On the sixth day of the first month of the 14th year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty, the smell of the New Year in Xujia Village, Shangrao County has not yet dispersed, the doors of every household are pasted with brand-new Spring Festival couplets, and there are still paper scraps scattered after setting off firecrackers on the ground, and children in new clothes are running around in the village to play and play.

In the house of the chief Xu Youguang, the mother-in-law Pei Shi was packing up for her son Erniu, and she was babbling and complaining that her son had been home for less than a month, and the year was not over and she was about to set off again.

Xu Youguang said impatiently: "Don't talk endlessly, what do you know about a woman?" You don't look at the current momentum of the tenth brother, just the brain of the second child of our family, it has been eight lifetimes of great luck to be able to get such an errand, and others can't ask for it by burning incense and worshiping the Buddha. ”

Pei Shi immediately shut up, in fact, the generation was just complaining, in fact, he was still very satisfied with his son Erniu's errand. Now the tenth brother Xu Jin is only fifteen years old, and he already has a reputation for showing talent, and he is also the head of the three cases of the boy test, the future future can be described as limitless, how can his son lose money if he follows him as an entourage?

Although the generation family doesn't know a big character, but the reason of the three officials in front of the prime minister's door still understands, not to mention that the tenth brother Xu Jin returned to the village before the Chinese New Year, not only brought a cart of gifts to the clansmen, but also sat at home alone for a while, and gave his son a big red envelope, saying that it was a year-end bonus or something, and there were ten taels of silver in it, and Pei's jaw almost fell off.

Soon, Pei's packed up, handed the burden to Er Niu, and instructed: "If you go, you must serve your tenth uncle attentively, don't clumsily recruit your aunt to be unhappy, there is no place to cry when I turn around and drive you back!" ”

Er Niu Han smiled and said: "Mother, the child knows, besides, the aunt is good, but you are not shallow!" ”

"Ouch, little rabbit cub, I have followed your tenth uncle for more than half a year, and I dare to say that your mother is shallow!" Pei Shi twisted his son's ear in annoyance, and the latter bared his teeth and smirked.

Xu Jinguang said: "It's not too early, the tenth brother should be ready, the second brother goes, and you must be diligent in waiting for your tenth uncle in the future." ”

"Dad, I know, my brain is not smart enough, anyway, Uncle Ten will do whatever I want me to do, let's go!" Erniu went out with a burden on his back.

At this moment, the old house of Xu Jin's family is full of villagers at the moment, all of whom are here to see him off, because today Xu Jin is leaving the village to return to the county seat.

In other words, Xu Jin returned to Xujia Village on the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and the Spring Festival was also spent in the village. Before the Chinese New Year, under the control of the patriarch Xu Deming, the Xu family once again held a grand sacrifice to celebrate the Xu family's son Xu Jin won the first place in the middle of the show, and another sacrifice was held on the second day of the Lunar New Year, but the scale was smaller, but it also made Xu Xiucai tired enough.

It is said that Xu Jin also made a special trip to Guojia Village yesterday to pay New Year's greetings to Guo Fuzi and give him a rich festival gift. Although Guo Fuzi actually only gave Xu Jin a one-day lesson, he respected the teacher, and this form still had to be taken seriously.

Today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, because the eighth day of the Lunar New Year is going to Yugan County to attend the wedding banquet of his brother-in-law, so Xu Jin decided to go back to the county today, rest for a day on the seventh day of the new year, and set off on the eighth day of the new year.

Among the many villagers gathered in the courtyard of Xu Jin's house at this moment, the fourth Xu Youcai's family is also impressively listed.

Last year, Li Zhen, the leader of the lead mountain thieves, attacked Xujia Village, Xu Youcai's goods because he ran home to get the silver, but was caught by Li Zhen and broke his leg, and then was trampled by the horses, although he was lucky to pick up his life in the end, but his right leg was lame, and he had to walk on crutches for the rest of his life.

"The old ten, you can tell the tenth brother, our eldest brother is smarter than the second cow, let him follow...... Hehe, I'm not saying that I want to let Da Yan replace Erniu, with the current identity of the tenth brother, how can one entourage be enough, at least two! ”

Xu Youcai's mother-in-law, He Shi, pulled Xie Xiaowan aside and cheekily begged to take her son Da Yan in.

It is said that since returning to the village, there are really a lot of clansmen who come to beg Xie Xiaowan to take in their son as an entourage, which is directly related to the big red envelope that Xu Jin gave to Erniu for ten taels of silver.

Xie Xiaowan said apologetically: "Fourth sister-in-law, my father-in-law really doesn't need so many followers, and besides, he can't live at home!" ”

He said disapprehantly: "Old Shi's family, you are now the righteous daughter of King Xing, how can that small mansion in the city be worthy of your identity, in my opinion, it is better to quickly buy another big mansion, so that you can live in it." ”

Yue'er couldn't help frowning, she had seen a shameless one, but she had never seen such a shameless one, and said lightly: "You said it lightly, you don't need silver to buy a big house?" ”

He glanced at Yue'er, although he was unhappy, but this girl from the palace didn't dare to offend, and said with a smile: "Miss Yue'er, others don't know, but I know, Prince Xing gave Xiaowan a dowry of 1,000 taels of silver, not to mention that the tenth brother is still running a business of carriage and horse dealers, and it is not easy to buy a big mansion every day?" ”

Xu Youcai next to him said with a smile: "Exactly, the old ten, you see that the fourth brother has a broken leg now, I can't work in the field, and there are still five people in the family waiting to eat. The fourth brother just wants the eldest brother to follow the tenth brother to earn some money and help make up for the family. It's really difficult at home! ”

Xie Xiaowan was a kind-hearted person, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but soften, glanced at the pitiful big man standing next to her with her head down, and said embarrassedly: "Alas...... I can't be the master of this, I have to ask my father-in-law! ”

He said with a smile: "Old ten, you ask, hurry up and ask before you set off." ”

"Lady, what's the matter?"

Xu Jin was talking to the patriarch Xu Deming in the house, and noticed that Xu Youcai's family surrounded Xiao Wan and muttered, and Xiao Wan's girl looked embarrassed, and looked back into the house from time to time, so she walked out.

"Hehe, tenth brother!" Xu Youguang and his wife saw Xu Jin and hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

Xie Xiaowan saw Xu Jin come out, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, it doesn't matter if she invites one more entourage, but she doesn't like this big guy in her heart, she has a virtue with his old man, he is slippery and lazy, and he likes to take advantage of small advantages, last time the two fathers and sons went to the haggis shop and ate up the whole pot of haggis, this big man also took a teapot in the store before leaving, how can this kind of person stay around?

Xie Xiaowan said lightly: "Xianggong, the fourth brother wants to let the eldest brother follow you and wait for you!" ”

Xu Jin glanced at Da Han, who lowered his head and deliberately pretended to be well-behaved, his sword eyebrows wrinkled imperceptibly, and he smiled: "Da Yan, do you want to do things with me?" ”

Xu Youcai hurriedly slapped the back of Da Yan's head and scolded: "Your tenth uncle asked you, can you be smart!" ”

Da Yan hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, Uncle Ten!" ”

Xu Jin nodded and said, "Okay, you go back and clean up, and you will enter the city with me later!" ”

Xu Youcai and his wife were overjoyed, He immediately took a burden out and put it on his son's back, dared to prepare the luggage early, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Tenth Brother, even if I do, Tenth Brother will not forget his roots!" ”

Xie Xiaowan glanced at Xiang Gong in amazement, she thought that Xiang Gong would refuse, but she didn't expect to agree in one bite. Of course, since Xianggong agreed, Xie Xiaowan naturally would not object, because she knew that Xianggong must have his reasons for doing this, but she was stupid and didn't understand.

Yahuan Yue'er pouted, although this big man has been keeping his head down, but his eyes are boneless, and he peeks at his chest and buttocks from time to time, obviously a dishonest guy.

In fact, Xu Jin also didn't like this big guy very much, but when he chatted with the patriarch Xu Deming just now, although the latter didn't say it directly, he had the intention of letting himself help Xu Youcai in his words. Xu Youcai has broken his leg now, and his life is indeed difficult, if he flatly refuses, he is afraid that it will attract gossip from the clansmen, so Xu Jin agreed.

Of course, although Xu Jin took in the big guy out of affection, he would not stay by his side, and when he entered the city, he would be stuffed into the carriage and horse shop as a buddy, although this kid was treacherous and loved to take advantage of a small advantage, but he worked under Han Sanjin, who was known as a dead grass, hey, who took advantage of it is another matter!

At about eight o'clock in the morning, the carriage left Xujia Village, and the whole village was sent to the entrance of the village, and now Xu Jin is the pride and hope of the entire Xujia Village.

Da Yan sat in the passenger seat with his burden on his back, and waved goodbye to his envious playmate triumphantly, as if he had soared with Xu Jin as an entourage.

Gradually, Xujiacun was thrown out of sight, and Da Yan rubbed his hands and said, "Brother Erniu, let me drive, you rest for a while, and then change you at noon!" ”

When I first arrived, I naturally had to show my favor with Uncle Ten. The second cow was honest, and when he heard the words, he handed the horse whip to the big man, and hummed: "Be careful, don't hurry too fast, the carriage is not the same as the ox cart!" ”

"Got it, steady!" Da Yan took the whip and swung it out excitedly, it felt like he was used to driving a tractor, and suddenly changed to a BMW, cool!

It's just that it didn't take long for the carriage to hit the roadbed when it turned, and it almost didn't overturn, Xie Xiaowan and Yue'er in the carriage kowtowed, and the tears of the two girls came out.

Xu Jin couldn't help but be extremely annoyed, but he didn't have a seizure on the spot, and ordered Erniu to be in charge of driving. Da Han understood that he was unhappy to recruit Uncle Shi, but he was much more honest along the way.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the carriage arrived at Shangrao County, Xu Jin didn't even enter the house, and immediately brought Da Yan to the carriage and horse shop, and asked Han Sanjin to arrange his work, and privately instructed Han Xin not to be "polite", just do what he wants.

So Han Sanjin smiled and arranged for Da Yan to be responsible for feeding the horses, including feeding the horses, washing the horses, cleaning the horse manure in the stables, etc., but the monthly salary is one or two or five yuan, which is much better than plowing the fields at home.

Therefore, as a clan relative, Xu Jin can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, it depends on whether he knows how to cherish this product, if he works hard, Han Sanjin will still mention him.
