school days in ancient times

Ye Jing took Ye Mian to Bihua Pavilion's study room, and after a few words of explanation, he turned around and went out. After a while, Jiang Nanchu personally came with a few servants.

"Oh, let me see, which family's little crying cat is here to beg for food in the middle of the night?" Jiang Nanchu teased with a chuckle, his eyes full of misery.

"Sister-in-law..." Ye Mian said helplessly.

The maidservants who came with the eldest young mistress all pursed their lips and held back their smiles. Jiang Nanchu made fun of him and stopped teasing him when he saw that he was ashamed.

A small bowl of walnut kernel japonica rice porridge, four steamed dumplings with thin-skinned shrimp meat, a small piece of candied jujube meat rice cake dessert, and a few light umami side dishes.

"It's getting late, use it less, it will save you from falling asleep for a while, but the stomach is not easy to restrain." Jiang Nanchu instructed softly.

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Ye Mian sniffed, thanked his sister-in-law with a smile, he had been arguing with himself for half a day, thinking wildly, and didn't eat anything at Zhuang Jue's place, but now he was really hungry.

After Jiang Nanchu coaxed him to finish eating, Ye Jing changed into homely clothes and came over.

The servants quickly put away the food on the table, and re-scented the room. Jiang Nanchu stood up, "You two brothers, have a good talk, but it's not too late," and looked at Ye Jingrou He said in a voice: "Leave a basin of ice water down, and you can put a veil on his eyes in a while, otherwise he will be teased by his classmates tomorrow, and he will get angry again."

Ye Jing nodded with a smile.

It was already the middle of the night when the two brothers had packed up, Ye Mian leaned on the large pine pillow on the bed with his head up, and his eyes were covered with brocade handkerchiefs soaked in ice water.

Seeing nothing in front of him, he grabbed Ye Jing's hand and played with his elder brother's fingers boredly.

"Brother, what do you want to say to me?"

Ye Jing hummed lightly, and then asked him directly: "Have you learned about the 'Yin and Yang intersection' in school?"

Ye Mian paused, opened his mouth, and said unnaturally after a long time: "...Why are you asking this?"

Ye Jing chuckled, "That means you've learned it, so that's good, it will save me some effort."

"...I don't need you to teach me," Ye Mian muttered softly.

"Well, counting your birthday, the first time was in the past six months?" Ye Jing asked lightly, "Have you ever blasphemed yourself?"

Ye Mian's scalp felt numb instantly, and his skin burned.

He is usually thick-skinned, and he would compare himself to each other when he pissed with his brothers, and they would talk about everything when they were wretched, but in his heart, facing the big brother he admired in his heart, he was absolutely It cannot be so.

Lifting the veil on his eyes, staring at Ye Jing with staring eyes, he murmured for a long time, and finally only choked out two words: "No."

"Huh?" Ye Jing raised the corner of her eyes and looked at Ye Mian Xiasanlu who was covered with a thin quilt, "But there is something wrong?"

Ye Mian: "???"

Ye Jing frowned and said to himself: "It's okay, there will be some later, and if there are no more in a few months, let me show you."

"Brother!!!" Ye Mian finally couldn't stand it anymore, scratching the mattress under him and collapsed, "What are you doing! Your brother is fine everywhere, and he's fine without you asking!"

Ye Jing was stunned for a moment, then smiled lightly and said, "You're still ashamed, what's the matter, I'm your brother, it's only right to ask, I've never seen you so thin-skinned."

"What are you talking about?" Ye Mian muttered softly, nestling his neck.

Ye Jing stretched out her hand and flicked his finger on his forehead, "You think I have the spare time to teach you now, because you are afraid that you will be too late and be deceived by others."

Ye Mian looked at him puzzled.

Ye Jing shook her head and said solemnly: "It's getting late, to make a long story short, since you know all this, I won't ask any more, I just ask you, since you know about men and women, how can you know about men's manners?"

Ye Mian was taken aback.

"Ok?"

Ye Mian nodded hastily, and said honestly: "I know, there is nothing I don't know about this. I am in Guozi Academy, and those people in the academy always talk about this in private."

Ye Jing nodded, and asked again: "Then do you know that King Rongnan is interested in you?"

Ye Mian reacted for a while, then stopped picking at the corner of the quilt with his fingers, slowly raised his head, and looked at Ye Jing with a ghostly look on his face, "Brother, where did you come from?"

Ye Jing looked at him and said lightly: "I've seen it a lot, so I naturally know."

Ye Mian: "..." Is the legendary gay Da?

"how?"

"...how old is he?"

Ye Jing glanced between his legs again, "You know everything now."

Ye Mian let out a "tsk", stretched out his hand enough to hug a soft pillow in front of him, and then argued, "It's not a matter of age, but that Zhuang Jue has always been against me. Root, these days are better, he is very surly, moody, maybe he will start to punish me again in a few days."

Ye Mian said with a smile at this point: "If this is his interest in others, then he is probably doomed to be alone all his life."

But Ye Jing waved his hand and said indifferently: "These are not important. Some stupid people have always been like this. You are young and haven't passed it. It is normal that you can't think of it. Big brother told you these things, but I don't want you How, just to remind you to be wary in your heart. At his age, he may not know what he is doing, and he has some power in his hands. How can you blame me for hurting you?"

Ye Jing pinned Ye Mian's hair behind his temples, looked at him and sighed: "Our good young master, there is no reason to let these fools take experience, you have to stay away. It's just that with his status, if he really wanted to pester you, it would be difficult for you to avoid it, but you have to be smarter, don't be stupid and send him to your door like today."

Ye Mian opened his almond eyes, and was taken aback for a while, what his brother said naturally made sense, but he really didn't believe that Zhuang Jue meant that to him.

This is so weird!

Seeing him like this, Ye Jing comforted him softly: "Don't be afraid, the southerly style of writing has always been popular, and this kind of thing will happen sooner or later, and you look better than others, and now you are young. If you don't come out, after another two years, your childish appearance will fade away, and there will be a lot of troubles. It's not all a bad thing to meet him so early. On the contrary, it's not a bad thing if you take him to practice for a while. When you grow up, you will be at a loss to meet those more painful ones."

Ye Jing talked to Ye Mian casually again, Ye Mian couldn't hold back, and asked his brother carefully, "Brother, there are many people outside... er... pestering you ?"

Ye Jing didn't evade, but just gave a faint "hmm".

"then you......"

Ye Jing smiled lightly, lowered her eyes and said lightly: "When I was about the same age as you, I also suffered a disadvantage. At that time, I only had the servant's mansion behind me. Dad couldn't help me too much, and it was inconvenient to talk to my father about some things. Later I passed the imperial examination and was favored and appreciated by the Holy Majesty, so I devoted myself to my official career. I had to handle several hidden cases in Dali Temple day and night for a year, and then I was gradually used by the Holy Majesty. Then I will deal with these people later. Easier."

Ye Mian frowned tightly, clenched his fist and slammed on the mattress, "Which one hurts you?"

Ye Jing chuckled, "It's been a long time, don't mention it," Ye Jing said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "Now those idiots dare!"

Ye Mian was still angry, pursed her thin lips, and clenched her fists tightly.

Seeing him like this, Ye Jing thought it was funny, but she also warmed her heart. She hugged his shoulders and said, "You are better than me at that time. With me, although I can't always protect you by your side, I can't help you." It can also shock you, and now I tell you this early, and save you from being ignorant about this matter, and being deceived by those who have enlightened early."

There were four knocks, one fast, three slow knocks outside, one of the brothers was going to Guozixue tomorrow, and the other was going to Dali Temple, Ye Jing saw that it was getting late, so he stopped talking to him, the future will be long, and we will meet tonight Ye Mian could listen to half of what he said, so he would be thankful.

Ye Jing's guess was right. Although Ye Mian admitted that what his brother said today made sense, he just didn't believe that Zhuang Jue meant so much to him, but he didn't consciously recall the strangeness of this man's attitude towards him. Before, he only thought it was He has a temperamental temperament, but now that he thinks about it, he is not right, why can't he be yin and yang with others.

Ye Mian turned over irritably, only thinking that when she sees him next time, she must ask clearly, they are both men, so don't be coy, just guessing.

At this time, in the courtyard of Rongnan County King, Zhuang Jue was not asleep either.

The hall was full of lights, as if it were dawn, and the servant kneeling on the ground, Zhuang Jue, sat expressionlessly at the table, holding a needle and thread in his hand, clumsily threading the red coral beads .

Xia Neijian, who was standing aside, saw blood dripping from the needle hole he had just pricked in his hand, and his eyes were red with distress. His little master grew up so big, but he had never suffered such a big grievance.
