After sending Chen Guanlou away, the chief steward went to see the eldest son Chen Guanfu. "How?" Chen Guanfu asked casually. The chief steward bowed slightly and said, "That's true, but looking at his attitude, I don't like it." Chen Guanfu picked up the brush, took a look at it, and asked casually: "Why are you not happy? Are you not satisfied with the pay?" "That's not the case. From what I've seen, he just doesn't like the Li family and is not willing to help the Li family." "Has the Li family ever offended him?" "That's not true. However, I know his character somewhat, maybe because of the brother-in-law of the Li family." Chen Guanfu's expression was obviously a little surprised, "You mean he pities the poor and the weak?" "On weekdays, he is very kind to the orphans and children in the clan. If he has money, he is willing to spend money. It is said that the brother-in-law of the Li family is a pervert and has ruined many girls from good families. If he bullies him, As a wealthy person with an ordinary status, I guess Chen Guanlou would not dislike him, and maybe he would look down upon him. The brother-in-law of the Li family would bully and humiliate a small family, and everyone who practices martial arts has a hero's heart. It’s not a big deal. I heard that he was in jail and suffered a lot. If the Li family hadn’t sent him the money in time, he would have died in jail.” Before the chief steward approached Chen Guanlou to talk about the matter, he naturally understood the situation first and made a targeted decision. No, when the prince asked him, he talked eloquently, and everything he said was meaningful.
Chen Guanfu nodded understandingly, "The Li family's brother-in-law fell into his hands. He is lucky to be alive." After saying that, he smiled and said, "That's all, you don't have to worry about this matter in the future. Helping the Li family is just a matter of face." , Just do it casually. If the Li family has the ability to escape on their own, I don't mind helping them at critical moments. If they don't have the ability, I won't be bothered by others. " "Master, how do I explain it to you?" "Tell the truth. The eldest master cares about old friendships, but I don't care about them. They are a bunch of ghosts and snake gods. When something happens, none of them can be found. When something happens to me, they all have the audacity to come to the door. The eldest master is a man who values friendship, and he apologizes when he apologizes. I can forget about it. This prince is not so generous. Not only is he not generous, he is also stingy.” Chen Guanfu knew himself thoroughly. The second wife of the Hou Mansion has been able to be arrogant for many years, naturally because the eldest master does not like to care about such trivial matters and has a generous temperament. Chen Guanfu was very stingy. He had been back for such a long time and had tidied up the second house and his family. Even the old lady has calmed down a lot now. As the saying goes, evil people need to be punished by evil people. Chen Guanlou left the Hou Mansion and saw that it was getting late, so he simply changed his route and went to Du Fuzi's house to have a meal. Master Du's son and grandson are not at home today, saying they have gone out to socialize. Mr. Du was old, so except for the banquets at the Marquis' Mansion, he would not attend any banquets outside unless he was a scholarly bigwig who could curry favor with him. Master Du was very happy to see him. Knowing that he hadn't eaten yet, he quickly asked the old servant to prepare some dishes to go with the wine. Chen Guanlou paid again, asked someone to get a pot of wine outside, and then went to the restaurant to buy some dishes. He never treats himself poorly in terms of food. Anyway, if he has money, he can feed one person and the whole family will not be hungry. With so much money, no matter how much he makes, he will definitely not be able to finish it just by eating. This doesn't open the door to spending money, and there is no plan. Mrs. Chunxiang would try to persuade him every now and then about spending money. He listens to it every time, forgets it every time he hears it, and never gets distracted. Every time they meet, the eldest sister also advises him not to spend money frivolously. The same nod, hahaha, and then forget. There is something wrong with a bachelor saving a few cents. Even if he doesn't save money, as long as he doesn't buy a large-scale property or raise a woman, he won't be able to spend all the money in his hands within a few years. The weather was hot, so the two set up a table in the yard. The food and wine were all served, and it was very sumptuous.
Chen Guanlou ate until he was five minutes full before he could chat with Master Du. "I haven't come to visit you for a long time. Are you busy?" "It's busier than before. With the expansion of the clan and the number of students, things have become more complicated." "I see you are in good spirits." Chen Guanlou took a sip of wine. Du Fuzi chuckled, "It's not bad, it's not bad! You, you haven't been idle in the past few months." "The Tianlao can't be idle. People are coming in and out, so I have to worry about it. But I haven't been busy in the past few days. The biggest case is Li Shangshu's nephew and his brother-in-law. The other cases have not made such a big move. ” Master Du was very gossipy and subconsciously lowered his voice and asked, "I heard that you almost killed my brother-in-law." "Where did this word come from?" Chen Guanlou smiled half-heartedly, "Even Master has heard about it. Hey, this person just can't do anything, so it's best to lie down. I detain prisoners according to the rules, but they also gossip." "It's not just idle talk. Many people say you did the right thing." "Really?" Chen Guanlou was quite surprised. Master Du nodded, "Because the Li family's case involves Li Shangshu, everyone in the capital is paying attention, so the news spreads quickly. Many people said that you were very happy about how you dealt with the Li family's brother-in-law. That kind of local bully, This is how I should deal with it. I have seen similar bullies in my hometown before. I am lucky that the women in my family are mediocre and have no assets to worry about, so they can be safe. " Tsk! After hearing this, Chen Guanlou complained directly: "The place is in such a terrible state, I think the world will end sooner or later." "Stop talking nonsense." Du Fuzi was scared to death. Although he often heard treacherous words from Chen Guanlou's mouth, he was still frightened every time. Chen Guanlou dares to say anything. There is nothing he dares not say. Chen Guanlou didn't care. He ate wine and food and chatted: "The court sends out inspectors every year, and the censors will also regularly inspect the local areas. The result is this... Hehe... For so many years, I haven't seen many local bullies being dealt with. Li's brother-in-law is just unlucky. He didn't use his wits to offend people with backgrounds and was reported. If he had used his wits to be more careful, he would probably continue to cause trouble for several years. This kind of local disaster that can be found out by just asking around, those censors and inspectors are blind and deaf. Do you think the world is going to end?" "That's not the case. The evil done by the previous emperor, even if the new emperor wants to correct it, it will take time." Du Fuzi's thinking is naturally the set of monarchs and ministers. As long as the knife doesn't fall on his head, he will protect the imperial power from beginning to end. Chen Guanlou has been accepted since childhood The theory that rebellion is justified, the emperor takes turns, this year it's my turn. In their hearts, they regard the imperial power as a reactionary force and hope that someone will overthrow it. As for the emergence of a new imperial power after the overthrow, and the repetition of the old path, that is another story. At least the common people can have a few decades of breathing time. When they can't breathe, they can overthrow it again. = || ; ({ mode: 'thumbs-feed-01', container: 'taboola-below-article-thumbnail---300x250', placement: 'Below article thumbnail - 300x250', target_type: 'mix' });
