The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 53: It will come sooner or later

Views:

Now that Bao Qingtian has appeared, it is not surprising that Gongsun Ce has appeared. After Yun Yanhui confirmed that this was not the real Northern Song Dynasty, he understood that sooner or later, he would meet other characters in the story.

It's just that Yun Yanhui is not familiar with the plot, and even the plots of various versions of film and television dramas and novels are mixed, so he does not know that Gongsun Ce will come to Daxiangguo Temple to apply for a job.

The senior brother was sprayed with water by Yunyan, and Shang was forced to say: "Junior brother, have you heard of this person? Do you have any opinion on him?"

"Cough cough, I'm sorry, senior brother, I have no opinion at all, I just had an itchy throat." Of course Yun Yanhui couldn't say that he had heard of it. He didn't even know what this Gongsun Ce looked like, so he hurriedly took his sleeves to senior brother. Wipe your face.

Senior brother ducked and wiped his face, "Don't, your movement like wiping a table scratches my face again. I'm unlucky."

Yun Yan smiled back, and after a while, the little novice called the people waiting for the interview outside to come in, the first one was Gongsun Ce.

Yun Yan looked back and found that Gongsun Ce was in his mid-thirties, with a thin body, gentle appearance, gentle and elegant, wearing a narrow shirt, and his clothes were very old, which showed that he was a little downcast.

Gongsun Ce bowed to the four examiners, and was a little surprised to see the senior brother who had talked to him outside, but he quickly regained his composure and reported to his family.

Because that senior brother and Yun Yanhui had already communicated that Gongsun Ce could be hired, the others just casually learned about Gongsun Ce's experience.

Gongsun Ce failed the exam for a long time, and he was already hit hard. The cost of room and board in the capital was still expensive, and he couldn't afford to spend his money, so he had to put aside the Wenshu exam and work here as a temporary worker to earn some money. He is full of knowledge and proficient in medicine, and he is not a problem to settle accounts. It is naturally more than enough to come here to work.

Yun Yan replied without saying a word, listening to others talking to him the whole time, and just looked at it silently.

When Gongsun Ce answered the question, he also observed the four people in the room. Two of them asked him, the other talked outside, and the remaining young man didn't say a word. Without shaving his head, Gongsun Ce almost thought it was a spectator.

Until the end, the other examiners looked at the boy and asked, "Brother Yan, then we will hire this Mr. Gongsun?"

The boy who was called Brother Yan nodded, still didn't say a word, but with his approval, the others recorded it on the roster. Gongsun Ce immediately understood that this young man had the power to decide.

After getting the job, Gongsun Ce was a little surprised that the young man led him out in person, and he said a word on the way, briefly introducing himself as Yun Yanhui, a vulgar disciple.

The job is to eat and live. It stands to reason that the young man should take him to the place of accommodation, but the other party took him all the way to the main hall. This is the place where the abbot lives, also known as the abbot. That's why everyone also uses the abbot as the abbot.

Gongsun Ce looked at him suspiciously, "Yun Xiaolang, why did we come to the main hall?"

"I originally arranged for you to live in the monk's room, but the monk's room is too crowded, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to adapt, but the hall is quiet and there are vacant rooms for guests." Yun Yanhui smiled slightly, "Mr. Oh, the master is the abbot of this room, Master Mingran."

Yun Yan recalled for a long time, Gongsun Ce came to the Daxiangguo Temple, isn't it destined that they have to help push and let him and Bao Zheng, the golden partner, have a round

So, thinking that Bao Zheng respects and understands, and understands that he has the attributes of a magician, he simply brought Gongsun Ce to understand and hinted it in his words.

Sure enough, when Gongsun Ce heard the last sentence, he thought there was something inside,

He had heard from the people that the new abbot of the Daxiangguo Temple, Master Luran, was proficient in Dou Chan, and many deeds were passed down into stories. Moreover, there are rumors that the abbot, whose family name is Zhuge, is actually a descendant of Zhuge Kongming, who is proficient in medical divination.

Gongsun Ce certainly thought a lot about such an expert being tolerant towards him, so he did not refuse.

Yun Yan took him back to the room where Bao Zheng lived, and said to him, "Mr. Gongsun, there are some half-new clothes in the closet, which were left by the previous guest. If you don't mind, just wear them. Bar."

Gongsun Ce came here without even a burden, only this old set of clothes was left. He is also a magnanimous person. He was not embarrassed to hear Yun Yanhui say this. Instead, he thanked him calmly.

These clothes actually belonged to Bao Zheng. He lived in the Daxiangguo Temple for three months, and was suddenly called away by Wang Qian. He didn't take any clothes with him. Later, he was sent to the Shao Yin of Kaifeng Prefecture. After leaving, I left some old clothes, and at this time I happened to take care of Gongsun Ce.

Because Gongsun Ce didn't have any luggage to put in, Yun Yanhui took him directly to find Langran, and when he got outside the Zen room, he went first.

Knowing that he was still thinking about his standard strategy, he had been playing chess with Bao Zheng for the past few months to teach the scriptures, but he didn't do anything serious. When he saw Yunyan coming back in, he put down his pen, "What's wrong?"

"Master, aren't you looking for jobs recently? We recruited a very knowledgeable gentleman. I saw that he was different from common customs, so I asked him to live in the meditation room here." Yun Yan replied.

"Well, why is it different from the vulgarity?" Jianran was quite curious, you must know that Brother Yan has never described people like this.

Yun Yan replied, "You can see if you look at it."

He went outside and brought Gongsun Ce in, and introduced to the two parties: "This is my master who has gone to Chan Master Xiaran." Since he has officially apprenticed to his teacher, he has been shy about his words. It's Gongsun Ce, Mr. Gongsun."

Knowing that they would meet each other, they looked at Gongsun Ce up and down, and then he smiled and said, "It really is different from the vulgarity."

When Gongsun Ce heard this, he misunderstood him. He really thought that Yun Yan had been ordered to treat him favorably before he returned. He was in a down state and was valued by others. Fallen scholar."

He asked Gongsun Ce to sit down, had a chat with him, and confirmed what Yun Yan had said.

Gongsun Cezheng was grateful, and when he accidentally saw the words written on the paper, he pointed it out: "Please forgive the students, is the abbot planning to rectify the atmosphere of the temple?"

Knowing nodded, he said, "Before the Song Dynasty, Buddhism went through several legal difficulties, and after the founding of the country, there were many restrictions on Buddhism. Today, the monks in my temple are even more mindful of business, wine and wealth, I intend to Rectification, but also afraid of overcorrection, backfire, is suffering from the scale."

After he said it clearly, he glanced at Yun Yan back, "Oh, this disciple of mine is arresting the management of the temple. If I ask him to make an idea, he must be able to do it, but he offends other monks."

Yun Yan listened back to the side, raised her hand and arched it, "Thank you, Master, for letting me go."

Gongsun Ce heard this and volunteered to say: "Since the student is now serving in the temple, he is willing to share the worries of the abbot."

Clearly moved, he gave Gongsun Ce the terms he drafted and asked him to see how accurate the scales were.

Gongsun Ce looked at it once, and then without hesitation, he picked up a pen to make corrections, and then presented it to Clear.

After reading it clearly, he returned to Yunyan. Yun Yan took it back and looked at it, then nodded again and again, "It's justifiable and convincing."

The secularization and management of monasteries is the trend of the Song Dynasty society, which cannot be changed. Once money is gained, many things are easily deteriorated. Therefore, in order to improve the atmosphere of the temple, of course, we should start from the root.

To establish a monk's credit system, all monks who have had bad behaviors and caused bad influences should stop their private business behaviors to see the aftermath.

It stands to reason that the monastery's business is the collective income of the monastery. The monks cannot own private property, which means they cannot do business without permission. It can be said that the monks who do business now have actually violated the precepts and regulations. If the monastery wants to arrest them, it will definitely stand.

Gongsun Ce also grasped this degree very accurately, not too harsh, and it will not make people feel painless. If you want to continue to make money, you must keep your own moral character. As for those who want to be a bad monk without even making money, let alone.

Gongsun Ce was a literati. After sorting out the clear words, he expressed the meaning very incisively and accurately.

Yun Yan nodded again and again, thinking that the system is clear and he will not be difficult to do in the future, but the temple gives everyone a chance, so he touched the pen and added another sentence at the back: The final interpretation of the regulations belongs to the abbot.

Gongsun Ce and Lingran probed to see this clearly, and both pointed to Yun Yan and laughed, and the atmosphere between the three suddenly became closer.

Yun Yanhui invited Gongsun Ce to have dinner here again. He was planning to cook a fasting meal for Lingran today, but Gongsun Ce agreed. Since he came from his original residence today, and the dust was on his body, he went to wash and change his clothes first.

When Gongsun Ce returned to the room to tidy up, Yun Yanhui discussed Gongsun Ce's performance with Lingran.

He appreciates Gongsun Ce very much. After all, Gongsun Ce helped him solve his own problems in minutes, and he also revealed that he had poetry and books in his speech.

There is no way to do this. In ancient times, many talented people were underappreciated, not because they did not read well enough, but because they had different tastes and ideas from the examiners and even officials. After all, the national scientific examination is to select officials. Right and wrong, can only say that the time is not right.

"Yeah, I'm still out to work. After two months of work, I don't know what to do with Mr. Yun." Yun Yan replied.

After thinking about it clearly, he said: "Brother Yan, I think, after the food festival is over, I will repair a book and recommend it to Kaifeng Mansion."

"I'll see." Isn't this the purpose of Yun Yan's return. He had just finished answering, and Gongsun Ce, who was unaware, had already arrived.

Gongsun Ce changed the clothes that Bao Zheng left in the closet, but Bao Zheng was taller than him, so the clothes swayed in the wind when he put them on. He pinched his sleeves and said bluntly, "I'm sorry."

"I was careless," Yun Yan couldn't help laughing, and stood up, "I didn't take into account that the clothes didn't fit, so I'll change it for Mr.

He took the needle and thread, and he didn't need Gongsun Ce to take it off. He just sewed a few pleats on his body, and the clothes fit instantly, and the pleats didn't look like they were changed in size, but rather like a deliberate design. .

Gongsun Ce looked at it and said with admiration, "I didn't expect Brother Yan to have such a skillful hand."

"Ahem, don't tell anyone." Yun Yanhui was rather embarrassed.

Knowing it clearly, he also smiled and said, "He is a virtuous housekeeper who has been trained to do housework for the family. If you say it out, let people know that it will make him lose his prestige."

Gongsun Ce guessed from the words that Yun Yan had had a difficult time before returning home, so he felt that this child was really good, and nodded again and again, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else."

Gongsun Ce was given preferential treatment in Xiangguo Temple first, secondly, Yunyan supported him, and thirdly, he was very capable, so he was respected by the monks, and the work went very smoothly.

Time is flying by, and autumn has come in a blink of an eye, and the new Daxiangguo Temple International Food Festival has opened again.

The number of people who come to the food festival is increasing year by year. Gongsun Ce and Yun Yanhui stood at a high place together and said, "I have been here twice before, but at that time I was depressed because of the poor results in the scientific examination, so what did I see? It's also hard to see. After being busy for the past two months, my mind has opened up a lot, and it's quite different when I look at it this way."

"Originally, it's very different. Our scale is getting bigger every year. I'm still wondering if we should join forces with other monasteries and open a branch venue on their site." Yun Yanhui is quite proud, after all, this is He did it by himself.

Gongsun Ce smiled and nodded, and the two went down together, ready to go for a walk inside.

At this time, there was a little boy who ran over with anxiety on his face, and when he saw them, he shouted, "Senior Brother Yan, Mr. Gongsun, it's not good!"

Seeing this situation, Yun Yan felt a little stunned in her heart.

After several years of rectification, and the fact that Kaifeng Mansion and Xiangguo Temple are so good recently, there is basically no major event that will cause trouble, but if it can be troubled, it means that it may not be very good.

Yun Yan pulled back Tong Xing, "What, speak slowly."

Tong Xing went with the flow and said, "It's Senior Brother Zhisheng who has an accident. He broke the man's head and is still unconscious! Now the abbot is there, the abbot said please come over."

Yun Yanhui felt her scalp tingling, "Can the identity of that person be found out?"

Tong Xing said in a low voice: "I checked it out, it seems to be the youngest son of the Minister of Industry..."

Gongsun Ce snorted, "It's not good, the Ministry of Industry has always been watching Xiangguo Temple closely, and I wish I could ask Xiangguo Temple to pay for them to repair the entire Kaifeng Mansion and build a new palace."

Yun Yanhui covered her forehead, "How come you are an old friend of the people again!"

Zhou Huilin, who was taught by him a few years ago, his father, Zhou Shilang, had a successful career, and he had been promoted to Shangshu the year before. So, isn't it Zhou Huilin, the youngest son of the Ministry of Industry Minister mentioned by Xiaotongxing

Gongsun Ce: "Brother Yan, do you know this person?"

"I had a deal a few years ago, and I was also a scumbag in the yamen." Yun Yan was full of sorrow, "Let's go, let's go and see the situation first."
