school days in ancient times

Ye Shilang was not happy, but he was happy.

Ye Mian returned to Baofeng Courtyard, asked the maids to dig out Qiu Lubai who had been secretly hidden during the Chinese New Year, and drank and played around until midnight before lying down.

On the second day, he slept until the sun was up. According to his plan, he wanted to sleep until noon, and then go to the prime minister's mansion for a meal, but he was stuck on the bed by his mother.

"You little slob! It's already time, why are you still lying on the bed?" Qiu stood beside Ye Mian's bed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Ye Mian was sleeping in Zhengxiang, Qingmeng was very upset to be disturbed by someone, he groaned and tossed around in the quilt twice, and then opened his eyes slightly, Baoxue and Baohe in front of the bed were busy hanging up the blue embroidered curtain .

Qiu's eyes swept over, and his face was slightly dark: "Master, I didn't know how to call after sleeping, how did you wait?"

Baoxue Baohe knelt down on the ground with a plop, and the maids outside the screen also knelt down when she heard it.

"Oh my mother!" Ye Mian yelled impatiently with a thick nasal voice, "Why did you come to me to teach people so early in the morning?"

"It's still early in the morning?" Qiu gave him a hard look, sat on the edge of the bed and put the silk jacket that he was accustomed to wearing beside the bed on him, and pulled it together, "The sun will take a snapshot of your ass up".

Ye Mian yawned, and lazily told Baoxue, "Go and bring me some tea."

Baoxue raised her head and took a cautious look at Qiu before she got up and brought Ye Mian the warm tea. After Ye Mian took it, Baoxue knelt down obediently.

Ye Mian was speechless: "Mother, let them get up, ouch!"

Qiu slapped him through the jacket: "It's obvious that you will love others! What can I do if I kneel for a while, I think I haven't cared about your yard for too long, and you have spoiled all of them."

Ye Mian poked her head into Qiu's arms, and said in a muffled voice, "I told them not to disturb me to sleep in. Your son has to go to school before dawn, and you don't feel sorry for him even if he is exhausted. "

Qiu slapped Ye Mian on the back twice again, "You kid is full of nonsense! I think you have to let your father and brother teach you a lesson."

Ye Mian leaned to the side, knelt down into a ball of shrimps, put his face against the bed and squinted his eyes and muttered: "When my brother was at home, I was taken to Bihua Pavilion to sleep during my ten-day vacation, and he let me sleep until noon , why didn't you hit him?"

Qiu Shi was laughed out of anger, and twisted his face, "You little villain, just blame your brother.".

In the carriage, Ye Mian was wearing brand-new clothes, even the purse and pendant were carefully selected and matched by his mother.

"You guys are going to take me to Yong'an Hou Mansion to celebrate my birthday, why didn't you tell me in advance?"

His sister-in-law covered her mouth with a veil and looked at him jokingly: "I told you yesterday that you have to run away again. It's just right to block the house like today."

Ye Mian didn't understand, so: "Why am I running..."

Qiu Shi smiled and smoothed things over, "Brother Mian is getting older, so I won't hide anymore."

Ye Mian was confused.

When we arrived at the entrance of the Hou's Mansion in Yong'an, there were all the carriages from various mansions to celebrate the birthday. When the servants of the Hou's Mansion saw the arrival of the aunt's carriage, they rushed in to report.

Mrs. Yong'an Mansion brought Mrs. Shizi to the second door of hanging flowers in person.

Qiu took two steps, "Why did you come out to greet me? On the day of the old lady's birthday, how can you get away?"

Mrs. Yong'an Hou grabbed Qiu's hand and said with a hearty smile: "I won't be able to welcome others when they come. Madam takes my daughter back to her mother's house. I can come out no matter how busy I am."

Mrs. Shizi also smiled warmly: "Mother has been looking forward to it all morning, and the people at the gate have been watching."

Qiu pulled Ye Mian who was behind him out and blamed him, "It's all because of this demon star, who covets the bed until the sun is bright."

"Oh, isn't this Brother Mian?" Mrs. Yong'an Hou said happily, "I didn't see him behind you when he left." Then she pulled Ye Mian to him and looked at him carefully, "I haven't seen Changed for more than a year She looks good and promising again, she looks really good!"

Ye Mian hurriedly bent down to salute Mrs. Yong'an Hou and Mrs. Shizi.

"Get up quickly," Mrs. Yong'an Hou didn't let go of her hands, and personally helped her up.

Qiu said with a smile: "Such a big brother doesn't look the same every year. He looks better than before, but his personality is too stubborn, unlike the young men taught by your mansion, who are good in everything."

Mrs. Yong'anhou was delighted: "If someone else said this, I would dare to accept it, but you, who raised Duan Hua, said it like this, I dare not accept it, I am afraid that people will laugh at me."

Mrs. Yong'an Hou laughed herself after she finished speaking, Qiu Shi hurriedly followed Ziqian, and a group of people entered the inner courtyard in a lively manner.

Ye Mian followed them into the main hall of the inner courtyard, where he felt a golden light and was almost blinded. All the wives in the room ordered their wives to say goodbye to gold and jade, and saw that Mrs. Yong'an Hou personally brought a beautiful little girl. When the young master came in, everyone was curious.

"Yo, whose child is this? Why is it so good?"

Mrs. Yong'an Hou had a smug look on her face, and said: "My in-laws, second uncle's brothers, how about it? Let's see if this character is a good character?"

The lady who asked the question just now reacted for a while before she said happily: "But Mr. Duanhua's younger brother? Quick, come forward and show me!"

All the children and family members in the house came to the spirit.

Ye Mian didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down to salute and greet the wives. According to the etiquette master taught by Guozixue, he didn't dare to make any mistakes, and his movements were standard and his figure was elegant.

All the wives couldn't hold their mouths together in joy, boasting that they were extraordinary in appearance and couldn't be better.

The Qiu family on the one side was also very happy to see Ye Mian so calm and polite. Ye's mansion is not very extensive, and this kind of big occasion where all the rich and powerful wives of the capital are gathered can only go around through the in-laws' mansion, so Ye Mian Mian had never experienced this before.

Among them, a lady who was over half a century old and dressed very luxuriously seemed to really like Ye Mian, she dragged him to her side, held his hand and would not let go, she almost rubbed her hands, "My son, you Just stay here, the snow is melting outside, it's dead cold and unclean, we gentle and quiet brothers don't go wild with that kid."

Ye Mian couldn't help being a little embarrassed, Wenxiu was quiet... exome?

Jiang Nanchu, who had always known his temperament, couldn't hold back his smile.

"Why is Nan Chu laughing, so happy," a lady asked.

Jiang Nanchu turned his head and said softly: "I'm kidding that Brother Mian will be shy. He didn't dare to look up at the ladies in the room."

All the family members in the house laughed, and some wives did bring their daughters and granddaughters, and they all sat down on the other side to drink tea and eat snacks.

Ye Mianjiu, he's not embarrassed to look at it, he just thinks it's nothing to look at, so small...

Mrs. Yongbeihou called some girls over to greet Ye Mian, Ye Mian bowed and lowered his head without looking sideways.

Everyone's girls are well-bred, all are gentle and quiet, with decent manners, only one girl secretly raised her eyes and glanced at Ye Mian, she seemed to have something to say but she didn't dare in the end.

Ye Mian didn't care either.

The Duke's wife hugged Ye Mian again, and asked if he went to school?What book did you read?What snack do you like to eat?

Ye Mian answered one by one, and looked enviously at the older men who came in behind because it was inconvenient to stay, so Shi Shi ran away after paying her respects.

He has no energy. He played too late last night, drank a lot of wine, and was sleepy after eating two pieces of sweet snacks.

In the end, when his sister-in-law looked over, he seized the opportunity and gave him a look for help. Jiang Nanchu was exquisite and sweet, and he understood what it meant at a glance, so he found an excuse to bring him out.

Jiang Nanchu scolded him as he walked: "Don't go to bed so late in the future, you don't know how to cherish your body at such a young age, you will suffer in the future! How dare you secretly close the door to drink, I think mother is right, your room is indeed Time to tidy up."

Ye Mian hurriedly admitted his mistake like twisting candy.

Jiang Nan gave him a first look, and asked his maid to take him to the courtyard where her daughter lived to catch up on sleep.

The Hou Mansion cherishes Jiang Nanchu very much. After all these years of marriage, her Zhenyue courtyard is still reserved for her, and all her things are still there. The maids clean it every day. Occasionally, when she and Ye Jing go back to her mother's house together stay there.

This is the first time that Ye Mian has entered the lady's boudoir seriously, and when he opened his hands to let Penglu take off his robe, he couldn't help but look around twice, staring at the precious treasures in the Duobao Pavilion covering the wall When she was fascinated by the ornaments, a sister with a woman's bun who was watching the two little girls making the bed came over with a smile, and said flatteringly: "Brother, do you still want to play with that little elephant? Slave servant May I take it down for you?"

"Ah?" Ye Mian froze for a moment before he could react.

Penglu on the side smiled: "Fourth young master, don't you remember sister Hongnian?"

The man named Hong Nian smiled and said: "The last time my brother came, it was estimated to be almost two years ago. He was only young at that time, how could he remember those of us who look after the house."

After finishing speaking, he walked neatly to Your Excellency Duobao, took a small gadget, and Ye Mian took it over for a closer look. It was a palm-sized tin elephant, and the carving on the back of the elephant was covered with various small gemstones. It is dazzling, and there is a small buckle on the strap. Ye Mian gently pushes it to reveal the hollow elephant body inside, and a few earrings are randomly placed inside. I think this thing is the jewelry box that his sister-in-law used to play with when she was a daughter.

Holding Lu touched the inside of the spread quilt, the quilt was not warm yet, it was because Mrs Tang had just put it in, so Ye Mian was first asked to sit on a mahogany lion rolling ball beauty couch covered with white fox fur, squatting After taking off his shoes, he asked him: "Fourth young master, do you remember this elephant box? Last time you took a nap here, you liked it very much. If the young master didn't stop you, you would have taken it home."

Ye Mian jittered, coughed and said, "I also have quite a few pictographic ornaments in my room, which are imported."

Holding the dew and pursing his mouth, he said happily: "The eldest young master searched for you everywhere later."

Ye Mian: "..."

Ye Mian lay down under the quilt, held the dew to tuck the quilt corners for him, and put the elephant box beside his pillow, "Don't worry about sleeping, you're singing outside. When it's time for the birthday banquet, the servant will wake you up."

Ye Mian was indeed sleepy, he closed his eyes and nodded, and looked around the bed again with his eyes open, seeing that there was nothing wrong, he and a little girl put down the big red tent.

In the bed tent, Ye Mian vaguely heard the door outside, as if another person came in.

"Why are you here, holding the yarn?"

"Girl don't worry, let me come and watch together"

"Then let's warm up here and drink tea."

"Well, did you sleep in it?"

"Sleep, let's take it easy..."

Ye Mian was woken up by a male duck's voice in a voice-changing period.

"I'll go see him."

"My Qiye, don't bother him, the girls in his room say that he hates others disturbing his sleep, how dare you provoke him?" Penglu coaxed him in a low voice.

"I'll just take a look, I won't make a sound." The voice seemed a little impatient.

"You can take it easy, my ancestor!"

Ye Mian looked at the head that got into the account with blurred eyes.

"you're awake?"

Ye Mian didn't say anything, who is this guy?

Penglu and Pengsha have already followed, and while fastening the account, they seemed to be complaining and said: "If the seventh young master is in such a panic again, we will tell the girl to go."

Ye Mian didn't move, just lay there on his back and looked at him, he was about the same age as him, slightly taller than him, wearing a magenta brocade robe woven with golden cloud patterns, red lips, white teeth, delicate eyebrows, full of vigor expensive.

The seventh young master ignored the two girls, but sat down on the bed, watching Ye Mian obediently lying on the side of the bed, neither glaring at him nor ignoring him, just looking at him softly, couldn't help but With a smug look on his face, "Since you're here, you won't be angry any more. I'm not that kind of stingy person, and I won't argue with you. We're reconciled."
