school days in ancient times

It is late autumn, the season when everything is withered, and the few old trees in front of the window of Xiurui Academy have already been destroyed by Xiao Su's autumn wind. .

In the school room, the mathematics teacher, Dr. Cao, was explaining to the students how to solve the problems before giving a lecture. Ye Mian, who had already memorized those equations by heart, was sitting there bored, with his chin resting on one hand, watching Looking at the clouds outside in the sky, Yunshu was in a daze.

Weiwei opened his mouth and yawned, just thinking about holding up a sign, pretending to go out and wander around to relieve his sleepiness in the afternoon, he saw a young man in brocade clothes running towards the base of the school building like a thief with his waist down.

Lu Lizheng hid under the window where Ye Mianlin was sitting, raised his face and "hissed" at him twice.

After receiving the signal, Ye Mian quickly raised a greeting card with the teaching assistant.

"What's the matter?" Ye Mian asked him after the two entered the clean room.

Lu Lizheng dragged him and asked with a sad face, "Brother Mian, do you know that something happened to my brother Zhuang Sui again?"

Ye Mian frowned and sighed softly in his heart, since Zhuang Yu "broke his leg" and Zhuang Jue didn't come to school for several days, he knew that this person would be punished for this matter .

"What's the matter, speak slowly."

Lu Lizheng glanced at Ye Mian, and asked him, "Brother Zhuang Yu's leg didn't fall, did you know?"

Ye Mian nodded, "You guessed it, but the eldest princess punished him again?"

Lu Lizheng shook his head, "It's fine if it's just a punishment, but this time it alarmed the palace. The empress dowager was furious and called the eldest princess into the palace to reprimand him, and detained Zhuang Jue in the Huaxi Palace where the princess lived before her wedding. Here, order him to think about his mistakes all day long, and he is not allowed to step out of the palace."

Ye Mian was taken aback when he heard this, "How could this disturb the palace? Usually, both of them and the brothers made more trouble, and there was no movement in the palace."

"Usually, it's all happening in our Jinling. Good and bad things can't go far. Now it's in Beijing, so it's not so easy to hide it. Besides..." Lu Lizheng sighed softly when he said this, and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhuang Sui is really in a hurry this time."

"What's up with him?"

"Brother Zhuang Jue..." Lu Lizheng paused for a moment and continued: "Brother Zhuang Jue went to find Brother Zhuang Yu's bad luck that night, Zhuang Yu used his old tricks to hide with his son-in-law, but Brother Zhuang Jue took him with him. The man rushed straight into the son-in-law's study, ordered someone to break brother Zhuang Yu's leg in front of the son-in-law, and the son-in-law was so angry that he coughed up a mouthful of blood on the spot."

Ye Mian's breathing was stagnant, he opened his mouth in disbelief, and said after a long time: "Since the son-in-law is present, why don't people stop him?"

Lu Lizheng whispered: "In the past, most of the Princess Manor only listened to the orders of the Eldest Princess. Later, when Brother Zhuang Jue grew up, it was the Princess and him. Brother Zhuang Jue came to the capital for almost a year, and the Princess will be in the capital. All the people in the village were given to him. Now in this capital, even if the princess gives orders, the news has to go to my brother Zhuang Jue for a while. It's a joke for him to issue orders in front of the county king to stop his people..." Lu Lizheng muttered.

Ye Mian was stunned when he heard that, people at this time value fatherly kindness, son filial piety, brothers and brothers respectful, it would be a joke in their house, no wonder the empress dowager was so furious, she wanted to call the princess into the palace to reprimand her... ..

"How about Zhuang Jue in the palace, is there any more trouble?"

Lu Lizheng shook his head, "I'm afraid there's going to be trouble, but I haven't heard of it yet. I've been torturing my uncle for two days, and he agreed to go to the palace today to help me find out."

Ye Mian felt uneasy after returning to the school room from the clean room. Now one of the two brothers is locked up in the palace and thinks about it, and the other is recuperating at home with a broken leg. The calm before the storm is unsettling.

Sure enough, two days later, as soon as he entered the school room in the morning, he saw Zhuang Yu sitting behind his seat and looking at him with a smile. The shield, with a look of surprise.

"Why, did I scare you?" Zhuang Yu said with a chuckle, "What's the matter, don't just break your leg, or he picked up your hamstring, as long as you don't bleed all the blood, I can rest for two days. will come."

Ye Mian shook his head, but did not speak to the lunatic.

Zhuang Yu didn't seem to mind, Ye Mian didn't talk to him, and he didn't take the initiative to provoke him, he just studied hard every day, and changed his gloomy appearance in Xiunanyuan, always with a little smile on his face It means that the students of Xiurui Academy were beaten by Xingsi Pavilion because of their group, and now except for Wei Angyuan and the others, they can get along with him, so Zhuang Yu seems to be living very happily in Xiurui Academy.

But Ye Mian deeply felt Zhuang Yu's sense of powerlessness. This Zhuang Yu is like a snake, both sinister and poisonous. If he stares at you, he will entangle you. As long as you don't kill him, he will always It wraps around you little by little, making you unable to breathe.

Every day Ye Mian sat in the school room and could feel the burning sensation on his back. He wanted to have an attack several times, but he clenched his fists and endured it. If you can't kill him completely, he will go crazy endlessly by holding on to him.

If he is impulsive, he will definitely fall into the insidious trap he designed.

Ye Mian looked preoccupied, Ye Shilang naturally wanted to ask, Ye Mian was half lying on his father's huanghuali wood desk, holding a thin silver pick to play with the lantern, the candlelight reflected on his face It flickered, and after thinking for a long time, he reluctantly said: "Then Zhuang Yu is studying in our yard now, I don't like it."

Ye Shilang frowned and asked urgently: "Did he provoke you again?"

Ye Mian shook his head, "No, I avoid him."

Ye Shilang breathed a sigh of relief, and said dissatisfiedly, "Why are you hiding from him?"

Ye Mian curled her lips, "We have a feud, he... must have malicious intentions."

"What do you care about his intentions?" Ye Shilang snorted heavily, "You just care about yourself sitting upright, if he is good, you are good, if he is not good, you go and tell the teacher and me , usually very clever, why did he act like he was swallowing his anger this time?"

Ye Mian shook his head, frowned and argued, "It's not that I want to shrink back, it's just that he..."

"It doesn't matter what kind of person he is," Ye Shilang waved his hand to interrupt him, "I'm just telling you the truth, when you encounter troubles on weekdays, you either run amok or run away, just ignore it, it's settled It sounds like it’s not due to scheming, but if it’s ugly, it’s lack of heart, and it’s because we protect you too much on weekdays.” Ye Shilang sighed, “You can only meet a few people in school, if you go out in the future If you become an official in the temple after learning from Guozi, it’s still the same way, and sooner or later those people outside will gnaw you to the bone!”

Ye Mian hung his head down in the study and was scolded by Ye Shilang for half an hour. Although he was scolded in the end and had a small fight with his father, he woke up and was relieved of his previous depression.

It is really stupid to let a humble person stir up chaos, and lose his mind to study in his own territory. No wonder his father scolded him severely.

After going to school the next day, when Zhuang Yu's non-negligible gaze fixed on him again, Ye Mian turned his head and looked straight back.

Zhuang Yu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "It's a pity, I thought I could stick with you like this for a few days." After thinking for a while, he said, "Well, I think about me all day and night, it feels good ?”

Ye Mian ignored him.

When he came back from lunch in the afternoon, he happened to see several servant boys helping him to sit down. Zhuang Yu seemed to have stepped on a sore spot with his feet several times, and his forehead was dripping with sweat from the pain.

Ye Mian leaned on the desk, looked at him and sneered, "Why are you doing this?"

Zhuang Yu wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, looked at him with a light smile and said, "I have to look at you to feel at ease, and him to burn my heart day by day. Thinking about it this way makes me feel pain and also very happy. It would be better if he could die."

Ye Mian frowned incomprehensibly.

Seeing him like this, Zhuang Yu smiled and explained to him earnestly: "If I die, no matter where he flees for the rest of his life, he will be charged with murdering his brother. I just close my eyes and I will be able to haunt you." Isn't his whole life easier than it is now?"

"However..." Zhuang Yu changed the subject, tilted his head and said, "Now I don't want to force him to kill me. Although my life is not as precious as his, I want to keep it. I took him before There is no other way to think of such a bad plan, now that we have you," Zhuang Yu smiled happily, "He is so easy to handle, maybe he will be pissed off by the two of us first."

Ye Mian doesn't know if Zhuang Jue will be mad at him in the future, but it's true that this man is getting angry now.

Ye Mian held the letter Lu Lizheng handed to him in the clean room, and sighed heavily. There were only eight large characters on the letter, "Don't let him wait for me to go back." You can see the man's resentment when he wrote these words.

Ye Mian frowned and asked Lu Lizheng, "Has he really not eaten for a few days?"

Lu Lizheng nodded, "It's a terrible commotion, but the empress dowager said that she would discipline him for the eldest princess. No matter how much brother Zhuang Sui made a fuss, she refused to let him go out of the palace, and even said that he would be left to study in the palace from now on. Learn, avoid Zhuang Yu, and don't allow him to come to Guozixue to study again."

Ye Mian was taken aback for a moment, and then he said angrily, "How come all the mistakes made by the whole family are made on him alone?"
