In Wangshan Town, Luoyang County, , there is a poor scholar named Su Haowen who lost his father in his early years. It was his mother who worked hard to raise him, and by selling vegetables to support him in school, the mother and son lived a difficult life.
Although Su Haowen is very poor, he is very ambitious. He was determined to work hard to become famous and let his mother live a good life. Unfortunately, something unexpected happened. When Su Haowen was fourteen years old, his mother suddenly fell seriously ill and was bedridden.
In order to treat his mother's illness, Su Haowen took all his belongings, almost two taels of silver, to the town to ask the doctor to see his mother.
Doctor Zhang San saw that he was very filial and lived a tight life. He only collected three cents and sent some medicine.
Before leaving, doctor Zhang San repeatedly told Su Haowen that his mother was in a weak state and asked him to find a way to catch some wild goods for his mother to take care of her and keep her mother's health well.
Back home, Su Haowen boiled the decoction. After his mother took the decoction, she brought the tools into the mountain to catch pheasant ; but he wandered in the mountain for a long time and got nothing, and he returned empty-handed after being disappointed.
Later, when he passed a small river, he thought of catching some fish for his mother to taste, and he came to the riverside.
But the luck is still bad, and no fish is pounced on.
Suddenly, he felt a pain in the soles of his feet.
bent over and looked carefully and it turned out to be a huge mussel .
Su Haowen was so happy that he quickly picked up the mussels and put them in the basket.
Then he took out a dagger and prepared to pry open the mussel shell to get the meat.
At this time, the mussel spitted and a woman's voice came from a crying voice, "Young Master, please let me go, I will repay you."
Su Haowen said: "Mussels, mussels, since you can speak, you must be a female mussel spirit who has practiced for a hundred years. All the fairies are very powerful and easy to deal with mortals. Why is it so easy for me to catch them?"
In desperation, the mussels had to tell the reason.
It turns out that in this river, there is a group of black fish spirits with endless magic power. Among them, the boss of the black fish spirit bullied mussels several times with his skill, forcing river clams to provide food.
Mussel essence was not supplied on time a while ago, offending the black fish essence.
Black fish spirit was furious and seriously injured the mussel, sealing his divine power. Demolition of mussel spirit house.
Fortunately, the mussels were not at home that day and escaped.
Just like that, in order to escape, the river mussel girl was just hiding under the stones on the shore.
Afraid of being discovered by the black fish spirit, the mussel spirit hid for a long time.
But it was too hungry, so it went out to find food to eat.
but I was accidentally caught by Su Haowen.
Su Haowen thought of the poor mussel, and did not make things difficult for him, and planned to put it on.
He said to himself: "Hey, my mother is seriously ill and very weak. I originally wanted to kill mussels to get meat, but now I have to let you have a way out."
Mussel spirit was very excited when he heard this and said: "Young master, I will definitely thank you.
"You kept saying thank you, but didn't tell me how to repay me? "
" Young Master, I am bluntly speaking, the princess will pass by this river in two days. The princess brought an extremely precious moon pearl. The black fish spirit would want to kill the princess on the same day to take away the moon pearl, because this moon pearl can allow the black fish to obtain pure mana. If you tell the princess this news, you will definitely make great contributions, and then you will have a wealth that is within your fingertips. "
Mussel essence was well-known, Su Haowen had no doubts and immediately reported to the yamen.
Although Su Haowen said it was amazing, it was also very meaningful. If the princess really had an accident here, the court would blame him, and the county magistrate would be worse than death.
So, the county magistrate immediately invited sixteen Taoist priests to take charge of the princess to ensure the princess' safety.
As expected, the princess came in two days.
That day, the black fish spirit came to snatch the moon pearl, and was finally subdued by one of the Taoists using a move from flying immortals in the sky.
Later, Gege rewarded the county magistrate.
But the county magistrate dared not take credit for it and told the princess truthfully that the biggest contributor was the poor scholar Su Haowen.
Why don’t the county magistrate dare to take the credit exclusively?
Last night, the mussel spirit found the county magistrate and warned him not to be too rush to take credit; if he did not listen to advice, the county magistrate would turn into a small river snail.
County magistrate was frightened and had to do so. Afterwards, Princess came to thank him in person.
The princess saw Su Haowen at first sight and was attracted by his handsome appearance. In addition to Su Haowen's talent, the princess has a good impression of him and secretly agrees.
Girl learned that her future mother-in-law was seriously ill, and immediately invited several famous doctors from the capital to treat Su Haowen's mother and took the initiative to take care of Su's mother.
After a while, Princess and Su Haowen looked like mung beans. The more they looked, the more they liked it. The two were soaked by the sweet love, and they were in love.
After Su's mother recovered from illness, Su Haowen and the princess got married.
Although Su Haowen became the son-in-law, he was not proud, but focused on studying and finally passed the exam to the top scorer.
Later, Su Haowen was appointed as the prefect of Suzhou by the court.
A few years later, Su Haowen was honest and upright, loved the people as his son. With his good political achievements, he was promoted and entrusted with important tasks by the court, and finally became the Minister of Shangshu.
