Chapter 1321: Sponging a Meal and Losing Out

Su Erbao and Su Xiaobao ran to the Heavenly Prison to play, were taken to the prison cells by Chen Guanlou for a tour, and the two little brats were scared to the point of screaming.

Afterward, Chen Xiaolan was furious and beat Chen Guanlou up.

"How old are you, still like a child, scaring people all day long. How old are they, and you took them into the prison. What if they have nightmares and get a fever at night?"

"Don't worry, it's fine. I asked Medical Officer Mu to take a look, the two brats are very sturdy. Boys, you know, need to be tempered, to make their courage bigger." Chen Guanlou argued with reason, his reasons were sufficient, and he was extremely shameless. He had no self-awareness of being an uncle at all.

Towards his niece, he held her in the palm of his hand, afraid she would suffer any grievances.

Towards his nephew, he made them suffer. If they dared to cry, he would beat them!

Completely two extremes, double standards!

"That doesn't mean you can just take them into the prison. Adults who enter the prison are scared to the point of wetting their pants, let alone two little children. You are too outrageous."

Chen Xiaolan became angrier the more she spoke, and slapped Chen Guanlou on the back.

"Simply nonsense!"

Chen Guanlou laughed, "I'll take them to eat something good, and they won't be scared anymore. Children's emotions come and go quickly, Sister, I have a sense of proportion, don't worry."

Worry my ass!

Chen Xiaolan was furious.

In the end, Chen Guanlou still successfully took his two nephews out for a big meal.

The two brothers were in high spirits, not looking scared at all. They only cared about the big meal.

He took them directly to one of the best restaurants in the capital, the Three-Story Building.

It is said that the boss originally wanted to build four stories. But it was too high, suspected of exceeding the Imperial Palace, so it wasn't built, only three stories were built.

So there was a height limit in this era too.

High-end restaurants have high consumption, and those who come to eat inside are all high-ranking officials and wealthy families. Although there was no obvious distinction between the three, six, and nine, there were some invisible distinctions.

For example, high-ranking officials and nobles who come to eat are mostly arranged in private rooms in the backyard, which is quiet. They can do some unsightly things or discuss some matters without worrying about being seen or heard.

Ordinary guests are placed in the lobby or private rooms on the second floor.

As for the third floor, it is only open to specific guests.

Chen Guanlou directly asked for a private room on the second floor, facing the street, and could see the movement on the street when the window was opened.

He ordered a table full of dishes.

Su Erbao and Su Xiaobao screamed, marveled, rejoiced, and were excited!

"Uncle, so many dishes, can we finish them?"

"Even if another table came, your uncle could finish them." Chen Guanlou said with a smile.

With children around, he didn't want alcohol, only tea, and also some cold drinks. The restaurant provided fruit drinks, which could be frozen or room temperature.

Except for the lack of modern technological products, the overall facilities and service of the restaurant were three-tenths better than high-end restaurants in later generations. The food was even more delicious, and smelling the scent, the gluttonous worms all came out.

Without so many seasonings as in later generations, the chef could still make the food so delicious; his craftsmanship was really good!

The dishes were all served, and Su Erbao and Su Xiaobao ate desperately; their eating manners couldn't be said to be ugly, nor were they good, just ordinary, with room for improvement.

"Eat slowly, no one is grabbing with you! Chewing slowly helps digestion!"

"Uncle, do you come here to eat every day? It's really delicious!"

"Do you like it? If you like it, I'll take you here often."

"Thank you, Uncle!"

Chen Guanlou looked outside casually and saw a familiar person, the Fengyi Lang Jiang Linchuan.

He whistled to attract the other party's attention. Seeing the other party look over, he waved his hand, "Lord Jiang, would you like to have a drink?"

Jiang Linchuan stood on the street and looked up at the second floor.

Little did he know, at this time, there were female guests in the next private room, staring at Jiang Linchuan through the window. Such a beautiful face, girls love handsome men, and they fell in love instantly.

Jiang Linchuan smiled, and the female guests in the next room became even more excited; he was really good-looking!

"I can't refuse your kindness, so I'll bother Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen today."

"Come quickly, come quickly, I'm treating today."

Chen Guanlou was familiar, greeting the other party to go upstairs to eat. He called the waiter again, added a few dishes, and asked for a pot of wine.

Soon, Jiang Linchuan went upstairs, but unexpectedly was blocked by two maids.

"This young master, my master invites you!"

Jiang Linchuan faced the two uninvited maids, smiling but not smiling, "I don't know your master, I have an appointment with a friend, goodbye!"

He avoided the two maids and entered the private room.

Chen Guanlou looked out the door and teased, "As expected of the Jade-Faced Langjun, as soon as you appeared, you were targeted."

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen is too polite! To talk about faces, you and I are evenly matched. Praising me is praising you."

Look, how well the Emperor's Fengyi Lang speaks.

Chen Guanlou laughed happily; he liked talking to smart people. Even if they turned against each other, everyone was polite and had exchanges. No one did the work of throwing harsh words. They were always beautiful on the lips, but ruthless in private, never making a move if they didn't have to, and hitting the target with one blow, killing invisibly.

Only playing like this is interesting!

"These are my two nephews, Erbao, Xiaobao. You don't mind, right."

"I don't mind! I'm here to sponge a meal, so I'll follow the host's convenience!"

"Erbao, Xiaobao, this is Lord Jiang. You call him Uncle Jiang."

"Hello, Uncle Jiang!" The two children called out in unison, crisp and clear, very pleasant to hear.

Jiang Linchuan smiled, and without many items on his body, he decisively took out a jade thumb ring, plus a jade pendant hanging from his waist, "These are the meeting gifts from Uncle to you two."

Erbao and Xiaobao didn't dare to take them and looked at Chen Guanlou.

Chen Guanlou said loudly, "These are meeting gifts from Uncle Jiang, take them all. Remember to thank Uncle Jiang!"

"Thank you, Uncle Jiang."

The two children happily accepted the meeting gifts.

Jiang Linchuan couldn't help but suspect that Chen Guanlou invited him to dinner for the purpose of helping his two nephews ask for meeting gifts. The thumb ring plus the jade pendant were both imperial gifts and were not cheap.

He said directly, "I have to eat more for this meal, at least to get my money back."

"Look at how stingy you are. You work in the Palace, you must have saved a lot of good things. I want two things from you, don't worry, I'll remember this favor. If you have difficulties in the future, if I can help, you can come to me."

"You've heard about the temper of that one in the Palace, my errand is not easy." Jiang Linchuan said casually.

Chen Guanlou smiled but didn't smile, "You get what you ask for! You are a famous figure in the Jianghu for a long time, and you have many choices. But you finally chose this path, even if you have to kneel, you have to walk to the end."

Jiang Linchuan nodded, acknowledging the other party's words, "Yes, even if I have to kneel, I have to walk to the end. As for you, you have been holed up in the Heavenly Prison; I didn't understand before, but after entering the officialdom, I know how wise your choice is. People like us are suitable for running a one-man show in an inconspicuous government office like the Heavenly Prison!"

Chen Guanlou denied it repeatedly, "Don't! I didn't run a one-man show! The B-sized prison in the Heavenly Prison is not under my control, and the logistics and kitchen are not under my control. What kind of one-man show am I. You say I am content with the status quo and easy to satisfy, that's about right." ===== CHAPTER 1322 =====
