school days in ancient times

When Ye Mian went out from Dongci Room, Ye Shilang had just finished meeting with Mrs. Ye and sat down on the Zen chair beside him. His sister-in-law Jiang got up and took the maids to make tea.

The room was gone, except for those who were busy on the ground, all the servants standing on the side were watching their noses, their noses and their hearts, and they stood neatly.

"Mian'er pays respects to father, and father is well." Ye Mian bowed to Ye Shilang.

"What are you like?"

The atmosphere in the room froze, and before Ye Mian got up, he heard his cheap father's displeased voice, and raised his head in puzzlement.

Ye Shilang is not yet forty this year, his skin is fair and well maintained, and he looks very energetic, but now he is looking at Ye Mian sullenly, with a very stern expression on his face.

Ye Shilang was even more annoyed when he saw his son-in-law's bewildered expression, and reprimanded him: "You took off the crown bracelet right after school, and your grandmother's clothes are disheveled and disheveled, do you have any rules?"

Ye Mian was disdainful, saying that his hair was disheveled and he admitted it, but where was his clothes disheveled?If you really don't like him, you can put any crime on him!

Ye Mian bit his lip and didn't make any excuses, but lowered his head slightly so that people couldn't see his expression.

Seeing Ye Mian hanging his head like an eggplant, Mrs. Ye was not happy, "I am his grandmother, so what if he is more loose with me?"

"Mother," Ye Shilang shook his head helplessly, "he's not just messing around with you..."

"Okay," Madam Ye interrupted Ye Shilang with a wave of her hand, "You just scolded him as soon as you returned home, so you can't let him have a meal in peace?"

Ye Shilang sighed heavily, and said: "Mother, you can't let him do anything anymore. Look at him, he has no rules at all now. Brother Jing was better than him when he was seven years old."

Mrs. Ye slammed the tea bowl down on the table with a "snap", "Oh, did my co-author Mian get spoiled by my old lady?"

Mrs. Qiu was taken aback, and hurriedly sat over to caress Mrs. Ye's back, and at the same time winked at Ye Shilang's neck.

Ye Heng hurriedly stood up: "Mother, that's not what my son meant."

Mrs. Ye's temper also came up, and she said: "Ye Shilang is so angry now, I don't dare to say anything, I will admit your mistake today," she said, tilting her head and said, "Yun'er, Get on your knees!"

Yun'er, who was waiting by the side, quickly knelt down, put her hands on the ground, and knocked her head on the ground.

"Mother, what are you doing?" Seeing that Mrs. Ye was really anxious, Ye Shilang said in a panic.

"Brother Mian, I asked Yun'er to remove this hair, and I also asked someone to wrap the bracelet after learning. I can't tell you if I am a mother, or you will be impeached by the censor later, and you have to pay for it." Blame me, I'll let Yun'er admit your mistake on my behalf." Mrs. Ye snorted coldly, "In the future, my wife will not touch Brother Mian's affairs, and you will be the ones to bring them up. I see if you can do it again. Teach a brother Jing to come out!"

As soon as Mrs. Ye's words fell, Ye Shilang and Qiu Shi couldn't stand still, they both knelt down quickly, and all the servants in the room also knelt down, not daring to breathe.

Ye Mian had no choice but to kneel down, walked up to Mrs. Ye, hugged the old man's thigh, put her face on his grandmother's knee, and called out pitifully: "Grandma."

"What? But you want to intercede for your father?" Mrs. Ye asked with a straight face.

"Do not......"

It's just that his mother is innocent and tired.

The corners of Mrs. Ye's eyes twitched, and she almost couldn't help giving this disappointing slap. Seeing that his son didn't look up, she quickly gave Ye Mian a wink.

"Grandson is hungry."

Mrs. Qiu hurriedly said: "Mother, don't be so angry, otherwise, who would love brother Mian? You see, he is delicate when he is young, and his stomach hurts when he doesn't eat well."

After Qiu finished speaking, he took a handkerchief and pressed the corners of his eyes, and Mrs. Ye snorted heavily, "Aren't you afraid that I will hurt him and teach him bad again?"

It was Ken who stepped down the steps, and Qiu pinched Ye Shilang's waist fiercely.

"Mother, my son knew he was wrong," Ye Shilang leaned over to apologize.

Ye Mian tugged Mrs. Ye's sleeve embroidered with Ruyi crane pattern and shook it gently.

"Forget it, get up," Mrs. Ye took a sip of tea, sighed for a long time, and said, "It's only natural for a father to teach his son, and I won't bother to get involved in the affairs between your father and son in the future. If you want to discipline him, just take him back to the study to scold him, and don't make me stung in my Shouyunzhai."

"It's my son's fault. I shouldn't have made my mother angry by reprimanding him in Shouyunzhai."

"That's all." Mrs. Ye raised her hand, "Yun'er get up, go see if Grandma is ready."

Mrs. Jiang was the smartest, backed away quietly when Ye Shilang reprimanded Ye Mian, and directed the maids outside to prepare the bowls and chopsticks.

Mrs. Qiu supported Mrs. Ye and led the crowd to the hall. Mrs. Jiang looked like she didn't know anything, and waited for Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Qiu to take their seats with a smile on her face.

During the meal, Ye Mian and Mrs. Jiang chatted amusingly like singing a double reed, and after a while, Mrs. Ye began to smile.

The atmosphere eased up a bit.

Qiu Shi nodded to Jiang Shi with satisfaction.

"When will Brother Jing go home?" Mrs. Ye really felt sorry for her son, and couldn't bear to see him not eating well, so she took the initiative to ask him.

Ye Shilang's frowning brows finally relaxed, and he replied: "I just got a letter from Brother Jing today, saying that the case over there has been closed, and we can leave after finishing the file. , and I will be home in a month or so."

Ye Mian rolled his eyes in his heart, his father only smiled when he mentioned his elder brother, with a gentle and greasy face.

"Really? That's great!" Mrs. Ye was also very happy when she heard that.

"Brother Jing's daughter-in-law can prepare in advance," Mrs. Ye smiled and told Mrs. Jiang, "His study will be smoked with Heluo incense every day, and then asked to find some dried pomelo leaves. Wait for Jing My brother will give him a bath when he comes back, this man, when he returns home from a distance, he must wash off the unclean things outside."

"Yes, grandma, my granddaughter-in-law will remember," Jiang Shi, who was always generous and decent, was rarely shy.

Mrs. Ye laughed and sighed: "Brother Jing, this is the first time you have been away from the mansion for so long, and you have gone to such a far place. From now on, I don't need to talk about these things. You will take care of them yourself, and you will not Ask your mother-in-law, she is doing very well."

Qiu Shi also laughed: "The things I know are also taught by my mother."

"You are all virtuous." Mrs. Ye nodded in satisfaction, and said, "By the way, didn't that guy from Xiangrong send two carts of gold silk charcoal here? The one I used yesterday was really good, better than the one we are used to. Yinshuang charcoal is good, you have someone send half a car to Brother Jing for preparation, it will still be cold in the room when he comes back."

"Mother, someone sent me yesterday," Ye Shilang said with a smile.

"Oh," Mrs. Ye nodded, and said to herself, "How much did Brother Mian's Baofengyuan send? Half a car is probably not enough. This child is afraid of the cold and uses a lot of carbon."

"This..." Ye Shilang didn't continue.

Ye Mian sneered inwardly, lowered his head to eat the vegetables.

The smile on Mrs. Ye's mouth gradually cooled down, both Qiu Shi and Jiang Shi raised their heads, and both had a bad premonition in their hearts.

Sure enough, Ye Shilang smiled and said: "Yesterday I delivered a car to you, and the rest were taken to Brother Jing's Bihua Pavilion. I was thinking that Brother Mian used too much carbon, so There is no need for precious things..."

Ye Shilang was interrupted by Mrs. Ye raising her hand before she finished speaking, and said coldly: "Let's eat, don't talk about it."

Mrs. Qiu was anxious and angry, she really didn't know about this matter, such a trivial matter as the distribution of carbon was clearly a matter of her own responsibility as the head of the house, and she never thought that Ye Shilang would make such a big fuss.

Jiang Shi was even more embarrassed, her face flushed with embarrassment, and the handkerchief in her hand was wrinkled, and she was relieved by being lightly pressed on her shoulder by the nanny following behind.Gold silk charcoal is indeed a precious thing, yes, most of it is paid by the West Fan Kingdom, and rarely flows outside the palace, but no matter how rare it is, she can't dominate her brother-in-law's share, such shameless things spread Where can they put the Jiang family's face!

She was careless. When the woman in her yard reported it yesterday, she should have asked her carefully.

Jiang Nan couldn't help regretting at first, and subconsciously glanced at Ye Mian, only to see that Ye Mian was eating vegetables by himself as if nothing happened, chewing every bite of candied yam until his cheeks bulged.

The atmosphere condensed again, this time Ye Mian was not going to save the scene, and he was not a professional Yao Yaojiu, why would he ask Ye Shilang to put out the fire every time he made a fool of himself in Shouyunzhai.

Everyone who ate this meal had stomach pains, including Ye Mian, but he was strong, the dishes cooked in the kitchen today are really good.

After the meal, Mrs. Jiang waited for her grandmother and mother-in-law to rinse their mouths and drink tea. Seeing everyone's faces, it was not good to stay here, so she got up and said she wanted to leave.

Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Qiu both asked her to be careful of the slippery roads in the dark, and asked people to take two extra palace lanterns for the maids who brought her to carry them.

Ye Mian raised her neck and drank the tea in the cup, wiped her mouth and said to Jiang Shi, "Sister-in-law, I'll see you off."

Everyone looked at him strangely.

"Didn't you get scared by a black cat last time you went back? Today I will give you courage."

Jiang Shi pursed her lips and said with a smile: "There are so many people around me, why do I need a little man like you to give me courage?"

Ye Mian was not embarrassing, and asked the servant girl to bring him a cloak and put it on, saying: "I am a man no matter how young, and you are surrounded by maids and wives, one of them is frightened, and they have to scream loudly, which is better than that black cat." Still scary."

Everyone was amused by him, and Qiu patted Ye Mian's head: "Our Brother Mian also grew up as soon as he slipped away like this."

Ye Mian dodged uncomfortably, "Don't touch your head, it's not tall."

Ye Shilang coughed, turned to Qiu and said, "Send someone to call Feng Jin, and ask him to wait in Bihua Pavilion."

"Why did you let him come?" Ye Mian asked.

"Go back to Baofengyuan to carry the lamp for you, it's dark outside." Ye Shilang said unnaturally.

"No need, my sister-in-law will arrange for someone to carry the lamp for me. Feng Jin has just picked me up from Guozixue. It's freezing cold outside, so don't bother him."

"You still protect a servant?" Ye Shilang just wanted to get angry but couldn't hold it back.

"Of course I protect my own people." Ye Mian said coldly, then turned and left.

After all, he was unhappy in his heart, and couldn't help losing his temper.

Mrs. Jiang was already dressed, she gave them a little hug, then turned around and followed Ye Mian away.

Ye Shilang was left with a stomach full of anger.
