Chapter 205 Today is very different

Inside Qingyun Tower.

Everyone has arrived.

All the original restaurant waiters were given a day off today, leaving only the shopkeeper working the counter on the first floor.

The second floor.

Yang Wenyuan and others had already sat down in a wing room. The adjacent room was for the women, separated by a screen.

As soon as I sat down, I saw Gu Tingye showing a gloating expression and said:

"Guess if Yuan Ruo can come tonight?"

Changbai's expression changed immediately:

"You also called me young master?"

"Why can't I shout?"

Before Gu Tingye could say anything, Chang Feng started to speak up for him:
"The young master is also studying at home. He has just finished his exam today. What's wrong with shouting? I'm sure the princess will understand."

Chang Feng didn't know about what happened between Qi Heng and Minglan, and was still thinking about bringing his sister and the young master together. Although he felt it was impossible, he always heard his sister say that the young master liked to peek at her when she was practicing calligraphy, and he thought that he liked her calligraphy, so it was not impossible that he loved her and the young master was attracted to her too.

We should always be optimistic.

Gu Tingye immediately echoed:

"Yes, yes, yes! We are all classmates, we just come out for a meal, and besides, Yuan Ruo may not be able to come out."

Anyway, it was a relaxing day today, and Yang Wenyuan was in a good mood, so he said:

"In this case, how about a gamble?"

Gu Tingye immediately started to make a noise:
"What do you suggest?"

"Let's bet on whether Qi Heng will come today."

Yang Wenyuan glanced at Hua Lan, and seeing that Hua Lan didn't pay attention to him, he said softly:

"Choose a side, and if you lose, you drink."

Chang Feng was the first to respond:
"Good good!"

Changbai was also instigated by Gu Tingye to choose Qi Heng, so he couldn't come.

The Duke's Mansion of Qi.

When Qi Heng saw Shitou coming to his house, he didn't want to go at first, but when he heard that the girl from the Sheng family might also come, he immediately put his previous idea to the back of his mind.

Go, you must go!

So Qi Heng immediately went to talk to his mother, Princess Pingning.

"Go and have a drink with Gu Tingye and the others?"

Princess Pingning frowned immediately.

She hadn't seen her son for a few days and was thinking about having a good meal and chatting with her family. Now that Qi Heng wanted to go out for a drink, she was a little reluctant, let alone with Gu Tingye.

Qi Heng's mind was very flexible, and he quickly said:
"Not only Uncle Gu, but also Young Marquis Yang and Changbai and Changfeng from the Sheng family. They are all taking the exam together. I believe they will discuss the exam questions in the evening so that they can have a general idea in advance."

Princess Pingning thought this made sense and nodded slowly.

"Then go ahead, but remember not to come back late. Your father and I will be waiting for you at home."

Qi Heng's expression brightened, and he immediately said:
"Yes! The child must return home early."

Qi Heng happily went to wash and get ready, while Princess Pingning looked at Qi Heng's happy back and fell into silent thought.

Then he asked Nanny Li to call Buwei over.

Looking at Bu Wei who was standing below and didn't understand what was going on, Princess Pingning said calmly:

"Young Master will go out for a drink later. There will be a lot of people around. Remember to keep an eye on him for me."

Without bowing for the sake of greeting, he said:
"Yes, Princess!"

Princess Pingning paused, then continued:
"Also keep an eye out to see if there are any seductresses coming up to you. Now that you have finished your imperial examinations, you are even more popular in their eyes."

"Yes!"

Buwei lowered his head and glanced at the corner of the brocade skirt in the distance.

He knew that the young master was going to have dinner with Yang Wenyuan and others.

As for whether there is a sixth daughter of the Sheng family, Buwei doesn’t know.

But seeing Qi Heng's sudden change of attitude, Buwei had already guessed that the Sixth Miss of the Sheng family would probably go as well.

Could it be that the princess' words had some hidden meaning?
Buwei shook his head violently in his heart.

"It shouldn't be. Otherwise, given the princess's personality, she would have broken up the couple long ago. How could she have endured for so long?"

"Go ahead, I'll talk to you when you come back in the evening."

"Yes!"

Inside Qingyun Tower.

Qi Heng finally arrived in a hurry.

As soon as he entered the door, he immediately apologized to all the brothers.

"Drink, drink!"

When Gu Tingye saw Qi Heng coming, he immediately asked Changbai to drink.

That’s right, Changbai just chose that Qi Heng would not come.

Qi Heng found this strange and asked the reason immediately. Only then did he realize that they were betting with him, and he quickly stepped forward to help Chang Bai drink.

However, he was stopped by Gu Tingye.

"I don't need your help. You're late, so you have to drink a penalty drink!"

After saying that, he filled another glass of wine and handed it to Qi Heng.

Qi Heng couldn't refuse, so after looking at Chang Bai, he drank it all in one gulp.

"That's right!" Gu Tingye was delighted.

At this time, Chang Feng suddenly came over and spoke to Gu Tingye with his body bent. Yang Wen was standing close by and could hear everything clearly.

"Second brother, are we just going to drink tonight, nothing else?"

Yang Wenyuan immediately showed a half-smile expression, and suddenly said:

"Brother Feng, what else are you thinking about? Do you want to listen to some music?"

"No no no!"

Chang Feng waved his hands hastily to prove his innocence:

"My sisters are all here, of course I won't, but wait a minute..."

After saying that, Chang Feng looked at Gu Tingye with an ambiguous expression and blinked.

"I'm not going." Gu Tingye whispered.

He was still thinking of becoming a good man so as to marry Yu Yanran, so naturally he was unwilling to break his plan now.

Chang Feng's interest immediately diminished a lot.

Food color, sex too.

If we don't take advantage of such a good opportunity to get together with the chief courtesans, wouldn't it be a waste of the beautiful scenery?

Seeing that Chang Feng was somewhat uninterested, Gu Tingye simply said:

"You can go if you want, but you'll have to put the blame on me if you go alone."

Chang Feng immediately became full of energy:

"Are you serious, brother?"

"Of course it's true!"

Gu Tingye was a little impatient. The money from the flower house was just a drop in the bucket for him. His cousins ​​at home usually owed him money, but it didn't matter to him now. It didn't matter to Changfeng this time.

Gu Tingye immediately teased:

"But it's just this once tonight. There won't be more after this. You can decide for yourself how many you want."

"!!" Chang Feng's eyes immediately widened.

Can't I play with two winds, three winds, four... with one dragon tonight?
After a while, Chang Feng gradually came back to his senses.

But after that he didn't drink much, but ate a lot of venison and leeks.

It seems that it is not enough.

After a moment, he whispered something to his personal attendant, who turned around and left quickly, never to return.

However, afterward, Yang Wenyuan heard Chang Qing's description and it seemed that Chang Feng's servant secretly stuffed something into Chang Feng's pocket after the banquet. It was a little hard to see clearly because it was dark, but it looked like a medicine bag.

But that's all for later. Right now, everyone at the table was very happy, including Yang Wenyuan.

This is just like when I went to the Internet cafe to stay up all night after the college entrance examination. The burden on my shoulders suddenly became light, and I couldn't help but indulge myself to feel better.

Yang Wenyuan was happy, and Hualan was equally lively.

It was so hard to get together, and even though we were not at home, without the restraint of elders, we were still full of laughter and sweet smiles.

Looking at the happy people, Yang Wenyuan felt quite touched.

This scene is no longer the college entrance examination, but more like graduation season.

Once the examination results are announced, the path of life will suddenly diverge.

Those who pass the exam will start to shoulder the responsibilities of being a man and will no longer be as carefree as they are now.

Those who didn’t pass the exam still have to work hard, but their mindset is completely different.

No one knew what the women were doing, but Minglan stood up. Qi Heng also took advantage of the situation and made a toast to Minglan, looking at her frequently. Under the influence of alcohol, their original feelings became even stronger.

Yang Wenyuan also saw this scene.

'Hope we all have a good future!'

……

Drink heartily and get drunk.

Everyone said goodbye and left.

In the Yang family carriage.

Yang Wenyuan drank a lot of wine tonight and was leaning on Hualan's shoulder, reeking of alcohol. Hualan's pretty face was also red. When the atmosphere was lively, she also had a few drinks, but she was not as drunk as Yang Wenyuan.

"lady?"

"Hmm?" Hua Lan let out an inexplicable moan.

"Mrs. Shengda?"

"Ok?"

Hua Lan wrinkled her nose, looked at Yang Wenyuan with disdain, and muttered:
"You are really drunk!"

“Hey, hey, hey~!”

Yang Ruijin had already covered her eyes with a look of disgust as she watched the couple showing their affection, but when she saw the two of them still putting their faces close together and making out, Yang Ruijin finally couldn't help but complain.

"Cousin, sister-in-law, there is another person here!"

They should be arrested and criticized for showing affection in broad daylight in front of a young girl like her!

Yang Wenyuan was thick-skinned, so he naturally didn't think there was anything wrong.

Hua Lan's face immediately turned red with embarrassment, and she pushed Yang Wenyuan aside as if she had been electrocuted.

'It seems I'm a little drunk too!'

Finally, the carriage arrived at Xingguofang.

Yang Yuqing's residence.

Yang Yuqing and Madam Chen were already waiting.

Mrs. Chen led the jumping Yang Ruijin back to the house with an impatient look on her face, while Yang Yuqing looked at Yang Wenyuan, who was drunk in the carriage with his head leaning on Hualan, and a strong look of envy appeared on his face.

'My wife treated me the same way.'

This is my lost youth!

But when he thought of the cold reality of the day, Yang Yuqing walked into the house, shaking his head and sighing.

"Nephew, cherish the present moment. After a few years, you will understand your uncle's hardship!"

The carriage then returned to the Marquis of Pingyang's Mansion.

After the carriage stopped.

Hualan opened the curtain and asked Cuichan:
"Did you forget to ask me to prepare the hangover soup in the kitchen before I left?"

"No, girl."

"Okay, go to the kitchen and take it to Zi Ze Ju."

"Yes!"

The main gate of the Duke of Qi’s Mansion.

Qi Heng was so intoxicated by the ambiguity tonight, and in order to use the excuse of toasting so that he could stand up and look at Minglan, he drank quite a lot of wine. He was so drunk that he was helped into the house by Buwei.

Princess Pingning was already waiting in the front yard.

Seeing his son coming back drunk and unable to walk steadily, he frowned immediately.

Buwei lowered his head to support Qi Heng, and when he looked up, he saw the serious face of Princess Pingning. He shuddered immediately and said hurriedly:
"My Lady, the Master... the Master was very happy tonight and drank too much."

Princess Pingning nodded, and then asked the female officials who had been waiting for a long time to help Qi Heng back to his room to wash up. Qi Heng had no idea what he was thinking about at this moment, and he actually laughed foolishly while being supported, and laughed out loud.

"Where are the girls from the Sheng family going tonight?" Princess Pingning stared for a long time and suddenly asked.

Buwei was frightened, but he also knew that he couldn't hide it, so he nodded and said:

"To reply to the princess, all the girls from the Sheng family have gone."

After answering, Buwei immediately made up for it:
"It was the eldest lady of the Yang family who invited her sisters to come out and have fun together. The third young lady of the Yang family also attended the banquet."

"The third lady of the Yang family? Yang Rujin?" Princess Pingning murmured.

They all came from noble families, so Princess Pingning had also heard of and seen Yang Ruijin.

Although there are not many, I have some general impressions.

'It's a good look, but a little off.'

When she saw the results announced in the daytime, she didn't see Yang Ruijin, so she thought that the relationship between the cousins ​​was just an ordinary one. But she was wrong. It seemed that their relationship was very close.

When Princess Pingning suddenly heard Yang Rujin's name, she thought for a long time and then suddenly felt happy.

"I didn't pay much attention to Yang Rujin before, but now it seems that she is a good candidate for daughter-in-law!"

His family background is comparable to mine, and he looks good too. Coming from such a family, I think his character should not be too bad.

Isn't this much better than the concubine's daughter of the Sheng family? !

The more Princess Pingning thought about it, the more it made sense.

Moreover, both families stand on the side of the government and belong to the same faction. Wouldn't this marriage be double happiness?
Princess Pingning thought that Yang Yuqing and his wife would not refuse.

After all, in the city of Bianjing now, it is hard to find a husband better than her own Qi Heng even if you dig three feet deep in the ground.

Thinking of this, Princess Pingning felt that the problems that had troubled her for many days suddenly became clear, and the road ahead was smooth!

Princess Pingning was so happy that she didn't care about the consequences. She just told him to stay with Qi Heng and take good care of him tonight, then turned around and left to discuss with Duke Qi.

In the study room.

Princess Pingning shared her thoughts with Duke Qi, who also thought they made sense.

At that moment, I said what I had not dared to say before.

"I think, in this case, if the Sheng family's Sixth Miss Heng'er is really hard to let go, why not take her in as a concubine?" Duke Qi said slowly.

Last time, Princess Pingning was angry and Duke Qi was reluctant to say anything, but these were just the right time to open his mouth.

"You're thinking about your son, that's a good idea!"

Princess Pingning glanced at Duke Qi:
"But we need to ask the Yang family about this matter first."

The couple seemed to feel that the marriage was already a done deal.

After all, in their opinion, this marriage made in heaven was right before their eyes, and there was no reason for the Yang family to refuse!

Duke Qi said happily:
"It's okay, it's just taking in another concubine, it's a very normal thing, I think the Yang family will understand."

Princess Pingning also nodded slowly.

It is normal to welcome a concubine into the house. Even the lady of Marquis Zhongjing's family has to take a concubine into the house to stop the gossips from outside, right?

As for someone like me?
My rules don't apply to my son!
"But this matter has to wait until Heng'er passes the imperial examination, otherwise it's hard to bring it up." Princess Pingning said finally.

"Yes, indeed, Madam is very thoughtful."

Yang Wenyuan didn't know at this time that just because she came out to celebrate the end of the imperial examination tonight, his cousin Yang Ruijin was targeted by Princess Pingning.

But even if he knew, Yang Wenyuan didn't care.

Because “cherish the people around you”!
Although lust is a sword hanging over one's head, Yang Wenyuan, who has become much more sober after drinking the sobering soup, decides to go through this dangerous situation.

A gentleman hides his weapon in his body and moves when he waits for time.

Yang Wenyuan has been hiding for so many days, it’s time to show up.

Look at the dark hole ahead, I'll catch up and kill him cleanly!
