Bai Nianlang was ingratiated with Huang Jinyi and became the deputy magistrate of Suzhou Prefecture. He was not satisfied and even dreamed:"One day, it would be great to have Wu Shamao succeed Huang Jinyi as the prefect." Bai Nianlang patted his horse and beard. , has developed this nature. An idea struck him, and he wanted to give his"Scenery Tower" to Huang Zhizhou. He did this, setting up a feast in the unique Jinlou, and presented the Huahualou to Huang Zhizhou in person, which won Huang Jinyi's heart. From then on, the"Fengguanglou" became the place where Huangzhifu drank wine and played with women. 's holy place. Bai Nianlang was secretly happy.

Bai Nianlang flattered Jin Yiyi, the magistrate of the state, and took many arks with him to Lin'an (Hangzhou) Kyoto, bringing generous gifts and property to give gifts to his superiors in the capital, and then he became the magistrate of Wuxi. He is even more cheerful, arrogant, living happily, eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling. That day, I lost three hundred taels of silver in gambling and was so angry that I fell asleep. In his dream, he suddenly saw the water lotus coming. He woke up suddenly and thought:"I want to get a wife in this county... What if my wife, water lotus, comes to my door?" Bai Nianlang left Jinzhai. He stood up from the wine table, raised a pot of wine, and drank heavily. He shook his head and said:"If she comes to the door, I can be the second wife... Wow, it's been eighteen years since we last met, and life or death is uncertain... Some people say that she rushed into the East China Sea, and some people say that they have seen her... She has changed She has become a yellow-faced woman... Alas, if people do not take care of themselves, the world will be destroyed! Life is short, and she lives like this, and her face is as haggard as tree bark... Can she be worthy of my official position? She will lose my official position. Face...But she is a married woman...and she is pregnant...I don’t know whether the child is a son or a daughter. In any case, I am already the county magistrate, and I should inform the world to find her."

As the saying goes: Is it a blessing or not? Disaster, disaster cannot be avoided. Bai Nianlang ordered the government officials to post notices looking for water lotuses in all directions. Two months have passed and there has been no news. It is already the harsh winter of the twelfth lunar month, with heavy snowfall and thousands of miles of ice. Huang Jinyi, the prefect of Suzhou, sent a note asking Magistrate Bai to go to Hangzhou to enjoy the beautiful scenery. How dare Bai Nianlang refuse to agree? He took a car and a group of more than 20 people hurried to Suzhou to meet the prefect Huang Jinyi. When passing by Yang'erzhuang, Bai Nianlang opened the curtain of his sedan chair and spit, and suddenly saw a woman collecting firewood and passed out in the snow. The servant reported:"Master, a woman fell down from freezing. Should you save her or leave her alone?" Bai Nianlang said:"The county magistrate is the father and mother of the people. If the people are frozen, of course they must be saved. How can we just watch the poor people die!""Several servants said:"Yes!" Then they threw the thick snow on the woman's body and removed the snow from her hair. Only then did she reveal her face. It was none other than Shui Lian.

Bai Nianlang glanced at him from the sedan chair and said to himself:"Hey, it's that old woman by the lake again... I've met her many times, and I gave her food a few times. I think I can live up to a poor woman. With my conscience, , Bai Nianlang, I haven't rolled my eyes at the beggar yet... But... Alas, those gangsters actually called me Bai Yanlang! Ren Dadao and Zhu Ziqing called me"White Eyes Wolf" to my face, which is so rude and nonsense! The servant raised his hand and reported:"Sir, the old woman Hua Zi has been rescued. How should we deal with it?" Bai Nianlang waved his hand and said,"We have wasted time and Master Zhizhou is going to blame you. Can you afford it? Throw some away." Give her the dry food. Get up the sedan quickly! Let’s go quickly!" The servants cupped their hands and said,"Yes." Then they went to get some dry food for the Huazi woman, then quickly got up the sedan and ran to Gusu.

Shui Lian searched for Yu'er in the heavy snow, and was rescued after she froze. Unexpectedly, it was Bai Nianlang who saved her, let alone her husband... who is now the prince of Wuxi County. Bai Nianlang was not satisfied when he became the county magistrate. He even wanted to seek the position of magistrate of Suzhou. For this reason, Bai Nianlang plundered the people's money in Wuxi and accumulated tens of thousands of taels of silver to bribe hundreds of millions of gold, which allowed magistrate Huang, who spent a lot of money, to live a life of debauchery and debauchery. Magistrate Huang trusted Bai Nianlang even more. He indulged in drinking and singing every night. He even submitted some memorials to Wuxi County Magistrate Bai Nianlang for review and approval, and made a promise to Bai Nianlang to succeed the magistrate of Suzhou.

The water lotus is looking for Yu'er in the heavy snow, shouting constantly, it's so miserable. She was freezing in the snow, beating the dog with a cane, and slipped on the snow and ice, causing her to scream in pain. He called Yu'er, but there was no reply, and he called out hoarsely:"Yu'er... my son... my son, where are you... I'll be willing to die if you let me see you."……"

Mr. Shui missed Yu'er so much that he was overcome with emotion. He saw a dark pine tree and thought it was Yu'er. He shouted in surprise:"Yu'er - Yu'er!" When he came closer and hugged it, it turned out to be a pine tree. Then he complained to the pine tree and said miserably:"Oh, it turns out to be a tree. It would be great if it rained... How many years have you not seen the rain? It's the third winter... It's been three years." God, please keep my son safe. Can our family be reunited? As long as Yu'er lives well, I can die in peace. And if I die, what will happen to Yu'er? Yu'er's father will never be seen again. I can’t see you anymore... The family is ruined and everything is ruined... Our family has such a hard life. I might as well die... I can be relieved once and for all... No, no, no! My old lady can't just die. If I die, Yu'er will There is no one to take care of him...Besides, he doesn’t know who his father is...I will try my best to find my son...My son...Yu'er, where are you?"
