Genius is hard to come by

When Yu Yan was a child, he felt that he was a rare genius.Until he met Liu Huaizhi.

The master of the Yu family is a businessman. Because of his business success, the family life has always been good. The only fly in the ointment is that his wife Ye's body is weak, so that the master has never had an heir in his forties.

Many people persuaded the master to accept more concubines to continue the incense, but the master is a dedicated lover, not to mention concubines, and he has never even had a concubine.In this regard, when the wives get together, they often comment on it, saying that Mr. Yu and Mrs. Yu are deeply in love with each other, which is enviable; but the men in the neighborhood sneer, just imagine how can a man not want three wives and four concubines? Well, Master Yu is just out of fear of guilt this time.

For these little rumors, Master Yu never took it to heart. Apart from taking care of the family business, the most important thing in his daily life is to look for famous doctors to take care of Mrs. Ye.Xu Huangtian paid off, and finally when he was 40 years old, news of Mrs. Ye's pregnancy came.

There was a drought that year, and there was no harvest in the crops. Many poor people suffered from seedlings and complained all day long. What's more, they were displaced and went to the city to beg along the streets.Master Yu couldn't bear to see the hungry victims, so he set up a porridge shed in the city to provide porridge for the hungry victims.

At that time, Mrs. Ye was only two months pregnant with the child, and the doctor repeatedly told her that Mrs. Ye was not young, so she must take care of this baby carefully, and a slight misuse could lead to miscarriage.Therefore, the upper and lower levels of the mansion serve with care every day with the spirit of 12 points.

Yu's family waited so carefully until the ninth month of Ye's pregnancy.On this day, it was rare that there was a heavy rain, and the people happily rushed into the rain to dance and celebrate.That night, Mrs. Ye gave birth early and successfully gave birth to a healthy baby boy for Yu's family.

As soon as the news came out, all the neighbors rushed to congratulate Master Yu on his happy birthday.Everyone also said that Master Yu's good intentions will be rewarded with good rewards. God saw Master Yu's kind deeds, and he fulfilled the regrets of Master Yu about his heirs. Now this child comes with the blessing rain, and he will be a man of great blessing in the future.

Master Yu was very happy when he heard this statement, so he took advantage of this blessing and rain to name his son Yu Yan.

For this son, Master Yu had high expectations at first.

When Yu Yan was six years old, Master Yu hired a teacher to teach Yu Yan at home.Yu Yan's talent can't be said to be good, but also because he is an only son, he can't help being arrogant and indulgent, and he doesn't have the temperament to sit at the desk honestly and study at all.Every time the gentleman came to Yufu to give lectures, he felt that he was on the battlefield. After less than a year, the gentleman resigned.

Although the main problem was Yan, but for the sake of face, Mr. Na had to praise Yu Yan against his conscience when he resigned.Said that Young Master Yu is talented and intelligent, but also diligent and studious. I deeply feel that my knowledge is limited, and I am afraid that I will delay the young master, so I decided to resign first.

Although Mr. Yu has not received much literary influence, he is a person in the shopping mall after all, so he can understand what Mr. Yu means.So he only said that "the child is naughty" and paid money to the husband.

In the next two years, Master Yu successively hired three more gentlemen for Yu Yan, but they all resigned not long after, and Master Yu inevitably had a headache for this.Later, when those gentlemen heard that they were teaching the young master of the Yu family, they all expressed their lack of ability and declined.Master Yu simply asked his son to study at home.

The servants in the family don't know much about learning. I don't know who heard that the master didn't dare to teach because the young master is too smart. He said it a few times in private, so his young master is extremely smart. The feeling spread in the mansion.These servants think that their young master is a genius, so naturally they can't help but praise the young master in front of him to be a good boy.Over time, Young Master Yu deeply misunderstood his talent.

It may be that hearing too many flattering words can always make people blindly confident. Yu Yan has never been particularly concerned about reading, and often sneaks out of the house to play when he should be studying.It was precisely because of this that Yu Yan met the person who had missed his life——Liu Huaizhi.

When he saw Liu Huai for the first time, Yu Yan was squatting on the curb and gnawing candied haws. He ate it so ecstatically that he didn't care that he was wearing a gorgeous brocade suit that Mrs. Ye had asked someone to make for him. People passing by all looked sideways.

After eating the last one, Young Master Yu looked at the bare bamboo stick with unsatisfied interest, feeling a little bewildered.Just as he let out a long breath, he heard a burst of laughter not far above his head.Looking up, several young masters who are about the same age as him are looking at him and smiling happily.

Seeing him looking up, the leader took two steps forward, looking down at him with a dignified folding fan in his hand, and asked, "Which family are you from to be so handsome?"

Yu Yan looked at the man, who had fair skin, delicate eyebrows and eyes, and a pair of smiling eyes staring at him intently.He stretched out his hand to wipe his mouth, and wanted to get up to answer, but at the moment he was about to stand up, his feet were sore, he lost his focus and fell to sit down.

"Hey... what's wrong with you?"

"Foot, my feet are numb..."

"..."

The man stepped forward to help him up, because Yu Yan was raised by Ye Shi very well since he was a child, and his body was heavy, but he almost dragged the man down.

After the two of them stood up straight again, Yu Yan said, "My name is Yu Yan, and I'm from Yu's family on West Street."

The person who helped him was stunned, he didn't expect that this little chubby man who was eating candy was actually the only seedling of the Yu family who often heard people say that he came with the blessing.While thinking about it, he put on a smiling face without any trace, and announced his family name.

Only then did Yu Yan know that the fair-skinned young master in front of him was the second son of the Liu family, Liu Huaizhi, whom he had often heard about in the past.

On weekdays, the servants in the mansion sneak away from their busy schedule, and they are always happy to comment on the people and things in this town, and Yu Yan also listens to them.He still remembered that the girl Xiaocui in the mansion was under the big pagoda tree in the courtyard, and told several other new little maids in a vivid and vivid way, saying that the Liu mansion was a famous scholarly family in the city, and the big man in the mansion The son is talented and intelligent, he has read through historical facts at a young age, and is full of knowledge; the second son... the little girl shook her head: It doesn't mean that she is studious, but he is gentle and gentle, and he is usually the most pleasing to the elders, and he is the best in life. Delicate, I don't know how many boudoir girls will fascinate me when I grow up.

The little girls next to him listened attentively, not knowing which one was the one who was talking nonsense, and asked, "Is Mr. Liu smarter, or the young master smarter".

Xiao Cui was taken aback by the question, but didn't speak.

Yu Yan, who hid behind the tree and listened, couldn't help but struggle in his heart.He thought that he had received a lot of compliments from his husband, wouldn't it be embarrassing if he was easily compared to him?So I deliberately found a day to intercept the housekeeper in the mansion to ask.

The sun was shining at noon that day, the housekeeper had lunch, and was taking a leisurely walk along the garden to inspect the warehouse. He had just yawned when he was blocked by someone trotting ahead.

"Master, this is..." The housekeeper was puzzled when he saw the man looking at him with a serious expression.

Yu Yan stood still in front of him, his eyes widened: "Before, the gentlemen said that I was very talented, and they felt ashamed and couldn't teach me, so they all resigned?"

The housekeeper's eyebrows twitched when he heard him ask such a question.Thinking that he used to be a half-educated man, and only because his family was poor, he became a housekeeper to make a living. Others don't know about his young master's knowledge, but he knows a thing or two.It's just that he doesn't allow him to point it out, so he can only respond in a tone of voice: "Young master is sensitive and eager to learn, he has eyes and ears, he is really a talent."

"I heard that the son of the Liu family is very intelligent?"

"Yes, young master, especially Mr. Liu. It is rumored that this young master can read at the age of three and can compose poetry at the age of five. If he works hard, he will become a great talent in the future." The housekeeper stroked his mustache thoughtfully. answer.

"Then how do you compare with me?"

"The young master is even better." The housekeeper answered sincerely without changing his expression.

Yu Yan heard an expression of "I knew it", and went back to the study like the wind on his feet.Since then, he has never cared about any rumors about the eldest son of the Liu family.

As for the second son... Yu Yan is a person who depends on his talent, and his appearance is not important.
