Chapter 22: Love Letters and the Road to Ascension
After entering June, Zhao Ran received a letter, and when he received the letter, he was very inexplicable, and even suspected that someone was joking with him. When the envelope was opened, there was a sketch of a character sketched with a light brush, and a one-foot-square picture showed a man foreshadowing. Zhao Ran looked carefully, and now the man's eyebrows were a little familiar, and after two more glances, he could tell that the person in the painting was actually himself.
The thin fine plain paper exudes a faint fragrance, and the smell is refreshing. Looking at the left side of the painting page, there is a seal of square inch size, carefully distinguished, but it is the four words "Taoist rain ink".
Zhao Ran couldn't help laughing, and the graceful and luxurious female Taoist priest in the scattered pavilion in Beacon Villa that day appeared in front of him.
Is this a love letter? Zhao Ran scratched his head, could it be that my words are really so attractive? Zhao Ran thought for a moment, and then decided not to bother himself.
The hierarchical gap in this world is deeper and bigger than the world before the crossing, the difference between the identities of Zhao Ran and Yumo is extremely different, one is a poor boy from Zhao Zhuang, the other is the daughter of several wealthy families, one is a fireworker who sweeps the toilet in the Taoist courtyard, and the other is a serious Taoist priest with a degree, Zhao Ran wants to have a plan, at least for now, it is absolutely impossible, even if he is now worth more than 10,000, it is still not worth mentioning in front of the Zhou family.
Zhao Ran didn't know what to say, so he simply didn't say anything, and asked Guan Er to help find a pen and paper and write a riddle:
"On a midsummer night, the scorpion tiger husband and wife were looking for food on the wall, and after the meal, the wife and husband said a word, and the husband was planted on the ground. Q, what do you mean by that?"
The scorpion tiger is the gecko, the riddle describes a very interesting little story, in the story, the gecko who is the husband fell off the wall because of a word from his wife, Zhao Ran asked Yumo, what is this sentence.
Zhao Ran said two sentences of rain ink very implicitly, then stuffed the letter paper into the envelope, and went to find Yu Zhiyuan after sealing it. The letter was forwarded by Yu Zhiyuan, and the letters of this era did not have stamps, and it was all up to the sender to run errands, and if Zhao Ran wanted to reply to the letter, he could only ask Yu Zhiyuan.
Yu Zhiyuan took the letter entrusted by Zhao Ran, didn't say anything, and smiled with a hint of worry.
Zhao Ran knew what Yu Zhiyuan was thinking, he and Yu Zhiyuan intersected, and with his calligraphy talent, Yu Zhiyuan did not ignore him because of his identity and family background. Similarly, because of his unique calligraphy, when he was in Beacon Villa that day, the Zhou family was also very thoughtful and enthusiastic about him. But this does not mean that he has the qualifications to get married to the Zhou family, "pen talk" is "pen talk", but if you want to upgrade "pen talk" to "talk about love", it is Zhao Ran "ignorant of current affairs".
Therefore, he said to Yu Zhiyuan: "Yumo Daoist wanted to ask for a few words, so he weighed her mind and replied to her a few words." â
Yu Zhiyuan nodded, still a little uneasy, and after hesitating for a moment, he said: "The Zhou family is a big clan in Sichuan, and the ancestors have been elders, and the father of Zhou Fuzun has also been an official to Shangshu, only because he died early, it has declined slightly in recent years." But Fu Zun is a very capable person, and he looks like he is going to go further......"
The following words are not too thorough, he hesitated slightly, and saw Zhao Ran nodding to show that he understood, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "The Zhou family and the Daomen are very deep, and Yumo's uncle is enshrined in Lushan...... Yumo is the daughter of the Zhou Mansion, since she was a child, she has been regarded as a pearl in the palm of her hand, her qualifications are very good, and entering the Suxin Nunnery is just the beginning, and the future achievements are limitless. â
Zhao Ran was silent and sighed softly. Yu Zhiyuan said that Yumo's qualifications are very good, which means that this woman will take the path of cultivation in the future, and enter the temple of the descendants of the Daomen, that is, the path of the pavilion, which is completely different from the ten jungles such as Wuji Courtyard. That is another piece of heaven and earth in the Daomen, it is the true way of immortals, for ordinary people, it is the legendary existence zĂ i, and with Zhao Ran's current blunt qualifications, it is absolutely untouchable. Therefore, although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, he did not expect that the gap between them would be so huge.
Seeing that Zhao Ran's feelings were low, Yu Zhiyuan was a little unbearable, and asked, "Brother Zhao has been in the house for a month?"
Zhao Ran nodded yes, and Yu Zhiyuan said again: "There are two deficiencies in the second room of water and fire......
Zhao Ran smiled bitterly: "I don't plan to add people to the courtyard." â
Yu Zhiyuan pondered for a moment and said, "If my brother is interested, maybe I can help talk about it." I still have a little thin face in front of Song Xunzhao in the dormitory, and I can say a thing or two on my behalf. â
After the abbot of Wuji Academy, the prison and the three capitals, the actual person in charge is the deacon of the eight rooms, and the squatter belongs to the largest room among the eight rooms. The head of the dormitory adjusts personnel to each other, which belongs to Song Zhiyuan's scope of authority, but the room is slightly different, no one wants to do the work of the sweeper, if this opening is opened, Song Zhiyuan will not be able to refuse others again, and the final result is that there is no one in the room.
The squatter patrol is one of the eight deacons, and Yu Zhiyuan is only one of the "five masters and eighteen heads", not only is the position one level worse, but the power is not to be calculated. But with Zhao Ran's observation, Yu Zhiyuan's doorway is very deep, and since he said so, there should be hope that it will be done.
In the face of Zhiyuan's kindness, Zhao Ran was full of joy, but in addition to joy, he couldn't help but be a little afraid.
During these days, the fireworkers in the clean house and the house were not in a good mood, and everyone often got together at dusk, but they were not interested in playing money and gambling, and most of the discussions were about the dull topic of changing jobs.
When Zhao Ran went back from Yu Zhiyuan, the fire dwellers were chatting in the courtyard, and they were still talking about this matter, but the atmosphere was very dull.
Jiao Tan has been sweeping for more than nine months, Zhou Huai has also been working for seven months, and it has passed the six-month average of the firehouse sweepers. Now that there are no new people in the Taoist Academy, they can only continue to survive.
Someone persuaded them to find Zhou Zhixiu, the head of the circle, and walked the way, but Zhou Huai was an understanding person, and sneered on the spot: "If Brother Jiao and I leave, only Brother Zhao is left, where can we do it alone, is Zhou Zhixiu willing to do it himself? He did everything possible to stay in trouble, we are too late, where will he help us to go to the door?"
The gossip mentioned Jia Fatzi again, and someone sighed: "I don't know who Jia Fatzi offended, sprinkled for seven years, and the cat is ...... here" was still to be said, but he was pulled by someone by his sleeve and pulled, only to see Jia Fatzi come out of the north house, bent his waist and looked at the chatting crowd, and then slammed the door back to the room, and the sound of closing the door was so loud that everyone was really shocked.
Guan Er was practicing boxing at the gate of the courtyard, and he made a move to flick his legs and stagnate slightly, then shook his head, and did not continue to practice, but quietly paced away along the mountain path behind him.
Zhao Ran looked at the scene in front of him, the more frightened he became, and thought to himself, when Lao Tzu is transferred to the water room or the fire room, you may not be scolding me behind my back here...... When Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai couldn't sleep that night, Zhao Ran was also preoccupied, and the three of them occasionally turned around at the same time and sighed in unison, as if they had made an appointment, which seemed quite "tacit".
Yu Zhiyuan was really neat, and he came to call Zhao Ran the next day.
followed Yu Zhiyuan around and around and went to the backyard. The backyard is not a courtyard, but a residence of high-ranking Taoist priests composed of more than a dozen small courtyards. The abbot, the prison and the three capitals each lived in one house, and the eight deacons lived in one house in twos and twos. In fact, this is not only a residence, but also a place for high-ranking Taoist deacons.
For example, in the small courtyard where Yu Zhiyuan and Zhao Ran entered, the main hall in Chongbei was divided into two, with Song Zhiyuan's deacon hall on the left and his living place on the west.
There were no others in the small courtyard, but Zhao Ran obviously felt cramped. It has been a month since he came to Wuji Academy, and Zhao Ran has heard and witnessed it, and he has a deeper understanding of this Taoist Academy than before.
In the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the Guyang County Yamen was the yamen of the imperial court to control the heaven and the earth, and the Wuji Yuan was the institution that supervised the Guyang County Ya on behalf of the Daomen. And the real behind-the-scenes controller of Guyang County lives in this small courtyard - seemingly simple, but in fact profound, because it represents the majesty of power
