Zhu Xi admired Qu Yuan's loyalty to the country's sincerity, but also to the age of the people far away from the "Chu Ci" sparse. He whispered the last sentence of "Shibu Jiang": "Man Yu eyes to flow view Ruoxi. When will I be able to do so? Birds fly back to their hometowns, and foxes die in the head of the hill. Letter is not my crime and abandonment of Ruoxi, why day and night and forget it?" Zhu Xi he opened the frozen pen wrote: "the first hill, said to head pillow hill and die, do not forget its self-born also. Rites" said: big birds and beasts table its group of horses. Yue Yue metaphorical time, then will be anti-patrol, over its hometown. Also said: music, music of its own birth. Rite, do not forget its roots. The ancients have said: the fox is dead, is the first hill, also benevolent." Just finished writing, suddenly feel the whole body warm and melting, such as bathing in spring. Such as wearing a heavy fur, Zhu Xi was delighted exceptionally, could not help but dance up. Only to find that the heel of a furry thing, raise a light, the original table for the ambush of a fox. Since then, whenever the night is quiet. Fox will be snuggled under the table for him to warm his feet, Zhu Xi body fluent, the idea springs, three months time manuscripts cum case full box, eight volumes of "Chu Rhetoric set of pawns" finished draft.

I do not realize that the end of winter and spring, full of bright spring.

After a walk, dry mouth and tongue. See the roadside there is a thatched tea store, the signboard is written: "Shouchun" two words. Store three or two guests are tasting tea and laughing, Zhu Xi called: "shopkeepers make a pot of tea." Shopkeeper is an old woman in her fifties, heard the call, rushed out of the room, full of smiles to greet: "Mr., I'm sorry, today's merchants, tea sold out, is burning it. Zhu Xi said, "Thirsty, come to a bowl of cool water." Shopkeepers to a bowl of water, Zhu Xi took was about to drink, the old lady from the action hill mouth handful of husks scattered in the bowl, Zhu Xi had no choice but to use his mouth to gently blow open the husk, slowly drink.

The old woman's teasing by the wild store, how to endure? He did not move on the surface, and the shopkeeper accosted; "Im, how many people in your family? The business is good?" The shopkeeper sighed and said: "The husband unfortunately died the year before last, leaving the mother and son to depend on each other, the son went to the mountains to cut firewood to go, this moment should also come back." The old woman saw Zhu Xi Ge towel cloth shirt, Confucian dress. Tentatively asked: "Mr. is a scholar? Can you read the earth's pulse? My husband has not yet been buried, please Mr. phase in the vicinity of a piece of residential land. Zhu Xi frowned, counting on the heart, letter hand to the opposite depression a finger, said: "Right now there is a piece of treasure can be buried your husband," Im thanked.

From the tea store out, Zhu Xi heart secretly laugh. He was good at feng shui, good at six non, opposite the depression of the "treasure land" is actually a "double turtle lock mouth" of the Jedi.

A few years later, Zhu Xi returned to Yung City from Lianjiang, and climbed the ridge, walked to the store, surprised, "Shou Chun" tea store into a "Zai Chun" inn, thatched roof into a tiled room, but also hung a wine curtain. Im full of spring to Zhu Xi into the store, steeped a pot of tea, and opened the hot wine, for him to wash the dust to receive the wind. The old woman said with a smile: "Mr., since my husband buried in the precious land you look after, business is exceptionally good, the year before last, built a large tiled house, expanding the store, attracting customers from all directions, the son also married a daughter-in-law, added two grandchildren.

Paused for a while, and then said: "Sir, this time is not like the last time you came to the scene, that time you want to drink tea, happened to sell out of water. You had to drink cold water. I saw you come up to the ridge panting and sweating profusely. I was afraid that you would get sick if you drank the cold water in one breath, so I sprinkled a handful of grain hulls into the water." A few words made Zhu Xi blush. His spine tingled. He ran to the door and carefully observed the opposite mountain, and sure enough, the mountain was clear and the earth was flourishing. Hillside can be seen there are two green dragons flying in the clouds, circling and flying in the fight for a large pearl, colorful shine, Ruiqi thousands of stripes. Zhu Xi is both ashamed and grateful.
