Da Yan was severely reprimanded by Xu Jin, his face turned white suddenly, and he apologized to Yue'er with a bowed head, the latter was very happy, snorted coldly with a sweet face, and put the bowl of sugar water on the table and retreated coldly.

Xu Jin glanced at the big man who was obediently lowering his head, but his eyes were spinning around in his bones, and he was very disgusted in his heart, this kid was the same as his old son Xu Youcai, treacherous and lazy, and loved to take advantage of small advantages. If it weren't for the feudal society with a strong atmosphere of ethnic concepts, Xu Jin would have swept this goods out of the house immediately, and wouldn't have cared about your bullshit relatives.

"Da Han, the patriarch asked you to come?" Xu Jin sat down in the chair next to him and asked.

"That's not it, my nephew is pulling goods to Nanchang City, and I will bring a letter to Uncle Ten by the way." Da Yan said and took the opportunity to sit down, picked up the bowl of sugar water and drank it, like a pig eating water, and the sound made was extremely unpleasant.

In other words, the carriage and horse freight business in Jiangxi was originally controlled by King Ning's mansion, but now King Ning's rebellion failed and his house was raided, and the carriage and horse shops under his name were naturally seized. The chariot and horse business is an extremely lucrative business, so the powerful gentry from all over the country have come to compete for this tempting big cake.

Han Xin, as a profiteer with a keen sense of touch, how could he miss such a great opportunity, and he didn't need Xu Jin's instructions at all, and preemptively drove the branch of SF Carriage and Horse Shop to Nanchang City.

Of course, the reason why Han Xin was able to successfully grab so much land was entirely because of Xu Jin's influence. Xu Jin's Guangxin Mansion was not done in vain, and he led the army to recover all the prefectures and counties along the way from Leadshan to Nanchang, and the main officials of the counties were also picked up by him, and these officials naturally opened the door to SF's carriage and horse dealings.

However, as the saying goes, it is difficult to eat alone, and you can't take all the benefits of doing business, so under the instruction of Xu Jin, SF Car and Horse Shop will absorb some local gentry into the stock in the process of expansion, as long as the controlling stake is guaranteed, which can not only alleviate the contradiction, but also obtain the funds needed for expansion.

With the rapid expansion of SF's carriage and horse store territory, it naturally needs a large number of manpower, so the big man who originally fed the horses in the head office of Shangrao County was also promoted by Han Xin to be a handlebar, and his salary was also raised from one or two or five dollars to two taels of silver.

This time, he went to Nanchang City to pull goods, and gave Xu Jin a letter by the way, and at the same time wanted to take the opportunity to hug his thighs.

Xu Jin took the letter from Da Yan's hand, and did not open it immediately, but asked, "Da Yan, is there anything else?" ”

"I didn't ...... Oh, by the way, the patriarch also asked me to bring a message, so that Uncle Ten had better go back to the village before entering Beijing. ”

Xu Jin nodded slightly and said: "I will consider this matter, if there is nothing else, you can go to work, save the wrong goods!" ”

Xu Jin really couldn't stand this kid's obscene eyes drifting away, and dismissed the matter as soon as possible.

"Uh...... That one! "Ai Ai's ass seems to be glued, and she just refuses to leave the stool.

Xu Jinjian's eyebrows raised slightly: "Something else?" ”

"I didn't ...... It's okay, nephew retires! The big man stood up in a daze, saw that there was still a small sip of sugar water in the bowl, took it up and licked it again, and then turned around and went out.

Da Yan originally wanted to ask Xie Xiaowan for a silver reward, but Xu Jin sat here with a golden sword, he really didn't have the courage, so he could only leave in a gloomy manner, without any benefit.

Xie Xiaowan whispered a little worriedly: "Xianggong, I'm afraid it's not good like this, why don't I chase him out and give Da Han some errand money?" ”

Xu Jin waved his hand and said, "No need! ”

Yue'er echoed: "Madam, this kind of person shouldn't give a reward, I hate it to death!" ”

Xu Jin is not shallow-eyed, but for Xu Youcai's father and son, he can't get used to it, so he has to teach a lesson, so as not to get into trouble with himself in the future.

"Bah, what the hell, I've lifted my tail to the sky after taking the test, drag a fart, and see how the master will discredit you when he goes back to the village."

Da Yan didn't get any benefit from sending the letter this time, and was reprimanded by Xu Jin, so he spat angrily when he walked out of the door of the house.

For a certain person, if you treat him well a thousand times, he will take it for granted, but if you treat him badly once, he will remember it for you for the rest of his life. Da Yan is obviously this kind of person, obviously the rice bowl he is holding now is given to him by Xu Jin, just because he didn't get the reward for an errand, he immediately remembered his hatred.

Of course, as Xu Jin, he doesn't care about being hated by such a small character. At this time, in the hall, Xu Jin was folding the letter and reading it, and after reading it, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, the plan really couldn't catch up with the changes.

This letter was sent by the little slave Zhu Houxi, mentioning that his father King Xing was seriously ill and estimated that time was running out, and he hoped that Xu Jin would take Xie Xiaowan to visit him and his father. This letter is neat but immature, obviously written by the little slave herself, and there is a worry and admiration for her father between the lines, as well as her attachment to Xiaowan's sister.

Xie Xiaowan couldn't help but ask, "Xianggong, little slave...... What did His Royal Highness say in his letter? ”

"Lord Xing is seriously ill, Xiaowan, I'm afraid we have to go to Huguang'an Luzhou!" Xu Jin handed the letter to Xie Xiaowan.

Xie Xiaowan snorted lightly, hurriedly took the letter and read it carefully, and Yue'er also came over.

After reading the letter, Xie Xiaowan sighed lightly and said, "The prince was fine last year, why did he suddenly get so sick." ”

Xu Jin was not surprised at all, last year, Xingwang Zhu Youyuan came to pick up the little slave, he was fat, yawning repeatedly, and he was out of breath when he walked, obviously in poor health. At the beginning, he was frightened by the bandit leader Wu Sanba in the haggis shop, and he almost didn't hold his breath, but finally took a so-called "panacea" to relieve himself.

Therefore, King Xing is suddenly seriously ill now, Xu Jin is not surprised, and according to history, before Zhu Houxi ascended the throne, King Xing had already hung up, so it is estimated that this time it will be more auspicious.

"Xianggong, then when will we leave for Huguang'an Luzhou?" Xie Xiaowan asked, although she didn't have any feelings with King Xing, but she was someone's righteous daughter, and she also regarded the little slave as her younger brother in her heart.

Xu Jin said: "Without further ado, pack up now, let's set off tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up if it's late!" ”

"Xu Lang, you're going to Huguang tomorrow?" The two sisters, Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang, turned out from behind the screen, and the former's pretty face was obviously a little pale.

Xu Jin went to attend the Luming banquet this morning, Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang sisters have been staying in the house, and lunch is also eaten here, but they have been staying in the back house, just now I heard that Yahuan said that Xu Jin has returned, so I walked out, and I happened to hear the conversation between Xu Jin and Xie Xiaowan.

Xu Jin said apologetically: "Ruyi, I'm sorry, King Xing is terminally ill, Xiaowan and I are going to visit, and I can't go back to Leadshan County with you." ”

"Oh!" Fei Ruyi gritted his teeth and asked, "That'...... Did you come back before you entered Beijing? ”

Xu Jin shook his head and said, "Don't go back, set off directly from Huguang to Beijing!" ”

Fei Ruyi's pretty face that was disgusting and happy suddenly turned pale, which means that she may not see Xu Jin for more than a year.

Seeing this, Xu Jin felt guilty and a little distressed, and couldn't help but step forward to hold Fei Ruyi's soft wattle, and Fei Jixiang next to him walked away embarrassedly. Xie Xiaowan beckoned to Yue'er, and the two of them also walked out of the hall, leaving the space for the two to say goodbye.

"Ruyi, this time next year, I will come back to pick you up!" Xu Jin said softly.

Fei Ruyi's delicate body trembled, and her pale pretty face was instantly covered with red glow, she naturally understood what Xu Jin meant by the word "pick-up", and her filial piety period would end in August next year.

Xu Jin wrapped his left hand and hugged Fei Ruyi's soft delicate body into his arms, the latter hugged Xu Jin emotionally, very hard, as if he wanted to dissolve himself into his sweetheart's body, and only after a long time did he raise his pretty face, his beautiful eyes were full of mist, and he said softly: "Xu Lang, people are waiting for you to pick it up!" ”

Xu Jin bowed his head and kissed the girl's water chestnut-like mouth.
