He paused and then said: "I remember that you still have twenty days of family leave. Isn't this enough?"

Bai Shan immediately said: "Not only go back to Longzhou, but also go back to Mianzhou."

He said: "Master Zhou and I have not returned to our hometown for many years, and we have not been able to worship our parents and relatives, so I plan to take my children back next year when they are older to worship their ancestors as a filial piety."

Mr. Old Tang did not ask any more questions and waved his hand to ask him to leave.

As the former chief censor, Mr. Old Tang naturally had to do what he could to make the rumors subside as soon as possible, so when he went to a court meeting and the emperor was not here, Mr. Old Tang asked Cui Shangshu, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, to complain about Bai Shan's practice of saving vacations, and tried to persuade him.

He said: "There is still a shortage of people in the court, which makes officials so busy. Even visiting relatives takes a year to save up for vacation."

Cui Shangshu didn't even move his eyebrows, and said calmly: "Every official's family leave is calculated based on the distance from his hometown. Some officials obviously have close homes, but they have to visit relatives in far away places. So what do I have?

The solution? The imperial court only distributes salary for twelve months a year. You can’t spend two or three months every year to visit relatives, right?”

No matter what the opinions of Mr. Old Tang and Cui Shangshu were, Bai Shan's intention of saving up vacations was spread, and the rumors gradually stopped.

When Yin You went to see Zhou Man, he smiled and said, "Everyone is a little disappointed to see that you and your husband are still in love."

Zhou Man said dissatisfied: "Is our relationship so easily destroyed?"

"The matter of passing on the family line through heirs is not a small matter," Yin You said with a smile: "How many couples will be separated over whether they eat a bowl of porridge or a bowl of rice, let alone such a big thing as passing on the family line through heirs."

Zhou Man looked at him in surprise, "When did you become proficient in these worldly things?"

"The more you read, the more you think about it and you will understand."

Zhou Man: "Where are you looking?"

"Xuandu Temple and Huguo Temple," Yin You said with a smile, "Those who go to Xuandu Temple and Huguo Temple to pray to gods and worship Buddha will understand after they listen to them express their various worries and requests in front of the statues and niches."

Zhou Man clicked his tongue and said, "Now you like going to Xuandu Temple and Huguo Temple more and more."

Yin You smiled and said, "Because those two places are quiet."

Zhou Man thought for a moment and nodded, "That's true."

Both Xuandu Temple and Huguo Temple are now very popular, and there are so many pilgrims coming and going, so the front hall is naturally unclean.

However, if Yin is an honored guest, he will have a quiet guest house to rest in, whether in Xuanduguan or Huguo Temple. Even because he goes there so often, there are guest houses dedicated to him on both sides.

In Xuandu Temple, he could talk to Daohe about mysteries; when he went to Huguo Temple, Master Zhiren, who rarely had guests, would also talk to him about Buddhism. Sometimes the three of them would get together to play chess and drink tea. That life was good,

It's so carefree.

The more Zhou Man thought about it, the more envious he became, and asked: "The Ghost Month is coming soon, will there be any activities at Huguo Temple and Xuandu Temple then?"

Yin You looked at her suspiciously and asked, "What, you want to go out?"

Zhou Man said: "I will be out of confinement by then, so I can go out for a walk."

Yin You waved his hand and said, "No, you'd better go find Bai Shan. I haven't heard of any activities."

Zhou Man: "Bai Shan will return to Longzhou next month."

Bai Shan was also afraid that Zhou Man would be bored. She had been able to walk in the yard recently. The weather was getting hotter and even blowing the air had become a luxury. So she looked at her eagerly. Bai Shan couldn't refuse, so he took the initiative to find Yin.

Or with Bai Erlang.

"Next month, Ghost Month, will we go to Xuandu Temple and sit down?"

Yin You asked, "Aren't you going to Longzhou?"

"Yes, but it doesn't matter if I am missing from my family. Man Bao and my daughter will accompany you."

Yin He: "..."

Bai Erlang was very happy, "Okay, okay, I heard that the ghost moon in Xuandu Temple will be used to pray for the souls of the dead in the temple, and there will be discounts on the rituals. We can also do some meritorious deeds."

Bai Shan set a date for their trip and then returned to Longzhou to cultivate relationships with his clan.

Bai Shan doesn't have many good memories of Longzhou. Perhaps it's because he has a shallow memory of good things, so he can't remember happy things; but it's because the bad things are too profound, so he remembers them very clearly.

Especially when he left Longzhou, he was too angry and sad, so every time he returned to Longzhou, he was not in a particularly good mood.

But I feel good about going to pay homage to my father.

As soon as Bai Shan returned to Longzhou, he went to visit his father's grave first. He knelt in front of the tomb and gave an overview of their life in the past few years. He asked him to rest assured that he would take good care of his grandmother and mother. After the ceremony, he got up after drinking.

When Bai Shan wandered back to his clan, it was already dark. In the dim night, there were not many people on the street. Some families hung lanterns at the door, and others went out to go shopping. They saw Bai Shan riding a horse.

Most people didn't recognize the horse as it passed by, so they looked at it curiously.

But there are also people who know each other and say hello: "Is he the kind boy from Sifang?"

Bai Shan stopped his horse and said yes with a smile.

As soon as they heard that it was from the fourth room, someone immediately asked: "Is it the one who is a high official in the capital?"

"There is only one son in the fourth bedroom. Who else is he?"

Under the dim light, someone saw Bai Shan's face clearly and praised: "He is so handsome. He looks even better than his father."

"Well, I heard that his wife is also good-looking, and the child she will give birth to may be even more handsome than him."

"Everyone in the fourth house can read. His great-grandfather, grandfather and father are all good at reading."

"He studied better and passed the Jinshi examination before he passed the imperial examination."

Bai Shan strolled back to the door of his house. The porter immediately came forward to hold the horse and whispered: "Master Lang, there is someone from the main room asking Master to come over, saying that he is ready to receive the wind and cleanse the dust for Master Lang."

"

Bai Shan stopped and asked, "Where are the people?"

"Sitting in the hall inside, here is the eldest husband of the eldest house."

Bai Shan went to the hall first. When he saw the strange middle-aged man sitting there, Bai Shan raised his smile, cupped his hands and saluted, "Cousin Shen, you've been waiting for a long time."

Bai Shen immediately returned the greeting and said with a smile: "Don't be polite, good cousin. I heard that you went to the ancestral graves as soon as you came back. You must be tired today. I should have invited you to come over tomorrow, but the elders are waiting.

Yes, so..."

"Knowing Shan, how dare you let the elders wait in vain? Cousin Shen, wait a moment, I will change my clothes and come back." Since he decided to have a good relationship with his tribe, Bai Shan had to try his best to do it well.

Although he can't do what his grandmother said, he can be flexible and flexible, but he will not cause trouble and try his best to be gentle and friendly.

Mrs. Bai saw that he was much gentler than before when he came back this time. The coldness and arrogance that he used to carry had dissipated a lot, and he felt more comfortable in his heart, with less secret hostility.

Bai Shan met the elders of the clan that night and went to clan school the next day.

Ethnology is still the same as before. Nothing seems to have changed in twenty years. Even the houses have not become obsolete. Bai Shan stopped at the gate and asked with a smile: "Who is the gentleman in Ethnology now?"

"Oh, he's the third cousin of the second cousin, the second cousin of the fifth cousin, and the eldest cousin of the sixth cousin."

The gentleman who pushed Bai Shan out of the family school was no longer in the family school. Bai Shan smiled and walked into the family school calmly with everyone.
