Chapter 290, Zhang Quan's ambition

"Zi said: It is not pleasant to learn and learn, and it is also pleasant to have friends from afar..."

A group of three or five-year-old children are sitting quietly on a small stool, looking at a high platform in front of them with their eyes, Cai Yan, who is wearing a plain white dress, is holding a book and reading aloud, the pleasant and beautiful sound, like the cry of the yellow bird in the forest, is crisp and beautiful, like a flowing spring, slowly moistening the heart of every child.

Every child sat upright, his eyes did not blink, and he listened very seriously, and in his spare time, Cai Yan gathered all the children in Dong Yi's school family together to teach them literacy, etiquette, calligraphy and painting... In this regard, Dong Yi not only did not stop it, but raised his hands in favor, and imitated the schools of later generations, opened academies everywhere, recruited talented masters and literati to teach the children in the county, and even the desks and benches, because of the strong advocacy of Dong Yi, a traverser, were soon popularized in several towns near Anyi.

When Wannian and Bai'er were in Xiangfu, they were each other's little partners, and when they came to Hedong, the two of them were like cheerful butterflies, in addition to following Cai Yan to learn some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, in their spare time, they often wandered around Anyi City together, and Wannian, who was originally slightly dull and melancholy, gradually changed his temperament in just over a month, and his face always had a smile from time to time.

Cai Yan explained the "Analects" to the children on the stage, and the two also carried a small stool below to listen carefully, and Wan Nian even picked up the pen and ink from time to time and lay on the bookcase to write and draw. Looks. Very attentive.

With the sound of brisk footsteps. Looking at the sturdy and upright figure that came over, Cai Yan's eyebrows suddenly appeared with sweet joy.

"Uncle, what did you bring me something delicious?" Xiaobai turned his head and saw Dong Yi, like a rabbit, swooped up and ran to Dong Yi, threw himself into Dong Yi's arms, pouted and begged as if coquettishly.

The other children were not only not afraid of Dong Yi, but were extremely kind. One by one, they all gathered around excitedly, Cai Yan glanced at Dong Yi as if he was fighting, so he had to wave his hand and said, "That's all for today, go back and review it well, and I will check your homework tomorrow." ”

Dong Yi waved his hand behind him, Jin Biao came to the front with a few full packages, and the children suddenly pounced on them like little tigers.

These children are all children of generals at all levels under Dong Yi's command, and Dong Yi never behaves in front of them. even often plays with the children, and the children are naturally not afraid of Dong Yi.

"Quan'er. How's the schoolwork going? ”

"Father..."

Zhang Quan, who is only five years old, has been depressed since the death of his father Zhang Xiu, and often stays alone by himself, and does not play with other partners, Dong Yi knew, and immediately proposed to accept Zhang Quan as a righteous son, and took their mother and son family to the house, and let Zhang Quan be with other children all day long, gradually, Zhang Quan's lonely personality has also changed a lot, but, the only headache is that this guy has no interest in literacy and reading, and has taken classes for nearly a month, and can remember the words, Adding up to a hand can be counted, Dong Yi didn't care too much about it, but found that this kid was very interested in dancing knives and sticks, which made Dong Yi very happy, worthy of being Zhang Xiu's child, and inherited the same competitive personality as his father in his life.

"Father-in-law, when will I learn martial arts?" Hugging Dong Yi's thigh, Zhang Quan looked up at Dong Yi with an urgent face, his dark eyes flashing with a burning and hopeful gaze.

"I can't help it." Dong Yi was speechless for a while, this guy, at the beginning of the period, begged him to join the army all day long, and then there was no way, Dong Yi told him that he was under the age of fifteen and could not join the army, so Zhang Quan changed the requirement to practice martial arts, as soon as they met, they pestered Dong Yi, Dong Yi was angry and had no choice, and casually threw him a copy of "The Art of War" and said that when the words on it were known, he would find him a master to teach martial arts, I thought that the little guy would be full of fighting spirit and read hard, but the result was still beyond Dong Yi's expectations, after more than ten days, This guy was stunned and only knew the four words Sun Tzu's Art of War, and couldn't remember the rest.

"Learn martial arts first, you can't just have determination." Dong Yi shook his head and sighed deliberately.

"Then what more?" Zhang Quan asked puzzled, pouting his head.

"Like your father, you have to have the courage to not be afraid of life and death."

"Father-in-law, I'm not afraid of anything, even if it's a big wolf dog raised in the yard, I dare to beat it, and when I learn martial arts and go to the battlefield, I'll definitely be like my father, and I will never back down." As soon as he raised his father, Zhang Quan was extremely excited, gritting his teeth and waving his fists and glaring at him, which made Dong Yi lose his mind for a while, and he couldn't help but think of Zhang Xiu's towering and upright figure in his mind.

"Cut, that's my family's general has been chained, of course you're not afraid, if you spread it, you'll definitely be scared to death." Dong Bai held his little hands behind his back, looking like a little adult, and deliberately walked around Zhang Quan a few times, teasing him disdainfully.

"Hmph, do you want to try, my fist is so powerful, I can definitely knock it down with one punch." Zhang Quan waved his immature little fist unconvinced, holding his chest high, looking like a man.

"Shi A..." Dong Yi nodded and shouted casually behind him.

"My lord." Shi Ah hurriedly agreed and walked quickly closer.

"I remember that there is a barren mountain not far from the city, go, bring Quan'er to the mountain, and let him stay there alone tonight, I want to see how bold he is?"

"Huh?" Dong Yi's merciless words made everyone stunned, throwing a five-year-old child into the mountains at night, isn't the lord afraid that the child will be eaten by wolves?

"I'll go." Zhang Quan was stubborn and agreed without thinking about it.

Dong Yi waved his hand at Shi A, Shi A hurriedly leaned over to Dong Yi, Dong Yi whispered a few words in Shi A's ear, Shi A suddenly realized, and immediately nodded and agreed to take Xiao Zhang Quan out of the Taishou Mansion.

"Yilang, what are you? How old is the child, let him go to the mountains for the night at such a young age, Quan'er will definitely be frightened. Cai Yan hurriedly walked over to dissuade him.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Dong Yi smiled, and didn't explain too much, now that the big war is imminent, after accompanying everyone for a while, Dong Yi gathered all the generals and ministers together that night, Xu Chu stood motionless outside the door like an iron tower, until the dawn of the sky, the rising sun, Xu Huang and others walked out of Dong Yi's study one after another.
