During the period before Qingjun and Qianer finished class.

When Zhao Rong was lost in thought outside the house, he actually thought about asking Tao Yuanran.

The matters related to the ceremony of Dali Fengchan that we are about to face.

Ask him for help.

As a great monk in the Nascent Soul Realm who has lived for hundreds of years, this old man who likes to wear Nanhua scarves must be well-informed.

Maybe I have witnessed the consecration ceremony of some great Yamashita dynasties from other continents.

However, this idea was abandoned by Zhao Rong not long after it came up.

First, it is better to seek help from others than from yourself.

He, a Confucian scholar who studied etiquette, felt a little strange when he asked a Taoist gentleman who opposed etiquette for advice on "great etiquette".

Moreover, he was not clueless about the ceremony of becoming a Zen monk.

Since entering Mochi Academy, Zhao Rong has never slackened on the six arts, including the ritual arts, except for the musical arts which are irresistible and difficult to learn.

He has some tried and tested methods for the Zen Ceremony.

Therefore, Zhao Rong knew that the reason why he had the idea of ​​taking shortcuts was because of the hidden desire lurking in his heart:

He was not afraid of failing the etiquette test, but he wanted to...make a big splash and lead Gu Yiwu and other students from the Hall of Justice to achieve excellent test scores that were close to full marks.

Even now, it seems almost impossible to convince Meng Zhengjun to give them high scores.

However, before an exam, it is human nature to have the fantasy of "shocking the teacher and shocking the classmates."

Thinking about this scene, I feel very comfortable.

And it’s hard to even daydream, so what’s the difference between that and salted fish?

Therefore, Zhao Rong is no exception.

What's more, Gu Yiwu and other brothers from the Hall of Justice took the initiative to vent their anger on him.

Do your best and live up to them, this is what Zhao Rong didn't say to them, but kept it in his heart.

Ever since, Zhao Rongxinhu had a desire and wanted to take a shortcut.

However, this time he was alert quickly and realized this thought.

Just like what he said when he was woken up by scolding at the foot of Youshan Mountain.

Under the water of the monk's heart lake, it is not terrible to have desire. What is terrible is not realizing its existence, and thus being influenced by desire subtly.

The lake in the heart cannot be purified and gradually becomes polluted into a deep and deep lake. At that time, it is unknown what kind of evil and evil things will be nurtured.

Therefore, Zhao Rong gave up his immediate opportunistic thoughts, did not speak to Tao Yuanran, and was not prepared to ask Mr. Yan.

Just like what Meng Lao said with a smile when offering wine.

Fighting with others is endless fun.

What's more, it's an old-fashioned old woman who is unmarried after menopause. Fighting with her, well, it will be twice as happy.

Zhao Rong guessed what Mr. Meng meant by offering wine, but he would definitely not express his understanding in front of the wine offering.

besides.

There is another important reason for not asking Tao Yuanran for help.

As this Taoist old man who has lived in seclusion for most of his life just said, this time he entered the world, he saw the burden on his shoulders.

After being silent for most of his life, he wanted to have a good talk with the young people in the cultivation world on the mountain now, so that they could hear one more voice and have one more choice.

We cannot let other schools of thought take away the right to speak.

Therefore, Tao Yuanran has been inviting Zhao Rong to come and have tea in private, secretly and openly.

Just before leaving, he also told Zhao Rong his residence in Taiqing Mansion.

Although Zhao Rong saw the various expressions on the faces of the students regarding his private invitation by Tao Yuanran, Xiao Qian'er also looked proud of Brother Rong'er.

However, Zhao Rong had good reason to suspect that in Tao Yuanran's eyes, in addition to being a year-old friend, he was probably also a young man who had gone astray, and an enlightened beauty who had been poisoned by wrong Confucian ideas.

Good guy, Zhao Rong was a little afraid that once he went on the date, Tao Yuanran would even set up a "beauty trap" for him.

For example, call for a beautiful Taoist nun from the Louguan Taoist sect, who has the aura of being a Taoist monk, and give him good directions to avoid entering the wrong path again.

Ask the beautiful Taoist nun to point out a bright road to Zhao Rong.

While Zhao Rong was hesitating, he actually felt that he might not know who taught whom to enter Taoism.

Therefore, after letting Qingjun accept Tao Yuanran's precious 'meeting gift', it would be better not to take too many advantages.

These are all favors and karma, and must be repaid.

So, when Zhao Rong was wandering in his mind, thinking about going to the library tomorrow to look for books and interact with someone, a group of students walked out of the gate of Xiaoyao Mansion.

Qingjun and Qian'er were among them, walking towards him.

Zhao Rong greeted him.

It was already noon at this time.

Zhao Lingfei said that she was going to Duyou City today, and the teacher in the mansion had entrusted her with some matters.

So Zhao Rong suggested that he go to Duyou City for dinner at noon, just in time to accompany Qingjun to deal with things, and take a walk around the city together. Qingjun and Qian'er happily agreed.

The three of them walked through the north gate together and left the mansion.

…………

"What, Brother Rong'er, are you leaving Duyou to go to Dali to take part in that strange assessment?"

Zhao Qian'er, who was originally listening to the conversation between Zhao Rong and Zhao Lingfei, frowned, grabbed Zhao Rong's sleeve, shook it, and asked.

Zhao Rong turned around and nodded with a smile. "It's okay. I'll hold a ceremony for the Dali royal family and I'll be back soon. It won't be a trouble."

At this time, he stood between the two women.

Concubine Zhao Ling held Zhao Rong's right hand and listened quietly.

At this time, Zhao Qian'er grabbed his left hand with both small hands.

She spoke very quickly, "Brother Rong'er, are all your classmates from the school going?"

Zhao Rong's smile remained unchanged and he spoke vaguely, "Well... join me and dozens of students."

He didn't tell them about Meng Xuezheng just now.

Zhao Rong did not tell the two girls. In fact, he initially took the initiative to go alone...

Concubine Zhao Ling, who had been listening quietly, raised her eyes and glanced at her husband.

The little girl opened her mouth but stopped talking.

Finally, she lowered her head, knitted her eyebrows, and while smoothing out the wrinkles on Zhao Rong's sleeves, she stared and said to herself:

"Qian'er just came back, and the three of us finally got together. Brother Rong'er, you are usually busy with your studies at the academy, so it's okay if you can't come out to live together. Why are you leaving now..."

"You said you would come back very quickly...but, you always coax me like this every time you leave. Besides, just like what Mr. Tao said just now, who has a lot of truths, the world is getting chaotic now, and everything in the mountains and under the mountains is...

It’s not peaceful…”

Zhao Qian'er muttered something in her mouth, and stroked and stroked Zhao Rong's left sleeve, and it seemed that she couldn't straighten it out.

Zhao Rong and Zhao Lingfei looked at each other.

Zhao Lingfei gently raised her pointed chin twice and gestured in the direction of the unhappy little girl.

Seeing this, Zhao Rong smiled helplessly and said softly: "It's really fast this time, how about... how about we hook up?"

Zhao Qian'er pursed her lips, "No, man's mouth is a liar."

Zhao Rong: “…………”

He choked for a while and sighed:

"Then what do you say? I have to go for this assessment. This is something that has been decided by the academy. It's just child's play and cannot be changed at will."

Zhao Qian'er tilted her head and stared at Zhao Rong's right hand for a while. Then she suddenly raised her head, but she didn't look at Zhao Rong, but at her young lady.

She looked at Concubine Zhao Ling eagerly and said nothing.

Concubine Zhao Ling held Zhao Rong's right hand tightly in the autumn wind.

She pursed her lips, closed her long autumn eyes, and looked ahead at the bustling streets of Dongcheng.

Concubine Zhao Ling suddenly turned her head and said to Zhao Rong: "Husband."

Zhao Rong was a little confused, "What's the matter, Qingjun?"

Zhao Lingfei bit her lip, "I... I also want to go down the mountain to Dali with my husband... There have been a lot of things in the house recently, and the teacher has been asking me to stop... Forget it."

She paused and said firmly in an instant: "Husband, I will go too. Qian'er and I will accompany you to Dali."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Rong took three breaths of silence under the probing gazes of the two women.

He reached out and pulled Zhao Lingfei's waist into his arms, his forehead lightly touching hers.

Zhao Rong looked at his wife's autumn eyes and shook his head.

"There's no need to do that. Going to Dali this time is not a big deal. It's just a ritual test. Listen to your teacher and don't leave Duyou yet."

Concubine Zhao Ling opened her lips to speak.

Zhao Rong looked at her pink and tender lips and wanted to lean forward to block them, but it was not convenient on the street at the moment, and Qian'er was still watching eagerly beside her.
