school days in ancient times

The two brothers Ye Mian and Ye Jing fed each other a jar of sour vinegar, and now his brother straightened it out, Ye Mian was as embarrassed as a quail for a while, but his brother was still talking and laughing freely, leading him Play all the way back to Beijing.

Ye Jing's case at Shangyin's side is over, so the return journey is not as rushed as when he went there. This time he came out because Ye Mian had already agreed to take him out to play, so the two discussed with each other and made a choice. There are several states and counties that I am interested in, eating and shopping all the way, stopping and resting and playing all the way, and I turned back to the capital after a long circle.

After returning to the mansion, Ye Jing only changed her clothes and had no time for lunch, so she was coaxed away by the master secretary of Dali Temple who was so anxious that she begged her grandpa to sue her grandma, so the Qiu family only caught Ye Mian, He scratched his ears and scolded him.

"You two don't worry!" Qiu said bitterly: "Your grandfather's letter arrived early, according to the full calculation of the sky, you should return home five or six days ago, are you trying to kill your mother in a hurry? "

Ye Mian smiled and hugged Qiu Shi's arm for a while, taking all the faults on himself, saying that he was just playing around with his brother and took him to play a few more places, Qiu Shi saw her two This child has deep brotherhood and love, and he is happy in his heart, but he is not forgiving on his mouth. He gave a light "bai" and said angrily: "You don't care about him, I can't spare anyone! When he comes back from the government, I will tell him to go. !"

Ye Mian didn't refute her, but just told her mother everything about Shangyin's ancestral home in detail, to make her happy.

After Ye Mian returned home, he only rested for a day and a half, and the Guozi School started in autumn.

Ye Mian went to the school before dawn, and Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites sent several officials down to lead all the students to offer sacrifices to the heaven and earth at the time of dawn, and bowed down to the holy image in the square in front of Jixian Gate After lecturing them solemnly, Ye Mian raised the character from "Qi" to "Xiu".

The two plaques on the gate of the courtyard by the lake were also replaced by Xiurui Yuan and Xiunan Yuan, which had been prepared earlier. Ye Mian returned to the school room and took off the red Papilio vine wood bracelet, and exchanged it with his classmates. Si Zheng, who was sent by Yu Jiaoyuan, put on an ebony bracelet that symbolized his identity as a calligraphy student.

All the princes in the room were looking at the freshness of the bracelets in their hands, arguing that it would be better to wear them than the red one, Ye Mian sat by the window and raised his wrist to look at the sun, but At a glance, I saw the students from Xiunan College file into the next room. They still wore the same hair and silver crowns on their heads, but the rubies the size of copper coins on them had turned into sapphires.

Ye Mian couldn't help "hissing", and some students in Xiurui Academy looked at it, but they were quicker than Ye Mian, and said sourly: "Okay! It's not fun to change the color of the jewel on the head. Let's change it." This sandalwood bracelet is as fresh as this, but let’s not talk about it, it’s so close that people can’t hear it.”

Everyone in Xiurui Yuan looked out, and sneered sourly at the nouveau riche, but secretly resented that they were compared by the other side again...

Seeing them secretly fighting each other, Ye Mian couldn't help feeling amused, and quickly asked the servant boy to give them a share of the special food he brought back from Shangyin, and the room became lively again, and everyone gathered around to ask him about the journey. Scenery and interesting things, Ye Mian was talking to them in detail, and at the same time ordered the servant boy to pack a few bags of these to the next room and send them to the next room. He also knew that Ye Mian had a good relationship with that house, so he didn't say anything.

Ye Mian was sitting cross-legged on the desk, telling them anecdotes about him catching birds and hunting rabbits on Shangyin Mountain, but he sent many servants to the next room, all holding tall Stack plum blossoms and black lacquer boxes.

All the students in Xiurui Academy got a box for each of them. Ye Mian opened it and saw that there were many styles of Nanbian dim sum in it, all of which were extremely delicate, such as hibiscus cake, crabapple cup, goose oil pastry, lotus seed snowflake roll, and a small cup in the middle. Sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus steamed crispy cheese, it looks like it was prepared early today.

Everyone in the Xiurui Academy couldn't help clicking their tongues, saying: "Fortunately Brother Mian brought some outside food and sent it over first, otherwise people would say that we have no manners."

Ye Mian saw that the dim sum was exquisitely made, so he picked a few pieces into his mouth, but the more he ate, the more he couldn't stop. He likes the aroma of sesame seeds, and the dim sum here is all ground into finely ground sesame seeds, and he ate deliciously. However, the others were not used to it, so after trying two, they threw it aside, only saying that they didn't like the Nantou dim sum, it was so fragrant and greasy.

Wen Xun held a piece of dim sum, frowned and said doubtfully, "I've been to Jinling, and that dim sum doesn't taste like that..."

Ye Mian puffed up his cheeks and stopped chewing. After thinking for a while, he looked out the window at the next room.

Wei Angyuan, who had always been familiar with Ye Mian's taste, turned his head and stared at Ye Mian, and said bitterly: "What are you looking at, can't you be bribed for a few pieces of cake? That scheming ghost is used to using this little trick to plot, it's really treacherous!"

Ye Mian: "..."

After returning to the mansion after school, Ye Mian took out a delicate flower paper invitation card from his book bag and sent it to Bihua Pavilion. Everyone in Xiunan Academy has a copy.

After the eldest princess moved to Beijing, she held a hibiscus flower banquet for the first time in the princess mansion. Many princes and marquises were invited. Naturally, all the mansions wanted to show respect, but I didn’t expect that the princess manor would also invite all the students who studied in the same yard as King Rongnan. Going to play, Ye Mian was ashamed to say that the big battle was for him, but he didn't dare to hide it, and sent the invitation to Bihua Pavilion for his brother to have a look.

Before going to bed at night, Bihua Pavilion sent a girl to pass a message to Ye Mian, and said: "The eldest young master said, this time, the fourth young master can go to the banquet with his classmates, don't think too much."

Ye Mian didn't find it strange after hearing this. His brother took advantage of that incident a few days ago to beat Zhuang Jue. Don't take advantage of the power of the Princess Mansion to act recklessly, but not to make the Shilang Mansion and the Princess Mansion feud. After that, Zhuang Yu and Zhuang Jue had a quarrel because of that incident, and they were more or less punished. Naturally, his brother would not stop the eldest princess from seeing him again, otherwise he would really be disrespectful. It's not easy for the saint to explain.

Because the students of Guozixue were invited, the eldest princess set the day of the hibiscus flower feast on the ten-day holiday of Guozixue.

It was early that morning.

Ye Mian stood in front of the mirror and slightly opened his mouth and yawned. He raised his hand and let the maids busy dressing him, and the boss complained unwillingly: "I can't sleep on the bed for a good ten-day vacation. I want to get up and go to some kind of flower banquet, who doesn't have any flowers, who cares to go to their house to see?"

The maids all knew that they were still angry after getting up, and they didn't answer the conversation, they just pursed their lips and smiled while busying him.

Ye Mian kept on talking for a while, the waiters finished dressing him up with the jade pendant, sachet and other accessories, and the others also woke up, and looked in the mirror, the young man in the mirror was full of clothes with wide sleeves and robes Pian Pian, although her clothes are light in color, she wears a jade tablet in the shape of a beast that looks like dripping emerald green on her body. She is not ordinary at first glance, and her jet-black hair like a crow's feathers is also bundled in a jade crown and draped behind her back. Getting angry for no reason, the corners of his eyes and brows are vivid, but he looks like a delicate young man who is not easy to serve.

After Ye Mian had his meal, he took a few servants to the princess mansion. Now the gate of Princess Rongyi is no longer as quiet as it was on the day of Qixi Lanye. The BMW cars of the mansion are lined up from the street here to the end of the alley.

Before Yefu's car could drive to the main gate, it was led directly to the back gate by Zhuang Jue's private guard who was waiting far away.

After Ye Mian got off the carriage, he was taken by the private guard to the courtyard of King Rongnan County. Zhuang Jue was standing in front of the courtyard waiting for him. Seeing him coming from a distance, he looked him up and down several times. There was a trace of undisguised surprise in his eyes.

Ye Mian made him feel terrified, and glared at him, "Haven't you seen it before?"

Zhuang Jue chuckled, but didn't speak, just gently took his hand and led him into the yard.

Seeing him bypassing the hall of the main house, Ye Mian only dragged him around the corridor, and asked strangely, "Where do you want to take me? This is the second time I come back to your house, so I won't stay in the hall." Have you greeted me for tea? What kind of hospitality does your princess mansion have?"

Zhuang Jue didn't make any excuses, and just took him to a side house to stop. The windows on both sides of the house were tightly closed, and the window screens were replaced before autumn, and snow-white window paper was pasted on them.

Ye Mian looked at him strangely, if he was not familiar with him a few months ago, he would have thought that this person was going to kill and rob him and bring him here to kill him.

Zhuang Jue pushed open the door and led him into the room. Ye Mian felt a rush of hot air, mixed with a faint fishy smell. When he went in, he saw that the window was not only pasted with window paper, but also hung with curtains inside. There are braziers at the four corners, and candles are lit everywhere.

It's no wonder it's not hot, Ye Mian felt unwell and was about to leave when he heard a few "chirp chirp chirp chirp" sounds from the northwest corner of the room, not loud but very clear.

Ye Mian was taken aback.

Zhuang Jue walked over and showed him the rattan basket on the short table as if offering a treasure. Ye Mian looked down through the light, but it was a newborn chick, a small one, with a bald fluff on its body. Yu Duwu, his eyes still haven't opened, he just lay on the bed and screamed with his mouth open.

Ye Mian opened his mouth, and asked in disbelief, "Is this the egg of the crested parrot?"

Zhuang Jue gave a "huh" and said softly: "The shell just broke yesterday. I sent someone to find someone who can raise birds. The man said that he would be able to open his eyes in a few days."

Ye Mian looked at him in disbelief, but didn't expect Zhuang Jue to be able to hatch this fetal egg, so he asked him a little funny, "How did you hatch it? Someone found a brooding hen No?"

Zhuang Jue shook his head, "The servant said it wasn't his egg, and he used that thing for fear that the idiot would peck it restlessly." Zhuang Jue raised his chin toward the middle of the room, motioning Ye Mian to look.

Ye Mian turned his head, and saw a square copper tripod with four corners in the middle of the room, a brazier below it had been extinguished, and there was water in the tripod, and a metal shelf was suspended above the tripod, covered with several layers of thick cotton mat.

Ye Mian murmured in his heart, this delicate work would take a lot of effort, and the heat could not be controlled well, so he directly grilled the eggs.

Zhuang Jue drew his attention back again, moved the basket to his eyes, and asked him expectantly, "Does it look good?"

Ye Mian swallowed her saliva, searched around in her stomach, but couldn't find any words to praise the beauty of this sharp-mouthed, hairless little bald man, so she just smiled dryly, "It's beautiful."

Zhuang Jue smiled with satisfaction, stroked the little baldy's wings with his fingertips as gently as possible, and said proudly: "It looks better than the little bird we saw in Shangyin."

Ye Mian couldn't hold back her laughter, "Are you serious?"

Zhuang Jue looked at him and nodded seriously, and said arrogantly: "I take it seriously, and what I like is naturally good-looking."

Ye Mian was stunned for a while, then turned his eyes and said unwillingly: "...Why do I feel that you are scolding me?"
