school days in ancient times

Zhuang Jue seemed to be in a good mood today, not as indifferent as usual, and there seemed to be some smiles in his eyes. Seeing Ye Mian glaring at him, he didn't make trouble with him. He just glanced at him and ignored him. He changes clothes.

Ye Mian poked "eye kill" into the cotton, and his chest felt even more stuffy. He could only complain in his heart, what happened to talking with someone in the study, and he was so happy.

On the other side, Zhuang Jue stretched his hands and was helped by a few boys to change clothes, but Ye Mian was held back by a white-faced old inner eunuch.

"Look at this old slave, you are so pitiful," the old inner eunuch touched Ye Mian's forehead, his eyes filled with distress, and he said, "I must go to the Great Black Temple tomorrow, and ask the Medicine Master Bodhisattva, why are those deer-headed mouse eyes All of them are alive and kicking, our handsome young master is sick, what's the reason for that?"

Before Ye Mian could speak, the old eunuch suddenly stood up on the table in front of the bed, looked at the round dining table in the hall and said, "Oh, it's useless, but the dishes don't like it?"

Zhuang Ran smiled and stepped forward and said, "Young Master Ye said that he likes to use them on weekdays, but he is sick and has no appetite."

"Nonsense, there is no reason why you don't have to eat if you don't have an appetite?" The old inner eunuch suddenly stern, pointed at the boys in front of him and reprimanded: "How do you serve them? The young master is sick and has a poor appetite, so you won't eat it." Let the kitchen do what he likes to use again? It’s why people are hungry here, and you are doing the same thing in front of the princess, right?”

The boys all knelt down with pale faces, and Zhuang Ran stood there with a flash of embarrassment, but he stopped talking, and the old eunuch continued to chatter: "Since you came out of Jinling, your rules have become more and more loose. , I’m not dead yet, so I dare to raise one by one.”

"Go! Tell the kitchen," the old inner eunuch pointed at a boy, "Let them make another table of dishes. If the young master is too lazy to take a look at it, he will write to Princess Jinling's mansion tomorrow to send a few more dishes." A cook will come and take all of you capable ones back to open the eyes of the eldest princess."

The little boy fought back and went away, the old eunuch turned around and sat back a few moments before the bed, took Ye Mian's hand and patted it, apologetically saying: "Poor thing, it's our fault. After waking up, I don’t know everyone in the room, and they all look so blank, but I’m so scared that I can’t eat anymore, look at this little face.”

While talking, the old eunuch smoothed Ye Mian's loose hair back behind his ears with eyes full of compassion, "But what's not to like?"

Ye Mian sat cross-legged on the bed in silk and white pajamas, hugged a soft pillow in his arms, nodded at the very old eunuch, and replied obediently: "He is fine, but he is weak, thank you for taking care of me. "

Ye Mian sat there and couldn't help but keep looking at Zhuang Jue with his eyes. He had a lot to ask him. The old eunuch followed his eyes and turned around and laughed a few times. All kinds of voices fell on deaf ears, just let someone serve him to take off the hospitality robe, and then ordered him to take a bath.

Ye Mian was very helpless sitting there, will you die if you come here and say a few words to your guest?

What hospitality!

But no matter how patiently he ran out of patience, he couldn't make a fuss in front of so many people at someone's house. Ye Mian, who was full of swear words, took a deep breath, lowered his head and kneaded the soft pillow in his arms with his fingers. The corner of Ruan Luo.

Zhuang Ran looked over there, raised his head and asked King Rongnan, "Then let someone put water in the western guest room for you?"

Zhuang Jue glanced at him, "What are you doing in the guest room?"

Zhuang Ran smiled: "Everything has been taken care of over there. You are tired today, and you can go to sleep directly after taking a bath without having to worry about it."

Zhuang Jue was taken aback for a moment, and looked up at him: "Who said I'm going to sleep in the guest room?"

Zhuang Ran was stunned for a moment, looked at Ye Mian who was sitting on the bed and scratched his hands seriously, and remained silent for a long time.

The room was silent for a moment, the old eunuch looked around, laughed and said: "Although this bed is not as good as ours in Jinling, it is big enough to sleep on."

Zhuang Ran whispered: "Young Master Ye has a fever, what if..." Zhuang Ran glanced at Zhuang Jue and then at the old eunuch, showing embarrassment.

"No problem," Zhuang Jue waved his hand.

The old eunuch laughed, "Listen to the king, listen to the king."

On the issue of going to bed over there, several people made a decision in three or two sentences.

Ye Mian sat there speechless for a while, my guest's opinion is really so unimportant, is there no one to ask?

The king of Rongnan County over there went to the bathroom in the remote room to take a bath as usual, and the old eunuch smiled and said to Ye Mian: "Master Ye has a fever today, so it is inconvenient to take a bath, but when you fall asleep in the afternoon Someone has already wiped your body with strong wine, and after we have a meal, it will be refreshing to wipe with water."

Ye Mian nodded noncommittally.

By the time Zhuang Jue went to take a bath, the dining room had already begun to pass dishes to the house one by one. The old eunuch ordered the boy to set up a small carved nanmu table on the bed, and asked them to serve a bowl of vegetarian porridge and pick out some lists. Delicate side dishes are placed one by one.

Ye Mian had the nerve to eat on someone else's bed, and wanted to get down, but was stopped by the old eunuch.

He smiled and said: "It's okay, these bed quilts and bed covers will have to be changed in a while, our county king doesn't iron his body, so he uses it like this, don't be afraid."

When Zhuang Jue got out of the shower, he saw Ye Mian sitting cross-legged on the bed, and Mrs. Xia was holding a bowl of porridge and feeding it to his mouth mouth by mouth. Uncomfortable, eating there while talking bad things about him to Eunuch Xia.

"He was so cruel. I didn't have to eat anything that night. I was forced to drink a few jugs of alcohol, and I almost vomited my bile." Is it a human?

Xia Neijian laughed so hard that his hand holding the porridge bowl kept shaking, Ye Mian frowned and said, "You're still laughing, shouldn't you care? If I bully people like this outside, my father will definitely disapprove if he finds out. , I think you might as well write a letter to inform your eldest princess first, and let the eldest princess decide."

After eating his food and giving him shoes, Zhuang Jue walked over with a sneer.

"Believe it or not, I will have someone tie you up in a while, and then I will pour you a few pots, and I will leave when I spit out the bile."

Ye Mian looked at Zhuang Jue, whose hair was still wet just out of the bath, swallowed a mouthful of porridge with a mutter, then looked at Xia Neijian and said, "Look, I'm a guest at your house, He is about to be kidnapped and killed. It can be seen that what I just told you is not an exaggeration. Now you help him hide it. There will always be a day when he gets into trouble. At that time, the eldest princess can't do anything to him, but will use you as a raft. "

Xia Neijian couldn't hold the porridge bowl anymore, Ye Mian kept talking, "He even asked me to spit out bile, I was almost scared out of my wits by him, how can I spit out something for him?"

Zhuang Jue snorted coldly, "I don't think you're frightened, but you've eaten the heart of a bear and a leopard."

"What's wrong? Being bullied by you, you can't resist and you can only be beaten obediently, as if everyone is made of mud!" Ye Mian said with his neck stuck.

Xia Neijian put the porridge bowl on the table, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and coaxed him, "Why are you still talking? You should stop talking."

Zhuang Jue was not a talkative person on weekdays, so he ignored him after arguing for the first time, sat crookedly on the soft bed on the other side, and let the boy wipe his hair with a hot towel. "

Ye Mian only gave him a sideways glance, and then said nothing.

Supervisor Xia Nei picked up the porridge bowl again, and fed Ye Mian, "You are young, and you are always chatting, so there is no such thing as a deep hatred."

"That's why he called me 'get out' first." Ye Mian sat up straight and said, "This time his private guard saved me, so I should thank him solemnly, but every yard counts. If he doesn't apologize to me for the bad things he did, I won't forgive him."

Zhuang Jue leaned there, holding a book in his hand, and snorted slightly, "I think you are feverish and confused."

Xia Neijian also clicked his tongue twice, and whispered into Ye Mian's ear: "The young master should let it go, and let the two of them resolve this conflict with a step. Since he was born, the eldest princess has never let him do it." Sorry, if you keep holding on to this and ask him to give you an apology, when will the troubles last?"

Ye Mian curled his lips and said nothing, but he really disagreed in his heart. He flirted first, why did he let himself go down the steps without apologizing? Zhuang Jue is much more noble than him, but he, Ye Mian, can't do it either. The unidentified pariah who can be manipulated at will, the big deal is that they will not communicate with each other in the future!

But now is not the time to talk about these things. Zhuang Jue's yin and yang come out, sometimes beat him, sometimes save him, but it is polite to thank him first.

After Ye Mian finished his meal, he also went to the bathroom over there to be wiped by the little boys, but his mind was always thinking about how to open his mouth, and he had a quarrel just now...

When Ye Mian came out, the candles in the hall were being cut off one by one by the Tongzimen, leaving only two places on the high table next to the bed, where the light was dim and warm.

The quilts on the bed have been replaced with new ones, half of the crimson brocade soft curtains have been put down, and Zhuang Jue has also changed into pajamas, half leaning on the side of the bed, reading a volume of miscellaneous books from Qiyu in his hand, Xia Neijian and Zhuang Ran took a few boys to check tea, candles, incense burners and so on.

Ye Mian walked over and sat on the edge of the bed. The boy helped him remove the jade hairpin from his head, and then squatted down to take off his shoes.

Ye Mian raised his legs and got on the bed. Seeing that Zhuang Jue was just looking at the scroll with relish and ignoring him, he felt a little embarrassed for some reason, so he coughed lightly and said without words: "Hey, I want to sleep in, you Move this way."

Zhuang Sui didn't take his eyes off the book, he just asked lazily, "Why?"

No reason, just say something casually.

Ye Mian rolled his eyes at him, thought for a while before making up nonsense: "I heard people say that two people share the same bed, and they sleep on the outside to serve others. I am not your servant, but a guest. I sleep outside?"

Zhuang Jue paused, and finally moved his eyes away from the book, looked at him speechlessly for a while, and then looked at him with a complicated expression and said slowly, "That's a husband and wife."

???

Zhuang Jue put down the scroll and gently rubbed between his brows with one hand, "The wife or concubine sleeps on the outside when she shares the bed with her husband, so that she can serve tea and water."

Zhuang Jue sighed, looked straight at him, and asked puzzledly: "Ye Mian, do you only listen to half of what people say?"

All of a sudden, the room was full of suffocated laughter, Xia Neijian was already so happy that the flesh on his face trembled, and even some of the boys were weak in concentration, bowing their heads and shaking their shoulders.

Ye Mian petrified there, feeling embarrassed for a while.

Ye Mian finally "got his wish" and crawled to the back of the bed, blushing a little rarely, but fortunately the lights were dim and the tent was dark, so it was hard to see it.

Ye Mian cleared his throat after lying down and said, "Actually, I just want to thank you."

Zhuang Jue: "There's no need to rush."

Ye Mian looked at him puzzled.

Under the flickering candlelight, Zhuang Jue's already delicate porcelain-white skin was coated with a thin layer of jade halo. He only heard a chuckle, looked at Ye Mian faintly, and said, "After tonight, if you want to thank Ye Mian again I'm not too late, otherwise I'm afraid you will regret it again."

Ye Mian looked at him, his heart skipped a beat, and he blurted out: "Are you going to punish me again?"

Zhuang Jue didn't answer him, but turned around and clapped his hands, and immediately two boys who were guarding the night came up to obey his orders.

Zhuang Jue ordered lightly: "Go, turn off all the lights in this room, and then everyone go out, and no one is allowed to guard the door. If anything happens here, you are not allowed to come in. Anyone who violates this will go back to Jinling."

"Yes."

The boys hurriedly took away the bronze auspicious animal candlesticks as ordered, and darkness spread in the tent immediately. Ye Mian only heard the footsteps of the boys gradually drifting away, and finally the door was closed with a "squeak".

Everything is quiet, and you can't see your fingers.
