Self-cultivation of male support

After five days of hard work, when Shi Yan guessed that the Zong family and his wife could no longer sit still, things turned around.

This day, a charming guest came to Zhejian Villa, bright and generous, straightforward personality, born in Duan's Villa, she is a chivalrous woman who has rarely been famous in Jianghu in the past year, and there are many admirers following behind her.

Don't do what he thought, the person who came was Duan Youran, Mrs. Zong's natal niece and her elder brother's daughter.

Fifteen this year, the same age as Zong Shixiang, two years older than Shi Yan, Shi Yanzheng's fiancée whom Bajing was engaged to when he was young.

When the owner of Folding Sword Villa was still Zong Chixian, Zong Chijian’s sons and daughters had a very low sense of existence, and they often played with their uncle’s cousins. At that time, everyone was young, and the Duan family was a family that had long since declined. , the whole family is sincerely happy to receive the young lady and young master of Folding Sword Villa.

Even Miss Tang.

Therefore, the relationship between Zong Shixiang and Duan's brothers and sisters has been relatively close since they were young.

Duan Youran, who was dressed in a goose-yellow dress, walked briskly, and entered the main hall hand in hand with his cousin Zong Shixiang. He had the free and easy feeling of the children of the world, and the arrogance of being well-educated since childhood. A rare beauty in the martial arts world.

Especially when she speaks, she speaks quickly without being annoying, like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley, making people curl their mouths when they hear it.

Along the way, Zong Shixiang held his cousin Duan Youran's hand and sighed: "The last time we met was on my uncle's birthday a year ago. It's only been a year. I feel that you have changed a lot, cousin. I almost lost my mind when we met just now." I dare not admit it.

It's so beautiful, as my mother said, every move is a scenery, but unfortunately I have never been able to do it, and my mother is always disappointed with me on this point. "

When speaking, Zong Shixiang's face was full of regret and envy.

Mrs. Zong, who had been watching for a long time, was convinced of her daughter's words. The change in her niece was indeed too great, which made her feel a little uneasy.

Her natal family has been down and out since she was born. They were able to find a way to marry her into the famous Folding Sword Villa all those years ago. It was their Duan family who resorted to tricks. They are already regarded as high-ranking, and they have no background at all. Folding sword villa in recent years.

In just a few years, it is impossible for the Duan family to raise a girl with Youran's temperament. You must know that a person's temperament is related to everything she has experienced. It may appear on the children of the Duan family.

What's more, when we met last year, this girl didn't feel like this.

But all of this happened before her eyes, so what happened to this girl that she didn't know about?Or, what did the eldest brother and sister-in-law hide from themselves?

I'm not a silly girl like Shi Xiang, I don't think too much when I see such a thing.

But Duan didn't expect that the niece looked soft and weak, and knew the rules and etiquette very well. As soon as she uttered the words, she was furious: "Auntie, I don't know what my mother wrote to you last month. How are you thinking? Jiangnan was in a hurry, so in order not to delay my niece's good deeds, I had the audacity to come to the door and walk away in person."

Mrs. Duan pulled out a smile that couldn't tell the difference between real and fake, and took her niece's hand and said in a warm voice: "Youran, you have to know that there is no turning back when you start a bow, and there are some things that once you step forward, there is no turning back. You are still young and don't understand human language." awesome.

Have you ever thought that once you do this, you will face gossip from the whole world?No matter how bad that person is, he is also his son. If you do this, you are slapping him in the face and discounting Jianshanzhuang's face.

We are aunts, so naturally uncles can't say anything, but..."

Saying half and keeping half is the easiest way to make people fantasize. This trick has been tried and tested before, and it is Mrs. Zong's negotiating trick.But today it failed on my niece.

I saw that the smile on Duan Youran's face did not change at all, and he returned to hold his aunt's hand generously and heartily, with a clear and sweet voice like an oriole: "Auntie, I know that you are doing it for my own good, but if you are really doing it for Youran's good, you should It's better to take a longer-term view. Outsiders don't know what kind of person that person is in the village, so can we ourselves not know?

In the past year, I have specially asked my cousin Shi Xiang to tell me about his recent situation. He is simply a man who can't do anything without writing and can't make a dull fart. Only Ding's woman who is used to putting on airs is in my heart. To please Ding Shi, you don't care about the life and death of other people!

What's the fun in letting me marry someone like that?Compared with the magistrate's son-in-law, it is clear at a glance whether he is superior or inferior, who is superior or inferior, so what's the point of receiving some gossip about it?

Besides, after I get married with the magistrate's son in the future, I will gradually cut off contact with people in the Jianghu, who can come to me without knowing the meaning and make irresponsible remarks? "

The perfect good-aunt smile on Duan's face was almost unbearable, and she pretended not to hear clearly and asked her niece, "Youran, how do you know about that person?"

Duan Youran didn't answer, and Zong Shixiang who was standing by the side finally couldn't help but speak, inserted between the two of them, and said with a proud face: "Mother, don't be sloppy in front of me, my cousin has already written a letter about the relationship she had with her. Shi Yan told me about the engagement, and asked me to inquire about Shi Yan's whereabouts.

Cousin is such a kind person, such a beautiful girl, it would be a waste of money to ration such a little beast!Now that my cousin has met her sweetheart, why don't we help her? "

Duan's hands hidden under her sleeves were shaking, thinking that these days, in order to let her daughter marry her niece to the south of the Yangtze River, under the tremendous pressure of a possible inner ghost in the villa, she risked offending her natal brother and sister-in-law at any time, and planned in every possible way , but the niece came to a trick to draw the bottom of the salary.

A slightly stiff smile appeared on his face: "When did it happen? Mother doesn't know why? It's the same with You Ran. If you have any questions, you can't just ask your aunt, an adult, in case your children don't know what to do. If the secret is known by others, it will inevitably be talked about."

Zong Shixiang didn't see that her mother's expression was wrong at all, and she smiled and took her mother's arm and said, "About a year ago, my cousin said that she wanted to know about her fiancé's situation in advance, so that she could make more plans for the future. After all, it's a girl's family." It's a private matter, it's not good for too many people to know, so I didn't tell my mother."

Speaking proudly, she looked at Duan Youran: "I'm not talking nonsense, it's all the truth, I didn't even fabricate a bad word about Shi Yan."

Duan Youran held Zong Shixiang's arm gratefully: "Yes, I have to thank my cousin for her help. I am also the daughter of a good family. I have learned etiquette, righteousness, and shame. If I knew from time to time that Shi Yan was so unbearable, I wouldn't have to When I met the magistrate's son, I couldn't help being moved.

Cousin, aunt, you can understand me, right? "

Zong Shixiang nodded again and again: "Of course I understand. Cousin, you are here to call off the engagement today, right? I guess right! It should have been done a long time ago, what do others say? It doesn't affect eating or drinking, As long as you live a good life, what's the harm in being said a few words?"

Duan: "..."

Duan was shrewd and confused for a while, originally thought that the fence in her yard was very strong, without her permission, others could only hear what she wanted others to hear about the news in the village.

Unexpectedly, she was suddenly slapped by her niece and daughter, which made her dizzy and unable to recover.

Originally, Shi Yan didn't know about this matter, but some people couldn't hold back and took the initiative to run to him to show his presence.

In the evening, Shi Yan practiced swords all day in the yard, sweating all over, looking a bit embarrassed, leaning against the tree and closing his eyes to rest, Xiao Hungry went outside to pick up a food box very wisely.

Recently, because Zong Chijian was in the village, the kitchen began to deliver food to Shi Yan again. At first, the man wanted to go into the yard to take a closer look, but after being chased by Xiao Hungry and bit off a piece of meat on his buttocks, No one thought about it anymore, and left the food box at the door in a desperate manner, turned around and ran away.

Limp and ridiculous.

Xiao Hungry would hang the heavy food box around his neck from outside the door after Shi Yan finished his practice, so as to avoid the trouble of going to the kitchen to be a gentleman on the beam, Xiao Hungry himself was quite happy.

But today was a little different from usual. When Xiao Hungry entered the yard, there was a person behind him.

Shi Yan's clothes were messy, a few strands of hair stuck to the top of his head, he closed his eyes and leaned against the tree, his breathing was shallow, his chest rose and fell gently, making it impossible to tell whether he was really asleep or a fake sleep.

The person who came walked briskly, and it sounds like he has some kung fu, but according to Shi Yan's judgment standard, this kung fu is not as good as the garbage inner disciples in the village, so there is nothing to be afraid of, let alone follow those who are watching in the dark Erbi, Shi Yan didn't bother to talk to her.

The visitor didn't think so, seeing Shi Yan like this, she just felt embarrassed, everyone could be bullied, living a life that was worse than pigs and dogs, and she felt very happy in her heart!

Two years ago, I had countless dreams on and off. In the dream, various scenes were intertwined, and it was as long as a lifetime. When I came back to my senses, I found that everything in my life matched the dream. Duan Youran I think all this is a warning from God.

It was the same in my dream. I met Xie Chaoshu first. He was bookish, tall and tall, and a gentleman like jade. He was completely different from the people in the Jianghu. He was gentle and elegant, as sharp as he was, and he would never forget it. The figure of the other party.

Originally thought that the two had only met once, Xie Lang was a passerby from then on, but one day, father told him that the man was actually the second son of the prefect's family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the other family wanted Xie Lang to marry someone in the Jianghu.

After a lot of manipulation by the father, the marriage of the two of them was finally confirmed there.I got my wish, the joy in my heart at that time, I think only the world can know.

Dad believed in the aunt who had brought countless hopes to the family since he was a child, and asked her to operate from it, and quietly withdrew his marriage with Shi Yan.

Unexpectedly, my aunt only had Zhejian Villa and her own daughter's interests in her eyes, so she tried to marry her cousin Zong Shixiang to Xie Chaoshu, but she had a relationship with Zong Shiyan for no reason before marriage, so she had to marry the wimpy Zong Shiyan and was ignored by the other party. , ridiculed, and followed him through all the stares and humiliation, and spent half his life aggrieved.

He could only watch Xie Lang show so much courtesy to his cousin from a distance, endured the pain in his stomach, and acted like an unrelated passerby.

That's all, if my cousin lives peacefully with Xie Lang, she will feel sore, and she still hopes that that person will live a happy life, but my cousin should never, absolutely shouldn't, and shouldn't play with Xie Lang, whom she puts on top of her heart. In between, within half a year after marriage, she had an affair with the young master of the Demon Sect of Jianghu, and was also involved with a flower picker. In the end, she went to Beijing with the fifth prince of the court, went out as a couple, and abandoned Xie Lang like a widow. Shoes, let Xie Lang lose face, depressed and frustrated.

Although I tried my best to leave Zhejian Villa and walked to Xie Lang, Xie Lang also felt a little pity for him, but he accepted him because his eyes were similar to his cousin. Cousin, how unfair?

Therefore, a year ago, I started to make arrangements, silently cut off the aunt's way of letting my cousin marry Xie Lang, rushed in front of everyone, and had a good relationship with Xie Lang, and let Xie Lang take the initiative to talk to his family about reconciliation with him. marriage.

Then he went to the Zhejian Villa, and personally shared the matter with his aunt in the sun, so that the aunt would have no excuses.

After that, it was the divorce, and in front of everyone, he and Zong Shiyan clearly divorced!She wants to break with this man completely, and make him lose face!

In my previous life, this person ruined my life. If I hadn't had a relationship with this person for no apparent reason, and soon found out that I was pregnant, how could I be disheartened, give up struggling, and obediently marry him according to my aunt's expectations? ?

Just wait, one day, none of these people will be let go!

Duan Youran stood two steps away, with a dog between Shi Yan and Shi Yan, condescendingly looking down at the embarrassed Shi Yan, the smile on the corner of his mouth could hardly be suppressed.

Not to mention Shi Yan, even Xiao Hung could feel the malice emanating from the woman in front of her. Xiao Hung smelled the woman who insisted on coming in with her, and wrinkled her nose to smell Shi Yan, and finally decided in her heart that it was still The cub I raised smells good.

So he happily leaned on Shi Yan, one person and one dog reclined under the tree and fell asleep, completely ignoring Duan Youran who came to taunt Shi Yan aggressively.

Duan Youran gritted her teeth, determined in her heart that Shi Yan did it on purpose, and took the initiative to say: "Shi Yan, let me tell you, you'd better be more aware of current affairs, and take the initiative to take out the token of our two marriages, don't be ignorant ! Otherwise, hum!"

Shi Yan sighed inwardly, a little bit regretted kicking Xiao Jia back to class, now it's impossible to complain to someone who knows how to do it.

This person can't do it.

He could only slowly open his eyes, tilt his head and take a careful look at the woman standing in front of him.

The eyes are somewhat similar to Zong Shixiang's, but Zong Shixiang's body is extremely stupid and extremely evil, while the person in front of him looks bright and charming at first glance, generous and hearty. At the age of five and 60, he couldn't ask for it and complained about his calculations and viciousness all his life.

Definitely not the eyes that a normal blooming girl can have.

Shi Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, which is very interesting.

Resisting the urge to make calculations, Shi Yan decided to be a decent Jianghu person, a brainy Jianghu person.

Duan Youran's heart skipped a beat, and she took a step back involuntarily. Just a moment ago, she had a strange feeling that she was seen through by the young man in front of her at a glance. It was the feeling of seeing the depths of the soul, which made people frightened and shuddered. I really saw it Ghost.

After regaining consciousness, Duan Youran was secretly annoyed, took two steps forward, puffed up her chest, and deliberately emphasized that she didn't care.

"Who are you?"

Duan Youran was stunned.

"Go out if you have nothing to do, don't disturb me, and close the door by the way."

It was only then that Duan Youran realized that she questioned her as soon as she came up, and she really did not report her family background.I recognized at a glance that the person in front of me was Zong Shiyan, that bastard, but Zong Shiyan had never known him before in his dream, so he really shouldn't know him.

"I'm Duan Youran. I believe your mother told you about your marriage contract with me, right? After all, if you don't firmly grasp the life-saving straw of our Duan family, you are destined to be killed by my uncle in the future." I can't get up from that pulse, and the future generations will have to live under the fence, isn't it uncomfortable?"

Thinking of the vicious woman Ding Wan in her previous life, she looked down on her having sex with Shi Yan before marriage, but at the same time she did not dare to offend their Duan family and had to make a flattering gesture.

In his memory, Ding Wan did mention it to Shi Yan once, but Shi Yan never took it seriously. At that time, he only wanted to practice the sword well, regain the Zhejian Villa, let his mother live a good life, and marry his aunt. The niece of the mother's family has no interest in this matter.

Shi Yan seriously asked Duan Youran, who claimed to be from the family, a question: "Did you come here alone?"

But Leisurely was taken aback: "What?"

Shi Yan repeated it seriously: "Did you come here alone?"

Duan Youran didn't know what was going on in her head, she raised her chin and said proudly: "Look at the dilapidated small courtyard you live in now, and live a life that is not as good as pigs and dogs, do you still want to see the elders in my family? For someone like you, it’s enough for me to come in person, isn’t it?”

If it wasn't for seeing Shi Yan's miserable state with his own eyes, Duan Youran didn't even intend to let anyone in his family come to Zhejian Villa, Shi Yan is not worthy!Sending a capable housekeeper at home is already for the sake of Shi Yan's dead father.

Not only is Shi Yan unworthy, but also the aunt who has lost her conscience and the uncle who has fake benevolence and morality are also unworthy. As long as she has this letter of resignation written by her father in her arms, she will withdraw from this marriage!

Shi Yan sighed inwardly, even if this woman has lived in the depths of her soul for decades, she has never lived a single day wisely, her eyes are completely covered by illusory things, and she only sees what she wants to see. Three acres of land, people have been abolished.

Shi Yan had to remind again: "My father's betrothal gift to your family back then, including silk and satin, gold and silver jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, coral pearls, Zhuangzi shop, various jewelry, equivalent to about 40 taels of silver, the list is one three servings.

I have a copy here, your family has a copy, and another copy has been filed with the government. "

Shi Yan slowly raised his head again, looking calmly at Duan Youran: "Miss Duan, you don't think that with your family opening your mouth and touching your lips, this kiss will be divorced according to your family's wishes, right?

I want you to come alone, these things are still stored in your warehouse, and they will be used as a dowry for you in the future, and brought back to my clan.Since your family is strong-willed and you don't want to keep this marriage overnight, please trouble your family to send back the dowry as soon as possible, so as to avoid long nights and dreams. "

After Shi Yan finished speaking, he looked curiously at him and Duan Youran's little hunger, and asked in a low voice: "Do you also think that it's not worthwhile to buy a savage and willful woman with 40 taels of silver? Hmm?

When you get the money later, I will buy you as many bones as you want! "

Duan Youran's hands hidden under her sleeves had already been clenched tightly so that she wouldn't show the slightest disrespect in front of Shi Yan who looked down on her.silver?Where is the silver?What's more, it's still 40 taels of silver!

One must know that Zong Chixian had accumulated several years of wealth after he became No. 1 in the martial arts world, and used it for his beloved son as an engagement gift.Nowadays, the Duan family does not necessarily have those savings if they do not eat or drink for three years. What's more, the Duan family's great fortune is not determined by the father alone.

When the two got engaged, Duan Youran was still young, no one would tell her the truth.But after experiencing the encounter in the dream, she vaguely understood many things. For example, at the beginning, the Duan family wanted to marry their aunt to the famous Zong Chixian in order to change their family's situation.

But Zong Chixian, the proud son of heaven, never had eyes on the already down-and-out daughter of the Duan family, so they changed their minds and turned their minds on the honest and honest Zong Chijian.The plan was very successful, but it's a pity that there is Zong Chixian's Folding Sword Villa, Zong Chijian has no right to speak, and it doesn't help their Duan family's recovery at all.

Later, the Duan family turned their minds on Zong Chixian's only son, Zong Shiyan. Through his cousin Ding Wan, who was Zong Chixian's wife, they negotiated peace, and finally settled on the marriage.

Zong Chixian was really willing to part with his only son, and he gave out 40 taels generously as engagement gifts for the two children, instantly filling up the Duan family's treasury. Emerging in the rivers and lakes.

I thought that the Duan family would be able to sit back and relax in the martial arts world after climbing the big tree of Zong Chixian.Unexpectedly, God's will is unpredictable. Zong Chixian fell in the battle between righteousness and evil, and Zhejian Villa fell into the hands of the ordinary Zongchijian. This person is destined to follow in the footsteps of their Duan family, and it will be a matter of time before he goes down.

The Duan family has already figured out their way out.

The result was beyond everyone's expectations. Zhejian Villa has an unparalleled status in the martial arts world, and the Duan family's backer has also changed from Zong Chixian's in-laws to Zong Chijian's in-laws.

Shi Yan kindly reminded: "If gold, silver and jade are not easy to carry, you can convert them into silver bills and send them to me, saving time and effort. As for antique calligraphy and paintings, they may appreciate in value in a few years, and 40 taels of silver will be left in your home for nothing. , how much interest was lost, since our two families are relatives, I will forgive you."

Duan Youran's face was pale, and her body swayed involuntarily. At this moment, she finally understood one thing. In her dream, her parents were by her side. How did she have an unexplained relationship with the poor Zong Shiyan who lived under the fence? I can't find any clues!

Because of such a large amount of money, the Duan family was unwilling to pay it no matter what. Even if it was his own daughter, the father would not lose the savings of the Duan family for three years without food or drink for nothing!Father can't explain to the tribe!

Even if the father agrees, the Duan family will not agree!It's a good deal to sacrifice one of yourself for 40 taels of silver, isn't it?

No wonder!No wonder!

Duan Youran stumbled away, Xiao Hungry's eyes were filled with confusion, Shi Yan gave him a pat on the back: "Probably because I was too excited after finding out that I was very valuable."

Then asked Xiao Hungry: "We will have money soon, what do you want to do when you have money? Huh?"
