Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 2558 Hope
Seeing that Zhang Jiayu was silent, Lin Wei stepped forward and said: "Student Lin Wei, a student of the county school, is really lucky to gather here with all the righteous men today. I have someone to recommend the Taoist plan. A man who likes fencing, is a chivalrous man, and often travels with nobles in grasslands. He is naturally intelligent and loyal to the emperor and the country, so he will definitely be able to take on this great task."

"Oh?" Taoist Mushi became interested.

Lin Wei pushed Zhang Jiayu from behind with his hand, and said, "He is my student, Zhang Jiayu."

Zhang Jiayu didn't intend to do this at first, but when Lin Wei pushed her like this, under the gaze of everyone, her childish fair face suddenly turned crimson.

Seeing Zhang Jiayu's embarrassment, someone immediately yelled: "Hahaha, shy white-faced scholar, can this be a dead end?"

At this time, Zhang Jiayu was only in his weaker years after all, and his temperament was uncertain.If it was in the past, with his bold temperament, he might have agreed to it, but at this moment, he only has the heart of asking for medicine to save his mother, so he can't care about the great cause of rebellion.Now that he has been involved in this dispute today, if he is pushed by the teacher like this, if he doesn't say that he is ugly, it may be difficult to get out.

He immediately suppressed his embarrassment, his face returned to normal, and said to everyone: "Student Zhang Jiayu, I have studied military art with my teacher for several years. Although I did not come from a scholarly family, I have been taught the ways of Confucius and Mencius since I was a child, and I also have the heart to serve the country. It's a pity that the students are unknown, with little talent and learning, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to take up this great responsibility."

Li Zhendao: "Brother, you don't need to be humble. I heard your name when I was in the county school. Everyone said that Dongguan Zhiyuan (Zhang Jiayu's name) was superb in swordsmanship, chivalrous and righteous. It's a pity that I didn't have the chance to meet you in the past. I am very sorry. I heard that Xiongtai went to Guangzhou before, and he spent a lot of time away from home. It must have been to go deep into the tiger's den to investigate the situation of Australians. Dingfu (Li Zhen's word) feels ashamed Not as good."

"Is that true? As expected of Zhang Wengong, who has been loyal for many generations. It really is a hero born a boy, Zhiyuan's actions are really a role model for our generation!" Su Guansheng praised with a little surprise.

Su Guansheng naturally recognized this handsome young man in front of him. He was the younger brother of his master Zhang Yifeng.The Zhang family lived in Dongguan for generations, and their ancestors were Zhang Jiugao, Zhang Jiuling's younger brother. Although his lineage was passed down to Zhang Jiayu's great-grandfather's generation, his family was poor, but he was also a family who had worked and studied for many generations.

Zhang Yifeng, a Juren in the 34th year of Wanli, was awarded the Tuiguan of Kuizhou Prefecture, and was later promoted to the counselor of Zuojiang Bingbei Road in Guangxi.In history, after Zhang Jiayu was elected, Zhang Yifeng recruited him to study in the military and military bureau in order to cultivate the young talent of the clan, and even arranged a wedding for the poor clan brother. attention to talent.It was also during the period of studying in the military preparation department that Zhang Jiayu's military literacy was greatly tempered.In the ninth year of Chongzhen, the emperor ordered the officials in the capital to report what they knew in order to stop the robbers and calm the people. Zhang Yifeng also recommended Su Guansheng to be the magistrate of Wuji County.Zhang Yifeng can be regarded as a little bole in Dongguan.

But what Su Guansheng, Zhang Jiayu and others didn't know was that due to the butterfly effect brought about by the appearance of the Kun bandits, Zhang Yifeng had already been transferred to the Beijing official before the Kun bandits launched an attack.At this time, Zhang Jiayu was only a scholar, and there were many scholars who failed in the imperial examination. It is still unknown whether Zhang Jiayu will be able to win the imperial examination or even Jinshi in the future.The Zhang family has a great career, and Dongguan is a place where culture and education flourished. There were more than 30 academies in the Ming Dynasty, and there were countless scholars. Naturally, Zhang Yifeng would not look at Zhang Jiayu differently at this time.Now that Guangdong and Guangxi have fallen, Zhang Jiayu can't go to the Bingbei Dao official office to study the art of war, and Su Guansheng can't be his Wuji magistrate.

After listening to Su Guansheng's words, Zhang Mu noticed that the handsome young man in front of him came from the same school as his own, and what was even more rare was that there was such a loyal man who was good at fencing and being a swordsman among the commoners, so he was immediately full of interest in him.

At the request of everyone, Zhang Jiayu had no choice but to talk about what he had seen and heard in Guangzhou, and even his participation in the Five Immortals Temple Salon and his participation in the Olympic Bidding Society organized by Zhen Kun, and everyone was amazed.

"Unexpectedly, there are people in my generation who know the truth..."

"What's even more rare is that you actually got into the Kun Bandit's academy and gained the attention of the Kun Bandit leader. In this way, it's much easier to infiltrate the Kun Bandit. Zhi Yuan is none other than Zhi Yuan for such a heavy responsibility." Someone praised.

It is not uncommon to be mixed into the club. The Shen'ao Institute is an open place. Anyone who is interested in studying in Australia can join as long as they are recommended by an official member. No qualifications are required. If you are not ready to officially join the club, you can No oath is required.To formally join the club, only three official members should jointly recommend it.

Official members, as for ordinary members, can borrow more esoteric Australian books, and have no other benefits.

But the fact that Zhang Jiayu was valued by Zhen Kun is real.There are quite a few people in the academy who are trying to get close to Zhen Kun, but few of them catch the eyes of Du and Cui, and Zhang Jiayu can be said to be one of them.

Zhang Jiayu's blood was also surging amidst the noisy praise, and he was a little dizzy.As far as he is concerned, although the Australians have the grace to know each other, it is not enough to make him accept it, so from the beginning, he has no good reason to reject the group of teachers, classmates, and fellow villagers.Now being praised by everyone again, the loyalty, filial piety and righteousness buried in his heart since childhood sprouted again, and he half-pushed and half-accepted this arduous task that fell from the sky.It's just that he was still concerned about his mother's illness, so he had a wry smile on his face.

Seeing this, Zhang Mu said, "Zhi Yuan is unhappy, could there be something unspeakable?"

Zhang Jiayu glanced at Taoist Mushi, and said to Zhang Mu: "Brother Tieqiao Mingjian, the old mother at home is seriously ill, and the medicine and stones are not effective. She has taken Australian sulfonamide several times and there is no improvement. My master said that today there is a visit from an expert, and I am here just for that." ..."

Taoist Mushi is a smart man, he has heard something unusual from Zhang Jiayu's adventure in Guangzhou, so he waved his whisk and said with a smile: "Little brother is a member of my generation, and he is willing to contribute to the great cause of rebellion. Dao Zidang will help. Pindao has specialized in Qimen Dunjia, Five Elements and Eight Diagrams since he was a child, and also has a little research on the art of Qihuang. I happen to have a few high-quality pills in my hand, which can help Lingtang overcome this disaster." Then he took out a small white porcelain bottle from the Taoist robe.

Zhang Jiayu seemed to have grasped the life-saving straw, knelt on the ground with a "plop", kowtowed and said: "Dao Dao is kind, Jiayu has no teeth to forget."

"However..." Taoist Master Mu Shi withdrew his smile, and said with a serious face: "My medicine is made by refining the Zijin Dan furnace for ninety-nine and eighty-one days according to the secret method passed down by the Supreme Lord. A wisp of true qi. This medicine only cures the benevolent, the righteous, the courteous, the wise, and the trustworthy. If one’s heart is directed towards the Great Ming, one’s spirit will be restored. Whether Lingtang can survive this calamity depends on the sincerity of the little brother.”

After all, Taoist Mushi carefully poured two khaki-colored pills from the small porcelain bottle and handed them to Zhang Jiayu, ordering him to take them with water, with a trace of reluctance flashing across his face.The people in the nunnery have never seen this kind of medicine, and they only think that it is a treasure of the fairy family, and it is really different.

Zhang Jiayu didn't know, and kept saying yes.

Su Guansheng said: "It's really fun today. Brothers are united. If you can break the gold, you will succeed in the great cause."

After everyone discussed properly, in order not to attract the attention of outsiders, they left Yan'an in batches.However, the more Zhang Mu and Zhang Jiayu chatted, the more they felt like each other, and they regretted seeing each other so late.

Zhang Mu pulled Zhang Jiayu and said, "Your ancestor and I came from the same family, but we have not seen each other for a long time. In the future, I will definitely come to the door to worship the name card and recognize the clan. If you and I have different surnames, we will also borrow cigarettes today." This treasure land is bound by gold orchids.”

Zhang Jiayu was flattered, and said: "Brother Tieqiao is a high-ranking nobleman, how dare Jiayu dare to climb high."

"Hey, Zhiyuan doesn't need to say much, you and I are both heroes, why bother to pretend to be a little woman?" Zhang Mu said boldly.

Seeing that Zhang Mu is so free and easy, Zhang Jiayu no longer shirks it, and after reporting the family history to each other, he and Zhang Mu become brothers.Zhang Mu knew that Zhang Jiayu was worried about his mother, so he didn't want to keep him anymore, but he himself stayed to talk about Buddhism with Li Yunlong who hadn't seen him for many years.

On that day, Zhang Jiayu gave his mother the khaki pills given by Taoist Mushi. An hour later, his condition seemed to have improved, and Zhang Jiayu, who was tired for days, lay down on the edge of the bed and fell asleep sleepily.

"Brother, brother..." After an unknown amount of time, the young Shi Bao shook Zhang Jiayu's shoulders and shouted, "Mother coughed again..."

Zhang Jiayu woke up in a jerk, unexpectedly it had been a night, he heard his mother's muffled cough, and thought in his heart that something was wrong, could it be that his lack of loyalty to Daming hurt his mother.

After he woke up, he remembered the reminder yesterday when his righteous brother Zhang Mu said goodbye to him.Zhang Mudao: "I have never had any contact with Su Guansheng, but I have heard that this son has great ambition and talent, and lacks strategy. Rebellion is such a big matter, this son must be incapable of handling it, and the people behind the scenes must be the Taoist Mu Shi and the stone man he said. But this Taoist is a foreigner, and his background is ambiguous. The world is dangerous, so my brother should be careful."

Zhang Mu's words are not unreasonable. He has traveled half of the Ming Dynasty in these years, and his experience in the rivers and lakes is not comparable to that of Zhang Jiayu, who has never traveled far and young. The smoke screen of the relationship, if the treatment fails, won't it damage the reputation of the genius doctor?Wood and stone Taoists are connected in various places. To subdue people's hearts, they must show various "miracles". However, there is no panacea in this world that can cure all diseases. Once these words are spoken, if they can't be cured, they are all insincere Yes, if it is cured, it will be the "miracle" of the Taoist priest.

"Could it be that only penicillin can save mother?" Zhang Jiayu held the prescription prescribed by the fake doctor in his hand, and remembered the doctor's mysterious expression.

After a while, Zhang Jiayu made up his mind and took his mother to Guangzhou City.
