They thought he was a strong young man . Qin Guan was a reasonable man . A cool watermelon in a well was the best refreshment amid the scorching summer of South China .
Qin Guan rolled the wheel above the well to pull three watermelons up . They were all in the same bucket . That explained why the old men couldn't pull it up . They had just thrown them down and never thought about how they would pull them back up .
Qin Guan used a long knife to cut the three melons into six pieces .
"How should I divide them?"
"Just leave them there . Go get some rest in your room . Thanks a lot, Qin Guan . "
The six old men took the melons and began to eat them in the shadows with spoons . The three melons were perfect for them . They needed no more or less . Qin Guan had been just a free labor worker .
Qin Guan was still confused as he returned to his room . Wang had cleaned it up for him while he was gone . Before he could get over the shock, Wang heard a knock on the door . She opened it and returned with a small watermelon .
"They brought this for you to express their gratitude . "
At her words, tears started running down Qin Guan's eyes . He felt so grateful that he became confident once again .
Meanwhile, Jiao Huang was talking with another actor about the watermelons .
"Did you give him one?"
"Yes, Xiao Zhang said that he was really happy . "
"He is a silly, but honest young man . We should be kind to him . "
"My assistant said that the small one was not ripe, so I just gave it to him . "
. . .
Satisfied, Qin Guan set out to film his first scene . All the old men gathered around the director to watch the idiot . Will the silly boy perform well?
When Qin Guan walked out in his first costume, everyone burst into laughter . The crew was composed of hundreds of people . Qin Guan's first scene was an outside Cuju game [1], so there was a big audience around .
Qin Guan, who was the younger brother of a concubine, was more beautiful than the prettiest lady in the palace . Before he went out, the stylist pulled him back and applied some powder and rouge to his cheeks . Then he let him go .
Everyone saw a funny-looking guy in a red robe and a red turban walk over . The director nodded in satisfaction . The older actors were in no mood to laugh though . Qin Guan looked sillier with that makeup on .
Thus, the first scene began .
Prince Liang arrived in the capital with Han, who liked to watch the occasional Cuju game . Tian Fen found the man, and Han saw Tian Fen and the dinner presented to him . Tian Fen wanted to become friends with Han .
The cameraman used the best film, so every little detail was visible clearly on the camera, which set higher standards for the actors' performances .
Qin Guan rushed up to Han in his costume with an uncertain expression in his eyes . As he got closer, he gave Han a flattering smile .
"Don't blame me, Your Excellency . I just wanted to greet you . "
He cupped his hands eagerly . Everyone had forgotten about his looks by now . He was only a nobody trying to find a way out .
The proud man didn't pay any attention to him, even though he was still smiling warmly .
"Actually, I am related to Your Excellency . My sister is Prince Liang's sister-in-law . . . "
Han raised an eyebrow as Qin Guan finished his words after a pause . "She is a palace concubine . "
A mere concubine . . . Han put his poker face back on . For the sake of the dinner and his splendid smile, he decided to give Qin Guan a condescending wave . "Take a seat . "
Then he sat down with a splendid smile and gestured at the maid . "Bring the wine!"
Qin Guan just climbed up the social ladder . He clearly knew all about the power of a machinator .
