school days in ancient times

Holding the gauze and holding the dew to one side, covering their mouths and laughing, not daring to disturb the agreement between the two young masters, they raised the bead curtain and retreated to the outer hall, holding the curtains and listening with their ears, ready to go back at night without saying a word. Learn to listen to their girls.

Although Ye Mian didn't know what was going on, but he could understand that this guy had a relationship with the previous Ye Mian. Today in the carriage, his sister-in-law teased him that if he knew he was going to come to the Hou's mansion, he would hide out. Because of this person.

Ye Mian got dressed again and walked towards the birthday banquet with him. Jiang Beiqin asked him to stay at the Hou's Mansion at night and they had a good talk, saying that he had excellent imported wine there, but Ye Mian didn't agree. He is "not familiar" with Jiang Beiqin, and secondly, he does have something to do tomorrow, and he had promised Lu Lizheng to pick him up at Ye Mansion a few days ago.

Jiang Beiqin was not very happy, "Are you going to the Prime Minister's Mansion again to find that kid from the Wei family?"

Before Ye Mian could answer, he saw a servant girl trotting over, saying that the birthday banquet over there had already started, and Mrs. Shizi told them to hurry over.

The two of them didn't dare to delay, so they stopped talking and rushed to the flower hall in the inner courtyard.

Although today is Mrs. Ye's birthday celebration, Mrs. Ye has been paralyzed on the bed for many years and cannot move or speak normally, so only a few high-ranking wives went in to ask An to visit. He hosted a banquet with Mrs. Yong'an Hou, but the old Hou Ye didn't attend because he didn't like noise.

When Ye Mian and Jiang Beiqin walked in together, the people in Ye Jiang's two houses covered their mouths and laughed when they knew about the lawsuit. He slapped him and said angrily, "You two little enemies, don't make trouble anymore!"

Some good people didn't know why, so they asked what kind of lawsuit it was, and Mrs. Yong'anhou told them the awkwardness between the two children as a joke.

Ye Mian also strained his ears to listen, knowing the whole story after deliberation and guessing.

It turned out that this Jiang Beiqin was his sister-in-law's younger brother, and he was the seventh in the family. The two became in-laws from the two houses, and because they were about the same age, they quickly became acquainted. Seeing this little brother, he felt like a good match. Seeing Tian'er chasing after his ass, he regarded him as a confidant brother, and wished to discuss with his mother to change him to Jiang Beiqin.

More than a year ago, his elder brother and sister-in-law visited the Hou Mansion, and of course they brought Ye Mian. That time Ye Mian brought Jiang Beiqin a birthday present, a bamboo basket of peaches, Ye Mansion's own peach tree, because Jiang Beiqin ate it once and said he liked it, so he remembered it. The day before he came, he picked a small basket with his own hands despite the itch of peach hair allergies.

Jiang Beiqin happily accepted it, but Ye Jing suddenly said, "I also like to eat those peaches, but it's a pity that no one picks them for me. Brother Qin, would you like to share one with me?"

When Jiang Beiqin saw that his most admired brother-in-law and himself wanted peaches, his face flushed with excitement and he forgot everything, and pushed a basket of peaches over: "Brother-in-law, I'll give you all, I don't like eating peaches the most!"

Ye Mian "severed friendship" with Jiang Beiqin on the spot, and neither of them could coax him down.

Jiang Beiqin was loved by thousands of people since he was a child, and no one said "no" to him. Ye Mian made him look bad in front of him, and he bowed his head first to make up for it. After being awkward for a year, Jiang Beiqin became a little older and understood the matter, and Ye Mian had already gone to Guozi School.

He had put down his face and waited for Ye Mian a few times in school, but Ye Mian had already changed his soul at that time, so how could he recognize him.

Every time Jiang Beiqin sees Ye Mian "pretending" not to know him, hooking shoulders to Wei Angyuan, walking past him as if nothing had happened, he is so angry that he has to smash a whole house when he returns home.

This morning, he went up the mountain with his third brother to ask for longevity incense for his grandmother. When he got home, he heard his sister-in-law say that Ye Mian was here. I rushed over excitedly without changing.

Ye Mian could have been taken by Jiang Beiqin to the outer courtyard for a banquet, but before he left, Ye Mian was recruited by the Duke's wife, and asked to sit next to her to eat, and the ladies and relatives on the side all laughed It is decided to be the grandson-in-law, so as not to hold other people's children and be unable to let go.

Mrs. Guogong was very happy, "How do you know that I think so? I wish I could take them home today and raise them by my side for a while, and exchange my grandchildren for Mrs. Ye Shilang as compensation."

Qiu's face was full of smiles, but he didn't answer her previous sentence, and only joked behind her: "Then I have taken advantage of it! Use such a worthless person to exchange for a good young man taught by the Duke's Mansion. Our master in the manor has to reward me once."

All the female relatives were amused by her, Qiu Shi also followed suit, but disdainful in his heart, Duke Qing's mansion is indeed the best, but there are too many granddaughters in your mansion, if you are like the Marquis of Yong'an back then It is a good idea for us to mention a serious granddaughter like a granddaughter, and we want to discuss it generously. We don’t even mention a concubine, so we want to make our brother Mian the grandson-in-law!

As far as the appearance of her youngest son is concerned, among the young men who came here today, none of them can catch up with a little bit, let alone his elder brother Jing, who is so valued nowadays, and then In two years, this level will definitely be promoted to another level. When the time comes, his brother Mian will choose an official after he learns from Guozi. At that time, whoever wants to "climb" will not succeed?

The wives are all human beings, and some of them have already tasted it and don't mention it anymore. Mrs. Yong'an Hou sighed secretly when she glanced at Qiu Shi. She is also a person who believes that children's marriages must not be sloppy. The former Mr. Duanhua first came out, and the high-ranking family and even the Duke of the Houmen robbed their heads. For her family Nanchu, she tore up faces with many people openly and secretly, and lowered her self-worth to curry favor with a fourth-rank official. In the end, she made her daughter smile through tears, and married her wishful husband in a glorious manner...

Ye Mian's feast was extremely disturbing, the women in the room, the sweet aroma of the powder had overwhelmed the fragrance of the vegetables, and the Duke's wife was still nagging in his ears, and he was wilting after a while. , gave Jiang Beiqin a wink, Jiang Beiqin was considered loyal enough, and killed Mrs. Yong'anhou's eyes, and took Ye Mian away before finishing the meal.

In a small side hall in the outer courtyard, two tables of a dozen teenagers in fine clothes were noisily toasting and changing cups, while the maidservants in the room were busy with their feet not touching the floor, and their noses were sweating.

When Jiang Beiqin brought Ye Mian in, the third young master of the Jiang family was standing at the table trying to persuade him to drink. Seeing him coming, he quickly pushed him on the chair, drank two cups and apologized, and hurried to the main hall. I hit him several times.

"Why did Beiqin come here? Hurry up and punish yourself with three cups!"

"That's right, is there any master who treats guests like this?"

At the banquet, you guys started teasing each other, Jiang Beiqin didn't say a word, he picked up the flagon and poured himself a drink and drank three glasses in a row, everyone applauded.

Ye Mian sat down next to Jiang Beiqin.

"Hey? Isn't this your little follower?" One person obviously knew Ye Mian, and after being stunned for a moment, he laughed, "Why, don't you fight?"

Jiang Beiqin sneered, and said nonchalantly, "I usually have the best temper, but who knew that he would be so angry."

The attention of other people on the table was also attracted, and the few who played with Jiang Beiqin since childhood also recognized Ye Mian at this moment, "It's true, I felt familiar with him when Beiqin brought him in, it's been almost two years See, the appearance has changed a lot."

The Marquis Prince's House is not quite the same as their ordinary official children's social circle. Ye Mian looked around the room, but he didn't know anyone, but there were two who looked familiar, and they should have met in Guozixue.

The person who spoke just now saw that Ye Mian was a little dazed, so he raised his chin at him, "Do you still remember me? I took you to ride a horse back then, and I gave you a golden coiled grass whip."

Ye Mian naturally didn't recognize him, so he shook his head truthfully, and everyone at the table laughed, saying that he made a good whip for nothing, and everyone forgot about it.

The man didn't care, he put his arms around Jiang Beiqin's neck and laughed and joked, "Sure enough, you're the only one in his eyes. Every time he runs after your ass, telling you to go east or west, he's more obedient than your servant."

Ye Mian frowned slightly.

"Crying 'Brother, brother' all the time makes people's hearts itch, Beiqin can't get rid of it if he wants to, and we can't abduct him if we want to."

Jiang Beiqin glared at him, "Don't talk nonsense, when did I want to dump him?" After speaking, he glanced at Ye Mian guiltily.

After everyone chatted and laughed again, Jiang Beiqin introduced all the people in the room to Ye Mian very seriously. Most of the people who came today were relatives and acquaintances of the Yong'an Hou Mansion. This hall can allow Jiang Beiqin and his three Brother is accompanying him, and naturally he is also the eldest son of each mansion. Some who have never met him, and heard that he is the younger brother of Mr. Duanhua, will inevitably stare at him a few times.

Ye Mian was the youngest in the room, so he didn't talk too much, he stood up, held the cup in both hands and poured it in with his head raised.

"Respect, brothers."

"Okay!" All the young masters clapped their hands and applauded, they all liked his neat appearance.

"Is Ye Mian going to school now?" The prince of the Zhongping Hou Mansion asked after putting down his wine glass.

Ye Mian nodded and replied, "I'm reading the word 'Qi' in the Imperial Academy."

The prince smiled and patted the young man sitting next to him, and said gently: "My third younger brother Yanping is reading the word 'Xiu' now, and he is in the same year as Beiqin. If you encounter any difficult things in school, you can ask Beiqin is the same as looking for him."

"Brother, don't lie to me!" The third young master of Zhongpinghou's Mansion waved his hands repeatedly and shouted: "Don't be fooled by his cute rabbit appearance, I've heard the name of this guy before, and he's hung up in Xingsi Pavilion." No. Troubleshooter!"

Zhongping Hou Shizi looked at Ye Mian in surprise and then at Jiang Beiqin, Ye Mian didn't care much, Jiang Beiqin coughed and said in defense: "Brother Mian is used to getting close to the son of Zuo Cheng's family, that kid usually You all know what dog's virtue is in it, and it brought him down."

The smile on Ye Mian's face became lighter.

"I'll take care of him from now on," Jiang Beiqin said, looking at Ye Mian, "Stop interacting with that kid from the Wei family from now on, and you'll stay here tonight. I'll have a game tomorrow and introduce a few characters and characters. I know you with good conduct, and you make good friends with people."

Ye Mian couldn't help but rolled his eyes, thinking, brother, who are you?

Seeing his disdainful attitude, Jiang Beiqin was a little annoyed, and forced to ask, "Did you hear that?"

"Understood, but I will not be free tomorrow." Ye Mian said.

"What's the matter with you?" Jiang Beiqin's face turned cold.

"Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"you!"

Jiang Beiqin didn't expect that Ye Mian, who always regarded his words as "imperial decree", would dare to embarrass him in public, and became angry and angry.

Seeing that something was wrong, everyone hurried over to smooth things over, "Haha, brother Mian is still young, Beiqin, you big brother, don't be impatient, teach slowly, teach slowly."

Another person said: "My younger brother is about the same age as him, and has a stubborn temper."

"Hurry up and fill your young master's wine, didn't you see that the glass has been empty for a long time?" Zhongping Hou Shizi asked the servant standing behind Jiang Beiqin.

"Yes, yes, Brother Qin is in a hurry, you should let him drink a glass of cold wine to calm down his anger." The young master echoed.

Which boy would dare to pour cold wine for Jiang Beiqin in three or nine days, and quickly poured the hot Liuxia wine from the unicorn-patterned bronze warm wine dendrobium to Jiang Beiqin, but when he stopped, he accidentally poured it into the cup. Two drops of water from the jug landed in Jiang Beiqin's hands. The jug had just been taken out of the boiling water, and the water covered was naturally warm, so "hot" that Jiang Beiqin hissed, and then reacted furiously.

The young man was so young that he trembled with fright, he forgot to kneel down and beg for mercy, Jiang Beiqin was already angry, picked up the cup and hit the young man in the face, making a gash on the forehead on the spot.

The young masters hurried up to coax him, reprimanding the servant while calming down Jiang Beiqin.

Jiang Beiqin didn't want to have an attack on the old lady's birthday, and he didn't want to disturb the interest of the guests, so he impatiently ordered the waiters around him, "Take him away, let him kneel in the snow in the yard, and find someone to watch him. If you move, they will tie up their whole family and sell them to Beiman Mountain!"

The boy turned pale with fright at the scene of this innocent disaster, and before he could beg for mercy, he was dragged out with his mouth covered and his arms twisted.

Ye Mian stood there in a daze for a moment, but the teenagers were not surprised, and even echoed Jiang Beiqin's words, and then turned the matter off.

Jiang Beiqin took advantage of this unlucky boy to vent his anger, so he didn't continue to trouble Ye Mian with the trouble just now, but he was really upset, so he glanced at him and then ignored him.

Ye Mian sat there alone, although not embarrassed, but also boring, bored in his heart, but it was not good to cause trouble at his sister-in-law's family, so he endured his unhappiness and picked up his chopsticks silently to pick his favorite dishes to eat.

The big guys quickly started talking again.

"The Qizi students of Guozixue this year are really lively. Not to mention the Qinan Academy, I heard that Zhuang Jue from the Princess' Mansion also came to Beijing a few days ago to join in."

"It's going to be called 'Rongnan County King', and it was granted a few days ago," Zhongping Hou Shizi corrected.

"Oh? That's not easy to see. I was thinking of inviting you," the young master said disappointedly. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "Then how about we come to accompany you?"

The table became full of spirits, "Yes, yes, Nanbian'er's rumors are so evil, we really want to see if Zhuang Jue is really a dragon and a phoenix, or Nanbian'er's boast."

Zhongping Hou Shizi was slightly older than them by two years, so naturally he couldn't mess around with them, he shook his head and chuckled lightly: "Calm down, although he grew up in Jinling, he is a serious royal family member, don't forget, Eldest Princess He and today are siblings of the same mother, both descended from the empress dowager."

"Extremely so," Jiang Beiqin also nodded, and said, "From my point of view, when it comes to truth, none of those in the palace stand upright."

Jiang Beiqin compared a few numbers with his hands while talking, and everyone raised their eyebrows in understanding.

Prince Zhongping Hou regained his expression, and said again: "Although this person is young, he is extremely extraordinary. You are all used to being impetuous in Beijing, don't let someone offend you before you see clearly."

Although these princes and brothers are usually a little arrogant, they are clear about the situation and dare not make mistakes. After being beaten by Zhongpinghou Shizi a few words, they all put away Qinglang's thoughts in a desperate manner.

"Why does the son say that this person is not simple?" One person asked seriously.

Zhongping Hou Shizi lowered his eyes: "I can't tell you more now, but he came to Beijing this time with money."

Zhongping Hou Shizi raised his hand and stretched out two fingers.

Everyone is puzzled.

"The income from the treasury for two years." Zhongping Hou Shizi said indifferently.

"hiss!"

The whole room is filled with the sound of breathing.

The sons couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

Ye Mian, who was burying his head in his meal, was also shocked, he is so fucking rich! ! !

Isn't this what he wants most now?

Jealousy distorted Ye Mian's face.

"Wealth is incomparable to a country..." The young man regained his composure and sighed softly.

The crown prince nodded, "The imperial court will not have to worry about the food and grass at the gates of Beiman and Xihu for at least ten years."

Everyone was convinced.

"This title, which has been suppressed for a long time, was thrown out with money. This family is really..."

The prince glanced at the person who spoke, "It's better not to provoke."

The young master rubbed his nose in embarrassment: "I didn't think about it, I thought that if it is really the appearance of a heavenly man as others said, then we can make friends."

Another son echoed: "There is Mr. Duanhua on our side, but they think we are young and refuse to talk to us. Last year, Lai Yang, my eldest brother took me to meet him, and he didn't even give me a wink." Did not give."

Zhongping Hou Shizi chuckled, and looked at Ye Mian who was buried in his meal, "You ask your elder brother, why don't you go to him directly in the future."

All the young masters burst into laughter after a sudden realization, and toasted Ye Mian again and again.

Ye Mian was erected by them again, feeling a little bored, and it reminded him of when he was in school in his previous life, the girls in the junior high school would find him every day after class and ask him to go to the high school to find his brother to hand over love letters.

Ye Mian had to cheer up to deal with a few cups, but Jiang Beiqin stopped the rest.

Before returning to Ye Mansion, Jiang Beiqin personally sent his sister to the carriage.

"Are you sure you won't come tomorrow?" Jiang Beiqin asked Ye Mian.

"Well," Ye Mian watched his mother and his sister-in-law sitting firmly in the carriage, then turned around and said, "I really have something to do tomorrow."

Jiang Beiqin didn't speak, just stared at him for a while, then turned around and left with a sneer.

Ye Mian shrugged his shoulders and didn't care much. He didn't know what made "Ye Mian" value Jiang Beiqin so much before, but he has his own principles for making friends. In his opinion, it's better not to associate with this person.
