MTL - Self-cultivation of Male Supporting Role-Chapter 315 Surprise

How weak is Shi Yan's presence in Zhejian Villa? Just from the fact that he hasn't been out for five days, no one remembers that there is such a number of people in the villa. If it weren't for Xiao Hungry being taken by Shi Yan. When he went out once, he could go to the kitchen to commit crimes. Maybe Yan starved to death in this small yard from time to time.

In recent years, Zong Chijian's reputation has grown, and there are many new disciples in the village. Few people have mentioned Zong Chijian's identity as the acting village owner. Everyone naturally calls him the village owner. Shi Yan lives like a transparent person. generally.

Only when Zong Chijian was in the village, he could not stop asking his nephew's food, clothing, housing, and transportation every day. Every three days, he assessed his nephew's martial arts progress in front of everyone. Encourage your nephew in front of everyone: Heaven rewards hard work.

That is the moment when Shi Yan has the most sense of existence and makes the disciples of the Zhuang family and the Zong family hate the most. Everyone said that the Zong Zhuang master is really a kind person, and his nephew is so incompetent, but he can patiently come down and teach carefully. , is really admirable.

Zong Chijian will definitely refute with others: "The immortal is of great significance to my Folding Sword Villa. He went there because of the safety of the entire river and lake. His wife and children are also my relatives. I am not good to them. Who else can I be good to? Woolen cloth?"

Every time after being cared for by Zong Chijian, Shi Yan has to face malice from all directions, the food he eats is mixed with sand, he is deliberately targeted on the martial arts field, he does not have enough food and clothing, and he is full of scars every day. It was all because of the rumors that he was inexperienced before, and he was unwilling to teach him the serious skill of Zhe Liu sword.

Everything that Shi Yan knows now, he has learned by secretly groping.

Therefore, in the few days when Zong Chijian was away from the villa, Shi Yan was rarely quiet.

He gave a very full affirmation of Shi Yan's learning ability before. In the past few days when he and Xiao Hung were locked in the yard, Shi Yan focused on recuperating and improving his own business level.

Walking in the rivers and lakes, how can you have the face to claim to be a person in the rivers and lakes without being a serious martial arts master?

In just five days of hard work, Shi Yan's injuries were all healed. It was this kind of kung fu. To what extent, Shi Yan had no idea in his heart. Stay on the inner disciple.

But those disciples who spend all day thinking about slapping their beards and slapping their horses can have fart strength, and they know that there is no comparison with their toes. The elders who can be called masters in Zhuang Nei are very elusive, and some of them stay in Zhuang Nei to guard one side. , Some have been behind closed doors since Zong Chixian died, and some have helped the village owner with various household affairs outside.

But no matter what it is, Shi Yan is so small and transparent that the other party disdains to meet him. The only two elders who stay behind closed doors and have not yet joined Zong Jijian, occasionally met with Shi Yan a few years ago. On the one hand, he shook his head again and again, disappointed and shouted: "The village owner has no successor, it is pathetic and pitiful!"

Therefore, Shi Yan has no idea what the level of martial arts masters is.

So just to be on the safe side, Shi Yan decided to practice for a few more days. After all, no one is too much of such a thing as strength. In the future, if someone takes a shot and gives him seconds, wouldn't it be very embarrassing?

During this period, Xiao Hungry was overly relieved by Shi Yan's overly skilled dog-pulling technique, so he worked tirelessly as a porter for him, running between the kitchen and the yard, busy like an obedient and well-behaved housewife.

Shi Yan was practicing swordsmanship with a wooden stick in the yard during the day, and he was in a good mood. Xiao Hungry squatted aside and watched intently.

Shi Yan meditated peacefully under the tree at night, not moving at all, comprehending the secrets of the exercises. Xiao Hung lay down beside him and slept drooling, dreaming in his arms, happily rubbing Shi Yan's thigh with his big head from time to time.

One person and one dog have virtually established a profound revolutionary friendship and unparalleled tacit understanding.

This situation continued until half a month later, Zong Chi Jian returned to the village.

The first thing the owner of the village did when he came back was to ask the people around him, "Is that kid OK recently? Did you miss me when I was away?"

The disciples who heard that the village owner was back and came to pay attention to brush their faces were gnashing their teeth in their hearts, jealous, and could not show anything on their faces, so they asked the senior brother to come forward and answer.

The eldest brother is the eldest disciple of Zong Chijian, with a dignified appearance, in his twenties, he is dressed in a villa's blue disciple uniform, and he looks like a gentleman.

When he came up to answer the question, he bowed first and spoke in a well-organized manner, which was highly valued by Master Zong Chijian: "Returning to Master's words, Junior Brother Yan has been as usual in recent days and has not taken any action, thinking that Junior Brother Yan does not like people approaching him. The disciple did not let anyone in to check the residence, so as not to make Junior Brother Yan unhappy.

But Junior Brother Yan is a diligent person, so he should be diligent in his cultivation in the courtyard, day and night.”

The following disciples raised eyebrows and lawsuits: Senior Brother is really good, he is indeed a man who can be Senior Senior Brother, in front of Master, he can say nonsense as if it is true, and he can give Shi Yan that little boy without trace. Eye drops on beasts, absolutely!

So eagerly waiting to see the show.

Zong Chijian didn't seem to see the tricks in it, and solemnly instructed the eldest disciple: "Ayan is still young and ignorant, you should be more tolerant and take care of you as senior brothers on weekdays, lest Ayan has no playmates of the same age. Lonely."

Several disciples felt as if they had eaten a whole lemon tree in an instant. Although they knew that this was the result every time, they felt uncomfortable every time they heard it.

Obviously they are all direct disciples of the master. If you want to get the special resources in the village on weekdays, you have to work hard to complete the tasks in the village.

And Shi Yan, the little beast, has nothing and knows nothing. At the age of thirteen, he has practiced for five years, and he can't complete a complete set of folding willow swordsmanship. All the resources of , and Master's obvious eccentricity!

Why?

Unwillingness and anger flashed across the faces of several disciples, Zong Chijian seemed to have not seen it, and said to the eldest disciple in a warm voice, "Go and bring Ayan over in person, the master left Zhuangzi for a month, and haven't seen Ayan for a long time. , I am very worried."

The eldest disciple bowed with a stiff face.

After everyone left, Mrs. Zong, Duan Qinxin, walked out slowly from behind, sitting opposite Zong Chijian, frowning and said, "Have you seen your elder brother and sister-in-law when you go out this time? What do they say about the leisurely marriage?"

Zong Chijian still looked like the gentle and harmless honest man before, he sighed a long time, but his mouth was a little disapproving: "I have already connected with the Jiangnan prefect, if nothing else happens, that child of leisurely will be married soon. To the youngest son of the prefect, to be a serious official wife."

Mrs. Zong's frown became even tighter: "Xianggong, my sister-in-law wrote to me at the beginning of the month and asked me to mediate one or two things, but you and I know that there is a marriage contract on Youran, and it was given to Youran and Shi. When Yan decided to get married, many people knew about it.

Not to mention that there will be gossip in the rivers and lakes when this incident spreads out, saying that our Duan family will turn around when we climb up the high branch and refuse to recognize anyone. Just because of the attention of officials and officials, it is most unacceptable that a woman with a tarnished reputation will enter the door.

This is still the case in the general family of officials. I heard that the prefect in Jiangnan was born in a royal clan, and their children and several princes in the court can also be called cousins, and I am afraid that there is more attention. "

Zong Chijian glanced at his wife unexpectedly. This is indeed a difficult task for others, but for his own wife, it is very simple. With just a few tricks, he can retreat leisurely without hurting his body. Leisure's reputation is not at all, there is no need to say it separately.

Zong Chijian quickly returned to his senses: "What does Madam want?"

Mrs. Zong slowly loosened her brows, held her husband's hand, subconsciously lowered her voice, and said eloquently: "Since the engagement between You Ran and Shi Yan was made early in the morning, why should we be villains? Yan broke off the marriage, saying that, after all, there will be pedantic people who think our Duan family is perfidious.

One is the concubine's maiden niece, and the other is your husband's nephew.

Since the prefect is only interested in the status and influence of my Duan family in the arena, isn't the position of our Folding Sword Villa in the rivers and lakes inferior to that of the Duan family?

Why don't we just let Shixiang get married? "

Zong Chijian was immediately annoyed: "The officials and eunuchs have very strict rules, and there are more dirty things inside than ours. Shixiang has a lively personality and is innocent and simple. Madam, if you send Shixiang to such a family, what can you get out of it? ?"

Mrs. Duan calmed down her husband's emotions in a gentle voice, and said slowly: "Husband, the three-thirds of this acre of rivers and lakes spends all day dealing with a group of vulgar warriors who refuse to accept discipline. Business, or people in the arena walking outside, in the final analysis, which one is not dealing with the government in the end?

The cost of opening up those business routes every year is enough to make our family marry a prince and a prince. The reason is that we have no one in the court who can speak for us.

Sir, are you willing? "

To be honest, of course, I am not reconciled. The money I earn, let alone thousands, is just a piece of copper. Bending down my hands and begging others to accept it, just think about it, Zong Zhijian’s fist can be hardened again. hard.

But these are not enough for him to marry his only daughter to someone in the court. Folding Sword Villa has a special status in the arena, and the fact that he married his daughter with a sword represents an attitude.

It is enough to be close to the court now. If it is too ambiguous, the people below will probably rebel, and he does not have the strength to directly suppress those people.

Besides, although the Duan family was founded on their clan, it was still his Yue family, and it was hard to say that his daughter would take the place of his eldest brother's daughter's marriage.

Mrs. Duan and his husband and wife have been with him for decades, and they have a clear understanding of his psychology, and their eyes wandered, and continued: "Xiang Gong, let's put these aside, have you forgotten the battle between the righteous and the devil? My brother-in-law is like martial arts How terrifying is the strength of No. 1? Under the cannons of the imperial court, it can only be turned into a puddle of powder.

If our Folding Sword Villa has cannons, what are the experts in the rivers and lakes? In the past, the elders in the village were always angry with you..."

Mrs. Zong clearly felt her husband's intentions and knew where this person's weakness was, so she smiled and gave the final blow gently: "I got the news that the prefect asked the court to suppress the bandits, and the court specially gave it to you. A dozen cannons came..."

Zong Chijian closed his eyes and said softly, "Let me think about it, let me think about it."

Mrs. Zong had a clear smile on her face, and left the room lightly, leaving the space for her husband.

For the sake of her biological daughter, what is her niece?

If Shi Yan was to comment on this matter, with the script in his hand, he could only tell everyone calmly, "You all think too much."

Zong Shixiang went the way of Mary Su, and all men will eventually fall in love with her, including the male protagonist who appeared later, the fifth prince of the court, and the last emperor. A young son of the prefect, under the influence of Zong Shixiang's aura of Mary Su, became one of the many admirers who fell under her pomegranate skirt. He was not even worthy of a proper name, and could only face the back of the goddess. God hurt, silent blessing.

However, Shi Yan only guessed half of it right.

The other half, when faced with this miserable family, Shi Yan had no time to take care of him.

At the dinner table, Zong Chijian and his wife looked like "Ayan is my own son, everyone else has to stand aside", which made Zong Shixiang and Zong Shiyin's eyes turn red with jealousy. With countless eye knives, Shi Yan seemed to have not seen it.

I haven't eaten at the dinner table for many days, and I still miss this feeling a little bit, especially when Xiao Hungry decides the meals for him every day. High demands, so-so for many days, facing a large table of sumptuous lunch, Shi Yan was not polite at all.

Zong Zhijian smiled and gave Shi Yan a chopstick to stir-fry the pork with green bamboo shoots: "Eat more, A Yan looked at the strips recently and lost weight again!"

Shi Yan pointed at the sweet and sour steak in front of Zong Shixiang with his eyes: "Thank you, uncle, but I like to eat that, please help me with the food I like next time!"

Zong Zhijian moved for a while, his eyes swept across Shi Yan, and he quickly returned to his smiling, good uncle's appearance, very condoning Shi Yan, and said to Zong Shixiang with a straight face: "Xiang'er, I didn't hear my brother say that. Want to eat that dish? Bring it to my brother!"

Zong Shixiang put the chopsticks on the table fiercely, and stared at Shi Yan: "I don't know what is good or bad!"

Mrs. Zong reprimanded her daughter: "Is this the etiquette I taught you? Don't take your father's words seriously? How did you treat your brother?"

Zong Shixiang angrily put down his chopsticks and covered his face and ran away.

Madam Zong sighed helplessly, and said to the mama beside her, "Go and see for yourself."

Zong Shiyin put down his chopsticks and got up, gave Shi Yan a vicious look, and was about to chase his sister, but was forced by Madam Zong's stern gaze, so he had to sit back again, exuding "I'm very upset, I'm thinking about **** me" You can make me happy."

But Shi Yan seemed to have no idea, facing Madam Zong's warm voice to comfort him: "Shi Xiang has been spoiled by me and your uncle, and she is ignorant. When you look back, auntie must tell her well, auntie is here to make amends with you. No, Ayan, you should be more concerned."

Shi Yan didn't lift his head: "Don't be sad, auntie, I forgive you, every time Sister Shixiang makes you angry, you always say that, but she still knows the crime, so she must not take your words to heart. , In the face of such a daughter who does not listen to admonitions and is not filial to her parents, you are the most troublesome.

I was stared at by her a few times, beaten a few times by someone, and said a few nonsense words. Compared with what you have encountered, it is simply not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!

The key is to calm down, don't be angry with Sister Shixiang, after all, this kind of unfilial daughter was taught by yourself. If you really want to be angry, you may not be able to get angry. "

Duan Shi was not angry for the first time. Others at the dinner table, including those who waited on the side, had almost the same reaction: Has Shi Yan been overtaken by a ghost?

Is this still the old Shi Yan who was inferior, timid, taciturn, and dared not talk to people directly, even an ordinary fire-fighting girl in the kitchen who could spit at him?

It was a complete surprise.

Zong Shiyin asked Shi Yan with wide eyes, "Are you crazy? How dare you talk to my mother like that?"

Shi Yan finally raised his head and asked with a puzzled face, "Isn't what I said true? If I'm wrong, please point it out and I'll correct it. I'm a person in the world. Change, there is no shameful thought."

There are all the people here who are embarrassed and thoughtful: "..."

Isn't this horse riding crazy?

Zong Shi secretly gritted his teeth, he wanted to say that everything you said was a fart, nothing was right, but in the end you still have a brain, some words come to your mind, but they are wrong when you say them, even if everyone agrees with them. , but it cannot be declared.

I can only be sulking with myself, thinking about turning back and avoiding my parents, I must make you look good. A small **** has a big life. The vicious dog didn't kill you last time. You must find a better way when you look back.

Zong Chijian and his wife looked at each other with a tacit understanding. After the two were surprised, they quickly regained their composure. Zong Chijian kindly asked Shiyan, "I haven't seen each other for more than a month. I heard that Ayan has been practicing martial arts hard in the hospital recently. Can it be beneficial to practice with a few senior brothers after dinner, and let the uncle take a look?"

Old traditional arts.

Every three days, Shi Yan will be given a public execution. The couple are not tired of it. The whole villa is looking forward to that scene. Zong Shiyin's eyes lit up in an instant. with bad intentions.

Shi Yan put down his chopsticks, turned around and took a handkerchief from the tray prepared by the maid behind him. After carefully wiping his mouth, his eyes were pure and innocent, and he looked at Zong Chijian with confusion and refused his request: "Not good."

If the elders in the village take action, Shi Yan is still interested in practicing. But he knew exactly what the level of **** the inner disciple was, and he didn't have the interest to show the monkey show.

And sincerely asked: "Uncle, you know that your nephew has no talent in martial arts, and is not even as good as an ordinary disciple. No matter how hard you study and practice hard, the top in this life is the level of an ordinary inner disciple. Everyone knows this. Du Ming, I know it clearly in my heart, and if you want to come, it is also clear in your heart.

Why do you have to keep humiliating your nephew in front of so many disciples? Once or twice, you can say that it is to stimulate my fighting spirit, one or two years, you can say that I mistakenly think that I like to compete with others in public, but it has been five years, and it is well known how much effort I put into practicing swords, What you have gained is something that everyone can see at a glance.

Don't say you don't know how everyone in the village is talking about me and my father in private! In this case, you also habitually made me accept this humiliation in front of everyone.

Is it that hard to teach in private? Does it remind everyone that my father Zong Chixian's son is a waste in martial arts, so that makes you happy? "

There was dead silence in the hall.

This silence is all mixed with anger towards Shi Yan's ignorance of the good and the bad, the heartache that the villa owner and the villa owner's wife gave the wrong love, and mistakenly regarded Shi Yan, a white-eyed wolf, as a puppy who could be raised.

No one felt that Shi Yan was right.

Shi Yan easily sensed these emotions, and he was not too surprised. The two of them did a great job on the surface. They were very successful in brainwashing everyone in the village. He didn't have a lot of heart, and he dedicated everything he thought was the best to the nephew who lost his father at a young age.

In front of his nephew Shi Yan, the biological children have to lean back.

Zong Zhijian put down his chopsticks, and swept his eyes sharply towards the crowd: "Go and find out all the people that Ayan has been in contact with recently, and interrogate them strictly! I want to see who is chewing their tongues in front of Ayan and alienating our uncle and nephew. Emotions, their hearts can be punished!"

The hearts of all the servants in the hall trembled. The villa owner is a good-natured man and rarely gets angry, but once an honest person gets angry, ordinary people can’t resist it. I don’t know how many people will follow unlucky this time!

Blame Shi Yan! If it weren't for his nonsense in front of the village master, how could there be such an innocent disaster!

Shi Yan didn't seem to feel the angry eyes of the people around him, and quietly watched the uncle's singing, reading, and fighting. To be honest, Zong Chijian's image of an honest man is really good. I'm afraid this is God's reward. That kind of person, born with an honest appearance, can frighten a group of people by relying on this appearance.

"Ayan, you go back first. Uncle still has some things to deal with. When we're done, we'll talk about it in private." It goes without saying.

When he looked at Shi Yan, his eyes were full of tenderness, he stretched out his hand to touch Shi Yan's head, and then retracted it embarrassingly: "I heard you say you want to inherit your father's will to practice martial arts and swordsmanship well, the uncle simply thought that You like these things in your heart, and you don't ask carefully what you really think in your heart.

Since you don't like this, the uncle will definitely pay more attention in the future and won't force you. "

It's really old green tea, and with a backhand move, all the blame was passed to Shi Yan: You said that you want to learn and I will be strict with you, but now you say that you don't want to learn, and that I treat you too strict. It's all my fault, who let me spoil you!

Before Shi Yan got up and left, he asked with a simple look: "But my father's will, isn't it that I want me to grow up happily and take over from Fold Sword Villa? When did you say that you want me to become a martial arts master?"

After all, he didn't look at everyone's wonderful faces, he wore the new clothes that his senior brother specially brought for him and asked him to wear it when he and his clan family had dinner, and left without looking back.

For the first time, everyone felt that Shi Yan was wearing this dress, like a normal martial arts son, not a servant who secretly wore the master's clothes, timid and sneaky.

In the hall, when everyone was gone, the Zong family and their husbands stood facing each other, Zong Chijian with a frosty face instructed the people in the dark: "Check, check all the people who have been in contact with Yan and Ding in the past six months. I can't let go of the slightest abnormal behavior!"

There was a slight noise in the dark, knowing that the person had already led the order to leave, Mrs. Zong said slowly: "Either there is that old immortal in the rivers and lakes or in the village, still thinking about Zong Chixian, and wants to help Shi Yan to take the sword of the villa. Take it from us.

Either Shi Yan, this little brat, has been hiding and guarding us. Either way, it's not good for us!

In order to maintain the present day of Folding Sword Villa, we have made countless efforts, and no one can take it away from us! Simply unforgivable! "

Things were not much different from what Shi Yan had expected. Listening to the chaotic breathing of the people monitoring him around, he sighed with Xiao Hungry: "The snake has come out of its hole, and we will soon be able to see the outside world."
