It has been seven years since Zhao Ran came to this world unknowingly. Zhao Ran has met many people and experienced many things. Some of them have gradually completed their journey of life, which makes people sigh and sigh in retrospect.
Luo Duguan is about to finish his life, while Zhao Ran has just begun. He strives to drive these sad emotions to the deepest part of his heart and continue his mission.
Although he bought Liu Gaogong's three-acre land at four times the market price, Zhao Ran knew that he was definitely not being ripped off. On the contrary, he should accept this sentiment. Think about it from another perspective, if the owner of the land changes.
Zhao Ran would definitely not agree if someone else had to spend a hundred taels of silver to open a road in his family's field.
As a high-ranking official in the Wuji Academy, Liu Zhiguang is definitely not short of money. There is almost no difference between one hundred taels of silver and one tael of silver to him. The reason why he chose this price to agree was that Zhao Ran secretly speculated that perhaps Liu Zhiguang just wanted to express these things.
The importance of the land in his heart was used to tell Zhao Ran how much of a favor he had sold to Zhao Ran.
Liu Zhiguang's matter was discussed smoothly, but the Qu family did not say anything.
"Didn't agree?" Zhao Ran thought for a while and asked, "You don't think you have enough money? There is a rocky beach at the foot of the mountain. There is no use for his family to come here. Let's drive past his village and go to his house.
There are many benefits, why don’t you agree?”
Jin Jiu frowned and said, "I don't know either, but his family didn't say the reason. They only said that they wanted to meet the temple minister. The fellow eunuch came in person and was waiting outside at the Jade Emperor Palace."
Zhao Ran immediately understood that it was not that the Qu family refused to agree, but that they came to negotiate terms, and it was definitely not a question of money. The ancestors of the Qu family had served as governors of a province, and they were also not short of money.
A fellow eunuch named Qu Zhongheng is fifty-five years old this year. He was born in a juren family and once served as a magistrate of a certain government in Yunnan. Since he was not a genuine Jinshi, his career was at the end of his career. After thinking about it, he felt that it was not interesting, so he resigned and returned to his hometown to enjoy the good life.
.
There are five or six rural eunuchs like Qu Zhongheng who returned to their hometowns after returning to their official positions, which is nothing unusual. The reason why the Jinxian lieutenant did not dare to come forward to suppress the Qu family was because Gan Shutong, the minister of household affairs.
Gan Shutong, who visited Yimao Branch in the first year of Jiajing, served successively as editor of the Hanlin Academy, Zuo Shuzi of Zuo Chunfang, learned about Chuzhou and Yangzhou, moved to Zhejiang Province, Zuo Councilor, Zuo Buzheng, and in June of the 18th year of Jiajing, he was appointed Minister of Household Affairs.
The Qu family has always been extremely low-key. If it weren't for local snakes like Jin Xianwei, few people would know that Gan Shutong was Qu Zhongheng's cousin. Both of Gan Shutong's parents died when he was young, and he was raised by Qu Zhongheng since he was a child.
He also taught poetry and calligraphy himself and treated his cousin like a father.
After Jin Jiu finished talking about the Qu family's situation in a few words, Zhao Ran knew he couldn't be slow and hurried out to greet him.
Qu Zhongheng had just offered incense to the Jade Emperor statue, and after bowing sincerely, he stood up and met Zhao Ran: "I have met the immortal master."
Zhao Ran exclaimed: "I am a poor man but I am polite!" He led Qu Zhongheng into a pavilion in the backyard to serve tea.
After the greetings were finished, Qu Zhongheng said: "Since the establishment of the temple in Junshan, the Immortal Master has opened up wasteland to relieve disasters, accommodated refugees, and helped orphans and widows. There are countless living people. Qu lives next to his neighbor. He often hears about it and admires it deeply. In the past two years.
I have been here several times, but the immortal master has always been out, and I have never had the opportunity to see the beauty, which is a pity. Finally, today I heard from Taoist Master Jin that the immortal master is in Junshan now, so he came without telling me, hoping to see Haihan."
Zhao Ran said: "The fellow eunuch is so polite. Pindao has also heard that after the fellow eunuch resigned and went into seclusion, he has been benefiting his hometown. Being able to be neighbors with the fellow eunuch is also Pindao's blessing."
"How dare you, how dare you, Qu heard from Taoist Master Jin that the immortal master planned to build a road?"
"Exactly, Junshan is located in a remote place. If there is no road connecting the four directions, people will be trapped here, which will be detrimental to the livelihood of the people. I heard that the fellow official is very charitable and cares about the suffering of the people, so he is bold and wants to pass the road through Guizhuang.
It can be used outside the country, and we hope that fellow officials will give us their full support."
Qu Zhongheng immediately expressed his position: "It is our duty to do so!"
Zhao Ran and Jin Jiu looked at each other, and Jin Jiu asked: "Fellow Huan, my family's temple blessing is here. If you have any difficulties, you might as well tell me about my family's temple blessing."
Qu Zhongheng said: "Now I have something to ask of you. Qu had a son when he was over forty years old. Because of this, he indulged himself very much and neglected to discipline him. Now he is fifteen years old, but he is still naughty. He has invited several famous teachers.
Although he was the child, he was angry with him. Every time Qu thought about it, he often sighed and felt worried. If he left this child alone, he didn't know what would happen in the future, so he boldly wanted this child to worship him in Junshan Temple.
, I don’t ask for anything else, I hope that this child will be able to observe etiquette and know the rules in the future, so that he will not ruin the ancestral legacy of my Qu family."
"Why don't fellow officials allow me to enter Wujiyuan? Or simply take some other route to Xizhenwu Palace. Isn't the prospect more promising than in my little Junshan?"
Qu Zhongheng sighed: "I originally sent him to Xizhenwu Palace, but not even a month after he left, he actually ran back alone. Now that the immortal master is here and Junshan Temple is nearby, Qu Zhongheng
A certain thought was to leave the gods nearby and not worship them, but to look for something else."
Zhao Ran understood that Junshan Temple was not far from home. Even if he ran away again, there would not be any big danger. Besides, the "immortal master" sign on his head was definitely better than the vulgar ones in Shifang Jungle.
Louder.
So he nodded: "If the fellow eunuchs have this intention, it's okay for me to do so. It's just that Wujiyuan has very few positions for Junshan Temple. If you want to have a future in Junshan Temple, you can't do it now."
"As long as the immortal master agrees, everything is easy to talk about. Just let the child work in the temple first. I don't expect him to be able to achieve anything. He can learn a little and be good. After a hundred years, I can inherit the family business.
If this child does anything inappropriate, he can be beaten or scolded as he pleases, and everything will be under the control of the immortal master."
Zhao Ranxin said what kind of naughty child was born in your family, and it didn't matter that you were tortured into such a state. Since you have something to ask for, I will take care of it for you without any trouble. He agreed immediately.
Once this matter is settled, the problem of opening a road under the forest of Qujia Mountain will naturally be solved.
One day later, the Qu family's housekeeper drove the person over in a carriage.
This young master's name is Qu Fenghe, and he just turned fifteen years old last month. If he were placed in a poor family, such as the Junshan area, he would basically be considered as the majority of the family's strong labor force. But because he has been well clothed and well-fed since he was a child, at home,
Although he was very pampered, Qu Fenghe still looked like a young man, acting like a young master.
After getting out of the car, the young man squinted his eyes and looked left and right, with his hands behind his back, his chin raised high, and he rolled his eyes looking at the sky instead of the earth. Zhao Ran felt happy, okay, the whole dragon
Awesome.
The housekeeper of the Qu Mansion kept reminding him: "Da Lang, this is Zhao Shenxian from Junshan Temple. Please pay your respects to the immortal master as soon as possible."
Seeing that Qu Fenghe was not paying attention at all, the housekeeper was helpless and smiled at Zhao Ran: "Master Immortal, please forgive me, but my eldest son accepts his birth."
Zhao Ran smiled and said to the housekeeper: "It's okay. Thank you for your hard work, housekeeper."
The housekeeper complained twice more and asked the servants to unload the young man's household utensils from the car, but Zhao Ran stopped him: "I have everything in the temple. Please send the housekeeper the same things as they are."
go back."
When Qu Fenghe heard this, his eyes almost popped out of his head, and he shouted: "Why? These all belong to me!"
Zhao Ran waved to Guan Er and Lu Jin: "Come on, take off his clothes and put on the temple work robe."
