It has been seven years since Zhao Ran came to this world unknowingly. Zhao Ran has met many people and experienced many things. Some of them have gradually completed their journey of life, which makes people sigh and sigh in retrospect.
Luo Duguan is about to finish his life, while Zhao Ran has just begun. He strives to drive these sad emotions to the deepest part of his heart and continue his mission.
Although he bought Liu Gaogong¡¯s three-thirds of an acre of land at four times the market price, Zhao Ran knew that he was definitely not being ripped off. On the contrary, he should accept this sentiment. Think about it from another perspective, if the owner of the field were Zhao Ran, and someone else had to spend one hundred taels of silver to open a road in his family's field, he would definitely not agree.
As a high-ranking master of Wuji Academy, Liu Zhiguang is definitely not short of money. There is almost no difference between one hundred taels of silver and one tael of silver to him. The reason why he chose this price to agree was that Zhao Ran secretly speculated that perhaps Liu Zhiguang just wanted to show the importance of these fields in his heart, so as to tell Zhao Ran how much of a favor he had sold Zhao Ran.
Liu Zhiguang's matter was discussed smoothly, but the Qu family didn't say anything.
"Didn't agree?" Zhao Ran thought for a moment and asked, "You don't have enough money? There is a rocky beach at the foot of the mountain. There is no use for his family to come here. Let's drive past his village and treat his family. There are a lot of benefits, why don¡¯t you agree?¡±
Jin Jiu frowned and said, "I don't know either, but his family didn't say the reason. They only said that they wanted to meet the temple minister. The fellow eunuch came in person and was waiting outside at the Jade Emperor Palace."
Zhao Ran immediately understood that it was not that the Qu family refused to agree, but that they came to negotiate terms, and it was definitely not a matter of money. Ancestors of the Qu family served as governors of a province and were also not short of money.
A fellow eunuch, Qu Zhongheng, is fifty-five years old this year. He was born in a juren family and served as a magistrate of a certain government in Yunnan. Since he was not a genuine Jinshi, his official career was over. He thought it was boring, so he resigned and returned to his hometown to enjoy his life. .
There are five or six rural eunuchs like Qu Zhongheng who returned to their hometowns after returning to their hometowns. There is nothing unusual about it. The reason why the Jinxian lieutenant did not dare to come forward to suppress the Qu family was because of Gan Shutong, the minister of household affairs.
Gan Shutong, who visited Yimao Branch in the first year of Jiajing, served successively as editor of the Hanlin Academy, Zuo Shuzi of Zuo Chunfang, knew Chuzhou and Yangzhou, moved to Zhejiang, Zuo Councilor, and Zuo Buzheng. In June of the 18th year of Jiajing, he became the Minister of Household Affairs.
The Qu family has always been extremely low-key. If it weren't for a local snake like Jin Xianwei, few people would know that Gan Shutong was Qu Zhongheng's cousin. Gan Shutong's parents died when he was young. He was raised by Qu Zhongheng when he was a child and taught poetry and calligraphy personally. He treated his cousin like a father.
After Jin Jiu finished talking about the situation of the Qu family in a few words, Zhao Ran knew not to be slow and hurried out to greet him.
Qu Zhongheng had just paid incense to the Jade Emperor statue. After bowing sincerely, he stood up and met Zhao Ran: "I have met the immortal master."
Zhao Ran said, "I am a poor man, but I am polite!" He led Qu Zhongheng into a pavilion in the backyard to serve tea.
After the greetings were finished, Qu Zhongheng said: "Since the establishment of the temple in Junshan, the Immortal Master has opened up wasteland to provide disaster relief, accommodated refugees, and helped orphans and widows. There are countless living people. Qu lives next to his neighbor. He often hears about it and admires it in his heart. In the past two years, I have been here several times, and the immortal master was always out, and I never had the chance to see the beauty, which is a pity. Finally, today I heard Taoist Master Jin mention that the immortal master is in Junshan now, so he came without telling me, hoping to see Haihan."
Zhao Ran said: "The fellow eunuch is so polite. Pindao has also heard that after the fellow eunuch resigned and went into seclusion, he has been benefiting his hometown. Being able to be neighbors with the fellow eunuch is also Pindao's blessing."
"How dare you, how dare you, Qu heard from Taoist Master Jin that the immortal master planned to build a road?"
"Exactly, Junshan is located in a remote place. If there is no road connecting the four directions, people will be trapped here, which will be detrimental to the livelihood of the people. I heard that the fellow official is very charitable and cares about the suffering of the people, so he is bold and wants to pass the road through your village. It can be used outside the country, and we hope that fellow officials will give us their full support."
Qu Zhongheng immediately expressed his position: "It is our duty to do so!"
Zhao Ran and Jin Jiu looked at each other, and Jin Jiu asked: "Fellow Huan, my family's temple blessings are here. If you have any difficulties, you might as well tell me about my family's temple blessings."
Qu Zhongheng said: "Now I have something to ask for. Qu gave birth to a son when he was over forty years old. Because of this, he pampered himself very much and neglected to discipline him. Now he is fifteen years old but he is still naughty. He has invited several famous teachers. Although he was the child, he was angry with him. Every time Qu thought about it, he would sigh and worry all day and night. If he left this child alone, he didn't know what would happen in the future, so he boldly wanted this child to worship him in Junshan Temple. , I don¡¯t ask for anything else, I hope that this child will observe etiquette and know the rules in the future, so that he will not ruin my Qu family¡¯s ancestral legacy."
"Why don't you, my fellow countrymen, let you enter Wujiyuan? Or simply take some other route to Xizhenwu Palace. Isn't the prospect more promising than in my little Junshan?"
Qu Zhongheng sighed:??Originally, the child was sent to Xizhenwu Palace, but not even a month after leaving, he unexpectedly came back alone. Now that the immortal master is here and Junshan Temple is nearby, Qu Mou thought, if he doesn't worship the immortals nearby, why should he look elsewhere. "
Zhao Ran understood that Junshan Temple was not far from home. Even if he ran away again, there would not be any big danger. Furthermore, the "Immortal Master" sign above my head must be louder than the vulgar words in the Shifang Jungle.
So he nodded: "If the fellow eunuchs have this intention, it's okay for me to do so. It's just that Wujiyuan has very few positions for Junshan Temple. If you want to have a future in Junshan Temple, you can't do it at the moment."
"As long as the Immortal Master agrees, everything is easy to talk about. Just let the child work in the temple first. I don't expect him to be able to do anything. As long as he can learn something well, I can inherit the family business in a hundred years." If this child does anything inappropriate, he can be beaten or scolded, and everything will be under the control of the immortal master."
"Zhao Ranxin said, what kind of naughty child did you have in your family? It doesn't matter that you have been tortured into such a state. Since you want something, I will take care of it for you without any trouble." I agreed immediately.
Once this matter is settled, the problem of opening a road under the forest of Qujia Mountain will naturally be solved.
One day later, the Qu family¡¯s housekeeper drove the person over in a carriage.
This young master¡¯s name is Qu Fenghe, and he just turned fifteen last month. If he were placed in a poor family, such as in the Junshan area, he would basically be considered the majority of the family¡¯s strong labor force. However, because he was well-dressed and pampered at home since he was a child, Qu Fenghe still looks like a young man and behaves like a young master.
After getting out of the car, the young man squinted his eyes and looked left and right, with his hands behind his back, his chin raised high, and he rolled his eyes and looked only at the sky and not at the ground. Zhao Ran felt happy, okay, the whole Yilong Aotian.
The housekeeper of the Qu Mansion kept reminding him: "Dalang, this is Immortal Zhao from Junshan Temple. Please pay your respects to the Immortal Master quickly."
Seeing that Qu Fenghe was not paying attention at all, the housekeeper was helpless and smiled at Zhao Ran: "Excuse me, Master Xian, but my eldest son accepts his birth."
Zhao Ran smiled and said to the housekeeper: "It doesn't matter. Thank you for your hard work, housekeeper."
The housekeeper complained twice more and asked the servants to unload the young man's household utensils from the car, but Zhao Ran stopped him: "I have everything in the temple. Please send the housekeeper the same things as they are." go back."
When Qu Fenghe heard this, his eyes almost popped out of his head, and he shouted: "Why? These all belong to me!"
Zhao Ran waved to Guan Er and Lu Jin: "Come on, take off his clothes and put on the temple work robe."
