Act 12 The Bet
It was a pink horse, much taller than an ordinary horse.
Pink is so cool! There are only two horses in Chang'an!
One of them was kept in the imperial garden for a long time, and it is unlikely that ordinary people will see it.
As for the one in front of you... a white-clad young man was graceful and holding the reins. He was Wei Baoheng, the owner of the pink horse.
Whether it is Anding Xi's family or Jingzhao Wei's family, they are all characters like Chen Da who cannot afford to offend him.
Chen Da had already received news in advance that Mr. Xi, Mr. Wei and Mr. Yu Huakui had an old age. Since they were here, they were here to support the Yu sisters.
But Xi Wen did not present in person, and he could still make excuses when pretending not to know Xi's slaves.
But when Wei Baoheng came, he didn't dare to pretend to be blind anymore, so he could only go up to see the ceremony like a pug.
"Hey, Mr. Wei, what wind has blown you?"
He pretended to be unaware of it and asked for instructions. This is the experience of the world.
As the saying goes, it is said that people who are reasonable and do not blame others who do not know, Wei Baoheng is a gentleman, and it is impossible for him to be fully inspiring for this.
What's more, he is a famous scholar. How determined he is to stand up for his new concubine this fall is to be between the two.
Sure enough, Wei Baoheng did not make the matter clear, but just smiled indifferently, "Just just now, I heard from the bad patrolman who was patrolling that someone was causing trouble in the West City. At that time, I was thinking, Chang'an City is at the foot of the emperor, how could anyone be arrogant in broad daylight? Do you really think that the government is a decoration? If you really know a few officials, you can be lawless? A brick fell in Chang'an City, and the one who killed either the court officials or the young master. I am used to being arrogant, and one day I will kick it on the iron plate. Mr. Chen, don't you think so?"
"Hey, hey!" Chen Dada didn't dare to confront the master in front of him, so he could only be submissive and nodded and bowed.
He knew that he could no longer find the bad luck of the Yu sisters today, so he turned around and wanted to call his brothers to disperse.
At this moment, a bare head squeezed out of the crowd.
This person is handsome, with a straight nose, and looks like a modern ascetic handsome man, but he even wears a white silk monk's robe, which is spotless, making the onlookers feel like they are possessed, suffering from the contradiction of wanting to eat but not being able to eat.
"Young Master Wei, I'll be lucky, I'll be lucky!"
The handsome guy dressed in a monk started greeting Wei Baoheng from a distance.
Wei Baoheng also smiled and bowed his hand to return the gift.
"Isn't this the young master of the Pei family? I haven't seen each other for a long time, but the young master is even more handsome."
Pei Wende, Li Pei's cousin, did Wei Baoheng know why he appeared at this time? But everyone should be polite in terms of face. This is the basic rule of interaction in the young master circle.
Pei Wende also pretended to be calm and said in the same tone as Wei Baoheng just now: "Oh, I heard that there is a Qinfang in the West City to recruit students, but he is not honest, and sells dog meat with a sheep's head. He hired musicians in the palace to prepare noodles. In fact, the only one who taught the piano was just a good brothel. The spectators had some conflicts about this. People did not have faith, and this kind of thing was really despicable. So I came over to see if these people were really fearless, so they acted arbitrarily."
Well, after such a big hat is tied back, it turns out that the Yu sisters bully the market, and it also alludes to Wei Baoheng as their reliance.
This made Wei Baoheng so angry that he rolled his eyes, but why did his father be Li Gang... No, no, Pei Xiu, the best veteran in the court today.
In the circle of young masters, first of all, it is to fight for his father, secondly, it is to fight for his horse, and then it is to fight for his horse. As for other knowledge and martial arts, it is insignificant.
My father is good, even if he is rare, he can't be tough. Wei Baoheng can only wave his hand to smile, "What are you talking about Mr. Pei? Yu Youwei, who taught, is originally a courtesan from Pingkangli. She is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her skills are not bad. Chen Leshi has an old age with her, so it is understandable to support the scene."
"Oh? From Mr. Wei's tone, I used to visit Pingkangli. I was also an old acquaintance with Yuhua Gu?"
Although it was not embarrassing for scholars to go to the fireworks place at that time, Wei Baoheng was a tribute student of this year, so he still had to be somewhat worried at such an age. What's more, Yu Youwei's courtesan was a thing of the past year, and later he married Li Guixue.
It seems that I was a bit too heavy to say that I had known the concubine who was the supervisor before Guannian.
Therefore, Wei Baoheng was eager to clear his relationship. Obviously, it was not enough to wave his hand. He shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, I didn't know Miss Fish before."
Pei Wende is still not yin or yang, and still has the same cold-hearted style. "That's good. There are so many brothel women, and not all of them have outstanding piano skills. Will teaching by her mislead people? How do you know, Mr. Wei?"
Fortunately, Wei Baoheng had a clear idea and knew the fundamental solution to this problem. "It's a mule or a horse, just pull it out and you'll know it. I think Miss Fish doesn't mind showing us the piano skills in person, right?"
Yuhua Gua's fame was once the most beautiful person in Chang'an, and Wei Baoheng was naturally confident in her piano skills. At this time, he deliberately amplified his voice a little so that the other party could hear it, and gave some positive feedback to block the mouth of the fake monk in front of him.
Yu Youwei had a wound on her head, but after a simple bandage, it was not a big deal, but she looked even more pitiful.
She knew the young masters in the capital well, so naturally she would not be unable to recognize Pei Wende, nor would she not be able to guess the purpose of the other party. When she heard Wei Baoheng's hint, she had guessed most of the conversation between the two, and then bowed to Yingying here, "People Pei, Mr. Wei, and the young girl Yu Youwei are willing to play a piano on the spot to prove it."
Pei Wende took a deep breath, as if he was sighing, and as if he was regretting, "I don't understand the piano. Mr. Wei, I'm afraid you are not much better than me, right?"
How did Wei Baoheng answer this? I don’t look like you, can I? What if Pei Wende is mixing pigs and eating tigers, and he is really compared him, he will not be slapped in the face and killed the club on the spot?
So Wei Baoheng had to admit defeat, "Haha, I don't understand this very much..."
"That's good! Let's let those who understand talk about this kind of thing. Yu Huagong!" Pei Wende suddenly turned his head and looked at Yu Youwei.
Yu Youwei could only give another gust and wait for the young master to speak.
"It's better for us to bet on a game. One person plays and one person sings. If you win, the matter will be done today. If you lose... Hey, what kind of piano class should you not be able to drive it?"
When Yu Youwei heard this, she said, this suggestion is fair. In the past, I have never heard of a person like Pei Wende in the singing industry, so I naturally would not lose to him.
"Okay, that's what the young master wants!"
Yu Youwei bowed again and said that she had agreed to the bet.
Chapter completed!
