Jade Without Fragrance: Chapter 42 Fragrant
Chapter 42 Hanfang
Before meeting Miss Chen, Lin Hao decided to check on Zhao Jincai, the son of Ping Jiahou.
She didn't know much about the man who was her brother-in-law.
In the dark period of her previous life, she only saw Zhao Jin twice. Once was the day when the eldest sister left the cabinet, and once was when the eldest sister returned to the door three times.
After , she fled from Wen's residence until she returned to Beijing three years later and learned of the death of her eldest sister.
Lin Hao went to the front yard.
In front of the firewood house, an old man in his early forties was chopping firewood.
He is slightly fat, with a kind-hearted look, and occasionally picks up a short wood, and the whole action is laziness.
"Uncle Liu." Lin Hao shouted and walked over.
Uncle Liu put the axe on the ground and asked with a smile, "This place is dirty, why did the second girl come?"
Lin Hao pulled Ma Zha and sat down, resting his chin in his hand: "Come and see Liu Bo chopping wood."
Liu Bo smiled: "The two girls are optimistic."
A short wood was placed in front of him, the axe was turned in his hand, and the axe fell from the hand, and the short wood became a neat strip of wood.
Lin Hao stroked his palm: "Uncle Liu is so good!"
Liu Bo stared at the scattered wooden sticks and sighed in his heart.
Now he can only chop wood.
"Second girl, do you want to try?" Uncle Liu suddenly handed over the axe.
Lin laughed and said ok, took the axe over, followed Liu Bo's move, turned the axe, aimed at the short wood and chopped it down.
With a few crackles, the short wood was split into several pieces of even width.
Liu Bo nodded approvingly: "Second girl has not forgotten the skills taught by the old general."
"My grandfather taught it, of course I can't forget it." Lin Hao put down the axe and looked at Uncle Liu, "Uncle Liu, I want to ask you to do something."
Liu Bo smiled: "What's the matter?"
The second girl came to him, of course, it was impossible to just watch him chopping wood.
"I want to identify a woman."
Hearing this, Uncle Liu smiled: "Who do you want to investigate?"
Wen Rugui, is there something else going on with that dog thing?
Thinking of Wen Rugui, the general's mansion was full of hatred.
"I only know that the woman is called Hanfang, who is liked by the Prince of Pingjiahou."
"Who?" Liu Bo thought he had heard it wrong.
Isn’t it warm and welcoming?
"Pingjia Hou Shizi."
Liu Bo's eyes immediately became subtle: "Pingjia Hou Shizi... Sounds like a young man."
"Well, I just got engaged with the eldest girl of Huai'anbo House."
Liu Bo's eyes were even more wrong.
Betrothed with a girl from Wyamber House?
What does this have to do with Er girl?
"I'm friends with the eldest girl from Huai'anbo House. I heard that the Prince of Pingjia Hou likes a woman named Hanfang by chance. He was worried that his friend would suffer in the future, so I asked Liu Bo to check it out." Lin Hao explained.
Liu Bo looked slightly relaxed: "So it is."
It's not like the second girl got into a mess.
"Is this Hanfang a boudoir name, or a woman's surname 'Han'?"
Lin Hao shook his head: "Then I don't know, I just happened to know the name."
The day when the eldest sister returned to the door three times, she was full of smiles, and the corners of her brows and eyes were full of sweetness. Zhao Jin is courteous and courteous, and shows consideration for the eldest sister everywhere.
Her happiness for the eldest sister only lasted until the eldest sister and Zhao Jin were about to leave.
Big sister held her hand to say goodbye, Zhao Jincai waited with a smile, she suddenly heard a word in Zhao Jincai's heart: It's really annoying, Hanfang should be in a hurry.
She looked at him suddenly, and there was no sign of impatience from the smiling face.
At that moment, she felt cold all over her body, and directly grabbed her sister's hand.
She pulled her sister to keep her from leaving, but she couldn't say a word, so she burst into tears.
What did Mr. Chang say at that time?
Up to now, she still remembers the curvature of the corners of her mouth and the meaningful smile in her eyes.
"Ah Hao is really a little girl, I can't bear to give back the golden beans."
After listening to Chang's words, the eldest sister was worried that she would give the impression of being ignorant in front of outsiders, so she let go of her hand.
This release means goodbye.
Hate rushed into his heart, and was silently suppressed by Lin Hao.
Without high-ranking officials and great wealth, rich houses and beautiful clothes, Chang's family will not be better off with his father, and the prince of Pingjiahou, who killed his sister tragically, has not yet received retribution.
"Second girl, don't worry, I'll check it out for you." Seeing Lin Hao's gloomy expression, Uncle Liu readily agreed.
"Thank you Uncle Liu."
Liu Bo chuckled: "It's just that I can't guarantee what I can find."
Lin Hao waved his hand: "If Uncle Liu can't find out, I'll give up."
Uncle Liu was once a scout under his grandfather's command, and he returned to the General's Mansion after being injured. Lin Hao is a useless person, trying to find someone by a name in just a few days is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Asking for help from Uncle Liu may be fruitful.
Lin Hao made the right move. Just one day before the birthday banquet of the little county master Qi Qiong, Uncle Liu had news.
"Is the person the second lady wants to investigate is definitely called 'Hanfang'?" Uncle Liu looked a little strange.
Lin Hao affirmed: "Yes."
She can't remember wrong.
"Pingjia Hou Shizi knew a man named Hanfang, but this Hanfang... is not a woman."
Lin Hao's eyes widened a little, and he couldn't hide his surprise: "Not a woman?"
Uncle Liu nodded: "It's a man."
man……
This result made Lin Hao dizzy.
"Could it be—" After a while, Lin Hao regained his senses, "Pingjia Hou Shizi likes men?"
Liu Bo was silent.
He also thought that the situation he had found was not good, and he told the second girl. How did the second girl say such a thing without changing her face?
"Uncle Liu, is that so?"
Liu Bo nodded with difficulty: "It seems so."
Lin finally quit: "Uncle Liu, this is about my friend's life, so I can't say it seems like it."
Seeing that Lin Hao was not at all embarrassed, Uncle Liu spoke bluntly: "This person's surname is Miao, his name is Miao Hanfang, and he is the owner of a study. The Prince of Pingjia Hou often goes to that study. Yesterday, I saw with my own eyes that they behaved somewhat... close."
Speaking of this, Uncle Liu sighed deeply: "Second girl, if your friend gets married, life will be difficult."
Thinking back to when he was in the barracks, a swarm of flies flew in and the big men had to take a second look. Now these sons and brothers don't even care about big girls, but they don't care about men.
What the world is.
"It's not easy..." Lin Hao pursed his lips and his face was frosty.
No wonder Lianxiang said that after the miscarriage of the eldest sister, Zhao Jin has become increasingly indifferent to her, and it is no wonder that the husband will give his wife as a plaything to other men.
He never regarded the eldest sister as a wife, but an object to inherit the lineage of the Pingjiahou House.
The son is like this, the Pingjiahou couple is undoubtedly aware of it.
It's no wonder that in the past life, he asked to marry the eldest sister, and in this life, he wanted to marry Chen eldest girl, just because they had no mother to protect them. When the truth was discovered, they could only knock down their teeth and swallow their blood.
She couldn't imagine what life the eldest sister lived in Pingjiahou Mansion.
"Uncle Liu." Lin Hao shouted.
Liu Bo looked at her.
The girl's eyes were deep and her tone was calm: "I want to bring down the Prince of Jiahou, please help me."
