The next day, after Zhao Ran finished his duties in the back kitchen, he couldn't hold back and rushed to Song Xunzhao's dormitory in the backyard.

Song Zhiyuan was not in the courtyard, so he pressed his eager mind and waited patiently. About half an hour later, Song Xunzhao and Deacon Dong of the number room returned together, and the two talked and laughed side by side.

If you want to say who is the richest among the eight deacons, then the first one must be Deacon Dong. More than 50% of the wealth of Wuji Yuan comes from the contribution of the number house, although they are all real hospital properties and are attributed to the name of the Taoist Academy, but Deacon Dong hands over no less than 10,000 yuan of silver every year, and it is enough to make people look at it if some oil and water drip from his fingers.

Zhao Ran rarely saw the figure of Deacon Dong, and when he thought about it, it seemed that he only happened to meet him once on the day he went up the mountain with Chu Yangcheng, and then came here several times to find Song Zhiyuan, and the door of the main hall of the east side was always closed. It is said that this Taoist priest spends most of his time outside the mountain, and he rarely comes back several times a year, but he doesn't want to bump into it today.

After more than seven months, this Deacon Dong naturally couldn't recognize Zhao Ran, who was full of red light and high spirits in front of him, as the child of a farmer in ragged clothes behind Chu Yangcheng that day, he glanced at it casually, smiled and entered the main hall of the number room, it seemed that he had said hello to Zhao Ran, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't seem to pay attention to Zhao Ran at all.

Song Zhiyuan beckoned Zhao Ran to follow him into the main hall of the squatter's house, closed the door, and asked, "What are you doing here today?"

Zhao Ran licked his lips and wanted to speak, but he didn't know where to start for a while. Song Zhiyuan smiled and said in a low voice: "For the matter of receiving the Daotong?"

Zhao Ran nodded hurriedly and looked at Song Zhiyuan.

Song Zhiyuan sat on the chair by himself, stretched out his hand and motioned for Zhao Ran to sit down as well, and said straight to the point: "You are well informed, so you came over early to wait." To tell the truth, the Fit Talent Prison convened the 'Sandu' and the 'Eight Deacons' to discuss this matter. No, Senior Brother Dong was called back from the Grange outside the mountain......"

Zhao Ran couldn't help leaning forward, listening very seriously.

I only heard Song Zhiyuan continue: "This year, according to the usual practice, one person will be nominated by each deacon's room, and then the prison and the 'Sandu' will take the school face to face and determine one person. Well, in fact, there should be two places, but one of them is the designated candidate of the West Zhenwu Palace, it is said that the qualifications and roots are acceptable, and he will go to the pavilion in the future, but he will be brought in by the Wuji Academy. ”

Song Zhiyuan picked up the teapot on the table, but the tea in the teacup bottomed out, Zhao Ran hurriedly got up, took the teapot from the table, shook it, felt that the water in the pot was full, and put it on the small red clay stove in the corner of the house to heat. Less. There was a sound in the pot, so Zhao Ran took it down and gave it to Song Zhiyuan.

Song Zhiyuan looked at Zhao Ran with satisfaction, motioned for him to pour one himself, and then sighed: "I don't need you to come, I plan to nominate you." But today is a little different, the prison court hinted to me that it should focus on Jin Jiu and Zhang Ze...... I told you before, how about getting in touch with the Great Refiner earlier? It will be fulfilled today, if you can catch the line of the Great Refiner, where will there be today's play, it is really embarrassing for people to live. ”

He sighed, Zhao Ran sighed more than him, if he could hook up with Chu Yangcheng, he Zhao Ran was not a fool, how could he not hook up? The problem is that don't look at himself as Chu Yangcheng sent to Wuji Courtyard, but Chu Yangcheng didn't take him seriously at all, and there was no way to contact him, so Zhao Ran could only cry out in vain.

"Jin Jiu is the son of the lieutenant of Jin County in Guyang, and Zhang Ze is the nephew of the Shilang clan of the Criminal Department of the Central People's Republic of China, and his family background is a hundred times deeper than yours. However, in my opinion, the prison court is more interested in Zhang Ze...... Among the fire workers in the courtyard, only Zhang Ze can be compared with Feng Can, and ...... Song Zhiyuan pouted at the end of the east house, and said: "The deacon of the house director has already mentioned to me that there is a conclusion in their deacon's room, and it is not recommended by Feng Can, you may not know that Feng Can is the nephew of Feng Hong, the political envoy of this province. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Ran already understood what Song Zhiyuan meant, this year's election, the most recognized in the courtyard are Feng Can and Zhang Ze, and the rest of the people, even if they are elected, they will accompany the list, and there is no hope.

Sure enough, Song Zhiyuan immediately began to advise Zhao Ran, saying that this year's quota competition is fierce, and instead of desperately competing for the opportunity to be recommended, in the end it is just a walk between candidates, and it is better to wait patiently for the next time. He said that every two to three years, there will be such an opportunity in Wuji Academy, not this year, then the year after tomorrow, well, in fact, the year after tomorrow is enough, then it will be another two years, anyway, Zhao Ran is still young, and it has only been less than a year since he entered Wuji Academy, and there is time to wait.

Zhao Ran remembered that he was still full of confidence last night, and assured Yu Zhiyuan that he would find a way to become a candidate for the squatter recommendation, but he didn't expect that not only could he not compare to Zhang Ze, but even Jin Jiu's chances of winning were far from himself, and he was really deflated when he thought about it.

Zhao Ran held back his disappointment, expressed his gratitude to Song Zhiyuan, and did not directly open his mouth to continue to ask for help - the other party has already made it very clear, and if he wants to beg for nothing, he will be blocking the other party, and this is not what he does.

However, Song Zhiyuan also appeased Zhao Ran, saying that he would definitely try his best to find a way, and as long as he had the opportunity, he would try to recommend Zhao Ran. Another understanding of this sentence is that if there is no opportunity, please forgive Zhao Ran.

Zhao Ran returned to his room sullenly, covered his head and pondered for a long time, until dinner, and then listlessly went to the back kitchen to help.

In the evening, the news that Wuji Yuan was going to recommend candidates from among the fireworkers to be officially accepted gradually spread, and the fireworkers in each room were all discussing in front of and behind them, and they were counting who was the most hopeful.

The fireworkers in the second room of the meal were no exception, gathered in the small courtyard, and came up with an unofficial folk ranking list with great enthusiasm, and the one in place was naturally Zhang Ze, followed by Jin Jiu, as for Zhao Ran, he was not on the list at all.

Zhao Ran has always had a bad relationship with the fireworkers in the second room of the meal, and since Gou Ershi was swept away, although everyone no longer stumbled Zhao Ran, they have never treated him as a friend. Although he later instructed the gold shopkeeper to give silver to whoever should give silver, and did not intercept the extra money of the chef on duty, the relationship between people is not to say that relaxation can be eased, and it will take time to do so.

There is no name of Zhao Ran in the folk rankings, and Zhao Ran doesn't care about it, because this ranking list is ineffective, but everyone's speculation is very consistent with the details that Song Zhiyuan handed over today, which makes him frown when he thinks about it.

Zhao Ran hid in the room and eavesdropped on everyone's conversation, and the others didn't seem to shy away from his thoughts outside the house, and they all spoke loudly when they talked about him, occasionally mentioning him, with a mocking tone in and out of the words.

Jin Jiu came from the water room to find Zhang Ze, and when he met everyone talking in the courtyard, the two of them were surrounded and complimented, but they looked very complacent. However, Jin Jiu also has self-knowledge, he said to Zhang Ze in public that he planned to ask to see Song Xunzhao this time, and made it clear that he did not want to compete with Zhang Ze, so that Zhang Ze could put all his energy into the next round of examinations, and strive to win Feng Can in the number room, and win this good fortune for the dormitory.

Jin Jiu's extremely humble statement immediately won the favor of the Zhuhuo Gong laymen, and Zhang Ze was also extremely happy about it. Zhang Ze meant, first thanked Jin Jiu for his concession, and then he said that if he could accept the Dao Tong and officially become one of the Taoist Tong, he would definitely thank Jin Jiu vigorously, and at least make a Qiē effort to let Jin Jiu be able to ascend to the throne when the next Wuji Academy elected the Dao Tong.

In addition to Jin Jiu, the fireworkers also drew up a candidate for the next election - of course, it has nothing to do with Zhao Ran, and Zhao Ran in the room is angry and funny.

In addition to being annoyed, Zhao Ran's ruthlessness also came up--Don't you think Lao Tzu has no hope? Lao Tzu wants to show you, and let you grandsons all pull aside and cool off! Even if Lao Tzu loses in the end, he must not admit defeat so happily, and he must add a little blockage to you!

Thanks for the reward!
