Chapter 282.3: Water Flooded the Dragon King Temple?

Others perhaps didnt recognize them, but w.a.n.g Zhen Xing hurriedly came over to greet, Greetings to w.a.n.gye, w.a.n.gfei.

Youre excused. Jing Wan lifted her hand.

Saying bad words about someone, yet getting caught red-handed by that certain someone, this atmosphere naturally was somewhat awkward. However, the uneasiness on that persons face quickly flashed by. Perhaps for the sake of manifesting his righteousness and self-confidence, he even stuck out his chest, to the extent that he forgot that he was suppose to come over and pay his respect.

The others, after looking to one another in dismay, quickly went forward to pay their respect. They were aloof with character, but this didnt mean that they were capable of looking down on imperial power. After all, for people like them, the majoritys goal was still learning literary and military arts, selling to the imperial family. No one would foolishly go offend a qinw.a.n.g.

Thus, the situation was somewhat strangely silent.

Rather, it was Li Hong Yuan that paused on his face momentarily, Member of the Pei family? Heh

One soft laughter, yet the ridicule couldnt be more obvious.

The other partys complexion instantly turned very unsightly, perhaps not only because of Li Hong Yuans sneer, but further because of certain findings.

And Jing Wan also discovered some clues after Li Hong Yuan voiced the other partys ident.i.ty. The other party seemingly had that bit of resemblance in appearance with her own husband. If someone from the Pei family, then this seemingly wasnt all that strange anymore. The living Enma was able to make out that persons ident.i.ty from that face of his, and that persons expression seemingly also indicated that he had figured out Li Hong Yuans ident.i.ty. As such, it was possible that he was even someone from the Pei clans current main family and was possibly di-related cousins with Li Hong Yuan.

The people of the Pei family are n.o.ble and virtuous

[1]

, not entering the imperial court, but have quite a few renowned names, famous great scholars cultivating peach and plum trees all over the world

[2]

. And the descendants of the clan even leave home to seek knowledge, widely making friends, such thoughts known by all, rather n.o.ble and virtuous to the end, letting all see. This princes temper has always been bad, and at times, will always do those few inappropriate things.

Jing Wan could tell, his mood right now was indeed a bit awful, seemingly harboring resentment towards the Pei family, yet also seemingly nothing at all.

The other partys complexion alternated between green and white. In reality, this was considered something known to all. The Pei family held up the banner of self-preservation, but in reality, what exactly was going on, the people of the world, not one wasnt guessing. One publicly accepted secret was that the Pei family will sooner or later withdraw from worldly affairs, returning to the imperial court, and what they needed right now was probably just a suitable opportunity.

The Pei clan, as Jiangnans number one ill.u.s.trious clan, never waned all these years. It was obvious that they definitely werent willing to forever stay silent.

Pei Zhuo Qing knew, his family had the child left behind by that paternal aunt that entered the imperial family viewed as one of the opportunities. Thats right, one of. It was very obvious, his family still had other plans, just he didnt know, thats all. Towards the imperial prince left behind by paternal aunt, the people at home have always been paying very close attention, just because of certain reasons, they never got in touch with him all this time. Towards this matter, he was actually quite uninterested in. Thats why, he never questioned before, else he wouldnt have been completely unaware and ignorant even when the person was already under his eyelid.

It was still okay when not paying attention, but under careful observation, he discovered, he was very similar in appearance to grandmother, especially those eyes. Reportedly, that paternal aunt also resembled grandmother the most, and the other party was also an imperial prince. To want to deny he was that paternal aunts son was all impossible.

Him coming to Jiangnan, the people at home definitely must know, yet previously all didnt inform him in the slightest, else things wouldnt have been this awkward either.

Speaking of which, the one that had the poor scholar sent into Kaiming Academy was probably even his cousin-in-law, what did this count as?

Just when Jing Wan wanted to urge a few words, and break the deadlock, another youngster appeared wearing scholar garments, also appearing refined and elegant. Going forward, he just cupped his hands towards Li Hong Yuan and Jing Wan, Greetings w.a.n.gye, w.a.n.gfei, this ones teacher, Old Mister Luo, invites the two of you for a chat.

(T/N: This is a traditional scholar attire, hat included.)

Jing Wans eyes slightly lit, Great uncle is also here in Kaiming Fu? This great uncle although wandered around outside all year round, his whereabouts indefinite, it didnt mean that he has never returned before. Jing Wan once even met him a few times before. Just based on appearance, great uncle and grandfather were actually very similar looking. If not for there being a nearly five years gap in age, to say they were twins, people would believe. To actually be able to encounter in Kaiming Fu truly was outside of ones expectations.

Yes, teacher had reached Kaiming Fu the day before yesterday. Heard someone used his name card to send someone into Kaiming Academy, so just carefully inquired, learning that it was w.a.n.gfei, you. Teacher said that he has not seen family in a long time, and very much misses. Just, w.a.n.gfeis status currently is very n.o.ble, so originally was preparing to wait another day, properly tidying up before sending the invitation card, but just now, heard that w.a.n.gfei was seen here, thus ordered this student to come invite.

I also havent seen great uncle in a long time. To be able to encounter at this time, its very good. Jing Wan happily expressed, w.a.n.gye.

Since its w.a.n.gfeis great uncle, naturally ought to meet. Lets go. Li Hong Yuan said with a nod.

The main party has left, but this awkward situation didnt get broken. About that, w.a.n.gfei precisely came from the Luo family, everyone all knew, and Old Mister Luo had no wife, no children. The one he was closest to was just this one older brother. And this older brother was the previous Head Minister of Rites, and the current Head Minister of Appointments. It goes without saying that someone thats able to become a w.a.n.gfei certainly will be his direct descendant. In a certain sense, wasnt it just equal to being Old Mister Luos direct descendant. The esteemed w.a.n.gfei using her grandfathers name card to send a person into the academy seemingly was completely no problem. For them to shun w.a.n.g Zhen Xin, it was practically without reason.

Moreover, judging from w.a.n.g Zhen Xings situation that day, Jin w.a.n.gfei clearly was one that harbored righteousness.

Because that Sir Luo getting promoted onto the position of Head Minister of Appointments, Old Mister Luo, this great scholar, further rose with the tides. It was still that line, nine out of ten scholars aspired to enter the imperial court. First having a great scholar as a teacher, then having this teachers older brother overseeing the Ministry of Appointments, the conditions were practically too good. Countless students further rushed towards this Old Mister Luo like ducks, but unfortunately, this old teacher already stopped taking students two years ago. At most it was nothing more than lecturing at certain academies. But his whereabouts were truly fleeting, hearing he was here today, but tomorrow he might just be at another place. The renowned academies had his tracks, but home schools and private schools might also have his tracks. However, this kind of person having that bit of eccentricity really couldnt be more normal.

They carefully peeked at Pei Zhuo Qings extremely awful complexion, better pretend that one didnt see anything at all.

As for Pei Zhuo Qing whod accidentally lost his face, he unconsciously clenched his fist, turning around, and deathly glared at a certain little follower behind him. A few days ago, hed taken a trip back home, and furthermore, had just returned to Kaiming Academy this morning, getting wind blown into the ear. Towards people that broke the rules, he has always very much despised, thus there was that moment earlier. Yet turns out, hed gotten used by someone, letting others laugh at him like this. At this time, his complexion was a bit green, directly storming off in a huff.

As for how to handle this matter, he still needed to properly contemplate. If the people at home truly had the opportunity pressed on him, and his relations.h.i.+p with him becomes stiff

Also, he seemingly had a lot of complaint towards the Pei family. This wasnt anything good. Perhaps he still needed to return home again.

[1] Theres a double meaning of someone whos aloof from politics and material pursuit.

[2] The peach and plum trees are referring to students and disciples.

T/N: I dont remember if Ive mentioned before, but Ill mentioned it again just in case, the address of sir() or daren is only used for officials of the imperial court. Just like madam() or furen is only for wives of n.o.bility or court officials. This great uncles address is old mister/teacher ; the address (xian sheng) is only used for teachers, scholars, and doctors.
