school days in ancient times

Ye Mianwan didn't expect that this person would stage a "carriage idiot" when he first arrived, so he took a bite out of him, and when he realized it, he punched him hard.

"Go to your uncle's moon! My leg was broken by you!" Ye Mian was so angry that he rushed to beat him.

Zhuang Jue was much stronger than him, so he used some ingenuity to stop him from hitting his face by holding his wrist, "Okay, don't make trouble, I will go to the palace to go upstairs to worship the moon soon, The imperial grandmother will ask again when she sees it."

Ye Mian paused for a moment, then glared at him and cursed: "Don't use your mother to suppress me! I don't believe her old man will let you be such a bastard!"

Zhuang Jue didn't care about Ye Mian's fighting with him at all, raised his hand to fasten the jade buttons on his narrow sleeves again, and coaxed: "Come with me to worship the moon in a while."

"Who wants to sacrifice to the moon with you?" Ye Mian asked with a frown, "Could it be possible that you beheaded the queen mother and invited the Queen Mother Yizhi?"

"I haven't, but the imperial grandmother would like to see you again," Zhuang Jue sat down next to him, and said as a matter of course: "Today's reunion night, I am your brother, so you naturally want to be with me."

"Why do you always talk to yourself? Why are you my brother? My brother is waiting for me to go back to have a family dinner at the servant's mansion!"

Zhuang Jue said indifferently: "He is your brother, and so am I. You called him that day."

Ye Mian choked, this rascal!

Zhuang Jue coaxed him for a while, how could Ye Mian leave his family and go out with him for a tryst on this day, but he finally refused.

Ye Mian knew Zhuang Jue's character, and thought that he would lose his temper or become impatient, but this man always had a smile on his lips, but it didn't seem fake. He was wondering when he heard the voice sitting on the shaft outside. Feng Jin whispered to him, "Master, we are here..."

The carriage stopped at the gate of the Minister's Mansion, and Ye Mian turned to Zhuang Jue, "Did your carriage follow? Or do you want me to let someone from the mansion take you back?"

Zhuang Jue shook his head and said, "No, I'm here too."

Ye Mian was taken aback, then frowned and said: "I didn't invite you to my house for a banquet, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, my brother and my father are here, don't make trouble..."

Zhuang Jue nodded obediently, "I'm not making trouble, it's just that I'm here," Zhuang Jue finished speaking, opened the curtain, and stretched out his finger to show him, "Look at the house next to your Minister's Mansion. The master moved away, and now I live there."

Ye Mian was stunned on the spot, and it took a long time before he said: "The next door is the councilor of Honglu Temple..." Ye Mian said anxiously: "What did you do to them, why don't you let go of my neighbors?" Pass!"

Seeing that he was in a hurry, Zhuang Jue explained: "I didn't do anything, I just gave them a lot of money."

"How many?"

Zhuang Jue thought for a while, and said seriously: "A lot."

Ye Mian choked out a breath, this person said a lot, so he couldn't buy half a street, no wonder Zuo Senju lived well next door, and suddenly the whole family moved away with a happy face, his father these two days Still muttering behind his back, "Is this going to be promoted? I haven't heard of it..."

Zhuang Jue looked at him and said: "The Yaohui Pavilion that your father gave you a few days ago is very good. It is only separated from my place by a wall. In the future, I will follow Ye Jing's example and open a moon gate on the wall... "

"You have less moths," Ye Mian said, holding his forehead, "We can't control the house you bought over there, but if you dare to break the wall, let alone open the moon gate, just dig a mouse hole, my father will give it to you." Block it."

After Ye Mian finished speaking, he didn't want to talk to him anymore, Mao got up and was about to get out of the carriage, but Zhuang Jue held his hand behind him.

"What are you doing?" Ye Mian bared his teeth fiercely.

"It doesn't matter if you don't invite me. How about I invite you to my house? After you have a feast with your family, stay with me for a while..."

"not good."

"You really can't be with me?" Zhuang Jue looked at him with a look of reluctance, "My mother and father will arrive in two days, and I will spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in the capital alone."

"Aren't you going to go to worship the moon with your grandmother and uncle Huang, why is there no one to accompany you?"

Zhuang Jue was finally unhappy, "I'm not going!"

"Do you want to go or not!" Ye Mian shook off his hand and jumped off the carriage.

After Ye Mian returned to the mansion, he changed his clothes and rushed to his grandmother's place. Ye's mansion, the children of the concubines and the aunts of each house were all dressed up and gathered in Shouyunzhai for a reunion dinner. , After the banquet, they worshiped the moon and prayed together in the garden led by the old lady.

On the confession, there were various reunion cakes and round melons and fruits. The old lady smiled and ate a couple of mouthfuls before sending them out to make trouble.

Ye Mian's concubine brothers proposed to go to his Yaohuixuan to make a fuss. The golden osmanthus trees there were just in bloom, and it was suitable to enjoy the moon under the tree and drink some osmanthus wine. He didn't invite them to have a drink, so he nodded and agreed happily.

Some of Ye Mian's concubines are still young, but they also want to follow. It's not easy for the aunts to follow, so I just sent a few more mothers and maids to follow, and kept telling me not to cry in Yaohuixuan .

On the osmanthus trees and under the eaves of Yaohuixuan, the maids have hung all kinds of colorful toad and rabbit lanterns. The candlelight shines brightly through the red silk colored silk outside, and the lights are flowing all over the courtyard, which is really beautiful.

Ye Mian is the owner of this yard, so he naturally wanted to entertain with all his heart, so he ordered the kitchen to set up another table, and because he wanted to enjoy the moon, he simply set up the table under the osmanthus tree by the pool.Without the elders watching, a group of people chatted and ate wine noisily, and played leaf cards for a while, until Haishi, when they were urged by the nanny sent by the Qiu family to break up.

Yao Huixuan fell silent for a while, Ye Mian stood on a high place and looked into the yard next door, he could see the halo of the lanterns in the yard over there, obviously he was also dressed up for the festival, but he often He listened with his ears pricked up, but he didn't hear any movement on the other end.

Ye Mian couldn't help wondering, did this person go to the palace, or did he just stay in the room all night and get angry with him...

After going to school the next day, Ye Mian still didn't see Zhuang Jue in the yard.

When eating at Cuihua Building at noon, Ruan Yunsheng suddenly looked at Ye Mian and said, "I inquired with people outside that the eldest princess' boat arrived early this morning, and the King of Rongnan County and the sixth prince have already brought people out of the city to meet her."

Ye Mian swallowed the food in her mouth and glanced at him, "Why are you telling me this?"

Ruan Yunsheng sighed: "The eldest princess is here, you can't act without manners, at least don't be caught by others."

Ye Mian snorted, "What is her family's etiquette? Her son's rules of conduct are etiquette?"

Ruan Yunsheng shook his head, but Li Zhao said from the side: "Yunsheng is right, a good man doesn't suffer from immediate losses."

Ruan Yunsheng nodded and said in a low voice: "The eldest princess was the most arrogant among all the princes and daughters before she became a consort. Her eyes have always been on the top of her head. At that time, the current emperor, who was still a prince, was even shorter in front of her. Half the head, and since Zhuang Jue was born, the eldest princess regarded him as a treasure, and taught him that he didn't need to look at others in Jinling since he was a child, but now Zhuang Jue's style in the capital for more than half a year is in the dark She is assigned, that is, entered the palace in the capital, except for the elders, she will never allow the dwarves of Zhuang Jue to take half of it."

Wei Angyuan also nodded and said: "Before you hurt him, I told my father that it was because of me. If the eldest princess really pursues it, my father will also protect you. You don't have to be afraid, but don't be casual in the future. Good job with him."

Ye Mian thought for a while, then nodded.

After school, Ye Mian took a shower and changed his clothes, and was studying hard in the study. The maids of Yaohuixuan were also very happy to see him willing to work hard, and gave him all kinds of snacks and tea.

Ye Mian has now gradually started to pick up the homework of Guozixue. After the Double Ninth Festival in a few days, he will have to "reveal" and "repair" characters. There will be a large-scale annual exam in the school. The list is not To send it to the Ministry of Rites, he really didn't dare to take a few more coins to embarrass his elder brother and his father.

His eyes were sore from reading, and he asked Baoxue to pick out a lantern for him. Yi Nong, who was going to Qiu's side, suddenly opened the door and came in, holding a red sandalwood box in his hand.

"What is it?" Ye Mian asked him, slightly opening his mouth and yawning.

Yinong smiled and said: "The Madam asked me to bring it back, she said it was sent by the Princess Mansion to the Fourth Young Master."

"Princess Mansion?" Ye Mian frowned, thinking, what is this Zhuang Jue doing, why did he send it to his mother?

Ye Mian took the box over and was about to flip the lid to open it, but saw that the box had been sealed tightly with wax paint, so he asked someone to take a knife to scrape off the wax paint before opening the box. A rabbit carved from jade, but this rabbit is made of red jade that is as red as blood.

Ye Mian hissed, although he had never seen this blood jade before, he had heard that it was an extremely rare thing, but looking at it this way, why is it so weird...

Seeing a piece of letter paper under the box, Ye Mian stretched out his hand to pick it up. There were only two characters on it, Zhuang Yu.

Zhuang Yu?What did Zhuang Jue's younger brother give him this thing for?

Ye Mian was standing there in a daze, when he heard a clear voice at the door, "What are you doing?"

Ye Mian raised his head, then bent his eyes and smiled, "Brother! Why are you here?"

Ye Jing hummed lightly, and said with a smile, "I'll come over to see you when I'm free." She glanced at the box in front of him again, and asked, "What is this?"

Ye Mian pushed the box over, scratched his head and said, "Look, it's from Zhuang Yu's younger brother Zhuang Yu..."

"Huh?" Ye Jing frowned and looked down, then reached out to close the lid of the box, and asked coldly, "When did you get it?"

"It was just delivered," Ye Mian replied obediently, "What's the matter, brother, but what's the problem?"

Ye Jing said coldly: "This blood jade is forcibly stuffed into the mouth of a dying person, and falls into the throat with the last breath. After being buried in the earth, it is soaked in dead blood. You are young, don't Get your hands on this."

Ye Mian was so frightened by his brother that his hairs stood on end, and he hurriedly threw the blood rabbit he had just picked up.

Ye Jing walked around the desk and embraced him in her arms, her brows were full of hostility, but her hand was gently stroking his back, and her mouth was soothing.
