"Thank you to this brave man for coming to the rescue."
Two handsome "young men with jade faces" walked out of the stall and saluted and thanked Lin Yue.
"Huaiyu, Ling'er!"
Shen Wenjun hurriedly got off the sedan and stepped forward with Qin Ruo to identify him.
The four men disguised as men looked at each other and recognized each other.
"Wenjun, Qinruo!"
"It's really you!"
Shen Wenjun took the hand of one of them. She seemed to be a good friend. She said excitedly: "When I saw the embroidery for sale, it was so exquisite. I sighed that the masters were among the people. I never thought that it was from 'Dongdong Shuangqiao'." Qin Huaiyu and Song Linger."
Qin Huaiyu said modestly: "Don't flatter me. My skills are not as good as those of you who are known as the 'Suzhou Double Master'."
"Hehehe..."
"Hey, Huaiyu, Ling'er, you are also going to attend the Jinxiu Conference, right? Why are you setting up a street stall in Kuizhou City?" Shen Wenjun asked doubtfully.
"Alas, it's a long story. We arrived in Kuizhou half a month ago. We were staying in a small shop outside the city when we were accidentally robbed by a thief. The few things we had and the road guide were lost. Fortunately, I still have some skills, so I used the jewelry I brought to pawn some silver, planning to make some handkerchiefs, brocade handkerchiefs and other small embroidery items to sell. Unexpectedly, I just walked out of the stall today when I encountered a bully demanding protection money..."
When talking about his encounters, Qin Huaiyu didn't care at all. He always had a smile on his face and his eyes were always full of hope. She expressed her gratitude to Shen Wenjun again:
"If I hadn't met you to help me, the embroidery calligraphy and painting that Ling'er and I had worked hard for more than half a month would have been smashed by the bully."
"When a long drought meets the rain, when you meet an old friend in a foreign land, this is called destiny and comes to rescue you from thousands of miles away." Song Che said with a smile.
"Huh? Who is this?" Qin Huaiyu was curious.
Song Che smiled and joked: "I am the most violent gangster in Suzhou and the chief escort of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce. My surname is Song Che."
"Ah?" Qin Huaiyu and Song Linger were confused.
"Ignore him, he just likes to say weird things," Shen Wenjun held Song Che's arm and smiled sweetly: "He is my husband."
Qin Huaiyu and Song Ling'er both cast ambiguous looks, and Qin Huaiyu softly uttered two words:
"A perfect match!"
"Okay, it's really a celebration that we can meet here by chance. It happens to be noon. Let's go make hot pot and chat while eating."
"That will cost you money. Ling'er and I are really empty-handed."
"You're welcome, you're welcome. Mr. Song has a lot of money."
Everyone helped close the stall together.
Song Che generously settled the wages of the bearers.
"Sir, you'd better leave Kuizhou City as soon as possible. You taught Chen San a lesson in the street, and he will definitely not let it go." The bearer advised kindly.
When Qin Huaiyu heard this, he couldn't help but look guilty: "It's all our fault for causing trouble to you..."
Lin Yue slapped the silver whip on her waist, raised the sword in her hand, and said proudly: "I'm here, don't be afraid!"
Shen Wenjun looked at Song Che.
Song Che smiled and said, "If you're not afraid, you're not afraid."
After loading the embroidery, calligraphy and paintings on the street stalls onto the carriage, the group of people moved to the "Ba Daitang" hotpot restaurant.
They were all worried at first, but after enjoying a few sips of iced drinks and delicious food, all worries were forgotten.
Qin Huaiyu and Song Linger are from eastern Hunan, Hunan. Like the Shen family in Suzhou, they are both famous splendid families passed down from generation to generation.
They are similar in age, have similar interests, and have similar personalities. They are both competitors and close friends.
"Huaiyu, are you two coming to this year's Splendid Conference? It's such a long journey, why don't you even have a bodyguard?"
Shen Wenjun kept adding vegetables to their bowls. Seeing how they were devouring their food without any restraint, he knew that they had not had any food in their bowls for a long time.
Qin Huaiyu wiped the grease stains from his mouth and said: "Last year, the world was in a recession, and the embroidery at home could not be sold. My father was so anxious that his old disease relapsed and he died.
The family business fell into the hands of my half-brother. They closed the embroidery shop, sold Jinxiu at a low price, exchanged it for cash, and planned to open a restaurant, but they were not the type to do business at all. The compensation will cost you everything..."
After saying this, she looked at Song Ling'er again and couldn't help but feel grateful: "Ling'er and I didn't want to give up the craftsmanship passed down by our family for generations, so we pooled some money, recruited a few embroiderers, and opened a small embroidery shop in Tanzhou City. The shop relies on the customers it has accumulated in the past.”
From what she said, the Qin family and the Shen family had many similarities. They were both splendid families, and both were affected by troubled times and their businesses were in recession.
If Song Che hadn't descended from the sky to the Shen family and turned the tide with his own efforts, the Shen family would most likely end up similar to the Qin family.
"It's okay. Anyway, we are all going to Chengdu together. We are traveling with you. We happen to have many companions on the way. The general escort has taken care of all the food and accommodation expenses for you." Shen Wenjun puffed up his chest and showed his pride.
"This..." Qin Huaiyu and Song Linger looked at Song Che with wide eyes, watery and eager.
Song Che smiled and nodded. But his only worry was that as he went southwest, the Miao chaos would become more serious, and the only one in the team who could fight was Lin Yue. Even though she was good at fighting, it was a bit tight to protect the safety of so many people.
It seems that we need to hire a few more bodyguards.
"Hey, sir, our store is a small business, so please don't come and cause trouble."
At this time, the waiter's dissuasive voice suddenly came from downstairs.
Then, I heard a rough voice say:
"What? Do I look like a bad guy? Go, go! Don't stop me from finding someone!"
"Hey, sir, we paid protection fees to Chen San'er!"
"What the hell, Chen San'er! I already told you that I'm here to find someone. Are you deaf? If you dare to block the road again, I will twist your head off!"
Not to mention anything else, just these "I"s and those rough voices, who wouldn't think "him" is causing trouble?
When Song Che heard this voice... he suddenly felt that it sounded familiar.
After a while, I saw a burly man with a scar face and a sword on his shoulder, leading five of his men up the stairs.
"It's him!"
Lin Yue recognized this person at a glance. Wasn't he the scoundrel who was sent by Lu Ji to intercept them, Scarface?
Song Che frowned slightly. When he passed through Jinghu North, he asked Jiangling Mansion to put him on the wanted list as a gangster. This guy actually dared to chase him to Kuizhou blatantly.
Scarface saw Song Che and the others as soon as he went upstairs, walking hurriedly with long strides.
Lin Yue picked up the sword, blocked it in front of the table, and scolded: "You can't shake off the plaster even if it sticks on it. If you dare to take another step forward, you will be splashed with blood!"
Unexpectedly,
Scarface took the lead, his knees softened, and he knelt down in front of the table and shouted:
"Master Song, spare your life!"
Why?
