Republic of China small businessman

Xie Jing asked: "A Mr. Huang who taught me before said that it might have something to do with Xunyin Jue. Uncle, have you heard of Xunyin Jue?"

Xie Siquan said: "Why haven't I heard of it? Every year, people who are not afraid of death go to the Minjiang River to salvage silver ingots. How can it be so easy to pick up? There are many people who died in vain. Don't believe that, Jing'er. Our family has money, so just do what you want." Ask uncle if you want it!" He played with the stone tiger for a while, then handed it back to Xie Jing and said, "This thing has nothing to do with the silver-seeking formula, you can keep it and keep it for thinking about it."

Xie Jing took it over, and didn't despise it because of what his uncle said, and kept it carefully. It was something his mother left for him, and he cherished it very much.

Xie Siquan waited for a long time, and stopped making detours, coughed and said: "Jing'er, Xu Jun is called the second master here, and I don't treat him as an outsider. Xichuan Xie's family speaks just like me, regardless of each other. You are here today, toast the Erdang family with a cup of tea, and he will love you like an uncle in the future."

Xie Jing suddenly understood and nodded in agreement.

Xie Siquan beckoned someone to deliver the tea, it was a rosewood tray covered with a layer of red velvet cloth, the teacup on it was also exquisite, much more solemn than usual.

Xie Jing offered tea to Xu Jun, saluted politely, and called him.

This time he still called "Second Leader", but these three words were different from before. Xie Jing knew that Xu Jun could really be the master of the Xie Mansion.

Xu Jun took a sip of the tea, then took out a red envelope from his sleeve and gave it to him, a thick stack.

Xie Siquan glanced at it from the side, and urged in a low voice: "Jing'er, open it and see, how much pocket money will the Second Master give you?"

Xie Jing didn't doubt that there was him, just regarded it as Xichuan's rules, and opened it seriously, Xu Jun at the side didn't have time to stop it, the thick wad of silver bills inside the red envelope, equivalent to ten thousand oceans.

Xie Siquan didn't expect so much, and said with a smile: "Jing'er, thank the second master, I didn't know that he had saved so much money in his small treasury, I guess it was a bargain, and I gave it to you."

Xie Jing was obedient and wanted to kneel down and kowtow as elders.

Xu Jun was so panicked that he wanted to stand up, Xie Siquan who was on the side raised his hand and pressed him on the grand teacher's chair, let him accept Xie Jing's bow, and said: "Since Jing'er recognizes you, we will be a family from now on, he is still young , if there is something that you don’t do well, you have to think more about him and take care of him.” After finishing speaking, he looked down at Xie Jing and told him, “The same is true for you. It's the same as that day, give me a good beating with your hands, and uncle will support you when something goes wrong!"

Xie Jing nodded in agreement: "Uncle, don't worry, everything is up to me."

Xu Jun was a little touched at the beginning, but he couldn't help but look at the uncle and nephew frequently after hearing that, hesitant to speak.

He still didn't say anything in the end, today is a day of great joy, so let them go.

After serving tea, Xie Jing sat down and talked for a while, then Xie Siquan let him go.

There were only the two of them in the hall.

Seeing that Xu Jun was still drinking that cup of tea, Xie Siquan couldn't help laughing and said, "The tea is cold, why are you still drinking it? I'll ask someone to change it for you."

Xu Jun shook his head: "No need."

Xie Siquan rubbed his chin, looked at him in disbelief and asked, "Hey, you are usually so stingy, how could you be willing today?"

Xu Jun chuckled: "I'm happy today."

Xie Siquan also laughed, his eyes curved into an arc, all his sharpness in front of outsiders was restrained, only gentleness remained: "I'll tell you, Jing'er will definitely not make things difficult for you, that child is very good."

Xu Jun thought for a while, then slowly said, "He's fine."

The more ordinary Xie Jing behaved, the more grateful Xu Jun was. The little nephew didn't embarrass them at all, and accepted the new family members like ordinary people.

A few days later, the Huang family in the lower city also began to send people to distribute newspapers. Although they also found a newspaper office, it was only a tabloid, and the articles on it were not good enough. something.Compared with the big newspapers that Xie Jing found before and the new-style articles he wrote, the new-style articles have become very popular recently, just like vernacular Chinese, read as written, and almost talk to people, even women and children on the street can understand, There is no need for others to explain word by word.

The Xie family in the lower city had been posting for a while, but the news in the newspaper had no effect, let alone the Xie family in the dark, and no one even read the statement about the Huang family's own saltworks written on it.

Li Chunlin was so anxious that his mouth was blistered, and he couldn't stop pacing around the house.

A young man hurried in from the outside and almost bumped into him. Li Chunlin grabbed his shoulder and asked repeatedly: "What's the matter, what's the news today? Is there anyone talking about Xie's family in the street?"

The boy was panting from running, and before he could speak, he shook his head: "No, no..."

Li Chunlin was so angry that he pushed him, and said angrily: "Why not?! There are so many newspapers, don't they be distributed every day, and they are all distributed!"

The boy said with a mournful face, "Master Li, indeed no one is talking about Xie's family. As for those newspapers, I went to inquire, and they were coaxed by some old women on the street and went back to cut shoes..."

Li Chunlin was furious and cursed, but there was nothing he could do.

For nearly a month, the Xie family in the upper city and the Huang family in the lower city had a lot of trouble.

But because Xie Jing had made a public opinion before and took the lead in Xichuan, the people almost overwhelmingly favored Xie's family when they mentioned it.Huang Wanxing made a fuss for a while, and lost his face and face, he lost money, but didn't get any benefits, and soon stopped distributing newspapers.

Xie Siquan didn't see Huang Wanxing's old face for a while, and felt a little more comfortable, but he didn't relax his vigilance. When he took Xie Jing out, he still asked a few good hands to accompany him.

Xie Siquan took Xie Jing to the salt field this day. He knew that his nephew was afraid of boredom, so he rode there with him on horseback.

Xie Jing brought Wang Su and the others by his side, riding behind Xie Siquan.

Xie Siquan took Xie Jing around for a while, and specially asked him to let go and run in the wilderness.Xie Jing was fine, Bai Shishi had been locked up in the stable for a long time, and the usually docile white horse ran like lightning, with its mane flying.Xie Jing wore a Xichuan riding and shooting outfit today, with a thin belt around his waist, and two small braids with red bean coral beads hanging on his hair. , he bowed and leaned on the horse's back, his chest was aroused with a happy smile, and he indulged the white horse to gallop!

Xie Siquan was a little worried, and called out to him: "Slow down!"

Xie Jing turned around and shouted, "Uncle—"

"what!"

"Come on! Let's compare—"

Xie Siquan raised his eyebrows, raised his whip and pointed to a small hill far ahead, and looked at his nephew: "Come on! Let's see who gets to that hill first, do you dare!"

Without saying a word, Xie Jing urged the horse under his crotch, and ran away first with a "drive" sound!

Xie Siquan himself was good at riding, when he saw his nephew running ahead, he followed without saying a word.The two ran fast, followed by two groups of people. The guards of the Bai family were silent, while the Xichuan men opened their mouths and yelled like they were having fun, shouting out the wanton joy in their chests. There is nothing better than now Time to be freer and happier!

Running all the way to the foot of the hill, Xie Siquan relied on his familiarity with the terrain and arrived a horse ahead of Xie Jing.

The two let go of the horses and let them wander around and graze at will, while they found a softer meadow and lay down on their backs to rest.

Xie Jing's forehead was covered with sweat, and he was still thinking about it while lying there: "Uncle, I will compete with you next time."

Xie Siquan let out a deep laugh, put his hands behind his head and proudly said: "Okay, I'll wait for the day when you can beat me."

"If I grow up a little longer, I can beat you."

Xie Jing said it seriously, Xie Siquan laughed again when he heard it, just thought he was talking childishly.

Xie Siquan turned over, touched Xie Jing with his arm, and secretly said to him while no one was around: "Jing'er, the second master said that you have someone in your heart, are you serious?"

Xie Jing said simply: "Really, it's at Bai's house, uncle, I want to bring him here later..."

Xie Siquan interrupted him and said: "This is not urgent, you are still young, you have to find and choose slowly, you know? And ah, it's too stupid, even if you keep it by your side, you have to make it comfortable, right? If it doesn’t work, just keep it outside secretly, and replace it when there is a good one.” The last sentence was extremely reluctant, and it was said very reluctantly.

Xie Jing glanced at him: "Is this how uncle treats the second master?"

"Then how can it be the same," Patriarch Xie said triumphantly, "Xu Jun is one in a thousand, a leader inside and out, have you ever seen such a good person?"

Xie Jing: "I've seen it."

Xie Siquan clicked his tongue: "How many people have you met?"

Xie Jing said softly, "One is enough."
