Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Problem of Style Is Fatal
Getting up from the bed, Zhao Ran put the oil lamp in his hand, and prepared to write a letter on the table.
Since he had money, he hoarded some fine paper and used it to practice calligraphy and write letters to Yumo. The pen is a wolf hair given by Yu Zhiyuan, and the inkstone is also how to send it to Yu Zhiyuan, called "Langya", all from the hands of famous artists.
Zhao Ran dipped the pen in ink, brushed and began to write a letter to Yumo, greetings, mentioned the opportunity to transfer to the Daotong, he said to Yumo that he is studying hard, hoping to get this only place with excellent results. There was no idea of letting Yumo help him talk in the letter, whether the other party would take the initiative to help, or even whether he had the time to see the letter in time, was between the two. Just like he thought before, a manly man, he is always embarrassed to take the initiative, right? In that case, the relationship between the two will really turn sour, even if Yumo helps and succeeds in making him suffer, the gains and losses are really unclear.
After writing the letter to Yumo, he picked up the pen and began to write another letter, this letter was for Chu Yangcheng, of course, the letter would definitely not be directly delivered to Chu Yangcheng, Zhao Ran's plan was to go to Chu Yangcheng's secular mansion, hoping to pass it on to the other party.
Zhao Ran first thanked Chu Yangcheng for saving his life in Qingping Mountain, and at the same time thanked the other party for bringing him to Wuji Courtyard and giving him the opportunity to enter the Daomen. He briefly described his life in the Daomen, saying that he was all right, and asked the other party to rest assured. After greetings, he began to talk about the quota of Wuji Academy this time, saying that he was working hard to fight for it, hoping that Chu Yangcheng could help him again.
After writing it, he stuffed the letter into an envelope and was about to seal it with fire paint, but after hesitating for a moment, he took it out again, read it again, and decisively erased all the words asking for help.
Pick it up and read it again, sighed with his forehead in his hand, and once again drew down all the things that had a quota for the Wuji Academy, leaving only those words of thanks.
The reason why this is so is because Zhao Ran has gradually calmed down. Thinking about this matter in terms of his life experience, he suddenly felt that he was too much. I basically don't have any friendship with Chu Yangcheng, if there is, it is also people's life-saving feelings, why should I ask Chu Yangcheng for help?
It is people's kindness to give grace without asking for anything in return, think about it from another angle, what you are most afraid of doing good deeds is that the recipient will rely on himself from now on, if he really makes this request, Chu Yangcheng is afraid that he will be extremely unhappy!
After transcribing the words of thanks, Zhao Ran blew out the lamp and went to bed. He lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and he tossed and turned until the next day, and his spirit suddenly withered a lot.
After being busy with the duties of the canteen, Zhao Ran first went to Yu Zhiyuan and asked him to send a letter to Yumo for him, and then asked the handyman who delivered the ingredients to send a message and called the gold shopkeeper to see him.
The golden shopkeeper rushed to the mountain gate, and after the report, he came to the squatter to find Zhao Ran. Zhao Ran dragged him into his house, opened his mouth and asked: "Every time you are resting, do you know the father and daughter who went up to the mountain gate to complain?"
After a little bit of brainstorming, the golden shopkeeper figured out who Zhao Ran was talking about, because he said, "What the Taoist chief said is Old Man Hu and his daughter?"
"I don't know his surname Hu, but in short, it's the old man who accused Jin Jiu and Zhang Ze of raping his daughter. ”
"That's Old Man Hu, this old man is greedy for money and doesn't follow the right path......"
Zhao Ran waved his hand to interrupt the golden shopkeeper: "I know the truth inside, I'll ask you, can you find his father and daughter?"
The golden shopkeeper asked, "Do you have any instructions for the Taoist chief to find them?" The little one immediately sent them over to see them, but they couldn't enter the mountain, and they didn't wait to see his father and daughter in the courtyard. ”
Zhao Ran stared at the golden shopkeeper for a moment, and saw that the golden shopkeeper was uncomfortable, and then said lightly: "Old Jin, you say, can I trust you?"
As soon as these words came out, the shopkeeper Jin was immediately so aggrieved that he almost cried, and he shouted to the heavens and said: "God, what did the Taoist chief say, I, Jin, am willing to go to the fire in the water for the Taoist chief......"
"That's it, just say it casually, Lao Jin, don't take it to heart. That being the case, I have something to ask you to help with. ”
The shopkeeper Jin immediately patted his chest and swore an oath: "The Taoist chief ordered that Jin will do his best!"
Zhao Ran said: "You go to find that old man Hu, aren't his father and daughter singing? Make up a joke, write his experience into lyrics, and let him go everywhere with Guyang County, whether it's a tea shop, or even on the street, you must sing as much as you can." In addition, you can also find some storytellers, compile the things of his Jin Jiu, Zhang Ze and his daughter, and talk about it with great fanfare, remember, to write with twists and turns, ups and downs, especially those ** grace of the experience, both detailed and obscure, to be able to detain people's hearts and attract people to listen. ”
The golden shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and said, "This ...... Will it offend those two too much? One is from the county governor's family, and the other is from the court's central court's family, if they continue to pursue the investigation and implicate the Taoist chief, I am afraid it will not be beautiful. Furthermore...... Tossing with such fanfare, I'm afraid that he won't dare to ...... old man Hu"
Zhao Ran sneered: "Don't mention the names of Jin Jiu and Zhang Ze in the lyrics, just replace them with side names." For example, Jin Yuan, Zhang Bo and the like, without naming names, who is willing to go forward with their own family and take the initiative to admit this bad reputation?"
Seeing that the gold shopkeeper was still hesitant, he took out two hundred taels of silver tickets: "One hundred taels is your expenses, and the other hundred taels, as long as Old Man Hu makes a fuss about this matter, he will be allowed to give it to him." Didn't he go to the mountain gate every time he was resting and shout his grievances? For how much silver? But it's just a few dozen taels? You just ask him, here is a hundred taels, do he do it or not?"
The shopkeeper Jin looked at the silver ticket, gritted his teeth and took it, and was about to make a determination or something, when he heard Zhao Ran say: "Old Jin, you remember, you can find someone else to do this matter, you don't want to come forward yourself, and don't let Old Man Hu know the roots." The messenger also has to go out from afar, and he can't turn around until the matter is over, I don't want to implicate you, understand?"
Hearing this, the golden shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart couldn't help but feel warm, secretly it seems that this Zhao Daochang is not a ruthless person, if something really happens, I am afraid that he will try to protect himself, so he swore a curse to Zhao Ran, and then left.
After five or six days, the topic of Jin Jiu and Zhang Ze rang out again in Guyang County. Old man Hu's father and daughter sang a set of lyrics in the ** and tea shops, many of which were vague but blushing and heartbeating. Although the relevant characters in the lyrics pretend to be his name, the listeners are all automatically brought in as Jin Jiu and Zhang Ze, plus the woman in the story sings in person, this gimmick is definitely full of selling points!
Just think about it, the woman singing the song opposite is the person in the story who was kissed by two men in the bed, how interesting is this? Every time it is sung, its full sense of scene is all imaginative, and it is full of reverie, and even the blood is full of blood, and the heart is itching.
For a time, the value of the Hu family's father and daughter surged, and the son-in-law who wanted to listen to his song was like a carp crossing the river, and the daughter of the Hu family became the top brand of Guyang County's song, and it is said that the price of a pro-Fang Ze directly turned to ten taels of silver!
Immediately afterwards, among several tea shops and taverns, there was a storyteller who began to talk about the book with the title of "Mandarin Duck Three-ring Love", and the words were extremely obscure and tactful, so that the listeners couldn't stop.
As Zhao Ran expected, because the characters involved were not their original names, it was difficult for the county officials to arrest people, which gave the county lieutenant Jin and the Zhang family a headache, so they had to secretly send people out, or lure or coercion, so that the Hu family's father and daughter and the storytellers were silenced.
But the matter has been hyped up, and if you want to eliminate the impact, is it feasible overnight?
The lively things of Guyang County have naturally spread to Wuji Mountain, and the courtyard has been self-supervised by the Prison Courtyard and Sandu, down to the deacons, the heads of all parties and a group of Taoist priests and fireworkers, all of whom have heard of it, and many people have even taken advantage of the rest to go to Guyang County to listen to the tunes and books in person, and after coming back, they have publicized it. There are even people who use a lot of money to get the good of the Hu woman overnight, which is a joke among colleagues.
In mid-November, each deacon's office announced the candidates to be recommended by Mu Daotong, and Zhao Ran was on the list of Song Xunzhao's recommendations and became the only candidate for the dormitory.
