By dusk, there were already more than 20 monks in the back garden of Junshan Temple, including Taoist disciples in the pavilion, as well as scattered cultivators and family backgrounds.

Most of the people inside, Zhao Ran didn't know each other, and under the recommendation of Dongfang Jing, Pei Zhongze, Rong Niang and others, they also saluted each other, which can be regarded as familiar.

Seeing that it was dark, Zhao Ran ordered Jin Jiu and others to fetch more than a dozen red lanterns and hang them around the courtyard wall. Jin Jiu and the others were about to twist the fire and light the lamp, but they saw Rong Niang casually punching out a string of shiny beads, one in a lantern, no fire and self-lighting, illuminating the back garden as bright as day.

It turns out that this is the real pearl of the night, Zhao Ran was stunned, and couldn't help but pay a little attention to Rong Niang's family background, and secretly turned around to ask Dongfang and others about which family this girl was, and why she was so generous.

Seeing that the lights were also turned on, the bonfire was burning, and the butcher even went down in person, taking the two cooks to work on the matter of cutting mutton, Zhao Ran estimated that the banquet was about to start, so he quietly retreated to the corner, thinking about the thank you draft for a while.

Speaking in public, Zhao Ran is still quite good at it, and speeches similar to thanksgiving are nothing more than welcome, review, thanks, and hope. But if you want to speak well, speak wonderfully, and people love to listen, you must add some small skills.

For example, try to name all the monks present, and those who are familiar may wish to take it out to make a joke, and those who are not familiar with it should fully express their gratitude, interspersed with a few small jokes, and say a few obscure meat jokes.

Of course, in order to be able to infect people, Zhao Ran also added his hardships when he first sought the Tao in the manuscript, and by the way, he could also pull the great refiner Chu Yangcheng into the story to tell it, didn't there be a few monks just now who heard that he was a temple blessing and didn't think much of himself? It just so happens that Zhao Ran is very good at pulling tiger skins!

In short, this speech should fully express his gratitude, after all, whether people are facing the face of the East or the face of Rongniang, they can come to Junshan from afar to celebrate their promotion to the position of capital manager, they are all to give themselves face, and these will be their own connections in the future, and they must try their best to maintain them.

Seeing that the manuscript was almost completed, I saw Dongfang Jing go up to the small pavilion alone, and all the monks gathered under the pavilion.

I only listened to Dongfang respectfully: "Fellow Daoists, today's congratulatory banquet is very innovative, very natural and easy-going, idle and hearted, in line with the essence of my Taoism, I Dongfang is very happy in my heart, thank Rong Niang for her hospitality and careful preparation." Originally, this banquet was convened by Rong Niang, but since she regards me as a brother, then I will greet you as a brother, thank you for her hard work, thank you for your attention, let's drink a cup first, after drinking, please come up to thank you. ”

Zhao Ran also took a wine glass, drank all the wine in the cup, and secretly said Do you want to take out some strange flowers and fruits left by Bai Shanjun, squeeze the juice and drink it or use it as a dessert after the meal? Dongfang and Rong Niang are really sorry to work so hard for me.

But after thinking about it, I still didn't give up.

I heard Dongfang Jing say on the pavilion: "Next, please enter the pavilion and thank you fellow Daoists." ”

Zhao Ran put down the wine glass, re-straightened the righteous robe and crown, stepped up the three steps, entered the pavilion and came to Dongfang Jing's side, and nodded to Dongfang Jing.

Dongfang Jing's eyelids jumped, and he asked Zhao Ran with his eyes: "?"

Zhao Ran smiled and nodded in response, then turned around and saw Rong Niang under the steps and asked in a low voice, "How many words do you say first?"

Zhao Ran continued to smile and nodded, and then said to the monks: "Welcome all Taoist friends to the picturesque Junshan, on behalf of all the Taoist friends of Junshan Temple and the 40,000 people in the Junshan area, I extend my warmest welcome to all Taoist friends!"

After a pause, seeing that no one applauded below, Zhao Ran felt a little regretful, these people still lack the experience of listening to speeches, otherwise the atmosphere should be much better. But it doesn't matter, it's good to be able to express your gratitude clearly and make a deep impression on everyone.

So, he continued: "To tell the truth, Xiaodao's promotion to Wuji Academy is just a small thing in the jungle of the ten directions of my Daomen, and it is just a small improvement of Xiaodao and me, but it makes all Daoists come thousands of miles to celebrate, and I am really ashamed in my heart......."

Zhao Ran's speech lasted for about a stick of incense, not long or short, the time was just right, after speaking, he hugged his fists again, bowed deeply to the monks in the field, and then went down the pavilion in a dashing manner.

There was sparse applause in the back garden, and Zhao Ran saw that it was the family members of Jin Jiu and other Junshan Temple who were surrounding the side applauding. As for the monks, they looked at each other, and then glanced at Zhao Ran with all kinds of strange eyes.

Zhao Ran felt a little wrong, and hurriedly recalled whether there was anything wrong with what he had just said, pondered for a moment, and never understood the point.

Suddenly, Dongfang Jing coughed dryly, and then spoke: "Hehe, today's banquet turned out to be double happiness! Senior Brother Zhao was promoted to the position of the capital of Wuji Academy, indeed, well, that ...... Something to celebrate...... Well, that, next, we invite Rong Niang to come up and thank everyone, Rong Niang broke the yellow crown this time, it is a ...... Well, it's a great event......"

Zhao Ran's face turned red, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into. It didn't matter what Rong Niang said later, he didn't listen to it at all, stumbled out of the moon cave gate, returned to his temple room, threw himself on the bed, and stuffed his whole head into the futon for a long time, for a long time......

After I don't know how long, I heard someone knocking on the door, Zhao Ran heard the footsteps of Rong Niang, and he didn't care about it under shame.

Rong Niang continued to knock on the door: "Is there anyone?"

"No one!"

"Bang dang", Rong Niang kicked the door open, saw Zhao Ran holding his head with a pillow and futon, curled up on the bed, reached out and lifted his futon, seeing Zhao Ran's unhappy face, she suddenly couldn't help laughing: "Haha, Zhao, Zhao Zhiran, why are you so funny!"

"Don't base your happiness on other people's pain!"

"Haha, okay, haha...... What, congratulations to Senior Brother Zhao on his promotion to the Grand Governor of Wuji Academy...... Everything, haha......"

"Besides, I'm going to turn against you!"

"Your hair is so funny, inch by inch, this girl touches it. ”

Zhao Ran slapped Rong Niang's hand open, and said, "Don't hit people in the face, don't touch people's heads, haven't you heard of it?"

"Okay, okay, haha, get down to business, I'm here to congratulate you sincerely......"

Zhao Ran sat up, stared at Rong Niang, and said very seriously: "It's really turned around!"

Rong Niang laughed for a while, sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out her hand and patted a piece of paper on Zhao Ran's head: "Congratulations to Zhao Damiao, I wish you to be promoted to Zhao Daduguan, this is a congratulatory gift!"

Zhao Ran caught the page that fell from his forehead and found that it was a talisman, and when he looked closely, it was actually a fifth-order talisman!

Rong Niang smiled and said, "Don't be angry, it's not mine, who knows that you were promoted?"

"What kind of charm is this?"

"The Burning Sun Pill Fire Talisman, as long as you go out, kill a mage or something, it doesn't take much effort, what, are you satisfied?" asked Rong Niang with a smile.

"Well, I accept your apology!" Zhao Ran replied very sincerely.
