school days in ancient times

The pot of water that cannot be lifted is Ye Mian's brother.

Ye Mian was born in an ordinary family in his previous life, but he had a brother who was not ordinary. His brother was four years older than him. All the way to Beijing University, the best university in China, with a green light. Every time my parents mentioned his brother in front of outsiders, their backs would collapse, and relatives, work colleagues, and neighbors would not be envious of them.

Especially his father, who always said that their family must have accumulated virtue in the previous life, and the smoke was rising from the ancestral grave to let his brother entrust the birth to such a rough man as his son, so he was very precious to his brother, His eyes are blind, needless to say about food and clothing, he has always provided the best for him with the best of his family's efforts, Dad Ye works very hard, but no matter how busy he is, he will find time to talk to his eldest son every day, even if he is on a business trip, The phone calls will not be interrupted every night, but Ye Mian, who has lived outside his brother's halo since he was a child, is not so lucky. There is only so much fatherly love, most of which are given to his brother, and the rest is naturally ignored and perfunctory. .

Ye Mian was very wronged. When a boy was a child, he had a little bit of admiration for the role of his father. Such an obvious difference in treatment made Xiao Ye Mian unable to understand and accept it. Naturally, he cried and made noises, but this was even more disgusting to Ye Mian. Talking about the second child in the family with outsiders, they just lament that he has a bad personality and is annoying.

Later, when Ye Mian grew up, he knew that crying would not bring more love from his father, so he imitated his brother subconsciously. Kao Jing University.

The eldest brother of the Ye family is smart, and Ye Mian is naturally not bad, and his academic performance has been top-notch since he was a child. However, Ye Mian’s household registration is in a province with a large population for the college entrance examination, and the admission rate of Beijing University is low. , failed as expected.

In the year of re-study, Ye Mian held his breath, and almost imitated the ancients' head hanging beam and awl piercing his buttocks. He suffered a lot, but luckily he was admitted to Beijing University in the end.

But on the day of receiving the admission notice, Ye Mian did not get the affirmation and praise he imagined from Ye's father. His father just looked at him and sighed: "Why bother to be brave, the whole family has been worried about you for a whole year. Your mother still has to be shameless, you are different from your brother, don't do that porcelain job without that diamond."

Ye Mian was trembling with anger, but he didn't argue with his father. He was already used to digesting negative emotions by himself, and he was depressed all by himself for the whole summer vacation.

The day before the start of school at Beijing University, relatives gathered together to practice for Ye Mian. Everyone praised Ye Mian for his promise, but Ye’s father, who was drunk, waved his hands: “I can’t do it. It took two years to pass the exam. His brother will give him extra lessons before the exam, otherwise he will fail the exam again, how can we two have the face to sit here and eat with you, the boss of my family is not only a lucky star, but also our family's savior."

Ye Mian had insomnia that night and stayed up all night. When it was almost dawn, he felt really bored, so he sneaked out to get some air with swollen eyes, but was accidentally knocked down by a drunk driving car. .

In the Dawen Dynasty, he was also called Ye Mian, and this Ye Mian also had an older brother.

If it is said that Ye Mian’s older brother in his previous life was a cheater in life, then his elder brother from the Dawen Dynasty was like a god who came down to earth. In this era of "judging people by their appearance", my elder brother looks as good-looking as a banished fairy.Three years ago, after finishing reading Kun characters in Guozixue, he did not donate his official position like other officials' children, but took the scientific examination in a serious manner. He has extraordinary knowledge in his belly and outstanding literary talent, and he praised several good words with his palms, and he was nominated for the second place on the spot, and everyone in the back palace privately spread that if the eldest son of the Ye family hadn't lost his age, why would the number one pick and the number one prize go to another family.

Although these words are rumored privately, they are not unfounded. In the palace examination today, His Majesty selected the number one scholar, the second place, and the third prize, but he did not let them go. He stared at the young master of the Ye family who looked like a jade tree, and asked for a long time if he liked it. Like something, in the end Jinkou Yu bestowed the watch word "Duanhua" before nodding frequently and stroking his beard and joy.Since then, there has been a "Mr. Duanhua" in the Dawen Dynasty. In that year, it doesn't matter whether it is a noble lady from an official family or a Xiaojia Biyu from a commoner's family. Who wouldn't secretly inquire about the "Mr. Duanhua" with his good sisters in the boudoir? The talent is the best among the six arts, and the jade is unparalleled in the world."

Mr. Duanhua was only 17 years old when he became an official. According to the precedent, the second place in the imperial rank should be awarded the official position by the Ministry of Officials. Usually, he will be arranged to be a civil editor of the sixth grade in the Imperial Academy. Unexpectedly, the emperor is one step ahead of the Ministry of Officials. The day before the official selection, I summoned Mr. Duanhua's imperial study for two hours, and on the second day when he went to the court, he was granted the official position of Dali Temple from the fifth rank, and the official rank was second. In a land with real power, it is rare for Shengen to be so honored and favored. How could he be promoted to be the Shaoqing of Dali Temple a year and a half later, from the position of the fourth rank!One must know that his father, Ye Shilang, has been in the household department for half his life, but he has only been a third-rank official. Since then, it is unclear who the celebrities around the emperor are, and the threshold of the Ye family's mansion has not been trampled on this year. How many roots.

In the previous life, Ye Mian still had the heart to compete with his brother. After all, he felt that he was good, but in this life, he didn't even think about it. Competing with outstanding people can promote people's progress, and competing with gods for strengths , Isn't that full?Ye Mian knew that there was no way when he saw his brother Ye Jing for the first time. One was in the sky and the other was in the ground. Every move and every throw of his hand can compare you to the mud.

The elder brother is so dazzling, and he is the eldest son, so he will naturally be favored. Ye Mian is very familiar with this scene.When he first came to the Dawen Dynasty, he learned from the servants that the original owner was the same as him in his previous life. In order to compete for his father's attention, he saw Tianer's nonsense, and Ye Mian knew the result without asking. Ye Shilang looked at his His eyes are worse than those of Ye's father in his previous life. Ye's father is negligent and impatient, but Ye Shilang's eyes will inadvertently reveal disgust and disgust.The first time Ye Mian read this kind of emotion in Ye Shilang's eyes, he was shocked and frightened, and felt a sharp pain in his heart, but he couldn't tell whether it was for himself in the previous life or for the original owner of this body.

After finishing the meal in Yuxianlou, several people hurried back to Guozixue along the original road.

After getting off the carriage outside the wall of Dead Meilin, Ye Mian was the first to climb over the wall and cross over. Several people outside the wall rubbed their hands and tried to follow one by one, when they suddenly heard Ye Mian screaming in the wall.

"what---"

This voice is broken.

The few people were startled, and after looking at each other in dismay, they quickly stepped on the haystacks piled up under the wall and hurriedly climbed up.

"Brother Mian??"

Ye Mian stood firmly under the wall and stared angrily at a dead plum tree not far away, his heart almost jumped out of his heart, and his chest was still heaving violently.

This dead plum grove is already gloomy, and it also comes with several versions of ghost stories. Ye Mian, since he was reborn in the Dawen Dynasty, has been very taboo about ghosts and gods. If it weren't for this plum grove, few people The inspection is convenient for them to skip school, so he won't step in, but every time he passes here, he still feels very nervous.

Just now when he jumped down and hadn't stood still, he saw a few pieces of yellow Ming Qian'er being swept by an evil wind and coming straight towards him, slowly falling on his boots and then rolling down to the ground, reflecting the pale white on the ground. The snow is so impenetrable!Looking up, I saw a large piece of yellow coins with ashes scattered on the snow not far away, and a pile of yellow paper gold coins under a dead tree.

Another gust of wind blew by, and Ye Mian stood there feeling his hair stand on end. When he was trying to look carefully, he saw a man suddenly appearing from behind the dead tree, with only half of his body exposed. , leaning on the tree with one hand, and staring at him with one eye, Ye Mian couldn't bear it, so he howled out in fright.

After Wei Angyuan and the others jumped down, Ye Mian regained his strength, raised his finger and pointed at the man and sternly reprimanded: "Who are you? What are you doing sneakily?"

The man retreated behind the tree again.

Li Zhao was not stingy, he took a few steps over and pulled the man out from behind the tree, then pushed him to the ground.

The man looked shocked, stood up tremblingly, and looked at them with a pale face.

"What are you looking at?" Li Zhao kicked up and said angrily, "Quickly tell me! Who are you? How dare you pretend to be a ghost in Guozi!"

The man staggered from being kicked, took two steps back to stabilize his body, but he still didn't speak, he just bit his lips and bowed his waist to bow.

Li Zhao raised his eyebrows and raised his feet halfway, but was stopped by Ye Mian.

"He's wearing a bracelet," Ye Mian pulled Li Zhao and pouted at the man's wrist.

Li Zhao paused, looked at the man's wrist, frowned, and looked at each other with Wei Angyuan and the others. It turned out that they were classmates of this year's Qizi students.

The students of Guozixue must wear the bracelet uniformly issued by the school when they go to school. Ye Mian thinks this is a bit similar to the school badge of the previous school, but here the bracelets of each "grade" are different, and the bracelets of "Qizisheng" "Xiuzisheng" is made of ebony wood, "Zhizisheng" is made of blue medicinal paulownia wood, and "Kunzisheng" is made of brown diamond rattan.

This person wears a red spatula bracelet on his wrist.

Li Zhao walked over and grabbed the man's wrist and took a closer look, then put it down with a look of disgust, and said disdainfully to Ye Mian: "The Qiqian courtyard, I said I have never seen it before."

Their bracelets are wrapped with a piece of silver about half a finger long, with a word engraved on it, representing the academy you are in, Ye Mian and the others are in Qirui Academy, and the word "Rui" is engraved on the silver piece of the bracelet.

The Qiqian Academy mentioned by Li Zhao just now is a teaching academy for the poor and common people, and has never had much contact with officials and eunuchs like Qirui Academy.

The Dawen Dynasty had a clear class consciousness, and even the most "enlightened" such as Guozixue also maintained this concept, otherwise the two groups of people would not be completely separated and taught.

The student was thin and weak, and he didn't dare to make a sound when he was thrown by Li Zhao, but his waist was bent even lower.

Wei Angyuan said impatiently: "Are you dumb? If you don't speak again, I'll have someone cut off your tongue and feed it to the dogs."

The student was terrified, his legs went limp, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, shaking like chaff.

Li Zhao was very happy to see this man's mouth tight like a clam. He took out a two-finger-long pocket dagger with a gold sheath with a beast pattern from his sleeve, and sneered: "I think Ang Yuan's idea is very good, his tongue is useless. It's very, it's just right to cut it off."

Ye Mian couldn't stand it anymore, and pushed Li Zhao, "Why are you scaring him with this?"

Li Zhao glared at him: "This bitch offended you, I'm here to teach him a lesson for you."

"Forget it, he is a classmate of Guozixue," Ye Mian pulled Li Zhao and whispered, "If he goes to Xingsi Pavilion to file a complaint, it will be troublesome."

"Dare he?" Li Zhao's neck twitched.

"He wouldn't dare to borrow his courage!" Ruan Yunsheng said coldly: "This man must be burning a funeral ceremony for the Yin people. He dares to learn sacrifices in Guozi. I think he wants to go home."

The student kneeling on the ground suddenly raised his head, his face was like gold paper, and finally begged for mercy: "Gentlemen, please forgive me!"

"Hey, I'm so cold!" Ye Mian stomped his feet and complained, "He doesn't talk too much, why are we so late with this man, why don't we go quickly?"

Li Zhao: "We are venting our anger on you!"

Wei Angyuan glanced at Ye Mian sideways, and said coldly, "Why are you pretending to be a saint every time?"

Ye Mian was aroused by Wei Angyuan's choking, and got a little angry, and said impatiently: "I'm happy!" After speaking, he stepped forward and pulled the student up.

Ye Mian held the man's hand, feeling like he was holding a piece of ice, looked carefully, and saw that he was wearing a dark blue jacket, not even a cloak and cloak, Ye Mian thought in his heart Sighing, he took out the small hand stove hidden in his sleeve and stuffed it into the man's hand.

"You take it, we'll be leaving in a while, you clean up here, don't talk too much when you go back, and pretend this thing never happened today."

After Ye Mian finished speaking, he saw Li Zhao pointing at him speechlessly, and shouted at Wei Angyuan, "Has Ye Si really become a saint?"

"Shut up!" Ye Mian said angrily, "You caused trouble years ago, and when I went to Xingsi Pavilion to punish you, why didn't I see you say that I was a saint?"

"I..." Li Zhao was so choked that he shut up resentfully, and only muttered in a low voice: "Well, it's my fault."

Ye Mian would not ask his friends to change their deep-rooted class concepts in the Dawen Dynasty just because he received the civilized education of "everyone is equal" in his previous life, but he is trying to integrate into them and make himself less "out of place". At the same time, he didn't like them to judge his way of doing things.

Ruan Yunsheng saw that Ye Mian's face was a little ugly, so he coughed and stepped forward to resolve it: "Okay, okay, let's go, it's too late to delay for so long."

Wei Angyuan gave Ye Mian a blank look: "Aren't you going to leave? Why are you still staring at that untouchable?" After speaking, he took Ye Mian's hand.

Ye Mian was staggered by him, and said angrily, "Wei Angyuan, you are leading the dog..."

A few people walked a little farther, and the student raised his head, shook his body and looked at their backs, and could vaguely hear their voices.

"Unfortunate enough."

"It's bad luck, I met such a thing halfway."

"A gentleman never speaks behind his back."

"Ye Si!! Are you enough?"

"Ye Si?" His lips, which were a little bit blue from the cold, moved slightly, and he muttered.
