    Chen Yi sat on the carriage and looked at the scenery outside through the window, looking forward to meeting Wang Xizhi again.

    Due to various factors and the fact that he and Wang Xizhi met for the first time before, he was unable to chat at all, but the next time will be different.

    Wang Xizhi was born in a distinguished Wang family in Langya. His great-grandfather Wang Lanzeng and Wang Xiang in "Twenty-Four Filial Piety Pictures" were half-brothers.  His father, Wang Kuang, was the governor of Huainan.

    When it comes to official status, Wang Xizhi may not be as good as them, but when it comes to fame among the literati, Wang Xizhi is even better than them.

    There are many precious books, calligraphy and paintings in a small Donghua Temple. You can imagine how precious books, calligraphy and paintings there would be in the home of Wang Xizhi, a master of calligraphy.

    Not to mention other famous figures, just the authentic calligraphy of Wang Xizhi is enough to make Chen Yi extremely excited. At this moment, what he wants to see most is not the calligraphy and painting books of other celebrities, but the world's best lines written by Wang Xizhi himself.  Book, Preface to the Lanting Collection.

    The prefaces to the Lanting Anthology that have been handed down in the modern world are all copies from later generations. Among them, the best is recognized as the Shenlong Edition of the Lanting Anthology, which was a copy by Feng Chengsu of the Tang Dynasty. This person not only copied the Foreword to the Lanting Anthology, but also copied it before that.  Copied another calligraphy work by Wang Xizhi called Yue Yi Lun.

    Among the extant ink copies of the preface to the Lanting Collection, the Shenlong version is the most famous. Because there is a small seal of the Shenlong reign of Emperor Zhongzong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xian, on the front of the volume, it is called the Shenlong version to distinguish it from other copies. This copy is exquisite, Wang Xizhi's brushwork, and the ink style  .  The style and charm are all reflected, and it can be said that it is the strongest copy of Wang Xizhi's true meaning.

    This preface to the collection of Shenlongbenlanting can be said to be world-famous. It begins with the four-character seal of the Jin and Tang Dynasties personally inscribed by Emperor Qianlong.  The back paper has inscriptions and postscripts from 20 families from the Song to the Ming dynasties, as well as inscriptions and about 180 seals. It can be said that it has been widely circulated.

    Chen Yi also once viewed the copy of the Shenlong painting in the Palace Museum, and also copied it using copying techniques. This is just the insight he gained from it.  Most of them are just Feng Chengsu's own, and they contain very little Wang Xizhi's insights, which cannot be compared with the authentic Huang Ting Jing in his hand.

    He can’t wait to see this first-class calligraphy in the world with his own eyes, and then carefully appreciate and copy it, for a calligrapher.  Being able to see the authentic preface to Lanting's collection can be said to be a dream.

    After looking at the scenery for a while, Chen Yi's excitement slowly calmed down. Now that he is acquainted with Wang Xizhi, he will always have the opportunity to see those famous authentic works.

    The road from Donghua Temple to Jinting is not particularly good, but it is gentle all the way.  There were not many bumps, and the man driving the carriage was an ordinary person from the village at the foot of the mountain near Donghua Temple.  At the foot of the mountain, Donghua Temple also owned some land and property, and this person was employed by the Taoist temple.

    "Mr. Chen, we are almost at Jinting. Where are you planning to stay?" Chen Yi was sitting in the carriage with his eyes closed to relax.  A reminder came from outside.

    Chen Yi immediately opened his eyes and opened the curtain of the window in front.  I saw the outline of a town not far away appearing in front of me. Jinting is probably just a small town now.  Even in modern times, it is just Jinting Town.

    Wang Xizhi moved here just to seek peace and quiet. Otherwise, he would not have come to this small town from prosperous Wuxi.

    "Let's find an inn to stay first." Chen Yi said with a smile, first find a place to live, and then find someone to buy a house.

    "Okay." The man driving the carriage agreed, and then drove the carriage slowly into Jinting City.

    Chen Yi looked at the surrounding environment through the window on the side of the carriage. The Jinting was indeed very small. After entering the city, the road could only accommodate two carriages walking side by side.

    Although the city is small, it looks very lively. There are many vendors selling goods on both sides of the street, shouting hard.

    Soon, the carriage stopped, and the man driving the carriage reminded from the front: "Mr. Chen, the inn has arrived."

    Chen Yi responded, then got off the carriage and looked at the inn next to him. Unlike this narrow road, the inn was very grand, but if he thought about it carefully, he could get the answer.

    This Jinting is close to Shandi, and it can be said to be a good place for sightseeing. Many literati, or children of aristocratic families who come to Shandi to visit more or less will stay in Jinting, which naturally makes the Jinting Inn more popular.  Business is getting better.

    After he got off the carriage, the five white geese on it also flew down together and stood behind Chen Yi in a neat row.

    "Brother Liu, thank you very much. I have some scraps of money here, so?This is a gift to you.  "Chen Yi smiled, took out a small bag from his pocket, and handed it to the middle-aged man driving the carriage.

    The middle-aged man quickly shook his head and waved his hand, "Mr. Chen, I work for Taoist Qiu. If he pays me wages, you don't have to pay me anymore."

    "Haha, it's his, and I'm mine, just take it." With that said, Chen Yi stuffed the bag into the middle-aged man's hand, and then walked towards the inn with the five geese.

    Seeing this scene, the middle-aged man touched the cloth bag in his hand, opened it and took a look. When he saw the white broken silver inside, his face showed a touch of excitement, and then he held it tightly.  in hand.

    Chen Yi took the lead and entered the inn, while the five white geese were still neatly following behind. The passers-by looked at them with a look of surprise on their faces.

    "Hi, guest, you are here. Please come inside quickly. Go, go, where did the white goose come from? Come out quickly." Seeing Chen Yi, the waiter of the inn quickly walked up, but after noticing the white goose behind him,  He couldn't help but drive the goose away with his hands.

    "Don't chase them away. Didn't you see that they are following me? Is there a large, clean room? Give me one. It would be better if there is one with a yard." Chen Yi stretched out his hand to stop the waiter, and then  Said slowly.

    The waiter looked at Chen Yi in surprise, then at the five white geese behind him, and then said: "Sir, there are rooms with courtyards. But they are all three rooms connected together.  You alone"

    "Didn't you see there are five white geese here? I want this room with the courtyard." Chen Yi smiled faintly, then took out a piece of broken silver from his pocket and threw it to the waiter.

    The waiter quickly took it with his hands.  Seeing this piece of silver, his face showed joy, and then he bit it with his teeth. The smile on his face suddenly became stronger, "Sir, please come in quickly."

    Chen Yi smiled.  With five geese, he walked inside under the surprised eyes of everyone in the inn. This time he came to Wang Xizhi's copy world, and he specially brought some scraps of silver.  So that in this copy, you will no longer be trapped by money.

    The currency of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties was very confusing. Basically no new money was minted. They all used the five-baht coin issued by the Han Dynasty. Especially in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it was divided into six countries. The five-baht coin of this period was used.  In order to save copper, they are made smaller and smaller, with goose eyes.  It is called chicken eyes.

    ?????????????????? The casting is poor and the Cultural Revolution rate is poor, and the strokes are incomplete. Some even write five baht as hardware, and some write it as anti-literary baht five.

    The value of these five baht coins is naturally getting lower and lower. During this period, in addition to the number of coins.  People would use grain or cloth as currency to conduct buying and selling activities.

    besides.  Precious metals such as gold and silver are also occasionally used.  It's just that they are not circulated as currency, they are all made into jewelry.

    The pieces of silver that Chen Yi took out now are naturally more popular than the chaotic five baht coins.

    Then, he took the five white geese and followed the waiter to a residence with a yard at the back. After looking at the environment of the yard, he couldn't help but nodded. The environment was relatively elegant, but there was no pool.

    After arranging a room for Chen Yi, the waiter bowed politely and said, "Master, the room is ready. If you need anything, just call for me."

    Chen Yi smiled and threw another piece of silver to the waiter. When he saw the piece of silver, the waiter's eyes almost popped out of his head, "Sir, I don't know what your orders are." The waiter in the inn has no eyesight.  How can the price be OK?

    "You are the waiter at the inn, so you should be well-informed about this." Chen Yi asked with a slight smile.

    The waiter in the shop couldn't help but patted his chest, "Sir, don't worry, there is nothing in Jinting that a villain doesn't know about. If you need anything, just ask."

    "Oh, then do you know where Wang Youjun lives?" Chen Yi smiled and asked the most important purpose of coming to Jinting.

    Hearing Chen Yi's question, the waiter immediately smiled and said, "Sir, everyone in Jinting probably knows this question. Everyone knows it. Wang Youjun is a calligraphy master of the generation and is deeply respected by others. He moved to our Jinting last year. You can  It's our honor. Over the past year or so, eight out of ten literati and calligraphers living in the inn have been asking about him."

    "It's just Young Master, if you're unhappy, almost all of those who want to find Wang Youjun can't even get in. Although Wang Youjun is not an official now, it's not something that just anyone can see."

    "Of course, you can't see Wang Youjun, but you can still enjoy the scenery of Shandi. It is a worthwhile trip. If you want to go, I will take you there in a while. I don't know whether you can get in."

      Chen Yi smiled and nodded. He was very unfamiliar with this ancient Jinting. Even if the waiter pointed out the way, he would probably ask someone else later, "One more thing. Help me find a house in Jinting. How big or small is it?"  It doesn’t matter, but the layout inside must be clean, and there must be a pool. In addition, it should not be too far or too close to Wang Youjun’s place. I wonder if you can do it.”

    "Don't worry, sir. No matter which house is for sale, it cannot escape the hands of the villain. It will be wrapped up by the villain. When the time comes, you will just look at the house." The waiter of the store patted his chest again.

    "Okay, then we will visit Wang Youjun in a while. I wonder if you can leave this inn now." Chen Yi said good, and then asked the waiter. Now that he has come to Jinting, he naturally needs to visit as soon as possible.  Wang Xizhi.

    For him, time is money and cannot be wasted on unnecessary things.

    There was a look of surprise on the waiter's face, "Sir, are you going now? Why don't you make some preparations?" He knew that some scholars and young men from aristocratic families had gone to great lengths and carefully prepared some valuables in order to see Wang Xizhi.  one's gift.

    "No need to prepare." Chen Yifeng said calmly. He naturally knew what the waiter meant. He had Wang Xizhi's invitation, so there was no need to make other preparations.

    "In that case, please wait a moment, young master. I will explain it to the shopkeeper. I believe he will agree." The waiter nodded, then apologized to Chen Yi and left for the inn lobby.

    The piece of silver that Chen Yi threw to him when he entered the store just now was enough for many days of accommodation in this courtyard. The shopkeeper also asked him to take good care of Chen Yi, so there was no big problem in going out with Chen Yi.  .

    After the waiter left, Chen Yi came to the yard and played with the white geese for a while. At the same time, he took some food from the storage space to feed. These five white geese could choose to follow him, but naturally they could not.  Too bad.

    Although these five white geese can be placed in the storage living space, tea and other things are grown in that space. If these five geese are put in, there may not even be room to play.

    After playing with the five white geese for a while, the waiter came over and told Chen Yi that he had agreed with the shopkeeper that he could take Chen Yi to Wang Youjun's residence. However, from his perspective, Chen Yi probably  It is also the same as returning without success.

    Chen Yi smiled and nodded, and walked out with the waiter. At the same time, the five white geese also followed behind. Seeing this scene, the waiter couldn't help but asked: "Sir, I heard that Wang Youjun likes  White Goose, is this your gift?"

    "No, these white geese are not gifts. I want to take them to Wang Youjun's home to visit relatives." Chen Yi smiled lightly. Aren't the six white geese that followed Wang Xizhi away the relatives of these white geese.

    Hearing Chen Yi's words, the waiter in the store was shocked. He was visiting relatives. Could it be that Mr. Chen knew Wang Xizhi? He shook his head. At this age, it is still believable to know the children of Wang Xizhi's family, but it is absolutely impossible to know Wang Xizhi.

    After walking out of the inn, Chen Yi asked the waiter to find a carriage. It would take half a stick of incense to ride from the inn to where Wang Xizhi lived, which was more than ten minutes.

    Then, he took the white geese and got into the carriage, and also asked the waiter to sit in. Only the waiter quickly waved his hand and sat in front with the groom.

    As the carriage moved forward, Chen Yi's expectation became stronger and stronger. He was about to meet Wang Xizhi for the second time. This meeting would be the beginning of his learning and exchange with Wang Xizhi.  (To be continued)
