Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Just when Zhao Ran wanted to take a step closer to distinguish it carefully, Yu Zhiyuan carried a wooden box out of the mountain gate. He dragged Zhao Ran and walked down the mountain. As he walked, he complained: "Brother Zhao, don't get involved in these noisy things."  , then you will regret it if you cause yourself a lot of trouble!"

    Zhao Ran was so distracted by Yu Zhiyuan that he completely woke up. He was ashamed in his heart and a little worried on his face. He said awkwardly: "The complaint made by the person who complained about injustice was very serious, so I took a few more glances to know whether it was true or not."

    Yu Zhiyuan said: "This matter exists, but it cannot withstand further investigation. The father and daughter are singers in a restaurant, and they make a living by singing. Jin Jiu and Zhang Ze admitted that they had agreed on a three-liang deal one night.  When the matter was over, they asked for thirty taels, and a conflict broke out, and the old man's son was also injured. The father and daughter did not dare to complain to the officials, and only came to the Taoist temple once every ten days.  , I just want Jin Jiu and Zhang Ze to pay some money."

    Zhao Ran asked: "They are blocking the way outside the Taoist Academy, and the Supervisory Academy doesn't care?"

    Yu Zhiyuan said: "There are many people who come to the Taoist Court every year to complain about grievances. How can the prison guard take care of this kind of thing? The more you want to take care of this kind of thing, the more people will entangle you like brown sugar and throw them away.  Don¡¯t take it off. If someone is killed, it will damage the Taoist temple¡¯s reputation, so we simply let it fend for itself. As time goes by, these people who complain about injustice will naturally dissipate."

    Zhao Ran secretly slandered, already like this, why do you still care about "clear reputation"?  If you really want to keep your "clean reputation", you should strictly prohibit people in Taoist temples from sleeping outside in prostitution!  But then I thought about it, and it seems that Yu Zhiyuan once said that the Taoist temple is the most "local" place for the Taoist sect. In fact, in my understanding, it is the yamen where the Taoist sect supervises the secular world and requires everyone to abide by the rules and precepts. That is not feasible.  , and the Huo Gong laymen are not Taoist priests who have received excessive punishment, and they are not among this list.

    In this world that is very different from that of later generations, the Ming Dynasty itself did not allow officials to stay in prostitution, and going in and out of brothels was even considered a refined thing. How could lay people in the field of fire work be required to strictly discipline themselves?

    "Can the Jin family and the Zhang family let the father and daughter continue to complain in front of the mountain gate?"

    "This is a trivial matter to begin with. No one would make a fuss about it. As I said, after a while, it will naturally dissipate."

    The two talked and came to the foot of the mountain. Yu Zhiyuan easily hired a carriage and gave the handlebar two taels of silver. The handlebar laughed so hard that the corners of his eyes were sewn together. According to Yu Zhiyuan's request,  Working hard to drive the car speeding down the official road.

    Yu Zhiyuan knew that Zhao Ran went to work last night to clean the house and probably didn't have a good rest at the moment, so he told him to close his eyes and rest.  Zhao Ran was indeed very sleepy, so he was not polite. He stretched out his hand to drag a cotton pad, leaned against the wall of the compartment, and fell asleep in a moment.

    By the time Zhao Ran woke up, it was just noon, and because it had already entered early summer, the air was full of heat.  Wet wipes were prepared in the car. Zhao Ran wiped his face and felt much more energetic. Yu Zhiyuan asked him to get out of the car.

    The carriage drove directly to the main entrance of Beacon Villa. There were many cars parked outside the gate. Yu Zhiyuan asked the man to wait outside and walked in with Zhao Ran.

    A steward of the villa came up to them. After checking the invitation, he introduced the two of them inside.

    Beacon Mountain Villa occupies the most scenic valley on the southeast side of Beacon Mountain. All the houses and pavilions are nestled among the green pines and cypresses. The winding paths lead to secluded places, with flowers and stones scattered here and there.  There are also natural meandering water bottles and exquisite waterfalls hanging on the cliffs. The scenery is absolutely beautiful.

    Walking among the paths, the heat has long been dissipated, your eyes are clear, and your face is slightly cool.

    The Zhou family is from a wealthy family in Sichuan Province and has spent decades polishing this villa. Its heritage is by no means comparable to that of Zhao Ran, a nouveau riche at the gambling table.

    When we came to a clear stream, there was a series of pavilions surrounded by green bamboos. The name of the pavilion was "Chaosluo".  More than ten people had gathered in the pavilion, chatting in twos and threes, splashing ink on calligraphy and painting boards, and some leaning in the gallery and drinking wine, looking like they were enjoying themselves.

    The steward leading the way quietly retreated at some point, and a young man came out of the pavilion. He greeted him warmly from a distance: "Mr. Yu, why are you here at this time? You are late today, so I will punish you for painting more."  A few!¡±

    Yu Zhiyuan is good at painting fish, and the word fish is a homophone to his last name, so the pen name on the calligraphy and painting is "Mr. Fish".  Zhao Ran gave himself a vulgar pen name and called him "Mountain Guest".

    Yu Zhiyuan laughed and answered a few words with the young master, and then introduced Zhao Ran: "Master Zhou, this is Zhao Ran, a member of our Taoist academy. He has a tacit understanding with Pindao and has excellent calligraphy. This time he also came with Pindao to attend the meeting.  Great event.¡±

    Zhao Ran quickly handed over his hand: "Master Zhou, Zhao is taking the liberty of coming here, and I still hope Haihan."

    Mr. Zhou was slightly surprised, then overjoyed: "Oh? Is Brother Zhao a guest in the mountains?My brother's calligraphy panel is very innovative, and my father likes it very much. Unfortunately, I only got one, but today is a great day. I won't give up until you add a few more characters!  "

    Zhao Ran was stunned, nodded and said: "Make Mr. Zhou laugh."

    Mr. Zhou laughed and took Yu Zhiyuan and Zhao Ran into the pavilion.  The people in the pavilion were dressed in various colors and of varying ages. There were elders with white beards, a calm and restrained middle-aged man, and a young man about the same age as Zhao Ran, who was decorated with jade and looked unusually chic and suave.  .

    There is a middle-aged man in his forties with great energy, who is the owner of this room, Zhou Gao, the prefect of Long'an Prefecture.  Zhou Fuzun greeted the two of them very politely, and at the same time praised Zhao Ran's handwriting. He hoped that Zhao Ran would write more paintings today so that he could keep them.

    Seeing that Zhou Fuzun's attitude towards Zhao Ran was very good, the others also greeted Zhao Ran politely, saying nothing more than "Brother Zhao's reputation is as loud as thunder. I am lucky to see him today." They even greeted Zhao Ran politely.  Even the fire masters of Wujiyuan didn't know it, so these words revealed hypocrisy and pretentiousness.

    But the dashing and suave young man seemed to have really heard about Zhao Ran, and said to Zhao Ran: "I have seen the calligraphy of Mountain Guest, and it is indeed original and somewhat new." Although the words were polite, they sounded different.  A sour smell.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT

    Yu Zhiyuan obviously had other things to do here besides attending the gathering. He pulled Zhou Fuzun out of Cuoluo Pavilion and disappeared behind the bamboo forest.

    Mr. Zhou asked Zhao Ran to do whatever he wanted, so Zhao Ran watched the famous calligraphers and painters in the pavilion splashing ink on the spot.  After walking around the pavilion, I found that among these people, only two old men's works were considered to be excellent, while the rest were average.  After all, Long'an Mansion is located in the northwest of Sichuan, and the celebrities here are actually not very smart.  On the contrary, the calligraphy of the young master is indeed much better, second only to the two old men, but not far behind. He is indeed a young and handsome man who came from the capital.

    After walking around in a circle, Zhao Ran felt a little more confident, so he looked for Zhang Kong's case, spread out his paper and pen, and prepared to write a letter.  He had sharp ears and eyes, and without turning around, he already knew that there were several people surrounding him, including the young master just now.

    Zhao Ran is the type that attracts attention when it comes to calligraphy. The more bystanders he has, the better he performs. He gradually becomes excited about this matter. He drinks his fill on the inkstone and writes eight big characters - "Indifferent and Mingzhi."  Peace and tranquility."  He liked to write these eight characters in his previous life, and now he was in the presence of others, so he performed very well. After finishing writing, he was very satisfied with it.

    Qi Gong style felt a bit weird at first glance, but it was one of those fonts that became more memorable the more you looked at it. Therefore, there were no cheers from behind for the time being, and he didn't take it seriously.  You don't have any knowledge, so let's think about it first. The more you think about it, the more you like it. Zhao Ran knows this very well.

    There was a faint scent of fragrance in his nose. Zhao Ran turned around and saw all the people in the pavilion gathered behind him. Everyone had a strange expression on their faces and stared at the eight words he had just written.  Big letters.  Only that young master did not focus on his own words, but looked at a certain position in the crowd with burning enthusiasm.

    Zhao Ran followed his gaze and saw that among the crowd, at some point, there was an additional female crowned lady.
