But unexpectedly, Chen Mo ordered the man to move two chairs and ask the young woman to sit down. Then he bowed to Chen He who came forward and said, "My son is unfilial. My father is very happy. My younger brother has never returned to his hometown to congratulate him when he was born. I feel extremely guilty. Today, relatives and friends gather together. The child dared to invite his father to come and sit with his aunt so that the child can make up for this gift."
Chen He was at a loss and said, "This is not necessary, just be sure, just be sure to get your mind." The woman also stood up and whispered, "Young Master, don't kill me."
He looked at Mr. Shen and Mr. Yin in a silent way, meaning that it was your two of you to go. Mr. Shen smiled and said, "Brother, the child is always filial. You should bear it." Mr. Yin also smiled and said, "Yes, otherwise I would feel a regret in my heart. Please sit down." After the persuasion of the two old people, Chen He got up and sat on the chair.
Chen Si asked the woman to sit down again. But the woman couldn't dare to push her. She always knew the etiquette. If she was worshipped by silence today, she would be drowned by the spitting stars of Shaoxing people tomorrow. I am afraid that her family would say that she was ignorant and her mind was stuck.
So no matter how silently persuaded her, she refused to sit. In the end, Chen Heyuan said, "I'm so stupid, since"... she doesn't want to sit, don't force it." As she said, she said to the woman, "You just stand by me."
"The woman nodded and stopped making any more noises.
Silence no longer forces, kneels in front of them with a respectful gift.
Looking at his son who was politely saluted, Chen He's eyes were wet, and his son doubted his beloved mother. But the image of a dog, father and son has always been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. At least he himself has become accustomed to his son's strong dominance; but in this society where father and son are the leader, such a father-son relationship will undoubtedly bring him a lot of pressure and trouble. However, when Chen He thinks about everything his son has done for himself and for this family, he can't say anything about protest; in fact, he is willing to accept the status quo, but at some times and in some aspects, he always shows some reluctance, as if it can prove that he is still the head of the family.
Chen He had already understood this mentality of his father, but for a long time, he disagreed because he felt that the family had been living under someone else's house and could not eat enough. Later, it improved rapidly and soon became a big family in Shaoxing City. They all made their own efforts and hard work. What did Chen He do? What could he do? Even if he wanted to get an promotion, he had to treat guests and give gifts by himself!
So although I didn't say anything, I never treated my father with the standards of this era. For a moment, I came from later generations, so it was no big deal to deal with the father-son relationship with the perspective of later generations. The excuses came from self-comfort. But as he grew older and matured his psychology, especially after he became a father, he finally understood. For any man, especially a father, he needed more than just a rich and elegant dress and a light fur. He also needed authority, respect, and proved his strength. Otherwise, no matter how much wealth or honor he was, he could not make him truly happy.
It is precisely because he realized this and silently reflected on how he got along with his father. He finally realized that he was too selfish and always wanted to transform his father according to his "loving father and image, but never thought about his feelings. No man likes to be transformed by others. The reason why his father silently accepted his arrangements was largely because he loved him and did not want to make him sad; similarly, he also loved his father, how could he make his father unhappy?
So Chen Si put away his request for his father. He happily accepted the fact that he lied to himself, married a side house, and even added a little brother to him..." Although these still made him very uncomfortable, his father sacrificed so much for him, and what was his discomfort? So after understanding the situation, he personally went to bring the mother and mother, then invited relatives and friends to testify, and respectfully made up for He Qishan
The reason why he was so solemn was due to three considerations. First, Chen He was afraid of his son's rumors, which had become a joke in Shaoxing City. By doing so, he could tell the people of Shaoxing that it was just a joke. Chen He had no need to go through the consent of anyone; at the same time, it was also for himself "... to force his father to secretly take a concubine. This was a manifestation of unfilial piety at that time. Once someone showed up and used it for his work, he might be letting himself be cowardly. Since he had great ambitions in his heart, he had to pay attention to these minor matters and not ruin big things.
The third is to give the father a happy woman. "The old husband and young wife are prone to problems. Chen He's secret action will definitely make the "Little Mom feels unhappy and will inevitably be angry with Shen Heshu in the future, so she is silent to settle this matter so that the woman feels respected, and she will not be upset in her heart, and serve her father well.
In order to increase the price of his father, he also showed great love for his younger brother and promised that he would arrange for him to go to the best academy in the future. Read to the best teacher: "Your knowledge is the best in the world...
Silently agreed happily: "Success, when my brother grows up, let him follow me to study."
Bi.,  Wang
The aunt was immediately very happy and thanked her for being grateful. But she also knew why she treated her like this. In the future, she would serve Chen He carefully, but she was also very knowledgeable. Of course, this is a story later."
In the afternoon of the same day, Chen Si boarded the passenger ship heading west. The thoughtful Shaburo was walking with him. Two days later, the ship entered Poyang Lake and prepared to sail from the lake into the Yangtze River. He rushed to Chengtian Prefecture, Jiangbei, where he met with the emperor's team.
Poyang Lake is Zhangze Lake. At this time, it has become the largest lake in the Ming Dynasty. The blue waves are rippling, vast and vast, the water and sky are connected, and the endless. The boat is on it, and the vast sea is as vast as the sea. It makes people feel relaxed and happy. Without the bumps of the sea, it makes people feel relaxed and comfortable. It really makes the journey a pleasant thing. Silence finally gets rid of the sorrow of parting. He ordered people to ask Shah Ruo to go to the deck and drink with him to enjoy the scenery.
Zabby was also thinking and wanted to change his brain, so he agreed happily. The two sat in the best view on the boat, sitting in three or five small cold dishes, one and a half pounds of old rice wine, while enjoying the picturesque beauty and whispering.
"Father, I see that you have been frowning for the past few days, as if you are worried." Silently said softly: "If it is convenient, it is better to tell me, maybe I can give you an idea."
"It's convenient, of course." Zappelou nodded and said, "I originally wanted to ask the adults, but I saw that the adults were not in a good mood these days, so I haven't asked."
"Now I'm in a good mood!, I smiled silently, "You ask."
"Okay, I'll say it." Zappelou nodded and said, "I have been in the Eastern World for twenty years, but I have not been able to find a suitable method. Let the East recognize the Jesus as the West and accept the grace of the Lord. Later, I realized that only by letting the Ming Dynasty, the sect leader of the Eastern World, accept Catholicism first, will it accept it. So I tried my best to come to the Ming Dynasty, and I was fortunate to meet the great masters and under your leadership, went to your hometown and met an elder there. He reminded me that only by letting the scholar-official class recognize me and praise me can my missionary cause be smoothly carried out.
He nodded silently and said, "That's true." These words were what he taught Mr. Shen, and of course he would not object.
"But how to do this?" Shabby shrugged and said, "I thought about it, but I don't know where to start." He said, "To be honest, our missionary work usually starts with the construction of the Tzu Chi, which has both relief and education functions. It attracts poor people to listen to us and spread the gospel of the Lord in order to get relief, and at the same time, it can also win us a good reputation."
He listened silently, thinking that this guy is still sincere.
"But there are almost no beggars in your country." Sha Meiliu said helplessly: "The elderly, orphans and disabled people can all get good relief. This is something we can't compare to, so this path cannot be understood."
My face turned red when I was silent, and I thought to myself that you didn’t go to the southwest, northwest, and Central Plains to see it. I guess you won’t be depressed.
Shabulu didn't know the silent little thoughts, and he still said with a distressed look on his face: "Even the usual methods are ineffective, I really don't know how to impress those scholars and officials. As far as I know, what the scholars and officials have studied in your life is the moral philosophy of Saint Confucius. Only by winning the exam in this area, gaining fame, or becoming a recognized great scholar can I get the "identity and respect" I need, and he sighed helplessly: "But I have inquired, my country does not allow foreigners to participate in the imperial examination, and I am forty years old this year. It is impossible to compare with those great scholars who have devoted themselves to this path all their lives." Sabulu said the depression in his heart like a bamboo tube pouring beans. Shabulu felt in a good mood
.
But Chen Si smiled and told him: "You are wrong. In fact, the philosophy of the Ming Dynasty is quite one-sided. There is almost no natural science, and these are the places where others are not as good as you." Seeing Shaburo was confused. Chen Si smiled and said: "Do you remember I told you about logic? What Ming Dynasty lacks the most is this, because it lacks the concept of logical rules. Therefore, when treating Confucius' moral philosophy, he did not consider the internal connection between each branch, but only took his own needs as the key, and arbitrarily split the words of the sage, which led to a series of chaos. "Give a simple example. Someone wants to explain that people should be respectful to wise men and seek advice from people who are not as good as themselves, and they will quote Confucius: "If three people walk, there must be my teacher. Choose the good ones and follow them, and change them with their bad ones." But when he wants to explain that when birds of a feather flock together, he can also use Confucius' "Why aren't it contradictory to those who have no friends than themselves?" and sighed: "It is precisely because of the support of logic that the disciples of the saints have been wandering around in circles, falling into sophistry and misunderstandings and cannot extricate themselves."
"You mean, let me teach them logic?" Zaphrod asked softly.
"You said they lack logic, and they said you have no knowledge." Chen shook his head and said, "Don't worry about this, let them convince you first." As he said, he pointed out the direction for Shappuo and said, "The Ming Dynasty has lagged behind the West in modern sciences such as astronomy and geometry. One thing that is very beneficial to both of us is that the scholars and officials of the Ming Dynasty have a strong desire for knowledge, especially those who like novel things. Do you see if you can use this as a breakthrough to let them understand the changes in the world, and then teach them those new sciences, and when they know their ignorance, they will naturally admire you. When the time for your mission is ripe, my scholars and officials of the Ming Dynasty will broaden their horizons. This win-win situation is something we all want to see, right?"
After hearing the silent words, Zabby thought for a long time and finally nodded, "If this is the case, that would be great."
"Then let's cheer for a win-win situation." Silent raised his glass.
"I respect you sir!" Zabulu quickly raised his glass.
After reaching a consensus, Chen Si discussed specific measures with Xavier, such as quickly writing a letter to the Holy See, and ordered them to send more learned scholars to bring Western Qijia to support him; they obtained his long-term residence in the Ming Dynasty and provided convenient conditions for contact with scholars and officials, etc.
The two of them spoke excitedly, and suddenly felt that the ship was not so stable. Chen Si came to his senses. Seeing that the sky was cloudless, it was not like the wind was rising, and then he asked, "What's going on?"
Sanchi quickly went down to inquire. After a while, he replied: "The bow of the boat said that when he walked to the north of Hubei, the lake surface became narrower and the water flow became faster because it was unstable." Nodded silently and said: "I knew it but saw Sanchi still standing there with a hesitant expression, as if there was still something else.
"Speak quickly and look at him silently. If it weren't for the foreign friends, the second half would be indispensable.
"Oh," Sanchi said, "That's the matter. The bow of the boat said, "You must prepare. When you arrive at the Laoye Temple in Duchang County later, you will have to worship the King of Dingjiang."
"What is Dingjiang King?" Chen Mo asked with a frown. Although he never said that, he was very resistant to those strange powers and chaotic gods.
"This, that" Sanchi grunted for a long time, but didn't say anything, and slapped his thigh and said, "What's the point of asking the bow to say it yourself."
% ratio, positive
"Then go." Jian said with a silent look.
After a while, Sanchi brought an honest man up. He was not a silent person. He walked into Poyang Lake and was worried that the lake would be lost. The guide hired in Poyang County, named Han and Xing Lao Liu, immediately saluted respectfully when he saw the silent, and called him the young master.
Silently asked him with a smile, "Old Han, you said you want to sacrifice to King Mo Dingjiang. What's going on? Can you tell me?"
"Young Master doesn't know that in this northern area of ​​Pengze, there is a water area that looks like a triangle and is fifty-mile long. It is the temple of Dingjiang King." Han Laoliu kowtowed to the north with a serious face, and then said: "It is said that in the late Yuan Dynasty, my Emperor Taizu and Chen Youliang fought to the death in Poyang Lake. Thousands of warships were mixed up. The king could not find Shuai, and Shuai could not find generals. As a result, Emperor Taizu's flagship was chased by Zhang Dingbian, the first general under Chen Youliang, and chased to that area of ​​water. He was about to be caught up. As a result, the battleship of Zhang Dingbian suddenly overturned; Taizu, who escaped the disaster, looked at it with his eyes. Look, it turned out to be a huge hail, which saved him in times of danger. Later, Taizu's death returned to the battlefield, and my Wu army was very energetic, and finally defeated Chen Youliang. Later, after Taizu became emperor, in order to thank Datou who saved his life, he built a temple in Shazhou next to that waters, and named him King Dingjiang." Speaking of this, Han Laoliu's expression became terrifying, and he said, "From then, the old man temple will kill a chicken and use chicken blood to sacrifice to King Dingjiang; if the rooster is not slaughtered or burn incense and worship Buddha, he will be killed by the ships who have no one to die."
The sound of eyes was sunny, and the silence made Han Laoliu stand up and laughed dryly: "Is this a legend or?"
"Of course it's true." Han Laoliu said anxiously: "We all know about living on the lake, but every year there are some foreign ships passing by. If they don't believe in this evil, they are all pulled down by the King of Dingjiang to the bottom of the lake and will never come back."
He heard the words silently, and looked at Shaburo again, but these guys pretended to be wood and did not express any opinions. He had to laugh a few times and said, "Since there is this custom, let's sacrifice it too. Isn't it just a rooster? Even if you thank King Dingjiang for saving Taizu."
Seeing that he was explained, Han Laoliu quickly went to prepare. After a stick of incense, he asked silently to go to the front deck and smiled silently: "You can make sacrifices, I don't have to go."
"What you want to go must be the most noble person on the boat to preach the priest." Han Laoliu insisted.
"Okay." In these things, silence is so good at following the flow of goodness.
The group went down to the deck, and it turned out that the table, incense, candles, conceals, and snacks were all ready, and of course there was a big rooster trapped into a rice dumpling.
Han Laoliu murmured to the north with a very pious expression. Then he asked Siren to give the King of Jiang to burn paper. He himself killed the chicken, poured the chicken blood into a bowl, and gave it to Siren: "Young Master, if you sprinkle this into the lake, we will be safe."
Silently walked away, sprinkled a bowl of chicken blood into the lake, handed the bowl back to Han Laoliu, and pretended to be relaxed: "We can go there, right?"
Han Laoliu looked at the sky and shook his head and said, "It's not OK. This section of the lake is safe when it meets Chou, Mao, Si, Wei, Bai, and Hai. Now it's Wu, and you'll be done when you go in."
Before he finished speaking, he saw a clutch passing by, heading towards the Dingjiang King's Taoist Temple in Han Laoliu's mouth, and then five more clutch ships followed and entered that section of water."
