On the 28th day of the year, the snow was just around the corner. At the Xu Mansion in Xiaofang, the housekeeper Dabao was directing the servants to clean up the snow and clean the house inside and out. The New Year was about to be celebrated, and the master was about to return home, so the groom could not.

By the way, the Xu Mansion is now a prominent and high-ranking family in the capital. The master Xu Jin was promoted from Jing'an Bo to Marquis of Jinghai, with an annual salary of 3,000 stones. His salary was about the same as that of the Duke of the State. He also served as the Left Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and was a third-rank official. What's more, he was given the title of Guanglu Duke and Prince Shaobao. Even the three wives in the mansion were awarded imperial edicts. The whole family was full of Zhu Zigui, which made others envious.

Opposite the Xu Mansion is the mansion of Wuding Marquis Guo Xun. At this time, a dirty guy led a donkey cart to pass by. The cart was full of honeycomb coal, which should be a vendor delivering coal.

Seeing this, the gatekeeper of the Wuding Hou Mansion immediately ran out and waved and shouted, "Hey, who... the coal delivery person, we have all the honeycomb coals in your car. We will open the side door for you now, and your hands and feet will be quicker, so your rewards are indispensable."

The coal-delivered vendor waved his hand and smiled, "I'm sorry, this car of honeycomb coal was booked by the Marquis of Jinghai."

The concierge felt a stern when he heard this. He didn't even dare to let go of his fart and turned around and returned to the house.

It is no wonder that more than two years ago, Guo Shouqian, the eldest son of Wuding Marquis Guo Xun, was broken by Xu Jin's design. Afterwards, Guo Xun was demoted to the title of the emperor. It was not until last year that he was regained the title. Now Xu Jin is famous all over the world, and he was promoted from Jing'an Bo to Jinghai Marquis and was promoted to the Left Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. That is even more amazing. So now the servants of Wuding Marquis' Mansion are consciously lowered their heads when they see the servants in the opposite mansion.

Let’s talk about the vendor who delivered coal to the Xu Mansion and got the payment and reward from the headmaster Dabao. He couldn’t help but feel happy because the reward was equal to the payment and was a big deal. In comparison, the housekeeper of the Marquis of Wuding was much more stingy.

"Hehe, thank you, the chief executive. I heard that Marquis Jinghai is going to go back to the house. Is the coal enough? Why don't you send another car to me if you are a small one? After working today, the young one will be closed for the New Year and will be open after the Spring Festival." The vendor said with a flattering smile.

The guy Dabao is now becoming more and more powerful as a manager. He nodded proudly and said, "It is certain that the master is going home more lively than usual. Well, let's go to three more cars."

The vendor said happily: "Okay, I'll send it here soon. Hehe, the gatekeeper of the Wuding Hou Mansion opposite was still whispering to intercept the goods. I heard that it was from the Jinghai Mansion's house, so I didn't even dare to let go of the goods."

Dabao laughed and scolded, "Go and go, you are just a little nonsense, hurry up and work. Maybe my master will arrive at the mansion today. After getting the coal, you have to clean it again."

"Okay!" The vendor led a donkey cart and ran out of the side door from the Jinghai Marquis Mansion, but was stopped by the gatekeeper after passing by the Wuding Marquis Mansion.

"What are the instructions for brother?" The vendor stopped and smiled. He dared to tease the Marquis of Wuding behind his back, but he dared to be in person. Although Marquis of Wuding is not as good as Marquis of Jinghai, he is not something he, a small vendor, can provoke.

"Take a truck of coal to our Marquis of Wuding, snatch, this is the deposit!" The concierge threw out a bag of copper coins.

The vendor took the money and threw it back, and said in embarrassment: "Brother, I'm sorry. The young man still has to send three trucks of coal to the Marquis of Jinghai. I'm afraid I don't have time to send it to the mansion today. Brother, please find the next one."

The concierge frowned and said, "What do you want to do with so much coal on the opposite side?"

The vendor laughed dryly and said, "Haha, how can I know this... the young man? I guess Marquis Jinghai is coming home soon. Store more spares!"

When talking about the Marquis of Jinghai Xu Jin, the concierge suddenly lost his temper and said in a deep voice: "Then I'll send it here tomorrow. It's cold and I'm too lazy to find the next home."

"Oh, my brother is really sorry. After working for the young one today, I will close my business for the New Year. I guess no one will give it to you tomorrow."

The concierge couldn't help but say angrily: "It's outrageous. You kid did it on purpose. Why do you look down on our Marquis of Wuding?"

"Oh, brother, look at what you said. How dare you look down on the Marquis of Wuding? You really can't get rid of it. After sending three trucks of coal to the Marquis of Jinghai, it's time to get off work after getting off work. There's no way, brother, I'll forgive me." The vendor laughed.

"Then you should try harder and send it here after you send it there. It doesn't matter if you're late, you won't be missing from the money."

"This...Brother is really not good!"

Speaking of this, the vendor refused. The gatekeeper couldn't help but be furious and shouted: "Bold, the money of the Marquis of Jinghai is money. Is the money of our Marquis of Wuding not money? Stop talking nonsense, offend our Marquis of Wuding, believe it or not, let you not be able to survive in the capital."

The vendor frowned and said, "Brother, you are not a forceful person. You have the ability to argue with the Marquis of Jinghai. What's the ability to bully a small vendor?" After that, he led the donkey and drove straight away.

"Oh, boy is so kind, you can wait!" The gatekeeper jumped and cursed. He was about to turn around and return to the house, but found that his marquis was standing at the door at some point, with a gloomy face.

The concierge was startled and quickly saluted: "Master!"

Guo Xun was a very domineering and autocratic person. When he was not satisfied, even his wife and children kicked him, spitting water on his son's face and still couldn't wipe it. So he raised his hand and slapped the doorman with a big ear and scolded: "Useless waste, you can't do anything small, what's the use to keep you!"

The gatehouse was beaten to the point of blood bleeding from the corner of Jin Xing's mouth, but he did not dare to squeak. He knelt down on the ground and kowtowed hard. Guo Xun stared at the Jinghai Marquis Mansion opposite, and kicked the gatehouse down again, then he returned to the house with a gloomy face.

In the afternoon, a fast horse rushed to the outside of the Xu Mansion. It was Xu Fu, a servant who was on the horse and crawled into the house, shouting: "The master is back, the master is back, the master is back!"

In an instant, the whole house was in full bloom. Hundreds of maids, mothers and servants ran to tell each other, and the news soon reached the main room in the backyard.

At this time, in the backyard, the coal stove was burning, warm and warm. The tin pot on the stove was steaming. A group of women were chatting together. The beautiful faces were spring orchids and chrysanthemums, each with their own good luck. A total of: Xie Xiaowan, Fei Ruyi, Fei Jixiang, Yueer, and Fei Xiaoyu were also present.

"Madam, it's said outside that the master is back!" A maid ran in panting and said happily.

"My husband is back!" Xie Xiaowan blurted out in surprise, her voice trembling a little. Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang also stood up excitedly. It was a pity that this cruel husband finally returned home.

At this moment, Dabao, the servant, trotted in and waved his hands repeatedly, "Madam, I'm sorry, I'm making a mistake. Xu Fu's boy said half of it and missed half of it. The master has returned to Tongzhou Wharf. The imperial guards will rest in the Tongzhou Palace for one night. If you go to Beijing tomorrow, you will probably have to go back to the house tomorrow."

When the girls heard this, they were disappointed and sat down again with excitement. Yue'er pouted and said annoyedly: "It's outrageous. Xu Fu always does things carelessly. This year's year-end bonus was deducted."

The god of the treasure scratched his head awkwardly, but at this moment, someone outside shouted that the master had returned to his house. The master had returned to his house, but the sound was still Xu Fu.

Dabao couldn't help but be furious, are you going to finish? At this time, Xu Fu ran in like a gust of wind and shouted excitedly: "Three ladies, master... the master is back home!"

"Xu Fu, are you itchy and looking for sucking?" Dabao knocked Xu Fu and scolded.

The guy Xu Fu's face turned red and pointed outside and said, "Brother Dabao, this time I didn't make any mistakes. The master has really returned home and is heading to the backyard."

"Ah!" The girls covered their little mouths and exclaimed, then carried their skirts and ran out the door. As soon as they ran out of the door, they saw a handsome young man in a crimson official robe stepping into the courtyard gate in dust.

"Pretty——Master!" Xie Xiaowan burst into tears in an instant. At this time, wasn't it the man who had been worrying about for nearly two years that had been day and night?

"Husband--June!" Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang covered their mouths, and were both excited and burst into tears, with the pear blossoms raining.

"Xiaowan, Ruyi and Jixiang!" Xu Jin rushed forward quickly, hugged Xie Xiaowan, hugged her tightly in his arms, and then hugged Ruyi and Jixiang beside him with both hands.

"Master, it's great, it's great that Master is finally back!" The beautiful maid Yue'er stood beside him and cried and laughed, and was so excited that she spoke a little bit.

At this time, the two twin maids also stepped into the courtyard in early spring and early summer. The two were still holding a girl, He Zhier, who was looking at the people and things in the courtyard curiously.

Why did Xu Jin suddenly appear at home?

It turned out that Xu Jin was very eager to have a family. As soon as he returned to Tongzhou Wharf, he reported to the emperor. After obtaining permission, he directly brought his people to the capital, which was only half an hour later than Xu Fu who reported the message. So shortly after Xu Fu entered the mansion, Xu Jin arrived.

"Hehe, Brother Dabao, I didn't make any mistakes!" Xu Fu scratched his head and said with a silly smile.
