Self-cultivation of Male Supporting Role - Chapter 316

After five days, when Shi Yan guessed that the Zong family could no longer sit still, things took a turn.

On this day, there was a charming guest from Folding Sword Villa. The person was bright and generous, with a straightforward personality. She was born in Duan’s Villa. She was a chivalrous girl with little fame in the rivers and lakes in the past year, and there were many admirers behind her.

Don’t do what he thinks, the person here is Mrs. Zong Duan Qinxin’s maiden niece, the daughter of her elder brother, Duan Youran.

Fifteen this year, she is the same age as Zong Shixiang and two years older than Shi Yan. She is the fiancée that Shi Yan had engaged to when he was a child.

When the owner of Folding Sword Villa was still Zong Chixian, Zong Chijian’s sons and daughters had a very low sense of existence. They often played with cousins ​​from their uncle’s house. At that time, everyone was young, and the Duan family was a family that had been in decline for a long time. , The whole family is sincerely happy to receive the young master of Folding Sword Villa.

Even the young master and the young lady.

Therefore, the relationship between Zong Shixiang and the Duan brothers and sisters was relatively close since childhood.

Duan Youran, who was dressed in a goose-yellow dress, walked briskly, and entered the main hall hand in hand with her cousin Zong Shixiang. She had both the free and easy feeling of children in the rivers and lakes, and the arrogance of having received good upbringing since childhood. A rare beauty in martial arts.

Especially when she speaks, she speaks quickly, but not annoying, like a yellow warbler out of the valley, which makes people bend their lips.

Along the way, Zong Shixiang took her cousin Duan Youran’s hand and sighed: “The last time we met was on the day of my uncle’s birthday a year ago. I dare not admit it.

It’s so beautiful, as my mother said, every move is a scenery, but unfortunately I have never been able to do it, my mother is always disappointed in me at this point. “

When he said that, Zong Shixiang’s face was full of regret and envy.

Mrs. Zong, who had been observing for a long time, deeply believed in her daughter’s words. The change in her niece was indeed so great that she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

Her parents’ family has been down and out since she was born. When they were able to find a way to marry her into the famed Zhejian Villa, it was their Duan family’s means. Zhejian Villa has been in the past few years.

In just a few short years, it was impossible for the Duan family to raise a girl with such grace as Youran. It is necessary to know that a person’s temperament is related to everything she has experienced. This kind of temperament in Youran that is praised in the nest of wealth and honor is not a problem. It may appear in the Duan family’s children.

What’s more, when we met last year, this girl didn’t feel like this.

But all this happened in front of her eyes, so what happened to this girl that she didn’t know about? Or, what is the big brother and sister-in-law hiding?

I’m not a silly girl like Shi Xiang, I don’t think much about it when I see such a thing.

But Duan didn’t expect that the niece looked weak and weak, and knew the rules and etiquette very well, and the moment she said it, she was annoyed: “Aunt, I don’t know what my mother wrote to you last month. What are you thinking about? Jiangnan is in a hurry, so in order not to delay the good things of your niece, you have to go to the door in person.”

Mrs. Duan pulled out an indistinguishable smile, took her niece’s hand and said warmly, “You Ran, you have to know that there is no turning back when you open a bow, and once you step out of something, there is no turning back, you are still young and don’t understand human language. Dreadful.

Have you ever thought that once this is done, you will face the rumors and rumors of the entire Jianghu people? No matter how bad that person is, he is also the son of that person. By doing this, you are hitting that person’s face and smashing Sword Villa’s face.

We are aunts, and uncles naturally can’t say anything, but…”

Saying half of it and keeping half of it is the most likely to make people think about it. This trick has been tried and tested in the past, and it is Mrs. Zong’s negotiation skill. But today it failed on my niece.

I saw that the smile on Duan Youran’s face did not change in the slightest, and she returned to hold her aunt’s hand in a generous and hearty manner, and her voice was as crisp and sweet as an oriole: “Aunt, I know you are doing it for my own good, but if you really want to be good for leisurely, you should Looking at it more long-term, it is not clear what kind of outsider that person is in the village, can we still not know ourselves?

Over the past year, I specially asked Shi Xiang’s cousin to inform me of his current situation. She is simply a man who can’t do anything if he can’t make a slogan. Three sticks can’t make a sullen fart. A beast who pleases the Ding family and disregards the lives of others!

What’s the fun in getting me married to someone like that? Compared with the prefect’s direct son, who is superior or inferior, who is superior or inferior, it is clear at a glance, what does it mean to be a little gossip about this?

Besides, in the future, after I get married with the prefect’s son, and gradually cut off contact with people in the arena, who can come up to me and make irresponsible remarks? “

The perfect good aunt’s smile on Duan’s face could hardly be maintained. She pretended not to hear clearly and asked her niece, “You Ran, how did you know about that person?”

Duan Youran didn’t answer, and Zong Shixiang, who was standing by the side, finally couldn’t help speaking, stuck in the middle of the two, and said with a proud expression: “Mother, don’t be sloppy in front of me, my cousin has long written a letter to tell her that she once had a relationship with her. You told me about Shi Yan’s marriage appointment, and asked me to inquire about Shi Yan’s whereabouts.

What a nice person, my cousin, a big girl who is watery, it would be a waste to ration such a little beast! Since cousin has already met her sweetheart, why don’t we fulfill her? “

Duan’s hands were trembling under her sleeves. She thought that in order to let her daughter marry her niece to Jiangnan, she was under the enormous pressure of the possibility of ghosts in the villa, risking offending her eldest brother and sister-in-law at any time. , As a result, the niece came to the bottom of the pot.

A slightly stiff smile appeared on his face: “When did it happen? Why doesn’t my mother know? Leisurely, too, if you have anything, you can’t directly ask the aunt, who is an adult, in case you children don’t do anything. If the secret is known, it is inevitable that people will talk about it.”

Zong Shixiang didn’t notice that her mother’s face was wrong at all, she smiled and took her mother’s arm and said, “About a year ago, my cousin said that she wanted to know about her fiance in advance, so that she can make more plans for the future. After all, it is a girl’s family. It’s not easy to let too many people know about private matters, so I didn’t tell my mother.”

Saying that, she looked at Duan Youran proudly: “I’m not talking nonsense, it’s all the truth, I haven’t even fabricated a single bad word from Shi Yan.”

Duan Youran held Zong Shixiang’s arm gratefully: “Yeah, I would like to thank my cousin for helping me. I am also a daughter of a good family. When I met the prefect’s son, I couldn’t help but be moved.

Cousin, aunt, can you understand me? “

Zong Shixiang nodded again and again: “Of course I understand, cousin, you are here to retire today, right? I guessed it right! It should have been done long ago, what does it mean for others to say a few words? It doesn’t affect eating or drinking, As long as you have a good life, what’s the point of being told a few words?”

Duan: “…”

Duan Shi was shrewd and confused for a while. He originally thought that the fence in his yard was very strong. Without her permission, others in the village could only hear what she wanted others to hear.

Unexpectedly, she was slapped in the face by her niece and daughter together, making her dizzy and unable to recover.

Shi Yan didn’t know about this at first, but some people couldn’t hold back their breath and took the initiative to run up to him to check their presence.

In the evening, Shi Yan practiced the sword all day in the yard, sweating all over, looking a little embarrassed, leaning against the tree to rest with closed eyes, Xiao Hungry went out to the door to pick up the food box.

Recently, due to Zong Chijian’s stay in the village, the kitchen began to deliver food to Shi Yan again. At first, the man wanted to go into the yard to take a closer look. After being chased by Xiao Hung and bit off a piece of meat on his butt, No one ever made this idea again, so he turned around and ran away with the food box still at the door.

It’s ridiculous to limp.

After Shi Yan finished practicing, Xiao Hungry would hang the heavy food box around his neck and bring it in from outside the door. After saving the trouble of going to the kitchen to be a gentleman on the beam, Xiao Hungry himself was quite happy.

But today was a little different from usual. When Xiao Hungry entered the yard, there was another person behind him.

Shi Yan’s clothes were messy, and there were a few strands of hair stuck to the top of his head. He closed his eyes and leaned against the tree. His breathing was shallow, and his chest rose and fell gently, making it impossible to tell whether he was really asleep or just asleep.

The footsteps are brisk, and it sounds like he has a bit of kung fu, but according to Shi Yan’s judgment standard, this kung fu is not as good as that of the **** inner disciples in the village. Erbi, Shi Yan was too lazy to answer.

The visitor didn’t think so. Seeing Shi Yan like this, she only felt embarrassed, everyone could be bullied, and she lived a life inferior to pigs and dogs, and she felt very happy!

Two years ago, I had countless dreams on and off. The various scenes in the dream were intertwined, and the long ones seemed to have gone through a lifetime. When I recovered, I found that everything in my life matched the dream. I think all this is a warning from God.

It was the same in my dream. I first met Xie Chaoshu. He was bookish, tall and jade-like. He was a gentleman who was completely different from the people in the rivers and lakes. the opponent’s figure.

I thought that the two had only one relationship, and since then Xie Lang was a passer-by, but one day, Dad told himself that the man was actually the second son of the Jiangnan prefect’s family, and the other party’s family intended to let Xie Lang marry the people in the rivers and lakes.

After some operations by Daddy, the marriage of the two of them was finally confirmed there. The wish was fulfilled, and the joy in my heart at that time, only heaven and earth can know.

Dad believed very much in the aunt who had brought countless hopes to the family since childhood, and asked her to work from it, quietly withdrawing from his marriage with Shi Yan.

Unexpectedly, her aunt only had the interests of Zhejian Villa and her own daughter in her eyes, so she managed to marry her cousin Zong Shixiang to Xie Chaoshu, while herself, having had a relationship with Zong Shiyan for no reason before the marriage, could only marry the useless and useless Zong Shiyan, and was neglected by the other party. , ridiculed, followed by the scorn and humiliation he suffered, and the humiliation he had spent half his life.

He could only watch from a distance that Xie Lang showed great hospitality to his cousin, endured the grief and became an irrelevant passerby.

That’s okay, if my cousin lives with Xie Lang Ann, her heart will be sour, and she still hopes that person will live happily, but her cousin should never have to, and she shouldn’t be playing with Xie Lang, who is on the top of her heart. In between, within half a year of marriage, he had a scandal with the young master of the Jianghu Demon Sect, and he was still unclear about the flower picking thief. In the end, he followed the five princes of the imperial court to Beijing, went out and went in pairs, and abandoned Xie Lang like a mess. Led, let Xie Lang lose face, depression and despair.

Although he tried his best to leave Zhejian Villa and walked to Xie Lang, Xie Lang also felt pity for him, but he accepted him because his eyes were similar to his cousin. Cousin, how unfair?

Therefore, a year ago, I started the layout, silently cut off my aunt’s way of letting my cousin marry Xie Lang, grabbed it in front of everyone, fell in love with Xie Lang, and asked Xie Lang to take the initiative to talk to the family about him. ‘s relatives.

Then he went up to Zhejian Villa, and shared the matter with his aunt in the sun, so that his aunt had no excuses.

Afterwards, it was time to withdraw from the relatives, and in front of everyone, clearly and clearly withdrew from the relatives with Zong Shiyan! She wants to break up with this person cleanly, and she wants to make him humiliated!

In my last life, this person ruined my whole life. If I hadn’t had a relationship with this person inexplicably, and soon found out that I was pregnant, how would I feel discouraged, give up struggling, and marry him according to my aunt’s expectations. ?

Just wait, one day, none of these people will let go!

Duan Youran stood two steps away, with a dog between him and Shi Yan, looking down at the embarrassed Shi Yan, the smile on the corner of his mouth could hardly be suppressed.

Not to mention Shi Yan, even Xiao Hungry felt the malice emanating from the woman in front of him. Xiao Hung smelled the scent of the woman who wanted to come in with him, and then sniffed Shi Yan with a wrinkled nose, and finally decided in his heart, or The cub that I raised smells good.

So he happily leaned on Shi Yan, one person and one dog reclining under the tree dozing, completely ignoring Duan Youran who was aggressive and deliberately taunting Shi Yan.

Duan Youran gritted her teeth, determined that Shi Yan was doing it on purpose, and said, “Shi Yan, I tell you, you’d better be aware of the current affairs, and take the initiative to take out the token of the marriage contract between the two of us. Otherwise, hum!”

Shi Yan sighed inwardly, feeling a little regretful that he kicked Xiao Jia back to class, and now he can’t even complain to someone who knows what he does.

This man can’t do it.

He could only slowly open his eyes, tilt his head and look carefully at the woman standing in front of him.

The eyes are somewhat similar to Zong Shixiang, but Zong Shixiang is extremely stupid and extremely evil, and the person in front of him looks bright and moving at first glance, generous and hearty, take a closer look, what is hidden under the eyes is At the age of fifty or sixty, he had been scheming and vicious for a lifetime of begging but not resenting.

It is definitely not the eyes that a normal flower girl can have.

Shi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, which was very interesting.

Resisting the urge to make calculations, Shi Yan decided to be a serious Jianghu person, a Jianghu person with a brain.

Duan Youran’s heart suddenly jumped, and she involuntarily took a step back. For a moment, she had a strange feeling that she was seen through by the young man in front of her at a glance. It was the kind of feeling of seeing the depths of the soul, which made people terrified and shuddered. I really saw it. Ghostly.

After regaining her senses, Duan Youran was secretly annoyed, took two steps forward, raised her chest, and deliberately emphasized that she didn’t care.

“Who are you?”

Duan Youran was stunned.

“It’s okay to go out, don’t disturb me, and close the door by the way.”

It was only then that Duan Youran understood that she questioned as soon as she came up, and she did not report her family. At a glance, he recognized that the person in front of him was the beast Zong Shiyan, but Zong Shiyan never knew him in his dreams, so he really shouldn’t know himself.

“I’m Duan Youran, I believe your mother told you about your engagement with me, right? After all, if you don’t firmly grasp the life-saving straw of our Duan family, you will be destined to be killed by my uncle in the future. It’s not a good feeling that the descendants will have to rely on others to get up when the pulse is pressed down, right?”

Thinking of the vicious woman Ding Wan in her previous life, she looked down on her having a relationship with Shi Yan before marriage, and at the same time did not dare to offend their Duan family and had to make a pleasing gesture.

In my memory, Ding Wan did talk to Shi Yan, but Shi Yan never took it seriously. At that time, he wanted to practice the sword well, retake the Folding Sword Villa, let his mother live a good life, and marry his eldest aunt. My niece has no interest in this matter.

Shi Yan asked Duan Youran, who reported to his family, a question seriously: “Did you come alone?”

But leisurely stunned: “What?”

Shi Yan repeated it seriously: “Aborted the marriage, did you come alone?”

Duan Youran didn’t know what to do, raised her chin and said proudly: “Look at the dilapidated little yard you live in now, and you’ve lived a life inferior to pigs and dogs, do you still want to see the elders in my family? For something like you, it’s enough for me to come in person, isn’t it?”

If it wasn’t for the sake of seeing Shi Yan’s miserable state with his own eyes, Duan Youran wouldn’t even plan to let anyone in his family come to Zhejian Villa, Shi Yan is not worthy! To send a housekeeper who can do the best in the family is already looking at the face of Shi Yan’s dead father.

Not only is Shi Yan unworthy, but also her aunt who has lost her conscience and her uncle who has fake benevolence, righteousness and morality. As long as she has this letter of resignation written by her father in her arms, she will withdraw from the marriage!

Shi Yan sighed, this woman, even though she has lived in the depths of her soul for decades, she has never lived a day wisely and clearly, her eyes are completely covered by false things, and she only sees what she wants to see. One-third of an acre of land has been abandoned.

Shi Yan had to remind again: “The dowry gift my father gave to your family back then included silk satin, gold and silver jewelry, antique calligraphy and painting, coral pearls, Zhuangzi shop, all kinds of jewelry, about 400,000 taels of silver, and the list was in three forms. share.

I have one here, one in your family, and another on file with the government. “

Shi Yan slowly raised his head again, and looked at Duan Youran calmly: “Miss Duan, don’t you think that with your family’s mouth, the kiss will retire according to your family’s wishes?

If you want to come alone, these things are still well stored in your warehouse, and they will be kept as a dowry for you in the future, and they will be brought back to my ancestral home. Since your family’s will is firm and you don’t want to keep this marriage for the night, I’d like to trouble the girl to have your family send the dowry gift back, lest you have a long night. “

After Shi Yan finished speaking, he slapped Xiao Hungry, who looked at him and Duan Youran curiously, and asked in a low voice, “Do you think it’s not worth it to buy 400,000 taels of silver for an unruly and willful woman? Huh?

When the money is in hand, I will buy you as much meat and bones as you want! “

Duan Youran’s hand hidden under her sleeve was already clenched tightly, so that she would not show any indignity in front of Shi Yan, who looked down on her. silver? Where is the silver? What’s more, it’s 400,000 taels of silver!

You must know that after Zong Chixian became the first person in the martial arts, he had accumulated for several years, and he took it out for his beloved son as an engagement ceremony at one time. Today’s Duan family does not eat or drink for three years, and they don’t necessarily have those savings, not to mention that the Duan family has a great career, and it is not his father who has the final say.

When the two got engaged, Duan Youran was still young, and no one would tell her the truth. But after experiencing a dream, she vaguely understood a lot of things. For example, the Duan family wanted to marry her aunt to the famous Zong Chixian in order to change her family’s situation.

However, Zong Chixian, the proud son of the sky, never got his eyes on the fallen Duan family daughter, so they changed their minds and hit the honest and honest Zong Chijian. The plan was very successful, but unfortunately there is Zong Chixian’s Folding Sword Villa, Zong Chijian has no right to speak, and it does not help their Duan family’s recovery in the slightest.

Later, the Duan family put their minds on Zong Chixian’s only son Zong Shiyan, and through his cousin Ding Wan, who was Zong Chixian’s wife, they made peace in the middle, and finally settled on the marriage.

Zong Chixian was really reluctant to his only son. The engagement ceremony for the two children was generously given away 400,000 taels, which instantly filled the Duan family’s coffers. The Duan family quickly opened up the joints with the money emerging in.

I thought that the Duan family climbed the big tree of Zong Zhixian, and from then on, they could sit back and relax in the martial arts. Who knows that the will of heaven is unpredictable, Zong Chixian fell in the battle between Zheng and Demon, and Zong Chijian fell into the hands of the ordinary Zong Chijian. This uncle used to be silent and honest. This person is destined to follow in the footsteps of their Duan family, and it will be a matter of time before they fall.

The Duan family has already thought about the way back.

The result was beyond everyone’s expectations, Zhejian Villa has an unparalleled position in the martial arts so far, and the backer of the Duan family has also changed from the in-law family of Zong Chixian to the in-law family of Zong Chijian.

Shi Yan kindly reminded: “If the gold, silver and jade items are not easy to carry, you can fold them into silver bills and send them to me, saving time and effort. As for the antique calligraphy and painting, the value of the antiques may increase over the years, and 400,000 taels of silver can be kept in your house for nothing. How much interest has been lost, since we are relatives, we will forgive it for you.”

Duan Youran’s face was pale, and her body shook involuntarily. At this moment, she finally understood one thing. In her dream, her parents were by her side. How did she have an inexplicable relationship with Shi Yan, the poor worm who was under the fence? Can’t find any clues!

Because of such a large sum of money, the Duan family is unwilling to give it out anyway. Even if it is his biological daughter, his father will not lose the Duan family’s savings of not eating or drinking for three years for nothing! Father can’t explain to the clan!

Even if the father agrees, the Duan family will not agree! Sacrificing one of yourself for 400,000 taels of silver is a good deal, isn’t it?

No wonder! No wonder!

Duan Youran stumbled away, and Xiao Hungry’s eyes were filled with ignorance. Shi Yan smoothed it out for him: “Probably because he found out that he was very valuable, he was too excited.”

He asked Xiao Hungry again: “We will have money soon. What do you want to do when you have money? Huh?”
