Chapter 132 (1/2)
New year is coming, after a month of busy and substantial autumn harvest, fanhuabieyuan has entered the preparations for the new year.
During this period, there were many big and small events in Fanluo city.
What Fanhua town talks about most is that its neighbor, Qingtian town next door, was bought by a mysterious rich gentry from outside.
The price and the follow-up rest plan are similar to those of Fanhua town.
This event made Fanluo city really lively for a long time, until another new event came - Fanluo city leader changed his choice. Let for a long time there is no official news in fanluocheng, full of boiling for a month has not stopped.
It is said that the city leaders of the thirty-one cities under Dahui were all selected by Dahui emperor from the excellent people recommended by the ministers of culture and martial arts over the years, evaluated one by one according to morality, talent, skills, force, management and other aspects.
Of course, there are also many city Lord candidates obtained by improper means. But most of them are true.
After all, before the election of the Minister of culture and military affairs, the top three winners each year will be able to enter the talent pool of the great emperor to evaluate and select the city Lord after a comprehensive contest of three times of literature, military, talent and emotion.
Year after year, the talent pool has been full. Therefore, after the current Emperor Li Wenxiu ascended the throne, the first reform was to shorten the term of office of the city Lord from the original 15 years to eight years, and to extend the talent examination once a year to three years. To reduce the backlog of talent pool.
However, the owner of Fanluo city was replaced within eight years. Oh, it should be said that he was promoted. The owner of Shuiyue City expired and resigned. The remaining three years of his career will be moved to Shuiyue city. The reason for the promotion is that Shuiyue city is several times more prosperous than Fanluo city. It should be said that the remote and narrow Fanluo City, in thirty-one cities, is completely a small city with its tail dropped.
No, before the new city Lord took office, people inside and outside Fanluo city were speculating, who is so unlucky that the emperor assigned to Fanluo City, which can only be called the bottom one?
”So the rumors outside are true? Congratulations to the Lord. It is said that Shuiyue city is more than twice the size of Fanluo city. ”
In the front hall of yueyun embroidery building, Jiang yingyue, the chief shopkeeper, smiled and replaced wine with tea. Xi Youjing, the outgoing City Lord of Fanluo, who was about to leave, said goodbye.
”You are welcome, master. The first thing I want to do is to say goodbye. The second thing I want to do is to say that Xi has an unexpected request. I don't know the chief shopkeeper... ”
”The city Lord is very polite. If you have any orders, just say them. If yingyue can do it, he must try his best.”
”Cough Xi is not polite. It's like this Cough... Child Jingrui has always been thinking about Miss Yingyun. As soon as the transfer order came down, he had to ask me to propose marriage. But because his family has made him a relative, and the other side is also the court's life officer, Xi is not easy to refuse. In this way, if Miss Yingyun enters the door, she will certainly be aggrieved. However, don't worry, shopkeeper, Xi must... ”
When Jiang yingyue heard this, he knew what Xi Youdao was going to say next, just to guarantee that he would be good to his sister. However, it's not what she wants, and it's not what little sister wants.
”Lord, let me put in a word. My sister will be twenty to four in the new year. I remember that Mr. Xi is only nineteen this year. In terms of this year's discipline...” Isn't it because Yingyun married her to be a nanny?
”Cough The chief shopkeeper doesn't know something. His mother and I have tried to persuade him many times. It's not true that we can't beat him. This is why we put out our old face to propose marriage to the chief shopkeeper. ”
Is this a proposal? Ha! How funny! He also said that he just wanted to secretly take Yingyun to his son as a concubine.
Thinking about this, Jiang yingyue's anger was even more intense, and she almost didn't get angry on the spot.
”Lord, you don't know. In fact, shemei has a engagement. Otherwise, with her such good conditions, how can she stay married in the embroidered building?! As you know, I'm such a baby sister, and I don't want her to marry far away. It was not until the man moved to Fanluo that he would promise their marriage. This is not true. The man's family is also a big business in the north. It will not move for a while, so we have to wait for so many years. It's also my fault. However, I heard that now I have done everything, and I will move here to settle down after the new year, so you see... ”
”Is it? I heard that... ” Isn't it Sheng Chuanyue, the big shopkeeper of Yunxiu building, who has been picking a husband for his younger sister? Is it a fake?
”It's all rumor. It's not true.” Jiang yingyue waves to show that she is in fact fooling around. The purpose is to bring her perfect brother-in-law.
”In this case, Xi first congratulates the shopkeeper here. Ha ha... When the children learn about it, they should give up. ”
Naturally, Xi Youdao didn't really want to talk about this relationship, but he couldn't help his little son. That's why he came here. Now Jiang Yingyun has a close relationship with his fiance. Naturally, he is happy to go back and wake up his naughty little son. Although the Jiang family has only two sisters, and they have accumulated a lot of wealth over the years, how can they be qualified to marry a merchant family after all.
”Whoo! Who is it! I'm going to have to come and insert a bar! ” Jiang yingyue takes a pair of ”Peony painting” to send away Xi Youdao, who is satisfied and returns home, and leans on the back of his chair, cursing repeatedly.
I hope that dandy Xi Jingrui won't be here waiting to see her so-called brother-in-law. If so, where can she find a man to match Yingyun.
