Chapter 1403: A new eunuch has arrived

~7 min read 1,354 words

"Chen Guanfu definitely won't listen to your bad ideas!"

Chen Guanlou concluded directly.

Chen Guanfu is not a brainless person; he is too late to be low-key, how dare he marry high-profile.

Choosing a marriage family among the noble martial arts families is about enough. Following tradition, even if the Emperor is dissatisfied, he has to pinch his nose and admit it.

Qiangge has a different view. "You think Xie Changling doesn't covet military power? It's just that he doesn't have the opportunity to get involved."

"He covets it, but he doesn't intend to offend the Emperor, and even less intends to be a rebel. You only consider human desires, not the political situation. I tell you, compared to your father, your political literacy is far behind. You still have a lot to learn. Don't worry about Zhao Ge'er's marriage."

Chen Guanlou spoke directly, not giving any face at all.

Chen Guanqiang bared his teeth, quite unconvinced.

"Don't be convinced. Write a letter to your father with your thoughts, and wait and see; if your father were here, he would definitely kill you. How could he give birth to such a stupid son."

"I'm not stupid! Otherwise, I couldn't be a big housekeeper."

"You're not stupid, just lacking experience, lacking long-term vision. Don't just look at benefits, also look at risks."

Chen Guanlou taught the other party sincerely.

"Don't be too shallow in life, unless you have no pursuit, and your position doesn't require you to have a pursuit. But you, definitely not. You are the big housekeeper of the Marquis Mansion; you must have a pursuit. Learn more, read more history books; if you can't read them, reading storybooks is fine. On that, if you remove the erotic and bloody content, it's actually about human feelings and worldly wisdom, about weighing interests. I ask you, when you were studying, were your grades good?"

Chen Guanqiang didn't know why he asked this, but still said honestly: "It's okay, I even passed the Tong Sheng exam."

Chen Guanlou nodded. "Barely okay. In the end, it's still that you read too few books. If you could pass the Xiucai exam, your brain wouldn't be so stupid."

Chen Guanqiang laughed. "You're not even a Tong Sheng, and you can still laugh at me."

"Although I'm not even a Tong Sheng, I have never forgotten to study all these years, reading every day. Plus, my brain is smart, I can draw inferences, and I work in the special place of the Heavenly Prison; I am much more powerful than you."

"You still read every day; you can really say that." Chen Guanqiang laughed loudly.

Chen Guanlou rolled his eyes at the other party. "Reading storybooks is also reading; why doesn't it count?"

Chen Guanqiang laughed until he couldn't straighten his waist. "This is the first time I've heard today that reading storybooks can be called reading every day. You open your mouth and lower the standard of reading every day. You're really something."

"Look, you're not as good as me. I can shamelessly praise myself without feeling guilty; can you?" Chen Guanlou was shameless. Sure enough, his face is thick enough to be a city wall.

This time it was Qiangge's turn to break his defense. He wiped his face. "Sigh, you're right, I'm not as good as you. I don't have your thick skin, nor your smart brain. Come, toast to us group of people who can't pass the imperial examination, drink!"

Next, the two boasted to each other until midnight before dispersing.

Chen Guanlou was half-drunk and half-sober, swaying back home, and incidentally burped.

He shouted to the roof, "Come over and boil water for tea; I'll give you a chance to monitor from close range!"

A strange middle-aged eunuch appeared.

Chen Guanlou looked at the other party. "Where did Eunuch Wang Hai go?"

"Eunuch Wang is out of the capital on official business and will return at the earliest next month."

"Doesn't matter. What's your name?"

"This humble servant is Huiming."

"Monk?"

"This humble servant's surname is Hui!"

"Is there this surname?" Chen Guanlou looked suspicious; did he lie to him that he hadn't read the Hundred Family Surnames? Or did he study not hard enough and miss it?

"Of course there is!"

"Fine, if you say there is, there is. Eunuch Hui, trouble you to boil water for tea. You must know where the tea leaves are; I won't introduce them. My little courtyard, how many times have you stepped on it?"

"Warden Chen is joking! This humble servant is entering your mansion for the first time; before, I was always outside, only watching, not stepping on it."

Chen Guanlou sneered, not believing a word.

He lay flat on the lounge chair like an old master, ordering Eunuch Huiming around, treating the other party like a servant.

"Eunuch Hui looks old; how old are you this year?"

"Warden Chen is polite; this humble servant is thirty-eight!"

"You must have been in the palace for thirty years."

"No, this humble servant has only been in the palace for twenty years."

"You entered the palace quite late. Do you have children? Are you reconciled?" Chen Guanlou was truly curious, not to provoke the other party.

Eunuch Hui was silent for a moment, but still said honestly: "I have two children."

"Congratulations!"

"No need to congratulate!"

"Where did Eunuch Hui work before, and what duty are you doing in the palace now?"

"I would like to inform Warden Chen, this humble servant worked in a wealthy family before, and later something happened, so I entered the palace. Currently, I am on duty at the Imperial Horse Prison."

Chen Guanlou raised an eyebrow slightly. "No wonder Eunuch Hui's body is so strong."

He looked at the strong Eunuch Huiming; the palace knows how to choose people.

"You also worshipped Eunuch Wei as a godfather?" He was very curious.

In the palace, only the old guy surnamed Wei is tireless in sending people to monitor.

"This humble servant is stupid; Eunuch Wei doesn't look up to me. However, being able to be driven by Eunuch Wei is a fortunate thing."

"You are honest."

Chen Guanlou smiled that wasn't a smile.

"Approaching me so actively, answering my questions so friendly, are you trying to imitate Wang Hai, become brothers with me, and earn some pocket money?"

"If Warden Chen looks up to this humble servant, this humble servant is willing to share worries for you."

Haha...

Chen Guanlou laughed loudly.

This bunch of eunuchs really loves money.

"I'm not busy recently, nothing to order. Next time, next time there is a chance, we can try to cooperate."

"Thank you Warden Chen for giving me a chance."

"Eunuch Hui is polite."

The water was boiled, the tea was brewed, and Chen Guanlou enjoyed it. He let the other party be at ease and drink tea with him. If he thought drinking tea was too monotonous, he could go outside and arrange a table of wine and food. The restaurants were all closed, but the brothels were still open. Brothels also provide takeout, and the craftsmanship is very good!

He directly took out a fifty-tael silver note. "Trouble you to run a trip. I eat everything, no taboos. It doesn't matter if the taste is heavy!"

Eunuch Hui took the silver note and left.

Chen Guanlou's smiling face instantly closed, and the whole person became exceptionally irritable and gloomy.

A moment later, he mocked himself again, seemingly thinking it through.

Wei Wubing, the old eunuch.

He has plenty of time, sooner or later he will slaughter the other party.

And Zhou Mobai, that lunatic, must be eliminated.

Speaking of which, there are really many Ninth Rank martial artists in the palace. Wang Hai is one, Huiming is one.

Wait...

Surname Hui?

This surname, have I seen it somewhere?

He should have an impression.

A young man who is already married and has children, why enter the palace to be a eunuch? Either he is at the end of his rope, or he is forced? What is Huiming's situation? ===== CHAPTER 1404 =====
