school days in ancient times

On the way Zhuang Jue sent Ye Mian back to Shi Lang's mansion, Ye Mian asked the driver to stop in the street market for a while, and he hurried down to buy a few exquisite "Mahula" while some shops were not closed. " and two big packages of "Smile".

This mahula is a colorful figure pinched out of mud glaze, inlaid with some pearls and emeralds, wrapped in a red gauze and green cage, it is really cute, every year on the Qixi market, it is the most popular among girls, and the smile is sweet The honey fruit wrapped in oil noodles belongs to the "chocolate" of Qixi Festival in this era, and both men and women in love will buy some for a sweet future.

Zhuang Jue looked at the objects in his arms curiously, and Ye Mian gave him an annoyed look.

After returning to the mansion, Ye Mian gave these things to Feng Jin and asked him to find someone to guard in front of the Bihua Pavilion gate. If the young master came back, he would give these things to him.

After Ye Mian returned to Baofeng Courtyard, he talked to the maids about how lively it was outside, and then took a bath and changed clothes early to rest.

The next day was Qiu's birthday. Although Ye Mian regretted that he didn't win the fifth prince's green pearl to present to Qiu's birthday, he almost emptied his money box a few days ago and gave it to Qiu's last birthday in the capital. The fashionable jeweler bought a pair of the best pearls.

Early in the morning, Mrs. Qiu, wearing new clothes, was smiling from ear to ear in the main courtyard. The servants and concubines on one side also covered their mouths with their handkerchiefs to laugh, not for anything else, but the courtyard is full of rooms. At some point, someone secretly put Qiu's favorite aster flower on it. Looking at it, pieces of purple sea, even the porcelain plate on the Ruyi table that usually held melons and fruits, were replaced by aster flowers. The flower basket, with morning dew on the petals, is very fresh and beautiful.

Jiang Nanchu followed Ye Jing all the way into the courtyard, and said "Yeah" softly, looking at him in amazement.

Qiu pulled her to sit beside her, and said with a smile on her eyes, "Who else could it be? It must be that naughty guy from Baofengyuan."

The big maid next to the Qiu family pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Fourth young master has a heart, but the torment in the middle of the night will make us suffer. When someone comes later, madam, please don't stop us from begging for money with the fourth young master."

The maids and women who have been busy in the middle of the night until now have joined in the fun and begged for rewards. Qiu was amused again, and waved his hand very generously to ask the nanny to open her money box and replace it with a basket of copper coins. Go grab it.

Jiang Nanchu looked around enviously, and then saw Ye Jing who was sitting under Qiu's hands, and gave him a sad look.

Mrs. Qiu laughed, grabbed her daughter-in-law's hand and said with a grin: "The men of the Ye family, our mother and I should hope less. Except for me, Mianer, there is no one who is heart-warming."

After Qiu finished speaking, she opened a black silk wooden box, and inside were about twenty gold hairpins, thick and thin.

"Every year on my birthday, your father gave me a hairpin, and now there are so many of them in it." Qiu's fingers poked around in the box twice, found two and showed them to Jiang Nanchu, "Look, these two The patterns on the top are still heavy."

After Qiu finished speaking, she let out a long sigh, and Jiang Nanchu pursed her lips and smiled lightly, holding her mother-in-law's arm and coquettishly, "Yesterday, at least the young master gave me some Mohula, which is a little better than before."

Qiu Shi said "Yo", looked at Ye Jing who was sipping tea with downcast eyes, and said cheerfully, "This is really not easy."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking affectionately, when Ye Shilang came out from the inner room, Jiang quickly stood up and greeted his father with Ye Jing, and all the servants and concubines in the room also bowed down.

Ye Shilang wrinkled his nose and sniffed the fragrance of flowers all over the room, frowned and said: "This bastard dares to make a fuss in the main courtyard, you are all used to it."

Qiu rolled her eyes, "I'm the one who made trouble with my son, if you find it annoying, hurry up and get out of the house."

Ye Shilang snorted and said, "He's not just making trouble with you, last night, he even asked his servants to take the clay figurine to Bihua Pavilion to find his brother. Brother Jing is too busy with business every day, How can I have the time to play these things with him?"

As soon as Ye Shilang's words fell to the ground, Jiang Nanchu, who was beside Qiu, opened his eyes slightly and was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ye Jing expressionlessly.

Ye Jing sighed, and gently rubbed her forehead with one hand.

Qiu Shi wished he could be kicked out by Ye Shilang immediately, this dead old man is really getting more and more annoying!

The room was frozen, when the little girl standing outside suddenly called out to the room: "The fourth young master is here!"

Qiu's eyes lit up, and after a while, Ye Mian, dressed in brocade, ran in with a carved wooden box in his hand, smiling all over his eyes.

"Mother~"

Ye Mian ran in, first kowtowed to Mrs. Qiu in a proper manner, and said a bunch of birthday wishes wrapped in honey, then got up and presented the brocade box in his hand to Mrs. Qiu with both hands.

"Mom, let's see if you like it or not?"

Qiu smiled until there were two more fine lines on the corners of his eyes. He opened the box with joy, and then his eyes lit up, but he raised his head and said angrily: "It's not cheap, you child..."

The set of pearls in the brocade box is not ordinary at first glance, this child must have lost all the private money accumulated over the years!

Ye Mian inserted the pearl hairpin in the box onto Qiu Shi's bun with his own hands, adjusted the position carefully, and handed the pearl earrings to his sister-in-law, Jiang Nanchu smiled and changed the earrings for Qiu Shi.

"Mother likes it, as long as I don't have money, I can ask Daddy for it."

Ye Shilang let out a "ha" from the side, "You have a good plan! Take my money to curry favor with your mother!"

Then he said sourly: "I didn't see my birthday last month, you and I sent two tea leaves."

Qiu Shi said angrily at the side: "What are you doing seriously with the child, how much money can he have to buy you a birthday gift?"

Ye Shilang sipped his tea angrily and stopped talking.

Ye Mian covered Qiu's hair with pearls and tinsel flowers, took another two steps back and looked at her eyes carefully, and then said with a smile: "Mother, you are so beautiful!"

The concubines and servants around Qiu all laughed out loud, and echoed with each other.

Ms. Qiu covered her mouth and said with pride on her face, "Mother is not good-looking, how could you raise such handsome sons as you and your elder brother?" After finishing speaking, Ms. Qiu pulled Ye Mian over and straightened his robe Putting the jade sash sachet on it, he said with a loving face: "Okay, go to school quickly, don't stay here for too long, and see the teacher punish you."

Ye Mian obediently agreed, but instead of rushing out the door, she turned around and walked up to Shi Lang Ye, and stretched out her hand, "Father, I'm out of money! I'm going to have a drink with my classmates tonight."

Jiang Nanchu was taken aback for a moment, and quickly turned his head to tell the maid behind him, but Ye Jing touched her and shook her head to stop her.

Ye Shilang was so angry that he blew out his beard, stretched out his hand and slapped Ye Mian's palm hard, and said angrily, "Who are you? You even reached out to ask me for money!"

Ye Mian let out a "hiss", raised his chin and said confidently: "I am the son you can beat with your hand, and you are the father I can beg for money with my hand!"

All the servants in the room lowered their heads and held back their smiles. Even Mrs. Jiang turned her head away, Mrs. Qiu coughed and urged: "It's just some taels of silver, give it to him quickly, and send him to school."

Ye Shilang didn't want to entangle him at this time and delay his schooling, so he just pointed at him bitterly, and then untied the money bag, Ye Mian looked inside together with his head, and then groaned: "Who wants your money bag?" Scattered silver? Quickly give me the few silver bills inside."

Ye Shilang slapped his outstretched paw again, "Why are you in a hurry! I haven't seen how much money it is yet!"

"Mother!" Ye Mian turned to call Qiu Shi.

"How much silver can be contained in your purse, so what if you give it to him?" Qiu said angrily.

"Give it up!" Ye Shilang was so impatient that he didn't even want his money bags, and stuffed them all to Ye Mian, "Go to school! Don't be angry with me in front of me!"

When Ye Mian got the money, he didn't care about Ye Shilang's bad attitude, so he gave Ye Shilang a sweet smile, grabbed the money bag and ran to school.

On the carriage, Ye Mian unfolded a few banknotes and looked at the denominations on them, hehe hey, and said to Feng Jin: "Your brother is quite ruthless, pretending to be so old."

On weekdays, the money bags carried by Ye Shilang are sorted out by Feng Jin's brother Motto. Ye Mian's money box is empty, and after thinking about asking his father for money today, he asked Feng Jin to inform his brother in private. , Put some more silver taels in the purse.

Feng Jin giggled and said: "My brother said, Si Yiniang wiped away tears these days and coaxed a lot of money from the master. If we don't do anything, we will all go there."

Ye Mian raised her eyebrows, now that the big house has already decided on Ye Qiao as the adoptive, Fourth Aunt is going around with Qiu's Fu Xiao, and Ye Shilang taking Qiao, both of which are circling around to please.

After lunch at Guozixue, Ye Mian and the others lay lazily on the grass by the lake. Now that autumn has begun, although there are autumn tigers, the sun is not so strong after all.

Wei Angyuan sat idly under a crooked willow tree, Ye Mian leaned on his lap, drowsy, picked up a stone, and threw it at Li Zhao who was lying far away from him with his back to him.

Li Zhao didn't move.

Ye Mian pouted and raised his head to look at Wei Angyuan, Wei Angyuan looked down at him and smiled: "He won't talk to you anymore."

Ye Mian rubbed his nose, Li Zhao's young love affair was taken by him last night with King Rongnan County, and he was so sad that he said that he had insomnia for most of the night, and remembered that he had promised him to pick it up. Giving him the aster flowers in his own garden, he got up and personally took the servants to pluck up all the gardens in the mansion, and then sent the servants to send the flowers to the Shilang's mansion.

Before noon today was old man Xue's Chinese class. Li Zhao, who hadn't slept all night, couldn't bear to doze off, and fell asleep on the desk. Articles in children's classes.

Now he is angry, saying that he will never talk to Ye Mian again.

Ye Mian sniffed and crawled to Li Zhao's side. Before he could grin, Li Zhao turned over expressionlessly and turned his butt towards him.

Wei Angyuan, Ruan Yunsheng and the others were all holding back their laughter, watching the show.

Ye Mian had no choice but to turn over him again and go around in front of Li Zhao, but was pushed by Li Zhao irritably.

"you are annoying?"

Ye Mian was staggered by his push, and he didn't dare to show his teeth at all, he just cautiously said: "Then I will think of a way, pass a message to that young lady, let her know your benefits, maybe she will change her mind .”

"Who cares?" Li Zhao sat up angrily, and said angrily, "She already has King Rongnan in her heart, what do I want her to do?"

Ye Mian was shocked, and said strangely: "Didn't you say that the lady is your obsession?"

"So what?!" Li Zhao roared.

Ye Mian scratched her head, and muttered: "Then your obsession may be too thin..." The lady just didn't like you at first sight, so you don't want anyone, and you are too weak. Straight men have some cancer...

"What's so strange about this?" Li Zhao snorted angrily, "My future wife will naturally only have me in her eyes. If she has other people in her heart, then what's the matter?"

Ye Mian rolled his eyes and slandered in his heart, what could it be?It’s okay if you are a young man who is in love with you, but if you can’t, the girl is Huaichun, and the “virgin” plot of your big man is a bit unreasonable!

Although Li Zhao is his good buddy, Ye Mian has to say that with him like this, in his previous life, the girls would blow his head off.

Ye Mian didn't want to get too entangled with him on this issue, so after thinking about it, he asked him, "Then let me help you copy the article from the head office? Don't really ignore me!"

Li Zhao scoffed disdainfully: "Just copy your handwriting for me, can old man Xue not see it?"

Ye Mian felt a pain in his heart when he choked, and argued: "My handwriting is getting better! Can you stop mentioning this all the time?"

Wei Angyuan, Ruan Yunsheng and Wen Xun saw that they were arguing, they quickly suppressed their smiles and surrounded them.

Ye Mian was not very happy after shouting, Wei Angyuan put one arm around his neck and shook it, Ye Mian let out a breath and muttered: "I didn't say that I copied it for you myself, I knew someone a few days ago, and I copied it. His handwriting is very powerful, I will go find him."

"Who is it?" Ruan Yunsheng asked curiously.

Ye Mian thought about it for a while, and his ears fluttered, but he forgot what his name was, but he only remembered that it was from Qiqian Yuaner, who seemed to be called Yulai?
