After Qin Hedong was scolded by his parents together, he felt dizzy.
Everything else would have been fine, but the fact that there was only one position available for appointment as an official was like a wake-up call to him.
Although people outside always praise them, saying that the three sons of the Qin family are all outstanding.
But only the best people know their own business. Qin Hedong has actually not been a good student since he was a child.
But for a family like the Qin family, as long as their descendants don't cause trouble outside, they can be praised as successful.
When he was studying in school, Qin Hedong always kept a low profile.
Because no matter how hard he worked, he could not compare to his younger brother who was two years younger than him.
At the beginning of the year, Qin Songyin submitted his name for appointment as an official, and he no longer had to go to the clan school to study. Instead, he arranged for two legal advisors to teach him some rules and principles of officialdom.
Unexpectedly, Qin Hedong was much smarter in this aspect than he was in studying, and he could understand some things at a glance.
It was also because of this that Qin Songyin relaxed his control over him a little.
After all, children from families like theirs have many more choices than ordinary people, and they don't have to force their children to study hard.
This sudden relaxation gave Qin Hedong more time to go out and hang out with some friends.
But most of the children of his age were studying in the clan school or even the Imperial College at this time. How could they have time to go out and play?
Most of the people he hangs out with are second-generation rich kids who are spoiled at home, or playboys who have been abandoned by their families.
Qin Hedong was the only one among them who was sure to become an official and only needed to wait for the court to assign him a position. He suddenly became the center of attention.
After spending a long time with these people, Qin Hedong was flattered to the point that he completely forgot that all of this was thanks to his family.
Qin Songyin was afraid that his son would feel pressured, so he never mentioned the fact that there was only one position available for the imperial appointment.
And none of the people who played with Qin Hedong had any serious business, so he only knew about this matter today.
At the moment, his head was still buzzing.
I thought I was the one who was not cared for, but I didn't expect that I was actually the one who was favored.
Thinking of this, Qin Hedong's whole body trembled with shame.
After Qin Songyin finished speaking, he turned and left.
Qin Hedong buried his head in Mrs. Qin's arms, feeling her gentle caress on his back, and finally couldn't hold back a cry.
"Mom, I, I was wrong..."
"Good boy, it's good that you know you're wrong."
Mrs. Qin felt relieved. The child was still a good person by nature. Fortunately, the problem was discovered in time. As long as she could bring him back on the right path, it would be fine.
"As for my third brother..." Qin Hedong asked hesitantly.
"Don't worry, Hexuan is not a child who will bear grudges."
Mrs. Qin said this, but she was actually not sure.
After all, this child did not grow up by her side, and Qin Hexuan was a person who did not like to express himself, so until now, Mrs. Qin still was not sure about his temperament.
But at this time, Qin Hedong was so ashamed that he was about to collapse, and she could only comfort him in this way.
Qin Hexuan was unaware of what was happening at home. He was accompanying Qingtian to the evening market.
As evening approached, many more stalls selling snacks appeared in the market.
Many of them were things that Qingtian had never seen or eaten before, and the shouts of them captivated her.
Qin Hexuan originally didn't intend to let her eat too much food from the stalls outside, but he couldn't resist Qingtian's curiosity.
As long as she looked at him with expectant eyes, Qin Hexuan would always be the one to compromise in the end.
"Okay, this is the last one. Don't eat any more after you finish this."
Seeing Qingtian eating a lot of random food, Qin Hexuan stopped him in frustration, "If you like it, we can come over tomorrow night. We can't eat today."
But worried that Qingtian might be unhappy, he quickly said, "The circus over there is about to start. Do you want to go and watch it?"
"Yes!" Qingtian's attention was successfully diverted.
Qin Hexuan took her to walk half a street, and the number of people on the street ahead was visibly increasing.
The Qin family's guards protected the two of them and quickly walked to the front.
The performer today is a medium-sized acrobatic troupe.
They had cordoned off a large area for themselves.
The official performance had not yet begun, and there were a few young apprentices in the circle who were performing some simple but lively performances to liven up the atmosphere.
Song Tao glanced at the words on the flagpole and whispered to Qin Hexuan and Qingtian, "This is the Song Clan, and the mainstays are a pair of twin brother and sister.
"The two of them are flying acrobats, and their performances have always been the Song Clan's unique skill, which others cannot learn even if they want to.
"Besides this pair of pillars, the Song Clan has several other members with unique skills..."
As Qingtian listened to Songtao's introduction, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he didn't even bother to eat the food in his hand.
Seeing that quite a few people gathered around, the gong sounded and the performance of the Song Family Troupe officially began.
Just as Song Tao said, the Song family troupe really has something. Even the activities like bowl balancing and fire breathing that every troupe has, they have come up with new tricks.
Seeing several people on the stage spitting fire at the audience, Qingtian was so scared that he covered his eyes at first, and then moved his feet and stood in front of Qin Hexuan.
Qin Hexuan felt warmed by her action.
When the fire started to erupt on the field, Qingtian had already quietly grabbed the corner of his clothes.
He originally thought that Qingtian would be scared and hide behind him, but he didn't expect that the child would stand in front of him despite being afraid.
