Hai Rui¡¯s father died when he was four years old, and he was raised by his mother Xie.
Ms. Xie is a strong, upright and kind-hearted woman. Hai Rui inherited her character and became the Hai Rui she is today.
But he was also burdened by his character and divorced two wives one after another
Qiongzhou is far away from the ends of the earth. Han and Li people live together there, and the character of Han women is somewhat influenced by the tough Li women. They are not as submissive and submissive as the women from the Central Plains. They cannot tolerate humiliation.
"The Hai family has been studying for generations and is a well-behaved family.
Although her husband died young, Ms. Xie refused to be ambiguous and still implemented the set of family rules that were so rigid that it made people breathless.
Hai Rui¡¯s first wife, Mrs. Xu, couldn¡¯t stand the rules of the Hai family and got on bad terms with her mother-in-law, Mrs. Xie, so she was divorced.
??Later, she married Pan. A month into the marriage, another war broke out between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and she was divorced again
It wasn¡¯t until the gentle and virtuous Ms. Wang came in, and Ms. Xie also did some self-reflection, that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got along harmoniously.
Wang also gave birth to two sons and three daughters to Hai Rui. The family traveled all over the world with Hai Rui, and although they lived in poverty, they were happy and harmonious.
It was not until the forty-fourth year of Jiajing that Hai Rui was promoted to head of the Household Department and was about to take up a post in the capital.
Xie is old and can't stand the cold in the north. Hai Rui had no choice but to let his family live in Xingguo temporarily, and he took Hai'an to the north to take up a post.
Then in the forty-fifth year of Jiajing, Hai Rui appeared in the "Public Security Book" that shocked the world, and ended up in jail. His two sons also died mysteriously one after another
The unbearable blow almost destroyed both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
??Especially Wang, who was severely mentally traumatized, her body was deteriorating, and she was completely unable to host the center feed.
Fortunately, Hai Rui is now a fourth-rank official, and his salary is more than three or four times what it was when he was a county magistrate Although for other fourth-rank officials, it may not be enough to hold a party, but it can already greatly improve the life of the Hai family. Improved.
Mrs. Wang then took the initiative to give Hai Rui a concubine, Mrs. Han, and asked Mrs. Han to take care of her family.
??~~
At this time, the concubine Han took Hai An's backpack, opened the oilcloth that protected the rain, took out Hai Rui's official robe and black gauze, and prepared to hang it on the robe rack.
"Hey, Rourou!"
¡°And there are balls!¡±
The two little girls were so excited when they saw what was under the basket.
¡°There¡¯s something delicious!¡± The daughters jumped around the basket, just like celebrating the New Year.
"Please be quiet, I don't miss you guys." Haizi Wang smiled palely, got up and wanted to help go to the kitchen to clean up.
"Don't move blindly." Ms. Xie spun the spinning wheel twice, and the cotton thread spun out quickly from her left hand. When she finished spinning a handful of cotton, she broke the thread and stopped spinning. "How many days have you been feeling well?"
Mrs. Han took the meat and eggs to the kitchen to start cooking.
After Mr. Xie and Mr. Wang had neatly put the cotton thread and cotton into the dustpan, Hai Rui and Hai An carried the three spinning wheels into the west room.
¡°In fact, with Master Hai¡¯s current income, the family no longer needs to weave their own cloth. But firstly, I am used to being diligent and thrifty, and secondly, this is the traditional craft of Hainan people and cannot be thrown away.
??Three times, Mr. Xie always felt that with his son's temper, he might be dismissed from office at any time, or even exiled to the army. As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. It is better to keep the original character all the time, so as to avoid gaps in time.
"Ruxian, the sun is out today, why do you have guests?" Ms. Xie found it very strange. Except for the occasional visit from relatives, she didn't remember having any guests at home.
"Mom, I met someone when I was in Beijing" Hai Rui wiped his hands with linen cloth. He was about to say 'friend', but the boy with 'I am rich' written all over his body appeared in front of his eyes. He couldn't help but frown slightly, and then He changed his words and said: "The person who helped his son."
¡°That¡¯s because I want to invite people to come and sit at home, and I want to repay my kindness.¡± Ms. Xie started to ramble. She has lost the fierceness she had when she was young and is just an ordinary old person.
The mother and son were talking when they heard a knock on the door in front of them.
Haian quickly opened the umbrella and opened the door, and saw Zhao Hao and his son holding an umbrella in one hand and holding a gift in the other, standing there with smiles on their faces.
"Grandpa, do you still recognize me?" Zhao Hao specially changed into a simple Songjiang snow-green cloth trousers today, and took off all the jade pendants and hairpins on his body.
"Hahaha, I have been a housekeeper before, how could I forget Mr. Zhao and Mr. Zhao?" Hai'an was also very happy, and hurriedly took the gift and let them into the courtyard.
" Mr. Zhao, who just had class yesterday, heard that Hai'an was a minister, can¡¯t help but stand in awe. Do you want to try digging it out?
Hai Rui also walked out of the hall, stood on the corridor, cupped his hands towards Zhao Shouzheng and said, "Congratulations to Zhao Xiaolian for winning the number one prize!"
"Ashamed." Zhao Shouzheng also hurriedly saluted Hai Rui.
Hai Rui nodded, looked at Zhao Hao and said, "I told you to stay away from me, why are you coming here again?"
"Do you think I am willing?" Zhao Hao smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't this why dad has been assigned?"
"You brought it all on yourself." Hai Rui sneered. He was the most well-informed person in the General Affairs Department of Nanjing. "I've reminded you a long time ago that it's best not to tell outsiders about those fallacies. But it's a good thing you actually took it to Lingji Palace to talk about it!"
"Ruxian, why are you talking to your benefactor?" However, from the hall behind him, Mr. Xie's low voice could be heard.
Zhao Hao couldn't help but feel happy, and asked Hai Rui with his eyes, how did I become your benefactor?
"Let's meet my mother." Hai Rui gave a helpless smile, but did not explain. He couldn't explain it to an old lady in her eighties.
The father and son then entered the main room and kowtowed to the old lady together.
Zhao Hao was born with red lips and white teeth, a powdered face, and a sweet mouth. He called Mr. Xie "grandma" in every mouthful, and he held his hand and refused to let go.
Seeing this scene, Wang's eyes suddenly turned red and she looked away.
Hai Rui knew that she missed her son again. If Zhongdi was still alive, he would be almost as old as Zhao Hao
He gently shook his wife's hand to give her some comfort.
Ms. Wang also quickly wiped her tears, fearing to make her guests laugh.
Zhao Hao greeted Mrs. Wang again, and when he saw her sick face, he suddenly remembered something. I couldn't help but feel depressed, silently thinking about how I could help?
At this time, Hai Rui's two daughters poked their heads out from behind their mother and looked at Mr. Zhao Hao with smiles. The younger one was drooling
Seeing this, Zhao Shouzheng took out a handful of candies from the gifts he brought and handed them to the two children with a smile.
Zhao Hao felt nervous again. He suddenly thought of the legend in later generations about Hai Rui's daughter starving to death. It was said that because her five-year-old daughter was too hungry, she took a piece of cake from the man. As a result, Hai Rui scolded her. , after her daughter realized her mistake, she went on a hunger strike and committed suicide
He couldn't help but wanted to persuade his father to stop, but when he saw the eyes of Hai Rui's two daughters looking at the candy, they looked like greedy little brats.
He couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity in his heart - you are so numb, such a young child knows nothing, and he is on a hunger strike! It is true that she would cry to death if she was not allowed to eat sweets
Looking at Hai Rui again, he looked like an ordinary father, with a hint of pampering and a little helplessness, and nodded with a wry smile.
"Thank you uncle, don't eat it all at once!"
The two children cheered when they heard this, first took the candy into their arms, and then sweetly thanked Mr. Zhao.
??Nima, didn¡¯t you mean a severe reprimand?
Which bastard started this rumor? What's your intention? !
