Chapter 1255: Is Other People's Opinion Really That Important?
Chen Guanlou's network in the palace only had one Eunuch Wang Hai.
Upon meeting, he called him Brother Wang one after another. Not only did he prepare hot tea, but he also set up a table of wine and food. He kept it warm with a small stove; when the person arrived, it was just right to eat hot.
Wang Hai rarely smiled and teased, "Using people when facing forward, discarding them when facing backward. Brother Chen, you are a snob! Such a rich wine and food, there must be something to ask today."
"Look at what you said, how am I a snob. Even brothers have times when they quarrel; you and I are brothers from different fathers and mothers, occasionally throwing a face, and you are still counting it. Don't be so stingy."
Wang Hai felt angry; Chen Guanlou actually hit back, truly glib-tongued.
"Fine! Let's not discuss the snob thing first. There is a question that has been hidden in my heart for a long time."
"You speak!" Chen Guanlou was at ease, not caring about the other party's attitude at all.
Wang Hai pondered for a while, somewhat difficult to speak, "I am a eunuch, you know that."
Chen Guanlou nodded, "I have eyes and a brain. What exactly do you want to say."
"I am a eunuch, yet you always like to drag me to the brothel; what is your intention?"
"Can't eunuchs go to the brothel?" Chen Guanlou looked puzzled, "Eunuchs are also people, how can they not go to the brothel. Or do you not like going to the brothel, you should have said so earlier, next time we'll change to another place to play."
"I'm not, I didn't..."
"Not what, didn't what, you'd better say it clearly. Don't wait until next time, and I'll do a good deed and cause a bad thing."
Wang Hai frowned tightly; this question was very important to him, so important that he had been pondering it all these days. As a result, Chen Guanlou took it lightly and didn't take this question to heart at all.
"Do you think eunuchs going to the brothel is a very normal thing? Don't you worry about me being mocked and teased?"
"Is it not normal for eunuchs to go to the brothel?" Chen Guanlou really didn't understand.
He continued, "Those disabled people outside, beggars begging on the street, honest old farmers in the countryside, as long as they have money in their hands, they all want to go to the brothel to enjoy themselves. They are not inferior, why do you think it's not normal?
Also, you are a dignified Ninth Rank martial artist, who dares to mock you, tease you? If someone really has the guts to tease you, won't you kill him?
I take you to the brothel to enjoy yourself, which is a very normal thing, belonging to normal social activities. Why do you have to think about this and that?
Look at you, is your mind too heavy, is there someone in the palace whispering in your ear, washing your brain? You can't be fooled.
Even if you are a eunuch, even if your functions are incomplete, we must be upright men, do what we want, go to the brothel if we want to enjoy ourselves, without caring about the outside world's views.
People live in the world for themselves, not for other people's evaluations. Don't want to learn from that bunch of corrupt scholars who seek fame and reputation, drilling into the tip of a bull's horn."
Wang Hai's nervous mood relaxed a lot.
He rarely smiled, "Do you really think this is a normal thing?"
"Is it not normal in your eyes?" Chen Guanlou was really strange; people these days have heavy minds. A normal thing is interpreted into various strange meanings.
Could it be that people in the palace are all of this virtue, small-minded, heavy-minded, vengeful, cruel means... except for serving people, they are all shortcomings.
The imperial palace really doesn't raise normal people, only raises perverts. Not only are eunuchs and palace maids perverts, but harem concubines are also perverts. The Emperor is also a pervert after being an Emperor for a long time!
The whole imperial palace can't find a normal person, all have points of going crazy!
"It is a bit abnormal!" Wang Hai told the truth.
A large number of eunuchs in the palace are playing with women. But most of them never go to the brothel, but buy women home to play with. Eunuchs with slightly lower status form pairs in the palace.
He is one of the few eunuchs who goes in and out of the brothel, so naturally, it's rare.
"You have to adapt to the environment, but you can't be swayed by the environment!" Chen Guanlou advised earnestly, "Don't believe what they say just because others say it's abnormal and determine that a eunuch is not a man.
Except for incomplete functions, what are you worse than other men? You are superb in martial arts, deep in cultivation, serious and responsible in work, and meticulous in mind! You have so many advantages, why are you inferior because of a small brothel. You are a dignified Ninth Rank martial artist, I don't believe any woman dares to mock you to your face."
"Not mocking to my face, but definitely mocking behind my back." Wang Hai gritted his teeth! Eunuchs have small minds and hate it most when people discuss them behind their backs and talk about their gossip.
"Why do you care about the discussion behind your back?" Wang Hai asked back, "Anyway, you can't hear it. Look, it's really because your mind is too heavy!"
"Why can't I care?" Wang Hai asked back, "Mere cheap status, also dares to criticize me, looking for death!"
"Eh, I don't agree with this. According to your meaning, am I not also a cheap status!"
"You are different, you are a good citizen, you are an official."
"I count as a fart of an official. Occasionally I pretend to be an official, look, who treats me as a serious official." Chen Guanlou is good at scolding others, and he is not inferior to scolding himself. With a hard heart, he can scold his ancestors for eighteen generations.
Wang Hai didn't know what reaction to make for a while, very embarrassed.
He pinched his nose, and after a long time, he muttered: "To comfort me, there's no need to scold even yourself."
Chen Guanlou took the opportunity to be smug: "So I live freely. I don't care about my own status, so naturally, I care even less about other people's evaluations.
You care too much about other people's views, so you have heart demons. A small brothel makes you confused, then there are too many things in your life that need to be confused. With your mentality, don't even think about being promoted to the Grandmaster realm in this life. Learn from me, relax your mentality, eating and drinking well is better than anything!"
Hearing that he couldn't be promoted to Grandmaster, Wang Hai's face changed.
He asked sharply: "Do you really think I can't be promoted to Grandmaster?"
Chen Guanlou was not afraid of him; pinching him to death was like pinching an ant to death.
He didn't follow the tension because the other party was nervous, and said very casually: "With your current mentality, there is definitely no play! Although I haven't touched the edge of Grandmaster, I still have a little shallow opinion.
Anyone who is promoted to Grandmaster, besides talent, the most important thing is the state of mind. If the state of mind is not reached, it will definitely go into devilry, and even die. You observe those two in the palace, do they ever pay attention to the trivial matters in the palace on weekdays, and do they ever participate in the struggles of various factions. What is this? This is the state of mind! Once you are contaminated with too many worldly affairs, it is inevitable to breed heart demons!"
Wang Hai frowned and thought deeply, it seemed to make sense, but he looked at the other party, "What about you? You are dealing with worldly affairs all day long, witnessing life and death every day, why don't you have heart demons, and your cultivation is advancing by leaps and bounds?"
"Because I follow my heart in everything, and my anger doesn't last overnight! I eat and drink well all day long, enjoy myself every day, and am content, so I have no heart demons. The most important point, I don't have such a heavy mind as you, thinking about everything for a fart-sized thing! Is other people's opinion really that important?" ===== CHAPTER 1256 =====
