Pearl Tower

Fang Qing was originally a child of a Kaifeng family. His father once served as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but he was framed by a traitor and was brutally executed. The whole family declined. The young Fang Qing was in rags, so he had no choice but to seek refuge with his uncle Chen Lian, the censor in Xiangyang. Unexpectedly, his aunt disliked the poverty and wealth, and insulted him and kicked him out. Just as Fang Qing was about to leave angrily, Chen Cui'e, Chen Lian's daughter, secretly felt pity and sent her maid Caiping to the embroidery room to offer her tea and words of comfort. Fang Qing felt sad, but still left alone. When he arrived at Jiu Song Pavilion, he rested. Chen Lian realized that his wife was rude, so he came to see her personally and entrusted his beloved daughter to her for the rest of her life. Fang Qing couldn't refuse, so he agreed to the engagement. Unexpectedly, among the refreshments obtained on the way, there was a pearl tower hidden, which symbolized wealth and good luck. Unexpectedly, the strong bandits robbed Fang Qing on the way, and Fang Qing almost died. Fortunately, he was rescued by Bi Hong, the main town of Sanguan. The gangsters wanted to sell the Pearl Tower, but the store owner found out and sent it to the Chen Mansion, where the truth came to light. Chen Lian captured the thief and reported it to the official, and the Xiangyang Mansion learned that Fang Qing was still alive. Bi Hong saw that Fang Qing had extraordinary talent and appearance, so he promised his beloved daughter Bi Xiu gold and donated money to help her go to Beijing to take the exam. At the same time, Fang Qing's mother, Yang, had been searching for her for a long time to no avail. When she heard that her son had been robbed, she threw herself into the Qinghe River. Fortunately, she was rescued by a nun and took up residence in Bailian Nunnery. As fate would have it, Chen Cui'e and Bi Xiujin went to burn incense and met Fang's mother. Bi Xiujin magnanimously gave in and respected Cui'e as his wife, and the three of them cherished each other. Fang Qing changed his name to Fang Ding. Sure enough, he was named on the gold medal list, won the first prize, and was ordered to patrol seven provinces. When he returned home in fine clothes, he first transformed into a Taoist to test his aunt, but still found that she disliked poverty and loved wealth, so he mocked her with Taoism, which made her ashamed. Then he revealed his identity, welcomed his mother out of the nunnery, and married Cui'e Xiujin, finally redressing the family feud and consummating the family relationship. The light of perseverance and righteousness in the ups and downs of fate.
