Female-to-male: I live on farming

Chapter 269 Wine Bureau

Except for the unpleasant encounters with Li Kuan and others during the first two days, Cheng Heng spent the rest of his time in the academy like a fish in water.

Although he had no feelings for Lu Youqing, her name was very useful. He used her as a cover to show off in the academy, and soon a group of flatterers gathered around him.

He saw that more and more people were following him, and Li Kuan no longer posed any threat to him, so when he saw him again, he began to mock him.

It was really refreshing to see Li Kuan being angry but not daring to speak.

"Brother Cheng, I'm hosting you at Changlefang today, please come along."

After Cheng Heng pondered for a moment, he asked the servant to go back to the mansion and tell him, then nodded in agreement.

He had been spoiled by Ji Shuran since he was a child, and could not bear the hardship of studying and doing homework. Even though Cheng Li had gone to great lengths to send him to the Royal Academy, he soon began to eat, drink and have fun every day under the instigation of others.

He was the center of attention in the school. He liked and enjoyed this feeling, which greatly satisfied his vanity.

Today, as usual, someone invited him to have a drink, and he naturally would not refuse.

The other party was very well prepared. Not only did they book a private room on the second floor of Changlefang, they also asked Miss Dieyi, who had become quite famous in the place recently, to accompany them.

Listening to the tune and appreciating the dancers' singing and dancing, the girl in butterfly clothes danced gracefully with a pipa in her hands, playing the song "Rainbow Skirt and Feathered Coat" in a lingering and sad manner.

Her face was like a white lotus under the moon, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, her lips were red and her teeth were white, her skin was like cream, and her steps revealed endless charm. The young men in the box could not resist such temptation and stared at her with their eyes wide open.

"Brother Cheng, please." Seeing that he was still staring at the dancer, the person next to him poured him a glass of wine.

Cheng Heng accepted all their toasts and soon the whole pot of wine was empty. He was drunk and his eyes were a little dazed.

"To say that Miss Dieyi plays the pipa is truly exquisite."

"Yes, the sound lingers in the air. The pipa played by Miss Dieyi and the dance performed by Miss Zishan are the two signature performances of Changlefang. Many elegant and refined people come here just to see these two people."

"I made an appointment with the nanny of Changlefang a long time in advance, so that Miss Dieyi could have time to come to us today. If you want to see Miss Zishan, there will be no chance even if you wait longer." said Lu Xin, who organized the gathering.

Although his family background is ordinary, he is very wealthy and spends money like water.

"I heard that this purple-shirted girl's dance was famous in the capital, and Xie Qingfeng, the son of the Xie family, fell in love with her at first sight, and then he directly kept her as his own. Therefore, this purple-shirted girl will not easily see guests now."

"Xie Qingfeng? It is said that Princess Cheng'an only has this one child, so she is very closely watching him. How many people in the capital dare to offend Mr. Xie?"

The Xie family was originally a prominent family, and many of their members served as officials in the court. Although Xie Qingfeng's father was only an imperial censor, the Grand Princess Cheng'an was the youngest sister of the late emperor and the aunt of the current emperor.

Everyone in the capital knew that the eldest princess had spent many years to have such a son, and she loved him like her own heart, so no one wanted to offend him.

If we accidentally offend her, the eldest princess will get angry and run to His Majesty to complain. Who can bear that?

It is said that when the current Majesty was young and unsuccessful, the unmarried Princess Cheng'an helped him. His Majesty is a person who cherishes the old times.

After hearing this, the desire of the people present to meet the purple-shirted girl faded a lot. Although they all had some background, if they caused trouble outside, they would inevitably be punished by a stick when they returned home.

Moreover, since they are in the circle, they naturally know who they can offend and who they cannot offend.

However, the young man who organized the party poured another glass of wine for Cheng Heng and whispered in a flattering voice: "No matter how prominent the Xie family is, it is not as good as you, Brother Cheng. Not to mention that Brother Cheng's father is a fourth-rank official, and his sister is married into the Yong'an Marquis's mansion. Brother Cheng's eldest sister is the famous Prime Minister Lu. Just based on this, who dares to be above Brother Cheng."

If you listen carefully, you will find many contradictions in this statement.

There is only an empty title left in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion now. His sister Cheng Ruoyao did not marry the legitimate son who inherited the title. The second young master Qi became a disabled person after breaking his leg and has not been seen for a long time.

Also, since Lu Xiang is his elder sister, why does one have the surname Lu and the other Cheng?

Unfortunately, Cheng Li was drunk now and had no idea what was going on. He just felt very proud when he heard his compliment and felt that his status was much higher than that of the people present.

The people around him got a hint from Lu Xin's eyes and quickly followed suit, saying, "Yes, the eldest princess only helped Your Majesty a few times in the early years. How can she compare to Prime Minister Lu's service to His Majesty?"

"That's right. Mr. Xie is not as good as Brother Cheng. Why does Brother Cheng have to look at Mr. Xie's face when he wants to see Miss Purple?"

"..."

Several people put Cheng Heng on such a high pedestal that Cheng Li felt flattered. A man's face and vanity are so easy to control, as long as he is praised and flattered, he will immediately feel that he is powerful.

Cheng Heng immediately stood up, drank the wine in the cup, and shouted loudly: "Go call the nanny from Changlefang!"

The servant at the door received the order and immediately went to call the nanny.

The maids in Changlefang were no longer surprised by such scenes. After all, half of the people hit by a falling brick in the capital would be officials.

It just depends on who has a more prominent family background and who has a stronger background.

"We want to see Miss Purple Shirt! Go and call her to us!" Cheng Heng raised his chin and ordered.

"Oh," the nanny waved her handkerchief and said with an apologetic smile, "What a coincidence, Zishan is not feeling well today and cannot see guests. If you gentlemen want to watch the dance, can I invite other girls to come?"

"Why did I hear that purple-shirted girl was getting ready to meet guests when I went out just now? Are you deceiving us, or do you look down on Brother Cheng?"

Cheng Heng was a little discouraged at first, but when this person said this, Cheng Heng immediately flew into a rage, slammed the table and shouted, "What! You dare to look down on me?"

"I just saw that Mr. Xie is here too..." Lu Xin whispered in Cheng Heng's ear.

Cheng Heng first frowned and glanced at Lu Xin, then angrily said: "Who does that Xie guy think he is? Isn't he just relying on his mother being a princess? What's so great about him..."

When the nanny saw his red face and thick neck, she immediately knew that he had drunk too much and was confused and angry, so she hurriedly wanted to stop him. After all, she knew that Master Xie happened to be sitting next to her.

Cheng Heng did not control the volume when he spoke, so the people next door could definitely hear him clearly.

She is doing business, so it is better to have less trouble than more, so it is better not to make a big deal out of it.

As a result, just as she opened her mouth, the door of the box was kicked open by someone from outside.
