Bi Yunfei quietly pulled the hem of Gu Qingzhou's clothes under the table and whispered: "Gu... Gu Guogong, after all, he made the order yesterday, why not... let's change it?"
Gu Qingzhou's drunken eyes squinted, he raised his wine glass high and said to Bi Yunfei with a big tongue: "Don't... My lord, my lord... we are separated. I am two years older than you, so you will call me big brother from now on!"
Everyone in the Cui family stood aside and watched eagerly. Bi Yunfei was on pins and needles, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet. He also picked up the wine glass and touched it with Gu Qingzhou. He said, "Yes, Brother Gu, I have taken note of it!" He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"That's right!" Gu Qingzhou laughed loudly, squinting at the Cui family members next to him and said: "Get out, get out of here! I eat wine... I hate it when others are in the eyes... I count to three, and it's all mine. Disappear before your eyes...otherwise...don't blame me for hitting someone!"
After he finished speaking, he smiled contemptuously and crazily, drank the wine in one gulp, and stood up unsteadily.
Cui Mengshu and the others' faces were ashen, and they couldn't help but roll up their sleeves and were about to take action.
Cui Zhixia stretched out her hand to stop her, her face turned pale, she took a deep breath and gritted her teeth and said: "Since Mr. Gu is unwilling to give in, I will not disturb Mr. Guo's pleasure. Farewell!" After that, he waved his hands and we left.
A few people walked to the door. Gu Qingzhou's eyes widened, he stood up holding on to the table and said loudly: "Wait a minute, don't forget to pay the bill for the food and wine on this table when you leave!"
After saying that, he looked up to the sky and laughed a few times. He stopped looking at them, sat down again, picked up the wine glass, and called Bi Yunfei with a stiff tongue: "Come...brother, have a drink...big brother...let's toast you too..."
Cui Zhixia's figure stagnated, her face became paler, she clenched her fists with both hands so hard that the veins on her hands stood up and her shoulders trembled.
He is the grandson that Old Mrs. Cui values the most. Everyone in the family respects him. Even the elders are polite to him. Today, he suffered such a shame and humiliation in front of his own family. At this moment, he really wants to kill Gu Qingzhou.
Cui Zhixia clenched his fists and dug his long nails into the flesh of his palms. The stinging pain in his palms kept him awake and rational, reminding him that he couldn't take action, at least not now.
Gu Qingzhou tilted his head and looked across the table at Cui Zhixia standing still. He rolled his eyelids and sneered disdainfully: What? Not convinced? ...want...to hit me? Come on... ah, I can't move... come and hit... I'll try... If you don't have any eggs... get out of here quickly, don't... taint my eyes! "
Bi Yunfei looked at the scene in front of him, and his outlook on life was completely subverted.
Two days ago, Gu Qingzhou took him to drink. The famous water banquet in the capital cost eighty-five taels of silver. Gu Qingzhou didn't even blink and casually took out a hundred-tael silver note from his arms. , and threw it coolly to the waiter, saying there was no need to look for it.
Today, the son of the Minister of Civil Affairs, the Cui family of Fanyang County, the richest in the world, had his tail between his legs in front of Gu Qingzhou, not even daring to let out a fart. This is the power of aristocratic imperial power. No matter how high-ranking or wealthy you are, you must bow before the absolute aristocratic and imperial power.
Bi Yunfei's chest was heaving, and his blood was rushing to the sky. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, and secretly swore in his heart: This is how a man is born, and I will have such power in the future, no matter the cost...
Several people walked out of the Grand View Tower, Cui Zhixia said nothing with a gloomy face.
Cui Mengshu carefully flattered him and said: "Master Cui, there is Deweilou not far ahead. The chef inside is a chef from Dongyang Kingdom. The dishes are extremely exquisite. How about... let's go there and try it?"
Cui Zhixia hummed, and Cui Mengshu hurried to the front to lead the way.
Everyone sat down in the best room in Dewei Building. The waiter served the dishes one after another. Cui Zhixia's anger had been suppressed.
Among the few people, he was not the oldest, but he sat in the main seat, and others felt that it was natural for them to do so.
Cui Zhixia picked up a glass of wine, and the others quickly picked it up. He took a sip and said with a cold expression: "Gu Qingzhou must be killed, but it is not the time yet. The emperor still misses the kindness of the Gu family. Secondly, many civil and military officials in the court Veteran, I have received more or less favors from the Gu family before, so now... it is not the time to kill him. When our Longmen Academy completely suppresses the Zhixingyuan and helps the emperor cleanse the Zhixingyuan and other cronies in the court, then ...I will kill him with my own hands!"
After hearing this, everyone was excited and praised Cui Zhixia for his foresight. In the future, he would only be willing to follow Young Master Cui's lead.
Cui Zhixia pressed his hand down, and everyone stopped talking. He looked around and continued: "You are all selected by the old lady to enter Zhixingyuan. Don't have any resentment in your heart. After entering Zhixingyuan, you will Following Cui Mengshu's orders, we must unite as one and recruit more outstanding talents from Zhixingyuan so that they can be used by me in the future. We must also suppress those stubborn dissidents with various means. At the same time, regarding the way of civil and military affairs, you must not Don't be lazy. At this time next year, our Longmen Academy will have a competition with Zhixingyuan. If Longmen Academy wins comprehensively, the emperor will have a reason to suppress Zhixingyuan. Let's wait and see... Our era is coming, wait for my father to do it When you become prime minister and reward according to your merits, don’t say I didn’t remind you!”
It must be said that Cui Zhixia is still very capable of leadership, and his words are very stimulating and seductive. Everyone was eager to hear this, and stood up happily. Stars surrounded him like stars holding the moon, and they took turns to toast and compete to express their loyalty. .
Cui Mengshu's face turned red, he clapped his chest hard and said loudly: "Young Master Cui only needs to say a word, brothers will fight to the death...!" In his excitement, he touched the injury on his ribs, his brows furrowed in pain, and a flash of light flashed across his face. After a trace of anger, he secretly said in his heart: He An, little bastard, just wait for me, I will never spare you.
Gu Qingzhou drank the wine to his heart's content. He stood up and opened the window with great satisfaction. The bright moon was hanging high outside, and he could see the sparkling water of the Luo River in the distance. There were several small boats moored on the river, and the lights were dim and cold. The night wind blew against his face, making Gu Qingzhou sober.
Although Gu Qingzhou was born into a noble family, due to the influence of his father, he still had a jealous temper in his heart. Although he himself was arrogant and domineering, he couldn't bear to see others being more arrogant and domineering than him. Today, he outdid everyone in the Cui family and felt very happy.
He also told Bi Yunfei about his past glorious deeds, helping Shopkeeper Liu of Cross Street to recover his stolen shop, helping the residents of Jiamaying Hutong to clean up the flying knife gang that collects protection fees, and teaching the geishas of Deyi Square a lesson for the misbehaving officials. The children of the family, etc., in Luoyang City, there are two kinds of black and white, no one dares not to give him face, his own words are even more effective than the government.
In my entire life, the most despised person in my life is someone who acts tyrannically and bullies the weak. This chivalrous and bravery has long been spread throughout Luoyang City. Among the common people and the princes in the court, who knows my name, Gu Qingzhou?
Gu Qingzhou spoke eloquently, and Bi Yunfei was full of praise. He was originally from a poor background, and he had been able to assess the situation and watch people's emotions since he was a child. Today, he saw Gu Qingzhou's overwhelming power and knew the other person's identity as a prince, and he deliberately wanted to please him.
He considered the words to greet the other party and flattered the Duke of Guo without any trace, which was very useful to Gu Qingzhou and he had already regarded Bi Yunfei as a confidant in his heart.
When the two of them were drinking heavily, Gu Qingzhou sighed: "Despite my brother's appearance of being bohemian, in fact, things in this world often go wrong, but you can't talk to anyone more than a few words. Today... I came to my brother just to drown my sorrows with wine!"
Bi Yunfei wondered: "No wonder my elder brother's face has been unhappy tonight. Is there anything else in this world that can stump my elder brother?"
Gu Qingzhou smiled bitterly, raised his head and drank a glass of wine, and told what happened between him and Ding Wenruo.
Bi Yunfei poured another glass of wine for Gu Qingzhou and mused: "It turns out that the eldest brother is trapped by love. He has such a true temperament and is the true nature of a man! I have a way... I can't say that Miss Ding will definitely change her mind, but she will definitely have an impression of the eldest brother... Even my attitude has changed a lot!”
Gu Qingzhou's eyes lit up, he took a sip of wine, slapped the table and said hastily: "Brother, do you have any clever ideas? Tell me quickly!"
Bi Yunfei said: "Miss Ding is the daughter of the prime minister's house, and the eldest brother is a dragon and a phoenix among people. Regardless of family background and appearance, he and Miss Ding are of the same family, and they are a good match. I think that Miss Ding's daily contacts should be with ministers of the court or children of well-educated Confucian families. , what she likes in her heart should be a knowledgeable, courteous, gentle and talented man. The reason why she rejects her eldest brother thousands of miles away is simply that she doesn't like his wild and romantic temperament. In the future, as long as the eldest brother no longer makes or contacts those people in Miss Ding's eyes, You are a so-called fox friend. From then on, you actively study hard and become gentle, elegant and gentle. Miss Ding's impression of you will definitely be greatly improved... From now on, eldest brother and Miss Ding will study together in Zhixingyuan, and they will get along day and night and fall in love with each other. I can't imagine it. , with my eldest brother’s character and style, how could Miss Ding not be tempted?”
Gu Qingzhou held his chin and thought carefully. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Bi Yunfei's words made sense. He slapped his hand on the table excitedly: "Okay! Okay! Excellent! Listening to the words of the wise brother Yunfei, it was like seeing the sun through the clouds and suddenly enlightened! Brother, Please drink!"
The two of them drank and enjoyed themselves. Gu Qingzhou staggered down to the second floor with Bi Yunfei. The cowards of the Cui family actually settled the bill. He felt proud and happy, and dragged Bi Yunfei onto his carriage. , I had to send him back to Zhixingyuan.
Bi Yunfei was sitting in Gu Qingzhou's carriage. The carriage made of golden nan was spacious and comfortable, with striped tiger leather upholstery. The windows were carved with exquisite patterns, and there were hidden compartments on the carriage walls filled with snacks and fruits. Hanging down the bead curtain, you can still clearly see the window through the gap in the curtain, but you can't see the inside from the outside. The fragrance floats in the carriage, which is extremely luxurious and luxurious.
Bi Yunfei looked at it quietly, feeling extremely shocked, but on the surface he was sitting upright without looking away.
Gu Qingzhou said that the carriage was a reward from the emperor, and the ministers in the court did not have this honor. In the entire Chen Empire, there were only a handful of people who could receive such a fragrant carriage from his majesty. Bi Yunfei was extremely envious in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it at all on his face.
At the gate of Zhixingyuan, Bi Yunfei got off the car, and Gu Qingzhou ordered the driver to turn back to the Duke's Mansion. Although he has a place to live in Zhixingyuan, it is just for fun and he will not stay in that simple place at all.
Bi Yunfei returned to the dormitory. The room was empty. The two unlucky guys had not come out from the solitary confinement.
He sat at the table, took out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Under the moonlight and the cool breeze, he dipped his brush in ink and wrote on a piece of yellowed paper: Yunfei kneels down to express his gratitude to his mother, may you be blessed and safe. After thinking for a while, he scratched it out with a brush. The ink dripped and stained most of the paper. Bi Yunfei crumpled it into a ball and spread out another piece of paper.
After thinking for a while, he wrote again: Dear mother, Fei'er paused. You hid ten taels of silver notes in my package. I have enough, and I will send it back to you. If you are not in good health, please contact the village head Sun. The doctor will grab some good medicine to replenish it. My son will definitely work hard in Zhixingyuan, mother, don’t worry.
Bi Yunfei rubbed his eyes, glanced at the empty room, and continued to write: I got to know the Protector of the Country, Mr. Gu Qingzhou. He has a noble and distinguished status and has shown me many things that I have never seen before. My son will be very prosperous in the future. I will buy a big house in the capital and bring you here to enjoy your happiness. My son is here, everything is fine, don’t think about it, just write this, my son needs to review his lessons, kneel down and worship again...
After finishing writing this letter to the Feng family, Bi Yunfei rubbed his eyebrows and looked up at the moon outside the window, as if a blazing fire was rising in his eyes.
