In order to buy gifts, Chen Xiaolan has been running frequently to her parents' house recently. She brought Chen Guanlou the latest news about the Su family and the Tang family. "The Tang family took the initiative to find my mother-in-law and said that the matchmaking arrangement with you was cancelled. They have a new marriage partner. My mother-in-law is still unhappy, saying that her family dislikes her and has made a big fuss." Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows. Boss Tang was very efficient in his work. In just two days, the matter was resolved without involving the eldest sister Chen Xiaolan. He is indeed a smart person who knows his interests and is not like a brother and sister to Granny Su. Mrs. Su is a crazy woman, completely irrational, and the words "dislike the poor and love the rich" are almost engraved on her forehead. The difference between children born from the same mother is huge, even wider than the gap between humans and animals. Chen Xiaolan continued to chatter, "I heard that this marriage happened because the daughter of the second wife of the Tang family fell in love with you and clamored to marry you. I thought about it carefully. During the Chinese New Year, when you came to pay New Year's greetings, you called the Tang family The girl saw it and fell in love with you. Everything is good, but your face is even more attractive." Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows, "Didn't my face attract people before? As the eldest sister said, I have always been very attractive." He looked handsome and self-aware, but not greasy, with a kind of open and sincere look. Chen Xiaolan snorted, feeling disgusted at first, and then proud, "You didn't recruit people before. You used to be gloomy, a little timid, didn't like to deal with people, and always kept your head buried. In fact, the Tang family's The girl has met you before. She didn't like you before, but after a few years, she fell in love with you. It can be seen that your face is becoming more and more attractive. Just don’t get in front of these girls, so as not to cause harm to others. It’s really a crime to cause harm to others and not be responsible.” "Sister, I am wronged by your brother! I work at two o'clock every day, either in the prison, at home, or in a brothel. When did I get close to the girl? If I really have to, I will get close to the young daughter-in-law. "
"Be more serious. You are not allowed to get close to girls, and you are not allowed to get close to young wives. It's wrong for you to provoke other people's young wives." "This won't work, and that won't work either. How about I go to the widow's door?" "You are getting more and more enthusiastic as you talk, right? Don't think that I can't hit you when you grow up. If you dare to mess around, I will break your legs." Chen Xiaolan had a straight face, and there was a little worry in her heart , My brother won’t really fall in love with that widow, right? If you think about it carefully, in the past few years, the younger brother seems to have shown no interest in the older girl. Instead, he has been pestering her like a little widow. The more she thought about it, the more worried she became, "Xiaolou, tell me, do you really care about the little widow? A while ago, I heard someone say that you have fallen in love with Liu Wanshi, is it true? Otherwise, Manager Liu is dead , why do you run to Liu’s house so often?” "Sister, can you not listen to the wind and the rain. Do you believe me or outsiders?" "Of course I believe you." "Then I solemnly tell you that I don't have any intention towards Liu Wanshi. Don't worry." Chen Xiaolan:...... Don't worry...that's bullshit. She was dubious and confused, and asked, "Is it really boring? I've seen Mrs. Liu Wan before. Regardless of her age, her figure and eyebrows make her look attractive all the time." Chen Guanlou thought about it for a moment, yes, the eldest sister was right, Liu Wanshi was wearing filial piety, it seemed like she was trying to seduce people. He restrained himself with strong willpower, and he was worthy of being a master who walked among hundreds of flowers and never touched a leaf. Seeing his recollection, Chen Xiaolan screamed in her heart. She slapped him with her hands faster than her brain, "You still said you didn't care. Look at that look in your eyes. It's not good for you to care about someone. You have to care about the widow. When will you?" Are you worthy of your parents if you have a hobby of being a widow?" "Sister, you can't slander me. I'm innocent." "The words of innocence coming out of your mouth are tainted with bad luck. You have tightened your skin for me. If I knew you were messing around, even if I got married, I would break your legs on behalf of my parents." "My eldest sister, when have I ever done anything random? Don't think about it." "You go to a brothel every three days, not to act recklessly." "That's my normal preference and shouldn't be confused." Chen Xiaolan saw that her younger brother was stubborn and would beat him whenever he picked up the broom. Chen Guanlou ran out of the house decisively, got into the brothel and could not come out. I decided to stay in a brothel for a few days and wait until my eldest sister calmed down.
Really, he was accused of liking widows out of thin air and died unjustly. If he really slept with a widow, he would be able to bear the blame with peace of mind. The key is that he didn't sleep at all. Liu Wanshi's place...forget it, forget it. Focus on drinking flower wine. After a few days, Chen Xiaolan calmed down and the gifts were ready. She asked Chen Guanlou to deliver the gifts to the main room of the Hou Mansion. Chen Guanlou didn't want to give it away, and the reason was very legitimate. "The eldest young lady is living a small life, and all the women are there. It doesn't matter if I go to give gifts, it's not appropriate. Sister, you go for me, you are a female family member, and you just happen to be among the ladies and make friends with them. Don't be afraid of being looked down upon. Just tell me what you need, and I will arrange it for you. I know the people in the palace, and everything from jewelry to clothes to shoes and socks will be taken care of." "There is no need to cling to who I am. Just wear clothes that suit my status and wear jewelry that suits my status. Don't worry about me. Since you are not willing to come forward, okay, I will come forward for you. Go and congratulate the eldest mistress on her birthday.” Chen Xiaolan said she didn't want to cling or compare, but in fact she still cared about it in her heart. Chen Guanlou's way was to find Hu, the jailer of the female prisoner next door. Hu had a large number of palace maids under his command. He asked the palace maids to buy two sets of clothes and jewelry. As long as the money was in place, everything would be ready in a short time. When the day came, Chen Xiaolan wore the clothes and jewelry that Chen Guanlou bought for her and went to the Marquis' Mansion. As expected, she was praised by everyone. Having won face in the Marquis' Mansion, Chen Xiaolan was very proud. Chen Guanlou was also happy. His elder sister was in a good mood and didn't want to catch him to ask about the widow. He could finally hear nothing. An autumn rain brings a chill. The autumn wind was bleak. Overnight, it went from summer to winter. The trees on the roadside were all gone. People also took out the cotton clothes at the bottom of the box and wrapped them around themselves, starting a long winter. Chen Guanlou stood under the eaves outside the office, rinsed his mouth, and thought that today's dishes were a bit salty, just like a salt jar was overturned. The chef was obviously absent-minded when cooking. Could it be that something happened to the logistics team? He called Qian Fugui. Qian Fugui was in charge of the money, and could see problems that others had not noticed. He asked directly: "Is the logistics team peaceful recently?" "What do you mean, sir?"
