Ran Sheng had been promoted to the rank of commander, and this time he brought a hundred sergeants with him to follow Chen Caozhi to Kuaiji. However, Chen Caozhi only asked Ran Sheng to choose 20 sergeants to accompany him, and the remaining sergeants stayed in the secret office of Zhong Ling Huan——
If we go to Kuaiji to review Tujuan, of course we have to face the obstruction of the big clans in Kuaiji, and if necessary we have to enter the noble manors to inspect, but this mainly depends on the power of the local counties. Not only is Ran Sheng's hundred sergeants not of much use, On the contrary, it is easy to be jealous of the scholars and common people in Kuaiji, and Chen Caozhi is never willing to intensify the conflict.
On September 25th, Chen Caozhi, Xie Daoyun, Jia Bizhi, Xie Xuan, and Liu Shangzhi separated in Jurong County and headed towards Wu County. Some were on horseback, some were in cars, and some were on foot, so the itinerary was also It is not very fast, and it can cover six or seventy miles in one day. It is a pleasure to have crisp autumn air and sunny days in succession. Xie Daoyun has learned to ride a horse in the morning and evening. In the past few days, he has been riding a brown mare together with Chen Caozhi. OK.
Shen Jin's son, Shen Chiqian, followed Chen Cao's order and followed Xie Xuan. Liu Shangzhi returned to Wuxing County to help them with Tu Duan. Although the Wuxing Shen family has declined in the past twenty years, it still has a strong presence in this county. A very large force, with Shen's help, Xie Xuanfu's pressure on Tujuan will be reduced a lot——
On the morning of the fifth day of October, Chen Cao and his entourage came to Wujun County. Outside the west gate, Xie Daoyun smiled and said: "Three years ago, Zizhong left Wujun and returned to Qiantang. Ladies all over the city rushed to give away eggs, melons and fruits to the South Gate Post Pavilion. , I have collected a lot of sweet cakes, and I think there will be another grand event today."
Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "Even if Wei Jie is really resurrected, it's nothing more than this after seeing him too much. How can we watch him around every day?"
Xie Daoyun smiled and said nothing. What he was thinking was: "Those girls who gave you the sachet three years ago are now married to other people. Time flies so fast."
Entering Wujuncheng, Chen Caozhi took an ox cart instead to avoid being watched by the women, idle Han children and young children of Wujun. He went to the county office with Xie Daoyun and Jia Bizhi to meet with the prefect Zhu Xian. After lunch, Chen Caozhi went with Xie Daoyun. I went to Xiaojing Lake and under the Lion Rock to visit Dr. Xu Zao. I passed by Zhenqing Taoist Temple and found out that the master of the temple, Taoist Li, had passed away in August. Chen Caozhi was deeply saddened. At the beginning of the year, he passed by Wu County and went to Jiankang to meet Taoist Li. At that time, Li Daoren also took him to the back mountain to see the camellias. At Li Daoren's request, he painted a "Taoyuan Camellia Picture". Unexpectedly, when he returned to Wu County, Li Daoren had passed away!
When Chen Caozhi went to the back mountain of Zhenqing Taoist Temple, Xie Daoyun did not go with him. She knew that Chen Caozhi and Lu Weirui often met here to enjoy flowers. She did not want to step into Chen Caozhi's memory. This belonged to Chen Caozhi. Cao Zhi and Lu Weirui, and she and Chen Caozhi seem to be always on the road, from Wujun to Qiantang, from Jiankang to Gushu, and now they are all the way to Kuaiji——
The waves of Xiaojing Lake are still shining, and the Lion Rock sits as straight as before. Chen Caozhi's two cousins, Chen Mo and Chen Tan, studied in Xu's school. When they met, they were overjoyed.
Chen Tan was sixteen years old and still had a young mind. He was quite close to Chen Caozhi. As soon as they met, he lowered his voice and said: "Brother Sixteen, I met Ms. Lu at the beginning of last month. Ms. Lu came here to pay homage to Dr. Xu and represent her." Father greeted Dr. Xu, and the Lu girl smiled and nodded at the two of me, and also asked a little maid to ask my two brothers what they said——"
Chen Caozhi said "hmm" and asked, "Miss Lu, is she in Huating now?"
Chen Tan responded: "Yes, after meeting Dr. Xu, he took a bus to Huating. Brother Sixteenth, are you going to see her?"
At this time, Dr. Xu Zao, a doctor of Chinese studies in Wujun, walked out of the thatched cottage. Chen Caozhi hurriedly came forward to pay his respects. Chen Caozhi had not seen Dr. Xu Zao for more than three years since the last time he left in Wujun. This time, Dr. Xu saw him again.
The hair on the temples is completely white, which is a sign of premature aging in ancient times, and people in their fifties are already in their twilight years.
Dr. Xu Zao was very happy to see Chen Caozhi and Zhu Yingtai. He has been teaching for more than ten years. Chen Caozhi and Zhu Yingtai are the most outstanding students he has ever taught. Dr. Xu learned that Chen Caozhi and Zhu Yingtai are the most outstanding students he has ever taught.
He went to Kuaiji to review Tu Duan and said: "I guess this time I am going back to Qiantang for a visit. I will go to Qiantang at the end of the year and will celebrate the New Year at Brother Feng Mengxiong's house. Miao'er will also rush back to Qiantang years ago.
"
Xu Miao and Feng Lingbo attended Gu Kaizhi's wedding in April, then returned to Wu County to visit their old father, and then returned to Qiantang to meet Feng Mengxiong and his wife. Feng Lingbo found out that she was pregnant, and Xu Miao couldn't bear her to go to Jingzhou with him to travel and travel, so he let Feng Lingbo stay.
Qian Tang’s mother’s house.
After talking for a while, Chen Caozhi asked Dr. Xu where Fan Wang currently lives. Dr. Xu smiled and said: "Brother Fan Wang came here to discuss Confucianism with me the day before yesterday. Do you want Cao Zhi to visit him?" He ordered a servant to lead the way.
, took Chen Caozhi to see Fan Wang.
Fan Wang, the governor of Xu and Yanzhou, missed the Northern Expedition and was demoted to a commoner by Huan Wen, so he lived in seclusion in a bamboo hut by the Jing River in Wuxian County. Chen Caozhi, Xie Daoyun and Ran Sheng led Xu's servants along the road to Jing.
Go against the current on the south bank of the river and reach the other bank via the pontoon——
As he led the horse across the pontoon bridge, Xie Daoyun suddenly said: "Zizhong, that day you were playing music under that Gongsun tree. It has been almost four years, and the tree has barely grown."
Four years ago, sister and brother Xie Daoyun listened to Chen Caozhi playing music under the Gongsun tree on a awning boat by this pontoon. At that time, time was far away and yet so close. More than a thousand days and nights passed, and they came to this pontoon again.
, the song seems to be still filling the flowing water——
Chen Caozhi said calmly: "The Gongsun tree is planted by a male and the grandchildren can eat it. Its lifespan is a thousand years. How can anyone live up to it?"
After hearing this, Xie Daoyun suddenly thought of her third aunt Liu Dan's shocking words, "If you are less than a hundred years old, if you like her, you have to fight for it." She couldn't help but smile and shook her head. Xie Daoyun felt that her third aunt did not understand her emotions, so Chen
Where is Caozhi? Does Chen Caozhi understand her?
After crossing the pontoon bridge, Xu's servant pointed to the bamboo forest in front and said, "Two gentlemen, that is Fan's Manor."
It was almost dusk, the setting sun was shining, the bamboos were shaded, and the scenery was quiet. The small manor covering an area of several hectares was where Fan Wang lived in seclusion. The guest of the village asked Chen Cao and the other three to wait for a while and made an urgent announcement.
At the meeting, Fan Wuzi with a beard and a solemn expression strode over and said with a smile: "Brother Zizhong, my father has been gifted "Thirteen Chapters of Yi Li" by Chang Si and Zizhong - this man
yes?"
Fan Ning didn't recognize this Zhu Yingtai, how could he know that he had had a fierce argument with this Zhu Yingtai.
Zhu Yingtai said in a thick nasal voice: "I'm going down to Yu Zhuxie. Zhu Yingtai admires the name of Duke Fan, so he came to visit with Zizhong."
Fan Ning left Jiankang and returned to Wu County in March. He didn't know that Zhu Yingtai became a blockbuster at the Tianque Mountain Elegant Gathering, but he had heard that Zhu Yingtai wanted to marry Xie Daoyun. Today, he saw Zhu Yingtai's face.
She was wearing pink incense and looked quite feminine, so she felt a certain amount of contempt in her heart, thinking: "Such a wandering boy actually wants to marry a daughter of the Xie family. The Xie family's daughter is a genius. In my opinion, only Chen Cao can match her."
Fan Wang, Fan Ning and his son valued Confucianism over mysticism, and hated the Zhengshi Xuanfeng. They took powder, incense, and masculinity, which were all the evils of the Zhengshi Xuanfeng. Fan Ning had always been upright and showed joy and anger. Since he despised Zhu
Yingtai was quite indifferent to Zhu Yingtai, but very enthusiastic to Chen Caozhi, so he led them to see his father Fan Wang.
Chen Caozhi walked behind and said to Xie Daoyun with a blank look: "Brother Yingtai, don't blame me. Brother Fan is a straightforward person. He must not be used to you applying powder and incense."
Xie Daoyun said: "Zizhong, my third uncle said that I show sharp edges in my interactions with others. I want you to remind me from time to time. How about I show my sharp edges again today?"
Chen Caozhi smiled slightly and said: "Brother Yingtai has not argued for many days, are you feeling itchy?"
Xie Daoyun said: "When you meet a master of metaphysical talk, you will inevitably be eager to try it."
Fan Wuzi hated Zhengshi Xuanfeng, but he studied Huang and Lao's studies carefully. If he wanted to promote Confucianism, he must have a thorough understanding of Lao and Zhuang's metaphysics, so that he could refute Lao and Zhuang's metaphysics. The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy, the so-called attacking with the spear of Zi
He is also the shield of the son.
Chen Cao said: "Brother Fan will lament the difficulty of promoting Confucianism when he meets such a powerful master of metaphysical debate as Brother Yingtai."
Xie Daoyun asked: "Then I will remain silent?"
Chen Cao said: "We can talk about Confucianism, classics and history. When we go to Kuaiji, we have to pay a visit to Yu Changshi, who is elegant and good at classics and history, and hates mystique. The scholars in Kuaiji value Confucianism and despise mysticism. When we go to the countryside, we must follow the customs."
Xie Daoyun smiled and said in a low voice: "Zizhong said what he said to whomever he met, talked about Confucianism, mysticism and military affairs, recited poems, painted and cooked tea, whatever he chose."
Chen Caozhi smiled and saw the gray-haired old man standing in the corridor. His face vaguely resembled that of Fan Ning, with a weathered look, his eyes were deep and sharp, and he had an air of self-reliance without anger. This should be him.
Fan Wang and Fan Xuan, who once held military and political power in Xu and Yan states, were defeated.
Chen Caozhi and Xie Daoyun came forward to greet each other. Fan Wang briefly exchanged greetings and said: "Those who have been demoted rarely have guests. Now I see two young talents. Fan is very happy. They are good at Go. Fan is eager to play with them."
Let’s talk for a while, please——”
Fan Wang is the author of "Chess Products". The nine levels of chess products are trance, sitting, concrete, quiet, wise, compact, fighting, foolish, and clumsy. These nine levels of chess were first proposed by Fan Wang and Chen Caozhi.
I love Go very much. This time I came to visit Fan Wang just to learn a game from Fan Wang and to see the style of the first Go player in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Also, Fan Wang is an important figure in the Beifu of Jingkou. The Beifu was controlled by Xi Chao's grandfather Xi Jian.
When it was founded, the sergeants were all refugees from the north. The soldiers of Beifu were famous for their bravery and skill in fighting. They played a vital role in putting down the rebellion of Wang She and Su Jun. However, since Xi Tan died of illness and Fan Wang was deposed, Beifu was ordered by Huan Wen.
Cancellation, the Beifu soldiers either surrendered to Yu Xi, or were disarmed and returned to the fields. Today there is no independent Beifu soldiers——
Chen Caozhi knew that it would be ten years before Xie An ordered Xie Xuan to rebuild the Beifu soldiers after Xie An came to power. Since Chen Caozhi had the foresight, he might as well make good friends with Fan Wang, the veteran of the Beifu army. It would be much more convenient to reorganize the Beifu soldiers in the future. Of course,
, when Huan Wen was in power, it was impossible to rebuild the Beifu army. Chen Caozhi knew this very well. Haste makes waste, otherwise it would be disaster if Huan Wen was jealous, so he used chess to interact with Fan Wang. Even if Huan Wen knew
When he came to visit Fan Wang, he would just laugh it off.
