Chapter 201 Zheng's Birthday Banquet (3)
"This jade fat is like balm, which is used to cleanse your face, but it is much better than balm."
A young lady obviously had just washed her hands with jade fat. She raised her snow-white jade hands and said to the girls: "Everyone knows that it is difficult to wash off foundation and rouge with balm. One at a time has to be used. If you accidentally get a little bit of it, the noodles juice will flow into your neck. There is no problem with this jade fat. Just apply a little bit on the towel and then you can wash your face clean. Look at my hands. After using jade fat, it is delicate and white, much better than balm."
"Mrs. Wen, where did you try it?"
"In the makeup room, by the way, there is jade fat for customers there. You can use your own. You can learn how to use it first, and then try it slowly when you go home."
When the women heard that there was jade fat in the makeup room, they walked towards the makeup room one after another. All the women were eager to try it.
Mrs. Pan didn't follow her because her hands were bigger and darker, so she didn't want to reveal her true colors in front of the women.
At this moment, she suddenly found a young man standing behind the pillar more than ten steps away, as if listening to the women's conversation.
She was furious and walked over quickly, blocking the young man. She opened her almond eyes wide and glared at the young man and said, "Who are you? What are you peeping here?"
The young man is naturally Li Yanqing. He is listening to women's evaluation of soap, but unexpectedly he was discovered by a middle-aged lady, which made him a little embarrassed.
"The students have always been here, just because they are afraid to disturb their wives' interest, so they dare not show up."
After saying that, Li Yanqing bowed his hand and was about to pull out his feet and slip away.
Mrs. Pan was not willing to let him go easily. She immediately threatened Li Yanqing, "If you dare to leave again, I will scream."
Seeing that there were women around him, if the woman shouted, "What a pervert or a disciple, it would be difficult to tell a word about it, and it would ruin his reputation, he had to stop and said in a disappointment: "Mrs. and I don't know each other before, why should the wife make things difficult for me?"
Seeing that he stopped, Mrs. Pan couldn't help feeling a little proud, so she smiled and said, "As long as you answer my questions honestly, I won't make things difficult for you."
"Madam, ask if you have any questions!"
"What's your name? Where to read?"
"I'm going to study in the Imperial Academy." Li Yanqing replied angrily.
"Oh! So you are a student."
Mrs. Pan's face sank, "Since you are a student, you should be knowledgeable and polite. Why should you hide behind the pillar and eavesdrop on the woman's words?"
Li Yanqing was really a little unhappy and said coldly: "I am not interested in eavesdropping on women. If Mrs. Lady has no other problems, I will say goodbye!"
After saying that, Li Yanqing turned around and left.
"Wait a minute!"
Mrs. Pan called him behind her back, but Li Yanqing ignored her and accelerated her pace and walked outside.
Mrs. Pan watched him walk out of the door, and she just threatened Li Yanqing, how could a noble lady with a status like her begs to shout casually?
"What's wrong with Madam?"
The host Zheng Sheng's wife Zhang appeared beside her and asked with concern.
"Nothing! It's just... a young man almost bumped into me just now, and I'm a little unhappy."
"Oh! I wonder which young man is so reckless?"
"I don't know which young student he is. He is a student of the great school, named Li Yanqing."
"Li Yanqing?"
Zhang frowned slightly. She seemed to have heard of this name. She thought about it and finally remembered it. She smiled and said, "He is the little boss of Baoyanzhai, and he sacrificed his life in the Taixue school. He is my friend of Tai'er."
Then Mrs. Pan suddenly realized that it was the little boss of Baoyanzhai. No wonder she had to eavesdrop on the woman. When she heard that Li Yanqing was actually a sacrificial student at the Imperial Academy, she immediately became interested and asked, "What is his background? I mean, whose child is he?"
"It shouldn't be a background! I heard from Taier that he was from a poor family. Last year, the number one in the Xiangzhou Examination was released. He was very good at studying and was a little better than my Taier."
Mrs. Pan began to think about her. She sacrificed her life at the Imperial Academy. Even if she couldn't get the imperial examination, she could still be an official as a Jinshi. Judging from her age, she was about the same age as her youngest daughter, but she was still the little boss of Baoyanzhai. Her family was also rich, so she might be able to become her son-in-law.
At this moment, Mrs. Pan's disgust towards Li Yanqing suddenly disappeared without a trace. She began to feel that the young man she had just met was really good, and she had to discuss this with the master immediately.
Mrs. Pan was decisive in doing things. She thanked Zhang, turned around and walked quickly towards her seat.
.........
Li Yanqing got rid of the entanglement of the noble lady just now, walked out of the Alum Tower, and came to the courtyard of the Alum Tower.
The courtyard of the Alum Tower is extremely elegantly decorated, with rockery scattered in an orderly manner, and forests are paved like clouds. Although the woods are not big, they are rich and green, giving people a delicate and pleasing look.
The ground is paved with cobblestones to form a winding path, walking along the path, taking a step by step, and many guests enjoy the unique scenery in the courtyard.
As soon as Li Yanqing walked down the steps, he heard a harsh laughter, breaking the tranquility of the courtyard. Many guests frowned and looked at the noise.
It was in an exquisite pavilion, where five young men were gathered together to talk about something, and Zheng Rongtai was among them. Li Yanqing immediately recognized the other four people, one was Gao Song, the son of Gao Qiu, the other two were a pair of brothers from the Xiang family, Xiang Cong and Xiang Huan, and the other was Liang Qing, the adopted son of Yang Jian, the general manager of the Inner Palace.
These four people are Zheng Rongtai's close friends. Zheng Rongtai's five places were given to Li Yanqing, and the other four places were given to these four people. Li Yanqing was about to avoid him, but Zheng Rongtai suddenly saw him and waved and shouted: "Brother!"
Li Yanqing had no choice but to step forward with a tough bullet. Zheng Rongtai introduced to him: "These are my four friends, Gao Song, Xiang Cong, Xiang Huan, and Liang Qing, everyone will take care of you in the future."
The four of them were all famous playboys in Bianjing City. Dating them was really detrimental to their reputation. Moreover, the four of them looked arrogant and disdainful of knowing Li Yanqing. Li Yanqing said lightly: "Brother Zheng, I have something to do, so let's go first."
Li Yanqing turned around and left, Liang Qing snorted coldly, "This kid is quite arrogant. How could Zheng Erlang have such a friend?"
"Haha! It's too students, they are all a little aloof, which is normal!"
"That may not be!"
Gao Song looked at Li Yanqing's back coldly and said, "We have three tyrants here, Erlang and Xiang Daxianger, and we have never seen you be noble. I think this kid is itchy and he has to beat him up and make him honest."
"No! No!" Zheng Rongtai quickly dissuaded, "It's all friends, don't hurt the harmony."
"We just tease him and don't really hurt the harmony."
Gao Song winked at Liang Qing and Xiang brothers, and the four of them chased Li Yanqing's back, and Zheng Rongtai saw that the situation was not good, so he hurried to find his father to rescue him. He couldn't stop these yamen from causing trouble.
"Boy, stop here!"
Gao Song shouted behind him, Li Yanqing stopped and saw the four people chasing him, and said with a smile: "Are you looking for me?"
"Boy, what's the point just now? Don't you give our brother some face?"
Four people blocked Li Yanqing from one in front and one behind, and Gao Song pulled out his big fan from the back of his neck. Gao Song's big fan was made by a famous family with a fine iron fan bone. It weighs five kilograms. It is nominally a fan, but in fact it is a weapon.
At this time, Liang Qing also pressed the ring on his right middle finger, and a short steel needle popped out, with strong anesthetic on the steel needle. After being stabbed, her whole body was sore and weak. Liang Qing usually used it to deal with women. Now he has no followers, so he had to do it himself.
The Xiang brothers also each had a sharp dagger. Li Yanqing smiled, "The four of you don't give Fatty Zheng any face and insist on fighting in the alum building? Why don't we fight outside and come in after the fight."
"Boy, don't be stubborn. It's still time to beg for mercy now."
Gao Song knocked Li Yanqing on the shoulder with a fan. They didn't really want to fight, but wanted Li Yanqing to kneel down and beg for mercy and tease him.
Unexpectedly, Li Yanqing stretched out his hand and grabbed his fan, smiled and said, "This fan is good. Thank you Brother Gao for your good wishes. I'll accept it!"
He thought that Tang Huai happened to need such a fan, so he took it away casually. Gao Song was stunned. His fan was taken away, which was something that had never happened before.
He was not stupid. Knowing that they had met a powerful person, he hurriedly winked at Liang Qing. Liang Qing laughed dryly, "It seems like a misunderstanding! Let's apologize, brother, don't be angry."
He reached out to pat Li Yanqing's arm to express comfort. Why didn't Li Yanqing know his trick? He reached out and pinched Liang Qing's wrist and said coldly: "Do you want the poisonous needle to harm me?"
Liang Qing felt that his bones were cracked, and he screamed in pain and said tremblingly: "It's not poison, it's just numb... numbness, no one will die!"
"It turned out to be anesthetics, Brother Yang is so polite."
As he said that, Li Yanqing wiped off Liang Qing's ring and stabbed him directly into his wrist with a steel needle. Liang Qing trembled all over and couldn't say a word. When Li Yanqing let go, he sat on the ground and felt weak all over.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the other three turned around and ran away. Li Yanqing wanted to take down the three of them, but he didn't want to cause trouble again. Today is Zheng Rongtai's grandfather's 70th birthday, and the minimum face is to be given to Zheng Rongtai.
He did not chase after the three of them, but just smiled at Liang Qing and said, "Brother Liang, have a good rest!"
Chapter completed!
