Chapter 73: Sending a Letter
Fei Hong and Fei Cai looked at Xu Jin at the same time, and the latter hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Xu Jin calmly analyzed: "King Ning has regarded Master Fei as a thorn in the flesh, plus now the Qin messenger sent by the imperial court is still in Shangrao County, and Governor Sun is suppressing bandits in neighboring counties, if I am King Ning, I will definitely send someone to closely monitor the Fei family's actions." Therefore, it is very inappropriate for Fei Shi to send someone to Governor Sun at this time, at least it is not safe! ”
Fei Hong and Fei Cai glanced at each other, they did receive a report from their subordinates recently, some suspicious strangers were wandering outside the mansion, and it was very likely that they were the eyeliners sent by King Ning to monitor.
"Well, Xiao Xu's worries are not unreasonable!" Fei Hong stroked his beard and nodded, if his letter to Governor Sun was intercepted by King Ning's people, wouldn't it be a surprise to the snake, not afraid of 10,000, just in case.
Fei Cai frowned and said, "What should I do then?" This news is of great help to Governor Sun to suppress bandits, isn't it sent? ”
Xu Jin pondered for a while and said: "The students will go back to Xujia Village to worship their ancestors after the Dragon Boat Festival, and it just so happens that our village borders Yongping Town, Leadshan County. If Master Fei can trust the student, he can give the letter to the student, and then the student will go to the student himself and deliver the letter to Governor Sun. ”
Fei Hong and Fei Cai couldn't help but be moved, this method is safe, but it may put Xu Jin in danger, you must know that the knife soldiers are being used in Leadshan County, it is not a joke.
Fei Hong frowned and said: "How can the old man not believe Xiao Xu, it's just that the soldiers on the lead mountain are in a panic, and you are a weak scholar who is in danger, if something happens, how can the old man feel at ease!" ”
Of course, Xu Jin didn't want to take this risk, but now that he was tied to the interests of the Fei family, and Governor Sun was the Fei family's reliance, if Sun Sui was transferred by the imperial court due to his ineffective suppression of bandits, who would have to wrestle with King Ning?
What's more, if the group of ferocious bandits in Leadshan County is not exterminated, maybe King Ning will repeat his old tricks and send thieves to attack Shangrao County, then the tragedy of Fei Dian may be repeated, after all, Leadshan County is only more than 100 miles away from here, and it can be killed in half a day by fast horse, and it is only a day's journey to go down the Xinjiang River by boat.
Xu Jin was very insecure at this time, especially after yesterday's troubles in the haggare shop, his sense of security was even more gone, so he had to help Governor Sun Sui exterminate the bandits in Leadshan County.
Moreover, not only must the bandits in Leadshan County be exterminated, but also the minions of King Ning in Shangrao County must be eliminated, including the prefect Lu Kang, otherwise King Ning's people can come if they want to, and they can enter if they want, so what safety is there at all?
Xu Jin already has a preliminary plan in his belly, so this time he wants to personally go to Leadshan County, if the plan goes well, he can build Shangrao County into a safe base, and he doesn't have to worry as much as now.
"Master Fei didn't say just now that those bandits have been besieged in the lead mountain, the students just went to the periphery to send a letter to Governor Sun, there shouldn't be any danger." Xu Jin said quietly.
Fei Hong hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Okay, then the old man will repair the book, but you have to pay attention to safety and bring a few more helpers to take care of it." ”
Xu Jin nodded and said, "If the student is provincial, he will definitely live up to the trust of the teacher!" ”
So Fei Hong repaired a book on the spot, and added his own seal, which was then put into an envelope and handed to Xu Jin.
Xu Jin solemnly put the letter away closely, chatted with each other for a long time, and then got up to say goodbye.
"Xiao Xu is thoughtful, brave and strategic, and his future is limitless, but it's a pity that he has already married!"
After Xu Jin left the study, Fei Cai couldn't help but sigh regretfully, if Xu Jin hadn't gotten married, he would have been a little moved, and he wanted to marry his daughter Fei Jixiang to Xu Jin, but now it's impossible, no matter how much he admires Xu Jin, it is impossible to marry his daughter as a concubine.
"Xu Gongzi, this is the dragon well before the rain, you take it!" The maidservant Hongying handed over a small bag of tea to Xu Jin, and then took him to the outside of the house.
It's a coincidence, just after passing through the Moon Gate last time, I met the three young ladies of the Fei family again.
"Hehe, Xu Jin, let this girl catch you again!" When Fei Xiaoyu saw Xu Jin, she immediately blocked the way with a smile.
Fei Ruyi wore a light yellow Luo skirt today, a light green tooth pinching vest on her upper body, the sixteen-year-old girl's lines have grown, her curves are exquisite, her body is slender, her snow skin is fragrant, and her pretty face is forgetful, and a pair of bright eyes can't help but shine slightly when she sees Xu Jin.
Xu Jin wore a children's uniform today, his hair was tied up, and two blue streamers hung down from the back of his head, showing red lips and white teeth, handsome and elegant, coupled with the calm and calm that did not match his age, which naturally made the girls feel excited.
Xu Jin arched his hand and said, "I've seen three girls!" ”
Fei Ruyi's face was slightly dizzy, and she nodded in response, while Fei Jixiang said generously: "Young Master Xu doesn't have to be polite!" ”
"Cut, don't be sour, hehe, Xu Jin, your first piece of wood picking is so interesting, Ning Wang Shizi's expression at that time must have been very exciting, it's good, give our Fei family a breath of relief." But Xu Jin, what kind of woman and husband is too awkward in your poem, this girl looks weird! Fei Xiaoyu, this little pepper, said a lot of words like a cannon as soon as she opened her mouth.
Xu Jin couldn't help but sweat secretly, the picture was seen when he looked at the history of the Ming Dynasty in his previous life, and he felt that Concubine Lou was a pity for this talented woman, so he remembered this poem, originally wanted to borrow it to show his attitude, but he didn't expect this poem Concubine Lou to have not written it now (in fact, it has been written, but it has not been spread).
Fei Ruyi frowned and said, "Fifth sister doesn't understand, don't talk nonsense, Xu Gongzi is a pretending method!" ”
"Oh oh, you scholars are troublesome, if you can't say anything directly, you borrow someone else's tone!" Fei Xiaoyu pursed her lips, suddenly rolled her eyes, and said with a smile: "The third sister can't look down on others who say that Xu Jin is not good!" ”
Fei Ruyi's pretty face turned red, and the beauty made Xu Jin couldn't help but lose his mind slightly, and hurriedly looked away, and arched his hand: "I'm leaving!" ”
Looking at Xu Jin who fled in the wilderness, Fei Xiaoyu giggled heartlessly and said, "Did you see it just now, Xu Jin blushed after seeing the third sister just now, cut, his face is so thin!" ”
Fei Ruyi was ashamed and angry, and reached out to grab Fei Xiaoyu's ear, who cleverly dodged it, and then spread his legs and ran, so angry that Fei Ruyi stomped his feet.
Xu Jin listened to the gradually smaller noise behind him, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, Fei Xiaoyu's little pepper is sometimes really unbearable.
"Xu Gongzi, the fifth girl has always been open-mouthed, don't take what you said just now to heart!" Red Tassel said apologetically.
Xu Jin snorted, and couldn't help but think of Fei Ruyi's pretty face covered with red glow, I have to say, it's beautiful!
Hongying glanced at Xu Jin with a somewhat complicated expression, silently led the way in front, and sent Xu Jin out of the door.
"It's a little dark, it may be raining, Xu Gongzi bring the umbrella!" Hongying took an umbrella at the gatehouse and handed it to Xu Jin.
Xu Jin thanked him, took the umbrella and walked down the stone steps in front of the Fei Mansion.
Jiangxi is located in the south, summer is the rainy season, especially in the area of Poyang Lake, the vast lake brings abundant precipitation to this fertile land, giving birth to a side of water and soil at the same time, but also brings disaster, once Poyang Lake is flooded, the surrounding floods are continuous, if it coincides with the period of crop flowering and pollination, it is soaked by the flood, the harvest of this stubble is basically lost.
As soon as Xu Jin returned to the store, it began to rain heavily in the sky, and the streets suddenly jumped with chickens and dogs, and people hurriedly ran to the shops on the street to take shelter from the rain.
Xu Jin couldn't help but secretly rejoice, with such a heavy rain, even if he opened an umbrella, he was afraid that he would be wet, and the handwritten letter from Fei Hong in his arms would also suffer.
"Xianggong is back!"
Xie Xiaowan, who was sitting in a daze boredly, saw Xu Jin come in, and her eyes suddenly lit up, and she came up and took the umbrella in his hand.
Xu Jin glanced at the restaurant a little strangely, there was not a single diner, this situation is rare, and he couldn't help frowning: "Xiaowan, are there no guests coming?" ”
Xie Xiaowan's mouth suddenly pursed, and she pointed to the side of the carriage and horse shop opposite: "Aunt Qian opened a five-spice haggis shop there, and she also sells noodles!" ”
Xu Jinxing looked at the door, although it was raining heavily outside, but the distance was not far, so he vaguely saw that a new food shop had opened near the entrance of the carriage and horse shop, and the flag read: Aunt Qian spiced haggis.
Xu Jin couldn't help frowning, that Aunt Qian's hands and feet were not clean, and she was fired by him some time ago, but she didn't expect to open a spiced lamb grocery store opposite to grab business.
But after thinking about it, Xu Jin felt that it was inappropriate, opening a store is not something that can be opened, even if you have the capital, you have to know the store, Aunt Qian has the ability to get the store up so quickly?
Xu Jin's heart moved, and he asked, "Xiaowan, are the people from the carriage and horse shop on the other side not coming to help today?" ”
Xie Xiaowan nodded aggrievedly and said, "I'm not coming, I secretly asked Yan Laofu, and he said that the shopkeeper of the carriage and carriage does not allow them to patronize us, otherwise they will not be able to pull the cart in the carriage and horse shop!" ”
Xu Jin couldn't help but look pale, as expected, this is definitely a ghost who doesn't care about things, this trick is really poisonous, the main customer group of the haggis shop is the coachmen of the car and horse shop, and the general manager is to collapse his haggis shop. Tsk, this professional technique is much more simple and clever than Ning Wang Shizi's roughness!
"Xianggong, what should we do in the future?" Xie Xiaowan's eyes were red and red, she finally started the business of the store, seeing that this business was about to be broken, and there was no income, what should she do in the future?
Xu Jin couldn't help but feel distressed for a while, hugged Xie Xiaowan lightly into his arms, and comforted: "Don't worry, it's only temporary, at Aunt Qian's level, how can the things made be as good as my Xiaowan, as long as the things are good, I am not afraid that they can't be sold!" ”
Xie Xiaowan couldn't help but burst into tears and smiled: "Xianggong is right, today I asked someone to go to Aunt Qian's haggis shop to buy a bowl of spiced haggis and come back to taste it, it's far worse than ours, it's too fat!" ”
Xu Jin knew that this would be the case, that Aunt Qian had been working in the store for less than two months, and the haggis was usually bought and processed by Xie Xiaowan when she got up early in the morning, and Aunt Qian didn't learn the trick at all.
Of course, Don't care about it now that you've cut off the source of customers on your side, you have to find a way to solve this problem, but Xu Jin is not in a hurry, he really can't publish a book, this road is not passable, there are other roads, and the big living people can still suffocate to urine, and Don't care about himself too much!
