"Qingyuan, Cheng Xu is right, you take this matter to heart for the time being, there is no foregone conclusion in the matter, didn't Cheng Xu say that he didn't find Ah Ran? That's the best news, after you go back, you pretend that you haven't heard anything, after the death of your little aunt, Ah Ran is the lifeblood of your master and mother-in-law, you can't reveal the news. ”

Li Mochang knew that his father's most important and filial piety was his father-in-law, their Li family came from a poor family, and his father lost his husband and mother since he was a child, and when his father-in-law went out to play, he saw that his qualifications were acceptable and brought him back to Handu, and he was sent to Qingyun College to study, which led to the status of Dali Siqing step by step, which his father had told him one by one.

"Thank you for your concern, and I think of my grandfather and grandmother at home, and Qingyuan has deep respect." Cheng Qingyuan knew that Li Mochang was worried about his grandfather and grandmother, and his cousin was understandable, and the worries shown by the others were their friendship.

Liu Haihua felt that Cheng Qingyuan was really a very affectionate person at this time, even if he was a scholar, he also had a sense of righteousness and pride, this person became his brother-in-law, he was impeccable, and he was worthy of his sister, maybe it was really as Cheng Qingyuan said, this is fate.

Liu Haihua looked at Cheng Qingyuan's eyebrows that had been frowning slightly since he knew about Guo Ran, and then remembered that the people who Wu Chengxu mentioned before were basically killed with a knife were all dressed as people in the rivers and lakes, and they were masters in all aspects, so it can only be said that those people were killers, and it was very likely that it was for Guo Ran's life, but Guo Ran is missing now, which has become a mystery and cannot be explained.

"Qingyuan, does Guo Ran have enemies?" Liu Haihua unconsciously got a little closer to Cheng Qingyuan, and also regarded him as his own person, he and Guo Ran had never been in contact, and they didn't know Guo Ran, Cheng Qingyuan was Guo Ran's cousin, and they grew up together, and now Guo Ran lives in Chengfu, and he should know Guo Ran the most among the people here.

Unable to Cheng Qingyuan to reply, Wu Chengxu immediately said: "Guo Ran can't have an enemy, although I don't have a deep relationship with him, but he is gentle and kind, how can he be hated by others, I think it should be impossible, do you think someone deliberately bought a murderer to kill Guo Ran?" But what about those who died? ”

Even if Wu Chengxu babbled so much, Liu Haihua never listened to what he said, and kept looking at Cheng Qingyuan intently, waiting for his answer, no matter who said it, it was not as accurate as what Cheng Qingyuan said.

"It seems that there really isn't, just like Brother Cheng Xu said, my cousin never gets along with people, and he doesn't go out much, except for his few friends of life and death, the rest are just faint intersections." Cheng Qingyuan thought about it for a long time and didn't have a clue, it was impossible for his cousin's elegant and gentle temperament to have enemies.

Liu Haihua didn't believe in such a result, he knew that Guo Ran must have enemies, and he did it, but those people were not Xiao Yang's opponents, I heard Leng Dui mention that there are so many capable people around Princess Xiao Yang, and the Dusk West in Leng Hekou is not a simple character, how can these Jianghu killers be the opponents of the royal family who specializes in taking people's lives in the dark, but I can't figure out that even if Princess Xiao Yang saves him, he won't be honest with each other for the time being.

"Really? Have you ever thought of anything that you hadn't thought of? Liu Haihua continued to ask, only the unexpected, there is really nothing, otherwise those killers went to hide and seek, and just met Guo Ran and wanted to rob, there is no need for such a coincidence in this world, and those people are not so unlucky.

Cheng Qingyuan lowered his head and continued to think for a while, it really made him think of a person, and only this person would hate his cousin to the bone, he immediately said angrily: "If you want to talk about enemies, there is really one, that is, the current Guo Rongtao's wife Jiang Cha, that woman, she has always looked at her cousin unpleasantly, and felt that Cousin Ran took the name of her son's eldest son, my cousin was expelled from the house by Guo Rongtao, and it was all her who fanned the flames behind her back, and my cousin has suffered all these years because of her." ”

When Guo Ran was expelled from the Guo family, he also told Cheng Qingyuan about the grievances between the Cheng family and the Guo family, including what Jiang Cha did as a woman, he believed that if someone didn't want Cousin Ran to live, there would only be Jiang Cha, a woman with a heart like a femme fatale.

"Ginger tea? The ginger tea you are talking about is the woman who seduced Guo Rongtao's pearl and the secret knot? I remember that more than ten years ago, there was a lot of uproar in Handu, and it was that ginger tea, right? "Wu Chengxu is a jack of all trades, no matter what you ask him, he knows everything, even if it was decades ago.

"Yes."

Cheng Qingyuan's heart was full of hatred, if there was no Jiang Cha, how could his aunt die depressed, and how could he leave his weak cousin Ran alone to be bullied by Jiang Cha and Jiang Cha's children, how could today's things happen, my grandfather was right, the people of the Guo family are all ungrateful snakes.

"Yes, it's that cheap woman, if this time Ran's cousin's matter really can't get out of her, my father will bite Jiang Cha to death even if he loses that black gauze hat." Li Mochang doesn't care about these false names, even if he is no longer the son of the Dali Siqing family, this group of friends will never abandon them, they are really good brothers, and they don't care if they are the sons of high-ranking officials and nobles.

Liu Haihua admired the righteousness in Li Mochang and Cheng Qingyuan's hearts, this is the reason why he is willing to become close friends with them, seeing that Li Mochang said that his father could not even have an official hat, and because of Guo Ran's matter, he asked the Guo family for justice, and felt that people's hearts were still warm, not all of them were cold.

"Lord Li's black gauze hat has to be worn on his head, after all, the autumn is getting stronger, and the cold winter is even more unbearable, and having a hat will not be so difficult." Liu Haihua knew that Guo Ran must be alive and well, but he didn't know where it was, but he was sure that Guo Ran was not in Princess Xiaoyang's hands, but all of this was Princess Xiaoyang's means, and she wanted to use this matter to make the water in Handu even more turbid, and by the way, it would be difficult for Jiang Cha to sleep.

Li Mochang didn't understand what Liu Haihua meant, for a while in autumn and winter, he didn't understand what he said, thinking when did this Haihua speak in circles like this?

"Brother Liu knows something, Qingyuan also asked Brother Liu to tell me, thank you!" Cheng Qingyuan listened to Liu Haihua's words, and his eyes lit up after a long time, does this have another meaning?

Liu Haihua was even more satisfied with him when he saw Cheng Qingyuan's reaction, this scholar is different, he can guess the deep meaning in one sentence, but Li Mochang and Cheng Qingyuan are also literati, why is the gap so big, this is not as startled as not knowing it, and then glanced at Li Mochang with disgust.

"I don't know anything, but I just overheard someone mention it, someone admires Guo Gongzi very much, I think that person will not let Guo Gongzi take risks, you can relax." Liu Haihua can't say where he heard it, after all, there are some relationships and some things that can only be known by himself, and the name of Princess Xiaoyang can't be mentioned by himself, some people have big mouths, and sometimes they can't help their own mouth.

Cheng Qingyuan pondered for a moment and suddenly became enlightened, didn't Liu Haihua's words just tell himself that Ran cousin was fine. Although he has never revealed the rest of the people or things, he is well-connected and always knows more than himself, and if he can tell himself this, he has already given himself face.

"Thank you, Brother Liu, for relieving your doubts, and when the time is right, Qingyuan will come to the door to thank you in person." Cheng Qingyuan got up and gave Liu Haihua a thank you salute to show his gratitude to him, even if his words were ambiguous, it was enough for him to analyze the meaning of reassuring himself and his family.

Liu Haihua accepted this gift, he already recognized Cheng Qingyuan, and he was also glad that he had a random mind today, not only for the second aunt, but also for himself to make a good friend, and to find a lover worthy of trust for Sister Yun.

He thinks that one is heavy on righteousness; A person who values family affection, a person who attaches so much importance to his relatives who have never met only verbally will not be wrong, he will definitely be able to attach importance to love and his wife in the near future, and become the reliance and safety harbor of Sister Yun, he believes that day will not be long.

"What are you talking about?" Li Mochang touched the back of his head and looked at Liu Haihua and Cheng Qingyuan with half-understood eyes, feeling that the two of them were dumb.

After hearing this, everyone laughed and said: "It's nothing, come and drink, this pear blossom drunk is not something that can be drunk at any time, if it weren't for Haihua's face today, we wouldn't be able to drink pear blossom drunk, Mo Chang, this wine is not much, do you want to drink it, otherwise there will be no yours." ”

"I want it, of course I want it, who said I won't drink it?" As soon as Li Mochang heard that the pear blossom was almost drunk, he immediately retracted his thoughts, what else does it matter, drink it first.

Li Mochang loves the taste of pear blossom drunkenness, on weekdays, he only occasionally goes up to the Chengcheng Tower, or is he hooked out of his addiction to alcohol, the family style of the Li Mansion is very strict, just like the Chengfu, men are not allowed to linger in the Qinglou, it can be said that it is the rules of the Chengfu that are copied, and many of the family rules in the family are the same as the Chengfu, every time he goes to the Chengcheng Tower, he is sneaky, for fear of being caught by his father and punishing himself to copy books.

Everyone drank and talked happily, only Luo Kun shrank alone beside Wu Chengxu and was sullen, as if he had something to do with his bath, he didn't say anything for a long time, with a faint sadness in his eyes, Liu Haihua has been observing Luo Kun quietly after discovering it, but he didn't find anything.

"Cousin Luo Kun, do you think it's not fun here? How about I ask the little guy to take you out for a night market? Although I don't know how old Luo Kun is, I know that he is only a teenager by looking at his immature face, and he is much more naïve compared to them.

Luo Kun's clear and bright eyes looked at Liu Haihua suspiciously, he didn't know why Brother Haihua asked himself like this, he liked it here, he didn't feel lonely, he just wanted to stay here quietly with these brothers, the interesting things they said were all things he hadn't seen or even heard, he didn't want to go to the night market that Brother Haihua said, although he also wanted to take a look, but it wasn't interesting to be with his brothers.

"Brother Haihua, I don't want to go to the night market, I just want to accompany my cousin here and listen to you, I think it's so interesting." Although Luo Kun was doted on by his grandmother in every way, he was not arrogant at all, and he also respected Liu Haihua quite much, he thought that his cousin's friend was also his brother, and he felt that they were not laughing at him, they were sincere to him, just like his cousin was good to him.

Liu Haihua was stunned by Luo Kun's sentence of Brother Haihua, from childhood to adulthood, except for Sister Yun, no one has ever called himself Brother Haihua, even his own little sister is only a fourth brother on the surface, never called such an affectionate title, and now he is called like this by a child who has just met, he feels that his heart suddenly softens, looking at Luo Kun also has an infinite sense of pity, judging from Luo Kun's expression and Wu Chengxu's doting on him, this child has his inner loneliness.

"Then you tell Brother Haihua, why are you so sad just now?" Liu Haihua was very curious about how such an innocent little Zhengtai could have sadness that did not belong to his age, and he was the most carefree when he was fourteen or fifteen years old like him.

As soon as Wu Chengxu heard that his cousin was unhappy again, he immediately turned around and frowned at Luo Kun and said, "If you don't want to go back to Ancheng Bofu, don't you just send a message back, who can you show such an unhappy look?" Is there anything forcing you to go back, and your grandmother will be happy in the house. ”

"But my grandmother will be unhappy, she said that I will go back today, cousin, I don't want to go back." It turned out that Luo Kun looked at Wu Chengxu and their smiling appearance and remembered that he was going home today, and it was impossible for him to come out to play with his cousin when he returned home, and his grandmother would definitely feel dangerous and disagree.

"Don't mention to me that old witch of your grandmother, she hates your mother so much, and how can she be really nice to you who looks so much like your aunt? It's not to raise you disabled, to pave the way for that slut's son, only you think she is really good to you, you used to be young, and everyone turned a blind eye, not wanting you to know the inside story, just didn't raise you to be a bad guy, I don't know the severity. Wu Chengxu was angry when he heard Luo Kun mention that his grandmother would be sad, and secretly scolded the old immortal thousands of times in his heart.

Wu Chengxu said such things in front of everyone, which also surprised everyone, the powerful people in the capital are blooming everywhere, and who knows the secrets of other people's families so well, everyone only knows that the old lady of Ancheng Bofu has endless love for this grandson, and who knows the real intention behind it?

"Chengxu, what do you mean by that? Isn't it rumored that the old lady of Anseong Bofu is the most kind and kind? Whether it is grandchildren and granddaughters, they are extremely loved? Could it be that the rumors are wrong again? "Zhang Zhen's family and Ancheng Bofu have a little bit of kinship that I don't know how many generations have passed, in this inextricably linked rare capital, in fact, this is not a serious kinship, but I can't stand Anchengbo's mansion to pull up.

Wu Chengxu saw that except for Zhang Zhen who asked his questions, the rest of the people also looked inquisitive and puzzled, thinking that they were all friends, and even if they said it, they would not spread anything.

"What do you mean? This is also a family ugly, all the people present are brothers, since it comes to this part, I have nothing to hide, didn't my aunt marry the eldest son of Ancheng Bofu? My aunt is a very favored sister at home, but after marrying into Anseongbofu, she suffered misfortune, after my aunt gave birth to two daughters in a row, the doctor said that my aunt can no longer have children, and the old lady of Anseongbofu has no good face for my aunt, but in half a year, he took it upon himself to get the concubine born to Anseong Bofu to Anseong Bofu as a flat wife, but just before the woman was pregnant, my aunt found out that she was happy again, and gave birth to my cousin, The woman and the old lady turned black when they found out that my aunt had given birth to a son, and then the woman also gave birth to a boy, and for some reason, the old lady brought my cousin from my aunt to her while he was still an infant and raised him, and now it seems that her mind is so vicious. "These things are all seen by Wu Chengxu with his own eyes, he is a few years older than Luo Kunxu, and this secret is naturally much clearer than him, and it is also clear and vivid.

All the people were dumbfounded, who would have thought that the rumored old lady with kind eyebrows would be so vicious, and it was not that there were no equal wives among the powerful people in the rare capital, but those were all wives who could not have children or spoil concubines to kill their wives, and some people also knew a little bit about the rumors of the year, but they didn't think about it deeply, they didn't expect Luo Kun's life experience and childhood to be so miserable, and they couldn't help but feel more distressed and loved him.

"Could it be that Luo Zhiyu just doesn't care? also let that woman give birth to a son, listening to your tone, it is not much younger than Luo Kun's cousin? "Zhang Zhen is most disgusted by the man who likes the new and hates the old, spoils the concubine and destroys his wife, because his father is such a person, he has never experienced his father's fatherly love since he was a child, and he often sees his mother hiding aside and crying secretly, so his mother did not fall into deep sadness, but also saw through the true face of the man in time.

Zhang Zhen was born in Anyang Bofu, and his mother is a royal daughter, his maternal ancestor is the only remaining uncle Wang in today's saint, his mother is the first emperor to seal the lord of Langhua County, his mother's means and heart Those women are not opponents, and his mother is ruthless, a man who has lost his heart, don't do it, a pair of sterilization pills down, no matter how Zhang tosses, it is just a lingering flower, even if he finds something wrong, there is no long-eyed doctor in the whole Han who dares to tell the truth, I'm afraid that even today's saints will clap their hands and applaud, who doesn't know that what is most cherished today is his power and face, the face of his own royal family, isn't what Zhang De is doing is slapping the face of the royal family? I don't take the people of the royal family into account at all.

No matter how the so-called father tossed, the mother never asked, even if the grandfather and grandmother knew that so many of his father's wives and concubines had never had a happy event, it was the mother who secretly did it, and they dared not speak out, so they could only secretly scold themselves for giving birth to a son who was not angry.

Everyone present grew up together, who doesn't know the little thing in someone's family, Wu Chengxu feels that compared with Luo Kun, Zhang Zhen is already lucky, Zhang Zhen's mother is not as weak as her aunt, and she also has the capital to rectify Zhang De, it is not surprising that Zhang Zhen would ask this, but he just remembered the number one person in his family.

"My uncle's mind only obeys his mother, which is also quite weak, and maybe he has the same mind as the old lady in his bones." Wu Chengxu has no natural good impression of him, my uncle, I don't know what my grandfather and grandmother fell in love with him at the beginning, and he is worthy of his aunt's commitment to marry.

Zhang Zhen knew what kind of goods he was when he thought about it, relying on the fact that he was born a man with three wives and four concubines, but he didn't know how much he hurt people's hearts, he didn't have a good impression of the so-called father in the house, and he didn't have a good impression of such a man.

"If a man is reliable, a sow will go up the tree." With a sympathetic expression, Zhang Zhen watched Luo Kun teach him the philosophy of life he experienced, telling him not to be delusional that his father could do something for him.

"Hahaha, you...... Zhang Zhen, it's interesting to say this, are you a man? Li Mochang listened to Zhang Zhen's words and was not displeased with this, but looked at Zhang Zhen laughing with a sneering face, and finally caught his joke, but he couldn't laugh happily.

The rest of the people saw that Li Mo was laughing without grace, and tried their best to hold back their laughter, but when they saw Zhang Zhen's bewildered face, they couldn't hold back anymore, and the whole private room burst into laughter.

"You...... You...... What are you laughing at, it's just that your heart is straightforward and fast, and you say it a little faster, but is there something wrong with what I said, don't think that you are making a promise now, and you will know when you marry your daughter-in-law, in the eyes of women, no matter how much you are trustworthy, as long as there is a little bit of disagreement with their minds, they are all scumbags who deceive. Zhang Zhen looked like he knew very well and was very inadequate, and proudly proclaimed his views to them.

Although Liu Haihua felt funny, he held back his laughter strongly, after all, this discussion was a serious matter, he had to consider Luo Kun's feelings, since Luo Kun called himself brother, then he had to treat him as his own brother.

"Okay, okay, although Ah Xuan's words are indecent, but the words are not rough, in the eyes of women, we are indeed like this, but Cheng Xu has to persuade your aunt well, don't be so weak anymore, even if she is not for herself, she has to think about it for Cousin Luo Kun, Cousin Luo Kun is the eldest grandson of Uncle Ancheng, this fact has been forgotten over time, Uncle Ancheng Mansion has already paved the way for another son, just now when you came in to introduce Cousin Luo Kun, I was a little stunned, Do you know why? Liu Haihua has a wide range of connections, he knows a lot more things than Wu Chengxu, but he doesn't like to mention it to other people, and now for Luo Kun's sake, he also wants to remind one or two.
