    The next day, after Zhao Ran finished his work in the kitchen, he couldn't hold himself back and rushed to Song Xunzhao's dormitory in the backyard.

    Song Zhiyuan was not in the yard, so he suppressed his eagerness and waited patiently.  About half an hour later, Song Xunzhao and Deacon Dong from the room number returned hand in hand. The two of them were chatting and laughing as they arrived side by side.

    "If we want to say who is the richest among the eight deacons, then the one at the top must be Deacon Dong.  The Haofang is in charge of the institute's properties such as farms, tea mountains, gardens and shops. More than 50% of Wujiyuan's financial budget comes from the contribution of the Haofang. Although they are all real institute properties and are attributed to the Taoist temple, Deacon Dong  No less than ten thousand dollars of money pass through the hands every year, and just a little bit of oil and water dripping from between the fingers is enough to attract attention.

    Zhao Ran rarely saw Deacon Dong. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that he only happened to meet him once on the day he went up the mountain with Chu Yangcheng. After that, he came here several times to find Song Zhiyuan. The main hall of the east side room always had a tight door.  close.  It is said that the Taoist priest spends most of his time outside the mountains and rarely comes back a few times a year, but he didn't want to bump into him today.

    More than seven months later, Director Dong naturally could no longer recognize that the bright and energetic Zhao Ran in front of him was the ragged farmer's boy who had left Chu Yangcheng that day. He took a casual look and smiled as he entered the main hall of the cell.  Inside, it seemed as if he had said hello to Zhao Ran, but after thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have ignored Zhao Ran at all.

    Song Zhiyuan invited Zhao Ran to follow him into the main hall of the dormitory, closed the door, and asked, "What are you doing here today?"

    Zhao Ran licked his lips and wanted to speak, but for a moment he didn't know where to start.  Song Zhiyuan smiled and said in a low voice: "About the Taoist boy who received the ultimatum?"

    Zhao Ran nodded quickly and looked at Song Zhiyuan.

    Song Zhiyuan sat on the chair himself, then stretched out his hand to signal Zhao Ran to sit down as well, and said straight to the point: "You are very well-informed. You came here early to wait. To be honest, just now the prison hospital summoned the 'Sandu' and the 'Eight Deacons'  ', this is what we are discussing. No, Senior Brother Dong has been summoned back from the farm outside the mountain"

    Zhao Ran couldn't help but lean forward and listened very seriously.

    Just listen to Song Zhiyuan continue: "This year, as usual, each deacon room will recommend one person, and then the Supervisory Academy and the 'Sandu' will take a face-to-face exam to select one person. Well, there should actually be two places, but one of them is from the West  It is said that the candidate appointed by Zhenwu Palace has acceptable qualifications and skills. From now on, he will go to the palace, but he will be introduced through Wujiyuan."

    Song Zhiyuan picked up the teacup on the table, but the tea in the teacup reached the bottom. Zhao Ran quickly stood up, took the teapot from the table, shook it, and felt that the water in the pot was full, so he put it in the corner of the room.  Heat the red clay on a small stove.  A few moments.  There was a loud noise in the pot, so Zhao Ran took it off and added it to Song Zhiyuan.

    Song Zhiyuan watched with satisfaction as Zhao Ran finished serving everything, and gestured to him to pour a cup for himself, and then sighed: "You don't need to come, I plan to recommend you. But there is something different today. The prison hospital hinted to me, the point is  Pay attention to Jin Jiu and Zhang Ze I have asked you before to get in touch with the Great Refiner as soon as possible, how about it? It has come true today. If you can get on the line with the Great Refiner, where will you be like today?  Once it comes out, it¡¯s really embarrassing for people.¡±

    He sighed, and Zhao Ran sighed more than him. If he could hook up with Chu Yangcheng, he, Zhao Ran, was not a fool, so why wouldn't he hook up with him?  The problem is that even though Chu Yangcheng sent him to Wujiyuan, Chu Yangcheng didn't take him seriously at all. There was no way to contact him, and Zhao Ran could only call in vain.  Nothing can be done.

    "Jin Jiu is the son of Guyang Jinxian Lieutenant, and Zhang Ze is the nephew of the minister of the Ministry of Punishment of the DPRK. His family background is a hundred times deeper than yours. It is common sense for the Prison Court to ask me to recommend him as one of the two. But from my perspective, the Prison Court  I prefer Zhang ZeAmong all the fire workers in the courtyard, only Zhang Ze can compare with Feng Can" Song Zhiyuan pursed his lips to the other side of the east room and said: "The director and deacon of the room number just mentioned it to me.  , they have reached a conclusion in the deacon¡¯s room, and it¡¯s not Feng Can who wouldn¡¯t recommend it, but you may not know yet, Feng Can is the nephew of Feng Hong, the chief envoy of the province, the left counselor.¡±

    Hearing this, Zhao Ran already understood what Song Zhiyuan meant. In this year's election, the most recognized people in the academy are Feng Can and Zhang Ze. The rest will only be on the list even if they are elected, and there is no hope.

    Sure enough, Song Zhiyuan immediately began to advise Zhao Ran, saying that the competition for quotas this year was fierce. Instead of fighting desperately for the opportunity to be recommended, and in the end just walking among the candidates, wasting time, it is better to wait patiently for the next one.  .  He said that Wujiyuan would have such an opportunity every two to three years. If it doesn¡¯t work this year, then the year after next. Well, actually, the year after tomorrow is not enough, so let¡¯s do it in another two years. Zhao Ran is still young anyway.  , it has been less than a year since I entered Wujiyuan, so I have plenty of time to wait.

    Zhao Ran remembered that he was still full of confidence last night, and assured Yu Zhiyuan that he would find a way to become a candidate for dormitory recommendation. Unexpectedly, not only did he compare withAfter Zhang Ze, even Jin Jiu's chance of winning was far better than his own, and he was really discouraged when he thought about it.

    Zhao Ran held back his disappointment and expressed his gratitude to Song Zhiyuan, without directly asking for permission - the other party had already made it very clear, and if you continue to beg for nothing and ask the other party to recommend him, that would be to create obstacles for the other party, which is not what you should do as a human being.  of.

    However, Song Zhiyuan also comforted Zhao Ran, saying that he would definitely try his best to find a way and recommend Zhao Ran as much as possible as long as he had the opportunity.  Another way to understand this sentence is that if there is no chance, please forgive Zhao Ran.

    Zhao Ran returned to his room gloomily, covered his head and thought about it for a long time. He stayed there until dinner, then listlessly went to the kitchen to help.

    In the evening, word gradually spread that Wujiyuan was going to recommend candidates from among the HuoGong laymen to receive formal ultimatums. The HuoGong laymen in each room were all discussing in front of and behind each other, counting with their fingers who was the most promising.  hope.

    The fireworkers in the second room were no exception. They gathered in the small courtyard and enthusiastically came up with an unofficial ranking list. Naturally, the top one was Zhang Ze, followed closely by Jin Jiu. As for Zhao Ran, there was no one at all.  My son didn¡¯t make the list.

    Zhao Ran has always had a bad relationship with the fireworkers in the second room. Ever since Gou Er was kicked out after the incident, although everyone no longer stumbling upon Zhao Ran, they have never regarded him as a friend.  Zhao Ran monopolized Wujiyuan's ingredients business through shopkeeper Jin, which caused public outrage. Although he later told shopkeeper Jin to give money to whomever should be given money, and did not withhold the extra money of the chefs who were on duty, but there was still a lot of people-to-people relations.  The relationship does not mean that it can be eased, everything still takes time.

    Zhao Ran¡¯s name was not included in the private rankings. Zhao Ran didn¡¯t care because the rankings were ineffective. However, everyone¡¯s guesses were consistent with the details Song Zhiyuan handed over today, which made him frown when he thought about it.

    Zhao Ran hid in the room and eavesdropped on what people were talking about. Others outside the room didn't seem to want to avoid his thoughts. They talked loudly and occasionally mentioned him with a mocking tone.

    Jin Jiu came over from the water room to look for Zhang Ze, and happened to see everyone talking loudly in the courtyard. The two of them were surrounded by people and complimented them, and they seemed very satisfied.  However, Jin Jiu also knew himself. He told Zhang Ze in public that he planned to go see Song Xunzhao this time. He made it clear that he did not intend to compete with Zhang Ze, and asked Zhang Ze to focus on the next round of school examinations and strive for victory.  Feng Can, who passed the numbered room, won this good fortune for the dormitory.

    Jin Jiu¡¯s extremely humble statement immediately won the favor of all the fire masters, and Zhang Ze was also very happy about it.  Zhang Ze's first intention was to thank Jin Jiu for his concession, and then he said that if he could accept the ultimatum and officially join the list of Taoist boys, he would definitely thank Jin Jiu greatly, and at least make every effort to be the ultimatum Taoist boy next time the Wuji Academy recommends him.  , allowing Jin Jiu to ascend smoothly.

    In addition to Jin Jiu, the fire workers also drafted candidates for the next election - of course it has nothing to do with Zhao Ran, and Zhao Ran in the room was both angry and funny.

    While he was angry, Zhao Ran's fierceness also emerged - don't you think I have no hope?  I just want to show it to you, so that all you grandsons can step aside and cool off!  Even if I lose in the end, I can never admit defeat so happily. I have to give you some trouble!

    Thanks to brother bobo for the reward!
