Chapter 1781

In the blink of an eye, it was the sixth year of Yuanding.

In the first month, there were banquets every day.

Eating from one house to another.

After eating, Chen Guanlou braved the cold wind and went to the three-entry mansion.

Seeing him return, Lady Gu was happy, her eyebrows curved, and she served him with great care.

"Is Master returning from the Hou Fu?"

Chen Guanlou rested his head on her lap, feeling the warmth in his arms, and took a deep breath, as if he were drunk.

"During the day, big sister came over."

Seeing him silent, Lady Gu talked to herself.

"Big sister cares about you very much and asked when we will have children."

Lady Gu paid attention to his expression, wanting to glimpse some real thoughts from it.

Chen Guanlou closed his eyes to rest, "Big sister's words, don't take them to heart, we'll talk about children later. Did big sister say anything else?"

"Regarding Xuewen's marriage, big sister wants to ask the Hou Fu to come forward as a matchmaker. I heard her meaning, the Hou Fu seems to feel that Xuewen's job is slightly lower, and wants to see if they can donate a title for him and change to another job."

"Too many things all day long." Chen Guanlou was a little impatient.

Even if he wants to donate an official position and embark on an official career, he should at least spend three to five years. First let Su Xuewen practice in the yamen, figure out the core of the government's operation, and figure out the human relationships here. At that time, embarking on an official career will surely be like a fish in water.

How many officials in the world are played by local clerks in the palm of their hands.

Being an official is not something you can do well just by reading a lot. You must be sophisticated in human relationships and figure out the government's operating mechanism.

How many people have been officials for decades, still muddled, and their minds are still that set of idealism.

There is nothing wrong with idealism, it's just not suitable for the officialdom, it's easy to do bad things with good intentions, and it's easy to become a stepping stone for others.

"Big sister is also idle."

Chen Guanlou muttered.

Lady Gu didn't dare to continue this topic, and smartly brought up other things, saying who came to give gifts, saying who sent a post to invite for drinks & all were some family trifles.

Chen Guanlou's mood indeed calmed down.

"No one from the Gu family came to find you, right."

"We have already broken off the relationship, how could they have the face to come to find me." Lady Gu bit her lip, slightly sharp and mean.

Chen Guanlou chuckled, gently stroking her cheek, "Follow me wholeheartedly, and I will naturally not treat you badly. Don't have other thoughts, I don't like you hiding things. Do you remember?"

"Master, don't worry, I know. Whatever is on my mind, I won't hide it from Master."

"Very good!"

The atmosphere was just right, Chen Guanlou turned over and pressed the person under him, about to have a battle between men and women. He suddenly woke up, his eyes clear, not a bit drunk.

He put on his outer robe and said to the girl, "You rest first, don't wait for me tonight."

As the words fell, he was already outside.

"Monk, it's actually you. It's the New Year, you don't stay in the temple, what are you doing running to my place?"

Chen Guanlou looked at the monk Jingnan in front, very surprised. Thinking carefully, it was also within reason.

Jingnan had an expressionless face, "Master is out of seclusion and wants to see the benefactor. I don't know if it's convenient for the benefactor."

"Convenient, of course convenient."

Chen Guanlou promised to meet, but his feet didn't move.

Jingnan the monk looked puzzled.

Chen Guanlou smiled awkwardly, he couldn't just say directly that he suspected Master Liaowu had set up a Hongmen banquet for him. He had many thoughts, "Can I bring someone with me?"

"Bring who?"

"Sect elder."

"This poor monk has never heard that you have a sect." Jingnan the monk looked surprised.

"I didn't have one before, but now I do."

Chen Guanlou smiled smugly, called Wu Ming, and accompanied him on a trip to Daxiang Temple.

Wu Ming lived in a villa in the city for a long time, practicing the martial path, creating techniques, and burning himself for the Tianlou Sect.

Instead, Chen Guanlou, the nominal sect leader, often forgot that there was a Tianlou Sect behind him, and had fooled several people into joining the sect in one breath back then.

Afterwards, he lay on the chair, acting as a hands-off manager, ignoring the big and small affairs of the sect.

However, his majesty as the sect leader remained.

Wu Ming was a loyal and stubborn person. He did whatever he was told, without asking why.

Jingnan the monk saw Wu Ming and was very surprised.

Because he saw at a glance that Wu Ming was a eunuch.

Actually a eunuch.

He wanted to speak but stopped, his heart was full of questions, but he never had the chance to ask.

The three of them headed straight for Daxiang Temple.

Zen room on the back mountain.

Chen Guanlou signaled Wu Ming to guard the door, "Listen to my call, if I say 'do you', you rush in and just kill. Don't ask anything else."

"If the sect leader says nothing..."

"Then you honestly guard the door and watch the door for me. Do you remember?"

Wu Ming nodded, "Remembered. Sect leader, who is inside?"

"An old guy."

Chen Guanlou patted the other party's shoulder, then stepped into the Zen room courtyard gate, crossed the courtyard, and walked into the Zen room.

Master Liaowu, who was imagined to have a technique to maintain youth, was actually a little old man, dry and thin, with skin wrinkled layer by layer. It was difficult to accurately judge his age.

Some people believe he is sixty or seventy.

Some people think he looks like eighty or ninety.

Some people must believe he is over a hundred.

Chen Guanlou knelt on the mat, and a cup of hot tea had already been placed on the coffee table.

He was face to face with the other party.

"Seen Master!"

Master Liaowu slowly opened his eyes, his eyes clear, like a boy who didn't know the world.

Facing such a gaze, Chen Guanlou's heart jumped, feeling very guilty, and a feeling of self-abasement arose in his heart.

How can the filthy self face such a thorough gaze.

Not worthy!

Chen Guanlou woke up suddenly!

Not worthy?!

What a joke!

He has always been a person with a very high sense of worthiness; there is no person or thing in this world that he is not worthy of.

Why did he feel self-abasement for a moment just now.

He was influenced.

His heart was angry, and he smiled self-deprecatingly, "Master has such profound cultivation, killing invisibly! The junior admires!"

"Amitabha. Benefactor can break free from delusions and fantasies in a short time, which shows that his cultivation is extraordinary! What is even more admirable is that the benefactor has already stepped into the grandmaster realm at such an age, which is something to be happy about!"

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows, "Master's eyes are like torches, breaking through confusion, peeping at the truth, which is truly admirable. No one has been able to break through my true cultivation at first sight, Master is the first person."

Denying his own cultivation is unnecessary!

The other party had already seen through his cultivation, all concealment means were broken, why deceive himself, paint a snake and add feet, and add to the laughter.

"Dare to ask Master what technique you practice? The junior is truly curious?"

"Amitabha, this poor monk practices Buddhist law. Buddhist law can distinguish demons and monsters, and naturally can also distinguish truth from falsehood!"

Chen Guanlou chuckled, "It's my shallowness. My cultivation is not enough, I made a joke, please don't blame me, Master."

"No problem! Benefactor has no sect, no master to guide, relying purely on his own understanding, walking to this day in just over twenty years, it can be called a miracle."

Master Liaowu half-drooped his eyelids, looking old and weak.

If he hadn't been confused by the other party as soon as he entered the door and almost fell for it, Chen Guanlou would have mistaken the other party for a useless old man.

Liaowu is much more dangerous than Liechen.
