The matter was settled. The eldest uncle in the clan immediately made the decision and called his youngest son over and asked him to toast Chen Guanlou. "From now on, you will work with Brother Lou and listen to Brother Lou in everything. If he tells you to go east, you must go east. Don't be ridiculous. Brother Lou is teaching you for your own good. If you are not convinced , Brother Lou doesn’t need to do anything, I’ll convince you first, remember?” Chen Guanxin is only one year younger than Chen Guanlou. When they were young, they studied together in the family private school, and they had a close relationship. Chen Guanxin has always disliked Chen Guanlou. His impression of Chen Guanlou was still that of when he was a student. He was pedantic, poor and did not know how to adapt. His eyes were on the top of his head, "Dad, I don't want to go to the prison." "If you don't go to the prison, where do you want to go? Bastard, if you dare to say no again, I will break your legs right now." Chen Guanxin's calves trembled when his father showed off his power, and he had already developed a stress reaction. But he still wanted to struggle to the death, "But, you didn't say that Tianlao is a cheap industry, and Chen Guanlou is willing to fall..." "Shut up, me." The uncle in the clan was furious and his face was ashen. However, he possesses the essence of Sichuan Opera's face-changing. One second he was still a strict father and raised his son, but the next second he was full of joy and said apologetically: "Xiaolou, don't listen to the nonsense of the brat. Earlier, the uncle didn't understand the situation of Tianlao, and he did say You said some nonsense. But now that uncle knows what you are capable of, the past is over, don’t you think?” Chen Guanlou understood in his heart, pursed his lips and smiled, "Uncle, you're welcome. Uncle is not the only one who doesn't understand the situation in Tianlao. I understand, I understand, and I never take it to heart."
"That's great! Young people should learn from you. If you can hold a boat with a big belly, you will definitely be able to do great things in the future." "He is only a jailer for a day, what big things can he do!" Chen Guanxin's ability to use a knife is truly remarkable. Just stab his own father in the back. The eldest brother in the clan couldn't stand this stupid son anymore, so he jumped up and beat him with his fists. Everyone hurriedly tried to persuade them and pulled the two father and son apart, "Calm down your anger, calm down your anger." "Why does the elder brother have to be as knowledgeable as the new brother?" "The new brother is still young. Just wait until he becomes sensible after three to five years of experience." "As you get older, don't get angry with young people, or your anger will ruin your health." While listening to the chaotic words of persuasion, the elder uncle felt sad. He pointed at his youngest son and roared: "Chen Guanxin, I ask you for the last time, are you obedient? Do you want to follow Brother Lou?" Chen Guanxin was really frightened. He had never seen his biological father in such hurt and pain. He had aged ten years for nothing. He was so guilty that he knelt down subconsciously, "Dad, can't I just listen to you? You want me to follow Chen Guanlou, no problem. It's not just being a jailer, I can bear this hardship. Dad, can you?" Don’t let your misfortune happen. My son can’t bear the infamy that will make you angry! Dad, if you are not feeling well, you can survive for ten and a half months..." "I'll beat you to death, you unfilial son." A new round of father-son war begins again. The meal today was really worth it. Not only did they enjoy a fine banquet, the chef's ancestor was also an imperial chef, but they also witnessed a happy family relationship between father and son. With the wine in full swing, some members of the clan were actively planning to pay their respects to the old lady, the second master, and the two ladies. The eldest uncle in the clan made the decision, "Let the younger generation go, all of them. Most of the younger generation have never seen the old lady and the two ladies. It would be good to take this opportunity to show up." Chen Guanlou didn't want to go, but now he seems to be the richest among his peers. There must be families richer than him, and there are many of them. But there is really no one among the younger generation who has more money than him. Young people have no way of making a living and rely on their families' monthly financial expenses every month. Even if there are five taels of silver a month, plus a little more during the New Year, it will only be seven or eighty taels a year. Chen Guanlou's monthly income is more than this amount. If he didn't go, none of the younger generation would be able to do anything. Young people who can do it all follow the old man to the front line to earn military merit. So, he had to go and take the lead.
The uncle of the family patted him on the shoulder and said, "To put it bluntly, you are also a person who makes a living in the officialdom. When you get in front of the old lady, there is no harm in saying more auspicious words. " Chen Guanlou nodded. Now that he has decided to pay his respects, he will definitely get things done. He is not the kind of person who reluctantly does something and deliberately messes it up with resentment. He is a person who does it or not. Once he decides to do something, he will put aside all prejudices and resentments and do things well. When doing things, you can't end up in a situation where you're not being able to please both sides. "Don't worry, uncle, it's not just a greeting. I've been in the Yamen and I've paid greetings to the superiors countless times, so I know what's appropriate." "This puts me at ease. Go, go. Go early and come back early. We will continue drinking when we come back." Chen Guanlou and a dozen young people of his generation followed the leading steward and went to the backyard of the Hou Mansion to pay their respects. The front yard of the Hou Mansion looks dignified and grand. After entering the backyard, I discovered that there is a different world, two words: luxury! In the winter, the flowers in the garden are in full bloom. At first glance, it seems that a lot of money was spent to build a flower house with colored glaze, just to enjoy the flowers in winter. The expenses for this item alone cost at least several thousand taels of silver in one winter. Not to mention the decorative arrangements along the way, with brocade silk used as cloister curtains. Just like brocade and silk are free of charge. "This is Nanjin, one piece costs at least twenty taels of silver. At least dozens or even hundreds of pieces are used here. Oh my god, how much silver does this cost." Chen Guanxin followed Chen Guanlou all the time following his father's words. The young master, with his good eyesight since childhood, kept sighing. Before he finished sighing, he exclaimed, "The vase for arranging flowers is clearly produced by the official cellar of the previous dynasty. It can be sold for at least three to five hundred taels of silver outside. Such an expensive vase is actually placed outside for arranging flowers, and there is no fear of it breaking." Walking all the way, sighing all the way. Chen Guanxin roughly calculated that the arrangement along the way cost at least seven or eight thousand taels of silver. This is just the cost of materials, not including labor rewards and losses in the middle. A family banquet costs tens of thousands of taels, why is it so expensive. Too extravagant. He tutted, "The Marquis' Mansion is indeed extravagant. We both have the surname Chen, but look at the difference. Brother Lou, you don't have any ideas." Chen Guanlou laughed, "It's your great-grandfather's fault for not having a good birth. If he could have been born in the belly of the first wife, you would be the young master of the Marquis' Mansion now." Chen Guanxin snorted, "My family is at least not out of the fifth mourning period. In fact, my family and the Marquis' Mansion are legitimate relatives." Chen Guanlou sneered, "You can still benefit from the Marquis' Mansion even if you are not out of the fifth mourning period. I'm talking about you, why didn't you go to the front line with the eldest master? You can't fight, but you can always learn to read and settle accounts." When Chen Guanxin heard this, his face was a little embarrassed and guilty, and his eyes followed to dodge. Chen Guanlou smiled, "Did you go, but was rejected?" "Who said I was rejected? I don't like to eat sand in that damn place of Jinzhou." Quibbling!
