The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty Chapter 53: It will come sooner or later

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

It's just that Yun Yanhui is not familiar with the plot of the story, and even the plots of various versions of film and television dramas and novels are mixed, so I don't 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 stunned and said, "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 was busy taking it. Wipe your brother's face with his sleeves.

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.

Yunyan looked back, this 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, so 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 the Wenshu exam on hold 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 other people talking to him the whole time, just looking at it silently.

When Gongsun Ce answered the question, he also observed the four people in the room. Two people asked him, the other talked outside, and the remaining young man didn't say a word. He was young, and he hadn't shaved his head yet. Gongsun Ce almost thought that he was just here to watch the fun.

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

The boy known as Brother Yan nodded and 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 lay disciple.

This job includes food and lodging. It stands to reason that the teenager 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, which is why everyone also uses the abbot. On behalf of the abbot.

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

"It was originally arranged for you to live in the monk's room, but there are many people in the monk's room, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to adapt to it, but the hall is quiet and there are vacant rooms for guests." Yun Yanhui smiled slightly, "Mr. Come on, oh, the teacher is the abbot of this room, and the Zen master understands."

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

So, thinking that Bao Zheng respects Kuolan very much, and understands that he also has the attributes of a magician, he simply brought Gongsun Ce here 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 Knowing, was proficient in Dou Chan, and there were many stories passed down. 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.

Such a master treats him with tolerance, of course Gongsun Ce thought about it a lot, so he did not refuse.

Yunyan 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 it."

Gongsun Ce has clean sleeves, and he didn't even have a burden to come here, only this set of old clothes was left. He is also a magnanimous person. He was not embarrassed to hear Yun Yanhui say this. Instead, he thanked him calmly, "Then thank you little brother, and thank you for taking office as a guest in the house."

These clothes actually belonged to Bao Zheng. He lived in Daxiangguo Temple for three months, and was suddenly called away by Wang Qian. He didn't take any clothes with him. I didn't take all of them, but kept 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 look for Luran, and when he got outside the Zen room, he went first.

King is still thinking about his standard strategy. He had been playing chess with Bao Zheng for a few months and teaching the classics, 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?" Jian Ran was quite curious, you must know that Brother Yan has never described people in this way.

Yunyan replied: "You can see if you look at it."

He brought Gongsun Ce into the outside world and introduced to both parties: "This is my master who has gone to Zen Master Xiaran." Since he has officially apprenticed to the master, he has been shy in his words, in order to show respect. , "This is Gongsun Ce, Mr. Gongsun."

Knowing that they will meet each other, and looking at Gongsun Ce up and down, he smiled and said: "It's really different."

As soon as Gongsun Ce heard this, he misunderstood him. He really thought that Yun Yan had been ordered to treat him favorably before he returned. The strategy is no better than a scholar.”

I asked Gongsun Ce to sit down, chatted with him, and confirmed what Yun Yanhui said.

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

Clearly nodded and said, "Before the Song Dynasty, Buddhism experienced 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 concerned about running business, drinking and wealthy. , I intend to rectify, but I am afraid that overcorrection will be counterproductive, and I am suffering from the scale.”

Speaking clearly, he also glanced at Yun Yanhui, "Alas, 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 so, but he offends other monks. ."

Yun Yanhui listened, raised her hand and arched, "Thank you, Master, for letting me go."

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

Understood, 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, she 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 and 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.

Establish a reputation system for monks. Any monks who have had bad behaviors and caused bad influences should stop their private business behaviors in order to observe 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 are actually violating the precepts and regulations. If the monastery wants to arrest it, it will definitely stand. foot.

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 is a literati. After sorting out the clear words, he expresses the meaning very incisively and accurately.

Yunyan nodded again and again, thinking that the system is clear, 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 eat here again. He was planning to cook a vegetarian meal for Lingran today. Gongsun Ce agreed. A dress.

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

I appreciate 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, "It's a pity that Gongsun Ce is so talented, but he has tried many times to no avail. No."

There is no way to do this. In ancient times, many talents were underappreciated, not because they did not read well enough, but probably because they had different tastes and ideas from the examiners and even officials. After all, the national scientific examination is to select officials. , there is no right or wrong, it can only be said that the birth is not at the right time.

"Yeah, I still wandered to work. After two months of work, I don't know what to do with my husband." Yun Yan replied.

Thinking about it, he said, "Brother Yan, I think, after the food festival is over, I will fix a book and recommend it to Kaifeng Mansion."

"I'll see." Isn't that exactly what Yun Yan wanted to return. He had just finished answering, but Gongsun Ce, who was unaware, had already arrived.

Gongsun Ce changed the clothes left by Bao Zheng 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 back and stood up, "I didn't consider the clothes to 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, so he 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 like 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.

Understandably, 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 Yunyan might have had a hard time returning home, so he felt that the child was really good, and nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else."

……

Gongsun Ce was given preferential treatment at Xiangguo Temple first, secondly, Yunyan supported him, and thirdly, because of his ability, he was respected by the monks, and his work went very smoothly.

Time is flying like an arrow, 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 I was depressed because of my poor results in the scientific examination. It's hard to see anything. I've been busy for the past two months, but my mind has broadened a lot. It's quite different when I look at it this way."

"It's also very different. Our scale is getting bigger every year. I'm still thinking about whether we should join forces with other monasteries and open a branch venue on their site." Yun Yanhui was quite proud. After all, he did it all by himself.

Gongsun Ce smiled and nodded, and the two of them went down together, ready to go shopping inside.

At this time, a little boy came running, his face full of anxiety, 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 a few years of rectification, and the fact that Kaifeng Mansion and Xiangguo Temple are so good recently, there is basically no major incident that will cause trouble, but if it can, it means that it may not be very good.

Yunyan pulled back Tong Xing, "What, you say it slowly."

Tong Xing was in a good mood and said, "It was Senior Brother Zhisheng who had an accident. He broke the man's head, and he is still unconscious! Now the abbot is there, the abbot asked you to come over."

Yun Yan Hui felt her scalp numb, "Can that person's identity be found out?"

Tong Xing whispered: "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 the Xiangguo Temple closely, and I wish I could ask the 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 the minister the year before. In this way, isn't the youngest son of the Ministry of Industry Minister mentioned by Xiaotong Xing not Zhou Huilin?

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

"I had a relationship a few years ago, and I was also a scumbag in the yamen." Yun Yan returned to her sadness, "Let's go, let's go and see the situation first."
