The First Marquis of Leisure
Chapter 57 The Richest Man's Son
Although the Yuan family's revenge has been temporarily resolved, Bai Xinghe does not dare to let his guard down.
Since Qian Guanglu said it himself, it means that the Yuan family must have something to do in secret.
Therefore, Qian Yuan was truly loyal, always going wherever Bai Xinghe went, and even bringing along several trusted followers.
Just in case, after a while, Qian Yuan would often go to Hu Xing'er's house in the south of the city.
Bai Xinghe naturally understood the meaning behind this, and he also noticed that Hu Xing'er admired him exceptionally much.
Therefore, he also intentionally wanted to create conditions for Qian Yuan and Myolie Wu.
If Qian Yuan, the son of the Vice Minister of War, could get together with Myolie Wu, it would be a good thing for both grandfather and grandson.
The next few days passed peacefully like this.
On this day, someone from the Doctor's residence suddenly arrived at the Qian residence. And the visitor was none other than Li Chentian himself, along with Li Ming and the others from before!
This startled Bai Xinghe, who hurriedly ran into the side room and claimed that he was unwell and unable to receive guests.
Although Qian Yuan was curious, he didn't think much of it, because he knew that his moment of glory was about to begin.
"Dr. Li, what brings you here?"
Qian Guanglu was somewhat flattered to see Li Chentian's son come to his residence.
They rushed out to greet him, initially thinking that Qian Yuan had gotten into some trouble outside.
"Qian Yuan, get out here right now!"
Qian Yuanze walked out with a smile, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Dr. Li!"
Li Chentian nodded slightly, looking at Qian Yuan with a very complicated expression.
He truly didn't believe that the poem he wrote that day was by Qian Yuan, but apart from Bai Xinghe, there was no one else in the world who could write it.
He couldn't believe anyone else possessed such talent!
Therefore, I have come to the Qian residence today to verify this in person!
"Elder Li, has my son caused trouble outside and offended the Doctor's residence?"
Qian Guanglu felt a little nervous when he saw that Li Chentian was not speaking and was just staring at Qian Yuan.
Li Chentian has too much influence, and he also has the Imperial Advisor behind him. As a mere Vice Minister of War, he really can't afford to offend him.
"Lord Qian, you are overthinking this," Li Chentian said calmly. "I came to your residence only to ask Young Master Qian to confirm something."
Hearing this, Qian Guanglun felt relieved, but he was also very curious.
Li Chentian personally came to his son's door to ask what he wanted to verify.
"Dr. Li, please feel free to ask me anything. I will answer all your questions to the best of my ability."
Qian Yuan smiled and pretended not to know, but he knew very well what was going on in his heart.
The fact that such an important figure as Li Chentian personally came to visit must be about the poetry.
"Very well!" Li Chentian pondered for a moment, then said, "Young Master Qian's poem from a few days ago was truly astonishing. I would like to ask Young Master Qian to compose another one!"
Composing poetry? And you're astonished by its brilliance?
Qian Guanglu was completely bewildered. Although his son was not illiterate, he was certainly not a genius either.
Could he compose a poem that astonished Li Chentian?
"Dr. Li, are you mistaken? I know my son's character very well."
Li Chentian smiled but didn't offer any further explanation.
He shared the same idea as Qian Guanglu, but he didn't want to say it directly.
After all, that poem was truly stunning!
"Father, you don't know this, do you? I've had talent since I was a child, but you're too busy with court affairs to know."
Qian Yuan smiled and continued, "Dr. Li, please choose a theme, and I'll compose a poem right away!"
Li Chentian did not expect Qian Guanglu to agree so readily. After a moment's thought, he offered a topic that was generally favored by the literati of Yan.
Qian Yuan couldn't stop laughing to himself; all of this was exactly what Bai Xinghe had expected.
Bai Xinghe had already prepared eight poems on common themes for him, and he had memorized them perfectly.
I used one poem yesterday at the Seventh Prince's residence, and there are still seven poems left.
"A moon theme, is that right, Dr. Li? Please allow me a moment to think about it!"
At Bai Xinghe's suggestion, Qian Yuan deliberately pondered for a moment.
Then he cleared his throat and read aloud.
"The bright moonlight shines before my bed, I wonder if it is frost on the ground."
"I raise my head to gaze at the bright moon, then lower it to think of my hometown!"
The entire audience was stunned when Qian Yuan recited the poem in one breath.
Qian Guanglu couldn't believe his ears and stared at Qian Yuan in astonishment.
Li Chentian trembled all over, looking at Qian Yuan with great excitement.
"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!"
"I never imagined that my Great Yan possessed such a genius! I have been unaware of it all along; I am truly ashamed!"
"Lord Qian, if you don't mind, I'm willing to immediately take your son as my last disciple!"
Li Chentian's doubts were completely dispelled, and he was so excited that he couldn't express it. He immediately wanted to accept Qian Yuan as his closed-door disciple.
Qian Guanglu was stunned, for Li Chentian was an idol of the scholars of Yan.
Even His Majesty today, the Prime Minister must respect his opinion.
It's very difficult for members of the Yuan family to even enter the Doctor's Mansion, let alone become its closed-door disciples.
The benefits of having one's own son become Li Chentian's closed-door disciple are countless.
"Thank you for thinking so highly of my son, Dr. Li!"
Fearing that Li Chentian might change his mind, Qian Guanglu hurriedly shouted to Qian Yuan, "Qian Yuan, why aren't you becoming my disciple right now!"
Qian Yuan clasped his hands in a respectful bow, then humbly said, "Greetings, Master Li!"
"Good, good, good!" Li Chentian was overjoyed, thinking that Yan Kingdom had also produced a prodigy like Bai Xinghe.
Bai Xinghe, who was in the side room, saw all of this and a mocking smile played on his lips.
However, he is currently unaware of Li Chentian's attitude towards him, so he dares not show himself easily.
Offending the Yuan family is troublesome enough; if Li Chentian also wants to kill me because of the Zhao Kingdom, then I'm really doomed.
After confirming the details, Li Chentian didn't linger at the Qian residence and left happily.
He threatened to inform Princess Himeko and announce it to the court and the public.
After Li Chentian left, Qian Yuan immediately ran to Xiangfang to find Bai Xinghe!
After discussing it for a while, the two came out together.
Qian Guanglu was in a great mood. He patted Qian Yuan on the shoulder with satisfaction and walked away.
Bai Xinghe then left the Qian residence with Qian Yuan, intending to go to Queyuefang for some wine and women.
Bai Xinghe didn't want to go, because ever since he saw Zhao Sisi's haggard appearance yesterday, he had been thinking about her constantly.
But he didn't want to spoil Qian Yuan's fun, so he had no choice but to accompany him.
When the two arrived at Queyuefang, the madam, Aunt Hong, immediately came over to greet them with a smile.
Qian Yuan waved his hand and said, "Listen up, bring all your best girls over. As long as they serve my brothers well, I, Young Master Qian, will cover the entire bill today!"
The entire audience erupted in cheers, while Bai Xinghe was somewhat speechless.
"Oh, you're going to cover all the expenses? What a boastful tone!" Just then, a richly dressed young man walked in with a group of entourage!
"It's Young Master Wang!"
"What brings you here today, Young Master Wang?"
Many people whispered among themselves, and Bai Xinghe then learned that Wang Bing, the young master, was the son of the richest family in the Great Yan!
The Wang and Yuan families have a very good relationship; they are both prominent families.
"Wang Bing, what's wrong? Do you have a problem with that?"
Wang Bing snorted coldly, glanced at Bai Xinghe, and then said disdainfully, "Qian Yuan, do you think you can do anything with your father's meager salary? Don't try to show off in front of me with those worthless things you have!"
Qian Yuan was very unhappy, but in terms of wealth, who could compare with the richest family?
"Alright, Qian Yuan, get out of here with that dog next to you. I've booked the whole place tonight, you're not welcome."
Wang Bing was arrogant and immediately waved his hand, scattering silver notes everywhere.
Qian Yuan was furious, and Bai Xinghe noticed it too.
This Wang Bing probably didn't come to Queyuefang by chance; he came specifically for me.
Without a doubt, someone is behind this, most likely the Yuan brothers, Benchu and Yao!
"That rich but foolish landlord's son, Brother Qian, we don't need to argue with him!"
"Stop!" Wang Bing sneered, pointing at Bai Xinghe. "Kid, what did you say?"
Bai Xinghe, naturally, didn't hold back either, coldly saying, "I say, the Yuan brothers are upright men, if they want revenge, they can just come at me directly. Why bother with all this beating around the bush and sending a fool like you to cause trouble!"
Seeing that he had been exposed, Wang Bing flew into a rage, shouting, "You're nothing but Qian Yuan's dog! What are you calling me? How dare you insult this young master! Come on, beat him to death!"
"Anyone who dares to move will be killed by this young master!" Qian Yuan immediately shouted.
Wang Bing, however, was not afraid at all: "Qian Yuan, who do you think you are? Your father is the Vice Minister of War. If you dare to obstruct me, I'll beat you up too!"
