Chapter 37: Kong Ming Accepts Disciples
Zhuge Liang's examination and teaching of Deng Ai is not very profound, it is mostly some basic things such as "Analects", "Mencius", "Xunzi" and the like, although Deng Ai said that he stuttered, but when it came to learning, this problem was slowed down a lot, and even very slippery.
"That's what you're going to teach?" Liu Yi looked at Zhuge Liang with some surprise, he thought that he would be able to teach more advanced things, who knows that it is just the content and understanding of some books, although he knows little about these books, but he knows that these things are all must-read things for readers in these years, and they belong to the foundation of the foundation.
Zhuge Liang shook his head with a smile when he heard this, and said, "Does Brother Liu want me to teach him the general trend of the world or how to use soldiers?" ”
Liu Yi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then suddenly he took Deng Ai, who had become famous in later generations, to see it, but he ignored that Deng Ai was just in his early tens, and it was the time to lay the foundation, and no one was born powerful.
Thinking about this, Liu Yi nodded and said, "What does Kong Ming think, how is this son?" ”
Zhuge Liang didn't answer, but looked at Mother Deng: "Madam, I don't know who this son learned?" ”
"In the past, the Deng family had a special person who was responsible for teaching reading and literacy, but later his deceased husband passed away, and the family was in the middle of the road, but several books in the family were never sold, and most of them were studied by himself." Mother Deng hurriedly said.
Zhuge Liang nodded silently when he heard this, looked at Deng Ai's eyes, and said with a little appreciation: "This son will have some achievements one day." ”
Seeing the subtleties, it is obvious that Zhuge Liang already has a certain understanding of Deng Ai in the previous Q&A.
"It's a pity that Mr. Decao and Pang Degong are old and no longer give apprentices, otherwise, Liang would like to recommend this son to his two disciples." Zhuge Liang was a little puzzled and said, just because he is high does not mean that he can teach people, Zhuge Liang has just been out of school for a long time.
Mother Deng hurriedly said: "If I can get Mr. Professor, it is already my son's blessing, and I dare not ask for it." "Although it hasn't been for a long time, Zhuge Liang feels good and is a wise man.
Liu Yi also looked at Zhuge Liang and frowned slightly: "But it's because of Xinye's matter?" ”
Zhuge Liang sighed, nodded silently and said: "Don't hide it from Mrs., Liang will be out in the near future, and the future is unpredictable, even Liang is not very sure, if this son follows me, the soldiers will be fierce, and it will be difficult to take care of everything." ”
"This ......" Deng Mu hesitated a little, although she wanted to find a famous teacher for Deng Ai, but Deng Ai was only ten years old after all, and he was only eleven years old after the New Year.
Liu Yi sighed, maybe this is fate, and was about to speak, but Zhuge Liang on the side smiled and said: "But Liang has a plan for one or two, Madam would like to hear it?" ”
"Sir, please." Mother Deng bowed and said.
"Since Brother Liu is going to settle down in Jiangxia, why don't you let this son follow Brother Liu first, although Brother Liu is not a scholar, but he has learned a lot in his chest, let this son follow Brother Liu for a while, and then let this son follow me after Liang has a place to live?" It can be seen that Zhuge Liang really likes Deng Ai and is unwilling to let go.
"Me?" Liu Yi looked at Zhuge Liang in amazement, and said with some amusement: "What can I teach him?" Let him be a craftsman with me? ”
"Dare to ask Brother Liu, if you come to teach this son, how will you teach him?" Zhuge Liang asked without answering.
"This ......" Liu Yi groped his chin and said: "If you talk about the history of Jinglun, I'm afraid that the big baby knows more than I know, if you follow me, I will teach him how to be a person, if he has no talent, at most he will live a mediocre life, but he can always live, if he doesn't know how to be a person, I'm afraid that although the world is big, there is no place to stand." ”
"This kind of truth can be understood by very many people." Zhuge Liang looked at Mother Deng and said with a smile: "Although Brother Liu is limited to his background, his knowledge may not be good, but although his knowledge is good, many things are more important than the knowledge above the book, and Brother Liu's elder lies here." ”
"Brother Yi is also knowledgeable!" Deng Ai was a little dissatisfied and said to Liu Yi: "On the Funiu Mountain, Brother Yi just made a little trick, and let the owner of the village with three hundred thieves and thousands of people. ”
"Oh?" Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Yi with a smile.
"A group of bandits and grass cowards are not capable." Liu Yi smiled a little embarrassedly, if it weren't for his own safety, he wouldn't have made a move at that time, besides, the strategy he used seemed to have been used by Zhuge Liang in the romance, and it was not his own ability, but then he frowned and said: "Is it really that dangerous?" ”
Zhuge Liang is a military advisor after all, Deng Ai follows him, and as a boy, there should be no danger on weekdays.
"Well, if Cao's army moves south, it will be difficult to hold the small city of Xinye." nodded, this is also Zhuge Liang was reluctant at first, but now he is moved, and he still avoids Liu Bei, judging from Liu Bei's current situation, it is really difficult to rise, and people are crushed by the general trend, even if they are smart, it is difficult to win, although there are examples of winning more with less, but either the opponent's main head is not good, or the time and place are just right, besides, Liu Bei's current strength, what is the difference between it and nothing?
Since Zhuge Liang has already thought about assisting Liu Bei, he has naturally considered many issues, including where Liu Bei will choose as a place to settle in the future, and how to use Cao Cao's time to go south to win the greatest benefit capital for Liu Bei.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Liu Bei will come to invite him for the third time, and if Liu Bei feels that it is unnecessary, Zhuge Liang will definitely not run up and run away.
"Sister-in-law, look at ......" Liu Yi looked at Mother Deng, after all, this is someone else's business, do you want your son to become a Chan, and it is impossible for him to force others to put his son here.
"Mr. is a highly educated person, and Mr. Liu's ability has been seen before, but Mr. Liu has not mentioned it, and I can't force it." Mother Deng nodded silently, she couldn't see how capable Zhuge Liang was, but even if he returned to the clan, he could only let Deng Ai study, and he couldn't find any famous teachers, it was better to follow what Zhuge Liang said, not to mention, listening to the meaning of Zhuge Liang's words, Xinye was about to suffer from war, if their mother and son went back, he would inevitably suffer from military disasters in the future, so it was better to follow Liu Yi.
"Don't apprentice yet!" Liu Yi patted the back of Deng Ai's head.
Deng Ai was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed to Zhuge Liang: "Learn...... Student...... Deng...... Deng Ai, worship ...... Meet...... Kindness...... Teacher. ”
Zhuge Liang nodded with satisfaction, and after he gave his salute, he took down a bamboo slip from the bookshelf and handed it to Deng Aidao: "I just asked you, and I saw that you also have a lot of views on the military strategy, this is Wu Zi's art of war, you read it carefully, don't slack off, he will see you again in the future, he will definitely be tested on you, if you don't understand something, you can ask Brother Liu." ”
"Me?" Liu Yi looked at Zhuge Liang with a wry smile, this is really looking up to me, I don't know who Wu Zi is.
"Multi-...... Thanks a lot...... Kindness...... Teacher. Deng Ai respectfully took the book, his expression was a little excited, in this era, books are treasures, didn't I listen to what Deng's mother said before, the Deng family is in the middle of the road, in order to make a living, all the belongings in the family have been sold, but only a few books in the collection, but they are reluctant to sell them anyway.
Just set the name, and in the future, Deng Ai will grow up and become a leader under Liu Bei, which is a good connection.
Liu Yi achieved his goal, immediately stood up, and said to Zhuge Liang: "Since this is the case, it is inconvenient for me to stay longer, if you write the letter, how about letting Deng Ai pick it up tomorrow?" ”
The carriage was sent to Liu Bei, and Liu Yi can only make a new carriage now, otherwise the group will not know when they will arrive in Jiangxia just by walking.
"Yes."
