The descendants of the people of Jiuxian Mountain, grateful to Chen Guoting, specially built a temple halfway up the mountain where Chen Guoting once farmed, which is now known as the "Chen Gong Temple." They also made a clay statue of Chen Guoting, who was named the God of Grace by the people and has been worshipped by generations since then.
"In that case, let's go." Zhao Huan waved his hand.
Everyone stood up and bid farewell to Chen Guoting with tears.
By the time the five of them had reached the foot of the mountain, it was already past noon, and everyone was feeling hungry.
"Your Majesty, why don't we have dinner at Lord Chen's place before leaving?" Cao Dongsheng asked.

"Your Majesty, why don't you build him a mansion here and give him some salary to live out his life?" Cao Dongsheng asked.
"Is that still called seclusion? If Chen Guoting was greedy for pleasure, he wouldn't be here. Remember, don't give him too much silver. Just say it's money I give him for tea. When his tea is grown, I will send someone to get the tea. Otherwise, if he gets angry, I will throw him out."
