Chapter 1402: Marrying into the Xie family, are you crazy!

Monk Jueneng stood under the eaves, watching Chen Guanlou leave.

He was indifferent on the surface, calm and waveless, but in reality, his heart was already thundering with lightning, a storm was coming, setting off monstrous waves.

"Why does Master have to be threatened by him!"

A disciple muttered in a low voice, holding injustice for him.

Monk Jueneng took a deep breath and said seriously: "From today on, I will go into seclusion. If the palace asks, tell the truth. Move the books in the Scripture Pavilion into my courtyard; I want to read the scriptures."

"Yes!" The disciple responded and went to carry out the order.

After the person left, Jueneng grabbed the door frame, as if his body could no longer bear the burden, and cold sweat broke out.

That was the consequence of suffering strong stimulation.

The shock in his heart was beyond words.

Is there really a way to the immortal world?

Can one really find a way to the immortal world?

Can one really go to the cultivation world?

What calmness, what immovability like a mountain, was all pretended.

Hearing the word "cultivating immortality," even a monk had greed. Instead, it was not as open-minded as Pure Yang Zhenren in the neighboring Yuquan Palace. Still too young; although Buddhist teachings are profound, he lacks a deep understanding of himself and human nature, and deliberately suppresses his desires.

Just as Chen Guanlou said, not being able to face one's desires and not knowing how to guide them will sooner or later lead to Qi deviation.

A genius must also learn to lower his head, absorb experience and lessons from others, and reflect on himself. Those who can reflect are the strongest.

The mistake a genius is most afraid of making is arrogance!

Other mistakes can be corrected, but only arrogance is incurable!

Chen Guanlou, this devil, planted a seed in Jueneng's heart, and now the seed has begun to sprout.

He knows how to ruin people's Dao heart!

Too bad!

Chen Guanlou whistled, reunited with his eldest sister Chen Xiaolan, and ate a tasteless vegetarian meal.

He said to his eldest sister: "Next time you eat vegetarian food, don't call me. I don't like to eat it."

"You have to eat even if you don't like it! You even dislike the Bodhisattva's vegetarian food. Used to eating big fish and meat, eating a vegetarian meal, look at how wronged you are. You just have too good a life, forgetting the suffering you endured back then."

"Precisely because I suffered too much bitterness back then, I cannot wrong myself even more. Chen Xiaolan, you also don't wrong yourself. My money is enough for your family to live in wealth for ten lifetimes; don't be too hard."

"Your money is your money; what does it have to do with me? I run the teahouse happily; don't say unlucky words. Be careful I beat you."

Chen Xiaolan couldn't win the argument, so she directly suppressed it with force.

Chen Guanlou closed his mouth decisively!

Deeply realized again that there is no reason to talk to women!

Next time, just send money directly!

If the sister doesn't accept it, the nephew will definitely accept it. If he doesn't accept it, beat him!

He has no psychological burden to beat his nephew at all. As long as he doesn't beat him to death or disability.

Returning to the capital, with nothing to do, he simply went to find the big housekeeper, Qiangge, to drink.

Chen Guanqiang was very happy to see him. "The Heir was talking about you two days ago."

"I heard the Heir added two more sons, one of whom is legitimate; congratulations. When will the hundred-day wine be held? I will send a thick gift."

"It will be held, it will be held; I will notify you then. Not only is there another legitimate son, but the Heir also wants to find a marriage for Zhao Ge'er, and is busy looking for a suitable candidate for a daughter-in-law."

Chen Mengzhao is the legitimate eldest son of Chen Guanfu, the future successor of the Hou Fu, and the grandson who inherits the heavy responsibility! The next head of the Chen clan.

The candidate for his wife naturally needs to be cautious and cautious, not only to bear the heavy responsibility of spreading branches and leaves, but also to bear the heavy responsibility of managing the Hou Fu and being the clan wife. First, she must have a family background, second, she must be well-read, must be legitimate—adoption and recording names don't count—and finally, she must have a good body.

The clan wife is tired!

Everything needs to be worried about.

Even if there are servants to send, she herself has to spend effort.

Without a good body, she cannot bear the heavy burden of the Hou Fu's clan wife, and cannot raise healthy children.

This is even more stringent than picking a son-in-law.

Don't even think about beautiful girls from small families; they don't even have the qualifications to be a warm-bed maid.

Hou Fu marriage, I estimate it is one grade lower than royal marriage. Royal marriage, I estimate, is not as cautious as Hou Fu marriage!

The end of careless marriage is like the Jia family in Dream of the Red Chamber, it's a mess!

If the royal family marries the wrong daughter-in-law, as long as the country doesn't fall, even if a hundred years pass, three or five generations, there is still a chance to set things right. It doesn't even need that long; one or two generations can correct the mistake.

If the Hou Fu marries the wrong daughter-in-law, I'm afraid they won't live past three generations before the nine clans are eliminated.

Don't underestimate the destructive power of a woman.

The vivid example of the Tang Dynasty is there for later generations to comment on.

"To marry a wife for Zhao Ge'er, is there a target?" Chen Guanlou asked casually.

"There are a few targets; after they are suitable, arrangements will be made to see them. In fact, during banquets on weekdays, they have also met. But that is not a formal meeting after all; it still needs to go through a process to show respect!"

"Who does the Heir most want to marry?" Chen Guanlou was very curious.

"What do you think of the Xie family?"

"The Xie family of Xie Changling? Are you crazy." Chen Guanlou was very surprised. "The Xie family is one of the top aristocratic families in the world. Chen Mengzhao's studies are not successful, and his martial arts are just okay. He shouldn't meet the Xie family's standards for choosing a son-in-law. Furthermore, literature and martial arts are different; given the current situation in the court, the Emperor cannot sit and watch the Hou Fu marry the Xie family."

"The standards for choosing a son-in-law can be changed. As for the Emperor's view, it is indeed very important, but it is not impossible to reconcile. The Marquis has already made concessions, serving as the General Manager of Immigration."

"The Marquis is still the commander in the Northwest, commanding more than 100,000 regular troops. Xie Changling is the representative of the Xie family, the Prime Minister, and the Emperor's most beloved pillar. A warlord and a Prime Minister marrying—do you know how serious this is?"

Chen Guanlou had to remind the other party not to dream!

Reality is reality, not a dream.

Chen Guanqiang laughed awkwardly. "I'm just talking casually, discussing, discussing!"

Chen Guanlou sneered. "As long as the Emperor is not stupid and hasn't gone crazy, he won't allow the two families to marry. Unless one side is willing to give up the power in their hands."

"That's impossible! However, maybe in two years the Marquis won't be in the Northwest; I think there is still room for operation."

Chen Guanlou snorted. "Looking for the Xie family is not as good as looking for the Yu family."

"The Yu family won't do. The Yu family is far worse than the Xie family."

The Xie family is now the leader and spiritual leader of all aristocratic families in the world.

One word from Xie Changling, one promise, can mobilize the power of all aristocratic families in the south—money if they want money, grain if they want grain, people if they want people, and they would almost directly give military equipment. If it weren't for the fact that making military equipment is equivalent to rebellion, providing military equipment wouldn't be impossible.

Such powerful appeal, plus a Hou Fu holding military power—if they really marry and combine into one, the Emperor wouldn't dare to close his eyes to sleep. He would worry at any time that his head would be cut off in the middle of the night.

"That's about enough! You, this big housekeeper, come up with bad ideas. Afraid the Hou Fu isn't eye-catching enough, afraid you won't poke the Emperor's heart."

Chen Guanlou was very disgusted and spoke directly.

Words like marrying the Xie family can also be said. Do you really think the Hou Fu is a sweet pastry that everyone wants to curry favor with? Don't even look at the civil officials; they wish they could eliminate the Hou Fu's nine clans immediately! ===== CHAPTER 1403 =====
