Self-cultivation of male support

With the help of the villagers, Old Man Li's funeral was managed fairly decently.

After all the matters were over, Shi Yan brought up the matter of leaving the clan again. Sure enough, several elders headed by the seventh uncle shook their heads one after another: "It's impossible to leave the clan. If you leave the clan, even if it's not your fault, in the eyes of outsiders It's also your fault.

And if you continue the imperial examination in the future, you must state the net worth of the three generations of your ancestors, and your status as a descendant, which will be very detrimental to your official career! "

Shi Yanxin said, how can I not know this?

Seeing Shi Yan's sullen face, as if he had accepted the reason for death and was heartbroken by his family, the elders of the clan made another suggestion: "If you really don't want to continue living with your mother and the others, there is nothing you can do.

After all, your brother is sixteen this year, he is already a child, and he seems to be talented in reading. Tie Dan, at your age, has already helped support the family and borne most of the family's expenses.

I think your brother can do it too. "

Shi Yanxin said, isn't this just talking nonsense with your eyes open?Which scholar these days is not a gold swallowing beast?

A scholar can empty out the wealth of a well-to-do family, causing the family's living standard to drop sharply, and the whole family will follow suit.There are only a few people like Shi Yan who live frugally and spend day and night trying to find ways to make money for their family.

Li Shimo's behavior is the normal majority.

But Shi Yan has an honest and honest appearance of a scholar on his face, Wei Wei should be like that.

Although Shi Yan was very honest and honest, none of the people here thought that he was really easy to bully. Looking at Old Man Li's funeral, Shi Yan's control over the world showed that he was a man with a plan.

An elder stroked his beard and said to Shi Yan with a sad face: "You have made up your mind, it is useless for us to talk more, but you must not leave the clan."

The whole family finally had a hopeful Jinshi, how could they let him go easily for such a ridiculous reason.

Among other things, the tax-free land under Shi Yanxiu's name alone has saved the village an unknown amount of food over the past year.

If you become a Juren, the whole village's land will be under Shi Yan's name, and the food output will be your own. If you plant the land for one year, the food you get will be the result of two or three years. With strength, who is not jealous?

The elders of the clan are sure that if they let Shi Yan leave the clan, the next door Wangjia Village can let Shi Yan enter their ancestral home of the Wang family.

When these people are thinking clearly, when the clan sponsored him to study, the thoughts of these people

Shi Yan was clear about the plan, but Shi Yan had no choice at that time, and Shi Yan is not the same now.

A clan elder said: "The old man's suggestion is to break off the relationship!"

"That's right, I will invite the elders of the family to come in another day. In the ancestral hall, under the witness of the whole family, let you break off from your mother and brothers, and put forward your name alone, and form a family of your own. From then on, your mother What about your brother, regardless of life, old age, sickness, death, wealth and glory, it has nothing to do with you, how about it?"

Shi Yan asked calmly: "Do you want to go to the Yamen to file for the record?"

The clan elder choked.

Shi Yan snorted coldly.

old fox.

In the final analysis, matters in the clan, if you talk about it, are in charge of this one-third of an acre of land, and outside of the local area, of course, the government's fist is still hard.

Isn't the idea of ​​this group of people that in the future he will become famous and use his mother and elder brother to control him?

Although the relationship is severed, except for the family members, who knows about it?Mrs. Li, Li Shimo and the others made troubles, and they still implicated him. If Li Shimo rebelled with King Dingbei and committed the crime of punishing the nine clans, the government would not care whether Shi Yan broke up with Li Shimo's family under the witness of his clansmen. dear.

Who told you not to file with the government?

Or when these people in the clan make some request to Shi Yan through Mrs. Li, mother and son, and Shi Yan refuses to agree, and if the two sides get into a stalemate, is it because of some reason that the relationship was broken back then, or was Shi Yan merciless and ungrateful, and once developed? Don't care about the life and death of family members?

Right and wrong are twists and turns, or are the people in the clan opening their mouths and saying what they want?

Shi Yan's attitude was firm: "If you don't file with the government, if you leave the three-acre land in Lijia Village and our Jingyuan County, who will recognize the decision made by our family in private?

If you guys don't have a better way, just follow Shi Yan's idea. Shi Yan invited himself out of the clan. Even for this matter, Shi Yan will not make any progress in the imperial examinations, and Shi Yan will have no regrets.

At the very least, Shi Yan still has a share of [-] mu of tax-free land under his name. No matter where he is, with this quota, he will not die of starvation if he receives a little benefit every year.

No matter what, Shi Yan thought, is it better than the current situation? "

A clan elder talked about him from left to right: "Have you ever thought about what to do with Pimple? He is your only son!"

Shi Yan looked at the speaker with a serious expression: "Sixth uncle, you old man is confused. There are no parents in the world. Don't say that Lie Da has no affection for me as a father. He even publicly expressed his hope that I If you die.

Even if he is really filial, I have done my best to him all these years.

not hi

Do you like his sixth uncle?Let's follow his sixth uncle from now on. I will give some money every year, so I won't starve to death.Which of the children of our peasant family can get money every month without having to work?

If Shi Yan could live such a good life back then, he might wake up laughing from his dream. "

The clan elder was not reconciled and said: "Your mother and sixth younger brother will not treat Geda kindly, what if they cheated the money from Geda's hands?"

"That's why he's stupid, he's no different from anyone else. I'll give the third grandpa a tael of silver every month, and ask Geda to go to their house for every meal until Geda.

There will be no shortage of clothes for the four seasons and eight seasons, this is another matter, as for the others, Shiyan is incompetent. "Shi Yan said lightly.

In fact, Yan Yan still has a doubt now, that is, whether Ge Da is the son of the original body.

Some clan elders did not give up: "But Geda is a very smart child, but he was taught to be wrong. As the saying goes, a son does not teach his father's fault, and you are also responsible for this matter. You can't really let it go!"

Shi Yan was too lazy to argue with these people who pretended to be ignorant, and said bluntly: "Then when he reaches the age of enlightenment, send him to ethnology. Whether he is smart or not will be known in two years.

If Mr. Ethnology agrees with his talent and encourages him to continue studying, Shiyan will not take advantage of the tribe, and I will bear all his repairs and monthly expenses for pen, ink, paper and inkstone. "

Isn't it just spending some money?

In Shi Yan's view, it's really not a big deal.

It is very cost-effective to spend dozens of taels of silver every year to buy yourself a good reputation.

Besides, in the plot, Shi Yan's son is a real white-eyed wolf, stupid and poisonous, a mother who has milk, and has no affection for his father.

Behind the fact that Shi Yan was driven back to his hometown and penniless, even he contributed a lot. The reason was that he didn't want people to know that sometimes he was such a father who could not be put on the stage and was not liked by the sixth uncle.

Even after Shi Yan's death, he was the one who gave a few taels of silver to the people who came to report the news at will to send them away, and made people buy Shi Yan a coffin for him to bury at will.

Shi Yan looked respectful, and said impatiently in his tone: "If Shi Yan invites himself to leave the clan, he does not need to obtain the consent of the clan, he only needs to file with the government. If you have no other questions, Shi Yan will take advantage of this It's still early, let's go to the government office."

Several clan elders looked at each other, and finally the seventh uncle said: "You can't leave the clan, we agree to break off the relationship, and go to the government to file!"

Shi Yan nodded in satisfaction, it would have been fine if it hadn't been like this earlier, it's a waste of time to babble for a long time.

As for son

son?I'm sorry, that's Shi Yan's tool man who buys fame, so he doesn't have the slightest emotion.If I have the ability to eat and drink well, I can support him to study unconditionally.

Even a tool man is a tool man who makes countless people envious. Who wouldn't want to be such a tool man?

The divorce matter was handled neatly, and Shi Yan drove to the county seat in a bullock cart on the same day, and filed the record before the county government was released.

As for the opinions of Mrs. Li and the hero Li Shimo?

I'm sorry, after that day, the opinions of these two people are not important in the clan. Even if the two of them closed the door and scolded, the ancestor's coffin could not be suppressed, and they still dare not fart outside one.

At least for now, that's the case.

Coming out of the county government office, the clansman asked Shi Yan with a smile: "Tie Dan, it's getting late, before it's dark, let's go back to the village!"

Shi Yan smiled and said nothing, his figure was covered with a layer of soft light by the afterglow of the setting sun, and the clansmen suddenly discovered that Shi Yan had an aura that they couldn't describe, just like the grand master who controls everything in the drama.

After taking back all the money from Mrs. Li, Shi Yan finally had a second set of unpatched clothes with the help of Aunt Wang's skillful hands.

Since he was still in the period of filial piety, Shi Yan was dressed very plainly, put on new clothes, straightened his back, felt confident, no longer hesitant and helpless, rested well, his complexion recovered, and Shi Yan's overall temperament has undergone earth-shaking changes.

It made the clansmen feel that Shiyan in front of them seemed very far away from them.

"Tie, Tie Dan, what's the matter? Let's go! Uncle Wang's ox cart is still waiting at the gate of the city!"

"No need, you go back, Shi Yan won't go back in the future."

"Here, Tie Dan, are you going to rent a house in the county seat and prepare for the country test? Then you have to go home and pack some luggage!"

After saying that, they suddenly felt a little embarrassed. They had seen it with their own eyes in the courtyard of Li's family that day. In Shi Yan's room, there was a table, a chair, a bed, and three pieces of clothes that couldn't be worn out. There was nothing left. .

Shi Yan didn't care, waved his hands, and walked away with his hands behind his back.

The clansman looked at each other and thought, I feel bad now, so I won't go back if I don't go back, and I will go home sooner or later when the anger subsides.

But no one expected that when Shi Yan said that he would never return in the future, he would never return to Li's Village in this life.

Even if he occasionally passed by Jingyuan County on business, he never set foot in Lijia Village.

Now, Shi Yan went directly to the county school to find Mr. Zhou Lide Zhou.

I am young, but I get along very well with Shi Yan.

A few days ago, he was the one who helped Old Man Li find a monk who chanted scriptures.

Shi Yan didn't have any important purpose in looking for this person, it was that the family affairs were over, and he should say hello to his only confidant and friend, so that the old man would not worry about his family affairs every day.

At the beginning, it was the old man who saw that Shi Yan was living in poverty, so he tried every means to help Shi Yan find a way to make money, so that Shi Yan could support the Li family and his family.

In the plot, the old man is really kind to Shi Yan, the two are also teachers and friends, once wanted to betroth their youngest daughter to Shi Yan, but Shi Yan refused, Yan Ming didn't want to drag down a good girl.
