It is difficult for a person to hold himself to the same standards as he holds others to. For example, if you take half a day off to go to the real estate trading hall to apply for a housing permit, there will be a long queue and a crowded hall. At this time, there are people inside.
If you ask an acquaintance to help you jump in line, will you scold him for being unruly? Even if you are afraid that the staff will deliberately make things difficult for you and you dare not scold them openly, you will scold them in your stomach.
But now it's your turn. If you have an old classmate or older cousin here, will you ask him to help you go through the formalities first? If he is upright and refuses to help, will you scold him for not recognizing his relatives and being a prude?
, pretending to be thirteen, or even breaking off friendship from now on? How many people can understand and support it, and take the initiative to stand in line for two hours?
The same was true for Xia Xun. When he heard that Xie Yufei had used shady means to help Ximen Qing and Nan Feifei achieve good things, he felt very uncomfortable. But when it was his turn to face the difficult dilemma between him and Peng Ziqi, he
I had to shamelessly ask for help.
Xie Yufei finally got rid of her bad temper this time. Xia Xun invited her to a high-rise building and set a table with good wine and food. He respectfully offered three glasses of wine and humbly asked for advice. Xie Yufei then reminded her and told her something.
The idea comes.
Xia Xun was surprised when he heard this: "Is this really possible?"
Xie Yufei said: "What can't be done? Don't you men always say that you should rectify others first, rectify yourself first, and govern the country first? If you treat this family as a world, then the people who run the world cannot be too real. Fan Kuai said it well: 'Da
Don't be careful when doing things, and don't hesitate to give in when you are generous."
Xia Xun hesitated and said: "I'm just worried that if the Peng family finds out the truth after cheating on marriage like this, the trouble will be out of control..."
Xie Yufei sneered and said: "I, Xie Yufei, must do everything flawlessly and without leaks. The Peng family was fooled, so they had to be dumb and eat yellow lotus. They can't tell the story of their suffering, so what more trouble can they cause? You are a grown man.
, don’t want mother-in-law and mother, okay? Talking about cheating marriage, people in ancient times cheated marriage and it became an affair that lasted forever, why are you in so much trouble?"
Xia Xun wondered: "Has anyone done this before?"
Xie Yufei rolled her eyes at him and said: "You are still a scholar, but you don't want to read. Han Yu wrote an article called "The Epitaph of Wang Jun who tried to comment on Dali", have you read it?"
Xia Xun shook his head in surprise, and Xie Yufei said: "The man who asked Han Yu to write his epitaph is called Wang Shi. He used to be a white man with no fame. He fell in love with a girl named Hou, but the girl's father
Wang Shi had always insisted that his future son-in-law must be an official, so Wang Shi paid the matchmaker a large sum of money and asked her to introduce him to Mr. Hou as a Jinshi who had passed the Ming Jing examination.
The matchmaker took a fake certificate to match him. When they got married, the father-in-law knew that he had been tricked, but there was nothing he could do about it. Wang Shi's official status was fake, but the marriage certificate was not fake, and he could still marry his son-in-law.
Is it possible to throw him into prison? Although Wang Shi's methods were terrible, he and his wife were loving and harmonious throughout their lives. This became the most proud thing in his life. After his death, he asked to write it on his epitaph to show off to others.
There is another one, which is even more remarkable. That is Wen Qiao, the prime minister of the Jin Dynasty. After the death of Prime Minister Wen's wife, he wanted to renew his relationship and fell in love with a little cousin of his. The cousin also had feelings for him, but there was a huge age difference between them.
The prime minister was worried that his aunt would not agree, so he pretended to arrange a marriage for his cousin. He was the prime minister of a country, and with him coming forward, he naturally did not need the three matchmaking, six certificates, and literary betrothal gifts like ordinary people. As a result, on the day of marriage,
The sedan chair was carried directly to his house..."
Xia Xun was speechless when he heard this: "Is this happening? This...could it mean that men are not bad but women don't love them?"
"Men are not bad, but women are not loving?"
Xie Yufei tasted it and praised: "This is a good saying. It is said in the Book of Songs that he is a cunning boy and does not talk to me. Because he is a child, I cannot eat. He is a cunning boy and does not eat with me.
Come on. I can't rest because of my childishness. This cunning boy is what you mean. Men must have courage and ideas. Who would like something as stupid as a pig? How about you?
Are you willing to follow my advice?"
Xia Xun finally had a solution to the major issue in his heart. He felt relaxed and was in the mood to joke. He sighed deliberately and said, "I don't want to be a man as stupid as a pig, so I have no choice but to agree to it."
Xie Yufei said coquettishly: "Hey, are you getting an advantage and being good?"
Xia Xun couldn't help laughing and said: "If men are not bad, don't women love them?"

In the evening of the same day, Xia Xun returned to the inn and brought back a girl. This girl was very beautiful. She was really charming and charming. She was especially drunk and had pink cheeks. Her charming appearance was eye-catching.
It was as if hundreds of feathers were gently tickling him, making him extremely itchy.
When Mr. Huang Zhen saw her, his little brother who had been hibernating for many days was about to move. Mr. Huang was shocked when he remembered that the doctor said that if you don't have any lust within a year, your life will be in danger. After all, life is important.
He quickly looked at his nose with his eyes, and his mind with his nose, as if he were an old monk in meditation, fearing that this little girl with a sword at her waist would kill him, this foolish man.
It's a pity that the girl didn't stay in the hotel for long before she left. Mr. Huang had no chance to see it. Only a faint fragrance was left on his nose, which made him very distraught.
.
Early the next morning, Miss Xie checked into the most luxurious inn in Qingzhou: Haidai Tower. Xia Xun first went to Lianxin Nunnery to meet Master Jueqing. After half an hour, she rushed back to Qingzhou and led her group.
Everyone put up the guard of honor and left Qingzhou, returning to Jinan.
Seven or eight days later, a convoy came to Qingzhou and moved directly into Haidai Tower. This group of people was very impressive, with fancy cars and BMWs, and a lot of servants. Even the housekeeper and servants were all bossing around with great style, but their
The clothes and clothing are different from those of the people in the Central Plains. Some knowledgeable people said that they look like people from the Yunnan and Guizhou areas.
Although the urban foxes and rats in Qingzhou have now restrained themselves a lot under the strict orders of the Peng family, especially people in the government who avoid them whenever they can, it is natural to inquire about some strange people who suddenly appear in the local area. Soon,
They got the news from the clerk at Haidailou. The family's surname was Mu, who was from Dali, Yunnan.
It is said that this family was a hereditary chieftain in Yunnan during the Yuan Dynasty. Regardless of the Yuan Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, after they conquered the world, they mainly tried to appease such tribal leaders who were in high mountains and far away. Therefore, after the Ming Dynasty conquered the world, they
They became the chieftains of the Ming Dynasty again, no wonder they are so impressive. But why they came all the way to Qingzhou, no one knows.
The next day, the Mu family put on a grand show and marched out of Xicheng, heading straight for Pengjiazhuang.
The Peng family had already found out the reason why Xia Xun left Qingzhou, and were very happy for his departure. Suddenly they heard that a large group of people were rushing to Pengjiazhuang, and they couldn't help but feel extremely nervous. When the group of people arrived at Pengjiazhuang, the owner of Pengzhuang personally greeted them.
Outside the village, he took them into the village and asked about their purpose, only to find out that they came to propose marriage to the Peng family.
Master Peng said in surprise: "A marriage proposal? Uh... Mr. Mu, your family is far away in Yunnan, so far away from here. How could...how could you know about my Peng family and come to ask for a hand in marriage from my Peng family?"
The middle-aged man who wore a huge gold earring in his left ear, had his hair tied up in a skirt, and was dressed a little weirdly laughed, and said in a slightly stiff Chinese dialect: "Master Peng, I'll tell you the truth, my nephew.
Ermujiu once visited Peiping and met a daughter. They fell in love so deeply that they couldn't let go anymore. Haha, so after he returned to his hometown, he pestered our chieftain to propose to your Peng family.
My nephew is the youngest son of my uncle Mulatu, the chieftain, and he has always been the most favored by the chieftain. The chieftain could not stand his pestering, so he sent Mu Jiu and I to Qingzhou to bring you heavy gifts.
The Peng family is asking for marriage. Well, I heard from my nephew that the daughter has not been promised to anyone yet, right?"
Master Peng and his brother Peng Wanli looked at each other and were speechless for a long time...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"Zi Qi, do you recognize a person named Mu Jiu?"
As soon as Peng Ziqi saw his father come in, he turned his head angrily. Master Peng had gotten used to his daughter's attitude towards him these days and was not angry. He came in and asked straight to the point.
Peng Ziqi responded without looking back: "Mu Jiu? What Mu Jiu, I don't know him!"
Master Peng frowned and said, "Don't recognize him? Why did he say he recognized you? This man is from Yunnan..."
Peng Ziqi groaned and turned around and said: "I remembered it. I had seen him in Peiping. I heard he was the son of some kind of chieftain. He was well received by the officials in Peiping. He always had a lofty character.
This is very annoying, what's wrong? Why are you mentioning this person?"
Master Peng coughed and said, "Oh, it's nothing. I heard that you did a lot of messy things in Peiping. I once knew such a person, so I came to ask."
Peng Ziqi said angrily: "What heinous crime have I committed by knowing him? This has become a sin? Dad, when will you let me out?"
Master Peng snorted coldly and said: "Let you go out? When you give up on that man named Yang and stop doing anything that disgrace the family tradition, dad will let you go free."
Peng Ziqi jumped up and said: "Dad..."
Master Peng ignored him and walked away.
In the back house of the Peng family, Monk Peng listened to the report from Master Peng and said thoughtfully: "The Mu family in Yunnan? Well, I have heard that the Mu family is a big family in Yunnan and the local emperor there. When the Yuan Dynasty ruled the Central Plains,
They gathered a large number of people and made them chieftains. His family's surname was not Mu. After Zhu Yuanzhang came to power, in order to win over them, he removed his surname and gave it the surname Mu. They still dominate.
Your Majesty the Earth Emperor."
Master Peng said: "My grandson asked Zi Qi. She did meet this young chieftain in Peiping. When the Mu family master came to visit today, I also checked his official seal, and there was nothing wrong with it."
Question. So, there is no doubt about the identity of the Mu family. He proposed marriage to our family. Does the Grand Duke think... is it okay?"
