After rebirth, I abducted the future minister

Chapter 167 Embarrassment

One of the boys wearing smoke-green brocade robe asked, "Brother Pei, who are they?"

Pei Jingqian raised his eyebrows and said, "I have made friends in Wansong Academy."

He paused and faced Cui Yunhao and the others, saying, "I miss you very much after a long time of separation. Everyone, can you come here to drink and listen to the song?"

Zeng Jingxian immediately lowered his face, glanced at Pei Jingqian, waved his hand, and said with a resentment in his tone: "I'm not interested!"

Pei Jingqian didn't expect him to be so ruthless. He was a little embarrassed for a moment. He quietly clenched his fist hidden in his sleeve, then coughed dryly, and smiled hypocritically: "Senior Brother Zeng's temperament is still as free and easy as ever. Although I am no longer a disciple of Song Zhenying, I still remember it in my heart for many years of friendship. Why do you become enemies with me? Do you think I am not qualified to gather with you?"

Zeng Jingxian heard this and was about to scold him, but Shu Minhe hurriedly stepped forward to bow to Pei Jingqian and said, "Brother Pei is so serious, how can we think you are not qualified?"

Pei Jingqian refused to give in and said, "But just now, I clearly looked down on me."

Cai Jinghong looked around, estimated the time, and simply stepped forward and said, "For the kindness of Mr. Pei, we are not thin-skinned. Let's get on your boat together, reminisce about the past and listen to the song. Please don't blame us for being abrupt."

After saying that, he took Cui Yunhao, Zeng Jingxian and Shu Minhe, stepping on the springboard that Pei Jingqian ordered to put down, and walked to the second floor of the boat. Two maids wearing purple armor led them to their respective seats. Pei Jingqian was in the main position with a golden sword, and bowed and said, "After many days of separation, you are still so handsome and elegant."

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man in white robe stood up on his right side, glanced at the four of them, looked at Pei Jingqian and said, "Brother Pei is introducing us, right?"

Cui Yunhao raised his eyelids slightly, just looked at him steadily, still sitting in his seat, not even moving his butt halfway, as if he turned a deaf ear.

In an instant, the room was silent. The young men behind Pei Jingqian were all confused and stood there in confusion. Not long after, Zeng Jingxian suddenly threw the wine cup in his hand heavily on the ground and sneered: "Pei Jingqian, you are such a bastard! In the past, the master drove you out of Wuyazhai, but you didn't even speak well. Why, now you are showing off a few of us?"

After he praised this, Shu Minhe felt very shy. He lowered his eyes and bowed, "Young Master Pei, praise me."

Cai Jinghong narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly, but said nothing. Pei Jingqian then came to Cui Yunhao, his face suddenly changed, his eyes shot at him like a frost blade, and said, "I have never seen this person in the academy before, and I don't know what he is called. Could it be that he is a disciple of the master's new trick? Young Master, stand up and tell everyone what your name is, how about it?"

Pei Jingqian then stood up, looked at Shu Minhe first, and said, "His surname is Shu, his name is Minhe, and he is my former junior brother. He is the most diligent and hardworking in his daily life. He is well-educated and has great talent."

Cui Yunhao and others stopped and turned around and saw the boy in red robe picking up the wine pot on the table and throwing it at Cui Yunhao.

He may have not expected that Zeng Jingxian has not changed now. His words are vulgar and he is not like a gentle scholar at all. Master Song has vainly told him to avoid Confucianism?

Pei Jingqian silently brewed a sad mood, lowered his head along his sleeve, as if he was crying, and choked and said, "In the past, he was so angry that he was ignorant. It was reasonable for his master to expel him from the sect..."

Although Zeng Jingxian's voice was not very loud when he said this, it sounded extremely loud. Except for Cui Yunhao and the others, the other young men began to whisper to each other.

After pausing, he glared at Pei Jingqian coldly, his eyes as if a pair of black pebbles raised in the ice of clear water. It looked clear and black, but it made people tremble with bone chill. Then he said, "At that time, my master clearly told you, don't tell you in front of outsiders that you were his apprentice, but where did you get the courage to get in touch with us now? Your face is really thicker than the city wall!"

Seeing this, Shu Minhe and Zeng Jingxian immediately got up from their seats and were about to leave.

Cai Jinghong quickly grabbed Cui Yunhao's sleeve, while Zeng Jingxian grabbed Shu Minhe's arm and hurriedly avoided both sides.

He paused, saluted to the young masters present, and said, "I'm so sorry, we must take back, we have lost our companionship."

The wine pot hit the railing, and the young man in red robe just now, Cui Yunhao noticed that his seat was next to Pei Jingqian, probably a friend of Pei Jingqian.

Before he could finish his speech, Cui Yunhao, who had not spoken a word, suddenly put the wine cup on the table and coughed deliberately. Everyone's eyes immediately focused on him, and even Pei Jingqian was stunned.

Pei Jingqian laughed twice, walked to Cai Jinghong again and said, "His name is Cai Jinghong, who is the eldest of our four former disciples. Thanks to Cai who protected me in the past, otherwise I would have been bullied by others."

Pei Jingqian was so angry that his lungs were almost blown up. He originally planned to trick Cui Yunhao and the other four into the boat and let them make a fool of themselves in front of everyone, but he never expected that it was him who made the fool of himself now.

Cui Yunhao cleared his throat and said, "It's getting late, it's time for us to leave. If we go late, we will probably be scolded by our master again."

Pei Jingqian's face suddenly turned dark, and he felt that even his heart and lungs were burning. His anger made his facial features and every color on his face become very rich. His eyebrows were even more intense as if they were burning, but he still tried his best to hold on.

Cai Jinghong seemed to react suddenly and slapped his head: "That's right, I almost forgot the matter of paying homage to the master."

Cai Jinghong had just taken Cui Yunhao and the other two out of the cabin door when he suddenly heard a young man in red robe scolding: "Let's wait!"

Seeing this, Cai Jinghong looked cold as water, and looked at Pei Jingqian and said, "Pei Jingqian, what do you want to do?"

Pei Jingqian was too lazy to pretend, pulled the corners of his mouth and said fiercely: "If you say you get on the boat, you get on the boat, and if you say you leave, you leave. Do you think that the Pei family's building boat is so easy to get in and out?"

As soon as these words were said, the smell of gunpowder became stronger and stronger. Zeng Jingxian raised his head and said disdainfully: "It's just a broken ship, what's the big rich man? What's more, you whispered before and asked us to come to you and we'll give you this thin face. What else do you want? Pei Jingqian, you can be called the most despicable and shameless gentle scum I've ever seen!"

The muscles on the corners of Pei Jingqian's mouth were beating like a twitch. Zeng Jingxian still stimulated him and said, "Haha, Pei Jingqian, do you know why Master had to drive you out of the academy at that time? You did a bunch of evil deeds that harm others and benefit yourself, one by one, and Master's heart was like a mirror! Do you want to know, why do he know everything?"
