Chapter 168: Song Qian
In the blink of an eye, three months flew by.
Although Cai Yong's insistence on staying with each other made Wang Xu a little helpless, he also gained a lot from the exchanges in these days, and learned a lot of useful things from Cai Yong. Not only literature, but also astronomy, history, government affairs, etc., is very extensive. And what interests him the most is that he has learned the guqin, flute and dong flute and other musical instruments, although he is a beginner, he seems to be quite talented in his life, and every day under the guidance of the famous Cai Yongdi, he has made great progress.
And Yan Ming seems to be extremely proficient in classical music, so he can often communicate with Cai Yong's father and daughter. Although there is still a huge gap with them in terms of level, they have mature knowledge of music and rhythm in later generations, so the three of them tinkered with the fact that they have transformed the only five tones of Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu into Gong, Shang, Jiao, Qingjiao, Zheng, Yu, and the Seven Scales of the Palace, which are equivalent to the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 of the descendants, which only matured in the Qing Dynasty, but now it is more than 1,800 years ahead because of Yan Ming.
Originally, Yan Ming also proposed the concept of ascending and descending tones, but Cai Yong felt that this still needed to be cautious, and he needed to study the rhythm with more people before it could be finalized. If you don't think about it, then the music is beautiful, but it makes it difficult to hear people's hearts. For example, murderous, evil, lonely, snickering joy and other inner moods, Wang Xu and Yan Ming were stunned.
In addition, Wang Xu also witnessed the scene of "Cai Yong saving the qin". On that day, Cai Yong was in the courtyard according to Wang Xu and Yan Ming's construction of the first single-pipe hole flute in history, and when he was tuning, there was a sudden sound of "crackling" wood fire next door. Wang Xu and Yan Ming didn't feel anything, but Cai Yong was instantly shocked, and as soon as the bamboo pipe in his hand was still in his hand, he ran out with a rolling belt. After a while, he ran back with a bronze wood with a charred surface, and even his hands were a little burned. But his expression was uncontrollable, saying that he wanted to create a peerless piano.
Seeing this, of course, Wang Xu and Yan Ming immediately understood what was going on, this bronze wood saved from the fire was probably the body of the Jiaowei Qin. It's a pity that Wang Xu finally couldn't see the birth of Jiaoweiqin, one of the four famous ancient pianos, because Cai Yong wanted to be quiet when he was alone, and he was worried that the piano would be flawed because of his restlessness.
In the end, because a few people had indeed stayed for too long, Cai Yong himself was embarrassed to do any more, so Wang Xu was able to set a date to leave. It's not that he doesn't want to spend time with them anymore, it's that he still has a lot to do. At the very least, Xu Sheng and Dian Wei must not be allowed to be idle any longer, as soon as he sees the two generals teasing a bunch of little children in the village or the little hens in the courtyard to mix time, he will worry about it!
Before leaving, Cai Yong's family was extremely reluctant and sent them five miles away. Xiao Cai Yan was even more tearful, unable to speak, but silently gave Wang Xu the four exquisite small money bags he made. However, at the time of separation, she blushed and gave Wang Xu a bamboo flute made by herself. Although everyone was very surprised that Cai Yan quietly made such a chic gift to Wang Xu, they didn't care, they got along with the same family for three months, Wang Xu got along with her the most, and what was the big deal if my sister gave her brother something! Only Yan Ming gave Wang Xu a big roll of his eyes, but he didn't say anything.
After saying goodbye, Wang Xu walked away along the mountain path. Looking back at the family of three who were standing in the quiet wind, staring at him from afar, Wang Xu's heart suddenly swelled with a throbbing. I secretly made up my mind that no matter what the price is, I must keep his family safe in the future!
Perhaps in order to get rid of the sentimentality of parting, everyone involuntarily sped up the horse. After traveling nearly 200 miles in one day, I arrived at a fishing village on the south side of Taihu Lake before nightfall. From a distance, I saw a shirtless and bare-legged man drying fishing nets on the shore, and rushed over.
The man was about eighteen or nineteen years old, and suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and immediately turned around, and saw Xu Sheng and Yan Ming wearing swords at their waists, and Wang Xu and Dian Wei carrying unknown things on their backs, and the silhouette seemed to be a weapon, so he immediately put his hand on the harpoon vigilantly and looked at it carefully. Looking like that, if it weren't for the fact that a few people were richly dressed and there were female dependents, I was afraid that they would have run away on the spot.
"Phew!" Seeing that the man was a little nervous, Wang Xu restrained the war horse after twenty steps. smiled kindly, and then asked gently: "Strong men don't need to panic, we are just passing by here, we want to see the scenery of Taihu Lake, not bad people!" ”
After speaking, seeing that the man's expression gradually eased, he smiled and continued: "Strong man, dare to ask how far this place is from Fujiao Mountain in the lake?" ”
Hearing Wang Xu ask this, the man obviously believed them more, and immediately smiled: "Not far away, if you are familiar with operating the fast boat, it should be within half a day!" As he spoke, he glanced at Wang Xu and the others curiously: "Isn't it because you want to see the scenery of Fujiao Mountain?" ”
Hearing this, Wang Xu smiled and said, "Hehe! It is with this intention that I have long heard that this Fujiao Mountain is the place where Wu Wangfu sent Wu Zixu to train his troops, and he had a fierce battle with Goujian, the king of Yue, near Fujiao, so he intended to go to see the relics of his predecessors! ”
"Oh! Presumably a few of them are the sons of the traveling scholars! As he spoke, the man smiled at a few people, and then replied with a little pride: "If the princes want to travel to Fujiao Mountain, then they have really found a place, our village is the largest within a radius of a hundred miles, the village is familiar with the most fast boats." ”
"Huh? How do you know that we are born of a noble family? Yan Ming suddenly wondered.
"Huh! We have a lot of people coming and going from the south to the north here, and sometimes we will meet some people who want to go to Fujiao Mountain to play, except for the sons of the scholars who travel like a few, there are only those heroes and wealthy businessmen. But few people know that this Fujiao Mountain is the place where Wu Zixu trained his troops back then, so I guess a few people should have read a lot of books, so they should be the sons of the Shi clan. ”
Hearing this, Wang Xu glanced at this man with some surprise, this person is quite smart! But then he shook his head and smiled: "But your statement is a bit arbitrary, there are so many strange people in the world, and the people of the mountains and wilderness also have erudite and well-informed people!" ”
Hearing this, the man smiled sharply and slyly, and asked: "Since he is such a strange person, his knowledge must be extensive, and it is just around the corner to think that high-ranking officials are just around the corner, so it is not an exaggeration to call him a scholar in advance!" ”
Now Wang Xu was really a little surprised by the man, and he didn't expect to meet such a smart fisherman. But he retorted with a smile: "Then what if this person is an idle cloud and a wild crane, an honest and honest master, and does not want to be an official?" ”
As soon as the words "this ......" came out, the man was suddenly speechless, and he didn't know how to answer. But he was also quite straightforward, and soon smiled calmly: "Childe is wise, but he is a little foolish and thoughtful." ”
Hearing this, Wang Xu had a good impression of this man, thinking that an ordinary fisherman was so smart, and immediately asked: "I don't know the name of the strong man?" ”
"Hehe, contemptible Song Qian!"
"Oh? Song Qian! Wang Xu had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and immediately remembered who Song Qian was, although there was no separate text record in the official history of this person, but he was quite impressed. Because he had met Tai Shici with Sun Ce and others in the first battle of Shentingling, and later participated in the Hefei Battle of Zhang Liaowei Zhen Xiaoyaojin, and then followed Lu Xun to burn the company camp and pursued Liu Bei to the White Emperor City. Although he does not have any great feats that shake the past and the present, he is also a member of the Soochow Legion, and he is also loyal and courageous. In Chen Shou's "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", it appears in the biographies of Tai Shici, Pan Zhang, Sun Quan and Lu Xun, among others.
Thinking of this, Wang Xu's tone became softer, and he immediately smiled: "Song Qian, I think your speech and demeanor are very extraordinary, and you are bound to do something in the future!" ”
"Huh! Childe said with a smile, I'm just an ordinary fisherman, although I have three points of bravery, but where can I do anything. ”
Hearing this, Wang Xu's brain was running rapidly for a moment, and then he smiled and said, "Why don't you go to join the army?" ”
"Hey!" Sighing, Song Qian sighed a little helplessly: "Have you ever thought about it, when the Yellow Turban Rebellion was also a contribution, I also had the idea of making contributions, but it's a pity that my father is seriously ill, if I leave again, how will my parents live?" ”
Hearing that Song Qian's father was sick, Wang Xu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately asked with concern: "I don't know if your father's illness is now well?" ”
"Hey! There was no obvious improvement, we looked for a doctor, but the doctors couldn't say why, just prescribed a prescription to let the good life recuperate! As he spoke, Song Qian's expression darkened, and there was a faint hint of inner grief in his eyes.
"Oh? I also know a little about medical skills, not to mention curing all diseases, but it is a hundred times better than ordinary quacks! Can you let me go and have a look, maybe I can help! ”
Hearing this, Song Qian raised his head violently and stared at Wang Xu with bright eyes. "Is that true?"
"Seriously!" Wang Xu smiled and nodded.
Song Qian was immediately excited, tears flashed in his eyes, this straightforward man almost didn't hesitate, he rushed forward, knelt down at Wang Xu's feet with a "poof", kowtowed: "If the son can save my father's life, although the family is poor, it will be difficult to repay him." But there is a brute force, willing to be a servant, before and after the saddle, there is no complaint! ”
Although Song Qian has spoken politely since he met now, he is neither humble nor arrogant, and his personality is quite bold. But at this moment, he was able to make this move because of filial piety, revealing the suffering hidden in his depths, which made several people quite moved.
Wang Xu immediately turned over and dismounted, and helped Song Qian up heavily: "Don't worry, I will do my best!" As he spoke, he no longer hesitated, and immediately said, "Lead the way!" ”
"Hmm!" Nodding excitedly, Song Qian was not verbose, and immediately rushed back to the house with a few people.
The appearance of Song Qian's home actually doesn't look bad, but when he enters it, he can only be described as a disciple with four walls, and he doesn't need to think about it to know that it is for healing, and everything that can be sold is sold. Walking through the hallway to the back bedroom, Wang Xu suddenly saw a woman in coarse cloth wiping the body of the middle-aged man on the bed!
After a little scrutiny, when he moved his gaze to the naked upper body of the middle-aged man, he was immediately puzzled. Because Song Qian's father's body looks very strong, if he is seriously ill, he should lose weight soon, and where can he see muscles. Looking at his complexion, it looks like there is a problem with the meridians of his body.
After Song Qian went to explain to his mother, Wang Xu smiled at his mother, and did not rush to pay attention to her excited thanks, and walked directly to the middle-aged man who was also a little excited. "Zhuangman, you calm down your mind first, don't get excited, I will give you a detailed diagnosis!"
"Thank you!" The man nodded with some difficulty, and his voice was extremely weak.
Hearing this, Wang Xu didn't say anything, and immediately grabbed the big man's hand to take the pulse. After a while, his face changed, and he turned his head with a wry smile and looked at Song Qian's mother and son: "What doctor did you show you in the first place?" ”
