Pei Le is the most arrogant ger in the village. The youngest child in a well-off family, he was spoiled rotten and dared to pin the village men down and beat them up.
Some sour-minded villagers sighed whenever they saw him, saying that once he grew up, he would never find a husband. No man would dare take him.
Pei Le would reply that anyone without the courage to do so was unworthy of being his husband anyway. Besides, he had no intention of marrying out. He wanted a husband who would marry into his family.
Not long after he said this, Pei Le's marriage was arranged. His match was a scholar his own age, whose parents and other family members had all passed away, so he would marry into Pei Le's family.
The twelve-year-old scholar was short and thin, but his bright black eyes gazed at Pei Le. Pei Le wasn't impressed.
But the marriage wasn't up to him. His eldest brother arranged a place for the scholar to live, fortunately quite far from Pei Le's room.
In Pei Le's eyes, scholars were all arrogant and knew nothing about farming.
But his betrothed was different. He studied diligently and knew how to work. Whenever he saved a little money, he would buy Pei Le sweets to make him happy. He even taught him to read and write...
Gradually, Pei Le came to think that his eldest brother had an excellent eye and great foresight.

When Cheng Li was young, disaster struck his home. By the time his family fled, only he and his father were left alive.
The father and son registered as a new household and settled in an unfamiliar place. His father was a licentiate, so earning a living was easier for him than for ordinary people, and he had no trouble raising Cheng Li.
But their good fortune did not last. After years of saving, just as they had finally started living well, his father fell ill and never recovered. He spent all their money on treatment, then passed away.
All he left Cheng Li was a thatched hut and a chest of books.
Cheng Li had no qualifications, and whenever he went looking for work, people took advantage of his youth, cheating him and shortchanging him on his wages.
Even in his thatched hut, people would sneak in at night to steal his belongings. If he caught them, they wouldn't apologize. They would simply try to rob him outright.
He had endured enough, and with no other choice, decided to marry himself off.
He had his eye on the Pei family's ger in the neighboring village.
He had seen Pei Le beat people up. Pei Le was strong and fierce, able to take on two men his own age by himself.
That was the kind of husband Cheng Li wanted.

Years later, the scholar rose to a high government position, while the once-arrogant farm boy became a celebrated general.
Their names were carved at the village entrance, and every child at the school knew their stories. They learned that only by studying hard could they hope to make something of themselves like the two of them.
When Pei Le returned to the village, the people who had once mocked him were nearly scared out of their wits. They hid indoors, afraid to come out. Watching through cracks in their windows as Pei Le passed by, surrounded by people, they regretted what they had done.
*An arrogant ger and a gentle scholar, a husband-and-husband duo who make their fortunes through both brains and brawn. The story has plenty of plot in the later chapters.

Theme: Diligence and perseverance lead to achievement.
It's not finished yet, so I can't rate it. I think it's a 4.5 In my mind. The writing is smooth and the characters are well created. The officialdom is too realistic and it's not a good read. I just feel that the last chapter should have dozens of chapters. But at least the last chapter gave me the ending I wanted. I hope I can continue to write good-looking articles.
It's a very good article. My colleagues read it with gusto, and I also read it. It is rare to see such a good pure love story. At least 90% of the charm of this article lies in Pei Le and other brothers represented by Pei Le. The setting is that the prince-in-law has always been restricted. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. In the Ming Dynasty, due to the ideas inherited from the Zhu Yuanzhang family and the special time, the prince-in-law was increasingly restricted, but this was not the case before and after. You see, in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, sons-in-law were highly valued. In the Tang Dynasty, Princess Shang elevated her status and gave glory to meritorious officials. Famous ones such as Xue Wanche and Ashina
I like this article very much, but it doesn't make sense for a general to march with his concubine. It can be explained by the fact that both of the protagonists have official positions. Besides, the two of them ignored the military records on the first night. I personally feel that what the adjutant said is not wrong.
No, there is really something wrong with this website. It is really annoying to use such dirty tricks over and over again [angry]
It's so beautiful. I finished reading it in one sitting. My only regret is that it's not finished yet. I finished it [Orange Candy].
With those words, you can see that everything is industrial sugar. How much kindness you have given without breaking off the engagement?
Go ahead, I'm going to be fooled again. Why do you have to have such a plot to pull me apart? Why don't you like Dumei? They are all so realistic. Who would read the article without beautiful feelings? [Tickling]
It is completely unnecessary to write the plot of Hugh Brother in order to change the law for the brother and the woman. You can obviously write other things. These chapters are disgusting throughout. Also, I don't understand why the writing for He He is so miserable. It's just a bit pampering and rude. Not a single bad thing was done. Dad was harmed by Guangyi and couldn't be saved. It would have been better to write him to die silently. It had to be miserable. As a reader, I didn't feel relieved.
Teacher, I'd like to ask if there will be a follow-up for Xia Danxing and Bian Xingyan. I really like them both [][]
I've finished reading it. It's very well written and the story is complete. I hope you can write more similar articles (﹡ˆoˆ﹡)
