Chapter 534: Why Are You Still Not Out of Prison

Chatting and chatting, they talked about the recent situation of the Marquis's Mansion.

Since the Emperor Jian Shi Emperor ascended the throne, the heir Chen Guanfu returned to the Marquis's Mansion safely and continued to serve as a Vice Minister in the Ministry of Works. In some respects, the Emperor Jian Shi Emperor can be considered to have inherited the will of the Taixing Emperor, and did not change Chen Guanfu's government office.

Chen Guanfu wanted to go to the Ministry of War, taking advantage of the transition between old and new, and having contact with the three major camps, wanting to move his position. But he was pressed back by the Emperor Jian Shi Emperor.

The Emperor Jian Shi Emperor's reason was very good and very strong.

"The Ministry of Works has been harmed by the traitor Jiang Tu for many years, and now it needs a capable official to rectify the Ministry of Works, and clean it up well. Don't let Jiang Tu's remnants continue to harm the Ministry of Works. This matter belongs to Minister Chen, don't decline."

The Emperor Jian Shi Emperor said it to this point, what else could Chen Guanfu do? He couldn't just not give face when the new Emperor just ascended the throne.

As a minister, one must have the eye to see. Even if he is not convinced in his heart, he must give enough face. He couldn't say he was not a capable official, but a rice bucket, and couldn't do this errand well.

Finally, Chen Guanfu could only choose to compromise and continue to serve in the Ministry of Works, still hanging the title of Vice Minister.

The Emperor Jian Shi Emperor also said, oh, originally wanted to give him the position of Minister, but he is still young, afraid of being criticized by others, blah blah blah, in short, it is for his consideration, continue to be a Vice Minister, this is the most reasonable arrangement.

Chen Guanfu:...

Continued to pinch his nose and admit it.

Anyway, this transition between old and new, he can be considered to have achieved his goal, nailing the nail into the three major camps. It doesn't matter if he doesn't enter the Ministry of War; he plans privately, using the identity of the Marquis's Mansion heir to mix sand into the three major camps. The Marquis's Mansion has nothing else, just many soldiers and generals; the generals in the world, no one can say clearly how many have received the grace of the Marquis's Mansion.

In the past, when the Taixing Emperor was alive, various strict defenses, dividing and disintegrating the nobles and generals, splitting them up. The Marquis's Mansion could only be careful and did not dare to make big moves. Now, the Emperor Jian Shi Emperor is in power, the constraints are gone, and the Marquis's Mansion no longer needs to worry.

Because the Emperor Jian Shi Emperor's hand is not that long, and the power is still very weak, he cannot do like the Taixing Emperor, suppressing the nobles in all directions. This gave the nobles a chance to drill holes.

The transition between old and new is a carnival for civil and military officials. It depends on whether the courage is big enough and whether they are afraid of losing their heads.

If afraid, don't do anything, and don't count on promotion and wealth. The transition between old and new is a gamble that stuffs the bold and starves the timid.

Recently, the Marquis's Mansion has also been actively moving, not to run for official positions, but taking advantage of the stable situation, to find marriages for the suitable girls in the mansion, and also to look at suitable girls for the young masters.

Before, because the situation was turbulent, the Taixing Emperor was crazy every three days, and no one could grasp the future, having a kind of panic of being in heaven today and hell tomorrow. As a result, the marriages of the suitable girls and young masters in the mansion were delayed.

Now, everything is settled, it is time to bring up the marriage, set it quickly, and don't delay the flowering period of the children.

Consequently, just after the national mourning, the Marquis's Mansion held banquets every three days, and the famous wealthy families, princes, and nobles in the capital were all on the invitation list. Or they went out to attend other people's banquets every three days. Every time they went out, they brought a long string of girls and young masters.

Blind date, blind date, people naturally have to be present to get along and see, to be husband and wife, even if there is no emotion, at least look pleasing to the eye. Can't have a nose that is not a nose, eyes that are not eyes, and look at each other with disgust. If the marriage is not successful and becomes an enemy, that is not beautiful.

The Chen clan raises children differently from other families, or the family style is different.

Other families require children to be obedient and not naughty.

The Chen family goes the opposite way, preferring bear children, naughty children. The so-called rough skin and thick flesh, resistant to grinding. Obedient, quiet, and obedient children are not so liked.

In the words of the Chen clan elders: boys are obedient, and they are easily bullied when they go out. Boys, after all, have to be a bit naughty, as long as they occupy the reason, there is nothing to be afraid of. Children should be raised roughly, so they can resist grinding when they grow up.

Even the girls of the Chen family are raised more 'wild'. It's not that the temper is bad, but that they act generously, not cautious, not timid, and don't cry when bullied; crying can't solve the problem, just hit back, afraid of a fart.

Precisely because of this family style, Chen Xiaolan dared to drag her underage brother Chen Guanlou to marry into the Su family, and raised her brother until he could live independently.

If it were an ordinary girl, according to tradition, she would have been married, at most helping her brother, how dare she have the thick skin to bring her underage brother to live in her husband's house, and still give him books to read.

Of course, also because of this family style, many wealthy families who claim to be scholarly families look down on the Marquis's Mansion and are determined not to marry the Marquis's Mansion. They dislike the Marquis's Mansion for being vulgar, wild, and not decent at all.

Except for a good family background and a good face, the girls of the Marquis's Mansion can pick out faults everywhere, and are simply not suitable for being daughters-in-law; the rules are too rough.

The Marquis's Mansion also doesn't care about those so-called official families and local wealthy families.

There are so many noble families, princes, and nobles in the capital; seeking a suitable marriage for their own girls, although not easy, is not a difficult matter.

Early in the morning, the side door of the Marquis's Mansion opened, and carriages came out one after another.

Chen Guanlou stood by the road and watched.

Really luxurious!

Wives and ladies took the girls out, ten or twenty carriages, serving old women and maidservants, guards responsible for security, errand boys, and managers doing things, a long string, very imposing.

The carriages walked on the bluestone street, the wheels crushed the stone slabs, making a dull sound. The girls were chirping, very happy, occasionally emitting a burst of crisp laughter.

Chen Guanlou sighed: Really good! Youth is really beautiful!

These sisters, although many don't know them, he still hopes these girls of the Marquis's Mansion can get what they want.

Watching the motorcade leave, he slowly went to the Heavenly Prison to serve.

Looking at the official documents on the table, he thought, he needs a private secretary. He cannot waste his time on these official documents.

Let Qian Fugui screen the official documents for himself first.

Qian Fugui is a very motivated person.

Since Chen Guanlou promoted him to be an accountant, he didn't need anyone to remind him; he spent his own money to hire a teacher and started studying from scratch. Now he has progressed to being able to write official documents. It's just that the handwriting is ugly, can write, but cannot write. Such ugly handwriting must not appear on official documents. Can only help handle some official documents, classify various official documents, and let the clerks handle them one by one according to requirements.

Chen Guanlou went down to the Grade A prison and patrolled the prison cells as usual.

He also concurrently held the errand of prison guard, and patrolling the prison cells was his main job.

Zhang Wenfu was still locked in the prison.

Good friend Young Master Ye hadn't come to visit him for several months.

Chen Guanlou stood in front of the prison door. "What's going on at your house? For such a long time, you haven't been fished out yet. Logically speaking, the new Emperor ascended the throne, your father's opportunity has come, maybe one day he will be promoted and get rich. Could it be that your father has too many sons and forgot about you? Could it be that your mother also forgot about you?"

These words are heart-piercing!

Properly heart-piercing words. ===== CHAPTER 535 =====
