Self-cultivation of Male Supporting Role

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

After everything was over, Shi Yan raised the issue of leaving the clan again, and sure enough, the elders headed by the seventh uncle shook their heads one after another: "You can't 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 examinations in the future, you must write down the net worth of your ancestors for three generations, and your status as a clan is greatly detrimental to your career! "

Shi Yan said in his heart, can I still not know this?

Seeing Shi Yan's sullen face, as if he had been convinced by the reason of death and was heartbroken by his family, the elders in the clan made another suggestion: "If you really don't want to continue living with your mother and the others, it's not impossible.

After all, your brother is sixteen this year, and he is already a child. He looks like a gifted person in reading. It's ironic that at your age, you have already helped support the family and bear most of the family's expenses.

I think your brother can do it too. "

Shi Yan said in his heart, isn't this just talking nonsense with your eyes open? Which scholar of these years is not a gold-swallowing beast?

A scholar can hollow out the property of a well-off family, causing the family's living standard to drop sharply, and the whole family eats chaff. There are only a few people like Shi Yan who live frugally and find ways to make money for their family day and night.

Li Shimo's style is the normal majority.

But Shi Yan's face looks like a scholar who is honest and honest, only Wei should be.

Although Shi Yan behaved very honestly and honestly, none of the people here thought he was really easy to bully. Just looking at Old Man Li's funeral, Shi Yan showed his control over the world, and he knew that he had a plan in his heart.

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 clan finally has a person who seems to have hope of becoming a jinshi, how can they easily let him go for such ridiculous reasons.

If nothing else, the tax-free fields under Shi Yanxiucai's name alone have saved the village a lot of grain this year.

If you become a juror, the whole village's fields will be put under the name of Shi Yan, and the grain output will be your own. If you plant the land for one year, the grain you get will be the result of two or three years. Powerful, who doesn't get jealous?

Several clan elders are sure that they can let Shi Yan leave the clan on the front foot, and let Shi Yan enter their Wang family ancestral home on the back foot of the Wangjia Village next door.

What these people were thinking was clear when they were inkstones. When the family sponsored him to study, the

It was clear when he planned on Shi Yan, but Shi Yan at that time had no choice, not with the current Shi Yan.

An old clan said: "The old man's suggestion is to cut off the family!"

"That's right, I will invite the elders of the clan someday. In the ancestral hall, under the witness of the whole clan, I will let you cut off your relationship with your mother and brother, and put your name on your own. How about brother, no matter whether you are born, old, sick or dead, wealth, honor and glory, it has nothing to do with you, how?"

Shi Yan asked calmly, "Are you going to the yamen for the record?"

The clan elder choked.

Shi Yan snorted coldly.

old fox.

In the final analysis, the affairs of the clan, speaking of the sky, are in charge of one-third of this acre of land, and out of the locality, of course, the government's fist is hard.

Isn't the idea of ​​this group of people to use his mother and brother to pinch him when he will rise to prominence in the future?

Although the marriage was cut off, but other than the natives, who knows? Mrs. Li and Li Shimo are still implicated in the incident. 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 the Li Shimo family in the presence of the clansmen or not. kiss.

Who told you not to file a record in the government?

Or when these people in the clan asked Shi Yan through Mrs. Li and his mother, Shi Yan did not agree, and if the two sides were in a stalemate, was it because of some reason that they broke up the relationship, or whether Shi Yan was unkind and prosperous. Don't care about the life and death of your family?

Right or wrong, is it still a clan's mouth, say it at will?

Shi Yan's attitude was firm: "If you don't put it on record with the government, you will leave the Lijia Village and Jingyuan County. Who would admit the decision made in private by our clan?

If you guys don't have a better way, just follow Shi Yan's idea, and Shi Yan invites him to leave the clan. Even if he doesn't make any progress in the imperial examinations for this matter, Shi Yan has no regrets or regrets.

At the very least, Shi Yan still has a share of 200 mu of tax-free land under his name. No matter where he is, relying on this quota, he can receive a little benefit every year, and he will not starve to death.

No matter what, Shi Yan thought, it's better than the current situation, right? "

A clan elder said to him: "Have you ever thought about what to do with the lump? He is your only son!"

Shi Yan looked at the person who was speaking with a profound look: "Uncle Six, your old man is probably confused, there are all parents in this world, don't say that the knot has no affection for me as a father, and also publicly expressed the hope that I to die.

It is that he is really filial, and I have done my best to him over the years.

not hi

Do you like his sixth uncle? In the future, just follow his sixth uncle, I will give some silver money every year, so I don't need to starve to death. Which of the children of our peasant households can have money every month without having to work?

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

The clan elder said unwillingly: "Your mother and sixth brother will not treat you kindly. What if they deceive the money in his hands?"

"That's why he's stupid and has nothing to do with others. I will give the third grandpa a tael of silver every month, and let the knot go to their house to eat every meal until he is eighteen years old.

There will be no shortage of clothes for the four seasons and eight seasons. This is another matter. As for the others, I will forgive Shiyan's incompetence. "Shi Yan said lightly.

In fact, Shi Yan still has doubts about whether the knot is the original son.

The old man of the clan did not give up: "But Kandao is a very smart child, but he was taught wrongly. As the saying goes, a child does not teach his father's faults. You are also responsible for this matter, and you can't really let it go!"

Shi Yan was too lazy to argue with these people who pretended to be confused, and said bluntly: "Then when he reaches the age of enlightenment, he will be sent to the clan study, whether he is smart or not, we will naturally see after two years.

If Mr. Clanology agrees with his talent and encourages him to continue his studies, Shi Yan will not take any advantage of the clan, and I will bear all the expenses for his repairs and monthly expenses for pen, ink, paper and inkstone. "

Don't you just spend 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.

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

After Shi Yan was driven back to his hometown, behind the scenes, even he didn't do much. The reason was that he didn't want people to know that sometimes he was such a father who couldn't stand up and was not liked by Sixth Uncle.

Even after Shi Yan's death, he was the one who arbitrarily gave a few taels of silver to the person who came to the door to report the letter, and let him buy a coffin for Shi Yan and bury it at will.

Shi Yan's face was respectful, and his tone was impatient: "If Shi Yan asks him to leave the clan, he doesn't need the approval of the clan, he just needs to file a record with the government. If you have no other problems, Shi Yan will take advantage of it. It's still early, so let's go to the official residence."

Several clan elders looked at each other, and finally the seventh uncle said: "If we can't leave the clan, we agree to cut off our relatives and go to the government for the record!"

Shi Yan nodded in satisfaction, it would be fine if he didn't do this earlier, it was a waste of time to grind and chirp for a long time.

As for the child

son? I'm sorry, that is Shi Yan's tool person to buy his reputation, and he must not have the slightest emotion. Raising food and drinking, if he has the ability, he can unconditionally support him to study.

Even a tool person is a tool person who makes countless people jealous. Who doesn't want to be such a tool person?

He handled the divorce matter neatly and neatly, and Shi Yan rushed to the county seat on the same day in an ox-cart, before the county yamen started, and filed for the record.

As for the opinions of Mrs. Li and the male protagonist 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 shut the door and scold Shi Yan's ancestor, the coffin board can't hold it, and they still dare not fart outside. One.

At least so far, that's the case.

After coming out of the county office, the clansmen asked Shi Yan with a smile: "Iron egg, it's getting late, and before it's dark, let's go back to the village as soon as possible!"

Shi Yan smiled without saying a word, and his body was covered with a soft light by the afterglow of the setting sun. The clansmen suddenly discovered that Shi Yan had a temperament that they couldn't tell, just like the master in control of everything in the play.

After taking back all the money from Madam Li's hand, Shi Yan finally got 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 wore very plain clothes, put on new clothes, straightened his back, had confidence in his heart, was no longer hesitant, rested well, and regained his complexion. Shi Yan's overall temperament had undergone earth-shaking changes.

It made the clansmen feel that Shi Yan in front of them seemed to be very far away from them.

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

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

"Here, iron egg, are you going to rent a house in the county town and prepare for the township test? Then you have to go home and pack some luggage!"

After talking about it, a few people suddenly felt a little embarrassed. That day, in the Li's courtyard, everyone had seen it with their own eyes. In Shi Yan's room, there was a table, a chair, a bed, and three pieces of clothes that couldn't go out, and there was nothing left. .

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

The clansmen looked at each other in dismay, thinking to themselves, I feel bad now, so if I don't go back, I won't go back. When the anger subsides in the future, I will go home sooner or later.

But no one thought that Shi Yan said that he would never return in the future, and that he would never return to Lijia Village in his life.

Even on occasional business trips, passing Jingyuan County, I never set foot in Lijia Village.

Now, Shi Yan goes directly to the county school to find Zhou Lide and Master Zhou.

Years old, but he can talk very well with Shi Yan.

He was the one who helped Old Man Li find a Buddhist monk a few days ago.

Shi Yan didn't have any important purpose in looking for this person, just that the family mess was 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 this old man who saw that Shi Yan was living a hard life, so he tried every means to help Shi Yan find a way to make money, so that Shi Yan could support the whole Li family.

In the plot, the old man was really good to Shi Yan. The two were both teachers and friends. They once wanted to betrothed their youngest daughter to Shi Yan, but Shi Yan refused. Yan Ming didn't want to drag a good girl down.
