Da Ya was severely scolded by Xu Jin, and his face immediately turned pale. He apologized to Yue'er with a slumped head. The latter was so happy that he snorted with a sweet face and put the bowl of sugar water on the table.

He retreated coldly.

Xu Jin glanced at Da Yao, who had his head lowered obediently but his eyes were darting around. He felt disgusted in his heart. This boy had the same character as his father, Xu Youcai. He was cunning, lazy, and loved to take advantage of others. If it wasn't for him in the ethnic group,

In a feudal society with a strong ideological atmosphere, Xu Jinbao would immediately kick this guy out of the house and not care about your bullshit relatives.

"Master, did the patriarch ask you to come?" Xu Jin sat down on the chair next to him and asked.

"That's not true. My nephew is bringing goods to Nanchang City, and he wants to send a letter to Uncle Ten on the way." As he said, he took the opportunity to sit down, picked up the bowl of sugar water and drank it like a pig drinking water.

The sound it makes is extremely unpleasant.

By the way, the carriage and horse freight business in Jiangxi was originally controlled by Prince Ning's Mansion. Now that Prince Ning's rebellion failed and his house was confiscated, all the carriage and horse shops under his name were naturally sealed. The carriage and horse business is an extremely profitable business.

Therefore, powerful gentry from all over the country have taken action to compete for this attractive big cake.

As a profiteer with a keen sense of touch, how could Han Xin miss such a great opportunity? He drove the branch of SF Cars and Horses to Nanchang without Xu Jin's orders. Now there are SF Cars and Horses in seven counties in Guangxin Prefecture.

The semicolon in the industry is doing a prosperous business, making money every day.

Of course, the reason why Han Xin was able to successfully seize so much territory was entirely because of Xu Jin's influence. Xu Jin, the general magistrate of Guangxin Prefecture, did not do it for nothing, and he led the army in all the prefectures and counties along the way from Qianshan to Nanchang.

After the reconquest, he single-handedly promoted the main officials in each county, and these officials naturally opened the door to SF Express.

However, as the saying goes, it is difficult to gain weight by eating alone, and you cannot take all the benefits of doing business. Therefore, under Xu Jin's instruction, SF Car and Horse Racing will attract some local gentry to become shareholders during the expansion process, as long as the controlling stake is guaranteed.

, this can not only alleviate conflicts, but also obtain the funds needed for expansion.

With the rapid expansion of SF Express's territory, it naturally requires a large number of manpower. Therefore, Daqiao, who was originally feeding horses at the head office of Shangrao County, was promoted by Han Xin to become a handler, and his salary was also raised from one to two to five yuan.

Two taels of silver.

This time I went to Nanchang City to buy goods, and I sent a letter to Xu Jin on the way. I also wanted to take the opportunity to hug him. It would be best if I could stay with Uncle Ten, or get some reward money.

Xu Jin took the letter from Da Ya and did not open it immediately, but asked: "Da Ya, is there anything else?"

"No... Oh, by the way, the patriarch also asked me to bring a message to Uncle Ten to go back to the village before going to Beijing."

Xu Jin nodded slightly and said: "I will consider this matter. If you have nothing else to do, just go to work and avoid missing the goods!"

Xu Jin couldn't stand the boy's wretched eyes and looked away, so he got rid of the problem as soon as possible.

"Uh... that!" Da Ya was so excited that his butt seemed to be stuck and he refused to leave the stool.

Xu Jin raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is there anything else?"

"No...it's okay, nephew, please excuse me!" The old man stood up sullenly. When he saw that there was still a small mouthful of sugar water in the bowl, he picked it up and licked it all, then turned around and went out.

Da Ya originally wanted to ask Xie Xiaowan for a silver reward, but Xu Jin was sitting here with a golden sword. He really didn't have the courage, so he could only leave in despair, without getting any benefits.

Xie Xiaowan whispered worriedly: "Mr. sir, I'm afraid this is not good. How about I chase you out and give you some money for running errands?"

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

Yue'er echoed: "Madam, you shouldn't give rewards to people like this, they're so annoying!"

Xu Jin is not short-sighted, but he can't let people like Xu Youcai and his son get used to it all the time, so he has to teach them a lesson, so as not to get into trouble in the future.

"Holy crap, what the hell, I took the exam and my tail was raised to the sky. Just pull your ass and let's see how I will discredit you when I return to the village."

Da Ya didn't get any benefits from delivering the letter this time, and was scolded by Xu Jin, so he spat angrily when he walked out of the house gate.

As the saying goes, 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 you for the rest of his life. Obviously

This is the kind of person who, even though the job he is holding is given to him by Xu Jin, he immediately feels resentful because he failed to get the reward for running an errand.

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

This letter was sent by the young slave Zhu Houcong. The letter mentioned that his father, King Xing, was seriously ill and his time was estimated to be running out. He hoped that Xu Jin would take Xie Xiaowan to visit him and his father. The font of this letter was neat but immature.

It was obviously written by Xiao Nuer himself. Every line of the words reveals his concern and admiration for his father, as well as his attachment to Sister Xiaowan.

Xie Xiaowan couldn't help but ask: "Ms. sir, little slave...what did His Highness the Crown Prince say in his letter?"

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

Xie Xiaowan exclaimed softly and quickly took the letter and read it carefully. Yue'er also came over.

After reading the letter, Xie Xiaowan sighed softly and said, "Your Majesty was fine last year, but why did he suddenly become so ill?"

Xu Jin was not surprised at all. Last year, Xing Wang Zhu Youyuan came to pick up the little slave. He was puffy, yawning, and out of breath when he walked. His health was obviously worrying. He was frightened by the bandit leader Wu Sanba at the haggis shop.

I almost couldn't hold my breath, but finally I took a so-called "miracle pill" to recover.

Therefore, Xu Jin was not surprised that King Xing was suddenly seriously ill. Moreover, according to historical records, King Xing had already died before Zhu Houcong came to the throne. Therefore, it is estimated that this time is more bad than good.

"Ms. sir, when will we leave for Huguang and Anluzhou?" Xie Xiaowan asked. Although she had no relationship with Prince Xing, she was his adopted daughter anyway, and she regarded the little slave as her younger brother in her heart.

Treat him like this, now that King Xing is seriously ill, he naturally wants to visit him.

Xu Jin said: "It's not too late. Let's pack up now and set off tomorrow. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time if I'm late!"

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

This morning Xu Jin went to attend the Luming Banquet. Sisters Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang stayed in the house. They also had lunch here, but they just stayed in the back house. I just heard that the maid said that Xu Jin had come back, so she went

When I came out, I happened to hear the conversation between Xu Jin and Xie Xiaowan.

Xu Jin said apologetically: "Ruyi, I'm sorry, King Xing is seriously ill. Xiaowan and I have to rush to visit him, so we can't go back to Qianshan County with you."

"Oh!" Fei Ruyi bit her teeth and asked, "Then...are you coming back before going to Beijing?"

Xu Jin shook his head and said: "I'm not going back, I'll go directly from Huguang to Beijing!"

Fei Ruyi's pretty face that looked both angry and happy suddenly turned pale, which meant that she probably wouldn't be able to see Xu Jin for more than a year. Traveling thousands of miles apart, when would we be able to meet again?

Seeing this, Xu Jin felt guilty and a little distressed. He couldn't help but step forward and hold Fei Ruyi's catkins. Fei Jixiang next to him walked away embarrassedly. Xie Xiaowan waved to Yue'er, and the two of them followed out of the hall, holding their hands.

Leave space for the two of you to say goodbye.

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

Fei Ruyi's delicate body trembled, and her pale and pretty face was instantly covered with red clouds. She naturally understood what Xu Jin meant by the word "take". Her filial piety period will end in August next year.

Xu Jin took Fei Ruyi's soft body into his arms with his left hand. The latter hugged Xu Jin passionately, as if he wanted to melt himself into the body of his sweetheart. After a long time, he raised his pretty face and looked beautiful.

His eyes were filled with mist, and he said softly: "Xu Lang, I'm waiting for you to pick me up!"
