In the tenth year of Qianlong, there was an orphan girl named Liu Qing in Luancheng, Shandong Province. The girl was born with strong winds and thunderstorms, and her father regarded her as unknown. Then she saw that the girl had blue eyes and was suspected of being a monster, so she ruthlessly abandoned her. Then Liu Qing was adopted by scavengers, and after her surname, she was named Qing because of the color of her pupils. After a few years, she was displaced and suffered from hunger. Finally, at the age of 15, she was sold to a jinshi in the city surnamed Gao as a maid. At this point, her life was improved.

When Liu Qing was a maid in the Jinshi family, she had already become a big girl. Although her pupils had different colors, her face was beautiful, simple and delicate, and she was smart and good at recognizing people. She was deeply liked by the Jinshi family and soon became the maid of Jinshi's only daughter.

One day, Liu Qing accompanied the young lady on a trip, passing through a poor family. There was only one dilapidated cottage in the courtyard, one old millstone, and a scholar in the courtyard was in ragged clothes, leaning against the millstone to drink bran porridge. Liu Qing entered the house and asked for a bowl of water to drink. The young lady saw that the mouth of the bowl was incomplete and the water was turbid, but she disliked it in every way and left in a hurry. Returning home at night, Liu Qing tentatively asked the young lady how she felt about the scholar she met during the day. The young lady replied disdainfully, "A poor scholar, he has no long life, and it is expected that he must not be able to get a reputation, but he has no skills, so he ended up in such a field. What does it have to do with me?"

Liu Qing smiled slightly and said, "Miss, although this scholar is not satisfied now, I see that he has a wide hall of printing, his ears are higher than his eyebrows, his air is extraordinary, and he has a lot of charm. He must be Wolong in the wild, and sooner or later he will rise to prominence. And I see that his elderly parents in the house eat white rice, but he is wrapped in rice porridge, and he is also a loyal and filial person. Why don't you recruit him into the mansion and be a fast son-in-law?"

Hearing these words, the young lady laughed angrily, thinking that Liu Qing had taken the wrong medicine and was delirious. She did not argue with him and rested early.

Liu Qing saw that the young lady did not appreciate it, and found Jinshi to tell her the idea again. How could he expect Jinshi to be furious and severely reprimand Liu Qing: "Why is my Gao not a famous family, but I am also a scholar? I receive the favor of the emperor and receive a salary.

Liu Qing was originally well-intentioned, but she didn't expect to hit the wall one after another, but she was helpless and had to sob secretly in the room, full of grievances and nowhere to tell.

Jinshi was also a man who lived up to his word, and soon betrothed Liu Qing to the scholar as his wife. After Liu Qing passed the door, he was filial to his in-laws and thoughtfully handled the housework. He also relied on his embroidery skills to earn some money to subsidize the family. For a time, the life of the scholar actually improved, and it was not as difficult as before. Whenever the scholar felt sorry for Liu Qing and wanted to help with trivial sundries, Liu Qing quickly refused, just told the scholar to concentrate on reading, and the rest did not need to be asked.

The emperor lived up to his heart. Later, the scholar first raised people in the township entrance examination, and then entered high school in the entrance examination. He was soon sent to the province as a manager. On the day he took office, Liu Qingte came to Gao Jin's family to thank him.

Although Liu Qing was sad in her heart, she still left a letter to the servant, telling the servant to hand the letter to the young lady. The content of the letter was not only to thank the Gao family for their kindness, but also to tell the young lady of the Gao family to find the husband and wife to rely on when she encounters hardships in the future.

After another ten years, the scholar had become a servant, and Liu Qing also gave birth to three sons for him. He was his wife, and after returning home, Liu Qing went to Gao Mansion again to thank him, but things were different. After inquiring from the neighbors, it was found that shortly after Liu Qing left, Gao Jinshi was also appointed to work in Hebei and the family was relocated, but then I heard that Gao Jinshi was fired and investigated for quick success, and the Gao family also declined. In addition to being imprisoned and enlisted in the army, she fled in all directions, and the miss of the Gao family was nowhere to be found.
