school days in ancient times

Not long after the lunch break bell struck, the students rushed out from all the yards to the dining hall.

Young people are growing up, not hungry, Ye Mian and the others quickly put on cloaks and cloaks, and went to Cuihua Building.

There are two dining halls in Guozixue, one is the Cuihua Building where the children of Xungui go, and they have to pay a lot of food expenses every year, and the other is the Yueweitang where the sons of the common people go, and the meal expenses are uniformly allocated by the household department every year school.

The students of the two classes are quite distinct, and they never go to the dining hall opposite, including Ye Mian. Although he has no real class concept in his heart, he knows with the hair of his hair that the food in Yueweitang is different from that in Cuihualou. Heaven and earth.

After sitting down, a waiter brought over a lacquered wooden tray to serve dishes. Each person had four small portions of dishes and a cup of soup. There were vegetarian dishes, meat dishes, and river delicacies. The nutrition was balanced, and they would never repeat the same dishes within a ten-day period.

Today's dish is deer tendon in casserole, deep-fried quail, fish fillet in ginger sauce, cucumber in spare oil, and a pot of shredded chicken soup with oil skimmed off.

Ye Mian was so hungry that he was too sleepy to open his eyes in the morning, and he didn't eat the breakfast that Feng Jin made for him, so as soon as the little boy set out the food for him, he took the chopsticks and ate it first.

After several mouthfuls, his stomach warmed up before he raised his eyes, and saw Wei Angyuan and the others looking at him with disgust.

Ye Mian puffed his cheeks and chewed a few mouthfuls, swallowing the food in his mouth, "What are you looking at me for?"

Wei Angyuan clicked his tongue and asked him: "Aren't you tired of eating the meals in the school?"

"??? It's delicious"

Wei Angyuan muttered with an expression that you were hopeless: "You look like this, if you don't know it, you might think that the House of the Minister of the Household Department can't get rid of the pot."

Ye Mian: "..."

Ruan Yunsheng touched his chin: "Did you not eat breakfast again?"

Ye Mian nodded: "I got up too late, it was too late, I slept late last night, and I only lay down at midnight."

"My God!" Several people were shocked, "It's not good for your health if you do this, your mother doesn't care about your yard?"

Ruan Yunsheng thought for a while and asked again: "What are you busy with at night, the black paint is black."

Before Ye Mian could speak, Li Zhao sneered and said, "I see, could it be with some girl..."

"Oh?" Several people looked at each other ambiguously and laughed.

"Go and go, you know what a fart!" Ye Mian raised his hands impatiently, not all hairs had grown.

Li Zhao smirked: "Is this out of embarrassment? Then let me guess which one it is. I remember the last time I went to his mansion, there was a beautiful maid named Baohe who was very good-looking, with an oval face and cherry pink lips. …”

"Really?" Wen Xun asked anxiously.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Ye Mian gave Li Zhao a chopstick, "If you ruin the reputation of the girl in my house, you will be responsible if you can't find a good one in the future?"

Seeing that Ye Mian was a little anxious, the two of them gave up, but Wei Angyuan, who was silent all the time, said indifferently: "Since you think she is a good girl, you will be sent back to the house in two years, who are you afraid to say?"

Ye Mian couldn't reason with them, and was very tired, but he didn't want to entangle with them on this issue, so he glared at them and changed the subject, "Why don't you eat quickly? The food will be cold in a while."

A few people reluctantly picked up their chopsticks, but Wen Xun, who was sitting next to Ye Mian, nudged him with his elbow and motioned him to look back with his eyes.

Ye Mian turned his head away, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows, it turned out that those sick people from Qinan Yard came.

It was not because Ye Mian knew their appearance, but because the students from Jinling were different from them in their attire. They needed to wear wooden bracelets on their wrists, but the students from Jinling had to wear wooden bracelets on their wrists. It is a silver crown with a hair band on the head. There is a piece of red treasure embedded in the middle of the silver crown. The gemstone is the size of a copper coin and is of excellent color.

Although it was not the first time seeing Ye Mian, he still couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and said strangely that Lianghuai is rich and prosperous, how can this be compared.

As soon as Qinan Courtyard came in, the whole Cuihua Building became quieter.

Wei Angyuan snorted "upstart", everyone in Qirui Courtyard lowered their heads and laughed, only Wen Xun poked the rice with chopsticks unhappily with his mouth puffed out.

"What?" Ye Mian asked strangely.

"I want to eat their meals."

Ye Mian felt relieved, and raised his hand to call a servant boy over, "Go to the back kitchen and ask for a meal from Qi Nan Yard."

Because Qinanyuan has never been used to the water and soil here, in order to take care of their eating habits, Guozixue not only invited cooks from the south, but also shipped a boat of durable local vegetables from there every month. It's not a valuable thing, but in this way, the meals in Qinan courtyard are different from theirs.

Does Wen Xun want to eat anything on weekdays? I'm afraid it's fake to want to eat other people's new dishes, but the truth is that he is out of balance.

The servant boy was obviously stunned for a moment, and after Ye Mian frowned, he hurried to the back kitchen, but after a while he came out with a sad face, and replied cautiously: "The kitchen said that only twenty servings of Nantou's dishes were made."

As soon as the waiter's fairy tale was over, everyone in Qirui courtyard turned cold. Ye Mian held down Wen Xun, who was about to lose his temper, and said softly to the little boy, "Don't be afraid, I don't blame you. If you talk to the kitchen again, just let the cook take care of you." Do it now, we can wait."

"Twenty copies, Qirui Academy wants it," Wei Angyuan said angrily.

"Yes, we all want to tell the kitchen that from now on, we at Qiruiyuan will change our taste to eat southern cuisine, and we will tell them to change back when we get tired of eating." The teenagers of Qiruiyuan put down their chopsticks and said .

"and many more!"

As soon as Xiao Tong turned to leave, he was stopped by someone.

"Our Kai Tak Institute also needs [-] copies."

Ye Mian turned his head and saw that it was Qi Ye from Kai Tak Court. This Qi Ye was the son of the emperor's close minister and the nine admirals. He was usually a mess, and he was somewhat related to Li Zhao, so he and Ye Mian could be regarded as acquaintances.

Qi Deyuan has always been headed by Qi Ye, seeing him making a fuss, all the young masters also pushed away the food in front of them, as if watching a theater is not too high for the stage, Qi Ye is smiling and cooing with Li Zhao .

Unexpectedly, as soon as Qi Ye's words were put down, everyone around Qi Rui Yuan and Qi De Yuan shouted.

"The Qimo Academy also wants it."

"Qihouyuan also wants [-] servings of southern dishes."

"There is also our Qiyongyuan"

"..."

The Cuihua Building is very big, and it is hard to tell what is going on here in the distance. After inquiring clearly, the Qizi students on this floor slammed the table and made a fuss, wanting to change to southern dishes.

Xingsi Pavilion, the place where the Discipline Department of Guozi Academy is handling official business.

Ye Mian and Qi Ye were kneeling side by side on the futon in front of the desk, copying the "Guozi Xuegui", while Mr. Da Sizhengji was leaning on the chair beside him, reading a book and sipping tea slowly.

Ye Mian wrote slowly, Qi Ye had finished copying it, and he hadn't finished half of it yet.

After Ye Mian finished copying a piece of paper, he saw Qi Ye staring at him fiercely.

"Am I so pretty?"

Qi Ye vomited blood and scolded in a breathy voice: "It's so ugly! It's uglier than your handwriting, can you fucking copy it quickly?"

"Don't urge, the more you urge, the slower!" Ye Mian gave him a sideways look.

Qi Ye felt depressed and had a chest pain. When he turned around and saw old man Ji drinking tea leisurely, he was even more angry. The old man asked Ye Mian to finish copying before letting him get up. He was clearly trying to punish him.

After another half an hour, Ye Mian barely finished writing, rubbed his sore wrists and legs that had already been numb from kneeling, and stood up cautiously.

"Finished?" Ji Dasi asked casually.

"It's finished, Da Sizheng." The two replied respectfully.

Mr. Ji nodded slowly: "Do you know what's wrong?"

"Students know."

"Then do you know what's wrong?"

Ye Mian lowered his eyes and hesitated, before he could speak, he heard Qi Ye slumped beside him and muttered: "I know, the school bell has been ringing for a long time."

"What are you talking about? Louder!" Ji Dasi frowned.

"He said he knew he was wrong, but he only punished us two for some reason." Ye Mian replied loudly in front of Qi Ye's pig.

Qi Ye opened his mouth and stared at Ye Mian: "..."

Ji Dasi was sitting upright on the couch, and smiled coldly at Ye Mian: "You don't want to be haunted in front of my eyes, but you want your father to pick you up and go back to Ye's mansion?"

Ye Mian immediately faltered, and said with an apologetic smile, "Sizheng Ji, the students don't dare."

"Why punish you two alone?" Ji Dasi was staring at them angrily and reprimanded: "Don't think that if the old man is not present, you don't know that it was you two who took the lead!"

Qi Ye quit, "Ji Da Sizheng, Ye Mian, that Wen Xun, and Wei Angyuan are the first ones to pick things up, I can wait for the rest."

"Shut up!" Ji Dasi slapped the table and sternly said, "If they are the only ones making trouble in the Qirui Courtyard, and you didn't bring the Qide Courtyard to stir up trouble, can those courtyards in the back make trouble together?"

"Bring the Qizi students to stop the meal together, why don't you go to the sky?" Ji Dasi was getting more and more excited as he spoke, and the sound of the ruler being slapped on the table made Ye Mian and Qi Ye shrink their necks in fright.

"The students know they are wrong, and the boss is not angry."

Ji Dasi was taking a sip of tea to suppress his anger, and said again: "The old man knows that Qirui Yuan and Qide Yuan only listen to the two of you, and in the future, if there is any trouble in these two courtyards, you and I will be the only ones." ask!"

Qi Ye: "..."

Ye Mian: "..." MMP

The two of them hung their heads again and were reprimanded for taking a cup of tea before they were let out.

As soon as the two of them left the house, a little instructor next to Mr. Ji frowned and asked, "Sir, the grand sacrificial wine has just been invited by the Minister of the Household Department, and it is said that it has been passed to the imperial court. If it’s a big disaster, just copy the "School Regulations"?"

Ji Dasi was sighing weakly: "That's why we have to wait until the grand sacrificial wine comes back to make a decision. Now that there is a slight disturbance in the school, some people are making a fuss about it, and the higher authorities take these things seriously. We must be cautious. It is."

The little instructor bowed and said yes.

Ji Dasi was slowly leaning back on the chair, closed his eyes and didn't know what to write. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "A few bastards who don't know the heights of the sky and the earth!"
