The blue waves are vast, the sky is high and the water is vast. , Chen Xinghan stands at the bow of the boat and looks into the distance, with his thoughts rising and falling.
However, a strong wind suddenly blew, and the calm river surface suddenly surging. The hull was beaten by the waves and immediately became bumpy.
Chen Xinghan was too obsessed and actually stood unsteadily and fell straight into the river.
It’s a pity that he doesn’t know the nature of the water. He just suffocated in this rushing river, and was about to die!
At this critical moment, Su Fuguang, who was resting in the cabin, heard the movement and ran out and jumped into the river to rescue him. Chen Xinghan, who survived the disaster after
, was naturally grateful to his friends, but Su Fuguang did not take this matter to heart.
After this little episode, the two successfully arrived at the provincial capital. They were ambitious to take the exam, but when the list was released, they failed again.
Back in the village, in order to support the family, the two of them were discouraged and gave up the idea of getting a fame and fortune.
The following year, Su Fuguang's wife gave birth to a son, named Su Wangcheng. Chen Xinghan's wife also gave birth to a daughter shortly after, named Chen Xianning.
Because he was obsessed with his friend's life-saving grace, Chen Xinghan proposed to be a family with Su Fuguang. Su Fuguang also recognized his friend's character very much, so he naturally agreed.
That's it, Su Wangcheng and Chen Xianning decided to doll kiss as soon as they were born! Under the witness of their mutual friends, the two families solemnly wrote down the wedding letter , which was considered to have officially become in-laws.
At first, in order to cultivate children's feelings, the two families often traveled around on weekdays. But not long after, Chen Xinghan started a business with the help of his tribe, and then moved his family into the county town, and his life became richer.
But Su Fuguang is always in bad luck and his life is getting poorer and poorer. What’s even more unfortunate is that when his son Su Wangcheng was six years old, Su Fuguang and his wife were both infected. They died not long after because of lack of medical treatment and medicine.
In a blink of an eye, Su Wangcheng became an orphan!
Fortunately, there was a man named Liu from the same village who was kind-hearted. He invested in buying two coffins to help him bury his parents, and took him home to arrange a cattle herding job, which was to give him a full meal.
Liu Yuanwai has twin children under his knees. His son is Liu Yulong and his daughter is Liu Yufeng. They are all smart and extremely intelligent.
The outsider loves these two treasures very much and has high hopes for his son Liu Yulong, hoping that he will be successful in the exam when he grows up and shines his ancestors!
So he spent a lot of money to invite his husband to his home and asked him to teach his six-year-old son how to read and practice calligraphy alone.
Mr. Liu was very concerned about his son's studies and went outside the school to investigate when he had time. Unexpectedly, he met the cowherd Su Wangcheng several times eavesdropping outside the window.
Seeing that he had such a strong desire for knowledge, Liu Yuanwai couldn't help but think to himself: "There is no shortage of a cowherd child at home. Since this child has ambition, I would just do good things to the end and send the Buddha to Xi to ask him to study with Long'er. If this child can get fame and change his destiny in the future, isn't a good deed? "
At that time, Su Wangcheng was eight years old. Since then, he has transformed from a cowherd child into a young master's companionship student, and began to study with Liu Yulong.
He is very grateful to Mr. Liu, and he also cherishes this rare opportunity and studies very hard.
Liu Yulong first studied with his husband alone, and was depressed. When he saw his father arranged a companionship for him, he also saw that Su Wangcheng learned everything quickly, his competitive spirit was unknowingly aroused.
The two often compete to discuss their studies, and no one is convinced. In order to be able to suppress each other, the two are becoming more and more diligent and their studies are also making great progress.
Time flies, and time passes.
Eight years passed in a flash, and Su Wangcheng is already sixteen years old!
This year, he and Liu Yulong participated in the Tongsheng Examination, and both achieved good results and passed the scholarship in one fell swoop.
Liu Yuanwai was very happy. Over the years, he had always treated Su Wangcheng differently. Now seeing that he has achieved some success and is already an adult, he took out some money to him to worship his parents and repair the grave.
Back to the deserted home, Su Wangcheng looked at the desolate courtyard, and the vague memories of childhood gradually appeared in front of him, and irrepressible sadness also surged into his heart.
Buy a good fragrant wax paper candle, and Su Wangcheng came to his parents' grave and cried!
cried! He also emotionally told the support of Liu Yuanwai for his years, as well as the brotherhood that Liu Yulong and he established through his joint study...
On the evening, Su Wangcheng thought to himself that he had finally grown up and it was time to fulfill his father's last wish. Tomorrow, he would go to his wife's house who had not passed by!
chapters were divided into two parts, but it was said that when Su Fuguang and his wife passed away, Chen Xinghan happened to go to another place to do business.
It took three whole years to go there. When I came back, I heard that my friend and his wife had both passed away and their future son-in-law became orphans. He was heartbroken and rushed back to his hometown to look for Su Wangcheng, wanting to take him by his side to take care of him.
But at that time, Su Wangcheng had been studying in the Liu family for more than a year. In order not to affect his studies, Mr. Liu went out to discuss with Chen Xinghan, and finally convinced him to let Su Wangcheng stay and continue to study. After that, Chen Xinghan will come to visit Su Wangcheng whenever he has time, and will also go to his friend's grave to worship.
It’s just that there are unexpected events in the world , and he suddenly fell ill the previous year. All the doctors invited were helpless. Just as they were not able to survive, Chen Xinghan took his wife Luo's hand and told him before his death, "My wife! I am not lucky enough to wait until the day when Wangcheng and Xianning got married! I hope you will take some time and get tired after I die, and handle the children's marriage as scheduled!"
Looking at her dying husband, Luo's heart was unhappy, but he still agreed casually, "Okay, I know!"
received his wife's reply, and Chen Xinghan, who had already exhausted his eyes, then he closed his eyes with confidence and swallowed his last breath. But he would never know that Luo Shi lied to him.
Because Luo feels that his daughter is now graceful and charming, why does have to marry a pauper?
Chen Xianning's mind was similar to her mother. When she learned that her future husband was just a companion to the young master of a wealthy family, she had long disliked her.
When after the meal of Chen Xinghan's funeral, the mother and daughter discussed this matter.
Luo said, "Son! You will be sixteen in two years, and it is the age to get married! According to Wei Mother's intention, we don't need to abide by the engagement with the Su family. Mother will find you a good family again, so as not to marry the poor boy Su Wangcheng!"
Chen Xianning quickly nodded and then said with a bitter face: "My daughter is the same as her mother thinks, but she has a marriage letter! What if he refuses to break off the engagement?"
Luo said coldly, "Don't worry about this, you will have your own way for your mother!"
The two of them have made up their minds to regret the marriage since then, but Su Wangcheng, who was studying hard, still didn't know it!
Let’s talk about Su Wangcheng again. That day, he put on clean and neat clothes, bought a gift, and happily brought his wedding letter to his mother-in-law’s house. After the greetings, he expressed his intention to marry Chen Xianning as soon as possible!
Unexpectedly, Luo's face was long and said, "Wangcheng! Don't blame me for being straightforward. What else do you have except for a few broken houses that are about to collapse? What do you use to support my daughter like this? What do you give her happiness?"
Su Wangcheng suddenly blushed, but then straightened his back and said confidently: "Please don't worry, sir, I have passed the scholarship, and I will continue to work hard to get fame in the future. It will definitely allow Xianning to live a good life!"
Luo's sneered after hearing this. He said sarcastically: "What you said is nothing. Maybe you really want Xianning to live a good life, but it's a pity that you don't have the ability! In my opinion, you might as well break the engagement! Why do you have to hold a marriage letter to delay her happiness?"
Su Wangcheng heard the implicit voice and said angrily: "My mother-in-law, I know you think I'm poor and I'm not promising! But the marriage between Xianning and I was decided by my father. How can I break the contract at will? Forgive me, I must not obey my fate when breaking the engagement!" After
, Su Wangcheng left angrily!
Looking at his departure back, a trace of resentment appeared in Luo's eyes and said harshly: "Tell me well, you just don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless!"
came out of his mother-in-law's house, Su Wangcheng felt very uncomfortable, and his mind was full of her sarcastic appearance. I couldn't help but sigh, and came to the river to pick up the water and wash my face. Then I felt a little better.
Just as Su Wangcheng got up and was about to continue his journey, he suddenly heard bursts of crying from behind him. Looking in the sound, he saw an old man with white hair sitting under the willow tree by the river, wiping his tears sadly!
Su Wangcheng is kind-hearted and can't stand the suffering of the world. immediately threw away his troubles and walked up to ask, "Old man, what's wrong with you? Why are you so sad when you cry?"
The old man raised his head, and what caught Su Wangcheng's eyes was a face full of ravines. He cried with tears in his eyes: "The old man worked hard for more than ten years in the master's house. Now that he is old, he can't do anything like this! The master bought me for Butcher Zhang. Tomorrow he will kill me under this tree to sell meat!"
Su Wangcheng was shocked when he heard this, The world is bright and the world is clear and peaceful. How could anyone do such a thing that goes against the laws of nature and loses his conscience?
Seeing him with an incredible expression, the old man said again: "You can tell that you are a kind young man. Now I'm afraid that only you can save the old man's life! The old man said all the truth. If you don't believe it, you will know it at this point tomorrow!"
That night, Su Wangcheng tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. What the old man said was too dangerous and it was hard for him to believe.
What if it is true? That's a life! How can I sit still?
Thinking of this, he came to the willow tree early just after dawn the next day, but he didn't know that there was no ghost under the tree!
Could it be that I came too early!
Su Wangcheng was muttering to himself when suddenly he heard footsteps coming.
Looking up, he saw Butcher Zhang walking slowly with an old cow.
As soon as the two met, butcher Zhang quickly said with a smile on his face, "Oh! Su Xiucai is so early! Speaking of which, I haven't gone to congratulate you yet! I'm going to kill this old cow today. I'll get two kilograms of meat for you later, so don't dislike it!"
Su Wangcheng was shocked and asked, "You want to kill the cow here?"
"Yes! This place is close to water, so it's convenient to deal with it!"
Zhang's butcher had already tied the cow to the willow tree while speaking, and was preparing for it!
"The master bought me to Butcher Zhang. He will kill me under this tree early tomorrow morning to sell meat!"
Su Wangcheng's mind echoed the old man's words yesterday, and he became more and more surprised. I couldn't help but look at the old cow, but saw that the old cow was also looking at him with tears in his eyes, with prayers all over his eyes!
Could it be that it was asking me for help yesterday?
Su Wangcheng suddenly felt pity and hurriedly called out to Butcher Zhang who was about to take action, and said, "Oh, wait! Brother Zhang, this cow is pitiful, otherwise, don't kill it!"
Butcher Zhang was stunned, then looked unhappy and said, "This cow was bought by me with real money, so I pointed to killing the meat and earned a few hard money! You tell me not to kill it, it's easy! If you really think it's pitiful, buy it with the money. Whether it's killing or not is your business!"
Su Wangcheng thought to himself that Butcher Zhang was quite reasonable, so he asked him how much he was willing to sell it.
Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, but the butcher Zhang thought for a while and said, "It's okay to sell you, but I bought it to make money. So in addition to the cost of buying bulls, you have to add some profits to me.
In recent years, Mr. Liu has given Su Wangcheng some pocket money from time to time. But he devoted himself to his homework and had no time to spend it, so he saved it all.
plus the money given to him by the official not long ago to repair his parents' graves. After collecting them all, they finally got enough of the money Zhang Butcher Zhang wanted, and Su Wangcheng took the old cow away from him.
That night, Su Wangcheng had a strange dream.
In the dream, he saw the old man he met under the tree keep thanking him, and said with a smile: "Thank you, kind-hearted person, for saving me from the pain of skinning and bones! It is difficult to repay my great kindness. Old man, I will remind you, , be careful of your mother-in-law, !"
woke up the next day, and the scene in the dream was vivid in my mind, and Su Wangcheng couldn't help but sweat. The old man said in his dream that his mother-in-law had a murderous intention. If she insisted on not breaking the engagement, she would probably lose her life!
Recalling the previous incident, Su Wangcheng would rather believe it is than trust it without ! Anyway, the mother and mother look down on them. As the saying goes, the forced melon is not sweet, so it is better to fulfill their wish. Just retreat if you want to leave the marriage! After thinking it through, Su Wangcheng went to his mother-in-law's house again.
Seeing him coming to the door, Luo's face looked very ugly. He waited for Su Wangcheng to take out his marriage letter and return it to her. His attitude immediately changed drastically. He kept praising him for being wise and even took out a ingot of silver to thank him.
Su Wangcheng didn't even look at it, turned around and left with ease, feeling indescribable at ease!
The things at home were almost done, so he led Lao Niu back to Mr. Liu's house. After more than 0 years of getting along with each other, Su Wangcheng had already regarded the official as his father, so he told him what happened during this period.
After hearing this, Liu Yuanwai pondered for a moment and said, "This old cow must be spiritual. I will keep it in the village and be a immortal cow!"
Hearing this arrangement, Su Wangcheng was very happy and was about to say a few words of thanks to the old cow. He also heard Mr. Liu say earnestly: " Why don't you have a wife in your real man? The two of Luo's mothers despise the poor and love the rich, and look down on you! Little do they know that there is a saying that Don't bully the young man poor ! It's good that this marriage is broken! I have high hopes for you. From now on, you must calm down and work hard. You can't let my expectations down!"
Su Wangcheng nodded vigorously and remembered Liu Yuanwai's teachings in his heart. From then on, I forgot to eat and study hard, and my hard work pays off. In the subsequent provincial examinations, he and Liu Yulong both passed the high school entrance examinations.
Years, the two went to Beijing to take the imperial examination. After the three exams were finished, the list was released a month later. The two were awarded the title again, and they were in high school and were admitted to the Hanlin Academy together.
Good news came back, and Mr. Liu was overjoyed and held a banquet to entertain guests. There were endless people coming to congratulate him every day.
has three months off before officially taking office. When the two returned to their hometown, Liu Yuanwai announced in public that he would be betrothed his precious daughter Liu Yufeng to Su Wangcheng and get married today!
For a moment, the Liu family was decorated with lights and was very lively. The flowing seat , which had been on display for more than half a month, gradually faded!
After living at home for three months, Su Wangcheng bid farewell to his father-in-law and returned to the capital with his wife and Liu Yulong!
two flowers bloom, each with one branch!
However, after Luo broke up his daughter's kinship with Su Wangcheng, he felt very unhappy and quickly married Chen Xianning to a rich young man.
It’s just that the rich young man was a very playboy. He was good at eating, drinking, gamble and everything, and soon lost all the wealth left by his ancestors.
Not only that, he also used sweet words to gain Chen Xianning's trust, cheated Chen Xinghan's property left to the mother and the mother, and lost all of it. In the end, he died under the fist of the casino thug because he could not pay back his debts.
The two Luo family members have been wandering on the streets since then, missing! More than 0 years later, Liu Yuanwai was already old, so Su Wangcheng and his wife returned to their hometown to pick him up in the capital to enjoy their old age.
on the way back to Beijing passed by Xuzhou , and Su Wangcheng temporarily docked and visited friends. There was a noise in the middle of the passage. When I opened the curtain of the sedan chair, I saw two female beggars begging on the side of the road. Whenever someone passed by, I kept begging, holding a broken bowl, "Okay, okay, give me a stutter! We two have been hungry for several days!"
Su Wangcheng felt that his voice sounded very familiar. After careful identification, he realized that the two beggars were not others, but Luo and Chen Xianning's mother.
Su Wangcheng also heard a little about their experiences, and there was a mixture of emotions at the moment, so he called his follower and gave a few instructions.
The follower got the order and took two ingots of silver and quietly stuffed it into Luo's hand. He whispered: "This is for you by Lord Su. There are so many people here, so please put it away!"
Luo and Chen Xianning were both surprised and happy. He quickly looked up and looked around, and saw a gorgeous sedan chair parked not far away.
Through the curtain of the sedan chair, the mother and daughter saw a familiar and unfamiliar face, and suddenly felt red and ashamed. I immediately put the silver on my shoulders and ran away like flying, and disappeared into the vast sea of people in a blink of an eye.
Yuanwai Liu came to the capital. Under the careful care of his son, daughter-in-law, daughter and son-in-law, he lived until he was over 90 years old before he died.
