The butler wanted to reach out and knock on Chen Guanlou's head to see if it was filled with tofu dregs. But he didn't dare! "You are also a member of the Chen family, and the family is proud of you. The family banquet at the Marquis's Mansion would be tarnished without you. You came back quietly to attend the family banquet, and by the way, announced to the world that you had ended your retreat and returned safely. Even if you take a step back, the chefs in the Marquis's Mansion are all good, and you have eaten them. The chefs' ancestors were imperial chefs, and they couldn't eat so many delicacies on weekdays." The butler is worthy of being the butler. Look at this art of speaking, praising you highly and being proud of you. Anyone with a strong vanity would be sold out by the butler sooner or later if he was praised like this. However, Chen Guanlou was unmoved. Is he the kind of person who changes his mind for a few plates of delicacies? "The money I won from the bet last year is still in the Marquis's Mansion. Don't you want to take it back?" The butler finally caught the vital point. It is not as effective as a word of money to praise the sky. "If you hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten that there is a large sum of money in the Marquis' Mansion. Take it back, you must take it back. Okay, I will definitely go to the family banquet when the time comes."
"Are you sure?" "I will go for the money." The butler left with satisfaction. When he left, he did not forget to remind him to go to the new house to take a look. Everything is ready inside, just waiting for him as the master. Chen Guanlou was moved. He stayed in the new house for two nights, and then returned to his small home in the back alley of the Marquis' Mansion. It's not that the new house is not good, nor that the servants are not satisfied with the service, but that too many people affect the Tao heart. Especially those beautiful maids, they would get close to him when they had nothing to do, constantly refreshing their presence. He wanted to practice quietly for a while, but he was inevitably disturbed. He scolded and scolded, punished and punished, and wasted time and words with the servants, which was annoying to death. I thought that being a master just required lying down, but I didn't expect to spend time managing. He was consuming his energy managing the prison during the day, and he had to continue to consume his energy doing management work when he returned to the mansion at night. He must be crazy. Should he practice cultivation? It is more comfortable to live alone, wipe your mouth after eating, and do whatever you want. You don’t have to worry about being disturbed when practicing. When the time came, he went to the Marquis’ Mansion to attend the family dinner, and he went through the main gate. He was going to go through the side door, but Chen Guanxiang, Brother Xiang, saw him and hurriedly grabbed him, "Go through the main gate, go through the main gate, you must go through the main gate!" Chen Guanlou teased: "The treatment has been upgraded!" "That's for sure. You are no longer the same as before. You come to the Marquis’ Mansion, which is called a distinguished guest, and you should go through the main gate. I haven't seen you for so long, and I heard from the butler that you are in seclusion." "Yes, just came out of seclusion." "You haven't been to your brother-in-law's house yet." "What's the matter?" After he came back, he asked someone to send a message to his eldest sister Chen Xiaolan. The eldest sister was pregnant again and was about to give birth, so she didn't come to visit him. As for him, he was thinking about resting for two days, making up for the lost weight and then visiting his elder sister. "The housekeeper arranged for someone to buy a teahouse for your brother-in-law. With the support of the Marquis' Mansion, the teahouse business is very good, and several waiters have been hired. Moreover, the teahouse is registered under your elder sister's name and counted as your elder sister's dowry. It has nothing to do with the Su family. The money earned is your elder sister and her husband's private money, and it is not included in the public account. I heard that Su Po was so angry that she lay down for half a month." They are all from the same clan. It's okay for the girls of the clan to marry in other places, but if they marry in the capital, everyone knows the situation of each family.
Everyone has heard of the reputation of Su Po, the old pious woman. Chen Guanxiang revealed the news about Chen Xiaolan at this time, just to please Chen Guanlou and to sell himself in front of the housekeeper. Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows slightly, and he was really happy. He had thought about buying a dowry for his elder sister and adding two storefronts before. But the eldest sister disagreed. Another thing is that it is best for the elders to come forward to discuss this matter with the old couple of the Su family, and it is necessary to ask the elders of the clan. Chen Xiaolan did not want Chen Guanlou to owe favors to the clan, and did not want to irritate Su Pozi, so she gave up. Chen Guanlou simply subsidized Chen Xiaolan with money. This time he and Master Qi tied, and the world was shocked. His status and reputation were no longer the same as before. So, the butler naturally bought a teahouse for Chen Xiaolan as a dowry. Because of Chen Guanlou's reputation and the Marquis's Mansion, the Su family could only accept it with a pinch of the nose. Su Pozi scolded Su's brother-in-law for eating soft rice, but Su's brother-in-law didn't care at all, and he was complacent. He had the ability to eat soft rice, and others wanted to eat but couldn't. Envy him. The butler is worthy of being the butler of the Marquis's Mansion. He is thorough in doing things and considers all aspects. Considering the Su family's housework, the dowry only added a teahouse, which was not too much, and there was no suspicion of using power to pressure others. If Chen Guanlou did it himself, he would definitely not be so thorough. He would most likely do something dirty with the Su family. "I must toast the butler a glass of wine later to thank him for his thoroughness." "We will also have a drink later." Chen Guanxiang laughed. Chen Guanlou patted his shoulder, "Okay! When you are free here, let's have a drink." Another guest came to the door, and Chen Guanxiang immediately arranged for the doorman to greet the guest. He personally led Chen Guanlou into the front yard flower hall. Just after sitting down and not drinking tea, someone from the inner courtyard came to invite him. The old lady learned that he was here and wanted to see him. So Chen Guanlou got up and went to the inner courtyard. Entering the inner courtyard, at a glance, all the young ladies. It was called a family dinner, but in fact, many guests were invited. The garden was full of flowers, as if all the young ladies waiting to be married in the capital had come to the Marquis' Mansion today. It was so beautiful that it almost dazzled him. He had no sense of not looking at anything inappropriate, and he glanced at the young ladies in the garden openly. The young ladies were also very bold, laughing and chattering, pursing their lips and smiling lightly, or covering their mouths and laughing shyly. Seeing that he did not avoid his gaze, the young ladies looked at him boldly. One look, and his face turned red. Two looks, and his ears turned red. Three looks, and his whole body was probably red. Chen Guanlou looked down and examined himself. Today, he was dressed decently, wearing a green straight dress, with his hair neatly tied up and a jade hairpin inserted. He learned to pretend to be rich, and tied a jade pendant around his waist, which was worth hundreds of taels of silver. The only thing missing was a folding fan. Holding a folding fan in this weather was very suitable. What a pity, he forgot about it when he went out. With this dress and a face as handsome as Pan An, it's no wonder that the ladies blushed. Hehe! He was quite proud inside. This was not the first time he came to the backyard of the Marquis's Mansion. Looking at the route, it seemed that he was deliberately led through the garden and appeared in front of many young ladies. What was he doing? Was he urging him to get married again? When did his marriage attract so much attention?
The butler was incompetent and did not convey his meaning properly. It is also possible that he has been in power for a long time and has forgotten how to respect the wishes of others. He only has one thought in his mind: I'm doing this for your own good!
