I haven't seen each other for more than two years, and my brother-in-law Xie Sangun has jumped very tall, and his height is already on the same level as Xu Jin's, and he is as strong as an iron tower, which is simply the shrinking board of his father-in-law Xie Qing.

Xu Jin habitually touched Xie Sangun's forehead and sighed: "Sangun, after this year, I'm afraid I will be taller than my brother-in-law." ”

Xie Sangun grinned, his dark eyes revealing a sense of wit.

"Fourth, why are you so dirty? Caught you? Xie Erjian pointed at Xie Sangun's dirty hands and asked.

Xie Sangun's hands were covered with mud, and he was also covered with mud below his knees, the temperature in the middle of spring in the capital was still quite low, and it was really uncomfortable for his clothes to get wet, but fortunately the sun was shining today.

Xie Sangun flicked his sleeves and said nonchalantly: "I got dirty when I repaired the car just now, it's raining these days, and the official roads are all mud pits, otherwise I would have arrived in the capital a few days earlier." ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but glance at the big guy next to him, daring to love Xie Sangun just now when he was repairing the wheel, this thing escaped by, and ran to the bushes on the road to lie in the sun and hide from laziness, it is still as annoying as before, it is really easy to change, and it is difficult to be easy to be natural.

Da Han probably noticed Xu Jin's dissatisfaction, and lowered his head with a wry expression.

Xie Erjian obviously didn't like it, and asked, "Fourth, when did you leave for Beijing, and you didn't write to say hello first, and besides, why did this faceless guy come with you?" ”

Da Yan suddenly said dissatisfiedly: "How can my uncle speak, the shopkeeper Han sent me to Beijing to do business, why did it become three shots, it was almost the same as three guns following me, and I didn't take care of him along the way." ”

Xie Sangun pouted and said: "Come on, don't put gold on your face, if you don't drag me down, you will burn high incense, and you still have the face to take care of me, who sent those little thieves who cut the path?" Did you help fix the carriage breakdown? You are the most active in eating and sleeping. ”

Da Han's momentum suddenly weakened, and he muttered: "I'm not responsible for dealing with the top live on the road, if I wasn't shrewd, you kid was deceived by others and helped count the silver." ”

"I don't know who went to the gambling house to play when he was in Baoding Mansion, and in the end he almost lost all his underwear, if it weren't for the sake of my brother-in-law's family, the master would not be too lazy to care about your life or death." Xie Sangun said mercilessly, obviously he had enough of Da Han along the way.

Xu Jin frowned his sword eyebrows, thinking that Han Sanjin was shrewd, how could he send a man like Da Yan who had not done enough things and had more than enough failures to go to Beijing to do things, and asked lightly: "Da Yan, what did the shopkeeper Han let you do in Beijing?" ”

Da Han, who was still looking embarrassed, suddenly said a little proudly: "Uncle Ten, the business of our SF Car and Horse Store is getting bigger and bigger now, and the branch has been opened to several surrounding provinces, and the shopkeeper Han plans to move the head office to the capital, so let my nephew call the front station and familiarize himself with the routes along the way." ”

Da Yan didn't lie, now the business of SF Cars and Horses is getting bigger and bigger, especially after the major shareholder Zhu Houxi took the shit luck and ascended to the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, SF Cars and Horses is even more explosive, and the number of branches is like a snowball, radiating from Jiangxi to the surrounding provinces, and many places have been swallowed up, this is the power of the emperor's backstage, and it is enough to hang a name.

Of course, Han Sanjin kept Xu Jin's warning in mind, and did not bully the market in the name of the emperor, and the acquisition of other cars and horses was based on the principle of sincerity and voluntariness, and the price given was also very fair.

In other words, the reason why Han Sanjin handed over the task of "fighting the front station" to Da Yan was to give Xu Jin face, and secondly, he was also made out of temper by Da Yan's lazy and lazy nature, so he simply found a reason to send him far away, so as not to be upset.

It happened that Xie Sangun received a letter from his sister Xie Xiaowan asking him to live in Beijing for a period of time after the New Year, so the two drove the carriage into Beijing together.

Xu Jin was hindered by the old patriarch's affection, so he arranged for Da Han to work at SF Carriage and Horse Dealers, and at that time, he also made it clear to Han Xin that he could use it as he wanted, and he didn't have to give himself face.

However, Xu Jin has been smooth sailing in recent years, and he has become more and more official, and he has won the favor of the emperor. As the so-called one person attains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven, as Xu Jin's nephew, Da Yan's status will naturally rise, and the people around him are afraid of him, and Han Xin is naturally no exception, and gradually promoted him to the position of steward.

In this way, the goods became more and more arrogant, it was common for him to be late for work and leave early, and sometimes he was even absent from work for several days in a row, but he took a lot of wages, and what was even more excessive was that he often secretly transported the goods of the carriage and horse for personal gain.

Han Xin receives complaints from the following people almost every few days, and at first he will find Da Yan to reprimand, but he scolds lightly and smiles with you, scolds him heavily and admits his mistakes, and then continues to do his own thing, in the end, as long as Da Yan is not too much, Han Xin is too lazy to care about him anymore.

"Little brother of the Xie family, what happened, didn't you find Steward Xu?"

Xu Jin and the others were talking, and someone from the official road outside shouted again, Xie Sangun hurriedly agreed, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, I forgot to tell you that two of your classmates from Xinjiang Academy also entered Beijing with us." ”

"Classmates?" Xu Jin's heart moved, no wonder the voice sounded a little familiar, but the time had passed so long that he couldn't remember who it was for a while.

At that moment, Xu Jin and the others led the horses, followed Xie Sangun out of the bushes, and came to the official road outside.

I saw a carriage parked in the official road, but it was a cart that pulled goods, and at this time, two young men dressed as scholars were standing next to the carriage, looking nervously at this side.

As soon as Xu Jin saw these two people, he immediately recognized them, hugged his fists and smiled: "Who is it, it turns out to be Brother Yuanhao and Brother Ziyu!" ”

Standing next to the carriage at this moment were Xu Jin's two classmates in Xinjiang Shu County, Cai Yue and Li Yingjun. This pair of good "engine oil" always appears in pairs, and it was also a failure to participate in the county test. Now that three years have passed, the two of them are still wearing the clothes of ordinary scholars, and they haven't even obtained the fame of a child?

Cai Yue and Li Yingjun were stunned for a moment, and carefully glanced at Xu Jin, who was wearing a five-grade official robe, before they shouted in unison: "Brother Ziqian! ”

Xu Jin stepped forward with a smile: "After a few years, I was very happy to meet two classmates in Daozuo." ”

Cai Yue and Li Yingjun both showed a trace of warmth in their eyes, and the latter arched his hand and said with emotion: "I didn't expect Brother Ziqian to remember Brother Zai Xia and Brother Yuanhao. ”

Xu Jin could naturally hear the meaning of the end in Li Yingjun's tone, and said quietly: "This place is deserted and the road is muddy, why don't you go to the house and sit down and talk after entering the city?" Xu Jin also happened to be a landlord. ”

"I don't dare to ask for it!" Cai Yue and Yingjun bowed their hands politely.

At that moment, everyone rode to the west gate of the capital.
