Chapter 63: What did I do to displease you?
Because of an unintentional act, Qulou became a place for communication and prayer for students taking the college entrance examination this year.
After the opening day, Qulou became famous with just one song.
It attracted not only students living in the official post station, but also other students who came to take the exam alone.
Even students from Yingtian Academy came to Qulou to seek fighting spirit.
Cheng Shuyi went with the flow.
I downloaded a lot of inspirational songs and played them on loop.
The original three-day grand opening promotion was postponed to nine days, until the day before the exam.
Therefore, even students from poor families can have the opportunity to communicate with candidates from other schools as long as they enter the door and order a cup of the cheapest tea.
Cheng Shuyi thought that the people in Qulou were all students taking exams.
They are of high quality and focus on exchanging articles without causing trouble.
I just left the store to the manager and went to work early and came back early to go home and spend time with my children.
She was not at home these nights, and the two children were left in the care of Pei Yanli.
The child was left to his father's care, and as expected, he grew up rough.
Even in ancient times, this was no exception.
As soon as Cheng Shuyi came back, he cleaned the house for the two children inside and out.
Not only the people, but also their rooms have been changed and cleaned.
After the two cubs went to the training ground once, they fell in love with horse riding.
Pei Yanli, that straight man, took time off to take his children to the training ground to ride horses in the hot sun without even wearing sunscreen.
The two cute little babies were tanned into coal balls in just two days.
After Cheng Shuyi bathed the two children, he took them back to his room.
Give them whitening remedies.
"Xu Xu, remember to bring an umbrella when you go to the academy tomorrow. I'll put it next to your schoolbag. Don't get tanned again."
Cheng Shuyi put two dots of skin care cream on her daughter's cheeks.
The little girl nodded, ran away with a smile, and spread it evenly herself.
Then it was my brother's turn.
Pei Yanli looked at Cheng Shuyi who was acting so seriously and felt that she was blaming him by doing this.
Blame him for not being able to raise the children well.
He stubbornly defended himself: "What kid doesn't get tanned when he goes to the training ground for horseback riding and archery? You're making a fuss out of nothing!"
People are naturally tanned in the summer, and even princes and nobles are not immune to it.
Unless you don't go out.
Cheng Shuyi also made remedial measures for his brother and sent him away, "Okay, go do your homework."
"I don't blame you. Sunbathing is a natural process, and looking better is also human nature. There's no conflict."
Cheng Shuyi was just about to close the lid of the skin care products when Pei Yanli squeezed over.
Sit down where your son and daughter just sat.
He was awkward, "I got tanned too."
Cheng Shuyi paused as he was covering the lid, understood what he meant, and pushed the things on the table in front of him.
Pei Yanli didn't move, just looked at her silently.
Cheng Shuyi hesitated and said, "You don't want me to wipe it for you, do you?"
"You don't have any hands!"
Pei Yanli was sulking and sulking, "Why is there such a big difference between how you treat the children and how you treat me? What did I do to displease you?"
After saying that, he snorted and went out.
Cheng Shuyi stared at him as he left.
After a while, the sound of a door slamming was heard from the direction of the west wing.
no!
Is this correct?
He is Pei Yanli!
The powerful, domineering and strategic regent!
When did you become so childish?
Cheng Shuyi silently packed up the things on the table, feeling confused.
She slammed the drawer shut.
No, Pei Yanli knew that she was about to die, so why did he still try every way to get close to her and give her hints everywhere?
It made her waver and upset.
In the middle of the night, Cheng Shuyi lay in bed, unable to fall asleep.
She thought it was because of Pei Yanli.
But in fact, it was not just Pei Yanli that made her feel anxious and uneasy.
Curved building.
It was late at night and the bustling Willow Lane gradually quieted down.
Even the prostitute from the brothel entered the room.
When the shop was supposed to be closing, there were still students in Qulou, but they were not talking or exchanging articles, but making trouble.
Several young masters from Yingtian Academy were drunk and were showing off their power and majesty.
"Pei Ye, it's your turn to buy ice today, but you've made us suffer from the heat all day."
Su Lin, the drunken son of Ningyuan Hou, put his arm around someone's shoulder, slapped the person in the face, and spoke mockingly.
"Why, are you in the Regent's Palace so poor that you can't even afford a piece of ice?"
"Hahaha……"
Although Su Lin said this in a joking tone, it was full of coercion.
Pei Ye knew that these young and handsome classmates were blaming him and laughing at him.
There was no ice available at Yingtian Academy and everyone was suffering from the scorching heat.
So they decided that everyone should take turns buying them to get by for a while until the exam was over.
There are a total of twenty people in the Juyezhai where Pei Ye is, all of whom are students who will take the imperial examination this year.
They took turns paying for ice to cool down the dormitory.
Today it was Pei Ye's turn to buy, but Pei Ye had no money, which made the other young masters in Juye Zhai so hot that they were sweating profusely and couldn't even study well.
In addition, I just listened to the articles written by scholars from other places in Qulou.
Make them feel more stressed.
Su Lin blamed all his dissatisfaction on Pei Ye.
It’s because he didn’t buy ice today that they can’t study well!
Pei Ye is the son of Pei Zhuang, the second master of the Pei family, and the cousin of Pei Yanli.
Pei Yanli's uncles and aunts could not live in the capital city permanently, but their children could.
Pei Ye is one of them.
He lived in the Regent's Palace and was dependent on others.
All his food, clothing and expenses were arranged by the mistress of the palace, Zhao, and he was allocated one hundred taels of silver a month.
His sister has thirty taels.
But this one hundred taels of silver is not enough to hang around with a group of young masters.
Drinking, eating, riding horses, playing ball, writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone all cost money.
Juye Zhai is such a big place, and there are no pipes, so they just use ice buckets.
Forty blocks of ice are needed in one day.
Eighty taels of silver.
Pei Ye couldn't take it out.
He also wanted to go and ask Cheng Shuyi for help, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.
He was the second young master of the Regent's Palace, and he couldn't ask a merchant woman for help.
What's more, the merchant woman instigated his cousin to move away and live in another place, which almost caused him to lose his status and honor as the second son of the Regent's Palace.
He can't do it anymore!
Pei Ye was too concerned about his reputation and didn't want to embarrass himself in front of his classmates.
He raised his glass and acted like a rich man, saying, "Look at my memory. I forgot. Please don't blame me."
"Well, to make amends, all the blame for tonight will be on me, and I'll drink three more cups as punishment. How about that?"
Qulou was also opened by Cheng Shuyi.
Even if he doesn't buy it tonight, for the sake of the Regent's Palace, she shouldn't ask him for the debt, right?
Unless she doesn't want to enter the Regent's Palace!
"Three cups?" Su Lin and the others were dissatisfied. "Is this the maximum alcohol tolerance of the Prince Regent's Mansion?"
"Since Second Master Pei wants to make amends, no one is allowed to leave today until we die of drinking!"
Drink to death!
Pei Ye knew Su Lin's character well. What he meant by drinking him to death would make him unable to get up for three days.
But I have to go to the tribute hall in three days!
"Brother Su, since we're going to drink, let's have something big."
Pei Ye came up with a crooked idea, "You and I will each find someone to drink with, and see who finds someone who can drink more. If I win, Brother Su will exempt me from this drink."
"If Brother Su wins, I'll drink as much as you let me drink, and I'll lose another hundred taels of silver to you. How about that?"
Su Lin is a playboy, so betting is a common thing for him.
He agreed immediately.
Seeing that there was a chance, Pei Ye said, "Then for the sake of fairness, why don't we look for someone we know, but the guys in Qulou, how about that?"
Everyone I know knows how much they can drink.
Betting is boring.
So, two guys from Qulou were arrested.
In order to save the face of these young men, even though the waiter could no longer drink, he was still forced to drink.
Pei Ye wanted to win, but he didn't want to let his classmates know that he had no money to buy ice cream.
Just tie the person up and force him to drink, no one can persuade him.
He also ordered his servants to beat up anyone who came up to persuade him until he passed out.
When Cheng Shuyi received the news the next day, someone had already died in Qulou.
