Self-cultivation of male support

Shi Yan really didn't lie. After this period of observation, Mr. Mei admired Mr. Zhou from the bottom of his heart. He has a good character, a slender stature, and is diligent and motivated. Apart from his birth flaws, he is a rare talent. .

And because Shi Yan has been whispering in his ear lately, the old man finally came up with the idea of ​​seriously looking for a reliable marriage for Mr. Zhou. He found it in the Mei family.

In the words of Mr. Mei: "I watched that child grow up. He was smart and introverted since he was a child. Unfortunately, he lost his fiancé and mother during the marriage negotiation. This delay will make him 21 this year."

I'm afraid it's impossible for someone from the right family, firstly, I think the girl is too old, and secondly, I think this girl is unlucky.

But he took the initiative to flatter her, and Father Mei looked down on her. The best daughter in his family deserved such a thing, and Father Mei really felt sorry for his daughter when he saw it.

After coming and going, this girl's marriage has become a big problem.

Mei always said to Mr. Zhou like this: "My eldest nephew will be transferred back to Beijing after the next year. Although I wrote to him to mention your marriage, it is a lifelong event for his own daughter. How about it? You work harder."

No matter how much Mei Lao didn't mention, he believed that Zhou Sihong's character would surely please his father-in-law.

Therefore, when Mr. Zhou went to Beijing to rush for the exam this time, he also had the task of conquering his father-in-law and successfully marrying Mei Jiao Niang.

Speaking of which, the marriage that Mr. Mei had secured was more than a step up from Mr. Xuezheng's.The girl from the Mei family is considered older by others, but Mr. Zhou is also a young man who is about to go to the third year, and he is matched with a 21-year-old girl, and neither party has any psychological burden.

Furthermore, what Old Mei didn't say was that his nephew who was transferred back to Beijing should be able to join the Ministry of Officials, a department that manages the transfer and promotion assessment of officials across the country.Although the position is not high, but there is real power.

Of course, the meaning of leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade is indispensable. No one can tell how big a network of relationships is behind the Mei family. If you are in officialdom, ordinary people will be polite to you because of this relationship.

Therefore, when Yan took several children in his family to see Mr. Zhou off at the pier, he said bluntly: "It's a major event in your life. Brother Zhou, try your best to work hard. Write to me at any time if you need anything. I will wait for you in Bai'an." Listen to your good news!"

Mr. Zhou understood Shi Yan's meaning, took the salute he handed over, rubbed the heads of the three children one by one, finally straightened up and hesitated to speak, in Shi Yan's magnanimous eyes, smiled with relief, waved his hands and got on the carriage: " Let's go, I will write to you in Beijing, please reply!"

When the people left, Yang Hegao's left-handed brother and right-handed sister were very curious about what kind of charade Mr. Zhou was playing with Mr. Zhou just now.

Shi Yan walked in front of the three with his hands behind his back, bathed in the morning light, squinted his eyes slightly and said something irrelevant: "There is no way to have both in life."

Yang Hegao looked at the back of his husband going away and felt baffled. Ayun tugged on Brother Hegao's sleeve, and waited for the person to squat down before whispering: "I heard Uncle Zhou and Dad quarrel in the study yesterday. Uncle said, ask daddy to continue the exam, daddy said geese leave sound, water leave traces, people's names, trees' shadows.

Then Uncle Zhou kept sighing. "

Yang Hegao instantly understood the point of the dispute between the two. He didn't understand why the husband stopped here before, but after he asked him to understand, he felt a lot of grievances for him. Bar.

All the people who have come into contact with Shi Yan feel that it is a pity that he does not continue to go down, and the height he can reach is limited by his past experience.Only Shi Yan knew that he didn't feel sorry for him at all, and even enjoyed himself.

He has been a lot of officials, done a lot of things, and experienced a lot of life, only this time, he wants to be an ordinary person, watching his sons and daughters get married, and slowly grow old in the fireworks of the world.

Right now, before he is completely old, he must first enlighten the young child.

So the two children were playing with mud in the yard one moment ago, but their father brutally took them to the study room the next moment, told them to change out of the mud-stained clothes, wash their hands and faces, and stuffed a book in each hand. "Rhythm of Enlightenment", when the two children were confused, they read it again.

Say it again and again, and within half an hour, the two of them were dizzy and still haven't figured out what happened, and they were pushed out of the study by their father, leaving behind their homework: "Go back tonight to recite the meeting, tomorrow morning Daddy Check, tomorrow morning dad will take you to interpret word by word."

Holding "Rhythm of Enlightenment" in their chubby hands, they stood at the door of the study blankly and looked at each other. Yang Hegao, who had witnessed the whole process, also looked confused, and finally mustered up the courage to knock on the door and ask Shi Yan: " Sir, is it too harsh for you to be like this, a little?"

Yang Hegao's words were extremely difficult, is this more than a little harsh?Yang Hegao reasonably suspected that this was the treatment of a genius.

Unexpectedly, when Shi Yan opened the door, he answered him seriously: "But that's how I learned it back then. Mr. Zhou didn't think there was a problem, and I didn't think there was a problem either."

Yang Hegao choked, thinking, can this be the same?But he really can't say what's different. According to Mr. Fourth Brother, the two children, Ayun and Xiaobao, are smarter and smarter than the brothers of the Xu family when they were young. What Mr. can do, It doesn't make sense for Ayun and Xiaobao to give up without giving it a try, right?

So the hard-working Yang Hegao took the two bewildered children back to study. Fortunately, he hadn't lost these things, so he could barely be a teacher for the two children, and took them to read it twice before dinner. Ayun has a good memory, and he remembers everything, which surprised Yang Hegao, and said to himself that he is indeed the son of the master, and his comprehension ability is very similar to that of the master.

Then he slapped himself, because Xiaobao didn't even remember the [-] percent. The key point was that the kid was big-hearted and sleepy after eating. He didn't take his father's words seriously at all. He urged Yang Hegao to take him to sleep and comforted him. Yang Hegao, who was obviously too nervous: "Brother Hegao, daddy won't beat us, so what's there to be afraid of?"

Yang He said happily: "Your father doesn't beat you, but he's going to beat you up, it's much more terrifying than beating you!" Whether the husband is serious in speaking today, he knows in his heart.

He still wanted to make a surprise attack, even if he couldn't complete the homework assigned by the teacher satisfactorily, he could finish half of it, but when he turned around, he found that he was lying on the bed and sound asleep, and he wasn't afraid at all.

Yang Hegao murmured, his eyes full of sympathy: "This is how I look like a normal child, but unfortunately in this family, normal is the only abnormality."

Sure enough, early the next morning, Yan called the two children to take the school exam. Although Ayun didn't understand what he meant, he stumbled and memorized seventy to eighty percent of the time. Seeing his father's serious face and frowning, Xiaobao was frightened. Yu Lian didn't even remember the [-]% last night.

Shi Yan showed a very disappointed look, and said to Yang Hegao, who was still anxious beside him: "Ah Yun eats two cakes less in the morning, Xiaobao can eat half of it, and if he can't recite it before lunch, the lunch will still be reduced by half."

Anyway, the central idea is just one thing, if you can’t remember, you are not allowed to eat.

It was the first time for the two children to be treated so seriously by their father, and they felt a little scared, looking at Shi Yan with tears in their eyes, Xiao Bao pouted and stretched out his hands towards Shi Yan, hoping that his father would hug him.

His father naturally didn't want to hug them. Not only did he not hug them, he also told them cruelly: "If you can't learn it in a day, you can't go out for a day. If you can't learn it in a lifetime, you won't even think about going out to play in this life! From now on, dad will only take He Gao with him." Brother go outside!"

Now the two children were completely panicked, crying and carrying the book that they didn't know a word to go outside the study to recite.The sound of sobbing came into the study, Yang Hegao looked at the study every once in a while, hoping that the husband would soften his heart, but it turned out to be in vain.

When Mrs. Miao heard about this, she couldn't bear the suffering of her grandchildren, so she pleaded with Shi Yan in a low voice: "The child is still young, you just teach it slowly, why worry?"

Shi Yan snapped back with a single sentence: "I'm not in a hurry! I learned this way when I was studying, and now I teach children like this, is there a problem?"

Mrs. Miao wondered if there was any problem, how would I know?I can't read or read!There are too many teachers in the world. I think everyone has their own way. The big guys have always heard that the teacher of the private school is strict enough to teach the students, and they will be sent to that school. They have never heard that the teacher is too strict. , You really stopped my old woman.

Seeing grandma coming in person, the two children couldn't convince their father, they felt sad, cried louder, and the accompanying sound of reading was much louder.

Yang He said heartily: Sir, even if you want to give the two children a solid foundation before you ask to worship Mrs. Mei as a teacher, you can't expect them to become child prodigies in an instant!But he could only hold back these words in his heart and dare not say them out.

He dare not speak out, some people dare to speak out.

This day, Mr. Mei came home again with a pot of good things that some disciples and grandchildren filially respected. As soon as he entered the yard, he heard the sound of reading aloud. He was curious to find the sound and went away. He saw two bitter gourds facing a pot of dense landscape trees. And stood, approached to listen carefully, the sound of reading was also mixed with the sound of sobbing, and looked carefully, there were tears on his face, not to mention how pitiful his small appearance was.

It took a long while for Mr. Mei to figure out that it was all Shi Yan's demon, and the old man who was so angry didn't care to comfort the two children, so he went directly to the study and questioned Shi Yan: "Isn't it wrong to mistreat your own children? "

Shi Yan was still puzzled: "Master, what did you say to mislead your children? I am based on the valuable experience I have summed up from my own reading. I don't tell ordinary people! If it wasn't because they are my children, you should Am I going to bother so much for them?"

Old Mei was very angry, pointed at Shi Yan's nose and said, "You still have experience? Did you just study blindly without seeking deep understanding?"

Shi Yan nodded confidently: "Yes!"

Old Mei choked, and then remembered that Shi Yan's experience was really different. According to his experience, there is nothing wrong with this, and there is really no way to reason with this person. The old man pointed at Shi Yan's nose angrily and said something After saying "Misunderstanding my son", the door slammed with a bang, and then took the two children to the next room.

Shi Yan was not angry at all when he was pointed at his nose and scolded. He slowly opened the jug left by the old man and smelled it first. It was indeed delicious.

He leisurely listened to the old man next door coming slowly, explaining to the two children the things in the books that they couldn't understand at all. Unknowingly, after half an hour, the pot of wine was drained immediately, and Shi Yan narrowed his eyes happily.

At this time, Yang Hegao quietly approached him and gave him a thumbs up: "Sir, you are still taller!"

Only then did he realize that Mr. Mei was clearly playing tricks on Mr. Mei!It's impossible to say that Mr. Mei can't see through the problem, but Mr. Mei is still willing to be tricked by Mr. after seeing through, so why?

"Hmph, aren't you greedy for the newly acquired cookbook in my hand? Besides, if you teach now, you won't become a master and apprentice immediately, and it depends on whether they can compete with each other in the future!"

Yang Hegao didn't know which tendon was cramping, so he asked: "Then what if the two of you don't live up to expectations in the future?"

Shi Yan said it very calmly: "Then I, the father, will find a way to hang Mei Lao."

This, Yang Hegao was speechless, he could only say that it was great to have such a father.

"Yes, Daddy, it's very kind of you!"

Eight-year-old Miao Kaiyun hugged Shi Yan's arm and acted like a baby, pointing at the pale young man on the hospital bed, his face was full of trust in Shi Yan, "Since the doctor said it's all right, let's go home first! Sir He also assigned a lot of homework for my younger brother and asked me to bring it back. I won’t be able to finish my homework later, I’m afraid my younger brother will cry!"

Shi Yan looked at the boy's trembling eyelashes, smiled meaningfully, rubbed his daughter's head, and greeted the doctor with a smile: "This is 30 taels of silver, and I will deposit it with you first, and I will pay for the child's medical expenses." If it is not enough, you can send someone to get it directly at home.

There is only one thing, everything is based on the child's health. "

The doctor of the medical center hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Master Xu is benevolent, since it is your entrustment, we will do everything we can. Thank you for your help last time. Why do you need to be so polite with me?"

Taking his daughter out of the clinic, Yang Hegao, who is seventeen years old with slender stature and sword-like eyebrows and star-eyed eyes, hurried over, carrying the unique aroma of a large bowl of rice noodles on his body, without asking, he knew that he had just heard the wind and came directly from the shop Yes, his chest was heaving and heaving, and there was still a thin layer of sweat on his face.

After seeing each other, I stared at Shi Yan and Ah Yun carefully, and after making sure that they were safe and sound, I said, "I heard from the customers in the store that you and Ah Yun brought a boy covered in blood into the city. I was shocked, and I asked all the way Look for it, are you okay?"

Shi Yan waved his hand, motioning for the two to get into the carriage and said.

When we got in the car, there was no need to explain. The eight-year-old Ah Yun explained the matter clearly: "Mr. recovered and sent me back first. Unexpectedly, on the way, I ran into a young man with blood on his body. I saw no one around. So he asked Uncle Liu to quietly put the man on the shaft of the car, covered it with a tarpaulin, and wanted to go a little to the mountain, and asked the abbot to take care of him.

Unexpectedly, I happened to meet my father who came down from the mountain. My father said that the master had recently gone out for alms, and no one on the mountain could heal him, so he and my father sent him to Uncle Fang's medical center. "

Yang Hegao still frowned when he heard it: "It's too reckless, what if that person stopped there on purpose to commit crimes? If it's really a villain, you have a chance, how can you ask your husband to live?"

A Yun raised his chin and said with reason: "Of course Uncle Liu and I observed secretly for a long time, and only when we found that there was no danger, we came to help!"

Yang Hegao knew that Ah Yun was smart, but he still worried and told him a few words: "Stop interacting with that person, I heard you said that the injury is not light, and the sword injury and sword injury must be caused by provoking a terrific enemy. Sending him to the medical clinic is the most benevolent, don't be stupid to investigate the cause and effect inside."

Ayun nodded again and again: "It's natural, saving him is out of good intentions, but there is no reason for us to spend money and work hard, and we are also stained with taint."

Yang Hegao showed a gratified old father smile, thinking that Ah Yun is well-behaved and obedient, soft and cute, just like the younger sister in his dreams, so he couldn't help but promise: "I'll make you some rice balls later."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the two to react, he quickly jumped out of the carriage and ran towards the rice noodle shop.

Two years ago, Shi Yan handed over the management of the rice noodle shop to Yang Hegao. He seldom goes there on weekdays, so he lives more freely.This time, if the master abbot hadn't gone out for alms, he could have stayed on the mountain for half a month.

Sometimes Ah Yun would suspect that her father wanted to become a monk.

There were only father and daughter left in the carriage, and Ayun leaned against his father, chattering about what he had seen and heard when he went back to Meixi Garden: "Mr. said that he came to Bai'an to look for you after finishing the matter at hand, and complained that you are the biggest in the world." After giving him the recipe, he is no longer the caring and iron-hearted Wangnian friend he used to be, and he doesn't even want to see him when he is sick!"

Shi Yan snorted coldly: "I compensate him with my own daughter and let her serve him, isn't that enough?"

Ayun giggled, but he didn't take it seriously, and said: "Mr. guessed that you would say that, and asked me to tell you that you want to compensate him with your son, but he doesn't want it!"

Speaking of this, Shi Yan was dumbfounded. Mr. Mei had taught the two children seriously for several years, and finally asked to accept Ayun as a closed disciple two years ago. Maybe it was because of Ayun's talent, or because Shi Yan had a new I got the recipe, anyway, at the same time as accepting apprentices, I want Ah Yun to present the recipe as a teacher apprenticeship ceremony.

Shi Yan rolled his eyes and said: "Anyway, teaching one is teaching, and teaching two is also teaching. Why don't you take my son together!"

Elder Mei also rolled his eyes and said: "Being your son's husband for so many years is not enough, you are greedy!"

At that time, Shi Yan didn't say much, who knew that after his daughter became a teacher, he packed his son and daughter together and threw them to Mr. Mei. I don't know, how can Mr. Mei really ignore such a big child?

What can I do?

Teach me!

Being eaten to death by Shi Yan, it can only be said to take advantage of it.Bai taught Xiaobao for several years, but he didn't even get a master-student status.

This is also the reason why Ayun called Mr. Mei, and when he heard that he was sick, he went to take care of the sick, and Mr. Mei tried his best to assign homework to Xiaobao, but did not admit that Xiaobao was his apprentice.

Ayun didn't comment on the relationship between her father and husband, and leaned against her father happily: "Daddy, I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs, glutinous rice cakes, and steamed eggs with hibiscus."

Before she finished speaking, her father suddenly said: "I forgot to tell Doctor Fang to cook some light porridge for that young man."

Ayun dissatisfied: "Daddy, why are you like this? I haven't seen you for a few days, and you don't care about your daughter at all."

Last time she went to live in Meixi Garden, and when she came home, her father cooked for her a table of dishes that she liked. How long has passed, and her father changed his mind so quickly!

Shi Yan glanced at her daughter with a complicated expression: "Okay, I'll make it for you when I get home."

Girlfriend, that's the male lead, and you don't even have the slightest sense of being a female lead. It seems that you have taught me well these years, veteran Mei. You may consider sending a new cookbook to me later.
