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 took the lantern and saw that on the side facing him were written the words "Be Cautious," and on the back were the words "Minute Details."


Chen Tang said, "You became an official at the age of thirteen. If you are not cautious, you'll be caught by someone with leverage against you. These four words are a mutual reminder for both of us."


Chen Shi examined the four words, fell silent for a moment, and said, "Chen Tang, I won't cause you any trouble."


After returning home and having dinner, Chen Shi went back to his room and saw a set of ambassador's official uniforms by the bed, with two additional sets for changing in the cabinet.


The next morning, Chen Shi put on his official uniform. Chen Tang did not command anyone to come over but arranged for Sun Yisheng to lead him to the Ministry of Revenue.
