Dong Kedi plays Yang Jikang and Xu plays Yang Guifei. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Jikang, assistant minister of the Ministry, wanted to retire to his hometown because he was dissatisfied with the autocratic power of the traitor Yan Song. On the occasion of his 60th birthday, his daughters and sons-in-law sent rich gifts to Beijing to celebrate his birthday. They competed to welcome their parents to celebrate their old age. Yang Sanchun, a poor third daughter, and Zou Yinglong, an ambitious third son-in-law, came to celebrate their birthdays, but they were given the cold shoulder. Second Sister Shuangtao bullied her and persuaded Mrs. Yang to drive the Sanchun couple out of yangfu.
Yang Jisheng, Yang Jikang's younger brother, failed to punish the traitor, so Yang Jikang was deprived of his post and property and expelled from Kyoto. In an instant, the family fled in a hurry and lost contact. Only your handmaid Cui Yun accompanies you with her loyalty. Unexpectedly, two women and two peaches saw the old man down and out and refused to support him. Chen Songnian, a classmate and in-laws, was afraid of Yan Song's arrogance and dared not accept it. In order to get rich, the eldest son-in-law actually recognized Yan Song as his adoptive father.
Yang Jikang, his wife and Cui Yun are on the street, on the verge of despair. They happened to meet three girls, Yang Sanchun, so they took their parents home and waited on them carefully.
The third son-in-law entered the court as an official and attempted to defeat the treacherous court official Yan Song and rehabilitate Yang. It coincided with Mrs. Yang's 60th birthday, and all her daughters and sons-in-law came to offer birthday greetings. Mr. and Mrs. Lao Yang drove away their eldest son-in-law by hook or by crook, but they were two women and two peaches for profit. Seeing that their parents had accepted Cui Yun who shared weal and woe as their adopted daughter, they left in shame, and their in-laws Chen Songnian also came to apologize. Zou Yinglong has a famous saying: "Praise me for being unhappy and scold me for not being angry."
Yangjiajing has experienced ups and downs, sharing weal and woe, and has a touching scene of enjoying family happiness in Shoutang.
