Chapter 548: Saving Mother
Don't let your mind wander. Huanqing is willing to exchange kindness. ---------Southern Song Dynasty. Zhao Changqing's "Butterfly Loves Flowers"
It is said that there is God's will in the dark. Chen Long looked for Jiang Wei in Tianshui on purpose, but unexpectedly he met Jiang Wei by chance on the long street. In an ordinary car accident, Chen Long accidentally saved Jiang Wei's mother, and the two met by chance and became acquaintances. Although Chen Long only used the fake identity of Huaiyang, Jiang Wei obviously still had doubts about people of a foreign race. .
Jiang Wei's mother was informed and sensible, so Chen Long asked about Jiang's mother's leg problem. Jiang's mother sighed slightly and said: "Bo Yue's father died early. Boyue lived with me since he was a child, and then his family fell into decline. I had no choice but to manage a small part of the subsistence farming life myself. Unfortunately, my waist and legs were injured by a wooden plow, and I have been half-disfigured ever since. It's hard to get up. Every day when I go out, Bo Yue pushes the cart." Although his words were calm, there seemed to be infinite sadness hidden in them.
Jiang Wei said nothing, but looked at his mother's eyes with tenderness. It was not easy for a widowed mother and an orphan to survive in that era, let alone one with a disability. Under Jiang's mother's calmness, she didn't know how much suffering was hidden, and Chen Long sighed secretly in his heart.
After thinking about it, Chen Long said: "My aunt is already a winner in life if she can raise such a son who is both civilized and martial, and extremely loyal and filial. I think Bo Yue's father must also be loyal and righteous."
When Jiang's mother heard this, she couldn't help but recall the sad past. She couldn't control herself, her eyes were a little moist, and she said with a trembling voice: "Bo Yue's father was indeed loyal to the country, but unfortunately he died on the battlefield." However, she did not say that Jiang Wei's father was fighting against the invasion. He was killed in a foreign battle, fearing to offend Chen Long, who was pretending to be a barbarian.
Chen Long really felt a sense of respect for this well-informed and sensible old lady. The more ordinary it is, the more extraordinary it becomes. Thinking of her leg disability, I couldn't help but say in my heart: "Although I am a barbarian, I wandered around Hanzhong and Chang'an when I was young. I had to meet the Central Plains doctor Xianhua Miracle Doctor and learned the massage method. Although I have suffered from age-old injuries, if It can dredge and activate blood circulation and exercise muscles for a long time, and it may have miraculous effects.”
Jiang Wei heard this and said happily: "Brother, how can you have such a unique skill? I am willing to sell the iron. Please give me the massage method."
Chen Long laughed and said: "It's not that I'm arrogant, I'm afraid my little brother's family property is not as good as mine as a foreigner. Anyway, being able to make friends with Boyue today is my greatest wealth. I am willing to give the massage method to Boyue for free." "I thought that if I could bring Jiang Wei under my command, it would indeed be the best way.
Jiang Wei was overjoyed and quickly gave an address and said: "It's a blessing to be able to make friends with Xiongtai. Xiongtai lives in Tianshui? If you have time, please come to my home to teach. As long as you go to this address, When asked about Jiang Bo's family, everyone knows my name."
Chen Long saw the county official coming from a distance, and remembered that Lu Chang was following Yan Xing and didn't know what to do. Knowing that the breakup was about to happen, he replied: "In that case, I can arrange a visit tomorrow."
Jiang Wei cupped his hands and said, "I didn't ask for it. However, my mother is going out today to live temporarily in the Zhou Dynasty in the east of the city. She can help Miss Zhou make some needles and earn some money to live on. I also ask Brother Huaiyang to come to my mother in three days. I wonder if I can come here to teach you after I return?"
Chen Long shook his head slightly and said, "What a coincidence! I'm afraid I'll have to attend Zheng Xuan's party in three days, so I won't have time for a whole day." He thought that if there was news about Diao Chan in three days, he would have to work hard, and there would be no time for Jiang. Mother massage?
Chen Long said something carelessly, but when he looked up, he saw Jiang Wei's eyes widening in a rare sight, with a look of surprise on his face. He panted and pressed Chen Long's shoulders with his hands, asking: "Are you talking about attending Zheng Xuan's party? Which Zheng Xuan?"
Chen Longqi said: "Who else is Zheng Xuan in the world? Of course it is Zheng Xuan and Zheng Kangcheng, professor of Confucianism and master of classics."
Jiang Wei's face was already flushed with excitement, and he raised his hands and begged: "Is it really Master Zheng who came to Tianshui in person? What I have studied day and night are all the Confucian classics annotated by Master Zheng. There are many doubts in them, and I deeply regret that I did not have the opportunity to meet Master Zheng face to face. Ask for advice. If my brother can take me to attend Master Zheng’s lectures, I would like to give my family heirloom to my brother."
According to the official history, Jiang Wei studied everywhere under the guidance of his widowed mother since he was a child. He liked the teachings of the Confucian master Zheng Xuan the most and regarded Zheng Xuan as his idol. No wonder Jiang Wei was so excited when he heard that Zheng Xuan came to Tianshui in person. A teacher is someone who preaches, teaches, and resolves doubts. People are not born with knowledge. How can anyone be free from doubts?
Chen Long knew very well that Jiang Wei also loved learning, otherwise there would not have been a Jiang Boyue who was both civil and military in history. But because of this, he threw away his family heirloom, which seemed to be more beneficial to Zheng Xuan than saving his mother. He smiled and asked, "A family heirloom? What is that?"
Jiang Wei hurriedly said: "My father has been fighting for many years, and a secret book of marksmanship was passed down from home, called "Mingwang's Eighteen Spears". Legend has it that it was written by Ma Mingwang, the master of marksmanship in Tianshan. My little marksmanship is all from it. I learned this secret book. If you can take me to the Zheng Xue Conference, I will give it to Brother Huaiyang in return. I will never break my promise."
Chen Long knew that Jiang Wei's marksmanship was quite impressive in the official history. It seemed that this marksmanship secret book did contain real information. Chen Long said seriously: "Bo Yue's words are serious. Since it was passed down from your father, how can I accept it? So, I will definitely find a way when I go back so that Boyue can participate in the conference. However, if you don't mind pretending to be mine. Servants or guards will double your chances."
Chen Long provoked Jiang Wei with words. If he didn't mind wearing Hu clothes and pretending to be his bodyguard, it would be of great benefit to eliminate the distinction between Hu and Han in his heart. Sure enough, Jiang Wei hesitated for a moment and said: "That's fine. As long as I can see Master Zheng teach him face to face, I am willing to do anything."
Chen Long was overjoyed and clapped his hands and said, "That's it! I'll inform Bo Yue after I arrange everything." What he was happy about was that he had taken a very solid first step to conquer Bo Yue. Jiang Wei is the best candidate to guard Xiliang in the future. The only thing he needs to worry about is whether he has enough time to subdue Jiang Wei.
If he succeeds in saving his beloved wife Diao Chan, he still has ambitions to take Ma Yunluo away, but if he is on the run next, he may not have time to subdue Jiang Wei. But if he can plant his own seeds in Jiang Wei's heart, it won't be too late to recruit Jiang Wei when he gathers his troops to fight Han Sui, the overlord of Xiliang.
Chen Long has made a decision in his mind. The most important thing now is that Lu Chang can find the traces of Diao Chan through tracking and rescue her secretly, and secretly participate in the Zheng Xuan Conference and martial arts competition to find a bride and marry the beauty in his heart. These two paths, light and dark, are worthy of all your energy and effort, and there can be no mistakes. If that line fails, you will regret it for the rest of your life.
Seeing that Chen Long was slightly distracted, Jiang Wei thought that Chen Long didn't believe that he would hand over the secret book, and said anxiously: "Brother, I sent my mother to Zhou's house, and immediately returned home to get the secret book, and gave it to brother to collect. Brother, please tell me where you live, and I will go find you tonight at the earliest and tomorrow morning at the latest."
Chen Long knew that Jiang Wei had misunderstood, but did not point it out. He smiled and told the address of his greenhouse, and said: "It just so happens that I have to attend the Zheng Xuan Conference in the past two days. If you don't have to take care of your mother, you can come and tell me about Tianshui's top management tomorrow morning. The situation is convenient for me to make a plan."
Jiang Wei obviously still had some doubts about Chen Long's identity. Hearing this, he said without hesitation: "Brother! My mother is doing housework in Zhou Dynasty, but there are people taking care of her. I will bring the secret book and come to the greenhouse to look for brother. "
Chen Long laughed and said, "That's the best! Bo Yue, don't ask us to be brothers like this. Just call me Huaiyang." Jiang Wei glanced at his mother, saw her smiling and nodding, and finally smiled and said: "Huaiyang, I won't say thank you for your kindness!" Pushing the cart, Chen Long hurriedly said goodbye to Jiang's mother. The mother and son, as well as the cart, slowly disappeared into the street at sunset.
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
