As they chatted, they talked about the recent situation of the Marquis' Mansion. Since Emperor Jianshi ascended the throne, the crown prince Chen Guanfu returned to the Marquis' Mansion safely and continued to work as a minister in the Ministry of Works. In a way, Emperor Jianshi inherited the will of Emperor Taixing 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 the old and the new, and also because he had connections with the three major camps, and wanted to move his position. But he was pushed back by Emperor Jianshi. Emperor Jianshi's reasons were very good and powerful. "The Ministry of Works has been harmed by the treacherous minister Jiang Tu for many years. Now we need a capable minister to rectify the Ministry of Works and clean it up. Don't let the remnants of Jiang Tu continue to harm the Ministry of Works. This matter must be handled by Chen Aiqing, don't refuse." Emperor Jianshi said so much, what else can Chen Guanfu do? You can't just not give face to the new emperor when he ascended the throne. As a minister, you must be discerning. Even if you don't accept it in your heart, you have to give enough face. He couldn't say that he was not a capable official, but a good-for-nothing who couldn't do the job well. In the end, Chen Guanfu had no choice but to compromise and continue to work in the Ministry of Works, still holding the title of assistant minister. Emperor Jianshi also said, "Oh, I originally wanted to give him the position of Shangshu, but he was still young and was afraid of being criticized. He said a lot of nonsense. In short, it was for his sake that he continued to be an assistant minister. This was the most reasonable arrangement." Chen Guanfu:...
Continue to pinch your nose and accept it. Anyway, in this transition from the old to the new, he has achieved his goal and nailed the nail into the three major camps. It doesn't matter if he doesn't enter the Ministry of War. He privately planned to mix sand into the three major camps as the son of the Marquis's Mansion. The Marquis's Mansion doesn't have much else, but it has many soldiers and generals. No one can tell how many of the military generals in the world have received the favor of the Marquis' Mansion. In the past, when Emperor Taixing was alive, he strictly guarded against all kinds of things, divided and disintegrated the nobles and military generals, and split them up. The Marquis' Mansion could only be cautious and didn't dare to make a big move. Now that Emperor Jianshi has come to power, there are no more constraints, and the Marquis' Mansion no longer has to worry. Because Emperor Jianshi's arms are not that long, and his power is still very weak, he can't do the same as Emperor Taixing, suppressing the nobles in all directions. This gives the nobles an opportunity to take advantage of the loopholes. The alternation between the old and the new is a carnival for civil officials and military generals. It depends on whether you are brave enough and whether you are afraid of being beheaded. If you are afraid, don't do anything, and don't expect to get promoted and make a fortune. The alternation between the old and the new is a gamble that will kill the bold and starve the timid. Recently, the Marquis' Mansion has also been actively moving around, not to run for office, but to take advantage of the stable situation to find marriages for the girls of marriageable age in the mansion, and to find suitable girls for the young masters. Because of the turbulent situation before, Emperor Taixing went crazy every few days, and no one could grasp the future. There was a fear that he would be in heaven today and in hell tomorrow. As a result, the marriages of the girls and men of marriageable age in the mansion were delayed. Now that everything has settled, it is time to bring up the marriage and settle it quickly, so as not to delay the children's flowering period. So, just after the national mourning, the Marquis's Mansion held banquets every few days, and all the wealthy families in the capital were invited. Or they went out every few days to attend other people's banquets. Every time they went out, they brought a long list of girls and men. When dating, of course people have to get along with each other. As a couple, even if there is no love, they must at least like each other. You can't have a nose that is not a nose, and eyes that are not glasses, and hate each other. If the marriage fails and becomes an enemy, it will not be beautiful. The Chen family 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 does the opposite, and prefers naughty children. It is said that they are thick-skinned and can withstand wear and tear. On the contrary, obedient, quiet and obedient children are not so liked. In the words of the elders of the Chen family: Boys are obedient and are easily bullied when they go out. Boys are supposed to be a little naughty. As long as they are right, there is nothing to be afraid of. Children should be raised a little rough so that they can be tough when they grow up. Even the girls of the Chen family are raised to be more "wild". It's not that they have bad tempers, but they are open and generous, not restrained or timid. Don't cry when you are bullied. Crying can't solve the problem. Just fight back. Don't be afraid of anything. It was because of this family style that Chen Xiaolan dared to marry her underage brother Chen Guanlou to the Su family and raise him until he could live independently. If it were an ordinary girl, according to tradition, she would have been married and at most helped her younger brother. How could she dare to live with her underage brother in her husband's house and send him to school? Of course, because of this family style, many wealthy families who claimed to be from scholarly families could not stand the Marquis' Mansion and resolutely refused to marry into the Marquis' Mansion. I despise the Marquis's mansion for being vulgar, wild and unrepentant, and not decent at all.
The girls in the Marquis's mansion have good family backgrounds and good looks, but there are flaws everywhere. They are not suitable to be daughters-in-law at all. The rules are too rough. The Marquis's mansion does not care about those so-called official families and local nobles. There are so many noble families and princes in the capital. It is not easy to find a suitable marriage for their girls, but it is not difficult. 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 roadside and watched. It was really luxurious! The ladies took the girls out, more than a dozen carriages, maids, security guards, errand boys, and stewards, so lively. The carriages were moving on the bluestone street, and the wheels rolled over the stone slabs, making a dull sound. The girls chattered happily, and occasionally a crisp laugh came out. Chen Guanlou sighed: "How wonderful! Youth is so beautiful!" Although he didn't know many of these sisters, he still hoped that these girls from the Marquis' Mansion could get what they wanted. After watching the convoy leave, he slowly went to the Tianlao to work. Looking at the official documents on the table, he thought that he needed a master. He couldn't waste all his time on these official documents. Let Qian Fugui screen the official documents for him first. Qian Fugui is a very motivated person. Since Chen Guanlou promoted him to be the accountant, he didn't need anyone to remind him. He paid for a teacher and started studying from the beginning. Now he has improved to the point that he can write official documents. It's just that his handwriting is ugly. He can write, but he can't write. Such ugly words must not appear in official documents. He can only help deal with some official documents, classify various official documents, and let the clerks deal with them one by one according to the requirements. Chen Guanlou went down to the A-shaped prison and inspected the cells as usual. He also served as a prison guard, and inspecting the cells was his main job. Zhang Wenfu is still in prison. His good friend Mr. Ye hasn't visited him for several months. Chen Guanlou stood in front of the prison door, "What's wrong with your family? They haven't gotten you out for so long. Logically, with the new emperor on the throne, your father's chance has come. He might get promoted and make a fortune one day. Could it be that your father has too many sons and has forgotten about you? Has your mother also forgotten about you?" These words are heartbreaking! These words are absolutely heartbreaking.
