Chapter 807 Bandit Couple
As the saying goes, like a father, like a son. Da Ya and his son Xu Youcai are as treacherous and lazy as they are, with bad intentions, and they also like to take advantage of small gains. For Xu Jin, the father and son are like big green worms on vegetable leaves, flies in toilets, and rats in the gutters.
Because of this, Da Ya went to the capital to play. In order to prevent this guy from acting arrogantly in the capital under his own banner, he deliberately gave him 100 taels of silver to bring back to Xujia Village and declared that it was handed over to the old patriarch for sacrifice. The boy got 100 taels of silver and immediately slipped back to Jiangxi, thinking that he had taken advantage of it.
Little did Xu Jin then wrote two urgent letters to the old patriarch and the big manager of SF Express. On the one hand, Han Xin ordered Han Xin to fire Da Ya, and on the other hand, he told the old patriarch to tie Da Ya to Shangrao County and not let him run out to cause trouble everywhere.
Afterwards, Han Sanjin did fire Da Ya from SF Express, and the old patriarch also replied that he had married Da Ya's wife and used the money given by Xu Jin to buy a store in Shangrao County to do cloth business. So Xu Jin was naturally quite surprised when he saw Da Ya at the Hangzhou Wharf.
"Uncle Ten!" Da Ya quickly walked forward and shouted loudly, fearing that others would not know that he was Xu Jin's nephew.
Xu Jin had just stepped onto the dock from the springboard, and Da Ya had already trotted to the front. The boy was dressed up like a decent man, wearing a brand new style of management, and said with a smile: "Uncle Ten, my nephew is here to pick you up."
Xu Jin couldn't help but realize that he went south this time for private matters, so he did not alarm the local government along the way. However, he sent someone to say hello to the shopkeeper of the hitchhiking shop in Hangzhou in advance and ordered him to prepare a carriage so that he could abandon the ship from Hangzhou to take a carriage and take a carriage by land.
"Dayi, are you now the head of the Hangzhou ride-hailing horse store?" Xu Jin frowned secretly.
A trace of lust flashed in Da Ya's eyes and he laughed: "It's early, my nephew is just a small manager now, and the manager is behind him!"
Da Ya said that, and pointed at him casually. Xu Jin followed what he was looking for. Sure enough, he saw a middle-aged man dressed in a shopkeeper and carefully following the officials. He was obviously a steady and cautious person and did not dare to walk before the local officials. Only Da Ya, the idiot, had no eyes, or the kid relied on being Xu Jin's nephew and did not take the local officials in Hangzhou seriously at all. At this level, it would be surprising not to offend people.
Sure enough, the official in a robe in the lead came closer and glanced at Da Ya with a little dissatisfaction, then bowed to Xu Jin and said, "Secretary of Zhejiang Governor Wei Yuan, meets Lord Xu."
Last year, the governor of Zhejiang was Xi Shu, but now Xi Shu has become the Minister of Rites. Now Wei Yuan is the new governor of Zhejiang. The governor of a province is a vassal official. He claims to be a subordinate official in front of Xu Jin and obviously has the intention to please him.
Xu Jin smiled and said, "You are polite, Lord Wei."
Immediately afterwards, other officials also stepped forward to pay tribute to Xu Jin, including the left and right governors of Zhejiang, the prosecutors of the Criminals, the commander commander and other local officials.
It is no wonder that Xu Jin was appointed as the governor of Zhizhe last year, and his reputation was still prosperous in the south and north of the Yangtze River. Now he is the hottest upstart of the dynasty, so naturally everyone wants to get close to each other.
"Mr. Xu came from afar, and the boat was exhausted. He must be tired. The official has prepared a place to stay. The official will settle down first, and then return to the official and prepare a banquet to welcome Lord Xu." Wei Yuan said with a compliment.
Xu Jin quickly said, "Mr. Wei is kind to me. I am grateful. This time I went south for private matters. I did not want to disturb the local government. Now Mr. Wei leads the crowd to welcome the marquis. I am already uneasy. If I waste money and waste money and waste food, I will never be able to do so."
Governor Wei slapped the horse's leg and defended him embarrassedly: "Mr. Xu misunderstood. The money he received from Mr. Xu was not paid by the public, but by everyone."
"Yes, yes, it's everyone who made it up." Other officials immediately helped to help save the situation.
Xu Jin waved his hand and said, "You are kind enough. I have ordered people to prepare a residence. Well, my colleagues, please come back. The yamen runners on the street have also been withdrawn to avoid disturbing the normal lives of the people."
Seeing that Xu Jin was determined, Wei Yuan gave up and ordered his subordinates to disperse and evacuate all the yamen runners responsible for cleaning the ground. Finally, he accompanied Xu Jin to his residence to settle down until almost dark.
This residence was prepared by the general manager of Hangzhou SF Express Train Store. It is a three-entry Jiangnan garden-style courtyard. Although the area is not too large, it is enough for Xu Jin and his party to live in for fifty people.
Besides, as soon as Xu Jin and others settled down, the guy from Da Ya brought a young woman in. The young woman was holding a little boy about two years old and spraying nasal foam.
"This is Uncle Ten, kowtow!" Da Ya pushed the young woman beside him and took the lead in kneeling down and bowing. The young woman hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Niece-in-law pays tribute to Uncle Ten!"
Xu Jin slapped Da Ya's wife, who looked quite Zhou Zheng, but she felt a little bigger, nodded slightly and said, "No gift!"
"Big Dog, kowtow to your Uncle Ten." Da Ya pressed the two-year-old boy with nasal spray to the ground, but the latter obviously did not want to kowtow, but just looked at Xu Jin curiously without saying a word.
"Oh, little bastard, kowtow to Uncle Ten." Da Ya was angry when he saw his son refused to kowtow, so he forced the little boy to kowtow. As a result, the latter cried and his two snots spurted out.
Xu Jin frowned. As the saying goes, "I am the old and the old, and I am the young and the young, even though I hate Dalian, I am the young and the young, but I am the young and the young, neither Xu Jin nor Xie Xiaowan can be blamed for a two-year-old child.
"Dayi, the child is still young, so it's better not to knock on this head!" Xu Jin stopped Dayi. Xie Xiaowan also picked up the little boy named Dagouzi, wiped his nose with a handkerchief, and asked Yue'er to take a pair of gold bracelets for the little guy to wear. The latter stopped crying on the spot and curiously played with the gold bracelet on his wrist.
Xie Xiaowan smiled and said, "This pair of gold bracelets was worn when Kang'er was one year old. It's not very suitable to wear them now. It's a big dog to wear them, so it's my meeting gift to the little guy!"
Da Ya and his wife were overjoyed when they heard this and said hurriedly: "Thank you aunt!"
Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang looked at each other and finally gave each a jade pendant to meet the big dog. Da Ya and his wife Xu were very happy. They were indeed rich people. The quality of these two jade pendants was very valuable at a glance, so they thanked each other with a smile, obviously very satisfied with the gains from this trip.
Da Ya's wife was still reserved at the beginning. After chatting with Xie Xiaowan for a while, she began to become familiar with each other. Her true colors were revealed. Later, she caught Fei Ruyi's wrist and said that the jade finger was beautiful, and she praised Fei Jixiang for her good skin. She asked her what foundation and lipstick were she using.
So, Xu soon received a lot of cosmetics, hairpins, headdresses, etc., and even the old clothes of a maid wearing maids.
Xu Jin couldn't help but feel speechless. It was really not that the whole family didn't enter the family. This person was also amazing. His greedy personality seemed to be even better than his husband and father-in-law.
In the end, Xu Jin was really unable to see it, and Xie Xiaowan and his girls were obviously extremely annoyed. They just because their relatives were not in trouble, so they found an excuse to send the "bandits" couple away.
Da Ya and Xu left happily with a lot of "meeting gifts". The girls finally breathed a sigh of relief. The beautiful maid Yue'er patted her bulging chest and exaggeratedly: "It's really outrageous. If these two people stay, they may not even be able to keep the chairs in the room."
Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang couldn't help but smile, and Xie Xiaowan scolded: "There is no exaggeration you said. After all, it's my relatives. It doesn't matter if you talk at home. Don't talk nonsense when you return to the village, so as not to hurt others' face. Do you know?"
"I understand!" Yue'er stuck out her tongue. Madam is good at everything, but she is too kind.
"Master, General Manager Gao of SF Express's carriage is waiting in the living room." The servant Xu Fu ran in to report the report at this time.
Xu Jin nodded, stood up and walked towards the living room in the front yard. When he came to the living room, the middle-aged man in the shopkeeper's uniform was already in the hall. When he saw Xu Jin coming in, he quickly saluted respectfully and said, "Little Gao Jin, I have seen the Marquis!"
Nowadays, SF Express’s chariot and horse shop branches are spread across more than a dozen provinces in the Ming Dynasty. Each province will have a general manager who is responsible for the management of the chariot and horse shops in the province. The person in charge of the chariot and horse shops in the prefectures and counties is called the manager. Gao Jin is the general manager of the chariot and horse shop in Zhejiang Province.
Xu Jin sat down in the main seat and said indifferently: "Sit up by General Manager Gao!"
"Just stand up!" Gao Jin said quickly. He, a small carriage manager, dared to sit down in front of Xu Jin.
Xu Jin didn't force himself, and frowned and asked, "Xu Jin (Da Ya's name) is the manager under your command?"
Gao Jin said carefully: "Sir, yes, and Xu has outstanding management skills. I plan to mention him as the supervisor next month, specifically responsible for the affairs of Shaoxing Mansion's carriage."
Xu Jin frowned and said, "Excellent ability? Take this seriously?"
Gao Jin suddenly froze and said embarrassedly: "Manager Xu is indeed... he is indeed outstanding in ability!"
Xu Jin waved his hand and said indifferently: "Mr. Gao doesn't have to be a taboo. Let's be honest. If Da Jia really doesn't work, just fire it and don't give me face. I asked the shopkeeper Han Xin to drive this treacherous and lazy boy, but for some reason he got into the carriage and horse business again."
"Haha!" Gao Jin laughed dryly and said, "Mr. Xu is so serious. Although Manager Xu... sometimes he is lazy, his ability is still good."
