As long as you let go, there will be no attachment. It is said that no desire leads to strength. At this moment, Zhao Ran understood this deeply. He walked outside the door, looking at the fellows from the Sutra Hall who were coming and going in the rooms opposite and on the left and right, looking at the dark night.
The lanterns gradually turned on in the middle room, making the mood extremely relaxing. ()
Smelling the fresh and slightly humid breath of late spring, his thoughts became clearer. He went directly to Song Xunzhao, Zhang Dianzao and Liu Jingzhu to explain that he did not want to be a doorman, and that he would definitely not be able to be a storekeeper.
That will be considered by the other party as your unwillingness to help. For now, the only way is to explain to Yu Zhiyuan and tell him the whole thing. As Yu Zhiyuan always takes care of you, he will definitely understand you and let you serve as a guest in the living room.
The thought of opening the door was abandoned.
In addition to Yu Zhiyuan, you can also use some tricks on Chen Jingzhu's side. Since Chen Jingzhu is a first-come, first-served person, a person who adheres to correct procedures, a person who does not follow evil ways, and a selfless person, then compliment him and praise him.
He encouraged him to keep his ideas. He could even admit his mistake to him, confess his bad thoughts about taking the back door, and tell him that he decided to change his mind and read the Bible well, which would give him more strength to persevere! No matter how Chen Jingzhu reprimanded him,
You must also be sincere in being taught!
As long as you can't get anything, you don't have to give anything. Song Xunzhao, Zhang Dianzao, Liu Jingzhu, don't count on me, just go your own way!
The idea was made, and Zhao Ran immediately put it into practice. Since Yu Zhiyuan was not around, he first went to visit Lord Chen Jing.
Master Chen Jing was reading scriptures by an oil lamp in the house. Zhao Ran did not see the expected cold scolding or angry expression. On the contrary, Master Chen Jing seemed very amiable. He waved his hand for Zhao Ran to sit beside him, and then smiled and wanted to help Zhao Ran drink.
Tea.
Zhao Ran quickly took matters into his own hands, first filling Chen Jingzhu's tea, and then brewed a cup himself, then sat down and signed diagonally.
This time, Chen Jingzhu’s face was grim: “Sit well and feel secure!”
"Yes." Zhao Ran quickly sat upright.
"Drink tea, don't be polite to me! Feel free to do whatever you want. I have always been informal in getting along with my fellow apprentices. You know this."
"Yes, senior brother is approachable, and everyone in the class knows this!" Zhao Ran quickly took the tea and drank it.
Seeing Master Chen Jing looking at him with a half-smile but not a smile, Zhao Ran pondered for a moment and then started to talk: "Senior brother, I'm really bothered by you coming here this late at night..."
Chen Jing waved her hands and said: "Junior brother Zhao, you are being polite again. We don't have to be so particular about each other. I welcome you here at any time, okay?"
Chen Jingzhu's enthusiasm and politeness were very different from the scene he expected. Zhao Ran didn't know what to say for a moment. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to admit his mistake as originally planned.
"Senior brother, I'm here to admit my mistake..."
"What did Junior Brother Zhao say?" Master Chen Jing interrupted Zhao Ran again and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Jiang and Senior Brother Liu discussed your matter with me yesterday. Do you want to go to the living room?"
"Yes, I know I shouldn't think so..."
"It can't be said that it shouldn't be done. It's good to be motivated and enterprising. Young people, if you don't have the ambition to fly high, how can you spread your wings? I appreciate you having this ambition!"
Regarding Chen Jingzhu's "appreciation", Zhao Ran secretly cursed in his heart, but he could only express his gratitude and said, "Senior brother, you are so complimentary." He was waiting to hear the "but" that followed.
"But, after all, Junior Brother has just entered Wuji Academy for more than two years. Well, to be precise, it has only been more than a year since he entered our Sutra Hall? The time is too short! In terms of qualifications, you are the least qualified. In terms of knowledge, Junior Brother Ma Zhili, Fang Zhihe
Junior brother is not beneath you. If you are removed rashly, how will the Sutra Hall convince the public? How will you meet the other senior brothers in the future? It is not worth it to offend the entire Sutra brothers for a temporary transfer!"
Zhao Ran quickly got up and learned: "I thought wrong. Junior brother, I am young after all. I do things willfully and recklessly. I only care about the present and not the future. I don't think deeply about everything. I only think about problems superficially. After a day of self-reflection and self-reflection
Through analysis, I deeply realized that my behavior was completely wrong. My desire to change my mind was a direct manifestation of my greed for authority. Blatantly asking for authority was an illegal act that violated organizational disciplines and left my fellow brothers behind.
, is a wrong behavior of not uniting with comrades. Today I came to report my mistakes to my senior brother. I hope that my senior brother can help me, criticize me, and give me guidance. After I go back, I will continue to carry out self-criticism in depth, take a bath, look in the mirror, and correct myself.
Wear clothes, carry out careful cross-examination, analyze your own problems, find the root causes, touch your soul, engage in active and healthy ideological struggle, cleanse the dust from your thoughts and behaviors, and rectify them one by one..."
Chen Jingzhu was dumbfounded by what he said. He rolled his tongue and didn't know how to respond. He just said "ah", "um", "oh" and "hehe", which could not keep up with Zhao Ran's speaking speed.
"...So, I completely agree with Senior Brother Jingzhu's views and express my firm repentance for my inappropriate behavior. I hope that Senior Brother will continue to supervise me deeply in the future. Once he finds any signs of inappropriate thinking in me, he will immediately remind and stop him! For example, this
This time, I decided to give up the opportunity to move the front door of the living room, and let Senior Brother Ma or Senior Brother Fang take over first, in order to unite my fellow seniors. I must continue to study hard and strive to meet greater challenges in the future with a good spirit!"
"Ah...that...junior brother said it well, um...in fact, junior brother, there is no need to belittle oneself. Junior brother's talents are still outstanding in the sutra hall. Speaking of which, junior brother has only been in the sutra hall for more than a year, and he has taken the annual exam.
You never get a lower grade in the monthly exams, which shows that you have worked hard, and this is undeniable to Senior Brother Jiang, Senior Brother Liu, including me. In addition, Junior Brother is one of the few people in the academy who has accepted the test in recent years.
It is not impossible for people who have been commended by the Huayun Pavilion to be promoted to the position of steward based on this alone..."
Master Chen Jing slowly reorganized his thoughts and returned to the track he originally set. Seeing that Zhao Ran was listening attentively, he smiled and said: "The reason why I objected before was actually to make your transition smoother, junior brother.
What do you think of Junior Brother..."
Zhao Ran stood up again: "Thank you, senior brother, for your support!"
Master Chen Jing motioned for Zhao Ran to sit down, and then said: "Although the door of the living room is a prominent position, it is too ostentatious. If junior brother takes up the post rashly, I think it is extremely inappropriate. I wonder if junior brother has ever thought about moving it within the sutra hall.
Woolen cloth?"
"ah?"
"To be honest, Junior Brother, Senior Brother, I have been staying in the Sutra Hall for many years. I am a little tired. I want to try other deacon rooms in order to refresh my mind. But after I left the Sutra Hall, this Jing Jingjie's job
However, there is no one in the department, and I really can’t let him go. My junior brother has excellent academic performance, and I don’t know if he is willing to take over? If so, I will recommend him to Jiang Gaogong. Although the position of the director of Jing is not as rich as that of the door leader, it is clear.
The more expensive place is better, and it is also a good place to go. I wonder what my junior brother thinks?"
Zhao Ran was stunned by this amazing turn of events. He did not expect that things would evolve to this point. As Chen Jingzhu said, compared with the door head, Jingzhu is indeed incomparable, but one is a lecturer and the other
He is the master of ceremonies for welcoming guests. In terms of future prospects, Master Jing is obviously more valued by the Taoist sect, and his background is more "prominent and upright".
From Zhao Ran's heart, he would of course prefer to choose the more relaxed Jingzhu instead of the trivial doorman. As for the income, Zhao Ran really doesn't care about it at the moment.
At this moment, Zhao Ran went from great sadness to great joy, as if he was on a roller coaster. He really wanted to jump up and hug Master Chen Jing and take a big bite - Brother, what are you causing trouble about? Couldn't you explain it earlier?
But he quickly calmed down. There is no such thing as a free lunch, and he understood this very well.
"Of course, this is just my idea for the time being. Although the higher-ups have already planned to transfer me out, it won't be finalized until the end. As the saying goes, if you go to higher places, even if you are transferred, if you can't get a promotion,
, then it’s hard for me to leave, otherwise where will I put this old face, Junior Brother Zhao, don’t you think so?”
"Uh...yes..." Zhao Ran gradually felt a bit dangerous.
Sure enough, Master Chen Jing leaned forward slightly, reached out and patted Zhao Ran's shoulder gently, and whispered: "I heard that Junior Brother Zhao has a deep connection with the immortal elders in the pavilion..."
Zhao Ran stared blankly at the ground under his feet, he was already numb...
