Waking up from a lunch break, his thoughts swaying, the two established Mandarin duck themes: one is the salt officials Chen Zhiyun and Xu Can, and the other is Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman, it is difficult to decide which pair to write first, hesitate for a long time, so they take a casting conclusion.
A paper cast book "Dry River Street", a paper cast book "Humble Administrator's Garden", holding his breath and decisively taking a shot.
Before I could open the paper cast, I already had a premonition in my heart, and as soon as I opened it, sure enough, the words "Humble Administrator's Garden" were in sight.
A paper cast for the topic
Visitors will surely ask: Humble Administrator's Garden is a famous garden in Gusu, what does it have to do with this article?
Suzhou's gardens are the most popular in the world, and the Humble Administrator's Garden is the largest of the gardens, with the most wonderful layout and the best landscape, which is second to none.
Humble Administrator's Garden, originally the private residence of the Tang Dynasty poet Tortoise Mengzhi, was changed to Dahong Temple in the Yuan Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty Imperial History King Xianshi returned to Suzhou in frustration, bought the garden, hired a famous landscape teacher to build, Ming Zhengde in the early years of the beginning, the hall, the building, the pavilion, the Xuan sparse, there are thirty-six scenes, with water as the theme, "more than 200 acres of vast areas, Maoshu Quchi, Sex Jia Wuxia", showing the exquisite weather of jiangnan gardens.
Wang Xianchen took the Jin Dynasty Pan Yue's "Idle Residence Endowment" and "irrigated the garden with vegetables for the meal of the day and night,...... This is also the meaning of the humble one's government", and was named "Humble Administrator's Garden".
The Xu family lived in the garden for more than a hundred years, and in response to the saying that "three generations of wealth are not enough", the descendants of the eunuch family sat on the mountain and ate the sky, and the garden gradually abandoned.
In the fourth year of Ming Chongzhen (1631), Xu's descendants sold more than ten acres of wasteland in the east of the garden to Wang Xinyi, a servant of the Punishment Department.
Through Wang Xinyi's careful management, the arrangement of hills and ravines has been built with "Zhixiang Lou, Furong Pavilion, Panhong Xuan, Lan Xue Tang, Shushi Pavilion, Peach Blossom Ferry, Bamboo Fragrance Gallery, XiaoYue Platform, Wisteria Dock, Looking at the Pavilion Scenery", Lotus Pond Guang45 acres, there are Qifeng in the garden, and the mountain stone imitates the Emei Boardwalk.
After the Qing soldiers entered Gusu, the life of Xu's descendants was difficult to continue, and in the fifth year of Shunzhi (1648), the garden was sold for 2,000 taels of silver and sold to Haining Chen Zhiyi.
Just like the gimmick of the Suzhou commentary, "I heard the sound of the stairs, I did not see the guests", laying out the beauty of the Humble Administrator's Garden, the protagonist of this article, Chen Zhiyi, finally appeared.
The Ming Dynasty regime was crumbling, the smoke was everywhere, the Qing soldiers were driving straight in, and the people were in deep trouble, in addition to fleeing into the wilderness, who had the leisure to throw money and add a huge real estate?
Only the big guys of Haining!
In Jin Yong's "Book of Swords and Enmity", Qianlong said to Chen Jialuo: "You Haining Chen family, generations of hairpins, the prosperity of the name of the branch, the sea is incomparable." In the past three hundred years, there have been more than 200 jinshi and three zaifu people. Eleven officials, shangshu, waiters, inspectors, and envoys of the government are really outliers! ”
The Yanguan Chen Clan "One Gate and Three Pavilions Old" is Chen Zhixuan, Chen Yuanlong, chen Shikuo.
To this day, the Yongzheng Emperor's imperial gift of the magnificent Kowloon plaque of "Bowing to Labor and Training" has sealed Chen Xue's wife Cha Shi as Lady Yipin. The Kowloon plaque is still there.

Chen Zhi's father, Chen Zubao, was convicted of the crime of losing the city and imprisoned, and Chongzhen committed suicide by taking poison in prison on the eighth day of July in the twelfth year.
In the early years of the Qing Dynasty, Chen Zhiyi was heavily influenced by Dolgun and served as a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, the Right Attendant of the Rebbe, and the Left Imperial History of the Duchayuan.
Because of his dedication in office and his super ability, he was reused by the Shunzhi Emperor, and he was promoted to shangshu and prince Taibao of the Ministry of Ceremonies, and later transferred to the Shangshu of the Hubu Department.
In the ninth and twelfth years of Shunzhi, he was twice awarded the hongwenyuan university fellowship.
Chen Zhixuan's wife's name was Xu Can (徐灿), courtesy name Xiangping (湘蘋), (1618-1698), a native of Suzhou, and the second daughter of Xu Zimao of Guanglu.
Xu Can is extremely intelligent, has excellent poetry and painting, and is one of the "Five Sons of Banana Garden" in the Gusu literary circle.
Xu Can's marriage with Chen Zhixuan has a strange and interesting story.
One day, Chen Zhiyun was playing in the Gusu Garden, traveling to the Lingering Garden, the sky fell heavy rain, Chen Zhiqian avoided the rain for a long time, leaning in the garden in the haze and falling asleep, the Lingering Garden was the private garden outside the door of Xu Girl's zhang, Xu Can's father saw the handsome young man sleeping soundly on the Yuangan, he was greatly surprised, it turned out that last night Xu Father saw a white dragon in his dream, winding and coiling to the trunk of the garden lying on it, thinking, Is this young man not the dragon-riding son-in-law hinted by heaven?
Xu's father woke up Chen Zhikui, and in the middle of the conversation, he felt that he had learned extraordinaryly and talked well, so he gave his daughter Xu to Chen Zhiyi.
Xu Can was Chen Zhixuan's step-brother (originally with Shen's death from illness), and after marriage, the couple fell in love, and after traveling from her husband's eunuch, she was crowned Lady Yipin.
Xu Can's works include three volumes of "Humble Administrator's Garden Poetry", two volumes of "Humble Administrator's Garden Poetry Collection", and 246 poems, which still exist today.
In the two years of the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, Chen Zhiyi was proud of the spring breeze and was the best peak time in his life.
In the twelfth year of Shunzhi (1655), he offered three strategies to the emperor: one was to cultivate agricultural merits, two to forgive the troops, and three to save money. A solid policy was formulated for the establishment of the Qing court.
Usually, he made good friends with literary leaders Qian Qianyi and Wu Weiye, and sang and sang wine and banquets continuously.
From 1636 to 1639, she gave birth to one son a year and four sons in four years.
Chen Zhiyi's political arena is satisfactory, and the small family life in the capital is also comfortable and happy. Chen Zhixuan wrote a preface to his wife's poetry collection, writing: "In the western corner of the capital, the study room is numbered, quite spacious, and there is an ancient locust in front of it, and the shade is like a car." The back courtyard is wide for dozens of steps, and the middle is a small pavilion. A pre-court acacia tree, verdant and green, leaves opposite, night is intertwined, invading the morning is Shu, summer moon spit flowers like vermilion. ”
Chen Zhiyi's poems mention several times the acacia tree in the courtyard of the flower leaf Fusu, which is a love of things, the couple love "Yong Yong", in their leisure time, the two under the acacia tree in the courtyard, while tasting fine wine, while chanting poetry, these two years, is the immortal mandarin couple will never forget the good years.
Chen Zhiyi's poem said: "In those years, there were many places of joy, and Yaohua Yuluan greeted his eyes." Day and night are written in the clouds and snow, and people do not believe in sorrow. ...... Only the amorous years, long illumination of Fangzhou. ”
Xu Can also sang the woman's song: "Remember the bottom of the Hehuan tree patrol, once folded red silk around the treasure bun."
Lord Chen smiled and squinted, and decorated the beautiful red silk flowers of the acacia tree on his wife's dark and shiny bun, how could he imagine that a bloody storm in the political arena was about to come.
In the thirteenth year of Shunzhi, Chen Zhiyi was accused of "forming a party for personal gain" and exiled to Shengjing (Shenyang), but was soon reinstated. Because of the "bribery of Wu Liangfu", he was spared from death and dismissed from his post, and he had no family property and "never used it."
Suzhou's newly renovated Humble Administrator's Garden, although beautiful, but Chen Zhixuan was an official outside, did not have time to enjoy, but it was overturned, not for the official.
Nearly 200 people in the family, together with their old mother, brothers, and wives, were exiled to Shangyang Fort (Kaiyuan East, Liaoning).
In the remote and bitter cold exile land, there was a lack of medical treatment and medicine, and four children died one after another, and in the fifth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1666), Chen Zhiyi died of illness after nine years of suffering, at the age of 62, and died in the exile apartment.
According to the Draft History of the Qing Dynasty. The Biography of Chen Zhi's Wife Xu: "In the Tenth Year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1671), Saint Zu toured the East, and Xu knelt beside chen,
On the question "Would rather have a grievance?" ”
Xu Yue: "The ancestors only know and think, how dare they speak out." Fu Weisheng restored the benevolence, Xu Xianchen returned to the bone. ”
He was ordered to be buried.
According to the laws of the Great Qing Dynasty, the bones of those who have been degraded are not allowed to return to their hometowns. Only Lady Xu was so careless that Kangxi made a special case and granted it.
Chen Zhikui's tomb is in Gaoyang Mountain, Haining.
After the burial, Lady Xu "practiced cloth and embroidered the Buddha for a long time".
At this point, the author has mixed feelings.
And based on Xu Xiangping's "Man Jiang Hong. "There is a sense" as the ending:
After the chaos of the country, it is really difficult to say that the intention is sad.
Spring will go, the ice platform will grow, and the money will overlap.
The embers of the water are still tired, and the small windows are about the clouds and the moon.
Sigh life, compete like a lotus in the water, and the heart is knotted.
Parting tears, full of blood.
The flow is endless, and the waves are added to the throat.
See the hong return to the battle, several increases and misery.
Cui Dai every time from the green mirror is reduced, the gold is lacking to the head of the bed.
Ask this spring, once dreamed of the countryside, frightened.
