school days in ancient times

Ye Mian originally thought that Zhuang Jue wanted to teach him calligraphy only to embarrass Concubine Jia, but how could he take it so seriously.

What didn't make him think is that this guy is usually extremely arrogant, doesn't treat people seriously at all, and is impatient when talking to people, but now he is a teacher, but he has a decent appearance and is very patient.

Seeing that he was serious, Ye Mian unknowingly put away her prevarication.

What made him feel rare was that when Zhuang Jue saw him, he didn't make any sarcasm in his writing. Instead, he encouraged him to write a few more, carefully watched his posture of wrist movement and pen pushing, and then analyzed and corrected them one by one.

Ye Mian secretly heaved a sigh of relief. The two calligraphers Ye Shilang had invited before and after saw that he was not as good at writing at such an age as a child who had just started a year or two, so they bluntly said that he had no understanding in this way. As soon as he saw him writing, he resigned face to face with Ye Shilang, saying that he could not teach such a student.The classmates also often teased him about this matter. Although there was no malice, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface, and he only laughed with them once a time.

Zhuang Jue wrote several fonts of the same word on the paper again, and asked him to read it separately. Ye Mian swallowed looking at the few words on the paper that were very complicated for him. Zhuang Jue saw that he was late. I was too late to write, so I glanced at him and encouraged, "It's okay, I just want to see which one is suitable for you in the future, no matter whether it is good or bad, I will judge for myself, just write it."

After Ye Mian heard this, he came down one by one. Zhuang Jue picked up the Chengxin paper and looked at it for a while, then hummed softly: "It's really brothers, I'm afraid it will be better to write this thin gold body in the future, but Mr. Duanhua's skinny golden sky-bone crane body is already at its peak, if you want to catch up with him, it's not like waiting for mere mortals."

"I caught up with my brother's calligraphy?" Ye Mian almost bit his tongue when he heard it, and said, "You think too highly of me..."

Zhuang Jue looked at the piece of paper without raising his eyes, and just said lightly: "There is nothing I can't do that I want to do."

Ye Mian straightened up and stretched, "I'm quite scared when you say that, if I become the only stain in your flawless life, you won't just kill me to silence you."

"You can't trust me that much?" Zhuang Jue raised his eyes and asked.

"It's not that I can't trust you, I'm..." Ye Mian thought for a while before saying, "I know myself."

"Don't take yourself lightly." Zhuang Jue said.

"Why are you so light?" Ye Mian said cheerfully as he waved his hands, "I have lived under my brother's hands all these years because of my self-confidence."

Zhuang Jue stared at him for a long time, drank tea with downcast eyes, and didn't speak.

The two rested for a while and drank a cup of tea. Ye Mian picked up the pen and began to write seriously on the paper. Zhuang Jue looked around the desk and went behind him, and took his hand holding the pen from behind.

Ye Mian, who was not on guard, was shocked.

"Don't move!" Zhuang Jue said sullenly, "You relax, follow my hand, and feel the strength of the transfer."

Zhuang Jue's fingers were cool and moist, and the clear and cold fragrance on his body overwhelmed the incense aroma from the Boshan furnace and lingered in his nostrils. Ye Mian took a sniff, concentrated his mind, relaxed his body as he said, and followed him with his hands. Moving on the paper, carefully feeling the strength in his hand.

The two wrote like this for a while, until the bell rang outside the window, and Ye Mian ran back to Qirui Academy to go to class.

Standing aside, Zhuang Ran handed over the teacup, Zhuang Jue took a sip, and asked Xia Neijian, "What's wrong with the prince?"

Xia Neijian replied: "The Princess Mansion in the capital city has been repaired a few days ago, and the prince has been sending people to bring those things in these two days, such as brocade tents and quilts, screens and incense burners, and even the veils pasted on the windows. Here comes the box."

Zhuang Jue sneered when he heard this, "This is forcing me to live in tomorrow."

Xia Neijian hurriedly slapped Zhuang Jue twice, and sighed: "It seems that we won't be able to hide here for a few days at Guozixue."

Zhuang Jue was silent for a while, but said: "No matter what he wants, everything is according to his wishes, that's okay."

"Hey!" Xia Neijian hurriedly responded: "Then I will tell the outside that there are still details in the Princess Mansion that have not been properly arranged. I am afraid that you will be wronged, so I will stay in Guozixue temporarily."

Zhuang Jue nodded lightly, "Let's say it again, just say that I am now under the order of the emperor's uncle to teach the calligraphy of Mr. Duanhua's younger brothers every day, but I am very busy, so that they don't have to come to the Princess Mansion if they have any troubles. Go find Ye Jing."

Ye Mian came back to the mansion after school, and was hurriedly taken to Shouyun Zhai by an old woman who was waiting beside the Qiu family at the second gate.

Ye Mian asked her as he walked quickly: "Didn't it mean that we will arrive tomorrow?"

The old mother gasped heavily, and replied: "That's what the letter said, the old lady was also asking about it just now, but it's been smooth sailing for the past two days, and the boat has to be rushed. Fortunately, the master sent some boys These days I have been waiting on the ferry, afraid that I will not be able to meet people.”

Ye Mian nodded after hearing this, and hurried to Shouyun Zhai.

Ye Mian's uncle took office in Wuzhou Prefecture, and now that his term of office has expired, he has returned to Beijing to report on his work. A letter came early. Ye Mian's grandmother started counting the days on her fingers in the first two months. Now it can be regarded as giving this house to Pan came back.

When Ye Mian walked to the entrance of Shouyun Zhai, he saw Ye Jing who was rushing over from Bihua Pavilion, and saw that he was wearing a robe that had just changed, and there was still a trace of moisture in his hair, so he couldn't help but be surprised.

Ye Jing explained lightly: "I just came from Xingju, a heavy prison, and my clothes are dirty, so it's inconvenient to see guests."

Ye Mian shrank his neck.

Seeing the two brothers entered the yard together, the maids of Shouyunzhai rushed to open the curtain and reported inside one after another.

"Eldest Young Master and Fourth Young Master are here!"

Ye Jing and Ye Mian entered the room, the room was quiet for a moment and then became lively again, a woman in a gorgeous dress full of jewels and emeralds sitting next to the old lady stood up and walked forward two steps with joy, Ye Jing Jiang Nanchu and Jiang Nanchu hurried forward to help him back.

"Auntie, sit down quickly."

The old lady sat on the carved flat couch in the middle with a hearty smile and said: "Come here quickly, these two juniors are still worthy of your reception, so sit down quickly and let these two greet you."

Mrs. He's face was full of love, and she didn't seem to be lying, and said: "When the two brothers came in, I couldn't help it." After speaking, he turned to look at Mrs. Qiu and smiled, "I don't know why my younger siblings are so good at giving birth, even It looks like the two of them look like they came out of a painting."

All the people in the room laughed, including the maidservant who served on the ground. Qiu Shi covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed happily, but she couldn't hide the smug look on her face.

Ye Jing and Ye Mian took a step forward. The two brothers were both wearing brocade robes and jade hairpins. They bowed to the middle-aged man sitting on one side of the grand teacher's chair, with an elegant and calm demeanor. The man smiled. Stretching out their hands for help, they said repeatedly: "Get up quickly." After the two brothers got up, they bowed deeply to Mrs. He who was sitting next to the old lady.

He looked at the two brothers who were like two jades, and seemed to like something, so he quickly reached out to help him, and then pulled Ye Mian to his side, holding his hand and looking at him, and asked him with a smile: "Brother Mian, what happened?" It ended up so well, but still remember the eldest aunt?"

Ye Mian looked at him and nodded, "Remember Auntie."

The smile on He's face got bigger, and the old lady on the side smiled and said, "The last time you followed me was six years ago, and he was seven years old at that time, so I can remember."

Mrs. He turned around and glanced at the mammy who was standing beside her. She smiled and handed over a brocade box carved in wood. Mrs. He handed the brocade box to Ye Mian, patted his hand, and said lovingly, "Good boy!" , all the things I brought for you have been carried to your yard, and they were given to you by your aunt alone, so you put them away."

The elder did not dare to say goodbye, so Ye Mian hurriedly bowed to thank him.

During the family banquet, Mrs. He still brought Ye Mian by her side, she really liked it, and kept feeding him, coaxing him to talk.

Whether a person is sincere or not can be felt, so Ye Mian really likes this rich, loving and amiable eldest aunt, the two of them chatting and laughing in a low voice, it is very pleasant to have a meal.

Usually with his brother around, Ye Mian would be unconsciously ignored by his family members, so he was very useful tonight, when he asked the elders to resign and return to Baofengyuan, he felt a little reluctant to part with his aunt.

The old lady watched the two farewell, laughed loudly, and said: "I didn't expect you two to hit it off."

In the evening, Ye Mian had just bathed and changed his clothes in Baofeng Courtyard. Bao Nian ran in from outside the house and whispered: "I heard from the little girl that the lady and the master in the courtyard are having a quarrel again. This time it's very noisy. fierce."

Ye Mian was taken aback, and asked, "Why? My father is going to take a concubine again?"

Bao Nian shook his head, "I drove everyone out of the yard and stood there. A few old nuns beside Madam are watching, and no one can go to inquire."

Ye Mian frowned, the elders quarreled, it's not easy for them to come forward as juniors, so he couldn't inquire about it, so he had no choice but to wait until tomorrow night after school to go to his mother's place to say hello and ask his father How dare you bully his mother again.

In the main room of Ye Mansion, Mrs. Qiu smashed a set of blue and white fine porcelain cups on the table, pointed at Ye Shilang's nose with trembling fingers and cursed: "Ye Heng, if you dare to give them my Mianer, I will kill you!" I fought my old life with your family!"

Ye Shilang stood aside and sighed, and went to help his old wife's sleeve, but was thrown out by Qiu Shi.

Ye Shilang sighed: "Hey! Don't listen to the wind and the rain. Big brother just mentioned it tonight. It's not a sure thing. What are you doing so loudly?"

Qiu Shi spat on his face with a "bah", and cursed: "He has the face to mention it! Can't you think that Brother Mian is born of those sluts in your backyard? Tomorrow, I will ask my sister-in-law, how can they tell me?" How big a face is Fang? Heir to his brother's family, there are so many concubines they don't mention, but they mention other people's sons! Such a person, it seems that they have not accumulated virtue in the previous life, and they deserve to be cut off..."

"Shut up!" Seeing that Qiu's words became more and more outrageous, looking like a madman, Ye Shilang snapped, "What nonsense!"

Qiu's face was full of tears, and she couldn't breathe well. She saw a nanny running in, looking very anxious, and whispered to Qiu, "The eldest lady is crying with the old lady... .”

Qiu stood up suddenly, wiped her face and shouted: "She still has the face to cry? Let's go! Let's go too, I want to see how their Ye family will bully me! If an old lady feels sorry for that room today , I will take our brother Mian back to the Qiu Mansion tomorrow, and pretend that our Qiu family is empty!"

Ye Shilang stopped Qiu Shi who was hurriedly leaving with a sad face, and sighed: "It's fine for you to make trouble in our yard, but what can you do over there! Besides, I didn't agree with Brother Mian, who Can you snatch him away?"
