still difficult, then reduce some wheat rent." ”

Xiaochan said: "The housewife is so kind, the tenants who rent our Chenjiawu fields have all entrusted the blessings of the housemother." ”

Chen's mother Li said: "The Heavenly Master pays attention to building bridges and paving roads to do good, and the Buddha also wants the believers to have compassion. ”

Chen Caozhi looked at his mother's kind face, and his hair was white and pale gold under the sunset, and he thought: "Mother will accompany me for a long time, I will see the Qiantang Chen clan of the Listed Scholars, and I will see Wei Rui and I worship under her old man's knees——"

……

On May 16, a person who claimed to be from Huiji Qiguang Temple came to Chen Jiawu and asked to see Chen Caozhi's Chen Tanyue.

Chen Caozhi went downstairs to see that line, and said: "Huiji Qiguang Temple, the presiding servant of Master Zhidu, Lingyou, visited Chen Tanyue, and on the order of my teacher, I came to invite Chen Tanyue to go to Qiguang Temple to exchange Buddhism. As he spoke, he presented a letter of support and pasted one.

Huiji Qiguang Temple and Wujun Tongxuan Temple, Jiankang Waguan Temple, Longgong Temple, and called the four famous temples in Jiangdong, Chen Cao heard ~ mentioned last time, Qiguang Temple presided over the branch master is a friend of the other side, with "heart unintentional" to explain the "Prajna emptiness", the fusion of interpretation and metaphysics, in Jiangdong is the most famous Buddhist master in addition to the branch Daolin -

~ In Chen Caozhi's here to learn the Mahayana Buddhism's so-called eternal and unchanging supreme truth and the ontology of all things "true", at that time he said that when he went to invite Xie An out of the mountain, he would visit Qiguang Temple by the way, and argue with the old monk of Zhidu, which will make the old monk dumbfounded and admired, and now Zhidu sent a waiter to invite Chen Caozhi to meet, naturally because ~ Chen Caozhi was mentioned in front of Zhidu, otherwise, how would Zhidu know that Qian Tang had a Chen Caozhi!

Chen Caozhi read Zhidu's book sticker, that is, invited him to Qiguang Temple for a meeting, and asked: "~ Has you left Huiji to join the army?" ”

Shi Lingyou was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Lingyou doesn't know if ~ joined the army or left Huiji, ~ joined the army and came to Qiguang Temple to discuss Buddhism with my teacher on the 21st of last month. ”

Chen Caozhi said: "The annoying servant is transferred to the master of the branch, the mother is not in good health, and Cao Zhi can't go to see the master for the time being, and he will definitely report to the master in person in the future." So he went to the study and wrote a reply note for the waiter to take back.

Chen's mother Li heard that the Qiguang Temple came to the place name monk, hurry to see, the Eastern Jin Dynasty Qiguang Temple can be much more famous than the Mingsheng Lakeside Lingyin Temple, Chen's mother Li learned that it was the abbot of the Qiguang Temple to invite Chen Caozhi to meet, immediately ordered Chen Cao to go.

It is difficult to disobey his mother's life, but Chen Caozhi really doesn't feel at ease to leave his mother's side, so he has to wait for Yang Quan, a famous doctor in Yangzhou, to diagnose and treat his mother, and make sure that his mother is in good health, so he can go to Huiji, but his mother thinks that Master Zhidu is called, and if he doesn't go, it will be a sin, which makes Chen Caozhi very embarrassed, and he looks at Lingyou for help.

Shi Lingyou also saw that Chen's mother Li was not in good health, her face was yellowish, and her lips and nose were slightly purple, which was a symptom of heart disease, so he asked Chen Caozhi to take a step to speak, and said: "Chen Tanyue, my master is proficient in Buddhism, and he is also good at the way of Huang, has Chen Tanyue never heard of it?" ”

Chen Cao's heart was happy, many ancient monks were proficient in medicine, and this is also the most convenient way to remove suffering for sentient beings, so he said: "I'm ashamed, I don't know, then I will go with the attendant to visit the master, and ask the master to come and treat my mother." ”

Shi Lingyou said: "My teacher is sixty this year, and his skills are not inferior to those of young people, and he often enters Dongshan to travel from Xie Anshi, and he talks about it every day, and he is tired, but he has not come to the door to treat people, and he has to go to the temple in person to seek medical treatment." ”

Chen Caozhi: "My mother is weak-minded, she can't sit in a car, and she can't travel far, which is really difficult. ”

Shi Lingyou said: "Lingyou is here, my master told me to be sure to invite Chen Tanyue to Qiguang Temple, it seems that my master values Chen Tanyue very much, if Chen Tanyue is kind to ask for words, my teacher will definitely make an exception to come here to treat the disease." ”

Chen Caozhi immediately decided to leave for Huijiqiguang Temple immediately, and told Xiaochan Haosheng to take care of his mother, and he would definitely come back within five days.
