A sharing of their respective experiences completely broke Qin Fang's psychological defense.
After crying for a while, Qin Fang was no longer sleepy. He took Bai Song and Yu Ji to drink one after another. He was no longer afraid of the girls around him. He spoke of a good sister, calling her affectionate and aggrieved.
It seems that the first time I met a woman's fragrance, I was already intoxicated and dreaming.
Although the gathering of three people was deliberately arranged by Bai Song, it was more or less sincere.
The friendship of classmates, even if we don't keep in touch much, when we see each other again, after a glass of wine, we have regained the familiarity of living together and eating together.
Yu Ji and Qin Fang had the same experience.
But Qin Fang's status in the family is not as good as Yu Ji's status in the Yu family.
Comparing the two, Qin Fang was even worse than Yu Ji.
Later, the two talked more and had more resonances.
Seeing that Qin Fang was about to fall asleep again.
Bai Song said appropriately: "After all this, Qin Fang is much more miserable than you Yu Ji."
Yu Ji nodded repeatedly: "Yes! I thought the world was unfair to me, but I didn't expect that the people who really suffered were... Qin Fang, we have to move around more in the future. We must come to Tianxiang Pavilion often."
"Come often! Come always!" Qin Fang nodded as if he was pounding garlic, and fell on the girl's chest.
In a blur, Qin Fang vaguely heard Bai Song talking.
"The propaganda office seeks talents and visits ministers, but Jia Sheng's talents are even more unmatched.
It's a pity that I sit down at the front table in the middle of the night and don't ask about the common people or the ghosts and gods."
…
That night, Qin Fang was drunk in Tianxiang Pavilion.
It was only after the third watch that the Qin Mansion learned about it and sent someone to take Qin Fang back to his home.
When the head of the Qin family heard about this, he was furious and took a stick in the middle of the night to enforce the family law.
Unfortunately, Qin Fang was so drunk that he couldn't wake up even if he was beaten to death.
The entire Qin family became lively, and countless servants were talking behind their backs that night.
Everyone is saying that the third young master does not recite a poem when he is asleep.
Overnight, the poem spread throughout the Qin Mansion.
Mr. Qin got up early in the morning and was furious when he heard what happened last night. He was about to go see the unlucky third son when he heard his servants talking about him.
"What are you talking about?"
"Old Master, we...we..." The servants hesitated and did not dare to say anything.
At this time, Qin Lanzhi ran over: "Grandpa, don't make it difficult for them. The entire Qin family is talking about a poem now."
"What poem?"
"The poem that Third Brother never forgets in his dreams."
"The poem that the third child always reads in his dreams?"
"Yeah, I heard it didn't stop all night."
"Read it and listen?"
"The propaganda office seeks talents and visits ministers, but Jia Sheng's talents are even more unmatched.
It's a pity that I sit down at the front table in the middle of the night and don't ask about the common people or the ghosts and gods."
What this poem discusses is that Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty sought talents and announced the summons for his demoted ministers. Jia Yi's talent was indeed brilliant and unmatched. He just talked empty talk in the middle of the night, which made people sigh. Emperor Wen asked all about ghosts and gods, and did not mention the state affairs and people's livelihood.
The meaning of the poem is about Emperor Hanwen's belief in ghosts and gods, but what it reflects when it comes out of Qin Fang's mouth is very obvious.
He compares himself to Jia Yi and hates to serve the country but has no way to do it!
After listening, Mr. Qin frowned: "Who wrote this poem?"
"I don't know." Qin Lanzhi said, "But I heard that the third brother was thinking about it all night long. Maybe... maybe it was the third brother's doing? Otherwise, where would the obsession come from?"
…
Qin Fang woke up with a splitting headache.
Suddenly remembering the absurdity of last night, I shuddered and tried to get up, but my father pinned me down on the bed.
Only then did Qin Fang realize that he was back home. Looking at the familiar environment, standing beside the bed were his parents, sister and... grandpa?
Qin Fang screamed inwardly, knowing that he had caused a big disaster, and said tremblingly: "Father, I don't dare anymore, I will never dare again in the future!"
Qin Fang knew that his behavior had brought shame to the family, and now he would definitely be beaten severely. He would even be grounded for a month, copied a hundred times, etc...
However, when Qin Fang gradually settled down, he saw that the expressions of the family members around him seemed different from what he expected.
"Third brother, you are such a fool. No matter how unhappy you are, don't go to Hualou! Is that a place for serious people to go?" Qin Lanzhi stood aside and complained softly, but there was no hint of blame in his words.
"I..." Qin Fang opened his mouth.
The mother from behind brought a bowl of lotus seed soup: "Sanlang, drink some porridge to warm your stomach."
Qin Fang looked at the family blankly, feeling incredible.
What's going on?
I made such a big mistake, but my family didn't even blame me at all.
Mother sat beside the bed and fed Qin Fang with her own hands.
Qin Fang wanted to take it by himself, but his mother refused to let him go: "You smell like drunk, so it's better for your mother to feed you."
Qin Fang was so moved that he burst into tears.
Qin Fang ate his porridge with tears in his eyes. No one in the room made a sound.
I could only hear my mother lamenting.
After eating the porridge, the mother took the little sister and left.
Father and grandfather walked up to Qin Fang.
Mr. Qin asked: "Did you write that poem?"
"Which one?"
Qin's father read: "The promulgation office seeks talents and visits ministers, but Jia Sheng's talents are even more unethical.
It's a pity that I sit down at the front table in the middle of the night and don't ask about the common people or the ghosts and gods."
Qin Fang frowned and tried hard to remember: "My child... My child can't remember clearly... I just feel that this poem is so familiar..."
Mr. Qin waved his hand: "That's all, it doesn't matter who did it. I didn't expect Sanlang of the Qin family to have such an ambition. I am deeply relieved. You can rest well and we won't disturb you."
Qin's father looked at Qin Fang and patted him on the shoulder: "You, just don't talk nonsense! Compared with Jia Yi, your vision is quite high. You must study hard in the future."
Qin Fang was still a little confused and nodded subconsciously: "Yes, Dad."
…
Mr. Qin did not go far. When his son came out, he called him to the ancestral temple.
Looking at the centuries-old ancestral tablets of the Qin family, Mr. Qin's expression gradually became solemn.
Father Qin knew very well that what happened last night and a poem shocked both generations of the Qin family.
"How will the Qin family go?" Mr. Qin asked leisurely.
"Father, are you a little shaken?"
"When you were young, did you feel distressed and regretful about not being able to become an official?"
"It's been a long time, I can't remember it anymore."
"I heard that taking the imperial examination does not matter where you were born. No matter who you are, as long as you get a name from the imperial examination, you can become an official. In this way, the Qin family will no longer have the right to appoint officials, and there will no longer be any outsiders. The Qin family is the core of our children. We will no longer speak for the Qin family, no longer do things for the Qin family, and no one will make a name for the Qin family."
"Father, if you make any decision, I will give you your full support. As for the clan members, I will do everything possible to appease you."
"Is the imperial examination we are trying our best to prevent for personal gain or fear of change? Which of the sons of our Qin family can stand out from the imperial examination?"
"Father, I was worried before, but now after seeing Sanlang, I am full of confidence in the future of the Qin family. The Qin family cannot be washed away by the waves."
