Hearing the imperial exam papers, Zeng's father felt a little sour in his heart. Among all the honors that a civil servant can have, this cheap son is indispensable!

He replied: "It's okay, loyalty and filial piety are two words, loyalty comes before filial piety. You have no way to repay the emperor's kindness. Of course, you must do your best to put state affairs first."

Then Qin Dewei asked again: "Why did the master come back at this time?"

Zeng Hou's father replied: "It's just to return to Beijing to resign and accept the inspection."

Qin Dewei frowned and said, "It's not a good time for me to come back."

"What's wrong?" Zeng's father asked.

Qin Dewei replied: "I'm afraid the temple will not be stable next month. Master, if you come back at this time, you will be easily involved."

If I remember correctly, next month the Imperial Ancestral Temple was struck by lightning and caught fire, destroying most of it.

Zeng’s father couldn’t help complaining: “In your opinion, when will the temple be stable? Last year you said that this year was a big political year. This spring has just begun, and you said that the temple is not stable. You just said when will it be peaceful?

?”

Qin Dewei said helplessly: "Master, what are you talking about? Whether the court can be calm or not is not my decision!"

Zeng Hou's father looked up to the sky and sighed: "Why do I feel that all the instability has something to do with you?

You are like the source of all turmoil. If things go on like this, the blessings and misfortunes will be unpredictable!"

Qin Dewei: "."

Originally, because of the sensitivity of his non-biological stepfather, Zeng's stepfather never spoke of himself in this way. How can we make Zeng's stepfather correctly understand his family status?

After thinking for a while, Qin Dewei turned around and said, "Master, it's better not to talk about me. Think about how you can work hard to make progress."

Zeng's father said dissatisfiedly: "I have already reached the position of governor, and my performance has been impressive. How can I work harder?"

Qin Dewei said: "Your wife, as a result of her son, is now a first-rank official; your son is a super-rank earl and a first-rank prose scholar, and is a third-rank official;

Your daughter-in-law is Mrs. Bo, and she has the same first-grade imperial title. I won’t mention the other children who are hereditary third-grade royal guards commanders.

You are the only one in the family who is currently only at the fourth level. As the head of the family, you must redouble your efforts, otherwise you will have an equal dialogue with us first-level people like us in the future?"
