Chapter Twenty-Four: Why is the Beauty of Adulthood?
After chatting in the flower hall for a long time, Zhao Ran couldn't hear anything famous, he knew that Kong Xianzun and Jin Xianwei had a banquet for Song Xunzhao, which was nothing more than that Song Xunzhao was very likely to take over as the head of Wuji Academy, so he made a good relationship in advance, and by the way, he sought the identity of a Taoist boy for Jin Jiu. It's certainly not going to be so direct, and it's bound to be full of twists and turns.
When it was time to open the banquet, Zhao Ran left the flower hall, and the three of them had dinner in the hall, presumably the theme would be unveiled when the meal was served. As for himself, when he stepped out of the flower hall, someone also greeted him, but it was Jin Jiu, who was slightly disgusted but not resentful.
It seems that because of the buffer of the small talk in the flower hall just now, Jin Jiu, who was struggling in his heart, has corrected his mentality at this moment, lowered his eyebrows and led the way forward, and brought Zhao Ran to the side hall of the small courtyard, where a table was also placed, which was specially made to entertain Zhao Ran. Zhao Ran looked at Jin Jiu's back in front of him playfully behind him, lamenting the earth-shaking changes in his identity in the past two years. If two years ago, he was a cloth cloth and grass people, in the eyes of this county lieutenant, where is it worth mentioning? Now this county lieutenant is respectful to himself, and his life experiences are really inexplicable.
The two sat down, Jin Jiu poured a full wine cup for Zhao Ran, and he took it up and drank it first, while Zhao Ran stopped drinking.
Jin Jiu sighed, gritted his teeth and got up, and gave a deep salute: "Brother Zhao, Daochang Zhao! In the past, it was all Jin's, Jin Mou made amends to the Daoist here! If Jin Jiu doesn't raise his eyes in the future, Daoist Zhao will punish him at will, and Jin will never complain...... Seeing that Zhao Ran was still smiling and didn't mean anything, he immediately gritted his teeth and said: "If the Daoist has any dispatch, just give orders, but if Jin can do it, he will never refuse!"
The latter sentence made Zhao Ran couldn't help but be moved, this guy is a posture to take refuge? He was stunned for a moment, and laughed dumbly: "What are you talking about? Where did you get to this step? But I don't know what difficulties you encountered?" Zhao Ran asked himself, although he was already a Taoist priest, and his homework was excellent, and he seemed to have a lot of connections among the high-level of Wuji Academy, but he just made people sell themselves to take refuge - his own Wang Baqi seemed to be lacking, and the only explanation was that Jin Jiu in front of him had asked for himself.
Maybe Song Xunzhao brought himself today and gave the Jin family a hint?
Just thinking about it, I heard Jin Jiu say: "I'm ashamed to say that Jin has joined the Taoist Academy for four years, but he is still in charge of miscellaneous labor. Although this is nothing, there are more people in the Wuji Courtyard than Jin who have been in the Daoist Academy for a long time, and they can still wait patiently for the period of ten years of the Fire Residence. But Jin Mou's heart to the Tao is very strong, but he can't wait, and he hopes that Zhao Daochang will achieve a lot. ”
"How do you want me to help you?"
"Please say a few kind words in front of Song Xunzhao! Song Xunzhao attaches great importance to Zhao Daochang, and with Zhao Daochang's help, this matter will be done!"
Zhao Ran pondered for a moment and asked: "I remember that last year, each room recommended the Daotong, and you were already under Song Xunzhao's consideration, even if I don't say it, Song Xunzhao will also be kind to you, otherwise I wouldn't have come to your house for a banquet, why are you so anxious?"
But Song Xunzhao also has a lot of love for Zhang Ze. ”
Zhao Ranqi said: "Aren't you and Zhang Ze always brothers? Even if it is not your turn this year, it will definitely be you next year." Moreover, the patrol is about to take over as the head of the hospital, whether it is this year or next year, as long as he is recommended, when the 'Sandu' is collegial, he will not be able to run away from the Taoist child. ”
Jin Jiu sighed: "It was originally like this, but Zhang Ze's ...... this guy" sighed, and turned into indignation: "This guy doesn't know what kind of madness he has, these days he has been competing with me everywhere, and now he is worse than the enemy! ”
Zhao Ran was displeased: "What is the dispute? What is the root cause? You can explain it, otherwise I can't help you." ”
Jin Jiu gritted his teeth and said: "The Taoist chief doesn't know, that Zhang Ze made a trick in front of everyone, tricking me into betting with him, if he recommends him this year, I will lose." ”
"If you're recommended, you'll win?"
"Uh...... This is natural, otherwise what kind of gambling is there to talk about?" Jin Jiu was slightly embarrassed.
"How much did you bet?"
“...... Not much, just a thousand or two...... The main thing is to fight for breath......"
"Tell the truth!"
"Three thousand taels ......"
"Huh?"
"Five thousand taels! It's really five thousand taels, I swear to Sanqing Dao, that's all, half of them are taken out of the public treasury of the clan, if you lose, Jin really can't explain to your father!
Zhao Ran has a black line, and secretly says that this guy still doesn't change, it's really a gambler's temperament.
He pulled out the acquaintances he knew when he was a fireworker and took a turn in his mind, and none of them were suitable candidates for this year's recommendation. Guan Er's goal of entering Wuji Academy is set, he will enter Fangtang in the future, and then return to Weiyuan Dart Bureau to be his chief dart head, in the words of the first life, it belongs to "directional training"; Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai, whose background and qualifications are not qualified, will never be considered by Song Xunzhao: As for other people, their friendships are general, and they don't need to be deliberately cared for. I thought about it for a while, and there was really no suitable person to help in the entrainment.
After thinking about it, Zhang Ze and Jin Jiu, who can be recommended by the Taoist priest this year, it doesn't matter to him, in comparison, Jin Jiu has fewer conflicts with him. Now that Jin Jiu has given himself a soft face, he will try his best to fulfill Jin Jiu, it is just a sentence, and he will not suffer any losses.
Because he said: "I can pass on a word or two on your behalf, but as for who Senior Brother Patrol finally wants, Senior Brother has his own plans, and he may not be able to do it." ”
Jin Jiu got this sentence, he was already a hundred times grateful, and he was busy making a wish: "Whether it succeeds or not, in short, Jin has written down the great grace of the Taoist." Well, if it can be done, Jin is willing to share the profits equally with the Taoist!"
Zhao Ran was noncommittal, and only laughed casually: "Converge and restrain your gambling nature, otherwise sooner or later all the dirty pants will be exported!"
Jin Jiu responded with a smile, and was even more flattering, and said that when Zhao Ran had time, he would put wine on the Baifeng Tower in Guyang County to thank him, and invite the best top-brand Honggu to wait for Zhao Ran.
The meal was enjoyed by the guests and hosts, and when Song Xunzhao's banquet was over, it was already nightfall.
Song Xunzhao thanked Kong Xianzun and Jin Xianwei for their good intentions to stay overnight, and returned to Wuji Mountain by night, this time is particularly cautious for Song Xunzhao, such as prostitutes, no one cares about them on weekdays, but at this moment they have to guard against others from saying things with this, after all, there is a clear prohibition in the Taoist precepts.
On the way, Zhao Ran cautiously asked Song Xunzhao about his impression of Zhang Ze and Jin Jiu, and Song Xunzhao asked Zhao Ran if he was entrusted by Jin Jiuzhi to come forward to make a statement, and Zhao Ran was honest. Song Xunzhao said that this matter still has to be pondered again, if it is placed in the past, it is not a big deal to respond to the Jin family, but now is an extraordinary period, and you have to think twice.
Maybe it was because he drank a lot of wine during the banquet, and Song Xunzhao also opened up his conversation to Zhao Ran, and he told Zhao Ran that even if Jin Jiu was recommended, he would not necessarily choose Jin Jiu when the three capitals were collegiate, and Feng Can and Zhuang Huai were the most competitive candidates for the qualifications of Daotong.
Song Xunzhao said everything he could say to Zhao Ran, and if he couldn't say it explicitly, he also hinted at Zhao Ran. In short, the qualifications for being recommended by Mu Daotong this time are likely to be related to Song Xunzhao's taking over the post of the prison court. Feng Can's backstage is Feng Tongzhi of Long'an Mansion, and Zhuang Huai's backstage is Zhuang Shuitou of the Water Room of Xizhenwu Palace, thinking of the background of these two, Zhao Ran speculated that maybe Song Xunzhao wanted to use this as a bargaining chip for his successful promotion. Thinking about it carefully, after all, Lieutenant Jin still couldn't help Song Xunzhao in taking over the prison.
However, what Zhao Ran promised was to help Jin Jiu say something, let Jin Jiu suppress Zhang Ze and stand out from the squatter, as long as he can do this, Jin Jiu can win the gamble, even if he has completed his promise to help, as for whether Jin Jiu can go to the last step, it is none of Zhao Ran's business. At that moment, he thanked Song Xunzhao on behalf of Jin Jiu.
In just a few words, Zhang Ze was tragic, from another point of view, the distant nephew of the court's squire is still not as important as the son of the county lieutenant under his jurisdiction, it seems that this point is the same in ancient and modern times.
Speaking of which, Song Xunzhao didn't hide it, but asked Zhao Ran, if he didn't take over well, could he ask which immortal chief of the Descendants Temple to come forward?
Zhao Ran was full of promises, but after agreeing, he was covered in cold sweat. He pondered that this was the ultimate purpose of Song Xunzhao's trip with him today, but did he really want to ask Ken Yumo for this? If he really did this, Zhao Ran was 100% sure that it would definitely be to block Yumo.
I only hope that Song Xunzhao can take over smoothly - Zhao Ran can only secretly pray to Sanqing Daozun for Song Xunzhao.
Thanks to Brother Yangzhigang for the reward.
