Sister-in-law Chunxiang was born into the Hou family, but she married a stranger. When she got married, the Hou Mansion was generous and released her from the contract of prostitution. Because of her, the whole family lived in the back alley of the Hou Mansion, so they had someone to take care of them and didn't have to worry about being exploited and beaten by government servants. No matter how awesome the government servants are, they would not dare to run wild on the territory of the Marquis Mansion. Chunxiang's wife's man is a martial artist who works in the escort agency. I recently went out of town with a batch of goods and haven't come back yet. The structure of their house is the same as that of the Chen family, but it has an extra wing and a wing, which can be rented out to supplement the family income. In the past, it was mostly rented to small and medium-sized businessmen who came to the capital to do business. This is the first time that it is rented to scholars, which is strange. Mrs. Chunxiang has such a loud voice, her speaking voice is an octave lower, and there is also a bit of a clipped sound, which is really strange. Chen Guanlou cut the braised pork into three taels and sent it to Mrs. Chunxiang's family. His three children could satisfy their craving for three ounces of braised pork. By the way, I took a look at the rare things and weighed the weight of the new scholars. Don't let a scholar with martial arts influence him from practicing martial arts. Knocked on the door and entered Chunxiang's house. Sister-in-law Chunxiang greeted him warmly, "Come here as soon as you come, and bring some braised pork. Have you eaten? If not, let's eat together." "Eat, eat. I ate on the way back." The two families are very familiar with each other, and they don't see each other at all. Sister-in-law Chunxiang was not too polite to him. She served him tea and chatted while doing housework. At this time, the door of the east wing opened, and the scholar tenant opened the door and came out. He was well-dressed, but there was eye droppings hanging from the corners of his eyes, and there were red bloodshot eyes.
"Why did Mr. Zhao get up so early today? Do you want to eat breakfast outside or should I cook it for you? There is still millet at home. You can make millet porridge." "Then please ask my boss to cook me a bowl of millet porridge and a basket of steamed buns." After saying that, Mr. Zhao took the money and gave it to Mrs. Chunxiang. Mrs. Chunxiang then asked the eldest son of the family to go out and buy steamed buns, and specifically told him to go to Zhangji to buy them. Zhang Ji's steamed buns are full of ingredients, the buns are big and very affordable. By the way, I whispered to the boss to buy a cage for Chen Guanlou to eat. Even the millet porridge is prepared for two people. "This brother?" Mr. Zhao obviously noticed the unfamiliar Chen Guanlou and asked curiously. Chen Guanlou smiled and greeted, "My surname is Chen, Chen Guanlou, I live next door." "Ah!" Mr. Zhao suddenly realized, "You are the little Brother Chen who works in Tianlao." "Exactly!" "Nice to meet you." Mr. Zhao didn't look down on the jailer, but he didn't get too close and maintained a normal social distance. "Where is Master Zhao from?" Chen Guanlou asked about the other party's household registration book. Mr. Zhao didn't hide anything, let alone be wary, "My home is in Fuzhou." "Fuzhou is a great place. Are you still used to coming to Beijing? The food in Beijing is very different from Fuzhou." "It's not bad! It's not my first time going out. I'm adaptable well." Mr. Zhao was quite proud. Young people in their twenties are still in the stage of showing off. Chen Guanlou saw that the opponent had no martial arts background and had never practiced martial arts, so he felt relieved early. "If Mr. Zhao encounters trouble in the capital in the future, please let me know if you don't mind. I can still help with things on the street." He didn't do everything, he just said he could help with things on the street. The implication is that there is nothing that can be done about matters in the officialdom. When Mr. Zhao heard this, he suddenly felt good about him and said that he was going to treat Chen Guanlou to a drink. Chen Guanlou agreed, saying that they would have a drink together some other time when they were free, and introduce him to the scenery of the capital. In time for noon time, Chen Guanlou went to Du Fuzi's house. Master Du's wife is in his hometown, and so are his children. There is an old servant taking care of him. Every time Chen Guanlou comes, he is very happy. Not only because Chen Guanlou brings wine and food every time, but also because the young and old can talk together.
Master Du taught in the Hou Mansion and often felt lonely. There is no one around to chat with. The arrival of Chen Guanlou filled the vacancy, and life became colorful. As soon as he saw the person, Du Fuzi greeted him warmly, making the old servant want to take the braised beef to the kitchen and slice it up. He bought two more side dishes and he was happy today. "Thank you for your help last time. I went to see the elder a few days ago." Du Fuzi took the initiative to talk about the matter. Chen Guanlou was also very curious and asked: "What did the elder say? Did you express your position?" Du Fuzi said with emotion, "After the eldest master learned about my affairs, he told me to teach without worrying about the second master. The eldest master also said that he can trust my character and knowledge. If anything happens to the private school in the future, he can directly Inform him." "Congratulations to Master Du. From now on, you don't have to worry about the mistake of the second master catching you, let alone losing your job at the Marquis' private school." Chen Guanlou was happy for Master Du, and also for himself. Master Du is very knowledgeable, and he doesn't want to ask someone else for the time being. Master Du laughed happily and felt very satisfied. He picked up the wine glass and the old man and the young man started drinking. The two of them drank until their ears were full of wine, and Master Du talked about another thing, "The words you said last time really scared me to death. When I met the eldest man, I followed your suggestion and boldly mentioned two things. Sentence. The old man looked worried, and I didn’t dare to say much. However, I guess the old man must have listened.” After saying that, Master Du looked around, lowered his voice suddenly, and continued: "A few days ago, I heard that the Hou Mansion had a different doctor to take the pulse of the eldest wife and eldest mistress. I heard that even the prescription was changed. ” Chen Guanlou picked up a piece of braised beef and said with a smile: "Both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are sick, so I thought there was something weird in this. Sure enough! The eldest master changed the doctor, but the old lady of the Hou Mansion didn't say anything? " "I heard that the old lady of the Hou Mansion beat the second girl in the house on the pretext of being angry with some women, saying that she didn't learn the rules well. By the way, the second girl is from the eldest family. Although she is a concubine, she has been raised in the eldest family since she was a child. In my wife’s name, I have been raised as my legitimate daughter.” When Chen Guanlou heard this, he immediately sneered, "The old lady is in a hurry. You can't be in a hurry. It's easy to make mistakes when you are in a hurry. No, the old lady is hitting the mother-in-law and the second girl again. These actions fall on the In the eyes of the elder, it is inevitable that he will think more about it. However, the old lady has a strong body and holds the high ground of filial piety, so the Hou Mansion still has something to fight for. " Du Fuzi clicked his tongue twice, "I think so too. Thanks to your young age, you can think of so many things. How did you learn that?" "Master, have you forgotten? I have been living in the Su family with my eldest sister for several years, and I have learned to understand people's hearts to some extent. Now I am working in Tianlao again. Tianlao, there are all kinds of monsters, ghosts, and snakes in there, and there are not one hundred and eight. My heart has been betrayed a long time ago.” "How could the Tianlao be so dangerous?" Master Du didn't quite understand. In ordinary people's understanding, the jailers in Tianlao are not only responsible for guarding prisoners, but there is no need to be cunning. Being jealous is something only officials in the officialdom need to worry about.
