Chapter 554 (1/2)
Seeing the sea like this, haixiu Yan couldn't help laughing.
”It's funny. In the eyes of the world, the powerful and resourceful marine was scared out of his wits by me. He couldn't speak. He was going to laugh off his teeth!”
Haishang Chen, a native of the south of the Yangtze River, was abandoned when she was born. She was a Huansha girl in a small fishing village. When she was Huansha by the water, she saw a small wooden basin floating in the distance. She was curious and found that there was a baby inside.
Huansha girl was kind-hearted. Considering that he was a small life, she ignored that she was an orphan and had no one to rely on. She still insisted on adopting the abandoned baby and asked the teacher in the neighboring village to name the child.
Knowing that reading was the only way out, Huansha girl went out to work every day. No matter how hard and tired she was, she didn't say a word. She was nice, diligent and sweet. She also earned a lot of money. She gave all this money to her son to study.
However, it is too difficult for a common people to support a scholar, especially in such a small village, some talents of the whole village provide a master.
Fortunately, Hai Shangchen worked hard and passed the scholar examination. The landlord in the town always liked scholars. Seeing that Shangchen had a bright future at sea, he married his little daughter Qiu Niang to Hai Shangchen and funded him to study.
When haishangchen saw that qiuniang was graceful and beautiful, and she was a rare beauty, he readily agreed that the two families were good friends of Qin and Jin.
Xianghai Shangchen rose step by step, but the landlord's father-in-law was jailed for offending others. Qiuniang was saved from this difficulty because she married a scholar master and had starving children.
Knowing that her father had been wronged, Qiu Niang waited wholeheartedly for her husband to return home after high school and help her father settle her grievances.
She waited and waited, day after day, year after year.
When Hai Shangchen's mother was young, she was tired of illness in order to work more to earn money for him to study. Qiu Niang had to take care of the old and pull the small. She also had to work to study for her son. A few years later, the graceful girl has now become a countryman.
Finally, when Hai Xiuyan was seven years old, Hai Shangchen finally came back.
After the reunion, Qiu Niang told Hai Shangchen about the changes in her family. At this time, Qiu Niang didn't know that Hai Shangchen was favored by the empress's direct sister because he won the first prize. If Hai Shangchen refused, all his efforts of studying hard for more than ten years in the cold window would be in vain. If he accepted it, he would make great progress in the future.
Hai Shangchen looked at his old mother, who was two years younger than him, but his hairy wife, who was 20 years older than him, especially the thatched house that could be blown down by the wind. Hai Shangchen's heart sank to the bottom.
What can an old woman who can get sick at any time and a fat wife who doesn't know big words bring him? But the Chen family is different. They will ensure that he will rise step by step in the imperial court and become an official respected by the world.
Qiuniang was immersed in the joy of haishangchen's return, but haishangchen was like an ant on a hot pot.
After suffering for a long time, he finally came up with a way.
He told his family that he would go back to the capital first, settle down, and then pick them up to enjoy their happiness in the capital. He was in a hurry. Moreover, nothing was arranged for his official documents. He was afraid to take them with him. If they were delayed, the official would not be able to do it, and their previous efforts would be in vain.
Qiu Niang and others trusted Hai Shangchen very much. After hearing this, they had no doubt at that time and hurriedly asked him to go.
