The Firewood Collector: A Chinese Yuan Play (Scholar and Beauty Series Book 1)

The play started from a snow day. The snow was so heavy that Scholar Zhu was not able to collect firewood. When his wife Jade Fairy saw him back with an empty load, she gave him a blow on the face. After horrible quarreling, a divorce agreement was issued by the scholar. Since the house belonged to Jade Fairyâ€™s father, Scholar Zhu was kicked out to street. His only choice was to go to the capital to sit for the imperial examination. However, he was so poor that he even could not have enough to eat, how could he travel a thousand miles to the capital? His sworn brother Wang Andao, a poor fisherman, sent him twenty ounces of silver and a set of new dress to support his travel.
Since Scholar Zhu was talented and lucky to get a recommendation from Minister Yan, he easily passed the imperial examination and was appointed the magistrate of his hometown county. When he came back with glory, his ex-wife requested resuming the marriage but was rejected. At this critical point, the fisherman recovered a secret that the silver and the dress, which were indispensable for Scholar Zhuâ€™s travel, belonged to Jade Fairyâ€™s father. And the divorce requested by Jade Fairy was also plotted by the old man just in order to inspire Scholar Zhu to forge ahead. Till now Scholar Zhu realized that his father-in-law and Jade Fairy were of goodwill. The marriage between the scholar and the beauty was resumed.
