破烂侯是一位王爷的后人。在与韩春明谈到茶罢楼时，谈起了破烂侯的身世。当年有四个好朋友，都是税官，手里分别珍藏一个珐琅彩小婉，喝酒用的，名字叫“茶飘香、酒罢去、聚朋友、再回楼”。
后来除了关大爷手里的“聚朋友”小婉，其他都被抢了，抢走小婉的人，就是破烂侯的父亲，也就是王爷外妾的孙子，当然是王爷的孙子。所以说破烂侯是王爷的后人。
Tattered Hou is the descendant of a prince. When talking about the tea strike building with Han Chunming, he talked about the life of dilapidated Hou. At that time, there were four good friends, all tax officials, and they kept an enameled little wan in their hands. They used it to drink, and their names were "tea fragrance, wine leaving, gathering friends, and returning to the building again."
Later, in addition to the "gather friends" Xiaowan in Uncle Guan's hand, all the others were robbed. The person who robbed Xiaowan was the father of the tattered Hou, that is, the grandson of the foreign concubine of the prince, of course, the grandson of the prince. So the tattered marquis is the descendant of the prince.
