Chen Letian spent three days at home, and there was no movement, and the strange man did not come back.

Chen Letian reads at home every day in addition to eating and sleeping.

During his few months in Wudang, he had a great gain, that is, after he could enter and leave the library freely, he had to copy a lot of books every time he entered.

The master said that he could not bring the book out, but he did not say that he could not copy the book. So Chen Letian made good use of this opportunity and copied a large number of books on Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and Baijia.

The Great Song Dynasty took Confucianism as its official school, and incorporated other families, and even the saints often came to Wudang to borrow books. Although the real people in Wudang are poor, they don't eat very well, and they don't sleep very well, but the books that condense the efforts of their predecessors, a book cave, are comparable to a million taels of gold.

During this time, Chen Letian was reading the Tianshi Lu of Zhuzi's commentary on the Analects of the former dynasty. It is a unique book, and the only original version in the world is only Wudang Mountain. The saint once sent someone to ask for it, but Li Xuantong, the head of the sect, flatly refused, copied a copy by himself, and then sent it to the palace in person.

What else can the Holy Lord say? The Wudang Sect has already come to plead guilty. In order to show the emperor's demeanor, the saint did not pursue Li Xuantong's crime of resisting the decree, and also rewarded Li Xuantong, saying that Li Zhangjiao is a thousand words, and I can get a Tianshi record from Li Zhangjiao's handwriting, which is also a unique book.

Tianshi recorded more than 100,000 words, which was written in the year of Zhu Zi's sixtieth birthday. There are completely different understandings of many of the established conclusions in the Analects. To this day, the content of this book is often discussed by scholars and literati. There are many who love it, and there are many who oppose it.

However, Chen Letian never reads books like ordinary scholars, either highly admired or opposed to criticism.

When reading, try not to have a mindset of approval or opposition. It's good to be able to read something useful to you, but if you can't read it, it may not be a problem of the book itself, but a problem of yourself.

Anyway, Chen Letian is very satisfied with his mentality, and because of this, he can continue to improve.

However, reading should not be read from morning to night, so it is easy to produce a feeling of burnout, and the efficiency will be very poor. Therefore, Chen Letian usually reads in the morning and stops reading until lunch. I won't read it again in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, he would go out and walk around.

After leaving his hometown for so many years, he couldn't spare time until now after returning to Beijing, so he waited for the strange man to have nothing to do in the past few days, so he came out to have a look.

The older uncles and uncles in the neighborhood are still alive, which Chen Lotian is very pleased with.

Chen Letian brought wine and meat to visit one by one to thank these neighbors who had helped him in the most difficult days of their family.

The Liu family in the east has now changed the door, and the door of the ordinary people has changed to a bigger one, and it has been replaced by the door of the secretary of the Zhangyin of the Zhili Qing Officials Division of the Criminal Department.

I think that at the beginning, before Chen Letian joined the army, the kid from the Liu family was still snotty and shouted to his brother to take me to play. Now, it's only been five years, and Liu Delong's kid has become a clean official praised by his neighbors.

Chen Letian stepped into the door of the Liu family, the old man and the old lady of the Liu family saw Chen Letian, happily grabbed Chen Letian's arm, didn't know what to say, just laughed, and kept pinching Chen Letian's body with both hands.

Chen Letian handed over the wine and meat and said, "Three uncles and three aunts, their bodies are fine..."

Aunt Liu's hand suddenly pinched Chen Letian's buttocks, nodded, and said, "Yes, Lotte has grown up, he can marry a daughter-in-law, is there a girl in the picture?" ”

Chen Letian hissed a cool breath, his ass and face were hot, and he reluctantly smiled: "Third aunt, don't pinch it, how old am I..."

The third aunt withdrew her hand, hesitated, raised the hand that had just pinched Chen Letian's buttocks, pinched Chen Letian's face and said, "How old are you, you haven't married and had children yet, you are still a child, come, tell me honestly, do you have a favorite girl." ”

Old man Liu smiled and said: "Old woman, don't make trouble, Lotte is shy, haha..."

"Daddy, who are you talking to? Out of the room came a man about the same age as Chen Letian, with a square face and broad forehead, clear eyes, and a decent gentleman. As soon as he saw Chen Letian, the man jumped over and grabbed Chen Letian's shoulder: "Lotte!

"Zhengqing, long time no see!"

The two men looked at each other with their arms crossed.

On Liu Zhengqing's face, Chen Letian could vaguely see the shadow of the little boy who was chasing him behind him with snot. But compared with when he was a child, Liu Zhengqing is now more resolute and decent on his face. When people look at it from afar, they can feel a wave of righteousness rushing to their faces.

People say that each other is born from the heart, but this is actually not true at all. From the neighbors' evaluation of Liu Zhengqing, we can know that although Liu Zhengqing should be an official with a lot of oil and water, there is no fish and meat in the township, and there is no corruption. At least not on the surface.

As for being an official, Chen Letian's understanding is like this. Greed, you can, but don't be greedy for the poor, don't be greedy for the ordinary people who can't live those days. It is acceptable to scrape some oil and water from a wealthy merchant that does not hurt the muscles and bones. After all, everyone has to live. The other thing is, you have to do practical things, don't be greedy for money and do nothing. At that time, I didn't listen to anything outside the window, and I only read the books of sages. Now he still doesn't hear anything outside the window, and he only fishes for black-hearted silver. That would be unforgivable.

Liu Zhengqing pulled Chen Letian into the house to drink tea. Liu Sanbo and the third aunt went out to buy vegetables. I must leave Chen Lotian to eat at home. Chen Letian was gracious, so he agreed.

Chen Letian looked at the back of the third uncle and three aunts going out, and said to Liu Zhengqing: "Actually, I came back a long time ago, but I have been busy and have no time to visit. ”

Liu Zhengqing said: "I know that you are busy, the exam of Qingtian Pavilion, and later I heard that you went to Wudang to practice." My father and mother have wanted to go to you for a long time, but I stopped me, I said that Lotte is busy, and said that when you are not busy, you will naturally come to see you old, so they gave up, and they were worried that you would become a big man and ignore them. ”

Chen Letian glanced at Liu Zhengqing and said with a smile: "Zhengqing underestimated me, I, Chen Letian, have become a great grandmaster and a general, in my eyes, the three uncles and three aunts are still the three uncles and three aunts, you were young at that time, you may not know, my father and mother were buried at the funeral, how much the three uncles and three aunts helped, not to mention how they usually take care of me, just with this kindness, I will remember it for a lifetime." Zhengqing, I don't care how high you stand in the future, whether you are a first-class and second-class person who can freely enter and leave the palace or a little knife and pen who does not enter the court, we are all good brothers. ”

Liu Zhengqing laughed, stood up and said, "Lotte, we don't have to say polite words." After a pause, Liu Zhengqing said: "Let me ask you, did you handle the case of Guo Yongchun, the servant of the Ministry of Officials a few months ago?"

Chen Letian was shocked in his heart, and subconsciously said, "What do you mean?"

Liu Zhengqing smiled slightly and said, "Still pretending, I saw you muttering something with Master Shangshu." At that time, I didn't dare to recognize you, but when I came back and inquired, sure enough, you came back. After that, I saw you from afar a few times in the Criminal Department, and at that time there was a guard who seemed to be the General's Mansion by your side, although I don't know what role you played in it, but you were dressed in white, and during that time, you frequently went in and out of our Shangshu's office, and frequently entered and exited the prison of the Criminal Department, there must be something wrong, do you dare to deny it?"

After hearing this, Chen Letian sighed lightly and said: "Zhengqing, I really can't imagine that you are so old and spicy now, you have only been in the Criminal Department for a few years, and you are already like this!

Liu Zhengqing thought to himself, what do you admire, and you are still sloppy with me, do you think I don't know anything? Lord Shangshu values me very much, and I took someone to find the folk girl that Guo Yongchun was hiding in the suburbs. said in his mouth: "Then Guo Shilang probably doesn't know until now, you are the mastermind who got him down." ”

Chen Lotian laughed. Liu Zhengqing looked at him and smiled, thinking, see how long you have to pretend.

Chen Letian couldn't hide it, nodded and said: "It's about the Wei State spy, I can only tell you that half of Guo Yongchun dug his own grave and half was implicated, but on the whole, Guo Yongchun is not at a loss when he falls to the point where he is today." I can't say anything else. ”

When Liu Zhengqing heard the words "Wei State spy", he immediately raised his hand and said, "Okay, you don't need to say it, it's useless to say too much to me." "The case of being contaminated with spies is already more sensitive, and Liu Zhengqing has just entered his career and does not want to be involved in these dangerous things. Now he just wants to learn more things from the seniors of the Criminal Department.

Chen Letian saw that Liu Zhengqing was a little weak-hearted, and deliberately said: "Don't be afraid, Zhengqing, this spy hasn't done anything, he has been in our Great Song Dynasty for more than ten years, and he has never received any useful news, and his only contribution is to eat a few thousand catties of rice for Wei Guo, and he bought it with money, haha..."

Liu Zhengqing turned a deaf ear, picked up the teacup and drank tea, his eyes looked at the landscape paintings hanging on the wall, looking like a fugue foreign object.

The lunch was very hearty, seven or eight dishes, chicken, duck and fish, and the best Jiannan roasted spring. It can be seen how high the living standards of the people in the inner city of the Great Song Dynasty Bianjing are. A secretary of the Seal of the Straight Officials Division of the Criminal Department, who has just taken office for a long time, has such a family background. From another aspect, it can also be seen that the monthly money of the officials of the Great Song Dynasty is still very sufficient.

You must know that the Liu family was very poor ten years ago, and the farming family has never been so poor for several generations.

But Chen Letian felt that with the current price in Bianjing, no matter how expensive this wine and food were, it would not be expensive, it was nothing more than that the Liu family had no money to buy meat to eat in the next half month. He decided that he would send more wine and food to the Liu family in the future, otherwise Liu Zhengqing, a clean official, would probably turn into a corrupt official.
