Chapter 535: Really Not Mocking

If a person's eyes could kill, Chen Guanlou would already be bloody and blurry all over.

Zhang Wenfu was so angry and ashamed, so powerless and furious.

"If Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen wants to ridicule me, just say so."

"Don't you know I was promoted? Or is it because your parents didn't fish you out, you didn't have time to pay attention to the things around you? You have to call this official Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen now."

Chen Guanlou kindly reminded him.

Zhang Wenfu's brain twitched, full of anger. "Dare to ask what advice Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen has."

"Just want to ask you, do you have a way to collect the articles of Zhuangyuan and Jieyuan of all ages. If you help me, I don't mind helping you once, asking about the situation at the Zhang family for you, to see if your father and mother really forgot about you."

"My parents couldn't have forgotten about me. They are just entangled in worldly affairs and unable to separate themselves."

"Yes, yes, yes, you are all right. It seems you don't need me to ask about your father and mother for you. Alright, I'll go find the next one. The whole prison is full of scholars; there will always be someone willing to share worries for this official."

"Slow down." Zhang Wenfu called Chen Guanlou. "I didn't say I couldn't help; why is Master Chen so eager. One matter doesn't bother two masters; collecting articles of all ages, finding me is finding the right person."

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled secretly. "Young Master Zhang is righteous. Not asking for return to share worries for me, rare!"

Zhang Wenfu was a bit embarrassed, twisted for a while, and then said: "When did this young master say he didn't ask for return. According to the rules of the Heavenly Prison, since it is a transaction, I share worries for Master Chen, and also please Master Chen to share worries for me."

"You say!"

Chen Guanlou saw the good and stopped, not continuing to stimulate the other party. Young people have thin skin, and being told about their embarrassing situation, it is inevitable to be impulsive. If it were an old slicker in officialdom, let alone parents not caring, even if the wife gave him a green hat, he could still be calm and spit on his face.

Mixing in officialdom, without a strong heart, without a face as thick as a city wall, you can't mix out at all.

Zhang Wenfu gritted his teeth, thought about it, and solving his own trouble was the most important thing; face or something was temporarily useless.

He whispered: "Can you help me pass a word to my mother, telling her to hurry up and fish me out. The new Emperor ascended the throne, everything is renewed, it is the time for our generation to show talent, share worries for the imperial court, and share worries for the Emperor. As a court official, I have an unshirkable responsibility; how can I lag behind others."

Chen Guanlou looked at the other party with a smile that was not a smile. If you want someone to fish you out, just fish; it's not shameful. Why say it so grandly, with a look of "who else but me".

The key is, the momentum of "who else but me" is insufficient, the face is still not as thick as Yu Zhaoan and the others, slightly guilty. A sonorous and powerful speech, but the result is tiger head and snake tail, causing people to laugh.

He tried hard to hold back his laughter. "Alright, alright, alright, I will help you bring the words. However, if your mother is unwilling to exert effort, you kid cannot vent your anger. You have been in the Heavenly Prison for so long, you should understand that our Heavenly Prison upholds the principle of collecting money and doing things, treating everyone equally, and never engaging in deception. Even Jiang Tu, we collected money and could run errands, right."

"My mother couldn't not care about me. You just bring the words, tell my mother, I want to go out, as soon as possible. If it's late, the opportunity will be gone."

"The articles of all ages I want..."

"Give them to you. My family has a ready-made library, articles of Zhuangyuan, Bangyan, and Tanhua of all ages are all there. There are also annotations by famous teachers on them. This is a private collection, and it cannot be bought outside. Only official families like our Zhang family have such genuine collections. But I can only give you a copy, the original cannot be given to you. The original is a collectible, worth a fortune."

"A copy is fine, I don't dislike it."

Zhang Wenfu finally used his brain this time. "Does Master Chen want to take the imperial examination? This kind of article, actually you go find the Marquis's Mansion, they certainly have channels to collect."

"I don't take the imperial examination; I am collecting for others."

Zhang Wenfu guessed with a sour tone, "I don't know who is so lucky to get Master Chen's full help. You tell the person taking the imperial examination, if they can get my Zhang family's collection and still can't pass the examination, then it's really a wooden brain, don't read, just hurry up and find an errand to support the family."

"Alright, I will pass this advice of yours to the kid taking the imperial examination. You just find your mother to fish you out, not find your father?"

"My father..." Zhang Wenfu gritted his teeth. "He is too busy. The new Emperor ascended the throne, thousands of things, don't bother him. This matter is handled by my mother, it can be done the same."

When Chen Guanlou was about to leave, he suddenly asked curiously, "Are you biological?"

"Of course! Master Chen, what do you mean by this?"

"Hahaha... nothing. Gao Shiliu next door has gone out, and you are still locked in the prison, so this official is a bit curious."

Zhang Wenfu was angry and ashamed, shouting angrily: "That's because Prince Yan is gone, so Gao Shiliu could go out early."

Prince Yan, without accident, passed away.

The funeral was held silently.

Because it was next to the national mourning, the new Emperor personally issued a decree, not to hold a big funeral, and not to grab the limelight of the late Emperor.

Prince Yan is bitter!

When alive, he was poisoned, and the throne was snatched. When dead, he couldn't be buried gloriously.

The Prince Yan line hated the Emperor Jian Shi Emperor to death, but was helpless.

Under imperial power, everyone has to bow their heads.

The Gao family is the maternal clan of Prince Yan; Prince Yan lost, and the Gao family naturally lost too. However, the Gao family is safe. Prince Yan died, but the Gao family's wealth and honor were preserved. Overall, the Gao family can be considered a small loss, completely affordable.

Prince Jin next door, hehe, wait a few years to see, maybe it will be miserable.

"Gao Shiliu, a white body, could go out, and you are an official." Chen Guanlou teased, he really didn't mean to satirize.

However, Zhang Wenfu determined that he was satirizing. "Master Chen seems to like watching my jokes very much? Could it be because of Brother Ye? Did Brother Ye ever offend Master Chen."

"Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! I have no grievances with Young Master Ye; properly speaking, we haven't dealt with each other many times, how could there be offense. You officials like to fill in the brain. Alright, alright, this official is very busy, so I won't chat with you."

Chen Guanlou let Qian Fugui run a trip to the Zhang family for him.

Qian Fugui took the initiative to study, and had a bit of literary spirit, obviously more decent than Xiao Jin and the others.

Dealing with official families, pay a little attention, and things will go more smoothly.

Qian Fugui took the errand and ran to the Zhang family excitedly, but returned in disappointment.

He told Chen Guanlou, "Didn't see Madam Zhang."

"Books? Did you get the books back?"

"The books were obtained; it is said to be a handwritten copy. Master, please look."

Articles of all ages, divided into upper, middle, and lower volumes, a total of three books. Although it is a handwritten copy, the handwriting is neat, and the annotations by famous teachers are all there.

Treasure!

These few books are worth a thousand gold for scholars and cannot be exchanged.

Chen Guanlou was barely satisfied with Qian Fugui's errand. "Not bad, not bad, it's good to get the books back. What does Madam Zhang mean? She doesn't plan to fish out her precious son? Is Zhang Wenfu not her biological son?" ===== CHAPTER 536 =====
