Chapter 571

It is night, and the city that never sleeps in Kyoto is brilliantly lit. The lively streets are covered with all kinds of lanterns. The restaurant and the green house are the most lively places in the city that never sleeps.

It is also the most frequent place for officials of all levels in the DPRK to go. As long as it is night, as long as it is the most famous restaurant, green house, and building in the city, you can definitely find a high-ranking official at all levels in the daytime.

In the Zuixian Building, the most famous building in the capital, the entire third-floor private room was packed. It was really lively at this time. Those who could take a seat tonight were all rank three or above.

Cang Shuhang was obviously the one with the lowest status here. He and Zheng Guanbei, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, were originally distant relatives. He was leaving the capital tomorrow, so he went to Zheng Mansion to say goodbye. Although he was not sure that Zheng Guanbei remembered his distant relative, but this relationship, you have to use it when you need it.

But who would have known that Zheng Guanbei was holding a banquet in this Zuixianlou today, and he followed him in a confused way. Seeing so many senior officials, none of them looked at him directly. . .

Thinking of the fright he had suffered because of the broken jade pendant these few days, the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved and annoyed he became, so he started drinking boring wine alone, pouring it into his stomach one cup at a time.

I don't know when, there was also a drunk man sitting next to him. The two didn't know each other, but they drank together.

"Master Hou, you are drunk, go back." Sifu walked over to Pei Qinghan and said.

Pei Qinghan waved his hand: "What's the matter, I haven't had enough." He was already seven points drunk, he knew it was time to put down his cups, but he was reluctant to pour wine into his belly cup by cup.

Ever since the woman left the Hou residence, he has become increasingly annoyed and reluctant to go back.

He didn't know why he was doing this. That woman would die soon after leaving. Isn't that what he wanted? What is he bothering about?

He raised his glass and touched the man beside him, and asked, "Brother, you look like you have something to worry about, can you tell me?"

Cang Shuhang asked with a smile, "Also? So you are also worried? What did he call you just now? Lord Hou? Which mansion are you Lord Hou?"

Sifu on the side hurriedly said, "My lord, my master is Marquis Changyuan."

Pei Qinghan said: "My surname is Pei, and the word is Qinghan. I don't know this brother's surname? Why haven't I seen you before?"

Cang Shuhang is not a Beijing official, and Pei Qinghan has no important position in the court. It is normal that he has never seen it before.

When Cang Shuhang heard the three words Pei Qinghan, he immediately woke up with eight points of drunkenness. It turned out that he was Pei Qinghan, as the emperor and Dongfang Mu said, and the Marquis of Changyuan Houfu.

Seeing the sudden change in his face, Pei Qinghan asked with a smile, "What? Does my name scare you?"

"No, no, I'm just surprised. It turned out that the person who had been drinking with me for a long time was actually a marquis." His back was soaked, and he tried to recall what he just said, but he couldn't remember. Mention something that shouldn't be mentioned?

Pei Qinghan asked with a smile, "You just said that you went to the palace to meet the emperor today? Did the emperor mention me?"

Cang Shuhang was so frightened that he almost fell under the table. He immediately glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he lowered his voice: "Master Hou, let's talk in another place, it's not very convenient here."

Pei Qinghan also felt that this place was very boring. If he didn't want to go back, if he just wanted someone to drink with him, he wouldn't stay here.
