Selected Stories of Tongzhi Bamboo Slips (manuscript) 1 15

115, the beginning of the week has changed.

At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, Zi Ziyin was born in Yixing, Soochow (now Yixing, Jiangsu). At the beginning of the week, I studied martial arts with my father since childhood. His father Zhou Fu was the prefect of Poyang in Dongwu during the Three Kingdoms period. Later, Zhou Chu's father died unfortunately, and his mother had to lead Zhou Chu back to her hometown of Yixing.

Mother and son lived alone in Yixing, but two years later, mother died from overwork and soon died. At the beginning of the week, I lost my parents prematurely, and I was out of control. I wandered around all day, riding horses and hunting, and I didn't want to study.

One day, several old people were talking sadly on the long bridge. When they saw Zhou Chu coming from a distance, they sighed and dispersed. At the beginning of the week, he walked over and grabbed an old man and asked, "The weather is good this year, and a bumper harvest is in sight. Why are you all so sad? " The old man was silent.
