Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the main house of Haijia, a solitary lamp looks like a bean.

    Facing her son¡¯s surprised look, Hai Mu said calmly: ¡°If my mother is that kind of ignorant woman, can she raise a son like you?¡±

    "Mom," Hai Rui felt a rush of heat in his heart.  "My mother is certainly the most capable mother in the world."

    "Okay, there is no need to put a high hat on my mother." Hai Mu sighed and said: "When I let you leave Qiongshan, my mother told you that as a man, you should learn from our fellow villager Qiu Ge and do what you want.  A great undertaking and a good reputation in the world will be worthy of your time in this world!"

    Qiu Jun was the second assistant to the cabinet during the Hongzhi period and the highest-ranking official from Hainan.  He was awarded the title of "Famous Neo-Confucian Official" by Emperor Hongzhi, and was known as the leader of the Ming Dynasty civil servants.

    The ministers of the state and dynasty are unparalleled in their strict self-discipline, profound knowledge in Neo-Confucianism, and rich writings.  All scholars in Hainan grew up listening to his stories and regarded him as their idol.

    Hai Rui is no exception.

    "Yes, my mother's teachings, my son will not forget them every day." He said hurriedly and respectfully: "My son is stupid and does not have the talent of Wen Zhengong. He can only be diligent and self-disciplined, and he will not forget his life and the people every day."

    "What my mother told you back then remains unchanged." Hai Mu said sternly, "Go ahead, I don't believe that the Xu family killed a governor and dared to kill another one!"

    "Mom." Hearing this, Hai Rui knelt in front of his mother and said with tears in his eyes: "My son still said what he said back then. He will never disgrace the people of Qiongshan and never let his mother down!"

    "Okay." Haimu nodded happily and said: "Don't worry about your family, just let your hands and feet go. No matter how bad the result is, it will not be worse than the year before."

    "My son knows." Hai Rui kowtowed to his mother three times before helping her to lie back on the quilt.

    The sea mother waved her hand and said: "It's late at night, go to bed quickly."

    "Yes, Mom." Hai Rui went out and drank some soup and came back, stuffed it into the quilt, tucked the corner of Xiaoya's quilt, and then gently closed the door and went out.

    There is another woman to deal with.

    ??~~

    By the time he returned to the east room, Mrs. Wang had already prepared hot water for him, and she had obviously been listening to the noise.

    "I haven't slept yet." Hai Rui asked softly.

    Mrs. Wang nodded, silently helped her husband take off his robe, and handed him a hot face towel.

    Hai Rui took the face towel and washed his face, and Wang handed over the green salt and bristle toothbrush.

    Hai Rui brushed his teeth and asked vaguely, "Didn't Hai'an tell you not to wait for me?"

    "It's because I can't sleep." Wang held the foot-washing water beside the bed and motioned for Hai Rui to sit down.

    "I can do it myself." Hai Rui spit out the soft words in his mouth and wiped his mouth randomly with a cotton towel.

    Wang, who was rare, didn't listen to him. She took off Hai Rui's boots and squatted beside the bed to wash his feet.

    "Does mother agree with you to go?" Wang asked with her head lowered while washing his feet seriously.

    "Yeah." Hai Rui nodded and said, "How do you know?"

    "I see you are in a good mood." Wang said calmly: "If mother doesn't agree, you will make a big face as soon as you come back."

    "Am I so helpless?" Hai Rui couldn't help but laugh.

    "That's it" Mrs. Wang stopped talking and concentrated on washing his feet.  As she washed, her movements gradually slowed down, but her back began to tremble slightly.

    Hai Rui reached out and patted his wife's thin back gently, comforting her softly:

    "Don't cry. I don't think there's any chance of not having a single horoscope. Even if it happens, it won't be a bad thing. The governor's office is in Nanjing, and our family doesn't have to move. We can live our lives as we want.  You can still get a third-grade imperial edict."

    "I don't care." Wang suddenly raised her head, with tears rolling down her thin face and said, "I don't care about a first-class lady, and I don't want to wear gold and silver. Don't you know what I want?"

    "I know, you just want your family to live in peace and harmony." Hai Rui whispered.

    "How did you promise me when I was sick?" Wang asked sadly again.

    "I promise you that I will never act recklessly again. I will never do anything dangerous or say anything that offends anyone. I will be visible to you day and night." Hai Rui said helplessly: "Besides, aren't you in a good mood now?  Yet?"

    "I know that a man's words are reliable, a sow can climb a tree!" The steely straight man Haigangfeng succeeded in stepping on the thunder. Wang was so angry that she stood up suddenly, a little too hastily, and couldn't help but spin around.

    Hai Rui hugged her quickly.

    "Let me go." Wang struggled.

    "Don't let go!"?Ruifang's face, if Zhao Hao sees him like this, the glorious image of the Sea Fighter will be destroyed.

    "Let go!" Wang still froze.

    "Tui'er, I was wrong, I was really wrong" Hai Rui had no choice but to use his trump card and called out his wife's maiden name.  Wang Cui's body couldn't help but soften, and she weakly beat his shoulder and cried:

    "You know, how did I get here in the past few years? I have just come back to life, why are you trying to push me to death again?"

    "Where do you want to go?" Hai Rui patted his wife on the back and coaxed him: "I want to be a feudal official. If people hear it, they will think that I am going to the execution ground"

    Before he finished speaking, Wang Cui reached out and covered his mouth.  "Bah, don't talk nonsense."

    "Okay, don't say anything." Hai Rui took the opportunity to hold his wife's hand and comforted: "Don't scare yourself. Governor Yingtian has thousands of troops under his command, and there are hundreds of personal guards alone. He is also representing the imperial court when he goes out of town.  , don¡¯t worry about safety issues.¡±

    "Then what's going on with Lin Zhongcheng?"

    "Uh" Hai Rui said with a pause, "It was an accident and carelessness. But because of this, there is no need to worry about safety issues. Anyone who dares to touch another governor will be executed by the imperial court without hesitation.  Everyone knows this."

    "Does it have to be you? Can't someone else go?" Wang's attitude softened a little, but she still said: "There are so many officials in the Ming Dynasty, are you the only one capable?"

    "Of course it's not necessarily me, it's just Zhao Hao's wishful thinking." Hai Rui hurriedly tried to persuade him, saying I'm sorry, Xiao Zhao, please take the blame for me first.

    Then he sighed and said, "There is a saying that eating people is short of mouth and taking people is short of hands. You said that he saved my beloved wife. Can I refuse his request?"

    When he said this, Mrs. Wang felt like she had eaten honey. Her mouth was no longer so bitter and her heart was no longer so blocked.  It feels much better and more acceptable.

    She muttered angrily: "Master Zhao, do you have to catch a sheep to remove its wool?"

    "That's because other sheep don't have the wool he wants." Hai Rui said calmly: "He knows that Jiangnan is an endgame, and I am the only one who can move forward unswervingly."

    "Why can't others?" Wang came back again.

    Seeing that it was impossible to give a clear answer, Hai Rui gently put his arm around his wife's shoulders and said in a deep voice:

    "The people respect me and love me, all the officials respect me and fear me, and Zhao Hao also looks at me with great respect. Have you ever thought about why?"
