My Wife is A Sword God

“Brother-in-law, what is that?” asked Black Charcoal Head.

Qin Feng organized his words, ” That is something that can explode in the sky, releasing various dazzling fireworks. Imagine, during the celebration of the New Year Ceremony, the magnificent fireworks filling the night sky, what a magnificent scene it would be. The Emperor will surely appreciate the grandeur of it.”

After a brief description, others could roughly imagine the scene, but they were still a little confused.

After all, they had never seen such a scene with their own eyes.

Ya’an furrowed her delicate eyebrows, “Such a thing exists in the world, why have I never heard of it before?”

Qin Feng immediately showed a proud expression, “It’s normal that you haven’t heard of it, because this thing hasn’t been introduced yet.

“Ugh,” Black Charcoal Head and Wang Xu both had stiff expressions when they heard this.

Ya’an’s face turned serious; she felt like she was being played.

Seeing this, Qin Feng hurriedly explained, “Although it hasn’t been introduced yet, it won’t be long before fireworks can be produced. You have to believe me.”

“When the time comes, I will give you the fireworks and you can present them to the emperor. I guarantee that your status in the Gathering Treasure Pavilion will rise.” Qin Feng lifted his wine cup with a smile.

Wang Xu on the side heard this and showed a slightly strange expression. 

He also raised his wine cup, “Master Qin, let me thank you in advance for my young master. Here, a toast to you!”

“No problem, no problem.”

They clinked their glasses, finished their drinks, and Qin Feng turned his head and asked, “I helped you with such a big favor, how do you plan to thank me?”

Ya’an sneered, “This thing hasn’t even been made yet, and you’re already thinking about rewards. You really dare to think.”

“Of course, since I dare to say that, I have enough confidence.”

The gunpowder had already been developed, and making fireworks and firecrackers was as easy as it could be for Qin Feng.

“So, what kind of reward do you want?” Ya’an asked.

Qin Feng thought for a moment, “Let me think about it. Since there is still some time before the new year, we can talk about it later.”

Most of the dishes on the table had been eaten, and they had consumed quite a bit of alcohol. It was almost time to pay the bill.

After roughly estimating the cost, Qin Feng felt a little regretful, but not too desperate. He sighed softly in his heart and decided to call the girl who had served their food earlier.

At that very moment, three well-dressed young gentlemen walked up the stairs.

The two on the left and right were clearly following the one in the middle. In their conversations and actions, they were all focused on the reaction of the young man in the middle.

The three gentlemen walked past Qin Feng’s table, chatting and laughing.

The young man in the middle, who was wearing a blue robe, gave a sidelong glance without leaving a trace.

The one in purple on the left said, “Brother Tang, you are studying under Master Mo at the Grand Literature Academy, you have mastered the Four Books and Five Classics, and you have mastered military strategy. In the future, you will surely shine in the court.”

The one in white on the right immediately added, “Not only will you shine, but with Brother Tang’s ability, you might even leave a vivid mark in the history books, and be talked about by future generations.”

The flattery was quite loud, and they seemed to not care about the feelings of the others in the hall.

This surprised Qin Feng. After all, the people on the fourth floor were not ordinary, and these three didn’t seem to be afraid of offending anyone.

To his surprise, the guests at the other tables just glanced at them and then looked away as if they hadn’t heard anything.

The identities of these three young masters are not simple!

After the three of them entered a private room, Qin Feng curiously asked, “Do you know who these three are?”

Black Charcoal Head glanced over and shook his head. Since he had spent most of his time in the Divine Marquis Army, he didn’t know these young gentlemen.

Wang Xu put down his wine cup, raised an eyebrow, and replied, “So it’s them.”

“Does Brother Wang know?”

Wang Xu nodded and whispered, “Gathering Treasure Pavilion often gives gifts, so of course I know a lot of officials.” 

“The young man in purple is Zhou Yanli, the son of the Minister of Finance. The young man in white is Shen Hui, the son of the Minister of Justice. These two are notorious playboys in the Imperial City. They rely on their fathers’ status to act recklessly, and the people have long held a grudge against them.”

“However, I don’t have much of an impression of the one in the middle. Apart from the Minister of War surnamed Tang, are there any other high-ranking officials with the surname Tang in the Great Qian Dynasty?”

At the mention of the Tang family, Qin Feng’s expression changed slightly. During the wedding, Tang Xuan, the son of the Minister of War, came and made a scene, leaving a deep impression on him.

At that moment, Ya’an said, “That person is Tang Fei, the son of the Minister of War.”

When Xing Sheng heard this, he looked surprised, “How is that possible? Tang Hongyun only has one son, Tang Xuan, and he’s already dead.”

The Liu family and the  Minister of War’s family had been in opposing factions for a long time, so he was quite familiar with them.

Ya’an shook his head, “It’s normal that you don’t know. Tang Fei is an illegitimate child who has been oppressed by the main branch of the Tang family since childhood. Due to his exceptional talent, he was noticed by Master Mo of the Grand Literature Academy, taken in as a disciple, and settled in the academy for years with little public knowledge.”

“After Tang Xuan’s unexpected death in the south, he returned to the Tang family and his status changed tremendously.”

“I see.” The others nodded.

“Don’t be fooled by his refined appearance; he is not merciful when he acts. Grand Literature Academy has always looked down on those from humble backgrounds, and the privileged children oppress the less fortunate.” 

“However, those who have offended him either mysteriously get expelled from the Grand Literature Academy or their family’s status in the court suddenly plummets.”

“Moreover, after Tang Xuan’s death, within two months of his return to the Tang family, the main branch already treated him with utmost respect, not daring to have any rebellious thoughts.”

Qin Feng raised an eyebrow. Who would have thought that the charming and gentle young man had done so much behind the scenes? This was undoubtedly a smiling tiger, much more difficult to deal with than Tang Xuan.

Suddenly, he recalled the peculiar message from the storyteller in the tavern and murmured to himself, “A petty person is hateful, and a gentleman is hard to guard against.”

“Huh? Young master, what did you say?”

“Nothing. By the way, how could you know about such secret matters?” Qin Feng turned to Ya’an.

She hesitated for a moment, then calmly replied, “Didn’t I tell you? I also studied at the Grand Literature Academy, and what I just mentioned was what my master told me.”

“You actually studied at the Grand Literature Academy? Who is your master?” Qin Feng  asked curiously.

“That’s not something you need to know. Quickly pay, the night is getting late, and I should be heading back,” said Ya’an seriously.

“Why are you in such a hurry? The beautiful nightlife has just begun. Moreover, there’s no curfew in the inner and outer cities of the imperial capital,” Qin Feng casually remarked.

In Imperial City, there was no concept of curfew except within the imperial palace.

The guy in front of him couldn’t possibly be a relative of the emperor.

Because when he suspected this person’s identity, he had used the Three Thousand Qi Observation and found only ordinary yellow aura.

Ya’an’s expression turned somewhat unnatural, “A true gentleman should choose his words carefully. Talking about nightlife is as vulgar as a warrior.”

On the side, Xing Sheng and Wang Xu, upon hearing this, had rather interesting expressions for a moment.
