Chapter 1 Back to Datang
Outside the village, a meandering river flows quietly, a few lotus leaves on the river surface, a few dragonflies frolicking on it from time to time, a few weeping willows on the bank are verdant, and the spring breeze blows, making this already beautiful scenery even more poetic.
But Ye Xipo sat on the shore without any appreciation, to be precise, he was in a daze.
He, Ye Xi, the word Xipo, is a good young man in the 21st century, who has just stepped out of school and is ready to enjoy a free and unrestrained life.
But God played a joke on him, once he woke up from a dream, he found that he came to a completely unfamiliar place, and after inquiring with the most learned clan elders in the village, he learned that this was actually the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty.
"I can't go back, I really can't go back!" Ye Xipo's eyes were glazed, and his mouth kept chattering. Although he has always hoped that he can place his love on the mountains and rivers all his life, watch the flowers bloom and fall, and watch the clouds roll up at dusk, but this does not mean that he has to travel to ancient times!
"Brother Xipo!" Just as Ye Xipo was thinking, a rough voice came from behind Ye Xipo, "Brother Xipo, my aunt has called you home for dinner." ”
Ye Xipo came back to his senses and looked at the person who walked in front of him, this person had dark skin and a strong body, if he didn't know people, he might think of him as an adult, in fact, he was the same size as Ye Xipo, and he had just turned fourteen years old this year.
"Oh good, Erzhu, let's go!" After Ye Xipo crossed over, many memories of the original owner appeared in his mind, in this world, he is still called Ye Xi, also the word Xipo, and the one next to him is his friend who has played since childhood, He Kui, nicknamed Erzhu, and this place is called Ligusi Village, as for why it is called this name, it is impossible to study, most people in this village are surnamed He, as for Ye Xipo's family settled here from other places more than ten years ago.
Three years ago, Ye Xipo's father and Erzhu's parents were attacked by fierce beasts on the way to the city, although in the end everyone worked together to kill it, but they died of serious injuries, Ye Xipo's mother endured her grief alone, took Erzhu to her own home, and raised her as her own child.
But Ye Xipo had a serious illness five days ago, and he has been in a trance since he got better, which really worries Ye Mu and Erzhu.
"Brother Xipo, you, do you have something on your mind?" On the way home, Erzhu couldn't help but ask.
Ye Xipo paused: "How do you say that?" ”
"Brother Xipo, you have been absent-minded recently, and my aunt and I are worried." Erzhu also stopped and muttered.
Hearing this, Ye Xipo stared at Erzhu's eyes and asked, "Erzhu, if you go to a strange place, what will you do?" ”
"I, I've been following Brother Xipo, I'm not going anywhere." Erzhu touched his head awkwardly and said.
"Hahaha, say you're stupid, you're really stupid."
If he heard others say that he was stupid, the second pillar would have slapped him a long time ago, but this is Ye Xipo, don't say that he is stupid, even if this life is taken, the second pillar will not be ambiguous.
Erzhu said seriously: "My father said that I will not be successful in my life, let me follow Brother Xipo, so that I can get a wife." ”
Ye Xipo's smile was still the same: "Okay, Brother Xipo will definitely ask you for a wife." ”
After Erzhu's words, Ye Xipo was no longer sad and compassionate, and the sunset sprinkled from the sky, stretching the figures of the two children for a long time.
Since I can't resist, let me see this charming Tang Dynasty.
······
The life of the Ye family is not too good, but it is not bad, the Erzhu family and their own fields add up to fifty acres, although Ye's mother a weak woman can't plant much land, but all the fields are rented out, and they can also get food and clothing, plus everyone in the village knows the situation of the Ye family, supports each other, and there will be a little surplus money in their hands every year.
Ye Mu is a typical Jiangnan person, and her usual behavior has the shadow of everyone's beautiful girl.
"Mother, three years have passed, I want to go to school again!" After dinner, Ye Xipo said to Ye's mother, who was sewing clothes.
Ye Xipo and Erzhu originally learned the Four Books and Five Classics in the school, but after Ye's father's incident, Ye Xipo dropped out of school and went home to keep filial piety for his father for three years. But this is still the best way for the Hanmen to glorify their ancestors and get in and out of the headland.
"Erzhu, what about you?" Ye Mu put down the clothes in her hand and looked at the Erzhu Road standing next to Ye Xipo.
"Wherever Brother Xipo goes, I'll go." Erzhu said honestly.
"Okay, I originally wanted to tell you about this, but today the Luming Academy in Hangzhou came to our village and sent a notice, saying that new students will be recruited in three days, and I want you and Erzhu to try it." Ye Mu said with a smile.
"Auntie, is it the third-ranked academy in Hangzhou?"
After Erzhu said this, Ye Xipo found out about Luming Academy from the memory of the original owner, there are three colleges in Hangzhou that are the most famous, namely Nanshan Academy, Qingyang Academy and Luming Academy, not only because these three colleges were founded by the world-famous Confucianism, but also because each college has come out of the champion.
Everyone wants to enter such a good academy, but there are very few people in the academy, because entering the academy has to go through an assessment, and those who pass the assessment can stay.
Erzhu said frustratedly: "There is still an assessment to enter this Luming Academy, don't say that we haven't been to the academy for three years, even if we have gone to the academy, we may not be able to pass the assessment." ”
Ye Mu smiled when she heard this: "It's okay, if you haven't passed, you should have a long insight, anyway, there is no harm." ”
"Mother is right, Erzhu, you always have to try, don't go out these days, I'll give you a good tutoring at home." Ye Xipo patted Erzhu's hand and said.
"Well, I listened to Brother Xipo, and Brother Xipo said that it was okay."
Early the next morning.
The entire village of Ligusi is shrouded in mist, and in the east of the village there is a small farm yard, in which a rooster pecks at small insects and crows in the air. In the middle of the yard, there is a huge osmanthus tree towering, the breeze blows, and the fragrance of osmanthus comes to the face,
After the courtyard is three bluestone houses, one of the windows is half-covered, stop carefully for a while, you can hear the sound of Taoist reading, the immature voice with the fragrance of osmanthus spread far and wide.
