In March of the first year of Shaoding in the Southern Song Dynasty, Yangzhou City.

Fireworks in March down to Yangzhou.

At this time, it is the best time for the scenery in the city, fireworks everywhere, the scenery is pleasant, on the side of the stone bridge in the mottled old city, Xu Siye is sitting on a small wooden bench, holding a fishing rod, fishing leisurely in this fireworks scene.

This is the twentieth day of his coming into the world.

After the initial discomfort, he had begun to get used to this quiet life, which was busier than his previous life, which made him feel as comfortable and relaxed as his retirement life.

"Drunk is fireworks, in March, the spring breeze does not ask the people by the stream."

Here, no one will ask who he is, even if he sits by the river for a day, no one will disturb him, and his mind is not fishing, but only to soothe his calm mind.

This is what he dreamed of for nearly forty years in his previous life.

From the time he entered politics in his twenties until the moment of his death, he was busy with officialdom, intrigue, and finally jumped from the nineteenth floor when he climbed to a high position, because he wanted to keep his mouth shut for his "Bole".

So let him come to this calm and leisurely era.

Song Lizong is still addicted to wine, Shi Miyuan is still in power, the Mongols are still fantasizing about invading the Central Plains and destroying the Song Dynasty, and the Southern Song people are still living a drunken life......

That's great.

Finally, you can let go of the burden in your heart and enjoy a moment of peace.

When he looked up and saw the smoky sun in the sky, the warmth came from the bottom of his heart.

"The phoenix forehead embroidered curtain is high, the beast ring is swaying, and the two poles are red on the flower shed......"

On the pontoon boats rowed over the river, there was a singer standing on the side of the boat and hoisting her voice, singing Liu Yong's words, which were all the rage, which was not the style Xu Siye liked, but the girl's voice was clear and beautiful, and it made him feel comfortable physically and mentally.

It's a pity that I don't have the money to patronize the flower boat, and I can't reward you with a bonus, so I can only sit here and listen to your songs in vain.

But I'm your loyal listener.

The singer also saw Xu Siye, and every day when the boat was passing by, she could see the young man fishing on the riverbank.

Looking at each other and smiling is the only and best way to communicate.

The boat crossed the bridge, the girl's song stopped, the wind blew gently, and the villager who carried the burden and walked through the streets and alleys passed by, but saw that behind the villager, a girl in a green and green checkered skirt was trotting all the way, and the faintly visible beads of sweat on her forehead were changing between light and dark in the sun.

"Master, it's time for you to go back, Master is back......"

The girl stopped behind Xu Siye, she didn't even have time to breathe, her voice was delicate and urging, and then she put her hands on her knees, and the breath exhaled by Qiong's nose was still full of steam.

"Genius has just picked up, and if you want to really bloom in spring, you still have to wait for the first half of the month." Xu Siye murmured softly.

The girl asked, "Master, what did you say?" ”

Xu Siye smiled, raised the fishing rod in his hand slightly, and said: "I'm fishing here, I have to be calm, I don't have to be anxious if I have something, sit down and rest first." ”

He pointed to the small bench next to him and asked the girl to sit first.

The girl hurriedly said, "Didn't you understand?" It's the old lady who has come back, and since you married the young lady, the old lady has never returned, and you haven't seen him yet......"

"Oh."

Xu Siye seemed to have a trance.

If the girl hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten that he was married.

But the marriage was very sloppy, and he was carried to worship heaven and earth, because he was seriously ill at that time, and when he came back from Lin'an, he was already sick, and the original owner of the body died, and his soul took possession of the body.

In order to be happy, he was married.

At that time, it was a mess, and then even the bride ran away, how can you talk about a married person?

The old lady is the grandfather of the female family, that is, the grandfather of his wife, he has become a single bloodline, after his father offended the powerful minister Shi Miyuan three years ago, until the first year of death in prison, and then he can only leave Lin'an to return to his hometown Yangzhou, and fell ill in the rain while taking a boat.

The woman is the Lin family of the wealthy family in Yangzhou, and she is not a world friend with the Xu family, but because she was favored by the Lin family when Xu Siye's father was rushing to take the exam, she made a promise to marry.

Now that even the official's father is dead, and he is dying, the Lin family still does not give up, which is why there is a previous Chongxi marriage.

He doesn't need to be in trouble, but now that he is a prisoner, his future entrance examination will also be affected, and he has nowhere to go, after his nominal wife returned to her uncle's house on the day after the wedding, his daily three meals and one night are also provided by the Lin family.

Is it true that the Lin family just promised for that year?

Or do you want to use the power of his father, Xu Youcheng, who was a servant of the ministry, so that his descendants can enter the court?

"It's a real headache." Xu Siye sighed slightly.

"Master's head hurts again? But the previous illness was not cured? You shouldn't come out...... "The girl is also the maid of the Lin family, not his domestic servant, but just sent by the Lin family to take care of him.

But he was not in the habit of being served, and he didn't need to be disturbed when he went fishing.

Xu Siye smiled and said, "I have a headache when I think about things, let's go, go back and meet this old lady I have never met." ”

……

……

Xu Siye is going home.

It is not far from the side gate of the Lin family's mansion, passing through three or five streets in the north city, four or five hundred meters, and this road is the mansion of the rich.

Xu Siye walked in front with a fishing rod, and the girl Ping'er walked behind with an empty fish basket, and the master and servant passed through the city, and the road would also attract people's attention.

"Isn't that the son of the big official's family?"

"Yes, I heard that he is now the son-in-law of the Lin family."

"The Lin family is rich and rivals the country, but there is no one in the court, even if the official's family falls, he still has to marry his daughter......"

Wu Nong's soft language is very good, and Xu Siye likes to ponder the meaning of it.

It's a pity that up to now, he can only understand these words, and there are always people who need to explain to him in detail.

Back in the courtyard of the Lin family, there was a group of children running by, all of whom were children from the Lin family's houses.

The four generations of the Lin family are in the same house, several generations live together, and the children are also chaotic, and now Xu Siye can only recognize the appearance of the people in the few rooms near his hospital, but he can't call them all out.

He didn't know any of the children who came over.

"The sick seedlings are back."

"Don't go near the sick seedling, my mother said that if you get close to him, you will be like him......"

Children are innocent and believe what adults say.

They are hostile to Xu Siye, because Xu Siye is the husband of the granddaughter of the Lin family's housemaster, which means that Xu Siye is likely to be a key figure who will affect the interests of the Lin family's faction in the future.

"Go and go, don't come, or I'll go back and tell your mother."

Although Ping'er is a girl, she is the maid of the long house, and she has a very high status among the subordinates, and in the face of this group of children, she is an imposing young lady.

After she sent the children away, Xu Siye looked at the main hall of the Lin family in the distance, and felt an indescribable emotion in her heart.

has been in politics for half a life, and when he comes to this era of simple folk customs, he really wants to be the son-in-law of a businessman and be with copper odor every day?
