0573 Xu Butler
The current Tianjin and the future Tianjin are a problem, that is, they are too close to Beijing, and all the good things have been scraped away by Beijing, and there is no power to borrow here!
Seeing the opportunity, Xu Peijiang immediately rented a small courtyard, prepared various equipment and materials, and then took the model he brought to look for customers among the merchants.
Merchants are sensitive to good craftsmanship, and after seeing the samples he brought, several merchants tentatively placed orders. The finished product is very satisfying! So Xu Peijiang began to do his own business in the village outside Tianjin, and the business was prosperous! He also wrote a letter to Jiangnan to ask his mother-in-law to leave the child in the care of his parents and ask her to come to Tianjin to help.
By the time his mother-in-law arrived in Tianjin, Xu Peijiang had already made the most important decision in his life, that is, to rent a store with the future income of his dyeing workshop as a mortgage! In order to pay off the loan as soon as possible, he naturally worked hard, and while dyeing cloth for others, he also ordered some plain cloth and silk to be printed and dyed and sold.
As a result, in just over half a year, he earned back this year's rent, and the remaining months to earn money will be pure earning! Just when he was complacent and ready to expand the dyeing workshop, he met Xu Zengshou in the store.
met fellow villagers in a foreign land, plus people of the same clan, Xu Peijiang naturally entertained Xu Zengshou happily and warmly, and told him about the process of making a fortune, and sure enough, he was praised by Xu Zengshou!
Because Xu Zengshou is one of the foreign housekeepers in Xu Jie's mansion and has a transcendent status, Xu Peijiang still feels honored to entertain him, and even feels happy that he has caught up with Steward Xu! I feel that I will have a backer in the future!
But not long after the Spring Festival, Steward Xu kept suing and sent him to court because he used his family property for profit without authorization!
Xu Zengshou claimed in the statement that the dyeing workshop opened by Xu Peijiang was the public property of the clan, but he put all the profits into his pocket! So ask the county order to award the dyeing workshop to the Xu family! However, considering that Xu Peijiang made a lot of efforts to build a dyeing workshop, he paid another 500 taels of silver to return it to the clan, so he will not be held accountable!
But how could Xu Peijiang agree to such a bizarre thing and immediately defend himself in the yamen! However, the yamen did not listen to his explanation, and directly awarded the dyeing workshop to the Xu family and became the public property of the Xu family. He also sent a messenger to force him to take out 500 taels of silver!
But Xu Peijiang didn't have much silver in his hand at this time, and the extra silver paid part of the rent in advance, and the rest of the silver was used to expand the dyeing workshop! So the things in the house were cleaned by the servants, and the people were kicked out of the house!
But at this time, Xu Zengshou actually sent someone to tell him that if he was willing to come to the dyeing workshop to be a master, the salary would be easy to say! Naturally, he would not agree to this!
But just when Xu Peijiang begged everywhere and was ready to return to Jiangnan, someone sent their husband and wife to a Zhuangzi, and told them that Hou Ye would come back soon, and if anyone could help them, it would be Hou Ye! If you can't help them, there's no way! So that's how the whole thing went.
After listening to Xu Peijiang's story, even though Liu Haojia had already known all this in his heart, a trace of anger still ignited in his heart! However, he also knew that he could not completely stop this kind of thing from happening, so he could only say that he would uphold justice as much as possible after encountering it.
Thinking of this, he turned his head to Xu Zengshou and said, "Now you can report the background of your family."
Xu Zengshou had already felt impatient after listening to Xu Peijiang crying for a long time, and then flicked his sleeves and said, "It's ...... below."
At this time, Liu Haojia raised his hand to stop him and said, "Wait a minute! You didn't kneel when you came to the hall just now, and then look at your demeanor, this is still when you are a person who is a Jinshi! But just now Xu Peijiang said that you are just a housekeeper, so how can you have the courage to stand and speak? Now get down on your knees and answer!"
Xu Zengshou's eyes widened in surprise when he heard this, and said, "Master Hou, although I am not from the right path, but my master is Xu Ge Lao, don't you have any face at all?"
Liu Haojia pretended to be surprised when he heard this, and said, "Elder Xu Ge? But is it old Songjiang Xu Ge who is idle at home and has defeated Yan Song?"
Looking at his expression, Xu Peijiang and his wife were almost desperate! They feel like they're suing here
There is no more hope! This Xu Ge Lao is a very popular minister, and he also sent his student Zhang Juzheng to the position of first assistant, no one in the world knows, no one knows! This Hou Ye can't compare with the Xu family!
Xu Zengshou was a little proud when he saw Liu Haojia's surprised expression, and he stroked his beard and said, "Exactly!"
Liu Haojia immediately said: "Elder Xu Ge is a famous minister in the world, and we still respect him! So now you get down on your knees and speak!"
Not to mention Xu Zengshou at this divine turn, even the other people present were almost choked in one breath! Since you want him to kneel, why did you still look surprised and admired just now!
Xu Zengshou was used to being arbitrary on weekdays, and just as he was about to raise his hand to point at Liu Haojia to speak, he felt that something was wrong, and he raised half of his hand and retracted it, not knowing what to say for a while!
It's just that Liu Haojia is no longer patient, and said directly: "A housekeeper from a servant background doesn't kneel when talking to Ben Hou, it's really bold! Someone help him!"
Before Xu Zengshou could react, two people came out of the brocade guards standing on both sides, and they stepped forward quickly, picked up the scabbard and knocked it on his leg socket from behind! In a hurry, it is not easy for a person's leg socket to stand firm when it is hit, not to mention that the two brocade guards did not leave their hands at all!
These two blows immediately knocked Xu Zengshou to his knees! His knees hit the ground with a "click"! In pain, he couldn't help but fall directly to the ground and wail loudly!
Listening to his wail, Xu Peijiang and his wife couldn't help but widen their eyes and felt very happy! Even Liu Haojia listened to it comfortably, and finally exuded a breath of depression in his chest!
However, he was not in a hurry to deal with Xu Zengshou, because he also knew that this time he knelt on the ground hard enough, even if he didn't have a fracture, he had to lie on the bed for ten days and a half months before he could walk! This can be regarded as a punishment for him!
After a while, Xu Zengshou eased up a lot, and his moaning voice also lowered. At this time, Liu Haojia said, "Let him kneel straight! Above the lobby, what a body to lie on the ground and shout!"
The two brocade guards who had just beaten people immediately immediately put on one of Xu Zengshou's arms and directly lifted the person up! These two brocade guards are also a little wilted, and they go directly to the underground pier after mentioning people!
