Of course, it is not completely without guests staying in the Chen family, and some guests who are particularly close to the Chen family and have an extraordinary identity are still invited into the inner hall by the Chen family.

Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong certainly belonged to such extraordinary guests, and when they appeared in the mourning hall, all of Chen Yu's children and grandchildren were shocked.

What are the identities of Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong? Although they have no official status now, but in the academic world, they can be called the Taishan Beidou of the Han Dynasty, especially after Chen Yu's death, there are few people who can compare with Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong in academic status.

Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong came together, and they both wore filial piety, which was a great respect for the Chen family, and it was naturally a very trivial thing.

At that moment, the children and grandchildren of the Chen family were led by Chen Ji, the eldest son of Chen Yu, and they all greeted him.

Chen Ji is the same age as Zheng Xuan, and now he is also a sixty-year-old man, and he is also one of the few people who can be compared with Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong in terms of academic status.

Zheng Xuan, Cai Yong, Chen Ji and others saw each other and said mourning, but it was okay not to mourn, and this time Chen Ji was mourning and crying again.

It stands to reason that Chen Ji himself is also a sixty-year-old man, and Chen Yu is eighty-four years old, dying at such an age, it is called Bai Xi in many places, Chen Ji should not be so sad, but Chen Ji is filial by nature, and his relationship with his father is very deep, and he still can't accept this fact.

In fact, Chen Yu's health at home has always been very good, the last time Wang Heng came to visit him, he was clear thinking, quick mind, and his body was also very tough, he could eat a big bowl of rice at a time, on the first day of his death, he still ate a lot of food and went to rest as usual, but the next morning, when Chen Ji went to greet his father, he found that his father had passed away suddenly!

Chen Yu died very peacefully, and he was at the end of his life, but Chen Ji always couldn't suppress the grief in his heart, and when he saw the closer guests coming, he always had to cry for a while.

Seeing that Chen Ji was crying too much, and he had obviously been crying for several days, his diet and daily life were irregular, and his body could no longer support it, seeing that his body was a little shaky, Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong hurriedly comforted him, and Chen Ji's son Chen Qun helped his father down.

Zheng Xuan, Cai Yong took Wang Heng and other juniors to kneel in front of Chen Yuling, and sent the cloth quilts and other things they brought, and then they withdrew from the mourning hall, and Chen Yu's other sons let a few people into the inner hall to rest.

In the inner hall, there were already many people sitting, and when they saw Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong coming in, they stood up together to greet Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong.

Among these people, Wang Heng also knows a lot, Xun Shuang, Xun Yan, Xun Chen, Xun Yu, Liu Yan, Yuan Shao, Chen Lin, Zhong Xuan, Xin Ping, Xin Bi, Guo Tu and others are among them, and there are some people Wang Heng doesn't know, but they all seem to be extraordinary, and they are obviously extraordinary characters.

The reason why so many people came to the Xun family is also because the Xun and Chen families are in-laws, and Chen Yu's wife is the Xun family.

And the reason why Xin Ping, Xin Bi, Guo Tu and others can sit in the inner hall is also because the Chen family also has an in-law relationship with their clan, Chen Yu has eight sons, and several daughters, Chen Yu is also a person who is very good at taking advantage of the situation, after he has a reputation, he naturally marries these Yingchuan clans widely.

It was also Chen Yu's move that made the Chen family spread out and officially entered the ranks of the Yingchuan family.

Chen Yu's fourth son, Chen Chen, is very famous, and he stepped forward to introduce the identities of everyone in the hall to Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong one by one.

Among these people, there are Shaofu Yang Biao, Yingchuan celebrity Han Rong, Beihai celebrity Kong Rong, Xun Yu's brother Xun Qi, Xun Yu's nephew Huangmen Shilang Xun You, Yuan Shao's uncle Yuan Kui and younger brother Yuan Shu, etc., plus those people Wang Heng knows, this lineup here is amazing enough.

Yuan Shao and Chen Lin were on behalf of the general He Jin to pay tribute to Chen Yu and deliver a eulogy, and he said: "Mr. Chen Junwen Fan, Mr. Cheng is in the front, and the voice is in the back. ”

This eulogy is from Chen Lin's handwriting, He Jin gave Chen Yu a nickname "Wenfan", and gave Chen Yu a very high evaluation, which is also a relatively official evaluation, and Chen Yu's life is a final conclusion.

After everyone welcomed Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong into the inner hall, they recommended Cai Yong to write the inscription for Chen Yu, Cai Yong is the first resignation of everyone in this dynasty, even if Kong Rong and Chen Lin are famous for their resignation, they can only bow down in front of Cai Yong, and they are willing to recommend Cai Yong to write the inscription.

Cai Yong doesn't know how many people have written inscriptions for this life, almost every inscription he wrote is a famous article, and he can also write according to different inscriptions, the writing or bone or clear, the language or elegant or gentle, the narrative is simple and concise, the lyrical writing is brilliant, and the love words are rich, although there are many inscriptions, none of them are the same.

This is also the reason why countless people have asked Cai Yong to write the inscription, today since Cai Yong is present, this matter is none other than him, Cai Yong is very familiar with Chen Yu's life, and it is easy to write this inscription.

Cai Yong did not prevaricate, he picked up the brush prepared by Chen Chen, pondered for a while, then dipped himself in thick ink, and began to write on the paved white paper.

Everyone watched Cai Yong write with bated breath, only to see him write a dragon and snake, but in a moment, he had already written an inscription, sprinkled hundreds of words.

Kong Rong, who was watching on the side, shook his head and read out the inscription: "Mr. is obscure, the word Zhonggong, Yingchuan Xu Renye." It contains the sum of the essence of the yuan, the number of due luck, and the nine virtues...... and the document forgiveness, at the age of seventy, then hidden hills and mountains, hanging the car to tell the old...... The general's hanging shrine, tin to Jiajia, said: Recruit Chen Jun...... The text is a moral table, and the fan is a scholar, and it is not appropriate to have an obscure number...... It is an inscription that says: E'a Chongyue, spitting talisman to descend to the gods, Mr. Yu Huang, holding treasure and cherishing, how to Haoqiong, both mourning, micro-words, the comer hears, hand over to the yellow bird, gather in the thorns, life is not redeemable, how to mourn! ”

Everyone listened to this inscription, all admired, Wang Heng also listened to the breathtaking, Cai Yong in the inscription to Chen Yu's character and morality gave great praise, between the lines of the true feelings, no hypocrisy, no hypocrisy, no defeat, reflecting the inscription simple, still the truthful side.

At the same time, Cai Yong in the creation of the inscription and the great extent of galloping literary talent, the text of the intentional use of dictionaries, words and sentences pay attention to the battle neat, unrestrained rhetoric, extremely elegant, and this qiē, is conceived and completed in just a quarter of an hour, just a few hundred words on the expression xiàn to the fullest, Cai Yong is known as the first resignation of the dynasty is indeed worthy of the name.

Kong Rong especially loved the inscriptions written by Cai Yong, and he also wrote inscriptions for others many times in the future, and in his inscription creation, he was also greatly influenced by Cai Yong.

Chen Yu's descendants read this inscription written by Cai Yong, and they all bowed down to Cai Yong with tears in their eyes, and said that with this inscription, Chen Yu's name will be immortal.

As an aside, Deng Ai, a famous general of the Wei State, came to Xu County, Yingchuan with his mother when he was a teenager, and saw this inscription in front of Chen Yu's tomb, and liked it very much.

Chen Yu's funeral, can be said to be extremely grieved, the important figures of the dynasty Shilin and the court ministers, I don't know how many came, according to incomplete statistics, there are more than 30,000 people who came to Xu County to hang filial piety for him, countless cars and horses, Xu County people all said, never seen Xu County so lively.

Wang Heng also met Xun Chen, Xun You, Guo Jia, Judge, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Cheng Yu and other famous figures in the Three Kingdoms period this time, of course, they are basically strategists, this is because generally only literati will come to Chen Yu to pay filial piety.

For Wang Heng, of course, these people are all famous, but for these people, Wang Heng's fame is also very great, just by inventing and printing books, Wang Heng is enough to be remembered in Shilin. Therefore, these people were very polite to Wang Heng when they saw him.

It can be said that Wang Heng's trip to Xu County has gained a lot.

**********

At the end of August, Chen Liuyu County, Wang Heng and his entourage came here after paying tribute to Chen Yu, which is Cai Yong's hometown.

Yu County is not far from Xu County, so Cai Yong plans to go back to his hometown and move the collection of books from his hometown to Hanshou and print them all.

Now Cai Yong is still avoiding trouble, and the government has also made him a little disheartened, he has no intention of being used by the court for the time being, and it is impossible to return to his hometown to live for a long time, so it is also a very meaningful thing to sort out and print his own collection of books, and all his energy is now on this.

This time when he came to Xu County, Cai Yong did not encounter assassination. In fact, in the last year or so that he avoided trouble in the land of Wuhui, he basically did not encounter assassination, which is also easy to understand, after all, he has been out to avoid trouble for more than ten years, and few people will have such patience and still send people to hunt him down.

And among the people who have the deepest enmity with Cai Yong, a few of them have died, such as Wang Fu, the middle permanent servant, and Wei Wei Yangqiu, etc., and the remaining enemies are mainly the ten permanent servants, who are now fighting to the death with the general He Jin and others, and they are too busy to take care of themselves, and it is estimated that they have no intention of assassinating Cai Yong, a person who is no longer harmful to them.

Now as long as Cai Yong doesn't swagger around the city of Luoyang, it is estimated that the ten permanent servants will ignore him.

Even so, Dian Wei still vigilantly guarded Cai Yong, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, in case there is a person with a tendon who still wants to assassinate Cai Yong for revenge?

The Cai family is a big clan in Yu County, and Cai Yong's hometown is surrounded by Cai clansmen, and when everyone sees Cai Yong, who has not been home for more than ten years, is back, they are all surprised and happy, and they have gathered around to make a cold noise.

Seeing so many people coming around, Dian Wei tightened his grip on the hilt of the knife at his waist - this time when he went out of the door, a murder weapon like a big iron halberd was not suitable for carrying on his body, and he put it on the carriage, and he only carried a knife with him.

Cai Yong smiled gently: "Awei, don't be nervous, these are my clansmen." ”

Dian Wei relaxed his right hand slightly, but his pair of eyes still scanned left and right like a falcon, and once he found something wrong, he could immediately block in front of Cai Yong.

Cai Yong and the clansmen were noisy, but he didn't say a word about where he was avoiding trouble now, and he couldn't bring any trouble to Wang Heng.

Cai Yong sighed with emotion: "Yong has not returned to his hometown for more than ten years, so his home must have been ruined?" ”

A clansman said: "Yilang, there are people in your house to take care of, and now it is the same as when you left home!" ”

Cai Yong couldn't help but wonder: "Is the Yong family taken care of? Who's that? ”

The clansman said, "It's a servant of the Yilang family." ”

Cai Yong felt even more strange, he hadn't been home for more than ten years, his life and death were unknown, and there was no one else at home, he thought that the servants in the family had run clean, but he didn't expect to leave one.

The strong curiosity made Cai Yong speed up his pace and walked to his home.

Came to the door of Cai Yong's house, only to see that the door was closed, Wang Heng asked a guard to come forward and knock on the door, and after a while, someone opened the door, this is a gray head with white hair, he bent his waist and asked, "Who are you looking for?" The owner is not here. ”

Cai Yong looked at Cang Tou carefully for a while, and suddenly shouted excitedly: "Akang! ”

Cangtou heard Cai Yong's cry and looked at Cai Yong, and after a while, he also shouted excitedly: "Master, you're back!" ”

Cangtou hurriedly opened the door and let Cai Yong and his party in.

It turned out that Cangtou was an old servant of the Cai family, named Xu Kang, more than ten years ago, after Cai Yong went to the land of Wuhui to avoid trouble, the servants of the Cai family left the Cai family one after another because the main family was empty, and finally only he and his wife were left, taking care of the Cai family's house.

Five or six years ago, his old wife also passed away, so he was the only one left, but he still didn't leave, he has been sticking here, he has always believed that Cai Yong will definitely come back one day.

Cai Yong looked inside and outside his house and found that there was no trace of decay here, all of them were the same as when he left home to go to Luoyang more than ten years ago, and even the flowers and trees in the yard were trimmed neatly, which showed how much thought Xu Kang had put into this house.

Cai Yong went to his library to take a look, and the books in the library were also well kept, there were few traces of being eaten by insects and ants, and there was no smell of mold, presumably Xu Kang would often take these books out to dry.

You must know that Cai Yong's collection of books is very large, and Xu Kang has no helpers, I really don't know how he has completed such a large amount of work by himself for so many years.

Cai Yong saw that the collection of books was safe, and his hanging heart was also relaxed, and he asked Xu Kang: "Akang, what have you lived on all these years?" ”

Xu Kang said: "I do some work for others, and I grow some vegetables in the yard. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Kang said to Cai Yong with some trepidation: "Master, I didn't keep these books of yours for you, and some of them were eaten by insects." ”

Cai Yong smiled and said gently: "Akang, you are only one person, and it is already rare to be able to do such a journey." ”

Xu Kang relieved himself a little, he knew that Cai Yong's most precious collection was these books, so he spent the most thought on these books over the years, but his strength alone was limited after all, and it was inevitable that some books would be eaten by insects, he always felt very sorry for Cai Yong, and felt that he had not done a good job.

Xu Kang's loyalty made Wang Heng and others couldn't help but be moved.

Cai Yan was born in Luoyang, and later went to Saiwai and Wuhui with her father to avoid trouble, so she never returned to her hometown, this is the first time she has returned to her hometown, and everything she sees is very novel.

In particular, most of these books are unreadable by her, most of the books she has read are those that her father hastily brought with her father when she left Luoyang, and some of them were read at the house of some of her father's friends on the way to escape, and finally, her father recited them to her with superhuman memory, although there are a lot of these books, but compared with the collection of books in her hometown, they are too few.

Cai Yong's collection of books, many of which Wang Heng has never seen, as soon as he came here, he was shocked, no wonder Cai Yong has such a great knowledge, if he has read so many books, his knowledge will not be able to think big.

Cai Yan asked, "Father, do we have to transport all these books back to Hanshou?" ”

Cai Yong nodded and said: "Exactly, these books are very precious, if they are lost in my hands, I will be a sinner through the ages, I must be transported back to Hanshou and all printed into a book, so that I can feel at ease!" ”

Wang Heng said happily: "With so many books shipped back, Xu Shang and Gongsun Fang are busy again." ”

Xu Shang and Gongsun Fang are both disciples of Zheng Xuan, and now they are presiding over the printing of books, for more than a year, they are far from being finished even the original Wang family and Zheng Xuan's collection, and this time they have shipped back so many Cai Yong's collections, even if there are some duplicates, but so many books are to be printed, it is really enough for them to be busy, and if they don't get it right, it will take several years, or even more than ten years.

Zheng Xuan once came to Cai Yong's library to borrow books, but now more than ten years have passed, but there is no big change in the appearance here, he is also emotional, he said to Cai Yong: "Uncle, you old servant has made great contributions to the world!" ”

Cai Yong nodded again and again, at this time his heart was also full of gratitude to Xu Kang, if it weren't for Xu Kang, the Cai family's mansion would be a trivial matter, if these books were damaged by insects, ants, rats, beetles, then many of them would be lost to the world, then he would really become a sinner through the ages.

From this point of view, Xu Kang has indeed made great contributions to the world.

Cai Yong said to Xu Kang: "Akang, thank you very much!" ”

Xu Kang was frightened, he didn't know much about words, he only knew that these books were the master's favorite, so he had to help the master keep them, and he didn't know how meaningful his actions were.

Maybe a lot of meaningful things are done by such people unintentionally.
