As early as when the ancestors and grandsons of the Zhao family left Shandong with King Guangping and arrived in Jiangnan, Uncle Mi, who served as the governor of Pingdu Prefecture in Shandong, began to be in trouble.

After the people sent by Zhao Wei spread the news everywhere, the officials in Shandong Province knew that he actually did not have a good relationship with his nephew Jiannanhou, and the nephew's family ignored him, so they had no scruples. Several families who had been tossed by him also joined forces to oppose him. And Fang Chongshan, the prefect of Jining, who had been hinted at beforehand, also used his connections to secretly fuel the trouble. It didn't take long for Uncle Mi to lose his official position because of various crimes such as corruption, dereliction of duty, and abuse of power.

If it weren't for the fact that the people who attacked him were worried that Jiannanhou was his nephew after all, even if they didn't pay attention to him, they wouldn't be happy to see their uncle go to prison, maybe Uncle Mi's fate would be even worse.

After losing their official position, in order to avoid prison, Uncle Mi's family went around, and with the embarrassment of others, the money they had made over the years was almost spent. In the end, Uncle Mi's life was saved, and he didn't have to go to prison, but the family could only leave in disgrace, carrying less property than when he first came to Pingdu Prefecture. But even so, Uncle Mi was not willing to go back to his hometown to farm and live, but took the family to the capital, thinking that Jiannanhou was his nephew, how could he not care about his uncle, even if he didn't care, he could stick to Jiannanhou's mansion. The Hou Mansion is so rich, even if he goes to fight the autumn breeze twice in three days, it is enough to eat and drink spicy food. In contrast, he hasn't returned to his hometown for many years, the clansmen have never been at odds with him, and Mi Xingzhi has written to scold him from afar, why should he go back to see the faces of the clansmen?

Mrs. Mi was naturally in favor of her son's decision. When their son was not yet an official, wasn't this how their mother and son lived by marrying into the stepdaughter Mi of Jiannanhou Mansion?

It's a pity that when they arrived in the capital. Jiannan Hou Zhao Wei is still in Jiangnan. Mi Duzhi went to Jiannan Hou Mansion, but the concierge of Hou Mansion refused to let his family into the mansion to live, and only agreed to accept his name post. Although I have heard that my little marquis still has an uncle alive, few of the errand workers in the concierge are old servants, most of them are newcomers added after Zhao Wei took the title, and no one recognizes Mi Duzhi. There is no master in the house, in case it is a wicked guest. How does it end? If it's a liar and takes advantage of the owner's absence to swindle, it's even more troublesome. Don't take that risk. It's good to promise to accept the name post, if it's really an uncle, when the Hou Ye's family comes, he will come to the door to ask for sin.

In fact, it is not that there are no old servants in the house who have seen the uncle of the Mi family. But that was more than a decade ago. It's one thing to recognize someone or not, and it's another thing to know that the ancestors of the Zhao family have a bad relationship with the Mi family. For more than ten years, no one from the Mi family has come to the door, even if it is the real uncle who came back, and the master's family is not there, why should they bother? This uncle of the Mi family was a scoundrel in the past, and if he was let into the house, it would be easy to invite God and send God.

Mido's original thought about going to Beijing. A family can live in the Hou Mansion and enjoy wealth, and the dream is so shattered. Even if he scolds in front of people's doors. If the owner is not at home, it will not work. There was no way, so he had to spend his own money, rented a small courtyard in the outer city and lived for a while, and then sent people to find out if the master of Jiannanhou Mansion had returned.

It's a pity that when Zhao Wei returned to Beijing, he immediately put himself into work, soaking in places like the Criminal Department and Dali Temple day and night, assisting in the trial of the embankment case, going out early and returning late every day, even if it was a day off, there was not much leisure. Mi Du came to the door several times, but he was empty, and the porter still said that the master was not at home, so he asked him to come back another day.

Mi Duzhi's heart was a fire, he didn't believe that his name had been in the gatehouse of Jiannanhou Mansion for two months, Zhao Wei didn't know? It's obvious that he is pretending to be confused, and he deliberately doesn't see his own uncle! Since the nephew is so uninteresting, don't blame his uncle for being ruthless and unsympathetic.

Mi Duzhi ran to a crowded place in the teahouse, deliberately said bad things about Zhao Wei, and heard that he knew the reputation of the library, so he specially ran to the gate of the library to complain. Unfortunately, it didn't work. Knowing that the reputation of the library and the Jiannan Hou Mansion is good, people don't like to take care of him. Say a few more words, people inquired about his origins, and knew that he was a man who lost his official position because of his sin, and they all looked down on him. Everyone has the great truth of loyalty, patriotism, and devotion to duty, who wants to be with him, a person who has no future?

Even if Mi Du sacrificed his identity as the uncle of Jiannan Hou, few people believed that Zhao Wei had done something wrong. On the contrary, because Mi Duzhi deliberately ruined Zhao Wei's reputation in front of people by hiding his head and showing his face, others felt that there was something wrong with his character, but they couldn't believe it. Zhao Wei hadn't shown his face yet, and everyone helped him accuse Mido. The latter had nowhere to complain about his suffering, and when he returned home, his family was terrified. It turned out that someone from Dali Temple had come to ask him about the "places that had been missed before" for his case, and he had to search for some "evidence" that he had "hidden". A few servants searched the yard that his family had rented, threw something on the ground, and went away again in a vicious manner. The Mi family was worried that his case was repeated, so they panicked and tried to persuade him to go back to his hometown to avoid it.

Mi Duzhi knew in his heart that Zhao Wei was now soaking in the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, if he was really willing to give him face, how could the servants of Dali Temple dare to come to the door? Could it be that Zhao Wei doesn't know anything about this? It seems that this nephew is really annoyed with him. He didn't dare to make another time, and he was unwilling to leave like this, so he honestly lived in the small courtyard, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense outside, nor did he dare to go to the door of the Nanhou Mansion again.

Of course, he didn't give up completely, thinking that one day he would find an opportunity to coax his nephew to be willing to help his uncle. In fact, he didn't ask for much, he just hoped that he could be an official again, and if he could be a fat shortage, it would be even better. Isn't Jiannanhou being reused by the emperor? This is just a matter of words for him, is this little favor not willing to help his uncle? As long as my uncle gets the office, he will definitely not bother him again......

Mi Duzhi had this thought, and waited and waited until summer and autumn came, and there was a tidal disaster in the south of the Yangtze River, and the ancestors and grandsons of Zhang and Zhao Xiu sailed back to the capital with the ship of King Guangping, and he had other thoughts. Both of them had dealt with Mi's mother-in-law, Zhang, and knew that she was soft-tempered and talkative. Even if Zhao Wei is hard-hearted enough, he refuses to help his uncle. The old in-laws cried in front of Zhang's family, could Zhang's still not help?

Mi Duzhi handed over the name card to Jiannanhou Mansion again, and schemingly voted the name card of his mother, Mrs. Mi, to another one. He didn't expect it. The concierge had already been instructed by Zhao Wei to detain all the names of the surname "Mi", even the surname Ge (the maiden surname of Mrs. Mi) and the surname Zou (the maiden name of Midu's wife), and reported it to Zhao Wei separately, and then decided whether to hand it to the inner courtyard. Zhang and Zhao Xiu didn't know that Mido's family had arrived in the capital, so how could they meet them?

Midu was so anxious at home every day that he was in a hurry, and he scolded people while he was in a hurry. I knew that Zhao Wei was so ruthless. He might as well go back to his hometown. Now that he has lived in the capital for nearly a year, the savings in his hands have been used up, and he can no longer fight the autumn breeze of Jiannanhou Mansion. His family has to drink the northwest wind! At this time, if you want to go back to your hometown, the travel fee is not enough, and after returning to your hometown, you can't sit back and eat empty.

Until word spreads. said that the daughter of the Mi family was about to marry into the Jiannanhou Mansion. This family business is a kiss, Li Guangdi is a matchmaker, Jiannan Hou is not snobbish, with his net worth, and he is willing to marry his mother's mother's brother Mi Xingzhi's daughter as a wife, which is really rare. One of the rice degrees was fried when I heard it, which green onion is counted as rice province? Regarding the blood kinship with Zhao Wei, the Marquis of Jiannan, where can Mi Province compare to his Mi Du's closeness?

If Zhao Wei really wants to marry a girl from her biological mother's family. That should also be his daughter Mi Yulian first!

When he thought about it, he was beautiful. If the daughter really became Mrs. Jiannanhou. Is he still worried that he has no official to do? This family business can't be robbed of Mi Shengzhi no matter what!

It was for this reason that Mi Duzhi handed over the name card to Mi Shengzhi's residence. Although he knew that he really wanted to discuss marriage, he should go to Zhao Wei, but unfortunately Zhao Wei didn't like him, and he didn't dare to provoke Zhao Wei, so he could only pinch the soft-looking rice first.

Although Mi Xingzhi was not happy to see him, the two were brothers in the same clan after all, and Mi Duzhi came to the door at this time, most of them came to congratulate him. Stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, Mi Shengzhi would not lose his courtesy, so he invited the person into the door.

Where did I think that when this Mi Duzhi entered the door, not only did he not smile at all, but he opened his mouth and scolded: "The second cousin is too despicable, right?" Can't your daughter get married? You want to rob my daughter?! ”

At that time, there were other guests in the small courtyard who came to congratulate, and Mi Xingzhi was not on guard, and they were all stunned when they heard him say such a thing. Mi Xingzhi quickly reacted and was furious: "What kind of nonsense is this? How did my daughter rob your daughter?! ”

Mi Duzhi said loudly: "My nephew wants to marry his mother's niece, so naturally it should be my daughter's turn first, how can it be your daughter who takes the lead?" You still say that it wasn't your daughter who robbed my daughter?! ”

Mi Xingzhi was so angry that his face turned white: "Nonsense! The Duchess of Jiannan County directly mentioned the relationship to our husband and wife, where is there anything else? If you open your mouth to slander others, is there any heavenly reason?! ”

Where is Midozhi willing to listen? Instead, he pulled his sleeve and said, "Let's go to the yamen to judge, your daughter robbed my daughter of my daughter's good relatives, and asked me if I have any heavenly reason?" ”

Mi Xingzhi was so angry that he trembled, but fortunately there was only one entry in this courtyard, and Mrs. Mi heard the movement behind her, so she hurriedly sent someone out to stop it, and called someone to call the concierge who was waiting in this courtyard.

The concierge was originally sent by the Jiannan Hou Mansion, and he was more confident than others, and he happened to be an old servant, so he knew some of the bad things about Mi's mother's stepmother and younger brother, so he immediately stopped Mi Xingzhi and mocked: "Uncle Mi is too much to put gold on his face." When did our Hou Ye say that he was going to marry his mother's niece and nephew? It turned out that our old lady took a fancy to the virtuousness of the girl from the second uncle's family, so she proposed marriage for the Hou Ye. Our future Mrs. Hou is from a family of eunuchs, virtuous and virtuous, which is a good match for our family. Uncle Mi's daughter, but I don't know what her identity is? doesn't take a picture of the basin, but dare to want to be Mrs. Hou? ”

Although Mi Province is only the prefect of Hangzhou, he is a four-grade official. The wife married by the eldest son of the emperor is only the daughter of a third-grade official, and Mi Yingzhi married into the Hou Mansion, which is not low.

But Mi Yulian's father has no rank at all, he is an idler who has lost his official position due to sin, how can she compare with Mi Yingzhi? Judging from his background alone, he is not worthy of Jiannanhou in any way.

Seeing that everyone present nodded in agreement, Mi Duzhi was impulsive, so he casually ripped off a jade pendant from his waist and raised it, blurted out: "My sister set a marriage for her two children before she died, and I even have a watch." Even if I am no longer an official now, this family affair is ironclad. If the Hou Mansion dislikes the poor and loves the rich and wants to change the hexagram, I will go to the official mansion to sue them! (To be continued......)
