Zhai Zhu

My grandfather is very eccentric, performing daily rituals of offering incense to himself, standing in front of his own spirit tablet and eating candles.
Villagers are fearful of my grandfather.
I am fearful of him too.
Later, I discovered that what they were afraid of was not my grandfather, but me.
Even grandfather is afraid of me.
...
My name is Chen Shi.
The Chen of honesty, the Shi of sincerity.

Above the Great Dao

Chen Shi followed them to the second floor of Xuanwu Pavilion. The second floor was where the family banquet of the County Magistrate Yan Jingsi was held, divided into internal and external dining areas. The outside was for the Yan Family members of lower status, while the inside was for Yan Rong and others to dine with the County Magistrate Yan Jingsi.


As for the female family members, they were not allowed to dine in Xuanwu Pavilion.


—— The Yan Family indeed had many rules.


Chen Shi followed the crowd to a nearby tea room, which had a banner hanging with the words "Conduct Yourself" written in a vigorous and powerful Thin Gold style calligraphy.


"This is my uncle's handwriting. My uncle has always been skilled in calligraphy," Yan Rong said with a smile.


Chen Shi gently nodded and said, "Conduct Yourself. One must have integrity and responsibilities, have a backbone, and differentiate between what should and should not be done."
