Qin Xiu was a noble son from a poor family, and he passed the imperial examination and won the third prize. At the Qionglin banquet, the emperor asked about his past. He mentioned that his biological father died young and his mother worked hard to farm for him to study. The emperor couldn't help but have tears in his eyes, but he did not mention that he had a fiancée.
At a time of unlimited glory, countless officials and aristocratic families were willing to marry, but his mother insisted that he marry the twin sons of a peasant family who had grown up in his family and were five years older than him. The two sides were in a stalemate, and his marriage was delayed until he was involved in the iron smelting case of the third prince. Due to the imperial edict issued by the same emperor, Yan Yan's friends who used to be joking and laughing in the past changed their demeanor overnight. They even refused to give him twenty taels of silver for his old mother's hard-earned pension. The twenty taels were not even worth half of their seals or a hairpin.
In the world, people are judged by success or failure. When Qin Xiu was sent to the border in shackles, he was only worried about his mother leaving. While he was at the border, he received a letter from his hometown that his mother had been taken to the countryside by his fiancé to take care of him.
Ten years of wind and rain, his face covered with dust and his temples as frosty as frost, only a few letters across thousands of miles of mountains and rivers told his mother that everything was fine.
Waiting for the amnesty, I received a letter while packing my luggage that my mother was seriously ill and had to return home as soon as possible. When he got on the horse returning to his hometown, he received the second letter. The village chief asked someone to write it for him, and he was heartbroken.
When he returned to his hometown, the house was in a mess and the walls were half-shattered. However, the few acres of fields at home were green and neat. He took Qin Xiu, who no longer knew the road, to find the village chief of the field. "Xiao Shu was always worried that you would have no food to eat when you came back and would be too tired to get up, so I packed up these acres of land."
Facing the evening breeze, Qin Xiu suddenly felt a slight coldness on his face, and it turned out that his face was already filled with tears.
He removed weeds from the tombs of his mother and Lin Shu, kept kowtowing, and drank several glasses of cold wine, which brought him back to the time when he was young and still studying in the village school.
The door creaked open - the light illuminated the pair of children holding a hoe, and Jing Chai's cloth skirt could not conceal her stunning beauty. She asked him a little nervously, "Are you going to study? I boiled an egg for you."
Qin Xiu was shocked and speechless.
All over again, he just wants to live up to the people he should cherish.

Viewed from the perspective: Lin Shu's father passed away, and his second uncle couldn't afford to support him, so he drove him to the Qin family in a fishing boat. He kowtowed before begging to take him in. Before leaving, he told him to work more and learn to be likeable. He became Mr. Pan, his adoptive parents gave birth to Qin Xiu, and their marriage was a matter of course. He knew that Qin Xiu didn't like him, who was older than him and didn't know a single word of Shuang's body covered with dirt. But he at least did the first half of his second uncle's instructions very well. When people from the sixteen villages asked to marry him, Qin Xiu was studying, and they had already become an old couple at twenty-one.
I hope your husband will go well, I hope your husband will go to high school, I hope your husband... Don't forget each other.

Warm reminder: 1. I don't have any feelings when I start fighting, I just want to repay the favor.
2. Attacking the imperial examination, there is an official plot
3. There will be no intimacy between the two parties until they reach adulthood.
Intention: Never give up on poverty or poverty, never give up on wealth or honor
