MTL - Self-cultivation of Male Supporting Role-Chapter 377 the volunteers

To say that Shi Yan did have his own purpose in finding this man, but this purpose was different from what Yang Hegao thought.

In the eyes of Yang Hegao or anyone who knew the identity of the old gentleman, it was Shi Yan's wholehearted effort to pursue a career through his hand, and there was almost no second possibility.

But Shi Yan took the unexpected second route, he wanted to find a husband for his daughter.

After nearly a year of observation, Shi Yan found that A Yun was smart and agile. This can be known from the plot, otherwise he would not have become a capable person by his side under the guidance of the male protagonist.

But what Shi Yan wants to say is that A Yun's intelligence is not only reflected in assisting the male protagonist in the barracks.

But the real wisdom is everything, and many things, including the things Shi Yan has done on weekdays, the books he has read, and the words he has occasionally said, will make Ayun ponder.

Once a person can think independently, her life will have countless possibilities at countless nodes. But smart people have a problem, that is, they tend to go astray when there is no one to guide them.

Therefore, Shi Yan wanted to find a suitable husband to teach her.

As for why Shi Yan did not teach himself, the reason is very simple.

First of all, there are a lot of out of place things in his mind, and he always brings out one or two inadvertently on weekdays. The father-daughter relationship between the two is too close, and they live under the same roof. Ayun is young, and it is the age when he loves to learn to be close to his elders. These things about him will be learned by smart children more or less.

These things are a blessing in disguise for today's women, especially those born in commoner families.

Therefore, Shi Yan wanted to find a gentleman for his daughter, who would not only guide her well, allow her to be accepted by the mainstream while giving full play to her best value, but also allow her to live freely and freely.

Of course, after staring at this old gentleman, there is another plan.

Shi Yan didn't have the idea of ​​going to work on his way to work, but if her daughter wanted to not feel wronged, it would be a good choice for her to find a capable teacher and a capable teacher.

"You and I have heard the reputation of the Meijia Academy in remote towns. Now the head of the academy is Mr. Mei's direct brother. The students from the academy are all over the mountains and mountains.

The old man himself was also a two-rank jinshi when he was young. Today, Mr. Xiangguo has been taught by him, and the old man himself has a lot of influence in the court.

I don't know how many people wanted to worship him but couldn't get in. "

Shi Yan told Yang Hegao about the old man one by one, with a smile on his face: "Would you like to read with the old man?"

Yang Hegao was indeed very greedy, but he was more practical, shaking his head and waving his hand: "Sir, what you said is indeed very tempting, as long as you think that one day the power will control the wind and call the rain, it will make people's heart move.

But the first truth He Gao learned in his years as a beggar was also a truth that he could not forget in his bones. Only when you are full can you have a future.

Otherwise, the day will be precarious, the clothing will not be enough, the last meal will not last, and no matter how much you think about it, it will be a dream of Nanke. If there is no tomorrow, how can you think about the future? A person like Mr. Mei is not someone who can climb up if he wants to. "

He stared at Shi Yan's eyes and said very seriously: "Sir, my eyes are so small that I can only see in front of me."

What's more, what he wants to say is: "Mr. Mei is really amazing, his family, and even his academy is also amazing, but in He Gao's heart, you are the best gentleman in the world!"

For the first time, Yang Hegao confessed his feelings to Shi Yan directly. He was a little uncomfortable, but his attitude was firm. After speaking, he scratched his head to avoid Shi Yan's gaze, and went to play with the two children. From the look in his eyes, Shi Yan could see that this kid really thought so.

Looking at his brisk back, Shi Yan rarely thinks about this kid's future, otherwise I will be sorry for his trust.

Days passed by, and Mr. Mei went to the rice noodle shop every day. In addition to Yang Hegao's exceptionally positive performance on the first day, Mr. Mei was treated like an ordinary diners in the rice noodle shop recently.

There was no unnecessary action on Shi Yan's face, and after a small half-month, he didn't say a word to Mr. Mei.

The two of them are the most familiar strangers in one sentence. They belong to the kind that only has a simple money transaction relationship. You give money, I sell fans, and both silver and goods are paid.

At first, Yang Hegao was able to hold back, thinking that his husband had his own minds, but after so long, the two of them didn't even catch up with each other. Yang Hegao was anxious for Mr. Bubbles, bright and conspicuous, was pulled by Shi Yan and poured three days of Huanglian soup.

The bitter whole person's will has been depressed a lot, and there is no taste in the mouth after eating for half a month.

As a result, the Huanglian soup was drunk in vain, and the scabs in the front were scabbed, and there was a row in the back.

Those who didn't know thought he didn't study well and went out to be a thief in the middle of the night.

He was really angry, how lucky he was to meet Mei, no matter how many scholars asked for it. Being able to have a relationship with the old gentleman is a life-changing thing. Of course he is anxious for the best gentleman in the world!

When Shi Yan took a look, hey, he really couldn't hide this from this kid, so he found a time to bring people to the study and explained his plans one by one.

Yang Hegao was very shocked at first, but he was quickly infected by the calm attitude of his husband. He felt that maybe he was making a fuss. Is it normal for him to think so?

So following this line of thought, he quickly discovered the problem: "Recently, I have asked someone carefully, if the Mei's Academy accepts students, the requirements may be relaxed a little bit. Keep your head up and be respected.

But there are rules in the academy. Female students have never been confiscated. There are even regulations that young women are not allowed to enter and leave the academy at will.

Therefore, it is impossible for Ayun to become a student of Mei's Academy.

As for letting Mr. Mei accept Ayun as a closed-door disciple, I don't even dare to think about it. "

Yang Hegao looked at Shi Yan with admiration in his eyes: "Sir, you dare to think so much, Hegao is ashamed!"

"I heard Liu Gongzi talk a lot these days, and only then did I know that when I got to the position of Mr. Mei, the closed disciples were not able to accept them if they wanted to.

The closing disciple of the old gentleman means that he is the junior brother of Lord Xiangguo, and has become natural allies with many people in the court.

To say something taboo, Mr. Mei once taught Jinshang, and it seems that Mr. Mei's students and Jinshang are also in the same class.

At this level, accepting a closed disciple is not only his personal matter, but also depends on the attitude of the family. If you only accept it to serve you around, it doesn't have much impact, and anyone can accommodate it.

But the question is, who would believe that the closed-door disciple accepted at this time is someone who can serve and live with peace of mind?

Let's not mention these, it's all after Mr. Mei agreed to accept Ayun as his disciple, provided that we have a way to get Mr. Mei to nod in agreement. "

Although it is not entirely correct, the attitude of this kid who has done a lot of homework recently is worthy of recognition.

So Shi Yan explained a little: "So Ayun's female identity is a constraint and a protection for her. It depends on the attitude of Mr. Mei at that time."

The restriction means that there has never been a precedent for a female disciple in the Mei family, and even the girls in the Mei family can go to school for women in the clan, and they read the same books as men. Asking the old gentleman to accept female disciples suddenly increases the difficulty.

Protection means that once the old gentleman nods, her identity as a woman is destined for her to be unable to do many things, the vigilance of others towards her will be infinitely reduced, her classmates will be more tolerant, and the outside world will be more respectful.

"As for how to get Mr. Mei to nod?" Shi Yan looked at a cookbook that he had just finished writing on the shelf last night, and chuckled lightly, "If you are a human being, you have weaknesses. If you find it right, it will be broken with a single blow, just wait. Not in a hurry!"

Shi Yan said that he was not in a hurry, Yang Hegao thought that things would come to an end soon, but who would have thought that another three months had passed, and Mr. Zhou was busy preparing for the township exam.

Yang Hegao was somewhat anxious in his heart, because he was afraid that the duck he got in his hand would fly, and when he turned his head, he saw that the master was very calm, and his face did not reveal the slightest emotion. study, sir."

This one was squatting under the tree to accompany Ayun and Xiaobao to paste paper kites to temper their temperament, and saw Liu Erbo bring someone in.

At first glance, the clothes of the visitor do not look conspicuous, but if you look closely, the white collar of the clothes is exposed under the coarse linen clothes, and it looks like it is made of soft and delicate cotton.

Melaleuca shoes stepped on the bluestone road, leaving a slightly damp shoe print on it. If you look carefully, the shape of the plum blossom is evenly detailed on the shoe print. This is not the leisure and elegance that ordinary people can have.

These discoveries did not move Yang Hegao's face, what made him want to stand up on the spot to meet him was the face of someone who came, but wasn't it the Mr. Mei who he had been thinking about in the past few months!

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he forced Ayun and Xiaobao to stand up to greet the visitors, Liu Erbo explained to the three with a silly smile: "This is the one who often goes to our store for powder. Mr. Mei, Hego, you should know.

The old man heard that our boss is compiling the "Food Classic", and we just have the materials that the boss needs, so I came to visit today! "

The pride that Liu Erbo brought on his face could not be concealed. In his eyes, Mei was always an ordinary diners. The diners were so obsessed with their rice noodles that they even came to visit the host on purpose. This was the greatest achievement of the shop's labor. compliment.

Yang Hegao felt that his legs and feet were numb with excitement, but in fact, his face was very calm and saluted: "Yes, it is common for old gentlemen to go to the store to eat noodles, but I didn't expect to see them at home today. You, too, are fate.

My husband should be in the study at the moment. Since you and your husband have something to talk about, I won't bother you much. Let Uncle Liu show you the way! "

Speaking of giving way, there is a bit of a sense of neither humble nor arrogant.

Mr. Mei is also interesting. When he met three children, he directly pulled down the purse hanging from his waist, like a real villager, and like neighbors visiting each other, he took out three pieces of bright candy and put them in into the hands of three people.

Looking at the disfigured Zhi Yuan, who was humiliated by the three of them, he touched the foreheads of the three of them, and said with a smile: "They are all good children, and the owner is very lucky!"

The two youngsters glanced at brother Hegao, and when they saw brother Hegao nod, they happily took the candy.

Taking other people's things, especially Xiaobao, when he saw the candy his father never let him eat, his eyes lit up instantly, and he bowed his hands to Mr. Mei very sweetly: "Xiaobao bows to grandpa, grandpa, you are really a good person. !"

Yang Hegao was angrily laughed at by this kid. It wasn't so shameful, but what else could he do? Quickly and Ayun thanked Mr. Mei.

I saw that although this kid was greedy, he didn't immediately put the candy into his mouth, but the sound of swallowing was caught by a few people.

As a result, people wanted to cover their mouths with their little fat hands and said: "Xiaobao is not greedy, Xiaobao is not drooling, Xiaobao likes grandpa, grandpa is really a big and good person! In the future, I will invite grandpa to play at home more. Son!"

The eyes of the guilty conscience rolled around, I really didn't see it, Yang Hegao didn't know how such a gentleman could give birth to such a foodie son, it really hurt the reputation of the gentleman.

For the first time in his life, Mr. Mei received such unpretentious and straightforward flattery. He couldn't be teased. He took off the purse from his waist again. Under Xiaobao's surprised eyes, he slowly turned the purse inside. Got a size.

The child showed it to Xiaobao in a childlike manner: "Look, no more, will you still welcome grandpa to play at home in the future?"

Xiaobao felt that he was a big-hearted child. Although he was disappointed, he still patted his chest and said to Mr. Mei, "Grandpa is so pitiful. Next time, Xiaobao will keep his own candy. When grandpa comes, Xiaobao will invite grandpa to eat it!"

Mr. Mei was amused and laughed, and followed Uncle Liu, but before he took two steps, he heard the smart boy talking to someone in a low voice in his own opinion: "Sister, next time Grandpa's house comes, you will definitely bring a gift. , we will not suffer...".

The smugness in his tone made the well-informed Mr. Mei stop.

Ayun answered briskly, and warned in a small voice: "Sister knows, but can't say it."

Xiaobao is a sincere child, so he asked, "That's the truth!"

A Yun couldn't explain the reasoning inside, so he only covered his brother's mouth with the same chubby little hand, and emphasized with a serious face: "But I can't say it!"

Uncle Liu, who was leading the way for Elder Mei, sped up a lot with the naked eye. Yang Hegao covered his face in pain and couldn't imagine how Elder Mei looked when he heard it.

The husband waved his **** in front of him and wanted to teach her a teacher, but Ayun dismantled the walls and feet behind him so fast that no one would have thought that he completely missed the old man as soon as they met.

Bless yourself.

At the same time, Yang Hegao also understood what the husband said before, that he can't continue to teach the two children, the two children are used to being free at home, what to say.

Especially Ayun, she is too smart and young. She is half-understood and ignorant of many things. It is easy to give people the impression of worldliness and different appearances in her actions, which is not a good thing for a girl's family.

Hope everything goes as Mr.

Everything in the study was quiet and peaceful, which was exactly what the husband thought, but there was a big gap between what the husband thought and what Yang Hegao thought.

Shi Yan took out his recently completed "The Classic of Food" and discussed with Mr. Mei one by one. The conversation was full of love for food. The two of them discussed which ingredients are the best in what season, and which ingredients should be used in which way. A series of discussions have been carried out on how to preserve the original taste of cooking, and where the most authentic ingredients are produced.

During the period, there was no shortage of citations and classics, tracing back to the source. When Mr. Mei said the first half of the sentence, Shi Yan knew where it came from. When Shi Yan said a certain book, Mr. Mei expressed his views on it.

Both have the same or different views. At the same time, they shared a drink to reward their confidants, and at the same time, they did not try to convince the other party. When they were enjoying themselves, Shi Yan stroked his palms and smiled, inviting Mr. Mei to have dinner at home.

"The boy cooks himself, please try the boy's craftsmanship!"

Mr. Mei also readily responded, and did not show the fear and discomfort of being an ordinary person and letting the scholar-guru cook for him. There was no reluctance on Shi Yan's face.

The two are simply like Boya Ziqi meeting a bosom friend. There is no difference in identity, status, or age. At this moment, it is just two people who love food colliding. There are countless people who want to share their joy with each other. Happy like two children.

No one mentioned the identity of the other party, nor did they say one more word to the other party's apparent age, experience, life experience, and family environment.

Who can't have their own little secrets in life?

Confidant, you should give each other enough respect.

Shi Yan invited Mr. Mei to the kitchen at home for a look. Mr. Mei didn't have the idea of ​​a gentleman staying away from the kitchen, so he followed immediately. The two were in the kitchen for nearly an hour, and Yang Hegao was kept at the gate of the courtyard during the period, and no one was disturbed. .

The smell of the food wafted out of the kitchen, swaying all the way around the nose of everyone, and drifting away mischievously, only the fragrance lingered on the tip of the nose, and the heart of the hooked people was rippling.

The old lady Miao couldn't stand the torment of the fragrance, so she didn't care about her eyes, she took Xiao Ma Zha for a walk and went to the aunt's house next door to chat.

The two children wrinkled their noses and stretched their necks to look at the gate of the courtyard. Xiaobao's saliva dripped from the corners of his mouth, and Yang Hegao wet the entire sleeve of the saliva wipe.

Stimulated by the various scents in the air, the old lady wanted to learn from Miao and left, but when he left, there was no one to take care of him, so he could only continue to suffer and be happy.

In the courtyard, Shi Yan and Mrs. Mei turned a blind eye to the three heads that were exposed from time to time at the door. The two sat at the table, sipping a small drink and a dish, talking and laughing. It was very lively, and they showed a bit of understanding from time to time. He smiled narrowly, tacitly touched a glass, heard a sound of swallowing from the door, and satisfied another mouthful of food.

Delicious.

Shi Yan took a sip of wine and breathed a sigh of relief.

He took out his real skills, and after a few months of special care for Mr. Mei, the taste of rice noodles in Mr. Mei's mouth increased day by day. The old man might not think so at first. After all, he has eaten too many good things, and the price of rice noodles is sky high. After all, it's just a bowl of rice noodles.

But later, the taste is too overbearing. When I eat it, I don't feel it, but if I don't eat it for a day, I always don't think about tea and rice. I feel that there is something unfinished today, I usually worry about it in my heart, as if it has magic power.

It has completely cultivated the eating habits of the elderly.

Later, he mentioned to Mr. Liu inadvertently in the store: "I am writing a book of folk cuisines near Bai'an County, "The Classic of Food", and I hope Mr. Liu can be a matchmaker in it."

It happened that Mr. Mei heard it.

Although the old man didn't say anything on the spot, he didn't even lift his eyelids, but he's still waiting for someone today!

A long time later, Yang Hegao asked Shi Yan: "Sir, you act like this, how do you know that Mr. Mei accepts Ayun as his apprentice, and he values ​​her, or does he think she has a father like you?"

Shi Yan was quite proud: "I'm looking for a master for my daughter based on my ability, who is in the way?"
