After work, Chen Guanlou went to the wedding room and found the gift Zhong Susu had left for him, which was 20,000 taels of silver notes. Zhong Susu, like Zhong Yushi, is so unpretentious in giving gifts. It can only be said that the people in Liumen are not good at copying houses, or they have too little appetite. If it were the Jin Yiwei next door, he would dig three feet into the ground to plunder all the money hidden by the Zhong family. With the money, Chen Guanlou planned to live in a brothel for the next half month. As a result, as soon as I opened the courtyard door, I saw an uninvited guest. "Chen Guanlou, come with us, my master wants to see you." "I don't know any master!" "We'll get to know each other when we get there." The four people who came here had a very arrogant attitude, and their eyes were all on the top of their heads. Judging from his clothes, he must be a servant of a wealthy family. Judging from his words and actions, he looks like a servant from a nouveau riche family. There is a beautiful illusion that the sky is the boss, the earth is the second, and I am the third. Chen Guanlou originally wanted to persuade people with reason and let them know something.
However, before taking action, he had a thought in his mind, "Did your master come from the palace?" The four of them exchanged glances with each other, but did not deny it. "Don't keep my master waiting. If you offend my master, there will be no good consequences." "Okay! Lead the way." Chen Guanlou had a guess in his mind, so he took a carriage and drove around all the way, and quickly reached his destination. Prime location, only a quarter of an hour away from the palace. This further confirmed his suspicion. Despite Wei Wubing's guarantee, he had already been mentally prepared to face inquiries from the palace at any time. He was the only one who had nothing to do with what happened that night, but his life was spared. It seemed strange that the palace didn't talk to him. He was taken to the flower hall by his servants to wait, and tea and snacks were served to him. This wait lasted nearly an hour. He was not at all panicked. I happened to be hungry, so I relied on tea and snacks to fill my stomach. I was thinking about where to eat in the evening and whether I should invite someone to drink with me. It's all a mess of content, and I'm not worried about my situation at all. Wei Wubing was able to disobey the old emperor, so his status in the palace was quite extraordinary, and he was a transcendent existence. I believe no one dares to defy his words. Life is safe, but it is inevitable that someone will play some tricks secretly. It wasn't until the master of the house appeared that Chen Guanlou was convinced of his guess. Qiu Defu Qiu Eunuch! The most useful person around the old emperor. When Chen Guanlou saw the other party, he immediately stood up and saluted, "I have met Eunuch Qiu!" "Do you know our family?" Qiu Defu sat in the main seat, carrying the attitude of a superior. "Eunuch Qiu may have forgotten that the young one was responsible for escorting the rebel Wang Shuner at the execution ground two years ago." "Oh!" Qiu Defu seemed to remember. Wang Shun'er was just an insignificant thing among many things, and he didn't take it to heart. Unexpectedly, the two had already met at that time. "Our family asked you to come, do you know why?" Chen Guanlou nodded and shook his head, pretending to be innocent.
"Reporting to Eunuch Qiu, you don't know anything!" He must maintain his persona. Although several masters have seen through his hidden secrets, his cultivation level is not low. However, several masters did not promote him with great fanfare, nor did they single him out for display. Of course, he continued to maintain the personality of an ordinary jailer: greedy for money and lust, greedy for life and fear of death, insatiable and greedy. Qiu Defu smiled angrily, "Chen Guanlou, we have investigated your situation a little bit. Since we have invited you here, do you think it is useful to pretend to be stupid?" "But the little one really doesn't know anything and hasn't seen anything." Chen Guanlou was expressing his attitude. That night, he promised that Wei Wubing would not reveal a single word, and he certainly kept his word. Only the devil knows whether the words and deeds of today's meeting will reach Wei Wubing's ears. If he had an in-depth exchange with Qiu Defu, if Wei Wubing suspected that he was not keeping a secret and that he was unable to keep secrets, wouldn't it be counterproductive and put him in danger? Qiu Defu was obviously stunned for a moment, and then smiled clearly, "You are a sensible person. Since you don't know anything and haven't seen anything, do you know what to do?" "Work step by step, eat and die every day." Chen Guanlou said casually. Qiu Defu was obviously a little surprised. He looked up and down and smiled, "Our family didn't know before that the Chen family has such a weirdo like you! You gave up on your good future and decided to work as a jailer. A good and upright young man. , but you just want to eat and wait to die. Aren’t you afraid of being scorned and losing the face of your ancestors?” "I will burn a few more beautiful women and some more paper money for my ancestors. I think my ancestors will forgive me." Chen Guanlou said seriously. Hahaha…… Qiu Defu laughed so loudly that tears came out of his eyes. "Okay! Okay! Okay! It doesn't have the pedantic air of a scholar, which suits our family very well. Do you want to be a servant in the palace?" Chen Guanlou subconsciously covered the key parts. The next second he realized something was wrong, he let go and smiled awkwardly. Qiu Defu snorted coldly and was very dissatisfied, "Our family is not stupid, how can we let you be cut off and serve as a servant in the palace. Our family originally wanted to arrange for you to be a guard, but it seems that you are not happy." Chen Guanlou could only laugh awkwardly, unable to explain this matter. Anyone who hears Eunuch Qiu saying whether he wants to be a servant in the palace will think that he wants to be cut off and become a eunuch in the palace. I really can't blame him for this. As for joining the palace as a guard? He went crazy. He slacked off every day in the prison, and his life was relaxed and comfortable, which fully satisfied his requirements of high pay, little work and close to home. Only a mentally ill person would go to the palace to stand guard, standing for several hours. This is not the way to endure hardship and suffering. As for the so-called future, if he cared about his future, he would have had countless opportunities to jump out of the prison. Do these superiors have a hobby of being someone's godfather? When they meet, they say they want to promote him, and how the future is bright. But he is not Bu, and he does not have the hobby of worshipping godfathers. Bu: Are you polite? "If you don't like it, forget it." Qiu Defu said coldly, "Some things are remembered and rotten in my heart." "I understand!" Chen Guanlou promised hurriedly. "The palace has been very uneasy these days, do you understand?" Chen Guanlou nodded hesitantly, "I understand a little bit!" "So, you should understand the interests involved. Why did my family go to such great lengths to meet you? It's all for your life!"
"Thank you, Eunuch Qiu, for your kindness. I am so grateful for your kindness." Chen Guanlou looked very touched. If he could add tears, the effect would be even better. "Who made me kind-hearted!" Qiu Defu sighed. Chen Guanlou tried his best to flatter him, pouring out a basket of auspicious words without paying, making sure that this meeting would be a successful meeting, a harmonious meeting, and a great meeting.
