After leaving Qiu Defu's mansion, Chen Guanlou went directly to Du Fuzi for a drink and decided to give up his decision to stay in the brothel for half a month. Master Du felt it was too hot, so he sat in the courtyard drinking tea with his clothes open, holding a cattail leaf fan. Seeing him coming, he shouted for the next game and asked the old servant to put it on the chessboard. In the summer, only playing chess can make people ignore the hot weather. "Have some more ice-cold mung bean soup." "Very good." Master Du told the old servant to hurry up and prepare. "Tianlao has been very busy recently?" The two chatted while playing chess. "It's not too busy. The busy people are all the people below." After being promoted, Chen Guanlou is much freer than before. If there is anything, just tell the people below to do it. There is no need for him to do it himself or to interfere with everything. That's why Mr. Xiao Fan can fish all year round, and Lei Yucheng doesn't need to check in at Tianlao every day. Everyone is a wild person. As long as they are not caught by the higher-ups, they will naturally be lazy.
After going through four prison chiefs and having in-depth interactions with three of them, only Fan Jiucheng was the most conscious and capable of being an official. No matter what I have to do, I will basically go to the Tianlao to check in every day. Even if I want to read, I am happy to read in the office room. Obviously different from Niu Yucheng and Lei Yucheng. There is indeed a big difference between reading and not reading. The so-called reading here refers to obtaining fame and fame. Fan Yucheng has a strong desire to climb up the ladder. Being a Yucheng is not just for making money. Of course, making money is still the top priority. Niu Yucheng and Lei Yucheng are just trying to make money. Only with money can you get promoted and make a fortune. One is to make money for promotion and fortune. Others just make money for the sake of making money, and when they have money, they will consider getting promoted and making a fortune. There is an essential difference between the two. "Since you are not busy, then read more books. If you are interested, you can get a degree. You are still so young anyway." Chen Guanlou laughed. Master Du is still the same as before, never forgetting to study and obtain fame. The road to fame and wealth! "I don't read to gain fame, I just want to learn more." Otherwise, the next time you encounter a technique similar to "Ascension Record" and you can't understand it, wouldn't it look like you are illiterate? "It's good if you want to learn something. You can take the exam and gain fame by the way. Just treat it as a glorious ancestor." "The Chen family is full of talents, and it is not my turn to honor the ancestors. Besides, the Chen family started by military merit, not by studying for fame. Master, please don't ruin the martial arts of the Chen family." Master Du was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, his beard trembling, "How can I ruin the feng shui of the Marquis Mansion? You kid, don't talk nonsense." Chen Guanlou chuckled, "So, that's pretty much it. Chen Jiazi, what will happen even if you get the Jinshi? Do you think the scholars will accept the Chen family, or the civil service group will accept the Chen family? There is a natural wall between the two parties. Don’t force it.” Du Fuzi was speechless for a while and then said: "I can't help you. However, with fame, there are always more opportunities." "There are a lot of opportunities for me to improve, but I don't care about them." He even hugged the grandmaster's lap. What's so rare about the so-called future? If I am admitted as a scholar, will any girl give me 20,000 taels of silver in cash? Is it a lie to hug the grandmaster?
He hugged Zhong Susu's lap, Zhong Susu hugged Cheng Lingzi's lap, and rounding off, did he hug the grandmaster's lap? Taking a step back, with the black jade pendant Wei Wubing gave him, it would be no problem for a fox to pretend to be a tiger. No one would dare to come to Wei Wubing to verify the truth. It's great to be rich and powerful. In your free time, read a book and drink tea, and two beautiful girls will wait on you, so you can win! "I want to see how stubborn you can be." Du Fuzi was furious and tried to play chess. Chen Guanlou chuckled, "I'll bring over some delicious food tomorrow, Master, to calm down." "I'm not angry, I'm just sad that a good seedling was wasted." "Thank you, Master, for thinking so highly of me. I think back then, when I was studying in the clan's private school, people called me Yumu." After saying that, Chen Guanlou smiled coquettishly, as if he was very proud of Yumu's life. Master Du couldn't understand it at all. One old and one young can reach an agreement on money. But in terms of outlook on life, it is obvious that there is an insurmountable gap. Seeing that Master Du was so angry, Chen Guanlou told him good news, "Business has come to my door. I am in a hurry to sell the calligraphy, painting and antiques in my hand. When we make an appointment tomorrow, you can inspect the goods for me." Du Fuzi immediately became interested, "The eldest master is not in the house, who are you going to turn to for this batch of goods?" "How about we go to Shopkeeper Li from Sitong?" But Master Du lowered his voice, "I'm afraid it's not safe." "How to say?" "You also know that Sitong has shares in His Royal Highness Prince Zhong. After King Zhong was deposed, Sitong became a fat man and was targeted. A few days ago, I heard from people in the Hou Mansion that it seemed that the Second Young Mistress was deliberately interfering. One kick. I’m afraid Shopkeeper Li can’t make the decision now.” Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows slightly, "Second Young Madam has such a big appetite, how dare she take food from King Zhong's mouth?" "Who allowed him to be abolished?" Du Fuzi lamented. Chen Guanlou sneered and said sarcastically: "I was just deposed, but my status as a prince was not taken away. I am still a prince. In terms of status, how can the Second Young Mistress have the confidence to take food from him? She can't be Since the great master is leading the army and has great power, he should use the tiger's skin as a banner. The old lady doesn't care about such a big matter, and the chief housekeeper doesn't care about it, nor does the great house care about it? " He was very surprised. Anyone with eyes can see that the old emperor feels guilty and has a compensatory mentality. In addition to power, he will compensate His Royal Highness the Prince of Loyalty in all aspects. Arresting officials of the Eastern Palace and putting them in jail is a way to hold tight the imperial power and cleanse the Eastern Palace. Compensating Prince of Loyalty in material terms and promoting some of the ministers who had previously wholeheartedly protected His Royal Highness the Prince of Loyalty are the old father's compensation to his eldest son. During this period, all the officials who were promoted did not belong to the Eastern Palace or were officials of the Eastern Palace. Although they supported the abolition of the crown prince, they did not pose a threat to the imperial power. It was just verbal support, and the old emperor could tolerate it. In this case, how could the second young lady and her gang have the confidence to snatch food from His Royal Highness the Prince of Loyalty's mouth. Believe it or not, when the news reaches the old emperor's ears, the old emperor will definitely kill the chicken to scare the monkey. Only he can bully his eldest son. If others bully him, it is a challenge to the imperial power and a provocation to him as a kind father! They all deserve to die! "I will definitely ask about it." Master Du twisted his beard, "Second Young Madam is a money-grubber. She will never give up the idea unless she suffers a little. The key is that someone is taking the lead in this matter." "Who? Who is taking the lead? How dare you bully Prince Zhong at this time? Do you really think Prince Zhong is a soft persimmon?" "Gao Family!" Master Du whispered. "Gao Family?"
"Yes, that Gao Family." Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows. No wonder. The Gao Family of Concubine Gao Shu is very powerful.
