school days in ancient times

As dusk fell to the west, the study room in Bihua Pavilion was lit with candles, brightly lit.

A few big maids were neatly storing Ye Mian's various clothes and accessories in the cage, busy without touching the floor.

Ye Mian sat cross-legged on the low yellow pear wood couch under the window in displeasure, with a small Kong Ming lock in her hand, and her slender white fingers were carelessly fiddled with it.

Ye Jing looked at him and snorted, and said sarcastically, "Didn't you keep telling me to let you go back to Baofengyuan to be happy? Why did you make you look like this again after you went back?"

"Is it alright if you haven't eaten enough rice from Bihua Pavilion?" Ye Mian was already angry today, so his words got a little rushed.

Ye Jing raised her eyebrows and scolded: "I haven't had time to deal with you, so you should mention it first! You only dare to bully your sister-in-law all day long, why don't you go to the main courtyard to be a monster with your parents?"

Ye Mian snorted, but didn't dare to answer.

He was ill when he came to Bihua Pavilion a few days ago, so Jiang Nanchu naturally wanted to take care of him alone, and he was very careful about his food, and every day he told the maids around him to coax him to eat more, as long as he asked. , Bihua Pavilion did not refuse to do so.

Ye Mian was used to eating dishes cooked with vegetable oil in his previous life, so he didn't like the animal fat here, so his sister-in-law sent someone to find Yuntai seeds and tea seeds to squeeze oil for him. Seeing that it was not soft enough to prick his throat, Jiang Nanchu asked the cook to pound the rice several times, then soak it in warm water, rub it with his hands, and wash it in cold water until the rice grains are shiny, and finally use a steamer to steam it for him. , the steamed rice is glutinous but not sticky, soft but not loose, using this method to prepare meals every day, Ye Mian did not lose his appetite during the illness.

"Why don't you speak, aren't you very reasonable?" Ye Jing asked him loudly.

Ye Mian threw Kong Mingsuo aside, turned his head and said, "Are you letting me go back? It seems like you are driving me away! I started to pack things in the middle of the night, and I couldn't live all night... ..”

"Stop talking nonsense!" Ye Jing reprimanded lightly, and then explained: "I will rush to Mizhou before dawn tomorrow. Now that you are old, how can you stay alone in Bihua Pavilion for the night?"

Ye Mian was taken aback.

Ye Jing looked at him and shook his head, "It's your birthday in a few days, and it will be fourteen. You must know how to avoid suspicion, and stop messing around in front of your sister-in-law."

"I'll be on vacation for ten days after that, can you still pick me up to Bihua Pavilion?"

Ye Jing looked at him and sighed, "You will live alone in the future, stand on top of the door, and be pampered by my mother and me all the time. How can you grow up?"

Ye Mian was silent for a while, then lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Don't bully me, I know why you are in such a hurry to drive me away, I have heard it all."

"Huh?" Ye Jing raised his eyebrows and asked him, "What did you hear?"

Ye Mian didn't look at his brother, but lowered his head and said, "That day I woke up and didn't open my eyes, and I heard Penglu next to my sister-in-law secretly telling Baonian that my sister-in-law seemed to be diagnosed as pregnant, but the days were not enough, so I didn't let people Make a statement."

Ye Jing was stunned for a moment, then snorted, "You have listened to me."

Ye Mian didn't smile, and muttered, "You're going to have a son soon..."

"how?"

Ye Mian also couldn't say what to do, he just raised his head and glanced at his brother.

That look was extremely sad.

Ye Jing couldn't hold back a chuckle, walked to the window, bent over and squeezed the soft flesh on Ye Mian's cheek, teasing him: "You're jealous of that little man before he was born?"

Ye Mian patted his brother's hand, "Don't pinch my face, I'm getting old." Then pinch your son.

Ye Jing sighed with a smile, sat beside him, held him in her arms and coaxed him, "I will have many children, but you are the only younger brother. Why are you so upset?"

Ye Mian pursed her lips, smelling the faint fragrance of pear blossoms on Ye Jing's body, and said unwillingly: "Then what's the matter, no matter how many children you have, you have to keep them by your side, and if you have only one younger brother, you have to be driven away overnight... .”

Ye Jing was helpless, and compromised: "Okay, okay, I won't leave tonight, and I will send you back to Baofengyuan tomorrow."

Ye Mian snorted, and muttered: "I'm not bad at your place, and I'm not shameless."

"Stop messing around," Ye Jing said angrily.

"Who messed around?" Ye Mian pushed Ye Jing away, and said depressedly: "I didn't think of this before, I have to think about my sister-in-law, what should be avoided is to avoid..."

Ye Jing personally sent Ye Mian back to Baofeng Courtyard. When passing by the garden, Ye Mian picked a few good crane orchids and handed them to Ye Jing.

"Give it to sister-in-law in a while."

"Ok?"

"My birthday will be over in a few days, and I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to send her flowers. Tell her later that it was my fault for making her angry a few days ago, and I won't dare to pour out the medicine secretly when I get sick in the future. ..." Ye Mian thought for a while and said, "I'm looking forward to the birth of my little nephew."

Ye Jing took the bouquet, "Here comes this trick again, but mother and your sister-in-law have to follow your tricks. Because of this, my father and I have suffered a lot from you."

Ye Mian smiled smugly.

The two of them were talking and laughing as they walked towards Baofeng Courtyard, when a servant came out from Bihua Pavilion and reported: "Young Master, the second son of Prime Minister Wei's family is here."

Ye Mian's heart skipped a beat.

Ye Jing frowned, wondering, "Wei Angqing? What is he doing here?" Then he turned to look at Ye Mian, "Did you really have a fight with Wei Angyuan?"

Ye Mian froze there without saying a word, then heard the young man whisper: "Second Young Master Wei seems to be in a bad mood, and he didn't know what he was cursing all the way into the flower hall..."

After hearing this, Ye Jing's eyebrows turned cold, and she turned around and went to Bihua Pavilion.

Ye Mian reacted and quickly followed, "Brother, I'll go with you."

When the two rushed to the flower hall, Wei Angqing was sitting there gulping tea, saw the two brothers come in, put down the cups, said "tsk tsk" and clapped their hands repeatedly.

Ye Jing frowned, and said impatiently, "Why are you crazy?"

Wei Angqing ignored him, and just sighed: "The double walls of the Ye family are well-deserved." After speaking, he raised his hand and called Ye Mian, who had saluted him, to him, looked up and down carefully, and praised him. Said: "Look, our little beauty looks like..."

Wei Angqing chuckled, "Just like his brother back then, he is a disaster!"

Ye Jing pulled Ye Mian aside, turned to Wei Angqing and asked, "Are you tired of living? You actually came to me to act wildly!"

"Yo, it's quite protective," Wei Angqing slapped the table and stood up, and said in a nasty voice, "Why don't you go find the Rongnan County King by yourself when you are so protective? After all these years, the two of you brothers will always provoke those lunatics! In the end Let our brothers bear it for you to return the damn thing!"

"What nonsense are you talking about in front of the child?" Ye Jing snapped, then turned to ask Ye Mian, "What's going on?"

Ye Mian shrank her neck, and talked about the whole thing emphatically.

Ye Jing breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and asked, "That's all?"

Ye Mian nodded cautiously.

Over there, Wei Angqing jumped, and asked loudly: "What do you mean? My younger brother is lying on the bed and can't get up. That lunatic surnamed Zhuang dares to make him look good, and even I come forward They only sent a rough envoy to dismiss them!"

Wei Angqing gritted his teeth angrily, and said angrily: "He lives in that Guozixue now, and I can't even get in. In the future, when Ang Yuan cancels his vacation and goes to school, if that person really commits a crime and hurts him, you Can you pay me your brother?"

Ye Jing looked at it with a sneer, and said disdainfully: "It's because you don't have the ability to get in. Instead of begging your prime minister father, you came to me to make trouble. Your brain is not as good as it used to be!"

Ye Mian hurried forward to stand between the two of them, helped Wei Angqing to sit down, and said apologetically, "Brother Qing, don't be angry, this time it's my fault that Ang Yuan is hurt, I will go to Rongnan County King tomorrow. Make peace."

"You are not allowed to go!" Ye Jing and Wei Angqing shouted at the same time.

Ye Mian: "..."

Sitting there, Wei Angqing sighed, and said angrily: "Ye Jing, you still have the nerve to mention the past!"

Ye Jing glanced at him.

Wei Angqing turned his head and asked Ye Mian: "Brother Mian, do you know why I am the same age as your brother but waited until this year to get married?

Ye Mian shook his head.

"Because all the ladies I admire have taken a fancy to your brother!"

Ye Mian: "..."

"Do you know why, as the prime minister's son, I was beaten twice in three days?"

Ye Mian shook his head again.

"Because I fell in love with your brother's son, I thought he admired me!"

Ye Mian: "..." How miserable!

Wei Ang said with a clear voice: "Now that I have been studying in Guozi for three years, and each of us is an official, I don't have to be so angry with Mr. Duanhua anymore. My stupid brother picked up this job and made you a living target ..."

Ye Mian lowered his head.

"Okay," Ye Jing frowned and said, "You hit a wall with that surname Zhuang, and you used him to vent your anger. You really got angry."

Wei Angqing took another sip of tea, and said angrily: "The one surnamed Zhuang better clear his mind, he dared to touch Ang Yuan's finger, I even set his princess mansion on fire."

Ye Jing snorted coldly, "Yes, I will wait for your family at Dali Temple."

Wei Angqing let out a "hiss", and said angrily: "What's the matter, this matter has nothing to do with you?"

Ye Jing sat on the official hat chair on the other side, and said calmly: "He is not an official now, and no one in the Zhuang family is in office, and the foundation is all in Jinling, and his mother is the eldest princess who is rich, rich and precious. Hold him."

Wei Angqing thought for a while, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, have you tried it?"

Ye Jing sipped her tea and said nothing.

Wei Angqing clapped his hands and said with a smile: "You have such a day."

Ye Mian personally held the pot and poured tea for the two elder brothers. Wei Angqing looked at him, and sighed with Ye Jing, "Your younger brother should be more careful."

Ye Jing nodded lightly.

After Wei Angqing left, Ye Mian hung his head and humbly asked Ye Jing, "Brother, how did you deal with it back then so that Brother Qing would not be troubled by you?"

Ye Jing smiled lightly, "I got used to being alone later on, and it was better when I got far away with a few classmates and friends."

Ye Mian froze there, no wonder those people said that Mr. Duanhua was aloof and aloof when he was in school, difficult to get close to, he was very difficult to get along with, it turned out to be so.
