"Mr. Ding Daru's book, too?" Chen Qingxuan was obviously surprised, and then there was an undisguised surprise. In such a remote place as ningguta, he seldom met a confidant. Now he sat on the edge of the Kang and talked with Zhong Mingwei, "this book is the most proud masterpiece of Ding Daru. In his early twenties, Ding Daru had written such a great work. Qing Dynasty Xuan has always admired Ding Daru most. I didn't expect that he liked Ding Daru's books. I'm really a confidant. "

Ding Yunwen, the most famous scholar in the Zhou Dynasty, has great prestige among scholars. Naturally, Ding Yunwen is also Zhong Mingwei's Taifu and his father-in-law Taishan.

"Ding Daru's most proud masterpiece is not this one." Zhong Mingwei stared at the yellow book and continued as he gently opened a page.

Although there is only a thin volume of this book, it covers all kinds of things. From Yao and Shun to the current Dynasty, it can be said that it has written all the dynasties and celebrities of ancient and modern times. When the book was completed, Ding Yunwen was in his early twenties, which is really unparalleled in the world. This book also established the position of Ding Yunwen in the literary circle of the Zhou Dynasty.

As a disciple of Ding Yunwen, Zhong Mingwei knows him better than others. This book, general history of ancient and modern times, was never mentioned by Ding Yunwen. Zhong Mingwei has always been curious about this matter, but Ding Yunwen never explained it. He was drunk once before and then poured out the original reason. General history of ancient and modern times, which has been glorious for thousands of years, does not involve the dynasty At that time, Ding Yunwen, who was subversive, suffered from the suffering of the common people, and was born in a young and vigorous aristocracy, didn't realize this. But at that time, Ding Yunwen, who entered the middle-aged court, was increasingly ashamed of this. Therefore, he never mentioned this famous "general history of ancient and modern times".

"Do you know Ding Daru, sir?" Chen Qingxuan was stunned and looked at Zhong Mingwei.

Zhong Mingwei did not speak, looked up at Chen Qingxuan, and then continued to look at the book "general history of ancient and modern times", which is the default.

Chen Qingxuan was a little confused. He thought of ah Chou saying that they were from the capital and guessed that they were the Ninggu pagoda demoted by the court in the early morning. At this time, he thought again. Zhong Mingwei recognized that Ding Yunwen was not impossible, but that he was a real prince Fu. He could know Ding Yunwen. Naturally, he was not an ordinary person.

Chen Qingxuan looked at Zhong Mingwei up and down. He only felt that Zhong Mingwei was oppressed by his high position for a long time. At this time, he felt more profound, but

What does this have to do with him?

Today, they are neighbors or people of the same status. No matter how high official and rich Zhong Mingwei used to be, they have nothing to do with the present, nor will they affect such neighborhood exchanges.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. The reason why I study hard in these years is that I'm lucky to see Ding Daru one day when I can go to Beijing for the exam," Chen Qingxuan said with a smile, while sighing. "But now that Ding Daru has left Beijing and traveled all over the world, I can really go to Beijing for the exam, and I can't see him."

Zhong Mingwei was shocked and looked up at Chen Qingxuan suddenly: "did Ding Daru leave Beijing? When will it be? "

"It was more than half a year ago," Chen Qingxuan said. "It is said that after the fall of the old prince, Ding Daru asked himself to hang up the crown. The long live master could not retain him for several times. At last, he had to accept Ding Daru's resignation. Ding Daru left Beijing without any further information."

"Is the news reliable?" Zhong Mingwei frowned, his tone heavy.

"It's reliable. It's said by the magistrate himself. It must be true," Chen Qingxuan nodded. He shouldn't have said this to Zhong Mingwei, but looking at Zhong Mingwei's face, he said, "magistrate Fang and Ding Daru are old friends. They are worried about Ding Daru's situation. They once sent a letter to the capital to inquire. But Ding Daru had left the capital at that time, and they didn't receive any knowledge It's a letter from the official, so the official also knows that Ding Daru is away from Beijing and doesn't know where he is going. "

Zhong Mingwei looked at the yellow book "general history of ancient and modern times" with some loss, and sighed softly for a while: "it's better not to go back."
