school days in ancient times

After Ye Shilang came out from Ye Mian's place, he went straight to the main courtyard. Qiu Shi was shocked when he saw that he came back in official uniform just after halfway through the day, and looked carefully at Ye Shilang's face, it was as dark as the bottom of a pot , immediately sank his heart, hurriedly sent Jiang Nanchu back to Bihua Pavilion, and drove all the waiters into the yard, just thinking that it was something serious outside.

Ye Shilang took the chrysanthemum tea handed to him by Qiu Shi but didn't drink it, he put the thin porcelain cup heavily on the red sandalwood tea table aside, and asked directly: "I'm asking you, brother Mian, where is your room?" How did the mother pick it up?"

Qiu didn't realize that he was referring to Brother Mian, she was taken aback by his question, then thought for a while, and said in a daze: "What's the matter, but what's wrong with his house, which girl is acting like a demon again?"

"There's nothing wrong with it!" Ye Shilang slapped the table angrily, "What kind of junk do you keep in his room?"

Qiu Shi was startled, frowned and said, "What kind of evil fire are you sending out?" After thinking for a while, she said angrily, "Why do you just buy something from the junk market? Those are the best ones picked from my dowry. It's a bit old-fashioned, but it's not as unbearable as you said!"

Ye Shilang flicked his sleeves, "Stop bluffing me! Your dowry is full of precious ones, why didn't I see any of them at his place just now?"

"Have you gone to Mian'er?" Qiu Shiqi asked.

"Where did I go?" Ye Shilang blew on his beard, "If I didn't go, I wouldn't know that Ye Heng's son-in-law had fallen so far in the mansion! It would be better to fill the stable with straw than his house!"

Hearing what he said, Mrs. Qiu became more and more unsightly, Liu Mei stood upside down, and cursed: "Ye Heng, what kind of crazy talk are you talking about! In the capital, apart from the princes and marquises, who is not a brother of an official like us?" How do you put it in charge of the house? I have precious gold in my dowry, how dare I put it in his house? You don’t know how naughty your young son is, and he doesn’t report a few broken bottles and broken lamps in his yard every ten days Yes, why let him get away with it!"

Ye Shilang let out a "ha" and raised his eyebrows, "You might as well just say that you don't want that good thing! I didn't know you were like this for so many years."

Mrs. Qiu was so angry that she covered her heart with one hand and shook her hand with a handkerchief, pointing at him and scolding, "I can't bear it, but you can't? The good things you bought from Nanhai Beibei that day all went to Brother Jing." , when will you be willing to send one to Mian'er's place! Now you only went to Baofengyuan once, but you are blaming me! I am a woman, and I only hang around in this inner house every day. How can I be like you? Can you usually go to find those exquisite and precious objects?"

Ye Shilang snorted coldly: "Why am I reluctant? I... didn't think of it! Brother Jing is our eldest son, so I naturally want to take care of him more," Ye Shilang said with a trace of emotion. Complacent, he said: "I taught Brother Jing to be Duanhua, but you mother, I only let you take care of the second son, what kind of virtue do you teach him?"

Qiu Shi was so angry that he almost fell backwards, and said angrily: "What kind of virtue? You tell me clearly! Our Mian'er is so popular outside, I think it is better than Brother Jing!"

Unexpectedly, Ye Shilang jumped up when he heard this, raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "What makes people like you? Don't make people like you!"

Qiu Shi was startled by him, "Ye Heng! Are you crazy?!"

"What a good brother, why can't he be taught to be as proud and innocent as his brother? Now he is used to currying favor with others, what does he look like!" Ye Shilang walked around the room with his hands behind his back, suddenly remembered something, looked at Qiu Shi said: "Also, the private money he saved is empty, you should make it up for him quickly."

After thinking for a while, he shook his sleeves and said, "Forget it! I can't entrust Brother Mian to you anymore." After Ye Shilang finished speaking, he called his servants in loudly, and ordered in a cold voice, "Go, pay 2000 taels of silver to the accountant. Send it to the fourth young master of Baofengyuan, and then tell it over there, in the future, the fourth young master will pay the money and not go to the account of the office, and all will be transferred to me, and there is no need to report it to me if it does not exceed 500 taels each time."

You Ming led the way.

Qiu's eyes widened, and it took a while before he said in shock: "Aren't you trying to spoil him by raising him like this?"

Ye Shilang waved his hands impatiently, "Let's just let it go, brother Jing was the same way before, and it's not bad."

"How can this be done!" Qiu Shi hurriedly reasoned with him, "He is not the same as Brother Jing. Brother Jing is self-disciplined, but Mian'er is very delicate. She usually has more flowers than the spoiled lady in the boudoir. If you indulge him endlessly in terms of money, he will become even more arrogant, how can you support him?"

"I think it's so good! I, Ye Heng, have been in the officialdom for half my life. Is it possible that I can't even afford to support a delicate young son?" Ye Shilang snorted: "Besides, it's better to be arrogant than to keep him eyelids." Shallow, it seems like a few taels of gold can fool him away!"

Ye Shilang became even more angry when he said this, and said loudly: "Just keep it for me!"

Qiu Shi couldn't reason with him, trembling with anger, scolded: "Are you going to teach him to be a dude?"

Ye Shilang snorted coldly, "I have my own reasons. In the future, Brother Mian will be like Brother Jing, and I will take care of it myself. You just take care of the sons and daughters of the mansion, and don't meddle in his yard anymore. "

After Ye Shilang finished speaking, he glanced at her worriedly. Qiu's heart was beating wildly with anger, and he lost all reason. He grabbed the half-empty teacup in his hand and threw it at Ye Shilang, cursing tremblingly: "Ye Heng you An old dog! Get out of here!"

After Ye Shilang was persuaded to leave by the two nurses beside Qiu who rushed in, Qiu couldn't help being wronged, and cried loudly, "I'll take my son back to her mother's house tomorrow, but I want my parents to comment on it." To judge the truth, I have been in his Ye family for more than [-] years, presiding over the middle school, taking care of the general affairs, who is not dedicated to the husband and the child, and finally became a wicked woman who treats the youngest son harshly."

The old mother sighed and persuaded: "Master is speaking in a moment of anger, Madam don't have to take it to heart."

"What is he talking about!" Qiu cried: "Back then, he didn't allow me to interfere with Brother Jing because he didn't cover the quilt tightly at night and caught the wind and cold. He only took it with him personally. Now Brother Jing How can you all see clearly that you are not close to me at all, and now you are coming to rob me, Mian'er!"

"Our fourth young master is your dear wife most, don't be afraid." The old mammy patted her back and persuaded her with a smile.

Qiu wiped her tears, and said with a choked voice: "Which of the officials' wives who know doesn't laugh at me behind my back, just think of me as a fool who can't even raise a son, what crime did I do in my previous life to marry him... ..”

Qiu didn't understand why Xiaoye Shilang suddenly had an inexplicable attack, and sent a maid to find out about Ye Mian, but she roughly guessed the reason. For a while, she was afraid that his father would sue his brother, and at the same time, she rubbed her hands excitedly. hand, ready to empty out his father's small coffers.

His mother was right, he was not Ye Jing.

On the second day, Ye Mian went to school as usual, and hadn't seen Zhuang Jue in the yard for several days, but Wei Angyuan, who was limping with his hands on his butt, came suddenly.

Ye Mian and the others hurriedly ordered the servant boy to fold several layers of fur cushions on his seat, and then helped him to sit down, and Qi asked, "You are not so quick yet, why are you here?"

Wei Angyuan let out a "hiss" after sitting down, and then snorted: "I lie on my stomach all day in the mansion, it's very boring, and you don't want to visit me..."

Ye Mian was taken aback, "Didn't you forbid me to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"If I don't let you come, you won't come? I haven't seen you in the past, and I listen to everything," Wei Angyuan said unwillingly, "My second brother also said that brother Jing didn't move anymore because of this estrangement from him. You Is it the same?"

Before Ye Mian could speak, Li Zhaoheng, who was sitting on the desk beside him, said with a smile: "If he can't, brother Mian will not be as righteous as brother Jing. This person is blessed to enjoy it alone, and he will catch us when disaster strikes." Block together."

Ye Mian bared his teeth and kicked him lightly, "It's not over for you!"

"What?" Wei Angyuan asked with a smile.

Li Zhao jumped down and hugged Wei Angyuan's neck and complained: "Angyuan, I don't know if you haven't come these days, Brother Mian and his father have lifted the restrictions on his money, and now he can freely pay the money in the servant's mansion. Hua, I borrowed thousands of 800 taels from him, but he refused, do you think this person is very disloyal!"

Wei Angyuan turned his head to look at Ye Mian, shocked: "Your father doesn't limit your money?" Then he frowned and said: "My father just reduced my monthly expenses..."

Ye Mian ignored Wei Angyuan first, and said to Li Zhao with a tiger face, "Why didn't you tell Angyuan why I didn't lend you money, and what is your money going to be used for?"

Wei Angyuan looked at Ye Mian, frowned and said, "Brother Zhao, what stupid thing did you do again?"

Ye Mian snorted angrily: "He has been dragged by Qi Ye to hang out with that Ding Huai every day these days, what kind of low-class character is that Ding Huai, we have no time to hide, but he just slaps him Go up, you ask him! What kind of dirty world has he gone to when he left school for the past few days?"

Li Zhao didn't expect that Ye Mian would have a fight with him in the school, so his face turned red and he groaned for a few times but didn't say anything. Seeing that everyone in the school room was secretly looking at him, he said "huh" heavily. With a cry, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Ruan Yunsheng panicked and called out the window: "The bell is about to ring, where are you going?"

Ye Mian scolded: "Leave him alone! There are a lot of good things to say, but he can't hear them, and I can't hear them if I just tell him one bad thing!"

Wei Angyuan frowned and said, "After school, let's go talk to Qi Ye."

Ye Mian rolled up his sleeves angrily, "What are you talking about? I'll beat him up first, shameless! It's a shame he kidnapped Brother Zhao to make trouble."

Ruan Yunsheng laughed at the side, "You can change it, don't always hit people in the face, the little county king next door is afraid to come to school even now."

"Huh?" Wei Angyuan's face brightened, "You went to avenge me?"

"Ah?" Ye Mian was taken aback, then nodded and said: "Ah, yes! He offended you, I have to make him suffer, and now he is also hurt, this time the matter will be over, You can't go to trouble him again."

Wei Angyuan snorted, "Really?"

Ye Mian turned around and told Mo Shi, "Go and invite Lu Lizheng from the next door, and just say that I have something to ask him."

Mo Shi hurriedly ran out in response, and led Lu Lizheng back with drooping eyes after a while.

"Brother Mian, are you calling me?"

Ye Mian coughed and asked him, "How is your county king injured?"

"You still know how to ask." Lu Lizheng rolled Ye Mian's eyes, and said unwillingly, "The corner of your mouth is hurt badly, why are you still biting?"

Wei Angyuan, Ruan Yunsheng and the others all gasped and looked at Ye Mian.

Ye Mian widened his eyes, and said with a guilty conscience: "You... what nonsense are you talking about, I was a little bit harsher, and I broke the person, who bit him?"

Lu Lizheng snorted, turned his head away, and muttered, "Such a heavy hand!"

Ye Mian was not happy anymore, "You protect him, I bought candied haws all winter for nothing, you little white-eyed wolf!"

"Who's looking like a wolf?"

"You!" Ye Mian scolded angrily: "Why, did he speak ill of me to you? These days, I get a bad face whenever I see it."

"So what?" Lu Lizheng poked his neck and said, "You've beaten people to pieces. If you can't do it, my brother Zhuang Jue said that this is you. Brother Sui chopped it up and fed it to the dogs."

Lu Lizheng said this very bluntly, Ye Mian just frowned, Wei Angyuan got angry first, pointed at him and said angrily: "If you keep talking, I'll chop you up and feed it to the dogs!"

Lu Lizheng shrunk his neck, then stood up, his eyes were red, and said angrily: "You people in the capital are really domineering, you only work together to bully us without parents here!" Then he looked at Ye Mian , pursed his mouth and said: "The eldest princess and the son-in-law have already set off from Jinling. When she comes, let's see if you dare to bully my brother Zhuang Jue!"

Ye Mian was startled, could it be that because he hurt Zhuang Jue, his family called on him?
