Dressed As the Deadly Opponent of the Male Protagonist of the Imperial Examination - Chapter 61
After Pei Ling finished speaking, she stood up, flicked her sleeves and left.
Seeing this situation, the three masters of the Pei family dared to sit there, and hurriedly stood up and chased them out, leaving only seven juniors staring at each other.
Pei Yunxiao did not have any obsession with the champion, perhaps because she had already acquiesced to the fact that Tang Hang was the champion, so she didn’t feel uncomfortable when she heard this.
But some people can’t sit still.
“Tsk tusk, how is this good?” Pei Yuntuo got up and paced to Pei Yunxiao.
“Grandfather seems to have made up his mind to avoid suspicion. Xiao Qi, your luck is really bad!”
Pei Yuntuo only got the last place in the second grade in the provincial examination last year. Because of the shelter of the Pei family, he reluctantly stayed in the capital and became a small official in the staff department.
Pei Yunxiao directly chose to ignore his yin and yang weirdness, and kept chopsticks in his hand.
“Eh Xiaoqi, what is going on with the worshiping brother from your village? Our brothers have always heard of his name and no one. When will we bring him over for us to meet?” Pei Yuntuo asked.
“Yes.” The fifth son of Pei also echoed: “Also let us see what Crouching Dragon and Phoenix young generation is, and dare to blow the title of’Top Champion’!”
Pei Yunxiao swallowed the last bite of food, stood up slowly, and looked back at the six elder brothers.
“I want to see each other.” They are about to enter the officialdom soon, and they are indispensable for friendship, and of course they want to see each other.
“But there are some things, brothers need to recognize.” Pei Yunxiao cleared his throat.
“Someone can get the No. 1 scholar, but the top ranking in the world is only the No. 1 scholar. But some people get the last one in the exam. That’s his ability, and that’s only enough.”
Pei Yuntuo’s face rose black and blue for an instant, but Pei Yunxiao strode away, without even giving him a gleam of light.
“Brother, Pei Qi’s temperament is getting bigger and bigger. Now my grandfather believes in him the most, and the group of people from Jiangdong will really wait for them to enter the court in the future. Where can the Pei family have a foothold? “Second Young Master Pei approached Pei Yunzhao and provoked.
“Yes, big brother, you are the head of the long house. No matter what he said, Pei Qi was born in the next house. Where can we pass you? We brothers will all have to rely on eldest brother in the future!”
How could Pei Yunzhao know the careful thinking of these cousins? But he can only think that he doesn’t know, and he just said: “Xiao Qi is young, it is the time of Zhang Yang, so he has to teach him. But he is the Pei family after all, and everything about him naturally belongs to the Pei family.”
The other five people all agreed and nodded, thinking in their hearts that if those Jiangdong children are really talented, they will be mercifully promoted, let them stay away from Pei Yunxiao, and then use them for themselves.
Facts have proved that there are definitely not a few people in the capital who think like this.
Since a few people came to Beijing, all kinds of invitations and invitations have been numerous and overwhelming.
Learn about sitting today, drink and have fun tomorrow…Even though they have been screened, the schedule of a group of people is actually scheduled to the fifteenth of the first lunar month!
On that day, the invitation card from the He family was also sent to the inn and handed over to Tang Hang himself.
Tang Hang hesitated, after all, the identity of the He family was too sensitive.
But Pei Yunxiao actually asked him to agree: “Of course my brother wants to go!”
“If you always refuse their invitation, it will inevitably not be the target of the public. Going there is just a banquet and it means nothing.”
“That said, but…” Tang Heng hesitated and stopped.
I hope he didn’t think too much, but he always felt that this banquet felt quite like going to a Hongmen banquet.
The He family’s banquet was held on the basis of the noble concubine’s birthday, and it was extremely grand.
Xu was the emperor who had dried up the He family and Concubine He for two years. Knowing that things could not be done absolutely, the Concubine He became favored again, and the He family dared to show up.
The nobles in the capital always had to maintain some superficial harmony, so the Pei family was also on the He family’s banquet list.
The representative of the Pei family is naturally Pei Yunzhao, so Pei Yunxiao chose to walk with Tang Hang and Xie Ying, but revealed some subtle meanings.
So when He Can, the eldest grandson of the He family, who was welcoming guests in front of the mansion gate, saw Pei Yunxiao and Tang Hang coming side by side, the expression on his face was also very exciting.
“Seventh son? What a rare visitor, a rare visitor!” He Can greeted him with a smile, his eyes quietly moving between Pei Yunxiao and Tang Hang.
Pei Yunxiao also responded politely: “Yi Fei came uninvited, and I also ask Brother He to forgive me.”
“How dare, how dare.” He Can said hurriedly, “I just didn’t think about it. I only posted a post to the mansion, but forgot the relationship between the seventh son and Tang brother. I really can’t help it!”
“Brother He makes Yifei even more ashamed.” Pei Yunxiao said.
“Where is this? It’s a pleasant surprise for a few of you to come. Please come in soon. The seats are already prepared with light wine, coarse tea and light rice. If you are not well served, I hope you can bear it!” He Can finished speaking, and called Xiao Xiao Together they lead the way for a few people.
Entering the hall, everyone found that they were all arranged in the same separate hall. Several people had already been seated, including Zhao Xizhe.
If there are not all students in this year’s scientific examination in this room, perhaps Pei Yunxiao would think that this is really just a coincidence.
When Zhao Xizhe saw Pei Yunxiao and a few people, he immediately greeted him happily, and there was another lively conversation.
At the beginning of the banquet, exquisite dishes and wine were presented like flowing water. The graceful dancers in the hall danced the most sought-after Hundred Flowers Dance in Beijing, and the music was very pleasant.
As the host, He Can is specially responsible for entertaining their group of people of the same age. I saw him toast from time to time with the invited students from all over the world to laugh and talk over the wine, and the hospitality was very thorough.
Pei Yunxiao calmly eats vegetables and drinks, as if everything around him has nothing to do with him.
After a dance, He Can laughed twice, raised his hands and patted them twice.
The dancers in the hall then scattered everywhere, kneeling and sitting beside everyone in twos and threes.
The coquettish voice is sweet and numb, and the eyes are shining brightly, and they can only let them pour cups of wine into their belly in a trance.
Pei Yunxiao was caught off guard by this incident, quite a bit unstoppable. The scent of powder on the dancers kept digging into her nose, and she felt uncomfortable all over.
“My son, let’s have another drink.” A dancing girl onion gently scraped Pei Yunxiao’s chest with her upper body rubbing against her arm.
“No, no need…” Pei Yunxiao pulled out his entangled arm, wishing to hide under the table.
I glanced around randomly again, and almost everyone was like this.
Some students should be middle-aged and veteran, and they have begun to make love with the beauties; but some people are no different from Pei Yunxiao, and they are shunned.
Beauty tricks? Three words flashed in Pei Yunxiao’s mind.
The He family won’t be reduced to the point where they have to use such a low-level method to win people’s hearts, right? But what is the purpose and significance of this?
Among these people sitting in the hall, like Zhao Xizhe, he is a family prince, and the He family does not have the ability to draw in; and among the poor students, only Tang Heng and Xie Ying are popular in Jinke…
Tang Heng?
Pei Yunxiao turned his head abruptly and looked at Tang Hang.
I saw him sitting in distress, completely different from other people’s stray and embarrassed things. His expression was stern and ruthless, and the two women beside him dared not touch him even with a corner of his clothes.
The corner of Pei Yunxiao’s mouth bends unconsciously, he deserves it!
She was about to cast a joking look in the past, but Tang Heng turned her head and looked back at him as well. A trace of something flashed quickly in those deep eyes, which was precisely captured by Pei Yunxiao!
Pei Yunxiao’s heart stunned, pushing away the singer beside him, holding up the wine bottle, with a standard smirk on his face, stood up and walked towards Tang Hang’s direction.
She bends down in front of the Tang Heng table case, holding a wine glass, her voice is not too loud: “Brother, I respect you.”
The next moment, Tang Hang’s arm that was hanging beside him suddenly lifted up, and his big palm firmly grasped Pei Yunxiao’s hand!
The glass shook slightly, spilling a few drops of wine.
Pei Yunxiao stiffened, and a rush of heat rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. The hands held by Tang Heng seemed to be placed in a hot oil pan, hot and scary.
and many more! Not like it!
Pei Yunxiao’s eyes suddenly fell on the hands between the two of them, and Tang Hang’s palm was really faintly hot.
She looked cold, and looked at the two women next to Tang Heng like a skating knife. Seeing her like this, the two of them shrank their necks immediately, dare not say a word, and left griefly.
Pei Yunxiao lowered his voice: “Brother?”
The strength of Tang Hang’s palm increased by three points: “The wine…there is a problem.”
Pei Yunxiao’s anger rose instantly, his other hand clenched into a fist, and his back teeth were clenched: “I’ll take you away!”
With Pei Yunxiao’s hand strength, Tang Hang stood up a little staggered, most of his body’s strength was pressed on Pei Yunxiao’s body, which was quite overwhelming.
But Pei Yunxiao just clenched his teeth, holding his arm, and the two quickly walked towards the door.
Just when they were about to walk to the door, a figure suddenly stood in front of the two.
Pei Yunxiao raised his head with fire and looked over—it was Zhao Xizhe with a wine glass.
Zhao Xizhe didn’t seem to notice Pei Yunxiao’s abnormality, and looked confused: “Yifei? Brother Zikuan? What are you guys?”
Pei Yunxiao reluctantly suppressed his anger, and patiently replied: “Brother is not drinking well and is a little drunk. Let’s go first. Please say goodbye to Young Master He for us, Brother Yongnian.”
Zhao Xizhe looked surprised: “Isn’t it? Brother Zikuan usually drinks very well, shouldn’t it be a reason?”
“Just have another drink and let me toast it!”
Pei Yunxiao finally became impatient, and the bright light in his eyes shot at Zhao Xizhe instantly, and said coldly: “Brother Yongnian, please take goodbye for us, thank you!”
Zhao Xizhe was taken aback, and finally realized that there was something wrong with the atmosphere.
Pei Yunxiao knew that she might be angry, but she couldn’t take care of that much anymore.
Tang Heng’s hand has been squeezed onto the skin of her wrist along the cuffs of her clothes at this moment, holding it tightly.
Pei Yunxiao didn’t feel offended, she knew that Tang Hang was also involuntarily.
With a backhand, she also held Tang Hang’s wrist with her back, trying to support his body, and the steps under her feet accelerated again.
Finally, the two came to the carriage at the gate of the mansion, and she drove Tang Heng into the carriage. She was about to follow in, but was pushed by Tang Heng.
“Brother Xiao, you go… drive.”
Tang Heng was sweating on his forehead, and his neck was slightly violent. He leaned against the corner of the carriage, enduring pain.
Pei Yunxiao would subconsciously refuse: “How can I do it, I have to…”
The words that were not spoken suddenly stopped, and his eyes swept across Tang Hang’s forbearance, and a trace of panic appeared on Pei Yunxiao’s face.
She…understood what Tang Heng meant.
