ps: Thank you for the tips of Yuyun, Huaxiao V77, Yangzhigang, and thank Chong Chongbao for the sandwich biscuits.
Now it is still in the atmosphere of the New Year, and the mountain is busy receiving all kinds of people to worship Taoist ancestors and offer incense. In the past two years, Zhao Ran has been helping to make some Jiao rituals, but this year he doesn't have to be so busy, because he has already left the scripture hall. Fang Tang is actually not idle, there is a constant flow of people in Wuji Courtyard, and Fang Tang is also required to patrol to maintain order, and beware of small nights. But Zhao Ran knew in his heart that with the prestige of Daomen, no "young man" dared to come to the mountain to cause trouble, so his attention was not on this.
Zhao Ran handed over all the trivial affairs to the hall master Jiang Zhiheng, and he took Guan Er and Lu Jin down the mountain again.
The golden shopkeeper of the Jinji rice shop has been waiting for a long time, and he has purchased many New Year's goods on the orders of Zhao Ran, including cloth, bacon, rice noodles, oil, salt and other things, and almost filled several warehouses of the Jinji rice shop.
Zhao Ran asked, "How much did it cost?"
The golden shopkeeper smiled and said, "Not much." ”
Zhao Ran glared and said: "According to the truth, how much was spent, if you hide it, you must have missed my big thing!"
The golden shopkeeper suddenly felt in his heart and replied, "A total of one hundred and fifty-six taels of silver." "Secretly said What's wrong with this master, do you really want to give money?
Zhao Ran really gave him money, and gave him two silver tickets, a total of two hundred taels: "You can buy some more silver, and deduct ten taels for yourself, which is considered a benefit for you." ”
The golden shopkeeper was busy about to excuse himself, but he was glared at by Zhao Ran again, and then he accepted it in a panic. According to Zhao Ran's instructions, he hired two big cars and filled them with New Year's goods.
Zhao Ran, Guan Er, and Lu Jin were in front, and they left with two truckloads of New Year's goods, and they didn't want the gold shopkeeper to follow, and they went to the countryside.
The first stop is the nearest Lijia Village. This time, there is no need for Old Man Li to come out and run back and forth, he has stayed in Lijia Village for seven days, and he has long been familiar with the villagers.
At this juncture this year, Li Sanlang's family is in a very good mood, and the dilapidated house that could only be filled with silt in the past has now been renovated. Not only were the holes filled, but the roof tiles were replaced in half, and the window paper was re-pasted. Looking at his neatly renovated house, Li Sanlang couldn't help but think of the Zhao Daochang of Wuji Courtyard.
Zhao Daochang looks very young, but he is extremely kind, and I don't know why, he actually invited a master mason from the county town to renovate the old houses in the village, which is really very kind. Now the whole village is praising him. Discussed going to the Wuji Courtyard to burn pillar incense, and thanked him by the way.
But the old man Li in the village said, in addition to burning incense, he also had to buy some New Year's gifts to thank Daochang Zhao. It's not that Li Sanlang is unwilling, but the seriously ill old lady at home has been bedridden. Almost all the spare money is used to prescribe medicine for the old lady, where can he go to make up the ten cents?
Li Saburo entered the inner room. I gossiped with my mother, and then sat on the edge of the bed and was sad. The old lady asked on the bed, only to know that this was the case, and immediately said: "San Lang, the discussion in the village is right, and Daochang Zhao has rebuilt the house." We have to read well, this money ...... My mother's body and bones have been getting better recently, so I didn't rush to grab the next medicine, so I got the money first......"
"Mother, how can I do it......
"Why not? Listen to my mother. To be a man, you have to know how to repay your kindness, Zhao Daochang may not care about our things, but he doesn't care, his mother cares in her heart......"
As the mother and son were talking, they heard someone shouting at the door: "Is Li Sanlang at home?"
When Li Sanlang heard this familiar voice, he was stunned, and said to the old lady: "It seems to be that Zhao Daochang? I'll go and see, mother, you lie down first." When he got out of the house, he saw a young Taoist standing at the gate of the fence courtyard, not Daoist Zhao.
Li Sanlang ran a few steps, opened the wooden door of the small courtyard, and said happily: "Daochang Zhao, why are you here!"
Zhao Ran smiled, took Guan Er and Lu into the courtyard and entered the house, and said as he walked: "It's the New Year, come and see you." How's it going, how have you been this year?"
After chatting with Li Sanlang for a few words, he went into the room to pay New Year's greetings to the sick old man, took the three-foot cloth wrapped in red paper from Guan Second-hand, put it at the head of the old man's bed, and said: "It's the New Year, give you a New Year's greeting, this is a little bit of a poor heart, you must not be polite." ”
The old man struggled to get up, but was forcibly stopped by Zhao Ran, and after going out, he took a small red paper bag from Lu Jin's hand, stuffed it to Li Sanlang and said, "A little money, grab medicine for the eldest lady...... Don't shirk, otherwise you will look down on the poor road!"
Li Sanlang opened the red paper bag, and inside was twenty neatly stacked Jiajing Tongbao, which was indeed "a little money", but looking at the back of Zhao Ran and the others leaving, Li Sanlang felt that his nose was sour, and he wanted to cry for some reason.
After Zhao Ran left San Lang's house, according to what he saw and heard when he returned to the village to repair the house, he went door-to-door to pay New Year's greetings to those who had a difficult life. Some handed over a three-foot cloth, some gave a hung bacon, some gave a jar of salt, and some offered a bag of tea. If you encounter real difficulties at home, you will also be given a small red envelope.
When I entered the house, I didn't say much, but I just asked how I was doing and how I was doing, and I said a few words of blessing and left, and I didn't bother much.
As his family visited the past, there were more and more villagers around him, and many children followed Zhao Ran to join in the fun, clapping their hands and singing songs, Zhao Ran took out a few pieces of snacks or sugar cakes from the cart and divided them, causing the children to jump with joy.
Zhao Ran was also very happy, and the merit power in his qi sea was also increasing little by little.
Old man Li had already heard the news and rushed to follow Zhao Ran, and when Zhao Ran finished visiting from house to house, he called Old Man Li over, and said with a stern expression: "Uncle Li, do you want everyone to get together to give a gift to the poor road?"
Old man Li looked embarrassed and said, "This is everyone's intention......"
Zhao Ran shouted: "This must not be done! It is okay to go to Wuji Courtyard to worship the ancestors, but you are not allowed to give gifts, otherwise you will tarnish the poor road and clear your name!"
Old man Li didn't dare to say that he was busy, so he almost knelt on the ground and swore an oath.
After scaring Old Man Li, Zhao Ran got on the donkey, took Guan Er and Lu Jin, and rushed to the next village with the cart. Lijia Village spent more than an hour here, and the schedule was still relatively tight, so he had to hurry up and strive to visit three villages a day to improve efficiency.
From the fourth day of the Lunar New Year to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Ran's donkey did not stop, visiting more than 20 villages around Wuji Mountain, and the merit in the sea of qi soared, which made him quite satisfied. In the next few days, he simply asked Guan Er and Lu Jin to act separately and divided into three teams to visit and condole, but a problem immediately appeared. In the villages that Guan Er and Lu entered, he could also feel the increase in merit power, but the increased merit power was obviously much weaker than the merit power he had obtained by himself, which made his understanding of merit power improve again.
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the 15th year of Jiajing will be roughly over, and people's days will return to their usual appearance. Zhao Ran took the time to go to the prison and told him everything he had done these days. As a Taoist priest, of course it is okay for him to do some good deeds, but if the good deeds are big and large-scale, he must obtain the double approval of the county government and the Wuji Academy, otherwise he is privately inviting people to buy people's hearts, which is a great crime.
Of course, Song Zhiyuan of the prison will not hinder him from doing good deeds, speaking of which, Daomen is the largest charity in the future. For example, the Qingmiao warehouse system established in various places was raised by the Daomen, and half of the money was paid; for example, the relief in times of great disasters and disasters, the Daomen spared no effort and played a leading role in it.
But Zhao Ran paid out of his own pocket to do good deeds quietly, which was a bit strange, and Song Zhiyuan couldn't help but ask the reason. Zhao Ran had already thought of an excuse, which was nothing more than that set of clichés, saying that his deceased parents had a dream and wanted to help others. Although this statement is clichéd, but after all, it is an upright reason, and there is no flaw in it, Song Jian Yuan pinched his nose and admitted it, saying that he would definitely support Zhao Ran.
The first step of support was naturally to issue him an official letter to the county, which meant that Zhao Zhiran, the head of Wuji Academy, wanted to set up a relief station somewhere in the east of Guyang County, and asked the county government to agree and take care of Yunyun.
Zhao Ran took this official letter and personally went to the county office, and with the help of Jin County Lieutenant, he got Kong Xianzun's painting line, so Zhao Ran immediately devoted himself to the establishment of the relief station. (To be continued!)
