Male supporting role is not a stepping stone

The unlucky child Su Laosi, who was mistakenly taken away by the original owner, changed his name to Zuo Yangyi after recovering his identity.

First, he felt guilty for robbing him of his life; second, he wanted to repay the years of care and love of Jinshou Hou and his wife; third, he wanted to save Su Laowu for his life.

After he returned to the Hou Mansion, the original owner helped him a lot and helped him to secure the position of the prince amid many ridicules and contempts. Zuo Yangan's plan naturally fell through.

As for whether Zuo Yangyi succeeded to the Hou Mansion, the original owner didn't know, because the protagonist of the story died, and then reborn to childhood, at the critical moment, he used the prophet to expose the matter in advance, and became the way he remembered.

The original owner never thought that the exposure of his life experience was actually painstakingly planned by others, and he couldn't help but doubt whether his fall off the cliff was really an accident. He should have been full of pride, but he was harmed by others and didn't have a good end. No wonder he was so resentful.

"Fourth brother." The young boy greeted him not too warmly. When Zuo Yangyi was still the fourth child of the Su family, he had the best relationship with him, so he was the one who found it hardest to accept his departure.

"Fifth brother, you are back just in time. I just wanted to ask you for help with something." Yang Yan didn't care too much about his attitude. Other brothers have a life-long friendship. He just interrupted in the middle. It was good that he was not targeted and hostile. Don't ask too much.

Faced with his enthusiasm, the young boy was stunned for a moment, but he quickly put away his stupid expression and replied politely: "Fourth brother, please tell me, as long as it is something I can do."

Seeing the faint defense in his eyes, Yang Yan felt a little funny. Could this kid have imagined something weird? Did he think he was going to use him to deal with Zuo Yangyi?

With no intention of exposing his little thoughts, he handed the manuscript to him and said, "Fifth brother, you might as well take a look first."

Fifth brother Su took it suspiciously. His first reaction after taking a glance was: This handwriting is really beautiful!

But it's not surprising. The prince of Jinshouhou Mansion became famous at a young age. He passed the imperial examination at the age of fourteen and won the first place. His reputation has spread long ago. Even his teacher has praised them more than once.

He had longed for him when he heard his story at that time. He didn't expect that he would become his own brother when he really met him. It's a pity that such a brilliant man ended up with both legs disabled and his future ruined.

If he hadn't suffered this disaster, his name would probably be on the list of Jinshi last month, right? Maybe he would even be ranked in the top three!

Thinking of this, Su Wudi couldn't help but feel sympathy, and his previous vigilance was mostly gone.

No matter what his cheap brother wants to do, as long as it doesn't hurt others, he will do his best to help!

Su Wudi read the manuscript with this in mind, and he was fascinated by it. His mood fluctuated with the experience of the protagonist of the story.

When the protagonist is happy, he smiles with satisfaction. When the protagonist is in pain, his heart is in a knot. When the protagonist punishes the evildoer, he shouts with joy in his heart.

When he sees the protagonist solve the current problem, he knows that there is a mastermind behind the scenes and wants to move to another place. He is eager to see what kind of legendary story will happen next, so he flips back...

To know what happens next, please read the next chapter.

Su Wudi rubbed the paper with reluctance. It was not stuck. This is really the last page!

He immediately felt the anxious feeling of his parents, brothers and sisters-in-law. He could no longer control his usually cold and calm demeanor. He asked excitedly: "Is this the storybook written by the fourth brother? It is so wonderful. I wonder if I can borrow the manuscript later to read it?"

His face was slightly flushed due to his mood. His eyes were bright and moist, which added a little more color than usual, and the already beautiful color was added a few points.

If someone saw him like this, no matter what he wanted, they would want to bring it to him immediately, but the person in front of him was a heartless person.

"I haven't written the rest of the fourth brother yet," Yang Yan shook his head and said slowly, "If the fifth brother wants to read it, I'm afraid he will have to wait until the next day off. I've been writing for several days and my hands are sore."

Fifth brother Su: "..."

Although what he said was reasonable, his expression made people feel angry.

Fifth brother Su wanted to move the desk out right now, put paper and pen in his hands and force him to write, but the remaining rationality still suppressed his dangerous thoughts.

Fourth brother is already miserable, he shouldn't have the idea of ​​exploiting him, and more importantly, what if he becomes rebellious and simply doesn't write? Wouldn't he never see the rest of the story? This won't do!

After taking a deep breath, Su Wudi finally calmed down a little: "What Fourth Brother said before, you want me to submit this storybook?"

"That's right." Yang Yan told him his idea and mentioned a few more honest study rooms in his memory.

"But I only have one day off," Su Wudi said with some difficulty, "It takes most of the day to go back and forth to the capital, not to mention that I have to do things, there is no time at all."

This is something Yang Yan didn't know. The original owner was self-pitying all day long, and didn't care about the outside world. He didn't even pay attention to Su's mother who took care of him all day, let alone the younger brother who only came back once every ten days or half a month.

But looking at the guilty boy, he suddenly had an idea in his heart: "In fact, I have another thing to ask you. Although I'm back, my household registration is still in Jinshouhou Mansion. It would be best if I could go to the government office and transfer my household registration for me."

"This..." Su Wudi hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "I will try my best to ask for leave from the teacher, but I can't guarantee whether he will agree."

Yang Yan did not continue to talk about the matter, but asked, "If I remember correctly, your teacher is a scholar, right?"

"Yes, why did Fourth Brother suddenly ask this?" Su Wudi was a little confused for a moment.

Yang Yan chuckled and raised his chin slightly. Although he was sitting in a wheelchair and was much shorter than the boy, he exuded a condescending momentum: "Then do you know that I had the title of Juren two years ago?"

"Of course I know this, Fourth Brother is a natural talent. Although I am ignorant, I have heard of it." Su Wudi showed a little confusion on his face. What was the intention of Fourth Brother suddenly mentioning this?

It can't be that he just wants me to praise him, right? Or does he mean that I should listen to him as a Juren, instead of listening to the teacher who is just a scholar? But the teacher teaches the way, how can he disrespect the teacher?

His handsome face was tangled up, Yang Yan wanted to touch his forehead, looking at a smart boy, how could he be so stupid at the critical moment? He had already reminded him to this point, but he still didn't understand the situation.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you straight!" Too lazy to wait for him to figure it out, Yang Yan said bluntly, "Go to the teacher and drop out of school. I will teach you at home in the future. First, you can save the tuition, and second, I think my talent is enough to teach you."

"Fourth brother wants to teach me in person?" Su Wudi was surprised.

"Why?" Yang Yan raised his eyes and glanced at him, "Are you afraid that I will mislead you?"

"No, no, no, how could it be?" Su Wudi waved his hands repeatedly, his little face flushed with excitement, "Fourth brother's talent is always mentioned by the teacher, and I just feel unbelievable for a moment that I can get your personal teaching."

At the same time, he regretted it in his heart. Knowing that the fourth brother was very talented, why didn't he think of asking him for advice before?

But on second thought, when they first met, his fourth brother still had the aloof demeanor of a marquis' son. Although he was fascinated, he didn't dare to approach him recklessly.

When they met again, his legs were already disabled, and he was depressed. Nine out of ten words he didn't respond. Mother was afraid of making him unhappy and didn't let them disturb him. He didn't spend much time at home, so it was inevitable that they couldn't get close.

Fortunately, the fourth brother now seemed to have figured it out, and he could write such a wonderful storybook. I think he won't be so stubborn in the future, and everyone will be fine in the future.

"Okay, although you are a little stupid and can't compare to my intelligence," Yang Yan snorted, and said, "but who told you to be my younger brother, I will teach you reluctantly."

Su Wudi couldn't help but twitch his mouth. The teacher in the school always liked him and often said that he was a talent that could be cultivated. This was the first time he was called "stupid".

But thinking about the good reputation of this fourth brother, compared with him, it seems that he is not so wronged to be described by these two words, and his heart is instantly calm.

"But there are some ugly words to say in advance," Yang Yan continued, as if he didn't see his distorted face, "I am a strict teacher. If you can't bear the hardship, the previous proposal will be abandoned."

How could Su Wudi give up this opportunity? He hurriedly said: "Strict teachers produce good students. I understand that. When the time comes, I will never complain even if the fourth brother beats and scolds me."

"I advise you to think it over clearly," Yang Yan raised the corner of his mouth when he bowed his head and didn't notice it. "What I hate most is giving up halfway. When the time comes, even if you cry and want to regret it, I will not show mercy."

"I will not disappoint the fourth brother." Su Wudi promised with a serious face, not knowing how big a pit he had jumped into.

The next day, he went to the teacher and asked for his resignation. When he heard that he was not wasting his studies, but was lucky enough to have a Juren as his teacher, the teacher was not unhappy at all, and was sincerely happy for him.

It is not easy for poor students. In addition to the cost of ink, books and paper, it is also difficult to get guidance from famous teachers. For example, he relied on himself to explore when he was young, and he was nearly 40 years old before he got the title of a scholar. It is difficult to go further.

Fortunately, although the incident of the wrong child in the Jinshou Marquis's Mansion was widely spread in the capital, few people knew which family it was, and Su Wudi did not reveal it to the outside world.

The teacher did not know that his so-called Juren teacher was actually a famous former prince, otherwise he would have been very angry. It was really sour.

After dropping out of the school, Su Wudi and Su Dage and Su Sange went to the capital together and sold the storybook to the study very smoothly. With the advice of the fourth brother, he knew how to say it, and the price he sold it was quite good.

Because Yang Yan was indeed a good writer, and the storybook had a sequel, in addition to selling it for a sum of money, they also won a share of the sales.

In addition, the household registration he requested was also handled smoothly. I don’t know whether it was because he felt sorry for abandoning his adopted son in disguise, or because he saw that he had no use value and wanted to draw a clear line with him.

After receiving the news from the government, Jin Shouhou signed the note very readily, and Yang Yan’s household registration was returned to He’an Village. The only pity was that he passed the imperial examination two years ago, and the village had no chance to have a monument erected by the court.

However, other benefits enjoyed by the juren can still be enjoyed. The Jin Shouhou Mansion does not look down on the small profits brought by the status of an adopted son, but it is a great joy for ordinary farmers.

First of all, people get a salary. Although it is not enough for the whole family, it can save at least half of the money to buy rice every year, which greatly reduces the burden on the family.

Secondly, the Su family's land is tax-free, and their land is far less than one person's share of the tax. The rest is left to the village chief to make the decision.

The former was only enviable to the villagers of He'an Village, but the latter was closely related to their own interests. Only then did they realize that even if the fourth son of the Su family was crippled, he was a cripple they could not afford to offend. No one would dare to do it to his face or behind his back. Talking about him.

After Su's fifth brother accomplished these things, he fell into a vortex of study before he was even proud for two days. Every day when the rooster crows, he has to get up and run around the village, which lasts for half an hour.

After having breakfast, I took a breath and started walking in the yard again. It lasted another half an hour, and then I didn't even have a chance to take a rest, and I had to box for another half an hour.

At this time, he was almost exhausted, so the fourth brother, who had eaten and drank enough, slowly pushed his wheelchair over to teach him how to read and familiarize him with the Four Books and Five Classics.

The morning passed, and he took a half-hour break in the afternoon to practice archery. In the afternoon, he wrote articles and poems and gave them to his fourth brother for review.

The content in the evening was his favorite. The fourth brother would tell him anecdotes about history and the customs of the world.

There seemed to be endless things in his mind. He didn't need to pick up a book at all. He could pick up any topic and his language was vivid and interesting. Su Wudi listened with gusto every time and wished he could stay up all night.

He did try to pester his fourth brother to talk until late at night before resting. At that time, Yang Yan just smiled at him and indulged him, and really stayed up with him until midnight without bothering him.

It was not until the next day that fifth brother Su was picked up by his elder brother to run on time, and he yawned all the way that he couldn't keep his eyes open, only then did he understand the deep malice contained in the fourth brother's smile, and from then on he never dared to disrupt his scheduled schedule again.

At first, he didn't understand this arrangement: "Fourth Brother, I want to take the imperial examination, and I don't want to join the army. Why do I need to practice martial arts in addition to studying?"

At that time, Yang Yan laughed and replied: "The county examination, township examination, and college examination are relatively easy. The township examination takes three days in a row and is not difficult to endure. There are three general examinations of three days each. One examination lasts nine days. It is still early spring. When it’s colder.”

"And you are not allowed to wear jackets when entering the examination room. A weak person can pass out sitting there. If you don't practice your little body, you may have to be carried out by then. What else will you take the exam for?"

"Besides, after high school, most people have to go out to serve as officials. There are always sparsely populated places along the way, right? If you encounter gangsters and get slapped before they even get to the place, why do you want to be an official to glorify your family?"

Su Wudi had only a vague concept before, taking the exam to be a scholar, a scholar, or a Jinshi. After passing the exam, he could become an official and lead his family to live a good life.

Who knew there were so many difficulties involved? I was so frightened that I hugged my little body and trembled.

"Are you afraid?" Yang Yan glanced sideways at him: "It's not too late to regret now. Anyway, your brother's story books are selling well, so he doesn't need your little money to support the family."

The little boy had a strong self-esteem, and he was not willing to stay at home and eat soft food for the rest of his life because of the difficulties that had not yet come to him. He immediately said loudly: "I don't regret it. My brother will definitely study hard and impress others. Anyway, I am already in the school." Now that I’m practicing martial arts, I’ll punch every gangster I encounter!”

Seeing that he was very ambitious, Yang Yan happily gave him an extra half hour. The young boy dared to be angry but did not dare to say anything, so he stomped away angrily. The unscrupulous brother looked at his back and revealed a meaningful expression. smile.

He has not forgotten that this little brother was snatched away to live in the mansion in his last life. Although he was rescued not long after Zuo Yangyi's life experience was exposed, he must have suffered a lot during those days of delay.

He didn't know whether this kind of thing had happened in his previous life, but Zuo Yangyi, who had changed his identity in advance, did not have the protection of the original owner with high authority, so life was not easy after returning to the Marquis Mansion.

Within a few years, his position as the heir apparent was plotted by his concubine Zuo Yang'an. He himself was called the Separate Family and Li Mansion, but he was actually almost kicked out. I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to protect his younger brother if it happened. .

Therefore, people still have to have their own abilities. He didn't believe that Su Wudi had practiced martial arts, and someone could easily snatch him away. Be careful of his claws being chopped off!

The young boy didn't know that his newly recognized fourth brother had secretly and well-intentioned plans for him. If he found out, he would be extremely moved.

Although these days of getting along have made him a lot closer, he still couldn't help but silently grit his teeth in his heart and cursed "the big devil" every time he was squeezed.

Fortunately, he soon had someone to accompany him to live such a hard life. One by one, the other three brothers of the Su family were all driven by the big devil brother to practice martial arts and study together.

At first, the fourth brother said that he wanted them to study, but Brother Su and the three of them refused. Isn't this a joke?

Scholars all start their education as children. The eldest among them is 23 years old, and the youngest is over 18. Even if they are not afraid of being laughed at, their brains are not as smart as those of children. How can they learn?

And although the family is not short of money now, are they too embarrassed to not go out to work and let their younger brothers support their husband, wife and children, but also spend a lot of money on their education?

The three elder brothers shook their heads like rattles when they heard their younger brother's proposal. Father and mother Su hesitated and disagreed. Even the three sisters-in-law were embarrassed to take advantage of their younger brother-in-law.

The whole family knew that the fourth brother, the open-minded Su Wudi, helped him to say a few words, but was immediately scolded by his parents and brothers and dared not speak.

However, Yang Yan was determined about this matter. He had observed carefully these days that the brothers of the Su family were not stupid people. It was a pity that the Su family was too poor when they were born, and they dared not even think about spending money to study.

If they had the same opportunity as Su Wudi, their academic performance would not be worse than his. As for the age issue, he always believed that as long as you have the intention, it is never too late to start working hard.

The three elder brothers are all kind people. They used the money they earned with blood and sweat to support their younger brother to study without any complaints. Their mother never complained about giving special treatment to the newly recognized brother with a broken leg, and never coveted the original owner's money.

Yang Yan couldn't bear to see them wasting their lives doing hard labor to earn a meager income. Besides, he wanted them to study just to let them learn more and broaden their horizons, not necessarily to take the imperial examination.

As the saying goes, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. Whether they are doing business or doing other things in the future, knowing literature will not make it so easy to be cheated, and knowing martial arts can ensure their own safety.

Yang Yan explained these principles to the whole family, and gave many examples to prove the benefits of studying and practicing martial arts. Seeing that their expressions were not so repulsive, he added fuel to the fire: "If the three brothers feel embarrassed to take advantage of their younger brother, we can treat this as an investment."

"I will write down the expenses of your study and calligraphy, and when you make money from these in the future, you can return me double."

He smiled proudly and said, "Such a high interest is still earned by my younger brother."

The smug look made the whole family laugh, but they all understood that he said this just to make them feel at ease to accept his kindness.

Although the prospects he described after studying and learning to read are very tempting, that is when everything goes well, but what if it doesn't go well?

If the three brothers don't make much money by then, will he really chase them? Besides, if they don't go out to work, the family expenses are all paid by him alone, how can this account be calculated?

Brother Su and the others were somewhat tempted, but they still couldn't bear to take advantage of the fourth brother. Several sisters-in-law were very tempted, but they were too embarrassed to say yes.

In the end, it was Su's father and mother who made the final decision. The sons were all their flesh and blood, and of course they wanted to see them have a good future.

They couldn't force one child to subsidize the other children, but they were willing to take care of and promote their brothers. How could it be bad for the family to be harmonious?

Just like before, in order to have the opportunity to change the family, the four brothers were willing to support the younger brother to study, and Yan'er was seriously injured, and the brothers were willing to give him delicious food to replenish his body.

Now that the fourth brother has risen, he is willing to promote his brothers. It's the same reason, but this cost too much, so they didn't dare to agree easily before, but now seeing his firm attitude, it is obviously sincere, why should they refuse?

They are all family members, and they can help back in the future when they need it, so there is no need to worry so much.
