Dressed As the Deadly Opponent of the Male Protagonist of the Imperial Examination - Chapter 60

Jiangdong Academy, Pei Yunxiao Academy.

“It’s fine now. Liu Shangshu and a few imperial adults praised the benefits of sweet potatoes in front of the prefect. Your majesty’s imperial decree has spread throughout Wuzhou. Those insidious and cunning profiteers are coming to grab the seedlings we used to raise our seedlings. Potatoes!” Xie Ying stood at the table, angrily.

“Now I can’t help them!” Pei Yunxiao was rather confident.

The emperor’s edict was a draw from the bottom of the pan, and completely solved their urgent tasks. Aren’t those people trying to prevent them from promoting sweet potato cultivation? Now that the imperial edict has been laid down, no one has the courage to resist the edict.

“What did Yifei say?” Shen Siqi asked.

“Your Majesty’s imperial decree, this is the responsibility of the prefect. It is done well, and the performance is one. If it is not done well, the future is hopeless. How can a savvy person like Li Zhifu know that the wealthy gentry of the grain merchants got the potato nuggets. What can you do? He won’t make fun of his official hat.” Pei Yunxiao said.

“Furthermore, several imperial envoys have come here to see in person how many sweet potatoes we have collected, how many seedling potatoes we have left, and at least how much we can produce next year. They all know. When they return to Beijing to report to your Majesty, such a big thing, Your Majesty will not despise it. If Wuzhou can’t come up with this number next fall…”

“Yeah!” Xie Ying clasped her hands together: “Tell those who are greedy to do the work, and in the end it’s just a basket of water, nothing!”

While talking, a student in a green shirt ran in from outside the courtyard, a little anxious.

“Several brothers and prefects saw off a few imperial adults in the champion restaurant, and hereby invited the head of the hospital, Mr. Song and a few brothers to go with them.”

“Okay, let’s go now.” Qin Dongxiang responded and told him to leave first.

Several people sorted their clothes and walked out.

Pei Yunxiao and Tang Hang were a few steps behind and walked side by side.

“I know what Xiao brother wants to say.” Before Pei Yunxiao could say anything, Tang Heng spoke first.

“Since Liu Shangshu and Yang Shilang have called Wuzhou, they have offered to entertain me alone a few times, but I have refused on the grounds of reading. Now they are leaving, so don’t give up if you want to.”

Pei Yun smiled: “Brother is more alert now.”

“Hube Shangshu Liu Zhicheng is a cronies of the Queen Mother, and is related to the Queen Mother’s mother’s Qingyang Zhao family. Shilang Yang is the wife and brother of the head of the He Patriarch. The two have always been together.” Pei Yunxiao pointed out the relationship behind it.

“But my elder brother must have never thought of who the other Xu Sinong is.”

Tang Hang stopped, lowered his head, and leaned closer to Pei Yunxiao’s ear: “How do I know? From the first day he came, I knew that he belongs to the Pei clan. However, he can’t be regarded as Taifu Pei’s cronies.”

Pei Yunxiao was really surprised. He didn’t expect Tang Heng’s “political literacy” to improve so quickly in just two years.

“My brother is right, Xu Sinong is my father’s, but not grandfather’s.” Pei Yunxiao said with a mockery: “My father, two uncles, and those six older brothers, I’m afraid I can’t wait. NS.”

“As soon as winter is over, I will enter the dynasty. My grandfather must spare no effort to recommend me, and your majesty is also blushing to me. If I really let me seize the power of Pei’s, my dad and them are afraid they will be crazy!”

Tang Heng thoughtfully, paused, and lowered his voice: “Brother Xiao will definitely get what he wants.”

Pei Yunxiao smiled clearly.

Yes, she has been preparing for so many years, she will definitely!

When they arrived at the restaurant, things were as expected by Pei Yunxiao and Tang Heng. Liu Zhicheng and the others had the meaning of wooing and being close, and they didn’t put Pei Yunxiao in their eyes.

After all, they are all old fried dough sticks who have been in the officialdom for many years, and they are elders, and they will inevitably despise the young man Pei Yunxiao.

Pei Yunxiao didn’t mind that they despised themselves, but secretly mocked them. They have been in a high position for a long time, forgetting that there are many things in the world that cannot be tempted by money, fame and fortune.

Pei Yunxiao couldn’t know who Tang Heng was today. The weight of his righteous brother in his heart is also extraordinary.

When Liu Zhicheng and others saw that Tang Hang was not on the road at all, they couldn’t help but feel a little impatient. There are so many scholars in the world, and he is not bad, isn’t this one?

Pei Yunxiao saw that Liu Zhicheng had brought the topic to Xie Ying and Ms. Qi who had come with him, but he still returned without success, so he picked up the wine glass on the table and took the opportunity to hide his smile.

——How can the old foxes realize the juvenile sentiment of the little foxes.

The song is gone, the host and the guest are happy. The banquet in the restaurant dispersed, leaving a piece of leftover cold.

In the private room on the second floor, the household secretary Liu Zhicheng looked particularly anxious, and said to the young man sitting opposite: “Yongnian, how many times have you come to Wuzhou Shi Lingzun, have you forgotten?”

Sitting across from Liu Zhicheng, it was Zhao Xizhe.

“Uncle Shi, Yongnian did not dare to forget his father’s teachings. He has tried his best to make friends with classmates in the academy.” Zhao Xizhe’s expression was sincere and innocent, and his face was not deeply involved in the world.

Liu Zhicheng sighed. I don’t know why the empress dowager loves this young son Zhao so much that Patriarch Zhao dare not ignore him.

But Zhao Xizhe, he is clearly a kid who doesn’t change anything!

“Then what do you think of them?” Liu Zhicheng had the last glimmer of hope.

Zhao Xizhe tilted his head to think about it, and smiled happily: “I am knowledgeable and sincere. I have the best relationship with Yifei, and other people are also good.”

“…” Liu Zhicheng’s eyes were black.

What do the Qingyang Zhao clan and Tongyang Pei clan have to associate with? It is destined to be the enemy’s two families, and there has been no possibility of shaking hands and making peace!

“You…” Liu Zhicheng didn’t know what to say, and finally had to say: “No matter, you are about to return to Beijing, next year’s provincial test is very important, it is necessary to prepare for life. It is getting late, go back.”

Zhao Xizhe got up politely and said goodbye.

He wore a dark green cloak and walked downstairs slowly, until he walked out of the restaurant, and then stood on the side of the street.

Raising his head, Zhao Xizhe glanced at the closed window mullions on the second floor, and something flashed in his eyes. On the lips, a weird curve slightly evoked, which was not at all the innocence of the past.

A night breeze rolled up the corners of the cloak, Zhao Xizhe retracted his gaze, turned and walked quickly, everything disappeared in the dim night…

On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, the sky was full of snow.

People outside Jiangdong Academy are full of shadows and noises.

A few horses and shouts came, and the pedestrians onlookers gave way, curiously watching where the carriage was coming from.

“It’s the prefect!” The good guy saw at a glance that it was Mr. Li, the prefect of Wuzhou, who got off the carriage.

“What is so lively that even the prefect is alarmed?” Someone asked curiously.

“I heard that the students from Jiangdong Academy are going to Beijing to rush for the exam, and the prefect will send them off specially.” Someone explained.

“Oh, that’s terrible. Even the prefects have to flatter themselves. In the future, you must be a high official!”

In the main hall of the academy, the last pot of wine has been warmed up, Zheng Boyan and Song Jue held their cups high, with expressions of reluctance, but high spirits.

“This last cup, I wish you all a good journey!”

“Student thanks Mr.!”

After drinking a cup of wine, Pei Yunxiao, who had already packed up, said goodbye to Li Zhifu, Zheng Boyan and Song Jue, put on their cloaks, and walked outside the academy.

The situation of more than a year is not short but not long. But the people and things I met in the academy seemed to have been imprinted in my heart for a lifetime, which I would never forget.

It takes one month to travel from Wuzhou to Beijing, so Pei Yunxiao and Han Shaozhen set out at this time to catch up with the new year.

When Pei Yunxiao was about to leave, Tang Heng naturally followed.

Xie Ying, Shen Siqi, Qin Dongxiang, and Li Yan are all from Jiangdong, and the four are a total of them, so they simply follow along. Anyway, they all have to go to Beijing for exams, so it’s okay to be a company of each other.

As for Zhao Xizhe, he used to live in the home of the Zhao family in Qingyang. Seeing this situation, he also decided to go together.

In this way, they walked and stopped with a group of eight people and four carriages, and finally returned to the capital in the young year.

Han Shaozhen was wealthy, and as soon as he entered the city gate, he led everyone to the inn under his name and booked eight rooms.

He was not even in a hurry to return home, but stayed with him to eat and live with him.

Pei Yunxiao also intended to do this, but he couldn’t ignore it like Han Shaozhen, so he had to pay the salute first and hurriedly return to the house to see his grandfather.

Because the news of returning to Beijing came back early, when Pei Yunxiao came back, the family was gathered again.

Pei Ling specially ordered the kitchen to set up a banquet, saying that it was rare for a family to eat together.

When Pei Yunxiao heard this, he couldn’t help being left with a little thought.

Sure enough, without eating two bites of the meal during the banquet, the topic turned to the provincial examination and Tang Heng.

“Father’s vision is indeed not bad. Now in the capital, how many pairs of eyes are staring at these candidates from Jiangdong? Fortunately, Xiao Qi is the first to start!”

The elder Pei Nao had a happy face. He who had always had no good face for his little son, he rarely cared about Pei Yunxiao today.

Before Pei Nao’s words fell, the third master Pei Fu also continued:

“Yes, especially Tang Heng, Xie Ying, and Shen Siqi are all popular this year. According to your majesty, these three must stay in Beijing.”

“In my opinion, your Majesty might have already had a list. If Xiao Qi had the top pick, he would definitely be able to determine the other two.”

The second elder Pei Lian did not relax: “The third brother has forgotten that the Zhao family in Qingyang also has a scientific examination for the direct descendants this year.”

“So what?” Pei Fu didn’t care: “Your Majesty is extremely jealous of the two families of He and Zhao. Who can be the chief examiner this year except Dad? It’s nothing to be afraid of the Zhao family.”

“Bang” sounded. Pei Wei on the head of the seat threw the chopsticks heavily on the table, and the few people of Pei Fu fell silent for an instant.

Pei Ling’s eyes swept over the three sons below, and said coldly: “At the dinner table, nonsense, are you playing the family rules of the Pei Mansion or not?”

A few people curled their lips, just talking, so what? My father’s xinxing over the years has really become more and more timid.

Pei Ling knew what they were thinking at a glance, and snorted coldly: “I think you all forgot about Pei Lu’s end!”

After saying this, the three of them never dared to say anything again.

Pei Yunxiao’s killing of Pei palpitations shocked the entire Pei clan. Some people say that she killed her relatives righteously and abandoned the car to protect her handsome.

Among them, Pei Nao scolded the loudest.

Because he was also afraid, afraid that this son who had no affection with him since he was a child, and behaved badly, would someday give himself to “righteousness and death”!

However, Pei Ling was extremely supportive.

In the eyes of Pei Ling, the most important thing is to preserve Pei’s current power and extend to future generations. All radicals and camps are disasters!

“The old man will explain what he said today. The old man will be the chief examiner for one day, and the children of the Pei family will never have a champion!”
