Dawei Fanghua

The problem of the school affairs office is a little more complicated.There were unknown officials inside, including Cao Shuang's Yin Mo, who went his own way and almost didn't listen to greetings; outside, there were ministers such as Tingwei who beat him, and the emperor's support could not be counted on at all.Although Qin Liang went on duty every day, he did not act rashly.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, Wang Guang sent someone to invite Qin Liang and his wife to go back to celebrate the festival and enjoy the moon. It was agreed upon.But before that, Zhong Hui held a luncheon in another courtyard, scheduled for August [-]th, and Qin Liang also received the invitation.

Qin Liang has never been very fond of socializing, but he thinks it would be beneficial to hang out with these children of wealthy families in Luoyang.Many people from poor backgrounds cannot get invited if they want to participate.

But there is a problem with this kind of gathering, and that is He Jun is present almost every time.He Jun's father is a minister and his mother is a princess. If the young scholars want to drink and write poems together, the person who organizes the game will definitely give him face.

As expected, Qin Liang left the city and just arrived at the courtyard of the Zhong family manor. When he entered the door, he saw He Jun.

After being greeted by everyone and introduced, Zhong Hui took Qin Liang to the pavilion to talk about the war in Huainan. He was already very interested in military affairs at a young age.Zhong Hui also asked the maid to bring some cloth, and while talking, he drew the directions of various ministries.

Zhong Hui did not hesitate to speak kindly, "Qin Zhongming is really the most talented person among the classmates of Imperial College, and he has also done the most as an official. He has reached the fifth rank. Please encourage me."

Qin Liang bowed his head and said: "I am also older, but Shi Ji has a bright future."

He Jun, who had been unable to say anything before, finally couldn't help but said: "When Zhong Ming went to do the school affairs order, couldn't he mean that he didn't want to do anything, couldn't do anything, and just wanted to be a fifth-grade man?"

The people who were talking and laughing soon stopped talking.At this time, most of the people who were educated and literate were respectable people. Even if they had conflicts, they usually had polite words to show their respect. So when everyone heard this, they felt like they were in for a show and they all shut up and started looking forward to it.

Qin Liang was very annoyed and thought: He is young and has such good conditions, but he always lives in the shadow of others, why bother?Of course, the shadow wanted to get rid of the matter of He Jun's wife, the Lu family, and Qin Liang did not want to take the blame. He had not yet come to the Wei Dynasty at that time.

Just as he was thinking of Mr. Lu, someone who was watching the fun and not taking it too seriously asked, "Why do you always have trouble with Zhong Ming? I heard that Zhong Ming once met Mrs. Ling. Is there any hidden secret?"

Qin Liang was stunned, and after a moment's weighing, he immediately said: "Mrs. Lu's father is an official in Taixue, and there are more than one or two people who know Mrs. Lu, so why bother trying to catch someone else?"

He Jun suddenly blushed, pointed at the man's nose and said, "Say it again?"

　
Zhong Hui hurriedly grabbed He Jun and said kindly: "Today is a happy gathering, Mr. He, please calm down." Then he turned around and said, "Your words are serious."

A group of young people also tried to persuade them to make peace, and finally it calmed down temporarily.However, after such a fuss, the good and elegant atmosphere has been destroyed. The poetry and wine activities arranged by Zhong Hui today were not very successful.Later, people reluctantly wrote some poems and poems, but none of them were good.Qin Liang didn't even write limericks, he just drank and punished himself.

……

On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, people in the Wang family are also busy.Before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, everyone will make a lot of thick cakes to give to the elderly in Luoyang and outside. All the elderly in the fields of Wangjiazhuang will be rewarded.

Wang Xuanji also came to help. Her hands were covered with wheat noodles. She gently wiped the sweat from her face with her sleeves and stood aside to take a breath.There were some beads of sweat on her oval face, her snow-white skin was slightly red, and her charming phoenix eyes were blurred by fatigue, making her look even more gorgeous.

There was a woman next to her who was still kneading dough. She was throwing two large balls of white flour on the chopping board. The dough had just the right amount of water and was very flexible.The woman pressed it up with one hand, and as soon as a depression was made in one place, the surface bulged out from the other side.

Wang Xuanji only rested for a while, and then she was eager to continue helping. She had a smile on her face and was in a good mood.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Bai, who had just entered the door at this time, immediately noticed Wang Xuanji's expression. She frowned and thought for a while, then stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Wash your hands and come back to the room with me. I have something to tell you."

The smile on Wang Xuanji's face immediately disappeared and she said, "I haven't finished my work yet." "You are not the only one left." Bai insisted.

Wang Xuanji had no choice but to obey, washed her hands, and followed Bai out silently.

The two walked through the corridor one after another and came to the room near the courtyard.Bai stuck his head out and looked around, then closed the wooden door, returned to Wang Xuanji, and looked up and down for a while.

Wang Xuanji felt uncomfortable being stared at, so she asked, "What on earth is going on?"

Bai Shi sneered and said, "I think you are very happy."

Wang Xuanji said: "Do I have to cry every day?"

"Are your wings stiff?" Bai asked, "Are you so happy to hear that Qin Zhongming is coming tomorrow?"

Wang Xuanji frowned and said, "What did my mother say? What does my relationship have to do with him?"

Bai Shi said: "He has climbed up a high branch and become prosperous now. I really didn't expect that Wang Gongyuan would like him."

Wang Xuanji said coldly: "Others don't rely on the Wang family to make a fortune at all, but they accomplish things first and then let the Wang family know people. It's not like my mother, who just wants to pick up what's already available."

"What?" Bai was furious and grabbed Wang Xuanji's arm, "What you say is getting more and more unpleasant!"

Wang Xuanji struggled to break away and glared at Bai.

Bai was startled by her gaze and was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses: "You still want to hit me, who gives you the courage?"

Wang Xuanji remained silent and did not want to hit Bai, but this time she found that her courage had suddenly become bolder. Not only did she not let herself be beaten, she also didn't want to let herself be scolded.She walked straight to the edge of the cave, pulled up the quilt and covered her head not wanting to listen.

However, Mrs. Bai refused to give in. She stepped forward and lifted Wang Xuanji's quilt, insulting her at one moment and recounting her achievements in detail at the other.

"You have the nerve to say that I picked it up off the shelf, but I don't want to pick it up off the shelf. Do you have a clean and respectable life now?" Mrs. Bai cried and cursed, "You not only brought shame to the Wang family, but you also brought trouble to yourself. Let's all die together... "

Wang Xuanji stopped saying anything and lay there motionless, as if she had entered a state of sleep with her eyes open.

Those unpleasant words seemed to be lost, and Wang Xuanji could only hear a voice in her ears, saying that she was willing to do anything for you...sincerely...without the slightest hint of hypocrisy.

She had recited those words in her heart countless times, and now she suddenly understood why she had become bolder. Could it be that Qin Liang's existence encouraged her?

But Wang Xuanji also understood that Qin Liang said those words out of guilt, not the affectionate commitment or even the oath of eternal love that she imagined.She thought to herself: If I am self-indulgent and take advantage of his guilt, what is the difference between me and those singers? Will I not be looked down upon?How does he feel about himself?
Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in her arm, and Wang Xuanji was forcefully pulled back from her semi-sleep.But she didn't resist anymore. Instead, she felt that the pain this time was not so unbearable.Perhaps she had an illusory imagination, that there would be other stronger feelings after the pain.

I don't know how much time passed, but Bai seemed to be tired and sat on the edge of the cave without saying a word. It seemed that there was no good way to deal with Wang Xuanji.
