Chapter 104: Enemy road is narrow
Chapter 104
As the saying goes: The poor are rich and the military is rich.
A child from a poor family can study literature, but he can hang his head on a beam and awl and pierce his stock, he can use the firefly to reflect the snow, chisel the wall to borrow light, and he can practice calligraphy with fine sand and willow branches. Walking to the capital to enter the examination room, you can expect to get ahead.
But if you want to practice martial arts, you have to eat well and eat well before you have the strength to draw a bow and lift a thousand jins; you have to spend money to buy weapons—such as bows and arrows are consumables, which must be purchased frequently; you have to spend a lot of money to buy weapons Martial arts, good martial arts are hard to find, so the training of martial arts is often several times or even dozens of times that of the master. Also higher.
If it weren't for the meat cake workshop and Fengchun Medical Center adding income to the mansion, it would be difficult to support the food and clothing of the mansion by relying on the original two shops and one farm, how could it be able to support two martial artists. A master who can teach the Seven Classics is only more expensive than a martial artist.
No matter how expensive is, you have to ask for the future of your second brother. Therefore, after Jiang Qiu arrived, Jiang Song asked him kindly, "As long as one has the ability and patience, nothing else is a problem."
"Although the old slave is a small official in the border city army, he was full of ambitions when he was young, and read the seven martial arts classics." Jiang Qiumao then recommended himself, "Although Kang'an City Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, there must be people who are more proficient in this way than the old slave, but no one I know the second master's spleen better than the old slave. If you don't give up, the old slave wants to lick his face and ask for this job."
Jiang Song was stunned at first, but with his knowledge of Jiang Qiu in the past six months, he knew that if he didn't have full confidence, he would not say such a thing. It couldn't be better.
Jiang Song hurriedly stood up and bowed his hands, sincerely thanking him, "If Uncle Qiu is willing to teach, Jiang Song can't ask for it. The second brother's knowledge will be entrusted to you."
Jiang Qiu bowed again and said solemnly, "Second Master has the kindness of life for us, and what this old slave does is hard to repay one of the ten thousand."
Jiang Song helped Jiang Qiu up and said with sincerity, "It's a blessing for the second brother to get Uncle Qiu's full help."
Jiang Qiu smiled and said nothing. If it really counts, it is a blessing for the young master to meet Jiang Erye.
If there is no second master Jiang, after Chengkong rescued the young master, Ren Jiangqiu would not be able to arrange such a decent and unrelated identity for the young master in Kang'an City. .
What is even more rare is that Erye Jiang really treated the young master as his own son after he brought him back to the mansion. The young master was able to escape from the nightmare of the tragic death of the general's wife so quickly. Jiang Qiu is really grateful to Jiang Erye, so no matter how many problems Jiang Erye has, Jiang Qiu recognizes it and really wants to help him.
Hearing that Jiang Qiu was going to teach the second master to read, the people in the house were very curious.
Jiang Qiu taught Jiang Erye the seven martial arts classics. Unlike ordinary teachers, he first asked students to memorize the contents of the classics by rote, and then explained them slowly. He arranged the study to look like a Tingshu tea house, with a ruler and a paper fan on his table, and tea and snacks on the opposite table for the second master to use.
The teaching of scriptures is changed to listening to books, which is fresh and interesting. Not only Jiang Erye was very interested, but Jiang Ling, Jiang Liu, and Jiang Muyan also listened, and later, everyone in the Fuzhong came to listen. When there were too many people to put them in the room, Jiang Qiu simply moved the table and chairs to the courtyard to teach. Mrs. Jiang sat and listened with her children and grandchildren, while the aunt and servants in the house stood and listened. After discussing with great interest, the deserted Jiang family finally became lively.
Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang, who sent their mother to Shaoxing Prefecture, also joined the listening team when they returned. They heard that on the 20th of the first lunar month, Guozijian and Qingjin Academy opened.
Jiang Dalang was reluctant to go to the Guozijian to study, Jiang Song was reluctant to return to the yamen as an official, and Jiang Pinglan and his mother were reluctant to return to Le County.
But there are feasts in the world, Jiang Song can only go to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites as an official, Jiang Dalang also reluctantly went to Guozijian, Jiang Ling, Jiang Erlang and Jiang Sanlang went to Qingjin Academy to study, Jiang Erye sent his sister, nephew and niece back to Le County, The girls from the Jiang family are also preparing to go to the Wang family to learn the piano.
The second master is gone, Uncle Qiu doesn't talk about books, and the people in the house are very disappointed.
At this time, the Wang family sent a message: Mrs. Yazheng has no spare time after the new year, so she cannot go to the Wang family to teach the piano!
Mrs. Jiang regretted that Jiang Muzheng and Jiang Muyan were reluctant to give up, Jiang Mujin was secretly having fun, but Jiang Liu, who eavesdropped on the corner, understood that it must be Kong Quanwu's fault.
Although he doesn't know how he did it, after Jiang Liu and his sister went to their grandmother's house, they found that the grandmother was very dissatisfied with Mrs. Yazheng, and would definitely not ask her to teach the piano again.
After returning from grandma's house, the four sisters of the Jiang family got together to discuss what to do.
Jiang Muzheng, who has always been taciturn, took the initiative to speak, "Uncle Qiu said: Mountains don't turn waters. According to the current situation, Mrs. Yazheng is the mountains, and we are the waters. Since we can't go to the Wang's house, we will take the initiative to go to the door to ask Mrs. Sanmei. , what do you say?"
"Second sister is quite right. It is said in "Sun Tzu: Conspiracy": 'Know yourself and the enemy, and you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; know yourself without knowing the enemy, one victory and one loss; if you do not know the enemy and yourself, you will be imperiled in every battle'. Now we only know ourselves, I don't know Mrs. Yazheng's side, you should take the initiative to send troops to spy on the details." Jiang Muyan said, turning to look at her sister.
After listening to the martial arts scriptures for a few days, the sisters are almost becoming strategists. Jiang Liu gave two thumbs up, "Okay."
Jiang Mujin, who was reluctant to play the piano, was very happy to go out with her sisters, "Let's go talk to grandma?"
Hearing that the four sisters were going to visit Mrs. Yazheng in Dongshi, Mrs. Jiang was very pleased, "Grandma will take you there. If Mrs. agrees, it is your good fortune. If Mrs. doesn't, grandmother will find a piano teacher next to you to teach you how to play the piano. "
"Thank you for your ancestors." In order to match Jiang Liu's speed of speech, the four of them shouted word by word, and everyone in the room laughed.
Mrs. Yazheng lived outside the city, and usually closed her door to thank guests. When they found out that Mrs. Yazheng was at the Yaguan Music Store in Dongshi, the Jiang family immediately drove there.
Mrs. Jiang first thanked Mrs. Yazheng for teaching her granddaughters years ago, and said that the granddaughters were disappointed that they could not continue to learn the piano with her, and finally said, "I know that my wife is busy, but the children really can't bear my wife, so I am shy. Here comes this old face. I don’t dare to harass Madam every day. If you have time, can you give some pointers to these stupid granddaughters?”
From Mrs. Jiang's mouth, Mrs. Yazheng learned the excuse that the Wang family used for not letting her teach the piano. She smiled and said, "This year is indeed a lot busier than last year. It is difficult for Yazheng to go to the house to teach the piano every day. If you don't dislike Yazheng's rude piano shop and allow the girls to go out, Yazheng can spare three times every ten days. Today, continue to teach the girls to play the piano."
Yeah! Whether they want to continue learning the piano, or want to take the opportunity to go out and play, the little sisters of the Jiang family look at their grandmother eagerly.
Mrs. Jiang heard Mrs. Yazheng's words and understood that she and the Wang family should have had a quarrel, so she couldn't go to teach the piano. The granddaughters can justifiably learn the piano without going to the Wang family. Of course Mrs. Jiang is happy.
After the granddaughters thanked Mrs. Yazheng, Mrs. Jiang asked the old lady to take them down, and she stayed to discuss with Mrs.
After the little sisters of the Jiang family went downstairs, before they had time to celebrate, they saw the old lady and the three sisters of the Meng family come in surrounded by the maid.
