"Hey, you're funny, young man." The boatman smiled, "When others come to Xiangcheng, they care about the landscape, but you are good, what you care about the most is how this landscape is built." ”

Having said that, after the boatman only laughed twice, he still carefully explained to Xiao Ciyu: "That's the case, about a year ago, there was a new official in the establishment side, and we can't tell what the specific position is." All in all, the words are quite useful.

As soon as the old man came, he visited all parts of the city, and then he proposed that many parts of the city were a little dilapidated, and that they should be rebuilt in order for the people to live comfortably.

"No, it was built all over the city. Digging in the east, digging in the west, not to mention, it really looks decent. ”

"Oh?" Xiao Ciyu raised his eyebrows, "Then what do you mean, this new official is actually still a good official?" Run the entire Xiangcheng decently? ”

"This..."The old boatman hesitated for a moment, then shook his head again and said, "We can't say for sure, I've only seen the old man from afar once, but I heard the people in our village who work in the city say that the big man has a lot of pomp and circumstance, and the shelves are also big. Quite horizontal. ”

Xiao Ciyu understands that this person is the kind of person who is capable, but not close to the people.

He can really do things, but he can't do anything if he wants to compare his heart with his heart and understand the suffering of the people.

Such people... Overall, there are no major problems. As long as he is put in the right position, he is still up to the task.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ciyu planned to put the matter down.

But before he could skim the matter out of his mind, he listened to the old boatman again: "I heard that this eldest man used to be an official in the capital for a period of time, and the lady he married was also the daughter of everyone in the capital, which is amazing." ”

"Beijing?" Speaking of the capital, Xiao Ciyu suddenly became interested again.

Not only him, but even Shen Lanxi, who was beside him, also focused his attention on the old boatman: "I don't know, which daughter is it in the capital?" ”

"How does my old man know?" The boatman shook his head and sighed, "You two young men must think too highly of me. ”

But after a pause, he added, "But I heard... It's the daughter of a big official, the kind of big official who can see the emperor. ”

Hearing this, Shen Lanxi and Xiao Ciyu couldn't help but glance at each other.

There are many officials who can see the emperor in the capital, but not too many.

These people still have a certain status in the capital.

And the so-called big man in the mouth of the boatman is actually just an official who was promoted to Jiangzhou this year.

Jiangzhou is subordinate to Yunchuan Mansion, but it is not the largest state in Yunchuan Prefecture, so that person is by no means a prefecture-level official. At the state level, the highest grade is only from the five-grade Zhizhou.

But in Xiao Ciyu's impression, the governor of Jiangzhou has not changed for many years, so that person...

That person's grade must be below the fifth grade!

This year, he was promoted to an official below the fifth grade, married the daughter of everyone in the capital, and even had the experience of being an official in the capital for a short period of time...

No matter how you listen to this, there are strange things.

In this way, Xiao Ciyu and Shen Lanxi's interest in that person gradually became stronger.

Bending the corners of his mouth, Xiao Ciyu said casually: "I wonder if the old man knows what the old man's surname is?" Listening to your description, he shouldn't be easy to mess with, my daughter-in-law and I have just arrived, and I still want to hide some. ”
