school days in ancient times

In Baofeng courtyard, Baoxue dragged Penglu, who was sent by the Jiang family to pick up the clothes, aside to inquire.

Peng Lu just bit her lip and shook her head, Bao Nian, who had been staring at them from the corner of her eye, stood up abruptly, threw the newly folded clothes to the little girl, and said coldly: "Bao Xue, you don't need to ask her , he is from Bihua Pavilion!"

Peng Lu was flushed by Bao Nian's fall, and said anxiously: "I really don't know, the young master's face even our grandma didn't dare to step forward, how would I know?"

Just as Bao Nian was about to retort, Bao Xue gave him a wink.

"We don't ask about anything else," Baoxue said earnestly while holding her hands in hand, "It's just that the fourth young master always needs dinner this time, why the meal we sent was blocked at the door, he just now Ill, my body is still weak, and I am so small, how can I endure starvation?"

Baohe also choked up on the side and said: "Our fourth young master has had stomach problems since he was a child, and he kept making troubles from time to time with such a fine care. Can you still fall?"

Several big girls in Baofengyuan sang red faces and other bad faces, and you said a word to each other to make the blush and neck thick of the run-on.

"Then...then I'll go back to our grandma."

After holding it out, Bao Nian spat out hard.

Bihua Pavilion actually invited the family law. No matter how the master beats it, it is only natural for the father to discipline his son. Ye Shilang and Mrs. Ye are both in the mansion well. What is going on with this Bihua Pavilion arresting people to ask the family law? Which elder brother taught the younger brother not to know that he will be high-ranking, and he will take the light and take the heavy, but the young master is good. I don't know what kind of misery he was beaten this time. He actually made people guard the Bihua Pavilion, and even they were not allowed to go in to serve him.

On weekdays, they move around Baofeng Courtyard and Bihua Pavilion diligently, but it is impossible to say that the servants of Baofeng Court have no resentment towards Bihua Pavilion. Carrying them into the Bihua Pavilion, if you are blind, you can't see. They are all serious sons of the mansion, so why?

The servants of Ye Mansion didn't dare to do anything in front of them, but which of them didn't point and chew their tongues in private, and the one who was even more nasty spread outside the mansion how stubborn their fourth young master was, and their reputation was ruined , this is just a brother, if it is a young lady who is waiting to be married, maybe just wipe his neck and it will be over.

It's just that Penglu, who was angered and hit the gun, was really wronged. The young lady and the young master have a good relationship, but the young master lost his temper for the first time, and their grandmother dared not rebel, let alone pleading, even Discussing to send the people from Baofengyuan in to serve, was refuted by the young master, and the young mistress didn't dare to say no. Later, she was so frightened that she hid in the inner room and sent a concubine Ji to serve.

The Bihua Pavilion is guarded like an iron bucket. Baoxue and the women guarding the Moon Gate begged for a long time, but they didn't even bring in a piece of refreshment. Bao Nian was so angry that he wiped his tears when he returned home. If you don't go to Bihua Pavilion anymore, the prisoner will still be able to take a look. Did this young master arrest the fourth young master and put him in prison in Dali Temple? He didn't dare to let them take a look.

In fact, Ye Mian didn't suffer any physical pain this time, Ye Jing was so angry that he flicked his sleeves and left, leaving him alone in the study to reflect, his second brother Ye Yuan came in after a while.

Ye Yuan is his brother from a concubine, and he is not very close on weekdays, but his aunt was once the old maid of the Qiu family, and Ye Yuan followed his elder brother since he was a child, how many times Ye Mian saw him at the Qiu family A little more than other concubines.

Ye Yuan helped him up, and fetched water for him to wipe his face and hands. Ye Mian didn't know him well after all, so he sat on the couch in the inner room, dodging unnaturally.

Ye Yuan didn't care, he just smiled and took out a greased paper bag from his bosom and handed it to him.

"Eat it, it's made in a small stove in my yard, it's still warm."

Ye Mian's nose fluttered, and he sniffed unconsciously. A milky scent radiated through the oil paper and penetrated into the nasal cavity, and there was a timely roar in his abdomen.

Ye Yuan smiled lightly, helped him peel off the greased paper, and fed him a piece.

Goat's Milk Bazhen Cake, warms the stomach and fills the stomach.

"Thank you brother."

He ate half of the milk cake with Ye Yuan's hand, "Where's big brother?" Ye Mian thought for a while and finally raised his eyes and asked.

Ye Yuan patted the pastry crumbs on his hands, and said in a low voice: "I was so angry that I could scrape two taels of frost on my face, and I dropped a cup at my concubine's place, and that concubine even quietly asked the doctor to come from Bihua Entering through the side door of the pavilion, it is said that he has a headache."

Ye Mian's heart trembled, "So serious?"

"He's only mad at you for risking your life."

Ye Mian lowered her head, unable to swallow the milk cake in her mouth.

Ye Yuan stroked his head with a smile, and said, "You don't need to blame yourself, just take the punishment seriously."

Ye Mian raised her head, "What will Big Brother punish me for?"

"Just now he asked you about the first chapter of "Mencius. Qin Xin", and asked you to copy it a thousand times for him."

Ye Mian raised his paws and flapped his ears, fearing that he had misheard and asked him: "How many times did he say it????"

"A thousand times."

Ye Mian took a deep breath and said, "How many days will it take me to copy this?"

"How much time to copy is up to you. Brother, he has stopped your monthly payment, and the other side of the account has also said hello. If you don't have the brand of Brother, you are not allowed to pay you. When will he receive your copy?" Wen, when will your monthly money be restored?"

"Ah????" There was no soul in Ye Mian's widened almond eyes.

Ye Yuan continued: "I also sent someone to your Baofeng courtyard to collect your money box. After a while, you can ask the big maid in charge of the courtyard to check the accounts with me."

The last road was blocked, Ye Mian turned around and lay on the couch with half of his body lying on his back, clenched his fists and smashed the bed.

"I'm dead, dead people can't copy articles! Let mother go and give him a younger brother to copy!"

Ye Yuan paused for a moment as if he couldn't bear it, and then said: "Brother also said that the one thousand articles must gradually improve in calligraphy before and after to be considered qualified, otherwise you will be fined to copy again."

"!!!!!!"

Mr. Duanhua is really a ruthless man.

Ye Mianpo stood there motionless, but secretly made up his mind that if he got into trouble in the future, he would run to his father and surrender himself. At most, his cheap father would attack him physically, but his brother actually imposed psychological torture and economic blockade on him. , who can stand this!

In the early morning of the second day, Ye Mian didn't have anyone to wake him up. He opened his eyes at Maoshi, crawled out of bed, obediently ate the breakfast that his sister-in-law had sent, and hurried to Guozixue.

In Guozi School, Wei Angyuan and others were quite surprised to see Ye Mian coming to school in one piece.

"Didn't you get caught up in the past?"

"What's the matter?" Ye Mian said angrily, "Are you going to be beaten until you are bedridden?"

Several people were overjoyed and said: "We have all prepared medicine for sores, and we planned to go to Shi Lang's mansion to see you after school today."

Ye Mian curled her lips: "My elder brother never let me show my father's face."

Li Zhao opened his mouth and sighed: "Brother Jing is too protective of you. If this is my third brother, he can tie me up and kick me into the stable, and then beat me to death with the whip behind his waist."

Ye Mian rested his chin on the table and said, "He might as well beat me up, it will be over after a thunderbolt, and I can still lie on the bed for a few days on sick leave."

Ruan Yunsheng thought for a while and asked with a smile, "Brother Jing punished you for something else?"

Ye Mianbian nodded with his mouth open: "He asked me to copy the first chapter of "Mencius. Jinxin" for him a thousand times, and also asked me to improve my calligraphy before and after, otherwise I would have to copy it again."

After being stunned for a moment, they laughed out loud and slapped their hands gloatingly.

"Yes, we still need to check the calligraphy, then we can't help you, Ye Si, copy it slowly by yourself." Li Zhao laughed loudly.

Ye Mian glared at him angrily, thought and hated: "It's all Zhuang Jue's fault! He took me to sleep in his yard overnight, and made such a big commotion, otherwise our Ye family would not know about it. gone."

Ruan Yunsheng frowned, "Speaking of which, I want to ask you, you two are fighting like black-eyed chickens, why did you sleep with him the other day?"

Li Zhao nodded: "Ang Yuan went to ask for someone and was stopped outside, so he almost started fighting."

Wen Xun said bitterly: "We can't even bring in a book boy from the mansion, but his guards are standing all over the yard!"

Ye Mian squeezed Wei Angyuan's hand resting on the desk, looked at Ruan Yunsheng and frowned and said, "That guy is very annoying, he brought me there just to make fun of me."

"Tricking you?" Ruan Yunsheng looked at Ye Mian suspiciously, very puzzled.

"Isn't it the same in Taoxi Villa last time? He asked someone to find out my ins and outs, all kinds of preferences and weaknesses, and it's very convenient to fix me!" Ye Mian gritted his teeth.

Ruan Yunsheng saw that Ye Mian didn't speak, Ye Mian thought for a while and then sneered, "It's just who can't do it, I handed over my brother's fine in a few days, and asked him to check that grandson for me, who hasn't a shortcoming!"

"Don't!" Li Zhao hurriedly waved his hand to stop him: "Don't touch him right now, if he is really just playing tricks on you, you can't bear it and just go back, you can't let the spies Go see him."

"Why?" Seeing Li Zhao's serious face, Ye Mian asked strangely.

Li Zhao looked around and said in a low voice: "A few days ago, the fifth prince had been arguing with him all the time. He thought he had suffered a bit, so he asked the secret guards to investigate him. How could he have found out some secrets?" ,result......"

"The result is not important," Ye Mianxing's pupils dilated a little, interrupting Li Zhao to ask in a low voice, "What is the secret?"

Li Zhao: "..."

Wei Angyuan, who was silent all the time, said helplessly: "I just know why he rushed to the capital in such a hurry."

Ye Mian: "Why?"

Wei Angyuan: "He still has a twin brother in Jinling, but..."

"He has a twin brother?" Ye Mian opened his eyes wide and couldn't help interrupting Wei Angyuan, "Why hasn't anyone mentioned it?"

Wei Angyuan nodded: "Yes, the eldest princess has three sons, Zhuang Jue has two younger brothers, one of them is a twin named Zhuang Yu, but even though they are twins, they have no similarities in appearance."

Ye Mian nodded and understood, it's normal for fraternal twins to have different looks.

Wei Angyuan continued: "It's not as good as Zhuang Jue's talent and intelligence. He is really ordinary, so people rarely mention him, but this time Zhuang Jue's sudden visit to Beijing has something to do with him."

"how?"

"I heard that Zhuang Jue's twin brother has always been at odds with him, and the relationship between the two brothers is cold, and the people of the fifth prince actually found out that this Zhuang Yu poisoned Zhuang Jue before the New Year's Eve last year. The fate is too great, I am afraid that I have already died in Huangquan."

"what???"

Ye Mian's eyes were full of disbelief with his mouth open. He poisoned his own brother, who was also a twin brother. How much hatred is this damn?

"Then Zhuang Yu is now?"

"It's just being guarded. Zhuang Yu and the third younger brother are quite brotherly. I heard that the third younger brother forced each other to die. If the eldest princess insists on expelling Zhuang Yu from the mansion, he will let the princess have only one son, Zhuang Yu. .”

Ye Mian was stunned for a while, the secrets of the royal family, as expected, any one of them is a shocking melon.

"So Zhuang Jue went to Beijing out of anger?" Ye Mian asked.

Wei Angyuan shook his head: "It's impossible for him to come to the capital just because of this matter. Judging from Zhuang Jue's actions these days and the connections he has already made in the capital, the eldest princess intended him to come to the capital long ago, but because It is very possible that this matter will come to Beijing in advance."

Ye Mian nodded: "The princess mansion in the capital has not been repaired yet, he came here in a hurry, but he was right."

Li Zhao leaned his head over and said in a low voice: "The fifth prince has angered the king of Rongnan County. In a rage, Zhuang Jue took away the lairs of those secret guards he raised, and threw them to the fifth prince's capital, gouging out his eyes and cutting his tongue. In the Zhuangzi in the suburbs, they are blatantly provocative."

Ye Mian shuddered, and asked after a while: "Then the Holy One..."

Wei Angyuan shook his head: "I don't know, at least there is no action on the surface. If the fifth prince doesn't make trouble in front of the imperial court in person, the Holy Majesty will pretend to be deaf and dumb even if he knows it. It is impossible to deal with King Rongnan in this situation. I think Zhuang Jue also clearly calculated this point to be so arrogant."

Li Zhao patted Ye Mian on the shoulder, and sighed: "So, brother Mian, you should copy your one thousand chapters of Mencius obediently first, or let brother Jing know that you want to inquire about the king of Rongnan County, and he will let you copy your hand." to break."

Ye Mian lamented in his heart, wouldn't he cut off his hand after a thousand articles? Now he can't wait to run to Ye Shilang and ask his father to discount his hand directly.
