school days in ancient times

In the early morning of the next day, a few sparrows were chirping endlessly on the purple locust tree in the yard, and the faint sunlight came in through the uncovered blue gauze curtain. Ye Mian woke up leisurely, his eyelids opened and closed. After a few times, I sat up lazily, drooping the slightly swollen eyelids for a while, then suddenly grabbed the pillow at hand and threw it on the bed, then kicked it to the end of the bed resentfully.

The servants who had been guarding outside the screen early heard that there was movement in the tent, so they hurried up to serve.

Feng Jin fed him a sip of honey water to moisten his mouth, Ye Mian coughed twice, raised his hand and rubbed his head that was still a little drowsy, Feng Jin quickly handed the cup to the boy standing beside him, stretched out his hand to help him Knead it up.

After kneading for a while, Ye Mian raised his hand, Feng Jin helped him out of bed, took the clothes that had just been smoked with Helanxiang in the morning, and changed them for him.

Kneeling halfway on the ground to straighten the hem of his robe, Feng Jin rolled his eyelids and glanced at him secretly, seeing his master's sullen little face, looking very worried, he opened his mouth but didn't dare to ask.

Ye Mian, on the other hand, drove the others out and asked him, "Who was watching the night last night?"

Feng Jin quickly replied: "Don't worry, Fourth Young Master, there is only this slave."

Ye Mian breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Don't talk nonsense with others."

Feng Jin nodded his head, expressing his loyalty, "Even if the young master brought this servant to Dali Temple for interrogation, this servant will not miss a single word."

"Ah."

Feng Jin saw that the young master's face was slightly pale, and asked cautiously: "Master, what did you fight with the county king last night for?"

Ye Mian glared at him and scolded: "I haven't asked you yet, but you asked me instead. Seeing that your master is fighting with someone, you don't come up to help, you just watch the fun?"

Feng Jin was taken aback, and argued aggrievedly: "But...you are beating people, and the county king is being beaten."

"How can this slave help..." Feng Jin muttered in a low voice with his mouth puckered.

Ye Mian choked, he drank a little too much last night, he knew what happened in general, but he really didn't remember these details.

"Then you won't stop me when you see me beating someone? Your master is drunk, and if he beats someone casually, that's fine!" Ye Mian said relentlessly.

"You guys are making such a fuss inside, why didn't the slave try to persuade you?" Feng Jin said anxiously, "However, the king of the county who was beaten by you made a wink and didn't ask the slave to stop him, and later he bombarded the slave Come out, he will let everyone who is beaten, why should I go to be kind and annoying?"

Ye Mian snorted and didn't speak again.

Feng Jin knew that the master was out of temper, he was using him to throw fire, and he didn't get angry with him seriously, so he wasn't afraid of him, he just told him about the interesting things in Lu's courtyard yesterday, to make him laugh.

Feng Jin kept telling jokes with Ye Mian while bending down to tie a jade pendant and a sachet on his moon-white belt. voice came in.

Ye Mian and Feng Jin glanced at each other, both feeling a little guilty, this is breaking people, can they come to their house?

Ye Mian led Feng Jin out of the screen, and he saw Xia Neijian's complexion was not very good, seeing Ye Mian smiled, but it was uglier than crying, only the servants following behind were holding various kinds of food in their hands.

Xia Neijian sighed and asked the servants to put the breakfast on the table one by one, and then helped Ye Mian to sit at the table, seeing that Ye Mian's exposed face and hands were as usual, white as jade without bruises, comfortable After taking a breath, he said sadly: "The old slave just didn't notice for a while, and your two ancestors fought again. Why did you play so hard this time?"

Ye Mian sipped milk porridge expressionlessly, and asked after a while, "What about others?"

"The Yanqi mansion sent a doctor to apply medicine in the yard," Xia Neijian complained with a wrinkled face, "Master Ye Si listened to the advice of the old slave, and even if you fight, you can't greet him face to face, isn't he? If you are disfigured, the higher-ups know that they will be held accountable, but the county king has kept you a secret, young master, but the Yanqi mansion can't escape, and now they are all waiting for the punishment from the higher-ups with a bitter face."

Ye Mian hadn't spoken yet, but Feng Jin became anxious, and said: "Don't blame our young master! It was the king of Rongnan County who did it first, he... he still bites!"

He looked at it early this morning, there are a few purple marks on the shoulder socket of the master, and there are teeth marks on it, what kind of dog's ability is fighting and biting?snort!

Xia Neijian was taken aback, and after a long time of reaction, he pushed back all the servants who followed, and asked Ye Mian tactfully, "But...are you hurt?"

Feng Jin poked his neck and replied for Ye Mian: "Our master's skin is tender, and he will be green for two days on weekdays. If someone bites, it won't hurt ten days and a half months. Let's go back, the mansion It must be pursued!"

After Xia Neijian was beaten away by Feng Jin, Ye Mian didn't wait for Zhuang Jue to join him, took a few mouthfuls of breakfast, bid farewell to the Lu family, and then rushed back to the capital with his own people.

When he came, he followed the welcoming team, from morning to dusk, he only took a few servants with him when he returned, and the whole journey took only two hours.

Mrs. Qiu had just finished her lunch, and was sitting on the wide ebony couch drinking tea and chatting with Jiang Nanchu, when someone reported that the Fourth Young Master had entered the mansion. Mrs. Qiu was overjoyed, and quickly summoned him Come in, wipe his hands and face with him personally, and ask a few more detailed questions. Ye Mian told the situation over there one by one. Qiu Shi was relieved to hear that, and sent a maid to tell the situation over there. Fifth Yiniang, who stayed for a day and a night, made her feel relieved.

Seeing his tired face, Mrs. Jiang rushed to prepare meals for him, and complained: "It's so far away, it's uneasy to come back in a carriage, but I want to run wildly on a horse."

Ye Mian yawned, and said nonchalantly, "The weather is just right now, who is bored in that carriage."

Mrs. Jiang shot him a look, and ordered someone to wait for him to rest for a while, but Ye Mian waved his hand, "Let someone put the lunch in Baofengyuan, I will sleep after I use it, you girls here It's so noisy, I can't sleep well."

Qiu shook his head and said with a smile: "He's grown up now, why would he stay with us, let him go back quickly, otherwise we will be annoying."

Ye Mian giggled, coaxed Qiu Shi a few words, and was kicked out by Qiu Shi with a smile.

Yi Nong of Baofeng Courtyard hurriedly ordered Ye Mian to boil water on the stove when he went to the main courtyard, and added some pandan in the bathtub to remove dust and relieve fatigue.

Ye Mian didn't take a bath last night, and was pressed and gnawed a few mouthfuls by that bastard, feeling that he was not happy, so he was willing to go out to eat after washing in the tub so hard twice.

After having lunch in the yard and drying his hair, Bao Nian led his men to tidy up the inner room, Ye Mian yawned and climbed into bed with eyes blindfolded.

In the yard, Yi Cui had already yelled to keep quiet with a serious face, and sent two women to watch there, whoever dared to make a loud noise was immediately arrested and punished, and the big maids in the room also quietly watched over. In the outer hall, only a clean little girl with no hair left was left there to fan him. Now that the ice basin has been removed from the room, it is very dry in the afternoon.

Ye Mian has been tossing hard for the past two days, and after lying down for a while, he fell into a drowsy sleep, but in his ears he heard the servant girl say that his father is coming, Ye Mian stared blankly as if he was dreaming.

Ye Shilang was wearing an official uniform, and he had just come back from the Yamen when he saw it. He raised his hand to get up the maids who were pale with fright because they didn't know, and walked into the main room of Baofengyuan.

Looking around the screen, I saw Ye Mian was wearing pajamas, and the thin pine green flowered quilt was not covering her body, but was hugged in her arms, lying on her side, sleeping soundly with her buttocks sticking out.

Ye Shilang frowned, and said with disgust: "I don't even sleep well."

The maidservants on one side trembled twice.

Ye Shilang came back to this room for the first time, looked around a few times, his face became more worried, and asked in a low voice: "How long has your master been asleep?"

Yi Nong was still calm, and replied respectfully: "Just a cup of tea."

Ye Shilang thought for a while, shook his head and walked out, but accidentally kicked on the floor-to-ceiling fragrant wood screen.

The sound wasn't too loud, but it woke up Ye Mian, who had just fallen into a light sleep, and opened his eyes in a daze, only to see Ye Shilang standing in front of his bed.

Ye Mian didn't wake up and got up without any time or person. He sat up slowly, hugged the quilt and hummed with displeasure on his face: "What are you doing?"

Disturbing people's lucid dreams, annoying or not.

Seeing his appearance, Ye Shilang wished he could stretch out his hand to beat him. He flicked his sleeves and ordered his servants in a cold voice, "Give him a sip of herbal tea to wake him up."

Bao Nian got up quickly, poured a cup of warm tea, and didn't dare to feed him as usual, just handed the cup to him, turned his back to Ye Shilang and gave him winks.

After drinking tea, Ye Mian really became sober. He secretly raised his eyes to look at his father, and his thoughts changed. He hasn't caused any trouble recently. What accuser is cheating him, let him know, he will definitely make him look good!

The maids looked at the father and son, not daring to breathe, Yi Nong secretly winked at Yi Cui, telling her to stand guard at the door, in case something really happened, they could go to the main courtyard and Shou Yun Zhai quickly call someone.

"Father, what do you need from me?" Ye Mian asked obediently.

"Well," Ye Shilang snorted and coughed and asked, "I heard from the people in your yard that the king of Rongnan County came two days ago and brought you a birthday present?"

Ye Mian was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect his father to ask him this, so he nodded and said, "Yes..."

"A chest of gold?"

Ye Mian nodded, thought for a while and then shook his head, "It's all kinds of gadgets made of gold." He pointed to the shelf of Duobao Pavilion and whispered, "The unicorn and the unicorn on the second grid over there Pixiu and a pair of cats and dogs are..."

Ye Shilang looked over there, frowned and said, "You just accepted such a valuable thing?"

Ye Mian quickly shook his head, "I didn't, I just picked two and put them up, because I was afraid of offending him, and the rest were put in that box, and I was going to ask someone to send them back to him, isn't this the case? Have you been busy for two days?" Ye Mian hastily asked the servant girl to testify for him, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Yinong, I just told her before going to bed, and ask a few strong servants to carry this box to the princess mansion tomorrow."

Yinong hurriedly testified: "Yes, yes, the slaves and maidservants have already arranged manpower. If the master doesn't believe it, you can call people in to ask."

Ye Shilang softened a little when he heard this, but he coughed and waved his hands: "In that case, leave the things to me, and I will send someone to deliver them myself."

Ye Mian: "..."

The father and son had never had a proper conversation together alone, and the room fell silent for a while, Ye Mian looked at his father with wide almond eyes, asking when you were leaving.

How could Ye Shilang not understand the reading, but he didn't go out with a flick of his sleeves. Instead, he paced around the room and looked around. After a while, he suddenly asked, "You...are you short of money?"

Ye Mian was taken aback for a moment, then straightened his back, nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and almost took a bowl in front of him to knock on it.

Ye Shilang snorted coldly, "If you are short of money, why don't you know how to ask us for it? I want to ask you in person, what a face you are!"

"???"

Ye Mian lost his temper by scolding him, and sat there with his mouth pouting, silent.

Ye Shilang lost his temper instead, took down the golden unicorn and pixiu from the shelf, threw them aside, blew his beard and hummed, "It's getting more and more vulgar, and there's a whole room full of gold, I don't know if it's our servant's mansion. I can't afford to support people."

"Go!" Ye Shilang ordered his servants in a cold voice, "Put these away, there are so many jade pieces and agates in the vault, you don't want to ask your wife, what are you doing with this vulgar thing!"

Ye Shilang had an outburst for no reason, and the maids couldn't figure out what it meant, but they didn't dare to defend themselves, they just knelt there and didn't dare to move.

"Also! Who is in charge of your master's money?"

Yi Nong took two steps forward on her knees.

Ye Shilang scolded: "You were trained by Madam, he didn't know that he was short of expenses, and you guarded his money box and didn't know to report it?"

Yi Nong knocked his head on the ground.

Ye Shilang became more and more annoyed when he talked, seeing the things in the room getting more and more unpleasant, his face became darker and darker, and finally he flung his sleeves and left, angrily said: "I'm only talking to your wife, there is no one from the master to the slave. heart!"

After Ye Shilang left, Ye Mian winked at the kneeling and trembling servant girl, Bao Nian hurriedly got up and ran out, came back after a while, and said anxiously: "The master and his wife had a quarrel in the main courtyard, and the lady... ..I have started a fight with the master!"

Ye Mian: "..."
