In the corner of the tea shed, a few pedestrians with hats seemed to be unaware of the bustle close by.

But if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that among those people, the first one, since he heard Liu Qingxin speak, stopped all his movements, tried his best, and lowered the hat.

The tea that had leaked out of his arm trembling wet his sleeve.

But he didn't seem to mind at all, and the cold wind condensed his sleeves into hard.

"Find out where they came from."

When Liu Qingxin and the others' carriage was far away, the leader raised his head again.

Bi Chengen.

He regained his beard, and his face had lost its previous ruddyness, obviously, it had not been very good in recent times.

"Both of them are similar to Madame."

"But the older one, the conversation with the lady is like mud, and the younger one, although the temperament is similar to the wife, the age is a little incompatible."

Of the few people sitting around Bi Chengen, one of them took the order and left.

The other, who was sitting close to him, lowered his voice and analyzed with him.

"It doesn't matter."

Bi Chengen's eyes were full of cruelty.

"The old man just said, let me bring people back, but he didn't say, it has to be alive."

"When I was looking for a pariah who wanted to exchange my life for money, I insisted that she had a dowry and eloped with her, because she was caught by us and was afraid of being immersed in the pig cage, so she broke herself."

Speaking of this, Bi Chengen paused slightly, and put the clay bowl in his hand back on the table.

"Kill the older one, put it in a coffin, and send it back to Ningxia."

"The younger one, drugged and sent to my room."

Just now, when the "incident" happened, he didn't step forward.

But through the curtain of the hat, he saw Yu Yan's demeanor and look that looked like his "dream man".

Once upon a time, he also stood in the position of the woman who blocked her, smiling and watching his "dream man" messing around, but at that time, he was full of plans to let her fall from a horse and die, so that he deservedly swallowed her dowry, sold her dowry silver, and expanded his father's army to resist the imperial court's sanctions against them.

When did you have a heart for her?

Was it when she was impressed by her excellent equestrian skills and put a flower crown on her with her own hands, or when she faced the wolves, she used the strange method of striking the hooves to get the two of them out of danger?

It should be, not later.

Otherwise, with his temperament, he would have thrown her to the wolves at the next moment of escape, causing an accident and dying, and all the trouble.

Just like he did with those Central Plains women who married him earlier than her.

"Yes, young master."

Another follower, departed.

Bi Chengen is the son-in-law of the Bi family.

At a young age, he defeated many of his brothers, and became recognized as the most suitable candidate to inherit the title, and made great contributions to the family.

Becoming his follower is something that all the guards of the Bi family yearn for.

Although, this time, he was victimized by the "traitor" and capsized in the gutter, but just like their young master said, the ups and downs of life, who hasn't had a time to memorize words, fell down, and got up.

Whether it is the followers sitting here, or the other Bi family members who are far away in Ningxia, who doesn't know that Bi Chengen was kicked out of the house by the old man of the Bi family this time, and it was just a matter of going through the motions?

To put it mildly, as long as he can calm the anger of the Shen family, let the Liu family and the Shen family's caravan trade with the Bi family again, even if the Bi family suffers some losses compared to before, this matter will be over.

Businessman, the word is the head.

Even if there are so many of them, they live for the sake of face, but everything should always be done in moderation, and it is not good for anyone to be embarrassed!

……

The carriage traveled along the official road, and in the evening, it stopped at an inn run by the Shen family.

The innkeeper got a letter from Shen Hongxue early in the morning, set aside a whole floor for a few people in advance, and specially sent people to go to the restaurant run by the Shen family in the city, and seconded a good cook to Liu Qingxin and Yu Yan.

"Miss Lightheart, Miss Yuyan."

Seeing Liu Qingxin and the others' carriage coming from a distance, the innkeeper trotted up and greeted him.

In the Shen family, the third young master, Shen Wenlei, was blessed by God and found his two in one fell swoop, and no one knew about his daughter who had been "lost" for many years.

Although, these two daughters, one of them has lost her breath and was buried by Shen Wenlei and his wife, and was lucky to be rescued by an old doctor who dug it out of the soil, and the other was chased by robbers, fell off a cliff, and was picked up and raised by a good person.

But as the old saying goes, if you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing.

Now, the eldest lady who was revived by the old divine doctor has won the favor of today's saints, and has been given a marriage to the hot third prince, and the bride price and teaching have been in the Shen family for many days.

cough, with such a sister as a support, the second lady is useless, what does it matter, if it is not good, she has to marry a second- or third-grade Beijing official as a wife!

Moreover, the third young master of their family, Shen Wenlei, has been praised by the saint many times over the years, and he will be transferred to Yanjing in the spring of this year......

"Let people eat and drink upstairs, Uncle Qi, the two young ladies, all the way to the journey, eat, freshen up, it's time to rest."

Shen Hongxue sent her little servant to Liu Qingxin.

This little guy's name is Shen Mo, he is the son of the Shen family, he was originally a miscellaneous worker in the caravan, because of his meticulous work, he fell into Shen Hongxue's eyes, and he stayed by him to do things.

Seeing Uncle Qi, the shopkeeper of the inn, Liu Qingxin and Yu Yan got out of the carriage, as if they were stiff, and the pestle was in place, Shen Mo hurriedly stepped forward and called him back to his senses.

He has walked this road many times, and he is familiar with the Shen family shops along the road like his own fingers.

This Uncle Qi is a good person.

Since he was still working in the caravan, he didn't help him less, he naturally didn't want it, Qi Boyin was confused for a while, provoked Liu Qingxin and Yu Yan, the promising young lady was not happy, and destroyed his future.

"Oh, oh, look at my foolishness, how can I let the two young ladies stand in the wind."

"Come on, please, please, this person is old, but it's really, really ......"

Being reminded by Shen Mo like this, Qi Bo suddenly came back to his senses.

hurriedly confessed, took the first step, and led the way to the two, his eyes were full of gratitude to Shen Mo.

Yesterday's cause.

Today's fruits.

Many years ago, he saw that Shen Mo was thin and small, and he couldn't grab others for dinner, and he was embarrassed to tell the steward that he was so hungry that he couldn't sleep, so he ran to the yard in the middle of the night to drink well water to satisfy his hunger, and felt that he was pitiful, so he often picked up some of the guests' unfinished meals and kept them for him, never thinking that he would repay his favors.

I never thought that ten years in Hedong and ten years in Hexi, this Shen Mo once won the blue eyes of the Shen family's most promising Young Master Sun, and became one of the few people who were extremely trusted.

And this Shen Mo is also a child who knows how to repay his kindness, every time he passes by the inn where he is in charge, even if he doesn't stay, he will come in, say hello to him, and from time to time, he will help him bring some specialties from all over the world to taste.

Because he had made preparations early in the morning, after arranging for Liu Qingxin and the others to rest, Uncle Qi was idle again.

He sat back at the counter, remembering when he was younger.

At that time, Mr. Shen had not yet started a family, and he always liked to put a girl's name on his lips.

That girl is his childhood plum, the person in his dreams, but it's a pity that the two have no fate, and the two families who have become enemies because of a business beat the mandarin ducks.

Speaking of which, these two Miss Sun really look like that one, no wonder, when Old Man Shen heard that they were going back to Zhouzhuang, he was so happy that he repainted all the courtyard walls!

Knock Knock Knock –

The sound of his fingers tapping on the wooden table made Uncle Qi, who was indulging in past memories, come back to his senses.

A burly man, standing in front of the counter, his face was not very good-looking.

"How many guests live in the hotel?"

The inn where Uncle Qi is in charge is built on the edge of the official road.

Because the price is right, and it is located outside the city, it is not affected by the opening and closing of the city gate, and it is quite popular with passing merchants who are in a hurry.

In the evening like now, because they can't go into the city to stay, the ordinary travelers who choose to stay here will come every once in a while.

"Just now, did there be two young ladies with guards who stayed here?"

Because he didn't know the relationship between Liu Qingxin and this inn, the person who was "explored" by Bi Chengen asked without concealment.

In his mind, being a shopkeeper in the inn is nothing more than a reward from the guest, as long as the reward is appropriate, there is no "secret", it cannot be said.

After that, the burly man threw a silver ingot in front of Uncle Qi, signaling him to answer quickly, not to waste his time.

"Back to the uncle, just now, there were two girls with guards who came to stay in the shop, but before they came, there were already two masters, who arrived with more than a dozen guards."

In this situation, only the fledgling "stunned youth" who does not know how to turn around will deny Liu Qingxin and his stay at the inn.

What's more, he refused to accept the reward from the visitor, and the dead duck had a hard mouth, telling the other party that he didn't know.

Uncle Qi is an old shopkeeper, so naturally he will not do this kind of naïve response.

He hesitated slightly, and then, looking around, saw that he was indeed the only one in the front hall, and with great speed, he put the silver that the burly man had thrown on the counter into his sleeve pocket, and then, pretending to be embarrassed, twisted the three fingers of his right hand, and the implication was that one ingot of silver was not enough.

The best way to make people dare not act is to make them feel that the people under their hands are not enough to compete with each other.

And the best way to make a person feel that he is telling the truth is for the lion to open his mouth.
