Self-cultivation of male support

After that day, there was a breakfast shop proprietress missing at the entrance of the Escort, and a hard-working Lady Liu was added to the team following the Escort northward. Lady Liu was bold, long-sleeved and good at dancing. Taking advantage of the momentum of the Escort, she quickly took root in Fucheng and opened. He opened a small tea room as a base for the escort brothers to travel to and from Fucheng.

Not long after, many brothers in the Escort sent their relatives to Fucheng to be taken care of by Liu Niangzi. Liu Niangzi brought women, children, old and young, and used the recipe she borrowed from Miao Xiucai to support the first large bowl of rice noodles in Fucheng. shop.

The large bowl of rice noodles is mainly sold in the middle and low-end market in Fucheng. The taste is unique, and the price is only [-]% higher than the market price. It quickly won the hearts of the people in Fucheng. Yinzi, who was happy in his heart but remembered Liu Niangzi's words on the face, kept a low profile and made a fortune in silence.

In order not to be suppressed by the jealousy of their peers, they have adopted a purchase restriction method. They only sell a fixed [-] bowls of rice noodles every day.Anyway, there is work to do all day long, and the money comes in, so I can't take it easy.

Somehow, it slowly spread out that the big bowl of rice noodles is actually the treasure of the town store. A bowl of really high-quality delicious rice noodles costs [-] taels of silver. The production process is extremely complicated and cumbersome. The ingredients need to be prepared at least half a month in advance, unless someone Come to order and pay a deposit, otherwise it is easy not to show it to others.

Some people really tried it with money out of curiosity, and now everyone only remembers that the day when the rice noodles came out of the pot, the delicious and cheap rice noodles that they usually tasted in their mouths were a bit dull. The rice noodles, which were put in a special food box by that pot, could not be seen or touched, but could only be smelled, were ticked off.

Since then, the name of the big bowl of rice noodles has become famous throughout the city, and foreign merchants pass by, and it seems to be a great pity in life not to come and taste it.

And the relationship between the big bowl of rice noodles and the bodyguard bureau, because of the mutual dependence, gradually walked out of the prefectural city and moved towards a broader future. Liu Niangzi, a big bowl of talker on the bright side, has gone through ups and downs all the way, through ups and downs, and a thousand difficulties Wan Dan, stepping on the shoulders of countless people, finally became the all-powerful lady Liu in the mall, everyone respected three points.

I don't know how she will feel when she thinks of today's decision at that time. Today, Shi Yan led someone to send Liu Niangzi away in a low-key manner. Before Yang Hegao had time to feel sad, Shi Yan urged: "Hurry up, brother Zhou should come The Gongyuan is over, if you don’t go, it will be too late!”

It's not too late, but a group of people hastily arrived at the entrance of the Gongyuan, just in time to see Mr. Zhou coming out with a haggard face carrying a test basket.

If you want to ask, why can you find Mr. Zhou among thousands of people at a glance?

Hey, what a crime, when others left the Gongyuan, a group of people cheered and cheered and asked for warmth. It was so lively, but Mr. Zhou stood there alone, alone, so pitiful.

Shi Yan patted Xiaobao and Ayun's heads, and the two children instantly rushed over like the wolfdogs of the aunt's house next door, calling out: "Uncle Zhou! Xiaobao is here to pick you up!"

"Uncle Zhou, Ah Yun is here to take you home!"

Yang Hegao saw that the two were on the rampage, and all the sad and sad emotions disappeared in an instant, so he hurriedly followed and escorted them, fearing that they would fall.

Mr. Zhou was still thinking about whether he had misunderstood the encouraging and admiring nod given to him by the examiner, Xuezheng, when he passed by the examiner. He was suddenly shocked by the voices of the two little guys. Then he saw Shi Yan bringing his whole family to pick him up.

His heart warmed, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.He squatted down and stretched out his hands to hug the two small cannonballs from left to right. He didn't want the basket anymore, he laughed and walked towards Shiyan.

Shi Yan knew that Mr. Zhou had done well in the exam at a glance, so he took the two children with a smile, pointed to the carriage stop not far away, and said, "Let's go home first, we can talk about it when we wake up." !"

Yang Hegao picked up Mr. Zhou's test basket and ran over. Just when he heard this, he hurriedly led Mr. Zhou to the carriage that he drove over from home. There were quite a few carriages that came here today, and they were all parked by the side of the road. Most of them have no logo, and the color and style are almost the same. If you don't pay attention, you can't find it for a while.

A group of people in the car, even children like Ah Yun, found that Mr. Zhou today was a little different from the past, and they couldn't tell what was different, so they just kept staring at him curiously.

Mr. Zhou was sitting upright, but when he saw this, he put Ayun on his lap, pinched her little nose, and said with a smile, "What are you looking at?"

Ayun thought for a while, and gave an answer: "Uncle Zhou is very happy today! That's great!"

Mr. Zhou was taken aback for a moment, then he showed a bright smile, and asked Shi Yan who was sitting opposite him uncertainly: "Is it obvious?"

Shi Yan smiled without saying a word, Yang Hegao answered quickly: "Obviously! Just like the script said, high-spirited!"

Isn't it just high-spirited, how many nine years can a person have to study?In the past nine years, how many unsatisfied, how many tossing and turning, unable to sleep at night?

Today can be regarded as the first step. Even if the result has not come out, Mr. Zhou still feels relaxed. After passing this exam, he can clearly see his progress over the years, and he has not wasted time. This makes him feel relieved. A boulder that had been pressing down disappeared without a sound.

How can it not make people feel happy?

Obviously, this is not the happiest thing for Mr. Zhou. Five days later, when the rankings were released in the township examination, he successfully won the title of Jieyuan this time with the first place on the list.

For a time, the scenery was unparalleled, and his previous achievements were once again pulled out of the corners of the eye and repeatedly chewed on. The nine years of obscurity became painstaking study, pure and filial.The relationship with the tribe was stiff, and he became upright and principled.Living in poverty, with no rice to cook for several times, has become a life of not bowing down for common things.

There was an endless stream of people who came to visit. At one time, the small yard of Mr. Zhou's house was crowded, and it was even more crazy. The courtyard wall went straight to Mr. Zhou's study.

Everyone said: "A small gift is not a respect."

Holding in his hand, or carrying a gift that is definitely not light, he tried every means to go around Mr. Zhou, to leave an impression on Mr. Zhou, or to have a plan, or to cast a wide net. All with bright and friendly smiles.

There are even a few people who are full of creativity, think what others think, and are anxious about what others are anxious about. They directly bring their own daughters, nieces, or adopted daughters to the door. Be sure to ask Mr. Zhou, who has been single for 29 years, to accept it for the sake of face, whether it is serving tea Water, or Sasa Nuhong, just give them a bowl of rice to eat.

When she said it, her face was full of red, she winked and winked, and she almost said clearly: "It was sent to warm your bed, you can do whatever you want!"

Mr. Zhou felt nauseous for a while.

But the person next to him regretted for a while after hearing this: "Why didn't I think of this idea? Mr. Zhou is a bachelor who is 29 years old! No matter how good his character is, he is still a man!

If you're a man, you can't do without the things in bed between a man and a woman. How can you tell him to give it to someone else first?Mistake! Mistake! "

The ones who sent concubines and nieces know how to save face, and they speak more or less reservedly. Those who bought Qingmeng from the Qinglou Chuguan and took them home as adopted daughters really didn't treat their adopted daughters as human beings. There are many people who stuff their adopted daughters into Mr. Zhou's bedroom.

After a while, conflicts broke out in the bedroom because several adopted daughters who went to "make the bed and fold the quilt" appeared one after another. It was so lively that the lawsuit was even brought to Mr. Zhou.

Facing the weeping women who still use their eyeballs to seduce others, Mr. Zhou felt exhausted, but others felt that if the news spread, it would be a good story in the future. The drama of several women competing for a man is the dream of countless men ah.

Some people persuaded: "Master Zhou, if these infatuated women are fulfilled, it will be beautiful to be accompanied by red sleeves in the future!"

After hearing this, Mr. Zhou couldn't sit still at all, and the stiff smile he had managed to maintain on his face disappeared. Just when he wanted to go all out and take the risk of offending others, Shi Yan appeared with a few children.

Two three or four-year-old children suddenly appeared on the scene, holding Mr. Zhou's legs and climbing up. When they finally sat in Mr. Zhou's arms and said something cute, the style of painting changed completely.

In front of the two children, no matter how big your heart is, you can't say anything about men and women, and red sleeves add fragrance.The weeping adopted daughters put away their tears and silently withdrew from the crowd.

Outside the courtyard, Yang Hegao and Uncle Liu greeted the restaurant staff they had brought to set up tables, chairs, benches, and tables for the banquet. Shi Yan smiled and said to the chaotic crowd surrounding Mr. Zhou: "I'm late, everyone, please forgive me. Brother Zhou specially asked me to invite you to a table at the restaurant and come back to entertain you.

If there is any poor hospitality, please forgive me, so please! "

It was obviously not a good time to talk, everyone dispersed and went to eat outside, Yang Hegao and Liu Bo entertained them, and a few restaurant staff were there to support them, so it finally became less chaotic.

Shi Yancai whispered to Mr. Zhou: "I guess you are alone here. You didn't prepare in advance, so you came here quickly, so you have caught up."

Mr. Zhou is naturally grateful, but according to the relationship between the two of them, needless to say, a look is enough.

Shi Yan said again: "I sent someone to invite the clan elders to help."

Mr. Zhou was taken aback, but he didn't blame Shi Yan for making his own claims, but asked with his eyes.

Shi Yan sighed in his heart, Mr. Zhou is indeed talented in reading, but he didn't really step into the official career, so he didn't think much, so he simply mentioned a few words: "If you really want to take a step forward, you can't You have worries about the future, and you unilaterally cut off contact with the clan, but outsiders don't know about it, and they don't believe it if they know it.

It is impossible for a person to have no origin, and in the future, the Zhou family members will use your name to act outside, but you have no idea..."

As soon as Shi Yan clicked, Mr. Zhou immediately thought of his intention: "Brother Xu is saying that even if I don't reconcile with the clan, at least I have to win over some clan members for my use. Someone can help me manage the clan members No nonsense, secondly, even if someone does nonsense, someone will tip me off and let me prepare.

Either way, it's better than knowing nothing. "

Shi Yan nodded, but what he didn't say was that the clan at this time was a natural bond, Mr. Zhou was stubborn, and he didn't want to have too many interests involved at the moment, but after a long time, he would naturally find that the clan used it well, The effect is better than he can imagine now, it depends on how to operate it.

While speaking, several elderly voices came from the outside, greeting the people who came here today. Although the words were not particularly pleasant, the sincerity and simplicity of the elderly people's words made it easy to Make it difficult for people who want to say something presumptuously.

Yang Hegao and Uncle Liu couldn't suppress the restlessness at the banquet, and finally returned to calm after the arrival of several old people. For a while, there was the sound of pushing glasses and changing glasses, and the scene was harmonious and happy.

It was the Zhou family who came.

Mr. Zhou got up, and said to Shi Yan in a low voice before going out: "You are right, it is impossible to be a single husband in this world, these people are so unruly today, named He Xi, but in fact they are persecuting, don't they rely on my family With no one in the middle, no clan behind him, and no one to help, do you dare to be unscrupulous?

No, when the clan came forward, they stopped.But I can't offend everyone at once. "

Shi Yan waved his hand: "Just figure it out, let's go!"

Mr. Zhou really figured it out. What he didn't think to understand in the past ten years or so, he just figured it out in an instant. The world is not black and white, and it can't develop as he wants.

Compromise is a truth he has just learned.

He compromised with his clan, he compromised with the world outside the scientific research, and maybe there will be more things that require him to compromise in the future. As long as he doesn't step on his bottom line of principles, I don't know how many compromises are waiting for him in the future.

Shi Yan noticed that Mr. Zhou's eyes changed instantly. He seemed to be looking at a good student who was beaten by the society and taught to be a man. This kind of person is smart and knows everything. is difficult.

So he heard Mr. Zhou say to an elderly clan elder in a corner where no one was around: "I heard that the grandson in the third grandpa's family is smart. If the third grandpa is willing, how about letting him be Sihong's book boy for a few years?"

How else?Excited of course!Who doesn't understand the truth of leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade?The gatekeeper is still a seventh-rank official. It is better to follow a master to gain knowledge than to stay in the village and farm for a lifetime. The third grandfather understands this truth!

How the two of them discussed afterwards, and how Mr. Zhou improved his relationship with the clan, Shi Yan was no longer worried. Looking at the bustling scene outside, hiding his achievements and fame, he seemed to see Zhou Mr.'s ups and downs in life.

Just as he was feeling emotional, Yang Hegao came out of nowhere, leaned up to him and winked, and said, "Sir, one day in the future, if you are in high school, our house will definitely be ten times more lively than this, and you will not need to come out at that time." As long as you work hard, Hegao will give you a beautiful place!"

Shi Yan slapped the kid angrily, because he hadn't figured out the current situation yet. He told him that he wanted to find Mr. Mei, just to find a reliable Mr. Ayun.He never thought about the reason for putting such a big leg there, instead of hugging it himself, but let the hopeless Ah Yun hug it?

Seeing this kid looking at Mr. Zhou's scenery with unrealistic fantasies in his eyes, Shi Yan told him cruelly: "Do you still remember why we dealt with rumors like that a few days ago?"

Yang Hegao naturally understood: "In order not to involve Mr. Zhou in rumors and ruin his reputation."

Shi Yan looked at the lively scene in front of him with his hands behind his back, his voice was clear and cold, without any emotion, he continued: "What do you want to be famous for?"

Yang Hegao didn't even think about it: "Mr. said that for those who have nothing in Vanity Fair, a good reputation is the biggest weapon to protect themselves.

Once there is a black history, it is the greatest leverage left for the enemy to deal with himself!Once someone handles it, a person loses himself! "

Yang Hegao said anxiously: "Sir, I understand the truth. It's like Xiaobao stole two pieces of candy and was discovered by Ayun. In order not to let you know, Xiaobao had to give all his candies for five days to Ayun." It's the same, but what does it have to do with you?"

Shi Yan sighed, thinking that this must be because the fan filter is too thick, right?

So he pointed directly at the people eating outside and said: "Why don't you go and ask them now, what did your husband and I do before?"

Idle hooligans, the word people hate dogs is tailor-made for him, he has no guts to bully men and women on the street, but it is common for foxes to pretend to be powerful and eat the bully meal of small traders It's okay, it's okay to let this thing go in troubled times, it's just that the rituals are broken and the music is broken.Putting it in the court hall is definitely providing information for the censors, and they can be sprayed with autism.

It is impossible for a person with a lack of personal morality to rise up in this life. On the contrary, every time there is a little trouble, he will be terrified.

What's the fun?

Yang Hegao was choked by Shi Yan, he occasionally heard He Da talk about it when he was drunk, saying that Mr. used to hang out with them on the street and did a lot of sneaking and stealing. It looks beautiful.

But he thought it was all He Da's bragging!

When he met Mr. Tong Sheng, Mr. Tong Sheng was already a well-known figure in Bai'an County. When people mentioned Mr., the most talked about was that the prodigal son turned his head, changed his mind, changed his past, repented, found his way back, and even repented. Some people say that Mr. has been hiding his clumsiness for the first half of his life, and he is a man with a strong heart. According to his understanding of Mr., he is actually more inclined to the second type.

I never thought that even if those things were not from the original intention of the husband, they were indeed done by the husband. Everything is done regardless of the mind, and there is no saint when it comes to the mind. Where things are, who cares what you do for them?

Yang Hegao was so impressed by Shi Yan that he realized that he was still too naive before. He felt that when he was a beggar, he was used to the warmth and coldness of human relationships, and understood most of the truths in the world. Who knows that he only realized today that the truths he understood, It's just that he thinks he understands.

Shi Yan saw that he seemed to be stuck in some kind of thought and couldn't get out for a while, so he didn't bother him, and went to help Mr. Zhou entertain the guests.

After only a while, Mr. Zhou began to adapt to his status as the master of Juren, consciously substituting in his words and deeds, respecting what should be respected, being kind and gentle, neither humble nor overbearing, coming and going, without the initial composure, and his heart Really calm down.

Seeing this, Shi Yan still thought that when he went home, he would have to pay for this brother who was worried about him like a male mother to go to Beijing, and he didn't want to waste his precious time with these people. meaningless communication.

Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, Mr. Zhou's character and literary talent were valued by the Xuezheng lord after participating in the Luming Banquet. niece as a matchmaker.

Although this niece is born of a concubine, being able to have a relationship with the school government is indeed a high priority for Mr. Zhou. When the news spread, the jealous pink eye broke out for a while.

When Shi Yan heard about it, he could only sigh: "Our family doesn't need to prepare the expenses for going to Beijing, so it's a saving."
