school days in ancient times

Ye Mian didn't see the son-in-law and Zhuang Jue's other two brothers until the hibiscus flower feast was over, so he couldn't help but feel strange. He said that because of the quarrel between him and Zhuang Yu last time, his father was dissatisfied that the princess took the matter lightly, and there was a quarrel between the two, so today he ignored his mother's banquet and took Zhuang Yu with him early in the morning. Yu and Zhuang Heng escaped.

Ye Mian was not only stunned when he heard this, his brothers were fighting, why did his parents stand in line and hug each other?

Zhuang Jue downplayed it, as if he was used to it and didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but Ye Mian somehow had a bias in his heart and stood in line, and said recklessly: "Your father is really... the princess has beaten you He was covered in blood, what else would he do? He was dissatisfied with the princess's treatment, why didn't he stand up and do it himself, I don't believe he could kill you, the son of the eldest son, there is no perfect solution for such housework No matter how the princess handles it, she will be offended at both ends. As a mother, she is not more uncomfortable than anyone else? Your father will not be considerate and comforting, but will jump out after the incident and call a "sufferer" to protect..."

Zhuang Jue was stunned for a moment, then laughed sullenly, and said: "My mother can't hear this, otherwise she will go to the palace overnight to ask for an order and ask you to come. Mother has been complaining about this house. No one has the same heart with her, and loves me for nothing, but I am colder than anyone else, and I don't care for her at all, she has long been as cold as frost by the anger of our father and son."

On the way back to the Shilang's mansion, Ye Mian couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The princess' mansion is so glamorous on the outside, but the inside is full of chaos and chaos. Sure enough, every family has scriptures that are hard to recite, but everyone in this world says "Family and harmony." Only then can everything prosper", then how did their family manage to make the house full of chicken feathers, and earn a lot of money outside, making them as rich as the enemy country.

Ye Mian gnawed his fingers and thought about it seriously all the way in the carriage. Before getting out of the carriage, he sighed in his heart, the little rich depended on practice, and the rich depended on their fate...

Ye Mian, who had realized the true meaning of life, entered the mansion in the dark, and had just changed into the clothes worn at home, when You Ming entered the courtyard to spread the word that Ye Shilang ordered him to look for him in the study.

Now the relationship between Ye Mian and Ye Shilang is not as stiff as it was when he first came here, so he didn't resist much, so he quickly drank a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then jumped to his father's study.

The candlelight in the study room was brightly lit. Ye Shilang was sitting in front of the desk, holding a few pieces of paper in his hand and looking at it carefully. Seeing that Ye Mian was not walking well, he frowned and scolded him.

Ye Mian didn't feel the pain, bypassed the desk, poked his head from behind Ye Shilang and asked curiously: "What is this, why is there my name on it?"

Ye Shilang shook his head and sighed softly, called the servant to add a chair beside him, and lightly reprimanded him, "Sit properly here!"

Ye Mian pouted, and sat down obediently.

At this moment, Liu Yiniang lifted the curtain from the study room and brought Ye Mian a cup of freshly brewed Jingting green snow tea with a smile on his face. Ye Mian thanked her politely, and Liu Yiniang quickly put He waved his hand, didn't say much, and retreated to the inner room in a polite manner.

Ye Shilang only looked at the few pieces of paper carefully and didn't pay attention at all, but Ye Mian stared at his father and snorted softly.

A few days ago, his father's Shangfeng Hubu Shangshu, who did not know what kind of wind he had, sent his father two very handsome maidservants, one named Runyun and the other Nuanxiang. Then he knew what it was for, and Qiu was so angry that he had a headache, but he couldn't, so he had to assign Liu Yiniang to come to the study every day to serve tea, to prevent those two girls from acting as demons.

Ye Shilang noticed it, turned his head and reprimanded with a stern face: "What are you doing and making such strange movements, there are no rules!"

Ye Mian was not afraid of him, curled his lips to hold his mother's injustice, and said: "No wonder Dad spends so much time in this study dealing with official business, and even reluctant to go back to the main courtyard for dinner, I still think about it." Why did you get busy all of a sudden, it turns out that there is a beauty in this room to sweeten your red sleeves..."

Ye Shilang was so angry at his strange appearance, he raised his hand and slapped him on the back, and scolded with his eyes wide open: "Why are you talking to me! The matter in the elder's room is also yours Can you talk about it?" After speaking, he looked at the two maids standing in the corner with their heads down.

Ye Mian reached his back with his hands, and said with red eyes, wronged: "You can just say no to me, why are you still beating me because of two servants?"

How could Ye Shilang dare to wear such a big hat, he blew on his beard and cursed: "Stop talking nonsense! Did I beat you because of the two of them?"

"Then rub it for me..." Ye Mian sniffed and said coquettishly, "It hurts."

Less than a quarter of an hour after Ye Mian came into the study, Ye Shilang was so angry that his head was buzzing, he put his hand on his forehead helplessly, and rubbed his back with the other hand, but Ye Mian suddenly hugged Ye Shilang's arm cautiously, He groaned, "Father, I don't want to have a younger brother anymore..."

Ye Shilang was taken aback, "What are you talking about?"

Ye Mian pursed her lips, coaxing people with half-true friendship and half-fake, "With a new brother, you won't like me anymore, but I like dad, and I'll be jealous!" Ye Mian shook his dad's sleeves, Almond eyes looked straight at Ye Shilang.

Ye Shilang has passed the age of forty years, but this is the first time he heard his children confess to him, he was stunned for a while, and then he felt that his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were soaked in warm current, pressed to the extreme, pressed The corner of his mouth reprimanded lightly: "No nonsense!"

Ye Mian glanced at the two beauties over there.

Ye Shilang coughed unnaturally, and said stiffly: "It's just someone who serves pens, inks and tea in the study, don't listen to your mother's nonsense!"

"Oh? In my study, there are also two people who serve tea and water."

Ye Shilang glared at him, Ye Mian stared back, not to be outdone, "It's just two waiters for tea, why are you reluctant to give it to me?"

"What do you mean I can't bear it?" Ye Shilang was so angry that he wanted to slap the outspoken Nizi twice, but seeing Ye Mianzheng looked at him with suspicion, and Ye Shilang finally "give up" and waved impatiently. He waved his hand and said, "Give it! I'll give it all to you, don't bother me again!"

Ye Mian immediately turned his head and told Zu Ming in a cold voice, "Send these two girls to my yard and hand them over to Yi Nong, and then find out their identity cards. It would be convenient for me to go back and take them away."

Because Feng Jin served under Ye Mian, half of the people belonged to Yao Huixuan. When he heard the fourth young master's order, he didn't even look at Ye Shilang's face. went.

Ye Shilang was distressed and furious, but Ye Mian calmed down, and asked Ye Shilang with a serious face: "Father, this paper has the exam questions for our school's annual exam, but the list has been released?"

Ye Shilang didn't want to argue with him anymore, so he suppressed his anger and said "Yes" seriously, "Your school will publish a list tomorrow, I'll go to the Ministry of Rites and ask for the list to see."

Ye Mian nodded. The annual examination of Guozixue is no different from the usual ten-day examination. After the students finish the examination, the examination papers have to be wax-sealed and approved by the Ministry of Rites. Therefore, it is more than half a month after the autumn vacation, and the list is not good. Can just come down.

Ye Mian took the few pieces of paper and looked at them carefully. After a while, the corners of his mouth became higher and higher. He thought to himself, no wonder he was so noisy just now, and his father didn't beat him out with a stick.

He did well in the annual exam this time, and he didn't get a single D grade. Except for Shi Wen and riding and archery, which he was least good at, he got C grades, and the rest got B grades and above, and arithmetic was still the top one. The name of the wind and scenery is written at the top of the list!

Ye Mian couldn't help but look proud, looking at his father with the corner of his mouth up, waiting to be praised!

Ye Shilang didn't praise him!I was afraid that he would be proud, and I was angered by this unfilial son just now, so I just snorted heavily, and lectured him seriously as usual before explaining to him the exam questions in detail. Point out his shortcomings.

Ye Mian listened very seriously. Since he had made up his mind to pass the scientific examination in person after studying in the Imperial College, he was very concerned about his studies. He was worried that the education habits of his previous life would make him unsuitable for the examination here. Now this year The test results undoubtedly gave him a boost.

One of the father and son is serious about teaching and the other is serious about learning. It is the first time in more than ten years that they have been alone in such a harmonious way for more than an hour.

When I went to the school the next day, even Jia Yuanzheng caught him and praised him to the list. Ye Mian's typical temperament is to take the soft and not to take the hard, remembering praises but not hitting, which won Yuan Zheng's favor. As soon as he was praised, he felt as if he had eaten a spring. He tried his best to jump up, thinking that he would discuss with Ruan Yunsheng when he got back to the courtyard. After lunch at school, he would go to Zangshu Pavilion to read together. .

Ye Mian entered the school room of Xiurui Academy, and saw Qi Ye sitting on his desk with one foot on the ground and one foot on the chair, dancing and telling the many people around him about his stupid things Son!

He has a very wide "face" now, and after school, he goes to places that they usually can't go to. How can all the students not be curious, they all gather around to hear something new.

Ye Mian walked over, kicked that leg off his chair very rudely, Qi Ye didn't care, his long legs rested on the ground easily, and he kept talking to them as before, stretching his long arms Holding Ye Mian in front of him, he rubbed his face fiercely with his upper hand, and Ye Mian was so angry that he punched him with a backhand.

Qi Ye laughed and avoided, and said: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, brother Xue will take you to a banquet after we're gone."

"Don't go!" Ye Mian said angrily, "What kind of place is it where cats and mice steal holes? Going back is not enough for me to ask for a beating."

Qi Ye let out a "tsk", "Where do you dare to go with me, we will only go to Zuixin Pavilion at night!"

Ye Mian and others in Zuixin Pavilion often go there, but Ye Mian still shook his head and said: "No, I have to go back to the house earlier to study."

Qi Ye only thought that Ye Mian was perfunctory, and was very upset, and said angrily, "You Xiurui Yuan is only getting better with the room next door now? I have invited you several times, but no one nodded! Why, because Are those in the south parted with us?"

Ye Mian was a little embarrassed to hear him say that, and just about to explain, he heard Li Zhao sneer: "Brother Mian, don't talk to him, now there are several people around him who are begging him to take you out to make friends, You don't have to show him face!"
