After Xu Siye came to the Southern Song Dynasty, he never set a direction for himself.

In this era, if you want to get ahead, it seems that only the imperial examination can be taken, but he was an official for half his life in his previous life, and he really didn't want to go around the officialdom anymore, but the life in the mountains and countryside was what he longed for, but he also knew that in a few years, after the end of the war of Lianmeng to destroy Jin, it would be the catastrophic battle of Song and Mongolia in China.

With my twenty-year-old body, it is no problem to live for another few decades, do I have to witness the battle of Yashan that overturned in China?

"You're back? Hungry, right? It's time for lunch. ”

Ping'er went back to the courtyard first, it was the courtyard of her young lady, the main house was for Miss Lin's family, after getting married, this was also the wedding room of Xu Siye and Miss Lin for the time being, but Miss Lin escaped from marriage, and Xu Siye has been living in the east house of the courtyard.

For him, it is the same wherever he lives, and it is good to have a tile to cover his head.

Yilai stretched out his hand to open his mouth, this kind of life is the most comfortable, waiting for Ping'er to bring the white rice, facing the two dishes of meat and vegetables on the table, Xu Siye suddenly felt very happy.

"Let's sit down and eat together." Xu Siye saw Ping'er looking at him and said with a smile.

"No, you are the master, how can the slave and maid eat with the master?" Ping'er was very serious when she replied.

Xu Siye usually doesn't like to eat by herself, and there is a pretty little maid staring at her.

I'm eating, you're watching.

I can't eat it.

Xu Siye pointed to the chair next to her, sat down, holding a Su embroidery in her hand, and stopped looking at Xu Siye, because Xu Siye had mentioned to her before that she didn't want to be stared at when she was eating.

"Master went to see the old lady, I don't know what the old lady said?" Ping'er asked delicately.

Xu Siye ate quickly, gobbled up a bowl of rice, and Ping'er hurriedly said when he saw this, "Master, slow down, no one will rob you." ”

Xu Siye said with a smile: "If you don't eat quickly, you will destroy the heavens." ”

Ping'er pondered for a moment the word "tyrannical things", which was too obscure for an illiterate maid like her.

"Ye is really knowledgeable, I heard that Ye has taken the exam, so many old and young masters in the family are going to the exam, but there is no one who has ever been able to take the exam, Ye is the most knowledgeable person here." There was a hint of adoration in Ping'er's words.

After the Lin family made a fortune, they realized the importance of official power to the rise and fall of the family, and among the children of the later generations, including several younger brothers of Lin Tingguang, they were already studying, and as for the children of the Lin family and Xu Siye, they were all studying, and they had no intention of cultivating them into business wizards.

On the contrary, the granddaughter of the Lin family, who is a woman, that is, Xu Siye's nominal wife Lin Yu, is doing business and has also assumed the due responsibility of the Lin family's house.

"The old lady's meaning is to let me go to the East Cross Academy to study and prepare for next year's provincial examination." Xu Siye said calmly and handed the rice bowl to Ping'er again.

Ping'er filled the bowl with rice again, handed it to Xu Siye and said, "If you have a university question, you should study, and if Miss comes back, you will definitely support your study......"

"Huh." Xu Siye could only smile at this.

Since Lin Yu chose to escape from marriage, he must not want to marry a sick man, this kind of marriage that has never been married in his life, and he has to worship heaven and earth and enter the cave house for the first time he meets, which is like a political marriage, but any girl with an opinion will oppose it.

What's more, Lin Yu has only just passed the age of Jilu, and in Xu Siye's opinion, she is just a little girl who has not dried up.

"It's a pity that the girls of this era have to be in charge early." Xu Siye muttered.

"What did you say?"

"I said stop calling me grandpa, it's too awkward."

"No, you and Miss are not officially husband and wife, you can't call your uncle, you can only call your grandfather, if you call it wrong, you will be scolded......"

……

……

Xu Siye had lunch, and he was going back to the old place with a fishing rod to go fishing.

Ping'er came over to stop him, and insisted very much: "Ye can't go out in the afternoon, the main courtyard has ordered to come down, and the carriage has been prepared for the master, and he will go to Xishan in the afternoon." ”

"Nishiyama?" Xu Siye thought about it and didn't receive the notice in advance.

Ping'er looked at Xu Siye with surprised eyes and said, "Didn't you forget? Today is the life of the old man of the Xu family. ”

Shengji, that is, the birthday of the deceased.

That is Xu Siye's father Xu Youcheng's life taboo, Xu Youcheng has been dead for less than a year, and the death taboo has not arrived, so let's have a life taboo first, that is, to go to the cemetery for a walk.

Xu Siye is a soul from the future, and he is related to Xu Youcheng by blood but has no emotional bonds.

But as the inheritor of the body, he also had to fulfill his filial piety as a son of man and go to the grave to worship.

"Think of me as if I had done the unfinished business for you."

Xu Siye is also calm, going to the mountains to see the situation is better than always staying in the city, being able to go out for a walk is also a way to relax, and at the same time appreciate the different fields in the city, there are different customs.

……

……

The mountains are quiet, and since he left the city, Xu Siye has been looking around.

Ping'er and Xu Siye came out together, and it was Zhang Erhu, a servant of the Lin family, who drove the car, as his name suggests, he has a few two tigers, but he is very sincere, he is not married in his twenties, Xu Siye will answer with a smile when he asks anything.

Everything.

"Look at the road and don't go wrong." Ping'er's attitude towards Zhang Erhu is not very good.

Zhang Erhu is just an ordinary domestic servant, similar to the Lin family worker, even if he is not married, he will not be liked by the maid of a big family like Ping'er, with Ping'er's worth, it is probably possible to be a girl in the room, and if she mixes well, she can be a concubine for Xu Siye.

I know my own situation, Xu Siye knows that he is under the fence, and he hasn't even married his wife, let alone think about that crooked mind.

"Two miles away, sit tight." Zhang Erhu was scolded, but he was not annoyed, but he was more energetic when he was in the car.

The more you scold, the more spirited.

If it really looked like he had walked more than two miles, when he arrived in the mountains, the carriage was already a little difficult, Zhang Erhu wanted to go down and hold the reins, Xu Siye also jumped off the carriage in order not to increase the burden on the carriage.

"After walking a few steps, my legs are numb." Xu Siye said with a smile, looking up at the sky, the sky was clear, only a few clouds were in the distance of the sky, the sky was so blue, let him refresh himself to return to the countryside.

Finally arrived at a mountain col, and on the side of the mountain pass, there was Xu Youcheng's grave.

It was built with the help of the Lin family, it is not big, and because it is not of the same clan, it is already a kindness to be able to build a tomb, and the inscription set up is engraved with Xu Youcheng's name, as well as Xu Youcheng's simple biography.

The wind was suddenly a little cold.

Zhang Erhu hurriedly brought the incense candle ingots he brought, lit a brazier in front of the tomb, and asked Ping'er to burn the value beside him.

And Xu Siye respectfully bowed three times in front of the grave.

When Xu Siye stood up, he saw that a carriage had stopped not far away, and an old man who got down from the carriage, also carrying incense and candles, was walking over here.

"Brother Pingyuan's son?" He was about 50 years old, and his smile was kind and kind, but when he smiled, his face was already wrinkled.

Ping'er was burning paper money, and when she heard the words, she looked up.

Xu Siye had already walked over and asked, "Exactly." I don't know who you are? ”

"Oh, the old decay is Ling Zun's old friend, on the day of Ling Zun's death, he came to talk about the old love, and he never wanted to see you...... Seeing that you are okay with your illness, the old man is also relieved. The old man said with a smile.
