Xu Fengchi, a young cousin whose family was in decline, came to join the Hou Mansion. There were two ways before him. One was to curry favor with the Buddha, the eldest son of the Hou Mansion, Ji Weizhi, and the other was to climb up to the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, Ji Junci.
The eldest son is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment of the current dynasty. He has a high and powerful position. There is a lot to be done with him, but it is a pity that he is thousands of miles away and it is difficult to get along with him.
The eldest lady is in charge of the Marquis family business, and she is extremely precious. Even though she is frail and sick, she is well-known and highly respected.
Comparing the two, Xu Fengchi decisively set his sights on his cousin Ji Junci. He created chance encounters when he had nothing to do, served tea when he was thirsty, and gave him clothes when the weather was cold. In the middle of winter, he lurked in the snow for three days and three nights to hunt down a white fox for Ji Junci to look good. When he was attacked by thieves, he risked his life to block Ji Junci's sword.
But he is such a fearless young master. He is only afraid of Ji Weizhi, the eldest son of the Hou family. He usually avoids him if he can. If he really can't avoid it and encounters him, he will walk on thin ice with fear. He will only call out "cousin" timidly and refuse to talk to the rest.
Everyone in the Hou family knew that this young cousin tried his best to please Ji Junci, but at the same time, he avoided Ji Weizhi.
At the spring banquet, Xu Fengchi mistakenly ate the medicinal porridge that others used to design Ji Junci. The medicinal effects took effect. His clothes were disheveled and his face was flushed. He could not hear clearly the word "cousin" in the soft voice.
"The bitter meat trick didn't work, so you used the beauty trick instead?" Ji Junci pinched his chin, his eyes were cold, completely unlike the sickly eldest lady of the Hou Mansion.
At that moment, Xu Fengchi suddenly understood: "Cousin... No, you are... Cousin."
Who would have thought that in the city of Shengjing and in the Marquis's residence, the cousin who was unable to restrain a chicken and the cousin who was extraordinary and decisive in killing were actually the same person.
Ji Junci pointed his sword pointedly: "Should I call you Xu Fengchi, the cousin of the Xu family? Or Fu Jianqing, the green-faced gentleman who escaped from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment?"
