school days in ancient times

Although the Lu family, the husband's family appointed by the Qiu family to Ye Yan, is only a fifth-rank acquaintance in the local area, it is also a prominent family in the local area. The handsome groom is riding a tall horse proudly, leading the welcoming team all the way. At the gate of the mansion, he dared not get off his horse.

The groom, Lu Xingjian, just got a job as a judge at the place where Dali Temple is located on Yanqi last year. Every time his Shang Feng went back to Beijing to report on his work, he was so scared that he couldn't sleep for the first two nights, he was afraid that if he didn't prepare properly, he would be punished again. The jade-faced Hades reprimanded him on the spot, making him look old, so he often told him how "vicious" his uncle was in private.

When they arrived outside the gate of Ye Mansion, they were coaxed and blocked by the crowd, Lu Xingjian didn't dare to lead his brothers to force his way in, so he just tossed the wrapped auspicious money vigorously, and forcibly used the money to open the gate of the mansion. Only when you break it open can you dare to step in the door.

When I entered, I found out that my uncle was still in Mizhou on a business trip. Immediately, he straightened up and paid homage to his father-in-law and mother-in-law. When the auspicious time came, he rubbed his hands happily and waited for the bride to get on his sedan chair.

The matchmaker urged three times loudly according to the rules, and the bride with the red hijab over there was finally helped out by a group of people. The maid with a pretty face was on the right hand side a slender young man with exquisite eyebrows, when she saw him she gave him a hard look, her expression was very picky.

That look made Lu Xingjian's calf go weak.

Ye Jing was not there, and Ye Mian, as the only second son in the family, supported his concubine sister's slightly trembling hands on the sedan chair, and comforted him in a low voice, "Second sister, don't be afraid, I will follow your sedan chair in a while, and wait for you to get there I’ll come back when the head is born, and you’ll come back three days later, the elder brother is coming back from Mizhou, if he dares to bully you, let the elder brother take him to Dali Temple to recognize the door.”

Fifth Yiniang decided to order this Lu Xingjian last year, and this is also the reason. With someone like Ye Jing on top, he is more useful than Ye Shilang. Noisy moth, in the house, fed him bear heart and leopard gall, but he didn't dare to make any troubles.

Her daughter can't bear to be angry in the inner house for the rest of her life!

After Ye Mian helped Ye Yan onto the bridal sedan chair, he went to Lu Xingjian and bowed, and called "brother-in-law" respectfully, and Lu Xingjian hurriedly returned the salute.

Ye Mian and Feng Jin ordered, "Go and call him, and tell him that the sedan chair is leaving."

Feng Jin should have run out.

Ye Mian took advantage of this opportunity to smile with Lu Xingjian and said, "This time the king of Rongnan County will go to Yanqi with me to give the wedding ceremony. When he comes later, I will bring my brother-in-law to meet him first."

Lu Xingjian froze on the spot.

With ten miles of red makeup, Zhuang Jue and Ye Mian followed on the side of the sedan chair.

After leaving the city, Zhuang Jue handed Ye Mian a sandalwood brocade box.

"What is this?" Ye Mian asked after receiving it. He was riding a horse, so it was inconvenient to open the box.

"Since you are here to send a wedding, you have to add makeup to the newcomer," Zhuang Juan said: "You can explain to Ye Shilang when you go back."

Ye Mian frowned, and said sadly: "You also feel that something is wrong with my father, don't you?"

Zhuang Jue snorted softly, "I came with you to send off the marriage, but he looked at me as if he was here to snatch the marriage."

Ye Mian glanced at him, shook the brocade box in her hand, the box was very light, and there were only rustling sounds inside.

"A bank note?" Ye Mian asked him.

"Well," Zhuang Jue nodded indifferently.

Ye Mian thought about his usual way of doing things, clamped the horse's belly slightly with his legs, and opened the brocade box with both hands free.

Inside the box was a stack of two stacks of bank notes. When I opened them, I found that each note was 1000 taels, ten in total.

Ye Mian almost fell off the horse, "1 taels!!! Are you really here to snatch a kiss?"

Zhuang Jue glanced at him lightly, "It's just some silver, and it's not something rare. Why are you making such a fuss?"

Ye Mian shook his head, and returned the brocade box to him, "You are not adding makeup, but you are here to add trouble to my father. My fifth aunt has begged him for so long in the past two years, and my father only subsidizes it in private. Give my second sister 2000 taels."

"So petty?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ye Mian rolled his eyes at him and muttered, "I really don't know how expensive Chai Migui is if I'm not in charge."

His parents prepared a full 64-year-old dowry box for his second sister, and his mother told him privately that marrying a daughter-in-law in an official family in the capital is nothing more than that.

Zhuang Jue looked at him and snorted, shook his head and said, "From that day on, you will come and be my housekeeper."

After Zhuang Jue finished speaking, he leaned over, stretched his arms past Ye Mian, and handed the brocade box in through the curtain of the sedan chair.

The box landed under Ye Yan's feet with a "pop", which made Ye Yan cover her mouth and exclaim in shock.

"Second sister, don't be afraid of me."

Ye Mian hurriedly said something to comfort him, then turned his head and gave Zhuang Jue a glare.

When we arrived at Lu's house in Yanqi, there was a fast horse two hours early to report back, and the king of Rongnan County also followed.The Lu family was shocked, now that the sedan chair was about to arrive, the front door of the Lu family was wide open, and Lu Tongzhi and his whole family were waiting there.

The bridal sedan chair welcomes the door, Zhuang Jue is invited to sit in the high seat, Lu's family's son is getting married, there are many guests, there is not enough manpower, and now there are a few people left to accompany him to serve him, Ye Mian can't help complaining , I knew he came to cause trouble.

Although the Lu family was in a hurry this day, they were happy after all. Being able to marry the Ye family in the capital was a high point, and now the king of Rongnan County condescended to come to the Lu residence to watch the ceremony together. Who in Yanqi would not be envious?

Mrs. Lu took a group of female relatives to the inner courtyard to see her daughter-in-law's dowry, her face was full of glory, and her heart was secretly proud. , She actually appointed a concubine raised by a concubine for her aunt, and now the dowry brought by her daughter-in-law is more generous than when they marry their own daughters. It can be seen that she was raised well in front of her aunt since she was a child, and her character must be good. There is no doubt that in the future they will be accompanied by her incredible brothers.

They can't go wrong with this room!

The noble ladies and relatives of Yanqi who followed Mrs. Lu were looking at the dowry, but their minds were not here. The girls in the family were eager to come to the banquet for a few days, and they wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to catch a glimpse of Mr. Duanhua It's a pity that he didn't come because of official business, and the girls were frustrated before they had time to stomp their feet. Unexpectedly, they saw Mr. Duanhua's direct younger brother and Rongnan County King.

The King of Rongnan County and the others have heard about it for a long time, and no one knows that they are in the south and the north with Mr. Duanhua. Now that they see it, they are really impressive, and their demeanor is even more graceful, which makes people admire.Unexpectedly, the second son of the Ye family is also extremely beautiful, with extremely beautiful eyebrows and eyes, dazzling people just standing there, and standing with King Rongnan County, he was not suppressed.

At that time, not to mention the young ladies who hadn’t left the court, their faces were blushing. Why didn’t these women have moved their minds one after another. Nowadays, when men and women get married, they pay attention to high-married women and low-married daughters-in-law. The King of Rongnan County is a royal nobleman. Dare to talk about it, but the second son of the Ye family, they spend some of their family property to buy a dowry, maybe they can get enough.

After the evening ceremony, it was almost dusk, the Lu family vacated two nice yards for these two distinguished guests.

Zhuang Jue ordered Xia Neijian to send away Yanqi Mansion, who had repeatedly invited him to the banquet, and asked the waiter to bring good wine, and went to Ye Mian's yard with his feet.

Ye Mian was persuaded to have a few drinks at the banquet, and now he is enjoying the coolness on the stone table in the yard, sipping hangover soup, it is the middle of the month, the full moon is hanging on the top, without cloud cover, and the brilliance is everywhere Sprinkling, the yard was only lighted with a few lanterns, and it was brightly lit.

The waiter put the food and wine on the stone table one by one.

Ye Mian laughed and said, "I'm drinking hangover soup here, but you brought wine again."

"Today is your birthday."

"How do you still remember?"

Zhuang Jue shook his head dissatisfied and said, "It doesn't matter if I remember it or not, but your Ye family shouldn't let your concubine's big wedding bump into your life."

Ye Mian was taken aback for a moment, then smiled lightly and said indifferently: "What's the matter, I don't care about it."

Uncharacteristically, Zhuang Jue didn't refute him, but just pushed a bowl of noodles towards his eyes, "Let's eat the noodles."

Ye Mian slightly lowered his head and sniffed the hot chicken soup noodles in front of him, and picked up one with chopsticks, but it turned out to be a whole stick of longevity noodles.

Glancing at him, he seemed interested.

Ye Mian was burying his head in his face, but after a long while, he didn't see any movement from the other side. When he looked up, he saw Zhuang Jue was staring at him with a wine glass, his eyes swept over him as if they were real.

Ye Mian bit off the longevity noodles in his mouth, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"nothing."

Zhuang Jue withdrew his gaze, then picked up the hangover soup in front of Ye Mian's eyes, and splashed it on the ground with his hand.
