Martial arts immortality, I will eventually be invincible
Chapter 455: Thoughts Come True
"The second master was dissatisfied with the prince's handling of the matter and thought that the prince was meddling in other people's business. But the prince contradicted him in person and didn't give the second master any face at all. The prince is the younger generation and the second master is the elder generation. In short, the first and second houses are in a mess. I didn't dare to breathe heavily when I went to work in the Marquis' Mansion."
Sister Chunxiang talked about the gossip in the Marquis' Mansion.
Chen Guanlou listened with relish. This is life. Compared with the life in the villa, the capital is where people stay. You can hear gossip without going out.
Unlike in the villa, you can't find a neighbor within a few miles, let alone gossip.
He is comfortable!
This is how life should be lived.
Chen Xiaolan was very worried, as if she was afraid that the first and second houses of the Marquis' Mansion would fall out and everyone would know about it. "What should we do? The second master is the elder after all."
"But the prince is the heir of the Marquis' Mansion, and he is also the eldest son. Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion must listen to the prince." Chunxiang's wife could tell the difference between the high and low.
In a big family like the Marquis' Mansion, you can't just look at the seniority. Seniority is sometimes important, and sometimes it's not that important.
The rules set by scholars always have many loopholes. As for the truth, they all pick what is beneficial to themselves. It's like people say that a person with a small mind is not a gentleman, while they also say that a man without poison is not a man.
"What didn't the old lady say?" Chen Guanlou was very curious.
Chunxiang's wife lowered her voice, fearing that outsiders would hear it, even though she didn't eavesdrop.
She whispered, "The old lady must be biased towards the second house. But the prince has a strong opinion, and his words are final. The prince's decision is the final decision of the Marquis's Mansion. Even if the old lady came forward, the prince would not give in. The old lady had no better way except to use her status to pressure people.
The prince said that the old lady was ill and needed to rest, and it was not appropriate to disturb her, so he isolated the second house. The people used by the Marquis's Mansion are basically from the first house. The people in the second house can handle ordinary things, but they are not the opponents of the first house when they encounter big things. Moreover, the prince has his own soldiers. When the soldiers stand at the gate of the courtyard, the second house dare not approach."
In the face of absolute strength, all tricks are in vain.
Sure enough, the eldest master is easier to get along with.
When the eldest master was in the mansion, he basically didn't care about things, and the second house lived a very chic life.
The prince and the eldest master have completely different styles of doing things. Either don't take action, or once you take action, it is thundering means, and no one can do it.
Chen Guanlou sighed.
"Has the second house just stopped fighting?"
"Of course. Everyone has been sent away, so no matter how angry you are, you have to hold it in. Alas, this is hard for us servants. The atmosphere in the Marquis's Mansion is solemn, and we servants have to be careful. I have to go to the Marquis's Mansion to help tomorrow. It's the end of the year, and there are too many banquets. The Marquis's Mansion will be busy until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."
Wealthy families have many social events during festivals, and the number of servants required increases exponentially. Houseborn children who have no errands on weekdays are the best temporary workers. First, their status is reassuring, second, they are quick and nimble, and third, they know how to do things.
Chunxiang's wife can actually solve part of the family's expenses by doing odd jobs for the Marquis's Mansion every year. The couple works hard to support several children.
"Do I have to come to pay New Year's greetings this year?" Chen Xiaolan was a little uneasy.
"Just do your duty. The internal struggles in the Marquis's Mansion have nothing to do with us." Chen Guanlou comforted Chen Xiaolan and told her not to think too much.
…
After returning to the capital, Chen Guanlou was not in a hurry to return to Tianlao to work.
He decided to continue his vacation until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
However, he invited several squad leaders to come out and prepare a table of first-class food at Guanmeilou to keep in touch with everyone and talk about Tianlao gossip.
After that, he invited several trusted subordinates separately.
During this period, he took the time to quietly return to Tianlao to visit his old friend, King Daming, and confirmed that King Daming was still alive and well.
He also met Doctor Mu.
He was particularly grateful to Doctor Mu.
Because King Daming was poisoned several times in a row, and it was all thanks to Doctor Mu's superb medical skills that he saved people.
Chen Guanlou was too lazy to investigate who poisoned the King Daming, and it was that traitor who took the benefits of outsiders and poisoned King Daming. A sieve should have the consciousness of a sieve.
Chen Guanlou took Doctor Mu to the pleasure boat under the pretext of treating guests, called the most beautiful and best singing girl, spent a lot of money, and was served comfortably all night.
Doctor Mu looked at him and said, "You don't look like you have just recovered from a serious injury."
"I haven't recovered yet, I still have internal injuries. If you don't believe me, take my pulse."
Doctor Mu actually took his pulse.
Changing the pulse was easy for Chen Guanlou. He easily got away with it.
Doctor Mu clicked his tongue twice, "With such a serious injury, you don't know how to take good care of yourself, and you still have the mind to go out and have fun. Aren't you afraid of being drained out?"
"Thank you for your concern, Old Mu. It's definitely not draining out. I can't die with this body."
Doctor Mu sneered twice, "You are now famous, is it appropriate for you to continue to stay in the Tianlao?"
"Nothing is inappropriate. I am a simple person, not for fame, but for money. Tianlao is very suitable for me."
"Have you ever thought that you might bring danger to other jailers?"
Chen Guanlou was silent for a rare moment, "When that day comes, I will deal with it."
"I'm afraid it's too late."
"Old Mu, you can't wait for me to leave Tianlao, right? Am I in your eyes?"
"You don't bother me, but what I said is also true. You are no longer an unknown person. On the contrary, you have caught the attention of many people. I don't know how many people are paying attention to you in secret, trying to find out the secrets about you. Under normal circumstances, people like you should be treated as guests of honor by wealthy families, or enter the sect to be an elder or something, or work for the court."
"I am working for the court now."
"A government office like Tianlao doesn't need a master like you to work hard, which is a waste of natural resources."
Medical Officer Mu's words are not pleasant to hear, but what he said is the truth, and it is also the universal rule of doing things.
It is very abnormal that the Hou Mansion does not use Chen Guanlou and lets him live in Tianlao. If it were not for the Hou Mansion and considering Chen Guanlou's surname, someone would have come to win him over and offered him an olive branch.
It is precisely because everyone knows that Chen Guanlou's surname is Chen, and he will definitely not betray the Chen family and will not be used by others. Therefore, everyone just observes secretly and does not contact him.
There are many warriors these days, but high-level warriors are an absolutely scarce resource. If one comes out, he will be won over and included in his sphere of influence.
People like Chen Guanlou, who are obviously powerful, but walk around the streets every day, work in the prison, and have no sense of being a high-level warrior, are extremely rare.
On weekdays, let alone eighth and ninth-level warriors, even third and fourth-level warriors are rarely seen.
Chen Guanlou ate wine and food, chuckled, and said: "In my opinion, the higher the strength, the more free you are. Not to say that you can do whatever you want, at least when you work normally, no one should come out to stop you. If you are powerful, you are not as free as a pawn, hehe..." He took a sip of wine and sneered, "At worst, just kill them. If you kill a lot, you will understand other people's thoughts."
