Siheyuan: Starting from the Police

It is getting dark and the world is already dark.

Curled up in the recliner, squinting his eyes and lighting a cigarette.

I have many thoughts.

That's the story my grandfather told me.

A long time ago, there was a scholar whose family was poor and his whole family supported him to study.

The scholar was quite ambitious. He was famous in his hometown before he even reached adulthood. Everyone said he was a rare talent.

Unfortunately, after the scholar passed the examination and became a juren, he did not want to take the imperial examination.

Someone was curious and asked the scholar, "With your talent, it would be a piece of cake for you to pass the imperial examination. Why don't you go? It would be a piece of cake for you to bring honor to your family and have a lovely wife and children."

The scholar was happy to explain, and always told those who asked him: "I am not studying to become an official, I am studying to improve myself!"

When people at that time heard this, they praised him highly and said that this was what a scholar was like.

After becoming a juren, scholars would either study hard at home every day or participate in literary gatherings.

He wrote many famous works in various literary gatherings.

Reputation grows day by day.

Later, the prime minister of the time passed by here.

After listening to the scholar's story, he praised it highly.

He specially found the scholar, and the two of them talked by candlelight at night, and they hit it off immediately.

From the Four Books and Five Classics to the Hundred Schools of Thought, the two of them got along better and better as they talked.

"You may know an article, originally named 'Seventy-two Chapters', but it has now been lost. What a pity!"

"To be honest, I have had the honor of reading this article. However..."

"But what's the worry? Between you and me, there's no need to care, just say it!"

"This article is a devilish one and is not worth reading. It is lucky that it was banned by the Sixteen Dynasties. Otherwise, common people who read this would fall into the devil's way and there would be no way back."

"Oh? Do you remember where it is? I have read all the articles in the world, but I have never seen this one. It is really a strange fate."

"I can't remember the article clearly. I've read so many books that it's hard to remember them all. I think there's a miscellaneous book called 'Head Portraits'. It records this article."

"In that case, when I have some free time, I will definitely read this "Head Portrait". This kind of magnificent writing has been banned by sixteen dynasties. It must be an extraordinary article."

The scholar sneered softly, "In my opinion, it's nothing special!"

The next day, the prime minister left.

Before leaving, he strongly invited the scholar to take the imperial examination again. He said: "If a talent like you does not take up an official post, it will be a great loss to our dynasty! When future generations find out, they will criticize us in the government for being blind and causing the pearl to be lost in the dust."

The scholar smiled and waved his hand to decline the offer.

A few days later, the prime minister returned to the capital.

She was obsessed with the scholar's talent, so she decided to marry her daughter to him.

It was an extraordinary event for the prime minister of the current dynasty to marry off his daughter.

On this day, there is ten miles of red makeup.

The dowry filled twenty large carts.

All the civil and military officials in the court congratulated the scholar.

The wedding is over and it’s time for the wedding night.

The scholar lifted the veil and looked at the beautiful lady with eyebrows and eyes, and was very excited.

As a result, when they were sleeping in the same room, the scholar slept alone in the study.

The young lady sat there all night and cried all night.

The next morning, the young lady saw the scholar and asked tearfully, "But my beauty is not pleasing to my husband?"

The scholar was shocked and said, "Madam, why do you say that? Madam, your beauty is so stunning that it can make fishes sink to the depths, geese drop to the ground, and the moon hide in shame."

"Then why doesn't my husband sleep with me?"

"Madam, I read the books of sages! Such obscene and vulgar things are not worth doing for a real man."

The young lady was furious when she heard this, "The harmony of yin and yang is the fundamental principle of human relations. Why do you despise it, my husband?"

"No need to say more, I am a righteous person and would never do such a dirty thing!"

The young lady laughed in anger, "Are you pretending to be your mother?"
