Chapter Twenty-Five: Young Master
Niu vigorously sent Xu Yuanzuo into the Phiyun Gate, and then turned back. He still has an unstable foundation in his work, and he has just eaten the meat in Qiu Laojiu's pot, and he must digest it as much as possible, otherwise he may have to spit it out again one day.
Xu Yuanzuo was not worried about being robbed in the city. Although the public security situation in the Ming Dynasty is not good now, the city is still a pure land, and no one wants to cause trouble in front of the official yamen. He walked back to the house, but saw a carriage parked at the door of the small mansion, and a few small servants standing beside the car, obviously a big man coming.
Xu Yuanzuo thought about it, but he still planned to enter through the back door, but he was worried that the back door was locked, but he had not received the key yet. Just as he hesitated, the little guy waiting outside the door shouted at him, "That little brother, are you a new guy in my family?" As he spoke, he pulled out the tooth flag on the carriage, and it was indeed the word "Xu" in black on a white background.
"Exactly, I'm the new Xu Yuanzuo." Xu Yuanzuo quickly weighed the status of the stander guy and the servant, and believed that he should be regarded as a high party, but on the other side was the personal person of the proprietor, so it was necessary to maintain a good attitude.
"The young master is waiting inside, you can go in quickly." The little guy said, "I'm just waiting for your money." ”
Xu Yuanzuo hurriedly entered, and when he saw that Menzi hadn't opened his mouth yet, Menzi asked him to quickly send the silver to the main hall.
The Xu family has three young masters, and generally only saying "young master" refers to Xu Jie's eldest son, Xu Fan. This Young Master Xu Fan is Chinese New Year's Eve nine today, but as long as Xu Jie does not step down from the position of "master" one day, he will inevitably still be a "young master".
At this moment, Xu Fan was sitting in the main hall, chatting with Xu Cheng while glancing out the door from time to time, obviously waiting for someone.
A middle-aged man in his early thirties stood beside Xu Fan, although he was not qualified to sit down, he seemed to be more imposing than Xu Cheng who was sitting at the bottom.
As soon as Xu Yuanzuo entered the door, he found the discordant atmosphere in the hall, bent over to Xu Cheng's side, and quietly put the silver on the desk in Xu Cheng's hand.
"The money has finally arrived." It was the middle-aged man who stood beside Xu Fan who spoke: "Why are you so rubbing." ”
Xu Fan looked accustomed to it and didn't care.
Xu Cheng coughed dryly: "Yuan Zuo, this is our subordinate of the Xu Mansion." Xu Sheng. ”
The word "inferior" obviously stimulated the middle-aged man's self-esteem, and he looked at Xu Cheng a little viciously.
"Oh, it doesn't look like a subordinate." Xu Yuanzuo naturally understood what Xu Cheng meant, and he was willing to help, and he didn't forget to accentuate and mark "subordinate" again.
"It doesn't look like it." Xu Cheng laughed dryly, the old skin on his face was slightly pulled, revealing a sense of an old fox.
Although Xu Fan did not take the road of the imperial examination, because of Xu Jie's identity, he was given the title of governor of the right army, and the experience of the Zongren Mansion. In the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing, Xu Fan originally wanted to move to the prefect of Guangnan in Yunnan, but Xu Jieshang requested to change his rank, and the official department was changed to Shang Baocheng.
Xu Fan's biological mother was Xu Jie's wife, Shen, who died when Xu Fan was one year old. Because of this important reason, Xu Jie is even more interested in cultivating his eldest son, and Xu Fan must be asked to participate in the study of everything in the government.
Xu Fan is indeed talented, Jiajing forty years of Yongshou Palace fire, Xu Jie recommended Xu Fan to join the supervision.
The Yongshou Palace project is huge, the construction period is rushed, the building materials are in short supply, and the construction is in winter, which is extremely difficult. Xu Fan did his best to manage the drama, commanded thousands of workers to carry wood and stone materials, and paid for the workers to motivate the workers, and completed the reconstruction of Yongshou Palace in only three months.
Such stories may be few words in later writings, but for the person concerned, these three months are a lifelong treasure.
Xu Fan also worshiped Shaoqing of Taichang Temple and Yin Yizi for this reason, ensuring the political status of the third generation of the Xu family.
Xu Yuanzuo didn't need to ask around at all, all kinds of words had already appeared in his mind, and he knew everything about the burly and sturdy middle-aged man on the main seat. His psychology in his past life, coupled with his reading skills in this life, confidently has an understanding of Xu Fan's psychological state.
Now this capable young master didn't say a word, watching Xu Cheng taunt Xu Sheng, which was an attitude in itself.
In addition to the identity of Xu Fu's subordinates, Xu Sheng attaches more importance to the title of the chief shopkeeper of the Xu family's commercial house. The former made him have to bow down and be small, but the latter let him enjoy the treatment of the stars holding the moon.
"There is no such thing as condescension." Xu Sheng gritted his teeth and said.
"Yes." Xu Cheng took over the conversation in response: "Before the young master spoke, the subordinates became impatient." ”
Xu Fan showed a smile on his face, and turned his head to cover up the past with tea. But unexpectedly, Xu Yuanzuo still took it in full view.
Xu Sheng's eyes were on fire, and he bowed down to Xu Fan and said, "Young master, let's take the silver and go over quickly, the second master and they are all waiting." ”
Xu Fan glanced at him: "What's the hurry." ”
"Young master, you don't know." Xu Sheng said: "That Huang Yuanwai is the righteous son of Yang Gonggong, and he hates others the most, but he can't be offended." The trade routes to the north of our house depend on him to take care of them. ”
"Cats and dogs are all outsiders." Xu Fan muttered, got up and said to Xu Cheng: "You go together, I don't know how the craftsmanship of Zuiyue Tower is now." ”
Xu Cheng then stood up, bowed slightly to Xu Fan, and said, "Yes." Immediately, he turned to Xu Yuanzuo again: "Hold the silver and be vigilant." ”
Xu Yuanzuo still had all kinds of doubts in his heart, and when he saw a wicked smile on Xu Sheng's face, his brain almost crashed. Fortunately, he was not slow in his hands, grabbed the silver on the desk, took a step back, and followed behind Xu Cheng.
Xu Fan took two steps with his head on his head, and suddenly heard the impact of gold and iron behind him, muffled, and looked back: "What are you carrying?" ”
"Back to the young master, silver." Xu Yuanzuo said.
"No, the one that rings." Xu Fan asked.
Xu Yuanzuo said: "It's copper money." ”
"Why are you carrying so many copper coins?" Xu Fan asked again.
Xu Yuanzuo said secretly: You have to give me time to go back and put it back! But he couldn't say this, he had an idea, and said, "For rewards." ”
Xu Fan smiled and said, "I'm afraid there won't be two or three thousand texts, right?" Is Songfu tipping so popular now? ”
"I don't know how the little ones used to be. However, only from the young master, it will inevitably prevail. Xu Yuanzuo slapped a sycophant by the way.
Xu Fan was slightly stunned, a smile bloomed on his face, and he greeted Xu Cheng: "This guy is kind and funny." ”
Xu Cheng smiled and controlled his back, and asked Xu Fan to go first.
Xu Yuanzuo followed behind, and he didn't look at Xu Sheng, let alone care that he had annoyed this person by being in parallel with him.
Xu Jie has three sons, and Xu Fan has always followed his father and is at the top of the power vortex of the Ming Dynasty. The second son, Xu Kun, and the third son, Xu Ying, stayed in Songjiang to take care of the housework. This Xu Sheng is obviously Xu Kun's man, and he is obviously following Xu Cheng, so why care about the enemy's opinion?
Xu Yuanzuo couldn't understand the relationship between Xu Cheng and Xu Fan. Speaking of which, the two of them are one master and one servant, but why can Xu Cheng sit and talk with Xu Fan, while Xu Sheng can only stand? Just because Xu Cheng is Xu Jie's housekeeper, he also has a place in front of the young master?
Xu Yuanzuo thought of the people around the old lady in "Dream of Red Mansions", who could scold Baoyu and the girls, it is said that this is the rule of a large family: to respect the old and respect the virtuous. Although he is a member of the family, he should be respected by his juniors because he has served his elders.
It seems that it is really shallow on paper, and it takes more experience to truly integrate into this world. Xu Yuanzuo felt that he was not short of knowledge now, but even more lacking common sense.
Juri's world is too small.
