school days in ancient times

Ye Mian was exposed by Zhuang Jue face to face, feeling a little embarrassed in his heart, but it didn't show on his face, he just pretended to ask casually: "Then when we had no grievances or enmities, why did you always look down on me and keep talking about me?" Against me?"

"I haven't seen you like this with others," Ye Mian said, curling her lips. "The first time we met, the nose was not the nose and the eyes were not eyes. Except for my father, I have never seen anyone who is so disgusted with me."

Zhuang Jue looked at him for a while before slowly saying: "I heard about you before I saw you, it was winter, and every day after school, I could see the snowman in the yard covered with the candied haws you gave Lu Lizheng. Zhuang Jue paused at this point, "I only think that you are the same as my younger brother. Because of jealousy, I don't care about the flesh and blood, and I only want to get close to people outside."

Ye Mian opened his mouth, he didn't expect this, he thought about it and asked cautiously: "Your brother really poisoned you...wanted your life?"

Zhuang Jue lowered his eyes, with no expression on his face. He just nodded and said "Yes", and then wrote lightly: "The fifth prince did a good job of inquiring, and I was sent to the capital in a hurry because of this." Zhuang Jue raised his eyes and said: " During that period of time, I was in a fit of anger, so I vented my anger on you. At that time, I only thought you were more hateful. I clearly hated my eldest brother, but I took advantage of Mr. Duanhua's position to act recklessly in the school, like a little 'head snake' Domineering."

"But..." Zhuang Jue licked his lips when he said this, "When I saw you for the first time, I thought you were good-looking. At that time, I pushed the window and hit your nose, and you couldn't shed tears. , I wondered how could someone be so cute when they cried."

Ye Mian completely ignored the nonsense behind him, and only asked with wide-eyed eyes, "When will I use my brother's power to run amok?"

Zhuang Jue glanced at him sideways, "Whether it's misbehavior or not can be discussed later, but relying on Ye Jing's power, it is true. Could it be that you think that you are relying on the servant's mansion behind you, and those students who have been rectified by you I dare not take revenge, and Xingsi Pavilion will take you lightly?"

"I..." Ye Mian was momentarily at a loss for words.

Zhuang Jue smiled lightly, and said: "But this is nothing. Since you two brothers are in harmony, it should be. Ye Jing worked so hard in his official career, but it was just to keep his family under his wings and let you live together." Have to be a little more willful."

After Zhuang Jue finished speaking, he raised his eyes to look at him, and said, "I would also like to let you take advantage of me."

"No." Ye Mian flatly refused.

Zhuang Jue lowered his eyes, he knew that one day this person would settle with him because of these old things.

The two talked for a while, and the dinner over there was ready, and the two moved to the flower hall. Not only Ye Mian, Zhuang Jue was also starved tonight, since he was born, he didn't know what hunger was like, After running around with him all night like this, it feels fresh.

After they finished their meal, they sat there drinking hawthorn honey water to digest their food. Ye Mian put down his cup and said that it was getting late and he had to go back home.

Zhuang Jue frowned, his face was full of displeasure, and he asked, "Can't you stay tonight?"

Ye Mian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Do you really think that I will make an appointment with you after the Qixi Festival?" If so, it happens that his brother can't enter the Bihua Pavilion tonight, but he can come to the Princess Mansion to break their dog legs.

Zhuang Jue said unwillingly, "At this time of the year, my mother and father also avoid me. I had trouble with them when I was young, but my mother coaxed me and said that when I grow up, I will have someone I like. Spend the orchid night with me," Zhuang Jue raised his eyes and stared at Ye Mian, "From this point of view, it's all a lie."

Ye Mian rolled her eyes in her heart when she heard this, you and your mother are in the same way, when you see someone who looks like you, you just follow behind, without first asking if the person is happy, think about it when you came to the dealer or the son-in-law He was not very willing, otherwise he would not have dared to rely on the princess's "infatuated mind" to take Qiao, instead of coming to Beijing to be his son-in-law, he would have asked the princess to marry and go to Jinling instead.

Zhuang Jue was sullen for a while, but he didn't force him to stay, he just said to him: "I'll take you to see something, and I'll send you back home after reading it."

"what?"

Zhuang Jue got up, "You'll know when you go to see it. My mother told me about it. I haven't seen it before. Let's go and see it together."

Zhuang Jue was so mysterious, it aroused Ye Mian's curiosity.

The two of them were taken to a study room by an old slave of the Princess Mansion. After Zhuang Jue let people out, he counted the shelves and found an ebony wooden box painted with gold on all sides.

Inside the wooden box was a stack of yellow-brown leather paper. Ye Mian watched curiously as Zhuang Jue unfolded the leather paper and spread it on the table.

"Ah, it's Dawen Tutu," Ye Mian said with a look of surprise.

The size of the map is just to cover the Ruyi round table below, and the ink lines and water shapes and the fish-scale mountain shapes are clearly drawn on it. After careful identification, although they are more or less different, you can also see the ancient and modern maps of the Celestial Dynasty. The border shadow of a piece.

Zhuang Jue was taken aback for a moment when he recognized him at a glance, "You recognize him?"

Ye Mian let out an "oh" and said vaguely, "I saw it once in my elder brother's study, but I didn't draw it so carefully."

In Dawen, maps are not difficult to find, but most of them are rough maps of mountains and rivers for the convenience of water conservancy construction and river management, or market maps of small cities and towns. Such detailed maps of entire mountains and rivers are rare. Because of the limited conditions at this time, geographical surveying and mapping are very difficult, and because the border is very important for the offensive and defensive tactics of the garrison, so such a detailed map of the unified sea and land can only be found in the Dawen border except in the imperial study room in the palace. You can only see it at the commander-in-chief of the garrison.

Zhuang Jue heard Ye Mian said that he met Ye Jing at Ye Jing's place, although it was a little strange, but thinking about how much Ye Jing was favored by the saint, he was relieved.

Zhuang Jue said slowly: "My mother said that my father had promised her that after leaving the capital, he would take her all over Dawen's beautiful rivers and mountains, so she discussed this map with the emperor's grandfather, and they lived here for a while after their wedding. After a while, the happiest thing for her back then was looking at the map with her father every day in this study, and discussing with each other where to play first after leaving Beijing."

"However," Zhuang Jue sighed: "Since my mother returned to Jinling with my father, my father has devoted himself to the business of the family. Because of my mother's marriage, our farmer has become even more powerful in the salt and water transportation of the Lianghuai and Huaihe Rivers. This year is only busier than last year, so my father has never fulfilled his promise, and he never even took mother out of Jinling."

Ye Mian also sighed in his heart when he heard this, it's all just big pig's hooves.

Zhuang Jue smiled and said: "My mother ordered me to find this map in the Princess Mansion after I went to Beijing, and then set it on fire."

Ye Mian nodded her head to express her understanding, and said, "Your mother didn't set fire to the son-in-law's mansion, it's because she has love in her heart, a man who says he's busy is just an excuse to lie, and he's really so busy no matter where he is."

Zhuang Jue couldn't help laughing, "You actually said the same thing as my mother. When I comforted her like this, she also said the same thing to me." Zhuang Jue glanced at Ye Mian again, and said, "My mother will definitely be very upset when she sees you. like."

Ye Mian shrugged, and pointed to him on the map. There were many places on the map that were marked red by Danzhu. As soon as Ye Mian took a look, he found that most of them were places of scenic spots, which should be the places that the princess and the consort discussed. The place to go.

Ye Mian pointed to several red spots near Jinling, and said: "Look at the Yellow Crane Tower, Yu Boya Terrace, and Yishan Daishan, which are not very far from your Jinling, the carriages and horses are faster, but it only takes a few days. No matter how busy you are, it is impossible to not have such a few days of work.

After Ye Mian finished speaking, seeing that Zhuang Jue didn't answer, he looked up at him, only to see Zhuang Jue was looking at him probingly.

"What's wrong?" Ye Mian was stunned and asked strangely.

Zhuang Jue looked at him for a long time before seriously asking him: "This map is a white map copied by the emperor's grandfather, and there is no word on it. If it is just a mountain range, it will be fine. How do you distinguish between these two? The hooks are from the Yellow Crane Tower and Yu Boya Terrace?"

Ye Mian was stopped by his question, and he said after a while: "I often look for Yu Ji and various county and county pictures in the Library Pavilion in my school, so I can know the location by guessing the location. What's so difficult about it?"

Zhuang Jue couldn't help being taken aback when he heard what he said, then looked at him again, shook his head and chuckled, "I actually underestimated you."

Ye Mian looked down at the picture and didn't speak.

Seeing that he was watching carefully, Zhuang Jue asked him, "Do you want to visit these places? Shall I take you there?"

"No, I'm not interested." I don't know how many times my parents forced me to go to these places, Ye Mian pouted in my heart, I can be a tour guide and take your mother there.

After the two finished reading the picture, Zhuang Jue ordered his servants to fetch a brazier, and Ye Mian asked him strangely: "It's a hot day, why do you let people burn the brazier?"

"Burn the map," Zhuang Jue said seriously.

"She said to make you burn, so you really burned?" Ye Mian covered her eyes, then sighed helplessly: "Your mother has a son like you and a son-in-law like your father, it really has been eight lifetimes... .”

"how?"

Ye Mian folded the map in his hand neatly again, and sighed: "You send this map back to your father as soon as possible."

Zhuang Jue raised his eyebrows.

"I guess it's not enough to just 'remind' him." Ye Mian touched his chin, rolled his eyes, and said, "You threatened him! It just so happens that he has a reason to fall in Dali Temple these few days," Ye Mian hehe He said with a smirk: "In this way, he will be able to spare time to accompany your mother to visit rivers and mountains."

Ye Mian saw that Zhuang Jue was only looking at him in astonishment, sighed bitterly, and sneered, "What are you afraid of? What can he do to you if you are in the capital?"

Zhuang Jue looked at him after a long time and said, "I'm not afraid of my father, I'm afraid of you."

Ye Mian looked at him suspiciously.

"You are much better than my mother."
