章 603: Chapter 304 Lady Cui_2

He stopped Qian Manjiang and walked forward to say, "I heard the Wu family kid got squeezed out of the Ministry of Rites and sent to manage peasants in the county?"

Qian Manjiang was slightly stunned, then nodded seriously, "Alas, it's all because our connections aren't strong enough; someone else got the position first by being more quick-footed."

Old man Qian laughed without agreement and said, "You can't blame our family's weak connections for this. If anyone's to blame, it's that the Wu family kid is only a Graduate. A Graduate, like a lady-in-waiting, how could he possibly enter the Six Ministries?"

Qian Manjiang nodded, "What you said is true, Father." He continued, "Father, we can't let these words get out, or they'll cause trouble."

Old man Qian waved his hand, "Do you think I'm foolish? I've seen my fair share of the world. I won't take what's said at home outside." With that, he hummed a tune and left.
