After chatting for a long time in the flower hall, Zhao Ran couldn't hear anything interesting. He knew that Kong Xianzun and Jin Xianwei had hosted a banquet for Song Xunzhao. It was just that Song Xunzhao was likely to take over as the head of Wujiyuan, so he made an appointment in advance.
Good karma, and by the way, Jin Jiu found an identity as a Taoist boy who received an ultimatum. The discussion will definitely not be so direct, and there will inevitably be countless twists and turns.
When it was time for the banquet to begin, Zhao Ran left the flower hall, and the three of them were eating in the hall. Presumably, the theme would be revealed during the meal. As for himself, when he walked out of the flower hall, someone also came to greet him, but it was a little less formal.
Jin Jiu has some quarrels but no hatred.
It seems that because of the buffer of the chat in the flower hall, Jin Jiu, who was struggling in his heart, has now calmed down. He lowered his eyebrows and led the way, taking Zhao Ran to the side hall of the small courtyard. Here, a banquet was also placed, specially for
It was done to entertain Zhao Ran. Zhao Ran playfully stared at Jin Jiu's back in front of him from behind, lamenting the earth-shaking changes in his identity in the past two years. If two years ago, he was a commoner, in the eyes of this county lieutenant, where would he be?
Is it worth mentioning? Now this county captain is respectful to me, and his fate in life is really unclear.
The two of them sat down, Jin Jiu filled the wine cup for Zhao Ran, then he picked it up and drank it first, while Zhao Ran drank lightly.
Jin Jiu sighed, gritted his teeth and stood up, giving a deep salute: "Brother Zhao, Taoist Master Zhao! In the past, it was all Jin's fault. Jin is here to apologize to Taoist Priest! If Jin Jiu doesn't raise his eyes again in the future, Taoist Zhao will punish him at will, Jin Jiu."
I don’t have a word of complaint..." Seeing that Zhao Ran was still smiling and showing no sign, he immediately gritted his teeth and said: "If the Taoist Master has anything to do, just give him the order. As long as Jin can do it, I will never refuse!"
The last sentence made Zhao Ran couldn't help but feel moved. Is this guy looking to take refuge? He was stunned for a moment and then laughed dumbly: "What are you talking about? Where did you end up in this situation? But I don't know what difficulties you encountered?"
Zhao Ran asked himself, although he was already an ultimatum Taoist priest, and he was excellent in his studies, and seemed to have a lot of connections among the senior officials of Wujiyuan, but to be betrayed like this - his bastard spirit seemed to be lacking, the only
Explain that Jin Jiu in front of you has something to ask for.
Perhaps Song Xunzhao brought him here today, giving the Jin family a lot of hints?
While he was thinking about it, he heard Jin Jiu say: "It's embarrassing to say that Jin joined the Taoist Academy and has been working as a handyman for four years now. Although this is nothing, there are many people in Wuji Yuan who have been in the Taoist Academy longer than Jin.
, Fire has been in residence for ten years, so you can still wait patiently. But Jin has a strong heart towards the Tao, but he can’t wait any longer. He hopes that Taoist Master Zhao will fulfill his wishes."
"How do you want me to help you?"
"Please give Chief Zhao a few nice words in front of Song Xunzhao! Song Xunzhao attaches great importance to Mr. Zhao, and with Mr. Zhao's help, this matter will definitely happen!"
Zhao Ran pondered for a moment and asked: "I remember that last year, when each house recommended a Taoist boy to receive an ultimatum, you were already under Song Xunzhao's consideration. Even if I didn't tell you, Song Xunzhao would give you some preferential treatment, otherwise it wouldn't be the case."
I will come to your house for a banquet, why are you so anxious?"
"But Song Xunzhao also had great love for Zhang Ze."
Zhao Ranqi said: "Aren't you and Zhang Ze always like brothers? Even if it's not your turn this year, it will definitely be your turn next year. Furthermore, the inspector is about to take over as the director of the hospital, whether this year or next year, as long as he is recommended.'
When the three capitals are collaborating, even a Taoist boy who receives an ultimatum will not be able to escape."
Jin Jiuchang sighed: "It was originally like this, but this guy Zhang Ze..." After sighing, he turned angrily and said: "I don't know what madness this guy has got. These days, he has been quarreling with me everywhere, and now he is even worse than my enemy.
Not as good as that! In short, this is a villain, if Daozhang Zhao gets involved with him in the future, you need to be careful."
Zhao Ran was displeased: "What is the dispute? What is the root cause? Please explain it clearly, otherwise I won't be able to help you."
Jin Jiu gritted his teeth and said, "The Taoist Master didn't know something. That Zhang Ze used a trick in front of everyone to trick me into betting against him. If he recommends me this year, I will lose."
"If you are recommended, will you win?"
"Uh... That's natural. Otherwise, what's the point of gambling?" Jin Jiu looked slightly embarrassed.
"How much was deposited?"
"...Not much, just over a thousand taels...the main thing is to fight for breath..."
"to be honest!"
"Three thousand taels..."
"Um?"
"Five thousand taels! It's really five thousand taels. I swear to Taoist Master Sanqing, it's only that much. Half of it was taken from the clan's public treasury. If he loses, Jin really can't explain it to his father! I hope Taoist Master will come true."
!”
Zhao Ran had a dark streak and secretly thought that this guy still has a stubborn streak. He really is a gambler.
He pulled out the acquaintances he had met when he was a fireworker layman and turned around in his mind, but none of them were suitable candidates to recommend this year. Guan Er's goal of entering Wujiyuan was set. He would enter the Fangtang in the future and then return.
Weiyuan Escort Bureau was his chief escort, which, in the words of that time travel, was a "directed training"; Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai, both of whom had unqualified backgrounds and qualifications, would never be considered by Song Xunzhao:
As for the other people, their friendship was casual and there was no need for me to take care of them. After thinking about it secretly for a long time, I found that there was really no one suitable to help me.
Then he thought again, it didn't matter to him who Zhang Ze or Jin Jiu would be recommended as a Taoist priest this year. In comparison, Jin Jiu would have less conflict with him. Now that Jin Jiu is the first to rush,
If you are convinced, then you will try your best to fulfill Jin Jiu's wish. It will only take one sentence, and you will not suffer any loss.
Yin said: "I can pass on a message for you, but as for who Senior Brother Patrol will choose in the end, Senior Brother has his own calculations, so he may not be able to succeed."
Jin Jiu was a hundred times grateful after receiving this sentence, and he hurriedly made a wish: "No matter whether it succeeds or not, in short, Jin has recorded the Taoist's great kindness. Well, if it can come true, Jin will be willing to share the profit equally with the Taoist!"
Zhao Ran didn't comment, and just laughed and said a few words casually: "Restrain your gambling nature, otherwise sooner or later you will export all your obscene pants!"
Jin Jiu agreed with a smile, and was even more flattering. He also said that when Zhao Ran was free, he would serve wine at Baifeng Tower in Guyang County to express his gratitude, and invite the best Honggu to serve Zhao Ran.
The meal was a feast for both the guests and the host, and by the time the banquet at Song Xunzhao's place was over, it was already nightfall.
Song Xunzhao thanked Kong Xianzun and Jinxian Wei for their kindness in staying overnight, and returned to Wuji Mountain at night. During this period, Song Xunzhao needed to be extra cautious. No one usually cared about activities such as prostitution, but
At this moment, you have to be careful of others saying this, after all, there is a clear prohibition on this in the Taoist precepts.
On the way, Zhao Ran carefully asked Song Xunzhao about his impression of Zhang Ze and Jin Jiu. Song Xunzhao asked Zhao Ran if he had been entrusted by Jin Jiu to speak. Zhao Ran was honest. Song Xunzhao said that this matter
I have to think about it again. If it were in the past, it would not be a big deal just to agree to the Jin family. But now is an emergency, so I have to think twice.
Perhaps because he drank a lot of wine during the banquet, Song Xunzhao also opened up to Zhao Ran. He told Zhao Ran that even if Jin Jiu was recommended, when the three capitals discuss it, Jin Jiu may not be selected as the room number.
Feng Can and Dian Zaofang Zhuang Huai are the most competitive candidates to receive the Dao Tong qualification.
Song Xunzhao told Zhao Ran what he could say, and what he couldn't say explicitly, he also hinted at Zhao Ran. In short, the qualification of the Daotong to be recommended this time may be related to Song Xunzhao taking over the supervisory office.
Feng Can's backstage was Feng Tongzhi of Long'an Mansion, and Zhuang Huai's backstage was Zhuang Shuitou from the water house of Xizhenwu Palace. Thinking of the backgrounds of these two people, Zhao Ran speculated that maybe Song Xunzhao wanted to use this as a reason for his successful promotion.
Chips. If you think about it carefully, Jin County Lieutenant will not be able to help Song Xunzhao take over as the Supervisor after all.
However, what Zhao Ran promised was to help Jin Jiu persuade Zhang Ze and let Jin Jiu stand out from the squatter. As long as he can do this, Jin Jiu can win the bet. Even if he has fulfilled his promise to help, as for whether Jin Jiu can leave
At the last step, it was none of Zhao Ran's business. At that moment, he thanked Song Xunzhao on behalf of Jin Jiu.
In just a few words, Zhang Ze became tragic. From another perspective, the distant nephew of the minister of the court was still not as important as the son of the county captain. It seems that this is the same regardless of ancient and modern times.
At this point, Song Xunzhao didn't hide it, but asked Zhao Ran if he didn't take over the job smoothly, could he ask any immortal from the Zisun Temple to come forward?
Zhao Ran promised with all his heart, but after he agreed, he was covered in cold sweat. He thought about it, this was the ultimate purpose of Song Xunzhao taking him out today, but he really wanted to beg Yumo again for this.
Huh? If he really did this, Zhao Ran was 100% sure that it would definitely cause trouble for Yumo.
I just hope that Song Xunzhao can take over smoothly - Zhao Ran can only secretly pray to Taoist Sanqing for Song Xunzhao.
