Chapter 1274: Good Son

Pure Yang Zhenren was very ashamed and angry!

"Stop making fun of this Daoist. You mess around outside all day, and sooner or later you'll have a day like this."

"Impossible! I don't sleep with good families." Chen Guanlou denied it firmly.

Pure Yang Zhenren chuckled, "Are you sure you haven't slept with good families?"

Chen Guanlou shut his mouth.

He had!

And not just one.

This... could it be... in ten or twenty years, could a 'good son' really come to his door? That can't be!

Impossible, impossible!

He hurriedly threw this thought out of his head.

He didn't want to be a father, and he didn't want to wipe the ass of a troublesome child.

"Now we are discussing your matter, my matter is not in the scope of discussion. Talk about your good son, what's the situation? The requirements are so high, why doesn't he go to heaven."

Pure Yang Zhenren sighed.

He glanced at Chen Guanlou, then glanced at Wang Hai, hesitating whether to say it or not.

Chen Guanlou knew it well and said immediately: "Eunuch Wang, my brother from a different father and mother. Today you two can be considered to know each other, get closer. Brother Wang, in the future, if the Daoist goes to the palace and encounters difficulties, please help him out. Daoist, Brother Wang is a martial arts genius, young and already a Ninth-Rank warrior. He will need pills for cultivation in the future, I hope you can make it convenient."

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

"Within my ability, I will definitely help the Zhenren clear obstacles in the palace."

Both of them expressed their stance.

So, Pure Yang Zhenren talked about his good son.

"His father... his foster father's side, the conditions are good, a big household in the local area. His mother comes from a local powerful family, and the two families can be considered a strong combination."

"With such good family conditions, why leave the foster father's family and run to the capital to find you?" Chen Guanlou asked curiously.

Pure Yang Zhenren sighed, drank a sip of wine, and then said: "Because his foster father's family had an accident, provoking people who couldn't be provoked. It implicated his maternal grandfather's family, and they all suffered bad luck. The family was gone, and he learned of his background, so he ran to the capital to acknowledge his relatives. Don't think he doesn't know what's good for him. The reason he wants an official position is actually to gain a foothold in the officialdom as soon as possible and take revenge as soon as possible."

"Wait, you're sure he's your biological son, so you're speaking for him."

Pure Yang Zhenren was so angry his beard blew and his eyes widened, "You think I'm a muddle-headed worm! He looks exactly like I did when I was young, the same nose, eyes, and ears, even the teeth are the same."

Having said that, Pure Yang Zhenren revealed his lower jaw, "See? These three teeth below are crooked. His teeth are exactly the same as mine, even the crooked shape is the same. If he's not my seed, whose seed could he be?"

"Since he's your biological son, I'm very curious, your good son's foster father, having been a green-hat turtle for so many years, didn't discover that he wasn't his biological son?"

"Actually, he had suspicions early on. However, besides him, his mother gave birth to three others, sons and daughters, all born to his foster father. Plus the families' relationship was intertwined, so he just treated it as raising one more son."

What Pure Yang Zhenren didn't say was that in the mountain valleys, there weren't so many scruples. A lot of women were pregnant with other people's babies when they married. For raising other people's sons, the local men were open-minded, just treating it as raising a laborer. If it was a daughter, they just treated it as raising a bride price!

As for green hats, there were even fewer scruples. If you were given a green hat, you also gave others a green hat. Anyway, it was very chaotic. There were even more extreme cases, such as pawning wives, and wife prostitution!

After getting married, the man became a pimp, and the woman became a prostitute, earning money to raise children and support the family.

Or they got married, pawned their wives to wealthy families, and after the wife gave birth to a child for the wealthy family, they would take the wife home. Some families were addicted to pawning wives; pawning one wasn't enough. After giving birth to a baby for Family A, they continued to pawn her to Family B, and then to Family C.

Only after the wife earned enough money with her belly would they properly take the wife home to give birth to their own children!

Propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame—they existed too. Only a very small number of scholars would care about this.

The local people, regardless of wealth or poverty, were much more open-minded about sexual relations than people outside the mountains.

"Looking at your meaning, you are quite satisfied with your good son. Then what do you mean by hiding out?"

Chen Guanlou clicked his tongue twice, unable to understand Pure Yang Zhenren's tangled and complex mood.

Pure Yang Zhenren sighed, "With my status in front of the Emperor, asking for an official position for my biological son isn't difficult. It's just that, if I do this, wouldn't I have one more weakness!"

This was the focus of his hesitation.

He was hesitating whether to acknowledge the good son or not, and whether to drive the person back or not.

"I don't understand this!" Chen Guanlou didn't want to take the trouble on himself, "Brother Wang, you work in the palace, you understand this better than I do. Give an idea."

Wang Hai had an idea, but it depended on Pure Yang Zhenren's meaning.

Pure Yang Zhenren was also very frank, "Eunuch Wang, just say it, it doesn't matter!"

Wang Hai pondered for a while, "The people who handle affairs in the twenty-four government offices in the palace aren't necessarily all eunuchs and palace maids. Since the Zhenren's son wants to take revenge, why look far and wide, find a government office to work in, as long as you hug a big thigh, revenge is just a matter of one sentence."

Pure Yang Zhenren didn't make a sound, his expression didn't change at all, and it was impossible to tell whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied.

"Daoist, why don't you take revenge for your biological son?" Chen Guanlou asked the question everyone had in their hearts.

Pure Yang Zhenren snorted coldly, "Why should I take revenge for him. Just because he's my son, I have to sacrifice my family and business to stand up for him. This Daoist has many sons. If every one of them was like this, wouldn't this Daoist be exhausted to death in this life!"

Got it!

Sure enough, they were birds of a feather, no wonder they could be friends with Chen Guanlou. They were all the same, only loving themselves, loving themselves the most, and even biological sons had to stand aside.

"That's the truth!" Chen Guanlou agreed.

Although they were father and son, there was no affection. Being able to solve the employment problem could be considered a responsible father. Revenge, forget it!

Wang Hai also agreed very much, "Sons won't become useful without being beaten. Wanting an official position and wanting revenge—where in the world is there such a good thing."

Pure Yang Zhenren stroked his beard, feeling very satisfied in his heart.

"If his foster father's family was completely innocent and was bullied, it wouldn't be impossible to help them stand up. However, his foster father's family, as well as his maternal grandfather's family, couldn't be called innocent. Big households in the mountain valleys would inevitably be stained with human lives. Qian Cai, territory, and status were all obtained by robbing and killing to have today. Now that they were bullied by more powerful tycoons, they could only admit defeat!"

Chen Guanlou nodded in approval, "Daoist, I'll toast you. You really are clear-headed and weren't confused by blood relations."

Pure Yang Zhenren was a bit smug, very happy to share his experience, "This Daoist has roamed the rivers and lakes for half a lifetime, and the grievances and hatreds I've seen are more than the salt you've eaten.

I tell you, sons are not rare! If there's one, there will be a second and a third. If you have extra wealth, give some, but the most important thing is yourself. If you preserve yourself, your sons can enjoy blessings with you. If you sacrifice yourself, the whole family will have to drink the northwest wind. Don't put the cart before the horse!" ===== CHAPTER 1275 =====
