Chapter 2737 Reading is the only way out

"Why does this new county magistrate look even more impoverished than Master Xu? At least there are people around Master Xu. This Master Shao has no servants."

"Isn't it? Look at his wife, there isn't even a maid and a maid by his side. The child is so young that he can only take care of himself."

"It is estimated that the life of Mr. Shao is not very easy, otherwise, he will not be assigned to such a remote place to be the county magistrate. The county magistrate who comes to our place has no background and no connections. Look at Mr. Xu. , is a poor country boy who was admitted to the jinshi, and was sent here because there was no one to manage, those who are a bit powerful, either in the capital or in the wealthy Jiangnan as officials."

"But this Mrs. Shao's wife is very affectionate and righteous, and she is willing to bring her children to accompany her to endure hardship in Jingping County. Mrs. Xu's wife has been staying in her hometown under the pretext of serving her parents-in-law, and she has not been in the past two years. See the figure."

"That's right, our place is poor, and it's on the frontier. It's dangerous not to mention hard days."

These words vaguely drifted into the ears of Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong.

The master who led the way also heard it, and his face was a little embarrassed. He secretly blamed those people for speaking without thinking. If they want to discuss, they have to wait until they are far away.

Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong pretended not to hear it, they just looked at the environment of the county government office.

Looking around, Gu Yundong is a little weak, this county government is too shabby, right? It looks like it hasn't been repaired for decades.

"Did the former Master Xu always live in this Houya?"
