Two letters played a key role in the reason why Zhao Ran was finally promoted to be an ultimatum Taoist priest. One was a letter from the Great Refiner of Chuyang City in Jade Emperor Pavilion. There were only two words in the letter that criticized Zhao Ran - "
"Nonsense"; the other one came from Master Lin Zhijiao of the Huayun Pavilion, asking the old abbot of Wujiyuan for Zhao Ran's handwriting. These two inexplicable letters had nothing to do with the ultimatum and job transfer.
Zhao Ran stood out and relied on to change his destiny. No one would believe it, but the truth is so bizarre.
Let’s not mention the first letter for the time being. It was the result of Zhao Ran going out of his way to find someone to knock on the gongs and drums to come to his door and voluntarily apply for “scold”. When it came to the second letter, Zhao Ran had to feel ashamed and thank Yu Mo for his help.
Therefore, when Song Xunzhao proposed that Zhao Ran would change the situation on his behalf and secure a place in the pavilion for a certain immortal chief to come forward to speak out, it was really difficult for Zhao Ran. Song Xunzhao did not know and did not know what Zhao Ran was in the pavilion.
The land is so prestigious, but Zhao Ran himself knows his own affairs. The great master of Chuyang City in Jade Emperor Pavilion does not want to see him at all, and Yu Mo of Huayun Pavilion is quite caring about him, but
Things can happen once but not again. I have already helped Yumo twice. Do you have the nerve to do it again?
Zhao Ran wrote a letter to Yumo, telling the story of Hong Zhike of Wujiyuan who died in Baima Mountain, and what the new Zhike Yu Zhiyuan saw and heard when he witnessed the war in Baima Mountain, focusing on the tragic dangers involved, and persuaded Yu
Mo must not easily participate in the war, and he must cherish himself. The paper was full of concern, which made Zhao Ran blush. The letter also lightly mentioned that Zhong Tenghong of the prison camp was leaving, and that the new prison camp might be the reason for his departure.
Regarding Song Zhiyuan, there was no hint of intercession or concern in his words.
I have written the letter. As for whether others will take care of it or not, it is up to God. This is what Zhao Ran thinks. You can say that Zhao Ran is hiding his ears and stealing the bell, or that he is playing an ostrich strategy. In short, this is the best he can think of at the moment.
Best plan.
After writing the letter, Zhao Ran went to find Yu Zhiyuan to send a letter. Speaking of which, Zhao Ran hadn't written to Yu Mo for a long time because he hadn't returned home in three months. He actually received two letters from Yu Mo.
The problem is that he has no way to send the letter.
After coming out of the living room, Zhao Ran went straight to Liu Jingzhu's house. He wanted Jiang Gaogong to come forward and recommend him to be the doorman in the living room, but Liu Jingzhu couldn't overcome this hurdle. Although he had excellent academic performance, he also had a good reputation in front of Jiang Gaogong.
After getting a small amount of noodles, I can speak well, but I am still not as good as Liu Jingzhu. Asking questions beyond the level is a taboo in the workplace. Some people can't get things done, but they are very good at ruining you. Before Zhao Ran traveled through time
I have seen too much to make such a mistake.
Liu Jingzhu is only a steward Taoist at the "Five Lords and Eighteen Heads" level, and is not qualified to live in the backyard. His residence is still in the squatter compound, but he only occupies a row of three wing rooms. To put it bluntly, Zhao Ran and Zhu
The two rooms shared by Meng and Meng together are Liu Jingzhu's current living conditions. If Zhao Ran moves to the front door of the living room in the future, he will also get such treatment.
When Zhao Ran rushed to the door of Liu Jingzhu's house, Liu Jingzhu happened to come back from outside. Zhao Ran followed Liu Jingzhu into the room happily, took the robe he took off, and diligently boiled water and poured tea for Liu Jingzhu. This was not the first time he came here.
Both times, they were familiar with each other, and there was nothing strange about them. Liu Jingzhu also liked Zhao Ran's discernment and enjoyed Zhao Ran's flattery very happily.
After Zhao Ran finished his work, Liu Jingzhu took a sip of the tea soup, leaned back on the chair, and said leisurely: "During my morning homework, I saw that you were distracted and seemed to have something on your mind. Sure enough... After all, what happened?
What's the matter?"
Zhao Ran smiled and said: "Since the beginning of winter last year, I have been under the care of many sutra masters. Junior brother, I have gone down the mountain to preside over many rituals. Not only have I consolidated my knowledge, broadened my experience, but also gained a lot of knowledge. When drinking water, remember the source, junior brother, I often chant
As for the sutra master, if it weren’t for the sutra master’s love, how could I, my junior brother, have made the progress I have today…”
Liu Jingzhu waved his hand: "Junior Brother Zhao is too polite. It's all because of Senior Brother Gao Gong's care. What I have here is nothing more than adult beauty. If you want to thank Senior Brother Gao Gong, you don't need to make a special trip to me to say..."
Zhao Ran was angry: "Does the sutra master look down on me, junior brother? Junior brother, I am not an ungrateful person! I understand Jiang Gaogong's care and concern in my heart, but if there is no sutra master, let alone go down the mountain to preside over religious services, I just want to be in the sutra hall
Scholarship is absolutely impossible!"
Zhao Ran was able to become a sutra-reciting Taoist boy who received an ultimatum, and Liu Jingzhu also played a certain role in it. It was Liu Jingzhu's introduction that allowed Zhao Ran to climb the lintel of Jiang Gaogong. Therefore, although Zhao Ran was angry on the surface, Liu Jingzhu was quite useful.
Yin smiled and said: "Junior brother, there is no need to worry about trivial matters."
Zhao Ran took out a hundred taels of silver notes from his arms, forced it into Master Liu Jing's hand, and said solemnly: "This is a book of gifts for various rituals. Junior brother, I am alone, and I have all the senior brothers to take care of me, so it doesn't cost much.
After thinking about it, money should always be used for its purpose... I heard that the lay mother of the sutra master has been ill recently and has many uses for money. I hope the sutra master will not be polite to me, my junior brother. I also respect him.
Just be filial."
Liu Jingzhu had a manor in the north of Guyang County, where he took care of his old mother, who was almost sixty years old. It was said that Liu's mother had a chronic leg disease, and Liu Jingzhu, who regarded himself as a filial son, spent all his money on treating the old mother's illness and nursing her.
Well, this matter is well known in Wuji Courtyard. Zhao Ran has never been to Liu's Manor, nor has he met Liu's mother. He doesn't know what kind of leg disease that Liu's mother has, but for Zhao Ran who wants to give him away
For Qian's subordinates, it is an excellent reason, and there is no need to even think about excuses.
Liu Jingzhu sadly lamented his old mother's illness, but refused Zhao Ran's banknote. This made Zhao Ran a little overwhelmed, and he put the banknote away in embarrassment. Various thoughts came to his mind, and he thought to himself
Could it be that this senior brother doesn’t intend to help?
But Liu Jingzhu's face was still very gentle and showed nothing unusual, which puzzled Zhao Ran for a while. After chatting for a few words, Liu Jingzhu changed the topic and talked about Yu Zhiyuan taking over as the deacon of the living room. Liu Jingzhu and Yu Zhiyuan
They have a good relationship, which is the same as Zhao Ran. Even if they have a common topic, they both wish Yu Zhiyuan, and Liu Jingzhu asked: "Junior brother Yu... Well, Yu Zhike once told me,
He has a missing person, and he wants you to fill the gap. I don’t know, junior brother, what do you think?"
Doing things for free? Is Liu Jingzhu so generous? In any case, although Zhao Ran couldn't guess what the other party was thinking, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said humbly: "Of course I'm willing, but I'm afraid that I'm not very talented, junior brother.
I can’t afford such an important responsibility.”
Liu Jingzhu leaned back on his chair and chuckled: "I'm too modest! I have never gotten lower than a first-class score in the monthly and annual exams. This kind of coursework is all about "little talent and shallow learning". I don't know who in the Sutra Hall is considered outstanding? How can I not be worthy of such talent?
Do you want to start a career? Don’t worry, I will discuss this matter with Jiang Gaogong and I will definitely recommend you!"
Zhao Ran quickly thanked Liu Jingzhu respectfully, flattered Liu Jingzhu without leaving a trace, and praised his filial piety. Just as he was about to say goodbye and leave, he heard Liu Jingzhu leaning forward and whispering: "
I heard that Junior Brother Zhao has quite a lot of contacts with the immortal elders in the pavilion, but I wonder if you can contact me on behalf of Senior Brother?"
Zhao Ran was stunned: "Is there something wrong with the sutra master?"
"Well... that... let's be honest, senior brother, I have been a sutra master for nine years. It's not that I am too ambitious and greedy for a high position, but it is because my mother is eager for her son to make progress and hopes that I will make further progress. Senior brother, I can't bear to let this down.
After understanding my mother's wishes, I am now planning to transfer the position to Gao Gong. Jiang Gao Gong is also committed to this matter, but at the level of deacon, it will be easier to handle if the Xizhenwu Palace nods to take care of it. If the junior brother can do it for him
Turn around, please ask one of the immortals in the pavilion to come forward and say hello to Xi Zhenwu Palace... Junior brother, don't worry, senior brother and I should be responsible for the management of this..."
Looking at Liu Jingzhu's expectant look, Zhao Ran was tangled up in his heart, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree: "Senior brother, don't worry, junior brother, I will try my best to intercede..."
Liu Jingzhu was overjoyed: "That's it, thank you so much, junior brother!"
Zhao Ran's mouth was full of bitterness: "Senior brother, you're welcome..."
Thanks to yangzhigang and brother Billlee for the reward.
