Self-cultivation of Male Supporting Role

Shi Yan had to leave Bai'an to go to the capital recently. On the way, he was kidnapped by Mrs. Liu who came prepared. Mrs. Liu brought several carts of medicinal materials and the midwife doctor who had collected from all over the place, and insisted on following Shi Yan with him. Go to Beijing.

Worrying about Shi Yan's rejection, he said directly, "Sir, your great kindness to me and He Gao, our mother and son will never be repaid in this life. Xiaobao's first child is born. I can only feel at ease when I see everything with my own eyes."

Liu Niangzi is already the famous shopkeeper Liu Da in the south of the Yangtze River. Outsiders don't know her relationship with He Gao. They call their mother and son Beiyang Nanliu. Together, they account for almost 30% of the business in the north and south. When the character arrives in front of Shi Yan, apart from being alive and confident, his attitude towards Shi Yan is the same as that of the past.

In Liu Niangzi's heart, she regards Shi Yan's two children as her younger generation's love. Although she travels around the world all the year round, after these years, what He Gao has, the two children must also have them. They are never different. trip.

Shi Yan also knew this, so he didn't refuse. He walked along the way very indifferently, without any rush. It was time to go, stop, and look at Lady Liu, who wanted to get to the capital as soon as possible. Especially when there were still five days away from the capital, I suddenly received a letter from the capital, saying that Xiaobao's daughter-in-law had signs of premature birth, and Lady Liu was even more anxious.

Madam Liu spun around anxiously. To be honest, if it wasn't for the fact that she knew clearly that Xiaobao was Shi Yan's biological child, Madam Liu could not wait to say to Shi Yan's face, "The most ruthless is the heart of the stepfather."

Shi Yan was annoyed by Lady Liu's dangling in front of him, so he kindly explained, "Don't worry, I guarantee that the adults and children are all well, so don't worry."

Who would have thought Liu Niangzi was angry at Shi Yan as soon as she opened her mouth, "Co-authoring, you really know how to become an immortal and you can pinch it, but it's a big deal if you don't."

Shi Yan ""

Forget it, don't explain it. Seeing the other party's anger, he has to work hard to create a death stare expression, which is very difficult. Shi Yan no longer embarrassed others, and directly ordered the team to speed up.

When it came to the capital, everything was as Shi Yan said. Mother and child were safe. It was just a false alarm that day, but Lady Liu did not intend to apologize to Shi Yan. To be honest, Lady Liu felt that Shi Yan was too calm in this matter. After a while, the attitude towards the two children on weekdays was completely different, which made her very incomprehensible. She is also worried that Shi Yan's inattentive attitude will make Xiaobao's daughter-in-law and her family have thoughts, so try to make up for Shi Yan.

Shi Yan didn't stop Mrs. Liu from acting like this. In the final analysis, it was for the good of the children. Each had its own reasons, and there was no way to tell right from wrong.

Just based on the large boxes of account books that are sent to Xiaobao's daughter-in-law every year, he believes that there is nothing bad about the daughter-in-law's family.

Although money is not a panacea, it can indeed solve most of the troubles. Otherwise, in just three years, how could the clan accept Xiaobao as the son-in-law of the county king's mansion? What about the cold and ruthless heart of the imperial family?

"Hey, don't you have to rely on you for this?" Xiaobao approached Shi Yan and acted coquettishly, and when he saw that there was no one around, he whispered, "You just gave the emperor a sum of money privately last month, and the officials will decide as appropriate. I have promoted my son, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, who is a fourth-ranking person, and has been promoted to three levels within three years, so I don’t know how many people are jealous.”

He said with emotion, "Hey, this official is too expensive."

Thinking of the money that was given to the emperor, piled together to build a super-sized grave for himself to bury him properly, Xiaobao felt a little discouraged for no reason, "Dad, you don't know how many people in the court are trying to find their son day and night. The person behind, who would have thought it was you? Do you think our decision was wrong?"

Shi Yan rubbed his son's head. In fact, the boy's life has not been easy in recent years. Although he has the ability to push people up, it takes a lot of energy for the stinky boy to sit firmly in that position. In such an environment, it is still easy to mix. So I decided to tell the other party a fact, "Oh, I think too much, do you know where our family's main business is now?"

"south"

"The fault is the surrounding countries"

Xiaobao was stunned and couldn't believe what he heard. It had only been three years since the last time the family made a decision. His father and brother He Gao had secretly made such a big thing, not only hiding it from him With my sister, we have to hide from the imperial court and the emperor. The difficulty can be imagined, but it is impossible for Xiaobao to put it on his father.

Thinking about the country that his father and brother He Gao had fought, Xiao Bao felt that the burden on his shoulders was a little heavier, and thinking about the things that he had discussed with Yue Zhang a few days ago, he calmed down. Approaching Shi Yan, like a child, he insisted on taking someone to the academy to appreciate his sister's eloquence and Confucianism, giving lectures.

Shi Yan glanced sharply at his son. He always felt that this stinky boy had something to hide from him, but he felt that it was not a big deal. When the child was older, he should have his own, so he didn't care. Who knew that this boy would suddenly give him this kind of thing a few days later. As soon as he came out, he couldn't help crying.

"You know, Dad doesn't care about that." Shi Yan said helplessly to his son, holding his fresh eldest grandson in his arms.

Xiaobao insisted, "Father, I know you don't care, but my son cares, so let the child's surname be Xu. I have discussed it with Ah Zhao and my husband, and they have no opinion."

The prince of the county is a very thoughtful person. Not to mention that he really values ​​Miao Zhongju's son-in-law, he feels that his character cannot be picked. As far as interests are concerned, if the grandson's surname is Xu, it is not his grandson, or the grandson's surname is Xu. In the future, if he will not be filial to his parents, and he will not help his brothers and sisters, his in-laws will not be that kind of confused people.

The prince of the county can think about it, and his daughter A Zhao thinks even more. In the past few years, only the account books sent by the father-in-law to her alone are several large boxes, which are dozens of times more than the dowry given by the father, and nothing else. For the sake of money alone, why not let the child's surname be Xu? Why don't you still call Shi Yan grandfather, and call their husband and wife their father and mother?

The attitude of several people was firm, especially Xiaobao's eyes when he looked at Shi Yan, for fear of being rejected by Shi Yan. Shi Yan sighed in his heart. Accepted his son's kindness.

So Xu Jizu became the first child of the Miao Xu family. When the letter was sent back to Bai'an County, Mrs. Miao locked herself in her room for an afternoon and said to Aunt Liu, "Help me to the ancestral hall, and I will follow The old man said, lest he be the next one who can't think about it and come up to harm the children."

In fact, Xiaobao's idea was to kill first and then file. Although it was wrong for him not to discuss with his grandma beforehand, he did not regret it.

With a clear conscience.

In the second year, Xu Jizu, who had a clear conscience, had a younger brother, Miao Jici, who cried all day.

It was also in this year that Zhou Jin was eighteen years old and inscribed on the Golden List. He was ranked No. 1 in high school. Then when everyone fell below their eyes again, the two tied the knot.

After a few years, the people in Beijing found that the family had done too many wonderful operations, and they didn't know what to say to express their dazedness. In the end, there were only four words left.

After the marriage of the daughter, Shi Yan held the little grandson after the speech, the youngest son-in-law Zhou Jin held the step-grandfather, Weng and son-in-law were chatting, and when they mentioned something, Shi Yan felt a toothache, "I heard that you had some friction with General Lu yesterday."

More than friction, the two disagreed, and they started fighting in the street. Although Zhou Jin is not a scholar with no strength, but Lu Hanhai's real fists and feet honed on the battlefield are not something Zhou Jin can beat. After the recruiting, Zhou Jin was almost pressed to the ground and rubbed. If the street patrol officer hadn't stopped it in time, the two of them would not know how much trouble they would have gotten.

But none of these Zhou Jin would say that, as a child who grew up with his father-in-law, he knew what to do at this time, so he sued, "Sir, you know, the old man surnamed Lu is really upset and kind. , In recent years, my sister has not been married, and he is not married, and outsiders say that he has a deep affection for my sister, I bah"

Zhou Jin originally wanted to sue Shi Yan, but he got angry with himself, "It's all nonsense, it tarnishes my sister's reputation in vain, and who is pretending to show it? It's disgusting, he doesn't have a wife, but there are few concubines in the backyard. Did you delay him to have fun and have a son? But let the rumors spread all over the sky.

Yesterday, I had the face to provoke me and said that I am not worthy of my sister, can I be worthy of him as an old man? Sir, tell me if he should be beaten"

What Zhou Jin said was a little exaggerated, Lu Hanhai did not marry a wife, Shi Yan believed that he still had some thoughts on Ayun, but more of it was up for grabs. Now, Shi Yan is good at this. He protects his shortness, so he gave his son-in-law a look of "I understand". He left the mansion late at night, passed through the layers of restrictions in the general's mansion, and quietly left behind in Lu Hanhai's study. unique to him.

Lu Hanhai is a smart person, and he naturally knew what Shi Yan's warning meant when he saw it, and since then he has restrained himself a lot. Zhou Jin also asked Shi Yan curiously, "Sir, the old man surnamed Lu ran away when he saw me, what the **** are you doing? how to deal with him"

As a person who can't carry his shoulders and hands, Shi Yan can tell his son-in-law the truth. Obviously he can't, so he shows an unfathomable look, and the little son-in-law can understand the rest.

Zhou Jin was really deceived, he kept his mouth shut, and showed an expression of admiration to his father-in-law.

Seeing that his son-in-law was so foolish, Shi Yan couldn't help shaking his head. He felt that it was the personality of a young man, and he still needed a few years of experience in the officialdom. On the other hand, Little Treasure, the former junior junior brother became a brother-in-law, and he was a little unconvinced. Looking at Zhou Jin's eyes was always unfriendly. Today, he complained to Shi Yan, "Dad, just like this, how can I match my sister?"

Shi Yan snorted, "It's like people know how hot or cold they are when they drink water, and the two of them think it's suitable. By the way, your sister agreed to come over at noon today, and let's have a meal together as a family."

Xiaobao suddenly became alert, "Are you thinking of going out again?"

Shi Yan didn't hide it, he nodded and admitted, "Yeah, Mr. Mei is in bad health, and I want to go out for a walk at the end. We have an appointment with the great monk, and we will go wherever we go."

Xiaobao knew that the big monk was the abbot of a temple outside the city of Bai'an, and he didn't know what fate was, and the three of them established a deep friendship. He knew that the reason given by his father could not be refused, so he could only watch his father drop them again and fly away happily.

When Shi Yan left, he sent off Mr. Mei and Mrs. Miao intermittently. The elders who needed his care were gone, and the juniors also stood up without him worrying about him, so they went even further. Sometimes One or two years, sometimes years, may not be able to receive a letter from him, but the people close to him have never lost news of him.

How to say that sentence is not in the rivers and lakes, and the rivers and lakes are full of his legends.

It is in response to this sentence that there are stories of them everywhere on the rivers and lakes and in the marketplace. It is said that the monks preached in the northern country together, and almost divided the small country into two factions. It was said that the monk burned crystals in the desert country together, and the people of a city were madly following him. It is said that the monks were digging the gold of the bull's head in the miasma forest in the south of the Five Ridges, which attracted countless bandits and fought for three days and three nights.

The story is true or false, but as long as the family hears a new story coming out, they can feel at ease knowing that Shi Yan is not only alive and safe, but also lives more freely than any of them.

Although none of them understood, how could a good Shi Yan become a monk?

Shi Yan himself didn't understand this question, but he didn't resist. In fact, wherever he and the great monk went over the years, the Xu family's caravan followed them. The power of Shi Yan has secretly developed into all kinds of strange horned Gadas, and now it is very inappropriate to say that Shi Yan is a businessman.

In the words of the great monk, "a single word can break a country's veins."

It's not alarmist, if Shi Yan said that he wanted to be an emperor, he could do it at any time. The key is that the unfortunate person who is about to be kicked out of the throne by him probably won't notice it in advance.

Just like these two people, one day they suddenly decided to go to sea, and they went when they were ready. Later, it became more and more popular to play overseas. When the coastal area went out to sea instead of worshipping the sea god, when they worshiped these two people instead, the family members far away in the capital were not surprised at all.

The younger generation in the family has been growing up listening to the legend of their grandfather. The children often get together and fight because the grandfather they imagined is different from what others have come up with. Fighting back and forth is also a kind of fun, but When they were over ten years old and were taken by their grandfather around the world one by one, they gradually understood that grandfather was not something anyone could imagine. It is not easy to describe with words.

When the children of several families were disgusted with dogs, their favorite person was their grandfather Shi Yan. Gradually, Shi Yan will keep some of these children, send some back, and slowly let them go out on their own, until all the things at hand are handed over to the next generation.

This business empire lurking in the ground, when it was in the hands of Shi Yan, never really revealed his hideousness to others. When it was handed over to the next generation, it was split several times and controlled to the point where manpower could restore it. .

On the bright side, Shi Yan gave the children a wealth of property, but it was by no means wealthy. From the outsiders' point of view, the Xu and Miao families were just too lucky. The people in the middle are like a duck to water, and they do business well in the country. No one knows how much gold and silver they give to the court and the emperor every year in private.

As for how the descendants of future generations will treat this huge wealth, whether it is a blessing or a curse, there is God's will, and Shi Yan does not force it.

Until one day, the white-haired Shi Yan suddenly said to Xiao Jia, who hadn't contacted for a long time, "This is the first few tasks before I transfer to the group."

Xiaojia, who was playing games in the dark room, was suddenly forcibly pulled out, still a little stunned, and subconsciously said, "Eighty-one."

Shi Yan chuckled, facing the surging river, and said, "That's right, so next time, I can really be myself and start from scratch."

Xiaojia's reaction this time was extremely fast, he was silent for a moment, and couldn't help crying, "There are rules in the bureau. If you successfully complete 81 missions, you will have the opportunity to be reborn as a human being, but you have never mentioned it for hundreds of years. , I thought you didn't care, isn't it bad that we've been partners since hundreds of years ago, eternal life, always together, isn't it good?"

As if afraid of hearing the voice of rejection, Xiao Jia said anxiously, "Besides, when you died originally, because of your strong unwillingness, you were sensed by the bureau and were brought back to the bureau. You obviously don't want to die, but you can do something. Go back to yourself, and you'll really be dead."

Shi Yan sighed softly, and tolerated him like a tantrum-like younger brother: "Xiao Jia, you know what I want, you always know, otherwise, the last few tasks will not become more and more silent, you are very strong, right?"

Xiaojia started to roll around with his best coquettish "I'm not strong, don't separate, don't, woo woo, don't you want to abandon me, really is a scumbag"

Shi Yan didn't say anything, and let Xiaojia mess around. It wasn't until half an hour later that Xiaojia couldn't make a fuss, and then he said slowly, "Don't be afraid, Xiaojia, you are very powerful, you have grown up."

Xiaojia seemed to know that it couldn't make Shi Yan change his mind after all, and said aggrievedly, "But, I will miss you."

Shi Yan has unprecedented patience, coaxing him into "a confidant in his life, just how many people can you have" 1

Xiaojia was coaxed a little by him, and asked awkwardly and curiously, "Am I your confidant?"

Shi Yan nodded, "Naturally."

One person Yitong suddenly fell into a short silence, watching the waves roll, and the previous hundreds of years of experience flashed in front of Shi Yan. Although he experienced the lives of others, he has gained a lot. Coming from time, he was unwilling at that time. The resentment was gone, and the heart gained unprecedented peace.

So he smiled and said to Xiao Jia, "The green hills do not change, and the green waters will flow, so let's go."
