school days in ancient times

Although the origin of blood jade is evil, it is the most precious of all corpse jade, otherwise one or two pieces of this world would attract people to scramble for them, so Zhuang Yu sent these blood rabbits to Lai and Ye Mian's methods are really chicken thieves, making people unable to grasp his fault.

But this time, Ye Jing refused to take this matter lightly. Since that night, Ye Mian was detained in the yard, and he was not allowed to go to school. He just wanted to let him stay at home before the Chongyang New Year exam. Wen Shu, don't go out and ask questions.Ye Jing's attitude of wanting to fight the princess mansion scared Ye Mian enough, and secretly sent Feng Jin to the prime minister's mansion to inquire with Wei Angyuan, but was discovered by his elder brother's people, who stopped him and locked him up. Ye Jing also slapped Ye Mian fiercely after returning home at night.

Ye Mian didn't dare to make a fuss anymore, so he simply settled down and studied hard in Yaohuixuan.

On the eve of the Double Ninth Festival, Ye Mian was finally released from the Imperial College Examination. When he arrived at the school, he hurriedly inquired with his brothers, but they didn’t know much. They only said that Ye Mian was summoned by the Princess Mansion twice, but Ye Jing He refused straight away. Two days ago, the Empress Dowager Chuan Yi ordered Ye Mian to enter the palace. Ye Jing even blocked him because he was unwell, and didn't show any kindness. Therefore, although this matter is not big, it is solid. After going to the imperial court, even Wei Angyuan couldn't figure out what the Holy Majesty's decision was.

Li Zhaokuan caressed him and said, "It's good to take the exam with your heart, brother Jing will definitely not suffer any disadvantages."

Ruan Yunsheng also nodded, "No matter how violent Zhuang Jue was, the imperial concubine, and the fifth prince had a fight before, it was still a family matter. Even if there were several incidents of human life, the emperor would just reprimand him, but this time the people from the princess mansion went to the courtier's house to make trouble. However, the saint cannot be underestimated, especially brother Jing, the saint values ​​him the most, and the saint is not happy to mention that he is not good in front of him on weekdays. Bitch!"

Ye Mian wasn't particularly worried about Ye Jing, his brother was very measured and rarely got caught up in others' criticisms, so he was relieved to hear that his brother brought this matter up to the imperial court, thinking that his brother wanted to take advantage of it Play to beat the princess house.

Ye Mian secretly heaved a sigh of relief, they won't cause any serious problems if they fight clearly, as long as they don't wrestle secretly with Zhuang Jue, the two of them are more vicious than the other when they play yin...

Ye Mian was so relieved that he could go to the exam with Qirui Academy drawing lots with peace of mind. He studied very hard at home these days, so the first day's literary exam went smoothly. After getting a first class, Ye Mian was so happy that when he returned home, he jumped to ask his father to ask for credit. Although Ye Shilang disliked it, he turned around and asked people to send him many interesting gadgets.

After hearing this, Mrs. Qiu didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and complained to the mother beside her, "Why does my son know how to study hard as soon as he has it in his hands? Is it true that I don't know how to raise children?"

The nanny comforted her and said, "Ma'am, you've overthought. The fourth young master was late to enlighten, so it just happened that the master caught up with him."

Qiu thought for a while and let out a soft "Bah", and said angrily, "Let him pick up all the good things, and I may be so proud of him when I come back later!"

The mother said with a smile: "We are all a family, why should madam be angry with the master, our fourth young master is promising, we should be happy."

Qiu Shi nodded, cheered up and ordered his servants to stew bird's nest cups for his youngest son to drink.

Ye Mian took the riding and archery test on the second day, and went to the school early in the morning wearing riding clothes. The Qinan Court drew lots in front of them, but Ye Mian never saw Zhuang Jue. Nahan asked, "Why didn't the king of Rongnan come?" take an exam?"

Wei Angyuan said: "He didn't come to school these few days."

Ye Mian asked in shock: "What's wrong with him, he didn't even come for the annual exam?"

Wei Angyuan shrugged his shoulders, and said coldly: "I don't know, it's better to die, and don't come back after it's over."

Ye Mian gave a "tsk", "...You are young, don't lie about ostomy."

Wei Angyuan snorted and said nothing more.

Ye Mian returned to the mansion early after the exam, because tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival, the servants are busy planting dogwood everywhere in the mansion, pasting chrysanthemum branches and leaves on the doors and windows, begging for "elimination of evil and evil, and auspiciousness" ", he changed his clothes and had fun with the maids in the yard for a while, and clumsily cut some ribbons out, but was pushed out by several people.

"Fourth young master, don't mess with us here. Now that you are on autumn vacation, the master finally allowed you to take it easy, and why don't you go out and play?"

Ye Mian sniffed and went to the main courtyard, his mother would never get tired of him.

How could Mrs. Qiu get bored with him, when he saw him coming, he just hugged him and rubbed him, and asked someone to pound the most juicy autumn pears to make water for him to drink.

Ye Mian was drinking pear juice to moisten his throat, but Jiang Nanchu led a group of ladies and maidservants here, and after greeting Qiu Shi, he said to Ye Mian with a smile, "Go to Yaohuixuan to find you. People say that you came to my mother, and I knew why I had to make such a big detour."

Ye Mian and the maids helped Jiang Shi to sit down together. Although his sister-in-law has not yet shown her pregnancy, she is very precious. She usually stands up, sits and lies down, and the maids and women all stare at her intently.

Qiu said angrily: "If you want to find him, just call someone to invite him. Why have you walked so many roads by yourself? How far is his Yaohui Pavilion from your Bihua Pavilion!"

Jiang Shi and Qiu Shi coquettishly said: "Mother, I've been lying in bed all day long, and if I don't move any more, my bones will become soft."

Qiu Shi shook her head and quickly asked the servant girl to knead her for a while.

"Sister-in-law, are you looking for something for me?" Ye Mian asked.

"I brought flower cakes for you, a greedy cat," Jiang said with a smile.

The mother-in-law behind Jiang quickly stepped forward with a smile and placed the food box in her hand on the red sandalwood tea table beside Ye Mian. Inside was a large plate of nine-layer Chongyang cake, covered with a thick layer of crushed dates and chestnuts. Yellow and pomegranate seeds were decorated with some red and green preserved fruit shreds and sweet-scented osmanthus flowers. There was also a circle of small colored flags on the cake, with two lambs printed on it, which means "Chongyang".

This cake is steamed from glutinous rice flour and red bean flour mixed with honey. As soon as the lid of the food box was opened, the room was full of fragrance. Ye Mian directly picked up a chestnut and stuffed it into his mouth. The handkerchief wiped his hands.

Jiang Nanchu smiled and said, "Take it away and cut it off for this greedy cat, I'm going to bite my finger in a while."

Qiu Shi nodded and praised: "This cake is well made, which dress is it?"

Jiang Nanchu replied with a smile: "It's a Double Ninth Festival gift from my mother's house, but my mother specially asked me to give this Double Ninth cake to my brother Mian. Although I don't know what will happen in the future, it's also a 'high school' prize. "

Qiu said happily: "It's hard for your mother to always miss him."

"Where is the mother, brother Qin also gave you a lot of good things, and he steamed one of the Chongyang cakes alone, but the child doesn't like sweets, so he wants to use the shredded duck and mutton to make it into the cake." Salty."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a while, seeing that everyone was almost there, Mrs. Qiu decided to keep them for dinner in the main courtyard. Jiang Nanchu sent a woman to guard the gate of Bihua Pavilion. When the young master came back, he directly led people here.

After Ye Jing and Ye Shilang came back, the family enjoyed dinner together, but after the meal, Ye Jing told Qiu Shi that she wanted to take Ye Mian to Shangyin's ancestral home tomorrow.

Qiu was stunned for a long time, and asked him, "Why do you suddenly think of going to your grandfather's place?"

Ye Jing smiled, "Tomorrow is Chongyang, mother should have gone back to my grandfather's house to have a look, but because Shangyin is far away from the capital, mother hasn't been back for many years, it just so happened that brother Mian's school is on autumn vacation, I have to be free these days, but I can take him back to fulfill my filial piety for my mother, and step on the mountains and rivers along the way, Brother Mian worked hard a few days ago, and took him loose."

How could Mrs. Qiu disagree? If it wasn't for the fact that the eldest daughter-in-law was pregnant, she would have wished to go back with her, so she only complained to him, "Why didn't you tell me earlier, you are leaving tomorrow, where am I going to save those rituals tonight?" go."

Mrs. Jiang hurriedly said: "Mother, don't worry, these days our family and our Bihua Pavilion have received a lot of filial piety from the people below, and it would not be ugly if we put it all together, we just ask the servants to pack the boxes and cages overnight tonight." yes."

But Ye Shilang frowned and said, "Brother Mian's autumn vacation is cheap, how can you leave Dali Temple for so long?"

Ye Jing said with a smile: "Father, don't worry, there happened to be a case near Shangyin in Dali Temple. I have returned to Shangfeng truthfully today, and brought my brother back to Shangyin to visit relatives to close the case. Shangfeng has already agreed."

Only then did Ye Shilang nod his head reassuringly, and told him: "You have worked really hard these past few years, so it's good to have a chance to go out and relax, but when you come to your grandfather's house, you must take good care of Mian'er, and don't call him naughty." "Ye Shilang looked at Qiu who was spinning anxiously and sighed: "You should also do your filial piety for me and your mother, and tell them that when your child is born next year, I will personally take your mother back to see them .”

Ye Jing quickly responded.

Ye Mian was eating flower cakes beside him, his eyes rolled around but he didn't dare to say a word, he was afraid that if he said something wrong, his father would be displeased, and the old man would not allow him to go out to play again.

After finally getting separated here, Ye Mian hurried back to Yaohuixuan, ordered the maids to pack his luggage for him, and asked repeatedly to bring the new clothes that the sewing room had recently brought to him.

People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, and now he is getting better and better, wearing good clothes, relying on his youth and tender face, he may be able to "overwhelm" his brother......

The maids were all taken aback, and hurriedly put away his clothes and personal accessories. Bao Nian hurriedly asked: "Why didn't the young master tell you earlier, how could he tidy up this night?"

Bao Nian complained so casually, Ye Mian felt strange after thinking about it, his eldest brother has always done things properly, how come this time he didn't even give Qiu's spare time to prepare for etiquette.

The maids were busy running around in the room, their noses were sweating, Ye Mian didn't obstruct their eyes, and hid in the yard to play with the raccoon, but when he looked up, he saw many halos of lights in the yard next door.

Ye Mian was taken aback, since the mid-autumn festival, the yard over there has been dark and quiet these days, Ye Mian didn't find it strange, the eldest princess entered the capital, and the little county king naturally wanted to go back to the princess mansion, But why are the lights on there again today?

Ye Mian scratched his head, guessing wildly in his mind, did his brother already know that the yard over there was bought by Zhuang Jue?

So what are you doing tonight, are you taking him away?

As long as my brother runs fast enough, you can't catch up with him?

The author has something to say:

Regarding the blood jade, the previous chapter described only legends, so only the pedantic ancients believed it. The rumors have long since been dispelled in modern times. The blood jade in the tomb is generally the iron element in the soil or the iron material of the burial species that oxidizes and decomposes into the jade body. become.

However, there is no wind, no waves, and the blood jade is real, but it is very rare, and the tomb jade is easy to disappear with the blood color when unearthed, so there are almost none on the market.
