The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Now that Bao Qingtian has appeared, it is not surprising that Gongsun Ce appeared. After Yun Yanhui confirmed that this is not the real Northern Song Dynasty, she knew that sooner or later she 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 he doesn't know that Gongsun Ce will come to Daxiangguo Temple to apply for a job.

The senior brother was sprayed with water by Yun Yan back, and Shang said in a daze: "Junior brother, have you heard of this person? Do you have any opinions on him?"

"Ahem, I'm sorry, senior brother. I have no opinion at all. I just had a itchy throat just now." Yun Yan replied, of course he couldn't say that he had heard of it. He didn't even know what this Gongsun Ce looked like, so he hurriedly handed over his sleeve to the senior brother. Wipe your face.

The senior brother hid and wiped his face himself, "Don't, your movement like wiping the table scratched my face again. I'm unlucky."

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

Yun Yan looked back and found that this Gongsun Ce was about thirty years old, with a thin body, a gentle appearance, gentle and elegant, wearing a narrow shirt, the clothes were very old, which showed that he was a bit downcast.

Gongsun Ce saluted the four examiners. He was a little surprised to see the seniors who had talked with him outside before, but he quickly regained his composure and announced his family name.

Because the senior brother and Yun Yanhui had already communicated that Gongsun Ce could be hired, so 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 board and lodging in the capital was still expensive, and he couldn't afford the expenses, so he had to put aside his studies and exams, and came here to work as a temporary worker to earn some money.He is full of economics and is proficient in medical skills, so it is easy to settle accounts, so it is more than enough for him to come here to work.

Yunyan didn't say a word back, and listened to others talking to him the whole time, only silently looking at him.

When Gongsun Ce was answering the question, he also observed the four people in the room. Two of them asked him a question, and the other chatted with him outside. Without shaving his head, Gongsun Ce almost thought it was just a show.

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

The boy known as Brother Yan nodded, but still didn't say a word, but with his approval, other people recorded it in the roster.Gongsun Ce immediately understood that this young man has the power to make decisions.

After getting the job, to Gongsun Ce's surprise, the young man led him out, said a word on the way, and briefly introduced himself as Yun Yanhui, a disciple of the vulgar sect.

This job includes food and lodging. It stands to reason that the young man should take him to the place to stay, but the other party took him all the way to the main hall. This is the place where the abbot lives, and it is also called the abbot, so everyone also uses the abbot to refer to him as 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 too many people in the monk's room, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to adapt, but the main hall is quiet and there are vacant rooms for guests." Yun Yanhui smiled slightly, "Mr. Oh, the master is the abbot here, Zen Master Mingran."

Yun Yan thought about it for a long time, Gongsun Ce came to Daxiangguo Temple, isn't it destined that they should help push him and Bao Zheng, the golden pair, to have a round?

Therefore, thinking that Bao Zheng respected him very much, and that he still has the attribute of a magic stick, he simply got Gongsun Ce to come here, and hinted in his words.

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

He had heard among the people that the new abbot of Daxiangguo Temple, Zen Master Yaoran, was proficient in fighting Zen, and many deeds have been passed down into stories.Moreover, there are rumors that the abbot, whose surname is Zhuge Mingsui, is actually a descendant of Zhuge Kongming, who is proficient in medicine and divination.

Such an expert treated him tolerantly. Of course, Gongsun Ce thought a lot, so he didn't refuse.

Yunyan went back and took him 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 last guest. If you don't mind, you can wear them." Bar."

Gongsun Ce has nothing to worry about, and he doesn't even have a burden to come here, except for this set of old clothes.He is also an open-minded person, and he didn't feel embarrassed when he heard Yun Yanhui say that. Instead, he thanked him frankly, "Then thank you, brother, and thank you to the previous guest."

These clothes actually belonged to Bao Zheng. He lived in Daxiangguo Temple for three months, but he was suddenly called away by Wang Jian, but he didn't take any of his clothes. Later, he went straight to Kaifeng Mansion Shao Yin, and when Bao Xing came back to pack his clothes, he didn't take all of them with him. Let's go, leave some old clothes, and just take care of Gongsun Ce at this time.

Because Gongsun Ce didn't have any luggage to put away, Yun Yan went back and took him directly to find Zhaoran, and when he got outside the meditation room, he went in first.

Liao Ran was still thinking hard about his standard strategy, he had been playing chess with Bao Zheng for the past few months, but he didn't do anything serious.Seeing Yunyan come back now, he put down his pen, "What's wrong?"

"Master, haven't you been recruiting recently? We recruited a very knowledgeable gentleman. I saw that he was out of the ordinary, so I invited him to live in the meditation room here." Yun Yan replied.

"Well, why is it so different from the vulgar?" Qiao Ran was quite curious, you know, Brother Yan has never described someone like that before.

Yun Yan replied: "You will know after looking at it."

He went outside and brought Gongsun Ce in, and introduced them to both parties: "This is my master Shangxiaran Zen Master." Because he has now formally apprenticed to a master, he avoided speaking a little bit, and said above and below to show respect, "This is Zen Master Shang Xiaran." It's Gongsun Ce, Mr. Gongsun."

Knowing that we will meet each other, looking up and down at Gongsun Ce, he smiled and said: "Sure enough, it's different from the vulgar."

When Gongsun Ce heard this, he misunderstood him. He really thought that Yun Yan had been ordered by Ming Ran to treat him well before returning. He was at a low point, and he was valued by others. Failed scholar."

Qiao Ran asked Gongsun Ce to sit down, talked with him, and confirmed what Yun Yan said.

Gongsun Ce was grateful for the understanding, and accidentally saw the words written on the paper, and pointed to him: "Excuse me for taking the liberty, the abbot is planning to rectify the atmosphere in the temple?"

Liao Ran nodded, and said: "Before the Song Dynasty, the Buddhist sect experienced several difficulties in the law. After the founding of the country, there were many restrictions on the Buddhist sect. Today, the monks in my temple are full of business, wine, sex and wealth. I intend to Rectification, but I am afraid of overcorrecting, which will backfire, and I am suffering from the scale.”

As he spoke, he glanced at Yun Yan and said, "Oh, my disciple is focusing on the management of the monastery. If he is asked to make an idea, he must be able to do so, but he has offended other monks."

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

After hearing this, Gongsun Ce volunteered and said: "The student is now serving in the monastery, and I would like to share the abbot's worries."

Knowing his heartbeat, he gave the terms he drafted to Gongsun Ce, and asked him to see how to measure accurately.

Gongsun Ce looked it over, then took a pen to revise without hesitation, and then submitted it to Mingran.

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

The secularization and management of monasteries is the trend of the Song Dynasty society, and it cannot be changed. Once you have money, many things will easily deteriorate.So if you want to improve the atmosphere in the temple, of course, start from the root.

Establish a reputation system for monks, and all monks who have had bad behaviors that have 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, and monks cannot own private property, which means that they cannot do business privately. It can be said that the monks who do business now actually violate the precepts and clear rules. If the monastery wants to arrest them, it will definitely stand.

Gongsun Ce has also grasped this degree very precisely, it will not be too strict, and it will not make people feel that it is not painful. If you want to continue to make money, you must maintain your own moral character.As for those who can't even make money and want to be bad monks, let alone.

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

Yun Yan nodded again and again, thinking about the clear system, it would not be difficult for him to do it in the future, and the temple gave everyone a chance, so he added another article at the end: the final interpretation of the regulations belongs to the abbot.

Gongsun Ce and Liao Ran probed to see this clearly, and both pointed Yun Yan to laugh back, and the atmosphere between the three of them suddenly became close.

Yun Yanhui invited Gongsun Ce to eat here again, he was planning to cook a fast meal for him today, Gongsun Ce agreed, because he came from the original residence today, his body was covered in dust, so he went to wash and change his clothes first.

When Gongsun Ce returned to his room to tidy up, Yun Yan went back to discuss Gongsun Ce's performance with Qingran.

Liao Ran admired Gongsun Ce very much. After all, Gongsun Ce helped him solve his worries in minutes, and his speech also showed that he had a lot of poems and books, "It's a pity that Gongsun Ce is so talented, but he failed repeatedly."

This can’t be helped. In ancient times, many talents were underappreciated, not because they did not read well enough, but because they had different tastes and ideas from those of the examiners and even the officials. After all, the national scientific examination is to select officials. The distinction between right and wrong can only be said to be born at the wrong time.

"Yeah, I'm still wandering around to work. After these two months of busy work, I don't know what to do, sir." Yun Yan replied.

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

"I think it will work." Isn't this the purpose of Yun Yan's return? He had just finished answering, and Gongsun Ce, who didn't know it, had already arrived.

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

"I was careless," Yun Yan couldn't help laughing back, and stood up, "I didn't consider that the clothes didn't fit, so I'll change it for my husband."

He brought the needle and thread, and Gongsun Ce did not need to take it off, so he sewed a few pleats on his body, and the clothes fit right away, and the pleats did not look like they were changed in size, but rather deliberate design .

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

"Ahem, don't tell others." Yun Yan replied a little embarrassed.

Knowing that, he also said with a smile: "He is a virtuous housekeeper who has been trained to do housework for the family. If you tell it, it will make him lose all his prestige."

From the words, Gongsun Ce guessed that Yun Yan probably had a difficult time before returning home, so he felt that this child is really good, and nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, I won't tell others."

……

Gongsun Ce was in Xiangguo Temple, firstly, he had preferential treatment, secondly, Yunyan stood up, and thirdly, he was very capable, so he was respected by the monks, and the work was carried out very smoothly.

Time flies like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, autumn begins, and the new Daxiangguo Temple International Food Festival opens again.

There are more and more people coming to the food festival every year. Gongsun Ce and Yun Yanhui stood together on a high place and said, "I came here twice before, but at that time I was depressed because of my poor grades in the scientific examination, so I just watched it." It's also difficult to catch the eye. After two months of busy work, my mind has opened up a lot, so looking at it this way, it's quite different."

"It's very different at first. Our scale is getting bigger every year. I'm still thinking about whether we should unite with other monasteries and open a branch venue in their territory." Yun Yanhui was quite proud, after all, this is He did it all by himself.

Gongsun Ce nodded with a smile, and the two went down hand in hand, ready to go for a stroll inside.

At this time, a little boy came running over with an anxious face. Seeing them, he shouted, "Brother Yan, Mr. Gongsun, it's not good!"

When Yunyan saw this situation, her heart skipped a beat.

After several years of rectification, coupled with the fact that Kaifeng Mansion and Xiangguo Temple have recently been in a good relationship, there is basically no major incident that will cause trouble, but if there is trouble, it means that it may not be good.

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

Tong Xing calmed down and said, "Brother Zhisheng had an accident. He broke the head and is still unconscious! Now the abbot is at the abbot's place, and the abbot asked you to come over."

Yun Yan suddenly felt scalp numbness, "Have you found out the identity of that person?"

Tong Xing said in a low voice: "Take a look, it seems to be the youngest son of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry..."

Gongsun Ce said "Hey", "It's not good. The Ministry of Industry has been keeping a close eye on Xiangguo Temple. I wish Xiangguo Temple could help them repair the entire Kaifeng Mansion and build a new palace."

Yun Yan turned back but covered her forehead, "Why are you an old friend of the people again!"

Zhou Huilin, who was taught to be a man by him a few years ago, and his father, Zhou Shilang, had a prosperous official career, and he was promoted to Shangshu the year before last, so the youngest son of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu that Xiaotong Xing said was Zhou Huilin, wasn't he?

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 replied with worry, "Let's go, let's go and see the situation first."
