Chapter 43: A Quiet Life
When Xu Siye heard the news, he suddenly sighed in his heart, and Lin Yu was still dealing with his own affairs as if he was nothing, not at all like Lin Yu's sad appearance when Lin Yaoming died.
Xu Siye was afraid of causing Lin Yu's sadness again, so he simply didn't mention it, and still fished and painted every day as if he had nothing to do.
"If you want to know, I'll tell you."
After Xu Siye came back from fishing, he was just about to clean up everything, but he heard such a sentence from behind him, Xu Siye looked back and saw that it was Lin Yu standing behind him who said such a sentence.
"Tell me when you want to, and if you don't want to tell me, you won't tell me if I ask again."
Xu Siye had long thought very clearly, he and Lin Yu were not husband and wife, just because of Lin Yaoming's original words, as soon as Lin Yaoming's funeral was over, he and Lin Yu dissolved the relationship between husband and wife, and they had nothing to do with each other from then on, and even Xu Siye felt that even Ping'er was better than Lin Yu to herself.
"Others seem to be pampered, but in fact, in the Lin family, if I can't bluff people, in that tiger and wolf den, I don't know that I have died thousands of times."
When Xu Siye saw Lin Yu like this, he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart, he had done a lot of unavoidable things in his previous life, and in this life, he just wanted to spend his life in peace.
"I know you want to live a peaceful life, but the Lin family and the Xu family are like this, you didn't choose me, just like I can't find out any reason myself, I can only investigate the cause of my grandfather's death according to you, and who else wants to do it to my grandfather."
Lin Yu looked at Xu Siye with tears in her eyes, she once thought that Xu Siye was just a simple scholar, but now she only relies on this scholar.
Xu Siye looked at the woman in front of him, he only knew that he was arrogant before, and he never expected such a side.
Lin Yu bit her lip tightly, looking at Xu Siye in front of her, her heart was like a mess, she had never said these words to others, she was only full of spirit in front of others.
In the eyes of Ping'er and Yingyu, she is omnipotent, and once any business is handled by Lin Yu, she can become the economic pillar of the Lin family, and she has never felt so powerless.
Xu Siye looked at Lin Yu, as if he saw his former self, in the eyes of outsiders, he was an unattainable official, but behind his back, he experienced the slander of his colleagues, the difficulties of his boss, the perfunctory behavior of his subordinates, and so on. At that time, he secretly decided that if he could live a peaceful life one day, he would never step into politics again.
Lin Yu was like a tiger that had lost its teeth and claws, leaving the forest where he depended on to survive, and followed Xu Siye to Xu's mansion, only Xu Siye could rely on, and Xu Siye also agreed to help her find the mastermind behind all this of the Lin family.
"If you can help me find the murderer of my grandfather, I promise to marry you."
When Xu Siye heard this, his heart instantly fluctuated, and he was not sure if he really loved Lin Yu, but the sensitivity of his previous life still made him quickly analyze that if he married Lin Yu, he would have the huge Lin family as his backing, and his down-and-out official eunuch son was nothing more than the most suitable person.
"I promised you that you would do it, and you shouldn't be embarrassed about this."
Xu Siye knew that Lin Yu didn't really want to marry him, but was carried away by hatred for a while, if so, it was better to give each other a step down, and after getting this sentence, he was already very satisfied.
Lin Yu was stunned, how could she not know Xu Siye's thoughts, for the sake of the Lin family, for her own happiness, she had to rely on the man in front of her, what neither of them noticed was that they treated each other a little differently.
Xu Siye was silent for a while before he opened his mouth to think about Lin Yu and said, "If there is a guest coming in the afternoon, you can accompany me to meet the guest in the middle of the main hall." After saying that, Xu Siye put down the fishing gear and was about to leave, so he thought about it before adding a sentence. It's your grandfather's business. ”
Just after Qingming, the day in Yangzhou is not very hot, but it is not as humid as a few days ago, Xu Siye has been in Yangzhou for many days, only to know the benefits of Yangzhou, Yangzhou feng shui noon just after noon, cicadas chirping one after another.
Xu Siye had just gotten up on the couch when he heard a report from the boy from Ermen.
"Master, master, Lord Lu Xinglu has brought his newlywed lady to visit you."
When Xu Siye heard this, he had to let Lin Yu prepare in advance, otherwise with the rule that men and women have different tables, he didn't know how many incidents would happen.
"Please go to the main hall and place Mrs. Lu in the summer residence next to it." The summer retreat was built on the mountain spring, which was very cool, and he had already ordered Lin Yu to wait in the hall.
Xu Siye's experience over the years has long understood the importance of pillow wind, most things are successful or not, although the woman does not have a hand, but often grinds a few words in her husband's ear, and good things may become bad things.
Xu Siye instructed his subordinates to take out a set of Ru kiln tableware that had been stored in the library for many years, which was given to Xu Youcheng by the emperor, even in the Tianhuang nobles' homes, it was rare.
Xu Siye and Lu Xing had just sat down in the hall, Xu Siye teased Lu Xing a few words, and then asked.
"Brother Lu is proud of his youth, and he has such a beautiful girl, he is really a young man." Xu Siye held the wine glass and looked at the person in front of him, knowing that Lu Xing was extremely satisfied with that lady.
Lu Xing heard the joke in Xu Siye's words, but he was not angry, he just looked at Xu Siye, not to be outdone, and there was a little more sarcasm in his words.
"Brother Xu's family has three beautiful girls, I heard that each of them has the appearance of sinking fish and geese, and the appearance of shy flowers in the closed moon, but they still care about my family's lack of salt."
"Thank you, Brother Lu, for your reputation."
Xu Siye's smile was gentle, and his heart was as if he had knocked over the spice bottle, with mixed tastes, "What happened to Brother Lu last time?" With a wave of his hand, he sent away all the subordinates in the hall, and watching them leave, Lu Xing spoke.
"Brother Xu's trust, I have nothing to do with my heart, but I heard some different news this time." Lu Xing looked at Xu Siye, looked at Xu Siye slyly, and waited for Xu Siye to speak.
"Since Brother Lu has mentioned this news, it is natural for me to know." Xu Siye picked up the teacup and slowly took a sip of water.
"The one above will go to the Yangzhou tea party, which will be of great benefit to Brother Xu's plan, and it is not a shame that we have spent so much time planning."
Xu Siye was shocked when he heard this, since ancient times, it was the Son of Heaven who sat in the court, and now there are bandits, and the emperor goes out to patrol the tea party, nothing happens, he doesn't believe it when he says that the sky is broken, but the situation has the meaning of "the wind and rain are coming".
