Chapter 384 as poor as me

Shi Yan stared at the 12-year-old boy in front of him and felt that he really had the ability to be a male protagonist, whether it was his energy to not give up until he achieved his goal, his vision of heart, or his heart that had calmed down during this period of humiliation and burden. , is extremely difficult at this age.

If he used this scheming method and patience on others, Shi Yan would still continue to appreciate him, but when he used this method on himself, Shi Yan’s heart would not be so wonderful.

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

Obviously, Lu Hanhai didn’t know what Shi Yan was thinking. He smiled and tried his best to show his superiority. He wanted to convince Shi Yan to accept him as his apprentice, and even revealed his identity to Shi Yan. On the way, he was hunted down by enemies, and it was a very dangerous thing to easily reveal his identity. To be able to do this represented his extreme trust in Shi Yan, and he believed that Shi Yan could understand this.

Of course Shi Yan understood, not only did he understand that the person who was chasing Lu Hanhai had not heard from him since he entered Bai’an County, and it was also his handwriting. Lu Hanhai thought that he had temporarily escaped the enemy’s sight and was very successful in hiding, but in fact it was. Shi Yan asked Yang Hegao to solve it in private.

Lu Hanhai said: “Mr. Xu, what I said last time is true, and what I said this time is true. I really want to worship you as my teacher. In the future, I will treat you like a father and a son, and carry forward the inheritance of the Xu family.”

Shi Yan directly ignored the scorching eyes from the people brought by Lu Hanhai, and calmly refused: “Xu is only a small businessman, I really don’t know how to teach Young Master Lu. The Xu family has suffered a lot of grievances, and Xu someone is here to offend Master Lu.”

He said sorry, but there was no apology in his expression, and he was even a little impatient.

Then he glanced outside: “It’s getting late.”

The implication is that it’s time to hit the road, don’t grind in my house.

Seeing that Shi Yan was so oily and salty, Lu Hanhai was not impatient at all, as if he had known that he would be like this, and the brows of the people who followed him were about to jump up. It was an obvious surprise. He had never seen it before. There are people who can refuse the name of their general.

I don’t know if this person is bold or ignorant and fearless.

But no matter what it is, there is no place for him to speak here. Before coming here, the general explained that he wants to bring Young Master Lu back safely. There is no need to interfere with others. Listen more and read more and talk less along the way. Eyes and ears without mouth.

Despite this, he was still shocked the next moment, because he saw Young Master Lu kneeling down and couldn’t afford it, begging Mr. Xu to accept him as a disciple, and saying, “If Mr. doesn’t agree, Han Hai will not be able to afford it.”

You must know that the Lu family’s stubbornness and pride are well-known in the military camp. When he was beaten by his father when he was young, he didn’t say a soft word, so that everyone had a deep understanding of his temperament. Facing this person today, kneeling so easily is really unexpected.

Shi Yan sneered: “Threat 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 that if this was put on other male protagonists, it would be a routine of perseverance and sincerity that moved the world’s masters, won the approval of masters, and obtained peerless secrets. Shi Yan and Mosuo chin, feel that this method is not impossible, but he may be able to improve it a little.

So he closed his eyes coldly, without showing any emotion: “It is impossible to accept you as a disciple, even if you kneel to the end of the world, there is no doubt about that.”

You are not beautiful, you have become my apprentice, and you are indirectly related to the Meijia Academy and many scholars in the world. As a military general, what do you want to do with the scholars?

Without waiting for Lu Hanhai to say more, he continued: “I have half of the military book here. I am teaching it to you today. I hope you will study it carefully, and show what you have learned on the battlefield in the future. Don’t say it again in the future.”

Lu Hanhai was rejected by Shi Yan one after another. He could already see the impatience in Shi Yan’s eyes. He knew that he couldn’t continue to entangle him today. There is still a way to make Mr. always know his own good.

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 something that is treasured. To be able to easily get a glimpse of others already depends on the irreversible relationship between the two parties, not to mention Donate half a copy directly.

Besides, with the passage of time, it is not easy to keep half of this good thing at home, and it is very likely that the husband only has half of it.

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 seriously, he was once again shocked by the content in the book of war. He already knew that this was definitely a treasure that could be passed down from generation to generation.

At this moment, Lu Hanhai increased Shi Yan’s ability by a few percent in his heart. A person who can give something like this casually is by no means as simple as a businessman living in seclusion in Xiaobai’an County, so he is even more determined that he wants to worship The idea of ​​Shi Yan as a teacher.

I have 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. The good gentleman will not try his best to help him, but will take the initiative to rely on him. It’s not what he needs, besides the help those people can give him, which one can be like Mr. Xu?

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

So I thanked Shi Yan for half of the military books neatly and followed the people who came to look for it.

Ayun is still wondering: “The daughter of the military book has also read it, there is a whole book, why did Dad only give him the first half? Didn’t you say that Lu Hanhai is a natural general? If so, give him the whole book and let him Wouldn’t it be good for the book of war to have the greatest value in his hands?”

Shi Yan held the book in his hand, and when he took a closer look, it was the remaining half of the military book that knocked on his daughter’s head: “Even a natural general, now he is just a young man who has not yet grown up and has never seen it before. The battlefield is just a sinister teenager. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and what the future looks like depends on his fortune.”

As he weighed up the military book in his hand, he thought that some things were given too much at one time, and it was easy to raise people to fight against rice. This thing is much more interesting in the hands of some people than in the hands of that kid.

Ayun didn’t understand her father’s thoughts, she simply felt that what her father said was reasonable. After studying with the teacher for several years, she has more contemporary theories and thoughts in her bones.

My own collection can be viewed by my own family, but why give it to outsiders for nothing? Like some of the teacher’s collection of books, only those who have reached a certain position can take out the corresponding items and read them in exchange. Outsiders want to borrow them? That is dreaming.

In his bones, the idea of ​​​​trying to cultivate a general who will end the war for the sake of the border people and to end the war as soon as possible is not born.

In A Yun’s view, war is never-ending. Whether it is a famine era or a peaceful and prosperous era, as long as there are people, there will be entanglements of interests, and there will be wars where there are entanglements of interests. Focus on reality.

Shi Yan is very satisfied that his daughter has not given birth to an ambition to save the world, and it is enough to pursue the goal down-to-earth.

So he called Yang Hegao after sending his daughter away, and pushed the remaining half of the military books over. After whispering like this, Yang Hegao’s face turned pale at first, then his brows jumped, and then he seemed to be numb. Only nodded again and again, and his expression returned to calm.

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 the store.

Speaking of Shi Yan’s current family property, Lu Hanhai’s previous idea was also correct. Although there is no inexhaustible gold and silver mountains, with the expansion of the security bureau, large bowls of rice noodle shops have opened all over the country. From south to north, there are large bowls of rice noodles in towns and cities.

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

Their people never look for a shop with a good location on the street, nor do they pursue a spacious and bright shop area. They only pick a corner where three or five people can sit in an inconspicuous place, and sell the goods brought by their distant relatives and businessmen. Silk and satin cloth, rare ornaments, needles and threads, rice, flour, grain and oil, sometimes there are pieces of off-site melons, fruits and vegetables.

After the business is established, only one and a half old children or old and weak women and children can open up, and a dozen such stores can be opened in a small town like Bai’an County.

Outsiders only think that they can’t do big business, rely on relatives who are in business to help them, and beg for food, so they don’t make it difficult.

So the **** bureau took some smuggled goods while darts, so that the goods between the north and the south could be circulated easily. The investment was small, the income was large, and it was a business that others could not replicate.

No one could have imagined how many small shops like this existed in the whole country, and how much gold and silver income they brought to Shi Yan.

As for all the things here, Shi Yan was still in charge of it a few years ago. Later, when Yang He was on top of things, he threw it all to him. Shi Yan only checked the accounts occasionally and made the general development plan.

Outsiders don’t know that Xu Xiucai from Bai’an County is a business giant in private, and he holds how many people eat. Yang Hegao, who was spinning around in the tank, passed through his hands how many gold and silver ledgers every day.

Even the old lady Miao, who lives under the same roof, doesn’t know the actual economic situation of her son-in-law. Anyway, her old lady is not short of food and clothing, and occasionally goes out, and even the lady of the county magistrate’s family speaks to her. Also polite and contented.

A few children in the family are at a foolish and carefree age, and they don’t think about these things at all. At home, they didn’t make any excessive demands. Sometimes Shi Yan will prepare them in advance, and they shouldn’t. If you open your mouth, you will be ruthlessly rejected by Shi Yan. Children who have never bothered about money at all do not know the importance of this thing.

As for the ornaments that have been gradually replaced at home over the past few years, they can be seen everywhere. They seem to be random, but they are actually elaborate and valuable. A group of people who don’t know the goods can’t notice anything special at all. If I really want to say, there are probably some places It looks more outdated than before.

Yang Hegao was deeply touched by this point. He felt that perhaps the difference in attitude towards foreign objects was the huge gap between him and his husband. He would never be able to be as light as his husband and treat money as nothing.

He clearly remembered that after replacing the furniture at home that looked a bit outdated among the children, Xiaobao used a slingshot more than once to break the waist-pinching vase from the Yongdi period of the previous dynasty, the filigree plate from the Wendi period, and secretly used a In the cloud jewelry box, the Dongzhu necklace that she did not like from the former imperial palace was tied to the bird cage.

There is also A Yun, who did not know what book he learned from using crystals to do magnification experiments, and accidentally burned half a box of the manuscript of the former prime minister. Later, I picked up a short-tailed puppy from the street, and it was dying of filth. In order to make a nest for the puppy, I rinsed the big front jade basin that my husband had just picked up, and threw it in the yard and exposed to the sun to disinfect. Put on a warm mattress.

Yang Hegao’s heart was almost broken. Mr. Yupen spent 10 taels of silver to pick it up from the street. Take care of it. It’s worth tens of thousands of taels at least. It’s just that Mr. Just deal with it, and it was so badly abused!

At that time, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he felt breathless while covering his chest. He felt that his husband might be angry, and he had to endure the heartache and think about how to persuade him to look away.

Look at the fart, he can’t watch it himself, how can he persuade others to watch it!

Unexpectedly, the gentleman was very calm, and he casually asked people to replace them with something that looked more outdated and more valuable, and told the children lightly: “Our household is all flammable and fragile old things, which should not be touched. No, be careful in the future.”

The consequence of the frivolous disclosure is that the children in the family thought that their family only depended on a rice noodle shop for a living, to support so many people, and from time to time to help the uncles of the **** agency, they were very poor.

Because I can’t buy new ones, I can only use the old ones, so I learned to cherish the few properties at home.

Yang He Gao Xin said that it was a blessing in disguise, and he would die of heart palpitations if he watched it any longer. He also had a big heart and only enjoyed the fun of collecting, but did not 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 in the house were outdated and inconspicuous, and no new ones were beautiful and bright, but as time passed, when the daughter came back from someone else’s house to enjoy flowers, wine and treasures, she would hold his hand and whisper to him: “Dad, daughter I feel that the new craftsmanship of the colorful phoenix screws and jade hairpins that sister Wang’s family has acquired does not seem to be as delicate as in her daughter’s jewelry box.”

After his son was out and tasted the tea, he said to him with some doubts: “Brother Liu said that he has a rare book from the previous dynasty in his hand, which was stolen from his grandfather. I have read two of the pages, but I clearly remember that it was in our study. Brother He Gao took us to read it together when we were young, and there is also a little turtle I drew on it! Am I remembering it wrong? ”

Once these things are cultivated, even if the children don’t know the value of the things outside, they will naturally have a comparison in their hearts when the general things are in front of them: “The quality of this piece is not as good as that of the home, and the workmanship of this piece is not as good as that of the home. This one is barely similar to the one at home.”

Shi Yan does not need to let the children become the masters of tasting, nor does it need the children to be able to tell the origin, workmanship, and year of an object in a straightforward manner. These professional people do it. If you really like it, it’s okay to become a hobby, and if you treat it as an assignment or a career, there’s no need for it.

As long as they know good and bad based on what he gave, it’s enough not to be blinded by a few good words.

He did not put his children’s aesthetics and vision too high at all, making it difficult for them to be moved by ordinary foreign objects in their future lives. Shi Yan often considers himself an ordinary scholar.

He often said to the children: “Our family is just an ordinary merchant family. It is better than the other. My father has no ability to let you live a rich, 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 caring for his grandson.”

As he spoke, a look of anticipation flashed in his eyes, and the two children watched with enthusiasm and excitement. They clenched their fists and vowed to let their father live the good life he was looking forward to. For this reason, Xiaobao studied more seriously, and Ayun also worked hard to defeat the blind Bibi people of the Mei family and gain everyone’s respect.

Shi Yan seemed to have discovered a new motivational code. When the two children were slack, he repeated the words with hope. The words he said were pitiful, as if he had stepped into the coffin with one foot and buried half of his body. When he entered the loess, he waited for a breath to get up, and he died, but his children had no intention of working hard. He never had a good day in his life, and he was full of regrets, and it would be the same in the next moment.

The two children were tearful, and they couldn’t stop studying for a long time.

Mr. Mei said Shi Yan dissatisfiedly: “They are all good children, why are you teasing them like this?”

Shi Yan didn’t do anything, but simply enjoyed the fun of the bear parents rectifying the bear children.

But this can’t be said in front of Mr. Mei’s face, and he said: “Naturally, it is to let them know that youth is precious and should not be thrown away. If you have to endure hardships, you will be a superior person. Tomorrow, they will thank you for your hard work today. self.”

This is too slippery to say, it seems to have been said a thousand times, Mr. Mei was not sure whether it was Shi Yan’s sincerity, but he felt that Shi Yan had done the right thing and needed to be affirmed: “Don’t show wealth, don’t let children It’s good for them to develop arrogant and lustful temperaments.”

He especially likes that the two children of Shi Yan’s family are down-to-earth, they can go to the hall, they can go to the kitchen, they are neither humble nor arrogant in anything they do, and they are full of human fireworks. Even Ayun and him talked about the price of rice rising by half a penny. It seems that he feels cute and tight.

Shi Yan didn’t admit that his family was rich, even if he knew that Mr. Mei knew everything, he couldn’t admit it: “What are you talking about, we can’t say that we are rich if all our money is piled up in front of the children. !”

Mr. Mei didn’t force it to break it down, but he knew in his heart that not anyone who raised a child according to Shi Yan’s method could develop something like A Yun Xiaobao. Shi Yan’s approach seemed random, but it was easy for the two children to become detained. With his petty temperament, the two children will be forced to become nerds who can only 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.
