Guozijian is located in the northeast corner of the inner city, while Ming Shifang is in the southeast corner of the inner city, one south and one north, the distance is a bit far, so Xu Jin takes a carriage to and from school every day.

After school on the afternoon of 13 May, Xu Jin and Fei Maozhong went to Guozijian together.

The Fei family has a residence in Beijing, but after Fei Hong resigned and returned to his hometown, only two servants were left to guard it.

At the beginning of this year, Zhou Heng, the chief housekeeper of the Fei Mansion, came to the capital and brought some clothes and silver taels to Fei Maozhong, and also brought Xu Jin a huge sum of more than 8,000 taels of silver, which was the dividends of the carriage and horse shop the year before and last year, which really scared Xu Jin. Of course, more than 60% of the more than 8,000 taels of silver belonged to the little emperor Zhu Houxi, because he accounted for 40% of the dry shares and was the largest shareholder, while Xu Jin and the Fei family each accounted for 20% of the dry shares. Originally, the Lou family also accounted for 20% of the dry shares, but since the Lou family was copied, these 20% of the dry shares naturally disappeared and were allocated to other new shareholders.

Since the rebellion of King Ning was put down, SF Che Ma Xing has developed rapidly under the management of Han Xin, a "dead grass", and in just two years, its branches have spread throughout Jiangxi, and it is currently expanding to surrounding provinces. Now that Zhu Houxi, the major shareholder, is sitting on the throne, it is even more incredible, with the emperor as a backer, who is competing?

Therefore, it is only a matter of time before SF Car and Horse Shop becomes an oligarch covering the entire Daming transportation industry, and in a few years it will pay a dividend of 80,000 taels, and Xu Jin will not find it surprising.

In addition to bringing Xu Jin a huge sum of money, Steward Zhou also brought two things, sweet potatoes and chili seeds, which Xu Jin instructed in the letter to bring.

After the spring ploughing festival on February 2, Xiaowan opened two open fields in the yard and planted sweet potatoes and peppers, and now after a few months, the peppers are ripe. It was precisely because Xie Xiaowan was going to make spiced haggis today, so after Guozi supervised school, the greedy Fei Maozhong planned to go home with Xu Jin to eat.

"If you calculate carefully, I haven't eaten spiced haggis for more than two years, Ziqian, hurry up and hurry up, I can't wait!"

Xu Jin and Fei Maozhong walked along the stone road between the flower beds to the gate of Guozijian, and the latter stroked his lower abdomen as he walked, looking hungry and thirsty.

Xu Jin couldn't help laughing and said: "What's the hurry, no one is robbing you, it's enough, just don't break your stomach!" ”

The two were talking, and there happened to be a few people turning out of another fork in the flower garden, and they were all Jiangxi fellow villagers of this year.

"Brother Ziqian, Brother Minshou!" Several Jiangxi people in the same year hurriedly stopped to say hello.

Xu Jin returned the salute and said with a smile: "You guys are going to drink in the same year?" ”

"Yes...... Ah, no, let's go to the street to buy some paper, pen and ink, hehe, disturb Brother Ziqian and Brother Minshou to chat, and say goodbye! Several Jiangxi fellow villagers quickened their pace and left, their expressions obviously a little unnatural.

Fei Maozhong said slightly angrily: "The road knows the horsepower, and the people will see the hearts of the people over time." When these guys learned that Ziqian had hated Yang Ge Lao and Mao Shangshu, they all began to alienate you. These people are not good friends! ”

Xu Jin looked indifferent, it is the nature of animals to seek good fortune and avoid evil, let alone people. Yang Tinghe is the first assistant of the cabinet, and he is the leader of the Ming officialdom and even the entire literary world, he is not liked by him, and others naturally dare not get too close to him, so as not to become a fish in the pond. Of course, Fei Minshou is also pertinent, those people are indeed not suitable for friends.

"Calculate the time, the emperor's edict from Fei Shi is about to be delivered to Leadshan County!" Xu Jin smiled and diverted the topic.

"It's estimated that it's going to be soon, and they should be able to get to the capital in July and August at the latest!" Fei Maozhong said with joy on his face.

Since the ninth year of Zhengde, Fei Hong and Fei Cai were forced to resign, and the Fei family of Lead Mountain fell into a seven-year trough.

The Fei family brothers went to Beijing to resume their jobs, and the Fei family naturally followed into Beijing, thinking of Fei Ruyi's pretty face, Xu Jin's mood was both eager and ashamed. At that time, His Excellency the Fuji King said goodbye in a hurry, and it was almost two years in the blink of an eye, and the promise made at the beginning could not be fulfilled because of the rescheduling of the palace examination.

Although there is a reason for the incident, Xu Jin still feels very guilty, in modern times, I am afraid that few girls are willing to wait for their boyfriends for two years silently thousands of miles away, especially if they can't even see each other within two years, the probability of breaking up in the end is only as high as 90%, after all, lovesickness can kill.

So Xu Jin felt that he owed Ruyi and couldn't delay it any longer, Xu Jin decided to wait for the Fei family to enter Beijing and then propose, fortunately, with his relationship with the little emperor, it was easy for him to give a marriage to him, and then he would marry Ruyi in a beautiful manner.

"Hey, isn't that Xu Wuyuan? Hey, surnamed Xu, stand for Ben Shao! ”

Xu Jinzheng's thoughts fluctuated, and suddenly he heard a very unhappy voice, and he couldn't help frowning, and Fei Maozhong sank his face unhappily, and said in a low voice: "A group of wine bags and rice bags!" ”

I saw several guys chasing after me, all of whom were noble children who were studying in the Guozi Prison, and two of them were Guo Shouqian, the son of the Marquis of Wuding, and Zhang Rui, the grandson of the Marquis of Shouning.

These noble sons and daughters who relied on their connections to enter the Guozijian had no intention of learning at all, and they were playing tricks and dogs all day long, causing trouble, which seriously lowered the overall quality of the Guozijian, the highest institution of learning in the Ming Dynasty. These guys are as annoying as the green worms on the leaves, the cockroaches in the toilets, and the rats in the pits!

Xu Jin had been in the Guozi Prison for a year, and he basically recognized all of these pests, glanced at Yan Shifan, the dog-legged man standing behind Guo Shouqian, and said lightly: "What is the matter with Young Master Guo?" ”

Xu Jin didn't look at these well-fed and supported noble children in his eyes, but it was Yan Shifan, who stared at him, that made him a little jealous. No way, Yan Shifan's reputation in later generations is too loud, his Lao Tzu is a traitor Yan Song, Jiajing has been in charge of the government for more than ten years in the middle and late periods, and he is powerful.

In addition, the reason why Xu Jin was so impressed by Yan Shifan was because according to the research of experts, the famous colored book "Golden Plum Bottle", which was famous in later generations, and the best prostitute Ximen Qing was the original form of Yan Shifan, because the word Deqiu, the number of the East Building, and the West Gate alluded to the East Building.

I don't know if it's influenced by historical records, or for other reasons, whenever Xu Jin sees this dead fat man who looks harmless to humans and animals, he will be instinctively vigilant. This product is not easy to mess with!

At this time, Guo Shouqian said with a smile: "Xu Jin, the day after tomorrow is the palace test, Ben Shao has already spent a penny in the Silver Hook Gambling House, bet on you to win the champion, don't let Ben Shao down!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the other noble disciples immediately burst out laughing, laughing very arrogantly.
