Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Chapter 286 Bei Xiuwen teaches Huang Guiquan and Lin Zhuoyin the difference

Huang Guiquan smiled and sent Yinxiu away, then returned to Bei Xiuwen and prepared another pot of hot tea for him. "Master, I don't think that Cao Gege is a well-off person."

It is said that eunuchs are rootless, which is true. Some eunuchs try their best to adopt a blood-related child just so that they will have someone to break the pot when they die. But for the vast majority of eunuchs, they have to be very powerful to buy a house in the capital and find their relatives.

Therefore, the eunuchs valued the present more than the future. Everything else was imaginary, and only the gold, silver, and jewelry they got were real. This explained Huang Guiquan's doubts. The eunuchs judged the people by their appearance. When they saw that Yinxiu was not a generous person, why did Bei Xiuwen want to establish a good relationship with Cao Qinmo?

Bei Xiuwen took a sip of tea, looked at Huang Guiquan helplessly, and commented, "You have too sharp eyes! I'm afraid that in the future, your success or failure will be due to these snobbish eyes."

Huang Guiquan naturally has his strengths to be able to become Bei Xiuwen's successor. His most powerful strength is his eyes that can tell whether a visitor is wealthy or not.

In a place like the kitchen where people come and go, Huang Guiquan never offended anyone with his eyes, but made a lot of connections. But Huang Guiquan was only interested in money, so Bei Xiuwen called him a "snobbish eye".

Huang Guiquan said somewhat aggrievedly, "Look at what Master said. He just looked down on me." In this backyard, who doesn't flatter the powerful and look down on the weak? Who doesn't have a pair of snobbish eyes? He, Huang Guiquan, is not the only one like that.

Bei Xiuwen touched Huang Guiquan's head and said, "If you want to take over my job, you can't be a snob. You have to cultivate a pair of fiery eyes like Sun Wukong." Huang Guiquan is Bei Xiuwen's apprentice. Can Bei Xiuwen really harm Huang Guiquan for no reason?

Huang Guiquan knew that Bei Xiuwen was going to teach him real skills, so he knelt at Bei Xiuwen's feet, rubbed his legs, and said flatteringly, "Master, please teach me!"

Bei Xiuwen was not polite either, and asked with half-closed eyes, "Which of these two new princesses do you think is better?"

Huang Guiquan said without hesitation, "Of course it's Princess Lin." Princess Cao was sent into Prince Yong's mansion by Concubine De, while Princess Lin was asked for by the prince himself. Even if we don't talk about this, just looking at their appearances, there is a world of difference.

Bei Xiuwen shook his head and said, "I am more optimistic about Cao Gege." Otherwise, he would not have ordered Huang Guiquan to sell Yinxiu out.

This touched upon Huang Guiquan's blind spot. Seeing Huang Guiquan's puzzled look, Bei Xiuwen poked Huang Guiquan's head vigorously and said angrily, "I heard that you have some connections with Lanyun Villa. Why are you so stupid?"

Huang Guiquan covered his forehead with his hands. He and Concubine Nian were distant relatives, but their relationship was not close. After all, who would like a eunuch relative? It was just that Huang Guiquan was good at scheming and he managed to climb up the big tree of Nian Shilan.

When Nian Shilan was mentioned, Huang Guiquan began to understand Bei Xiuwen's words. Nian Shilan was jealous, and Lin Zhuoyin entered the palace with the title of the prince's personal appointment, so wouldn't that mean that? Thinking of this, Huang Guiquan hissed and said tentatively, "Master, what you mean is that Lin Gege has offended Concubine Nian before she even entered the palace, so she won't be able to stay in favor for long?"

Bei Xiuwen looked at the sky in the distance and said, "This is just the surface. Lu Gege was also favored and also offended Concubine Nian, but she is still living well, isn't she?"

Huang Guiquan was even more confused. Does his master think highly of Ling Gege or not?

Bei Xiuwen slapped Huang Guiquan again, "Then analyze why Lu Gege can remain in such high esteem?"

Huang Guiquan lowered his head and thought, "Girl Lu is good-looking and has a unique personality in the backyard. She gave birth to a princess, and not only does she have a position in the prince's heart, but she also has a wife to support her. Now she has become a concubine and has also been given the power to manage the household." With a daughter, a favorite, power and a backer, Lu Yingfeng is not afraid of Nian Shilan.

Bei Xiuwen nodded and shook his head, "What you said are the results, not the reasons. The reason why Lu Gege can get to where he is today is that he is smart and knows when to advance and retreat." Lu Yingfeng looks like a man who is impetuous and speaks his mind, but he knows what to do in his heart.

Huang Guiquan seemed to be thinking about something. "So, this is why Master doesn't think highly of Ling Gege?"

Before Yinxiu came to the kitchen, Lin Zhuoyin had already sent her personal maid to the kitchen to get food. Lin Zhuoyin was originally a servant in the palace, so there was no maid for her to marry with. She just got two palace maids who were on good terms with her to be her maids.

Lin Zhuoyin said that new people bring new atmosphere, so she changed the names of the two maids neatly, one was called Baihe and the other was called Gancao. Baihe was smarter, so she was the one who did the errands outside.

When she was a palace maid, Lin Zhuoyin was a cautious and patient person, otherwise she would not have been able to quietly meet the Fourth Prince and win great wealth. But the bad thing happened during the time Lin Zhuoyin stayed in the palace of Concubine De.

Could Concubine De not see what kind of person Lin Zhuoyin was? Although Yixiu did not ask Concubine De to do anything, Concubine De was a thoughtful person. It was very simple for her to train Lin Zhuoyin to be someone who could be defeated by Yixiu with one blow and could also put pressure on Nian Shilan.

Lin Zhuoyin only needed the maids in Yonghe Palace to praise her, and her restless heart became even more proud. Add to that a few rumors of her envy of Nian Shilan, and Lin Zhuoyin knew who her future enemy would be without anyone telling her.

After a few months, the pampered days in Yonghe Palace made Lin Zhuoyin look forward to her future life even more. But she didn't expect that after entering the palace, the nanny took Lin Zhuoyin directly to a remote courtyard that couldn't be more remote. Even after renovation, it was obvious that the courtyard was desolate. It was not even as good as the small room Lin Zhuoyin lived in in Yonghe Palace.

This is normal. Defei has lived in Yonghe Palace for decades and has always been the favorite concubine. She can make Yonghe Palace magnificent. If something slips through her fingers, Lin Zhuoyin will be stunned.

Not to mention, Concubine De knew Nian Shilan's character and would definitely target Lin Zhuoyin, so she deliberately raised the residence assigned to Lin Zhuoyin by several levels. This was so that after Lin Zhuoyin entered the mansion, he would immediately feel the gap and immediately search for the enemy in the void.

Lin Zhuoyin, just as Concubine De expected, asked the leading nanny with a stiff face, "Excuse me, nanny, this place is so remote, did you lead me the wrong way?"

The nanny who led the way was Nian Shilan's person. She said calmly, "I have been working in the palace for more than 20 years, and I am not old and blind. This is indeed where the princess lives."
