"Ride in my beloved little carriage, it will never be stuck in traffic..."
Hou Yao sat in Yao Yingzhe's carriage and sang all the way. He was so happy.
He was really tired from walking these past few days and his feet were blistered.
Now I am finally comfortable. Not only do I have a spacious carriage, but I also have servants to serve me.
On this kind of road, even if it takes a year, you will not be tired.
Yao Yingzhe turned around and looked at Hou Yao on the carriage behind him, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Whether it is character knowledge or other aspects,
From that aspect, this person is a person who has completely subverted his three views.
You can often hear some inexplicable weird words from Hou Yao's mouth, as well as some messy music and obscene words.
The first time I heard it, I couldn't bear it, but the more I listened to it, the more I felt it had some charm.
For example, the kiss he sang yesterday: I kiss you goodbye, in the deserted street...
Listen, how bad does one have to be to sing such words?
Even the prostitutes from slightly higher-end brothels would not sing such obscene words.
I'm afraid only brothels that specialize in the flesh business would have people willing to sing.
Hou Yao is a scholar and a scholar with outstanding talents, but he can sing such obscene words,
And he can still sing loudly like no one else is around. Does this mean he really doesn’t regard himself and others as outsiders?
But we actually don’t know each other at all, okay? Can you be more serious?
The most annoying thing is that he just sings it by himself. I have listened to him singing a lot these days and even learned to hum a few songs.
The conscience of heaven and earth is really not what he wants to learn. In fact, this guy Hou Yao has sung too much and he has learned it without knowing it.
Like that kiss goodbye, I can't stop loving you. I learned it unconsciously.
Yao Yingzhe couldn't help but lament in his heart, this Hou Yao is probably poisonous. Will he be infected if he stays with him for a long time?
At this time, the old servant who was driven out of the carriage spoke:
"Master, we've arrived at the inn ahead, but it's still early today. Do you want to rush to the next inn to rest?"
Yao Yingzhe thought for a while:
"No, if we drive to two inns in a row, Brother Hou may say he is tired again, so let's rest here for the night."
Three carriages entered the inn,
Hou Yao jumped off the carriage and waved to Yao Yingzhe:
"Brother Yao, where is this? You arrived very early today."
Yao Yingzhe smiled and said:
"Go forward and pass a post station, which is Zhaoqing Fucheng. If we walk faster these days, we can reach Guangzhou in three days at most."
Hou Chengyun, who was walking at the end of the team, also got off the car and walked over:
"Brother Zhe, why did you stop after walking for more than two hours? How long will it take to reach Guangzhou after walking like this?"
Although he was speaking to Yao Yingzhe, his eyes were fixed on Hou Yao.
If this good relative hadn't been complaining all day about running too fast and couldn't bear it, they would have entered Guangzhou city long ago.
Hou Yao seemed to have not heard anything and walked straight to the inn:
"Brother Yao, let's have a rest here today, and then go directly to Zhaoqing City to play tomorrow."
These days, he has been deliberately testing the bottom line of these two people, so he made various actions,
Hou Chengyun has been teased several times, and Yao Yingzhe's self-restraint skills are really good.
He was able to endure it all the way without showing any dissatisfaction.
The depth of this person's scheming is indeed not ordinary and terrifying.
Now that we are so close to Guangzhou, I am afraid that nothing will happen if we try again.
It would be better to go to Guangzhou city as soon as possible and try some other means.
After entering the inn, the three gentlemen found a table to order food and eat. The coachman and others sat at a table.
Not long after, the waiter at the inn served food and wine, and the three of them ate to a great extent.
At this time, three more young masters came in from outside the door.
Hou Yao looked up and continued eating. Anyway, he didn't know anyone.
Hou Chengyun's face instantly became unnatural,
Yao Yingzhe seemed indifferent on the surface, but judging from his slightly trembling chopsticks, we could tell that he was far from as calm as he seemed on the surface.
Hou Yao and his two tables were the only guests in the inn. The young men quickly discovered them.
The leader held a folding fan and walked over after seeing Yao Yingzhe's face clearly.
The other three also followed.
"I didn't expect that my cousin is here too. What a coincidence. I thought I would go to Guangzhou to find you."
Yao Yingzhe was stunned for a second, stood up and saluted:
"Cousin Hongbo, what a coincidence."
Ming Hongbo is the son of the Ming family in Leizhou Prefecture. The Ming family belongs to the clan of Ming Xueyi, the minister of the Ministry of Rites of the dynasty.
Yao Yingzhe's mother is from the Ming family, and Ming Hongbo's father is a brother and sister, which means they are cousins.
Ming Hongbo is also a genius. He was once known as the most talented person in Leizhou for a hundred years.
He is currently preparing for the National Examination. In fact, he is only three years older than you, Yingzhe.
"Hongyuan, why don't you greet your cousin?"
Standing behind Ming Hongbo, the white-faced young man Ming Hongyuan reluctantly bowed his hand to Yao Yingzhe:
"Hello, cousin Yingzhe."
Yao Yingzhe cupped his hand in return.
The other two people were both scholars from the big families in Leizhou Prefecture, and they bowed their hands to Yao Yingzhe one by one as a greeting.
As for Hou Yao and Hou Chengyun, they were completely ignored.
After everyone had finished the ceremony, Ming Hongbo took out a red invitation from his arms and handed it to Yao Yingzhe:
"Cousin, sister Wanru and I will get married at the end of the year. You must come and have a drink of this wedding wine."
Yao Yingzhe pretended to be calm and accepted the invitation from Ming Hongbo:
"Congratulations to my cousin. If I can make it in time, I will definitely go to congratulate you."
Ming Hongbo patted Yao Yingzhe on the shoulder meaningfully:
"Cousin, you must come here. Without you, my wedding will definitely lose its luster."
Hou Yao could tell at a glance that Yao Yingzhe felt like he couldn't hold himself any longer.
At this moment, Ming Hongyuan over there suddenly said something strangely:
"Cousin Yingzhe, you also need to find a fair and plump beauty that suits your Nanhai aesthetics as soon as possible.
It’s like my sister-in-law will never grow up to be the kind of voluptuous beauty that you Nanhai people like in her lifetime.”
After saying that, he and another young man laughed together.
Yao Yingzhe rarely blushed, but then he took a deep breath and said:
"I will. Sorry, cousin, cousin, I have to have dinner with my friends, excuse me."
Hou Yao felt happy, there are big melons to eat here,
This Yao Yingzhe probably had an affair with that or something,
As for whether we have reached the point where we understand each other's strengths and weaknesses, it's really hard to say.
But this cousin Hongbo was obviously dissatisfied with his old love rival and wanted to take the opportunity to humiliate him.
Faced with this kind of provocation, any man can't help but get emotional.
Yao Yingzhe can still maintain basic etiquette, which shows that he is very scheming and terrifying.
However, it can be seen from his confused expression and involuntarily trembling hands that
At least he was not without any fluctuations in his heart. Anyone with a discerning eye could see the anger he was trying so hard to suppress at the moment.
Ming Hongyuan glanced at Hou Chengyun and Hou Yao with disdain:
"My cousin still likes to hang out with some random people.
This bullshit thing is the Hou family, right?
When can people from merchant families be compared with us noble families?
Friends? How worthy are they?"
Hou Chengyun suddenly blushed, but he looked like he dared not speak out in anger.
Hou Yao sighed deeply, these second generation scolded the Hou family when they scolded the Hou family, why were they looking at him?
Others are used to you, but we are not used to you:
"This young man said it well, we are really inferior to each other, how can we compare with my dear brother?
Look at my arrogance, you look like bullshit, we can't compare with you, we really can't."
Ming Hongyuan was quite happy to hear the first half, but when he heard the second part, his face suddenly turned the color of pig liver.
"You bitch, how dare you scold me?"
Hou Yao said with an innocent face:
"When did I scold you? It's not that you said we're not as good as shit, and you thought you were comparing yourself to shit.
We are not as good as brothers, so we are worse than shit. How can I scold you?"
Ming Hongyuan was speechless for a moment, and after a long while he said:
"You..., you..., you still call me a thing."
Hou Yao was even more confused and said:
"Aren't you a thing?"
Ming Hongyuan became even more anxious and cursed back:
"You are nothing."
Hou Yao pretended to be innocent and said:
"Then you are a thing."
Ming Hongyuan was angry and anxious. He was already confused. Ming Hongbo had to say:
"This brother has a sharp tongue. If you want to seek death, you might as well say a few more last words."
Hou Yao said "tsk tsk tsk" for a while:
"Are you in a hornet's nest? If the younger ones can't do it, the older ones will go up. If the older ones can't do it, will they have to drag out the older ones?
If I offend your family, it will bring bad luck for eight lifetimes."
Ming Hongbo was so angry that he stretched out his hand and slapped him.
Unexpectedly, Hou Yao was already prepared and ducked away.
Ming Hongbo swung his arm in a circle and slapped Ming Hongyuan on the face.
Ming Hongyuan looked confused:
"Brother, why did you hit me?"
Hou Yao laughed loudly:
"You don't have to teach a bullshit brother a lesson in front of us. Don't worry, we won't argue with a bullshit."
Ming Hongbo's delicate face turned the color of pig's liver. He was so angry that he was about to run away.
Yao Yingzhe knew that if he didn't stop it, things would definitely get into trouble, so he said coldly:
"Cousin, don't bully others too much. Autumn is coming soon, and if something goes wrong, it won't end well for everyone."
Ming Hongbo glanced at Yao Yingzhe bitterly, he was the one who started the provocation today, and it was really going to make a big fuss, and it would be hard for him to explain.
What's more, there are many people in the post station, and the power of the Ming family is not big enough to influence the entire post station in Guangdong Province:
"Boy, who are you? You'd better pray that you can go to high school this autumn, otherwise I will crush you to death like an ant."
Ming Hongbo's words are not a joke. To deal with a scholar is as easy as crushing an ant.
But now that Autumn is approaching, everyone's attention is on the scholars. At this time, it is necessary to touch a scholar, especially a scholar who is rushing to take the exam.
The risk will increase exponentially, and if you fail, you will be involved in it.
How could Ming Hongbo involve himself for a boy of unknown origin?
It is precisely because Hou Yao knew this that he dared to act unscrupulously.
He knew that in this place, these people could not do anything to him:
"It's none of your business who I am, but thanks for your good words, Qiu Wei Jieyuan, who else but me, I'll just wait for the announcement."
