On the first day of the opening of the music school, more than ten Qinhuai sisters, including the Mei family, who were also among the top ten famous prostitutes, jointly sent rich congratulatory gifts, and also brought carefully selected children from their respective disciples to formally worship Xu Fu and Zhu Daolin to systematically learn music and piano skills.

A total of 25 children from the eight Qinglou on both sides of the Qinhuai River, all aged between eight and twelve years old, all of them are pink, white, tender and tender is cute, the most satisfying thing for Zhu Daolin is that this group of children carefully selected from hundreds of peers is not only smart and polite, but also have learned more than a year of music, with a certain musical foundation, about one-third of the children have mastered the basic techniques of playing pipa, flute and other musical instruments.

At the same time, the ten old musicians hired also brought 35 children from poor families, the youngest was only five years old, and the oldest was already 14 years old, with men and women, with different foundations, Xu Fu and Zhu Daolin also enthusiastically accepted them.

After the simple and solemn apprenticeship ceremony, Zhu Daolin happily agreed to the requests of Sister Mei and others and the old musicians, and successively played the famous guzheng song "Spring River Flower Moon Night" that has spread all over the south of the Yangtze River, as well as the song "Vain Eyebrows" given to Xu Fu after drinking too much, and finally invited the excited Xu Fu beauty to send everyone the piano and flute ensemble "Iron Blood Dan Heart", which had been practiced twice, and the hall was full of fascination, and the dozens of disciples kneeling in the hall were even more excited.

After sending away more than a dozen Qinhuai sisters including the satisfied Mei family, Xu Fu strictly followed the rules and regulations formulated by Zhu Daolin and began to register each child.

Zhu Daolin and the old musicians sitting around him leisurely drank tea, humbly solicited the opinions of these old-timers, gladly adopted a number of suggestions put forward by the seniors, asked the seniors if they needed help at home, and explained in detail the newly formulated rules and regulations of the school, which not only made the old-timers feel that they were deeply valued, but also saw the cold and warm-hearted Zhu Daolin's generous and benevolent pure heart.

In the end, Zhu Daolin told the seniors present with a sigh: "The younger generation also recently learned that the situation of my Daming Lehu has reached such a bleak point, I wanted to think about it for a while, and then ask for the opinions of the seniors to see if I can do something beneficial for the colleagues in a difficult situation, but now I have listened to the seniors' story, and I feel that it can not be delayed any longer." ”

"After the seniors go back, they can tell their peers who need help that the Ziyang Temple under the Shogunate Mountain will open an ironware workshop, a carpentry workshop, a shipbuilding workshop, a textile workshop and a shoemaking workshop after the Lantern Festival of the first lunar month, and recruit about 5,000 apprentices in addition to 3,000 skilled craftsmen."

"If you want, you can interconnect and protect each other, and come here to sign up after the Lantern Festival of the New Year, as long as the character is not too bad, even if there is some disability, I Zhu Daolin will accept it, and I can't do iron and shipbuilding, and it is always okay to do needlework on the soles of shoes."

The old musicians were excited, and they all stood up to thank Zhu Daolin, and the two anxious old musicians asked if they could tell the good news to their colleagues in need today? After getting Zhu Daolin's approval, the old musicians were relieved, and many people thanked Zhu Daolin again and again with tears.

Thanks to Zhu Daolin's efforts, the old musicians who came to the school devoted themselves wholeheartedly to teaching, and Xu Fu was deeply surprised by the cohesion and enthusiasm they showed.

The refreshed Zhu Daguan rarely stayed in the Dongkuan Courtyard for three consecutive days, dutifully serving as a teacher during the day, and conscientiously inheriting the legacy of the Ximen Daguan at night.

The beginning of spring came in a blink of an eye, at nine o'clock in the morning, Zhu Daolin and the chief steward Lao Shi and the six stewards finished the meeting, and finally left the reluctant Xu Fu and the children, leaving the girl and the youngest girl to follow Xu Fu to continue studying, taking the smart and virtuous Xiaoying and the girl who had the name of the concubine, leaving the Zizhu Garden in a four-wheeled carriage and going to the Ziyang Temple under the Shogunate Mountain.

Along the way, Zhu Daolin solemnly told the two beloved girls: "From today onwards, you will gradually become familiar with the half-built mansion at the foot of Hushan, and the servants carefully selected by the master and uncle from the homeless people, and in three months, it will be our home." ”

At noon, Zhu Daolin had lunch with his master Xuanqing Daochang and his uncle and uncle, and inspected the large-scale Ziyangguan construction site together.

The elders who had worked hard day and night for the past few months to rebuild the Ziyang Temple had obviously lost a lot of weight, but their spirits were better than ever, their legs and feet were agile, and Zhu Daolin almost couldn't keep up with their steps several times.

After inspecting the construction site of Ziyang Temple, they climbed to the top of the low hill in the west with Zhu Daolin, and looked back at the Sanqing Palace, the main building of Ziyang Temple, which was being capped, and felt extremely proud and satisfied.

Standing in the middle of the crowd, Daoist Xuanqing took Zhu Daolin's arm, pointed to the majestic heavy eaves hall in front of him, and asked, "Do you feel familiar?" ”

Zhu Daolin sighed convincingly: "The entire shape of the main hall is quite similar to the main hall of Chaotian Palace in the city, the height and width are not as high, and it is very solemn, especially the wide triple white marble steps in front of the main hall, as well as the six round and smooth pillars polished with granite, which are majestic and solemn, and very magnificent. ”

"If it weren't for the disciples who watched it build it from scratch, it would be hard to believe that such a huge project could be built to this extent in less than four months, it is amazing!"

Everyone laughed, and every face was filled with pride.

Fifth Master Uncle Xuanfang smiled proudly: "More than 500 skilled craftsmen lead tens of thousands of craftsmen and strong laborers to be busy day after day, if there is no such progress, it is not normal, haha!" ”

Master Xuanqing seemed to see the faint worry in Zhu Daolin's heart, smiled and explained: "Don't worry, the reconstruction of Ziyang Temple has already been approved by the Daolu Department of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, and the Beijing Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple have both been recorded. ”

"Look, wait until the day of the grand ceremony, not only the officials of the Sixth Department of Nanjing and the Ministry of Rites in Beijing will come to congratulate, but I can't say that the Holy One will also give a congratulatory decree today."

Zhu Daolin suddenly realized, worried that the hidden danger of being too large and violating the regulations would dissipate, and happily pointed to the pharmacist hall behind the main hall and the side halls on both sides:

"According to the current progress, it is estimated that in two months, the main four halls and the backyard on the mountainside will be completed.

The second uncle, who seemed to be polite at any time, said with a smile: "It's better to come according to the original plan, every inch of effort, you can't rush here, but the medical center built on the east street of Zizhuyuan needs to be opened in advance." ”

"I have discussed with your master, uncles, and uncles, and as soon as the Lantern Festival is over, I will take turns to lead more than a dozen disciples to sit in the town and run this largest Huimin medical hall in the south of the Yangtze River."

"This is a major event involving the face of our entire Shangqing faction, even the head of the Maoshan ancestral court and the patriarchs can't sit still, and repeatedly ask about the construction progress and preparations of the medical hall, it is estimated that a few highly respected and skilled veterans will soon be sent to sit in charge for a long time to help our medical sect build up the reputation of the entire Shangqing sect and compare it with other sects."
