Chapter 367 Everything is Determined
The old monk had a kind look on his face, slightly closed his eyes, and slowly spoke:
"Donor, everything in the world has its destiny. If you have good intentions, good results will come."
Chen Sanlang's heart was slightly moved, but he couldn't figure out the mystery behind the words, so he asked anxiously:
"Master, is there any predestined relationship among them? I hope you can give me some guidance."
The old monk shook his head slightly, his lips moving slightly.
"All phenomena arise from causes and conditions; when the causes cease, the phenomena cease. My teacher, the great ascetic, always says this."
The low voice echoed slowly in the Buddhist temple, as if it had a magical power that made Chen Sanlang believe in its meaning deeply, yet unable to grasp the edge.
While deep in thought, the old monk looked at Chen Sanlang deeply, but stopped talking. He clasped his hands together and slowly walked towards the depths of the Buddhist temple.
Chen Sanlang pondered for a long time amid the curling smoke of incense in the hall, but found that the old monk who solved the mystery had disappeared long ago.
Chen Sanlang stood there in a daze, repeating the scripture in confusion: "All dharmas arise from causes and conditions; when the causes cease, the dharmas cease..."
Unable to comprehend the profound meaning, Chen Sanlang silently recited Buddhist teachings and walked down the mountain along the southern mountain path of Lingyun Temple.
The sun shines through the woods on the mountain road, casting dappled shadows. There is a wooden sign at a bend in the road:
The mountain path is winding, so you should ease the reins and walk slowly. Without stability, you cannot travel safely, and without slowness, you cannot avoid disaster. I hope you will be careful.
Chen Sanlang pondered for a long time, without paying any attention, and went around the bend and down the mountain.
As soon as he entered the city, he met Huo Ying, who looked serious. Huo Ying said hurriedly, "Brother, what have you been busy with these days? I can't find you!"
"Brother, is there any news about Brother Sun Wei?"
Huo Ying shook his head and walked back while saying:
"We got accurate information today. Sun Wei went to Bac Ninh and is said to not be back in the short term."
"Is the news accurate?"
"Accurate. I also heard from the servants of the Wang family about Sun Wei's home address. I went to check it out and heard from his mother that it should be accurate..."
Chen Sanlang's heart sank. He had originally wanted to inquire about Wang Jinyi's news from Sun Wei, but he was afraid he would have to wait.
"Brother, it's okay. I can wait. Brother Sun Wei will come back soon."
He thought of Tai Sheng Office and Zhao Chunming.
The next morning, Chen Sanlang found Zhao Chunming and explained his purpose. "Manager Zhao, if the audit is concentrated in a certain period of time, you can try me out and see what I am actually like."
Zhao Chunming enthusiastically made him tea. After hearing what he said, he felt that this person could be used, but he couldn't say it directly because he needed to investigate and understand him and his family, so he interrupted and exchanged a few pleasantries.
Chen Sanlang didn't understand why he was not hired despite a warm welcome. He looked a little serious.
"Is it because my ability does not meet the requirements? I can still..."
"No, no, no, you are good and meet the requirements. It's just that the accounting work is special and I still need to learn more. Please forgive me. I'm afraid it will take some time!"
Chen Sanlang heard this and immediately bowed, "Manager Zhao is so cautious because he is responsible for Tai Sheng. I understand. I also hope to have a chance to prove myself."
The two agreed to meet again on the 7th to hear the news.
This time Chen Sanlang felt relieved and began to consider entering Xunyang Academy after the autumn examination.
Three days later, Chen Sanlang returned to Xunyang with the certificate of scholarship issued by the Xunnan Education Commissioner, the recommendation letter from Mr. Xu, and the guarantee materials.
I went straight to the provincial school as soon as I entered the city, but I didn't expect that the entrance of Xunyang Academy was so lively.
Chen Sanlang saw from afar the chief academic officer of the provincial academy and three famous scholars standing at the door. Many students were also gathered in front of the door, as if they were welcoming some important person.
After a while, a small carriage covered with blue cloth stopped in front of the college gate. A young man got out and bowed humbly. Several great scholars couldn't suppress their smiles, which caused whispers among the people.
"This is the champion of this subject!"
"That's right, this is a member of the Wang family, and...tsk tsk tsk, his talent and appearance are impeccable."
"It's not enough to just say it. He is the son of the former Minister of Rites, and the Wang family has a long history of scholars and a profound background. You and I can't compare."
Someone else joined in, "Hey, I heard that the one who wrote the storybook is also from the Wang family."
"You mean the stars in the night sky?"
More people joined in the discussion, "I heard that it was written by the young master of the Wang family..."
"What? I heard that the Wang family members were just gossiping and had someone record it and publish it."
"Ah? I heard that..."
Many people gathered together and murmured and exclaimed, "Oh!"
"is it?"
Chen Sanlang listened for a while with his ears pricked up, but unfortunately he was not familiar with them and no one talked to him.
But since he is a member of the Wang family, we have to take a closer look.
The newcomer Xie Yuan was seen wearing a blue shirt, with an upright posture, a handsome face, and an extraordinary temperament.
In particular, he had a pair of phoenix eyes, which sparkled like obsidian.
Chen Sanlang suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him. He squeezed through the crowd and wanted to take a closer look.
In the crowd, Wang Shuyan, under the gaze of the chief priest and the great scholar as if he were a treasure, climbed the stairs and entered the gate of the academy.
The students who were watching at the gate followed behind and entered through the main gate. Chen Sanlang was swept into the gate of Xunyang Academy in the crowd.
As soon as he entered the door, Chen Sanlang was shocked by the academy in front of him.
The courtyard is spacious and quiet, the towering buildings are heavy and steady, and the sturdy columns support the eaves, like a bird spreading its wings, as if to break through the sky.
The wide stone road, with lush green trees on both sides, seems like a quiet place for meditation.
The schools are lined up in an orderly manner and connected by corridors. They are simple and exquisite.
This was the first school that Chen Sanlang had officially entered since he came to this world, but he was shocked at the first sight.
From afar, I saw huge words on the tallest building - Library.
The amazing building gave people an ultimate sense of respect, and Chen Sanlang finally understood that the nation’s cultural heritage was carefully protected in this way.
The people passing by brought his thoughts back to his senses.
Chen Sanlang wanted to ask about the academy's chief priest's office, but before he could finish, someone pointed it out to him, "Go along the corridor, the students' dormitories are on the west side. The principals' study is on the east side.
There is a most neatly organized study room, with the plaque on the door reading "Mo Xuan". "
Chen Sanlang thanked the person who showed him the way, followed the corridor to the study of "Mo Xuan", straightened his robe, took a deep breath, raised his hand and gently knocked on the door knocker...
Wang Jinyi, who was far away in Beining, heard the knocks on the door of the flower hall and felt that he was even busier than when he was in Xunyang.
Wang Wenbin pushed the door open, holding a stack of notebooks in his hand, and greeted his little cousin naturally.
"Jinyi came early today. I just happened to have something to ask you."
As he spoke, he pulled out a notebook, Wang Jinyi put away the brush, stood up to greet him, and then the two began to talk about the jewelry workshop.
After helping the young lady with her writing last time, Jade Purity Immortal has now become a full-fledged secretary, but he still stays quietly in an inconspicuous corner on weekdays.
The cold-eyed wife of the clan has been following Wang Jinyi, recording her actions and watching the development of her relationship with the Wang family's children...
