Xiujuan served tea, the first new tea of the year. Chen Guanlou sat upright on the chair, his expression serious, upright, and a model of morality. One can tell at a glance that he is a five-good youth, a role model for everyone to learn from. He took a sip of the tea and praised: "Miss Xiujuan's tea-making skills are getting better and better." Xiujuan glanced at him and stood beside Liu Wanshi so that she could serve at any time. Liu Wanshi sighed softly, no matter how you look at her, she is a dignified and good daughter-in-law. "Xiaochuan is in prison, and he won't be able to get out for a while. He still needs Xiaochen's help." "Madam, you are too polite. Even if you don't tell me, I will take the initiative to do this." Liu Wanshi smiled with satisfaction, "This time the first and second houses are quarreling, the first master is watching from the sidelines, and the second master wants to intervene, but it depends on whether Zhang Yushi is willing to give face. My master is unlucky, implicated, and it's hard to be caught in the middle. I haven't had a good rest these days." "Madam, don't worry, the matter will be resolved sooner or later. No matter how bad Zhang Yushi's temper is, no matter how powerful he is, he can't fail to give face to the Marquis' Mansion." "It's hard to say. Those censors like to catch the mistakes of the nobles the most. It's safe and risk-free, and they can also brush up their reputation."
It has been a drama since ancient times for censors to catch the nobles to brush up their reputation, and it is especially obvious in this dynasty. The nobles can enjoy wealth and honor by birth, and their descendants for generations occupy the best resources in the world. Scholars have to study hard for decades before they have a chance to enter the court and be qualified to serve as officials with the nobles. Jealousy! Any serious scholar who sees the nobles' extravagance will be jealous. Once there is a chance, they will definitely impeach the nobles to death. It doesn't matter whether the old emperor pays attention or not. What's important is that you must show an attitude of never colluding with the nobles in order to win the praise of the scholars. The praise of the scholars seems unimportant, but only those who are in the officialdom know that this thing is the real capital for promotion. With the reputation of the scholars, the old emperor must also weigh it and not humiliate it wantonly, so as not to chill the hearts of scholars all over the world and bear the stigma of a tyrant. The other abilities of scholars are ordinary, but it is easy to ruin the reputation of an emperor. Even when the emperor is alive, scholars dare not ruin it. When the emperor dies, they can ruin it as much as they want. The new emperor can't stop it, absolutely. "Even if you want to improve your reputation, you have to see the consequences." Chen Guanlou was not in a hurry at all. He followed Liu Wanshi's words and talked about this and that, but he didn't get to the point. Liu Wanshi glanced at him and thought, a bold boy, he has a lot of tricks. She took a sip of tea, "The key is that my master is stuck in the middle and it's hard to be a man." "Liu Guanshi must be exhausted recently, shouldn't we ask a doctor to come to the house to take a look?" Chen Guanlou suggested casually. Liu Wanshi then sighed, "You can be sick for a while, but you can't be sick for a lifetime. I heard that you gave him the idea to complain to the eldest master about Master Du's last incident." After saying that, she stared at him with her eyes, obviously with bad intentions. Chen Guanlou would never admit it, "Don't say that. I've only read a few days, how can I give advice to Master Du, Madam thinks highly of me." "Whether you think highly of me or not, you know it in your heart. I also heard that after Master Du met the eldest master, the eldest master suddenly had a whim to invite a strange doctor to treat the eldest lady and the eldest young lady, and changed the previous prescription. Now, after the eldest young lady used the new prescription, she had the energy to run to the old lady and seek death, forcing the second young lady to kneel in front of the old lady to plead guilty and be punished." After saying that, Liu Wanshi snorted. This time, the source of the matter was Chen Guanlou. If the eldest young lady's health did not improve, she would not have the energy to make trouble. As long as she didn't make trouble, Zhang Yushi's second son would always find a way to appease her. In a blink of an eye, the matter was gone without a trace. Manager Liu didn't have to suffer from the pinch, and Liu Xiaochuan naturally didn't have to go to the sky prison. Chen Guanlou: ... Oh, there is actually a scene of kneeling as punishment. It's so lively! However, Liu Wanshi is so shameless that she actually put the blame on him. It's a bit bullying!
He didn't hesitate and directly retorted, "Look at what Madam said, you can match two things that are not related at all. If I had that ability, how could I be a jailer." "Everyone knows that you love martial arts so much that you ask prisoners for martial arts secrets every day after entering the Tianlao." Ah? Chen Guanlou was obviously very surprised and asked in a low voice, "Has this matter spread to the Marquis' Mansion?" Liu Wanshi rolled her eyes at him, "What do you think? Your affairs are not hidden from others, and it's normal for them to spread to the Marquis' Mansion." Chen Guanlou: ... Fortunately, he did not reveal his real secret. As for collecting martial arts secrets in Tianlao, this matter cannot be kept secret. Therefore, from the beginning, he did not deliberately conceal it, and of course he would not take the initiative to tell others. If others want to gossip about him, he can't stop it. The Marquis' Mansion will know. If he uses force in the future, he will have an excuse. As long as he doesn't expose his inner strength, it will be fine. "Don't worry about why I became a jailer. In short, the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion have nothing to do with me. If the Madam comes to ask for punishment, I'm sorry I can't continue to entertain her." Chen Guanlou showed an attitude of driving away guests and not accommodating the other party. Liu Wanshi looked at him and laughed out loud, "Look how anxious you are. Did I say to ask for punishment? How bad do you think people are?" She was coquettish and angry, so soft! Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows slightly, not buying her tricks, and asked with a stern face: "You are really not asking for punishment?" "Of course not. Although Censor Zhang is fierce, the Marquis' Mansion has ways to deal with him. As long as Zhang doesn't think about magnifying the situation and doesn't want to step on the Marquis' Mansion and act wildly, the Marquis' Mansion is willing to give him enough face. Originally, this matter should be handled by the boy surnamed Ye. But the boy surnamed Ye is determined to stand up for the eldest young lady, and he has been putting on a pretentious tone and refused to give in unless he is given enough benefits." "What does the madam mean?" Chen Guanlou was a little curious. This matter had nothing to do with him. Liu Wanshi smiled softly, "My master learned that Yu Zhaoan was imprisoned in Tianlao, and I heard that it was still your jurisdiction. Why don't you help to pass on a message to Yu Zhaoan." "What does this have to do with Yu Zhaoan?" Chen Guanlou looked puzzled. Liu Wanshi put the teacup aside, and Xiujuan quickly took it and held it in her hand. She took out another handkerchief and wiped the corner of her mouth gently, and said calmly: "Don't you know that Yu Zhaoan and Zhang Yushi have always been at odds with each other?" "Yu Zhaoan is a convicted official, so even if he doesn't get along with Zhang Yushi, what can he do?" "Recently, Zhang Yushi has been very active, taking the lead in impeaching Jiang Tu, and has accumulated a great reputation. Not only that, he secretly colluded, hoping that the Censorate would be the first to give up Yu Zhaoan. Yu Zhaoan graduated from the Jixia Academy, and he has the King of Jin behind him. If he knew that Zhang Yushi was shooting arrows in his back, he would definitely not have no reaction at all. How about it, this little thing is not difficult for you."
