school days in ancient times

In the evening at You hour, the Guozixue bell chimes three times.

Jixian Gate opened in response.

Accompanied by the creaking sound, the boys and servants waiting outside the main entrance stretched their necks and looked inside, looking for the figure of their little master.

After a while, students came out of the gate in groups, chatting and laughing. For a while, the square in front of Guozixue was as lively as a market, classmates said goodbye, horses neighed, and coachmen from various prefectures cracked their whips. ring.

Ye Mian came out a bit late today, he had archery class in the afternoon, the school practice range was outside, Ye Mian had the cheek to urinate four times, and the cold wind was still blowing outside for almost two hours. It's frozen solid.

As soon as the school bell rang, Wei Angyuan and Li Zhaoxian took him back to Qirui Academy, roasted in the school room for a while before going out.

The three of them talked as they walked out.

Li Zhao: "It's going to take a while to get warmer, or you don't have to take the two shooting classes. I'll go back and let my father talk to Teacher Yang."

"Okay!" Ye Mian hurriedly stopped: "Let my father know about it, maybe it will hurt me, and if he catches up with him, the old man is not going well, and he can still beat him!"

"Your father is really..." Wei Angyuan curled his lips when he heard it, but he was an elder after all, so he didn't dare to say the whole thing.

"He doesn't like me right now," Ye Mian said nonchalantly, "Besides, if I can skip the archery class, can I still skip the imperial class? Anyway, it's only been two months, I won't freeze to death."

The teaching content of Guozixue in the Dawen Dynasty is very rich, including rites, music, archery, censorship, calligraphy, and mathematics. It is completely different from the exam-oriented education in his previous life. In addition to cultural courses, they have to learn aristocratic etiquette, music theory, etc. Dance rhyme, archery, horseback riding, etc., and even I Ching gossip and sex education.

Li Zhao sighed helplessly, "Before your elder brother comes back from his business in Yangzhou, don't mess with him, if you can't do it, just hide."

Ye Mian nodded his head helplessly, if he can't be provoked, he has to hide.

Before leaving Jixian Gate, Ye Mian saw Feng Jin, his family, grinning and waving at him outside the gate, and the servants of Wei Angyuan and Li Zhao's family were standing beside him.Now people are also interesting. After a long time with each other, they naturally know who the little master usually makes good friends with, and they consciously form a group with clear boundaries.

There were not many people in the square, the carriages of the three families rushed directly to the main entrance of Jixian Gate, Ye Mian didn't greet them politely, said "See you tomorrow" and jumped into the carriage.

After returning to Yefu, Ye Mian did not go back to Baofeng Courtyard, but went directly to his grandmother's Shouyunzhai, where he was going to have dinner tonight.

The old lady of the Ye Mansion is sincere in worshiping Buddhism and is a vegetarian every day, so she does not let her children and grandchildren eat with her on weekdays, but Ye Shilang loves the old lady and is afraid that she will be lonely, so he will bring his wife and children with him all day every month They had a vegetarian meal with her, and later this became an unwritten rule in Ye Mansion.

The little girls at the gate of Shouyun Zhai competed to lift the curtain for Ye Mian. His mother and his sister-in-law had already arrived and were talking with his grandmother in the inner room. .

"The fourth young master is here."

Seeing Ye Mian coming in, the maids and women saluted with blessings and smiles on their faces.

A beautiful maid wearing a silver-red jacket and a lotus-colored sash came out from the inner room with a smile on her face, helping Ye Mian take off her cloak very neatly.

"Sister Yun'er, you will take off the crown on my head in a while. After wearing it for a whole day, my scalp hurts," said Ye Mian and Yun'er, the most favored maid by his grandmother's side.

"Yes," Yun'er replied with a smile, "Fourth young master first go inside to warm up, I'll let someone take the grate."

"Brother Mian, come quickly, come to grandma," Mrs. Ye's voice came from inside.

Ye Mian also took off the spatula vine wooden bracelet and stuffed it to Yun'er, then went into the inner room, and greeted the whole house of children and family well.

Mrs. Ye waved at Ye Mian with a smile on her face, and Ye Mian walked over and squeezed her buttocks on the carved ebony board where his grandmother was sitting, with her arms around the old man's waist and her face on her shoulders .

The appearance of the grandfather and grandson is so intimate, Mrs. Ye's face has two more creases.

Ye Mian's mother Qiu's beautiful eyes stared at him, and she gave him a look: "The cold air on your body has not dissipated, and you are not afraid of passing your grandmother!"

"Okay, okay," Mrs. Ye interrupted Qiu Shi displeasedly, "The coldness is all on the big clothes outside, and Yun'er took off for him outside, how can I pass it on?"

Seeing that Mrs. Ye was upset, Mrs. Qiu quickly shut up and apologized.

Sitting on a high rose chair at the side was a young beauty in gorgeous clothes, Jinpa covered her mouth lightly, and changed the subject with a smile, "When Brother Mian arrived at Shouyunzhai, he ordered the proud person beside grandma, he My own maid never brings shouts, she really knows how to calculate."

Ye Mian made a funny face at his sister-in-law Jiang Shi, the maids covered their mouths and laughed, Mrs. Ye also laughed and said: "No, he is a treasure of his own people, afraid that they will be cold."

"Where?" Ye Mian quibbled, "I just think the people taught by my grandmother are better than those clumsy ones in my room."

"You can say it!" Mrs. Ye was happy to be praised by him. After a smile, she said to Mrs. Ye Qiu meaningfully: "Brother Mian likes people on my side. In two or three years, I will Teach two good-tempered people and put them in his room."

Qiu promised with a smile.

Ye Mian was taken aback, I want to kiss my grandma, how big is this body...

Just when he was embarrassed, Yun'er came back with a little girl holding combs, hair oil and other things, Mrs. Ye hurriedly urged him to comb his hair.

Ye Mian got up and went to the East Room, which was only separated by a bead curtain. There was a black lacquered concubine couch by the window, covered with a thick wolf fur mattress. After Ye Mian lay on it, the little servant girl knelt down to serve him. He took off his boots, and stuffed a small plum brocade neck pillow under his neck for him to rest on.

Yun'er took off the jade crown on his head, instead of combing his hair directly, she gently massaged his scalp. Ye Mian sighed comfortably, blowing the cold wind on the shooting range all afternoon, her head was Some dull pain.

"Sister Yun'er, how about I bring you Huang Ji's jujube cake when I come back from school tomorrow?"

"That's kind!" Yun'er agreed with a smile, "Let them order more bean paste."

"to make."

"Fourth young master is really eccentric!" The little girl who was wrapping the jade crown with a handkerchief curled her lips unhappily, "We are not good at serving?"

"You have it too," Ye Mian said soothingly with his eyes closed, "Cai'er likes to eat candied chestnuts. Tomorrow, I'll ask Feng Jin to buy a big bag."

"Thank you, Fourth Young Master, for the reward." Cai'er, the little maid, became happy at this moment.

Yun'er shook her head and smiled without saying a word. If you want to say that the rules of this Ye Mansion are the most strict in their Shouyunzhai, even Cai'er, an 11-year-old girl, is very strict in her speech and actions, but she just likes to be in front of the fourth young master. She was so coquettish and fussy, I can only blame this master for being so caring, always talking to them in a gentle and gentle manner, and even remembering clearly what they like to eat and play on weekdays, and from time to time from outside the mansion Bringing these things back to them, these little girls are always talking behind their backs, wondering if the fourth young master will come today?

Ye Mian was often disgusted by Ye Shilang because of this incident. His father thought that Ye Mian loved to work on women since he was young.In fact, Ye Shilang has wronged Ye Mian. No matter how shitty Ye Mian is, it is impossible for Ye Mian to have any animal thoughts about underage girls. He just wants to treat them better. In this world, women's life is much more difficult than men. One also asked her to be a maid who was born to serve others, and felt that they were pitiful.

After finishing his head, Yun'er pushed his hair back behind his ears, and tied a red brocade forehead belt on his forehead to fix it, with a white pearl on it just in between the eyebrows. On the face, Ye Mian's already handsome and romantic face is set off, and Ye Mian's flamboyant face is even more beautiful.

As soon as the hair was combed here, a maid came in and told them that the master was coming, Cai'er hurriedly put on the boots that were baked on the smoker cage for Ye Mian to put on again.
