As the saying goes, if there is a father, there must be a son, Da Yan and his old son Xu Youcai are generally treacherous and lazy, with improper scheming, and they also love to be greedy and cheap, for Xu Jin, this father and son are like big green worms on vegetable leaves, flies in the toilet, and rats under the gutter.

Because of this, when the big man ran to the capital to play, in order to prevent this guy from being powerful in the capital under his own banner, he deliberately gave him a hundred taels of silver to bring back to Xujia Village, and declared that it was handed over to the old patriarch for sacrificial purposes, this kid got a hundred taels of silver, and sure enough, he immediately slipped back to Jiangxi, just thinking that he had taken a big advantage.

As everyone knows, Xu Jin then wrote two urgent letters to the old patriarch and Han Xin, the big shopkeeper of SF Carriage and Horse Trading, on the one hand, he ordered Han Xin to fire Da Yan, and on the other hand, he told the old patriarch to bind Da Yan in Shangrao County, and don't let him run out and cause trouble everywhere.

Afterwards, Han Sanjin did expel Da Yan from SF Carriage and Horse Trading, and the old patriarch also replied that he had married a daughter-in-law to Da Yan, and he also used the silver given by Xu Jin to set up a store for Da Yan to do cloth business in Shangrao County. So at this time, when he saw Da Yan's goods at the Hangzhou wharf, Xu Jin was naturally quite surprised.

"Uncle Ten!" Da Yan shouted loudly as he stepped forward quickly, for fear that others would not know that he was Xu Jin's nephew.

Xu Jin had just stepped onto the dock from the gangplank, and the big man had already trotted to the front, this kid was dressed like a dog, wearing a brand-new set of housekeeping clothes, and said with a smile: "Uncle Ten, my nephew is here to pick you up." ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but suddenly realize that he was going south this time for personal matters, so he didn't alarm the local government along the way, but he sent someone to greet the hitchhiker shopkeeper in Hangzhou City in advance, and ordered him to prepare a carriage, so that he could abandon the ship from Hangzhou and take the carriage by land.

"Da Yan, you are now the head of Hangzhou Hitchhiker?" Xu Jin frowned and said.

A hint of triumph flashed in Da Han's eyes, and he smiled: "It's early, my nephew is just a little steward now, and the chief steward is in the back!" ”

Da Yan said and pointed behind him, Xu Jin followed what he was looking for, and sure enough, he saw a middle-aged man dressed as a shopkeeper cautiously following behind a group of officials, obviously a steady and cautious person, and did not dare to walk in front of a group of magistrates, only Da Yan, a fool, did not look at it, or this kid relied on himself to be Xu Jin's nephew, and did not put the magistrate of Hangzhou in his eyes at all, at this level, it would be strange not to offend people.

Sure enough, the official in the scarlet robe at the head walked closer, first glanced at the big man with a little dissatisfaction, and then bowed to Xu Jin and said, "The governor of Zhejiang, Wei Yuan, is the next official, and he sees Lord Xu." ”

Last year's governor of Zhejiang was Xi Shu, but now Xi Shu has become a senior secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and now this Wei Yuan is the new governor of Zhejiang. The governor of a province is a proper feudal official, and it is obvious that he has the intention of currying favor with himself as a subordinate official in front of Xu Jin.

Xu Jin smiled and saluted: "Lord Wei is polite. ”

Immediately afterwards, other officials also stepped forward to salute Xu Jin, including Zhejiang's left and right political envoys, probationary envoys, and commanders.

It is no wonder that Xu Jin only served as the governor of Zhejiang last year, and his prestige is still flourishing in the Jiangnan and Jiangbei areas, and now he is still the hottest upstart in the current dynasty, so naturally everyone wants to get close.

"Lord Xu came from afar, he must be tired, the lower official has prepared a place to stay, the adult will take his family to settle down first, and then prepare a thin banquet for Lord Xu." Wei Yuan flattered the authentic.

Xu Jin hurriedly said solemnly: "Lord Wei is kind to the official, this official is going south this time for personal matters, he didn't want to alarm the local government, but now Lord Wei is leading the crowd to greet the marquis here, the official is already uneasy, if he works hard and hurts money and money, and wastes public money and food, it is absolutely undeserved." ”

Governor Wei slapped the horse's leg with this sycophant, and said in a mocking manner: "Lord Xu misunderstood, the money and silver for receiving Lord Xu was not from the government, but from everyone. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, everyone made it up." Other officials immediately helped to relieve the siege.

Xu Jin waved his hand and said: "You have received your kindness, this official has ordered someone to prepare a residence, well, colleagues, please go back, and the officials on the street have also been withdrawn, so as not to interfere with the normal life of the people." ”

Wei Yuan saw Xu Jin's resolute attitude, so he also gave up, ordered his officials to disperse, and removed all the officials who were responsible for clearing the field, and finally personally accompanied Xu Jin to the residence to settle down, and did not leave until it was almost dark.

This residence is prepared by the general manager of Hangzhou SF Automobile and Horse Bank, and it is a three-entry Jiangnan garden-style courtyard, although the area is not too large, but it is enough for Xu Jin and his party to live in 50 people.

Besides, as soon as Xu Jin and the others settled down, Da Yan came in with a young woman, who was still holding a little boy about two years old who was snorting with nasal bubbles.

"This is Uncle Ten, kowtow!" Da Yan pushed the young woman next to him and took the lead in kneeling down and bowing, and the young woman hurriedly knelt down and said, "My nephew and daughter-in-law ask for peace to Uncle Ten!" ”

Xu Jin glanced at the mother-in-law of the big man, and her appearance was quite weekly, but her mouth was a little bigger, and she nodded slightly and said, "No courtesy!" ”

"Big dog, quickly kowtow to your tenth uncle." Da Yan pressed the two-year-old boy with his nose bubbles to the ground, but the latter obviously didn't want to kowtow, just looked at Xu Jin curiously and didn't say anything.

"Ouch, little rabbit, kowtow to Uncle Ten." When the eldest man saw that his son refused to kowtow, he was annoyed, so he forced the little boy to kowtow, but the latter cried with a wow, and two snots spurted out of the elder.

Xu Jin frowned, as the so-called old and old, young and young, although he hated Da Yan, but for a child who was only two years old, neither Xu Jin nor Xie Xiaowan could not be reprimanded.

"Da Yan, the child is still young, so don't knock on this head!" Xu Jin stopped Da Yan, Xie Xiaowan also picked up the little boy named Big Dog, wiped his nose with a handkerchief, and asked Yue'er to bring a pair of gold bracelets for the little guy to wear, the latter stopped crying on the spot, and curiously played with the gold bracelet on his wrist.

Xie Xiaowan said with a smile: "This pair of gold bracelets was worn by Kang'er when she turned one year old, and now it is not suitable to be worn, it is suitable for a big dog to wear, so it can be regarded as a meeting gift from me to the little guy!" ”

Da Yan and his mother-in-law couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard this, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, auntie!" ”

Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang glanced at each other, and finally each gave a jade pendant to the big dog as a meeting gift, Da Yan and his mother-in-law Xu's heart blossomed, it was really a rich man, the quality of these two jade pendants knew that it was worth a lot of money at a glance, so he thanked him with a smile, obviously extremely satisfied with the harvest of this trip.

Da Yan's mother-in-law was still reserved at first, and after chatting with Xie Xiaowan for a while, she began to familiarize herself, revealing her original form, and after a while, she grabbed Fei Ruyi's wrist and said that the jade plate finger was beautiful, and she praised Fei Jixiang's good skin, and asked her what kind of foundation and lipstick she used.

As a result, Xu soon received a lot of cosmetics, hairpins, headwear, etc., and even a lot of worn clothes from the maids.

Xu Jin couldn't help but be speechless, it's really not a family that doesn't enter the door, this one is also amazing, and his greedy and cheap character seems to be better than his husband and father-in-law.

In the end, Xu Jinshi couldn't look at it, and Xie Xiaowan's daughters were obviously extremely bored, but they were just embarrassed by the bad face of their relatives, so they found a reason to send the "bandit" couple away.

Da Yan and Xu left happily with a large pile of "meeting gifts", the girls finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Mei Wan Yue'er patted her bulging chest and said exaggeratedly: "It's really unreasonable, these two stay any longer, I'm afraid they won't even be able to keep the chairs in the house." ”

Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang couldn't help but laugh, Xie Xiaowan reprimanded: "How can you exaggerate, it's a relative of your own family, it doesn't matter if you talk about it in your own family, don't talk nonsense when you return to the village, so as not to hurt other people's face, you know?" ”

"Got it!" Yue'er stuck out her tongue, Madame is good at everything, she is just too kind.

"Master, the senior manager of SF Express is waiting in the living room." Family Ding Xu Fu ran in at this time to report.

Xu Jin nodded, stood up and walked to the living room in the front yard, when he came to the living room, the middle-aged man in the shopkeeper's costume was already waiting in the hall, and when he saw Xu Jin coming in, he hurriedly saluted respectfully: "Little Gao Jin, I've seen Master Hou!" ”

It is said that now SF Carriage and Horse Shop branches have spread all over more than a dozen provinces in Daming, and each province will have a general manager who is responsible for the management of the province's carriage and horse shops, and the person in charge of the specific state and county carriage and horse shops is called the steward, and this Gao Jin is the general manager of SF Carriage and Horse Stores in Zhejiang Province.

Xu Jin sat down on the main seat and said lightly: "Mr. Gao sits!" ”

"The little one just stands!" Gao Jin hurriedly said, he dared to sit down in front of Xu Jin as a small carriage manager.

Xu Jin was not reluctant, frowned and asked, "Xu Jin (Da Yan's name) is in charge under you?" ”

Gao Jin said cautiously: "Lord Hui, yes, and Steward Xu has outstanding ability, and I plan to promote him as the supervisor next month, specifically responsible for the affairs of Shaoxing Mansion." ”

Xu Jin frowned and said, "Outstanding ability? Is this true? ”

Gao Jin's face suddenly froze, and he said curtly: "Steward Xu is indeed ...... Outstanding ability indeed! ”

Xu Jin waved his hand and said lightly: "Manager Gao doesn't have to be taboo, let's be honest, if the big guy really can't do it, just fire it directly, and you don't need to give face to the official." Before, the official asked the big shopkeeper Han Xin to get rid of this treacherous and lazy boy, but for some reason he entered the carriage and horse shop to do things. ”

"Huh!" Gao Jin laughed twice and said, "Lord Xu is serious, although Xu is in charge...... Sometimes I'm lazy, but my ability is still good. ”

Although Xu Jin said it clearly, God knows if he was telling the truth, and Da Han was Xu Jin's nephew, Gao Jin, an outsider, naturally didn't dare to step on Da Yan according to his tone.
