The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 242

Chapter 242: Chapter 224, Mindset_1

On the seventeenth day of the last lunar month, Yan Wenxiu and his two brothers returned.

This time they brought back many people, not only the usual Xiao Yeyang, Dong Yuanxuan, and Su Hongxin, but also other students from the Academy.

This year, Wangyue Academy had already let out for the holidays on the fifteenth of the last lunar month, and some students who were not in a hurry to return home formed groups to travel around.

It just so happened that the eighteenth was Yan Wenkai’s birthday, so the students who usually got along well with the Yan brothers at the Academy came to Xingzhou with them.

Seeing her son’s classmates coming over, Madam Li, despite having to tidy up the courtyard and arrange for their dining and accommodations, was bustling about quite a bit; however, her face never stopped beaming with smiles.

Her sons were well-regarded at the Academy, which was why they could make so many friends.

Yan Zhigao also had a face full of satisfaction.

Connections, all of these were the future networks for the three children to enter society with.

In the main courtyard, Daohua watched Madam Li rush in and out while helping to prepare the refreshments and arranged for the maids to deliver them to the eldest brother’s courtyard.

“Eldest Young Master, Third Young Master, and Fourth Young Master are becoming more and more accomplished. They are getting increasingly skilled and attentive in receiving guests. The Eldest Young Master’s courtyard is now filled with laughter and joy.”

After delivering the refreshments, Wang Manman recounted with a smile what she had seen in Yan Wenxiu’s courtyard to Daohua.

After hearing it, Daohua smiled and said, “It’s no wonder everyone is desperate to send their children to Wangyue Academy. Birds of a feather flock together, after all. Constantly being with excellent people, one naturally constrains oneself, strives for improvement, and over time, also becomes better and better.”

The students studying at Wangyue Academy were either from illustrious families or possessed true talent and learning. Either way, they all had their strengths.

After much interaction, these strengths could naturally be learned. If one were determined, becoming even better was not impossible.

Wang Manman continued, “The Eldest Young Master also displayed a fine example of being an eldest brother, accompanying Second Young Master and Fifth Young Master throughout and introducing the Academy students to them one by one.”

Daohua nodded, noncommittal.

Her eldest brother was a very responsible person and felt a particularly strong sense of family honor. He would do anything that was beneficial to the Yan Family’s prosperity.

However, supporting younger brothers had its pros and cons.

The good side was, if the younger brothers accomplished something, it was indeed helpful to the Yan Family; the downside was, no one liked to follow others forever, and there were plenty of cases where people became arrogant upon gaining power. Instances where younger brothers threatened the position of the eldest were not uncommon.

The key was whether the eldest brother could always suppress the younger ones below him.

Meanwhile, at Zhegui Courtyard.

Zhou Chengye looked at Yan Wenxiu with a face of admiration, “Your magnanimity is… quite remarkable.” Saying this, he glanced at Yan Wenbin, who was already having a lively chat with a few classmates.

Yan Wenxiu smiled, “Our family’s foundation is shallow; we need the male members of our family to work together and support each other. Fifth brother has a high talent for studying; letting him interact more with others is beneficial for broadening his horizons.”

Zhou Chengye said, “Are you not afraid that he will threaten you in the future?” He coughed, then said vaguely, “I’ve heard plenty of gossip about prominent families, where some fathers favor their concubine-born sons. Add the fact that these sons are capable, and there have been cases where the eldest legitimate son could not inherit the family business. I’ve heard a thing or two about your family situation as well. You understand what I’m saying, right?”

Yan Wenxiu smiled and raised an eyebrow, “What, do you think I can’t surpass my fifth brother?”

Zhou Chengye was taken aback, looking at the confidence and assurance in Yan Wenxiu’s eyebrows, he immediately let out a laugh, “It’s my oversight; I was too focused on the inner court matters and overlooked Wenxiu’s capabilities.”

Yan Wenxiu shook his head, “Your family situation is different from mine, and naturally, the things you consider are not the same as what I think. If my family had the foundation and connections that your family does, I would not let the younger brothers rise either; it’s too destabilizing for the family.”

“Our family has no choice right now. Third and Fourth brothers are pursuing the path of martial studies. If I want help, I can only foster the other two brothers.”
