Martial arts immortality, I will eventually be invincible

Privately, Chen Guanlou asked Master Du how much he estimated the market price of famous calligraphy.

Du Fuzi told him that one or two thousand taels would definitely be sold. The specific amount depends on the antique shop's ability. If you meet someone with similar interests, two or three thousand taels won't be a problem.

"Does Xie Changling's inscription not count as money?"

"This is the time to score. He is now in prison. Although he has the title of No. 1 Scholar and has his own style, not many people recognize him. In the future, when he becomes famous, this copybook will be priceless. If you want to give him a gift, it will cost There must be many people who spend a lot of money to buy this copybook. Think about it, the copybook article he wrote in Tianlao will be given to him as a gift in the future. This is how precious it is to give a gift. Giving gifts is the best way to build relationships.”

"Then I have to find a way to let him keep more calligraphy treasures. When he becomes prosperous in the future, I will sell his calligraphy treasures specifically to those who give gifts to people who are interested in doing business. I will definitely make a fortune."

But Master Du smiled and said: "It's rare that's precious. If there's too much, it's like cabbage on the roadside."

Chen Guanlou clicked his tongue twice, "Students are hypocritical. I can split the bill with him twenty-eight, but the worst is thirty-seven."

"Are you so optimistic about his future? Are you sure he can turn around?" Du Fuzi was curious.

Chen Guanlou laughed playfully and said lightly, "I'm not bragging. I really haven't missed anyone with my eyes. Who can recover and who can achieve greatness? I don't dare to say that I can guess 100%. There is still an 89% chance. of."

"You are awesome!" Du Fuzi smiled, "If you have this ability, staying in the prison will be of some use. Just a little use. If you use it in the officialdom, it will be just a matter of nothing."

"Master, please don't fool me. I'm still thinking that this gift is quite expensive. Would it be inappropriate for me to give it to the Marquis Mansion?"

"There is nothing inappropriate. Everyone knows that you are the jailer of the Heavenly Prison, and it is natural to take advantage of the prisoners. Everyone only thinks that you are capable and know how to do what he likes."

Du Fuzi's words comforted Chen Guanlou.

The market value of the copybook far exceeded his budget, but he only spent two hundred taels of silver on it. Moreover, it can be used with the left hand and the right hand, which is in line with the budget.

On the day of the banquet, he took advantage of the time and came to the Hou Mansion either early or late. This time I didn't go through the back door, but the side door. It was Chen Guanxiang, the concierge, who personally greeted him.

Chen Guanlou did not reward him with any reward, but said loudly: "We brothers don't care about these things. Let's drink together later."

Chen Guanxiang sighed, "Drinking with you will bring you bad luck for the rest of your life. Stay away and don't infect me with your bad luck."

"Nonsense! Who wouldn't envy my wealth? You are just jealous."

"Am I jealous of you?" Chen Guanxiang's nostrils were raised with disdain on his face, "You are the shabby errand boy in Tianlao. Compared with me, you can't even carry shoes. My errand, even though it is just a concierge, when I walk out, I will be a seventh-grade official." Don’t change.”

"Yes, yes, you are the seventh-ranking official of the Prime Minister's concierge, let alone the Marquis's concierge. You are awesome. I can't compare with you. I give up." Chen Guanlou decisively ended the quarrel like a schoolboy. There were so many guests that he almost became a conspicuous person. .

Chen Guanxiang randomly assigned a boy to lead Chen Guanlou to the flower hall in the front yard to drink tea. There were so many guests here today that they were divided into several courtyards to entertain them.

Chen Guanlou was placed in the team of the Chen family. As soon as he walked into the flower hall, good guys, they were all Chen family members. Including some relatives and friends of the Chen family, but their status and status were limited and they were not qualified to sit at the same table with relatives and friends of other wealthy families, so they were placed together with the clan members.

Chen Guanlou was very obedient. As soon as he entered the flower hall, he first greeted all the elders, then greeted each other with his brothers of the same clan, and also accepted the gifts from the juniors.

Fortunately, today is not the Chinese New Year, so there is no need to give lucky money.

Time flies, and before you know it, there are a lot of juniors. A few years ago, he was a handsome boy named Lou. In a blink of an eye, he emerged from a group of naughty kids and called him uncle when they met.

A group of naughty children is like three thousand ducks.

The Chen family started out as a military force and did not have strict control over their children. They were even happy to see the children unleash their natural instincts and fight fiercely. It is said that if you want to be a general, you must know how to fight and fight. The awareness of fighting must be cultivated from an early age. As expected, the family tradition is very different from that of a farming and studying family or an official family.

No wonder there are not many intermarriages between the two sides. The differences in concepts and family styles are too great, making it difficult to integrate, and there will inevitably be contradictions everywhere.

Of course, the adults are also cautious and restrict the children's activities. They can only stay in the courtyard and cannot step out of the hospital. So as not to bump into the distinguished guests.

Chen Guanxin came to Chen Guanlou and politely shouted, "Brother Guanlou!"

"How's business?"

Chen Guanxin shook his head, "Just so so." Even with the support of his family, Chen Guanxin's North and South Grocery Store can only be said to be a place where he can make ends meet. If you want to be rich and wealthy, don't expect it. This business is done in a steady stream, and a small amount makes a lot. It is far less than the easy income I made when I was working as an errand in Tianlao.

He had a restless temper, which made him guard the shop every day, which made him extremely depressed.

With the comparison, I realized more and more that the job in Tianlao seemed low and dirty, but in fact it had many benefits. In the past, Chen Guanlou was just the team leader. With his care, he could keep him fed and he was never short of money. Now that Chen Guanlou is a warder, if he were still in Tianlao, wouldn't his income and status be rising steadily?

Regret.

"Brother Guanlou, can I still go back to Tianlao as an errand?"

Chen Guanlou glanced at him and said, "It's so good to be in your business. Now I'm also a boss. Why can't I think about the job of a jailer in Tianlao?"

"Brother Guanlou, are you still blaming me? At the beginning, I really let it slip unintentionally."

"It's all in the past, don't mention it." Chen Guanlou picked up the teacup and made it clear that he was serving tea to the guest.

Chen Guanxin opened his mouth helplessly. He just loves to brag and show off his knowledge. All the jailers in Tianlao are like this. However, he boasted too much and revealed the accounts of the A-shaped prison.

If I say regret, there is a little.

If I say resentment, there is also a little. Brother Lou is too unkind. We are all brothers in the clan. Why do we have to make a big fuss over a little mistake of his.

Today he met him and tried Chen Guanlou's attitude. Unexpectedly, the other party was still unyielding and refused to give him a second chance.

He was upset, angry and resentful. Seeing the naughty children making noise, he roared. The noise alarmed the elders, and his father grabbed his ears and scolded him, and his mood became worse. Just play cards with a few people and spend money to avoid disaster.

At some point, Chen Guanxiang approached Chen Guanlou and said, "Why don't you give Chen Guanxin a second chance? I can see that he wants to go back to Tianlao to work."

"Then why don't you recommend him to work in the Marquis' Mansion, such as following you as a doorman, it's easy and the money is high, and everyone will give him some face."

"Bah! I'm a doorman, I need to be smart and can't have ulterior motives. I don't want Chen Guanxin, that gambling idiot."

"You don't want it, why should I?"

"Don't you Tianlao just accept hooligans? Chen Guanxin is just right."

Chen Guanlou directly gave him a middle finger in return.
