Zhang Wenwan wanted to go to Dong'an Temple to offer incense. Lu Na agreed and ordered Steward to prepare 100,000 yuan as incense to pay homage to the Buddha. Lu Na also asked Zhang Wenwan if he wanted Lu Qin to accompany him.
Zhang Wenwan said, "I have my own wife to keep me company, so why bother with my second uncle's family."
Lu Na knew that his wife was still resentful towards her second brother Lu Shi, so she smiled and said no more, feeling quite worried in her heart--
Zhang Wenwan had not given birth for twelve years after marriage. Changsheng passed away due to illness. Lu Na saw no consequences. Yesterday Lu Shi also mentioned this matter to Lu Na and asked him what he was worried about? Lu Na and Zhang Wenwan were so deeply in love that they would never consider divorce, so they told Lu Shi that if they still couldn't have children in two years, they would adopt their fourth brother Lu Chen's youngest son Lu Long as their heir--
Lu Shi nodded and said, "That's good. We don't have to wait another two years. Zhang Clan is thirty-five years old. Where can I still have children? I have already told my fourth brother to adopt Lu Long. Lu Long is six years old this year. It will be more considerate to raise her from a young age."
Lu Na Weiwei, he hasn't told his wife Zhang Wenwan about this yet, for fear that Zhang Wenwan would be sad. Wen Wan went to Dong'an Temple just to beg for a child. It is said that Dong'an Temple Sandalwood Buddha has a good experience in begging for a child--
Early in the morning on February 20th, Zhang Wenwan and Lu Weiwei took eight maids and eight servants and rode eight ox carts. Under the escort of sixteen sabers Household Troops, they went to the eastern suburbs of Jiankang city Dong'an Temple. They met North Bank of Hengtang Lu Qin, Lu Qin paid tribute to Third Aunt and asked if they were going to Dong'an Temple to offer incense. They said, "Third Aunt, Master Lin can only talk and drink tea, and have no supernatural powers. Xuzhou Lu Song Daoist Master Lu acquired Three Officials's wonderful magic and magical powers. He came to Beijing last year and set up a Daoist temple under Mount Zhidu. Jiankang Gentry and Commoners has been naturalized like a cloud. He prayed for blessings and disasters and asked for children, and everything was answered. Third Aunt why not naturalize Daoist Master Lu and take him as his teacher?"
Kuaiji Zhang Clan has believed in Way of the Celestial Masters for generations, Zhang Wenwan has also heard of Mount Zhidu Lu Song is said to have asked for a child in the Daoist temple, so he said to Lu Qin, "Well, you can take your aunt to see Daoist Master Lu another day. Today Dong'an Temple must go. There is no reason to give up halfway, otherwise the Buddha will also punish him."
Lu Qin said disapprovingly, "Buddha can only punish sins Water Official Emperor and eliminate disasters. Buddha is a Western saint, how can he defeat me Three Officials Emperor!"
If Lu Weiwei had not made an appointment with Chen Caozhi to go to Dong'an Temple today, Zhang Wenwan would have been persuaded by Lu Qin and changed the route to Mount Zhidu, saying, "This is not good. Three Officials Emperor must be worshiped, and Buddha must be pious."
Lu Qin didn't say much. He only said that Third Uncle and Third Aunt would be invited to go to Mount Zhidu Lu Clan Daoist Abbey in two days.
The Lu Residence convoy left the east gate of Jiankang City. Banli, who had been guarding the city gate for a long time, whispered to Zhang Wenwan, "Mother, Young Master Lu and Master Zhi disciples have just left the east gate, so we can catch up."
Zhang Wenwan nodded and ordered to speed up the journey slightly. It is more than forty miles to Tang Mountain Dong'an Temple. We have to go back and forth today, time is quite tight, and Wei Rui also has to go to Mount Hua to see Jewel Magnolia. It will definitely be dark before we rush back to the city.
Jinling At the end of February, the grass grows in the countryside and orioles are flying, the willows are as green as smoke, and the spring flowers are like brocade. There are children playing Paper Kite, chasing and running, which is childlike and cute.
Lu Weiwei saw that the spring scenery was so beautiful that he couldn't sit still in the car. He got out of the car and followed his stepmother Zhang Wenwan on foot beside the car. He was in a very happy mood.
Zhang Wenwan looked at Lu Weiwei's radiant and beautiful appearance, and felt very comfortable. He thought to himself that Chen Caozhi had a good idea. It was time to travel around and relax, and the acclimatization syndrome would naturally disappear.
Banli was walking in front, about ten miles away from the city. When he saw Chen Caozhi's ox cart, he walked over and said loudly, "Ah, Master Chen, Master Chen Where does go? Go to Dong'an Temple! My wife also goes to Dong'an Temple. This mage is? Ah, he is the disciple of Master Zhi--"
Banli ran back and reported to Zhang Wenwan, "Mother, Qiantang Master Chen went to Dong'an Temple at the invitation of Master Zhi. I heard that the mistress was also going to Dong'an Temple. I wanted to come and pay homage to the mistress. Going with Master Chen was Master Zhi's disciple Zhi Fahan."
Except for the sixteen Household Troops who carried swords, most of the eight maids and eight servants who followed Dong'an Temple to offer incense this time were confidants brought by Zhang Wenwan from his mother's house. Zanhua and Duan Chu are the personal maids of Lu Weiwei, and the other is Elder Brother of Duan Chu. Banli, so Zhang Wenwan doesn't have too many scruples, and it's not the first time to travel with Chen Caozhi. Last time we went to Beijing, we traveled together for nearly a month. This is something everyone knows--
Zhang Wenwan ordered the car to stop and said to Banli, "Please Master Chen and Master Zhi come over to meet you." He got out of the car and looked at the handsome Chen Caozhi coming side by side with a young monk.
Chen Caozhi bowed deeply to Zhang Wenwan: "Junior has seen Lady Lu."
Zhi Fahan also saluted Zhang Wenwan. Hearing that Lady Lu was going to Dong'an Temple to offer incense, he quickly said, "The little monk leads the way, the little monk leads the way."
Lu Weiwei, who was standing behind Zhang Wenwan, took a step forward and said, "Master Chen is well--Master Zhi is well."
Chen Caozhi and Zhi Fahan returned the gift together. Zhi Fahan didn't know who this sweet and charming girl was. Hearing Chen Caozhi call her Young Lady Lu, it suddenly dawned on her that this was not a chance encounter, but a pre-arranged appointment. She couldn't help but smile. The car and the people moved, but it turned out that her heart was still moved.
Zhang Wenwan said, "It's a coincidence that I happened to be traveling with Master Zhi and Master Chen." He said to Lu Weiwei, "Rui'er, get in the car. We still have thirty miles to go. You have to hurry up. Come and ride with me."
Lu Weiwei followed his stepmother Zhang Wenwan onto the ox cart. Chen Caozhi and Zhi Fahan walked together. As they walked, the wise monk Zhi Fahan simply goes with Ran Sheng who rides Baima, and does not prevent Chen Caozhi from talking to Lady Lu and Young Lady Lu.
Lady Lu heard from Lu Na that Chen Caozhi had successfully passed Grand Zhongzheng Assessment. This time she asked Chen Caozhi about the situation that day because she knew that Wei Rui wanted to hear it.
Chen Caozhi then went through the details of Minister of Works' Office's assessment that day. Of course, Chen Caozhi did not mention that Lu Shi made things difficult for him and was embarrassed.
Zhang Wenwan heard that Chen Caozhi asked for Mingsheng Lake as a reward to him. She did not ask Chen Caozhi, but asked Lu Weiwei: "Ruier, what about Mingsheng Lake? Is it beautiful?"
Lu Weiwei nodded and said, "Well, it's very beautiful, even three points more beautiful than Jiangling Lake."
Zhang Wenwan smiled and said to Chen Caozhi, "Caozhi rescued Wei Rui's painting yesterday. Wei Rui was so happy that I spent half a night looking at the painting on three mountains. This is Wei Rui's proud work."
"Mother--"Lu Weiwei said coquettishly.
Zhang Wenwan said, "Okay, Rui'er is talking to Master Chen. Let me have a rest. I'm just asking questions for you."
Lu Weiwei was sitting by the car window looking at Chen Caozhi with shame and joy, not knowing what to say, but her mother was sitting next to her and said, "Master Chen, let's take the car, there's still a long way to go."
Chen Caozhi said, "It doesn't matter, just walk and ride in the car, you can keep fit."
Lu Weiwei said, "I also want to get off the car and go, but I'm afraid it will delay my trip."
Chen Caozhi said, "The road is still long. Let's start walking when we get to Dong'an Temple. I'm used to walking on long roads."
Two people, one in the car and one outside the car, talked about trivial things about their hometown, flowers, birds, insects, fish, calligraphy and painting, without Confucianism and Daoism Dialectical Debate's sharpness, just whispering, as if the spring breeze was blowing on the face, very refreshing and comfortable--
Zhang Wenwan sat aside and watched the beautiful couple talking softly. He was very moved and had a strong desire to fulfill these two people.
During the thirty-mile long road, we rested for half an hour in a small market town, drank some hot tea and ate some cakes. The driver fed Bulls some fodder, and then continued on the road. It was almost noon when we arrived at the foot of Tang Mountain.
Dong'an Temple is at the southern foot of Tang Mountain, more than a mile away from the bottom of the mountain. Zhang Wenwan and Lu Weiwei both got off the car and walked, Zhi Fahan led the way, and the group slowly went up the mountain along the mountain road.
Zhang Wenwan Seeing the beautiful scenery of Tang Mountain, although the mountain is not high, the clouds are steaming and the clouds are shining brightly, as if an immortal is swallowing clouds and spitting mist. I can't help but admire it.
Chen Caozhi said, "Lady Lu, that is not cloud, but the water vapor evaporated from the spring. Tang Mountain is named after the spring. Bathing in the spring of Tang Mountain can strengthen your body."
Zhi Fahan asked, "Layman Chen has traveled to Tang Mountain before, so why do you say so much about it?"
Chen Caozhi said, "My master Master Zhichuan mentioned Jiankang Tang Mountain in his "Jade Casket Prescriptions" and believed that the spring of Tang Mountain is extremely effective in treating wind-bi syndrome and three dryness diseases."
At this time, a monk walked down the mountain path and said to Zhi Fahan Heshi: "Brother, Qiantang Layman Chen is here?"
Zhi Fahan said, "This is Layman Chen, and the wife and girl of Minister of the Left for the People, who came to this temple to offer incense."
The monk quickly saluted Chen Caozhi, Lady Lu and Lu Weiwei respectively, and then said to Zhi Fahan, "Brother, today's temple There are a lot of distinguished guests here. Half an hour ago, Wang Yishao Wang Tanyue also came to the temple to visit my master. Wang Tanyue passed by here on his way back from Jingkou to Jiankang."
Chen Caozhi felt refreshed when he heard that Wang Xizhi was also in the temple. Wang Xizhi is one of the two people Eastern Jin will be most remembered by future generations. The other is Xie An, Wang Xizhi is famous throughout the ages because of his vigorous penmanship; Xie An is famous for his extraordinary magnanimity and ability to turn the tide of adversity and his fame has been passed down for generations; Eastern Jin's romantic style is embodied in these two people--
Chen Caozhi and Xie An met once, but they parted ways in a hurry, which is a pity, and Wang Xizhi has never been seen before. I thought that when I entered Jiankang, I would be able to meet Sage of Calligraphy, who loves geese, fanned books for old women, and resigned from his job to travel around the world. Wang Xizhi, but I went to Jingkou. I didn't expect to meet Tang Mountain Dong'an Temple today!
Lu Weiwei was always paying attention to Chen Caozhi, and then said softly, "Master Chen can ask the prince who is the best in calligraphy for calligraphy lessons."
Chen Caozhi smiled and said, "Of course you can't miss this, but the most important thing is to go see Jewel Magnolia."
Lu Weiwei blushed on his cheeks and said, "It doesn't matter if you look at Jewel Magnolia, I also like calligraphy very much."
Zhi Fahan, the two senior brothers were in front, and Chen Caozhi accompanied Lady Lu and Lu Weiwei behind. When entering the mountain gate, they saw a small and elegant temple on the hillside, with three couplets in the main hall, more than ten monasteries, and several thatched cottages.
Zhi Fahan's junior brother went to the temple to report to Master Zhi Daolin. Zhi Fahan accompanied Chen Caozhi, Lady Lu and Lu Weiwei was about to enter the palace to pay his respects, but he heard noises coming from behind Buddhist Temple, and someone said, "Large-character Bangshu, only my young man can write it in this world!"
