Chapter Seventy-Seven: Wooing Cheng to bite the gold
"You are Cheng Yanjin, a native of Jeju Dong'a?" Li Wenyuan looked at the black-faced man in front of him with great interest, dressed in patched cloth.
"Back to the manager, I am Cheng Biting Jin, but did you send someone to tell me that someone here is here to treat my wife's illness, is it true?" Cheng bit the golden urn and asked Li Wenyuan angrily.
"Iron Bull, Hugh is rude." A white-faced man on the other side stopped Cheng Biting Jin's question, turned to Li Wenyuan and said, "Don't blame the boss, my brother lost his father since he was a child. His wife brought him up, so now that his wife is sick, he is also anxious. I haven't had to report my name and surname to the manager, and my surname is Qin Mingqiong, and this is my cousin Cheng Biting Jin, the word Yizhen. ”
"Filial piety comes first, Brother Tie Niu's mother is seriously ill, I will naturally understand. What's more, as the governor of the Western Regions, since I have spoken, I will not speak. Regardless of whether the two of you can gain fame in this martial arts exam, I will treat Tie Niu's old mother. Li Wenyuan said with a smile.
It was really unexpected to be able to invite Qin Qiong this time. Cheng Yanjin served under Li Mi's account at this time, but Li Mi was a bandit after all, and Cheng Yanjin's mother never had a good cultivation in the army. Li Wenyuan asked the night owl to bring news to Cheng Yanjin, claiming that he had found a secret medicine in the Western Regions that could cure Cheng Yanjin's mother's stubborn illness. I hope to use this to attract Cheng Yanjin to come to me to participate in the martial arts examination.
In fact, to put it bluntly, Cheng Bitingjin's mother's illness is not a disease, but it is actually a painstaking parenting of Cheng Biting Jin for a long time, and as long as he gets a good recuperation, his illness can be cured without treatment. As for Qin Qiong, he is now serving as an officer under Zhang Xutuo's account, and his future is promising. Originally, he didn't hope to win him over to his side, but Cheng Yanjin was able to say that he would move Qin Qiong to come to the Western Regions to participate in the martial arts examination, which was really unexpected by Li Wenyuan. At this time, Li Wenyuan's heart was already full of joy, but the city government that had been trained for many years still made Li Wenyuan feel angry and angry, and he just smiled politely. arranged for the two of them to stay first, preparing to participate in the spring martial arts examination in the near future.
Later that day, Li Wenyuan brought the best doctor in Wuwei County to the hotel where Cheng Yanjin's mother was temporarily resting, and treated Cheng Yanjin's mother. After the treatment, Cheng Yanjin fed his mother a soothing soup. He quietly closed the door of the room, walked outside and said to Li Wenyuan and the doctor: "What is my mother's illness, is there a cure?" ”
The doctor stroked his beard and said, "Ling Tang is not suffering from any serious illness, but he has been working hard for a long time, and his qi and blood are deficient. It's a disease of hard work. You can eat more warm and tonic things, and you can heal yourself without curing for good health and recuperation. However, it is still necessary to recuperate early, and it may hurt your body if it drags on for a long time. ”
"Please also explain to the gentleman, what kind of recuperation is good?" Cheng Yanjin was also relieved to hear that his mother was not seriously ill, but then he heard the doctor say that if it dragged on for a long time, it might cause harm to the body, so he hurriedly asked.
"At the moment, it is the best quality to take the Tianshan snow lotus decoction water produced by the Western Turkic Royal Court." The doctor thought for a moment, stroked his beard, and said with a solemn face.
Cheng Yanjin was dumbfounded when he heard this, not to mention that he had never heard of what these Tianshan Snow Lotus flowers were, just the Fanbang Foreign Country that produced Snow Lotus, the Western Turkic Royal Court, was not a place he could reach. Not to mention whether the savings he has accumulated over the years in Li Mijun's army can afford to buy this snow lotus.
Li Wenyuan took out the fee from his bosom and handed it to the doctor, signaled to him that he could go, and sent someone back to the house to fetch the snow lotus. Then he pulled Cheng Yanjin to sit down on the stone bench in the courtyard, and said to him: "Brother Tieniu, I have been lucky enough to get a few snow lotus flowers in the Western Regions over the years, and I will send someone to fetch them from the library and send them to you in a while." It's just that the snow lotus must be stored in the ice cellar to not lose its medicinal properties, so I will bring you one out today, and you will decoct water for your mother first. When this plant is exhausted, you can go to my house and pick it up again. ”
Cheng Yanjin is not a fool, on the contrary, he is the essence of the human spirit, and he knows the truth that no merit is not punished. At that moment, he also asked Li Wenyuan: "The chief manager spent such a valuable thing to treat my mother's illness, and I was reckless, how can I afford this great favor?" ”
When Li Wenyuan saw Cheng Yanjin asking why he spent a lot of money to treat his mother's illness, he immediately smiled and said to him: "When there were bandits in Shandong in the sixth year of the Great Cause, I used to pass through Dong'e. I have heard that you have recruited hundreds of villagers to protect the territory and the people, which is different from those rogues who fall into the grass and only know how to rob homes and houses for a living. At that time, I had the intention of making friends, but unfortunately I was on official business, and I never had time to get to know you. Later, I learned by chance that Ling Zun was the governor of Jeju in my Great Sui. Fang knew that the tiger father had no dog son, which was not groundless. Later, I heard that you were serving in Li Mi's army, and I felt sorry for it. If it weren't for the compulsion of life, who would have defiled themselves and become a coward with the rogues? It coincided with my passage through the Western Regions, and it coincided with the employment of people. I just want to invite you to come and do something great with me in the Western Regions for the benefit of the people, and I heard that Lingtang is suffering from a strange illness, and my mother went early, so she didn't have the opportunity to do her filial piety in front of the hall. This treatment for Lingtang Doctor can be regarded as fulfilling one of my wishes. ”
Hearing Li Wenyuan's intentions, Cheng Biting Jin smiled bitterly and said, "This time it may be to disappoint the manager." Since my father left, I have been forced to do some small business in order to make a living, and I have long been out of martial arts. At this time, he forgot what his father wanted to teach, and this is a martial arts examination that may not be able to make a name for himself. However, my cousin Qin Qiong is a first-class hero I have seen in my life, not to mention his strong martial arts for the time being, he is very strategic in commanding the troops. Although he did not have any military exploits when he was under Zhang Xutuo's account, it was all because of the battle against the bandits, and the so-called good fighters have no outstanding military exploits. ”
"You don't have to worry about that. I really want talents, so I set up a martial arts exam here. As long as there is a person with real talent and learning, he will definitely be able to get the corresponding official title and treatment. There will not be any behavior of burying talents, on the contrary, Brother Tie Niu, you have to work hard, I am still looking forward to the time when you put on your armor and go into battle, kill all sides, and revive Ling Zun's prestige. Li Wenyuan handed the wooden box of snow lotus flowers sent by his subordinates to Cheng Yanjin in front of him without looking at it, and said.
