Self-cultivation of male support

Shi Yan stared at the 12-year-old boy in front of him, and felt that he did have the ability to be a hero, whether it was the drive to not give up until he reached his goal, or the vision of his heart, or the spirit of bearing humiliation and calming down during this period of time, It's not easy at this age.

If he uses this scheming and patience on others, Shi Yan can continue to appreciate him, but when this method is used on himself, Shi Yan's heart will not be so beautiful.

The only reason for being patient with this kid is that he can grow into a brave and powerful general on the battlefield in the future, and he has made many sacrifices and efforts to defend the border.

Apparently Lu Hanhai didn't know what Shi Yan was thinking. With a smile on his face, he tried his best to show off his advantages, trying to persuade Shi Yan to accept him as a disciple, and even revealed his identity to Shi Yan. On the way, he was hunted down by enemies, and it is very dangerous to easily reveal his identity. Being able to do this represents his extreme trust in Shi Yan, and he believes that Shi Yan can understand this.

Of course Shi Yan understood, not only did he understand that the person who chased and killed Lu Hanhai has not been heard from since he entered Bai'an County, and it was also his handwriting. Shi Yan asked Yang Hegao to solve it in private.

Lu Hanhai said: "Mr. Xu, what I said last time was true, and what I said this time is also true. I sincerely want to worship you as my teacher, and I will treat you like a parent and son like a father in the future, so as to carry forward the inheritance of the Xu family."

Shi Yan directly ignored the burning eyes from the people brought by Lu Hanhai, and calmly refused: "Xu is just a small businessman, I really don't know how to teach Mr. Lu. I didn't know Mr. Lu's identity in the past, so let Mr. Lu be with me. The Xu family has suffered many grievances, so someone Xu is here to offend Mr. Lu."

He said sorry on his lips, but he didn't look apologetic at all, and he was even a little impatient.

He said and glanced outside: "It's getting late."

The implication is that it's time to hit the road, don't chatter at my house.

Seeing that Shi Yan was so reticent, Lu Hanhai didn't show any impatience, he looked like he knew it would happen, and the brows of the people who followed him were about to jump up. It was obvious that he was so surprised, he had never seen it before. There are still people who can refuse the name of their general.

I don't know if this person is courageous or ignorant and fearless.

But no matter what it is, he has no place to speak here. Before coming here, the general explained that he should bring Mr. Lu back safely, and there is no need to interfere with other things. He listened more, watched more and talked less. Eyes and ears without a mouth.

Even so, he was still shocked for a moment at the next moment, because he saw Young Master Lu kneeling down and begging Mr. Xu to accept him as a disciple, and said: "If Mr. Xu refuses to agree, Han Hai will never get up."

You must know that the Lu family boy is famous for his stubbornness and pride in the military camp. When he was young, he was beaten to pieces by his father and he didn't say a word of softness, which made everyone have a deep understanding of his temperament.Facing this person today, kneeling down so easily is really unexpected.

Shi Yan sneered: "Threatening me?"

Lu Hanhai straightened his spine and looked up at Shi Yan, his eyes full of stubbornness and seriousness: "Sir, Han Hai is sincere."

Shi Yan thought, if this were applied to other male protagonists, it would be a way of persevering and sincerely touching the masters of the world, gaining the approval of the masters, and obtaining the routine of peerless secret books.Shi Yan's jaw dropped, and he felt that this method was not bad, but he might be able to improve it a little bit.

So the coldness in his eyes was withdrawn, and he said without any emotion: "It is impossible to accept you as a disciple, even if you kneel until you grow old, there is no doubt about it."

Don’t be so beautiful, you boy, you became my apprentice, indirectly connected with Meijia Academy, and many scholars in the world, you are a military general, and you are united with scholars, what do you want to do?

Without waiting for Lu Hanhai to say more, he continued: "I have half of the military book here, and I will pass it on to you today. I hope you will study it carefully and show what you have learned on the battlefield in the future. The acquaintance between you and me will not be in vain. As for the relationship between master and apprentice." language, don’t say it again in the future.”

Lu Hanhai was rejected by Shi Yan one after another, and he could already see the impatience in Shi Yan's eyes. He knew that he could not continue to entangle today. There is still a way to make my husband know his own good all the time.

As for why there are only half of the military books, he didn't think much about it. A good military book is like a drop in the ocean. No matter which school it comes from, it is a precious and important thing. It depends on the irreversible relationship between the two parties to be able to easily see it. Donate half of the copy directly.

Besides, with the passage of time, it is not easy to keep half of such good things at home. It is very likely that the husband only has half of them.

He believed that what Mr. Xu brought out was definitely not something to fool people.

Although he guessed that what Mr. Xu brought out was a good thing, when he read it carefully, he was shocked by the content of the military book again. He already knew that this was definitely a treasure that could be handed down from generation to generation.

At this moment, in Lu Hanhai's heart, Shi Yan's ability has once again increased by a few percent. A person who can casually send out such things is by no means as simple as a merchant living in seclusion in Xiaobaian County, so he is even more determined to worship him. Shi Yan's idea of ​​being a teacher.

If you want to ask him why he didn't go back to the general, and then find a famous gentleman to teach him, the reason is that he knows in his heart that his current status is very embarrassing, and a good gentleman will not do his best to help him, but take the initiative to lean on him It's not what he needs, and besides the help those people can give him, who can be like Mr. Xu?

Lu Hanhai made up his mind that when he returned to the general, he must find a way to ask the general to come forward, and personally help him to ask for this gentleman.

So he simply thanked Shi Yan for half of his military book, and followed the person who came to find him.

Ayun was still puzzled: "The daughter of the book of war has also read it. There is a whole book, so why did daddy only give him the first half? Didn't you say that Lu Hanhai is a natural general? If that's the case, give him the whole book and let him read it." Wouldn't it be good for the Art of War to maximize its value in his hands?"

Shi Yan held a book in his hand, took a closer look, and found that it was the remaining half of the military book, and knocked on the girl's head: "Even if he is a natural general, he is just an immature general now, and he has never seen it before. He is just a young man who is dangerous on the battlefield. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and what the future will look like depends on his fortune."

As he spoke, he weighed the book of war in his hand, thinking that some things were given too much at one time, and it was easy to promote kindness and hatred against misfortune. This thing is much more interesting in the hands of some people than in the hands of that kid.

Ayun didn't understand what her father was thinking, and simply felt that what her father said made sense.After studying with the teacher for the past few years, she has more contemporary theories in her bones.

My family's collection can be viewed by my own family, but why give it to outsiders for nothing?For example, some books in the teacher's collection can only be read by people who have reached a certain status and take out corresponding things in exchange. Outsiders want to borrow them?That is dreaming.

In his bones, he never had the idea of ​​trying his best to train a general who would end the war for the sake of the people at the frontier and to end the war as soon as possible.

In Ayun's view, wars are endless. Whether it is a famine era or a peaceful and prosperous age, as long as there are people, there will be conflicts of interests, and conflicts of interests will lead to wars. Relying on one's own strength to end a war is nothing but a dream. Be practical.

Shi Yan is very satisfied that her daughter has not given birth to an ambition to save the world, it is enough to pursue the goal down-to-earth, and unrealistic ideas are a disaster rather than a blessing.

So after dismissing his daughter, he called Yang Hegao, pushed the remaining half of the military book over, and whispered in such a way, Yang Hegao's face turned pale at first, then his brows twitched, and then he seemed to be numb. All that was left was nodding again and again, and his expression became calm again.

If you ignore the state of his feet fluttering before leaving, it is no different from being sent by Shi Yan to inspect the business of shops in other places.

Speaking of Shi Yan's current family property, Lu Hanhai's idea was correct before. Although there is no inexhaustible gold and silver mountains, but with the expansion of the bodyguard bureau, Dawan rice noodle shops have opened all over the country, and all the way out from From south to north, there are strongholds of large bowls of rice noodles in large and small towns.

Liu Niangzi led a group of women's soldiers and half-grown children, and the business was booming. While they were running the rice noodle shop, they also did many seemingly inconspicuous small businesses.

Their people never look for a store with a good location on the street, nor do they pursue a spacious and bright store area. They only choose a corner where three or five people can sit in that inconspicuous place, and sell the goods brought by distant relatives and merchants. Silk and satin cloth, rare ornaments, needles and threads, rice noodles, grain and oil, and sometimes scattered melons, fruits and vegetables from different places. It seems that they are not very particular, and they sell what they have.

After the business is started, only one and a half children or old and weak women and children can be opened, and there are more than a dozen such shops in a small town like Bai'an County.

Outsiders only think that they can't do big business, relying on relatives in business to help them earn a living and beg for food, and they don't make it difficult.

So the Escort Bureau brought some private goods along with the escorts, so that the goods between the north and the south could be circulated conveniently. The investment was small and the profit was large, and it was still a business that no one else could replicate.

No one can imagine how many such small shops there are in the whole country, and how much gold and silver income they have brought to Shi Yan.

As for the trivial things here, Shi Yan was still in charge of them a few years ago, and later Yang Hegao took over, so he threw them all to him. Shi Yan only occasionally checked the accounts and made the general development plan.

Outsiders don't know that Xu Xiucai from Bai'an County is a business tycoon in private, and how many people eat in his hands. They also don't know that the guy who looks tall and honest, took over Xu Xiucai's class, and surrounds the rice noodle shop and sauerkraut all day Yang Hegao, who is spinning around, how many gold and silver ledgers are passed through his hands every day.

Even the old lady Miao, who lives under the same roof, doesn't know the actual financial situation of her son-in-law. Anyway, her old lady is not short of food and clothing, and when she goes out occasionally, even the wife of the magistrate's family talks to her It is also polite and content.

The few children in the family are at an age where they are foolish and carefree. They don't think about these things at all. They didn't make any excessive demands at home. When they should, they will prepare them in advance. If you open your mouth, you will be ruthlessly rejected by Shi Yan.Children who have never worried about money at all do not know the importance of this thing.

As for the decorations that have been gradually replaced at home in the past few years, they can be seen everywhere, seemingly random, but in fact they are elaborate and valuable. A group of people who don’t know the goods can’t notice anything special. It looks even older than before.

Yang He has a deep feeling for this point. He thinks that maybe the different attitude towards foreign objects is the huge gap between him and his husband. He will never be able to treat money like nothing like his husband.

He clearly remembered that after the house was replaced with furniture that looked a little old to the children, Xiaobao used a slingshot more than once to break the waist-pinched vase from the period of Emperor Yong of the previous dynasty, the plate with silk from the period of Emperor Wen, and secretly used it. In the cloud jewelry box, she was exiled from the imperial palace before, and she didn't like the Dongzhu necklace tied to the bird cage at all.

And Ah Yun didn't give up too much, he didn't know which book he learned from using crystals to do magnification experiments, and accidentally burned half a box of manuscripts of former prime ministers.Later, I picked up a short-tailed puppy from the street, which was dirty and dying. In order to make a nest for the puppy, I washed the Daqianchao jade basin newly bought by my husband in water and threw it in the yard for disinfection. And put on a warm mattress.

Yang Hegao's heart was about to break when he saw it. Mr. Yupen spent ten taels of silver to pick it up from the street. Handle it carefully. At least it is worth tens of thousands of taels. It's just that the husband didn't spare it in the study. Just deal with it, just be ruined like that, waste everything!

At that time, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he felt breathless as he clutched his chest. He felt that his husband might get angry, and he had to endure the pain in his heart and think about how to persuade him to look away.

Look at the fart, he can't look at it himself, how can he persuade others to look at it!

Unexpectedly, the gentleman was very calm, and casually asked someone to replace it with a more old-looking and more valuable ornament, and lightly told the children: "The old things in our house are all flammable and fragile, and they must not be touched. No, be careful in the future."

The result of lightly exposing it was that the children in the family thought that their family only lived on a rice noodle shop to support so many people, and they also had to help the uncles in the escort agency from time to time, so they were very poor.

Because I can't afford new ones, I can only use old ones, so I learned to cherish the few possessions in my family.

Yang Hegao said in his heart that it was a blessing in disguise, and he was about to die of heart palpitations after watching it. He was too big-hearted and only enjoyed the fun of collecting things, but he didn't care about the value of the things themselves.

Of course, Shi Yan doesn't know what Yang Hegao thinks. Some things, such as aesthetics, such as vision, need to be cultivated slowly over many years.

When the children were young, they felt that the things at home were outdated and inconspicuous, and that they were not as good-looking as new ones made by other people. But after a long time, when the daughter came back from other people's house to enjoy flowers, wine and treasures, she would hold his hand and tell him quietly: "Daddy, daughter I feel that sister Wang's newly acquired craftsmanship of colorful phoenix screws and emerald jade hairpins does not seem to be as exquisite as that in my daughter's jewelry box."

After tasting tea with Renpinshi outside, the son said to him with some doubts: "Brother Liu said that he has a rare copy of the previous dynasty masters in his hand, which he stole from his grandfather. He opened our eyes and only asked us to read it." I read two pages of it, but I clearly remember that we have it in our study room. Brother He Gao took us to read it together when we were young, and there is a little turtle I drew on it! Am I wrong? "

Once these things are cultivated, even if the children don't know how much the outside things are worth, they will naturally compare them in their hearts when they see ordinary things: "This one is not as good as the ones at home, and this one is not as good as the ones at home. This one is barely the same as the one at home."

Shiyan doesn't need children to become master connoisseurs, nor does it need children to be able to tell the place of origin, workmanship, and year of an object in a straightforward manner. Professionals can do these things.If you really like it, it’s okay to become a hobby, and if you treat it as a coursework or a career, it’s not necessary.

As long as they know good and bad on the basis he gave, it is enough not to be blinded by a few good words from others.

He didn't elevate his children's aesthetics and vision too high at all, so that in their later life, it would be difficult for them to be moved by ordinary foreign things consciously. Shi Yan often regarded himself as an ordinary scholar.

He often said to the children: "Our family is just an ordinary merchant's family. It is more than enough than the top and the bottom is more than the bottom. Dad has no ability to let you live a happy and carefree life, but you can work hard to see if you can do it." Before dad goes into the coffin, let dad live a good life of being happy with his grandchildren."

When he was talking, there was a light of anticipation in Yan's eyes, and the two children who watched were excited and excited, and they clenched their fists and vowed to let their father live the good life he expected.For this reason, Xiaobao is more serious about studying, and Ayun is also working hard to defeat the Mei family's blind Bibi and gain everyone's respect.

Shi Yan seemed to have discovered a new motivational code. When the two children were slack, they repeated the words full of hope. What they said was pitiful, as if he had already stepped into the coffin with one foot and buried half of his body. When he enters the loess, he waits for his breath to come up and die, but his children have no intention of working hard. He has never had a good day in his life, and he is full of regrets, as if he will be gone the next moment.

It made the two children teary, and they couldn't stop studying for a long time as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Old Mei said to Shi Yan dissatisfied: "They are all good boys, why are you teasing them like this?"

Shi Yan doesn't do anything, but simply enjoys the fun of the bear's parent punishing the bear child.

But you can't say this in front of Mei Lao, and said: "Naturally, it is to let them know that youth is precious, and they should not be wasted. Only by suffering through hardships can they become a superior person. Tomorrow they will thank today for their hard work. of myself."

This is so slick, as if it has been said a thousand times, Mr. Mei was not sure whether it was Shi Yan's truth, but there was one thing he felt that Shi Yan did right and needed to be sure: "Don't reveal your wealth, don't let your children It is good that we develop a disposition of extravagance and voluptuousness."

He especially likes the simple and down-to-earth manner of the two children of Shi Yan's family, who can go to the hall and go to the kitchen. Look, he thinks it's cute and tight.

Shi Yan didn't admit that his family was rich, even if he knew that Mrs. Mei knew everything, he couldn't admit it: "What are you talking about, our family's money is not rich if it is piled up in front of the children. !"

Mr. Mei didn't try to expose it forcibly, but he knew in his heart that not everyone who raises children according to Shi Yan's method can raise a child like Ayun Xiaobao. Shi Yan's method seems random, but the two children are easy to get married With Swish Swish's petty temperament, the two children will be forced to become nerds who only know how to read, without the slightest aura.

It is difficult to determine the proportions, not everyone can do it, and not everyone has the quiet financial resources to support it.
