Qi Wenhai likes to play chess, and one of his chess friends is the son-in-law of Yong'an Bofu.

Civil officials and nobles are two circles, and if you want to know more information than the people on the streets and alleys, you have to inquire from the noble circle.

So when Qi Wenhai was playing chess with that son-in-law, he asked a few more questions.

Then he heard a piece of news that disgusted him very much.

Changping Hou Huo Zhanpeng has a cousin, surnamed Cheng, although Cousin Cheng is the niece of the old Changping Marquis, but the family is not good, Cheng's cousin's family often goes to Changping Hou's Mansion to play the autumn breeze.

The autumn wind was blowing, and my cousin and cousin were in one place.

The old lady of Changping Marquis resolutely disagreed with this family business.

First, not only are there too many differences between the two families, but the Cheng family's family style is not good, they are all relatives who know the roots, and the hostess of the Changping Hou Mansion must not be the daughter of this kind of family;

Second, after all, Cousin Cheng is the niece of the old lady, how can she let her niece be a concubine for her son, it is not shameful enough to spread it, if it is known by the imperial historians, it must be said that the Changping Marquis Mansion is inferior to livestock in the court.

Therefore, the old lady of Changping Hou found a family affair for Cheng's cousin, and gave a dowry, so that the Cheng family married her daughter far away.

But no one expected that Huo Zhanpeng would marry Feng first, and after only a month of marriage with Feng, he left his wife and ran to Bingzhou alone to find his little Qingmei.

Feng was furious, so he went back to his parents' house, and later the elder Pinghou went to Weihui in person, but he only brought back a piece of paper and a book.

The old Chang Pinghou returned to the capital, and Huo Zhanpeng also came back, he didn't come back alone, he also brought back Cousin Cheng.

When he was in Bingzhou and had a private meeting with Cousin Cheng, he was bumped into by the Zou family, and the Zou family took Cousin Cheng off with a letter of resignation.

At this moment, Huo Zhanpeng was happy, and he didn't care about reasoning with the Zou family, so he took Cousin Cheng back to the capital.

The elder Pinghou saw that the pretty little lady standing next to Huo Zhanpeng didn't come up in one breath, so he fainted.

The elder Pinghou lay on the kang for a few days, but finally failed to save him and died.

The old lady was angry, and even let people drive Cousin Cheng out of the house with a big stick, and let people tie up Huo Zhanpeng, so that he could honestly keep filial piety at home.

No one knew where Cousin Cheng went, but it didn't take long for the news that the county lord of Dingxiang was determined to marry Huo Zhanpeng.

In those days, the noble circle in the capital watched big dramas all day long, Huo Zhanpeng did not stop guarding filial piety, and his legends were everywhere in the capital.

Just after the filial piety period, the county lord of Dingxiang couldn't wait to marry into the Changping Marquis Mansion.

Then, another big drama began.

Cousin Cheng, who has been missing for three years, came to the door with the child, the child's surname is Zou, but she was abandoned by the Zou family, and the child was born after being divorced, and the Zou family must not recognize it.

However, Huo Zhanpeng, who has become the Marquis of Changping, asked Cousin Cheng to move in with the child after asking the child's name.

This child is Zou Muhan.

Regarding his name, the older generation in the Xungui circle still remembers that Huo Zhanpeng was born on the day of Xiao Han, and his milk name is Brother Han.

Not many people know this name, and after Huo Zhanpeng became enlightened, no one called him Brother Han anymore.

But as a childhood sweetheart, Cheng's cousin, that is ironclad know.

This child's name is Mu Han, which Han is Mu, but anyone who knows Huo Zhanpeng's name can guess it all.

And Zou Muhan's identity can still be said in the circle of scholars without being stained by mud, but in the circle of honors, it is a joke.

Qi Wenhai didn't know how big or small, and wrote all these things in the letter, and after reading the letter, Master Ming almost jumped up in anger.

In other words, what kind of cousin Cheng still lives in the mansion, a wife is not a wife, a concubine is not a concubine, a sister is not a sister, and what is Zou Muhan, what is it.

If Minghui marries in, how should I get along with them?

In addition, Qi Wenhai also mentioned Huo Yu.

Huo Yu's mother, Feng, was pregnant when she left the Huo family, but she didn't know it at the time, and when the elder Pinghou came to the door, she had just been diagnosed with Ximai.

Huo Yu's name was taken by the old Chang Pinghou, and after the death of the old Chang Pinghou, the old lady has been paying attention to the affairs of the Feng family.

Later, I learned that Feng gave birth to a baby boy, and the old lady sent someone over to take Huo Yu away, but Gao Ziying came forward to mediate, and Huo Yu was raised in Feng's family.

Huo Yu's life experience, the old lady knows, Huo Zhanpeng knows, and even the county lord of Dingxiang also knows.

Therefore, the two sons born to the county lord of Dingxiang have always been called "Erlang" and "Sanlang" in the mansion.

Huo Yu returned to the capital as early as the year before last, and he was still in Feiyuwei, but he did not live in the Changping Hou Mansion, he was not famous in the capital, and he was also very low-key, if it wasn't for Qi Wenhai to inquire about it, he didn't know that there was Huo Yu in the capital.

Also, there is an old flower butterfly Huo Zhanpeng in the Changping Hou Mansion, and there is a famous jade son Zou Muhan in Beijing, and Huo Yu, who grew up in the "countryside" since childhood, is too inconspicuous.

Master Ming hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to copy Qi Wenhai's letter and send it to Huizhenguan.

Minghui almost laughed out loud after reading the letter.

The last time she heard Wang Haiquan talk about a cousin in Changping Hou who had lived there since she was a child, she thought about her cousin's love and hate, but she didn't expect this matter to be even more exciting than she had ever thought.

Ouch, the people of the capital are happy, and they watch big dramas for free every day.

However, thinking that Huo Yu was going to come to discuss the marriage next month, Minghui couldn't laugh anymore.

The next day, Wang An came to Zaoshu Hutong, and after reading the letter, Miss Ming vomited blood and was sick in bed.

Master Ming was anxious when he heard this, he didn't expect his sister's temperament to be so big, but when he saw Wang An's eyes and bones, Master Ming instantly reacted that his little sister was pretending to be sick.

It's good to pretend to be sick, as long as the little sister is sick all the time, Huo Yu can't pull people up from the sickbed to worship and get married.

Minghui has been sick since that day, the small courtyard where she lives is filled with the fragrance of medicine, the fragrance of medicine has been wafting until the matchmaker from the capital came to Baoding, there is a mother-in-law who came with her to Huizhenguan, she wants to see Miss Ming, and the Kun Dao of Huizhenguan took her to the small courtyard where Miss Ming lives.

Before she could enter the door, the mother-in-law smelled the smell of herbs, and she sniffed, mixed with the smell of wormwood.

The courtyard door opened, and a maid poked her head out, hearing that she had come to visit Miss Ming, the maid nodded, but handed over a handkerchief.

Then he took out a handkerchief and tied it on his face, covering his mouth and nose, and the mother-in-law was puzzled, so she also learned from her and tied the veil on her face.

Entering the house, the thick curtain on the bed was lifted, and the mother-in-law was startled, the living dead on the bed with a face like yellow wax and a skinny body was Miss Ming?

"Miss Ming, what kind of disease is this, why is your face so yellow?" Coming out of the house, the mother-in-law asked in a low voice.

The maid wiped her tears, went back to the house and took a prescription out, the mother-in-law knew some medical science, and at a glance she knew that this was a disease of lack of righteousness and liver disease!

Thinking of Miss Ming's yellowed face, and then looking at the handkerchief on her and the maid's faces, as well as the smell of wormwood in the yard, what else does the mother-in-law not understand, Miss Ming's illness will be sick.

The mother-in-law said goodbye, returned to Baoding Mansion, met with the matchmaker, and quickly returned to the capital to resume his life.
