I am a Big Villain

The clan had been notified about the family recognition, and the clan leader had readily agreed to the matter. When Yan Yu found out, there was no room for objection.

He didn't know that it was Yan Chu who suggested this. He only knew that his parents took the initiative to ask his grandparents for this request. Even if he was angry, he couldn't go to that ignorant couple and tell them that they had done it. What a mistake.

After accepting Fu Zhenzhen as their godmother, Old Man Yan and his wife were neither happy nor unhappy. The person in the second room was very happy, but the person in the first room was gloomy and couldn't even pretend to be happy.

Yan Yi's expression at this time was not conspicuous at all in the crowd of people in the main room. Liu Fuchun and Yan Changxue looked at their youngest son's expression and felt that this son was caring to them. They thought of going together and did not care about their own sadness. , but had to comfort his younger son.

"Er Bao, don't be angry. Even if Fu Zhenzhen isn't there, it can be someone else. Don't worry, no one can surpass you and your eldest brother in this family. Even if that little brat Yan Chu becomes successful, I'll let him He works hard to earn money for us."

Liu Fuchun's words were harsh, but in fact, for a while, she couldn't think of any way to deal with Yan Chu. She originally thought that Fu Zhenzhen was the biggest handle, but now Fu Zhenzhen can't move. The other women, Yan Chu, are not that stupid and can easily Can be used.

These words were just words she comforted her youngest son.

After listening to Liu Fuchun's words, Yan Yi frowned and suddenly felt that it was good to be like this now, at least he didn't have to worry about what happened after it happened.

I feel guilty towards Fu Zhenzhen, so finding a good husband for her in this life can be regarded as compensation. As for Fu Yugui, it is good that he is a hot new general in the army, but in the officialdom, there are differences between civil and military affairs, and "he" only needs to Just like in the previous life, he would get the top prize and get his son-in-law at the bottom of the ranking. If there was no princess, there would be other scholarly families, and young ladies with knowledge of books and etiquette could marry him.

Thinking about it this way, Yan Yi suddenly had nothing to worry about.

Seeing their son's appearance, Liu Fuchun and Yan Changxue thought that their persuasion had worked, and smiles immediately appeared on their faces.

"Let's ignore others for now. In a short while, it will be the day when the hospital examination begins. We must be careful about food, clothing, and accommodation during these days. We must not make any mistakes again after entering the examination room."

The couple were both proud when Yan Yu admitted them to a county clerk in the second year. Just like Yan Chu, wasn't the county clerk a sure-shot scholar? Due to various accidents, Yan Yu could not finish a set of papers smoothly. If he did not complete the exam, he would naturally have no grades. Without grades, even if there is an unspoken rule that the county chief is a scholar, it does not work.

I gave hope but was disappointed again and again.

If there were no results for Yan Yu, the county chief criminal officer, perhaps the couple would have given up just like they did with Yan Yin's eldest son. But even if Yan Yu was admitted to the county criminal chief, there was another one who was also the county criminal chief, and now It was easier said than done for the couple to give up because of the example of Yan Chu, who was a master of civil engineering.

Over the years, the money provided by the family has become less and less. In order to allow this son to continue his studies, and the eldest son in front of him who always refused to give up studying as a scholar, the family's savings in the early years have almost bottomed out.

Yan Changxue's salary was quite high, but he couldn't afford to spend it like that. For this reason, he secretly started to make false accounts. He was both the shopkeeper of the tavern and the accountant. It was not difficult to make an account book that could fool the people above to check.

In the past two or three years, he has cheated his employer with dozens of taels of money. According to the criminal law of the Jin Dynasty, if he is found out, he will have his family confiscated and his family will be confiscated for ten years.

Yan Changxue had to fight his last battle. Yan Yu, the son he had high hopes for, had to succeed even if he didn't succeed.

"It doesn't make sense. Erbao eats and drinks the same as Dabao before every exam. How come Dabao can finish the exam smoothly every time, but Xiaobao can't."

Yan Changxue sighed, sometimes he couldn't help but think in his heart, it would be great if the eldest son and the youngest son could change.

After all, the eldest son failed the exam countless times, and the younger son was delayed by these illnesses. He is a child who has passed the exam. Isn't it easy to take the college exam?

If it hadn't been delayed by those several illnesses, perhaps the second family would not be the most prosperous now.

Yan Changxue sighed, and Yan Yu didn't think deeply about it.

Before, he suspected that the remaining soul of the original body was causing trouble, but after thinking about it carefully, he had been possessing the other person's body for so long and there had never been any problems.

People at that time believed deeply in ghosts and gods, and Yan Yi was no exception. Especially after he returned to his nine-year-old self, he became even more convinced that there really were demons and ghosts in this world, as well as the existence of gods and Buddhas all over the sky. This was why he doubted his previous self. Physical illness is the cause of ghosts and ghosts in the other party.

However, after asking for so many talismans several times in succession and visiting so many popular temples, Yan Yu felt that he should change his mind.

Now, he has his own suspects.

****

"Er Bao, eat it while it's hot."

Liu Fuchun was worried about this college examination and came with Yan Changxue.

The scholar's daughter from Yan's family also came with her. The family rented a small courtyard. The rent for two or three days was not cheap, costing a full two hundred yuan. However, it was much more cost-effective than staying in an inn. .

"These are all made by your sister-in-law, and they are exactly the same as what your elder brother eats. Just now, my mother watched your elder brother finish eating. Nothing will happen, so you can eat without worry."

Liu Fuchun was really afraid of her son's habit of getting into trouble just before exams. This time, she had full control over what his son ate, wore, and drank. She didn't believe that his son could get into trouble in this way.

"Mom, you leave them here. I'll eat them after I finish sorting these books. By the way, I want to drink tea. Could you please make me a cup of hot tea? The tea in the room has already cooled down."

After listening to his son's words, Liu Fuchun touched the teapot in the room, and it was indeed ice cold.

"Mom is confused."

Liu Fuchun patted his forehead. He spent the whole morning watching his eldest wife making breakfast and watching his eldest son eat. He made sure there was no reaction and forgot about his son drinking tea.

Fortunately, Erbao is smart. After drinking this cold tea, he won't have a stomachache again today.

"Mom, go right now." Liu Fuchun took the kettle and went out. After she went out, Yan Yi picked up the steamed buns on the table and put them under the bed. He opened the window and poured the hot gruel outside, and then took it out. I didn't even bother to dry the sesame cake I bought at a small stall outside, and just chewed it.

Over the past few days, he had thought carefully about why his first county exam went smoothly without any incident, but after he successfully passed the case exam, every subsequent exam failed. Once he Who will have the greatest impact on stopping childbirth?

It's impossible for Yan Chu, how can he not understand himself?

Except in the case of Fu Zhenzhen, Yan Yi considers himself to be a person of high moral character, so naturally he cannot do such dirty things. In this case, the most likely person to attack him is Yan Yu. He once ’s eldest cousin.

Yan Pei had been a child for more than ten years. Being admitted as a criminal prosecutor was too much pressure for him. In order to prevent his younger brother from getting ahead of him, he took the action of drugging his food. Very normal thing.

Yan Yu could no longer trust the character of Dafang and his family.

Although he didn't know why the doctor couldn't find out every time the other party drugged him, Yan Yu only thought that it was because the medicine the other party used was relatively hidden. Otherwise, it would be completely impossible to explain why he would always eat and drink the same thing. Nothing was wrong, but I had diarrhea, vomiting, or a high fever every time.

This time, Yan Yu just wanted to try to see if he could complete this scientific examination normally without touching anything at home.

When Liu Fuchun came in with hot water, what he saw was the dishes that had been eaten.

"I've eaten too much, and I still don't drink water. It would be bad if I overeat."

Yan Yi did not dare to touch the water brought by Liu Fuchun. The other party would not be suspicious of his son. If this pot of water was tampered with by Yan Ping, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

"If you're full, don't drink water. Now walk more to digest."

Now Liu Fuchun was in a state of chaos, and after hearing Yan Yi's words, he immediately blamed himself for bringing so much food here early, and never mentioned letting his son drink water.

The journey from the small rented courtyard to the examination room went smoothly. When the gantry opened, all the candidates were inspected and entered in turn, and they were safe and sound.

Liu Fuchun and Yan Changxue stood outside the examination room, fearing that their son would have another accident this time.

But this time, perhaps because of God's blessing, Yan Yu actually completed the first day of the exam, including every subsequent exam, safely.

When Yan Yu came out after the last test, his face looked tired, but his eyes were more excited than ever.

Yan Yin, Yan Yin, what kind of beast is he?

Yan Yu screamed in his heart. His guess was indeed correct, it was the other party who had done this to him.

****

Yan Chu practiced Chinese calligraphy in a calm mood. Ever since his parents recognized Fu Zhenzhen as their goddaughter and held a banquet in honor of their clansmen and neighbors, the relationship between the two was no longer so taboo.

At this moment, the fourth sister Yan Lanhua and Fu Zhenzhen are both in Yan Chu's study. One is holding a travel journal with paintings and looking at it with interest, while the other is setting up a small table and copying the fonts on the several copies that Yan Chu gave her. .

The atmosphere was very harmonious. Occasionally when Yan Chu stopped writing to rest, the three of them could talk and laugh. Fu Zhenzhen could not let go from the beginning, but now she can call Yan Chu "third brother" calmly.

She didn't know whether she felt sad or not. At least after recognizing her, the other party had already begun to try to change his attitude towards Yan Chu.

Write a sharp-edged word "forbearance", and then watch the water stains slowly dry on the rice paper until the word disappears.

Yan Chu calculated the time, but this time he did not take action. If his estimate was correct, it would be time for the family over there to take a bite.

*****

"What are you talking about? This is impossible."

Before Liu Fuchun and Yan Changxue woke up from the joy that their youngest son had passed the entrance examination, they heard their son suspect that every time he was sick and couldn't take the examination normally, his eldest son Yan Yin was framed.

The eldest son and the youngest son share the same mother, so why would he do something to frame the younger son? Is this of any benefit to him?

"I don't want to doubt my eldest brother, but dad and mom, I'm afraid you don't know. From the beginning to the end of this scientific examination, I never drank the water at home or ate a bite of the food at home. On the days of the examination, I used The only thing that satisfies my hunger is the sesame cakes bought from street vendors.”

Yan Yu was very disappointed that he didn't pass the exam, and he didn't even have a natural talent, but he couldn't blame him. After all, he was worried about the whole exam. In addition to the test questions, he had too many random things in his mind. , coupled with this scientific examination, there are indeed many students with real abilities. It is already very good if they can pass the entrance examination.

They are both scholars and have a great reputation, but the difference between endowment, proliferation and epiphysis is still very big.

It is said that scholars are poor, but the talented students among the scholars are not poor. They have monthly grain distribution from the government. In addition, for every county examination and government examination, the candidates who take the exam must have one or two talented students who are guaranteed. A candidate can receive one tael of silver. If there are many candidates with guarantees, they will have enough money for a year. Therefore, when the world talks about poor scholars, talent is not one of them.

As for hyperplasia and epiphysis, they do not have the same benefits as inborn students, but they can still participate in the subsequent provincial examination.

Therefore, if Yan Yu fails to pass the subsequent provincial examination and is awarded the title of Juren, his reputation as a scholar only sounds good. He may not be able to receive students if he wants to open a book school. All the expenses for studying in the future will still be paid. Come inside.

However, for Liu Fuchun and Yan Changxue, whose eldest son failed in the exams many times and failed again this time, the younger son is already very successful. He is only thirteen. For such a young scholar, are you afraid that he will not be able to pass the imperial examination or become a Jinshi in the future?

Anyway, the couple is full of confidence in their youngest son.

"You didn't eat the food at home."

Liu Fuchun was stunned, why didn't she know.

"Because I wasn't sure whether my suspicion was true at first, but the facts have proved it. I believe that my parents will not harm me. In this way, other people in the family who can have access to what I want to eat will Who else can be those who drink tea with their meals?”

Yan Yu said that he was very heartbroken. The reason why he did not expose Yan Yin just after the imperial examination was just because he wanted to wait for his results to be announced as a scholar and increase his weight in the hearts of Yan Changxue and his wife.

It's a pity that it's not the head of the case, otherwise the effect would be better.

He sighed in his heart, but it didn't matter. Compared with the eldest son in his early twenties who was still doing nothing, he believed that Yan Changxue and his wife would make the right choice.

Seeing their youngest son's determined and heartbroken expression, Liu Fuchun and Yan Changxue opened their mouths, but in the end they said nothing and returned to their houses in despair.

"The child's father."

Liu Fuchun wanted to say that it was not necessarily her eldest son who had done anything. Maybe it was the people in the second room. But this time, including the previous exams, the people in the second room had not interfered with her son's scientific examination at all. After saying this, she herself I don’t believe that the person in the second room has the ability to do anything.

He was really her eldest son, and she was so heartbroken that she couldn't believe it.

Regardless of how she and her man plotted against their second wife, she hoped that her two sons would work together and get along harmoniously.

The wealth they saved as a couple will not all belong to their brothers in the future. The palms and backs of their hands are all flesh, and Liu Fuchun cannot bear to part with them even if they are injured.

"I'm afraid what Erbao said is true."

Yan Changxue looked sad because he had never thought about it before. If the two brothers were really harmonious and beautiful, no one would be jealous of the other, and he would take advantage of the one who was in trouble and had a good life. Why would he keep plotting against his elders? The second family was afraid that they would take advantage of them. Seeing that the other party was having a better life, he was so angry that he couldn't sleep all night long.

How could the eldest son do something that he could not do even through words and deeds?

For the first time, Yan Changxue felt some regret.

"We have to have a good talk with Dabao."

Senior Yan Chang sighed, as his youngest son said, if there are too many coincidences, then it is no longer a coincidence.

*****

"That's nonsense. Did that boy Yan Yi sue you all?"

Originally, he was unhappy because he failed the exam again and his younger brother passed the exam. He wanted to go to Chunfeng Tower to find Xiao Cui to relieve his worries and touch his purse to see if there was a penny in it. Now that he came back and heard that his parents were wronged, Yan Ying was furious. Type it out.

"It has nothing to do with your brother. It's just that your parents want to ask you why your brother always got sick when he ate food from home. This time he secretly went out to buy something to eat, but he passed the entire exam safely. ?”

Yan Changxue saw his eldest son showing such fierce anger, and he preconceivedly assumed that the other party had a guilty conscience, just like he did to his younger brother before. He was particularly experienced in this kind of thing.

Precisely because he was that kind of person, Yan Changxue was not particularly surprised by what his youngest son said. Although he couldn't accept it for a while, he believed it after thinking about it more.

"Does he blame me for his own poor health? In that case, why not say that it was my mother who did it?"

Yan Yin was already in a bad mood, and now he was even more furious.

He felt that everyone looked down upon him. Ever since he had a younger brother who could study, his parents had taken him less and less seriously. He had been short of money before, but now he just wanted a few hundred pennies. My parents were reluctant to go to Chunfeng Tower to relieve their worries. Why were they hiding the money? It was not just to save their promising young son.

Yan Pei felt it was too unfair. He was the eldest son in the family. According to convention, at least 80% of the family's property must belong to him. Now he was just spending his own money early. Is he wrong?

They are really father and son. What's the difference between Yan Ping's thoughts at this time and Yan Changxue's thoughts at that time.

"Dabao, how can you talk to your mother like this?"

Liu Fuchun couldn't be more heartbroken after hearing her son's sophistry and pointing the finger at her. She believed that she cared deeply for her two sons and had never shown favoritism to anyone. Even because Yan Yin was the eldest son, in many cases Times were actually better for him.

But how did this son treat her? He made a mistake, but he put all the blame on her.

Liu Fuchun gasped and felt dizzy.

"Let's separate the family. You have been married for so many years. If you separate the family as soon as possible, everyone will be happy."

As a man, Yan Changxue was smarter and more courageous than Liu Fuchun in some aspects.

For example, at this time, Liu Fuchun was still thinking about excusing his son, thinking that maybe it was just a coincidence, but Yan Changxue had already begun to calm down and seek a more appropriate solution.

Regardless of whether it was his eldest son who did it or not, Yan Yu is already alienated from this brother. One is the eldest son who is destined to stop being a child, and the other is the younger son who has been admitted as a scholar and has a bright future. Yan Changxue feels that between the two, time, you should make a decision.

Choosing the eldest son, the younger son is destined to feel that they are partial and drift away from the couple. They finally gave up on each other after finally training each other to be a scholar. Yan Changxue felt reluctant to let go.

The eldest son would be unconvinced by choosing the younger son, but he is still dreaming of the scientific examination. Perhaps the best way to deal with him is to completely let him recognize the reality.

With no money and no food, I guess it’s time for the other party to learn a craft to support themselves.

Thinking that he had made the best choice, Yan Changxue said he wanted to separate the family.

Even Liu Fuchun was stunned. He didn't understand why the family was separated even before the matter was clarified.

*****

"Boss, boss, have you all thought about everything clearly?"

Old Man Yan put down the pipe in his hand and looked at the other party in disbelief.

It's a happy event that the second grandson has passed the examination. Why did it lead to a family separation?

"I have already thought about it clearly. This time I invited all the elders from the clan here just to be witnesses." Yan Changxue nodded and said.

In the main room of the Yan family, all the men in the family were there, and the married daughters also got the news and went home. In addition, there are also the clan leader and several elders in the clan.

"Now that everyone is here, you and Chang Xi should also share the two houses together. This will save you the trouble of dividing the things you have in your hands between Dabao and Erbao when your brothers separate."

Old Man Yan coughed a few times, and what he said shocked both Yan Changxue and Liu Fuchun.

"Dad, what kind of family do my second brother and I have?"

It's a joke, now that Yan Chu is promising, he can't get rid of them. In recent years, a lot of the money for his studies has come from the public account.

Yan Changxue was indignant. In fact, at the beginning, his brother-in-law had to pay for his nephew to study, but Yan Chu was not happy with it. He took on some copying work outside, and also painted some calligraphy and paintings of Bodhisattvas and Buddhas and sold them to those who believed in Buddhism. People earn some paper money, which is said to be enough to cover the cost of studying.

He didn't believe it. The old man and the old lady must have given the second son's family a lot of money. Otherwise, if the money was so easy to earn, why would the other scholars be living miserable lives.

"You can divide the family for your two sons, but I, the father, can't divide the family for my son?" Old Man Yan asked the eldest son: "Besides, you are both grandfathers. It’s time for the family to be divided.”

Generally speaking, parents do not divide their families when they are married, but there are also those old people who have children who are married and will choose to divide everything they can while they are still alive, saving other children from fighting over those things a hundred years later.

Old Yan now sees clearly that the second child's family is prospering, and the eldest family seems to have other small ideas.

He wanted to divide the family between his parents before things got too much trouble. When they were far away from each other in the future, maybe the grandson would still have some feelings for his uncle's family and be able to win over several of his cousins ​​in the future. Bundle.

Furthermore, it seems that the second grandson of the old family has also been admitted as a scholar. Although he may not be as good as the younger grandson, he is still a promising person. Now, while the whole family is still in harmony with Meimei, he divided the family and treated everyone all good.

Today's emperor attaches great importance to filial piety. In front of his relatives, Yan Changxue dared not refute Old Man Yan's words no matter how courageous he was. He was half-stunned and didn't know whether he was right or wrong in proposing the idea of ​​dividing the family.

Yan Chu was admitted to the imperial examination, and his second wife was not short of money. Therefore, when the family was separated, Old Yan still chose to favor his eldest son.

The eldest son was allocated 10 acres of the family's 13 acres of high-quality paddy land, the younger son was allocated three acres, seven acres of medium-quality paddy land, the eldest son was allocated five acres, the younger son was allocated only two acres, and the remaining 24 acres of sandy land were temporarily allocated. Regardless of the division, the land will be used for the elderly couple to support themselves in their old age. After a hundred years, the eldest son will be divided into sixteen acres, and the younger son will occupy eight acres.

The division of land is too biased. Don't forget, the family paid for Dafang to buy a house in the town, and spent the rest of their savings to help the head of the house, Sun Yanying, marry a wife. The expenses for these two items amounted to eighty taels, but Old Man Yan seemed to have forgotten these two things, and still chose the custom of giving more to the eldest son when the family was divided.

Yan Changxi and Li Qiuyue were honest, and their sons were also successful and did not lack the old man's money, so they didn't say anything.

They also have children and understand how their parents feel. They always want every child to have a good life. When they see a family that is doing well, they want to help those who are not doing so well, although this behavior will make those who don’t live a good life. I don't like being favored, but sometimes I can't help but do it.

Although Yan Changxi had never been favored, he still sympathized with his parents.

The eldest family member of the Yan family was completely overjoyed. Although he still felt a little sad for the land that was given away by the second family member, looking at what he was about to get, he didn't care about the little pain.

The remaining livestock were divided equally, and those that could not be divided equally were converted into money.

Because Yan Changxi's family will still live in the countryside for a long time, the livestock given to the eldest brother Yan Changxue were converted into money and bought, which means that the chickens, ducks and cows in the family now all belong to the second house. And the big house gets the money.

As for the old house in the family, it is supposed to be for the eldest son. However, because Old Yan and his wife plan to live with the second eldest son, Yan Chang, this farmhouse will be used by Yan Chang in a hundred years.

Houses in the countryside are not valuable. Yan Changxue and the others used to live in the town and rarely come back. Thinking that their parents would not rely on them to support themselves in old age, they had no objections to this solution.

Old Man Yan's family separation passed peacefully, but Yan Changxue wanted to separate his two sons' families, but it was not that simple.

Yan Yi despises the money at home. In his opinion, as long as he can participate in the imperial examination normally, he will be able to earn it back sooner or later. But as long as he thinks about what Yan Pei did to him, he doesn't want to let that vicious person Despicable men take advantage.

Similarly, in Yan Yin's heart, it was Yan Yu who framed him. He was the eldest son, so why couldn't he ask for more land and real estate.

The two were tit-for-tat, and Yan Yu was a little bit better. He couldn't let go of his pride as the number one scholar and prince-in-law in his previous life. There were many words and many actions that Yan Yu could do, but he couldn't. He suffered a lot while holding his breath.

Yan Yin seemed to have given up on himself. When the family was separated, if his parents and other clan members had not stopped him, he would have directly attacked Yan Yu.

The two brothers looked at the clan leader and other elders in the clan and stared at each other. Old Yan didn't understand why his two grandsons were like this all of a sudden. No wonder the eldest brother wanted to separate the family.

In the final result of the family division, Yan Changxue was more fair than Old Man Yan. All the things he had on hand, except for the house in the town and a small amount of cash, were divided equally.

As for the house in the town, both sons can live in it now. After a hundred years, the house will belong to the eldest son Yan Yin.

Logically speaking, Yan Yin also took advantage, but looking at the ratio of the family division between his father and his second uncle just now by his grandfather, and now looking at the ratio of the family division between his eldest son and his younger brother, Yan Yin felt that he was at a disadvantage and it was unfair.

The same is true for Yan Yi. He clearly told Yan Changxue and Liu Fuchun about the despicable things Yan Chu did, but the two couples still gave Yan Chu so much money. Obviously, the words of love and respect he said before were all bluffs. of.

As expected, one cannot fully trust such a sinister and vicious couple.

Yan Changxue and his wife felt that they had done a good job in dividing the family this time, but still, neither of their two sons was satisfied, and they even hated them in their hearts, which was their own fault.

After the family was divided, several elders of the clan notarized it. All the men of the Yan family put their fingerprints on the family division agreement, and the family was considered divided.

Logically, the whole family should have a meal together, which means that even if the family is separated, they are still close relatives by blood and will support each other in the future. However, Yan Ping obviously didn't think so. After getting the money, he ignored his wife and got angry. 's gone.

The clan leader and other clan elders present looked at his rude and unreasonable behavior, and their expressions were very ugly.

*****

"My big brother, hey, Xiaobao, I only recognize you as my brother now."

After the meal, several elders in the house smoked cigarettes, while the women were in the kitchen cleaning up the mess after cooking and washing the dishes.

Yan Chu was not used to the pungent smell of smoke, so he came out to the yard to take a breath. Yan Yu followed him out just after watching him leave.

To "himself", he recounted the heinous evil deeds that Yan Pei had done to him, and lamented that indeed, in this world, the only one he could trust was "himself".

Yan Chu looked at the other party's affectionate confession and didn't know what expression to make.

After all, the real "bad guy" is him.

But the better the original treats him now, the greater the blow he will receive in the future.

It seems that the other person is very satisfied with the exam, so let him be happy for a while longer.

This is how it will be for him in this life, so cherish this last happiness.
