Male supporting role is not a stepping stone

Chapter 285 The True and False Prince 2 (1/2)

One person's emotions have an impact on the entire family. Previously, the original owner was depressed and could not show his face. His parents were worried, his brother and sister-in-law were also worried, and even his two nieces and nephews were careful not to make too much noise at home.

Now that Yang Yan is active and enthusiastic, the whole Su family is exuding vitality. Su's father and his three sons are all beaming when they go out to work, and Su's mother is full of laughter when working with her daughters-in-law.

The two little guys are even more amazing. After only being together for one day, they are not afraid of this fourth uncle at all. Sometimes they pick up some small things they like and show them to him, sometimes they pick grass and ask him to make up little animals, and sometimes they pester him to tell stories. story……

Yang Yan had nothing to do for the time being, he couldn't even move around, so he was happy to coax them to play. The two little guys called each other "fourth uncle", and the fourth uncle was promoted to their favorite person.

But that was the only day they could play with their fourth uncle all day long. In the afternoon, Su's mother bought back paper and pen and ink as promised, and he started writing the next day.

The original owner was hit hard before and liked to stay alone in the dark, so his sister-in-law Xin made him a thick curtain, which he opened to cover the windows day and night.

Yang Yan couldn't stand this. The conditions at home were such that it was embarrassing to change the curtains, but it didn't matter, just open them, and then push the papered window open.

Warm sunlight shone into the room, and although it was small but neatly tidied by Su's mother, the room instantly became warmer.

Sitting in front of the desk by the window, Yang Yan glanced at Daniu and Daya who were playing quietly in the yard, chuckled lightly and picked up the pen. Let's write a cool article first.

Jin Shouhou Mansion

When the sky was twilight, a sneaky figure appeared on the wall. He looked around and saw that no one was passing by. He quickly climbed up the branch that stretched over the wall, climbed to the trunk, and then carefully slid down.

He was so agile that he landed easily in less than half a cup of tea. He couldn't help but whistle to himself, but when he turned around, the proud smile suddenly froze on his face.

"What are you doing?" Jin Shouhou's appearance was already very serious, and it was even more scary when his face dropped.

Zuo Yangyi only felt that his legs were weak. He tried hard to control himself so as not to kneel down on the spot. He forced himself to calm down and said: "Dad got up so early too! I just climbed up to see if there were any fruits. Haha, I'm a little greedy. ”

His dry laughter became smaller and smaller under his father's stern gaze, and finally disappeared.

"This is a banyan tree. What kind of fruit are you looking for?" Jin Shouhou almost laughed angrily, "You didn't learn well at a young age. You pretended to be sleeping and sneaked out to play. You stayed out all night. If you were caught, you dared to lie. You are very brave. !”

"Now that Dad knows everything, why are you still asking me?" Zuo Yangyi was a little frightened, took a few steps back and leaned against the tree trunk, muttering in a low voice.

"You still dare to talk back?" Jin Shouhou looked at him as if he was looking at something that was an eyesore. "Zuo Yangyi, look what you have been doing these days since you came back? Skip classes, curse, talk back, fight, and now you have learned how to stay at night. Not going home and lying to others.”

"I pity you for living abroad since you were a child. I have loved you very much since the day I brought you back. I have invited the best master to teach you knowledge, personally teach you etiquette, and take you to banquets and make friends."

"In order to train you to be a qualified heir, I can say that I have tried my best, but you are stubborn and disobedient. Don't think that the position of heir is yours. I am not the only son! "

"I didn't say I wanted to be the crown prince. You can give that position to whoever you want!" Zuo Yangyi looked at him stubbornly, "I am originally a farmer's boy. I am vulgar and ignorant and can't stand on the stage, and I don't deserve to be high up. Since the Marquis Mansion is so dissatisfied with me, just send me back!"

"Okay, okay -" Jin Shou Hou turned livid with anger, "I think in your heart, our Hou Mansion is not worthy of you Zuo Yangyi. If that's the case..."

"Master Hou!" Mrs. Hou hurried over after hearing the news and hurriedly interrupted what he was about to say, "Master Hou, calm down, Yi'er is still young. If you do something wrong, we can teach you patiently. Don't do anything out of anger. Something irreversible.”

"Do you think he can be taught?" Jin Shou Hou was still angry, "I have put in so much effort, even a stubborn stone should be enlightened, but he makes mistakes again and again, and refuses to change despite repeated admonitions. Not even one ten thousandth of Yan'er's."

"Master Hou!" Mrs. Hou quickly stopped her, but it was already too late. The words she shouldn't have said had already been spoken.

Jin Shouhou knew that he had made a mistake, but he did not feel that he was wrong. His biological son was indeed not as good as his adopted son, who was astonishingly talented and beautiful. However, he could only think about this in his heart and should not say it out loud.

"You should reflect on yourself!" After saying these words, he turned around and left. The group of servants who followed him also left in a hurry. Only the two mother and son and Madam Hou's confidants were left.

Zuo Yangyi looked at his retreating back and was so sad that tears fell down: "Since Zuo Yangyan is so good, why don't you just bring him back? I will give up my position to him and go back to be my farm boy! "

"Aren't you digging into my mother's heart by saying such things?" Mrs. Hou covered her chest in pain, "You are my mother's biological son, and no matter how good others are, they can't compare to your position in my heart. "

Zuo Yangyi said angrily: "But I am not as good as him in everything. I am not as good at reading as he is, my posture is not as good as his, and I am not even as good-looking as him. Since everyone likes him, why don't we just make mistakes?"

"Why do you have to argue with me? You are the blood of the Marquis and me, and you are your biggest support." The Marquis's wife advised earnestly, "If it weren't for the accidental mistakes back then, and the Marquis's family didn't devote all their efforts to training and teaching, what future would he have as a farmer? Wouldn't he still be digging for food in the soil like those people in the Su family?"

Zuo Yangyi felt a little more comfortable, thinking that if he had grown up in the Marquis's house since childhood, he might not be worse than that cheap brother.

But he was not very happy that his mother used this tone to talk about the Su family: "Mom, don't say that about my parents and brothers, they all treat me well at home."

The Marquis's wife felt blocked in her heart: "I am your mother, the Marquis is your father, and this is your home. Don't say the wrong thing again in the future, otherwise it will be bad if people hear it."

Zuo Yangyi lowered his head and said nothing. In fact, if possible, he really wanted to be the carefree fourth child of the Su family. Although he ate well and dressed well in the Marquis's house, and there was a large group of people serving him without working, he felt that he was not as happy as before.

In the past, he could laugh and jump as he wanted in the village, climb trees and go to the river. It was not like now, where people would remind him anytime and anywhere: this is not allowed, that is not allowed, there are rules for sitting, standing, walking, eating, and even talking.

He was going crazy with rules all day long!

Seeing his attitude, the Marquis’s wife felt a little cold in her heart, but now Yan’er was useless, and she had only one son, so she could only suppress her unhappiness.

Pulling his hand, she whispered softly: "If you feel bored and want to go out in the future, tell your mother and take the servant with you wherever you go. The Marquis is angry because he is worried about your safety."

"I mentioned it to you before, didn't you agree?" Zuo Yangyi softened his attitude and complained in a low voice.

The Marquis's wife choked for a moment and said helplessly: "Isn't it okay for mother to promise you in the future? But you must bring a few people with you when you go out, so as not to bump into those ignorant people. Also, you are not allowed to go to indecent places."

Remembering that he did not return home last night, she asked him where he went. She learned that he just drank two cups with friends and stayed at her house. She was finally relieved and reminded him of some things that he needed to pay attention to. She stopped talking until he became impatient.

While the mother and son were talking, the Marquis of Jinshou walked towards the study with a frown on his face. When he passed by a place, he heard the sound of reading aloud from inside.

He stopped and looked up, only to find that it was the place where the teacher in the mansion was teaching, and the voice was the eldest son Zuo Yangning.

It stands to reason that a family like theirs would not have an eldest son, but when he and his wife had been married for three years without pregnancy, his mother decided to take a concubine. Not long after, the good news came, and he had a boy in one fell swoop.

At that time, everyone thought that the lady could not have children, so they took Ning'er to her lap to raise him. The two of them loved this son very much, but two years later, the lady found out that she was pregnant.

With a legitimate son, Ning'er's status became awkward. The lady said that she had no energy to take care of two children, so she gave him back to the concubine. In order to consolidate the status of the lady and the legitimate son, the Marquis of Jinshou deliberately ignored him.

Later, Yan'er grew up a little and showed extraordinary intelligence, which overshadowed the illegitimate sons. He would not pay attention to other heirs.

Thinking that such an excellent son was not his own son, and the legitimate son he found was not up to standard, the Marquis of Jinshou paused, opened the door and walked in.

Nanxiang Marquis's Mansion

In early March, the peach blossoms were in full bloom. A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl wore a light green skirt and happily picked petals with a little maid.

Her hair was tied into two small buns, and the hairband of the same color as her clothes was fluttering in the air. Her small oval face was white with a hint of pink, and the whole person exuded the same breath of spring from the inside out.

Suddenly, a pleasant sound of piano came from the front, and the girl showed a surprised smile on her face. She stopped collecting petals and trotted towards the direction of the piano sound with her little maid.

Branches of peach blossoms flashed in front of them, and they soon saw a woman in light pink sitting on the ground in the peach forest. Her face was like a bright moon, her cheeks were two pink, and she lowered her eyes and gently plucked the strings of the piano.

Pink petals were flying in the air, and some fell on her hair, adding some decoration to her and a bit of gorgeousness. She looked like a peach fairy and couldn't take her eyes away at a glance.

"Sister, you are so elegant today. You found such a good place to play the piano." The girl in green walked over with a smile. Her skirt fluttered and lifted up a pile of peach petals, breaking the dreamlike scenery just now.

The pink-dressed woman was Qin Yunxin, the eldest daughter of Nanxiang Marquis. She pressed the strings of the piano and looked over helplessly: "I was originally interested, but now it's all ruined by you, little girl."

"I got up early in the morning to pick petals and wanted to make peach blossom cake for my sister. I didn't expect to meet my sister here and be rejected. I'm so sad!" The girl in green said aggrievedly, but her face was full of quirks. She was Qin Shuiyao, the second daughter of Nanxiang Marquis.

"Okay, it's my fault. I said the wrong thing and made Yao'er sad." Qin Yunxin knew that she was pretending, but she still coaxed her according to her meaning, "Sister apologizes to you, Yao'er is not angry anymore."

"Sister lied, and she was still smiling when she apologized. You are not sincere at all!" Qin Shuiyao accused loudly.

"Okay!" Qin Yunxin tried his best to keep a straight face, "What does sister Yao'er want her to do before she is willing to accept her apology?"

But as soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't help it anymore and burst out laughing.

Qin Shuiyao suddenly became angry, turned around and wanted to break up with her over a cup of tea, no, a stick of incense!

The two sisters laughed and laughed for a long time before they stopped panting and asked the maids to move away. The two sisters leaned together and quietly watched the petals flying in the sky.

"Sister," after a while, Qin Shuiyao suddenly said worriedly, "are you really going to marry that Zuo Yangyi?"

Qin Yun was stunned, and said with a smile: "The wedding date has been set, and the matter is already fixed and cannot be changed. Why are you still struggling with this issue?"

"But I feel worthless for my sister!" Qin Shuiyao said angrily, "In the past, Zuo Yangyan became famous as a young man, and his appearance was excellent, so he is worthy of my sister."

"But who is Zuo Yangyi?" A look of disgust appeared on her face, "He was raised by farmers. In terms of talent and virtue, he is not good at poetry and writing. I'm afraid he can't even read a few Chinese characters. In terms of character, I heard that he acts He was vulgar and rude, and he got into a fight with someone when he returned to the Hou Mansion, and later even got into a fight.”

"As for appearance, although he looks decent, he is far behind Zuo Yangyan. If such a man does not have the qualifications to carry his sister's shoes, how can he be your husband? "

"Are you, a little girl who hasn't even got haircuts, allowed to talk about these gossips?" Qin Yunxin was shocked after hearing her thunderous words, "You are commenting on a man, and he is your future brother-in-law. Do you know these words?" If word gets out, your reputation will be completely ruined!"

"I'm just telling what's in my heart," Qin Shuiyao said nonchalantly, "Besides, there are only two of us sisters here, how can our whispers get out?"

Qin Yunxin looked around for a while, and then felt relieved when he saw that no one was eavesdropping. He seriously warned: "No matter who you are in front of, you must remember the four words 'Be careful in your words and deeds', even in an empty place." Don’t talk nonsense, you must know that walls have ears.”

Qin Shuiyao was a little disapproving, but seeing her stern expression, he did not dare to argue with her, and responded in a low voice: "I understand, sister, and I will never talk nonsense again."

Qin Yunxin saw that she was saying yes, but looking at her expression, he knew that she actually didn't take it to heart at all. He wanted to teach her a lesson, but he couldn't bear to see her cute and naive look.

He sighed in his heart and thought: That's all, Yao'er is still a little girl, what can she know? I just need to take care of him more in the future.

Even so, there are still some things that need to be said: "There is absolutely no possibility of changing my marriage to Zuo Yangyi. Besides, external rumors may not be credible, and he may not be that unbearable."

"I know you feel sorry for your sister, but Yao'er, he is destined to be my future husband and your brother-in-law. Even for the sake of our sisterly relationship, you must respect her more in the future."

Qin Shuiyao pursed her lips and was not very happy, but under her sister's solemn and somewhat sincere eyes, she finally nodded: "Okay, I listen to my sister and I will never look down upon him when I see him in the future. "

"Good Yao'er," Qin Yun felt relieved, caressed the top of her head and said, "Don't make a final decision on anything so early. Now those people have a bad opinion of him. Who knows what orders he won't make in the future?" A remarkable achievement?”

Qin Shuiyao looked at her intently for a moment, then lowered his head and said softly, "Hmm -".

After this conversation, the two sisters lost interest in enjoying the scenery. Qin Shuiyao asked Yun to make the peach blossom cake first. Qin Yunxin looked at her lively back and sighed faintly.

Seven days passed in a flash, and Yang Yan completed the first part of the storybook, which contained about 50,000 words. He almost lost his hand after not using a brush to write for many years.

However, the results are gratifying. The story is both sensational and funny, and the plot is compact and non-stop. It can definitely capture the readers' hearts firmly. The ending stops at the key point, "If you want to know what happens next, please read the breakdown next time." The words are enough to scratch one's heart.

How did Yang Yan know? You can understand it by looking at the reactions of other people in the family except the two little ones who still don't understand. If he is not his biological son/brother/brother-in-law, this group of people will probably have to force him to hurry up with knives. Write a follow-up.

In the end, family affection prevailed. Looking at his swollen wrist, the family finally let him go and allowed him to rest for a few days before writing.

Naturally, their original worries about being hit hard if he failed to write his storybook no longer existed. The family's evaluation of this was very unanimous, that is, his storybook would definitely be a "big seller".

Of course, Yang Yan was very confident. After telling them not to spread the word, he began to think about how to submit the article.

It's not that he's worried that the storybook won't be sold. I believe that as long as he's not blind, he will definitely print it after reading his storybook. What he is thinking is that the audience in the town is too small, and I'm afraid he won't make much money. It would be best to take it to the capital.

But now he is not good at business, and his brothers have never traveled far away, and they are still illiterate. If they go, they will inevitably be deceived.

When he was hesitating whether to go to the capital in person, a person appeared and solved his problem. The fifth child of the Su family returned home from bathing.

To say that the Su brothers all have good looks is mainly due to the good genes of Su's mother, not to say that Su's father is ugly. In fact, his appearance is quite decent, but it is just decent.

Su's mother is different. Yang Yan knows that she must have been a great beauty when she was young by looking at her facial features, and Su's father's words also confirm this.

It is said that when she fled here, Su's father took a fancy to her at first sight and exchanged a large bag of food for her to stay. He is still proud of his vision.

Most of the sons look like their mothers. Their family is full of boys, and they are more handsome from big to small. In the past, Zuo Yangyi lowered the level of the family. Later, it was found that he was taken by mistake. There were also neighbors who sighed that it was no wonder that they always felt that he was not a family member before.

Let's get back to the point. The original owner's appearance was already very good. In a place like the capital where talented people gather, she can also stand out and be praised as a delicate orchid and a jade tree.

The fifth child of the Su family, who is only twelve years old, is more handsome than him. The two idioms "face like a crown jade" and "eyes like bright stars" are tailor-made for him, and his bookish air adds a different flavor to him.

He is so young and has grown up like this. You can imagine how he will be a charmer when he is a few years older.

However, for ordinary people, too good looks sometimes bring disasters. It is said that the exposure of the real and fake princes is related to him, but that should have been the original owner's previous life.

Although the original owner died of depression at a young age due to an accident, he had no hatred in his heart when he died, but after going to the void space and reading the story book related to himself, a strong resentment arose spontaneously.

According to the story book, the wrong child incident should have been exposed twelve years later. The reason was that the fifth child of the Su family was taken into the house by the powerful, and his brother, the fourth child, went to Kaifeng Mansion to complain, and met Zuo Yangan, the eldest son of the Marquis Mansion.

Zuo Yangan had always coveted the position of the crown prince, but unfortunately his talent was not as good as his younger brother's. He had been suppressed and dim since he was a child, and there was no place for him to compete.

But when he met Su Laosi, he finally saw a glimmer of hope. Su Laosi's appearance was 70% similar to that of Jinshou Hou, and the remaining 30% was also very similar to the marquis's wife.

After comparing his birth date, he was born right after Zuo Yangyan, and even the birthplace was the same, in Hanshan Temple.

Zuo Yangan remembered hearing the old people in his family mention that when his younger brother was born, gangsters broke into the temple. At that time, the marquis's wife was in a chaotic situation and gave birth prematurely. Moreover, she was not the only pregnant woman at that time. Could it be that something went wrong at that time...

The more he thought about it, the more excited he felt. The high-ranking crown prince became a farmer's son, and the real crown prince was illiterate and crude. Wouldn't there be a chance that the crown prince's position would fall on him?

With this in mind, Zuo Yangan investigated carefully. After confirming it, he took Su Laosi back home when there were guests at home. It was too late for Jinshou Hou to cover it up.

Later, the two families returned to their respective positions, and Su Laowu was rescued with the help of the Hou Mansion, but Zuo Yangan's plan did not go as he wished.

Because the original owner was 28 years old at that time, he was a mature man who could bear the wind and rain.

When he was young, he had the merit of saving the emperor, and his relationship with the emperor at that time was like a brother. After becoming an official, he also had the merit of pacifying floods. He has been appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue for two years, and has already established a solid foundation in the court.

Even if he loses the position of the prince, it will not have any impact. He has the trust of the emperor and has enough ability. His position is not so easy to shake.
