Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The so-called female crown refers to a female Taoist priest, but with a Taoist crown on her head, she is a female Taoist priest with a degree of ultimatum, which is completely different from Zhao Ran, a non-staff member.

    In addition to setting up a strict three-level system of temples, palaces and courtyards, Taoist monasteries also set up Taoist nunneries in various states. The original intention of setting up Taoist nunneries was to satisfy the desire of female believers in the Ming Dynasty to become monks and practice Taoism. Later, when it developed, it often became  The "gold-plated" place for powerful women.  If you practice Taoism in a Taoist nunnery, your status will be much higher, and the threshold for people to marry will also be raised accordingly. This is due to the world's customs.

    There is no need to elaborate on the appearance of the lady in front of me. She has two big eyes on an oval face, a graceful figure, a slender body, and her height is about as high as Zhao Ran's eyebrows.  This kind of appearance was Zhao Ran's favorite in his life, and he couldn't help but look at her a few more times.  She was dressed plainly, but she could not conceal her aura of luxury, and her every move and smile showed a certain elegance. No family that had been wealthy for several generations would never have given birth to such a woman.

    He was looking at the female crown, and the female crown was also looking at him curiously.  Mr. Zhou pulled Zhao Ran out of the crowd, called the female crown to his side, and smiled softly: "Brother Zhao, this is my sister-in-law. I love Brother Zhao's words very much. I want to ask Brother Zhao for help."  I¡¯d like to thank you for your ink, but I hope you won¡¯t refuse.¡±

    Zhao Ran said "Ah" and said ashamedly: "How dare you." He felt a little proud again.

    Mr. Zhou took Zhao Ran to another empty case. Nv Guan took out a scroll from her sleeve and spread it out. It was an elegant landscape painting.  In the painting, there are mountain springs flowing nearby, white gulls on the sandbar, and mountains in the distance. A woman carrying a hoe on her back gradually disappears into the clouds and mist.

    The female crown bowed her head to Zhao Ran and said softly: "This is my new work, and I would like to invite guests from the mountains to inscribe it." After that, she personally polished the ink for Zhao Ran.

    Young Master Zhou put his hands behind his back and watched quietly. The other young masters naturally followed him step by step. The expression on their faces was obviously not very happy.

    Zhao Ran took a deep breath, changed to a small wolf-hair pen, thought for a moment, then picked up the pen and wrote in the blank space of the painting:

    Jian Jia is pale and pale, and the dew turns to frost. The so-called beauty is on the side of the water.

    Sixteen small characters are written in regular script, elegant and graceful, extremely spiritual, and with a beauty by his side, Zhao Ran can be said to have performed beyond his level.

    Mr. Zhou sincerely praised: "Good calligraphy!"

    However, Nu Guan's face was slightly red. She stared at it for a long time, rolled up the scroll and put it away: "Thank you to the mountain guest for the ink."

    Zhao Ran smiled: "Thank you for your love, as long as you like it."

    Nu Guan pursed her lips and said with a smile: "My father will be back soon, and the little girl doesn't dare to stay for a long time. I heard that the guest in the mountain is in Wuji Courtyard, and the little girl is practicing in Suxin Temple. They are all from the same lineage, and there may be many places in the future."  It¡¯s disturbing, I hope the mountain guests don¡¯t dislike it.¡±

    Zhao Ran felt happy and said: "Welcome! Miss's paintings are also excellent"

    The female crown seemed to be smiling but not smiling. She stared at Zhao Ran and asked, "Is it true? Could it be that you don't mean what you say?"

    Zhao Ran chuckled: "Don't worry, this statement comes from the bottom of my heart and is absolutely not false."

    The two of them couldn't help laughing and talking, but they made the young masters beside them so angry that their eyes were filled with fire.  The female crown did not dare to say anything more and turned to leave. The young masters stopped her and said hurriedly: "Sister Wenxiu, I came here specially this time to bring you a gift"

    Nu Guan's steps were nimble, and she directly dodged the blocks of the young masters, and said with a smile: "Brothers from the Zhu family are interested, but my little sister can't afford it. By the way, my little sister is already a monk, and her Taoist name is Yumo." The last sentence was unexpected.  He said it while looking at Zhao Ran.

    After Zhou Wenxiu, or Taoist Yu Mo of Su Xin'an, left, Zhao Ran suddenly felt dejected and had no interest in singing, painting or calligraphy with those celebrities anymore. He just drank tea slowly and waited for Yu Zhiyuan's return.

    Soon, Yu Zhiyuan and Zhou Fuzun returned together, and the scattered pavilion became lively again.  After Zhou Fuzun saw Zhao Ran's eight characters "Indifferent to clear ambition, tranquility and far-reaching", he praised Zhao Ran repeatedly, and Yu Zhiyuan also drew a picture of fish playing with lotus on the spot.

    Because the road was not close, Yu Zhiyuan and Zhao Ran did not have dinner at Beacon Villa, but went directly out of the village gate, got on the carriage and drove back.  Mr. Zhou ordered some snacks to be delivered to the carriage, and the two of them sat in the carriage to satisfy their hunger.

    Yu Zhiyuan took out a silver note, handed it to Zhao Ran, and said, "The Yaji writing materials given by the Zhou family are not much, but they are still thoughtful."

    Zhao Ran took it and saw that it was a twenty-tael banknote. He stuffed it into his arms without any politeness.  If it were Zhao Ran in the past, twenty taels of silver would be a lot of money to him, but now that Zhao Ran is wealthy, this small amount of money is naturally not considered objectionable.  But after all, this was the first money he earned from writing in his life, so he was very happy.

    Yu Zhiyuan added: "To be honest, Zhou Fuzun held the elegant gathering in order to organize the masterpieces of today's sages for collection, or even to give away to others" What he meant was that if Zhao RanThe words written today appeared elsewhere, and were even publicly priced in the market, which had nothing to do with Zhao Ran.

    Zhao Ran completely understood, and was slightly looking forward to it. I wonder what price his handwriting will be sold for in a few years?

    Back at Wujiyuan, Zhao Ran dragged his tired body and fell on the bed, covering his head and falling asleep.  Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai haven't returned to the mountain yet, and they may have to stay in Guyang County for the second day.  Tonight is a day off, so there is no need to clean the house. You can rest assured that you can have a good sleep and still have a good rest during the day tomorrow. Perhaps this is the only place where the pyrotechnics in the private house are better than the pyrotechnics in other houses.

    Zhao Ran slept until midnight and even missed breakfast.  He was so hungry that he had to go to the kitchen in the kitchen to find some food.  It was already past dinner time, and the back kitchen was deserted. There was only a restaurant fireman sitting at the door, choosing dishes.  Zhao Ran went up to strike up a conversation and asked if he could get some food to fill his stomach. The fireman glared and said, "When did you come here? Why not earlier?"

    Zhao Ran apologized and smiled: "I'm really sorry, I slept past dinner, so I was late."

    The fireman sneered disdainfully: "Then you go back to sleep and come back in the evening. Every room has its own rules. If there are no rules, where will the rules come from? Just endure it if you miss the meal, and you will have better memories in the future!"

    Zhao Ran was furious and wondered why this guy was so stubborn. After all, they were all colleagues in the dormitory. Why was he so unwilling to be accommodating at all?

    After thinking about it, Zhao Ran suppressed his anger, took out a few copper coins from his sleeves, compared the last time he went to the trough room to ask for a long rope and an iron hook, collected ten coins, stuffed it into the hand of the fireman, and said: "  Please be accommodating."

    The fireman's face softened slightly, he weighed the copper coins in his hands, turned around and went into the house. After a while, he came out with a meat-filled steamed bun and handed it to Zhao Ran.

    Ten cents was exchanged for a meat-filled steamed bun, which was ten times more expensive than in the market outside. Zhao Ran was suffocating in his heart, but he couldn't say anything. He only vented his anger on the steamed bun and finished it in a few bites.

    When it was time for dinner, Zhao Ran did not dare to be late and arrived at the dining hall on time.  This time Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai have also returned. They were both yawning at the dinner table. It was obvious that they had a great time in Guyang County.

    Brother Guan did not sit in the middle seat facing north this time. Instead, he moved one seat to the side. The seat he originally sat in was empty, and no one understood what he meant.  Zhao Ran entered the dining hall and saw Brother Guan standing up and waving to him. Zhao Ran smiled and said hello, but after passing by, Brother Guan pulled him to sit on an empty seat.

    ¡°At this moment, more than ten people in the entire clean room and private room were dumbfounded, staring blankly at the scene in front of them.  Guan Er rushed to the short and fat Huo Ju next to him and shouted: "Why are you standing there? Hurry up and pick up some food for Brother Zhao. Remember, from today on, Brother Zhao will eat first, and then me. Let's start eating."  Now, you are not allowed to use your chopsticks!"

    Zhao Ran smiled faintly and said to Guan Er: "Brother Guan, why is this? Between you and me, what is the first and second place? Come, eat together, eat together."

    He was polite, but he was very polite. After the short and fat Huo Ju put the food in his bowl, he greeted everyone: "Don't be stunned, let's eat."

    Taking a bite of rice with two pieces of braised pork, Zhao Ran ate quite comfortably. Although his identity had not changed and he was still a fire dweller in the subdivision, the change of position on the dinner table allowed him to regain some sense of time travel.  The feeling of power in front of me, this feeling, is quite refreshing!

    During the meal, Guan Er lay next to Zhao Ran's ear and quietly reminded him: Each of the water house and the fire house has a fire dweller who has expired for ten years and will go down the mountain to return home next month!
