Ji Xiao slowly spit out two words, "Ji Xiao." ”

"Oh, this surname is rare, look at your beautiful demeanor and lenient behavior, you should be from a scholarly family. The old man twisted his beard and said.

Ji Xiao smiled and said: "My ancestors started recklessly, but my father is gentle and elegant, I was influenced by him, and I have some superficial knowledge, which makes the people of Futai look up to me." ”

He said in his heart, it seems that the prefect is not familiar with the affairs of the rivers and lakes.

There is a way that is an iron official, a ruler of flowing water. Four Seasons Villa has been rich and noble in the local area for a hundred years, but it does not have a deep friendship with the prefect and other parties, but only sends some gifts to the general stream during the New Year's holidays to show respect. His family does not take the imperial examination as a profession, so there are often some prefects who have been officials here for three or five years, and they do not know much about the Four Seasons Villa. At most, I have heard of it, and it is classified as a wealthy gentleman.

What's more, the real people of the yamen are those small officials, these people have an intricate relationship with the Four Seasons Villa, and they have made a living from it for generations, so on the surface, the local is the largest prefect, but in fact, the Four Seasons Villa is the uncrowned king of the local area.

The more this is the case, the less locals talk about Four Seasons Villa. Even if Jin Abacus and other wealthy businessmen saw Ji Xiao being aggressive, they would not say what they wanted to do with Ji Xiao, at most they would leave with their sleeves up. If it were someone else, he wouldn't want to get out of the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion alive that day.

Despite this, Four Seasons Villa has always acted as a person who does not provoke officials and has a good relationship. After all, people in the rivers and lakes also want to eat, and people can leave, but they can't give up their family business.

The old man laughed and said, "You say this, I want to get to know Ling Zun, and if I can teach a young man like you, he must be very extraordinary." ”

Ji Yu said: "The ninth day of the next month is my father's birthday, if the Lord of Futai is interested, you can come as a guest." Four Seasons Villa is my home, and the Lord of Futai will casually ask the local officials to know the way. However, if you are sure that you want to come, you can send a post first, and I will wait for the court to be cleaned up and welcome the honored guests. ”

"Four Seasons Villa, I remember, if I have nothing to do, I will definitely come, haha, you will come to my house as a guest today. Don't call me Lord Futai, my surname is Gu, and my single name is 'Rong', I think you will be clear when you recognize me. From now on, you will call me Uncle Gu. Gu Rong said.

Ji Xiao smiled and said, "Then listen to my uncle." ”

Gu Rongji was very happy, and talked with Ji Xiao about the past and the present along the way, and before he knew it, he arrived at the mansion.

When the coachman stopped the carriage and told Gu Rong, he was a little surprised, pulled up Ji Xiao and said, "Let's go, let's continue to talk." ”

Ji Xiao didn't expect Gu Rong to talk so much, and while he was dumbfounded, he didn't refuse, and entered the mansion with him.

The gate of the government is as neat as new, and the two stone lions are majestic. But inside, you can still see some places that have fallen into disrepair.

Gu Rong didn't know that Ji Xiao couldn't see it, and he was afraid that he would think that he was generous in buying potted plants, but he was reluctant to repair the mansion, but he was selling his reputation and reputation, so he explained: "My family is a Jiangzuo clan, and I can receive tens of thousands of taels of dividends from the clan property every year, but I like vassal elegance, and I spend a lot of money in this area every year, so I don't have much private money to repair the mansion." If taxes are used, it will be the people's fat and people's ointment, and it will be used for my private enjoyment, and I can't bear it. It's just that the gate of the government is the face of the imperial court, so I will use some taxes to trim it.

Ji Xiao bowed his head lightly and said: "The younger generation naturally believes that the uncle is honest, and there is one thing I forgot to tell my uncle, the little nephew was blind at the age of ten, so I really can't see this." ”

He said it lightly, but it shocked Gu Rong's heart, and he couldn't help but say: "This is true." ”

Ji Xiao smiled and said: "My family is still a little famous in the local area, so many people know about me, my uncle can find a government official at will, or find someone who has some local leaders in Cangzhou Mansion, it should be clear, in the future, if my uncle asks, someone will tell my uncle." Please don't blame my uncle for deliberately concealing it before, but I really don't know how to speak, so I have dragged it out until now. ”

After speaking, he bowed slightly.

Gu Rong helped him up and sighed: "No wonder you call yourself a grass citizen after you know my identity, I still wonder how you have such a talent, how you don't have a fame, so that's the case." In this way, I only have one daughter under my knees, and I could have entered the country alone, but I can't use it, if I give you the quota, I won't have to go to the officials in the future, and I don't need to have more red tape. It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity ”

He said three regrets in a row, and he still regretted it greatly.

Gu Rong just talked to Ji Xiao about the past and the present, which shows that Ji Xiao has profound knowledge and is through changes, whether it is a career or an official, he has a great future, but he didn't expect to be a blind person. God is so unfair.

Ji Xiao said: "Thank you uncle for your kindness, it's just that I used this quota, and it was really a waste, not to mention that my uncle has his own sons and nephews, and if his relatives complain in the future, it will be the younger generation." ”

Gu Rong said: "You don't have to worry about this, my family has a lot of hairpins, and my children and nephews have their own way out." ”

After he finished speaking, he felt that this meant to give Ji Xiao food, so he hurriedly remedied: "I mean that they can work their own, and they have no intention of looking down on the virtuous nephew." And with your knowledge, you are already much better than my sons and nephews. ”

Ji Xiao smiled and said, "If I refuse again, my uncle will blame me for not knowing what to do, and I should do it." ”

Gu Rong's heart is big, he has no children under his knees, it was a regret in his life, but today he met Ji Xiao, and he was quite close. As the ancients said———— white hair is as new, and the cover is as old as ever.

What's more, Ji Xiao's encounter really made him pity, so he was willing to make such a promise.

Ji Xiao also had a great impression of Gu Rong, and couldn't help but secretly think about how to give Gu Rong some political achievements to repay Gu Rong's love.

For other countries, it is indeed extremely difficult to get political achievements for officials. But in Cangzhou, he spoke in Four Seasons Villa, not to mention letting people move mountains and reclaim the sea, but just to get some political performance projects, which can be described as easy.

Gu Rong didn't know this, but he didn't know that Ji Yu had the ability to be his nobleman.

But the two gentlemen's friends know these things and don't care.

Passing through the rockery and flowing water, it is full of flowers. Ji Xiao relied on the connection with the plants and trees, felt the vitality, and found that many bonsai were very well trimmed, and he couldn't help but feel that the old man really loved flowers and plants.

Gu Rong said: "I am exhausted now, and the flowers and plants in the garden are all taken care of by my daughter. You are also extremely sensitive to flowers and plants, and you have the ability to rejuvenate plants and trees, plus you are delicate, she must be happy to see you. ”

Then Gu Rong introduced the strange flowers and plants in the garden to Ji Xiao one by one, and he was quite complacent. After half a pillar of incense, he was still unsatisfied, and led him into the living room.

He instructed someone to prepare tea, and then he spoke.

At this time, in the living room, a young girl in a light cyan skirt mopping the floor walked in, she was graceful and beautiful, as soon as she came in, there was a dark fragrance, I saw her holding refreshments, and came to Gu Rong. A pair of beautiful eyes, only swirling around on Ji Liao's body.

Ji Xiao was very surprised, just because the young girl was "Lichun". Even if he thought that he would meet the girl, he didn't expect it to be here.

The girl put the refreshments on the coffee table and said innocently: "Daddy, who is this son." ”

She seemed to have never seen Ji Xiao before, and the curiosity from her wonderful eyes did not carry the slightest falsehood.

If Ji Xiao can open her eyes, I'm afraid she won't be able to find half a flaw in her eyes.

It's a pity that in the memory of the original owner of the body, the girl grinded with his ears and temples, lingering and sympathetic many times, and the fragrance of the other party's body had already penetrated deep into the bone marrow. Even if she changed her soul, the instinct of her body immediately recognized the girl.

Ji Xiao smiled bitterly to himself, if Gu Rong knew that he had slept with his daughter, he was afraid that he would have the heart to kill him. No, that's where Ji Xiao slept before.
