school days in ancient times

Zhuang Jue poured Ye Mian's hangover soup, then raised his hand to signal the surrounding waiters to stand outside the yard.

"What are you doing?" Ye Mian asked him a little uneasy.

Zhuang Jue poured him a glass of wine, and said lightly: "Get you drunk, and then take advantage of your danger."

Ye Mian snorted disdainfully, "You dare."

"You know I dare not, but are you still afraid?"

Ye Mian choked.

Zhuang Jue picked up his cup and said slowly: "This is the royal wine 'Autumn Lubai' made by Guanglu Temple. When the dew is thick in autumn nights, a shallow dish is placed under the grass leaves hanging upside down on the cliff to collect the dew juice. It is very hard to come by, now there is only such a small urn, and the imperial grandmother rewarded me, now you are considered lucky, but you don’t have to be ruined by this hangover soup.”

Ye Mian was taken aback, "Isn't the nectar in the sky, the jade liquid in the world" referring to the autumn dew, he picked up the wine glass, put it under his nose and smelled it, and it was really clear and fragrant.

"The empress dowager actually rewarded you with such a rare and precious thing," Ye Mian clicked his tongue, really flattered, thought about it and then asked: "Could it be possible that I have something to ask you?"

Zhuang Jue turned his head and chuckled, and said sarcastically, "Everyone is just like you, Zhong Wuyan when there is something to do, and summer to welcome spring when there is nothing to do."

"Hey you..." Ye Mian really didn't pay much attention these two times, Zhuang Jue hurt him, and he couldn't refute it, so he shut his mouth embarrassingly.

Zhuang Jue looked at him and said: "Since it is He Sheng's toast, naturally I want the best one. I specially went to the palace to ask for it from the emperor's grandmother a few days ago."

Ye Mian frowned, "They said that I don't care about birthday celebrations anymore, why are you making trouble in the palace again, now your uncle's family might think of me."

Zhuang Jue snorted, "What does it have to do with you? Your face can at most be exchanged for two tanks of monkey brew, and it's worth my trip to the palace."

"...Then what are you doing to congratulate me?" Ye Mian said with staring almond eyes, "Go, go, ask your people to bring the monkey stuff, don't spoil your good things .”

Ye Mian was in a hurry, but Zhuang Jue didn't care too much, and said lightly: "Who said it was your birthday, and you don't want to celebrate your birthday."

Ye Mian was taken aback by him, "Didn't you say that you went to get this good wine because of He Sheng?"

Zhuang Jue nodded, and said lightly, "Yes, it's just to celebrate my birthday."

Ye Mian was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to open his eyes and ask him, "Your birthday? When is your birthday?"

"today."

"You were born on the same month and the same day as me?" Ye Mian was shocked and asked, "You didn't fool me, did you?"

Zhuang Jue glared at him.

Ye Mian shut her mouth in embarrassment, people at this time would definitely not make fun of this, but after thinking about it, she still found it incredible, and said with a smile: "Why didn't you tell me earlier, I can still prepare A congratulatory gift or something, I have nothing to give you right now."

"Have you ever seen someone come up to someone asking for a gift before their birthday?" Zhuang Jue looked at him and snorted, and said, "Birthday gifts are just about the idea. What?"

Ye Mian scratched his head and muttered, "Let me remind you of the head office."

Zhuang Jue glanced at him, and said after a while: "Then why do you think I went to give you a gift on the first two days of your birthday?"

"what?"

"I was thinking, if I have a little bit of a heart, I will ask about my birthday, so that I can prepare to return the gift in the future."

Ye Mian rubbed his hands together awkwardly, looked at Zhuang Jue's infinitely resentful eyes, blushed, raised his wine glass and said, "Let's not talk about the past, since you and I have the same birthday on the same month, it is indeed worth celebrating Some, but I'll have a drink first to make amends with you."

After Ye Mian finished speaking, he raised his head and finished the jade wine in the cup.

"It's really good wine!" Ye Mian licked his lips and sighed, it was not spicy in his throat, but sweet in his mouth, with a fragrance on his teeth and cheeks.

Zhuang Sui didn't want to be angry with him at all, so he drank a glass with him, refilled it with him, changed the subject and asked, "Then tell me, why don't you want He Sheng? Seeing you, your mother and grandmother always love you, so there is no movement in the house."

"Why are you still thinking about this?"

"Well," Zhuang Jue frowned, he was very dissatisfied with this.

Ye Mian sipped another glass of wine before saying: "My grandmother said that my mother gave birth to me very hard. In the end, people saw that it was no longer possible. Both the doctor and the old lady said that they had to go to the mother to keep the child, otherwise they would be dead. My father tried to stop me, saying that I would rather kill my wife than kill my wife, and my mother finally gave birth to me, but I was still awake, and our Ye Mansion even prepared the coffin."

Zhuang Jue paused the hand holding the wine glass, and asked, "It will be fine later?"

Ye Mian nodded, "I don't know exactly why, I just said that I begged around and invited the imperial doctor in the palace to see her, but even though my wife is cured, she still hurt her body, otherwise we wouldn't be the only two brothers."

"So," Ye Mian smiled, "I mourn my parents for giving birth to me. There is nothing wrong with my father banning my birthday congratulations in the mansion since then. I refuse to celebrate my birthday with myself."

Zhuang Jue nodded.

What Ye Mian didn't say was that the lunar calendar day when he was hit to death in his previous life happened to be Ye Mian's birthday in Dawen Dynasty, and the day he woke up was July and a half. Every time he thinks about it this day, he gets goosebumps all over his body, wishing he could go to sleep right away, and it will be the next day when he opens his eyes.

But he didn't expect Zhuang Jue to be born on the same month and the same day as him. He looked up and saw Zhuang Jue looking thoughtful, and asked him with a smile: "Why don't you talk, what are you thinking?"

Zhuang Jue lowered his eyes, "It's nothing."

Ye Mian didn't ask any more questions, and just asked casually: "How did you spend your birthday in previous years, it must be very lively."

"Well," Zhuang Jue nodded, "My mother likes to be lively, and my father likes to be ostentatious. Every year on Zhuang Yu's and my birthday, the entire Jinling will wear colorful colors, and porridge shops for us to pray for blessings will be set up outside the city. There are hundreds of them, and fireworks will be set off on both sides of the Qinhuai River, so it’s quite lively.”

"That's great," Ye Mian nodded enviously.

"It's okay, I liked birthday celebrations when I was young, but I don't like it when I'm older," Zhuang Juan said, "Why should those irrelevant people be happier than me on my birthday?"

Ye Mian burst out laughing, what an awkward kid.

"However," Zhuang Jue changed the subject, "Since you can't celebrate your birthday, I will try to make my annual birthday more lively in the future. Every time you are with me, I think it will be much happier."

Zhuang Jue raised his eyes to look at Ye Mian, and whispered: "Although you don't care about your birthday, I can't see you being quiet and cold on this day, and I will feel distressed."

Ye Mian's heart trembled.

The night wind blew, mixed with the cool fragrance of the person opposite who seemed to be absent, brushed across his cheeks, Ye Mian cleared his throat unnaturally and turned his head to look to the other side, complaining secretly in his heart, no wonder romantic people have liked it since ancient times Before the flowers and under the moon, eachother vows forever.

The moonlight is already seductive enough, the beauty in front of me is even more seductive than the moon in the sky, what can I do.

Zhuang Jue poured him another glass, and Ye Mian raised his eyes to look at him, thinking to himself, everyone said that seeing the snow on the top of the city, looking at the flowers in front of the lamp, and seeing the beauty under the moon, this is true, Zhuang Jue has grown up It was so good that the whole person was bathed in the halo of the moon, and it was even more like a fairy and a painting, as if it had strayed into the mortal world.

Ye Mian raised his head and took a sip of the wine in the glass, breaking the silence, and asked him: "Then you come to the capital alone this year, and no one will celebrate your birthday with you, isn't it pitiful?"

Zhuang Jue shook his head, "The emperor's uncle and the emperor's grandmother wanted to keep me in the palace for my birthday, but I didn't agree."

Ye Mian paused, feeling a bad premonition, and asked him, "Then how did you tell them?"

"I said I'm going to Yanqi to marry the concubine of Ye Heng, the household servant."

After a while, Ye Mian said: "...Brother, are you deliberately cheating me?"

Zhuang Jue smiled, "Brother didn't mean that, it's just that you called me brother two days ago, and you were very happy. I can't let you suffer. I wrote back to Jinling yesterday. I will ask the palace for an order to accept you as a adopted son."

Ye Mian opened his eyes wide, unable to speak.

Zhuang Jue said happily again: "I also mentioned it in front of the emperor's uncle and the emperor's grandmother yesterday, so you can rest assured."

"No," Ye Mian stood up, feeling dizzy in his head, staggered and steadied himself and asked him, "You...you have nothing to say to them in advance, you have to discuss it with me in advance!"

Zhuang Jue looked at him strangely, frowned and said, "Didn't you call me brother?"

"I called you dad!" Ye Mian shouted angrily.

Zhuang Jue lowered his eyes and thought for a while, "As long as you want, it's not impossible."

Ye Mian wished he could raise his hand to put the noodles on the table on his head, and after calming down for a while, he asked, "Zhuang Jue, what on earth are you thinking, you say you are interested in me, and then let your mother recognize me as a adopted son , then we are really brothers, you can..."

When Ye Mian said this, his eyes rolled away. Being brothers with Zhuang Jue would solve his predicament, and his relatives and brothers and friends who came to him would not be against it...

Unexpectedly, Zhuang Jue said: "What's the matter, why can't brothers get married? I can't wait for you to change with Zhuang Yu, you are my fellow brother."

Ye Mian: "..."

Zhuang Jue tilted his head and looked at him: "Do you know how jealous I am of Ye Jing, even your father, you both have the same blood."

Ye Mian had milia on the back of his neck, "What are you jealous of?"

Zhuang Jue didn't speak, just stared at him straight.
