Chapter 273 Going out to look for herbs
Wu Yuqi escorted him out and quickly got on a carriage heading south, going straight to Hanzhong via the Ziwu Valley.
When they returned to Nanzheng's home, the head woman was already there. She hugged him without hesitation and sobbed, blaming Zhao Yulin for not taking care of himself.
He quickly signaled Yuqi to help pull the headmaster's daughter into the house.
After a day's rest, the two of them practiced in seclusion.
He got angry on the first night, and the headmistress opened the gate and let him absorb the power. Zhao Yulin asked the headmistress if she thought he was a robber?
If he does this again, he would rather die than practice.
The head lady smiled and said that he was a thief who had stolen people's hearts.
The two women smiled and said that he was taking advantage of the situation but was still ungrateful.
Zhao Yulin was completely speechless. He felt extremely guilty for destroying the headmaster's daughter, so how could he have the nerve to absorb her power?
The head lady was delighted and told them not to say anything too sentimental and to match them up with the right person.
He then drew out two swords and wanted to practice Tai Chi with him. Soon the two of them were flying up and down in the yard like fairies.
Wu Yuqi generously acted as the kitchen supervisor and prepared a lot of delicious dishes for them to taste. They practiced again at night, and the two of them focused on their work. His body began to recover day by day.
The head girl would go out early in the morning to look for wild herbs and boil them for him to drink. She would then accompany him to practice in the evening. After two weeks, Zhao Yulin felt that his body had recovered.
After the headmistress carefully felt his pulse, she was extremely delighted and asked him to practice for another night to consolidate his skills.
That night, the woman changed into a refreshing girl's outfit, just like when she accompanied him to practice martial arts in Zhenwu Mountain. As soon as she entered the door, she said that she had been pregnant for more than half a month, but her brother had never hugged her properly.
Zhao Yulin's heart melted, and he gently took the woman into his arms. The head woman kissed him and whispered that she wanted to be a woman again.
He had already understood what was meant by those burning eyes, and let the head girl push him down...
The next day, when Zhao Yulin woke up, it was Yuqi who was taking care of him.
Zhao Yulin asked a little embarrassedly, "Where are the people?"
Running away again?
Wu Yuqi said with a smile, "The girl has given everything to me, so why don't you let her go?"
Zhao Yulin rolled his eyes at her and remained silent.
After the storm last night, the headmistress suddenly pressed his sleepiness point and forced him to pass on his skills, then asked Wu Yuqi to look after Zhao Yulin.
Yuqi said thoughtfully that the leader's daughter was truly a rare woman in the world, who only cared about protecting her brother and had no other desires.
When Zhao Yulin got up, his eyes were dull and he looked like a fool.
Wu Yuqi looked at the dazed man and asked what was wrong. He had been hugging her all day. Wasn't he tired of smelling the head girl's scent? As she spoke, she sent Zhao Guangyuan to his arms and told him to pick him up, nagging him that he was well now, but why didn't he do something?
Zhao Yulin was strolling in the yard with his son in his arms. It was a hot summer day and his son was particularly considerate of his father and fell asleep in a short while.
The guard happily led Zhao Yujiang in, saying that the second young master had come several times.
He invited his second brother to the pavilion for tea. Zhao Yujiang asked him with concern where he was injured and whether he was okay.
Zhao Yulin said with a smile that it was a recurrence of an old injury, but it has already healed.
Zhao Yujiang said that the whole country was celebrating, but his academy was not happy.
He asked what happened?
Zhao Yujiang told him that the Tianjun army was selecting talents from various major academies, and a group from their academy also went. Two of them died for their country in the battle of Guyuan.
One of them was the squadron's supervisor, fighting in the sky with his brother.
Zhao Yulin immediately thought of the handsome young military supervisor who insisted on his principle and did not allow the air force to take off. He said that they were all our heroes, and asked his brother to build a statue for the two martyrs in the academy. They were the pioneers of the Song Dynasty Air Force, and he would go to the academy to see them tomorrow.
Zhao Yujiang was touched to hear that his brother cared so much about the academy. He told him that sacrifice was not a terrible thing, as more and more young men were writing letters in blood swearing to join the army and serve their country.
Zhao Yulin said that the spirit is commendable, but the method is not advisable and is too harmful to the body.
The next day, he and Wu Yuqi went to Nanzheng Academy together. Zhao Yujiang's two children were delighted to see him. They kept calling him "Third Uncle, Third Uncle". Third Uncle was a great hero in their hearts.
Zhao Yulin went to present flowers to the two martyrs and observed a moment of silence. A group of girls nearby were all sad.
This scene suddenly reminded him of the theme song of a famous movie in later generations, so he asked to go to the piano room to take a look.
The crowd didn't know what he meant, but they quickly led him over.
Zhao Yulin quickly drew Douban musical notation on the laid out Zhenba paper, and then filled in the lyrics. A new version of "Never Gone" was created.
He had handed the five-line score to Cuiping Academy a few years ago, and the music teacher of Nanzheng Academy came from Cuiping Academy. Before Zhao Yulin finished writing the lyrics, the teacher and the students were already humming.
Zhao Yulin told everyone that this song is about a girl telling the story of our young talents who actively joined the Space Army and worked hard to serve the country.
He took a huqin from a student, tested its sound, and slowly played it. After one play, everyone could sing it.
Zhao Yulin played it twice in succession, with tears on his face. He waved his sleeves to wipe away his tears, smiled faintly, returned the erhu to the student, and said goodbye.
Zhao Yulin's Never Say Die was published in Hanshui Morning News the next day. Wu Yuqi came to him humming a tune while holding the newspaper, while Zhao Yulin was still dozing off on the recliner.
The woman said that this song seemed to be written for the female leader.
Doesn’t she take Bai Ling to pick herbs for her brother every morning?
Zhao Yulin said that writing songs is just making up stories, and you just make up whatever is in your mind.
Wu Yuqi said with a smile, "So, my brother has his heart set on the leader's daughter. So, what about me?"
Zhao Yulin casually said that he couldn't take it back, so he had to be thick-skinned. He pulled Yuqi to him and said that he was just pretending.
As soon as his song was published in the newspaper, it flew everywhere like a hot air balloon, became a favorite of young boys and girls, and quickly became widely sung.
Especially those young students, they were humming the Third Young Master's "No Questions West" while walking.
The students of Nanzheng Academy are even more proud. When they get together, they always hold their heads high and say that "No Questions West and East" is a song written for them by the Third Young Master. The students of Cuiping Academy also say that the song was written for them by the Third Young Master. Their seniors also joined the First Squadron of the Heavenly Army and fought side by side with the Third Young Master.
Not only that, in the taverns in Chengdu and other major cities, men would drink and hum "Wu Wen Xi Dong" softly, praising the Third Young Master as a rare genius. They said only the Third Young Master could write such a noble and profound masterpiece.
After the young masters entered the brothel and sat down, they immediately waved their hands and threw out a gold ingot and shouted, asking the head performer to sing "Wu Wen Xi Dong".
The song quickly spread throughout the cities, villages, and streets.
Zhao Yulin had no idea that he just followed his heart and copied an interlude, which would ignite the musical cells of the people of the Song Dynasty.
This trend is still expanding. The most direct impact is that young students are actively signing up to join the army, taking up arms, and even applying to become members of the Divine Power Army.
On Mount Emei, Bai Ling held the newspaper and pouted her lips and said: "It was clearly written by the Third Young Master for our leader, but he insisted that it was written for the soldiers of the Heavenly Army. Who has ever picked dewy herbs for the Third Young Master, huh?"
"Only our leader is worthy."
The head girl was very happy humming a tune while drinking tea, and said with a smile, "Why get angry with those young people? Brother Yulin also went to heaven to fight, he is also a celestial soldier. Go and urge the little junior sister to practice more. If you can't pass this test of the master, you are not allowed to go down the mountain to join the Shenwei Army."
Bai Ling said "hmm", put down the newspaper and left. The headwoman picked up the newspaper with a smile on her face and read it again and again. The music of Wuwen Xidong lingered on the top of Xiushan Mountain intermittently like heavenly music.
In a white tent on the prairie, Hubili's sister, Princess Hulan, was also reading a song written by the Third Young Master with a newspaper.
At a young age, the Khan of the grassland ordered this girl to marry and go to the bitter cold land on the shores of Lake Baikal, but she refused resolutely.
The little girl had been studying Chinese since she was young, and she yearned for the advanced and civilized life in Han areas. When she heard the news, she wanted to run away from her marriage, and she took her guards and fled to Guanzhong. After a lot of trouble, Hubili found Hulan and secretly brought him back to his fiefdom and hid him.
Today, the little girl was tempted again when she saw the newspaper in Guanzhong.
Last time, the Third Young Master held her in his arms, but she didn't know his true face and got willful and threw a tantrum, so she broke free from the Third Young Master's arms. After that, she never .
Now, I heard that the third young master defeated his brother's army of hundreds of thousands that led to the southern expedition. He is truly a great hero.
The hug that the Third Young Master gave her at the foot of the Qinling Mountains in Guanzhong had long been engraved in her mind. She sang "Ask the West" with a slightly flushed face. She felt that the Third Young Master understood girls so well that he could write such heavenly music.
It would be a lifelong regret if you don't find such a good brother to be your man.
The little girl started her plan to escape from the grassland again.
The Mid-Autumn Festival was coming, and Zhao Yulin celebrated the festival with his brother Zhao Yujiang's family in Nanzheng. After the meal, he said that he had fully recovered and was about to go to Chengdu.
His brother also knew that his brother had a lot of things to do, so he asked him to bring the two nephews back to Yibin to see the elderly.
He asked Zhao Yujiang, don't you plan to go back?
Zhao Yujiang simply said that he was busy here. This year, the prefect Gao asked him to set up provincial schools in three new states, and he had to take care of all the affairs.
Zhao Yulin already knew that his father, the old scholar, thought that his second brother was too quiet and stupid, and scolded him the most fiercely, and his second brother was very rebellious. Now that he was doing well in Hanzhong and was away from the old scholar, he had a quiet and free life, and he didn't want to go back.
Zhao Yulin was unable to persuade them for a moment, and the table suddenly fell silent.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Wu Yuqi smiled and said to her sister-in-law that the wine shop in Guanzhong had distributed the profits, and Uncle Chen left them all to our brother. It was useless now, so the three thousand taels were left to the second sister-in-law to find a house by the Han River.
Zhao Yujiang and his wife immediately declined.
He said that money is meant to be spent, and he and his second brother spend it the same way. His second brother has lived in Hanzhong for so many years and still lives in the prefecture school, so he also thinks he has his own home.
Zhao Yujiang then stopped refusing, and his sister-in-law immediately said happily that she thanked her uncle.
