Chen Guanlou snorted and said loudly: "The danger of the Tianlao is not inferior to that of the officialdom. It's just that the jailers and I are just small people. No one cares about us, so naturally it can't be spread outside. The world thinks that we are cruel and lowly. , are a bunch of greedy pests. But we also take huge risks when we take money. Moreover, most of the money is handed over to the above, and we are responsible for it.” After hearing this, Master Du sighed with emotion, "No business is easy. Those who set up stalls on the street also have to work hard to build a good relationship with the servants to avoid being kicked off the stall and losing their livelihood. Come on, I'll give you a drink." Chen Guanlou said quickly, "Master, please don't do this. I respect you. Although I have never studied under your hands, in the past few months, thanks to your teachings, my knowledge has improved a little. I have discovered a lot Reading is still useful. At least when you talk to the adults in the cell, they are willing to listen and give you a straight look. " After hearing this, Master Du laughed and asked curiously: "Those prisoners are still so arrogant after they go to the prison. They are not afraid of being made things difficult by your jailers." It's just chatting, naturally tell the truth, it doesn't matter if it's a little exaggerated. Chen Guanlou sighed, "The jailer is miserable!" "Who dares to make things difficult for them? There is no guarantee that they will be reinstated one day. With a look or a word, they can ruin the jobs of the jailers like me. Not only can we not make things difficult, but we must also serve them like masters. Do you think it will be difficult for us?" " "It's all difficult, it's all difficult." Du Fuzi shook his head. Suddenly he had some inspiration and wanted to write. Chen Guanlou took the initiative to sharpen his ink and wanted to take a quick look. Du Fuzi originally wanted to write a beautiful article, and the inspiration came to him, but after he started writing, he only wrote the beginning and no more.
Chen Guanlou looked anxiously, but did not dare to urge him. He even comforted him by saying, "Articles are made by nature, and can be obtained by chance. Master, if you have a confident mind and a belly, you will be able to write beautiful articles. The sky is too bright at this time, and a few pieces are missing." You have to wait until night, when people are quiet, to have a good writing atmosphere.” "Xiaolou, what you said is beautiful. Especially the first two sentences. The article is made by nature, and it comes by accident. Good, good! Great! I didn't expect you to have the talent of poetry. It's a pity that you don't continue to study. , otherwise you might be able to obtain a meritorious title.” "Master, don't laugh at me. I have already been in the prison and worked as a jailer, so I am not qualified to take the imperial examination. The official checked my details and killed me on the spot. I should be more conscious and not hang out in the circle of scholars. So as not to stain their eyes and cause others to dislike you.” Chen Guanlou looked self-deprecating. He is a good citizen, and it is perfectly fine for him to take part in the imperial examination. But he was engaged in the humble profession of jailer. When others hear about his profession, they frown. Not to mention scholars who think highly of themselves. Not every scholar is like Master Su, Master Du, or Master Zhao who does not dislike the jailer. After all, his status as a good citizen has been stained and no longer so innocent. The world agrees that jailers have dirty hands and dirty hearts, and they do a lot of dirty things like killing people and paying for money. Can a person who has killed someone be called innocent? Don't insult the word innocence and make people laugh. Master Du was very sorry and sighed, "What a pity. Why did you end up in the sky prison and start working as a jailer? It's a pity." Chen Guanlou wanted to be happy. Although everyone regrets that he went to the sky prison and resigned himself to depravity. But he enjoyed it very much. Without the treasure house of Tianlao, there would be no chance for him to practice martial arts and obtain the profound martial arts "Record of Ascension to Heaven". After practicing martial arts for less than a year, he was already able to defeat a first-level martial artist. Although he couldn't show it off, he felt particularly happy and secretly happy. Dark pleasure is the highest enjoyment. No one can understand how much he cherishes the job of jailer. What does the low status of the jailer have to do with it. In a world where martial arts is respected, only those with strong martial arts can be proud of the world. Moreover, he possesses the Taoist Fruit of Immortality, and there is no place more suitable to hide himself than the Heavenly Prison. He said nonchalantly: "It's no pity. You will get something if you give up. At that time, I was so poor that I only had one pair of underwear left, and I couldn't open the pot. It was the jailer's profession that solved my urgent need and gave me savings. You can have a meal of meat and a pot of wine in three to five days. If I didn't do this business, I don't know which business house I'd be working in now, hunched over, serving tea and water, and earning just enough money to make ends meet. I can't make myself rich, I can't help my eldest sister, and I don't even have the chance to come to Master for advice. " "It's over, it's over." Master Du waved his hands repeatedly. He was not a glutton. He could only eat a few taels of meat and drink two taels of wine. I never expected to get much money from Chen Guanlou. Seeing Master Du's misunderstanding, Chen Guanlou hurriedly explained, "If I worked in a trading company, I would be busy from morning to night. Even if I wanted to come to Master Du for advice, I wouldn't have the time, let alone the mood. It's not like now, working in three shifts, I just go home after my errands. I have money and leisure, but my status is lower, not to mention more chic.” "To be cool and unrestrained is to waste one's talents in learning." "I don't have any talent." Chen Guanlou refused to admit that he had any talent. He would rather be regarded as illiterate. "Why should you be so modest, Xiaolou? I have been chatting with you for such a long time, and I still know how much you weigh. Although I have not laid a good foundation in knowledge, and the foundation is not solid enough. But the advantage is that my ideas are flexible, I can draw inferences from one instance, and I do not stick to the rules. Opinionated and insightful. These are the things that most scholars today lack. If you can spend more time laying a solid foundation, you can still hope to become a scholar. "
Alas, Chen Guanlou didn't expect that Master Du would give him such a high evaluation, saying that he had the talent of a juren. He was very happy in his heart. Being appreciated and praised by others is always a happy thing. No wonder the old emperor loves to listen to flattery, and officials who speak the truth are not reused. Sometimes the truth is too harsh. Jiang Tu can be reused by the emperor. If nothing else, he must have a high EQ and speak very beautifully. He didn't come out of Master Du's house until it was getting dark. With a little bit of drunkenness, he walked through the streets and alleys and walked towards his home. From a distance, he saw Liu Xiaochuan, the doorman of Liu Guanshi's house, leaning against the wall, looking like he was going to make trouble. He walked up and greeted him, "Brother Liu, you are not on duty today, what are you doing here?" Liu Xiaochuan was suddenly called by his name, and he was nervous for a while. Turning around and seeing that it was Chen Guanlou, he immediately felt relieved, "It turned out to be Brother Chen, aren't you on duty today?" "I've been working the night shift these days, and it's not time for me to be on duty yet. What are you doing here, sneaking around?" Now Chen Guanlou is a team leader, has money in his hands, and most importantly, he has already repaid the favor to Manager Liu. Therefore, he doesn't need to worry about talking to Liu Xiaochuan, and naturally says whatever he wants.
