Chapter 37: Turning Fake into Reality
"Today, thanks to Mr. Righteousness, great kindness, the students are grateful......" Out of the county office, Zhang You hugged Mr. Haiyue. Mr. Haiyue laughed and interrupted him: "Zicheng has excellent medical skills, so without me, I'm afraid I can win, right?" ”
Zhang You stole a glance at Li Shuo, knowing that this Mr. Haiyue must have guessed that the hairless matter under his mother's armpits was related to him, and he did not hide it, and said: "Today's matter, the student has indeed been on guard, but if Mr. and Uncle Shi and you come forward, it will definitely not be so easy......" said and checked the sealed silver in his hand, and said with a smile: "What's more, I got so much silver for nothing, I'm afraid it won't be less than a hundred taels, right?" This is all the face of the two of you, so I won't talk nonsense, I'm going to be the east at night, what do you want to eat, you two just talk. ”
"Forget about thanking me, Mr. Haiyue still has a big face, and I'm a fox and a fake tiger...... By the way, Zicheng, I haven't introduced Mr. Haiyue to you yet......"
"Guo Zaoqing, the word Jianchu, the word 'sir' is well deserved, thanks to Qi Shuai's eyes, let's eat with a mouthful of food!" Mr. Haiyue took over with a smile and a very modest attitude.
Zhang You's heart was shocked, and he looked at Mr. Haiyue in surprise: "It turns out that you are Guo Zaoqing, the number one military advisor of Qi Shuai who wrote "History of Yan...... I'm sorry, the student was rude, I really didn't expect it to be you...... No wonder, I'm so stupid, I should have thought of it a long time ago. ”
By the time he said this, his face was already full of chagrin. There is no way, this Guo Zaoqing is not an ordinary person, not only has he won the trust of Qi Jiguang, but Hu Zongxian, Li Sui, Ye Mengxiong and others also value him very much. Hu Zongxian and Li Sui died early at this moment, that Ye Mengxiong was a famous firearms master in history, and the "Ye Gong Shen Gong" made him repeatedly performed miraculous feats on the battlefield and became the most effective heavy weapon in the late Ming Dynasty.
This is a character who can directly connect with Ye Mengxiong, in all fairness, even when he guessed the identities of Qi Jiguang and Liang Menglong, Zhang You was not as excited as he is now.
"The contemptible people came to Jizhou at the invitation of Qi Shuai, and compiled the "History of Yan" for more than half a year, I didn't expect you to hear about it, it seems that Zicheng is not only skilled in medicine, but also very concerned about current affairs!" Guo Zaoqing was a little surprised, he never felt that he was a nerd when he first saw Zhang You, but when he heard the word "Yan History" from Zhang You's mouth, he was still a little surprised.
In ancient times, scholars regarded morality, meritorious service, and speech as the top priority of the human voice, Guo Zaoqing was smart since childhood, poetry, calligraphy and the art of war, proficient in everything, but unfortunately the luck was not good, and he wasted half his life, so far his identity is just a "tribute to Chengjun", "Chengjun" is another name for Guozijian, to put it bluntly, he is a college student.
Therefore, Guo Zaoqing attaches great importance to the revision of "History of Yan", and he is doing it as a cause that will leave his name for the ages.
"If you want me to say, don't compliment each other, you two meet today, it's definitely a fate from heaven...... You think, Zicheng didn't want to kneel in Ningzhi County, so he lied and wanted to worship the teacher tomorrow, but you came out, in my opinion, it is better to fake it and really accept Zicheng as your disciple. ”
Hearing Zhang Rang say this, Zhang You suddenly moved and said: "Being able to worship Mr. Haiyue as a teacher is naturally a blessing for the little nephew, but the little nephew is stupid, I don't know if Mr. is willing to accept it." ”
Guo Zaoqing smiled heartily and said: "It's rare for the little doctor to look at my little ability, if I refuse, I'm afraid I'll kick my nose a little bit, yes, I'll accept you as a student." Didn't you say you wanted to treat you just now, just right, when you have a banquet, don't go to any restaurant, buy a few elbows to stew, and then make two jars of flower carvings. ”
Zhang Rang doesn't have much contact with Guo Zaoqing on weekdays, and when he saw him so bold, he suddenly fell in love, laughed, and said: "I don't want Mr. to have a preference with me, don't say it, my chef is absolutely a must to make Dongpo elbows, let's go for a walk, tonight we can be regarded as double happiness, not drunk, not drunk." ”
Guo Zaoqing returned drunk, and was carried back to the other house of Qi Jiguang, the head of the Long family, in a sedan chair.
Although it is not far from Jizhou, it is 200 miles away from the Santun camp where the chief military officer of Jizhen is stationed, the reason why Qi Jiguang chose to build another house here is that he likes this place is very close to Kyoto, and secondly, he likes the elegant and quiet environment here.
Guo Zaoqing met Qi Jiguang when he was in the south, and the two hit it off at first sight and soon became confidants. Later, the Japanese were pacified, Qi Jiguang went north to rectify the armament, first served as the deputy general of the Shenji Battalion, and then under the recommendation of Tan Lun, the then governor of Jiliao, he premiered the military affairs of Jizhou, Changping, Liaodong and Baoding. Subsequently, Guo Hu, the chief military officer of Jizhen, was transferred away and replaced by him.
It was the second year of Longqing, and the first thing Qi Jiguang did after taking over as the chief military officer of Jizhen was to invite Guo Zaoqing to go north to help him. It's a pity that Guo Zaoqing was seriously ill because of his friend Xu Zhongxing (one of the seven sons of the Later Ming Dynasty, and he had a good relationship with Wu Chengen) and couldn't bear to travel far away, until Xu Zhongxing died of illness last year, so he had no ties to go north.
Qi Jiguang admired his character, in addition to introducing him as his chief military advisor, he also handed over the important task of revising the history of Yan to him, and at the same time, in order to let him repair the book with peace of mind, he also lent him this mansion.
On the eighth day of the first month, the barbarians attacked Jinzhou, the guerrilla general Zhou Zhiwang was defeated and died, and on the 19th, Li Chengliang, the chief military officer of Liaodong, defeated the barbarians in the Langtu ("Ming History, Shenzong Benji"), the news came, Shenzong was overjoyed, and the army was reviewed on the third day of the first month of March, and the three armies were rewarded. Although this matter has little to do with Qi Jiguang, there is no reason to take a vacation all the time, and he has already returned to Santun Camp.
Zhang You and Li Shuo were taken away by Xi Long, after Zhang Rang got the news, he was afraid that his face would not be enough to help Zhang You, so he went to the Qi Mansion with the attitude of giving it a try, and he didn't want Guo Zaoqing to be really there, so he hurriedly asked him to help, and only then did the two of them appear together in Pinggu County.
When Guo Zaoqing woke up, he was already on the third pole, and he was still a little dizzy in his mind, but he suddenly heard someone talking outside, and there was a faint voice of Zhang You.
He didn't live in the main house, but lived in the West Cross Courtyard, and as soon as he went out, he saw that not only Zhang You was at the stone table in the courtyard, but Zhang Jialin was actually there, and her maid Chunxing, as well as the housekeeper in the house, were watching the maid Mei Niang fiddling with something. He was curious, hurriedly walked over, and couldn't help but smile after seeing the things in Mei Niang's hand, and said:
"What do you think you're looking at? It turned out to be Kong Ming's lantern, I just taught it to Mei Niang a few days ago, so I took it out to show off? ”
