"Where did you get this copybook?" After sending away the guests, the master chatted and asked about the origin of the copybook. Chen Guanlou did not hide anything and said bluntly: "I got it from Li Shaoqing of the Dali Temple." "It turned out to be Li Shaoqing." The master was obviously a little surprised, and his expression was a little serious, no longer as relaxed as before. Chen Guanlou asked carefully: "Is there a problem with the origin of the copybook?" The master waved his hand, "Of course there is no problem with the origin of the copybook. I am just very surprised that Li Shaoqing would be willing to give away this copybook. I have heard that he treasures it a lot. Has he not suffered any hardship recently?" "Don't worry, master. The Tianlao is not an imperial prison. Officials live in the Tianlao and have a good life. Except that they can't leave the prison, everything else is fine." The master's face was a little deep when he heard this. Chen Guanlou didn't understand. It seemed that it was not the copybook that had a problem, but Li Shaoqing. The officials were too complicated. He couldn't guess what was going on. Just sitting upright, waiting for the master to speak.
The master was silent for a long time, and finally woke up. He found Chen Guanlou was still there, and he was in a trance for a moment. He first hummed, and then said: "I want this copybook, and I will give you 1,200 taels. Please take care of Li Shaoqing." Chen Guanlou knew that the master was a straightforward person, but he didn't expect him to be so straightforward. Before coming, he and Master Du estimated the price, and it could be sold for about 800 or 900 taels, which was already a sky-high price in the market, and it had to be sold by people who really liked the calligraphy of this famous calligrapher. Unexpectedly, the master opened his mouth and asked for 1,200 taels, which was several hundred taels higher than their estimate. Of course, no one would complain about too much money. He quickly agreed, "Don't worry, Master. I will take good care of Li Shaoqing and won't let him get into trouble." "Whether he gets into trouble or not is the court's business. As long as the court doesn't sentence him, he will be imprisoned in the prison. You should take good care of him. When he gets sentenced in the future, it will not be your business." The Master's tone was indifferent. He was distracted when he heard about Li Shaoqing before. His attitude changed, which inevitably attracted attention. "Master, you are right. I will follow your instructions." The Master immediately served tea and sent the guest away. Chen Guanlou stood up on his own initiative and was led by the housekeeper to the account office to get the money. The process of getting the money was very smooth. The account office received the Master's receipt and happily gave him a silver note of 1,200 taels. Chen Guanlou felt at ease after getting the money. When he left, he gave the housekeeper a small purse with five taels of silver in it. He was afraid that the other party would think it was too little, so he secretly observed the other party's expression. Seeing that the other party seemed to be satisfied, he left with peace of mind. He still left the mansion from the back door. After leaving the mansion, he went directly to Master Du's house. "The transaction went smoothly." Master Du was very happy to hear this. He took the money and told the old servant to buy meat and wine. He wanted to have a good drink with Chen Guanlou in the evening. "The master was very generous. I didn't even offer a price, but the master gave me 1,200 taels directly. I'm afraid no one in the capital can offer a higher price than the master."
Chen Guanlou was quite emotional. They all have the surname Chen and are all from the same ancestor, but their lives are very different. He was struggling for life, while the masters of the mansion just lay down. People can't be compared with each other. Once compared, the mentality is a little unstable, which affects his Taoism. Don't think about it, don't think about it. "The master is different from others. If you deal with the master a few more times, you will know that he is a very easy-to-talk person. The premise is that he has to like you. The master offered so readily, obviously, he is very satisfied with you personally." Master Du said so. Huh? Chen Guanlou was a little surprised, "I really didn't realize that the master was quite satisfied with me. After just a few words, the matter was settled." Du Fuzi laughed, "You were not familiar with the place when you first came, and the master said a few words to you, which was very good. If it was someone else who was not very pleasing to the eye, the master would probably not bother to say a word." "So, the master also judges people by appearance." "No, no. This is not simply judging people by appearance." Du Fuzi retorted, "The so-called pleasing to the eye is not just about good looks." "I understand, it's just a feeling." Commonly known as the first impression. It is difficult for ugly people to get a positive first impression. In the final analysis, it still depends on the face. Master Du was afraid that he was young and ignorant, so he added, "The master is very good at judging people, and he rarely makes mistakes. In short, you have caught the master's eye. If you encounter problems in the future, you will have more opportunities if you ask the master for help. This is a great thing. It is a great thing that other people in the Chen family can't even ask for. Come on, let's have a drink first." After making money, Master Du was so happy that he got drunk. Chen Guanlou supported him and put him on the bed. The old servant thanked him repeatedly. "This is nothing." Chen Guanlou waved his hand, indicating that the old servant should rest early, and he was going home too. On the way home, his mind was very clear. The wind blew on his cheeks, carrying the heat of autumn. He had never experienced the feeling of being drunk in his life, which was a bit regretful. But he staggered a little when he walked, and looked like he was drunk. When he met someone he knew on the road and greeted him, he was also vague, obviously drunk. After returning home and closing the door, his dazed eyes instantly became bright and clear, with no sign of being drunk. He was being followed! Just on the way back, he had at least three tails following him. Could it be Boss Qi's men? So awesome! He was found so quickly. Chen Guanlou frowned and thought deeply. Where did the traces leave that made Boss Qi's people track him down? After thinking about it, it was the underground world, and there might be traces left for people to track. He really couldn't think of anything else. Since the person had come to his door, no matter how he came, he just took this opportunity to find out Boss Qi's details. Without hesitation, he immediately changed his appearance, quietly left, and did a counter-tracking. He chose the weakest one among them.
The next half month would be spent in tracking and counter-tracking. He was waiting, he was waiting for the other party to come with people to kill him. But the other party had not made any other moves except tracking. Could it be that the other party had doubts about his identity? After all, he was a small jailer without martial arts. He had money but no power, and he didn't seem like someone who could do such earth-shaking things as unknown heroes. Chen Guanlou was able to keep his composure. The other party was currently just a bunch of minions, and it would be useless to kill or cripple them. He was waiting for the real person in charge to show up. When he came home from work that day, he found that people were moving in and out of the yard opposite. He asked Chunxiang's wife, "What happened to Chen Erge's family?" "You don't know yet, Chen Ergou cleaned up his house and rented it out. It is said that the person who rented the house is a woman. Xiaolou, you should be careful, don't mess with women who go out alone to rent a house." "Chunxiang's wife, don't talk nonsense. When have I ever messed with a woman who lives alone? I have a good character, okay." Slander! It was completely slander. Chunxiang's wife chuckled twice, obviously not believing it. Chen Guanlou always went to the brothel to be free and easy, and everyone on the street knew about it. Everyone talked about it, saying that he was bewitched by the brothel girls, and would rather spend money on the girls than marry and have children and start a family. Unfortunately, Chen Chengzong died too early, and no one disciplined Chen Guanlou. Chen Xiaolan got married again, so Chen Guanlou had no manners. He spent all the money he had, and didn't know how to save money to buy household items.
