Self-cultivation of male support

Shi Yan had to leave Bai'an to go to the capital recently, and was robbed by Mrs. Liu who came prepared on the way. Mrs. Liu brought several carts of medicinal materials and midwives and doctors from everywhere, and insisted on following Shi Yan. son to the capital.

Worried about Shi Yan's refusal, he said directly, "Sir, your great kindness to me and He Gao, we mother and child will never be repaid in this life, and Xiao Bao's first child is born, so I have to see with my own eyes that everything is safe before I can feel at ease."

Mrs. Liu is already a shopkeeper of Liu Da who is well-known in the south of the Yangtze River. Outsiders don't know her relationship with He Gao, and they call their mother and son North Yang and South Liu. Together, the two of them accounted for almost [-]% of the business in the South and North Roads. When the character came to Shi Yan, apart from being fresh and confident, his attitude towards Shi Yan was the same as before.

In Liu Niangzi's heart, she regards Shi Yan's two children as her juniors and loves them. Although she has been traveling around all the year round, but after all these years, whatever He Gao has, the two children must also have it. There is no difference. trip.

Shi Yan also knew this truth, so he didn't refuse, he walked very calmly along the way, without any anxiety, he should walk, he should stop, seeing Liu Niangzi, who was determined to reach the capital as soon as possible, got angry.Especially when there were still five days away from the capital, a letter from the capital was suddenly received, saying that Xiaobao's daughter-in-law was showing signs of premature birth, and Lady Liu was even more anxious, but Shiyan was the same as always, and she didn't even have the slightest intention of speeding up.

Mrs. Liu was spinning anxiously. To be honest, if she hadn't clearly known that Xiaobao was born by Shi Yan, Mrs. Liu would have said to Shi Yan's face, "The most cruel is the heart of a stepfather"

Shi Yan was annoyed by Mrs. Liu shaking in front of her eyes, so she kindly explained, "Don't worry, I guarantee that adults and children will be fine, don't worry."

Who would have thought that Liu Niangzi's anger was directed at Shi Yan when she opened her mouth, "Co-author, you really know how to become an immortal, and you can pinch it. Forget it, it's really big if you don't care about it."

Shi Yan ""

Forget it, it's better not to explain, seeing that the other party is getting angry in a hurry, and he has to work hard to create a death stare expression, it is very difficult, Shi Yan no longer makes things difficult for others, and directly orders the team to speed up.

When we arrived in the capital, everything was as Shi Yan said, the mother and child were safe, it was just a false alarm that day, but Mrs. Liu did not intend to apologize to Shi Yan. To be honest, Mrs. Liu felt that Shi Yan was too calm in this matter. After a while, the attitude towards the two children in peacetime is completely different, which makes her very puzzled.She was also worried that Shi Yan's casual attitude would make Xiaobao's wife and natal family have something in their minds, so she tried to make up for Shi Yan.

When Shi Yan saw that Liu Niangzi acted like this, she didn't stop her. In the final analysis, it was all for the benefit of the child, each had its own reasons, and it was impossible to tell right from wrong.

Just based on the large boxes of ledgers sent to Xiaobao's daughter-in-law every year, he believed that his daughter-in-law's natal family would not have a bad word to say.

Although money is not omnipotent, it can indeed solve most of the troubles. Otherwise, in just three years, how could the clan accept Xiaobao as the son-in-law of the county prince's mansion so quickly? What about the cold and heartless heart of the clan?

"Hey, it's up to you, dad?" Xiao Bao approached Shi Yan and acted coquettishly to please him. Seeing no one around, he said in a low voice, "You just gave the emperor a sum of money in private last month, and the official department will take discretion." I have promoted my son, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he is at the fourth rank, and he has been promoted to three ranks within three years, I don’t know how many people are jealous."

He said with emotion, "Hey, this official is too expensive to come."

Thinking that the money given to the emperor can be piled up to build a super-scale grave for him to properly bury himself, Xiaobao felt a little discouraged for no reason, "Father, you don't know how many people in the court are trying their best to find their son day and night." The person behind it, who would have thought it was you? Do you think our original decision was wrong?"

Shi Yan rubbed his son's head. In fact, this kid has not had an easy life in recent years. Although he has the ability to push people up, but to be able to sit firmly in that position, the brat also spends a lot of effort, otherwise he would not In such an environment, it is still easy to mix.So I decided to tell the other party a fact, "Oh, I think too much, do you know where our main business is now?"

"south"

"The fault is the neighboring countries"

Xiaobao was dumbfounded, and couldn't believe what he heard. It was less than three years since the last time the family made a decision. His father and Brother He Gao secretly made such a big deal, not only hiding it from him You can imagine how difficult it is to hide it from the court and the emperor with your sister, but Xiao Bao felt that it was impossible to leave it to his father.

Thinking about the country his father and Brother He Gao had brought down, Xiaobao felt that the burden on his shoulders was a bit heavier, and thinking about the things he had discussed with his father-in-law a few days ago, he made up his mind.Getting closer to Shi Yan, like a child, he insisted on dragging someone to the academy to enjoy his sister's demeanor of fighting with the Confucian scholars and giving lectures.

Shi Yan glanced at his son keenly. He always felt that this brat was hiding something from him, but he also felt that it was not a big deal. The kid should have his own when he grows up, so he didn't care. As soon as he came out, he was dumbfounded.

"You know, dad doesn't care about these things." Shi Yan said helplessly to his son with his fresh grandson in his arms.

But Xiaobao insisted, "Father, I know you don't care, but my son does, so let the child be named Xu. My son, Ah Zhao, and father-in-law have discussed it, and they have no objection."

The prince of the county is a very open-minded person, not to mention that he really values ​​Miao Zhongju as a son-in-law, and he deeply feels that his son-in-law's character is worthless.As far as interests are concerned, if the grandson’s surname is Xu, then he is not his grandson, or if the grandson’s surname is Xu, he will not be filial to his parents in the future, and will not help his brothers and sisters, so the in-laws will not be the kind of foolish people

The prince of the county can think about it, and his daughter Azhao thinks even more. In the past few years, the account books sent to her by her father-in-law alone are like several large boxes, which are more than dozens of times the dowry given by her own father. Not to mention, Just for the sake of money, what's the matter with letting the child's surname be Xu? Why don't we still call Shiyan Grandpa and their husband and wife Father and Mother?

The attitudes of several people were firm, especially the way Xiaobao looked at Shi Yan, for fear of being rejected by Shi Yan, it was really pitiful. Shi Yan sighed in his heart, knowing that this was a bitter trick, but also knowing that it was his son's heart disease, so he calmed down Accepted his son's kindness.

So Xu Jizu became the first child of Miao and Xu's family. When the letter was sent back to Bai'an County, Mrs. Miao shut herself in her room in silence for an entire afternoon. After she came out, she said to Aunt Liu, "Help me to the ancestral hall. The old man said, so that he will not be the next one to think about it, and come up and harm the children."

In fact, Xiaobao's idea was to kill first and play later. Although it was his fault for not discussing with grandma beforehand, he did not regret this matter.

Have a clear conscience.

Xu Jizu, who had a clear conscience, had a younger brother Miao Jici who cried all day in the second year.

It was also in this year that Zhou Jin was nominated on the gold list, a high school prospect, and Miao Kaiyun was twenty-two, becoming a force that no one could ignore in the literary world.Then when everyone fell below their eyes again, the two families tied the knot.

Over the past few years, everyone in Beijing found that this family had too many wonderful operations, and they didn't know what to say to express their inner confusion. In the end, only four words were left.

After the daughter got married, Shi Yan hugged his little grandson to continue his speech, and his son-in-law Zhou Jin hugged his stepfather. Weng and his son-in-law were chatting, and when they mentioned something, Shi Yan felt a toothache, "I heard that you had some friction with General Lu yesterday."

More than just friction, the two disagreed, and they started fighting in the street. Although Zhou Jin was not a powerless scholar, Lu Hanhai's fists honed on the battlefield were not something Zhou Jin could beat. After the trick, Zhou Jin was almost pushed to the ground and rubbed against each other. If the street patrol officers hadn't stopped them in time, the two of them would have gone into trouble.

But Zhou Jin would not say these things. As a child who grew up next to his father-in-law, he knew what he should do at this time, so he sued with a single mouth, "Sir, you know, the old man named Lu is really disturbed and kind." , These years, my sister is not married, and he is not married, and outsiders say that he has a deep affection for my sister, I'm sorry"

Zhou Jin wanted to file a complaint with Shi Yan, but she was so angry with herself, "It's all nonsense, and it's just for nothing to tarnish my sister's reputation, who is pretending to show it? Disgusting man, he didn't marry a wife, but there are still few concubines in the backyard Did he delay his having fun and give birth to a son? Instead, he let the rumors spread all over the sky.

Yesterday he even had the face to provoke me, saying that I am not worthy of my sister, I am not worthy of him, can he be worthy of an old man? Sir, can you tell me whether he should be beaten?"

What Zhou Jin said was a bit exaggerated. Lu Hanhai did not marry a wife. Shi Yan believed that he still had some thoughts on Ayun, but more of them were up for grabs. It would be too much to say that he has deep love and no regrets. Yes, but Shi Yan is good at this. He protected his shortcomings, so he gave his son-in-law a look of "I understand", left the mansion late at night, passed through the layers of restrictions in the general's mansion, and quietly left behind in Lu Hanhai's study. His own mark.

Lu Hanhai is a smart man. After seeing it, he naturally understood Shi Yan's warning. How did you deal with him?"

Shi Yan, as a person who can't carry his shoulders or lift his hands, can he tell his son-in-law the truth? Obviously he can't, so he showed an inscrutable look in his eyes, and let the little son-in-law understand the rest.

Zhou Jin was really fooled, she kept silent and showed admiration towards Yue Zhang.

When Shi Yan saw that his son-in-law was so foolish, he couldn't help shaking his head in his heart. He felt that he was a young man, and he still needed a few years of experience in the officialdom.On the other hand, Xiaobao, the little junior brother in the past has become a brother-in-law, and he is somewhat unconvinced. Zhou Jin's eyes are always unfriendly, and today it is even worse.

Shi Yan snorted, "If a person knows how warm or cold the drinking water is, then the two of them can do it if they think it's right. By the way, your sister agreed to come over at noon today, and we'll have a meal together as a family."

Xiaobao suddenly became alert, "Do you want to go out again?"

Shi Yan didn't hide it, and directly nodded and admitted, "Yes, Mr. Mei is not in good health, and wants to go out for a walk at the end. We have an appointment with the great monk, and it doesn't matter where we go."

Xiaobao knew that the great monk was the abbot of a temple outside the city of Bai'an County, and he didn't know the fate. The three established a deep friendship.He knew that the reason given by his father could not be refused, and he could only watch helplessly as his father left them again and flew away happily.

When Shi Yan left, he saw off Mr. Mei and Mrs. Miao intermittently. The elders who needed his care were all gone, and the juniors also stood up without him worrying about them. They walked even farther. One or two years, sometimes years, may not be able to receive a letter from him, but the people close to him never miss his news.

How to say that sentence means that he is not in the Jianghu, and his legends are everywhere in the Jianghu.

Just in response to this sentence, there are stories about them everywhere in the rivers and lakes and in the market place, saying that the monk was preaching together in the northern country, and almost split the small country into two factions.It is said that the monk burned crystals together in the desert country, and attracted a whole city of people to follow him crazily.It is said that the monk dug together the bull's head gold in the miasma forest in the south of Lingnan, which attracted countless bandits and fought for three days and three nights.

The story is true or false, but as long as the family hears a new story, they can feel at ease knowing that Shi Yan is not only alive, but also more comfortable than any of them.

Although none of them understood, how did Shi Yan become a monk when he was good?

Shi Yan himself didn't understand this question, but he didn't resist. In fact, wherever he and the great monk went these years, the Xu family's caravan followed. The influence of Shi Yan has secretly developed to all kinds of weird horned Gadas. Now it is very inappropriate to simply say that Shi Yan is a businessman.

In the words of the Great Monk, "One word can break the line of the country."

It's not scaremongering, if Shi Yan said now that he wants to become an emperor, it can be realized at any time. The key is that the unlucky ones who are about to be kicked off the throne by him will probably not be aware of it in advance.

The two of them suddenly decided to go to sea one day, and they really went when they were ready.Later, when playing overseas, the wind flourished, and when they went out to sea along the coast instead of worshiping the sea god, they worshiped these two people instead, and the family members far away in the capital were not surprised at all.

The younger generation in the family grew up listening to the legend of their grandfather. The children often get together and fight because the grandfather they imagined is different from what others imagined. Fighting is also a kind of fun, but When they were over ten years old and were taken by their grandfather to run around the world one by one, they gradually realized that the grandfather was beyond anyone's imagination. I can't describe it simply in words.

When the children of several families were at the age when chickens hated dogs, their favorite person was grandfather Shi Yan, and only Shi Yan could tidy them up obediently.Gradually, Shi Yan would keep some of these children, send some back, and let them go out on their own, until all the things at hand were handed over to the next generation.

This commercial empire lurking underground, when it was in the hands of Shi Yan, never really revealed its ferociousness and horror in front of people. When it was handed over to the next generation, it was split up several times and controlled to the point where manpower could restore it. .

On the bright side, Shi Yan's family property distributed to the children can be regarded as rich, but it is by no means rich. In the eyes of outsiders, the Xu and Miao families are just too lucky. The middle class is like a duck to water, and their business is doing well within the country. No one knows how much gold and silver their family will give to the court and the emperor every year.

As for how the descendants of future generations will treat this overwhelming wealth, whether it is a blessing or a curse, it is God's will, and Shi Yan does not force it.

Until one day, the gray-haired Shi Yan suddenly said to Xiao Jia who hadn't contacted for a long time, "Counting before the group transfer, this is the first mission."

Xiaojia, who was playing games in the small black room, was suddenly pulled out forcibly, still a little dazed, subconsciously said "81."

Shi Yan chuckled, facing the surging river, said, "That's right, so next time, I can really be myself and start from scratch."

Xiaojia's reaction this time was extremely quick, she was silent for a moment, and couldn't help crying, "There is a rule in the Bureau that if you successfully complete 81 missions, you will have the opportunity to be reincarnated as a human being, but it has been hundreds of years, and you never mentioned it, I I thought you didn’t care, is it okay to be like this all the time? We’ve been partners since hundreds of years ago, eternal life, we’ve been together forever, okay?”

As if afraid of hearing the voice of refusal, Xiao Jia said anxiously, "Besides, when your body died, you were brought back to the fast-passing game because of your strong unwillingness. You obviously don't want to die, but you can do something Go back to yourself, and you will really die."

Shi Yan sighed softly, and tolerated him like a younger brother who was playing a temper, "Xiao Jia, you know what I want, you have always known it, otherwise you will not become more and more silent in the last few tasks, you are very strong, right?"

Xiaojia began to use his best coquetry to roll around, "I'm not strong, don't separate, don't, woo woo, don't you want to abandon me, you really are a scumbag"

Shi Yan didn't say anything, and let Xiao Jia mess around until half an hour later, Xiao Jia couldn't move anymore, and then said slowly, "Don't be afraid, Xiao Jia, you are very powerful, you have grown up."

Xiao Jia seemed to know that it could not change Shi Yan's mind after all, and said aggrievedly, "But, I will miss you."

Shi Yan was more patient than ever, and coaxed him to "there are only a handful of people who are close friends in his life" 1

Xiao Jia was coaxed by him a little bit, awkwardly and curiously asked, "Am I your confidant?"

Shi Yan nodded, "Naturally."

One person suddenly fell into a brief silence, watching the waves roll, and the experience of the previous hundreds of years flashed in front of Shi Yan one by one. Although he experienced other people's lives, he gained a lot. The resentment is gone, and the heart has gained an unprecedented peace.

So he smiled and said to Xiaojia, "The green hills will not change, and the green waters will flow forever, so let's just leave."
