Chapter 458 Chen Lingfang Returns to Beijing for Reemployment
After the court session, Marquis Annan grabbed the corner of Duke Wu's clothes, found a place where they were separated from others, and asked in a low voice.
"Brother Wu, for the sake of our friendship since we were kids, can you tell me some news? Why am I so worried?"
Duke Wu looked back and politely nodded goodbye to some colleagues who were passing by. Then he stretched out his big hand in a bad mood and pulled the man's claws away from his robe.
"Let go! What are you trying to do by pulling me in broad daylight in front of everyone?
And do you know how to speak? Look at how skinny you are. When have I ever been with you?
Don't think that you can ruin my reputation just because my wife is gone. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will smash your door!"
"Okay, okay, I won't pull you, I won't pull you, let's talk it over. What are you so angry about?"
Marquis Annan has never had a tough temper, especially in front of a nobleman like Duke Wu who is good at fighting, he is even softer and easier to talk to.
There's nothing he can do about it. Who can blame the Chen family for passing down the ancestral motto of the doctrine of the mean?
Moreover, their family is different from the soft-hearted Chen family in Jingling Marquis Mansion. They simply don't like to compete or stand out in anything they do. They just want to live a peaceful and safe life.
In other words, they just like to eat and wait for death.
But it is also true that if the temptation of following the dragon's merit could not attract them, then what else could be worth the excitement of the Annan Marquisate? Impossible.
Duke Wu patted his sleeves in annoyance, his dissatisfaction could not be concealed in his mumbling tone.
"I say, Lao Chen, did a dog eat your brain? I just heard that you tried to get your fourth child back a few days ago, and I said you finally came to your senses.
How come you want to chase that unlucky kid out of the capital just when he's about to pee? What's wrong with him in the capital?"
The old face of Marquis Annan twitched uncomfortably for a moment, and he chuckled dryly a few times, not knowing what to say.
After all, family shame should not be made public.
Ever since the fourth son was brought back to Beijing, his family has never been at peace. His wife tried every means to suppress the illegitimate son, but the fourth son was powerful enough.
Not to mention Princess Rongchang, just the Chu family, the Shen family, the Wu family, and the Zhao family, none of them are easy to mess with.
Cui's family members are not fools, they didn't get involved this time, so it's not a big problem. It's just a pity for the whole family, who are in a mess every day. Alas!
"That's not the case. I've already found a good place for the fourth brother. He can take up the post as soon as the Ministry of Personnel approves it. How can I kick him out?"
"Oh? Where can you put him?"
Duke Wu couldn't help but be curious. In the capital, everyone has their own job, and the Annan Marquis's Mansion is not a very prominent family. Where can he put that unfortunate child?
Marquis Annan turned his head and looked around, making sure that no one was noticing him. Then he sneaked up to his old friend and boasted in a very cocky tone.
"Hehe, you are underestimating me, aren't you? I am a marquis after all, how can I not have any face at all? I tell you that it is only between us, otherwise I would not tell anyone else."
"Come on, stop showing off and tell me."
"The Dali Temple is quite short of manpower recently, so I found a ninth-rank position for Lao Si. Although it's not a high-ranking position, it's better than being a county magistrate outside, don't you think?"
"What a fart!"
Marquis Annan, who originally wanted his old friend to praise him, was scolded by Duke Wu.
"So you didn't even give Ling Fang a position as a chief clerk? He was at least one of the first on the list of successful candidates. Are you planning to send him to guard the prison gate?"
"No, who told him to do that? He's the recorder of the Dali Temple..."
"Forget it, the jobs you do are just some kind of odd jobs like cleaning, running errands, etc. It's even worse than being a gatekeeper in a prison!
I say to Chen Songxian, even if Chen Lingfang is a bastard, he is still your biological son, right? Do you have to treat him like this? The child has not touched the foundation and connections of your Chen family. He has made his way in the literary world on his own. Do you think you cannot allow him to make a name for himself?
You, you, why didn't I see that you are such a piece of shit before? Are you trying to trick your son to please your wife?"
No wonder Chen Lingfang went to his house twice in the past three days. He didn’t answer any questions. So after all this time, this is what happened?
This is really the case of having too much meat and feeling that it is fat!
His old Chen family has many sons, and even an outstanding one like Chen Lingfang is not wanted. If he were to come to his old Wu family, where there is only one son, he would definitely be butted on the head every day!
"I……"
Marquis Annan wanted to say something but was interrupted by Duke Wu's impatient wave of his hand.
"Okay, I don't want to get involved in your family's mess. But I'll be frank first. Chen Lingfang helped save my son. He is my benefactor.
I don't care how much you fight in Annan Marquis's Mansion, but if you want to bully others and harm him, I certainly can't just stand by and watch!"
Duke Wu patted his belly cunningly.
"If it really doesn't work, I'll let Gousheng go and ask Princess Rongchang. They have a life-and-death relationship with each other, so you can do whatever you want!"
"Come on, how can you still do this?"
This time, Marquis Annan was really scared. With Princess Rongchang's character, if he didn't take action, it would be fine. But if he did, his Chen family would definitely be short of something!
"How could I intentionally want to embarrass Old Four? Isn't it just that my ability is limited and my hands can't reach that far?"
Now he stopped bragging and told her with a bitter face how difficult it was for him to run around and ask for connections during this period of time.
Finally, he hung his head in frustration and sighed.
"You said that I, a fallen noble, want to squeeze into the civil service. Isn't that as difficult as going through mountains of swords and seas of fire? Where can I find a good position for him?"
Wouldn't it be great if you said this earlier?
You're still bragging in front of me!
Duke Wu rolled his eyes in a frivolous manner.
"Since you don't have that ability, then just save your energy and stand aside quietly, and let the child do it himself!"
"What do you mean?"
Thinking of the news Chen Lingfang revealed yesterday, Fatty Wu moved closer to Marquis Annan and whispered something with his hands covering his ears.
"Really? The fourth brother can enter the Censorate?! Um..."
Old Chen started in surprise, but was interrupted by a punch to the stomach from his old friend.
"This matter has not been settled yet, why are you making such a fuss? Doesn't your son have a relationship with Chu Zhankui's troublesome son? I heard that everything is in motion, just stay out of the trouble here."
