"Dad Chen laughed when he heard that..." He immediately laughed. These young masters from aristocratic families rarely go out, and this is not the first time he has encountered such demands, but it is rare for them to be willing to reward so much. Therefore, he immediately chose to deal with it on weekdays.
His grandson Abao, who was the most involved in the scene, followed Ruisheng, turned around and called several groups of trackers over. After dividing all the three coins, he told the one in the boat behind to go back and divide them again. Everyone was speechless for a moment.
He didn't know that the old man could make hundreds of pence just by exchanging money.
The young man brought by Ruisheng was named A Bao. He was only thirteen or fourteen years old. When he arrived at the tea shed where Xu Xun was resting, he regarded Xu Xun as one of those young men he had seen in the past. He spoke of harmony, gods, monsters, and mysteries, but Xu Xun had no idea at all.
This one was not good, and the questions were often about people coming and going and goods. Although he didn't know the reason, he could only answer one sentence. It wasn't until he discovered that Xu Xun was an easy-going person and didn't have the airs of those young masters that he gradually accepted it.
The fear he had felt earlier arose and he started to speak with spitfire. However, this tracker, like the coolies on the dock, was the lowest in the canal industry. Except for those little people like traders, rogues, merchants, and traveling companions, they were also the lowest.
It couldn't be said to be too charming. Ruisheng listened with great interest, but Xu Xun couldn't help but sigh secretly.
After all, there is still less information available to people at this level.
Just when Xu Xun was a little uninterested and was about to send Ah Bao away, Ah Bao seemed to see that Xu Xun was not in a good mood. After racking his brains for a while, he suddenly slapped his thumb and said, "I almost forgot, there is another one."
What a strange thing! Just a month ago, the chief manager of Prince Consort Qi’s family personally sent a group of people to Tianjin Wei to handle goods. It happened that grandpa took us back and took over this business. He agreed to make such a round trip.
, a total of five ounces of money. The chief steward came from the princess's house. He was so grand. He treated that thick man named Zheng Wang as if he were a royal relative. He also repeatedly asked grandpa to serve him well, saying that he was a noble man.
A rough man is not a thing, and he actually doesn't give you a penny at the agreed price. We have seen many noble people, and there are also some who cheat, but I have never seen such a stingy bastard..."
Seeing that Abao was so angry and was about to complain, Xu Xun interrupted him with a sudden cough, and then asked with great interest: "You said that the people in Prince Consort Qi's family actually said that this person is a relative of the emperor? To say that he is a relative of the emperor,
The one riding the horse is a princess, no one else in the world is more royal, so how can I treat a rough guy like you so well?"
"Master, you don't know, this God is really blind!" When Abao thought of that extremely vulgar man, he became even more indignant. When he saw Ruisheng pouring a bowl of tea, he actually forgot to be polite.
He took it and drank it all, and then said angrily, "That rough guy looks ugly. He accidentally said that his daughter works in the Qianqing Palace. Because she is beautiful, Long live the Lord... Ahem, anyway, he
Claiming to be a relative of the emperor: This time during his trip to Tianjin, businessmen and travelers from all walks of life gave him countless gifts, and when he came back, he packed three ships. It’s really unreasonable!”
Abao finally couldn't help but uttered a curse word, and then he realized that he was not with his uncles, and stood up in a hurry. However, Xu Xun could not care about his slight rudeness, and waved his hands with a smile.
He said it was okay, and motioned to Bao to sit down: Although he was very excited about this incredible news, the little guy stopped immediately in the middle of the sentence, which shows that the elders had warned him, so he couldn't just do it.
After digging into the matter, he had no choice but to continue: After the little guy drank three large bowls of tea and almost finished talking about the world, he took a look at Ruisheng.
Except for waiting for and taking care of Shen Yue for three to five days before, Ruisheng has been following Xu Xun almost all the time. Now he has finally developed some good eyesight. When he saw this, he immediately took out a small silver coin from his purse and handed it over: Abao.
He was just a young boy who had just debuted. Although his grandfather was the one who received the number, his monthly allowance was only one or two hundred dollars, so he had never seen this kind of money. At this time, his eyes almost turned green when he stared at something: for a while
, he swallowed hard and reached out to take it, wiped it with his hand, instinctively put it in his mouth and bit it, and then put it away calmly.
"Master, don't laugh at my lack of knowledge. This is really my first time seeing money..."
"Everyone has the first time to see something." Xu Xun smiled and nodded at A Bao, and suddenly said with great interest, "I see you are a bit clever. I am going to Beijing this time, and I happen to be missing someone by my side.
, man, would you like to work with me as a servant for a few days?"
"ah?"
This sudden question made A Bao confused. Even Ruisheng looked at his young master in disbelief. After a while, A Bao slapped himself twice. When he found out that it was not a dream or he had heard something wrong,
Then he stammered: "Young Master...Young Master, you want me...you want me to be your errand?"
"That's right." Xu Xun smiled and shook his three fingers, "Are you willing to have a three-year living contract?"
"I...I...I have to ask grandpa:"
Seeing that it was so difficult for Ah Bao to say such a sentence, Xu Xun immediately laughed. If he had knelt down and kowtowed in response without saying a word after hearing this, he would be a clever young man, but he is afraid that he will be covered with news.
He can't be relied upon if something goes wrong. But in the face of such a situation, Bao can still think of asking his grandfather, which is at least a filial piety.
So, he immediately sent Ruisheng over there to call the old man who took the number. He carefully asked A Bao's last name, age, who else was in the family, etc. When A Bao said that his father had been stranded on a cannon ship,
When he went to push the boat, he was accidentally crushed and his tui was broken. Later, he died due to lack of medical treatment. Xu Xun's heart palpitated. When he saw Ah Bao's eyes were red, he handed over a handkerchief to Ah Bao.
I came over and wiped it randomly. At this moment, Ruisheng's shouting came from outside.
"Master, people are here!"
Although Ruisheng had already said on the way that Xu Xun wanted Abao, the old man in charge, Chen, could not believe that such a good thing would fall from the sky.
At this time, he entered the tea shed and saw A Bao wiping his face with a piece of silk handkerchief. He didn't know where it came from. He was afraid that the duck would fly away when it reached his mouth, so he stepped forward and gave his grandson a slap in the face with a scolding.
Immediately, he bowed to Xu Xun with sincerity and said: "Master, please be patient with this child because he is not sensible. If you say he is smart, even though he is only thirteen years old, he got on the ship at the age of six..."
Xu Xun did not intend to listen to Father Chen's nagging, and interrupted bluntly: "No need to say this, three years of living contract, I just ask if you are willing."
"Yes, of course I am." Father Chen nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, then kowtowed to Xu Xun while pressing A Bao, while he smiled beside him and said, "Don't say it's a three-year job.
