Chapter 90 Completion (as the starting point of 515-18)
With the successful holding of the Wenchangguan Great Fast Festival, all the courses in the first lecture hall were completed. There were only a few days before the Zhengdan Festival in the 29th year of Jiajing. The Daolu Division announced the end of their studies and informed all the monks that they could
Returned home.
Zhao Ranfeifu asked the teacher and found out that the talks at Hongze Lake went smoothly, so he made an appointment to meet at Baoyue Villa and then returned to Songfan together.
Zhao Ran originally wanted to take Pei Zhongze back with him on Qingyu Baoyi, but Pei Zhongze said he wanted to walk around on the road and see some friends, so Zhao Ran sent him down to Jilong Mountain, and the two of them would go shopping together.
Boat and return.
The monks didn't have any bulky luggage to pack. Even if they did, it wouldn't take much time. They could just stuff it all into storage instruments. In addition, as the New Year was approaching, everyone was eager to go back, so in the early afternoon, the rooster crowed.
Most of the people left the temple, and towards evening it was almost deserted.
Zhao Ran stood guard at the gate, sending away the classmates who had been together for six months one by one, leaving each other's contact information, and then planned to go to Baoyue Villa to wait for the teacher.
When he was about to leave, he saw Li Dayin rushing over, pulling Zhao Ran and saying: "Zhiran, wait a moment, I have something to discuss with you."
So the two of them returned to Jingyang Tower, and Zhao Ran asked: "Li Fuyin came here so late, what's the important matter?"
Li Dayin said: "That's right, the regional auditions for next year's training ball spring competition are about to begin. According to the news I received here, the monks are very enthusiastic to participate. Just the news reported back by "Inside and Outside the Imperial City"
, there are more than 2,000 monks participating in the eastern audition..."
Zhao Ran was also a little surprised: "There will be so many?"
Last year, only a thousand people signed up for the auditions in the entire Ming Dynasty, Beijing, and thirteen provinces. This year, there are currently more than two thousand people in the Eastern Sea District alone, which is too much.
Li Dayin nodded: "The registration receipts are on the attachment pages of several periodicals. The sales volume of these two issues of "Inside and Outside the Imperial City" has increased sharply. The editorial department believes that they are basically for the registration receipts."
Zhao Ran nodded and encouraged: "Li Fuyin is very busy this year. Congratulations. The practice ball competition is becoming more and more popular. Li Fuyin has contributed a lot."
Li Dayin smiled bitterly and said: "I don't think about whether it's popular or not. Now I'm worried about messing up the matter and ruining this golden brand."
"What does Li Fuyin mean?"
"Can Zhiran stay and help me? At least help me finish the spring competition first? To be honest, if there was no Zhiran in the last winter competition, I really don’t know if it would have been possible. I have discovered that I
I really have some great ambitions but few talents. I originally thought that hosting a training ball game would be mediocre, but when I actually started hosting it, I realized that the process involved was too deep, especially various emergencies. Many things I still have lingering fears about. As long as Zhiran stays in Beijing.
Three months, Zhiran can go back in April. Of course, it would be best if he could stay for half a year..."
Zhao Ran sighed: "I really want to stay and help Li Fuyin, but my duty is to return to Sichuan. I am the abbot of Tianhe Palace. It is unreasonable for me not to return to Songfan. It will not only affect Songfan's credibility, but also
It is even more contrary to the strict orders of the General View. Furthermore, how can we explain that an abbot of Tianhe Palace stayed in the capital for several months without doing anything in his duties? Just to hold a practice ball competition? There is no such reason in the world."
Li Dayin said anxiously: "I have thought about it all, do you think this is good for Zhiran? Zhiran did extremely well in this period of training in the lecture hall, and he is also well-known among his classmates. I have already made a pledge to Elder Zhengyin Jinghui.
I recommended Zhiran to be the deputy seal of the Daolu Department. I believe that with Zhiran’s ability, he will be able to run the lecture hall very well. Elder Jinghui also agreed..."
Zhao Ran politely said: "How can I take advantage of your position as Li Fuyin? Please forgive me for not being able to obey your orders even if I die!"
Li Dayin said: "If you don't want to take it, I plan to ask the teacher for permission to set up another deputy seal in the Daolu Department to take charge of academic teaching. I will be free to take care of the food, drink, and diarrhea. This deputy seal of teaching
So I asked Zhiran to take up the post and rank above me in the Daolu Department. What does Zhiran think?"
Zhao Ran was completely unprepared mentally. Compared with being the deputy seal of the Daolu Division, he would definitely choose the abbot of Tianhe Palace. This was a matter of great merit and merit and had nothing to do with the position. Therefore, he still did not agree.
Li Dayin was still pestering him, asking repeatedly about Zhao Ran's plans. Zhao Ran was tired of it, so he simply told Li Dayin that his main goal was to do things for the people, and that this matter was related to spiritual practice, and there was no other way to solve it.
At the same time, he also comforted Li Dayin and said that we are so familiar with each other. Is there anything that cannot be solved by flying talismans? When encountering a problem, wouldn’t a flying talisman be enough? I will definitely try my best. After all, the training ball belongs to the three of us.
Those who pulled it up with one hand included my shares, and I would not sit idly by. After some talking, I finally managed to coax Li Dayin down the mountain. Seeing that Li Dayin was gone and out of sight, I rushed to Baoyue Villa overnight.
Prepare to run away when the teacher comes back.
In the evening, the teacher finally came back with the third senior brother and Linglu Yuyang. He briefly talked about the experience of the trip and explained some additional details that he and the Lord of Hongze had reached in the future. Zhao Ran then
He told Yuyang: "You have caused such a big trouble this time. You can only wait until you get married. Just calm down. You can't play around anymore. From today on, you will stay at Baoyue Villa. You can't go anywhere."
Don't go, otherwise I won't be able to help you if you cause any trouble, do you understand?"
Yu Yang looked at Zhao Ran aggrievedly: "Abbot Zhao, are you just going to leave me here by myself? There are still more than three months before we get married. Can you let me go out for a walk first? Even if I go back to Songfan.
Baoyue Villa is so big that I can’t even run two laps for a small repair. It’s really uncomfortable.”
Zhao Ran said with a straight face: "Have you forgotten what Lord Hongze said?"
Yuyang said: "He just asked me to stay in the capital..."
"Huh? Have you learned to talk back? I tell you, you must stay here, be quiet and quiet before getting married, and learn to calm down. Otherwise, you will die without knowing how. If your future brother-in-law finds out, I'm afraid
I really beat you!"
Yuyang muttered: "He doesn't have this ability yet, but he just relies on more to win. Taoist Master, it's really boring here. How about I follow you and go wherever you go? That's okay, right? Xiao Xiu, I know now
What is the handover committee? How about letting Xiao Xiu perform his real duties? No matter what, you can't just leave Xiao Xiu here and walk away."
Zhao Ran was not happy anymore and said: "Oh, you can do it, Yuyang, you have found an old father-in-law who has a hard time, isn't it? I just left you here and left. If you want to die, just go out and play."
Yours is healed, don’t blame me for being far away when the time comes, so I won’t be able to save you in a hurry!”
After saying that, he ignored Yuyang, turned around and jumped on the Qingyu Treasure Wings. As soon as he jumped on the Qingyu Treasure Wings, a white light circled around Zhao Ran's head. Zhao Ran put away the flying talisman and read it, dumbfounded and helpless.
He said to Jiang Tenghe: "Teacher, why don't you go back first? Dongfang Li asked me to come over. He is in the capital now."
