school days in ancient times

Ye Mansion is not far from Guozixue, it's nearly an incense stick's drive away.

When Ye Mian got into the carriage, it was just dawn.

The boy kneeling in the carriage supported him to sit still, stuffed the gilt spherical sleeve stove filled with hot charcoal into his arms for him to hold, and closed the leather cloak on his body.

Ye Mian lazily closed his eyes and leaned against the wall of the compartment, while Xiaosi Fengjin hurriedly opened the hidden compartment on the side of the compartment, and took out the meatloaf wrapped in greased paper one by one.

There is a hot smoker in the dark compartment, and the meatloaf is still steaming when it is taken out.

Feng Jin removed half of the greased paper, put the cake to Ye Mian's mouth, and said, "Fourth young master, today's meat cake is delicious. You can have a taste of the minced meat made from pigeon breast and liver."

Ye Mian half-opened his eyes, and lazily said, "How do you know that you ate it?"

Feng Jin is just eleven years old this year, two years younger than Ye Mian, knowing that the fourth young master is teasing him, he is not afraid of him, he said with a smile: "I dare not, butler Niu knows that he wants to slap me, it is Aunt Liu who is in the kitchen." Tell me."

Ye Mian slightly opened his mouth and yawned, reached out to take the meatloaf and took a bite, then raised his chin at the boy.

"Go eat it yourself, don't let others know."

"Thank you, Fourth Young Master, for the reward."

Feng Jin grinned so happily that his teeth could not see his eyes, he stretched out his hand to grab one and huddled in a corner and began to gnaw it.

Ye Mian smiled, he really likes to see this kid, not to mention his cute looks, he is also clever and not shy, the most important thing is that when Ye Mian was unlucky, he often made up nonsense with him to fool his father, Very courageous.

After choking on two palm-sized patties, he took another sip of warm tea, and the car arrived at Guozixue.

Today is the first day of school after the new year, the square in front of Guozixue is very lively, and there are even long queues of carriages on the bluestone roads on both sides.

Ye's car couldn't move before it reached the main entrance, Ye Mian opened the curtain and looked out, oh!The road ahead was as congested as the Xidan North Street in the morning rush hour, so I hurriedly asked the coachman to pull the carriage to the side of the road.

The coachman reined in the horses and horses according to his words, Ye Mian didn't wait for the boy to go down to put the car stool first, and jumped down with a "whoosh".

Students of Guozixue are not allowed to bring their own attendants when they start. Ye Mian took the book bag and left after jumping off the car. Feng Jin hurriedly followed, trying to help him carry the book bag to the gate, but was caught by Ye Mian. I was rushed back impatiently.

Standing there, Feng Jin looked at the back of his own young master, and at the other young masters who were slowly stepping on the horse stools to get out of the car with the support of the servants, he couldn't help but sighed.

My heart is very empty.

Guozixue is very large, and it is also very boldly built. Outside is a tall and majestic vermilion lacquered door. There are 49 gates on the door, and the large lacquer-filled gold plaque hanging on the top is written by the ancestors of the Dawen Dynasty. .

The main gate, Jixian Gate, is opened at Chenshi in the morning and Youshi in the evening. Students and gentlemen from the capital can come in and out. Usually, the gate is closed. If you want to enter Guozixue for any official position, you have to get off the sedan chair and go to the side door go in.

Ye Mian is terribly afraid of the cold wind here, there is not even a high-rise building in this area, the cold wind invades the muscles and bones, and his face hurts like a knife.

Carrying his book bag, he hurried into Jixianmen, walked through the second Yongguangmen along the central axis, and then turned right along the veranda a few times before arriving at the courtyard where he usually attends classes, Qiruiyuan.

The Guozixue of the Dawen Dynasty is a four-year system. The first year is called "Qi", the second year is called "Xiu", the third year is called "Zhi", and the fourth year is called "Kun". Enrollment is available in the fall at the age of 12-14.

Of course, not everyone is eligible to study here.

If your father's official position is above the sixth grade, he can be directly recommended to the National Academy of Tribute Office, and he can enter the school after the review. This is a shadow school; if not, it is not without opportunities. For ten years, the emperor loves talents. If the children of ordinary people from all over the country have completed the rural school and have excellent conduct and talent, they can be recommended by the local state government to the Department of Guozixue. The best 300 people will be enrolled, this is Bagong.

Ye Mian is very repulsed to go to school. Before he came here, he had just survived the tough senior year of high school. He never enjoyed the free and easy beautiful college life in the legend, so he came here to smell the chicken and get up early.

How early you get up, how much hate in your heart.

The Qirui Academy he was in had a total of twenty students, and the students were naturally the children of officials who were as educated as him. For the sons, there are 60 people in a college, with five places in total.

As soon as Ye Mian entered the school room where he usually attends classes, he heard someone yelling strangely: "Brother Mian is here, Ang Yuan, give him that thing quickly."

As soon as the words fell, the people in the room burst into laughter, Ye Mian ignored them, took off the sable fur cloak and handed it to the servant boy of Qirui Courtyard, and then went straight to the corner of the corner to roast their hands on the gossip smoker cage. He also surrounded him happily.

Ye Mian rested his hands on the bamboo strips, raised his head and said, "I heard you yelling like wolves in the room just now on the porch, and I'm not afraid that the Department of Discipline will come in and arrest you."

Li Zhaoyi, the second son of General Guide, was sitting on the desk, and he "hummed" a couple of times, and said indifferently, "They came to Qirui Courtyard to make trouble on the first day after the new year. It was so comfortable."

Everyone laughed, and Ye Mian also laughed for a while, then asked Wei Angyuan who was sitting alone in the back with a displeased face: "What are you going to give me to make them look crazy?"

When the teenagers saw him asking, they all started chirping and laughing again, as if watching the show, Wei Angyuan glared at them, and everyone hurriedly suppressed their laughter and shut up.

Then Wei Angyuan angrily threw a thin, flat rosewood brocade box with rosewood carvings at him. The box rolled a few times on the ground and reached Ye Mian's feet. Get weird in a flash.

Amidst all the strange laughter, Ye Mian got up and rushed towards Wei Angyuan, dragging him to the ground and punching him with his fists.

"Wei Angyuan, even you laugh at me, I think you are the one who thinks you are living a comfortable life!"

Wei Angyuan was riding on the ground as he resisted and scolded him, and those who watched the fun slapped his hands happily. Several teenagers in brocade clothes just started making a fuss in the school room of Qirui Academy until the first class bell of Guozixue rang. , Wei Angyuan and Ye Miancai crawled out from under the desk.

Everyone didn't dare to make trouble anymore, so they quickly called the servant boy in to help them redress and comb their hair.The first thing that Guozi learns to ring the bell is to prepare for class, and the servant boy who has long been accustomed to these scenes helps the two young masters tidy up their clothes quickly.

Wei Angyuan angrily went to pick up the brocade box on the ground, but Ye Mian snatched it quickly and stuffed it into the book bag.

Wei Angyuan pointed at him and said angrily: "Ye Si! Return my good things!"

Ye Mian's seat was right behind him. He shook his head and pretended not to hear. He picked up a book and pretended to read it. Just as Wei Angyuan was about to have a seizure, he heard the servant at the door cough twice. This was to tell them that the husband was here, Wei Angyuan Reluctantly, he flicked his sleeves and turned around bitterly.

Ye Mian tilted one corner of his mouth, looked at Wei Angyuan's angry back, and remembered the time when the two first met.

Wei Angyuan was the son of the left prime minister of the Dawen Dynasty, and the entire Qirui Academy was vaguely headed by him on the first day. Ye Mian had just come to the Dawen Dynasty for a few days at that time, and he looked down on him for relying on his father's official status. Seeing Ye Mian sneering and pretending to be over the top, Wei Angyuan was even more displeased with the arrogant and arrogant appearance. The two of them fought violently because of a little friction within a few days.

Guozixue is not a vegetarian, neither of them was released back to the mansion that night, and they knelt down in the command room of Xingsi Pavilion for a night as a statue of a saint. None of the servants closed their eyes.

It was the first time in his life that young master Wei had fought with others in person, so he suffered a lot. Ye Mian calmed down a lot when he knelt until midnight. How many years older than others, how can a man of his age compare with a child...

Ye Mian, who was more and more confused, apologized to others in the command room that night, but Wei Angyuan would not care about him, and the small-eyed knife swished into his body, piercing a hole, and it was obvious that Liang Zijie was going to die when he grew up. And his endless posture.

But Ye Mian has a thick skin and is not afraid of him. In the latter half of the night, he talked stand-up comics with a smiley face for half the night, coaxing and amusing. It was stolen and placed under Wei Angyuan's knees to cushion him.

Ye Mianren is good-looking and funny, more interesting than everyone Wei Angyuan has ever seen, and he has a lot of tricks to coax people by putting down his body. The confused young master Wei didn't hold back, and forgave him before dawn, and when they came out of the command room, the two had already hugged their waists and shoulders and called each other brothers.

The Department of Discipline, who was in charge of guarding outside the commanding room, was simply amazed, but secretly heaved a sigh of relief. It would be best to reconcile, otherwise, if the son of the prime minister really couldn't swallow the bad breath, he would go back to the house and make a complaint. He will definitely not let it go, after all, this face is full of color, not to mention the House of the Minister of the Household Department, even these people in their school have to follow suit.

At that time, the training department of the gatekeeper admired Ye Mian very much. He was sweating because of him, but he could stand up and bend his waist. The sloppy kung fu that is like a water mill is really... .Do not mention it.

Early the next morning, when Ye Mian returned home, he was beaten up by Ye Shilang, but he became famous in the first battle in Guozixue. The son of the prime minister dared to beat him, and he was beaten. The bully was simply born out of nowhere, and he registered in Xingsi Pavilion of Guozixue very smoothly.
