Chapter 5

Jiang Yansi and his grandfather Jiang Jiliang have a deep relationship, and this relationship between grandparents and grandchildren may have started from the night when the python descended to earth.

Except for the time when Jiang Yansi went to school, most of the rest of the time was spent in his grandfather's room. Only when he gets along with Jiang Jiliang can Jiang Yansi be willing to speak freely, and he no longer looks like a dumb person.

Jiang Jiliang's temper is strikingly similar to that of the child, which is one of the reasons why there is no estrangement between the pair of grandchildren, so that Jiang Jiliang always thinks that he is coaxing the child to play, but Jiang Yansi refutes that he is making his grandfather happy.

Over time, imperceptibly, Jiang Yansi learned a lot of principles and attitudes from his grandfather, and also learned a frugal style of life. Jiang Jiliang once told him a story that left a deep impression on Jiang Yansi's mind.

When Jiang Jiliang was young, he studied in the Jiang ancestral hall, and he had to get up before dawn every day, and his father was heartbroken for his son, so he gave him 100 yuan pocket money, but after four months, when his father asked about the 100 yuan, Jiang Jiliang took out 98 ...... from his pocket.

Jiang Jiliang told Jiang Yansi this story more than once, and there was always a proud smile on his face. He also always warned Jiang Yansi that his family is now wealthy, but he should not forget the hardships of his ancestors, he cannot enjoy all the blessings, and he cannot exhaust the wealth; Be diligent and persistent, and get up early in the morning; Be frugal, don't pay attention to food and clothing.

More importantly, Jiang Jiliang constantly told Jiang Yansi that men should have a rigid and tolerant bearing, and he should firmly remember the words loyalty and righteousness.

This year, Jiang Yansi's mother Chen successfully gave birth to a son. Named Jiang Yanzhao. The Chen family is also a beautiful girl, married into the Jiang family, and once had the dream of being an official's wife. originally expected her husband to be nominated for the gold list, but Jiang Fuquan completely disappointed her.

Now, the birth of her second son has rekindled hope in her heart, and two sons are always more hopeful than one.

And during her confinement, the sensible Jiang Yansi waited diligently on his mother.

When his mother wanted to wash his hands, he ran to the basin to draw water. Mother is going out. So he ran ahead and lifted the curtain ...... the door.

It stands to reason that if a mother can give up such a child who knows how to feel heartache for her parents, she should be satisfied a long time ago. But Chen's is not ordinary, and her expectations for Jiang Yansi are much higher than others.

Chen was angry with Jiang Yansi, which Jiang Yansi never expected, like a lightning flash in a sunny day. He had no idea what he was wrong.

Chen did not want Jiang Yansi to become an incompetent person who was old under the household. In the past few days, Jiang Yansi's actions have made her quite dissatisfied, since ancient times, it has been said that loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, Jiang Yansi is young, and he does not work learning, but always walks around in front of her, what can he do when he grows up, and today he is like this when I see that I am unable to move. In the future, if I am really bedridden, will he still have to wait all day at the sickbed without thinking of making progress?

That's why. Chen reprimanded Jiang Yansi thoughtlessly, preventing Jiang Yansi from following her anymore.

In a blink of an eye, Jiang Yansi was already eight years old, not only finished reading the Four Books, Five Classics and other Confucian classics, but also began to learn to compose poems and articles. In addition, calligraphy has also taken a slight lead. It's just that the personality has become more introverted and at the same time stubborn and competitive.

At this time, his father Jiang Fuquan gave him a topic, "Bohan, now that you have a younger brother, you can write an article with the title of Brother Yiyi for me to see, and you can also express your brotherly love." ”

Jiang Yansi listened, happily ordered the pen, and waved it. The "Brother Yiyi" he wrote is a prose, not long, probably to say that we should inherit the teachings of the order, love brothers like siblings, and support the family with filial piety and friendship.

Jiang Fuquan was unexpectedly satisfied.

This year, Jiang Yansi was fourteen years old, and his father Jiang Fuquan took him to train Xiangyong.

Since Baili Wuji made his fortune as a township soldier, Badong has the habit of training the township bravery, and the Zhu and Jiang families have always been the leaders of the township bravery, Jiang Fuquan has always been shrewd and capable, and Jiang Jiliang is too old, so the matter was handed over to Jiang Fuquan to be responsible.

On the way, Jiang Yansi asked his father: "Father, Badong has always been peaceful, why do you still need to train Xiangyong?" ”

Jiang Fuquan said: "Although Badong is peaceful, but this place borders the Han State, the Han State was first established, there were wars everywhere, some people did not have food and clothing, so they became robbers, and there were also remnants of bandits who escaped into Badong, so it is better to be careful." ”

"I heard grandpa say that the king of Chu was also born in Badong and started from his hometown?"

"This is, I think back then, the King of Chu gave Badong a lot of blessings." Jiang Fuquan smiled and patted Jiang Yansi lightly on the shoulder, this child has grown up, he should be allowed to go to a higher institution to study, but his father has not yet established a good relationship, if he can be sent to Tanzhou Erudite Academy, then the Jiang family is really expected to be revitalized.

In Jiang Yansi's impression, robbers should be some blue-faced fanged, fierce monsters, killing people whenever they meet, looting everywhere, and those straightforward people are completely different things, from the people to robbers, this is simply an incredible thing. His strong curiosity led him to ask again: "Father, the people are cultivators, and the robbers are murderers, and they have nothing to do with it, why do you say that the people have become robbers?" Don't they know that robbers are troublemakers? ”

Jiang Fuquan was a little speechless, he didn't want to talk to Jiang Yansi about the ugliness of human nature, and he didn't want to comment on political affairs in vain, so he could only say perfunctorily: "Of course they know, or how to say that it is Diao Min." They don't want to serve the court and honestly farm the land, but they loot and burn everywhere, and sooner or later they will be killed. ”

"Do we have this kind of people in Padang?"

"Is this the case, since we came out of the king of Chu, the children of the people have a way out, no matter how bad it is, we will join the army, and we will not fall into the grass."

"Then why do grandpa and father still train Xiangyong?"

"Bohan, this heart of harm is indispensable, and the heart of defense is indispensable. Although Padang is peaceful, but my father also said that Padang borders the Han Kingdom, and it is guaranteed that there will be robbers and bandits who have entered Padang, and there are villagers who are brave, and it is still very effective to deal with some robbers and bandits. ”

"Father, Yan Hei heard that the King of Chu treats the children of Badong well, and he will accept the children of Badong to serve in the army every few years, I don't know if Yan Hei can also go to the army, maybe he can also make some achievements."

Jiang Fuquan was taken aback, this is not a joke, although the treatment of the army is good, but the Jiang family is rich, and it is not enough to work in the army. If his father Jiang Jiliang heard this, he would not be able to say that he would also suffer from it. (To be continued......)
