It was getting late, and the surroundings were quiet, leaving a trace of wine fragrance in the air. Zheng Bai sat alone at the desk with a faint smile on his face.

"I think I'm six out of thirty now, and I've finally been admitted to Jinshi. I think I was miserable in the first half of my life, and I was accompanied by the desk Boda alone. I didn't dare to slack off in the slightest for many years."

"People spread their wings like eagles, and their hearts have the ambition of green clouds. The emperor lives up to his heart. I can finally serve the country in the age of no confusion. It's a pity that my parents died young. If you see me now on the gold list, I don't know how to be happy."

"Father, mother, you may rest in peace. The child must be a good official, marry a good wife, benefit the people, and spread branches and leaves."

Zheng Bai's teacher was very happy and rented a courtyard for him in the capital so he could rest well. After the emperor issued an order, he could enter the dynasty and become an official. Zheng Bai was naturally very happy.

The next day, Zheng Bai woke up and went out to fetch water and take a bath. He found that the yard the teacher had rented for him was very large, and there were two rooms in it. He lived in the east room and the west room.

Zheng Bai was very disappointed. Three days later, the emperor's will came down, and Zheng Bai was appointed an attendant in the palace a month later. The woman also congratulated him.

Time passed day by day, and there were still a few days before he would enter the palace. On this day, Zheng Bai suddenly found white paper pasted on the door of the opposite door, and he heard someone crying at home. After asking, he found out that it was the woman's husband's death. Zheng Bai had no choice but to go over to comfort the woman, and the next day a funeral was held at the house opposite the door, and monks were invited to recite scriptures.

Later, the opposite family gradually began pawning and selling old clothes and jewelry, saying that the family's financial resources were cut off, and it was almost impossible to eat. Zheng Bai secretly inquired that the beautiful woman began to consider remarrying, and he couldn't help but be restless. After many commissions, Zheng Bai finally got what he wanted and married this beautiful woman into his family.

On the day of the gold list, when the wedding room was full of candles, he accounted for the second of the three greatest pleasures in life. Zheng Bai felt that he was a blessing from his previous life, and when everything was developing in a good direction in front of him, a month later, a person suddenly came to the house, claiming to be the woman's husband. It turned out that the news of his death was false.

This was awkward. Before he died, he had brought his beautiful wife into the room. Zheng Bai here felt guilty and did not dare to quibble, while the husband over there was so angry that he threatened to report to the official. The beautiful woman knelt on the ground and cried and begged her husband to forgive her.

After half a year, Zheng Bai went to the home of his friend, the head of the criminal department, and accidentally found that the beautiful woman was actually involved in a case and was being interrogated. Only then did he know that the woman who came back and claimed to be the woman's husband turned out to be the woman's lover. Because he owed a huge debt to gambling, he and his mistress put pigeons to cheat foreigners for money. Later, the woman's husband suddenly came home, and their scandal was exposed.

After a trial, they were all punished by law.
