I have to say that the month I spent with Mr. Qian was the most fulfilling period after Xu Yan came to the Ming Dynasty.

He turned a blind eye to the things outside the window and only read the books of sages.

At Gushan Academy, I read, practice calligraphy and write articles every day, and I feel pain and happiness.

After a storm and storm, Xu Yan felt that the level of eight-legged essays could be seen by the naked eye.

The most important thing is that he can finally read his words...

So much so that when he wanted to say goodbye to his mentor, he felt very reluctant to leave.

Fortunately, Mr. Qian was quite good at seeing it, so he sent Xu Yan out of the academy and threatened that he would not come back to see him if he was not good at the county exam.

This is really...it doesn't give anyone a way out.

After saying goodbye to Mr. Qian, Xu Yan returned to Chen's mansion and prepared to pack up and return to Ningbo with Shuangxi.

As soon as he entered the mansion, he saw everyone with joy on his face and couldn't help but wonder what was wrong? Could it be that he was doing a marriage?

After finally finding Shuangxi for inquiries, I found out that it was the imperial court who sent the Jinyiwei from the capital and arrested the Admiral and Weaving Eunuch Sun Qing and went to Beijing to question.

Xu Yan suddenly realized.

After careful calculation, one month is enough to travel back and forth between Hangzhou and Beijing.

However, Emperor Jiajing issued such a decisive order to order the Jinyiwei to take people out of his expectations.

It seems that this Emperor Ming Dynasty really makes his face more important than anything else as depicted in history books. Sun Qing's mistake was that he beat someone to death as the emperor's confidant and insulted the emperor's reputation.

The emperor must not be wrong, so the eunuch can only take the blame.

Of course, Zhejiang Governor Zhu Wan must have played a crucial role in it. Otherwise, Emperor Jiajing would not have issued an order so quickly.

Xu Yan was quite satisfied with this result.

In fact, at the beginning, he just hoped to save his grandfather. Who would have thought that Sun Qing was used to being domineering and indulging his subordinates to hurt people's lives?

It is impossible for Zhu Wan to endure it. Xu Yan doesn't need to worry too much. This governor will impeach Sun Qing.

Emperor Jiajing was extremely cautious about eunuchs. The eunuchs in the palace were all wearing tails and dared not go beyond the slightest.

It is conceivable how angry Emperor Jiajing would be when he learned that the eunuchs he sent to supervise the weaving in Hangzhou were so domineering.

When he learned that his nephew was back, Chen Zongzhi rushed over surrounded by servants.

"Brother Qiu, do you know that the old castrated man has been arrested and brought to the capital. My Chen family finally doesn't have to live a life of worry anymore!"

Xu Yan smiled and said, "Uncle, I already know. Sun Qing is a man of evil and takes it upon himself. The emperor is wise and naturally he will not allow him to harm the people like this."

Chen Zongzhi laughed and said, "Thanks to you this time, our Chen family owe you a favor."

Xu Yan waved his hand quickly and said, "It's all a family, and my uncle really got away with me if he said that."

"Well, why are you coming back suddenly? Did Mr. Oyama have instructions?"

"The county examination is imminent, and I can't stay in Hangzhou anymore. I have to go back to Ningbo a few days in advance to prepare for the exam."

Xu Yan explained.

"So that's it." Chen Zongzhi nodded and said, "It's not too early today. Even if you rent a boat, you can't get back. Why don't you wait until the morning to set off tomorrow?"

Xu Yan nodded: "I'm just thinking that way, too."

"Since that's the case, the old man will go to Lingyin Temple to fulfill his wish later. You can go with him."

Although I really couldn't be interested in making a wish and fulfilling it, since my uncle invited me to Xu Yan, I had to accept it.

......

......

Lingyin Temple was first built in the first year of Xianhe in Emperor Cheng of Jin, and it was extremely prosperous during the Tang and Song dynasties.

During the Yuan Dynasty, Lingyin Temple was destroyed due to an accident. The current Lingyin Temple was rebuilt during the Hongwu period of this dynasty.

Because it is a thousand-year-old temple, the incense in Lingyin Temple has always been very popular.

My grandfather believed in Buddhism and Xu Yan knew that Chen Mansion even built a Buddhist temple for daily worship and making wishes.

But he just learned from his uncle that his grandfather Chen Han was the contributor of Lingyin Temple, and he would donate 10,000 taels of incense money every year.

Lingyin Temple must have a much more enthusiastic attitude towards the offerors than ordinary pilgrims.

The moment he stepped into the mountain gate, Xu Yan realized this.

As it had just rained, the stone road was very slippery. The monks even laid blankets to prevent Mr. Chen and his group from slipping and falling.

This service was so enthusiastic that Xu Yan couldn't help but think of a hot pot restaurant in later generations.

Although he himself did not believe in Buddhism, he still fully respected his grandfather's choice.

Since my grandfather is coming to fulfill his wish, he naturally has to accompany him.

The mountains are quiet and the rain is sunny after the rain. Chen Zongzhi was in a good mood and recited:

"The temple is in the new autumn in front of the peak and behind the peak, and the high windows on the top are visible to Wozhou.

People hear crickets in peace, and cranes hang macaques from their habitat.

The mountain bell crosses the river at night, and the moon rises from the ancient stone building.

My memories are suspended and my sails are in an attempt, and Mr. Xie traveled here in the past years."

Jia Dao's poems are indeed very artistic, which makes Xu Yan also poetic.

"When Nian Temple in Lingyin, the green mountains open to this place.

The stream flows continuously, and the peaks and stones fly from here.

Bamboo covers Kongwang Garden, and Flowers Cang Dashi Platform.

There is mystery in the underworld, so don’t send the sunset to urge you.”

He picked up a five-character regulated verse at will, which really shocked Chen Zongzhi.

This nephew is really good at writing poetry, and he is really a little bit stingy.

"Oh, my good grandson, your ability is enviable. If your uncle can be half of you, grandpa will be content."

Chen Zongzhi muttered aggrievedly: "Dad, you have a specialty in your profession. Although your son is not good at studying, he is good at doing business."

Unexpectedly, Mr. Chen rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, it's not the foundation I have built for you. Okay, you're waiting outside and let your good grandson accompany me in to fulfill your wish."

Xu Yan was a little amused and nodded to his uncle, and then followed his grandfather into the main hall.

The old man was still very pious. After sipping the fragrance, he knelt down in front of the cushion, closed his hands and closed his eyes to fulfill his wish.

Although I don’t know what grandfather wished, Xu Yan was still a little moved.

Maybe this is the power of faith.

When Mr. Chen paid his wish, Xu Yan hurriedly stepped forward and helped his grandfather up.

But Chen Hanyouyou said, "Good grandson, my grandfather not only returned his wish, but also made another wish. Do you know what it is?"

"The grandson doesn't know."

Xu Yan said obediently.

"Ahem. You are already fifteen years old this year? You are not young anymore. Grandpa, I just made a wish, hoping that you can get married as soon as possible."

After a moment of pause, Mr. Chen stroked his beard and smiled: "Grandpa is sincere, and his wish is very effective."

Xu Yan was frightened silly when he heard this.

Grandpa is really not shocking to speak. He is only fifteen years old and is at the age of getting married?

I am a little educated, so don’t lie to me!
