Disguised as a man: Watch me create a new dynasty

Chapter 147 There’s something going on in the Pei family!

When the governor received the look from his mother, he thought that she wanted him to say some words of gratitude to comfort the young champion.

So he hurriedly said: "Mr. Yan has such talent at such a young age, it is really a blessing for Daqing!"

The governor's surname is Pei, and his family is from the Pei family in the capital. My father is the Left Censor-in-Chief, a second-rank official.

Lord Pei followed his father's example and was serious and upright throughout his life. This was the first time he said such flattering words.

Although there is nothing wrong with what he said and it is true, people who know Lord Pei have never heard him praise anyone.

So the servants lowered their heads even lower in shock.

Mrs. Pei couldn't help rolling her eyes when she saw that her son had misunderstood.

After sitting in his seat and resting for a while, he took Yan Nansheng's hand and said, "Do you still remember that I saved an old man in front of my shop a year ago?"

One year ago? Old man?

Seeing that Yan Nansheng's puzzled expression did not seem fake, Lord Pei sighed silently in his heart. Fortunately, this child was not one of those who curry favor with the powerful.

"You may not remember the good deeds you have done, but I, an old woman, remember them clearly."

"Back then, I was tricked by thieves into going to Jiuyou Mansion, where I got separated from the people who followed me."

"The thieves took away all the valuables I had. I am penniless and have not eaten for two days."

"When I walked to the door of your shop, the owner of the bun shop next door felt sorry for me and gave me a bun."

"I was so hungry that I just wanted to eat it quickly, but I ate it too quickly and couldn't swallow it down, nor could I spit it out."

Now when Mrs. Pei recalled the feeling at that time, she felt suffocated, and her grip on Yan Nansheng's hand tightened unconsciously.

Although it was very painful, Yan Nansheng did not make any noise.

"That feeling, I, I don't even dare to think about it now, it's the feeling of being close to death..."

Mrs. Pei's eyes welled up with tears as she spoke. "If it weren't for you, if it weren't for your kindness in saving me and letting me cough out the lump in my throat, I would have..."

"Mother!" Lord Pei's usually stern face wrinkled at this moment. His eyes showed regret and relief.

"Mother, you, you never told me these details..." Lord Pei clenched his hands tightly, and the blue veins on the back of his hands placed on his legs were clearly visible.

"Tell you? Why don't you go look for her yourself? You spend all day doing official business! You didn't even know your mother was gone!"

"You are such a loyal minister!" Madam Pei became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and the situation was about to get out of control.

Yan Nansheng quickly said, "Since the old lady has returned safely, it means that she is a person who has cultivated to the Tao and is blessed by heaven. She just needs to pay attention to her health."

"I know a little bit about medicine. I just felt the old lady's pulse. Her pulse was like a taut string, beating rapidly and forcefully, without any sign of relaxation."

"Each beat is like a burning fire, with no regularity at all. It is the anger in my heart rushing through my meridians, giving me a feeling of impatience, anxiety and restlessness."

"Old lady, if this continues, it will affect your lifespan."

I just heard the argument between the old lady and Lord Pei, it seemed as if there was some shackles between mother and son. As an outsider, it was not convenient for me to comment, so I could only persuade the two from the perspective of physical health.

Upon hearing this, the old lady and Lord Pei immediately shut up and stopped talking.

Lord Pei looked at Yan Nansheng anxiously, "Can Yan Jieyuan cure it?"

"My mother doesn't like seeing doctors. Since Yan Jieyuan can see it, he must be able to cure it, right?"

Yan Nansheng was just about to say that he had a prescription for conditioning when he heard Old Madam Pei speak angrily.

"You really have a brain for nothing! Yan Jieyuan is just a scholar, why do you have to make things difficult for him!"

"If you are sick, go to the doctor. Why are you looking for someone else's child? Besides, I live young, which is just what you want. No one will stop you..."

"Hmph!" Perhaps Mrs. Pei just remembered that there were outsiders around, so she didn't continue.

Yan Nansheng promised to introduce a good doctor to the old lady.

The banquet was about to begin, and Lord Pei took Yan Nansheng to the courtyard where the banquet was to be held.

Mrs. Pei looked at their departing backs and sighed deeply.

"Madam, you better calm down. For so many years, the master has not seen the true face of that vicious woman. If something happens to you again, what will happen to the two young ladies at home?"

"Yes, I have to live. If I die, wouldn't that be satisfying the evil woman's wishes?"

"Although my benefactor is young, he is very capable. He is a good man worthy of trust. How about..."

The master and servant looked at each other and saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.

The Luming Banquet is about to begin.

Just as everyone was eagerly waiting, the governor appeared with Yan Nansheng.

This appearance made the already somewhat nervous students even more doubtful.

Their eyes all turned to the Governor and Yan Nansheng, secretly guessing the two's intentions in coming together.

However, due to the presence of the governor, the students, although full of questions, did not dare to say anything.

They just exchanged glances, trying to find the answer from each other's expressions.

At this time, Lord Pei walked up to the stage, cleared his throat, and began to speak.

His voice was steady and powerful: "Dear students, today's Luming Banquet is to congratulate you on your academic success.

You are all the future pillars of our dynasty. The fact that you have stood out in the provincial examinations is a testament to your talent and diligence.

But one must not be complacent with one's current achievements, as the road ahead in the imperial examinations will be even more difficult.

You must continue to study hard, gain broad knowledge and strengthen your memory, and use your real talents and knowledge to achieve good results in the examination, bring honor to your family, and serve the court!"

Mr. Pei's words were like a torrent of encouragement, stirring the hearts of every student and making them more determined to forge ahead.

Passing the imperial examination means becoming a candidate for court officials, which is equivalent to stepping into the officialdom.

As Lord Pei finished his speech, the Luming Banquet officially began.

The musicians played the song "Deer Singing", and the melodious melody flowed like gurgling water in every corner of the banquet.

The singers sang the song "Deer Singing" in a melodious voice, full of blessings and expectations for the students.

Amid the beautiful music, students came on stage to perform.

Some students are extremely talented and can compose poems eloquently. Their poems are as bright as stars and are truly amazing.

Some of them splashed ink with their pens, and each piece of calligraphy showed their profound skills.

One of the students, dressed in a blue shirt and with a handsome face, pondered for a moment and then recited aloud.

"The spring breeze is blowing, and the horses are galloping. I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day. I hope we can ride the wind and break the waves, and show our talents in the examination hall."

His poems were full of passion and drew thunderous applause from the crowd.

Another student picked up his pen and wrote: "There is a path to the mountain of books through diligence, and the boat to the boundless sea of ​​learning requires hard work. Today we sing together at the Deer Singing Banquet, and tomorrow we will be on the list of successful candidates to bring honor to our ancestors." The handwriting is strong and powerful, with profound meaning.
