school days in ancient times

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, which is also an extremely auspicious day for marriage. Wei Angyuan's brother is getting married today.

Guozixue rested for half a day, and school ended at noon. Ruan Yunsheng, Li Zhao, and Wen Xun followed Wei Angyuan to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Ye Mian said goodbye to them first, and hurried back to the Minister's Mansion.

After returning to the mansion, he didn't enter Baofeng Courtyard, but went straight to the kitchen to ask the cook to fill the three-layer food box full of rice dumplings, and ran out again.

"Go to Dali Temple." Ye Mian ordered the driver after he sat firmly in the carriage.

The coachman and Feng Jin, who was waiting on the sidelines, were startled.

"What are you doing, why don't you go quickly."

When he went to the main courtyard to pay his respects this morning, he didn't see Ye Jing. After asking, he found out that his elder brother has been busy day and night with the serious case at hand, and has been staying in Dali Temple for several days. Today, I can't come back for the holidays. His mother is so distressed that she can't do it, but she can't do it. Her eyes are red when she mentions it to him.

Dali Temple is not far from Ye Mansion, less than a cup of tea, the coachman reined in the horse, Feng Jin jumped down first, and reported the door to the fierce-looking guard with a knife.

It's just that this Dali Temple is a place of punishment and prison, and those who have nothing to do with it are not allowed to enter, even if Ye Mian is the younger brother of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he is politely blocked from the door.

Ye Mian heard it in the carriage, and got out of the carriage with the food box by himself. It was not difficult for the guards. He didn't intend to go in, so he smiled and said to him: "Then please ask someone to hand over the food box to you." For Ye Shaoqing, there are some food for the Dragon Boat Festival inside, if it is inconvenient, you can open it according to the rules to check."

"No need!" The guard waved his hands again and again, and said respectfully: "Young one, immediately ask someone to hand over the things to Mr. Ye, and please rest assured, Fourth Young Master Ye."

Ye Mian smiled and nodded to him in thanks, then boarded the carriage again and rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After Ye Mian left, the guards at the door gathered their heads together, carefully gossiping, "You really are my younger brother, he looks so small..."

Wei Cheng's son is getting married, and the only ones who didn't come are the ones who couldn't receive the wedding invitation. The long queue of carriages at the gate of the prime minister's mansion has already reached the foot of another street. Ye Mian went directly to the back door, waiting there. Seeing Ye Mian, the young man bowed his head and led him to Wei Angyuan's yard.

A table was set up in Baoxia in the yard, Ruan Yunsheng and others were there, but Wei Angyuan, the master, was not.

The maid hurriedly filled the food, Wen Xun swallowed the food in his mouth and said: "I'm busy ahead, Ang Yuan was dragged out by his brother to treat guests without even having lunch."

Ye Mian nodded and had lunch with the others.

The ancients paid attention to "Yang to Yin" when welcoming a marriage, so dusk was considered an auspicious time for the ceremony. Ye Mian and the others had dinner in Wei Angyuan's courtyard, and then went to watch the ceremony after resting for a long time.

It was the first time for Ye Mian to watch a wedding ceremony in this Dawen Dynasty, and it was such a grand occasion, so he found it lively and interesting.

The bride is the direct granddaughter of the old prince and Taifu of the three dynasties. It is said that the dowry in the backyard that is full of yards can't be inserted.

Finally, when the auspicious time was approaching, the sky was full of colorful clouds, and the suona and gongs and drums opened the way. Wei Angyuan's second brother, Wei Angqing, was riding a tall horse, accompanied by a group of nobles in rich clothes, followed by a red sedan chair and a team of people, walking all the way.

Ye Mian and Li Zhao took advantage of their young age to be upright and shameless, so they squeezed to the front to watch the excitement, only to see that the sedan chair had already landed, the curtain was lifted, and the matchmaker and maids were happily supporting each other in their clothes. The bride with the golden embroidered phoenix crown and Xia Pei got off the sedan chair, stepped over the threshold, and stepped over the brazier.

The people around were applauding and saying auspicious words, but Ye Mian couldn't laugh, and shook his head vigorously, but the picture of the broken and rotten bride being dragged forward by the ghost matchmaker still kept coming. flash.

Ye Mian shivered as he looked at the red-clothed newcomer who was being helped to walk forward to pay homage.

"Let's go quickly, let's go see the elder brother and the bride's worship." Li Zhao said while pulling Ye Mian while turning his head.

Ye Mian followed them in a trance after watching the bride's worship, and Li Zhao dragged him to the new house, saying that he wanted to watch the brothers make a wedding.

Ye Mian squatted on the ground, no matter how much Li Zhao pulled him, he couldn't move.

"I'm not going!"

"What are you doing?" Li Zhao said anxiously, "The hijab will be lifted in a while, hurry up!"

"I don't want to watch it! I'm tired, I want to go back to Ang Yuan's courtyard for a rest."

Ruan Yunsheng looked at him strangely: "Didn't you say you want to see what the bride looks like?"

Wen Xun also went to pull him, "We've been waiting since noon to see the bridal chamber? We've been lying on the couch all afternoon, what are we doing now?"

Ye Mian was hurriedly dragged out of the window of the new house by several people, and when he looked in, the room was full of red, which made Ye Mian's heart tremble.

Surrounded by people, Wei Angqing picked up the bride's red hijab with a gold and jade wedding scale, and Ye Mian subconsciously raised his hand to cover his eyes.

Ruan Yunsheng on the side couldn't laugh or cry, "What are you doing?"

Ye Mian couldn't vomit out the bitterness, and said angrily, "I'm shy, can't I?"

Li Zhao couldn't stop laughing, "It's not you who married a wife, why are you ashamed?"

Standing next to them were a few elders from aristocratic families who heard the lawsuit here, and they all laughed out loud, and couldn't help but join in the fun.

Under the sunset, Ye Mian's face was almost redder than the bride who put on wedding makeup on the bed.

After returning to the mansion in the evening, Ye Wanqiang had a Dragon Boat Festival banquet with the elders at Shouyunzhai with a smile on his face, and then went back to Baofeng Courtyard in a sleepy manner. He only ordered people to prepare water for a bath, and went to bed early to prepare for rest.

The maids of Baofengyuan looked at each other, not knowing why, what happened to the fourth young master who would like to play like crazy every time he sleeps until the third watch on weekdays?

Baoxue secretly called Feng Jin over and asked, Feng Jin just scratched his head, "It was fine when I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but when I came back, I didn't look very good, maybe... Maybe I had a quarrel with Young Master Wei and the others. ?”

Baohe gave him a soft pew, "Stop talking nonsense, our fourth young master is the most open-minded, who could be unhappy after arguing with others outside?"

Bao Nian stared beautifully, stretched out his hand and twisted Feng Jin's arm, "You follow people, but you don't know what to say to us! I think you must be lazy and not serve well. Believe it or not, I will go to my wife tomorrow. Say something there?"

Feng Jin let out an "Ouch" in pain, rubbed his arms begging for mercy, and said, "Sisters, please forgive me this time, I will do my best in the future."

Baoxue and the others didn't ask anything at Feng Jin's place, but they didn't dare to open the curtain to ask Ye Mian who had been lying down early, and they all just watched outside in anxiety, no one dared to close their clothes and go to sleep.

When it was Haishi, the clapper outside rang three times, one fast and two slow, and the servant girls who were so sleepy that their heads were leaning together opened their eyes, only heard the deep rustling sound of turning over in the bed curtain, and couldn't help but feel heartbroken. The next surprise, is this little ancestor still asleep?

Baoqing lightly added a few pieces of tranquilizing incense to the incense burner, just about to go around and secretly lift up the curtain to take a look, when he heard someone calling for the courtyard gate outside.

The maids gasped, and Qiqi cursed secretly in their hearts, this is some blind-eyed ghost barking at the door in the middle of the night.

Baohe, who is usually the best-tempered, put on his clothes and went out to check angrily, but after a while, he lowered his head and led Ye Jing in, who was still in official uniform.

Baoxue Baonian stared blankly for a while, seeing Baohe winking at them behind the young master, he reacted and squatted down silently to give blessings.

Ye Jing stood there, looked at the inner room twice, frowned and asked, "Why are there so many candles burning so late? Did Fourth Young Master not rest?"

Before Baoxue could reply, she heard Ye Mian's clear voice coming from Luojin Jinping.

"elder brother?"

Ye Jing walked over and saw Ye Mian sitting on the bed with one hand holding up the gauze tent. Although she was wearing pajamas and her hair was loose, her eyes were clear and bright, she didn't look like she was asleep at all.

Ye Jing stretched out her hand and patted a chestnut on his forehead, "How long has it been since you're still messing around?"

"I rested early, if you don't believe me, you can ask Baoxue and the others." Ye Mian rubbed her forehead and muttered, "You can't blame me if you can't sleep."

Baoxue who was outside the screen hurriedly replied: "Don't dare to lie to the Eldest Young Master, but the Fourth Young Master stopped early..."

Ye Jing reached out and touched his forehead, "Then why can't I fall asleep and feel uncomfortable?"

Ye Jing just walked over from Ye Luli, her fingers were moist, Ye Mian rubbed her forehead and muttered: "I don't dare to hide my discomfort, it's not like I haven't been punished before."

Ye Jing looked at him and laughed softly.

Ye Mian looked up at his elder brother, and asked in confusion, "I want to ask you, what are you doing in my yard in the middle of the night?"

Ye Jing gave a light "um", "It's nothing, I just wanted to take a look at you and leave."

Ye Mian looked at his brother and smiled, "Is the zongzi delicious?"

Ye Jing lowered her eyes to see Ye Mian's crescent moon eyes shining brightly with a smile, and she looked like a successful thief. She couldn't help but flicked his finger again, "It's so unpalatable."

"Oh, brother!" Ye Mian hugged Ye Jing's waist shamelessly, and hit the snake on the stick, "I haven't seen you for a few days, so you can't say something nice, am I your brother?"

Ye Jing struggled for a while but did not break away from Ye Mian's twisted bone sugar, and said helplessly: "My outer clothes are full of dew, why am I so frizzy at such a big age."

Ye Mian touched Ye Jing's black official uniform embroidered with skylark patches, and sure enough, his hands were damp, so he quickly got up and said, "Then why don't you take off your clothes?" After thinking about it, he said, "Brother Or don't leave tonight, the dew is very heavy at night, you are tossing back and forth here, how can you get cold?"

Ye Mian didn't wait for Ye Jing to speak after finishing speaking, and turned around to tell the servant girl, "Baonian, go to Bihua Pavilion and ask for two clothes of the young master, and then let someone tell my sister-in-law that the eldest brother is resting in my yard." one night."

After Ye Mian ordered the servant girl, he turned around and saw Ye Jing looking at him with a half-smile, and quickly grinned, with an innocent face, two rows of small white teeth, harmless to humans and animals.
